I'm using a Galaxy S8, Android 7.0, Magisk 16.6. When I try to play Pokemon go, it gives me the "OS not supported" message. The 16.3 fix didn't work back when it came out and I haven't been able to play since then. I did check the app in Magisk Hide and I activated the setting to hide Magisk Manager with a random package name, but it still doesn't work. Is there anything else I should do?
The only thing you can do that will work is to completely uninstall magisk. That should let you play pokemon go.
Pokemon also looks for a bunch of known root apps on your device, not only Magisk. And MagiskHide can't hide other apps.

There are a whole bunch... Busybox installers, system cleaners, etc. There's an old list available somewhere in the Magisk PoGo thread (search), but that list might be outdated. Easiest thing is to uninstall some root apps and see if it works better.
An easier alternative, if you have the means to do it, is to use a clean spare phone/tablet for Pokemon Go, and keep your phone how you need/want it for everything else. Bluetooth data sharing is enough bandwidth to make PoGo work.

Sure.
Make sure you have Pokemon on the Hide list.
Hide the Magisk Manager (in the Manager settings)
Delete the MagiskManager folder on your internal storage (next time you download/install a module through the Manager the folder will be recreated).
Edit: There will likely be an update to Magisk that will hide the MagiskManager folder. But for now this is a workaround.

Hmmm, tried all this, but still PoGo will not comply, even when I sandbox it in the work profile. (island app) The latter sounds a bit strange to me, as it should limit access to anything. (Magisk Manager gets installed, but is hidden)
To be honest, PoGo is just a test for when they start messing with Ingress as well. When it's getting to much trouble to have the app behave, it's out. They are just games, nothing to compromise my device for.
Also rename or delete every file or folder on your internal storage / sdcard that contains "magisk"

Any file? Not only the directory, but one that can be found somewhere on the device/external sdcard? (Like Magisk-v16.7.zip which you need to install it...)
Strange it should see it when sandboxed.
You can try, someone else said so, I did also do it and had no problem anymore so far.
But you should be right, that when its sandboxed it should not see it anyways...

Before using the hide magisk manager option, make sure magisk manager is NOT a system app. This will successfully repack magisk manager.
Then delete magisk fodler from internal storage and hide PoGO.

May be other ROMs come with integrated Magisk. That was the case in mine. Convert it to user app first.
Then try magisk hide again and look for the package name in app info (It should be something random). Then continue with other steps as it is and it should work fine.
Let us know how it goes
Hi togehter,
if you use the Fake GPS Route, then uninstall via TWRP Magisk and then works PoGo (new version) perfekt, that works with my Samsung S5
I have a problem with my Samsung S7 edge, if I uninstall Magisk, then I have the problem, that the S7 go to a bootloop <--- Have anyone a idea?
Samsung S7 Edge
6.0.1
SecurePatch 01.12.2016
TWRP Recovery
If I install Magisk again, then boot the Samsung S7 without a bootloop, but then dont work PoGo
Xamel
Uninstall in the magisk app not by flashing a zip in recovery

Hi All,
I have rooted my note 8 with magisk. As far as i am aware, Snapchat wont work unless i unroot and log in, then root again? Could someone point me in the right direction on how to uninstall the root please?
Second question, i know secure folder will no longer work because the knox has been tripped. Is there an alternative way to hide pictures or an alternative to secure folder?
Thanks in advance

If you have rooted with Magisk correctly you should just be able to open Magisk Manager app and go into the settings and open Magisk Hide and select Snapchat. This will hide root from Snapchat.
once you have done that close snapchat and reopen and try to login.
All other apps that use Google Safteynet should pass automatically without magisk hide if magisk is installed and working as it should.
*You do not need to uninstall root*
however the simple procedure is
- flash magisk uninstall zip
to reinstall you just flash magisk install zip and install magisk manager app
all can be found here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
it would be a good idea to clear cache/dalvik too (first boot will take 5-10 mins after cache wipe)
As for a file hiding app theres quite a few apps on the playstore but nothing is as secure as secure folder. Your better off zipping your personal documents with a password and unzipping them when you need them. Heck i would not worry too much about security now your device is rooted you have lost a lot of security your no longer encrypted meaning you could fish anything that was on your device even if its been deleted by normal means.
Hi,
I have a banking app wich loink I provide hereby: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rsi.ruralviawallet2
In the latest versions it just crashes, and after force closing and few opening and closing the app tells me that the system is modified and cannot run.
I have MAGISK 16 with magisk hide and the app checked to hide root, USB debugging deactivated as well...
Tried to use the uninstall magisk and un-SU scripts and cache clean but still crashing, So it may not have anything to do with Magisk, but since I had it installed it may have left something over there that the app is detecting as a mofied system...
Any Ideas ?
Thanks so much for your help
Make sure to also hide the Manager. I can open the app just fine if it's added to the Hide list and with the Manager hidden.
There might also be other things causing issues... Check here for more tips:

Thank you
Anyhow it's still not working, I have uninstalled all the apps that can be only runt with Root in case that was the cause, but still crashing. The Phone is unrooted now...
I will try now to Re-intall Magisk and hide everything, see if it does work :S
If anyone has a similar issue or idea, all help would me much appreciated.
Thanks again

