[SOLVED] Directv Now and a rooted device - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title describes DirecTV Now/AT&T has decided that root users can't watch with their app. I am using a Nexus 6 with Nitrogen OS, with phh superuser with magisk. Using magisk hide on the directv now app and superuser itself. I am also using the root kill switch 1.3.3.2. All of these things activated and DirecTV Now still doesn't work. Anyone have a step by step guide to get this app to work with root?

I think it's because your bootloader is unlocked, you can check with the app "SafetyNet Helper Sample" on Google play. There maybe a kernel that will help, I heard ElementalX but not sure.

Solved the problem of annoying error 40 code!
Ok for everyone with DirecTV Now and a Custom ROM with unlocked bootloader(maybe even stock rom). Here's the way to see the video on DirecTV NOW and keep root/unlock.
Disclaimer: This method is with phh superuser and magisk v9 with Magisk Manager 2.5 (haven't tried it on SuperSu, but might work with suhide). Also, I was on 7.1.1 Nitrogen OS build 12/06. This is also with Android's latest December 5, security patch.
Before doing the steps, clear data and cache on your direcTV Now app
1.) Flash the ROM, flash Gapps, flashed unSu if not using phh superuser or built in su app, flashed magisk v9, flashed phh superuser r266-2, boot phone
2.) Installed magisk manager.
3.) Activated magiskhide through magisk manager
4.) rebooted device
5.) Checked in magiskhide the DirecTV Now app and checked supersu
6.) rebooted device
7.) went into build.prop in /system
8.) changed ro.build.type=userdebug to ro.build.type=user
9.) changed ro.build.tags=test-keys to ro.build.tags=release-keys

The SuperSU/Magisk v9/MagiskHide combo 'works' too.
Just (A) deny DTV NOW root access in SuperSU, and (B) hide it with magiskhide in MagiskManager.
(This assumes you have Magisk set up to properly use SuperSU)

Anyone know if it is required to use buildprop still?

To my knowledge yes.

Did you allow or deny permissions?

Build prop edits still a yes... as of last night on N6 w/ pure nexus rom

A slightly easier solution, if you already have Xposed installed, is Root Cloak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6CzzenVoF4

Xposed, Nexus 9, systemless on CM 13 kills magisk root

Hi,
i recently installed magisk and xposed on my OnePlus One and it worked flawlessly.
Yesterday, i updated my Nexus 9 (CM 13, nightly) and unrooted it.
- Uninstalled SuperSU
- Reinstalled SuperSU from the PlayStore
- Let SuperSU fully unroot my Nexus 9
After that, i installed magisk and phh superuser.
Everything worked fine, until i installed xposed 86.5 systemless.
After a reboot, root is gone.
Magisk can't mount root anymore and if i try it within adb "$(getprop magisk.supath)/su -c "setprop magisk.root 1"" it throws an error, that "su" cannot be found.
After uninstalling xposed, magisk can mount root again.
Any suggestions?

Magisk - Rebooting resets Magisk Hide

Hi all,
So I've just flashed Oxygen OS 4.0.1 for the OnePlus3T, flashed SuperSU 2.79, downloaded Magisk from playstore, installed it, uninstalled SuperSU app. Root is working fine
Two green ticks, installed and properly rooted, but the SafteyNet failes. I read that you need to enable Magisk hide, so I do, and it tells me to reboot, so again I do, but the option keeps resetting/.
Anyone else having this issue/ has a solution?
There's been several users with OnePlus devices having problems with Magisk Hide. Might be a device specific issue that's not user solvable at the moment...
Edit: New info added to OP after my answer... Magisk Hide does not work with SuperSU.

That's a shame ./. I'll ask reddit

I'm using phh's superuser and Magisk hide is working for me on the open beta and people seem to say that the current beta and the release versions are virtually the same, so it might be an issue with how SuperSU is handled.
afaik Magisk Hide needs phh's root, not SuperSU

Ok... I believe you've added some information since my first answer...
Magisk Hide does NOT work with SuperSU. You have to use topjohnwu's phh's superuser that's provided with Magisk.

