Need to hide your root?

I made this tutorial for another post and going to post here if it helps anyone.

Not to take anything away from the OP
But there is a much easier way to do this I've been using since I rooted.
Download: hide my root from the market
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot
And simply hide the root when you need to. Works for any app you'd want to temporary excuse root from your system for.

You can do this with SuperSU to enable/disable root and allow root access to apps all in one.

Simpler solution.Just go in your /system/app folder and rename Superuser.apk to any other name.You will still have your root but app that perform check wont be able to tell.
This works for Time Warner app,it wont let you watch live tv if youre rooted.After you rename your superuser.apk you will be able to watch live tv.Im sure it works for other apps too.

Renaming the superuser.apk worked for me! Thx :good:
But I wonder if there is any app out there which can do it automatically ...
I have tried these apps, but without success
Hide my Root (by Amphoras)

Both have been proven to not rename the Superuser.apk.
So Whatchever has still recognized the root.

I have forgotten to mention that I am using Android 4.1.2 (Stock ROM).

I use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, works great. One click root bypass and one click to restore.

I tried this app, but my root is still detected :/
When I browse to /system/app/ the superuser.apk is still there and not renamed or s.th. ...
EDIT:
I found this script here, it works like a charm THANKS!!!

For anyone still here magisk has the ability to hide root built into it. You can enable it in its settings and then choose which app to hide root from. Works with snapchat.

Pokemon go is checking safety net.
The only way to properly hide root nowadays is to root with magisk. Make sure you select Pokemon go in the magisk hide section

I must have other issues seeing as I'm rooted with Magisk. I'm on marshmallow no root now and I've also turned USB debugging off. Perhaps it's detecting old files or that my boot loader is unlocked!?

Yakju 4.3 OTA link

My wife's phone got the OTA update. It already downloaded so I just had the file name, showing it is in cache:
6c7ff815e7762f651ad6f8c74e5cb281093f1e0b.signed-yakju-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.6c7ff815.zip
But based on other OTA updates for Yakju it appears that I can put the normal first part of the url in front of it, so download link is: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_maguro/6c7ff815e7762f651ad6f8c74e5cb281093f1e0b.signed-yakju-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.6c7ff815.zip
Enjoy!

Thank you!

Have you problem with the new SuperSU?
I have read this: "Be careful with that version of SuperSU. It is not yet stable (on the N4 at least). There is an issue where for some reason (and we haven't figured it out yet), you lose root, and the daemonsu process starts eating up ~70%+ of your CPU time. Battery dies pretty quick. "

could you make a small guide with the steps you followed for flashing?
I assume that with this method you don't lose any of the personal data. right?

@aryan79
I've flashed 20 minutes ago, until now It's working fine, I will post if some problems occur
@sakis_the_fraud
I've had already CWM installed, I'm assuming you also have it:
1.- boot into CWM
2.- backup
3.- flash OTA zip
4.- flash superSU
5.- Reboot system
That's all

Thank you

I just did this myself - stock 4.2.2 and stock bootloader.
Adb sideload worked fine and I didn't lose any data.
Only strange thing was my live wallpaper was uninstalled, but everything else seems ok, and I just reinstalled the wallpaper from the Play store.
I don't see "yakju" mentioned in the software build details anymore like other releases???

I asked for the "about phone" page.... not the debugging options. I'm looking for your software version etc.
Btw... that screenshot is completely different than the debugging option page you showed with the root options.... So perhaps I don't understand your question as asked. Are you looking to HAVE the root options in developer options?

Right. You don't need root options in the rom you are on. That option is only in cm/aosp based roms where root is built into the rom.
You won't get that option in development settings on a sense based rom. As long as supersu binaries are flashed and supersu is installed you will configure any root settings via the supersu app.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

^ What he said. Use supersu app, only aosp roms like cm, or stock android have the root option in dev menu. If you're rooted with a custom recovery but don't have supersu app, install it via cwm/twrp (whichever you are using). You can find it on the forum here. It'll be a zip.

Rooted Nexus 5X update question

Hi there guys! I own a rooted Nexus 5X. I currently received the OTA update for Nougat and would like to do the update. My question is: how can I do this update without reverting everything to stock first? I don't mind loosing root access, I would just like to update using the OTA update without having to revert everything back to stock and then doing it. Can you guys share a little knowledge here? I have TWRP installed

I think you can maybe sideload the OTA or flash with Flashify or something. It's really recommended to do do a clean install with a factory image and then reroot, especially if you're coming from M. Takes no effort to just back up your SD card with your PC
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Download FlashFire app, go to official page for Nexus 5X OTA packages, download it(around 1.1GB) and flash it as factory image through FlashFire app.
Untick flash recovery.
After that just flash SuperSU zip from twrp and you're rooted.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Using FlashFire Pro, the previously downloaded OTA,(approx. 50 MB), when FlashFire opened, it detected the OTA download and I simply hit the Flash button and it performed flawlessly. Preserved root and recovery.

FlashFire won't do the new security update because my /system is modified. I had to modify it to make AdAway work.

Didn't work, it gave a warning about the system being modified and I hit ignore, then the update didn't take.

It didn't work for me either at first, then I checked the "Restore boot and recovery images" option (The "Mount /system read/write" option was already checked, so I left it). Once I checked that option and flashed the OTA update (NRD90S downloaded from Google), it installed just fine.

So if I have stock MM with modified system (adaway, xposed) and its encrypted. Could I upgrade to N by using the 1gb update through flashify? What about vendor?
I'm sick and I don't think my brain is working so I just want to make sure I understand correctly. I'm trying to do this without using a computer. Thanks!!

I don't see why not, although I'm not 100% sure.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I had Xposed installed with a few modules, like mock mock location, root cloak and other two. What I just did was uncheck the flash recovery and left all the things FlashFire told me to. Had no problems at all I believe there's not an Xposed flasher for 7.0 am I right? Still doesn't work?

[Magisk Module] Bring back Android Pie 2-Button Gesture Navigation

All Android 10 launch devices will no longer have the 2-button gesture navigation that was introduced in Android 9 Pie. If you cared for this and want it back on your Pixel 4, simply flash the Magisk Module attached to this thread and reboot. You should see the 2-button navigation option in Settings > System > Gestures > System navigation.
This Magisk Module simply adds the 2-button navigation overlay from the Pixel 3. No changes are made to any system files or properties.

Thank you so much. Your work makes the Pixel very AWESOME [emoji7]
