Hide Root, Pass Safety​ net, feature just like Magisk Manager Root Hide - LineageOS Questions & Answers

I just want to say is there any possibility future upgrade to lineageos "Extra root zip" so that there is option in "manage Root" section under developer settings that can hide Root similar to that of Magisk Manager so that have like Pokemon Go, Mario Run, etc can easily run.
I many of you will suggest to flash Magisk but that is not inbuilt thing, every time when we update there is always potential that Magisk gets wiped or worse stuck in bootloop so suggesting it to be an official inbuilt feature

Alternative to SuperSU

As far as I understand it many banking apps simply check for the existance of supersu.apk, and if found denies access. Is it correct that by using another method to getting root, this problem might be solved? And if so, which alternatives are there (can Magisk be used on a OP3)?

Yes it can be done (I can use banking apps and Android Pay on my OP3).
1. Disable any in-built root/remove exisiting SuperSU.
2. Flash Magisk
3. Install Magisk Manager
4. Enable Magisk Hide
5. Try app - If it still doens't work go back onto Magisk Hide and enable it on that specific app by pressing the checkbox and it should work. (Try rebooting if it doesn't work)
6. If possible turn off devloper options/ADB options in settings as these can stop banking apps from working.
I hope this helps
I confirm magisk is legit and fantastic!!!

Magisk works perfectly for all the apps which checks for the SAFETYNET......some apps need not be hided using magisk hide ...just bypassing the safetynet is enough for A-pay and banking apps ...

Had this as a small project for this Easter. However for 1) above, is it as simple as just running "Change superuser app" in SuperSU free before proceeding with 2-6) ? Have seen some rather complicated install instructions elsewhere - and can also see that some users have experienced various problems.

The only way I could completely remove SuperSU was to dirty flash OOS. Otherwise safety net still detected SuperSU. Rooted with magisk and used magisk hide. Can now play Mario run and used Android pay.

How to install Magisk v12.0 root, re-enable Samsung Health, and pass safetynet

sorry guys Magisk currently does not pass safetynet checks (24-06-2017) so this guide is a bit out of date but you can still use it, I will make another guide for this once magisk v13 comes out and fixes this problem
Hi guys! just a quick guide on how to install magisk, re-enable use of Samsung Health, and pass SafetyNet and be play store certified.
This guide will be pretty brief as i don't have the time or commitment to do an in-depth guide and I believe if you are here that you should know what you are doing (if anyone wants to make this in-depth, please be my guest).
this guide is for people who have tripped knox and still want to use s health while still getting the most out of their phone
You will need:
Odin:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705230
TWRP for your device (you should be able to find guides with the download link)(you should also flash back to complete stock if you are already rooted to avoid any problems with previous roots)
no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424951049
Magisk v12.0:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Now that you have those 4 files we can start.
Skip steps 1-6 if you already have root and only wish to use samsung health
1. put magisk v12.0 and dm-verity patch onto the sdcard in the phone
2. flash TWRP using odin
3. boot into recovery and swipe to allow modifications.
4. under wipe there should be a button to format data (its in the bottom right). you will need to do this to flash magisk and dm verity.
5. flash Magisk and THEN dm verity
6a. boot into phone and complete setup to get to home page.
6b. download any systemless root app that you want (adaway works you just have to turn on systemless host files in magisk settings + viper4andriod has a module in magisk that you download for it to work)
(DO NOT TURN ON HIDE MAGISK UNTIL THE END)
7. download the app buildprop editor, open it and grant it root. search for the line ro.config.tima=1 and change the value from 1 to 0.
8. reboot the phone and you should now be able to use s health.
continue following if you wish to pass safetynet and be playstore certified (set up your root apps like viper and adaway before doing this)
9. go into magisk settings and enable the setting Magisk Hide. reboot phone. check that you pass safetynet in magisk manager after booting up again
10. go into app manager, find google play store, tap storage and then clear the data.
11. open app again and you should be certified. (this took me a few tries. not sure if it was play store needing to update the property or me needing to reboot the phone)
12. Yay! your device should now be able to pass safetynet and will be play store certified in the play store app. you should soon be able to see netflix in the play store again.
source: I done this on my a520 just on the weekend to be able to update netflix
I'll try this next update, thnx!
Does this require an external sd card?