Nope, nope, nope. It's a problem with USERS who use magisk hide options. In THREAD is info about supersu + magisk hide = NOT WORKING. This is only fault of wrong su binaries, so it's not device specific issue.
And for this issue - probably flash a unsu script. It will (probably) delete all of supersu files, then in magisk manager or twrp flash modded phh binaries for magisk and then, finally install ph manager from google play. That is config to be able to use magisk hide.
ENJOY.

Yeah, I know... OP edited with SuperSU info after my answer. I edited my post as well. Thanks for the reminder.
Not going to quote everyone, but YES! Removing SuperSU and using phh SU works just fine!
Thanks all.

Banks app detects root after update v18.0 (with Magisk Hide and hidden Manager)

Hi, thanks for reading.
I've used Magisk 17.3 with all my bank apps perfectly, with Magisk hide and Magisk manager hidden.
After update to 18.0 and update manager to 6.1, the bank apps start detecting root status, and stop working.
So, I've flashed back to 17.3 and old manager 6.0.1, and everything's back to working normally.
My system:
Poco F1
LineageOS 16.0 built 27/11/2018
The apps are from Thai's banks:
SCB EASY: detected root, still working
TMB Touch: detected root, stop working
KTB Next: detected root, working partially
If you'd want any log or anything, please also tell me how to get them.

Can confirm that this works, thanks.
For me, it started getting detected on 17.x even before updating to 18, right after the banking app (Sparkasse) was updated.
LG G6.

This didn't work for me. I had to downgrade back to 17.1 to get my banking app working again. Appears that the root detection prevention is a regression in this latest version.

Did all of these...still got detected.
I have the same problem. Magisk says: ctsProfile: False and Google Pay don't work. Also my Banking App detects root.
I flashed today the latest Los 15 build and the crt false error is till there after flashing magisk 18. The same error is also with 17.4...
Tell me if I'm wrong but I believe we have two different reports: the original report where root is detected, and the ctsProfile/basicIntegrity failing. The second one is a regression fixed by rebooting device (however, it is annoying to reboot 10 times a day because suddenly SafetyNet fails for no reason).
I am using Magisk Hide Props module, and after 18.0 update Santander App detects root, even with Magisk Manager says I pass safetynet
It's happened with my bank app as it detected root & saftynet false and have to downgrade to ver.17.2
Sent from my SM-C900F using Tapatalk
See in install app delete old magisk manager, after install magisk 18.0 new magisk manager rename to manager.
I have same problem. After install v18 magisk, same bank app can detect the system is rooted. Downgrade to v17.2, all bank app become normal.
Same here since Magisk 18 my BankApp (Intesa Sanpaolo) start and says that there is a safety problem and it close, if I choose Magiskhide it doesn't start at all.
SafetyNet check spin without an end.
With Magisk 17.1 and 17.3 no problem at all.
Same problem here, after upgrading to Magisk 18 claiming to better hide root in the history, apps now suddenly detect root.
This affects also the Safety Net check and Google Pay... so far, Root Hiding in 18.0 seems COMPLETELY broken.
A solution would be great.
Later... after downgrading to Magisk 17.2, MagiskHide is working for me again and Safetynet checks succeed. The dev is aware of the problem, an issue is open on the Magisk Github (#907)
After uninstalling and reinstalling my bankapp now works without any problem and doesn't detect root even if is not under Magisk hide
I can confirm the v18 update breaks something and BOTH safety net checks fail. So all apps detect you are rooted, especially bank apps and Get Pay. Downgrading back to v17 restored everything to normal.
The only thing I could think of is the installation method. I did the direct install rather than installing the zip via recovery. Not sure if it makes a difference but I will wait for next release.
I am on a Pixel 2 with Android Pie updated to the Aug 2018 release.

I did not uninstall but tried clearing bank app data and cache and the problem persisted. Magisk still showing all red for safetyNet. Just sharing testing feedback.
@Djtrip83 Did you try just toggling MagiskHide off and on once after updating to v18? Sometimes MagiskHide simply needs a restart after an update...
I did that too. Toggled Hide on and off for all apps. Repackaged Magisk. Turned off USB debugging. Removed modules installed. Tried everything I thought would work. Even restored hosts in case Ad Away affected something on /system.
The only thing I did not do was remove root apps and re-install them to re-grant permissions after the Magisk update. And I wonder now if uninstalling Magisk completely and make a brand new clean install with v18 would work rather than upgrading.
I was at a loss so I downgraded. Sorry I don't have a log to share. However, v17 works fine.

