Installed Magisk on Pie but root and manager is missing

Hi All,
Having a strange issue with Magisk.
I performed the upgrade today coming from renovate ice (Magisk module).
I followed the instructions of flashing the full OTA of the pie update. And then the blusparks TWRP. I rebooted into recovery and then flashed Magisk 17.1 as per the guide.
Booting back into the OS I can see that Magisk Manager is missing and my rooted apps are unable to get root either. Also when I try to goto the themes section inside settings the settings app crashes on me.
I attempted to reinstall Magisk but this did not work. I only noticed that when I was running the uninstaller for Magisk it did detect my boot image is Magisk rooted despite the OS not reflecting this.
Any ideas? My next step is 17.2 but I have my doubts on it.
EDIT: I tried 17.2 beta release and it made no difference. Exact same symptoms

I was able to resolve the issue by performing a factory reset without having to wipe data. I'm guessing something old must have been left behind. Thanks for the help you provided, I appreciate it

Can't successfully hide root with magisk 18.1 for square reader app

I've been rooting my Android phones since about 2012, but today I got a point of sale card reader for my business and I'm not having any luck hiding root from the app (square reader app). The app wont work at all so I tried a number of options in magisk manager (magisk hide the app, hide magisk manager, enable core mode only) rebooting between each try and clearing the square reader app data and setting it up fresh each time, but still no luck
I tried to uninstall magisk but the app still didn't work. So I eventually flashed back to stock and got rid of magisk all together, now the app works but I don't have root...
I tried installing magisk again after I got the app to work and hiding root from the app before I opened it up again, but it still somehow knew the device was rooted
Can anyone suggest anything I haven't tried? Or is there an alternative to rooting the OnePlus 6 (other than magisk) and hiding root? I had a bit of a look around but didn't find anything.
Thanks

I had to go back to 18.0, heard 18.2 works as well.

Thanks for your reply. I tried with 18.0, damn, it still doesn't work, it still picks up that the phone is rooted
I tried the 18.2 canary build as well (18.2-e72c6685) no luck either
This app must be looking somewhere out of the ordinary for evidence of root in the phone

I have a bank application and facing the same problem. Hope someone can help us to make applications run by hiding the root
I think recent applications are looking for if knox security is tripped !! so in this case Magisk will not help

Ooohhh had to subscribe to this as I face the exact same issue!! Been trying to get my Square reader to work for a while with root and could never figure out how they are detecting root. Using Pixel XL here

Google changed something in Safety Net in play services, it passes, yet for me, google pay fails. That COULD be the issue, though I read 18.2 fixes that. Another option I helped a friend with is if it's detecting magisk itself via the files, culprit here was pokemon go.
Try opening your Magisk settings, the tick "hide magisk manager" clear the repo cache, and rename or delete the MagiskManager folder on the root of your storage. Reboot, clear data from the square app, and try again. Keep in mind, you have to unhide magisk to update it.

In my case, I dont think its detecting the files. The reason i say that is because I play Pokemon Go just fine with no issues. So whatever Square is doing, its something different then what PoGo is doing.

I agree, I have no problem hiding magisk and root from other apps, the square reader app must be somehow different. I've even gone through my storage and deleted any files or folders that might suggest the phone is rooted, but still no luck...
I also went into battery optimization settings to stop magisk from being put to sleep (which might stop magisk hide from working..?), that didn't work either.
I've found a temporary workaround to my problem anyway, I realized that I can share my internet (wifi hotspot) with my ipod touch, this way square reader works as the ipod touch isn't jailbroken or modified. It just means I have to carry around my ipod touch with me, which is a better trade off for me than having a stock, non root phone

Managed to get it working today! Upgraded my Pixel XL to the Android Q beta. By doing this, I had to run Magisk canary build. Installed square, enabled Magisk hide, rebooted and it worked fine! Not sure if the Android Q beta has anything to do with it,but give the canary builds of Magisk a try

I updated to the latest canary build, cleared all data from square reader app, selected magisk hide, rebooted the device. After it booted up I tried to run it and it still detected root. I have a feeling that the OnePlus OS does something that doesn't totally allow me to hide root from the square reader app. It's annoying because for other apps root can be hidden
Maybe there's something in the Android Q build that lets you hide root better

Something that seems reliable right now on 18.1, Pixel Experience and OOS :
Combine Magisk Hide with Magisk "Core Mode". This seems to do the trick for now, Google Pay is triggered with normal mode, but works in Core Mode. Same for Snapchat and banking apps like N26.
But within this, you can't use any module.

