Is it possible to run snapchat on a rooted device anymore? I guess snapchat decided to up their security again. It seems to be that the only thing out there that will bypass safetynet is magisk, but I don't think that we can install that with a locked bootloader. Has anyone had any success besides unrooting the device?
Apparently I answered my own question myself just now playing around lol. It appears that Xposed is the culprit and uninstalling it, then logging into snapchat does work. (at least for now)
EDIT: xposed randomly let me install it finally and I am still logged into snapchat

So, i've used Snapchat on both
Stock (5.1.1 - Oi1 Rom) and Custom Rom (Renegade)
I can't seem to get it to work on the custom rom, i've always had to use the stock rom and it would work just fine, but on the other it would say "temporarily logged out" or something different, but when i boot back to stock, its fine and doesn't hesitate to say that.
Am i missing something here?? i've already tried resetting my password 5 times to be sure.
Snapchat 9.1.17.1.0 -- Xposed Snapprefs 1.6.2
Snapchat and Root
I don't use Snapchat, but this might explain your issue:
http://www.xda-developers.com/snapchat-is-at-it-again-and-blocks-root-users-but-for-how-long/
Snapchat detects Root and stops working, XDA builds a work-around into Xposed, Snapchat puts out a new patch and repeat.
Found something new: Try updating to Snapprefs 1.6.4. And you will find more help here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-snapprefs-ultimate-snapchat-utility-t2947254
Thank you!
I've actually ended up researching and figuring it outmyself my way or work around.
Snapchat checks or scans to see if "Xposed" which leads me to not log in.
So in order to use Snapchat with Snapprefs or 3rd party, you would need to either
Install stock and root it, then log into snapchat with the latest version and then go to recovery to install xposed.
or
Install stock and root then boot to recovery to install the custom rom and do no install xposed framework.
Once done with booting up and setting up, install snapchat latest version, log into it and then install xposed.
once thats done download 'xinstaller' and check to enable downgrading and updating and then install 'snapprefs' for all the
juicyness of customizations.
Profit!
My configuration.
Snapchat -
9.17.1.0
Xposed -
75 wanam 20151008 - seems to work best for me on both roms instead of v79.
Snapprefs -
1.6.2

I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.
Why does Snapchat do this? Does anyone have any idea why?

They make a silly app with an unenforceable premise, the app sucks and they block third-party alternatives, their security is awful, their background data drain is known to go nuts, and now they are blocking root users so they can better charge you for replays??
But still they can't tame the root..
p.s. the CEO is an Apple fanboy..
Sometimes snapchat just crashes a couple of seconds after opening it or sometimes it doesn't but when I try to open someones story it just crashes.
I can provide logs if someone can explain how to do it
To add to this, I've tried it on 1.9 and it doesn't work. This problem is all of the sudden and it used to work. I've tried uninstalling root and xposed and factory resetting none of which work. It works fine on CM13 and 14.1 but suddenly it stops working here.
Id also like to add that on freedom OS snapchat wont work since snapchat can sense if you are rooted. I think there is a way around like that root cloak app but havent tried it out yet. Anyone find a way around ?

You can login to snapchat if you aren't rooted. If you are rooted and need to login just uninstall it through the supersu app.
This again. You won't be able to log in ONLY if you have xposed framework installed. It's not "sensing" root.
It's crashing because you probably are using a custom kernel with cb. Snapchat works fine with stock kernel.

I'm using stock everything, have never went custom on my OP3 and it crashes every time when I open it.

How can I uninstall snapchat from supersu?

SuperSu>Settings>Scroll down and look for full unroot
Do not attempt to restore stock boot.img. It will prompt you to, but click no and restart
So, yesterday I installed Lineage OS 15.0 and with that rooted my phone. The roms great but I'm facing certain difficulty with some apps. For e.g. Snapchat won't log in, Netflix doesn't appear in playstore which I think is also related to this.
I believe this is because of the root. Didn't know it would be such a big problem. Please give me suggestions and help me fix this.
Thank you
*Willing to unroot if that fixes the problem.
Did you root by SuperSU or Magisk?
SuperSU has suhide feature. Magisk has hide feature also.
Netflix not showing is definitely due to root. I don't use Snapchat, but that problem I believe is due to root, also. Rooting breaks a security feature called Safety Net, which is probably the cause if your issues.
Not sure if Lineage itself is enough to break Safety Net or not (some custom ROMs will break Safety Net). You can try to "dirty" flash Lineage (which will remove root) and run Lineage without root, and see if Netflix and Snapchat work. Then go from there (try suhide, or Magisk root and Magisk hide).
Hi guys,
Since the last few days my snapchat keeps getting temporarily blocked, I'm on a SM-G960F (Galaxy S9_9.0_JULYSecurity) rooted with Magisk and flashed with latest Ambasadii Rom(19.0). The first 3 weeks using snapchat with root & custom rom there weren't any problems at all. Can somebody help me?

