[HowTo] Pokemon Go on Rooted Phones (CM13/PaulPizz/Jasmine/Stock)

I know this is all over the place, but I thought I would bring it here just in case anyone hadn't found the answer. I have seen a few posts about this on Reddit and some other forums. This will obviously hinge on having the unlocked bootloader. You will also need a file explorer that lets you view root folders just in case you want to make sure the binaries have been delete.
What worked for CM13:
Install SuperSU and use it's unroot method which should delete all SU binaries in /system/bin and /system/xbin.
Install phh SU and Magisk manager.
Reboot to recovery
Install the Magisk v6 and PHH SU files.
Reboot system after clearing cache
Access Magisk Manager and toggle root, it should prompt PHH SU to ask about permissions.
I have read that this same method works for PaulPizz and Jasmine Rom as well. PaulPizz has Xposed preinstalled, so you have to run the Xposed uninstaller and remove the Xposed app. Follow instructions from the Xposed for Magisk thread to reinstall xposed if you require it.
If you want this with the Stock Verizon image, there is a link in the Stock Image thread on page 41 with the bootloader removed for safe upgrade. I will update the post with links to the appropriate threads later today.
Credit to all the devs involved with the Note 4 and Android in general.

The method you've described worked for me on 0.35 PoGo. Then 0.37 update I already had to rollback.
I'm using HTC One M8, rooted, pph and Magisk on stock Rom, systemless xposed.
Now the forced 0.39 version does not run, leaving me with me 'Failed to log in' text. Please guys, work on some help I put my trust in you

I'm on Paul pizz and when i follow the instructions I can get full unroot, everything flashed, but when I go into Magisk manager I am not prompted for anything and if I hit the toggle for root it just toggles itself back. It appears that even after removing the super.su from system in twrp that I still can't get it to install.
I have also removed Xposed with the uninstaller and tibu to remove the APk. I can get systemless Xposed to install and work but not systemless root.
Any ideas?

I'd it's still detecting root, the su binaries haven't been removed completely. Also check that magisk toggles off root.

If you have xposed active, it may not allow you to toggle root off. You have to go to system less and deactivate and then reboot. Then turn off root in magisk. It's the only way I found to get it to work.

Anyone figure out how to install magisk on emotion 7.1 I tried and just boots to download mode and says it couldn't boot normal.

I'm also running emotion 7.1.1 die you ever find a work around of PoGo. I've been trying lit of things but of us it sounds like this magiaksu option is our only option but I can't get it to work either.

iSu [v3.5] Simple app to deactivate activate
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/isu-simple-app-to-deactivate-activate-t3478348

I've seen a few posts on people getting iSu to work to get PoGo on our phones. I've tried a few times but no matter what version of Su I have installed o get this respongse.
Does anyone have a verison that is compatible with iSu. Or could provide me some guidance that would be great.

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).

At least get back my root with this new supersuhide 272.
I assume your ZF2 imei issue is fixed?

hello ameel.
thanks for your work (hope you succeed to recover your phone in the process)!
I just see the SafetyNet update that fail with Magisk now (v6 or v7)
I'll test superuser while it passes safetynet. it won't last long, I presume.

You can flash whichever xposed you want. I only provided the latest magisk version topjohnwu made, but fixed for Zenfone 2
Remember, if you install xposed, SafetyNet will fail.

yup, phone fixed! and yes, SafetyNet fails with Magisk installed (even without root installed). i'm sure topjohnwu will come up with something for Magisk, just have to wait i guess...

what about busybox with SuperUser r272 ?
can we install it? do we have to manually move the files in a custom directory?

And what if I have the phone previously rooted? Can I just flash this new superuser or should I unroot from SuperSU first?

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?..

AAhh i see. Now i know where you are standing at. you are using magisk. But do you have magisksu ? or keep having supersu as main root but magisk installed? . What i mean to say is, when you go into the magisk app, in the 2nd box of the main screen, does it shows supersu as root method? or magisksu? if it is magisksu then you dont need supersu, now, if it does says supersu, then you do have to fix the issue of supersu to unroot by using supersu function and then go directly into recovery mode and flash magisksu once again.

