Android Pay and Root on 7.0

Running a custom kernel GoogyMax and 2.76 supersu with systemless install on final 7.0. Android pay detects modifications to system. Anyone else having trouble using Android Pay with root on 7.0? If there are fixes available, can someone point me in the right direction?

N literally just dropped.... Literally.
Check the Majisk thread to see if anyone there has it working.

Android Pay is not worth the effort to jump through hoops to get it to work with root.

That's a completely useless evaluation. There are no functional hoops to jump through at all right now. When/if someone does get it working through some hoops, it may be very easy or very hard. Until then, this doesn't mean jack ****.

That's your opinion. The steps to take AP to work with systemless root are far more complicated than it used to be.

If you disable SuperSU and reboot, AP works. It really depends what you're using root for. If you can turn it off, then awesome, if not then for now we are SOL

That doesn't work.

I was able to get it working with Magisk with the steps below:
1. Do the full unroot within SuperSu 2.76 setting
2. reboot and reflash stock boot.img (make sure you have TWRP 3.0.2-1 first) if you had flashed a modded boot.img or a kernel - you can extract this from the TWRP flashable OTA that is floating around
3. flash Magisk-V6.zip (download from Magisk thread)
4. flash phh-superuser-17-magisk.zip (download from Magisk thread)
5. reboot, install Magisk_Manager_1.2.apk (download from Magisk thread)
6. install Phh's Superuser app from the Play Store
7. open up Magisk Manager app any time you want to use pay and toggle root off - haven't confirmed payment yet, but it does pass the Safetynet Check
optional: reboot and flash custom kernel (I'm running ElementalX 3.04)

Help fixing root and installing Magisk (Nexus 6P)

Hello ^^
I am hoping that some of you guys can help me out of a little issue that i am having, i will try and explain what has happened up until now as best i can:
As many people know, the latest update to Pokemon GO, knocks out rooted users. I did not know this and updated last night, however, dispite running a custom ROM (PureNexus) and being rooted, my game loaded up like normal and let me play. It wasn't until i checked that my SuperSU that i found that root wasn't actually working at that time, so i re-flashed the latest Super SU and all was good, but, obviously, this knocked out Pokemon GO.
I read up on the trick of using Magisk to be able to turn off root and when was needed as to get the game to work, so i went about trying to get it working. I unrooted via Super SU and then rebooted and flashed the Magisk installer and PHH Superuser (as i heard this was best for compatability). After the phone rebooted i, installed the Magisk launcher and the PHH SU program from the Play Store, but when i opened any app that reuqited root, it was still telling me i wasn't rooted anymore, and thus, when i opened PGO, it worked.
I am kinda lost from here, i want to get my phone rooted again, and i want to get Magisk working so i can still enjoy PGO and some of my occasionally used apps that require root, so my questions are as follows:
1. Can you re-flash an SU over an old one to get root back, or do i need to fully un-root and root again?
2. If i was to re-flash SuperSU (with Magisk support), would this get me rooted again and allow me to flash Magisk as normal?
I am a little lost here, any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks to all in advance.

For magisk to work, you have to use it to root and unroot. From what I understand, it temporarily removes root system wide when you do this. Basically it's a more convenient way to root and unroot.

Android Police has an article on it right now. The instructions for installation and usage are correct.
The problem is probably related to a failure to make sure all traces of previous SuperSU installations are gone.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/09/11/guide-play-pokemon-go-0-37-rooted-android-magisk

For magisk to work it's best to fully unroot, maybe try unsu.zip,
Then have a 100% stock system and boot (kernel)
And before flashing magisk and phh, try the SafetyNet checker app in the playstore. (PoGO uses SafetyNet to check for root, same as Android Pay)
If you pass then go ahead and flash magisk, phh, and then phh app followed by magisk manager
In the magisk thread are all the instructions to follow

Magisk 8,SuperUser r277,SuperSu 2.78 SR1,xposed 86.6(magisk),xposed 86.2 (SuperSu)

