[CM12] [need help here] Root not working through privacy guard - Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
This has been going on for 1-2 months now.
My root on CM12 stopped working.
Weird thing is that Xposed isn't complaining and it's working, kind of.
However, Greenify, FlashFire, and other root apps I have refuse to work.
Root options have disappeared as well, and I'm not sure why. I can still enable and disable root but it isn't working no matter what.
Other people have the same issue as well. (See the CM12 ROM thread and my post there)
Thanks.

[Q] Losing Root

Has anyone had problems with their Moto X losing root? Maybe like every 2 or 3 days my phone loses its root access. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason on why it does. If i reboot my phone, my root access is back and works fine for the next few days and then its gone again until another reboot. Its so weird. It doesn't matter which app that I run. I'm running kitkat now. I had no problems rooting it. I don't recall having the problem when I was running on 4.2
No issues here, I've been rooted and stable for a few months now.
The only time I ever lost root on a phone was when I installed Airwatch for corporate email and apps and stuff. I didn't -know- I was losing root or I never would have done it. Strangely everything that was previously granted SU access worked, but any new requests were not processed.
Have you installed any apps or changed anything else in your system? What method did you use to root?
Is SuperSU just being removed, or it stops working? Sounds strange for sure.
It sounds like you're having the same problem I had, I could be wrong though. Here's the thread I created, give it a shot.

This seems to make sense. I would bet that most people that root are also running MotoWPNoMo (or whatever it is..) as well because things like Xposed and other apps that install as system apps won't work without this, or booting through recovery as described.
I ran it right away because Xposed wouldn't work, and haven't had any issues.
You're not losing root... The issue is that JCase's rooting method uses an exploit to disable write protection, and sometimes the write protection comes back.
If you're on 4.2.2, just run MotoWpNoMo from this thread - > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551113
I don't have any crazy apps or new frameworks installed. That motowpnomo is that for KitKat or 4.2.2?

Losing Root after installing XPosed

So, I am using PIE from jcase and everything seems to go smoothly until I install XPosed.
Once I soft-reboot in the xposed installer, the device comes back to life but then after the screen is turned off for about 1 minute or more, I lose all root privileges. Funny thing is, any root checkers I run say that my phone still has root.
I really have no idea what could be causing this.
any ideas?
Why not ask in the PIE thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771623
Already talked to him. He doesn't have any clue either..
I got my B/L unlocked today and have full time root. This is no longer needed.

Jcase posted he didn't want talk about Xposed, tethering, safestrap, etc... ( HERE ) in that thread... He wanted to keep it just about Pie itself.

rootcloak im unsure as i have uninstalled it (didnt need it) and xtouchwiz i hacent retried. something (maybe a setting in xtouchwiz) was giving me some sim card pop up that wouodnt go away on boot and wouod make me reboot to recovery to do something to ky sim that just failed and the pop up would be there upon boot. i had to odin to get rid of it. it happened 3 times and each time it happened i had rootcloak and xtouchwiz installed. since removing both i hacent had a problem. so no i didnt and i believe one of them caused the problem. if anyone is using both or one or the other let me know what you do and dont have enabled or disabled in each module.

I appreciate your feedback. It would be inaccurate for me to reply with mine as I use the unlocked firmware. But in this case, the results were the same more or less.

i have since installed xtouchwiz and have no problems i turned a few things off that were on by default. i turned off fake system status and the disable scaling feature that was on. it works. rootcloak i have also reinstalled but i don't think it works. im not sure, i know snapchat has problems logging in if your rooted and i am experiencing this problem with or without rootcloak so i believe it is not working but i could be wrong.
Hi, I am new to xda and Android as a whole. So I have rooted (SM-G935A) and I can't find any way to install xposed because TWRP doesnt support the snapdragon variants. Do you mind telling me how you did it?

