Hello everyone,
As I'm sure everyone knows, Niantic has blocked rooted phones from playing with the most current update 0.37. I'm wondering if anyone has been able to find a ROM that will work on our phones and we can install magisk to be able to play with the latest update. If not, is there any other possible solution to play with the use of magisk or without giving up root completely. I'm currently running PaulPizz and have not tried any of the possible methods I have found from fear of losing root permanently. I'm open to any suggestions or ideas.
Thank you.
Try going to the Samsung Note 4 international section.. I just flashed a Note 7 port to my wife's phone and it rocks..
Could you possibly link to which one? Is it this one? Xerrum525 N7 FullFramework PortedRom for SM-N910C / SM-N910H
Also did you use magisk with it to use pokemon go?

I'd like to know too.
What I did was install PaulPizz. Once it finished I deleted the SuperSU folder via TWRP.
It booted up fine, I still had the SU app in my drawer, I did full unroot via SU. I then flashed the uninstall for Xposed and now I can play pogo.
I Haven't been able to get Magisk to work... I get unable to detect boot image. I'm unrooted for now on PaulPizz and can play PoGo 0.37

I downloaded an older version of the app from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/niantic-inc/pokemon-go/.
I uninstalled the new version. Reinstalled the older. Ran fine. I've heard they'll force an update sooner or later but its good for now.
I also made sure to turn off auto app updated in settings.
I did find a solution using PaulPizz and magisk. It relatively follows most other tutorials. Plus I found a way to toggle magisk with tasker, if anyone is interested. I'll post a step by step tomorrow or possibly later tonight. Sorry to make everyone wait.
So this is how I got it work with PaulPizz ROM for Verizon Note 4 retail converted to Dev edition.
I take no credit for the creation of the files required for this install, but I kind of muttled my way through this installation and got the files from different posts so credit is to go to the creators of these files, I am just redistributing. If someone feels the need to take credit for these please feel free to let me know.
Make sure to download all apks and zips before and place on sd card before hand to save time. I have also included the uninstaller for magisk version of xposed if you would like, do not use this one during the installation of magisk to remove xposed though.
Only flash xposed and install apk if you still want xposed, if not you can skip those files.
1. Do a full backup of phone using TWRP
2. Go into SuperSU settings and do full unroot
3. Reboot into recovery and mount system partion
4. Go to advanced in recovery and select File explorer
5. Navigate to system and delete .supersu file
6. Flash xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm.zip and reboot system
7. Install pokemon go 0.37 and make sure it works at this point
8. Reboot into recovery again and flash Magisk-v6.zip, 1473968610260_phh-superuser-17-magisk.zip, and 1473980489208_xposed-v86.5-arm-alt-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip
9. Clear dalvik and cache and reboot system
10. After apps optimize install Magisk manager and Xposed Installer
11. Reboot and enjoy playing the new update. Just use Magisk Manager to turn root on/off at will before or after playing.
I'm going to create the tasker profile tomorrow and post instruction on that once completed to automatically activate Magisk when opening pokemon go.
If there are any questions, I will do my best to answer.

When are you getting that, when you flash the zip or install the apk? I'm guessing that's when you flash the included Magisk_6.zip. You are rooted using the retail to dev on an N910V model? I would maybe backup your current system and restore from before you unrooted and try again possibly.

Yes rooted from retaill to dev on a N910V and yea, I get that when flashing Magisk_6.zip.
I'm factory resetting the rom. Going to ensure I have root from PaulPizz. and then try again. Thank you.

Thanks again, it looks like the only difference was that I was on CPF3.r-2.
I tried going back to CPD1 and still no luck.
I appreciate you letting me know.
I used the Kyubi rom and uninstalled root with supersu and installed all of the magisk stuff and it works like a charm. All of the xposed modules work good too with the system less xposed. It takes a while to boot up after flashing magisk and clearing cache but worth it. The buddy system is pretty cool lol
Anyone else only able to MAYBE play on WiFi?

