Keeping Netflix and Bank Access After Root - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

I'm sorry for asking such a simple question, but it's been more than a year since I've bought my g5+ and been away from rooting/flashing due to warranty. I would like to root this phone to enable camera Api 2 and miracast connectivity on its build prop. What I don't know is if its possible to do that without losing Netflix and Bank access. Is it possible to only alter the build prop and unroot afterwards?
If someone can direct me to a topic where I could get this knowledge, please do. Thanks in advance.

i am using aosip 8.1 rom and magisk 16.3, netflix has no issues installing from the play store and my banking app works fine as well

Yes it's possible to use Netflix and bank apps with root.
I have rooted (magisk) moto g5 plus (Potter) running on Lineage OS 15.1. Netflix and bank apps work fine.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install a custom recovery
TWRP is best.
3. Root using magisk. Supersu is not recommended since it would break safetynet and there's no workaround for it as far as I know.
4. Install the universal safetynet fix module in magisk. It should fix safetynet.
5. Use magiskhide option in magisk to hide root from Bank apps.
6. I don't know if camera api 2 and miracast can be enabled without modifying system. There is a magisk module to enable camera api2 but I don't know about miracast. Please research this further.
Please do extensive research on each of these steps before proceeding. Below links may help.

Has anyone confirmed snapchat for LG US996 ??

HI
I am a new member
I can not write in the Developer Forum
My rom is NRD90M Modded NotSoStock ROM v5.5 By @Tilde88
I can not log in to the program snapchat
Is there one got him this problem ??
Snapchat uses Google SafetyNet. So if root is detected, snapchat will not work. Has nothing to do with the ROM. You didn't say which device you had, I make the same ROM for 4 phones. You can bypass safetynet using my kernel, if you also use rootswitch. You can read through the thread to see how to get it working. The tutorial is not for snapchat, it says android pay, and pokemon go, but it is the same for snapchat.

Ok, so you already have the kernel patch. All you need is the rootswitch apk, and the 2 scripts found in my H918 thread. Install rootswitch, put the 2 scripts in /data/ , reboot, launch root switch and disable root. Snapchat, androidpay, and pokemon go will work.

How to make Android Pay work on a rooted device?

Hello everyone, next week we will have Android Pay running in Russia, so I would like to know if anyone managed to make it work on a rooted s8? I flashed custom Renovate rom and have Magisk. Would be grateful if someone can give an instuction on how to make android pay work.
There is a option in Magisk Manager called MagiskHide. You can use it to hide root and modified boot.img from specific apps. But I don't know which application SafetyNet detects.
Thanks, will try when Android Pay starts working in my country.

But simply activating MagiskHide won't hide modifications from SafetyNet. You have to choose application from the list MagiskHide requires so that MagiskHide can hide your Magisk modifications from that application.
I actually don't know, which app you must hide Magisk from.
i can have android pay , pokemon go worked at my rooted S8 with magiskhide .

You are able to use it. But you need superstock kernel to do that. But Sammy will fix it propably.

Restoring Moto G4 Plus (XT1644-US) so it can pass Safety Net test

Hi,
I had my Moto G4 (with the official Nougat 7.0 upgrade) rooted with Elemental using SuperSU, but it was then blocking some apps due Safty Net test fail.
Is there a way to set the firmware as something like "Brand New", I don't know, factory reset or some other possible configuration...?
I just don't care If I loose the data or root advantages, I just want to use those apps again, without having to buy a really brand new phone.
All ideas or tutorials are really apreciated.
Thanks

Use magisk for root, probably only this can pass safetynet for now
Also if some apps block from starting then under magisk hide just select that app and the app will work

Amazon Ad Moto G5 Nougat Xposed and Magisk question

I did some searching, however I was getting a lot of results not related EXACTLY to the my question and a lot outdated (since Xposed is just now officially working for Nougat). So I figured it would be best just to ask. I'm not asking for people to do searching for me or HOW to do these things, I can do that on my own I just want to make sure its all possible before I go and buy a new phone. My LG G3 is currently in my oven and I'm trying to fix it, its been a good phone to me but I don't think its going to last long.
I've been eyeing the Moto G5 plus. My question is it possible to systemless root with Magisk (I want to bypass SafteyNet) and also get Xposed working on this device? There are quite a few xposed apps I can't live without anymore.
Thank you.
You can get magisk and xposed working in the g5 plus, I was running both for awhile. However, I don't think it's possible to pass safetynet if you install Xposed framework since it modifies the system.

Can you just "turn off" xposed? I thought there was systemless xposed?

Yes, you can toggle it when you need to pass safetynet.
Just an FYI... NONE of these things are possible on an Amazon ad supported Moto G5+ because the bootloader is not unlockable... No root, no Xposed, no custom ROMs, nothing. You need the full retail version for that.

And that was why I asked, thank you... Apparently the standard version is cheaper on Amazon regardless, go figure.

Must be a sale then... The ad version is normally about 50-60 bucks cheaper.

So I can run systemless root with Magisk and systemless xposed also with the non Amazon Moto G5 Plus then?

On the standard retail version? Of course... even if purchased from Amazon. The bootloader is unlockable, Magisk supports the device, and Xposed supports Nougat now. Just make sure to backup before flashing TWRP (boot it and make a complete backup since we don't have current software images).
But you will never be able to do it on the Amazon supported version.

does rooting phone make google pay not work?

I still haven't rooted my phone and installed a custom rom and it's been awhile since I've done that, being I came from OnePlus one.
If I root my phone will Google pay not work at terminals?

Magisk takes care of that. You should be okay with rooted and stock.
This is my first time using Magisk & systemless root. If I were to make system r/w, does that automatically cause SafetyNet to fail, making Google Pay unusable?

No.
If you are using Magisk SafetyNet should pass.
I'm just using a custom kernel and safety net passes. No Magisk only ElementalX
Google pay works for me with Magisk hide, safetynet passes.
If you unlock bootloader you must install Magisk to have Google pay and other payment apps working.
It's not only linked to root or not root, ASA your BL is unlocked your device doesn't meet the safety data integrity criteria for payment.
Magisk takes care of that

Works good for me and I'm not even using magisk hide. Do you happen to have any modules that may interfere with safetynet not passing?

Have you went to a terminal and paid for something with it? Because from past experiences even if it said it passed payments wouldn't work at terminals

Yes
I rooted my 6T and have Magisk 17.3 on it. I used Magisk Hide on every App without the root Apps. Safety Net passes and Google Pay worked for me. Yesterday I used it for the first time in an Wasgau-Market in Germany and I was able to pay with it. Had a really funny look from the people behind me in line the Moment I hold my phone at the Terminal. Also the cashier said that she is wondering if it works. Was awasome!