Magisk v8 --> I haven't tested Magisk hide settings since I am not using SuperSu and suhide, but feel free to test and report
- Added Zenfone 2 Signature
- Point to init.aosp.rc
SuperUser r277 --> Only difference I can see between this and r272 is in hidesu. Users have reported SafetyNet still doesn't pass. I note last commit on github was 4 days ago. I'll compile again if there's any new/significant updates
superuser-r277-hidesu_x86_and fixed_for_ZF2(6.0_bootloader)_by_ameel.zip
- Compiled for x86
- Fixed install scripts
- Added Zenfone 2 Signature
superuser-r277-hidesu_x86_compiled_by_ameel.zip --> This does not work on Zenfone 2 (MM bootloader). It should work for 'regular' x86 bootloaders (e.g. Zenfone 2 running official CM13 on LP bootloader). (Also note I didn't fix the install script, so it might not actually work at all. If it doesn't let me know and I'll fix it)
- Compiled for x86
SuperSu 2.78 SR1 --> works with suhide 0.54 but is very sluggish and laggy on the Zenfone 2!
- Added Zenfone 2 Signature
Xposed 86.2 for Systemless SuperSu
- Forced oat 067
SuperUser r272 --> This contains Hidesu, which is as of time of this post the only su that passes SafetyNet
- Compiled for x86
- Fixed install scripts
- Added Zenfone 2 Signature
Magisk v7
- Added Zenfone 2 Signature
- Point to init.aosp.rc
Xposed 86.6 for Magisk (by topjohnwu)
- Forced oat 067
Note:
- Installing Magisk (even without installing xposed) causes SafetyNet to fail.
- Download and use at your own risk.
Usage:
The attached zip files need to be flashed from TWRP (or similar recovery)
VERY IMPORTANT: The Correct way to install ALL 3 is as follows:
1. Flash Magisk v7 and reboot
2. Flash SuperUser r272 and reboot
3. Flash Magisk modules
If you flash SuperUser r272 first, and flash Magisk, chances are your phone won't boot anymore (I haven't investigated why and won't bother for now).
Given that Magisk v7 fails SafetyNet even with SuperUser r272's hidesu, I wouldn't bother installing the 3 together. Either install SuperUser r272 for root that passes SafetyNet, or install Magisk or Xposed with existing root solutions (i.e. not SuperUser r272).

I was wondering the same. But I believe this is also useful for repetitive OTA flashes (no need to flash eXposed, Viper, BB, etc on every flash).

Dear @ameel,
Do you have any uninstaller of superUser r272??
Or can i use that one at phh superuser thread??
Thx..
Edited :
Trying flash SuperUser r272 only.. Done..
Checked SafetyNet Helper pass with green background..
Giving TB & Root Checker root acces..
Check SafetyNet Helper, it's failed with red background..
Reboot the phone and SafetyNet Helper pass again..
It's likely i must reboot the phone after giving superuser access to an app to pass SafetyNet..
Any help??
Did i do something wrong?..

Magisk v11.6 compatible with Droid Turbo Stock ROM

I can confirm that Magisk v11.6 installs and appears to function perfectly on my stock, unrooted, bootloader unlocked MCG24.251-5-5 device. Also, MagiskHide is not enabled by default, so keep this in mind if you're using a work device or any other situation where you might get in trouble for failing safetynet. That's all I know so far.
Go forth and Magisk!!!

MagicSU is included with the Magisk package. You can enable or disable it using the Magisk Manager app once it is installed.

Sorry, I was wrong about being able to disable it. There doesn't seem to be an option for that. But as long as Magisk Hide is enabled, Pokémon Go works fine for me.

More complicated question:
If I'm rooted via Computerfreek's debloated stock ROM, is there any point to running Magisk--and if so, how would I switch from SuperSU to MagicSU

The only advantage gained would be the ability to pass safetynet/use Android Pay/play pokemon go while rooted. To switch, uninstall SuperSU by selecting the full unroot option in the SuperSU app, then flash Magisk.

It's mostly for intellectual curiosity and maybe android pay.
But it didn't work--at least how I went about it.
I went into SuperSU and did a full unroot but did not restore the boot image (should I have?)
Then downloaded and flashed the latest 11.6 magisk
When the phone came back up, SU was gone but Magisk didn't re-root it. There were no options to do so.
Tried a second time and wiped caches but no change.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Magisk needs the OG boot image to work properly?

I installed it on stock MCG24.251-5-5 and Superuser is an option that appears in Magisk Manager. Yes, you should probably have the stock boot image before installing Magisk. I think the Magisk installer is designed to detect existing installations of SuperSU and not install its own superuser if it's detected, so if the full unroot didn't clean itself up properly for whatever reason, that might be why it didn't install with superuser.

It says:
...
-(Recommended) Restore your boot image back to stock
-Download the latest Magisk zip file
-If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+), first flash SuperSU in systemless mode
...
Which zip of super su should I flash therefore before flashing magisk zip?
I am currently, after restoring a backup, running your MGC stock with stock kernel, but I try installing bhb27s kernel now.
Ultimately I simply want to hide root+xPosed against my banking app...
€DIT: Wait, so SuperSUB may not be necessary, but is it safe to install magisk over bhb27s kernel?
I would do the following:
-Install newest v44 kernel from March, 12
-Reboot and look if Wi-Fi still works ...
-install Magisk 11.6
-Check if phone still works
-then install a working xposed
-Check if everything works
Is that correct or should I use another kernel version? I don't want another bootloop or damaged wifi^^

I don't see any problems with that plan, but you should know that xposed will insta-fail safetynet. If you want to hide modifications from anything that uses safetynet, xposed in any form is not an option. The only thing that works for me is Magisk 11.6's built in root, no xposed, no other modifications. With that, I can use Android Pay, Pokemon Go and my banking apps just fine as long as Magisk Hide is turned on. Android Pay and PoGo are blocked by default, but you need to make sure to go in and manually check the box next to every other app that you want to hide stuff from.
Also, if you insist on using SuperSU instead of the built in Magisk root (why???), you will also have to install the latest version of suhide (and I'm not positive that works anymore).