We might be misunderstanding each other, but what I'm talking about is simply to go to the Manager settings and change the toggle for MagiskHide to off and then on. No need to do anything to the Hide list or anything else... Did you do that? As I said, that's sometimes something you the to do after an update, but it's rare.

Didn't work either. I guess will have to wait for an update. I have tried so far:
Settings > Magisk Core Only More - On
Magisk Hide - Check against the banking app
Clear app cache
Reboot
Also - Magisk v19.3, Magisk Manager v7.3.1(222)

disable developer mode?
and you need to hide magisk manager itself.not just magisk hide.
Try executing
Code:
su -c chmod 000 /proc/net/unix
in a terminal. Several banking apps now use a very stupid and shaky root detection heuristic that is circumvented in this way.
(see https://github.com/Ingan121/UDSBypass).
A banking app on my phone (keytradebank, belgian bank) worked fine with Magisk Hide but after an update stopped working.
Disabling read access to /proc/net/unix did the trick for me!
Looked it up, this rootbeerFresh code is really brain-dead, even the presence of busybox will make isRooted() return true
No concern for false positives at all.

Remember that app says it COULD be root.
If anyone is paying attention to it yet.

Busybox
Some apps detect Busybox and see this as a sign of your device being compromised (rooted). Magisk should be able to hide any Busybox installed as a Magisk module. osm0sis has a great Busybox module available in the Magisk repo (install from the Magisk Manager, under "Downloads").
Figuring out if an app has dependencies, looks for "sensitive props", Busybox, etc
It can be tricky figuring out if an app is dependent on another app or process for detecting root, expects certain prop values, doesn't like Busybox or whatever is triggering a root warning within the app. Apart from trying one thing/prop at a time, finding this out could mean you have to decompile the apk to look at the source code (use search), grab a logcat when the app is detecting root, etc.
Detecting apps requiring root
There are apps that detect known apps that require root and refuse to work properly or even start if that is the case. Usual suspects include (but aren't limited to) busybox apps, Xposed installer, root hiding apps, etc.
This can be worked around by uninstalling or possibly freezing (Titanium Backup can do this, among others) the offending root app when you need to use an app detecting root apps and reinstalling/unfreezing it afterwards. Cumbersome, but it might work. There are also some Xposed modules that can hide apps from other apps, but having Xposed installed might cause other issues with tampering detection...
@mrspeccy Thank you for pointing out that workaround. Works for me too for the Keytrade app

yes, in a terminal on your phone or using 'adb shell'
be aware it's not a permanent fix, a reboot will restore the old permissions on /proc/net/unix
so you have to remove read access after every reboot.
Quite clumsy.
To make this easier on the go, I installed termux, created in the home directory a small file 'hide' with the one-liner,
Code:
su -c chmod 440 /proc/net/unix
Note: 000 works just as well, but 440 is closer to the original permission and works too.
so after a reboot i open termux terminal and type the command
Code:
. hide

Try these...
1. From your magisk, install these 2 modules: Riru - Core, and Riru - EdXposed (Sandbox or Yahfa is okay]
2. Reboot your device to activate both modules.
3. Install Xposed Installer APK by DVDandroid. You can get it here: https://dl-xda.xposed.info/modules/d...v33_36570c.apk
4. Reboot to activate the Xposed Installer app
5. Inside Xposed Installer app, go to downloads and install the HiddenCore Module.
6. Reboot and go back to Magisk, and hide.
7. Test to see if everything is now okay.

Has Google disabled Magisk?

I installed a new ROM on my tablet and couldn't get Magisk to work, so I restored the ROM I was using previously. But Magisk wasn't working in it anymore. In researching the problem, it seems that Google has not only removed Magisk Manager from the Play Store, but also found a way to keep previously installed Magisk from granting root privileges.

If you read my later post you'll see that I found that out and tried it. None of the versions work with the ROM based on Android 11. I have always just installed an the latest version Magisk.zip I happen to have handy and let it install Magisk Manager. Then I'd use Magisk Manager to update Magisk. That didn't work with the Android 11 ROM either. The update failed and the older version didn't root.
