I rooted my phone tonight, everything went great.
When I restarted my phone and signed in with my account, all of the apps I had on the phone before the root immediately started downloading. For whatever reason, they have all stalled and the market won't work.
I've cleared the cache & data, done a force stop on the market, restarted, taken the battery out and restarted, still, the apps are stuck. Is there a fix for this? Am I the only one who has experienced this?
Did you install any rom after rooting?
I've had this problem as well, and so do many other people. There is what seems to be anecdotal fixes for it. My personal fix that I've become reliant on is leaving the Market open while the download(s) completes, and this seems to work most of the time. I've researched the issue quite a bit and unfortunately it seems to have been relegated to a "oh well, we're rooted and have installed a custom rom, I guess this is an unfortunate consequence that can't be fixed". From cm7 to aosp to the sense based roms, the problem seems to occur on all of them.
If you open up Titanium Backup and run "Market Doctor" it should fix the problem. You may need to restart the phone afterwards, but I can't remember if I usually do or not, lol.
Hi Everyone,
OK, I am completely new to using tablets and android (and XDA! ) but I recently bought an Android tablet and although I put AV s/w on it I seem to have caught a bug. The problem is that, apparently, my settings app is now malware and it seems the only option to resolve it is to uninstall my settings application. Understandably I don;t want to forge ahead and do this because then I cannot manage my device. Anyone got any suggestions or can point me somewhere that could help? I have trawled the internet for an answer but haven't found anywhere reporting the same thing, so far. I am flummoxed and getting very frustrated. Also, any recommendations for malware prevention apps? Ta.
Thanks for taking time to read this. Sorry if it's in the wrong place!
You do know you should provide more details like which phone, which firmware, what antivirus app, etc.
But the simplest answer you would get is to stop using antivirus apps. Because most of them are hoaxes or give false results. There is nothing wrong with your settings app. I suggest you uninstall the AV app first.

It's not a phone, it's just a no-mark tablet (Tabtronics, if that makes any difference).
Seeing as the last several days (maybe a week now) it has had serious performance issues -- crashing, rebooting itself without my initiating it, not turning on for long periods, notification messeges telling me apps don't work when I have never tried to use them -- I'd say this is not a false result. And the AV (Avast) is the same brand I've been using on my desktop for years and has always been fiine, and I've had no problems with it until the last week.
Seems odd that the assumption here is that there isn't a problem, when there are a shed load of articles online stating how vulnerable Android is to malware. Unfortunately I can't find any that tell you where to go/ what to do in order to get rid of the bug. :crying:
Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Here's a good discussion that might interest you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186782
As for the issues you have, I would attribute it to either a rogue app or low memory. Try uninstalling any apps you recently installed. Also, try clearing app caches, freeing memory etc. See if that helps.
Well, A lot of Android users have been struggling with snapchat while trying to log in, it keeps saying ''Oh no, your login temporarily failed''. I like Snapchat, so since I wasn't able to use it I've been investigating and trying all possible solutions.
This is what I've found; The problem isn't Root itself, but Xposed Framework. In my case I just went to Xposed>Framework>Uninstall, then reboot and finally I was able to login and use snapchat as usual. I know unistall xposed framework might not be an actual solution for all of you, but I wanted to put this information here so It may help someone. I'm as dissapointed as all of you because of this decision snapchat took.
I have this problem for two days , unable to connect to my account. But before I did not have this problem when I was already root

I used Sunshine's S-Off tool to completely unlock my phone. After that I rooted it using Viper10's ROM. However, Snapchat is giving me the usual problem with the "Your login has failed temporarily." I can't create a backup of my app data because I don't have two devices that can be rooted. That, and I really don't want to go through the long process of unrooting, logging in, then re-rooting my device. It just seems like too much work and I'm sure someone has found a fix for this. I looked up some YouTube videos and someone had an app that hid the root files and apps from Snapchat so he could login, however I don't know of that still works, or if it works with my phone in particular. Does anyone know a way around this?
try magisk, may work, but i can't guarantee.
I kept hearing about that but I want to know from others as to whether or not it worked for them. I don't care about custom Snapchat stuff with rooted devices, I just want Snapchat normally while I use my rooted device for other stuff.
Guys i need urgent help i am rooted with magisk and have installed latest version. i have magisk hide enabled and have chosen snapchat in the options. Magisk hide perfectly works with other apps that i want to hide it from but it doesnt with snapchat. I now have been locked out of my snapchat account for 1 week and i urgently need help. i don't know what the issue is my snapchat i downloaded clean from the playstore but it keeps saying you are trying to access snapchat from third party apps. literally any help appreciated.
Thanks
Also i do not have xposed
Unroot. Install snapchat and confirm it works. Then root and hide with Magisk.
Or you can do my trick, take a backup of Snapchat (and it's data) with titanium backup, then uninstall Snapchat and restore it with Titanium Backup, I never had to put magisk hide like this for many years now and it has always worked even with rom updates and every flash of roms I did so far.
Hope it helps.

