trying to hide root from app - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone Im currently having one single app that i cant seem to hide root from...
Im using magisk with magisk hide and I works with All apps except one.
I tried checking with rootbeer with the attached result.
However i also tried with native root checker which finds something with the selinux mode.. Is there anyone who can help me pass this test.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Native root checker

Which rom are you running?

Well, my banking app not only checks if root is there or not. It also checks if I'm running Lineage, if Lineage detected, I could be even not rooted and still nfc payment will be blocked. Maybe you are getting similar issue

@giaur.
Well, you have a point i really never thought about that.. I only have this one app doing this but this is also a banking app..
It gives me the message that i am rooted however and thats why i immediatly tried several checkers to see if Any of them could find anything..
Can i change the LineageOS name to something "legit"

I did not go deeper, so I don't know how to bypass that. Now my problem solved, because I own LeMax2, which has no NFC so no NFC payments anyway

Haha me too.. i dont use nfc either way but this app is kinda important to me..

Android Pay error on rooted devices.

Ok, So i got the new updates from Google Wallet to the new Google Wallet and Android Pay.
When I attempted to setup Android Pay, I received the error that my device couldn't be "verified as being compatible."
A little browsing turned up some information that Android Pay doesn't like rooted devices, and even gave a couple of solutions.
1. Disable Superuser access if your Superuser app has the capability.
2. If option one isn't possible, then go back to stock, activate, and re-root.
This fix will NOT work for everyone, but since it is a simple setting change, it can't hurt to try this before looking into more 'drastic' measures. This will most likely only work on rooted stock ROMS.
I know that I use Chainfire's SuperSU app, and it has the ability to be disabled so the operator does not has superuser access until it is re-enabled. Simply go to your SuperSU app, go into the "Settings," and uncheck the "Enable Superuser." Different versions and other apps may be a little different, but principle should remain the same if it is an option.
After disabling SuperSU, open Android Pay and complete your initial setup. Once completed, return to the SuperSU app and re-enable Superuser access. The Android Pay app has continued working since then for me.
Based on information given by 'rbeavers,'

it appears rooted stock ROMs will probably work if you disable superuser (no guarantee though). Custom and ported ROMs most likely will never work unless the devs figure out a workaround. I would also imagine a otherwise stock ROM running a custom kernel wouldn't work either based on rbeavers' link.
Another note, I've integrated updated system apps and certain other apps into the system partition, so that probably won't matter if anyone is curious about that. (Could be different for other people though.)

Just got the new Android Pay. I received an error that my device couldn't be verified as being compatible. Found some where else that it doesn't like rooted devices . Fix with SuperSU is easy. Go to SuperSU, touch Settings, and uncheck Enable superuser. Setup Android Pay, then re enable it, and so far, it's working for me.

Tried it didn't work for me "turned off " SU. My bank isn't on the "list". So that might be it?
Maybe? I didn't think Android Pay used the bank account, only Wallet does. Pay requires you to link your debit or credit card. Both apps automatically pulled my information, so I didn't have to dig into that very much.
Another thing my ROM is otherwise stock.
I've also read that Android Pay just doesn't like some ROMs, so users on custom or ported ROMs and a few devices in general are probably going to be left out in the cold... unfortunately.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge of the Android system can help us out here soon.

how do I find what still needs to be changed? Kingroot worked...sorta

In an effort to get one of the 'tap and pay' apps to work for me, I un-rooted my Mega. After a few days of experimenting, I decided to re-root the device. Being a lazy person, I used one of the 'one-click' apps, King-root.
I'm pleased to report it evidently worked; root-checker and other apps report the phone is rooted.
However, when I attempted to use a favorite app, Root Call Blocker, it gives me a message that it is not rooted..
How can I find what still needs to be changed? It seems like a registry issue if I were using a PC/Windows.
It works fine with Kingroot...Try this version of Kingroot and see if it solves your problem..

Got it, thanks. After dumping a bunch of un-necessary apps to give more available memory, the Root Call Blocker works fine now.

