I have magisk 20.4 and magisk manager 8 installed on my phone. Magisk passes safetynet but some apps are still able to detect root and do not work.
I am planning to give my phone to my mother and buy a new model. But my mother also uses apps which can detect root on my phone and won't accept the phone If these apps don't work. If I uninstalled magisk and magisk manager will these apps stop detecting root?
Does anyone kno any way to relock bootloader and root ?

There is no way to relock the bootloader and to remove root simply reflash stock FW.

Some annoying banking apps are now detecting root - even with Magisk Hide, renaming the magisk mangaer package, etc.
Yes, going into Magisk Manager and doing a full unroot/uninstall will allow most apps to work again .

Yeah the major 1 detecting root on my phone is a banking app only.

A few days ago I posted a question about not being able to install any Xposed modules here, so far no one answered: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-framework-installed-running-t3567230
I thought this problem had something to do with the modules specifically, but it turns out that on my phone, for whatever reason, installing the framework subsequently prevents ALL apps from installing, even those from Google Play itself, displaying a "-504" error.
I see people have asked this question before, but are also not getting answers: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/install-apps-installing-framework-t3430922
Please, if anyone has any idea of why this can be and how to fix it, let me know. Any help will be infinitely appreciated!
What phone and ROM are you using?
One thing you could try is to install systemless Xposed through Magisk. Then use MagiskHide to hide both root and Xposed from all Google apps and potential sources of conflict. If it's a software limitation/conflict, this may be a workaround.
Keep in mind that you will have to root your phone with Magisk rather than SuperSU or any other form of root.

Hey, thank you for your answer!
I am using a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua E2306, rom is 26.1.A.1.112 Latin America Generic. It is rooted and with TWRP installed accroding to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/general/root-e2306-m4-aqua-guide-t3270521
I also have a locked bootloader, and it cannot be unlocked, so unfortunately that shuts the door on most rooting options.
I never heard of Magisk before, but from what I'm seeing, it looks it TWRP is required to get root with Magisk, but some kind of root is already required on my phone in order to get TWRP. So I'm not sure how to go about this.
If your phone is already rooted, then you can download Magisk Manager application and have it installed it's necessary frameworks through the app itself. You won't be able to use Magisk's root, but you'll still be able to install systemless Xposed and hide it from other apps.
Edit: Ignore all of that actually, I just realized that magisk requires boot image modifications so you have to have an unlocked bootloader to use it.

Oh well, thanks anyway. I might try it anyways, maybe it will work, you never know. Don't have much to lose at this point

FIY Magisk cannot hide Xposed...
I also facing these problem on my rooted Asus zenfone 2 (ze550ml 2gb ram version, Stock ROM, bootloader unlocked) and Asus Zenpad C 7 (p01y, stock rom, bootloader unlocked). The xposed firmware (version 86) is successfully install but can't install any apps from play store and using apk...
I really hope that dev team can solve it.....
Sorry for any grammatical mistakes....
The only way is to flash the firmware
I'm getting the same problem on my LG G4 with v88.2 of Xposed :/
I don't Know if this is too late,but I also have this problem. But there is a work around, go into the xposed installer and turn the switch off so its disabled on the next boot. rebot the device and exposed and its modules are disabled, allowing you to install apps from play store and downloaded .apk files... it would still be nice to install applications while its still on.
Sent from my LG-K550 using XDA Labs
I had this issue on my LGG3. This happens when you have Lucky Patcher enabled in your xposed modules. Disabling it (Lucky Patcher) should solve the problem.
I successfully installed magisk on my samsung s8 but now the secure folder, software updates and maybe other apps don't work as they recognise my phone being rooted. I thought the point behind magisk was to hide the phone from looking rooted?
how can i fix this issue?
thanks
You tripped KNOX by flashing custom binaries. You're boned.
is there a way to root the phone without tripping KNOX?

There might be, but I don't think there's any going back for you. As far as I know you can't revert a triggered KNOX...
I installed magisk because I thought knox won't be tripped but I was wrong.
Does anyone know how I can use secure folder, software updates and banking apps now that my app is rooted? they can all recognise my app is rooted and won't work

You can still hide Magisk from many apps with Magisk. You'll just have to activate Magisk Hide in the Manager settings. SafetyNet is added by default and any other app that detects root might be fooled if you add it to the Magisk Hide list.
I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again. The purpose of Magisk is NOT to hide root and pass SafetyNet (it's just a really nice feature); it's to make your system modifications systemless. You could use this to keep your devices ability to update through OTA, with a couple of extra steps. But, the main advantage for me (and it's the deal-breaker) is that I don't have to redo any of my system modifications after an update. These could be changing screen density, debloating system apps, systemising apps, changing prop values, etc. Before Magisk I could spend 30-45 minutes after an update just setting upp all the system tweaks the way I wanted it, only to realise a couples of days later I'd forgotten something. Now, with Magisk - flash the update, done!

I have activated Magisk Hide and selected the app (Lloyds banking app) then restarted the phone but the app can still recognize that the phone is modified.
I'll look at the other solution that are being proposed in one of the links you've sent and sew how it goes but if anyone has any advice on how to fix this, that will be great.
I have backup for my bootloader,boot,system etc - flashing that back, will it revert the knox?
Thanks

I don't do Samsung, but as I understand it: nope.
More info can probably be found in your device's forum here on XDA.

Realise this is a very late reply, but if still had no joy with Lloyd's banking app, it will store it's root detection so will still think your phone's rooted even after Magisk Hide. Need to wipe the app data or reinstall.
I've installed Magisk 17.3 and the Manager app says everything is ok. But RootChecker says that root access is not properly installed. Is it true that Huawei is locking root access on their phones. Is there a workaround?
Thx.
NB: Is there a requirement to install a newer version of TWRP? I've got 3.2.1-0 installed on my AL10.
You have twrp on your device so that means your bootloader is already unlocked... So it's magisk acting up maybe you need a clean install of magisk or you should see if your phone roots with supersu if it does that means you just have a faulty installation of magisk it happens
[emoji3434] For Those I Love I Shall Sacrifice [emoji3434]
Ha ha. I re-installed Magisk v17.1 and RootChecker says I have root access. I had installed 17.3 before with no luck. Weird.
But thanks for the response.
Does anyone know a working method to hiding root in android 8? Cant access snapchat or my hulu but also don't want to get rid of my root.
Yes. It's called Magisk.
Just activate magisk hide on snapchat.
Magisk works for SC, but not many other apps. Sometimes you need to reinstall the app if you late install magisk.
Hi all,
I just installed the latest stable EU rom on my Mi note 10 device. I've used TWRP and magisk 23.0. And also, I did an IMEI repair operation.
Everything was fine until I tried to install my banking app. I uninstalled magisk (on the app and using twrp). (Also, uninstall and re-install the banking app) However, still, my banking app detects the root!
What is the correct way to remove root access and get rid of root warning? (I dont need root anymore).
Thanks in advance
There are several things that an app might be looking for besides Magisk. Enabled developer options, unlocked bootloader, etc...
