Magisk is consistently causing my Settings app to hang after booting - Magisk

I have no proof of this, but this has been happening on my Note 4 (SM-N910T) ever since v13.3, and now on v14.0. I also bought a Huawei Honor 6X about a week ago, it's now happening there too. I didn't feel that this was worth posting about, figuring it might be device-specific or ROM-specific. But now that it's happening on 2 devices I've changed my mind.
Note 4:
Android 7.1.2 (CMRemix)
Xposed unofficial by PurifyOS (system mode)
Kernel sets SELinux to permissive on boot
Magisk v14.0
No Magisk modules installed
Honor 6X:
Android 7.1.2 (Resurrection Remix)
Xposed (systemless Magisk version)
Kernel sets SELinux to permissive on boot
Magisk v14.0
No Magisk modules installed
Description of the issue:
After powering on/rebooting, I can't open system Settings app for up to a minute or so. It just hangs on a white screen. It then either gives a message stating that Settings isn't responding, or, if I manually close Settings with the Recent button then try to reopen it, it repeats the same behavior but will eventually open. Sometimes I need to access Settings immediately after boot to make changes. Device is otherwise responsive, Magisk appears to work fine.
I have tried clean ROM installs on both devices, with full wipes beforehand, and latest stable Magisk. I've also tried with and without Xposed, results are the same. This didn't happen before v13.3, v11.x and v12.x didn't exhibit this behavior. But back this I was using systemless SuperSU in conjunction with Magisk. I suspect that MagiskSU may be the culprit.
MagiskSU is also noticeably slower (when compared to SuperSU or non-Magisk Phh's Superuser) at responding to SU requests, even with a setting of auto-grant and the lowest possible timeout (10 seconds), and global mount namespace. This may be due to the fact that does more than just rooting, it is logical to assume that it has more background processes running since it is also a systemless framework, whereas the other 2 solutions only manage root access.
Last, my file managers oftentimes won't let me delete/modify certain files/folders in the system partition, with a message like "device or resource busy", or flat-out denying access. System is remounted as RW. This only happens with Magisk, but never with SuperSU or Phh. I do use Magisk for systemless mods, but sometimes I want to make direct midifications to /system. Magisk, as a root solution, shouldn't be denying my ability to do this, since I own my devices, not Magisk.
Right now I'm primarily concerned with the Settings issue, but I figured the other issues are worth mentioning. I'm still on the fence, I may return to SuperSU, or Phh, trying Magisk again after a few more stable releases. But if this can be resolved then I'll give it another chance.
I'm posting the logs for my Honor 6X, one is the Magisk log from /cache, the other is /data/anr/traces.txt. Attempts to get a logcat during boot were unsuccessful.
Thanks for any help!

Magisk saves a log during boot that you might find useful. It's /data/magisk_debug.log. A logcat from when the device has booted up and you're trying to open up the Settings might also be interesting.
Have you tried on a stock ROM? Both those ROMs you're using are related and may have similar ROM specific issues...

dont open setting immediately after reboot. open it after a minute. not really a problem

It is not Magisk problem that cause this problem but it is the rom...i'm also using RR 7.1.2 on bacon and Magisk v14 and have no problem at all but we bacon user does encountered this problem in RR build in July and the devs fixed this on August build....

@all: I've been super busy lately, not much time to post anywhere. But getting back to this.....I doubt this is a ROM issue. My reasoning is that it would occur with or without Magisk if that were the case. I don't get this issue when using SuperSU or non-Magisk Phh Superuser (regular). This only occurs when Magisk is installed, since v13.3, but not before that version. It has also occurred on Huawei stock EMUI firmware.
@24imelqui: Just because you don't consider something to be a problem doesn't mean it isn't a problem for others. I have a need to be able to access my Settings app immediately after booting. Your comment isn't useful in the least, if you can't post something helpful then don't post at all. /Ignored.....
@iPusak Gaoq™: isn't Bacon a Nexus device (not sure, never owned one)? Can you reference something where this has been reported? And fixed? Like something on XDA or GitHub or whatever? If this can be proven to be ROM issue then I'll post something to my devices' devs to see if it can be fixed in later releases.
I'm attaching several logs, this time a logcat as well. No such debug log exists in /data, and Magisk v14.0 has no options in the Manager app for debug logging.

