[APP][CYDIA] RootCloak Plus - Completely Hide Root from Apps [2014-01-11]

Update 2014-04-25: I know that I have not released an update in a while. I have been very busy outside of Android development. In order to open up the possibility of others contributing, I have open sourced RootCloak Plus: https://github.com/devadvance/rootcloakplus
Many apps detect rooted phones (banking, enterprise, streaming), and upon detection, do not run. RootCloak Plus hides all indications of root, thereby enabling those apps to run, without disabling root. See http://devadvance.com/rootcloakplus/ for the list of apps that work with RootCloak Plus.
There is no 100% way to hide root. Any feedback you may have will be helpful, not only for fixing your particular issue, but also for hiding root from future apps!
Requirements:
• Rooted Device
• Android v4.0.3+
• Cydia Substrate (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.saurik.substrate)
• If you are on Android 4.4+ (Kitkat), you need to install SELinux Mode Changer and set it to PERMISSIVE: (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux)
• Single user on the device (does NOT currently support devices with more than one user account!)
Does NOT Support:
• x86 (Intel) devices
• Devices with multiple user accounts
See the 2nd post for a list of apps that have been tested.
How is this different from RootCloak for Xposed?
• RootCloak Plus works with Cydia Substrate instead of Xposed
• RootCloak Plus hides everything that the original does, plus a lot more
• Works with native calls
• Example for in the future: Can hide "test-keys" in the actual build.prop file
How is this different than disabling root with temp unroot/SuperSu unroot/etc?
Disabling root, or temporarily unrooting, prevents ALL applications from using root. This includes the applications that require root to function. In addition, SuperSu (and others) cannot hide themselves, and are still detected by many apps. RootCloak does not disable root; it completely hides all traces of being rooting, including the su binary, some of busybox, superuser.apk/most common superuser control apps, and more.
Does RootCloak hide custom ROMs (CM, AOKP, etc)?
Not directly. Some apps that check for root only check for things like release-keys vs test-keys, and therefore RootCloak will work. However, if you are running CM, AOKP, or any other custom ROM, there are simply too many ways to detect a custom for RootCloak to effectively hide all of them. For example, addition settings activities may be added/removed depending on the AOKP version; RootCloak would have to hide every single one to be 100% effective.
Instructions:
1) If you are on Android 4.4+ (KitKat), you need to install SELinux Mode Changer and set it to PERMISSIVE: ( http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrbimc.selinux )
2) Install Cydia Substrate. You must install it, then open the app and Link Substrate Files, then reboot!
3) Install RootCloak Plus.
4) Reboot your device to enable RootCloak Plus. Substrate will probably tell you to do so.
5) Open RootClock Plus settings (just open the app from the launcher), and then go to Add/Remove. This is where you will change which apps RootCloak hides root from.
6) If the app you want is not among the default apps, press the + button to add it. Find the app in the list, and press it to add it to the list.
7) To apply changes, you MUST reboot your device!
8) Run the app to see if root was successfully hidden.

Thank you for this app. I am yet to give it a go. I will and let you know the results for Barclays
Some Barclays info for you
I unrooted my phone a while ago during the upgrade it to 4.4 (i prefer to use the official means to upgrade the OS then root it again)
I tried the barclays app after on a stock, unrooted phone and it still failed! I called Barclays and they said they have a flag/marker at their end that they need to reset before it will work again. They reset it for me(i explained i was rooted and now i'm not) and then it worked.
I am now rooted and i haven't tried the barclays app since, so in theory i shouldn't have the marker at the moment. I will hopefully try it in the next couple of hours and let you know.

Apps not currently working:
Sky GO - aware and working on it
Puzzles and Dragons - Does not use any of the normal methods to check for root. There is a good chance that it uses assembly to check for root, but I'm not 100% sure about that yet.

2 fingers up to Barclays!!! Nicely done, works a treat!

Anyone able to test if this works with skygo?

awesome
This great

I hope I didn't do anything wrong, but the app I wanted to test (Telenet Yelo TV) FC's every time I try to stream TV (so when it checks for root).
Is that common behaviour?

Not what is supposed to happen. However, that does mean that the method Yelo is using us covered by RootCloak Plus, I just have to figure out what the expected behavior is that I'm currently changing too much.

Odd. Well, if its not installed....there's no need to change it I suppose. Not sure how that's the case though, since 4.3+ should at least have it on there.

Not sure if anyone has tried it yet. The original RootCloak was working for some people, and and since this hides all of the same stuff and more, it should theoretically work.

I'll have to look into this. I've been running Xposed and Cydia Substrate at the same time during most of my testing, so I'm not sure why that's happening. May be an issue with Cydia Substrate.

big one for me is the SKY GO app...not working though? how can we help get this one figured out

I can try to put together a version that logs pretty much everything. The easiest way would be if I had my own sky account, though.

