Some apps disappeared on the Play Store after I rooted my phone. - General Questions and Answers

When I first rooted my phone, everything was fine but after a few days some apps started showing up as "This app won't work on your device"
It wouldn't be a problem since I can just download the APK's, but I need to use the Revolut app, it is only available as a mobile app and when you don't install it from the Play store, it just doesn't work.
Can anyone show me a workaround for this?
Maybe a way to trick play store into letting me download all the apps as usual
or a way to trick the app into thinking it's been installed from the play store.
I thought about locking the bootloader again (OEM) but it'll wipe all data, and I don't want that. Because it's been a few months since I rooted my phone and I have a lot of data.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S10E - SM-G970F if this info means anything.

hmm, try unrooting it, install all apps you need, and then re-root it again.

you must pass safetynet as well as play integrity api in order for the apps to reappear. You can check this status by downloading the application YASNAC for safetynet status and Play Integrity API checker for checking play integrity status.
If your using magisk then you can flash safetynetfix module from here.
Flashing it should make the Basic integrity and cts profile check from False to true in yasnac
It should also turn Basic Integrity and Device Integrity from a Cross to a Tick
Strong integrity will always fail for rooted users. so forget abt that
Then go to apps > find playstore > storage > clear data
Open playstore again and you'll see an outdated UI dont worry it'll restore on the next app opening
in playstore then tap on your profile picture at the top right then go to settings. Scroll down and see if the device is play protect certified.
If it is the apps should reappear.
This is way too overkill tbh. you could just install Aurora store and call it a day since its litt playstore without accounts and stuff.

Yes but if I install it from the Aurora store I won't be able to use Revolut probably.
Also I installed the module, and though the YASNAC check has 2 ticks, the Play Integrity checker says failed on "Device integrity" and "strong integrity." What do i do then?

Downloaded the firmware, and changed it using magisk, flashed it using ODIN.
It's Magisk 25.2
Zygisk: Yes
Ramdisk: No
But I also have the "Hide Magisk" option, and Systemless Hosts module

I also passed the check after the 25th reboot. It took some time to adjust I guess.
But I cannot hide my magisk launcher, it gets detected by Revolut. Welp

Actually there is a way to fix that as well.
First of all go to magisk then press the gear icon on top right then select Hide the Magisk app. Allow it to install unknown apps. Give it a good name Let it do its work. do not go to home or anywhere while it is reinstalling the apk as something else
Second of all download shamiko from here.
First make sure you have enforce denylist disabled in the magisk's settings. Yep disabled. if it is enabled toggle it off
Then flash shamiko and reboot. Now once you boot back into the system. Open magisk again (or the new reinstalled renamed magisk app) and go to settings and then go to configure denylist. Now find your app and press the checkbox
Now see if it bypasses the root detection. if not then clear all your apps in your recents and try again. This trick always helps to get around apps with root checks.

Just noticed since you have magisk hide your either using magisk delta or an older version of magisk. I guess you could just use magisk hide but incase that isnt working the method above is the way to go.

HDFC Bank app - app doesn't support rooted devices

Recently rooted my op6
Problem - HDFC Bank app is not starting ..stating that app doesn't support rooted devices.
I tried using magisk hide on latest version but no luck
Please guide
Have you repackaged magisk manager ? You can do it in the settings. Magisk manager will be repackaged so those apps won't detect it.
If that doesn't help try to hide Google services as well.

Open Magisk Manager App.
Go to Settings in MM App, select repack/hide magisk manager and wait for download/installation.
Open the new Magisk App and select Magisk Hide and Hide your banking app.
Just reboot to make sure everything is fine and try to open your banking app. That's it.