There have been issues previously, where it seems like it's a Magisk thing but it's really a ROM issue. Some things Magisk does (and it does a few more things than just root your device) can sometimes bring problems out into the light...
I believe bacon refers to the OnePlus One (Nexus devices are all named after aquatic creatures). Looking in the RR thread over in those forums I'd guess you'll find your information somewhere around here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...tion-remix-t3507102/post73283623#post73283623
About your logs: I'm not too good at reading logcats, so no help from me there. But, I see something there in your Magisk log... Have you tried disabling Xposed?
There are things going on when a device with Magisk starts, so depending on your setup it might take a short while (30-ish seconds for me on my daily driver) before root requests start being accepted. If the ROM settings require root, that might be the reason why it won't open straight away when booting up your device.

OK, back again, Xposed disabled this time in the app (but still installed), so not active.

Here is the full changelog on the build where the devs fixed the issues on settings freeze/fc on startup....

Losing root after some time, Magisk v11 + MagiskSU

pretty much title.
sometimes i lose root twice a day, sometime 3day without lose, reboot/reflash magisk fix it
Same here
Enviado de meu LG-D295 usando Tapatalk
Just experienced the same issue. After installing some modules and rebooting
I am experiencing the same thing.. but when or how I don't know... I just take reboot and again root will be back. Might be some other app like clean master or auto killing apps kills magisk services???
I had the issue too, but it stopped when I disabled MagiskHide. That of course is only a solution if you don't actually need it.
Not being an expert, I never found a way to debug the issue or contribute otherwise.
I can confirme. Also when MagiskHide is on, I experience random reboots, which is bigger problem. Any fix for it?

Just a thought: have you added any system apps/processes to the Hide list?
No, i didn't. I don't use android pay, and i don't think that hiding root may be necessary for any other system app. When I turn MagishHide I have maybe 1 min before reboot. All was fine first few hours after installation, before first root losing.
If it will help, I'm on AOSP 6.0 custom ROM. My device is i9505. What's interesting it happens only if mobile data is on. Wi-fi doesn't do any troubles.
I will throw my experience into this thread as well. I am running Magisk 11.1 with DarkRom on my Nexus 5. Everything seems to work very smooth outside of randomly loosing root. I don't have to reflash, just reboot and it comes back. I do have MagiskHide enable for Android Pay. I also have the AppSystemizer model installed to covert Action Launcher 3 to systems. No random reboots, but loosing root is annoying. I may try to disable MagiskHide and see if that solves the root drop issue. Android Pay is handy though.
Ok Folks my 2 cents in regards to this trouble, i have did some work in reproducing this Magisk Root Loss.
say i have few apps like 1) SafetyNet Sample: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample&hl=en & 2) RootChekerPro app and both these apps are hided them from root using MagiskHide.
So when i launch Magisk Manager app and checked safetynet Status and then opened app1 (safetynet Sample) ran the test and then immediately did Forcestop the Magisk manager app and launched back Magisk Manager app boom the root is lost and did a reboot everything is back fine again.
I've been trying to find the cause of this issue for a couple of weeks. This is what works for me so far
1. Open Magisk Manager when root is working (either immediately after rebooting or after disabling Magisk Hide).
2. Does Magisk BusyBox and Magisk Hide.
3. Reboot
4. Enable Magisk Hide, but keep Magisk BusyBox disabled.
5. Reboot
Check if root disappears anymore.
I think Magisk Hide is causing the issue, disabled the Magisk Hide and the root stays.
It may also be releated with GApps package - it could explain why some people have this issue with losing root/stability but others no. You can try with smaller package (picko/nano).
Magisk 11.5 seems to fix the issue for me

No, it's just randomly occurring.
I was having the same problem with 11.1 and flashed the 11.5. It doesn't fixed.
Then flashed the ROM and 11.1 again the root is still there.
I don't know what exactly triggers the root to hide but there is something going on.
works on first flash of 11.1, then the next reboot breaks it again. uninstalling and reinstalling magisk fixes it again until the next reboot
I switch on MagiskHide only when I need it. So far it's quite good option, doesn't require any reboots.
did more testing, I don't lose root at all when I have MagiskHide disabled. Deleting /magisk/.core/magiskhide in recovery returns root.
Mostly a "me too" post. Issue still occurs on 11.6.
I tried replacing MagiskSU with SuperSU. But still the issue remains.

