Hello world, amazed by how many people gave been helped by this site, I decided to make a post so I can find a solution..
I own a Samsung galaxy s6 and it's rooted with TWRP app and I have installed sulersu right now. So I wanted to play super mario run on my device but suddenly an error popped up which I looked for and found out that it's caused by my root. The first solution that I found on the internet was to install magisk mask and hide the root for the specific app. However in the installation guide I saw some weird stuff like uninstslling your root and stuff. I want someone to guide me and if not install magisk, at least play Mario run somehow.. Thanks in advance

I don't use Magisk but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Magisk Support thread.

Hi ibuprophen. Thanks for your reply. Despite the magisk solution.. Do you know any other way to make super mario run work on a rooted phone? I probably have to ignore root on the specific app. Thanks in advance

Install Xposed framework and RootCloak
Do I have to do anything different? I mean that I have installed supersu at the moment. And I rooted my phone via twrp.. What's the steps to install those apps.

Install Xposed Installer app, it is not available in play store, so Google it.
There would be an option to install the framework in the app.
Click it.
It may take a while to download necessary files.
Once downloaded and installed, it will ask for permission to reboot.
Grant it, press the reboot option.
It may take a while for your phone to reboot.
After your phone reboots, open Xposed Installer and go to Downloads option.
Search for RootCloak there and install it.
After installation, you have to reboot your phone again.
Open RootCloak after reboot, there would be an option "Add/Remove Apps".
Select it.
In the new window, select the "+" icon and select the app you want to hide root from.

Downloaded worldpay.apk available from their site. I have a rooted sanei n10 and updated ICS os. Anytime I try and open app it says ' the operating system of this device has been modified. Due to credit card security measures this app has been disabled' or a message very similar to this. I know some people had similar issue with barclaycard pingit but the fix for that doesn't work in this case. Ie install superSU, uninstall superuser, install hide my root. Hide my root always fails to hide su binary and says there is no su app to hide.
Need a fix that works for this ASAP.

I wish you luck with it, but unfortunately this is not the proper place to ask about that. Please use our Q&A forums for asking questions and kindly post a follow up in our Android Forums for others who may run into the same issue.
edit: If you're using super su try having it hide it/temp unroot and then wipe app data for worldpay. That should do it.
I'm in need of some kinda urgent help and advice regarding a phone i have just purchased for my mother.
I've bought her a cheap Daxian TD888 on the MTK6589 chipset and i'm afraid i have been a silly boy and not done my research before purchasing - I was under the impression that it came with the Play Store installed etc and sadly, it comes with a hard to use chinese ROM.
Mothers being mothers, mine isn't anywhere near tech/phone friendly and this is her first smartphone (upgrade from a 6 year old Nokia/symbian brick) so i was wanting to get her onto a nice and simple stock android 4.1 or 4.2 or even a CMxx that i can just help her along with.
After some very panic based searching today, i'm not seeing much that can help me... infact... nothing regarding this phone at all.
So... have I been a dumbass and bought her a lemon or is there anyone that can help me out with advice or pointers on how to get a normal android ROM on this thing?
I'm not massively experienced with rooting but have managed it a couple fo times in the past on my old Nexus One.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I could probably help you get it rooted and that would allow you to install Play store on it as well as delete any chinese apps that sometimes come on the MT65XX devices if interested. As far as the rom goes, is there not an option in settings to change language to English? I have bought a few MediaTek devices directly from china, when I received the phone it had english on it already but when I reset the phones I would have to go into Settings and change chinese language back to english.
Motochopper should root your phone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252248
One thing with these phones is that the android version is not always what is shown in Settings > About phone. Try using this tool from the first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160490&styleid=18
make sure you enable USB debugging on your phone first and it will help tell which version of android you are really running. If kernel say 2.6.xx you are on GB 2.3, if it is 3.0.xx then you are on ICS and if it says 3.4.xx then you are JB. I bought a MT6575 that said android version 4.0 in settings, it said gingerbread 2.2 on the box (I know 2.2 is Froyo), then on bottom of box it said Froyo 2.2!
Thanks Klown80 -
I'm just into work now so I'll have to hook it up to my own PC and root when i get home later... i'm just in full on panic mode over this (its a time sensitive issue as she's due to be in hospital for an extended period and i want to get this right for her before then)
Regarding the language settings in the current/stock rom, it has english US selected and while a lot of the language is in english, pretty much ALL popup dialogs are in chinese and the browser is unusable (all chinese text based) so... hence the panic.
I was (foolishly) thinking it would just be a simple enough flash to CM or stock android and hey presto - full english ROM.
I hate it when i don't do my homework first.
So... you recommend the root first, check exact android version number and go from there?
Even if it turns out to be an older 2.1/2.2/whatever version, i'd be happy enough to get something stock and full english based on there if its possible.
As she's never had a smart phone, it will all seem super smooth and flashy to her anyway.
I have now rooted (i think..) however, the superuser app comes up with an error upon opening -
superuser binary (su) must be updated
and i now i'm kinda stuck.
I have downloaded and tired various versions of the play store and while the at first allow me to enter google accounts details, it always crashes after that.
Every time i open the play store app, it just closes again.
Any suggestions on where i might be going wrong?

