Hey everyone!
In the 6 years or so that I have been rooting/unlocking the BL, this thought has never crossed my mind, until now. Unfortunately, there are some apps I need to use that wont work with rooted phones. I think this is incredibly [email protected]*king dumb, but there is nothing I can do about that.
SO the question I have is there a way to disable the root/unroot the phone/make apps think the phone is unrooted for just a few mintues so I can use the app, then quickly put the root back? Any thoughts, insights, advice, etc. would be helpful.
Thanks!
Try "magisk"

I have magisk (it was part of the rom I use) but I have to be honest, I am not familiar with using it. I googled it a few times after installing the ROM, but couldn't see what it would do for me. Can you explain to me how to use it for this?

Actually I can't, I just think that it's your only option to be rooted without being detected. The op of this thread seems pretty straightforward: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Good luck.

hmm...I read through it, but don't see how...I'll play around with it a bit. Maybe in the meantime, someone else can tell me exactly what I need to do.

A. Hide root with magisk
1. open magisk manager, magisk hide
2. Select what apps you want to hide from root detection
3. Reboot
B. Unroot. Uninstall magisk
You can install magisk later for root

Has anyone tried Magisk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382) on the A7 yet? I'd love to be able to root and still have ability to use Android Pay.

Was wondering about this too. Not entirely confident about what things to reflash in case things go wrong otherwise wouldve tried this.
So just took a risk and tried it and the phh's SuperUser didn't provide root. Might have to do something with how the latest SuperSU doesn't work either?

I've tried it on my Moto X Play. Magisk and Xposed have no influence on Android Pay. But rooting (Phh's SU with Magisk) caused SafetyNet test turned red. It looks like Google suceeded to eliminate any coexistence between root and AP.

Did you try using AP or check with SafetyNet after flipping the switch in Magisk to show it as unrooted?

Just ran SafetyNet and reverted to unrooted after. As far as I know failing with SafetyNet means that AP won't work.

The whole point of this is that you flip the switch and you're temp unrooted for whatever duration you chose. 5min is default I think. If you didn't try that then you never really checked to see if it would work before dumping it.

Ok, thanks, I'll find the time to try it again. But temporally unroot with Chainfire superSU didn't help. I used superSU without Magisk though, it was systemless and it worked with AP in the beginning. Seems that AP checked only system changes then. It worked till recently when Google obviously cut off AP from rooted phones.

If you're running a custom ROM it may or may not work. Some are saying it does and others not. But if we're talking about the A7 here that'll be stock for now.

I'm using apps that require root, have the sd card fix done so EVERYTHING can use the sd card, file managers can't usually move or delete files on unrooted device, use clocksync so I have accurate time and have titanium backup installed. Haven't played with titanium backup but everything else works brilliantly...
Used Root Checker by joeykrim and it confirmed root...
It is phh's SuperUser app on playstore. Seems to work fine...

Are there any new reports on this subject? I have been able to successfully install Magisk and PHH SU on a Nexus 6P , but using the identical procedure on my Axon 7 (U) does not work. I am puzzled.
Magisk installs fine (busybox is detected) on A2017U but root + Magisk does not work. Going to keep testing some options and methods and I'll let you know.
SuperSU fails during install after extract.
phh-superuser install completes but no root.

No luck so far, my gut thinks it's an issue with the kernel / boot.img patch. Sorry guys I'm going to keep banging on this one but it might take me a bit as I don't have a linux box up right now. Can someone that has a Chinese model get me a copy of the patched boot.img?