Well I have magisk installed but I dont know if the xposed went through entirely it says it flashed ok but according to the installer I don't have xposed installed? What's going on did I do something wrong
Did you remove the old xposed app after the flag and install the new xposed apk also? I think mine did the same, because I forgot to also install the xposed app after flashing the systemless xposed framework.
I was able to full unroot, delete the super su file in twrp. when I flash the Xposed uninstaller it removes the framework but leaves the APk in a form that I can't delete.
If I flash magisk and all the other stuff it goes through fine, but when I try to toggle root off in magisk it turns itself back on within a few seconds. I'm assuming this is because i didn't get Xposed all the way off?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help.
Magisk will refuse to unroot while xposed is still there in the system form. Even a piece of it.
Well now I got Xposed off using tibu before I unroot. Everything installed, systemless Xposed registered as being active, but when I try to toggle root in magisk I get the same thing with it turning itself back on. If I try to request root privileges from an app I am told i have no root.
Ideas?
I want to use the system less root so I can play Pokémon Go. Is there a way to remove root or do I have to be running a stock rom? I'm using the latest nightly of the regular Cyanogen Cm13.
Thanks
Isn't root enabled via settings? Maybe turn it off in the settings or reflash and don't enable root?
I tried that but the system is still seen as rooted

I can't get the supersu app to work. It wants to update and fails update. Updating through twrp creates a boot loop. Good idea though, thanks.

CM13 has it's own baked-in implementation of ClockWorkMod's SuperUser, not SuperSU. You can install SuperSU, but it will conflict. You'll first need to delete /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su, then you can "try" installing SuperSU, SUHide, etc..
1. install the latest version of TWRP for your device
2. boot into recovery and install SuperSU v2.78 SR1
-reboot system. open SuperSU and setup as normal
3. boot into recovery and install SUHide v0.54
-reboot system. open an app that require root to make sure your root is functioning
-try Pokemon Go. It should work fine
Do you need some sort of GPS spoof? You'll need Systemless XPosed and a good module
4. boot into recovery and install Xposed v86.2 - Universal Systemless (make sure you select 86.2 - you DO NOT need Magisk)
reboot system.
5. install Material Design Xposed Installer APK
-run XPosed Installer. it should show you are using 86.2 systemless
-click top left button and select download. search for a module called "Snorlax" and install the most recent version.
-this will hide your mock locations setting as well as show IV's, movesets, etc. of any Pokemon you encounter. it's all client side so no worries about bans!
-reboot system
-Test Pokemon Go. You should have no problems!
6. Need a GPS spoofing app? I use Fake GPS (well worth the $2.99). It allows you to pin favorite locations (I bounce quickly between spots where I can hit multiple lured PokeStops at once), and has settings to randomly move within a radius at whatever intervals and speed. They also have a GPS Joystick and Routes app that I have not yet tested since they don't offer a trial or free version. I'll update on that if they do offer a trial.
I have fresh installed CM13 on a Nexus 5, following the instructions above for systemless root + xposed. Pokemon Go v39.1 works without issue while spoofing GPS.
**UPDATE 10/7/2016 ** - edited to use updated suhide v0.54

Sorry took so long. This phone is slow as ballz! Everything appears to be working correctly though. I have Pokemon Go 39.1 installed (had to use apkmirror to install since it wouldn't let me from the Play Store on the S3), and am using Snorlax module to hide mock locations. I'm also using Fake Gps to spoof location.
I'd say it should work for you as well. What modules are you using? If you don't care about anything on your phone, wipe everything from recovery. Then under advanced, adb sideload CM13 and GApps Nano from opengapps.org (ARM/6.0/nano). Restart system and follow all the steps from there after you have the initial phone setup done.