Yes i believe so, although I have never tried doing it without
According to the XDA page of Magisk it already supports dm-verity and forceencrypt. So is the separate download of no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip still necessary?
Edit: What does the change " ro.config.tima=0" do?

oh i did not know that it supported it already so maybe its not? not sure, try it out and see what happens?
the config change make it so that the rom thinks you still have knox enabled to you are able to use samsung health still (it got a "security update" that makes it so that phones with knox tripped will not be able to use it)
Good to know ! Thank so much !
But what's the real possibilities of this recent "magisk" ?
It can root with systemless ?
And in theory with systemless-root ,that don't trip the knox and we can use all apps and full hardware ....because it consider that the system is safe and untouched ===> i'm truth or wrong ?

According to some other threads (and if I remember correctly from my own experience with the S7) Knox gets triggered as soon as you flash a custom recovery.
A positive effect of Magisk vs. SuperSU could be that system updates are still possible as the system partition is still unchanged. On the other hand the custom recovery will most probably cause the update to fail.
What seems to make Magisk superior to SuperSU is MagiskHide so that the system appears to be unchanged for PlayStore and apps using SafetyNet.

Thank so much for sharing Samsung experience
Before i have had olds goods samsung fully customised ! It was funny before ,at this time ....and then always have had LG phones and just an unlock of bootloader+Systemless root din't have problem at all (full playstore&experience)
Now with the samsung evolution and my new A5 ,i don't want at all loose OTA updates,knox flag.... and all functions+playstore as you have said . And magisk is recent...
I want to be sure at 100....0000% that "magisk" systemless root doesn't affect anything .
i'm not interested at all by TWRP ...completely useless until there eventually have "real" customs developments and many things can be flashed by flashfire,flashify....

I doubt that FlashFire or Flashify can flash anything without root. The website of FlashFire for example says "FlashFire is the most advanced on-device firmware flasher available for rooted Android devices.". And the same for Flashify: [APP][4.0+][ROOT] Flashify.

What's the deal with magisk?

Ok so, I have known magisk for its root hide feature.....as systemless root method and, you know, first things you read about it
Now I'm realizing it's bigger than that......with modules!
wow, xposed wasn't f%&ing up our devices enough, now we need magisk modules too
joke, anyway....I once tried to flash it and resulted in bootloop (like 5/6 months ago) so it was closed story for me
BUT again....I see everyone asking for it, modules and stuff....
I know that unless you use special carrier features is not mandatory
So now....these are my questions to you, magisk power users:
1) Is it better/less invasive on the system than lastest superSU beta?
2) is it better for performance? or stability?
3) are there really useful modules? do many modules break things, decrease performance/stability as xposed does? (yes. I hate xposed)
thank you for your attention
Since no one else has given input yet, although I'm not very experienced with Magisk, I'm using it right now for the first time.
The most popular reason for using Magisk as far as I've noticed is so that you can successfully and easily hide that you're rooted so that you can use Android Pay, Pokemon Go and some other apps that check for that.
The only reason I'm using Magisk right now is because I'm running Viper10 ROM with it's all SuperSU option and although I believe my phone kept root after the Play Store SuperSU update to 2.80 and updating binaries/rebooting, the update to 2.81 broke SuperSU for me so badly that even flashing 2.8x or 2.79 SR3 SuperSU zips didn't restore root/SuperSU even after a dirty flash of the ROM.
I could've restored a TWRP backup but instead did a dirty flash of the ROM but with the full Magisk option and now root is restored.
Overall I like SuperSU better because I don't need any apps that won't run while detecting root, and I like SuperSU's ability to require a pin when granting superuser access.
By the way I really liked Xposed but I don't need it as much any more because of Nougat's custom tiles feature and the excellent ROMs available.
I'm really glad you asked this because I can' tseem to find a proper tutorial on how to install magisk and keep things such as my Banking app and other Finger print recognition software working correctly.
Have you found a tutorial which shows you how to do this?

