Any way to hide root from specific apps? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

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.

Specific Variant of Xposed works on Qualcomm's Perry ( APK Link in OP)

https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....ed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268/amp/
The thing is.... I went to the app to get the program and Magisk wouldn't install the program on it's end. Took a shot and installed the apk (SDK 25), then installed the 88.1 version shown in the picture (now 88.2) rebooted and waited to "upgrade" itself.... But here it is plain as day. I'm not saying you may get it running on yours but it worked for me. Happy testing y'all,
SykkNyzz
And apparently Gravity Box for Nougat just came out 2 days ago at the time of this post.
Just ticked to center the time. Perfecto.
Reboot and such work as well
Nav Bar as well (note swapped buttons and added menu)
Even the Expanded Desktop works.
I can't get any modules to install in magisk on this phone. Tried systemless Xposed and nothing. How did you install it?
That looks like system install. Systemless usually says it like in this screenshot.
Did you install magisk with the zip in recovery, or modified boot.img? Systemless Xposed would be nice, hoping to get working on mine.

I couldn't use the Magisk even to this moment. I just used the apk listed above and did it that way

OK. I got system install working on mine too. Yours looks like system install too, not systemless. The xposed app downloads normal system install. You should change the name of the thread since it's not actually systemless. Just to avoid confusion.

Well, the app itself from the website is stated as such. As where I can see where you are coming from. Thank you for the heads up.

I can't get any magisk modules to work either, I was genuinely hoping you had it here. I've noticed you're pretty active in the forums for this phone.
Glad you showed xposed working, it helped me decide to try it.

Got Canary working, can't update build prop?

Wanted to do the old hotspot trick (net.tethering.noprovisioning=true) but the build prop won't save. Any ideas?
Also trying to load adaway in data/hosts and data/data/host fail.
But magisk modules will install and work.
Search on XDA for Tethering Enabler for Magisk. It's working for me not sure about Adaway.

Regarding adaway, make sure you set "systemless hosts" mode in Magisk settings. Not sure of the exact name of the setting at the moment as I do not currently have Magisk installed...
I wasn't able to get /system rw which limited options on enabling tether.
Adjusting magisk for systemless hosts worked fine for me but I was never able to get tethering working on q. I went back to 9 until things smooth out a bit.

Huh. I'll have to keep it in mind if I try to re enable tether after an OTA. I managed to find a guide that worked by setting it in terminal.

Oddly enough I couldnt get any of that to work. Until I installed busy box and installed the system less host module via magisk.

As for tethering I got it working cherry! I can't find the exact guide I found but this is the same. Had to install busy box and whatnot but, it worked. Found this guide on XDA but this link has the same steps. Be warned though, 4 isn't "add new/custom", for me, I had to press 5 not 4. https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to-enable-native-tethering-on-rooted-pixel-3-3xl/
Not sure what tether_dun_required 0 does. But it worked like a charm and persists after reboot now.
Thanks everybody, got it all working now. Couldn't have done it without ya!
What is the name of the system less magisk module you installed so I use the right one.

Click the systemless option in the Magisk settings. It will install the correct module for you.
I did that is just causes a pop up that says added systemless host module. Adaway still gives me a syslink error?

You need to reboot after that and then enable Adaway.

This worked perfectly. Adaway is my favorite piece of software. Thank you. I had also installed busybox, based on an earlier comment. Not sure if that was necessary.

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.

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

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

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!
Should be fine with Magisk Deny list and hiding Magisk application

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.