Worked but suddenly: no stats have been collected yet

I'm on the S7 edge and the app worked without problem but suddenly once after restart all I get is "no stats have been collected yet", not just with bbs but gsam battery monitor.
The app also has superuser rights. What could be the issue?
I also have this issue. On Pixel 7.1.2 May 2017, everything works, but on Nexus 6P 7.1.2 May 2017,it shows "no stats have been collected yet" on the alarm page. I'm on 2.2.2.0 (not beta I think), and I tried to clear data, but no effect.
Any work around?
Same problem here. Exactly the same, and I would very much suspect the problem was caused by the new busybox updated earlier. Still try to figure out.
same prob. anyone solved this?
I'm having the same problem. I'm on Pixel 8, non root, just using it via APIs. Worked until about a month ago.
Same issue here. Was working up until a few hours ago. Now I'm getting the same message.
Me too. LeEco pro 3 with AICP 7.1.2.
I'm having same problem, zenity rr 7.1.2 on op3
same here on last android O preview, nexus 6p.
i think it started when switched from supersu to magisk root...
Same problem.
My phone is being kept awake but BBS is unable to report the Alarm stats ("No stats have been collected yet"). Was using Magisk earlier and was informed this was the reason, so switched to phh's superuser and still the same.
Do I have to use supersu for this?
How do you still "hide" root for legit apps, but still ensure BBS is able to accurately report all necessary stats?
Using a Nexus 6p with CarbonROM and Electron kernel, tried latest Magisk 13.3 and phh superuser.
Same problem here and no idea how to fix this.... Using the payed Play Store version.
Anyone make any progress on this? I get this message on the summary and partial wakelocks pages. I've tried installing as system app and tried doing the root commands from the terminal. I'm considering using the Xposed module to get batter stats.
I installed the app today, and it was working fine. I reset for an unrelated reason, and it now says "no stats have been collected yet". I've only heard good things about this app, but it doesn't seem stable if it breaks after a reset? Reinstalling the app doesn't seem to help.
I guess no love for us here. When the app works its awesome but it seems to throw this error more times than not.
I just switched from SuperSu to Magisk and flashed a custom kernel (Franco) on my OnePlus 3T with the stock OOS. I'm now seeing this "No stats have been collected yet" message.
having the same problem here, on magisk and also installed as system app. No responses?
Same here work with s4 rr magisk and xposed install and not with op5 same configuration
I'm was having the "no stats have been collected yet" on the partial wakelocks page and managed to fix it today. I'm using a Pixel XL on Stock Oreo with Magisk beta and the ElementalX kernel.
Disclaimer: I'm not an experienced Android dev, not my fault if this breaks your device, try at your own risk.
Here's what worked for me to get stats back:
Install the App Systemizer module from Magisk Manager (it's in downloads), don't reboot
Install the attached ZIP as a Magisk module, don't reboot
Systemize BetterBatteryStats with the App Systemizer companion app
Reboot
The attached ZIP is a modified version of the Privileged Permission Whitelist module template. I added all the permissions BBS requested into the XML file - feel free to inspect the ZIP and modify it for yourself if you don't need/want to give Greenify or F-Droid system permissions.
Thanks to @yochananmarqos and @stangri for writing the modules that made this possible!

I updated my Privileged Permission Whitelist module to support the Play Store version and the XDA Edition.
yochananmarqos said:
Would you believe I didn't notice BetterBatteryStats was missing permissions? :silly: I thought it was no longer necessary as the How-to & FAQ in the main BBS thread states it does not require the system app anymore.
However, it turns out (at least on Oreo) it is still necessary. I noticed these two required permissions are not being granted:
android.permission.DUMP
android.permission.READ_LOGS
You can verify the permissions are granted (or not) by going to BBS Settings > Advanced > Install as system app.
I updated the module to support the Play Store version and the XDA Edition. Download in the OP.
@chamonix The above permissions will also need to be granted via adb for those running BBS on a non-rooted device.
Thanks to @kd- for figuring this out :good:

Does this mean it's impossible to get BBS working on unrooted Oreo? I tried granting all these permissions via ADB and it still didn't work. Using a Sony XZ1 compact with locked bootloader.

