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

No luck for me...
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
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

Ok asked her what she did. Mentioned updated YouTube vanced. And not sure of anything else.
Tried to follow ALL the methods for previous 6 roots and Gpay fixes and can't seem to find a method. Any ideas? I know this is a new phone so perhaps I have to wait, but just curious if there was somethign I may have missed. Followed this method:

From what I read (I could be wrong), Google made changes to their authentication in June 2022.

Not sure if step #1 did anything since I don't have MagiskHidePropsConfig configured in any special way. I think it was the modded safetynet fix that did the trick.

I use a Verizon MVNO as my carrier so i downloaded the factory image that's already available on Google. Extracted boot.img from there.
I believe that not all factory images are available yet so you may have to wait if you don't use Verizon or Verizon mvno. (Might be available on Monday.)

I got it to work. The one thing I did differently than some other guides is I changed my phone to a Pixel 4a under props config. Seems to work now and haven't had any issues.
Rooting this phone will be the same as every other Pixel phone. Of course rooting and keeping apps like banking and GPay is an ongoing battle between Google and developers. The requirement to root and use those apps will change as Google updates their security methods, but again that won't be a "per phone" issue, it will be the same methods for all rooted Pixel phones.
Any idea how this affects Felica models? (the ones sold in Japan)

That shouldn't be necessary, assuming you're not running some custom rom.
Anyway, I didn't do that, and google pay and wallet work fine on this phone using magisk with the stock android 13 rom.

Folks, the answer is RIGHT HERE.
The issue is NOT device fingerprints or authentication. Google has deprecated the SafetyNet API for the new Play Integrity API, which makes it impossible to spoof an evaluationType of MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY.
The solution, as @Lughnasadh shared, is the modified Universal SafetyNet FIx module shared by Displax, which forces the system to use the legacy SafetyNet attestation. This is only a temporary solution, as the time may eventually come when Google removes support for SafetyNet altogether from their apps. There is no permanent solution, nor will there ever be, because spoofing hardware backed device integrity is not possible due to hardware key attestation and the Android Trusted Execution Environment.
I have zero interest in rooting my phone, but because 5G/VoLTE/VoWiFi are not supported in my country (Slovakia) I had to root it. After successful root, passing SafetyNet and pretty much make everything to work as expected, my Company Portal is detecting root when running Teams and Outlook provisioned by my Company Portal despite having them in DenyList. Is there anyone who managed to pass this?
Thank you.
Happened to me as well. I used Shamiko magisk module and it's all good now.
@chaos193, did you use Riru along?
Or maybe even better question if you don't mind - what modules are you using to successfully pass SafetyNet and hide root?
Can you list them one by one, please?
Either use Shamiko or MagiskHidePropsConf to mask additional properties. I can confirm that InTune Company Portal works fine with SafetyNetFix + Shamiko

It's pretty much what @craigacgomez said. I used Shamiko 0.6 alongside LSposed zygisk release. I'm pretty sure LSposed is not needed but I have it just in case.

Quick question @chaos193 - I haven't updated Shamiko to 0.6 as the update states that it requires Magisk 25205+. Reckon that would be magisk canary? Or as you using 0.6 with Magisk stable?

I used it with magisk stable 25.2. I think we are all using magisk stable to root our phone right?
I have tried your suggestions, but still does not seem to work. Adding screenshots.
Can you help me, please? What is wrong with my setup?
Following steps work 100% - I had the same issue.
1. Use magisk canary.
2. Install universal safetynet fix MOD 2.0 from displax (Google for "displax github")
3. Use latest shamiko module
4. Activate zygisk
5. Don't enforce denylist
6. Go to denylist and chose all Microsoft apps and tick ALL options for each app.
7. Hide magisk app
I had issue with a specific banking app which detects root by most of the methods. I made it working by using shamiko + airfrozen which i was not really liking.
Now i wnded up with a forked project of magisk bu Husky called magisk delta which brought back magisk hide along with zygisk. With this i don't need shamiko, magiskpropshide, airfrozen or any modules for hiding the root from apps. Yes for safetynet you can use the modded veraion by D. Below is the link. If you are interested have a look at Magisk Delta by HuskyDG... I use the magisk delta canary builds...
I have made it work with first approach. I did a restart of the phone and it worked.
What I am wondering though is the following - I have used the VoLTE/VoWiFi/5G Magisk module, but I don't see the "HD" icon during the call, even though I can browse the internet (when I am not on WiFi). And despite 5G coverage of my current carrier in my area, I don't see 5G icon.
Is there any other module I am missing for this last piece of puzzle?
And last but not least. What scares me the most is that next OTA will completely screw me over after setting everything up. I wish there was a clear tutorial on how to OTA and keep the root without wiping everything out.

I'm not quite sure which VoLTE/VoWiFi/5G Magisk module you are referring to, but I believe enabling 5G requires modified mbn files specific to your country/region.
Regarding OTAs, there are two "How To" guides here with all the details you need.

This should be all that's needed to pass the compliance checks for Intune
1. Magisk (Zygisk mode)
2. SafetyNet v2.3.1-MOD_2.0

4. Magisk deny-list for the following apps (without Enforce deny-list)
a. Company Portal (Intune)b. Microsoft Authenticator (if you use it)c. Microsoft Defender (if you use it)5. Make sure you clear app data for the apps in the deny list after adding them to the deny list
Don't know about this specific app, but in the past I had issues with detection of an "unsecure" device, that was related to ADB debugging being enabled in developer settings...

