The last Magisk v22 update broke my phone. After repair, I don't want to use this app anymore. Especially since now it requires some tricks to run the phone and I want everything to run in the background as before. I don't need any modules or other garbage. Only the application that will ask me when it is needed to grant permissions. Any ideas?

My goal is to COMPLETELY get rid of any root files / SuperSu files that are located on my device without having to reformat. Couple months ago i managed to install SuperSu and gained root and I did my own cleanup of bloatware apps and whatnot. Since then I have deleted SuperSu by going into the settings of SuperSu and clicking on the "Clean Root" option but without doing the original boot files option. Doing so, the phone reboots, cleans up , deletes SuperSU and i no longer have root. This is great and all but just one problem reminds.....
I can no longer play Pokemon GO because of the newest update that came out yesterday since it checks for rooted devices. Is there a way to completely remove all the files that are associated with the root process / SuperSU so that I can play this game. I have tried to use the app "SafetyNet Helper" to check for Google's SafetyNet CTS tests and it fails after i tried uninstalling SuperSU. I have heard of the Magisk app but it looks like you need a unlocked bootloader to install it.
Is there a way to get my phone back to the original state without reformatting my phone through Odin. At the end of the day, yes, i would rather have a rooted device than to play Pokemon GO but say what you will but this game has gotten me out, walking around my town, being social and actually making friendships.
Thanks for any help in advance,

Hey,
phone unlocked/rooted with Magisk 17.3 - now 2 issues:
1. apps with root rights can not always use them. I have to start magisk app manually, close and reopen the app (e.g. SD Maid cleaning app) and then it has root rights again and works properly
a big problem seems to appear then on AFWall+, which is super slow for me. have to reopen especially instagram 3 times to get connection. I guess this is connected to the same issue with magisk, would be worth a try at least. anyone got an idea how I can fix the magisk issue?
2. apps that check for root (my online banking wont work on rooted phones) cant be tricked by the "magisk hide" function apparently. anyone got experience with that? what can i do?
thanks in advance guys :good:

Flash latest magisk
yup for everyone who missed it....we had to skip v18 but the new v19 seems to be fully compatible #magisk
There's no answer to asked questions before, So i might want to start this.
Is there any OLD SCHOOL SuperSU which work as granting Root Access instead of Magisk?
I don't like magisk, too many unused feature. I just want it like the old SuperSU back then, just granting root access and no other thing like magisk does.
Can the dev bring back the simplicity to where it was before?

If you are using an old school OS, then use SuperSU. But if you are using a current OS, especially 9 or 10, then your only option for root is Magisk. The complexity of modem rooting and then accessing many of the features people want from root is what Magisk focuses on.
If you don't care about certified play store, Google pay, bank or other apps that won't work, etc, then just flash Magisk in recovery (if your one of the lucky ones who have a working recovery), install the manager and ignore all of the "features". Unless you inadvertently give access or block access to an app, you may never need to open the manager.
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.
Hi, I use root in all my devices from a lot of time but now I'm 41yo and no more interested in this.
I use root "now only" for
1) call recording (BCR);
2) SwifthBackup;
3) Revanced.
So, call recorder seems to be installed also without root: just put apk in system app directory!
... but, how I can move an apk in system directory without root or twrp, and with locked bootloader?
SwifthBackup can work without root? I don't remember but I can search.
Revanced isn't a problem, I can use with microG.
----
Any help about my doubts?
I want try also because VPN not work, and after a months of email with support "seems" can be related to unlocked/rooted device.
I want just try.
Ty.
Without root, Swift Backup can backup app APK files, but not the app data. It does allow you to grant adb permissions through Shizuku, but I never figured out what [if anything] that allows it to do. I wasn't able to backup app data with ADB privelages.
I don't know the answer to the Call Recording issue.

I imagine that, once you move that .apk to the system app directory (while rooted), once you unroot, it should still stay there and probably be accessible; but I'm unsure whether successfully running it will be possible -- it depends on the call recording app and if the app requires root to run. If it doesn't and it simply needs root just to be inserted, then I imagine it would probably work if you unroot.
But I have never heard of this method of getting a mod or add-on to work by inserting it in the system app directory...it's fascinating...
Like you said, ReVanced doesn't necessarily need root to work; it just works better with it. Swift Backup will only in a basic way be able to back your device up without root access.
But if you are simply just trying to get a certain VPN to work -- and in the end you don't want to lose root -- you could try doing the numerous root-hiding methods. There are many games, banking apps, and streaming apps that won't work with root (without even giving you a warning that it's because of root detection sometimes) that, once you hide root successfully, are able to run it. It sounds like that could possibly be the case for your VPN.
There are these you can try (if you haven't yet); Zygisk Deny List, UniversalSafetyNetFix (Displax mod works best with P7P), Shamiko, HideMyApp, Magisk Delta, etc.
Also, please be aware (or reminded if you know already) that while unrooting will not wipe and reset your device, locking your bootloader requires wiping the device and you losing everything! You'll be able to get some stuff restored through Google One Backup/Sync, but most everything will need to be set back up and/or lost. And if all you are seeking is to get a VPN to work, I really highly doubt that the app/service goes so far as to detect if you have an unlocked bootloader; it seems there are some banking apps that go that far, but most apps out there don't go that far, and hearing a VPN does would be a first...
Good luck!
Just Google VPN. Do not work anymore from about two months and seems can be a root/unlocked issue.
Anyway, u're right. Ty so much.