Magisk Issue On OmniROM 8.1

I'm using official Omni 8.1. The issue I'm facing is that the Magisk Manager can't seem to remember the apps it has granted Superuser permission. Even in the Superuser tab it shows "No apps found". Result being I have to grant Superuser permission every time when I open an app like Root Explorer.
Please look into this issue.
Magisk Manager: v5.5.2
Magisk Root: v15.1 Stable
I don't have this issue on version 5.5.0 and 15.1 on the latest Omni 8.1 weekly on my Oneplus 3T.
Edit: You didn't mention what device, so I doubt anyone would be able to help you. But I guess you're running a Oneplus 3T or a Oneplus 5 since there are no 8.1 Omni weeklies for any other devices, yet. Maybe you could try to attach some logs.
For me Magisk v15.1 doesn't boot anymore, it just fails and goes back to recovery.
v14.6 works fine.
Omni 8.1 on Oneplus 5T
Same problem here. Any solution?
Look into this issue, doesn't boot, solutions?
Where are the logs?
How do you expect someone to help you without that?
For all the praise Magisk seems to get, it sure does have some issues. Lately, it's been kind of a lottery figuring out which version will work with which ROM... These things never happend to me on SuperSu

I'd say it has to do with the incredible speed that the Magisk development has been going at. Looking back over the past year, a lot has happened. This kind of speed can cause instabilities...
Now, it's most likely at a point where the focus will be on stability and compatibility development.
Having said that, though, all users experiencing issues can help with that by providing as much details as possible and relevant logs.
I can confirm this. It seems Magisk has a problem opening the sqlite3 database, on OmniROM 8.1 at least.
The Superuser request can be granted, and it goes through (as in the app gets its root access), however nothing is permitted "forever".
Superuser log in Magisk Manager is empty, so is the list of apps granted Superuser access.
From my log:
Code:
sqlite3 open failure: unable to open database file
Either the sqlite3 database is located somewhere else, or Magisk didn't get the correct writing rights during the install. Did something change regarding this in 8.1?
There is also a somewhat unrelated issue with Magisk Hide, where the hidelist-file doesn't exist/wasn't initially created upon installation:
Code:
fopen: /sbin/.core/img/.core/hidelist failed with 2: No such file or directory
Full log attached.

Two things I'm curious about (at the moment):
What are the permissions for /data/adb/magisk.db?
Do you now have a hidelist file in /sbin/.core/img/.core?

There is no such file in that location. There is a magisk.img in that folder with -rw-r--r--, and a magisk/ folder but not containing any magisk.db file either.
Yes, there is now a hidelist file in /sbin/.core/img/.core with -rw-rw-rw-
Bonus info:
I did a complete wipe (I initially did that but I wanted to be certain), and I got this error while installing Magisk right after OmniROM (also see attached):
Code:
! System installed root detected, mount rw :(
Now, OmniROM doesn't ship with root built in - at least not to my knowledge. So I don't know what this "system installed root" Magisk is detecting.

Number 1 is an issue, because that's the su database... If there is none, it's no wonder why granted superuser requests aren't saved.
Hi, do you have a solution?

As far as I know, so far the only known working solution is to reformat /data as ext4. Or stay on an old version of Magisk.

which version you suggest also my /data is ext4 only .
also i would like to tell you one more thing after tinkering little bit and observed following things
as soon as i dont open the magsik app and using root by simple toast and granting the permission it works but as soon as i open the app , it starts misbehaving . i wonder why .