When you don't have Magisk installed there are a whole bunch of stuff that may trigger the app that MagiskHide otherwise hides. Try with Magisk again...
Thank you very much for your help!!
For people that's having the same issue, I've solved it uninstalling several apps like TWRP MANAGER, ROOT EXPLORER and other apps that can only be used with root, after did a wipe cache and rebooted.
Take care with TWRP, when you install the recovery it asks to install an APK and usually almost everyone hits yes. This app is most likely detected by some apps and considered as system modification. @Didgeridoohan thank you!! ( It may be useful to put tjis in your Wiki for everyone to be warned about this so you dont receive this question again )
Reinstalled Magisk, Hid the Magisk Manager, selected the app to hide on the list and it worked!
Everything's fine now.
Thanks a lot for you kind help
bkash app
pixel 9.0 rom bkash app not working.... every rooted app unstall also twrp manager dismiss. clear the CAcHe & facory resat but result is bkash app not run
I was wondering if its possible to root my device and install TWRP on my S7 Edge, whilst still being able to play pokemon go? As i have looked around on the internet and found that they are clamping down on rooted android users that try to play pokemon go. Im not sure if there are ways around pokemon go detecting the device as being rooted, but ive also tried magisk hide, but had no luck. Im also not sure on the safetynet fix thing, but i have rooted devices before. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Yes you can. Install Magisk.
Use Magisk Hide for Pokemon app
Then go into Magisk Manager settings and select the option to "Hide Magisk Manager"
Pretty easy.
Make sure you dont have any folders or files with the word Magisk on your sd card since pokemon now searches that.

Thanks. Is there also a way to keep s-health working? As i heard once you root, it triggers knox and stops certain apps from working.
Tried using magisk hide and hiding the magisk app itself but neither works. Somehow it is still detecting that my device is rooted. I don't have any other rooting on my phone.
It used to work with the Huntington bank app just fine.
Anyone else have this issue?
Having the same problem recently with Chase Mobile.
Any way to reach the dev and let him know or to help him test it with these apps?
Have the same problem with the new update of my banking app "Natixis Banxy".
They found a way to detect magisk even when everything is hidden.
Try renaming the TWRP folder on your Internal Storage to something else. Then try your Banking app again. (Only applies to TWRP users).
Thanks but I'm not using TWRP. I do use it to initially load Magisk, but I don't keep it on the phone.

Doesn't appear to as I don't have a TWRP folder anywhere on my phone.
Bump for more thoughts and suggestions
I have been annoyed by this for so long but I finally just found a solution. If anybody is still having this issue, go into settings of magisk manager and find "Hide Magisk Manager" in the list. I stuck with the default name of "Manager" and then after that I cleared the storage for Huntington. I should also note that I have MagiskHide enabled for Huntington too but I don't know if that is needed when hiding Magisk Manager itself. After all that, fingerprint works and I can send money with Zelle again from the app.
Hello to all folks,
This is a weird one.
My banking app could see rooted state although the app was in the hide list and also the Magisk Manager was hidden too (renamed, reinstalled etc).
So I was out of options until I read this:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHideHidingRoot
Among other useful bits and pieces it says "If an app still can detect Magisk, even if you have it on the Hide list, the Manager is repackaged and everything else from this list of tips is ok, try to uninstall the Manager and see if this helps. If that works, you might be out of luck and the only way to fully use the app in question is to regularly uninstall and then reinstall the Magisk Manager..."
I did so and here is the crazy part...
After uninstalling magisk manager app then a series of things took place:
My banking app now works ok
Root checker says root not properly applied
All apps that need root to work (TitaniumBk, Adaway, CallRecorder) see device as rooted and work flawlessly.
In other words, as like magic everything works fantastic!
Problem/Question/Worry: What will happen after I reboot?
Any ideas please?
Thank you very much!
You just made my day! Someone actually did their homework...
If you don't have the Manager installed you will end up having issues with superuser requests. Reinstalling the Manager after using the banking app is probably a good idea. Or you could probably set up a script or an app to freeze and unfreeze the Manager at the press off a button. I'll have to look into that and add to the guide.
Update:
I had to uninstall and reinstall TitaniumBk and sure enough TitaniumBk didn't get root permissions.
So I installed again Magisk Manager and updated to 8.0.0 and decided to try once more to hide Magisk Manager by renaming it to a different name than "Manager".
I noticed an important difference compared to previous endless times of hiding MM: The newly installed MM had a diferrent icon than the original one with the masked face.
And then...
...magic happened!
All banking apps didn't decect root!
Root checker could see device rooted!
Conclusions:
1. Either the MM 8.0.0 has a better hide MM feature
2.or my installation of MM 7.5.1 wasn't robust
Who knows...
Anyway this is my underatnding and I wsih there is a script to freeze/unfreeze MM with the push of button because in this battle of app developers against MM it's not always safe to assume that the "hide MM" feature will do the trick.
Thnak you again

This, most likely.
With this new Manager, the stub that is used is completely empty (which is why you're seeing the basic Android icon) and much harder to detect.
