Ridiculous root blocking apps somehow seeing past Magisk Hide?

Hey everyone, I had ADT in my shop earlier today installing a security system. It comes with an app they call ADT Pulse which lets me arm/disarm/receive alerts/update profiles/all the usual stuff you'd expect. The problem is for some ridiculous reason it's checking for root and I don't know why but Magisk Hide isn't able to hide it.
Are there any other options I have on this one? (attached a couple screenshots)
Thanks everyone.

Does your phone pass safetynet? If so, it could be detecting magisk which you could repackage to a random name

Are you running a custom kernel with the unlocked bootloader flag patched ?

While you certainly can post for help here, you're probably better off posting in the Magisk General Support Discussion thread. The most basic of questions is whether you're passing SafetyNet.

i had an app that magisk hide wasn't working with (i think it was concur or thinkorswim or an auth/2step app). also have patched kernel (flash 1.06) and passing safety net
i added the following to magisk hide and it started working. don't know which one did the trick, just added several to try, but haven't experienced any problems in over a month so i left em all added
android services library
android shared library
android_auto_generated_rro_....
chrome
come.google.android.gms.setup
device configuration
google connectivity services
google partner setup
google services framework
google support services
intent filter verification service
keep
key chain

Hey everyone sorry I wasn't getting alerts that there were responses here.
Magisk says:
SafetyNet Check Success
ctsProfile: true
basicIntegrity: true
I am not running a custom kernel.

When I read this I remembered seeing a setting in Magisk to repackage itself so I went in and did that without expecting it to be that easy of a fix. Turned out that it was!
Problem solved, many thanks as always for the input here.

MobileIron / Banking apps with Xposed and Root

Hello everyone I currently have an issue to install some banking apps and MobileIron.
I cant use google pay, postfinance TWINT and Mobileiron (because of root getting detected or not passing safetynet or xposed.)
I am not passing Safetynet unless I check "only use core functions" in magisk.
I am hiding MobileIron with MagiskHide and I am also hiding Xposed Installer from MobileIron with suhide.
I already tried having another app block root and xposed detection for MobileIron (uncheck)
What can I do to get it to work?
Please don't tell me to just "unroot" or go back to stock.
Have a great day!

Uninstall xposed , Nothing else i can say

I now the issue well with Postfinance Twint on my rooted Samsung Galaxy S5.
Uninstalling xposed will show no effect, because your phone is locked with a root detection. The only solution I've found was to install the old version 1.1.16.0, the last version before root detecting. This works fine for me (except the QR-Scanner which shows "Error 13: The Scandit SDK license validation failed", but you can use the code input instead).
If someone knows a better solution: post it!

Reading this I stopped my thoughts about rooting. I'm using many banking apps, most of all SEQR for nfc payments. I see myself running into problems getting my finance apps to work once rooted...

did you try "Hide Magisk Manager" option in Magisk Manager?
maybe your bank app is looking for Magisk Manager package too.
I'm not using app that you mention but you can try .

No problems with new version 2.0.20.0 (PostFinance Twint) on rooted Samsung Galaxy S5

I had a similar problem with my banking app. I solved it by installing island app. It basically creates an "island" where you can separate specific apps from the rest of your phone apps. When I put my banking app in the island it worked perfectly (also used magisk hide).
You'll have two versions of the same app when you do this. Just remember to always run the island version of the app not the normal version. There will be a small icon indicating which is which.
Hope it works with you!

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?

Hmm, I'm running the magisk xXx ROM and google pay is completely debloated/removed. when I get a spare half hour I might try removing the xXx module and flashing back to stock and following the advice in that thread. I'll let you know how it goes

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

Safety net ,Multiple fails. List of what I tried and no luck so far.