Thanks for your help. I updated yo the newest nightly build, did a full factory reset and deleted the 2 su files. After rebooting i re-downloaded the newest version of Pokémon and installed it. Game is working fine.
I don't use root much so I'll see how it goes without root and if I need root i can put the su files back(I made copies and put them in Dropbox) or try superSU/hideSU.
I know the s3 is slow but I'm putting off an upgrade until i have to upgrade. Until i upgrade I won't really realize how slow my phone is

Going forward, I don't think the CM baked-in SuperUser is going to cut it. At least not the version in CM13. The specific versions of SuperSU + suhide I linked seem to pass all current checks though. So if you want root, go ahead and use them.

just wanted to chime in and say my own SGH-T999 is now running PG again, thanks to you FuNKSioN - so, thank you sir!!! wasted a LOT of time trying other solutions (mainly Magisk) with no luck, so i was pretty damned happy when your steps worked. first time i forgot to rename/delete the two su files, second time i did it immediately after flashing CM13 & GApps using ADB and then everything was fine. you rock!!! :victory:
and also, yeah - until Shack70 and i get a new phone, we have no idea what "slow as ballz" is! i will say, the S3 may be relatively slow but i have two backup batteries that take up very little space and are very easy to swap in and out.

Glad to help. I was in the same boat: so much info in all directions and none of it seemed to work. I keep up with ChainFire's G+ account. He had a few posts linked directly back to XDA. Those few posts had everything needed. I just put it in simple steps. All thanks to him really
Sigh
And now SafetyNet is failing and PoGo won't log me in. Is this really worth it?

reflashed CM13 + GApps, used ADB to rename system/xbin/su & system/bin/su to /su-off, and SafetyNet is happy (and thus, so is PoGo). but now, of course, phone isn't rooted.
---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------
on the plus side, CM13 comes with File Manager which allowed me, without root, to install the v39.1 PoGo apk that I downloaded last week.
Sit back and wait for an SU update... It's only been a hot minute.
I see so many posts with users having login failures using Rooted devices and some solutions which to me are more complicated than needs be. This is my two cents worth and may be of benefit to the community.
Here we go.
When you Root your device it triggers security issues within the Snapchat app and login fails.
Easiest solution for me is to flash a custom recovery (TWRP) and then download most recent SuperSU zip if not already done.
One rooted the issue of login to Snapchat occurs. Simply open SuperSU application, select remove root from within the menu of SuperSU App. Root access is then lost. Open Snapchat and login as normal and the Application detects no Root and gains login access. Keep the Snapchat application logged in and then reboot to TWRP recovery and flash the downloaded SuperSU zip file which was downloaded earlier. Reboot the device and there you go, a rooted device and a working Snapchat on your device. Takes very little time and seems to do the trick for me every time.
This to me is reasonably hassle free and saves the hassle of issues that many users experience.

Sorry for the noob question. How are you making a backup with Titanium without root? I'm not able to use the app unless I have root. I've tried Helium, but Snapchat seems to have blocked apps from backing it up.
I'm using an SM-G930FD on Nougat, so I don't even have access to the xposed framework, yet.

You need root. You should first login to snapchat app, then root, and take backup. Now, restore the backup everytime you flash new rom.

Well I can't root without wiping my phone. Using TWRP and wiping my phone is the only method for a G930FD on Nougat at the moment. I even have to wipe my phone just to install TWRP without root. So there is pretty much nothing that can be done. Xposed isn't on Nougat and Titanium backup won't work because I'm unable to obtain root without wiping.

I am rooted... There is no way for me to back up snapchat while rooted, because I have to reformat to root. Which wipes my data. Making it impossible for me to use titanium backup to create a backup of snapchat, the only thing I can back up is the log in screen, because I can't root without losing data.

Ah. I just waiting till it was time to flash a new update again, and started without root. Logged into Snapchat, rooted and then backed up by Titanium.
Last weekend I ended up using Magisk instead of SuperSU and that way I didn't have to restore Snapchat and could log in with a rooted phone.

I'm confused with this. if you're rooted, why do you have to format to root again? Are you able to login to Snapchat?
If not, uninstall it. Try using magiskmanager and doing the hide feature before logging in. If you try activating anything after you open the app you going to run into problems.