that's my thought too, since magisk seems not to create a log in /cache as it should and doesn't reaveal itself via logcat it looks like it doesn't realy get executed.
The guys in the common magisk were not realy able to help, guess we have to dig more into the init.rc script / boot.img patch. But might be that it get's fixed with v7 anyway, hope @topjohnwu is able to get it done quickly (or maybe has some ideas he how to debug it more, i didn't get an answer from him in the common, probably way too crowded magisk thread - goddamn pokemongo!)
Subscribing. Would like to get this working as well.
Edit: I've gone ahead and opened up a thread so it is easy to find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-installing-magisk-systemless-phhs-t3524270
We're up to Magisk V9 now and it still doesn't work. I'm almost certain it has to do with the execution of the patched boot.img, due to the write-protected /system partition. I finally got it working by using the the method in the guide I posted.
Hey guys,
This is almost certainly a stupid question but I would be grateful for any help. I have a Nexus 6p thats upgraded to the lastest Android O beta version of OPP2. I wanted to finally go around rooting it. I have enabled USB debugging, always allowed the PC's RSA fingerprint and checked allow OEM unlocking. Nothing else has been done before, I plan on following a step by step guide that will help me unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root etc.
I tried googling and to my surprise I could not find any root guide for this version of Nexus 6p (maybe I am just blind?)
Just tossing this out there. Old, but should still do what you need. Now that I think about it, I should probably go ahead and update parts of it....
Android Job Box
Woah. Cheers mate! so i just need to plug my Nexus 6p in, execute the file and click on unlock bootloader? I assume i have to install super su after that and that will be it? :3 Sorry. I know i am asking stupid questions and you are obv a pro. Also the fact that my version is opp2.170420.019 makes no difference right?

No, shouldnt make a difference. SHOULDNT. lol
The first thing I would do is download TheFlash's TWRP build, and flash that using the tool once you have your bootloader unlocked. That can be a lifesaver. Let me know if you have any questions. Questions directly about the tool, please post in my tools release thread.
Allrighty then, ill take the plunge real soon! Thank you for all the help Any specific why I should go with TheFlash's build instead of this one: dl.twrp(dot)me/angler/? As far as I can see it only supports F2FS which I will probably not be using.

None, specifically. But he seems to always be ahead of the curve for almost everything he does. And I really like his work. Personal preference I guess.
Well your tool works well Bootlocker unlocked and TWRP isntalled. But i flashed the SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip and nothings happening. there is a super su app in the drawer but when i click it it says super su binary not installed. Dont suppose you would have any idea why this is?
Update: okay false alarm. installed supersu v2.8 and appears to be rooted now. although super su keeps on crashing.
Update2: actually no, not working properly. Some apps are getting root - others arent I guess

It works the same on OPP1 and OPP2. But all in all, you'll have better luck with Magisk v13.
I flashed it to 7.1.1 N4F26T using NRT and now the it has severe lag and keeps freezing and screen isnt accepting touch commands. Since this is a fresh install I assume the RSA fingerprint and USB Debuugging option has been unchecked as well? I have downloaded the official stock image of 7.1.2. Can I apply it using recovery or something?

I am aware, thanks for the reply. I am rooted as well on 7.0 now. How do you deal with the lag? I have the kernel Aduitor app (Sorry, I don't know how to spell it lmao) and both my governors are set to performance. This kills my battery but any other one is a bit too laggy for me. I do have greenify to help me out on standby which is what killed my battery before root.

Conservative? That will be hella laggy lol. I have had the "apply on boot" option selected. And the debloat script, would just disabling the bloat work? Because that's what I have done. And I have a qualcomm s7 edge :/
so I don't have a custom recovery and no unlocked bootloader. So I don't think I can flash any ROMs. I did find a T-mobile ROM, but no AT&T (mine).
Edit: I did put it on conservative. Seems okay, just had to get passed startup
Yeah conservative is what I am on and no lag haha and no the debloat script removes things entirely from the system and yes you can flash the rom i linked even on locked bootloader that one is safe to flash just use flashfire and follow the instructions I use a Verizon s7 edge so it's all good you can flash it just make sure you follow the directions to the letter and dont panic if the reboot takes like 10 mins or so it will take a few for it to reboot after flashing

