Root is required for this application. Thanks to DesignGears & Chainfire for putting in the work for root to be on our phones.
Please try method 1 and 2 before posting that it doesn't work. Let me know which one worked for you in the comments.
_________________________________
Method 1 :
Download FDroid from this link - https://f-droid.org/FDroid.apk
Open FDroid and download AdAway.
Some have reported that this AdAway will install the host file without any issues.
_________________________________
Method 2 :
Download AdAway here - http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490004670
(All credit for the link goes to mrRobinson)
After you have installed and opened the app -
Click "Download files and apply ad blocking"
The app is going to crash, don't worry!
Re-open the application and click "Download files and apply ad blocking" again
This time it will give you a pop up saying "Copying of host file failed", once again don't worry!
Now click the refresh button in the top right, and now for the last time click "Download files and apply ad blocking"
You will now be told that it was successful and to restart.
This is how I got it to work, I apologize if it does not work on your device.
Please click the thanks button if this worked for you.

I tried to get the the app from that website but they want you to download it through a store. And I don't know about others but it hangs on downloading icons or something. So the only way I got the app was from mrRobinson post. According to him its the same app, but he just compiled it from the source from the Devs website.
does this nix the youtube apps? (pre-rolls)

Well yea but the stores legit no worries there

I just installed it normally with no problems. Never even had a crash the first time.
I'm not rooted (yet), but all of my rooted device AdAway just works. So I really don't see any reason for the AdAway NOT to work if your phone is rooted. Unless I'm missing something here...

This was just my experience with it. I have used adaway on other devices and it just installed with no problem. I posted this because I had seen some other people were having issues with it, so I was just letting people know how I got it to work.

I downloaded my AdAway from f-Droid, but I've seen the same crash behavior.
After the crash, the download and apply worked on the first try.
(The first time, I had to flash back to stock and re-root. The second time applying AdAway blocking took a couple of tries before it went through (6 more specifically))
you can try adaway 2.3 official
or
AdAway-release_Build-10.09.13
the new release is working like a charm

Mine also hung on downloading icons....so i went to playstore and seached for busybox...downloaded and installed newest version by jrummy....installed box and then tried the app again and install flawlessly....doesnt mean it will work for everyone but it worked for me...:good::laugh:
I just install it from fdroid. I don't really use a lot of stuff from there as it's mostly in the market, but I do for this one so I don't have to look for updates on a website etc.
i dled it from fdroid also, it didnt work at first, would just hang up on applying the files but i rebooted and it was successful the first try

Thanks for the feedback. I will update the thread to have both methods shortly
I've found supersu leaving dozens of sudaemon's around which sometimes breaks root entirely (until you reboot) or sometimes you can manage to get su to work and then kill apps.
Adaway seems to potentially be a leading cause of this, or maybe it's just the obvious victim, I'm not sure. But I often find it's complaining it could not apply the hosts file, so I get into a shell, find a bunch of stray sudaemon's, kill them, then it's happy again.
I think there's still some tweaking that can be done for su on 4.3.
All I did was install Fdroid, then
Go into to terminal and type this
su
restorecon -R -v /data/data
Then install adaway and run as normal

Use FDroid
Just a quick heads-up. I used FDroid to install AdAway yesterday...no problems, loaded first time and enabled without a hitch. A word to the less experienced Android (Note 3) flashers like myself.
OFF TOPIC Question: What's the best Terminal Emulator to use for someone like me, who wants to learn to use a TE?? Your assistance would be most appreciated.
Thanx...Chief
Hi Vodafone users,
you have already noticed that the new payment app Vodafone Wallet do not work with rooted devices. It asks for su support and has a FC.
Here my easy instruction that let it work with root.
You only need to set in shell blocking su with the xposed module xprivacy (full version).
Kind regards

Please help me, i try your instruccions and always Fc, clase force., if you up a images of proccesing i Will very happy with you.
A lot of thanks for your time
The thing is that it work only for a few minutes. U only need to set blocking su in shell.
When it FC you must give the app all rights and open it with the root warning then block su and open it again.
It is not a stable solution but it works.
Regards Peterle
There's a Cydia variant, too.. Instead of the Xposed Variant you could try this. Heard it works better for a lot of apps.

Did you alo install SElinux Mode Changer and Cydia Substrate as described in the rootcloak instructions?
I want to give it a try and I am not sure if I really have to install all three packages.