In order to obtain root on my hone (Galaxy S7 Duos) I need to reformat my device due to the way Samsung encrypts there new devices. If I don't reformat then my phone won't allow SuperSU to mount. Re-formatting the device allows me to mount SuperSU before the device encrypts itself.
I looked into Magisk, I've been using it for awhile (for the double speaker mod). Trying to use the Hide feature I get a pop-up saying "Not using MagiskSU ... It's not officially supported,". I tried logging into Snapchat after that but I still get the same problem

Ah. I just waiting till it was time to flash a new update again, and started without root. Logged into Snapchat, rooted and then backed up by Titanium.
Last weekend I ended up using Magisk instead of SuperSU and that way I didn't have to restore Snapchat and could log in with a rooted phone.

What phone are you using? I'm using an S7 Duos, which requires the device to be reformatted before obtaining root, due to Samsung's encryption. Not sure if that encryption thing is just the stock ROM, I've download a few other ROMs so hopefully I don't get the same problems.
Can't log in to snapchat. Rooted s7. No Xposed. I have magik app. Can't find the tick to su hide. My Snapchat account is locked..I unlock it then it immediately locks again when trying to log in..

Try flashin Universal SafetyNet Fix Beta 5 and it will be ok with snapchat. Them go to the menu and you should see the Magisk hide option. Then find and check Snapchat to be hidden. Open the app and in theory you should be ok to log in.

Thanks I'll give it a try!
Hi.
I have a question regarding how supersu installs on LineageOS.
I recently flashed LineageOS ROM over OnePlusOne cyanogenMod.
With the help from members in Q&A forum I successfully flashed supersu.
Upon completion, the settings in Developer Option showed 2 options for Root access.
1. ADB-only 2. Disable (see screenshot). I selected adb-only. Installed root checker and Titanium backup and was able grant root permission and execute Titanium bkup.
I was under the impression, you must choose (adb and apps) for root access, but as you see on my screenshot that option is not available.
(Q): How did I get supersu root access for apps using adb-only?
Installation Performed:
After several failed attempts trying to install supersu, I went to my original TWRP backup and did a full restore of LOS and GAAP.
Copied supersu zip from PC to Phone internal storage, selected, Install and rebooted. (did not wipe).
When finish, selected adb-only (as I stated above) and supersu worked. (see screenshot).
I am aware there is a LOS extras patch available to install, having Root access (adb and apps) option, but I cannot understand why it worked with the option I choose.
Does LOS have an internally supersu root (all) flag built in their release that can be triggered by adb-only? I tried selecting adb-only and failed having Sultans LOS zip installed, before doing a full TWRP restore of my files as a last option.
The LOS build I used was 14.1-201707703-Nightly bacon.
The Supersu I installed was Update-Supersu-v2.82-20170528234214.
Thanks.
TC.
@tomx2x
I prefere LOS's addonsu.
Out of interest, why SuperSU? Have you given Magisk a try?

Mostly looks like solutions for problems which I don't have as long as I don't install magisk.

Some people prefer Coca-Cola, others prefer Pepsi. The nice thing is that there are choices, and we can use whatever solution we like (I use SuperSU, myself, as I've not encountered a situation where I'd need Magisk).
My preference is beer. But in AEX they only served that brown lemonades.

Did you try to run SuperSU without adb-only? I think, these buttons are only beer bottle openers for addonsu. Thy have no effect on your lemonades. AEX has no built-in opener at all.

Well there's modules, and the fact that it's open source whereas SuperSU is not. If Chainfire still owned it, I'd worry less, but I'd want some transparency behind a third party application used to handled root access on such a personal device.
I'm not suggesting that CodingCode is doing anything dodgy with SuperSU, but it does give me peace of mind using something open.

Did anyone try the open source alternative pph's SuperUser?
Looks like the LOS addonsu is open source: https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/project:LineageOS/android_system_extras_su

