Any way to hide root from specific apps?

Since rooting my 3XL, I've found several apps that detect root and will no longer work. I can live without them and work around it, but it's annoying. Does anyone know if there is a way to hide my root status from these apps? I've found mentions of some xposed modules that do this, but I'm apprehensive about trying them out quite yet.

In Magisk look for Magic Hide. Open it up and check the box next to the app. You have to be on a newer canary bild for it to work.

Thanks. I'm not sure how to tell which build I'm using, I'm using whatever was in the Root thread https://www.xda-developers.com/google-pixel-3-unlock-bootloader-root-magisk/
I'm assuming im not using the Canary build since I didn't see that module. Mind telling me how to check or update?

You should be ok on that version. Give a try.

I don't see the module you referenced. There is Shellhide that says it's an alternative to Magisk Hide. In Magisk settings there is Magisk hide but it's just on or off, and was already on. So if that's it, it doesn't work for my purpose.

There are some apps that Magisk cannot hide from. This is my first Android phone that I have decided not to unlock the Bootloader on it. I am fine with stock, and don't need what root has to offer. Besides I like being able to use Android Pay and not have to play Cat and Mouse upgrading Magisk every time Android catches up to it.

Yes, I meant inside Magisk. If you have the check box next to the app checked and it is still finding it you are probably out of luck. Some apps are not fixable.
You can also go in settings and hit hide Magisk manager. That sometimes helps.

Workaround for Magisk + Bank apps

Hey guys.
I would like to ask you, if it's possible to use bank apps + root on this device?
I tried it yesterday several times and couldn't get it to work. On my previous phones if worked perfectly.
What I did:
- unlock OP7T
- root with self-made Magisk patched boot
- hide Magisk Manager itself
- hide the bank app
It worked even yesterday on my other phone, before I switched to 7T.
I'm wondering why it doesn't work on 7T and maybe there is some fix for it?

What happens when you try the bank apps? I've used several (US Bank, Chase, Discover, etc.), and haven't had any issues

It could be detecting another root app or even a folder associated with a root app (Pokemon Go does this with the Magisk Folder). Start digging through your storage to see if there's anything that might be root related.

Try restoring Magisk Manager via Settings and hide Magisk Manager again.

Did that too. But something doesn't work correctly.
Rootchecker says I'm rooted and also magisk says installed. Also the apps have root rights in magisk. But root doesn't work lol.
I have completely uninstalled magisk and reflashed it again. Root works now. But magisk hide is broken. Maybe OxygenOS is the reason.

Oxygen os cant be the reason when its working for everyone else....start everything again afresh. Something you are messing up...i would restore the phone with msmdownload tool to be sure everything is back to normal then start everythung again

Yep I thought the same to start with MSMTool.
I never used OxygenOS also on the other OnePlus devices. That's why I thought there is something wrong with it.
BTW which version of magisk do you guys use?

Here it works great. Have hide my bankapp in magisk, than repack magisk have give it the name "funny" now my bankapp works great. I use the latest Canary magisk

chase mobile app workaround for rooted devices

Oasis feng has an early release of his app island
It isolates the banking app from your phone enough that the app does not detect that your phone is rooted the new version of the Chase mobile app even with root cloak and other methods still detects that your phone is rooted and after multiple attempts to make it work this was the only one that was successful
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island
I'm not a developer not getting anything for promoting this app it just works and it's free and enabled me to get my banking app on my rooted device
I used to use this app until it wasn't working with the latest revision of Android but it works perfectly fine again and my previous use was to have two game accounts on the same phone running at the same time that I now use another app called multiple accounts that lets me run as many instances of the same app as I want but does not isolate it from your phone

Magisk pretty much does all the work. I have it selected for Magisk Hide but I don't know if I did that or Magisk did. Also, I beleive Magisk will hide the unlocked bootloader automatically. Not 100% sure but basically, it's all done through Magisk. And Chase works normally.

Yeah its amazing how far Magisk has come since the last time I used it on a Huawei back in Magisk 12 days. Its so seamless and easy now to install modules and they just, work! its a real pleasure being rooted now especially on the OnePlus.

To everyone saying Chase is working normally just with Magisk hide: have you tried scanning/depositing checks? Mine works fine but detects root when I try to deposit.

