A8 and Magisk 24 / Zygisk - Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018) Questions & Answers

I'm curious if anyone still using this phone has had any problems with Magisk 24. I don't know why I did it, but I just updated my Magisk the other day to the latest 24.3. Now I've lost the ability to hide root from some of my apps. I haven't been able to run Zygisk (bootloop when I try). And I have not been able to successfully downgrade Magisk. I'm still on Android 8, because I don't usually try to fix what isn't broken for me.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting Zygisk to run? Or is there a non-Zygisk alternative to getting my banking apps to work?

I'm not having any issues on pie so far, did you flash the no-verity-opt-encrypt and rmm bypass in twrp?

ROM / Safetynet help

I'm currently running NanoRom on my S6 - but as it's pre rooted and running Magisk 12 it fails safetynet check.
I'm looking for a ROM that's running marshmallow but before march security update and one that passes safetynet.
Looking to be able to play Pokémon Go and be able to hide root but after ROM suggestions...
Thanks

Try this module, either flash through TWRP or add the module in magisk.
If you've added through magisk make sure to reboot phone.
Unfortunately not working...

Must be a Rom related issue then, I'm on odexlite Rom, magisk 12 and using the module I linked and I pass fine.

SafetyNet Check in magisk failing

I have a rooted OP6 on 5.1.9. An app I want to use (blind) can somehow detect the fact that I'm rooted and won't let me use the app despite root being hidden from it in Magisk Hide. Upon investigating, I discovered my SafetyNet check in Magisk is failing.
It worked when I originally rooted it a few days ago. I do not have custom recovery or xposed.
Any ideas why safetynet check could be failing or how to go about troubleshooting it?

What version of Magisk did you flash? Flash Magisk 16.4 only. Older versions don't support the OnePlus 6 and flashing newer versions has caused many weird problems. Flash Magisk uninstaller, reboot to TWRP, then flash Magisk 16.4. Once it gets going it will tell you that it can update the Magisk version. Let it update that way. Flashing newer versions causes many weird problems bit letting it update always seems to work.
run the uninstaller magisk .zip then check if safety net passed, might be something unrelated?
im on 5.1.9 with SN passing with TWRP and Magisk

Google "Magisk uninstaller". Flash that file in TWRP. Then reboot to recovery. Then flash Magisk 16.4

Yes
So for me, the safety net check passes in the Magisk app but I am not able to access Google tez which tells me that my device is rooted or custom ROM has been changed. Using Magisk v 16.0
16.4... notice the 4
Just fyi I'm on 5.19 and using Magisk 16.0 and safety net passes just fine. Use Google pay daily and play store shows certified.
I hide everything Google related in magisk hide just to be sure

I know. What I meant is safety net passes everywhere except for Google Tez app. Don't know why!
I have attached the screenshots below. And I understand that I'm using Magisk 16.0

Do you have it hidden in Magisk? Google Pay works here if you hide it.
Okay, so I have uninstalled magisk, don't have root, and I still can't use google pay, install netflix, use my bank's app, etc.
No root, no magisk, no xposed, no custom recovery.
How can I figure out why all these apps won't work?

In playstore / settings are you uncertified? After unlocking bootloader I was and couldn't use Google pay. I flashed magisk and it was still uncertified so I cleared playstore app data. Now the phone says certified and Google pay works for me.
I suggest you flash 16.4 magisk and clear app data in playstore to see if you can get them working. Also you will need a different app than magisk manager to check safety net ATM as it will come back with "invalid response"

SafetyNet Fail

I installed edxposed to check if SafetyNet will pass, but unfortunately it failed. Then i removed the riru core and edXposed modules from magisk, removed the edXposed manager and restarted.
But still the SafetyNet is failing.
How to get the SafetyNet to pass again?
Try this. Mine failed too. Latest Magisk Canary. Enabled this and it passed.

Hi, by default the SafetyNet will pass with Magisk, my issue is post installation and uninstallation of edXposed. Can you verify this?
I am already having latest Canary build
I re installed the last update again using local update amd applied magisk, but still SafetyNet fails.
Some suggestions please
same issue here
Finally solved.
Just needed to clear the CACHE of play services

Hello all I'm having trouble getting SafetyNet to pass. Yesterday SafetyNet passed fine however today I am failing attestation (cts profile) and cannot understand what changed.
I believe the only app I installed was BusyBox from the play store. I also used the magisk debloater module to freeze some system apps (Facebook stuff).
I am running OOS 10.5.9IN21AA
Yesterday SafetyNet passed, today it fails. Would debloating the system cause this? Thanks to anyone who can share some insight to this.
I have tried clearing app cache for Google Play Services with no luck.
Edit:. I've managed to fix safety net by removing root and uninstalling magisk canary then installing magisk manager 7.5.1 and flashing magisk 20.4 via TWRP!

Question [Q] Magisk

I want to update to android 12 but hate to reinstall apps. But do t want to root permanently. So my plan is install magisk, make backup with titanium. Install 12, magisk restore and unnistal magisk.
Did anyone tried this? Does it pass safetynet after unninstalling magisk like without it?

A7160 (Chinese, Exynos chipset) - Magisk downgrade / TWRP request

I rooted my A7160 last year using Magisk only, no TWRP, since I couldn't find TWRP for the Exynos chipset. A couple days ago I dumbly let Magsik update to v22.1, which removed Magisk Hide, an essential for me. I want to downgrade Magisk, but haven't yet found a way to do so without TWRP.
First, does anyone know of a way to downgrade Magisk without TWRP? I've tried restoring my Titanium Backup of Manager, but that prompts me to download and install the full Magisk, which will leave me with the new Magisk. I also tried fresh install of the 7.5.1 Magisk Manager app, which only lets me install 22.1.
Second, is there any work on or anyone willing to work on TWRP or other custom recovery for the Exynos chipset (A7160)?
Third, is there any other way to hide root? A brief search did not yield anything promising yet.
Thanks in advance!

FYI Update for others' reference: I got what I needed with Zygisk and DenyList, so should be OK without downgrading. If I need to downgrade, I realized an option that may work: re-flashing the previously-used patched boot.img.
