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.

How to install Magisk v12.0 root, re-enable Samsung Health, and pass safetynet

sorry guys Magisk currently does not pass safetynet checks (24-06-2017) so this guide is a bit out of date but you can still use it, I will make another guide for this once magisk v13 comes out and fixes this problem
Hi guys! just a quick guide on how to install magisk, re-enable use of Samsung Health, and pass SafetyNet and be play store certified.
This guide will be pretty brief as i don't have the time or commitment to do an in-depth guide and I believe if you are here that you should know what you are doing (if anyone wants to make this in-depth, please be my guest).
this guide is for people who have tripped knox and still want to use s health while still getting the most out of their phone
You will need:
Odin:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862705230
TWRP for your device (you should be able to find guides with the download link)(you should also flash back to complete stock if you are already rooted to avoid any problems with previous roots)
no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424951049
Magisk v12.0:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Now that you have those 4 files we can start.
Skip steps 1-6 if you already have root and only wish to use samsung health
1. put magisk v12.0 and dm-verity patch onto the sdcard in the phone
2. flash TWRP using odin
3. boot into recovery and swipe to allow modifications.
4. under wipe there should be a button to format data (its in the bottom right). you will need to do this to flash magisk and dm verity.
5. flash Magisk and THEN dm verity
6a. boot into phone and complete setup to get to home page.
6b. download any systemless root app that you want (adaway works you just have to turn on systemless host files in magisk settings + viper4andriod has a module in magisk that you download for it to work)
(DO NOT TURN ON HIDE MAGISK UNTIL THE END)
7. download the app buildprop editor, open it and grant it root. search for the line ro.config.tima=1 and change the value from 1 to 0.
8. reboot the phone and you should now be able to use s health.
continue following if you wish to pass safetynet and be playstore certified (set up your root apps like viper and adaway before doing this)
9. go into magisk settings and enable the setting Magisk Hide. reboot phone. check that you pass safetynet in magisk manager after booting up again
10. go into app manager, find google play store, tap storage and then clear the data.
11. open app again and you should be certified. (this took me a few tries. not sure if it was play store needing to update the property or me needing to reboot the phone)
12. Yay! your device should now be able to pass safetynet and will be play store certified in the play store app. you should soon be able to see netflix in the play store again.
source: I done this on my a520 just on the weekend to be able to update netflix

I'll try this next update, thnx!

Does this require an external sd card?

Yes i believe so, although I have never tried doing it without

According to the XDA page of Magisk it already supports dm-verity and forceencrypt. So is the separate download of no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip still necessary?
Edit: What does the change " ro.config.tima=0" do?

oh i did not know that it supported it already so maybe its not? not sure, try it out and see what happens?
the config change make it so that the rom thinks you still have knox enabled to you are able to use samsung health still (it got a "security update" that makes it so that phones with knox tripped will not be able to use it)

Good to know ! Thank so much !
But what's the real possibilities of this recent "magisk" ?
It can root with systemless ?
And in theory with systemless-root ,that don't trip the knox and we can use all apps and full hardware ....because it consider that the system is safe and untouched ===> i'm truth or wrong ?

According to some other threads (and if I remember correctly from my own experience with the S7) Knox gets triggered as soon as you flash a custom recovery.
A positive effect of Magisk vs. SuperSU could be that system updates are still possible as the system partition is still unchanged. On the other hand the custom recovery will most probably cause the update to fail.
What seems to make Magisk superior to SuperSU is MagiskHide so that the system appears to be unchanged for PlayStore and apps using SafetyNet.

Thank so much for sharing Samsung experience
Before i have had olds goods samsung fully customised ! It was funny before ,at this time ....and then always have had LG phones and just an unlock of bootloader+Systemless root din't have problem at all (full playstore&experience)
Now with the samsung evolution and my new A5 ,i don't want at all loose OTA updates,knox flag.... and all functions+playstore as you have said . And magisk is recent...
I want to be sure at 100....0000% that "magisk" systemless root doesn't affect anything .
i'm not interested at all by TWRP ...completely useless until there eventually have "real" customs developments and many things can be flashed by flashfire,flashify....

I doubt that FlashFire or Flashify can flash anything without root. The website of FlashFire for example says "FlashFire is the most advanced on-device firmware flasher available for rooted Android devices.". And the same for Flashify: [APP][4.0+][ROOT] Flashify.