A lot of people are having the same issue. Magisk Hide doesn't seem to work with the latest versions of Snapchat. No matter what you do you will keep getting locked out of your Snapchat account. I'm a bit of a NOOB when it comes to this stuff but here is what has worked for me so far. Firstly, you have to serve your penance. There's nothing you can do about that. My most recent ban was 2 weeks. When your access has been restored delete the Snapchat app. Download an older version of Snapchat from apkmirror.com and install it. Version 10.540.31 worked for me. **IMPORTANT** You must untick auto-update of the Snapchat app in Goggle Play. Hide the Snapchat app with Magisk and then hopefully you should be OK. It's only a workaround but it's the only solution I've come across that works. Having said that, it's only been several days but so far so good. If I get locked out again I'll let you know. Good luck.

Same issue here and Im on a SM-G960FD with lightROM v23 and magisk 19.3. I tried randomly with 10.60.5.0 but it didnt work. I will try with version 10.540.31 of snapchat when my 2 day ban is over.
It's been 2 weeks and Snapchat hasn't locked me out using my workaround. So far so good. :good::good:

Follow these steps to use Snapchat with magisk -
1.) Update to latest Magisk stable build v20.0 - https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.0/Magisk-v20.0.zip
2.) After updating magisk, Go to Magisk Manager > Magisk Hide and check/enable Snapchat and Google Services (all services have to be marked).
3.) Hide Magisk Manager by it self, go to Magisk Manager > Settings and "Hide Magisk Manager" so it will repack Magisk Manager with random name.
4.) Delete "busybox" binary from /system/xbin directory and install BusyBox module from Magisk Manager > Downloads.
5.) Clear data and cache of Snapchat, try to login this time, it will work for sure, if it doesn't, login to this and click unlock my account - https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/login?continue=https://accounts.snapchat.com/accounts/welcome
I have tried this myself and it works, my first main account was permanent banned on magisk canary build, After that I deleted that account :crying: and started out with fresh new account.
Tested on -
Samsung Galaxy S9+
Rom - Ultimate Rom v11.3
Magisk - v20.0 (Stable)
Kernel - ElementalX
Hi I rooted my tab s7+ sm-t970 but when I use magisk it give me a SafetyNetApi error it never passes can someone help me fix this. Thank you

I guess its possible. It's been a long time since I've rooted something. When I open the Magisk app it says install next to magisk and the same for app. I hit install and it goes through the processes but nothing happens. There's no other area to add modules or anything. Can we go start over and do it again without breaking something? I'm lost. lol
It also happens on One Ace and N10
Hopefully next version will fix it
I can use banking app but not netflix. I get the red warning at boot up so I figure I gotta be rooted. Maybe I'll try adding TWRP
EDIT:
Went to backup using TWRP and said my device isn't rooted. I give up. lol
There's a discussion about this issue. There's an error on API key.
You can get Safety net check from play store and see the actual results
Let me look for this thread because I don’t see a way to fix
Safetynet api error
Hello looking for help as I can't figure out what's wrong. I've tried downloading the code on only wifi and only mobile data and I still get the api error. I'm not running any add blockers. Using magisk canary.
forum.xda-developers.com
I'm about to become your favorite person ever, everyone! I am currently passing SafetyNet after flashing the kdrag0n safetynet-fix to my Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ SM-T970 and enabling the MagiskHide Props Config module in Magisk.
HOWEVER, as was the case with literally all of the stock-based ROMs for the Galaxy S8, it appears that there will still be issues with a select few apps. For example, you will get soft-banned from Snapchat every few days. Also, certain healthcare apps will still be able to detect root (likely all related to Knox, since a Pixel 5 rooted via the same methods will launch the same apps without issue).
All the best from your fellow tinkerer - Godless1