This is always a good idea, on OOS at least, Magisk being optimized sometimes prevents the granting of root rights to apps, it never reacts to kernel applications requesting root on startup for example.

There's an issue with Googlypay services apparently. You need to downgrade it (remove factory updates) so it's down to version 14.something and then it should work.
You need to disable admin rights and background data to try to prevent autoupdates as well. This thread may be useful?

Ummm yeah.. then the problem doesn't lie within Google pay it lies within the modifications that you are using.
I have to say I have never had any issues with Google pay or Android pay or any banking app using magisk. I don't even have to hide anyting. Of course I'm also not using any modified ROMs or kernels either

Hi guys,
I have this issue for a couple years now and I just cannot find a solution!
Google Pay, and 4 banking app from two different countries work fine with my 1+6 (stock ROM OOS 9.0.9 with magisk 19.4 - 7.3.4) but Square does not.
Did anyone find a solution?
Magisk config:
Magisk hide
Two modules OOS phone record and youtube
No core mode
All banking app and Square hidden

HDFC Bank app - app doesn't support rooted devices

Recently rooted my op6
Problem - HDFC Bank app is not starting ..stating that app doesn't support rooted devices.
I tried using magisk hide on latest version but no luck
Please guide

Have you repackaged magisk manager ? You can do it in the settings. Magisk manager will be repackaged so those apps won't detect it.
If that doesn't help try to hide Google services as well.

Open Magisk Manager App.
Go to Settings in MM App, select repack/hide magisk manager and wait for download/installation.
Open the new Magisk App and select Magisk Hide and Hide your banking app.
Just reboot to make sure everything is fine and try to open your banking app. That's it.

I managed to get it working by using following steps:
1. Uninstall Hdfc App.
2. Repack Magisk Manager with different name.
3. opened newly repacked magisk, let it install update.
4. Restart phone.
5. Install Hdfc app.
6. Add Hdfc app in magisk hide.
I worked like charm. after this Citi App, Yono as well started working.

My advice: First clear cache and data of apps that detect root. Got to Magisk and repack it ( options/general), now hide apps in magisk hide. After that install safetypatch in magisk and reboot phone. You should be all done. This is working with every app I've tried. (bank, snapchat, even some kind of electronic ID app)
Enjoy

Not working. Followed all tips in the thread till here. May b all are false claims for likes I guess. No real working solution.

I tried everything listed in this thread but nothing worked. Devices is google certified, passes safety net, repacked magisk to hide it, also included banking app and google framework in magisk hide list but did not work. HDFC developers seems smart to detect root. Can any one help me out?

Snapchat and root

Hi title says all,
If you root your device is it possible to use snapchat?
On my rooted samsung device i was gettting after a few days a temporary ban.
Thanks, ?

Snapchat should work fine. I had one time over this weekend i got banned for 12 hours but at the time my Magisk was crashing from updating without removing substratum theme.
As long as you enable magisk hide and pay attention to updates, you should be fine.

You can use Snapchat if you don't install Xposed, I do know that much. Xposed gives you a temp. ban. There might be a work-around, but if you don't need that, you're good to go anyways

Don't have OP yet , but with other devices I've found that enabling Hide on Magisk for Snapchat actually makes things worse
Do others using Magisk have to enable Hide to use Snapchat?