Sounds like you need to update the binary then, if it allows you. If not then the root did not correctly root your device and we will have to go back a step and get that fixed first. As for Play Store, it usually takes more than just the Play.apk file to put Play Store on your device if it did not come with it stock. You also need (I am going off top of my head, I can give you exact names later) Google services framework.apk, Google login services.apk, Google Play services.apk. You need to have root to to this because you will need to move the vending.apk to /system folder and possibly change permissions on the apk before you install it. Once we can confirm root I can help you install a working Play Store if you like.

I've no idea how to update the binary so I guess i'm looking at a re-root.
I have had the usual issues of drivers not wanting to work (the Motochopper root process getting stuck at the daemon starting point) but I've manged to get the process to work twice so far.
(I've tried 4 different driver packages and they have all given the same results)
Could you possibly advise on how to update the binary file for superuser? I've just tried the root again and it skipped installing superuser as it was already found on the phone.. i haven't felt this noobllike in some time!

Try uninstalliong Superuser or SuperSU and try again. Su binary should ask you if you want to update when you first open SuperSU, if you have Superuser, then you will need to open the app and go into settings to update binary.

It was aksing to try and update etc but its chashed every time - I was thinking that the root hadn't worked properly or something... anyway, I've uninstalled Superuser and reinstalled from a newer apk file (v3.2) i downloaded.
Its now running ok. Now that superuser is working... whats next?

Ok, is it just Superuser and not SuperSU correct? Can you go into settings in Superuser and towards the bottom there should be an option to update su binary. If it is SuperSU it will ask to update on its own when you open it. either way make sure it lets you update binary. Once binary is updated download and install any app that asks for root acces, so we can see if superuser request pops up.
Once we have confirmed root we can move onto installing Play Store. To do this you will need to be able to install a file explorer like ES file explorer so we can install the files we need for working Play Store.

In the superuser settings, there isn't anything apparent for trying to update the su binary.
the list reads as follows:
Security
Apps List
Log (on)
Notifications (on)
Backup apps/preferences

HUGE thanks to Klown80 for the advice and patience!
For anyone else in a similar situation with an MTK6589 cheapo phone, and had issues with the Motochopper root method (the root getting stuck at 'daemon started successfully' etc etc.....
Klown80's chinese root tool works a treat. You will have a chinese superuser app that may be a little annoying (you might be able to swap it for SuperSU or something but I had issues doing that so i've kept the chinese one) but the root works perfectly and the instructions given by Klown80 in the linked thread are very easy to follow.
I still had some issues with getting google services installed so you may want to look for a play store installer workaround - I know there is a cheeky little chinese mod apk that can be used to get the play store working, but i can't post it here.
Should anyone come across this thread and know of a good, stock english rom that I might be able to use, please leave a comment!