Followed instructions. Sky go still finds root on android 4.4.2 on the nexus 5 thus doesn't work for that app.

Thanks for the new app. Unfortunately, not working on Amis MobiaTV app. It keeps crashing..but nice work, cheers!

Thanks for this glimmer of home re: barclays banking.
I've just installed the leaked S4 rom, substrate, SElinux changer and rootcloakplus but Barclays bank is still saying it doesn't work on root devices. Is there something else I need to change?

Would you be able to grab a logcat when the crash happens? If it turns out to be uninformative, I'll have to get you the logging-enabled release that I'm putting together for Sky GO.

I cant seem to get Barclays working. I have followed all the instructions and even removed barclays and re-added it to Rootcloak plus. What is strange though is that whenever i click on Barclays, it always asks for SU access. Is that right?
Thanks

The one unfortunate thing of this awesome app is Substrate doesn't compatible for so many phones
All of my phones (SGS2, SGS4, SGN3) can't boot after installed Substrate...
I gave up. Whoo.

Goodbye Pokemon Go- ROOT no play. Update 0.37. (Solved)

Hi.
I just read that you will no longer be able to play Pokemon Go if your phone is has root.
Can someone confirm this? If so.. They have just shot themselves in the foot.
"Ahead of the Pokemon Go Plus launching next week, Niantic (unsurprisingly) is now pushing out a new update to the app that brings support for the accessory, along with a few other goodies. Last week, they announced that a new Buddy system would be added in a future update, a feature you’ll be able to enjoy in this latest release (version 0.37.0). Here’s the full changelog:
Implemented Buddy Pokémon: Trainers will now be able to choose one of their Pokémon to be their buddy. A Trainer can earn Candy for their Buddy Pokémon by walking a certain distance.
Made it easier to select smaller Pokémon on the screen.
Fixed an issue where Eggs would sometimes hatch without displaying the animation.
Improved performance reliability when a device switches networks to no longer cause the application to hang or stop updating.
Pokémon GO Plus support
Minor text fixes.
The exact distance you’ll have to walk Pokemon to gain candies — and the exact amount received — still hasn’t been determined. It sounds like they’ve finally been patching a few annoying bugs and although it wasn’t mentioned in the changelog, we hope the annoying way sounds gets muted whenever you receive a notification has been fixed as well.
In an effort to crack down on the amount of bots, scrapers, and cheating their way through the game, Niantic is also making the controversial move to prevent rooted or jailbroken users from playing the game. It’s unfortunate for those with rooted devices playing the game legit, but since this is how GPS spoofers are cheating — and ruining the game for others — it was a logical move.
It could take awhile before you see the update hit the Play Store on your Android device, so don’t freak out if you don’t see it right away. We’re sure it’s just a matter of time before the APK appears and once it does, we’ll post here for you guys."

Here is the fix.
Magisk
Everyting you need to know is in that thread. Search it.
Remeber to uninstall xposed if you have it.
This is the right xposed for Magisk.
Xposed v86.5
And the Material Design Xposed Installer
1. Unroot completely and i do mean completely
2. Flash Magisk
3. (Optional flash xposed)
4. Wipe Dalvik/Cache
5. When you reboot don't let the kernel reroot.
6. When booted flash the rest.
7. Use Magisk app to turn off root
8. Play Pokémon 0.37

How and can i use it with my rom and kernel in my sig?

Only a matter of time until they figure a way to block Magisk too. They're just overreacting anyway. Ingress blocks GPS spoofing, why can't this game do it too? I've seen it firsthand, Ingress just says "idk where you are you're using FakeGPS, sorry"
How do I install Magisk anyway?

With Magisk if it works smoothly .. .. because it uses the verification that has Android Pay ..

PoGo is much more popular than Android Pay, but I don't imagine many rooters will give up their root to play a game.
Niantic, and by extension, Google, just upped the ante in the arms race. Things are going to get ugly.

wow i actually liked the game but i guess this gives me more time to look at nature

Question... Can't I just uncheck root in SuperSU's settings and run it that way? (I have not gotten the new update yet so I'm asking beforehand). Magisk appears to have this option. Or do I need to totally uninstall SuperSU by dirty flashing the ROM again, and not SuperSU?

Simply unchecking root will not work. You have to use systemless root

So by completely unroot...Can I accomplish this by going into TWRP, clearing cache/dalvik, flashing again the ROM, GApps, kernel and skipping SuperSU..then installing Magisk? I really don't want to have to do a clean install just for this.

Unless you want to do a clean install skip ROM, Gapps and kernel.
Do a unroot in SuperSU. Then look for root-files in system. Like the OP in Magisk says.
After that install Magisk in TWRP.