Follow these steps to use Snapchat with magisk -
1.) Update to latest Magisk stable build v20.0 - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.0/Magisk-v20.0.zip
2.) After updating magisk, Go to Magisk Manager > Magisk Hide and check/enable Snapchat and Google Services (all services have to be marked).
3.) Hide Magisk Manager by it self, go to Magisk Manager > Settings and "Hide Magisk Manager" so it will repack Magisk Manager with random name.
4.) Delete "busybox" binary from /system/xbin directory and install BusyBox module from Magisk Manager > Downloads.
5.) Clear data and cache of Snapchat, try to login this time, it will work for sure, if it doesn't, login to this and click unlock my account - https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/login?continue=https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/welcome
I have tried this myself and it works, my first main account was permanent banned on magisk canary build, After that I deleted that account and started out with fresh new account.
Tested on -
Samsung Galaxy S9+
Rom - Ultimate Rom v11.3
Magisk - v20.0 (Stable)
Kernel - ElementalX

You won't get a temp ban with xposed. I'm even using SnapTools (Snapchat modifications) along with xposed and I've been fine for about 3 months now.

MagiskHide & Microsoft Teams

Hey guys
I've been using Microsoft Teams on my on my rooted phone using Magisk Hide for a while and it suddenly stopped working (saying my phone was rooted).
I then updated Magisk Manager & Magisk (22.0) but then Safetynet didn't pass anymore. I fixed it using safetynet-fix module as suggested here.
However since then I can't manage to use Teams, it still detects my phone is rooted. Magisk Hide is activated on the Teams app and companyportal app
Any help ?
Thanks

I'm using the Magisk v21.2.zip and the Magisk 22 (manager). I uninstalled the Teams and the Company Portal app, made Magisk appear with another name (you can do it in the settings, I just put "Manager"), installed those apps again, used Magisk Hide and then it finally worked

Well after like a day or two it just moans about root access and you still have to do uninstall both and reinstall - So it's either that or remove root - It seemed to work but it's not for long 2 days of usage tops

For me, I managed to fix it somehow by uninstalling some root apps (TitaniumBackup, Swift Backup, Tasker, etc) and deleting my twrp folder in my root storage and removing CP/Teams and then restarting and then re-installing CP/Teams and then unchecking MagiskHide on these apps (it was already-reselected) and then re-enabling MagiskHide. I think ultimately it was this last step (re-toggling MagiskHide on/off) that fixed it. Previously, after re-installing CP/Teams, MagiskHide (and all sliders) was already enabled and I just figured it was working, but it might not have been.
EDIT - nevermind, it still gave me the error after some time.

Still not working for me on my OnePlus 9 Pro. Removed all files/folder with root/kernel/boot naming from root storage. Deleted MS Teams and Portal app and reinstalled them. Reenabled in Magisk Hide but the Portal tool still detects root. Any other solutions?
Edit:
It worked now. In Magisk Hide I had to select all services from the Portal app and not just the main one.

I did some testing and the latest Microsoft Teams (V1416/1.0.0.2021114201) works with company portal app with up to this version:
Intune Company Portal - 2021-05-12 - v5.0.5147.0
Anything newer eventually leads to 'non-compliant device' error, even with the latest magisk hide fixes.
You can get it on apkpure.

same problems here, even though some months have passed after this thread,
teams requested that I go over and install this intune company portal app,
the problem occurred in 2 (of my 3) devices, all rooted, the 2 that had the problem are rooted with magisk,
no problems on the 3rd one rooted with super su,
anyway, I've spent many hours trying to make it work,
I changed package name of magisk, I updated it,
I uninstalled edxposed and switched to lsposed, etc,
nothing worked,
only thing that worked for me was to roll back to an old teams version,
back to august of 2020,
I downloaded from apkmirror

Would it not be possible to just keep everything the way it is and only unroot the phone?
Or does unrooting mean you have to go back to stock rom...?

of course it would be possible,
I'm not using a custom rom (miui actually) but you wouldn't have to go back to stock anyway,
anyway, I wouldn't want to lose root only for some app that I use on a laptop or work desktop
most of the time, it's useful for the notifications though..

It does work, and you do not need to reinstall or delete anything - just select the Portal app in Magisk Hide, select it again to display its services, and check all the services.

I'm using Teams on different Magisk rooted Androids, also MIUI 12.5.12.0. Why should that be an issue?
