Hi there,
configuration: LG Nexus 4 ("mako") with lineage OS 14.1, root access
I have root access as it is very useful for many apps. Unfortunately, many banking and verfication apps do not work when root is installed. For some, google app store prevents installation, others cannot be used and a security warning is given.
Is there any chance to "pretend" root acess is not given, either to all apps or to some speficif apps?

You can try RootCloak. It is an Xposed module.

There are far too many files to make banking's apps flag and always ends in wasted time, it is far better to just use the banks main sites with a good browser.

Thats right, but I need the banking apps to generate TAN to verify the money transfer.

Thanky! That does not help. I tried different solutions.
I am now thinking about using dual boot. Otherwise I need to switch back to the normal rom.

Hello!
I have some basic questions about the security of rooted android devices. I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 actually on my SGS3. Of course I rooted it to install custom Recovery and ROM. So is there any possibility for an App to get Root Access without recognition?
I dont need the Root access anymore, I only wanted to install Cyanogenmod and thats it. What to do to fully unroot Cyanogen?
Another question:
If i have enabled "only install from trusted sources" am I safe? Or could there be sort of drive-by-downloads for example on this site sometimes i get the pop-up "your phone has (13) viruses, click ok ...".
Yeah thats it, I'm a little bit paranoid especially according to my passwords, are they safe!?
Thanks a lot and Greets from Germany!

You can't be unrooted and have CyanogenMod installed; that's an oxymoron. You can, of course, be unrooted without CM installed, but you can't have 'em both.

You're safe even without "only install from trusted sources" turned on. Just make sure not to install anything at all that you didn't specifically tell your device to install.

Unless you have an actual trojan or virus installed on your phone, your passwords are perfectly safe.
To check and make sure you're secure, download and install the avast! Mobile Security & Antivirus app from Google Play, and run a device scan.
Is there any possibility for getting installed without recognizing?
Can an app get Root permissions without giving them?

If you're not already, you need to use a Super User app like SuperSU (the best one). It allows you to grant/deniy apps root access. If it asks to grant/deny permission to an app that you didn't install or isn't a function of CM, or simply don't want to grant root access, then deny it permission.
EDIT: As Nookie said, you can't accidentally install something even if you allow installations of apps that aren't from "trusted sources". If you do install apps from non "trusted sources", just be smart about it.
is there anyone know how to root Huawei Union Y538 Root? i looked through xda but cant find anything thanks in advance.
I had partial success using King Root download for android. It rooted and successfully installed the king root su binaries, however Titanium Backup complained that this version of the SU binaries may cause trouble on Android versions higher than 4.2 (or something to that effect. My Union runs Android 5). Titanium backup was never successfully able to clear system apps or move apps from the user space to the ROM space. I attempted to use SuperSu-Me to replace King Root, but upon the script's completion and prompting to restart, the device completely failed to boot past the Huawei logo. Thankfully the device was still new enough that I was able to take it back to the store without question.
Your mileage may very, but be careful and take a backup of what you can.
Kingroot works fine. As for the moving of systems apps I wouldn't because the LOCKED bootloader and kernel check that on boot and will make the device boot loop permanently. (Or until fixed since it is just a soft brick)

Has anybody figured out a hotspot mod for this phone. It seems like other huawei phones got it to work by changing the msl, but I can't find a way to do it on the y538.

I would like to know this as well!
I successfully rooted with KingRoot. However, nothing seems to allow me to enable the native hotspot (build.prop edits, etc). Nor am I able to successfully broadcast or enable hotspot with any 3rd Party WiFi tethering apps, including FoxFi, Barnacle, or even paid WiFi Tether Router!
Any success stories or suggestions out there??
If not, does anyone know if the ZTE Speed or Alcatel OneTouch Elevate are native hotspot enabled or capable of tethering with 3rd party apps? I know the Moto E 2015 is native hotspot enabled and is somewhat easy to work with.
Thanks!
ZTE Speed has native hotspot. But i couldn't get it rooted.

I successfully got native hotspot by doing the following:
Root with KingRoot
Download Shortcut Maker (Lite) from the Play Store
Three dots on upper right -> Search... -> Search for cham -> Launch Chameleon Payload Maintenance (com.huawei.sprint.chameleon.ui.NodeCategoryListActivity) -> Allow root
Settings -> TetheredData -> Edit -> 4
I performed these steps but when I try to launch the Chameleon Payload Maintanance nothing happens.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

The only other steps I did on my phone:
my futile attempt at installing openchameleonnode apk. That one would always open to a blank screen and quit. (people mentioned it worked on various phone makers)
installing QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store because Shortcut Master (Lite) told me su not found. That one gave me a not enough permissions warning, so I decided to root.
Did you get a request by Shortcut Master for root? If not, maybe try one of the other Chameleon Payload Maintenance on the list (there were several)?