Super Mario Run Lineage OS

Hello, i am new here but i really need some help, i have a Motorola G 2014 and this was on Official Android 6.0 so i read about this rom called Lineage OS and i decided to jump into, so i rooted my phone and install TWRP and then the Lineage OS 14.1 with Android 7.1.1 and everything works just fine, but when i was in Android 6.0 in the play store i pre order the Super Mario Run game and everything ok but my surprise was when i enter to the play store in android 7.1.1 the game says is not compatible with my device, so i try to use the market helper (i get the no wifi connection error) and modify the build.prop but doing that i ruined my OS and had to reinstall everything again so my questions are: when the game realese in 2 days from now i can get the apk in some site and just install it and would work? and is it some way to get this game legit in the play store without going back to stock? i really apreciate if someone can help me, thanks!

Your not the only one who has that issue with the Market Helper. I wish I could use it again too.
There's only one way to really fake the market but, it involves editing your build.prop file and changing the Android build version and sdk version temporarily but, that is something that you really need to know what your doing and i will only recommend that course for more advanced users.
If you've installed it before, then you could have saved a copy of the apk file to a backup location so, when you upgrade to the Nougat, you can install the app manually.

If your going that route, you may need to install the Marshmallow and then install the game.
Locate the game apk in the "/data/app/" directory.
The folder will probably begin with "com." and, when you locate the folder, the apk file will be labeled (as all the apk files in that directory are also labeled) "base.apk".
Then just make a copy to wherever in your MicroSD card and you'll have a copy of it. You can rename it to whatever and it'll be okay.
To clarify, if it's a paid app, then you can't legally download it from an alternative location other than the Play Store (unless the developer provides that information). Having a copy of it, as outlined above, is legal as long as you don't distribute it.
That's probably your best bet.
I wish you the best of luck!

The only difference between our setup is that I'm using SuperSu, the latest version 2.79. Don't know if that could make a difference.

Just an FYI...
The Magisk guy's have an opened issue in Github regarding a little issue with the Magisk SELinux not working properly with Safetynet on many Samsung devices. It looks like they're working on it now.

This app is so weird my magisk did not pass the safety test and my game does work but i have to erase the Account:.xml every stage i clear. i gues it would be no solution until someone release a cracked version of the full game and no errors

Another FYI...
The link below reflects another issue regarding SELinux issues that Magisk is also currently addressing:
Magisk v11.* failing Safetynet tests on Phronesis N7 rom for Note 3 (SM-N9005) #132
I would recommend those of you who use Magisk to keep track of the 2 issues and a resolution they implement in the next Magisk release.

Exactly the same issue than you !
Even with mario in magisk hide app checked( who did the trick for many others here )

Magisk is so unestable, even if i didn't use it i lose my root privileges and have to flash the su like 3 times per day, just for playing mario i think is not worth it!

Tearing my hair out with Magisk. Getting tired of it.

Okay, I am running Stock Nvidia Shield K1 android 5.1.1 firmware, with TWRP installed, and I just recently updated to Magisk to get the Sony Framework working on my Nvidia Shield K1 to use the Remote Play app, but, it always tells me when I choose the install option from inside of the app that it is not a Magisk module. I downloaded it directly from the app, so it should be the correct framework. I am also having troubles with Viper4Android, when I install the module, it installs properly, but the app? Oh no, the app basically tells me unsupported driver installed and tells me to update the driver, which I say yes, and then, it errors out and tells me I need the busybox or it is corrupted. So, I go and get the BusyBox Magisk module, and it tells me that it is not a Magisk module when I try and install the module. What am I doing wrong here? Is Android 5.1.1 not supported by root users anymore? Is my tablet just an unsupported tablet? What is happening to Magisk that's making it so difficult to install drivers and modules directly from the app? Can someone please help me out with Magisk? I am a noob, and no one makes videos on Youtube about the Nvidia Shield K1 with Magisk on YouTube in English. Everyone makes Magisk look so easy to use, but, with my experience so far, it is a dang nightmare to use, because I cannot get any modules installed on my tablet.

Philips Sonicare 4.5 Bluetooth toothbrush app

Hi,
I ordered an expensive toothbrush by Philips, it has an app that keeps track of your brushing habits.
Even tracks of certain areas you don't cover too well.
If it works that would be great.
But I haven't even received my package yet, and I just try to install the app on my phone, I get a message that It won't work because I have a rooted phone.... Well it does not really say this, it said I have a jailbroken phone. See attachment.
Now before ordering I did try to see if it would work on a rooted phone, (on my wife's oukitell) no, but with magisk hide, it worked fine...
On my Xperia xz1, with Android 9 rooted also with magisk, magisk hide does not seem to work for this app.. Not even magisk repackaging.
I looked in the play store and see that there are a few others that bump into this problem.
I found on apkmirror that version 4.2.2 does work though if anyone needs this info.
At least on a repackaged magisk, and magisk hide.. I did not yet try it if it works without those.
I wish app makers would not do this... Many banking apps and other important apps I never have a problem with.