Did you try calling costumer service? I got that message before using rootcloak, but after that it just worked. I would bet it's the sim that is not working properly.
Are you a fan of Snapchat? Have you readed the sad news at XDA news and you want to keep your phone rooted? Well no problem. what you need is uninstall the original app and install this modded app. No xposed needed. No any 3rd party apps needed!
Tested on rooted Bluestacks emulator and it work without being blocked
How root detection works?
They use a very simple codes to detect the path to superuser, such as /system/bin, /system/app/superuser.apk, and so on, and i have removed it, so Snapchat can work on any rooted devices.
How to install modded APK:
Uninstall original Snapchat app
Download this modded Snapchat app
Install it on your device
Login with your account, and you are done!
Enjoy Snapchatting!
]
How to fix connection error:
Uninstall modded Snapchat
Install Snapchat from Playstore, and sign in
Uninstall original Snapchat
Install modded Snapchat, and reboot the device
Open it and sign in
This trick worked for me. Connection still work on rooted Bluestacks.
Note: This mod APK does NOT contain spyware or hidden code which take out your personal infomation. I do NOT do such things like Google and Facebook do. I only provide modded Snapchat APK which does not have root detection.

I had this problem before. Please reinstall Snapchat, reboot your device, and it will work.
I hope you're ready for some legal contact from Snapchat. Appreciate your work, but you are probably going to get a cease and desist from them like every other dev who has repackaged their code before.
I did as you said still not working. Apperently they check for xposed mod and not root. My lg g3 rooted works well but my n6 with root + xposed doesn't.
Thread closed per OP request to prevent C&D order from snapchat
Any way to hide SuperSU to get Snapchat working? Tried disable in supersu and no luck.
Likewise. Is there a way to unroot on the Pixel XL? Then we could login to Snapchat and then re-root.

That's not how it works. Snapchat has integrated safetynet into their app, so there's no getting around it at this time.
u can use EX kernel i assume, he has the patch that keeps safetynet trigger on.

While I don't have the Pixel yet, I do have a rooted galaxy s7 edge with Snapchat. @kingdonomonkey01 was kind of correct. If you install Snapchat first, log in, and then root you should be able to still use Snapchat. Not sure why it works like that but that's how it works on the gs7 edge with our root method. Hopefully it's kind of the same for you guys.

What was your process? What kernel? I am using ElementalX kernel.
Got it to work. I simply removed root through SuperSU settings, installed snapchat and logged in, and then flashed boot-to-root.img.
Not sure if this helps, I'm on Sailfish, rooted and on Despair kernel. No issues with safety net or snapchat.
Not sure if this will work for the Pixel but it worked on my rooted nougat Nexus 6. Not sure if it was a safety net issue but snapchat still stopped me from logging in giving me a message of "Your login temporarily failed, please try again later”
1. get a root file manager
2. go to /vendor/lib/
3. Rename "liboemcrypto.so" to "liboemcrypto.so.bak"
4. reboot and snapchat should log in
5. change back the file name to liboemcrypto.so
hope this helps

Just wait....eventually you will. Same thing happened to me.
Odd, I've never had a problem with any banking apps or Snapchat. I've had Snapchat installed and logged in after a root as well as before rooting. Not a problem
had problems logging in while rooted, but with the new elemental x kernel and supersu sr2 i was able to login while rooted. YAY
I have never used or installed Majisk? I am on Pure Nexus with Elemental X latest kernel. I updated to the June build and somehow wiped my device so now I can't use Snapchat. Also looks like Netflix is blocked as well?
Hi everyone,
I'm curious if anyone has gotten the SuperSU root method running on this phone. I know that magisk exists but snapchat has problems with magisk for some reason so I would prefer to use SuperSU instead. I already have the latest twrp installed if that helps at all. Flashing the SuperSU zip doesn't seem to do anything so I'm hoping somebody has figured this out already.
Thanks,

just realized i put this in guides instead of questions and answers. Is there a way to move it? Serious noob here.
Do not think anyone has used SuperSU in a few years really. What is wrong with Snapchat and rooted with Magisk?
Snapchat wont get along with Supersu either. At least you could try to hide Magisk from Snapchat
I'm abit curious now, why would you prefer having supersu when magisk works the same way but even better?

it seems like supersu hasn't been updated in a couple years now, so you're absolutely correct. Snapchat keeps locking me out of my account for "using a third party app" even though I haven't been using a third party app. My guess is that it's detecting root somehow even when I have magisk hide enabled, magisk changed to manager, and xprivacylua restricting snapchat's access to files. I even tried using parallel space to copy snapchat into an isolated environment, but it doesn't even log in. It might have something to do with Oxygen OS, but I'm not sure. Although it's unlikely, I'm trying to see if there is a way to install SuperSU on this phone because I know snapchat works as it did on my old phone (if you log in before you root, of course). If it's not possible, I'll just have to figure something out.

You need to Magisk hide Snapchat. Go to menu(top left, 3 lines) click Magisk Hide. Scroll to Snapchat and check it. Clear data for Snapchat. Log back in.

Weird, never had an issue with Snapchat and was always rooted.
I used to have the same issue with snapchat until I started using the Magisk Beta versions, since then I haven't had that issue at all. Which version of Magisk are you using?

Get it up and running, create a backup with titanium and when you are on magisk, restore the data.
Thats how i used to do it when it wouldnt let me log in. But I havent had the issue for years with magisk. Ensure you are using the current and ensure you pass safety net.