I managed to get it working by using following steps:
1. Uninstall Hdfc App.
2. Repack Magisk Manager with different name.
3. opened newly repacked magisk, let it install update.
4. Restart phone.
5. Install Hdfc app.
6. Add Hdfc app in magisk hide.
I worked like charm. after this Citi App, Yono as well started working.
My advice: First clear cache and data of apps that detect root. Got to Magisk and repack it ( options/general), now hide apps in magisk hide. After that install safetypatch in magisk and reboot phone. You should be all done. This is working with every app I've tried. (bank, snapchat, even some kind of electronic ID app)
Enjoy
Not working. Followed all tips in the thread till here. May b all are false claims for likes I guess. No real working solution.
I tried everything listed in this thread but nothing worked. Devices is google certified, passes safety net, repacked magisk to hide it, also included banking app and google framework in magisk hide list but did not work. HDFC developers seems smart to detect root. Can any one help me out?

Question Safety Net Failure

I'm on latest Firmware Rooted Using Magisk. Safety net failure even after Trying every fix modules hide options and what not. Kindly help.
It appears to be an issue with the newest release of the Magisk (the patch, not the app).
I can confirm mine was passing until installing an update to Magisk. After booting, it failed with or without the fix.
Found a fix on a telegram page, give full credits to modulesrepo and TeamFiles for finding this method.
-- Open Magisk and Flash Riru Core, But do not reboot.
-- Go back and flash Lsposed in magisk & reboot your device.
-- Now install XPrivacyLua apk
-- Open Lsposed and go to modules section and choose XPrivacyLua from there.
-- Select system framework, Settings storage and Google Play services there.(Uncheck the system apps from hide section settings for Play services to show up)
-- Reboot your device
-- Open XPrivacyLua and search google play services, click drop down menu in left of play services and tick 'use tracking' as shown in the screenshot.
-- Tick 'use tracking' on banking apps too and clear data of them after ticking
-- Now clear play services and play store data through your phone's settings.
-- Hide magisk and change name of magisk
-- Your Safetynet Should Pass Now!
Came across that a few days ago, but it seemed excessive.

I kept getting a failure error as well but now it's all good follow the instructions and links from this video. You don't have to follow the entire instructions you can skip to the part for the magisk safety net module and info

If no other option comes up, I will go with the guide with Riru.
It's a huge risk tbh, because ROG 5 doesn't have TWRP yet to revert if anything goes bad.

The procedure that you must follow is first to hide the specific apps and also google play services, then force close them, clear cache and data.
Then it all work fine. Tried this with gpay (that is more likely to detect root than any 3rd party banking app ).

Usually, this way works.
First, you magisk hide these apps (banking apps, google play, google play services, google framework, etc), then you force close them, clear cache, clear data, then you setup again these apps.
I forgot to mention, that you need to also hide the magisk app itself (it gives you the option). You give it a diferrent name, I personally leave it as "settings".

Bypass SafetyNet Attestation

I'm trying to bypass the SafetyNet chore by using MagiskHide and tools like this one.
I have yet to have success.
I have read lots of information about the topic, but most seems irrelevant and obsolete.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction of solving this issue?
Thank you.

Of course, I have that installed and working according to tutorials, already...
Still, not working.
"Fixed" it by appending `LEGACY_MIFARE_READER=1` to `/system/vendor/etc/libnfc-nci.conf`.
However, this breaks my SIM service. Not sure, how those features are related, but here we are.
Another reboot seems to have fixed the SIM service issue.
Is this really it? Is the NFC problem really fixed after such a long time?
I cannot believe it.
I will test this for some time, just to be sure....
Did you force basic attestation in props?
I'm using ArrowOS 12 (ArrowOS 11 before that) and never had problems with SafetyNet.
Using latest Magisk, Zygisk and DenyList enabled. As for modules, I use GPay SQLite Fix and Universal SafetyNet fix. No other fixes or modules were necessary
if it's for banking apps, just check "Google services" on DenyList (first of all click the dots on right upper corner and check system apps). I was fighting that some time ago.
there's no need to install modules or do anything else, just check all apps U need on DenyList but the main app to deny is still "Google Services"