.I did not exactly know Super SU is just an option so I will not install it. Wish me luck
Also I hope there will be a way to hide xPosed however my banking app does not use SafetyNet, there is still hope, I don't care about Pokemon Go.
€DIT::: Everything working perfect - however safetynet fails when checking with Magisks own test. I guess it detects the Bootloader?
€DIT2::: Now after another reboot safetynet is successfully bypassed. My banking app still doesn't work - looks like they found a way that is even better than safetynet.

I just haven't had time to dig up another boot.img and flash it. I might revert back to SuperSU and come back to this later.

Try clearing the data for your banking app. Maybe it's set up so that once it fails, it never checks again. Also, clear cache/dalvik cache in TWRP if you haven't already. Also also, did you remember to block the banking app in magisk hide?

Switch to Magisk from Super SU

Hey guys,
I apologize in advance if this is somewhere on the forum (I coukdn't find anything on it.)
So last evening I decided to do the fllowing: unlock, install twrp, root and install a custom rom. I'm comeing from a Note 3 so just getting familar with everything for Nexus.
I completed the unlock, twrp install and root (supersu) with the nexus root toolkit and made a backup as well (not through twrp), and flashed the latest pure nexus rom (stock kernal).
I would like to switch over to magisk so I can get the benefits of using it. How would I go about doing so ?
Thanks !

If you want magisk then dirty flash your rom to get rid of magisk. After that flash the magisk zip from recovery then reboot and go to play store to update app. Why do you want magisk btw? I used it but drooped it for supersu as it made the splash screen (boot logo that said Google) stay for a while making boot time take a long time.

Ok so if I did the following would I be in the clear:
Full Wipe
Flash rom
Gapps
Elementalx kernal (want to try this kernal)
Magisk 12.0
Reboot
Install magisk manager
I'd like to have magisk to hide root, for things like netflix.
Also would it make any sense to run unsu while flashing everything else ?

No need to flash unsu. If Netflix is the only reason you are using magisk then you could just use apkmirror. Also, I heard that the app detects unlocked bootloaders. You should be good to wipe the rom and flash all the stuff you said.

I'll look into apkmirror. Forgot to mentioned I'd like to used android pay as well. Can apkmirror help with that ?

If you want android pay then you need magisk and need to hide magisk from it aswell as using the hide root settings. You also need to pass the SafetyNet check if you want to use android pay.

Ok thanks. So I will do everything I mentioned in the list as well as set magisk to hide in magisk manager settings ?

So just an update. Did the following :
flashed
Rom
Gapps
Magisk
ElementalX Kernal
Reboot
Installed Magisk Manager, enabled magisk hide and systemless host (for adaway) and rebooted. Safetynet passes in magisk manager. Went to play store, checked settings device certification and it's certified. Searched netflix, still not available. I'm guessing this has to do with the bootloader being unlocked ? Is there a way around this or will I have to just download the latest apk from apk mirror ?
Going to test the phone out for a few days to see what battery life is like with elementalx (I was averaging around 4.5 hrs ost with stock). If I don't get any better I will def test out your wakeblock.

I would like to hijack this thread a little bit as it is on the same topic as well with slight differences, sorry!
I got a stock 6P with unlocked bootloader and rooted with systemless SuperSU. Fiddled around with Magisk manager before, it will fail SafetyNet check.
How do I switch to phh superuser and using magisk? Will this pass SafetyNet check? The bootloader will still be unlocked....
My main intent is to be able to use Android Pay.

This thread is right up my alley. I just got a Nexus 6 ( XT1103 ) unlocked bootloader, rooted using a Windows toolkit (don't remember the name) and have twrp installed. I read about Magisk after trying to use Android pay without any luck. I would like to use Android pay and believe Magisk would let me be able to do so with still having use of root apps.
Is it possible to go from root to Magisk without loosing my data?

how to keep magisk from uninstalling during a reboot!!!!!!???!!!!!!
im new at thisxda stuff but i am 90 percent sure i figured out how to keep magisk from uninstalling after a reboot... YOU MAY NEED TO UNINSTALL MAGISK AND ALL MODULES BEFORE DOING THIS basically you have to also install an older version of supersu and it has to be an aroma installer and install as SYSTEM if also make a backup of the boot.img just incase you get bricked if you install the supersu app it will say su binary occupied but install should stay install supersu aroma (2.78v2) from https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3879523&d=1474248173 before and possibly after magisk install...only tested with magisk 16.2 beta channel and regular install not patched boot on Axon 7 with RR 8.1 weekly 6.0.0 20180225 (us variant) but should work on others probably...let me know how this goes for you
TRY AT OWN RISK I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVICE BOOTLOOPS OR BRICKS
If anyone has a better way to get magisk to hold after a few restarts please let me know