You can get around it by using the root cloak xposed module. I don't think Softcard will work while rooted either but I could be mistaken about that.
I found a genie go apk but didnt work either. Obvious my search skills suck. Could you like me to what you are talking about?

Their site is experiencing slow response time, so just be patient.
Once you dl the apk and install it will ask to enable it in Xposed, then you'll reboot and be set once rebooted-

I never installed the su binary. I just rooted and renamed the apk. Is that good enough? I want to do as little as possible in regards to screwing with system files.
You need to install the binary just install SuperSU from the market. Then install findmyroot. It actually temp unroots on the fly just go back in when your done with the app that doesn't like root. Click the button and your rooted again. Super simple even a trained monkey could do it.

Why do you need root? It sounds like you don't want to mess with your phone or install stuff. That's what people usually do when they get root.
If you really want to keep root, then you have already been given the best, easiest, and safest solution to your question. Install the XPOSED framework (http://repo.xposed.info/) and then install the RootCloak module (http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak).
Hi I'm 16 and new to the whole rooting thing. I just rooted my phone yesterday for the first time and everything seemed to go perfectly. Everything works so much faster and my phone looks so much nicer with the new customization features. I'm glad I finally rooted it. Then I found out that my "Package Installer" does not work. Every time I try to uninstall an app or install an APK from the browser, it says "unfortunately Package Installer has stopped." I cannot even open "My Files" due to this. I also can't do things such as enabling the weather in my status bar. I thought that maybe it was just a faulty Resurrection Remix ROM but then I have tried a few other ones now too. If anyone can help me with this one problem I would appreciate it very much.

Try Wiping Dalvik Cache & Cache in Your Recovery & Reboot .. See The Error Occurs Again or Not .. Or Try Wiping The Cache & Data of the Package Installer Apk in Settings/Apps/Package Installer ..
If these Two Doesn't Work ,Try Clean Flashing The ROM Again ..
Even After The Clean Flash It occurs Means..Then Its The RR ROM Issue Which You Have Installed ..
Report It to the OP, ROM Thread In XDA or Other Sites On Where You Have Downloaded The ROM ,So That They Will Take A Look About This Error ..
Good Luck ..
Okay the above solutions did not work; however, I was wondering if it was possible to just uninstall and reinstall package installer. I know how to uninstall it, I just haven't tried to do it yet because I don't know where I would even find it or how I would reinstall it (since there won't be a package installer on my phone). Does anyone know anything that would help me try to solve the problem this way? Any other solutions altogether? Thanks!
Hey guys i just want add some input, i was having same problem on Samsung Galaxy S6 marshmellow. wiping cache/ delvick cache gave me only a little help. but this was basically because of one app called APP LOCK , i uninstalled that and then all is fine now.
Hope this help.
Thank you so so much!
Bro,
I have been struggling with my phone and the inability to load apps via apk or uninstall apps unless I go to Roy the play store and I could not figure out why it was driving me crazy. Just came across your poss and gave it a try. Always had that app on my phone but never used it. Uninstalled it and finally free. Thank you so much. I have suffered OMG
I had to remind myself that the solution to this problem on my phone is to re-enable Download manager. I disable Download manager as a way to keep from getting certain updates and if it's disabled package installer will stop working.
I am 11 and wants to help you
First download Magisk v20.4.
Then install it via twrp.
Download aptoide to computer.
Run adb install <your file directory> in cmd （or powershell and add .\ before adb）.
At last open aptoide and turn on update for system apps,install beta apps and root installation. It will request root access.Grant the root access to it.Done.You can install any app on aptoide.If not on aptoide send the apk to me and I will upload it.

Here's a fix.
If the same problem occurs throughout serveral Roms, And you use a custom Theme, Then the theme is "probably" the issue.
Happened to me on both SpaceOS and Odyessy, I changed the theme to default and it worked.
Maybe it works?
I don't know why the theme messes the package installer up tho.
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?
Check out my post here. I have successfully installed crdroid 7.4 with Nanodroid plus microG and a real Play 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
