2 Solutions! Problem w/ MagiskHide being disabled after reboot/closing MagiskManager.

Magisk Hide (Masking Magisk SuperUser) - 2 Problems w/ Magisk Hide being disabled after reboot or closing Magisk Manager.
If you are using Magisk Manager and Magisk Root and are experiencing difficulty with Magisk Hide (Masking Magisk's SU) not showing in the Manager's side-menu or remembering its status in settings, it occurs when a file is not automatically deleted and removed.
PROBLEM:
Open Magisk Manager, Settings >> Enable Magisk Hide, close Manager, re-open and Magisk Hide is disabled and not visible (hidden) in the left side-menu. i.e. Exit, Close, Stop, Re-Open & Reboot Reset's Magisk Hide's State to Disabled.
SOLUTION 1.
Force stopped Magisk Manager.
Backup then Delete file /data/property/persist.magisk.hide (0600).
Launch Magisk Manager.
Go to Settings >> Enable Magisk Hide.
Go back to Manager home screen. Swipe to reveal side-menu and check Magisk Hide menu is visible.
Close Magisk Manager or Force stop.
Reopen and Swipe side-menu and confirm Magisk Hide is still visible!
I hope this helps others also experiencing issues with Hiding Super User SU. Thanks Shak!
SOLUTION 2.
Another Fix someone else has also posted Dec 2017 was in regards to an error "fopen: /magisk/.core/magiskhide/hidelist failed with 2: No such file or directory"
The issue is due to Magisk Manager being unable to save the list of ticked Apps to hide from SU to /magisk/.core/hidelist.
Check the existence of the "/magisk/.core/hidelist" path.
Create the "/hidelist" directory.
CHMOD "/magisk/.core/hidelist" to 0644.
Thanks to Dunderball. :highfive:

Thanks a lot! I have been looking this issue up for almost a week now.
Solution 1 worked for me.

No worries mate. Appreciate the feedback.
Someone else had a similar issue for a few weeks and was unable to resolve it until upgrading to 16.4 beta. But this isn't viable for everyone due to issues w/ 16.4+.
Thanks!

I would like to add to this thread that this doesn't work anymore with the newer versions of magisk. Eget did work for me though was to delete (and backup of course) /data/adb/magisk.db and then restart

which version you use ?
I use version 19.4, wont work if delete magisk.db.

LineageOs 17 on a Nexus 2013 Flo
Magisk 19.3
Magisk Manager 7.3.2
safetynet always fails after a reboot.
I tried renaming magisk.db and while magisk kept working generally, m-hide still fails the safetynet test after a reboot until I toggle hide.

I'll have to try that sometime in the future when I've got more time to experiment. I ended up going back to stock just to have a working tablet. I only use it for maps and streaming and since Netflix wouldn't work...

How to make a bakup?

[Help] Magisk hide works only when retoggled

Details: Huawei P20 Pro running 9.0. Magisk Manager v7 (latest), Magisk v18.2 (latest canary) original package name. Safety net passed.
I tested to make sure that magisk hide is working properly on my device. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.revolut.revolut&hl=en_GB. This app does not have fingerprint login enabled without magisk hide. Hence when I turn off magisk hide, you can't use fingerprint to login into the app. When I turn it back on, fingerprint login works. Also my bank app works.
Here is the problem. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starlingbank.android&hl=en_GB. This app does not seem to run even when magisk hide is on. Here's the kicker, even though magiskhide has been toggled and confirmed working, upon opening this app it will show the usual "device not secure/rooted" message. After this it somehow disable magiskhide as my revolut app no longer prompts for fingerprint and my bank app stops working.
I have to go back into magisk and retoggle magisk hide for it to work again. (However the starling bank app still fails the root check)
I'm really really frustrated now and will appreciate any help.
UDPATE: I did some stuff from https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/how-to-bypass-lloyds-root-detection-t3837206, the adaway host list. Added MagiskHide Props Config. I also set tasker to toggle magiskhide whenever I turn on my screen. Seems to work more consistently for now

Check the Magisk main thread and Github, there is a known problem with Magisk Hide in the 18.x. I went back to 17.x which work for me without any problems.

If Magisk Hide Of Magisk 18.x Is Working Intermittently (Which Means Also The Device Will Not Pass The SafetyNet Sometimes), Try To Use The Module Of Microsoft Intune Company Portal Hider Which Includes Also The Functionality Of Re-Enabling Magisk Hide Every 5 Min. For Magisk 18.x From This Thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-microsoft-intune-company-portal-t3780451. Awaiting Your Feedback.

Hi, some questions. Do I have to install also the Manager v6.10 to install Magisk v17.3? Or can I leave the last Manager? Then, I uninstall Magisk from the app and them I flash the v17.3 from (temporary) TWRP, is it correct?

The latest Magisk Manager dropped support for Magisk 17 or older, you need the matching Manager..

Thank you so much for your fast reply!

In the exact same situation as OP P20 Pro (maybe except im on LOS 16)
Magisk seems to be working fine passing safteynet and Root Beet finding nothing but yet the Starling Bank app and the Arriva Ticket app both figure out my phone is rooted after a while and lock out.