Let me guess: you're not using OmniROM...
Since you're posting in this thread, I kind of assumed you did, so my answer was given accordingly.
If you need help, post all possible details and lots of relevant logs.
I've had the same error. Magisk seems unstable on OmniROM 8.1 on OnePlus 5. Probably an issue with the ROM, but the developer seems like the kind of guy who will tell you to go f*ck yourself if you have a problem like this.
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
A temporary workaround with the permission issue on /data/adb/magisk.db, even after not working trying 0666 permissions, was to change ownership. None of many other solutions worked for me until I found the user for Magisk. You can use a shell as root or with apps like FX File Explorer with root capability to see which user owns files in "/data/adb/magisk/" . Then I applied that user as the owner of magisk.db. Verified that apps which ask for root permission get saved now. The user of Magisk will be different for you since it is marked as "app_##' which I suppose is up to the amount of apps you have installed.
I have a problem and think it caused by the same reason other users here.. My issue is after installing omni rom and gapps ONLY i can't use my banking apps because ( i guess) it thinks my device is rooted.
Device : oneplus 5
I wasn't planning to root my device to keep those kind of issues away

No... I don't think so. This thread is about an issue with Magisk and f2fs on Android 8.1 ROMs. Your issue could be that OmniROM sets some sensitive props to triggering values.
That can be taken care of by using Magisk and MagiskHide. Take a look here for more info:

PetNoire's SafetyNet Spoofer! (Universal SafetyNet Fix mod)

PetNoire's SafetyNet Spoofer
This module tries to pass SafetyNet on devices/roms that don't.
This started when i put LineageOS on my phone and couldn't play Pokemon GO anymore. much sadness was had.
i searched around for a fix and found universal-safetynet-fix. Awesome! it let me play pokemon again but it broke everything else root related while it was enabled.
So, i worked on updating it to be compatible with magisk 17. and i got it! (download at the bottom)
but, well.. there was a lot in that code that didn't need to be there anymore. (does anyone even use magisk 12?!)
and worse still, my phones stock image used a thumbprint, not a fingerprint. with it in usnf, it didnt even pass basic integrity!
so i got to work and PetNoire's SafetyNet Spoofer was born!
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

Information
Features:
Resets system props to a factory state
spoofs the device fingerprint or thumbprint
has a friendly command tool to change finger/thumbprint settings
Use:
Flash it with TWRP or MM.
by default, it spoofs the same device that unsf did which is enough for most uses. Congrats, you're done!
you can also use the pnss command as root to change, reset, or disable the fingerprint spoofing.
run the 'pnss' command from terminal for usage information
example command:
Code:
su
pnss set thumb MyDeviceThumbprint/8.1/etc/etc

@PetNoire May I ask a favour (as I've done to other users that hav updated @Deic's module to the current template in the past)? If you're going to re-release the module with the current template, at least please fix it so that it no longer replaces Magisk's internal Busybox with it's own. Really bad practice and we never did get @Deic to fix that before he disappeared...
If you need a specific module Busybox, place it in the module folder instead and call the commands from there, or make sure that the users know that they have to install @osm0sis Busybox, or if you're really in a pinch just use the internal Magisk Busybox then, but at least don't replace it with one that have the possibility to mess up Magisk's internal functions.
Also, it would be a good idea if you gave @Deic a bit more credit than you're doing right now (a tiny, tiny link at the top of your post just isn't enough), no matter that he's MIA. All you've really done is to transfer his module to the current template and added a check for the current Magisk version and it's paths. I'd suggest you make that more apparent so you don't risk being accused of passing someone else's work off as your own.

Also, it would be a good idea if you gave @Deic a bit more credit than you're doing right now (a tiny, tiny link at the top of your post just isn't enough), no matter that he's MIA. All you've really done is to transfer his module to the current template and added a check for the current Magisk version and it's paths. I'd suggest you make that more apparent so you don't risk being accused of passing someone else's work off as your own.

Thanks for the tip on busybox. I thought it was pretty weird that it replaced it like that for 2 commands but was more concerned about getting it to work at all. I'll look into fixing that soon.
update: i think i almost have it working on magisk's busybox but still working out some bugs.
And I'll edit it to give him some more credit right away.