Xiaomi mi5 cm13 minor problems

Hi all.
I installed cm13 on my mi5 pro yesterday. Looking good so far. I only have minor issues. The first and most important is I can't swap the back and recent button. I've already got used to miui method ( back on the right, recent button on the left).
How can I change them on cm13? Unfortunately closed+gravity can't help me, because after installing them my banking app (Barclay's) thinks that my phone is rooted and closes with an FC. I've also tried the buttons on the screen option, but in this way I lose screen size, though I can change the buttons I believe.
The other small issue is that I don't really like the menu in this alphabetical order system. Can I use something else instead? Like what is in Nova launcher, just a normalenu, nothing else.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Cheers!
the first issue is related to kernel... when cm will be based on the kernel released from xiaomi, the problem will be solved. don't worry, developers are working on it
I found the a method and it is working:

For the drawer style you can change that in the launcher's settings. Long press a free spot on your home screen, then press settings and change style to "compact".
This swaps the two capacitive buttons around to xiaomi setup instead of Google
you can also find it on this url: https://store.shade.sh/mi5/ from the unofficial cm13 weekly build thread if you do not wish to download it from myself
Thank you guys its working like a miracle.
Now I have another problem, but this time it looks massive.
So my problem is that cm13 is pre rooted when you install it. Well, I have no problem with it, but unfortunately my banking app ( Barclay's) has. I can't use it, because it says rooted device not supported. I've already checked developer options, and root access is disabled, but this doesn't help, I still have issues with the app. I tried flash SuperSU+binaries from twrp, opened app after flash and use full unroot, same problem, banking app thinks my phone is still rooted. I'm thinking about trying out the slim (aosp based) ROM if I can't find any working method.
Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you one again

Tried out this method, but as soon as I tried to start banking app, it closed with an fc. Yes I remember now, that was the problem few days back.
Hm...I can't think anything else..

Try using shade.sh's userbuilds. They are built without built in root. They are under the category "userbuilds" on his website.
Success!
I had to install aosp to to realize what's the problem here. After I did that the same problem happened.: Banking app says my phone is rooted. So I tried doing the same methods on aosp what I did on cm13, except Xposed+gravity because I knew my apps gonna FC. So I tried safe unroot apk from play store, no luck. I also tried this app the night before.
Then i thought maybe I should enable root in developer options, because yesterday morning with this was a half success, Barclays mobile banking app( debit card) said, the device is rooted, I touched ok, then it started without any problems. It was only half success, because the other app Barclaycard (credit card) didn't work, same problem: the phone is rooted. So I tried out the following, and that was the complete success:
Enabled root access for apps only in dev options than i started safe unroot from play->everything's working like a charm.
Thank you guys for help!

Bank app detecting root or modified system

I'm trying to use this app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=br.com.banrisul
I've added to the hiding list and enable core only mode, it still closes at startup after saying my phone is either root or running a modified system. I've tested with rootbeercheck and it doesn't detect root in any of its tests.

No issues opening the app here... That means Magisk is perfectly capable of hiding from it, but you might have something else in your setup that triggers it.

but what exactly would trigger it? The link talks mostly about methods to hide magisk, I didn't find anything about what to do if magisk is working but the check fails. I've uninstalled titaniumbackup and rootbrowser. I've disable adb and developer options, I've deleted any folder or downloaded file related to magisk or those apps.
I'm running lineageos, would that be it? How would I go about it?
Could be any number of things... Your ROM might be one of them (more details about that?). It's pretty much impossible for me to do anything else but make educated guesses. The only thing I can say with relative certainty is that it shouldn't have anything to do with Magisk (since I can hide from the app just fine when testing).
You do pass SafetyNet, right? Could be that this is one of those apps that actually use SN.

It passes both checks.
I am running lineage OS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2) on a moto g4.
My main guess is that it's detecting something about your ROM. LOS is well known enough for apps to look for certain properties of it.

Yes, after searching around a bit more I found about why. I completely forgot that I had flashed supersu on my phone before flashing magisk. So I guess that's what the app was freaking out about. So I flashed a supersu removal and reflashed my ROM, now the app is working normally
Thanks for the help!
Same problem
Hello everyone
After the last update of my banking app and wallet too
Both apps stopped starting due tl root device detection
While it was working well yesterday
I just updat apps to the last version
I think these app's developers find a way to detect magisk
Of course im hiding and randomly renaming it
