To create an account or login the device needs to pass safety net as far as I can remember. Something like Magisk is a good solution in case you login and out a lot. If not just fully unrooted, login then root and stay logged in.

I've been using casper for a few months and have been fine, if you use the root function I think they can't detect it.

Snapchat does need to pass safety net initially but people have reported that unrooting, signing into Snapchat and then rooting afterwards works as long as you stay signed in. The more complicated fix would be to use Magisk and PhilsSu instead of SuperSu. That combination is the only way to pass safety net currently that I know of.

I basically just used common uninstall root and login

Use magisk and search and flash universal safety net fix beta 5 and it will be alright.

Is Galaxy S4 i9505 worth rooting??

Hey guys, i am currently on Stock 5.0.1 and i always think android 6.0 marshmallow will come to the galaxy s4. i also think that something might go wrong in the rooting process and then my phone will not work... and it will be broken...
can anyone persuade me to root my phone?? i have rooted my old galaxy s3 before, because that was on jellybean which is outdated.
https://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9506 I think the process is the same, but you must download the right .tar file from here: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
He asked for arguments on why he should root.
The advantage to rooting is the same on all phones.
You get the freedom to do whatever you want with it.
I, honestly, would feel very limited without root.
Thanks guys!
No mobile banking if you root (at least with my bank anyway). That's what is stopping me. I need my mobile banking app.
Other then that, no reason not to root.

You could bypass rooting checks on these kind of apps with RootCloak (Xposed required). - not all, just some
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Labs
Totally worth it, even just to debloat a stock ROM, and watch the battery time go up
Anything beyond that is a further bonus.
I would never use an unrooted phone
It is completrly worth it for the freedom of custom rom

I googled it before and (at the time) Barclays (my bank) was able to detect rooted devices, no matter what anyone did to try and hide it.

I SAID SOME, means that not all apps could be bypassed, because some apps (especially banking apps) use native hooking for detecting root access and it couldn't be prevented by any way.
Latest beta of RootCloak added support of native hooking in hope that it would support more apps...

Does Magisk / Systemless work with our root?

In short, Pokemon GO's new update is just taking a massive dump on it's rooted supporters and we can't play the game on the new update. Would our root be able to hide it and allow it to played on our phones with root, still?
Rooted s7 edge.... Pokémon go running strong. No issue. App is up to date.

Yeah I am, but I read somewhere that Magisk requires an unlocked bootloader, but I don't know if the Systemless portion is different.
Most people would say, forget the game, and keep root, but I'd like to keep both, as I've put a lot of time into the game to have this crappy company screw us like this...
If xposed and Pokémon is incredibly important to you I suggest trying the following. There's a work around for snap chat. Same scenario. You have to install and log into snap chat before installing xposed. Get it to build cache so it doesn't do the device check then install xposed. Profit. I'm not sure but it's worth a try.
I had it working then it ****ed my phone up couldn't get it again

The problem is that the new version of poGo is using the same SafetyNet check that Android Pay does to check for root.
Apparently, the only thing that works for this is Magisk (at the moment).
The latest Pokemon Go app is using SafetyNet checks, so this goes far beyond the Snapchat workarounds.
Ah. I wasn't aware don't have the update yet

So the question is can we flash magisk with flashf ire?
Or would something like rootcloak possibly work?
More and more every day I hate niansh*t and it feels like it's no different than if crapple themselves have made the app.

Root Cloak won't work. I tried that on 2 different Samsung phones :/
I'm on tekx rom and when I tried to unroot via SU my s7 edge would only boot into recovery... so I restored a backup.
It's awefully silly to keep rooted users from playing. Seems like they run out of ideas to find GPS spoofers lol
I have rooted my S7 Edge SM-G935F using chainfire-auto-root ODIN method
^ New Pokemon Go update does not work with this root method - I have used rootcloak from xposed - also does not work. You need to root using MAGISK so here is my question.
1. How do I unroot my phone that I rooted using ODIN Chainfire-Auto-Root file?
2. How do I root S7 Edge SM-G935F using "MAGISK" so i can play pokemon go after this new update?
has anybody tried rooting S7 Edge SM-G935F using MAGISK method yet? does it work? please reply and please give a guide or step by step i am a newb

I'm afraid I have to tell you that over on reddit the developer of magisk said that Samsung devices are only supported if they're on a "custom" kernel.
Although I don't know at which point a kernel stops being stock :/

So... You're using the NEW version with the buddy Pokemon and able to use Xposed/Joystick as well and... actually login!?!?
If so... How did you do it?
I'm curious as well. I had to reflash back to stock due to bootlooping so I'm a little more interested in this subject now that the icy plunge or returning to stock has already been made.

