How To Play Pokemon Go with Superuser (Root enabled)​
Note:
IT MIGHT CAUSE BOOTLOOP OR MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP.
Requirement:
Fresh Installation of Rom or Dirty Flash of your current rom (I tested it on CM and RR- Fresh.It might work on other custom roms.)
TWRP Recovery
Magisk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
unSU Script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3931994&d=1478779893
Steps:
1. Reboot into Recovery
2. Flash unSU Script and Magisk in order.
3. Reboot into System. (Mobile should boot without bootloop, otherwise you have to reinstall the ROM and try again)
4. Install Phh Superuser from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser&hl=en.
4. Open Magisk Manager ( Update it,if it is asked) and it will ask you for SU permission. Allow it.
6. Go to Settings and Tick " Enable Magisk Hide " and Reboot your phone.
7. Once again Magisk Manager and it will show status of SafetyNet at 3rd row and It should Passed.
Install PokemonGo and Enjoy

Updated the steps with New Magsik version 10.2

I did a clan flash. Booted and let everything settle. The rebooted into TWRP recovery. Mounted system, and deleted (or renamed) the Su files from system/bin and system/xbin. This removes root but I can play Pokémon.

This guide is for keeping root AND passing SafetyNet.
BTW, this method also works on CM13 and OOS.

It didn't mention keeping root in the title.

Do we need to go back into fastboot and disabled the bootloader unlock?

Not necessarily. Some kernels such as blu_kernel bypass the bootloader check. Try it out.

can Xposed work along with PoGo ?

I'm not sure. I didn't test it.
But you can install the Xposed Framework module through Magisk Manager.

In CM builds you don't need all this you just need this simple app:

I'm gonna assume this doesn't work with CM12.1 right?

I didn't try.
But you can try and post the result here that would help others.

I followed the steps in the first post and everything went OK. I'm using oxygen Os nougat 0.9
Thanks for your tutorial.

Does this mean that CM14.1 passes safetynet now? I don't exactly need root but when I tried it a few weeks ago PKMN Go told me that the OS I had was not supported.

Yes, cm 14.1 could pass safety net with this.

This works for sure. But if you're running a secondary ROM using MultiROM the modified boot.img will cause safetynet to indeed fail. I hope they do bring an update soon to fix this though.

Daft question, but i'm unable to use an online banking app, due to being rooted. I know this relates to PokemonGo, but wondering if this could fool the banking app?

I am using H2OS beta (Nougat) and I followed the below steps, but safety net is failing.
1. Dirty flash current ROM
2. Flash UnSU.zip
3. Flash magisk and phh zips
4. Reboot
5. Install Magisk Manager and Phh superuser
6. check safety net
Is there anything which I'm doing wrong? Can you help me please. Thank you
Edit: A reboot and everything worked fine. Thank you so much

Sorry to disturb this thread, but I am a bit confused because the official Magisk thread nowhere mentions that phh's su would be the only working su solution:
topjohnwu said:
If you're using Magisk v7+ with Magisk version of phh's superuser , or rooted with Official Systemless SuperSU (Android 6.0+ only)
If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+)

It might work with SuperSu too.

Problems with Magisk + Xposed on new OxygenOS 3.5.5

Hi all,
I just received an update to my OnePlus 2 - Oxygenos 3.5.5. The update removed the the recovery, root, Magisk and Xposed so I went ahead and flashed the TWRP again and then installed Magisk + phh's SuperUser.
All went fine, the phone booted OK. Then I decided to put back the Xposed and installed it via Magisk Manager and rebooted the phone. The phone got stuck at booting. I suspect that the new OxygenOS update + Xposed are the reason. I am able to uninstall the Magisk using the uninstaller and then can get back to the Magisk + root, but whenever I try to install Xposed the phone gets stuck when booting.
Any idea how to fix this?

Get a adb logcat on boot stuck with xposed installed, put it on pastebin and link here to see why isn't booting.

Hi dcastro172,
Unfortunately adb logcat does not give any info. At this boot stage the device is not detected yet by adb, hence no logcat possible. Is there anything I can collect differently?

Here are two logs from /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/log/
Perhaps this helps?