Enabled DenyList, checked Google Play Services and it stays checked. Checking Google Services Framework gets reverted each time I visit DenyList. There is no "Google services".
I found `*.gservices` as a sub-category of Google Services Framework. Disabled. Rebooted several times, after trying out multiple possibilities, but none did work. One time, even basic attestation was broken, which needed another reboot to fix.
no, sorry for my rush, it was about Google Play Services. I have never "denied" Google Services Framework.
what I would do is uninstall modules like "safetynet fix" and reboot to twrp, there's a fix for zygisk, install that one.
then reboot to system, clear all the data of an disobedient app, then go to Magisk DenyList and look for the app, check all services and search for Google Play Services again (I have to check it aftet every reboot somehow).
I just have had similar issue an hour ago with Revolut app because I crashed my system and had to dirty flash what swiped Magisk.
just be patient, it's not hard or complicated work

ok, then..
if You go in TWRP to "advanced" and then to "magisk" (sorry if the name isn't correct, I don't focus on names of options) and there are options like "install magisk 24..." or "uninstall magisk 24...", under that there are fixes, so You should find it, it's under "SafetyNet Fix". You need Zygisk, so get fix for Zygisk.
I was about the app that's not working, if You click on the bar with the name it will show its services. in standard Magisk denies only the main service of an app, but some apps require checking all of them.

I did not dare to go into TWRP, because I am not absolutely sure if data or storage encryption works perfectly fine with TWRP on Android 11. I don't want to boot into TWRP and have everything encrypted and therefore unusable.
I did so many flashes and some of them had this problem, but I cannot remember if it was because of a failed flash or because it actually did not work.
I also do not want to remove encryption in Android Security Settings every single time I visit TWRP.
Posts like the following also sound very concerning.
[FIXED] How to remove data encryption in TWRP
Users of TWRP 3.1 on Doogee Mix (including myself) faced the mammoth problem of an encrypted storage after unlocking the bootloader and flashing the custom recovery. This problem is not peculiar to the Doogee Mix, any other device with TWRP 3.1+...
forum.xda-developers.com
there's no need to remove encryption, nothing abiut that.
I just have changed MIUI to 13 today, didn't change anything on TWRP, just installed Magisk from TWRP and checked all the bank apps, GPay and Google Play Services

Barclays banking app (UK) with root

Hi All,
I have recently updated Barclays mobile app on my OnePlus 6 rooted running LOS 19 but the app today detected the root (probably the latest update enable that). So I have cleared the data and cache however I cannot go through the menu to access my account and I get error 00006 now.
I have magisk hide enabled and this has been working with Barclays and the other banking app for a year now (excluding Santander which detects the root anyway)
Do you have any suggestions, please?
I'm in the same boat. Magisk delta with zygisk and app hidden etc etc incl. deny list latest Barclays app still detects root. Have even tried deleting Fox folder, in case it starts seeing that recovery folder. Tried lastest canary build, still the same. Anyone had success with running the latest Barclays app rooted? Poco F3 user BTW, but the principles should be the same...
Do you know if removing the root (magisk) fixes the issue?

Nope, haven't tried yet... But i'm guessing after removing root and clearing app data it would work...

Actually, the app might still recognise custom rom. Can't face stock miui just over banking app. What a blow

Is there a way to hide also the unlocked bootloader? We won't know until we try it I guess. There is also a Reddit post where many people seem to have the same problem.
Keep an eye on that too until we find a solution.
Do you know where we could get the version of the app that still works with magisk? Is it possible to export the app? Maybe we can find someone with an old version and ask them to share the apk?

Hi,
I've found a temp fix for this for now.
Steps are as below:
1. Uninstall the current Barclays banking app.
2. Go to play store,settings,network settings and turn off 'auto update apps'
3. Download the old Barclays app from: https://barclays-bank-plc-banking.en.uptodown.com/android/download (it's legit)
4. Install the app.
5. Go into Majisk, settings, configure denylist and tick all Barclays options (may already be ticked, if this is the case ignore step 5)
6. Restart phone.
7. Open Barclays app and setup as you usually would.
Hopefully this works for you. Applist detector is even detecting I have the Majisk app (even though I have Shamiko and have hidden it) but the Barclays app still works as it's the previous version.