Unlocking Bootloader now trips SafetyNet

Its been reported that merely having an unlocked bootloader now trips safetynet. Google has officially turned their backs on developers and enthusiasts.
I never had a problem with xposed or magisk tripping safetynet; but an unlocked bootloader is by no means a security risk. So I'm not happy having to choose between snapchat and an unlocked bootloader.

Discuss.
Well RIP AP....
Pixel and now this, I guess Google is becoming Apple 2.0
can confirm, I have unrooted stock 7.0 as my primary on multirom and is tripping safetynet, no more AP for me I guess since I'm NOT locking the bootloader, nice play Google

IIRC chainfire DID warn us about this..saying if we keep trying to hide root, they'll keep trying to make it harder for us to do so.
Doing it to the pixel? Fine..but to a nexus phone? Kinda murders the whole selling point of Nexus.
Either way elgoog has been making some really odd decisions this past month or so.
I have an unlocked bootloader with everything stock and no root and I got past safety net for Pokemon Go.

Yeah, that one isn't a part of this as its not unlockable. I'm talking about the Google Pixel.
This f's people who just want to install the latest factory image too; non power users who don't root and just want the latest OS..considering you need an unlocked boot loader to flash the images.

Not if you side load the latest ota files posted the same day:good:
By the way, does re-locking bootloader wipe data or internal? Factory image page says that "Locking bootloader will wipe the data on some devices. ".
Pretty sure on the n6, we wipe everything on both unlock & relock.

You can still customize. You just can't do crap that you probably shouldn't be worrying about anyway. Android pay is a sham, since your credit card has an RF chip in it that works on the same scanner... but ONE FEWER companies get to track all your purchases when you use it since it leaves google out of the loop.
Indeed; also as long as you log into Snapchat once before you install root, it seems to continue to work after root / magisk installation.
I'm on 7.0 stock, rooted and unlocked bootloader and snapchat works fine.

Amen.
I wonder what the hook is that it uses to check if the bootloader is locked...? It *must* go through the kernel, so maybe this is as simple as telling the kernel to LIE about it.
Well, that is simple conceptually, but not necessarily *easy* to implement.

Snapchat not working after root..

After root my Snapchat stopped working... I already tried magical autohide but dosent work. I selected from the app selection menu.

So I've had this problem before on my HTC One M8 and my Note 4. Snapchat used to look for xposed but now they switched it up to just look for su. If not it looks for the same thing that Android Pay looks for to check for a modified system.

does rooting phone make google pay not work?

I still haven't rooted my phone and installed a custom rom and it's been awhile since I've done that, being I came from OnePlus one.
If I root my phone will Google pay not work at terminals?

Magisk takes care of that. You should be okay with rooted and stock.
This is my first time using Magisk & systemless root. If I were to make system r/w, does that automatically cause SafetyNet to fail, making Google Pay unusable?

No.
If you are using Magisk SafetyNet should pass.
I'm just using a custom kernel and safety net passes. No Magisk only ElementalX
Google pay works for me with Magisk hide, safetynet passes.
If you unlock bootloader you must install Magisk to have Google pay and other payment apps working.
It's not only linked to root or not root, ASA your BL is unlocked your device doesn't meet the safety data integrity criteria for payment.

I rooted my 6T and have Magisk 17.3 on it. I used Magisk Hide on every App without the root Apps. Safety Net passes and Google Pay worked for me. Yesterday I used it for the first time in an Wasgau-Market in Germany and I was able to pay with it. Had a really funny look from the people behind me in line the Moment I hold my phone at the Terminal. Also the cashier said that she is wondering if it works. Was awasome!
