Bypass Root Detection? - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm hoping I am posting this in the right place but after installing Magisk on OOS11 I am unable to bypass Root detection on my banking apps, I have used Magisk Hide and this shows all okay with safetynet but using Root Beer it still detects SU binaries etc.
I thought it was somehow detecting the unlocked bootloader but after uninstalling Magisk and leaving the bootloader unlocked the apps function okay.
If anyone is able to help that would be great, many thanks!

Have you tried repackaging Magisk?

Hi, yes I tried that to but still detected su binaries etc.

have you try to use Xposed module: Root Cloak?
for some apps, I can successfully bypass the root detection.
sadly for my banking apps, it's just no use. somehow it still detect the root even the xposed. so I decided not to root my phone
but, I think it might work for some banking app.

Hi, thank you for the idea but still no luck, I'm using Starling Bank if anyone else is also having the same issue.

I use starling bank also, but magisk hide is working as it should
Also force stop the app, clear the data&cache, re add to magisk hide the try again
Ps - root beer will detect su binaries; that's it's purpose. But when you use magiskhide on root beer it hides them as expected.

Root breaks Snapchat login but once you're logged in, you can root and it will continue working. Unfortunately though, since you're already rooted, you can try to use something like RootCloak (no idea if that works with Snapchat) to hide the fact you're rooted or else unroot, login and then re-root.
@treela is correct.
I am on Nougat (NPJ25.93-14).
What I did - Rooted my phone using Magisk and enabled Magisk Hide.
Snapchat logs in even after rooting.

I'm confused what version of Xposed should I install? Arm, Arm64, or x86? I need Xposed before I get root cloak.
phh's superuser works fine with SnapChat. SuperSU does not in my experience.
Although, the foolproof way is to, on another device, install Snapchat, log in, THEN root, and install Titanium Backup and make a backup. After that, copy the files from your /storage/emulated/0/TitaniumBackup or whatever other directory (there should be a couple gzip files), and transfer those to an SDcard. On your new device, pop in the SD (or usb-otg), install Titanium Backup, transfer the files and then restore DATA ONLY. Just make a backup once and you shouldn't have to do it ever again.

Installing custom ROM without root issues

I used to have an LG G3 which I rooted and installed custom ROMs on. I stopped doing this for my LG G5 when my bank app and Pokemon Go started checking for root and would refuse to run on rooted devices.
I see that it is possible to install TWRP without rooting my LG G6.
Does this mean that I can install custom ROMs on my phone without the root detection causing me issues for these apps?
Thank you

Just use Magisk (Fulmics has it included in the aroma installer) and you can hide root to the apps with MagiskHide and pass the safetynet.

Thanks. I looked up Magisk. If this app would keep itself up-to-date that would be awesome.
I guess for now I'd rather not have to rely on Magisk, since I might have to wait for updates to it, when my my banking app updates it's safetynet code.

Didn't understand nothing. Magisk allows to hide root from the app you choose and doesn't break safetynet at all, and safetynet is not app-related but system-related so you should wait for updates only in case of android updates that break some function of magisk.

I assumed safteynet is built into the applications, such as my banking app. I thought that they can update safteynet within the app and thus break the hiding of root.

Don't know if it's built in Android or in the GServices but it's a google thing, not an app one =)
Still, with magisk your device could stop passing safety net any when Google decides to raise the standards. You would then have to wait for magisk to update and pass the safety net test again, or decide to (temporarily) uninstall magisk.

Root Galaxy S8 Exynos version

Hi All, i have backed up my handset, downloaded Odin, CF-Root and image files in preparation to root the S8 to remove bloatware but i have a question before i start.
The question is that i have a banking app installed which of course will not work after the root process so can i remove the root after debloating and then reinstall the banking app.
Cheers.
I guess there's no answer to this then !?
Why not use an app disabler instead of root if you just want to disable apps? I don't think removing root is as easy as it sounds, normally you just reinstall the firmware.
you can use magisk to hide the root. it worked ony my banking apps
Magisk will hide the root (although Samsung Health still reacted but I don't use that anyway ) and SuperSU has a hide feature as well. Not sure if the SuperSU one lets you do the app-by-app hide that Magisk does.
I never had any luck with the root-hiding apps/methods. The TIAA app complained one way or another, so I gave up.

Root, then unroot (Stock)

Hi.
I'm getting a G6 soon. Since I use it for my banking stuff, I wonder if this is possible:
- Unlock Bootloader
- Root stock rom
- Flash kernel without dm-verity, so that unlocked bootloader still passes safetynet cleanly (suggestions?)
- Modify a few files (navbar buttons, HOSTS file)
- Unroot, but leave BL unlocked, since otherwise the changes would be wiped
- Pass safetynet without the need of any hiding tools
Main reason being, I only need some minor changes, most important being adblocking by hosts file (doesn't need to be updated regulary), but I use the phone for banking stuff etc too, and my banking and PushTAN apps have some pretty nasty root detection features by now.
Magisk hide works simple without the needs of all this work.
That's not the point. In the past, the pushtan app suddenly stopped working twice, because they found a means to detect magisk. I can't risk suddenly being without the use of my banking apps, so I want to be able to have a clean system after the changes, with no trace of root left.
No. You, your bank app and safetynet always be playing catch-up with each other. Use some old random locked device for banking & keep your g6 for daily use if it's that critical.

Magisk with Finance Apps

Hello all, finally got my OnePlus 8Pro rooted using Magisk Canary (Latest one without separate manager app.) I pass the SafetyNet check and can access some of my banking apps but for some reason my E*Trade still sees the root status. I tried using Magisk Hide to well hide it but I still get the error., "This devices has been identified as a rooted devices, which is not supported by E*TRADE."
This is probably one of my most used apps and would love to know of a work-around besides unrooting the phone.
Thanks in advanced!