My daughter got a new phone, after struggling with bootloops and magisk issues. Finally got everything working correctly.
But,
I got root to go fine, only thing is she has had location issues. Google maps, other GPS or location services did not work.
So I uninstalled xprivacylua and seems like services came back, looks like I wasn't hiding anything on it anyways. Or I don't remember what it was.
So instead of reinstalling xprivacylua I decided to look for different answers .
Maybe some other solutions.
Here is a list of apps and modules that are installed. I think some of them overlapped and are kind of messed up. To many that my head is spinning.
Magisk
23.0 (23000)
Magiskhide Props Config.
Riru
Riru LS exposed (Tried switching back and forth to edxposed)
Systemless Hosts
Universal Safetynet fix 1.1.2. (Tried different versions)
LS Esposed one module,
Hiddencore module (enabled Google services Framework and google play services)
Also cleared Data and Cache on google play store.
Rebooted every time
Always safety net failure.
I know its a lot to take in , and do appreciate any feedback or help on this issue.

Is it an 8T? Are you running stock OOS with magisk?
In that case all you need to pass safteynet should be Magisk 23 with magisk hide activated. No need to bother with Magisk hide propconfig, or edexposed or anything.
If you are running a custom rom it is a different matter

I have magisk 23 and magisk hide is active on all google play services, but it still fails.
Its 8t with stock rom.
I think this is why its a little confusing since on my stock 7 pro I have google play services and only android.gms, and android gms unstable hidden and it works fine.
There is not a custom recovery on either of these phones.

Magisk and magisk hide works fine for me, so don't know what to say.
Perhaps try to uninstall Riru and exposed to make sure that they aren't triggering safety net?

You have to get termux. Get su superuser permissions then type props a menu will load press 2 then select yes to change device name then y again to reboot then it should pass safety net

Nope.. Terminal Emulator is actually recommended. With Termux, you are required to use root access for props to work.
with Terminal Emulator, you can just type:
props
and then it'll load. no "su" necessary. That's termux. I've had some issues that these people are talking about with my OnePlus 8T (KB2005, unlocked completely).. I'll try Termux just to rule this out, but this is highly doubtful as to whether or not safetynet passes based on this--it's attempting to modify the same values. Anyway, when I unlocked that bootloader on a stock rom, CTS Profile started showing as false. So I did get the stock on there correctly and it initially passed with a LOCKED bootloader. There's an alpha TWRP that you can actually flash if you want. There's a couple others where you can only boot it.. there's a lot of "only's" here.. and I couldn't get it going with any of the apps mentioned, including ditching EdXposed and deciding to try LSPosed, but that + XPrivacyLau didnt seem to help me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. From what I can tell I've done everything right and I've got quite a bit of experience attempting/doing this. Sometimes Device SImulation and forced BASIC ATTESTATION can be a lifesaver.
On my OnePlus 6T, I don't have this problem.. then again it's on Android 10. I can't even get a proper root explorer for Android 11. I seriously can't stand what they did to Android 11.. it's so ridiculous how many apps are now incompatible. Root Explorer Pro was possibly the best Root File Manager I've ever used and I've used it since day 1.
Anyway, I'm gonna give all of this a shot in different order.. and this time I'll see if Magisk can do the trick (last time it was on some different firmware and i just now was able to get it going by flashing via Fastboot in Linux). It's the manual way (payload dumper) as opposed to MSMDownloadTool -- which could be used via a VM.. and maybe even better than using Windows tools where you literally have no idea what you're actually doing. I'm just saying. Android is a linux distro, technically.. and we're trying to use just basic root apps for Android 11, and they don't seem to work.. it's insane. They did something with the partitions and it's apparently having issues even mounting R/W even with Magisk giving it root permissions. Btw, Magisk Canary is now outdated, as far as I can tell? Or it's just nowhere to be found when it comes to versions. Either way, I have tried multiple. So I'll try again in a different order.
Sorry for the long post. I've just had it. I've been working on this for a WEEK non stop.. 5-6 days and this is the first sign of progress (reverting via fastboot via Linux, which is the same thing as the MSMDownloadTool ultimately... without the hassle of finding it)
Let me know if there's anything else.. cause I've tried just about everything out there. Remember, for me, so far... unlocked bootloader = CTS Profile failure.. but locked bootloader + stock rom? Passed. I don't know. Before it wasn't passing with a stock rom that came with it so that drove me nuts and made no sense, hence me saying "progress" ... heh. Anyway.. Please let me know if you guys do find anything that works for it. I'm at my wits end. There's basically almost zero support for the 8T but plenty for the 8 and 8 Pro. So that also gets on my nerves. Sorry, once again, for this really long post. Some of it is just venting and I'll update if I get somewhere with it.