Android pay UK

Hey guys, thought id create a thread for people to discuss any issues of tips for android pay UK as it was released on 18/05/2016.
I've managed to get it working - Rooted with latest chroma & systemless root!
Tested in a shop - works perfectly!
Method if ROOTED
1. Make sure you are on latest systemless root beta.
2. Uninstall any ad blocking software (adaway edits system)
3. Enter the following permission changes in ADB or using a root explorer.
-Run "adb shell"
-From the shell run "su"
-On the # prompt run "chmod 751 /su/bin/"
4. Restart phone
5. You should now be able to add a card and then try it out in a shop. If not, try a clean install of your ROM and systemless root.
OPTIONAL - if you use adaway, there is a systemless version you can use so that it doesn't modify the system! Flash the "Systemless Hosts file" Zip in the link below PRIOR to adaway installation!

May i Ask how?
I can second that - works like a charm!
I have Pure Nexus ROM installed.
Can download the app but get the message "Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible" when I try and add a card.
Android n v3 rooted and working good I think it's setup but not tested lol

Ive added the method to the 1st post so people can see how to do it!
Let me know if it works!
I flashed the latest N Dev preview then activated Pay but had a "can't verify your version of android" error message. Turns out I had changed the DPI on the last dev preview and after setting it to default Pay started working (at least I could now add a card). I'll test it actually works at a terminal today. Systemless root, adaway etc. As a matter of interest, I left a review on the Playstore (before changing the DPI) and Google answered within minutes asking me if I was rooted and/or on the preview. They also informed me they're actively working on allowing Pay to work on rooted devices.
*Edit* Yep, successful payment made today.
Nexus 6P
I'm on stock rooted systemless and latest AdAway installed no problem with Android pay.

I suggest you wipe /system and install Pure Nexus again; this time don't use the newest provided GApps for that Rom, use the 2-3-16 GApps, or you can try Open GApps. Now flash the UnSu Update file, or whatever it's called to unroot Pure Nexus (Pure Nexus has /system root by default and will never work with Android Pay). After you've done that you can root with systemless root and AP should work. Check with the SafetyNet app from the Play Store to make sure it passes all the checks.

Yes. I did this and it works (not tried posting yet though!).
I wiped, reflashed, used April's gapps, followed all the other steps and hey presto! Thanks
Installed it the other day and used it for the first time today; feels pretty magical!
I'm not able to add any more cards at this point though even though my bank supports Android Pay. I keep getting a super vague and unhelpful "Request Failed" error message. My bank tells me it's Google's fault, and Google seems to be clueless about it. Anyone have any more information on this error?

Where can I find systemless root for Preview 3 ?
Android Pay has been pretty ropey in my experience, been very slow to make payment, can take a good 4-5secs to get locked-on when it works, which it doesn't always. For the last couple of days I've only used it on the Underground when I know both entry and exit wouldn't be busy, basically not at rush hour.
I've tried all different approaches... top of phone, middle and bottom. Nothing seems to improve the speed of payment. Any tips on how I could improve performance?

The NFC chip on the 6P is inside the glass visor. Make sure you touch any payment platform with that.
By the way, if the SafetyNet app says it passed the checks, can I use Android Pay without problem? I'm rooted with systemless root and have Adaway without any zips. However, in the Adaway settings I use the data/data/hosts target. Safety Net passes. I don't have a card that can be used with Android Pay right now, but it should be coming next week.

Just an FYI
There is a zip you can flash prior to installing Adaway that makes AP and Adaway play nice together

From the OP in the Adaway thread
Yesterday I tried n preview 3 for the first time and I must say that I'm impressed. Installed android pay with no problems at all. The only thing that seems a little annoying is that I was endeavouring to make twrp work, which I couldn't, and when it hung and I had to reinstall n3, I found I was required to phone the bank again to reactivate the card.

Elephone P9000 showing modified system?

Hi.
I'm new to Chinese phones and I recently purchased an Elephone P9000. Its great and have no real problems except I cannot get my banking app to work with NFC card payment as the app says my phone has been modified and it says that the kernel is @root however I have not rooted it nor have root access but it seems this is normal from other forums I have read.
Is there anyway to get my phone to say Unmodified so my NFC card payments will work?
Also, has my system been modified? When I first turned it on it did the normal setup of apps however it didn't run through the normal user setup, asking which country I live in and language I want etc. even after OTA updates and factory reset. It also says custom build version. I have attached a screenshot of my about device.
If this phone has been modified, can I and how do I get my phone back to stock.

