Snapchat and root

Hi title says all,
If you root your device is it possible to use snapchat?
On my rooted samsung device i was gettting after a few days a temporary ban.
Thanks, ?

Snapchat should work fine. I had one time over this weekend i got banned for 12 hours but at the time my Magisk was crashing from updating without removing substratum theme.
As long as you enable magisk hide and pay attention to updates, you should be fine.

You can use Snapchat if you don't install Xposed, I do know that much. Xposed gives you a temp. ban. There might be a work-around, but if you don't need that, you're good to go anyways

Don't have OP yet , but with other devices I've found that enabling Hide on Magisk for Snapchat actually makes things worse
Do others using Magisk have to enable Hide to use Snapchat?

I have always hid Snapchat and Google Pay, along with other Google apps and never had an issue.

I have snapchat and I don't hide it from Magisk.

Follow these steps to use Snapchat with magisk -
1.) Update to latest Magisk stable build v20.0 - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.0/Magisk-v20.0.zip
2.) After updating magisk, Go to Magisk Manager > Magisk Hide and check/enable Snapchat and Google Services (all services have to be marked).
3.) Hide Magisk Manager by it self, go to Magisk Manager > Settings and "Hide Magisk Manager" so it will repack Magisk Manager with random name.
4.) Delete "busybox" binary from /system/xbin directory and install BusyBox module from Magisk Manager > Downloads.
5.) Clear data and cache of Snapchat, try to login this time, it will work for sure, if it doesn't, login to this and click unlock my account - https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/login?continue=https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/welcome
I have tried this myself and it works, my first main account was permanent banned on magisk canary build, After that I deleted that account and started out with fresh new account.
Tested on -
Samsung Galaxy S9+
Rom - Ultimate Rom v11.3
Magisk - v20.0 (Stable)
Kernel - ElementalX

You won't get a temp ban with xposed. I'm even using SnapTools (Snapchat modifications) along with xposed and I've been fine for about 3 months now.

Did you root with magisk?
If old version
https://xiaomiui.net/how-to-use-magisk-hide-5610/

In Magisk settings, enable Zygisk and Enforce denylist, restart device, go to magisk settings again > configure denylist and check apps you want to hide from root.

forum.xda-developers.com
here is a lengthy thread with another bank, where you can find many many suggestions on how to fix the problem.
i am having x3pro myself using the app mentioned there, but not using LOS18 A11 but Miui A12
with the newer magisk versions
- denylist active
- maybe try shamiko module (denylist enforce off)
- maybe try without shamiko (denylist enforce on)
- maybe magiskhide props config module
- universal safetynet fix
- magisk package renamed
- make sure to enable all options on your denylist application selection to hide all processes
- the application might get root info from google play services (GMS) or play store, where you should also delete cache after making changes and rebooting to see if your change does take effect.

Why don't you try ih8sn since you are on LineageOS.

Was this resolved? I am facing this issue myself at the moment with HDFC App.
ROM - Pixel experience 13 Plus
Device - OP7
Magisk v- 26.1
Universal Safety Net - 2.4.0
Deny List - enabled with many more apps
Example - Gpay, PhonePe, Paytm (All working fine)
YASNAC - Both checks passed

Question Company Portal (InTune) detects root - anyone else?

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.

Oneplus 7 pro
LineageOS 19.1 Nov 27th nightly build

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
3. Shamiko v0.5.1 (or higher)
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.)

Some apps disappeared on the Play Store after I rooted my phone.

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?

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.

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..