That would be great.
I thought I'd give some insight into what the module actually does, for those that are wondering, since it might get lost in translation between the different updates to the module by others than @Deic.
The USNF module is made up of two parts. For one, it changes the device fingerprint to a certified one to pass the ctsProfile check (the in-built one is a Xiaomi print, but IIRC you can also use the device stock fingerprint if it's already certified). This is also something that can be done with a Magisk boot script (post-fs-data.d or service.d) and the resetprop tool:
Code:
resetprop ro.build.fingerprint <certified fingerprint value>
There are also Magisk modules available that do the same thing (apart from USNF).
Device Spoofing Tool by @Dreamer(3MF) is one (although it also changes a whole lot of other props to simulate a OnePlus 2).
And there's also my MagiskHide Props Config that changes the build fingerprint to one of your choice.
Or, if you don't care about the systemlessness, you can directly edit your build.prop file and change the current ro.build.fingerprint to a certified one.
So, for the device fingerprint and passing the ctsProfile there are a few options.
The second part of USNF is the custom MagiskHide (as described in the OP). The thing here though, is that for the majority of devices it is not necessary anymore, since (as it also says in the OP) @topjohnwu have fixed most of those issues. From what it seems, from user reports in different threads, this is only necessary on some MIUI releases (Xiaomi devices). The module actually started out as a "Xiaomi SafetyNet fix" (check the module id), but the build fingerprint part turned out to be useful for other devices, so @Deic changed the name to "Universal". All other devices should be good with only changing the device fingerprint.
So far, it doesn't seem like the custom MagiskHide from the module is interfering in any way with the real thing. But, considering that it hasn't been updated in over a year, who knows.
Class dismissed.
Is there any reason to keep the code for old magisk? Does anyone still use 12-14?
Seems to have helped on my S8 with KingROM
My Magisk updated to 17.1 and then GooglePay started getting upset that I had rooted, mucked around with various things including the 'MagiskHide Props Config' module which my S8 never seems happy with (random reboots when installed) but this seems to do the trick.
I installed via Magisk Manager but it seemed to kill the Magisk install when I rebooted, reinstalled Magisk and now all seems ok so a big thumbs up from me
I wonder how the magiskhide part (at least the "add", etc. scripts) can work, because you use the old outdated "/magisk"-folder, that is no longer supported since 16.3 (or so).

For some reason it doesn't always work the first time. Usually just rebooting fixes it.

I thought I changed it all. You sure there isnt some kind of version check? I'll look at it later
Again first goal was to get it working. Next goal is to make it awesome
Hmm.. this doesn't work with my phone (HTC one M8). After I flashed it, wiped cache (TWRP), it said "complete" on the log, then it will never boot to my OS, stuck on the HTC logo, no boot animation. I use TWRP

Does it boot after disabling the module?
From twrp>advanced>terminal:
HTML:
Mount -o loop /data/adb/magisk.img /mnt
Touch /mnt/universal-safetynet-fix/disable
The reboot
so.. i kind of deleted the whole magiskhide clone from the module and just left the prop configs and its totally passing safetynet now. so i guess the normal magiskhide is enough and is just missing some prop resets.
@PetNoire I still failed to pass safetynet, When I flashed the module, my magisk was erased, but then I just saw from this thread that a reboot is needed. After reboot my magisk came back, but It' says "Requires Additional Setup" I ignore it and then checked if safetynet will pass, It failed.
I'm using stock CM FLARE S4 ROM android 5.1.
Sorry for my English.
Thankyou for the reviving this module. :good:
Godbless you.

That was kind of the point of my longish text above... All you need to pass on a device that doesn't fully pass SafetyNet (ctsProfile fails while basicIntegrity passes), is usually just to change ro.build.fingerprint to a certified fingerprint (and there are several ways to go about that, but the Magisk way always involves the resetprop tool somehow). Custom ROMs, developer versions of OEM firmwares (Oneplus 6 beta, for example), and otherwise uncertified devices can usually pass SafetyNet like this.

This was just the first one that gave me any success so I initially assumed it was because of the hiding. I wasn't even able to pass basic integrity without this one and most others didn't help either. I tries yours at one point with no success. Do you change all the "dangerous props" that this one does?

