Root issues - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on 6.0.1 and installed systemless root + busybox + TWRP recovery through the skipsoft tool.
Everything was working fine for a day or two.
I then wanted Xposed. So I installed xposed v79 arm64 and at first everything worked ok. Added gravitybox mm and started fiddling. Shortly root issues followed. Tasker somehow didn't acquire root, that's how I first noticed it. Nor did the "hibernate + lock" command in Greenify work which also requires root. Wondering wth is going on I went into supersu and it said the su binary cannot be found. No wonder root apps didn't work properly. Gravitybox still worked however but I assume this works at a lower level.
Everything worked fine until I got to the xposed part. Not sure if it was xposed or gravitybox that did it. Why is this happening and what can I do? I uninstalled gravitybox and now I have root again though supersu was VERY VERY slow in getting the list of root apps up in a way it never was before. Took minutes, but it did work and root apps function again. Other issues happened to: calculator fc for example.
Would I be better off with traditional root or what's up? I do have backups from before installing xposed thank god, so I'm not sitting in the **** here, but I'd sure like this all to work together.

This is just a long shot but if you have BusyBox install in su/bin try installing it into system/xbin and reboot. good luck.

yeah, I had some other apps that had some issues with BusyBox installed into su/bin but after reinstalling BB into system/xbin fixed it for me.

Oh, well not my issue then since they have been there all along it seems very sketchy too. It's as if it sometimes work at boot, sometimes not. Very weird. I don't know what it is but it must be some kind of combination.

Further analysis: some reboots it works, some it doesn't. Random weirdness surrounding root apps and also none-root apps. Calculator sometimes FC's and it seems all this is coming and going. Worse when Gravitybox is activated. I still have no clue what this is or what to do.

Xposed Marshmallow Help?

I have extensively searched the forums here for a solution, and haven't been able to find one. If someone knows how to fix this, or can try to help me, I would really appreciate it. I just updated my phone to Marshmallow, and everything is running great. I have SuperSU up and running, and TWRP installed. Everytime I try to install Xposed, my phone boots up, but once the boot finishes it just hangs on a black screen forever. The only way to get the device to boot is by flashing the Xposed uninstaller. I have tried disabling all of my Xposed modules in hopes that would fix the problem, but it did not. I am trying to flash the xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64.zip by the way. Does anyone know of a solution to this? Should I try to find and flash version 78? I've seen a bunch of people having no issues installing Xposed on Marshmallow, so I assume I am doing something wrong. I tried redownloading the file a few times too.
Thank you very much in advance for trying to assist me!! Happy Holidays everyone!
after flashing xposed, do you wipe both caches?. You also can try to install xposed application (apk) first and later flash xposed from twrp.

Thanks for your response. I tried wiping both caches before and after installing Xposed. I also tried it once with only wiping cache after. Each time, I already had the Xposed apk downloaded because I had Xposed up and running on Lollipop.
I'm running "xposed-v78-sdk23-arm64.zip" without issue on my MXPE on MM.

Just tried that version. Same issue, boot animation finishes, then it's just a black screen forever. I'm going to try uninstalling the Xposed app and then installing the framework and see if that works.
Just for kicks, I uninstalled xposed v78 and installed "xposed-v79-sdk23-arm64.zip". It's working great on my phone.
I would try again. Do a hard power down during the hang at the black screen (hold power button down for 10-20 seconds?) and reboot to see if that fixes thing.
Edit: I should note, I cleared all the cache (including Davlik) before and after the install of xposed.

Just wanted to let you know I got it to work. I had to uninstall the Xposed app, uninstall the framework, and then reinstall the framework and reinstall the app. I had a few modules mess me up and cause the black screen and I had to start all over a ton of times, but after hours and hours I finally seem to have everything working for now. Thank you for trying to help, I appreciate it!!
Can you please advise how to uninstall xposed framework? I'm trying to do it via xposed Uninstaller but no luck... Thx in advance for any help

I'm not sure, I currently am not using Xposed anymore. The only way I know is to use the uninstaller and to uninstall the app from your phone. I'm sorry if I can't be of more assistance :/

Do you have any modules installed? If you install Xposed and then install the app, everything should work. Certain modules may not be compatible and they may prevent your phone from booting. You may have to turn off all modules and then turn them on one at a time and see what causes your issue.

No modules, and even no installer app installed. Still black screen mm6.0.1 xstyle 1572 rooted and unlocked bl.
Possible Solution
I had the same problem on my moto, I ended up flashing version 86 of xposed framework and also updated the app to the alpha 4 version. After I did that I had to clear cache and then use root browser to change my xposed disabled file to another. After a long reboot I have xposed running again.

Xposed Causing Overlay Detected Bug?

