Hi,
I have a HTC One running ARHD 20.1 Rom. I recently installed the "HideYourRoot" (previously called Hide My Root) app on to my phone. I used the Hide Root feature on the app so the root was hidden. I later uninstalled the app forgetting to change it back to "Hide Unroot" and now i have lost my root access and apps that require root will no longer work. I have tried installing the app again and changing settings to "Unhide root", however that did not work.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
I would try this:

Having problems with Root Explorer. I open app, and it tells me that it cannot gain root. Does not go any farther. I know I have rooted, as I am using Titanium Backup and have backed up my apps (And also put apps on the color nook using TIBU). I have tried to uninstall Superuser using ADB, and to install a newer version, but have failed. I am using Superuser 2.3.6.1. Help needed!!
Sounds like root explorer needs to be added to your superuser whitelist...

Hey guys,
I've been messing around with my phone trying out nadlabak's CM6 for milestone. After removing it (because of lack of apps2ext) i flashed my nandroid recovery back (GOT android 2.1 with root) but somehow I seem to have lost my root access.
The superuser.apk is still present, and opens listing apps granted access, but all my other apps that require root (setcpu, titanium backup, autostarts etc) does not have root access.
I currently use Androliani's recovery but running the root script causes my phone to hang.
Any idea why / solutions?
You need to root again your milestone by using z4root. After that all your required root apps can be used. I'm sure you know how to install this app,right?
Just place the app at the root of your sdcard,ON the phone and use app installer,or open astro file,etc to install the app.

Hi all
I've run into this this morning just to realize that it had happened before :
swapper2 app, which has had root access since I installed it (of course), requested root access but under the name "swapper2 [uid]".
I granted the access and checked in SuperSU, the app appears twice, once as "swapper2" and once as "swapper2 [uid]".
There is another app with "double root access" : catlog.
Can someone explain why this is so, and whether I should worry or not ?
For the moment, I removed the second root access of both apps.
It's a quirk in how these apps request root access. If the first time the [uid] variant showed up was when actually using those apps, then there is nothing to worry about.
Open supersu go to settings uncheck Re-authentication
I don't want to uncheck re-auth, I want to be that the apk running with root is the one I allowed to run with root.
Those two apps where not updated, swapper2 was sideloaded, I don't think it's available on the play store.
Anyway to hide root? Magisk has the option but it seems some apps still know my phone is rooted.
Thanks guys.

That's the only option I think, just toggle hide on the individual apps and hope for the best
If simply toggling the specific app under "Magisk Hide" doesn't work, you can always take the extra step of "Hiding Magisk Manager" which is found under the settings menu. That will help hide root for apps that take the extra step of searching for the Magisk Manager app as a way of detecting root.
I've found that sometimes you have to clear the app data for the app that still sees root after you've hidden it in magisk.
Thanks guys. Gave these a shot but no luck unfortunately. It's only one app. My carrier app detects that I have a 'jaikbroken' device and won't continue lol. It couldn't search for and unlocked bootloader could it?
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.
