Magisk and Snapchat on sense based rom - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Hide Root, Pass Safety​ net, feature just like Magisk Manager Root Hide

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.

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.

Prevent files, flashed through TWRP, being replaced by stock one, without root.

I have a Oneplus 5T and i'm struggling to install a google camera fix patch for my device but in the same time keep my phone root-free because i use a bank app called "BT pay" which detects magisk even with magisk hide, even with magisk manger hidden/uninstalled, i tried many times, can't get it done with root.
I keep tried to install TWRP (even if it being replaced by stock recovery evey boot) and install my gCam fix zip from there. but it seems like those files are replaced by stock files TOO...
I also tried to prevent TWRP from being replaced by deleting "install-recovery.sh" from /system/bin but this didn't work either.
Note that i have the official rom (oxigenOS beta 15) for my phone (official kernel too) which have Treble support, (the TWRP/gCam fix are also treble versions).
I take it you were using the MagiskHide Props Conifg Module right with Magisk 17.1? That is the only way you will pass Safety Net. Does your banking app still not work like that? (With a certified fingerprint)

Question How do you hide your root-state?

Hello!
I have a Realme GT Master Edition, running Android 13 under RUI4.0
I rooted the stock rom with a patched boot.img by Magisk and without TWRP. (stock recovery)
So far so good...
My question is now how i can hide that my phone is rooted? There are some apps (for example banking apps or netflix app) that doesn't work because my device can't be trusted if it is rooted.
Magisk hide is not existing for newer devices. I googled it and can't find a working solution that i can trust.
Do you have a suggestion or if your phone is rooted how do you hide it from these apps?
What are Modules in Magisk? Maybe there is an option for this or a sort of expansion to install?
The most apps that look up the root state just warn me that my device is rooted but work as normal. (So it is no problem if there is no solution, I just don't want to see that warning everytime i start an app)

Thanks, this is working for me. Not in every App, but the annoying warning in the Banking app is gone.
Other apps seem to have problems connecting to a server. - But I don't really need that apps.