Hi, Im XxViRUsPRO.
1.You Need Magisk Manager (Removed Form PlayStore) So this is the Download Link https://mega.nz/#!olRzFRTZ!eNOb6yVtvsAlb3V8sIOaRRfsHtQG952_WU--3TCDvck
2.To Use S Health On Rooted Phone You Need To Edit /System/Build.prop
and Change ro.config.tima=1 to ro.config.tima=0 using (Es File Explorer or Root Browser)

Magisk hide not working for Banking apps.

So i have successfully intalled TWRP and Magisk 19.3, everything is stable however one of the 3 banking apps i use recognizes that the device is rooted and denies me access. in the U. S. i use the TD Bank App and the Chase banking apps, and for these two either Magisk hide works or they dont care the device is rooted because am able to use them without issue.
the troublesome banking app is Banco Popular from the Dominican Republic. it detects root and denies me acces. i tried enabling magisk hide on it and failed, i then added magisk hide to all systemsl apps but that didnt work.
Banks in the DR always have a huge wait time and a lot can be done with the banking app therefore i would like to use it to manage my finances. is there anyway i can make magisk hide work or edit specific files in the system to prevent a root check?
i would appreciate any suggestions or links to other tgreads explaining what needs to be done

You could try to install RiruCore (Magisk Module), EdXposed(Magisk Module), EdXposed installer, and Zuper (EdXposed Module).
Tick the apps u want to hide at Magisk Hide and Zuper. This works for me

[Q] XIAOMI.EU - inject adaway / Afwall+ before installation ?

Hi,
I bought a joyeuse and want to switch from stock rom to xiaomi.eu without rooting my phone - but I really miss adaway and afwall+
Netguard is nice but I would rather prefer to use both apps a system apps.
Is it possible to add those apps to the ROM as system apps prior to the installation?
Thanks
HiHiMan

I don't think you could do that since both those apps need root access and being installed as system app does not remove that requirement. What would be wrong with rooting your eu rom?

Why not just Adguard which has the functionality of both and better in every imagianble way without needing root?

Thanks, currently I am using NetGuard - but I am kind of missing adaway with hosts instead using VPN
Root and edxposed (e.g. fpr xprivacylua) is not comparable with banking apps.
After almost 10 years working with rooted phones I (at least I try) to to keep this one as "virgin" as could be...
EDIT: but in case I just want to temporarily root the phone, what would be the best solution?
- flash ROM
- flash TWRP
- install Magisk
- install Titanium Backup
- install Adaway as system app
- install adwall+ as system app
- uninstall Magisk
- install gapps
done? will I probably keep widevine L1 and pass SafetyNet??

Seems to be alright

I have no issues with Advised and all three banking apps I use, I still so no reason to use this method as there's no positives in comparison to Adguard.

Adguard doesn't require a rooted device. This is why you don't have issues with banking apps

Exactly, there's no need to root if you're using Adguard. But it does support root if you don't want to use it via local VPN.

How To Guide EASIEST method to unblock McDonalds app and many more

Hello everyone, after a long time of not being able to figure out on how to make the McDonalds app work on a magisk rooted phone with twrp + custom rom. I finally managed to do it.
I want to share my method with you, hopefully it will work for everyone.
At first, install the McDonalds app (If not already done).
1. Install app manager from play store
2. Force stop + clear cache
3. In magisk, enable magiskhide and follow the steps.
4. In the new magisk app. Select Systemless hosts
5. Also, enable denylist and add McDonalds to it.
6. Install Universal Safetynet Fix by kdrag0n from github.
7. After installing, the apps should work.
Good luck!

which version of magisk?

I don't know exactly, I am using the latest version. Should work on most versions that includes MagiskHide

Open magisk and it will shiw you what version you have

I'm using 25.2

can you show screen shot of your magisk and the magisk hide function, it is not in mine. i usually use magisk delta which does have magisk hide in it

Or just use the browser when ordering.

It still doesn't work I think they detect an unlocked bootloader even if you don't have root

I saw a module in Lposed that blocks root in the macdonalds app.
Thread '[MOD][XPOSED][4.1+] McRoot (McDonalds Global App)' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-xposed-4-1-mcroot-mcdonalds-global-app.4265069/

Hey, thanks for the "tutorial"! Kinda surprised that it works even on banking apps or it could be another thing that i tried before.
Edit: I think that you need LSPosed + Hide My Applist for the banking apps
