Installing custom ROM without root issues

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.

Bypass Root Detection?

Hi,
I'm hoping I am posting this in the right place but after installing Magisk on OOS11 I am unable to bypass Root detection on my banking apps, I have used Magisk Hide and this shows all okay with safetynet but using Root Beer it still detects SU binaries etc.
I thought it was somehow detecting the unlocked bootloader but after uninstalling Magisk and leaving the bootloader unlocked the apps function okay.
If anyone is able to help that would be great, many thanks!

Have you tried repackaging Magisk?

Hi, yes I tried that to but still detected su binaries etc.

have you try to use Xposed module: Root Cloak?
for some apps, I can successfully bypass the root detection.
sadly for my banking apps, it's just no use. somehow it still detect the root even the xposed. so I decided not to root my phone
but, I think it might work for some banking app.

Hi, thank you for the idea but still no luck, I'm using Starling Bank if anyone else is also having the same issue.

I use starling bank also, but magisk hide is working as it should
Also force stop the app, clear the data&cache, re add to magisk hide the try again
Ps - root beer will detect su binaries; that's it's purpose. But when you use magiskhide on root beer it hides them as expected.

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

@PassingInTime Are you passing the Safetynet check?

Yeh, see if magisk mgr is passing safety net...

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

Can't get GPay or my banking app to work

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new with ROMs and everything regarding Android, but I've been trying to flash an AOSP ROM, whether official or not, just to get GPAY or my banking app to work on my A20e.
You can download the apps, they run fine, you can add your card and input the SMS code and everything, only problem is at the last step where GPay just gives me a standard error and my banking app gives me a "Digitization not finalized".
I got both GPAY and BTPay (my banking app) to work with the stock rom, so It can't be the card itself.
Has anyone ran into this or managed to fix it?

Have you rooted the device with Magisk? If so, go to the Magisk settings and toggle on 'MagiskHide'

Question WA detected (auto logout) custom ROM

WA detected (auto logout) custom ROM (i use project elixir Rom)
is there any solution for this problem?
maybe something like hiding root from app
but this hides rom from app (whatsapp)

Is you safetynet passing? Are you rooted?
Whatsapp is modt likely detecting that safetynet is not passing, you can check your safetynet using the yasnac app from the playstore.I am rooted myself on a custom rom and I never had this problem.

To make safetynet pass again you can use a magisk module.

I use 2 banking apps
And i hide my root phone with magisk module (shamiko) and work 100%, my banking apps work (not detect root)
.
My Whatsapp not detect root
But my Whatsapp detect my custom ROM
.
Note : I have 3 phone
my nothing phone use Project Elexir (WhatsApp detect rom)
my poco F1 use corvus (WhatsApp not detect rom)
my miA1 use LineAge (WhatsApp not detect rom)
.
All rooted and all use banking app (100% work) and all use WhatsApp (but nothing phone detected

Even if all your banking apps work it could be that whatsapp detects for safetynet and I would suggest to you that you try to install this module and see if whatsapp works again and if your safetynet is passing.
You can also try to install an older version of whatsapp or reset whatsapps data to get it working again.