Hey Guys...so i seem to have this bug whenever i install the xposed framework v86 sdk23 arm 64. everything works fine with the exception of allowing me to grant apps permissions in the settings. when i try to, i get a screen overlay detected error. i dont have twilight or a file manager installed. i know for sure its caused by xposed, because i've flashed 3 times today alone and am running stock rooted/debloated. everything works fine until i flash xposed, and if i flash the uninstaller, everything goes back to running as it should. has anyone ever experienced this? thanks in advance everyone.
answer found (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...y-detected-switched-off-t3425248#post67958599). I was searching for a few days, and this was posted yesterday, so please dont yell at me guys lol

Snapchat and Root

So, with Snapchat not working with anyone with a rooted device is there a workaround? Or do we have to wait until there is a work around? i've tried Xposed and some frameworks but that doesn't work either.
I only updated my phone today and haven't had an issue with Snapchat and root so I have no idea how long it's been going on for. Been looking across the internet and can't really come across anything solid so far, so apologies for another thread on the subject.
Sorry if this is the wrong area too.
Only solution I've found is us use the SuperSU app to uproot, then log in to SnapChat, then reroot.
If I unroot will that reset my phone or anything?
Once you do manage to log in, make a TB backup so you can restore the log-in in the future without having to unroot.
i can't log into Snapchat at all

snapchat and root are no problem the problem is that snapchat check if xposed is installed or not that's why it won't log in...snapchat don't work if xposed is installed...
uninstall xposed through twrp and log to snapchat after that re-install xposed twrp

I don't have Xpsoed installed at all, that's what i'm confused about .
You can login snapchat, but you have to install systemless supersu + systemless xposed +suhide + magisk7
I can get pass safetynet check (checked today)
What I ended up doing, which works, is I wiped my phone on TWRP, reinstalled my firmware (superman) chose not to install root/Xposed, downloaded/signed into Snapchat, then rooted my phone. Long winded but it works.
Backup your snapchat data from a unrooted phone. I used titanium and restore on rooted
Just use Casper instead of original snapchat app.

You are unable to sign into Snapchat if you have the Xposed Framework enabled or Rooted.
(Rooted has never been a issue with me)
But Xposed framework is normally the cause, Even if you used Xposed or not, If the framework is present you cannot Login.
Simple Open up Xposed App (If you installed Via Superman you have have enabled to option and installed it)
From there you have a option to uninstall.
Reboot and once booted back up, login. Once logged in use Titanium Backup to backup the App plus Data.
Reinstall Xposed Framework and you should still be logged into Snapchat.
If you ever have any issues, Delete the app and restore from your backup, you have no need to uninstall Xposed as the Data is restored from the app keeping you logged into the app

I have heard that just using suhide is enough to pass Snapchats new Root detection.
I have not tested as am still running the old version with Snaprefs

What option you used in SuperSU to unroot? I tried permanent unroot and it didnt work
Hello,
I've got a question about snapchat.
I'm sorry if im posting this in the wrong place, im new here!
I want to use snapchat 9.3.1.0 so i can use snapprefs.
I'm rooted and have xposed framework installed.
I am currently logged in in the newest snapchat version.
I made a backup of my snapchat with TB, deleted the new version of snapchat, installed snapchat 9.3.1.0, opened titanium backup and restored 'DATA ONLY'.
When i open snapchat, the app says: There are no snaps, and it says i've got no friends (which makes me sad). Any idea how i can fix this?
Thank you!
Lorenzo
It seems they recently changed things in an update. I have a rooted device with exposed, running superman rom. I used to just turn the switch off inside xposed, restart, login to snapchat, turn xposed back on and it was fine as long as I didn't log out. Now, none of that works.
My solution was to go to recovery, dirty flash my rom without root or xposed, login to snapchat, and go back and dirty flash again with root and xposed.
Way too much effort for snapchat, but it worked!

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.

Latest Magisk and SafetyNet on Stock N

Hello guys,
Please accept my apologies if this topic was asked/discussed in other threads. I was unable to find an answer to this question with my searches.
For a while now, I have noticed that Magisk fails SafetyNet on Nougat stock ROM. If my memory serves me, it started with v16.0 and now with beta ver. 16.2 the issue is still ongoing.
Has anyone found a way to pass SafetyNet for stock ROM?
P.S. I have noticed that in Magisk Manager settings, the option "Magisk Hide" disables itself after reboot, I assume something prevents it from working properly (???).
Thanks a lot in advance,
Catalin D

Better than no solution at all!
I can confirm the same results. I went ahead and tried all versions from 15.3 to 16.3 - only 15.3 works.
Unfortunately that version is lacking something for me at least... Have you been able to get modules working in 15.3?
They fail to install directly from Magisk Manager. When I try to do it manually in TWRP, I get no errors but the modules are not there when I boot back into the system.
There's clearly some problems we're having that other devices aren't... And the fact that these problems seem to be handled silently doesn't help.

I am also using 15.3 magisk with 5.5.5 manager and I have no issues. I have systemiser, debloater, busybox, greenify. the only mod that seems to be not working îs YouTube vanced. I uninstalled the system YouTube and the mod seems unable to install its version.

Works fine here w/ same Magisk & Manager.

there's an even easier fix. Usually Vanced (iYTBP) doesn't work because there are two installs of Youtube (on /system/app and on /data/app) and it only replaces the one in /system. The solution is to deactivate auto-updates, then use a file manager (i recommend root browser all the way) to delete the /data/app/com.google.youtube folder (or however it is called, but the one that has the youtube apk inside).
and of course reboot after that
Whatever the problem was, it seems to have been fixed in the beta released today. (version name 16.4 - version code 1642) Working great.
Looking at his (topjohnwu's) changelog, it seems he made a ton of structure changes and improvements regarding MagiskHide, so it's no surprise this got fixed in the process.
May Magisk and the Axon 7 live long and prosper!