Instructions are in the Magisk thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
If you already have twrp then it's as easy as just flashing the zip file. For your banking app etc, after you've flashed Magisk from the above thread, you just need to open the Magisk Manager app, go to settings and enable Magisk Hide. Then go into the Magisk Hide menu and chose the apps want to hide root from.
Magisk is an amazing creation.
Although I am in no way a power user of Magisk, as I don't use it myself, at the moment. This doesn't mean I don't recognize the importance and brilliance of the Application and what it can do.
For awhile, it was mandatory to use Magisk ROMs for VoLTE/Wi-Fi Calling on Nougat firmware, but that was squashed (updater-script issues if I recall correctly. A great team effort though for those that fixed it).
Anyway, I guess my .2 cents is this. If you need a system-less set-up, for whatever reason. Be it Pokemon, or banking applications, etc...
Then Magisk is highly suggested, and really the only route. The modules that are being created are amazing.. However, they don't do anything that can't be done to the system itself. Unlike Xposed, which could do a lot of things (I also hate Xposed..) with its modules, this is different.
Such as this recent Magisk Module that was shared, I just went ahead and enabled it manually in my ROM.
Since I have no use for system-less I run my device the same way I always have. TWRP recovery and flashing custom ROMs. The latest SuperSU has fixed all root issues for myself on Sense based ROMs, and I like to use the stock LOS SuperUser on AOSP/LOS based ROMs.
I use multirom and it is an amazing creation, should check it out. Worth a peek.
Best of luck with whatever direction you decide to go.

Magisk and Snapchat on sense based rom

How to install Magisk in sense based rom mainly in s rom?
It needs ramdisk modification, but no did it yet.
I don't actually use the M8 as my daily driver anymore, nor do I use Snapchat. But what works on my current phone (OnePlus 3T) to hide root from apps (in my case Netflix and banking app) as well as on my NVIDIA Shield tablet:
Uninstall SuperSU (not just the app, but the binary also). Believe there is an option to unroot, right in the SupeSU app.
After SuperSU is removed, simply download the Magisk zip, and flash in TWRP. You will need the current Magisk 13.3 for it to pass SafetyNet (and allow Snapchat, etc.) due to recent changes to SafetyNet by Google.
When flashing Magisk, make sure you pick Magisk root, not SuperSU, as SuperSU won't pass SafetyNet. Then once rebooted, open the Magisk Manager app, tap the SafetyNet check to make sure it passes. Then tap the 3-line menu button (top left) go to Settings, and toggle on Magisk Hide. Then in the menu, tap Magisk Hide, and check the apps you want to hide root from. You should be good after that (may need to reboot in order to properly hide root).
Sense or no Sense makes no difference. The main thing is whether a ROM is rooted (most custom ROMs are, with exception of some AOSP like Lineage) and removing SuperSU properly. Otherwise, no way Magisk Hide will work.

Double Magisk Manager install: Solved!¡!¡!

Hello
I full OTA update to my rooted OnePlus 7T
But I forgot to disable Magisk modules, etc.
So from the attached screenshots: Magisk manager is complaining that root was denied; yet, I'm still rooted. Other apps needing root have root access and root check app states I'm rooted.
So far I've tried to install the full update again but Magisk manager will not let me install root to inactive slot after OTA update... Only allowed to patch boot image.
So what am I doing wrong? And how can I get root through Magisk Manager (or not)?
Edit: looks like I don't have root anymore either (wither Manager says so or not cause apps that used root have now lost access.... Installed the OTA full update and skipped install root b4 reboot since Manager didn't provide me the option to install after OTA and before reboot)
Thanks
Ok all sorted out thanks. Hid Magisk and forgot. Installed full update then tried to root with new Magisk Manager install (so now I had two installed Magisk Managers cause I forgot I told one to go hide just a few days ago!). So that's not gonna work.
Solution: lots and lots and lots of reading cause I have never hid Magisk. But, finally I read and reread and read some more.
Finally, I remembered that I never uninstalled the hidden Magisk Manager - I just hid and forgot (never hidden Magisk until this first instance so I never had to consider that).
Looking in my app drawer... Yup, 2 instances of Magisk Manager... One hidden right beside the other installation.
Uninstalled the hidden Magisk Manager and the newly installed Magisk Manager worked like it should and patched boot to root (or is it root to boot?).
YAY THANKS XDA. Couldn't have done it with out you all here.
And no more pressing any more buttons that I don't know what the result is. I'll read first, then press buttons, then complain here for help. PS: it gave me something to do for two straight days yay. Can't wait for new XDA app.
Peace