phh's one was good, yeah
The LOS one works fine too, as you'd imagine. That's the one I'm currently using, but if I need to use Android Pay (on some weekends I do make use of it) then I'll switch over to Magisk.
Hey everyone!
I will hopefully be receiving my OP5T within a week and I'm wondering what should my process be like when I get it.
I'm currently using OPX and will need to therefore customize the phone and transfer files / settings.
So I'm wondering.. How should I start setting up? I think I've read somewhere that I should unlock bootloader and install custom recovery ASAP so I won't delete files later. Should I update OS before rooting or not? (if the update is available) Or should I just install ROM and then update the ROM?
Now I'm an average user, but I still did root my OPX, because the support and development is better on custom roms IMO. So I think I'll root 5T also.. But still haven't decided to which ROM. (I really want best software app, working slider, good SOT time, etc)
So..:
- How should i start when I get my phone? I Think I've read somewhere that I shouldn't even log in my google account.. that I should just start opening bootloader and installing TWRP.
- What are your ROM recommendations for simple, working, effective ROM?
I went straight ahead with unlocking the bootloader and root. If you're going to do it, might as well do it first thing so you don't have to worry about setting up again.
It's been a great replacement for my Nexus 6. I'm sure you will enjoy the phone.
Congrats on getting a 5T. They're excellent phones.
There is some confusion in your questions about unlocking the bootloader and root. Do you actually need root? Having a custom firmware installed doesn't necessarily require root access.
To get everything moved over nicely, here is what I recommend:
Unlock the bootloader of the 5T and install the latest TWRP recovery and whichever custom firmware you prefer. This will get the factory data reset out of the way early on.
To get the apps and all their data moved over, I would recommend installing Magisk v16 for root access and use Titanium Backup to backup the apps on the OnePlus X, move those backups up to Google Drive or whatever cloud solution you prefer, and pull them down on the 5T and restore.
At this point you should decide whether or not you want to keep Magisk installed for root access or not. It's really your choice. Magisk hides root pretty well and will allow you to use Netflix, Google Pay, and play PoKeMoN Go without having to trip SafteyNet and root checks.
Easy theming with Substratum and continuing to do backups with Titanium Backup would require root to stay around, so I would recommend hanging onto it.
As for firmware choices, I highly recommend OmniROM simply because it's AOSP based and has great stability, battery life, feature set, development team, and weekly updates. I've been using it as my daily driver since late December and keep going back to it after trying the other firmware options available.
1- unlock bootloader
2- flash recovery codeworkx twrp recovery
3- choose one: If you want face unlock, update to oxygen OS 5.0.4 OR if you play pokemon Go, want to find a suitable wife, or want control over what apps start on boot update to Oxygen OS 4.7.6
4- flash magisk
5- go to downloads in magisk and install the magisk manager recovery module, you need this in case you get into a bootloop for a super easy way of undoing the bootloop in recovery.
6- disable and uninstall updates for the youtube app. Install termux app, install greenify, install joneplus tools.
7- Install the following magisk modules via the downloads section: viper4android FX, Youtube Vanced, BusyBox, App systemizer
8- if you are on Oxygen OS 4.7.6 install Xposed framework SDK 25 module for magisk OR if you are on oxygen OS 5.0.4 install Xposed framework SDK 26 module for magisk
9- download this magisk module to disable chinese government data collecting: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...s-disabler-t3686636/post74614087#post74614087
10- Download the following xposed modules: Amplify, Minminguard (do not use apply all, you will break the phone. Block ads on an app by app case. Do not block youtube), oneplus applock tweaker (only if you are on Oxygen OS 5.0.4), fake my GPS (only if you are on oxygen OS 4.7.6), BootManager (only if you are on Oxygen OS 4.7.6), Oxygen slider (found on google play instead of xposed repo), xprivacylua. Enable greenify in xposed
11- download xda labs
12- Go into magisk and enable systemless hosts. Then, from xda labs, install adaway and youtube downloader.
You're all set, have fun!
I unlocked BL and installed custom recovery even before signing into Google acct. This is a very acceptable replacement for the N6

That is what I was thinking, as I know from rooting my OPX that once you do it, you lose previous data.
In that case, I should do that with the OS version I get on default on my OP5T and not update first right?
I think I had Magisk before on my OPX, but never got it after a certain update.. I do remember it had a bunch of cool modifications available. I also have a titanium on my OPX, so that will be much easier.
How's the camera on OmniROM? Or should I still just install google camera apk?

If I undestand correctly, this basically leaves me on official OS, but with added functions from magisk?
If that is the case, why do you prefer it, over installing custom ROM and that adding those magisk modules on top?