For anyone that is interested, with magisk version 18 and magiskhide activated for the sonicare app you can use it, even after the app detected root 'jailbreak' (as Philips puts it), and you turn on magiskhide in magisk 18 for sonicare the app will work again.

Using Sonicare apk 4.8.0 & Magisk 18.1 and turn on magiskhide on almost every app (incl system apps)
but still get the detect 'jailbreak' message.
Any idea how to fix this?

The app checks following things:
Code:
String str = Build.TAGS;
if (str != null && str.contains("test-keys")) {
return "true";
}
for (String file : new String[]{"/system/app/Superuser.apk", "/sbin/su", "/system/bin/su", "/system/xbin/su", "/data/local/xbin/su", "/data/local/bin/su", "/system/sd/xbin/su", "/system/bin/failsafe/su", "/data/local/su", "/su/bin/su"}) {
if (new File(file).exists()) {
return "true";
}
}
also tests output for /system/xbin/which su and /system/bin/which su
and check for emulator
public static boolean isEmulator() {
return Build.FINGERPRINT.startsWith("generic") || Build.FINGERPRINT.startsWith(EnvironmentCompat.MEDIA_UNKNOWN) || Build.MODEL.contains("google_sdk") || Build.MODEL.contains("Emulator") || Build.MODEL.contains("Android SDK built for x86") || Build.MANUFACTURER.contains("Genymotion") || (Build.BRAND.startsWith("generic") && Build.DEVICE.startsWith("generic")) || "google_sdk".equals(Build.PRODUCT);
}
You can find application without the check here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VRqHwyN9OoHioX2-nppkJRwyQOUPAqSh .
Sadly due to paranoid developers you have to modify the app.

Thanks a ton! I've been using the app for a while, but now it came up with that blocked message. Nothing I do seems to get rid of it anymore, even Magisk Hide. I didn't update the app, either. It's really weird.
Can you tell me which class the checks are in so I can do this myself? I'd really appreciate it.
Also, can this be removed through just .smali modifications? Or does it require a full .java decompile and recompile?
(Edit: I was able to find all of the code you pointed out and change these myself - I successfully modded version 6.4.1 of the app)
And since you seem knowledgeable, another thing I'd like to do is completely disable the need to log in before using the app. I've been able to use the app for a while, and it works fine if you totally block it from the internet. If I could just disable the account check and skip straight to the main activity and make the app think I'm logged in, that would be awesome.
I'm not super skilled with modifying decompiled apps, but I'm going to try and rip out the need to log in with an account just to use the app. I'm hoping I can attach this to a debugger and see which functions I will need to change. If anyone could point me in the right direction with this, that would be awesome!

Hi!
I have the same problem with Sonicare for Kids 1.8.6 even when I uninstalled Magisk.
Can you tell me where did you find the checks please? I'm searching for it with APK Multi Tool but find nothing after a long time and multi files opening.
Thanks for your help.

I ran into same problem.
I downloaded APK, modified methods for verifying root a tampered package, recompile, resign and it's working.
If anyone interested I can upload it somewhere, not sure if it can be uploaded on XDA directly.

No i'm not talking about kids app

I know, it is an old thread, but it is the closest thing I found to get the sonicare apps running.
A good source on how and what to patch is here: https://resources.infosecinstitute.com/topic/android-root-detection-bypass-reverse-engineering-apk/
The patched apps can be found here:
patched sonicare app (10.6.0): https://gofile.io/d/6riPuK
patched kids app (4.0.1): https://gofile.io/d/2OcFKB

Could you re-upload patch kids app? Unfortunately "This file does not exist."

Would love this patched app as well, but link no longer works.

Me too

No patched app is needed.
1. Open Magisk app*.
2. Go to "Settings".
3. Enable "Enforce DenyList".
4. Tab on "Configure DenyList".
5. Search for Sonicare app and tab on it.
6. Enable all displayed sliders. (two for me)
7. That's it.
Have fun to use Sonicare app with your rooted device.
* latest Magisk app 25.2 (25200)(33)

Thanks resi83.
I did that.
Unfortunately on my device (Galaxy Tab S2, LineageOS 17.1) I still get the jailbreak message.

Sorry to hear that, joehensley!
Described way works fine for me on two different systems without the jailbreak message or other issues:
- Galaxy S10+ (G975F) with stock firmware (one ui 4.1 aka Android 12) + rooted via Magisk
- Galaxy A5 (A520F) with LineageOS 18.1 + rooted via Magisk
I'm sorry! :-/
Maybe someone else has also tested it and can give us feedback!? (@All)