Not sure about hiding unlock BL, never looked into it. If you've used the linked 2.72.2 barclays app, as i have, be sure to disable auto update in google playstore
EDIT: just seen it in step 2!! however, i just selected do not auto update for that specific app, rather than all apps

Yes it does fix the issue. I've checked and now have a hard choice of either restore magisk needing BCR heavily.

Hiding unlocked bootloader most likely wouldn't help as just removing Magisk leaving bootloader unlocked makes Barclays app working perfectly. So they still just detect root and Magisk some other way. What was interesting was that when I removed Magisk and Barclays functionality was restored I run hidden Magisk app to restore Magisk. It asked to restore main Magisk app that I did. And even without restoring Magisk partition and rebooting Barclays stopped working having only Magisk app installed without root.

I'm in the same boat. Magisk delta with zygisk and app hidden etc etc incl. deny list latest Barclays app still detects root.

Try downloading an app called Ice Box and freeze Magisk with it.
That fixed the issue for the bank app I use.
See my replies here guys Post
All I've posted my notes on the reddit page above
Also I have a Santander account and I could never get this app working either!!!
Note this method still doesn't work on Santander!!

Followed steps exactly. Still root is detected

Thanks for replying back.
What issues did you get, ie FC, root detected etc..?
I'm going to keep trying on my phone and see if I can get this working
Ok guys, this method works 100%!!!
Test on my Samsung Note 8 (Android 10, Custom Rom)
Install this module:
GitHub - HuskyDG/MagiskHide at v1.6
Portable MagiskHide. Contribute to HuskyDG/MagiskHide development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
and wipe Barclays data, thats it!!!
Best to have Zygisk off and configure the denylist to get this working
Configure Magisk apps​
As Magisk app does not allow you to configure denylist when zygisk is off. You must toggle Zygisk on temprorily (not reboot) to configurate denylist and toggle Zygisk off after done.
Note that any modules that uses Zygisk will be disabled!!

I'd tried this with Zygisk off but then USNF had become off and device didn't pass Safetynet. Then with Zygisk on and this module on Barclays still showed 0006. Denylist was configured for Barclays and not enforced.

Try switching Zygisk on and off.
Reboot phone, wipe data and cache for play store and Barclays and try again mate

Well. Have to put thoroughly what exactly I meant been done.
1. Added Magiskhide module to Magisk and turned it on. Magisk was last stable 25.2
2. Uninstalled Barclays. Installed Barclays without running it yet.
3. Add Barclays to Denylist. Turn Zygisk off.
Reboot
4. Checked Safetynet with YASNAC. It failed. Checked modules page in Magisk - USNF was off apparently as Zygisk was off. YASNAC had been passed before all this attempts with this module when USNF was on.
4. Run Barclays - 0006.
5. Clear Barclays data. Turn Zygisk on in Magisk.
Reboot
6. YASNAC passed as USNF became on.
7. Run Barclays - 0006
And may I ask to give some light on what is meant that "it is better to keep Zygisk off". What does this "better" mean? Must be off? Then how do they mean to bypass Safetynet with USNF off?

Hi
By all means you can try my setup:
Modules enabled:
Magiskhide (by Husky)
Magiskhide Props Config
Systemless host
Magisk v25.2 hidden
Denylist has been configured and Zygisk switch is off.
In Denylist I have the following as blocked:
Google play store
Google play services
My bank app
Oysercard app
Please note I've messed around extensively trying to get this to work and a lot of stuff I've added and remove to test out, so some modules (or even apps on the denylist) may no longer need to be there.
Also on step 3, could you turn Zygisk on (the app will tell you to reboot to apply changes) but do not reboot yet!!!, then turn off Zygist then reboot your phone.
Once rebooted clear cache and data for play store and Barclays
Then try banking app again.
If this still doesn't work, you may have a module triggering Barclays to recognise you have root, in which case you may need to disable/remove said modules.
One prime culprit would be Lsposed, if you have this then remove this as well.
Also please note, taken from developers site:
Configure Magisk apps
As Magisk app does not allow you to configure denylist when zygisk is off. You must toggle Zygisk on temprorily (not reboot) to configurate denylist and toggle Zygisk off after done.