Same here.

I think Chase Bank should mind their own business.

I can use and get into Chase but I cannot get biometrics login to work. I'm passing SafetyNet and using DenyList on Chase. Chase is somehow still detecting root.

Same here. All my other banking and credit card apps work with fingerprint. Not Chase. Have tried uninstalling, removing saved data, and reinstalling to no avail. And yes it is in magisk hide. Really frustrating. I hate companies trying to tell me how secure I should be.

The latest update broke biometrics. For now, use v4.271.

I ran across the solution. Try using magisk module Shamiko. Works great so far!
Shamiko v0.4.4

This worked for me. Thanks @Chance Ill ! Only after i upgraded magisk did it work. Had to turn on zygisk in magisk settings and turn on enforce deny list. Then configure deny list and add app to it. Worked. Not sure if it was shamiko that did it or the other settings within magisk. I'm just happy to have it working and hope this info helps someone.

It's definitely the module. All of the above was already enabled on my device prior to using shamiko. Only then was root not detected. Either way, glad I could help!

Thanks. Shamigo worked for me.

I had no problems getting the basic app functionality to work while rooted on my OnePlus 8, but it would NOT allow biometric sign-in. I assumed that it was detecting the unlocked bootloader, because YASNAC gave me the all clear

Question Banking apps on rooted Pixel 6/Pro?

Hello everyone,
I haven't unlocked my P6P's bootloader or rooted yet, but have read that banking apps won't work after rooting/unlocking the bootloader.
Does anybody use Monzo and can confirm the app doesn't work? Also, do you think they'll find a solution to this issue any soon?
Thanks a lot!

Monzo won't work if device is rooted. Magisk used to have the Hide feature but I'm not sure if it's still working as I no longer root.
Many apps like banks or GPay also won't work if SafetyNet is tripped, again something MagiskHide used to be able to mask.

Yes all working here gpay, Banking apps and so on. Just use the guide for rooted and safety net pass here on xda. And additional do one thing:
Install Airfrozen app from Playstore,
Freeze magisk app in Airfrozen that's it all will work, if you need root just unfreeze it again use your root stuff and freeze again

All banking apps working for me...rooted.. without safetynet fix...

This is not Pixel 2 forum lol

Thanks for heads up! Just fixed the title
And thanks everyone else for your replies! Good to know it's still possible to use banking apps, though with some tweaks.

This guide has all you need: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/working-safetynet-with-pixel-6-pro-android-12.4354149/
Basically as long as you hide the Magisk app, and use the USNF module (latest Zygisk version is available for free now), you should be golden with most banking apps - just add them to the exception list.

anyone able to get fingerprint working with the Chase and Amex apps? both of these were fine, but now they won't let me unlock with fingerprint. running the latest Canary with 2.2 USNF

I got chase working fine. I made sure chase was in deny list then cleared chase data/cache. Reboot. I uninstalled magisk app then was able to get fp to work. Even works after I installed Magisk app again.

when you added the Chase app to the deny list, did you select both entries under it or just the default one?

Both

I didn't have to deny a single thing for GPay or Chase.
Install Magisk alpha. Enable zygisk. Install newest zygisk-based Universal SafetyNet Fix. Confirm that YASNAC shows you passing. Done.
There's no need to do exotic stuff but it's best to do this before ever trying your apps to avoid having to clear their storage.

Monzo does work on a rooted device. Starling doe not.

Question Rooted/Custom Rom and use Work apps

Hi, y'all.
So I have just updated to the new A12 ColorOS on my Op9pro, and I really don't like it. I browsed this forum and found Paranoid was making a rom for the OP. Is it then possible to run this rom without getting a message on for an example MS Teams that my phone is rooted? Last time I tried with an other rom, with magisk hide - I encountered this problem.
Thanks!

Try derpfest it is very good. And yes you can use magisk 24 and configure denylist to hide root access

You will be almost good to go with Magisk DenyList + Universal SafetyNet Fix. I'm using these with DerpFest and all of my banking apps have no complaints whatsoever
The reason why I use "almost" is because some banking apps have their counter measures so im not sure, but at least banking app that I'm using are all passed and good to go with these two.
