Installing custom ROM without root issues - LG G6 Questions and Answers

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.

If it's in the context of getting pokemon go working, I think this might help get what you need: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRo...around_for_the_pokémon_go/?sort=new&limit=500

It's working for me with android pay.
Safetynet is passing for me using Magisk v9 & phh's Superuser r266-2, but a new version of each was released last week that chatter in other forums seem to suggest device-specific trouble with. I might try but first wanted to know if anyone else in the LePro3 world already has and had problems. My current interest in safetynet is for Android Pay and DirectvNow.

Linked method is outdated ever since the introduction of November security patch.
Magisk V10 and phh SU r266 working fine for me on 20s
Upgrading worked for me too and I like how safety net check is part of the new status screen.
Seems like known issue but installing Xposed caused safetynet to fail, both before and after upgrade. Uninstalling Xposed caused safety net to pass again.
Root working and safetynet still passing on my x727 after taking the Magisk Manager upgrade to Magisk 11.1 and MagiskSu.
are all of you on a stock ROM and bootloader locked, I am using lineage OS 13, but safety net fails? do you have any idea how to fix this, just wanted to use ANDROID PAY, or do I need to be on STOCK ROM, just don't like the EUI and the status bar icons and the way they look(it's just me). Any help would greatly be appreciated=)
I am on stock ROM and unlocked bootloader. Magisk lets the unlocked bootloader stay. I don't see how safetynet could be expected to fully pass on a non-OEM supported ROM, especially over the longhaul of the cat-and-mouse game.
I don't like EUI either but changing out the launcher and even the notifications pulldown with Play Store apps helps immensely, along with using Titanium to freeze the bloatware. The main EUI remnants left after that is the lockscreen, the settings application, and the recents screen which I tolerate so as to have safetynet.
I could not pass safety net, got CM13, with MAGISK installed. Dang=)

Hi, Did this but after installing MAGISK, everything passed, except FINGERPRINT got disabled, says hardware not supported. Android Pay works,just went to gas station and tried it, works flawlessly. FINGERPRINT is the problem I'm seeing now. Thanks for any help.

You mean you can't use the fingerprint sensor to unlock your phone? I am not sure, that works fine for me.

Yup, what boot image did you install? I think the problem was the boot image I used, are you on the 20's now? thanks
I am running the aboot from dr4stic's 19s unlocked bootloader zip, everything else is from the stock 20s OTA zip.
Ok, I have spent several hours trying to make it work and now time to ask for help. I got Leeco LePro 3 with custom Ron based on EUI, and trying to get Magisk working. First I tried installing system less SuperSU and Magisk, but it failed safety check multiple times, so I tried uninstalling SuperSU and use Magisksu, but not I am not able to move forward. I installed Magisk manager and when it try to install Magisk manager it downloads but doesn't show way to install it, I even try flashing Magisk 12 zip using TWRP, but it fails to update. Can someone please help me with getting Magisk working with safety check?

Flashing Magisk with TWRP should work. What do you mean by it fails to update?

Pokémon GO - can't access latest version

Hi everyone,
I cannot seem to access the app. My device is rooted, got magisk, xposed and the rootcloak running. What is going wrong? Is it something due to the latest version of the app?

The same thing happened to me and I still dont know what to do but all I done was remove the app and never install it again. ?? Sorry I didn't help you but that's what I done
Maybe there is a workaround. If only anyone more experienced than us could help..
Pokémon Go use Safety net to detect modified devices. Root cloak does not work to hide root. You probably can't open the app with root/Xposed in any way. If you search in the SuHide thread you may find a work around but it's filled with reply and it will be hard to.
Use xposed systemless, every time that I want play pokemon, only switch off xposed, reboot, and it works... that's the only way to play pokemon

Banking app crashing on rooted Android 11

Hey, all
Successfully upgraded and rooted my phone on Android 11 and have now discovered my banking app isn't working; it's crashing within seconds of trying to start.
I have Magisk itself hidden and my banking app, Navy Federal, checked under the MagiskHide section but it's not making a difference.
Anyone else having this issue and/or figured a way to resolve it?
Magisk hide isn't always going to work.
You could try hiding the magisk name but beyond that there isn't a lot you can do

Magisk shows all pass. Firefox is actually crashing on launch now as well. Not sure what's going on yet, but I'm hoping to avoid resetting...again.

What banking app has the issue? Ill test it out on my device.
Sometimes it's bank sided, when I rooted my device after updating to A11, my bank app didn't work and I thought it had something to do with root.
I ended up calling them, it turned out that they didn't update the app and after a couple of days I received an update and it's working again.
If it worked for you before root, try to hide Magisk, does it pass safetynet anyway?
EDIT: Just noticed that it passes safetynet, I'd suggest to restore stock boot and see if it works, if so, try rooting again.
Are you using beta canary?
roote3 beta 3 NFCU app works for me. magisk hidden and magisk name changed.
Enable USB debugging and use ADB logcat ... Start the app ... Stop the logcat and check for errors in the log ... Maybe you'll find why in there

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!

What's the best android 11 version?

Hi all
I recently purchased and SU/rooted my OP8pro and currently on version 11.0.5.5 international*
I'm always getting the update notifications however I'm worried it will compromise my root..
How can I update ( should I update?) and keep Root ?
Check if the newer version is rootable then upgrade.
Or look if supersu has update support in which it won't compromise the root access
And if you want to update, update if not then don't.

Thanks, I've got a few magisk modules installed already but do you know a way to simply hide/mute those system notifications?
Appreciated
Try disabling notification access for the updater app

K do you want u mean through the default settings or via magisk or something?
With default settings.
Steps to upgrade and keep root:
1- Uninstall ALL Magisk modules (if you have any). Reboot to System.
2- install Oos.zip with Settings > Local upgrade . Do NOT reboot!!!
3- Open Magisk > Install. Choose (Install to inactive slot after' OTA).
5- Reboot to system.
Re-install modules one by one so you know if one of them cause issue.
I run 11.0.7.7 EU on mine with Magisk 23.0 and as modules I use Riru, LSPosed, Gravitybox R, Dolby Atmos (with EQ), Swift Installer module, BusyBox, Magisk hide, CTS profile fix and systemless hosts. Works fine.
They're all rootable, they're all the same pretty much, so the latest would be the best

Yep, very small changes unless you alter the base (10-11) but even then it's minor cosmetic changes.
Couldn't speak for the beta but the stock is as I've said, I wouldn't imagine the beta to be too dissimilar
Beta is awesome! And always with new options/features, wich will be on stable later, Much later.
I use open beta since OnePlus 3. Still use it. Too bad that is show up after Months.
Yeah it is but buggy af though sometimes
Thanks for all the feedback guys. Only problem is that I have no time do even tgink about this at the moment.. Is there a way to hide/ disable system notifications? It gets annoying and sometimes I almost install the updates..