After installing magisk, root not working

After installing the magisk as I was rooted, I installed 2-3 mods ie flashed in twrp but after I rebooted my root is gone. Magisk manager is showing not rooted and when I re flashed supersu in twrp, installation was successful but still no root. What happened I don't know. Also I didn't install any phh supersu or busybox. Please help me regain my root.
HELP

It was a known bug in Magisk that you would lose root.
Magisk
v10.2
- [Magic Mount] Remove apps/priv-app from whitelist, should fix all crashes
- [phh] Fix binary out-of-date issue
- [scripts] Fix root disappear issue when upgrading within Magisk Manager

So i'd make sure you flashed the latest version ? Pretty sure you have but if not might be worth flashing supersu then magisk over it again as it should recognise supersu and not modify it.

After installing from play store, did you "FLASH" magisk ?

No I didn't flash anything. It was an automatic process which installed magisk and prompted me that installation success and reboot. Then I rebooted and root was gone

Now should I run magisk unstaller zip in twrp followed by supersu and then again flash magisk v10. 2 via twrp.. Should I follow these steps to gain my root again.. Anyone please help. I'm stuck @brichardson1991

Try installing PHH superuser from play store.

I had a similar experience. Having to reflash stock now to try a different tact. I'd rather use SuperSU to be honest, rather than PHH superuser.

Same problem here, have to investigate whats going on.

yeah flashing the stock rom was the only viable option i think .

I have the same problem with latest magisk. After i installed mods root is gone and i can not root again. Only with supersu i have root. Magisk is very bugy.

Yeah it does appear the latest version now causes you to lose supersu

Same problem with me, on the OP3 running Open Beta 11. Reflashing SuperSU did not work. Rather than extract the boot.img to reflash that, I ended up reflashing the firmware (and ended up mistakenly using the 4.0.1 file instead of the OPB11 one!) ... Yet to try SuperSU and Magisk again on this, but figured better to investigate the issue before I attempt to reinstall.
From what I understand here, v10 won't have this problem, and its only on v11 that its cropped up again? Can anybody with v10 confirm this?

Can't Uninstall Systemless Xposed (Moto G4 Plus)

I just decided to get rid of my root, so i uninstalled Magisk with the uninstaller .zip. Then i went on to try to flash the Xposed Uninstaller but it says that i need magisk to uninstall Xposed for some reason. Did i flash the wrong .zip or did i do anything else wrong. I also unrooted with the SuperSu app but i still cant pass the safety net check. Can anyone help with either of these issues? Plz reply
-Me

Try deleting Xposed.img under /data, and if you need to unroot, do not use the super su app, use the unsu signed zip instead, search it up on XDA

If you were using Magisk systemless Xposed it was uninstalled together with Magisk.
And if you were using Magisk, you don't need to do anything else to unroot.
Easiest way to make sure you get back to a clean slate would be to dirty flash your system and then lock your bootloader (be real careful though so you don't brick your device). SafetyNet triggers by more things than just root, among other things an unlocked bootloader...

i was facing the same issues with my Moto X Play Stock firmware 7.1.1 (squid kernel) rooted using magisk and systemless xposed installed.... it was working fine until i installed some xposed modules( iFont, perAppFont, xinsta etc.) and somehow it screwed my phone and bootlooped . after searching for long, this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76064855&postcount=12 works like a charm !
other xposed disabling method ( Power button combination on booting ) didn't worked for me , maybe i was using systemless xposed module that's why.

Installed Magisk Manager. Got a few questions.

I Installed Magisk Manager and i already had supersu. Well now ive got magisksu installed. So i deleted the supersu. But the busy box app is still on my device. But busy box says not installed. Do i need busy box with magisksu? I'm confused

If you have apps that need busybox you can enable Magisk busybox in the Manager settings. Otherwise you can ignore it.

Okay thanks. And do you know why the force doze app isnt putting my phone into deep sleep after switching to magisk?

Don't know. Your description of your installation is a bit vague. If you already had systemless SuperSU installed when installing Magisk, Magisk will use SuperSU rather than MagiskSU. In that case you'll still need the SuperSU app for root management.

I had SuperSU but when i installed magisk it changed to MagiskSU under the properly rooted tab. I don't know how it happened. I just let magisk do its thing and then when my phone rebooted my kernel was back to stock(previously had FK), and magiskSU was now under the properly rooted tab.

In that case your installation of SuperSU wasn't systemless. If you want FK back it's just to install it again. Hm... I have never tried installing FK over Magisk through the FK Manager & Updater. If you get issues, reflash your stock boot image, flash FK and then Magisk.
About your Force Doze issue: does the app ask for superuser access? To keep with the FK theme, I've tested Naptime with MagiskSU and it works well.