.. and now this morning after installing magisk, by just booting twrp (not flashing, but booting) and then using LSPosed/XPrivacyLua (I installed MagiskProps too but I barely did anything aside from pick a fingerprint) --- and it passed? WHAT?
I'm gonna look into this, but I'm not complaining. Let's see if I can find good Android 11 apps for actually browsing the system and being able to r/w any elusive partitions -- wasn't working well with Android 11 before. Not sure if that's around with a simple design anymore. Root Explorer Pro was king of that. Then Android 11 stepped in. I still have to install Lucky Patcher, if it will even work as a module for LSPosed. (Yes, I'm one of those idiots) -- I fully expect it to fail with that but I might be pleasantly surprised. Who knows. So, we'll just call this mixed results. For now -- Passing somehow. I don't understand aside from LSPosed and XPrivLua.. maybe magiskprops. Not sure which one did what first to cause this to go the right direction.

All I can say is all I have is magisk props not the other 2 modules you speak of

Well this is super weird. I didnt see my daughter for 2 days and she said everything is working fine.
I did tons of reboots and other installs/uninstalls and nothing worked.
But now I do safety net check and it works fine.
I dont get it.
If I do have issues again I will post here and follow instructions.
Thank you for your time and help

Barclays App Not working anymore

Barclays App used to work just fine until about one week ago, when the latest version has been pushed. And they are now switching to an app-only authentication method (no more SMS, no more PINSentry, and definitely not possible through their website). So, if the app can't be used, I will have to either stop using root (which has been really helpful so far), or find a different bank which has an app that works (I believe it's very unlikely).
The Barclays App Version is: 2.73.2 , released in 16/02/2023
Specs:
OnePlus 7
Android 11 (OOS 11.0.2.1GM57BA)
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP
Rooted with Magisk (25.2):
magisk app hidden
Zygisk enabled
enforce deny list: Enabled (I tried with enabled and disabled)
Deny List:
ALL Google stuff (absolutely anything that had "google" in their name)
Phone (just for safety, I added everything related to phone and dialer)
Barclays App
Magisk Modules:
App Systemizer v17.3.1
Buybox for Android NDK v1.3.4.1
Debloater (Terminal Emulator) v17.3.3
Disable Screenshot Camera Sounds v1.4
Energized Protection v1.3.5
Magisk Hide Props Config v6.12
OnePlus 7 Volume Booster Mod v2
OOS11 Debloater v7
Shamiko v0.6
Systemless Hosts 1.0 (Magisk)
Universal SafetyNet Fix (kdrag0n, modded by Displax) v2.3.1
Play Integrity API Checker:
device integrity: YES
basic integrity: YES
strong integrity: NO
What is happening:
Barclays App is starting
It prompts for registration (asks to set up a PIN)
Throws Error 00006 (which, after some research, seems to be related to Root)
What I did:
Looked for TWRP folder to delete it (I couldn't find it, perhaps I deleted it in the past, however if you can point me to all possible locations where it could be, I'd greatly appreciate it)
Tried both Shamiko and Universal SafetyNet Fix
Deleted storage, cache, from google, barclays, reboot, even uninstalled and reinstalled apps, all the works...
I tried with both Enforce Deny List Enabled and Disabled
​Nothing of the above helped with making Barclays App work. Any Suggestions?​

Best option atm is use the last version of the Barclays app which still worked (2.72.2) and disable auto update.

Any official way to get the 2.27.2 version? Obviously, because is a banking app, I don't trust mirrors and unofficial repos.
Thanks.

That is the one I used. I understand your concerns, I was in the same boat before I downloaded it.. But I really need the app working myself. Worked fine though..