Is debloat safe?
Also, do I just download the zip and flash in flashfire? As well what version do I download, there are two files
Yes debloating is completely safe as long as you don't unstall key components (the one I linked is safe) all it does is pretty much run an adb command to unstall useless apps like all the google and Samsung apps that we never use that tend to take up space and ram

Okay, which one do I use? I won't have Wi-Fi soon so I downloaded both, so I can just pick one.
Yes use flashfire. Flashfire is your love flashfire is your life haha and bt first go into super su and go into settings click on "enable su during boot" then use the flash zip OTA option and the make sure you chose the mount/system option and I use the Clean_S7_160319_Ultra one however I will advise you to look through the script first to see what is uninstalled first just to make sure so you can make backups bc I am not sure what exactly you use
I need you help asap! I ran a script (I found one that wasn't on the link you sent me, stupid me) and now it keeps saying "IMS Service has stopped" laterally every 2 seconds. Any help please?
Did you use the S7Edge DeepDebloatV2? Or something like that?? Haha yeah don't use that uninstall ims for now or reflash with Odin

Ahh. Yeah I refreshed in odin. Then I did your debloat, and worked like a charm, Thanks! I forgot to sign into Snapchat before rerooting Smh, this is not my day lol. Would you happen to know any way to get on with root?
Hmmmm ic well you could try hiding the root with rootcloak in the playstore bt if I had to guess it searches for super su and the su folder soooo my guess would be to maybe go into super su and uninstall the root and super su (or reflash everything with odin to make sure all root is wiped) and then log in then root it after
So I was fortunate enough to have ArnovaG82 to look into the camera app of Essential and he said they enabled compression of 90%, so he changed it to 100%. You can find the modded apk here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aQ50MgaKjHwVwNDe_1LA2Q46sQl0QtqE . However, it won't let me install due to having same file name or what not. So I used a system uninstall app from the Play Store with root enabled, but it would not remove the stock camera app. No matter what I do, it does a self restart and the app is there again.
If someone figured out how to completely uninstall the stock app and install the modded apk, please share!
Do you have TWRP? Might remove it from there and then install the modded apk. Otherwise, can you remove it and then immediately install the replacement? Titanium Backup to remove it and then install the modded and then TB it to a system app?

Possibly, then there's this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...sential-phone-tech-support-using-xda-t3699646
Suffice it to say, I'm going to probably use my phone the way I see fit, regardless of what a manufacturer says or another user requests It's seldom worth the risk.
The phone is so good stock Root hardly seems worth it. I read all the threads about roms and rooting and will literally gain me nothing in the end but give me unwanted headaches.
I am rooting it for the sole purpose of replacing the stock camera app with the one that is modded by Arnova
Hi,
I'm following this site for years now, whenever I need to root my phones or just have some technical question related to them, mostly I find the correct answer right here. So, I decided to ask something for the first time, because couldn't find an answer good enough about this matter.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge (G935F) right now and I decided to root it for the first time. Didn't go so well, I got the "Verification Failed, Unable to restart your device..." error. Doesn't matter, I lost everything I had on my phone, but now it's working again. But after I wasted 2 hours and a lot of data for nothing, I realized, that I can't use a rooted phone anyway, because I need multiple apps (bank applications for ex.) which won't open on a rooted phone.
I have three questions:
1) Is there ANY method to successfully hide my phone being rooted, which works a 100% for apps like bank apps?
2) Can dual boot solve my problem, having a primary custom, rooted rom, but having a secondary clean rom for only these few apps? Or those apps check for something deeper, than that?
3) If 1) and 2) won't work, is there any other method to have a rooted phone, but use apps which doesn't work on a rooted device?
TL;DR: Wanna use bank apps on rooted phones, but they won't start because of the root. Any method to make it work?
Thanks in advance!

What is Magisk? A custom ROM? A custom recovery? A root thing like SuperSU?
A little more explain would be good, like the title says, I'm a newbie.