The kernel string says @root because it was built either by the root user of the compile machine or because the machine name was root.
This has nothing to do with the Android OS being rooted.

Possibly the people behind your banking app don't realise that a kernel string of @root doesn't mean the device is rooted. There are lots of misconceptions about what root is and unfortunately it appears the app maker(s) have fallen for one of them.
If you would be willing to root Your device, it might be possible to solve Your issue by using XPosed and the modules/App devicefaker and Rootcloak. That's the way I was able to use boon (its a prepaid NFC Payment App, available in some European countries)

That doesn't make any sense. I'm on the latest stock ota upgrade and my phone is fine. Not going to say which banking app I use but it's still working fine without without root. But some makes are more strict about this sort of thing.

Its been a while since I rooted. What apps do we use now?

Hey guys
Its been a few year since I rooted. don't worry ive already spotted the guide on how to.
My question is once im rooted. Does the old Xposed framework thingy still exist?
What app are we using for govenor/kernel control?
Is titanium backup still a good option?
Basically, whats my app suite gonna look like when im done? How am I going about tweaking my phone?
I guess im asking whats your set of default apps for your rooted phone. Mangment, tweak, backuo, gapps etc
If you have the xperia xz1, which is on android 8, oreo I don't believe Xposed framework is working on oreo yet. I also believe only one kernal is working to get root, not sure if it has any governor controls though. Titanium is still good for removing unwanted bloat.
To answer about xposed, it still work on oreo but this is a beta take a look at my attachment, I have a XZ1 Running oreo 8.0.0 firmware 47.1.A.12.75 and Xposed is working on it, I flashed it through TWRP
Hope it helped
Thank you
Just wanting to get back on the root shoot.
Even if im just rooting and trimming all the fat out. Xposed looks good. Cant wait to take all the bloatware out. Is there a "safe to remove" list about? At work ATM, but will be diving right into this this week

from trial and error there isn't a lot of "safe to remove" items, I trimmed out 5 maybe 6 items before the rom got squirrelly.
This is just from memory but I got rid of avg, chrome (I use Iron browser) email and exchange, amazon and wiki links, as well as the system facebook and youtube ( to give more control over those items) Just about anything else resulted in apps force closing or other issues
Thanks guys,
Seems like its all just about how it was. Give or take a few apps.
My last thing I wonder is, how do I run barclays bank app? Im pretty sure it'll not run due to the root. Is there a way round this? Sandbox or something?
I think I just found my answer. Wondering what Magisk was ???
So with magisk I can run banking apps etc. It will also manage all of my root blah blah. Xposed can help me **** about with things. Titanium backup. And new OS.
I think im ready now ?
If you run Xposed, you lose a large chunk of the MagiskHide capabilities. You're better off without Xposed and just using Magisk
Really? That's bad. I remember xposed was fun. I shall have a read up on Magisk when I get time.
Planning on the weekend. So I can have a full day of it ?

I recommend you to use EXKM (for kernel control) and FX File Browser (with the root addon) for all the debloating and modifications in the system folders.
Hey,
Ive never heard of EXKM. But still using FX browser since last time I rooted. Never switched ?
Hello.
You can install greenify4magisk, sd maid for cleaning, myandroidtool (do what amplify do but without Xposed)

Thank you. Been busy as hell this week. But shall be rooting asap
ok so.
Ive unlocked the bootloader
followed this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1/how-to/guide-how-to-persistant-root-xperia-xz1-t3718375
And everything worked fine
But i want to install CarbonROM
At what point in that guide do i install CarbonROM? Because my phone has been sat here at the boot "Sony" screen for about 30 mins now, and im pretty sure its not gonna boot up
Ok,
This is doing my head in now.
Twice now ive had to do a full reinstall, how in the living hell do I get xposed installed ontop of magisk?
I think install the xposed installer, then the SDK 26 from magisk. Then reboot? But it bootlooped on me?
Did I technogology wrong?

On the latest version ( .179) , you can't use xposed with magisk. There is nothing to do but waiting right now . We have to wait beta 4 or whatever.
Ah, right.
But am I getting the install procedure correct?
Im not even sure theres anything in closed I actually want. But its an option, therefore I must put it in ?