Still doesn't work. Its weird because it worked for one night and the next morning it stopped.
UPDATE: its LSPosed I think. But this is the only way to force dark mode on some apps....
UPDATE 2: I disabled forced dark mode on all Microsoft apps in LSPosed plugin and its looking good so far...
UPDATE 3: Had a full day with not a single root detection notification. Looks solid!

one of the worse parts of it, if not the worst, is that nobody knows what it detects and there's no guide that applies to each and every device,
I tried in 3 devices, the exact same steps and files, etc, it worked on the 1st one, but on the other two.. no!
For all those who still got issues as another idea: Does Google Wallet work ? Is the device play protect certified ?
I ask because to get Wallet to work (and presumably other apps that rely on Safetynet and/or Play Protect certification) the additional step after #5 in the list above is: clear data for Google Play Services and Google Play Store, then reboot (your device will ask for Google backup configuration again).....
I got the same issue with an App called "SwissID". It recognizes magisk for some reason. All other Apps work (like banking, google wallet etc.)

It updated today, and now I can't open it and I keep getting error messages to say it keeps stopping.
I'd been holding off on the update because I knew there was something going on with the developer going to Google and all the root/hide stuff being disabled. Not sure how to roll back or what to do.

Can you uninstall Magisk and install the stable or last working canary app?

No clue, I'm not sure what its status is these days. That's why I was hesitant to update (I've also been knocking back the Android 12 system update for the same reason).

You can't uninstall the Magisk app; like from the App section in Settings or app info of the app? I'm not talking about the applied Magisk patched boot image.
Because I'm thinking you can just uninstall the Magisk app (as it's glitching and force closing), and try installing the stable or earlier canary builds...

I don't know how that would affect root, or Magisk hide, as I know a lot of that has been nuked since topjohnwu got hired at Google.
I also currently have Magisk hiding itself, which may make even an uninstall difficult if I even knew what to install over the top of it.

Uninstalling the Magisk Manager app would not affect root; you might not be able to run certain rooted apps properly without granting them root access, but that's because of not having the Magisk app to grant it.
I don't know about topjohnwu being hired and working for Google or what not, but Magisk is still being currently worked on and developed so it has not been "nuked"...
How is Magisk Manager hidden "itself" if you claim you attempt to run the app and it force-closes? The only way for Magisk Manager to "hide itself" is that it merely renames itself (to a name you can choose; default is "Settings") so it's not detected by any root detection. In any case, you should be able to find it in the Apps list in Settings/Apps, and uninstall it that way.
As to what to install over the top of it, installing the latest stable 25.2 would be the best idea -- the Magisk App does not need to match the version that is patched and flashed to your boot partition...

My understanding was that he got hired and they said he had to give it up, there was some negotiation and they let him continue working on it as long as Magisk Hide was removed as a feature.
But this isn't something that really interests me all that much, so I don't keep up with the news on it. I more just check in whenever I get a new phone in order to figure out how to root it.

Again, I ask, as you stated; you try to open it -- so you must know what name it's under then (even though it's hidden since it being hidden is just it hiding its name) -- and it keeps force closing or stopping... so why can't you find the app details and uninstall it?

Because I don't know how that will affect root/hide. I'm not sure what the status of Magisk is these days.

Magisk is pretty much the only way to root at this point -- I just learnt of another method KernelSU, but it seems pretty basic, especially in comparison to Magisk -- and the status of Magisk is that it is still very much active and actively developed; as it is the sole rooting method for numerous Android running devices, not just Pixels.
Your original issue is that Magisk Manager isn't working properly after updating and seems to be freezing/force-closing. The standard way of fixing that is to uninstall/remove the Magisk Manager app and re-install it (either the stable version or an earlier canary version that had worked previously).
Removing Magisk Manager app will NOT affect root and/or the patched boot partition. It WILL affect granting apps root access and will affect Magisk Hide (or Zygisk DenyList) -- but that will only last as far/long as rebooting and re-installing the Magisk Manager app. Once you re-install it, you will gain all of that back; it is only momentarily lost in between the uninstallation and re-installation.

Is there a dedicated Magisk thread? It's very difficult to find things on this forum, given how large it is.

The first one is the first, general Magisk thread (that is still active and currently discussed). The second is as it is stated in the headline -- "This is a discussion and help thread for the newer versions of Magisk".
Most likely this is where you should go for your issues -- and to see how actively developed it is currently being.
It's just as you said, you've been away from rooting/Magisk for a while; the newer version of Magisk contains/employs Zygisk -- "Zygisk is new generation Magisk hide...Zygisk is what the Magisk developers call running Magisk in the Zygote Process of Android. The Zygote Process is the first process that the OS starts when it boots up, ... Since zygote starts first after system, it can hide root without sending data to apps." (source) As such, that's why a new thread was created and why it is sub-titled as "The Age of Zygisk"...
*but there are many more methods of hiding root than Zygisk (or in conjunction with); Shamiko, Magisk Delta, HideMyApp, etc.
In the end, I'm sure they'll suggest what I've suggested to you in some fashion -- you'll have to uninstall the Magisk Manager (hidden or not), and re-install the stable or earlier canary versions. But it'll be better coming from the people in that thread...
Good luck!