It seems that Purify was the one causing the issue. I went to general settings and disabled "Keep Root Access" and "Auto purify" and rebooted the phone.
After that I was able to launch the shortcut and make the change.
Thanks a lot for your help!
What provider are you using. I am on Boost. Will that allow me to use my unlimited data plan as a hotspot instead of the 8 gigabyte tethering
Purify had issues I think it's something with (zone-libentertainment).

Guys,
I would like to remove "Google Play Books" and "Google Play Games" but tried a lot of apps (Titanium Backup, Purify, ES File Explorer, NoBloat Free, Uninstall, Root FileManager) and none of them was able to remove them.
I'm no expert but It seems that "/system" is mounted as ready-only so I'm not sure how it would be possible to uninstall them.
Did you guys had any luck removing system apps after rooting with King Root?

I can send it to Purify`s recycle bin as well, but I cannot completely remove.
When I try to do it one of those two things happen:
1) I get a message saying that the remove fail.
2) I get a message saying that the remove was successful but the app returns to the list of installed apps.
Are you able to completely remove?
Thanks,

Install magisk 15.3 or whichever is latest and hide all the apps that don't require root in magisk hide, after that clear data of playstore and apps like tez etc. I used this method, it is working perfectly fine.

Is it safe to use banking apps on rooted device?
Yes it is safe to use banking apps on rooted device , if you're concerned about safety just don't install cracked apks or apps from outside other than playstore and use jio security or any such antivirus app
Simple method: you don't have to root the device. turn off play protect and find my device. You will get the OTP and you will be logged in. Then turn play protect and find my device on. (Tested only on Google pay. Don't know about BHIM).
May be because of unlocked bootloader

hi friend i was also faced the same issue , on my asus zenfone max pro m1 with pixel experience 10 plus and lineage os 16 and 17, using magisk couldnot help.
I've been struggling for a while now with getting a Romanian internet banking app (eToken BCR) to work on my Samsung Galaxy J3(2016) running RR-OS 5.8.5 // Magisk 17.1
I tried using several apps to hide the root and to uninstall magisk / remove root.
Basically the app tells me it can't run on rotted devices. I can't use it with or without root since custom rom :/
I guess there is one file containing the root check but the problem is I'm not even close to understanding coding and how the app works, I have no programing knowledge.
Can someone help me bypass this check? Or recreate the app without the root warning?
Thank you.

Magisk mask can be used to hide root
Alternatively, Xposed module "Root cloak" may also be helpful
Try one of these

Instead of installing the app on phone
Try installing on parallel space, 2 accounts, Dual space etc.

With latest Magisk (20.0) eToken doesn't detect root if you use Magisk Hide
Thanks to the guide created by pjottrr I successfully unlocked bootloader and rooted my device. Now I'm onto what I assume is the next step, which is to flash a custom rom via fastbootd?
Im aiming to 'degoogle' my device by getting rid of gapps and installing microG to substitute play services, though i'm not sure which custom rom is compatible with setting up microG.
Is there anyone here that can share their experience with a particular custom rom + microG integration? Or is there another method for what I'm trying to achieve

It isn't microG, but it does have FDroid app store baked in. It's a really solid ROM. The only glitch is with tethering. Tethering works exactly as it is supposed to but when you exit out it reboots the phone.

There are NO gapps in this ROM. FDroid is a non google app store. You should be able to install microg without having to remove anything.

Well all that's left now is to try and give it a go. I'll report back once it's completed!
Ive flashed the rom! No problems it seems so far. Now im trying... but not sure how to install microG. The aforementioned guide says to install magisk manager to install microG. Only problem is that magisks latest release notes claim that magisk manager is no more, that its already inside the latest apk, which I installed when rooting. So how do I install microG using the manager supposedly baked into the latest apk?
Edit: I was able to install microG successfully. I didnt know that custom ROMs came unrooted. I rooted it following the same steps as the first time and then I was able to easily flash the microG module in magisk with no issues.
Thank you so much to all the people on this forum. Im a total noob and seemingly was able to successfully accomplish what I was after, with very minor hiccups(that were caused by my noobness of course haha)
Guess I might have spoken too soon.. On microG the permission to access location in the background, and permission to receive SMS arent ticked in the self-check menu. Any ideas on how I could go about easily fixing this?

You should be able to just click on the items which arent checked and microG will ask for the permissions so you can grant them in the pop-up

Ive tried this but to no avail. Oddly enough, I made a 2nd user account on the same device and on there microG has all the permissions checked.
I installed it via the magisk module. Do you think it would make a difference to try uninstalling it and maybe try installing via the f-droid store?

I appreciate the tip, but this is for crdroid, I've already went with lineage and as of yet don't plan on switching to try something new. besides that, microG works fine on my 2nd user account which Ive switched to use and that I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread. And on my newly embarked journey to retain privacy and protect my data I've come to discover its better to use a second user account as your daily go-to account instead of your admin account which grants root permissions. My second use account doesn't have root permissions so in theory this should protect me better.
I guess what I thought was an issue with microG might have been a blessing in disguise since it's forced me to use it on my 2nd user account where all the permissions are granted and now I should be a bit more protected from root access attacks