Do I back it up when I'm rooted or do I unroot then take a backup?
1. Uninstall snapchat
2. Flash magisk uninstaller in recovery
3. Start phone
4. Install snapchat and login
5. Reinstall magisk an enable magisk hide bevore opening snapchat
You're the first other person I've been able to find online reporting this issue. I've had the same problem and it started in December.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Magisk being hidden or being logged in beforehand. Even if I restore a logged in backup from another phone or unroot, log in, then root again, Snapchat force logs me out after a day or so. Then when trying to log in again, it'll say the account has been temporarily locked, and eventually if I wait long enough, I can log in again and have a message from Team Snapchat telling me my account was locked for X hours. I got up to 72 hours and gave up on Snapchat. Tried making a brand new account as well bad same thing happens.
I'm not sure what the hell they are detecting or how. I've never used any third party Snapchat clients and Magisk is the only thing I'd suspect them to be looking for. But I've no clue how and why no one else in the online world seems to be having this problem but us two... However, OxygenOS could possibly be a contributing factor in some way as we both as OP device (I have a 6T).

i did have the settings database thing but that was a long time ago and i didnt modify any settings i got it so i can take a backup of its apk and send it to a friend. (dont ask XD) but other than that no i dont even have substratum. Right also i tried unrooting it and rerooting it and now my phones giving the red message saying its corrupted and may not work properly. it still turns on but it says that at boot. Is there a way to fix this

You mean the screen that says "the device cannot be checked for corruption"? That doesn't mean it is corrupted. It just means through bootloader is unlocked so it can't guarantee the system hasn't been modified from stock. But that's the whole purpose of unlocking the bootloader, so you just have to live with seeing it whenever you reboot.

Then Titanium Backup, maybe?
By the way, how do you check how long you've been locked out for?

It's so stupid. They send you so message through Snapchat itself from "Team Snapchat", so of course, you don't know how long you were locked out for until after the fact ?
It seems to start at 12 hours and go up by 12 mkre hours each time they lock it.
Its not Titanium Backup. I have it and Snapchat with no issues (Magisk). I don't have any theme modules though.
So the other night, I uninstalled Magisk on my old OP5T bad logged into Snapchat. Its been a couple days and I am still logged in and they haven't locked my account or anything. So it seems that somehow, it is detecting Magisk on our phones, despite any attempts at hiding it. ?
I'm just absolutely puzzled by how this is only affecting a few of us. I suppose there could be more of us out there who just haven't posted about it, like myself until I came across this thread.
Something I have noticed that may help people on OOS. I have Snapchat cloned through Parallel Apps cause I have a few logins, it seems the accounts that always get banned and detect Magisk are running on the original app, the cloned app hasn't been banned once.
Snapchat can be i PITA when rooted ... Magisk Hide works currently for me on OOS 9.0.3 though.
Don't know if this changed, but it only checks for root at login. So Unrooting -> Logging in Snapchat -> Rooting with Magisk Hide enabled worked previously for me.
But right now, Magisk Hide seems to fool it even during the login process, didn't get any error message like "We can't login right now" (Which it used to say when it detected root)
Guys this is really lame. It started for me a few days ago. I have Pixel 2 XL and I am up to a week now as well. I love SnapChat. I did not have an Instagram until this happened to me the first time. Let them lose valuable active users when they are trying to secure more. The SnapChat update for Android is kind of trash from the few minutes I got to use it like. The camera already was supported on my device well. Now I cannot share multiple memories in one message from chat. I have to go to memories and individually send them. *edit: replaced a censored word with 'trash'

lose active users? You do understand that root users are like less then 1 or 2% so they dont really care about those uses if you can make the system more secure.
There are dozens of us! Yeah, well I am, or was pretty active. I don't disagree that we are small in numbers, and I'm not sure if the amount of people rooting is growing or shrinking. I have not installed custom ROM in years, but still root.;
My banking app seems to recognize Magisk after a couple days no matter what I do as well.
Got the same problem on my S9. Magisk 18.1 on a modified samsung ROM. Works flawlessly without magisk, pretty much instant account-lock when I install it. Hide or not, doesn't matter.
Ok so I read this whole thread up to now and I have the exact same issue with an Xperia XZ Premium. Now I only rooted and unlocked my bootloader around a week ago. Prior to this when I was on oreo I used the Andromeda substratum non root method and even modified the theme on Snapchat without issues no ban what so ever. I then updated to pie on locked bootloader and still fine. Only to the point I rooted did I get ban issues. So I have no magisk modules and only around 3 root apps (one being substratum which wasn't even working for me anyway).
Yesterday it would not let me login and I found that my safetynet checks were both false and I'm not sure how they were because every other time I checked they were true and I never flashed anything. I managed to fix this by uninstalling magisk and restoring my system backup. I then installed magisk again and used magisk hide. I just got banned not too long ago.
I think they must be detecting the actual magisk app rather than root itself. That's my theory, the only way to know for sure is just to have the APK installed without magisk flashed but I don't want to get the account banned again. For now I've decided that I'll not have magisk flashed and that I'll just go without it since I wasn't really using any root apps anyway. If I still get banned after that then we would know that it's not magisk but I can report back after. I've noticed that the ban happens at 5.40pm UK time for me every 1 day.
I have an Xperia Z2 which has super su installed but it isn't rooted since I just use it as a spare phone I used Snapchat on it temporarily and didn't get any bans on that. I'll try it on my XZ Premium as is without magisk installed and if I still get banned then I'm not sure what it would be.
Okay so after not having magisk installed I now got a 2 day ban and I'm not sure how because I do not have root installed and all my other apps that are installed are the same from before I ever even rooted so I'm unsure as to why I have this ban now which is beyond stupid. The only thing I can put it down to now is the screen recording app I have but I don't even have magisk installed so I don't understand how it wants to decide to ban me for an app I don't even have installed. If anyone can work anything out with this is would be great. I do still have an unlocked bootloader.

even if you did not modify it it's still a good idea to reinstall the app after ban(or even wipe data if possible). I had this problem before when after unrooting i got banned, i formated data and then i was fine.