It says majisksu

pbedard said:

Click to collapse
then you dont need su (unless you want it). It is because you already have magisksu (which is pretty much doing the same as su). one overrides the other and then one gets thrown out. Usually to install magisk manually, one does as follows:
1) install magisk app from playstore
2) give supersu access (granted to magisk su)
3) use unroot function in supersu
4) flash magisk zip in recovery mode.
Now, there are other methods to achieve magisksu but the point is that maisksu has changed the binary (which is what SuperSU is telling you that you dont have).But that doesnt mean you are not rooted. you are already rooted with magisk and can achieve pretty much anything that you could achieve with supersu. (it will ask you for prompts asking you whether you want to give su access to "x" or "y" app. etc... Now, if you want SuperSU, you could try to flash the magisk uninstaller. Then do the process of rooting that has been specified for your phone. That should return the SU binary to normality . (this assuming you try to unroot and then flash SU back but didnt work)

hey guys bought my ls997 used. has root because i get the flash screen (untrusted)and twrp is installed and working. how do i find out which to flash ? any advantages to use supersu over magisk ?
i installed magisk manager and it states no root found.

Majisk u have to turn root access on majisk works alot better

Hide Root on P9 lite?

Hello,
i wanna hide root (because of Super Mario Run) and tried to install Magisk, but i get an installation error.
I have no idea if Magisk uses the correct partition, i also tried the boot0/boot1 partition, but no luck.
My P9 lite is running Nougat (VNS-L31C432B370)
Did anyone succeed in installing Magisk on the P9 lite? Or are there any other "hide root" apps i could try?
Thanks!

In my b371 works fine.
I installed magisk from play store and at the first start it asks to install itself in boot partiton.

i can't even install it in recovery, the phone justs reboots during installation.
how did you root? what kernel are you using? i'm using elite-kernel v3 for 370
i assume you're using phh's SuperUser?
well, maybe i give the 371 update a try...

I use elite-kernel. I rooted simply installing phh su from play store. Then I installed magisk from play store and it auto flash itself the zip. It works. Try

It seems that everything is correct. But it does not hide the root, it does not pass safety net.

Help with installing Magisk on Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900V

I have read many threads and lots of videos and cannot seem to get the Magisk installed.
I have flashed back to stock many times with (N900VVRUEOF1_N900VVZWEOF1_N900VVRUEOF1_HOME.tar.md5) in order to try multiple methods.
Rooted with Arabictoolapp - used rootchecker to verify/application also says true for root
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...guide-ob6-of1-root-bootloader-unlock-t3439010
installed SU from playstore to unlock bootloader using the adp method - shows developer mode to verify - using eMMc to verify CID starts with 15
followed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...l/official-note-3-verizon-bootloader-t3359370
installed twrp using official twrp app & also tried ODIN in another trial (picked verizon americas and got twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img.tar and twrp-3.2.3-0-hlte.img )
turned phone off and boot into recovery to verify; at this time i created a recovery
using MagiskManager i downloaded the zip (Magisk-v18.1.ip) and flashed using twrp - no errors but when i restart the phone it says Magisk not installed
next attempt was to extract the boot.img from the stock OF1 and then flash the Magisk - no errors but when i restarted the phone it says the same thing - Magisk not installed
another attempt was to patch the boot.img and got a patch_boot.img then using TWRP i flashed the patch_boot.img - restarted and magisk not installed
after further digging, i tried another method which was to unroot using SU, reboot, go into recovery to then install Magisk - magisk not installed
*note each attempt to install Magisk unrooted my phone
*was able to use Magisk-uninstaller-20190204.zip to uninstall Magisk manager from recovery - icon went away
anyways i am completely stuck now. any suggestions or comments on my approach?

Did you uninstall SU before trying to install magisk. The two together may cause conflict.

what do you mean after normal reboot? so flash magisk in twrp. reboot. reboot again then install magisk manager? do you know what version of magisk i should run and where i can find the dl link?

What he means is you install the Magisk ZIP via TWRP in Recovery mode, reboot the phone, then you install Magisk Manager via the APK.
Go to magiskmanager dot com website which has the ZIP installer plus the APK for the Manager.

I only just recently tried to tackle this challenge. I also installed 0F1 with Odin, then rooted with Arabic. I was messing with Pokemon go and it wasn't happy I was rooted. I downloaded magisk manager, installed it that way. At reboot, angry message from Verizon that I have custom software and phone won't boot. I assume this is because I didn't install custom recovery.
If you figure a way to get this done, I will be grateful. One thing I don't quite follow. Magisk is a root method...so should we really be rooting the phone prior? Seems redundant and going against the whole point of magisk. Right?
I wanted to play around with spoofing GPS with PGO which requires making a GPS spoofer a system app (need root for that). Is that still possible using magisk?
I'll post any updates I have as well.