Basic integrity passing has nothing to do with the device fingerprint or other props. With Magisk, that usually means that MagiskHide isn't working (for whatever reason, most of the times it just needs a restart) or you have something installed that MagiskHide can't hide (like Xposed, remnants of other kinds of root, etc).
Edit: Scroll down a little here for a table of examples of what will cause a true or false cts profile or basic integrity response.

I don't know what Tue additional setup does, but I always do it and its been working. Also your device may have thumbprint props instead of fingerprint.
Run this in a terminal and let me know what you get
Code:
getprop | grep print

My module changes all the common fingerprint props, but as far as I know, it's only ro.build.fingerprint that is important for the ctsProfile check.

I wiped all partitions, installed lineage 15, installed magisk and enabled hide and it wouldn't pass basic at any point. Even still its never passed it without this module. It didn't even pass it on the clean install, before magisk

Xposed causes Snapchat to temporarily lock account?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920W8 with the UlTiMaTe NouGaT S8+ Full Port V3.1 ROM. I am rooted with Magisk V18.0, and have Snapchat enabled in Magisk Hide. Every time I install Xposed v89.3 by topjohnwu, I get a message from Snapchat team a few hours later saying that my account is being temporarily locked for 12+ hours. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Is there a way to stop this? Is this caused by Xposed?
Xposed or root, i dont know but i had to say goodbye to snapchat since there is no way to get it working on rooted devices,i unroot, login, then root and after a couple of hours or maybe a day cant log in...titanium backup didnt do the trick neither, it is server syncd so they find out and block u
Yes, you have to hide root from Snapchat using Magisk Hide and uninstall Snapchat.
Then flash Xposed uninstall by flashing the uninstaller zip in recovery, reboot to system, install Snapchat and hide root from it and login, once logged in reboot to recovery, flash Xposed, reboot to system and it should work and stay working.
Repeat process in future if necessary.

That will work for MAYBE a few days. SC scans your phone now for xposed/root and will instantly ban it. Also, it keeps your device id stored on a blacklist so you'd have to change that too. They've gotten a lot sneaker about it. You can use an app like xprivacy lua or app ops to block this reading permission but it'll probably crash SC constantly. A few guys and I are trying to spoof the reading and device id and not get it to freak out but it's a slow process

Can't say I've ever only had it work for a few days, or only ever had it maybe work. It's worked for months now without issue.
I've also not had Snapchat "scan my phone" and I don't do anything special in that department, just regular Magisk Hide.
I've had it stop working once, months ago as I said above, and I just did the process and it started working again, no device ID change or blocking of permissions.

If you gave sc storage permission, then yes it does scan your phone periodically. It's declared in detail, in apps like app ops. Anyway though, without anyone capturing logs of when the ban is done (I'm talking to everyone that runs a sc mod of any sort) , nobody can really come up with the exact reason for them, only make educated guesses because it seems to not be one thing related \_(•-•)_/ Happy snapping!
Seems to be that Snapchat is detecting Xposed, whether it be non-systemless up to 8.1 oreo (v90 beta-3), systemless by topjohnwu, or systemless for 7.0-9.0 (EdXposed). I used Snapchat with non-systemless Xposed by rovo89 up till a month ago when I upgraded to PIE, then I used EdXposed. My new 9.0 PIE setup worked well with SnapFreedom and EdXposed until I upgraded EdXposed and Snapchat to 10.51.0.0 when I got my first ban.
Plan for attack (haven't tried, banned on alt) to use Snapchat and Xposed (Possibly also Xposed modules?) without ban:
-Use AppCloner to rebuild the snapchat apk with minimal permissions (I have premium version). I was going to go this route, but AppCloner rebuilds com.snapchat.android to com.snapchat.androie, breaking SnapFreedom. Bare permisisons: CAMERA, MICROPHONE, and maybe LOCATION? PHONE permission will give away your IMEI and other stuff, and STORAGE may trigger Xposed detection.
-Use LuckyPatcher to deny snapchat certain perissmions, including read external storage.
This thread got me thinking: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-root-snapchat-uninstall-xposed-t3909199
I am using Pixen OS android 10 on oneplus 6. I have magisk root and want to install xposed. How to prevent snapchat account lock?