Had exact problem with Starling app with magisk hide and app on hide list. Turned out to be a direct build.prop modification so after resetprop -p all good now.

Can you expand on this a bit?
I've downloaded Magiskhide props config, and what do I have to do now?
For me, starling always works for couple of days and then it locks me out via the root screen.

I modified a build.prop directly before magisk install so compromised the system partition. I've used resetprop to mask it. Like you I'm occasionally getting root warning as well and have to re-authorise so magisk hide in 18.1 not perfect as mentioned a lot in a forum.

Hi,
it seams that the problem is still there. I have to retoggle Magisk Hide at every reboot of the phone.
Is there any workaround or any ETA on the fix?
Thank you.

No one?

Banking app detects root on multiple devices.

My banking app (PermataMobile X) is detecting root with Safetynet passed and Magisk Manager hidden. I asked some other people to install and see if they can pass the root detection to no avail.
I've tried some little things to narrow down the culprit like:
1. Installed Magisk Manager without flashing the magisk 20.4 zip file (unrooted). Detected as root. Uninstalling the manager immediately allows bank app to work.
2. Flashed Magisk 20.4 without installing Magisk Manager. Detected as root, obviously.
3. Went back to previous versions of Magisk and Magisk Manager. Still detected as root.
Anyone can give any tips on what else I can try to do?

If you can pass SafetyNet (cts profile) try to hide :
Magisk Manager with a random name (mandatory) ... and "Your banking app" must be hidden too along with Google Services of course !

There are currently several ways of detecting Magisk that MagiskHide can't circumvent.
If the app isn't using one of those (if it is you'll just have to wait for a possible update to Magisk), you can find some tips and tricks here:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_root_from_apps

Magisk cannot hide:
Other known root apps (see "Detecting apps requiring root"). (Shouldn't be a problem since even with a renamed manager and magisk unflashed it still works.)
Remnants of previous root method, including any root management apps (a good way to remove most remnants of root is osm0sis unSU script). (Magisk is unflashed and app immediately works.)
Unlocked bootloader (see Unlocked bootloader). (Magisk is unflashed and bootloader unlocked, app still works. I also tried custom rom and the stock rom.)
A tripped Samsung Knox counter. (Not a samsung phone.)
Xposed (deactivate it or uninstall). It doesn't matter if it's systemless, Magisk can't hide it. (Never used.)
EdXposed. Detection of EdXposed can sometimes be worked around with newer release of EdXposed and/or features like the EdXposed Manager blacklist. (Never used.)
USB/ADB Debugging (disable under Developer options in Android settings). (Magisk unflashed and debugging on, app works.)
Developer options. (Magisk unflashed and developer options is on, app works.)
Some Magisk modules - Depending on what the module does, it may not be able to be hidden by MagiskHide. (Tried core only mode which should disable all modules, still don't work.)
Some modifications to /system. Make sure to use Magisk modules... (I'm not sure what this means :c)
From that list it looks like it's something from Magisk itself that's tripping the detection :/
Im going bald from this.

If you've tested and confirmed everything else, it is very likely that the app is using a detection method that Magisk currently can't hide from.
Solution? Wait for @topjohnwu to possibly update Magisk/MagiskHide (alternatively, don't install Magisk). When? Whenever he feels like it...

Looks like someone posted a potential fix. Will wait for it to reach the master branch!

Have you find the workaround? I am using the same app and face same problem. This app last update gives headache

I am hidding root and edxposed using Island and installing intune inside the sandbox. Maybe the same will be with bank apps.

Sorry to be just now, but to the point of solution to this,
1. Install the disable services app and disable a process called "S17"
2. Done

Has Google disabled Magisk?

I installed a new ROM on my tablet and couldn't get Magisk to work, so I restored the ROM I was using previously. But Magisk wasn't working in it anymore. In researching the problem, it seems that Google has not only removed Magisk Manager from the Play Store, but also found a way to keep previously installed Magisk from granting root privileges.

You don't get Magisk from the playstore but from the Magisk thread.

If you read my later post you'll see that I found that out and tried it. None of the versions work with the ROM based on Android 11. I have always just installed an the latest version Magisk.zip I happen to have handy and let it install Magisk Manager. Then I'd use Magisk Manager to update Magisk. That didn't work with the Android 11 ROM either. The update failed and the older version didn't root.

Magisk v25.2 hide app/package

As title, I am running Magisk App v25.2, and trying to get undetected on RootBeer
I have enabled Zygisk
Installed Shamiko, SafetyNet fix and Magisk BuildProps, and 'hidden' RootBeer in the deny list
The device now passes every check except 'root management apps'
Enabled Magisk Hide which failed the first 3 times, then finally worked after like 4 reboots to hide the Magisk app name and package name com.topjohnwu....
It renamed the app, but then lost root to the renamed app and asked me to 'Install the app' again to restore. Did so, and then neither app worked, Magisk nor Settings2, tapped original Magisk app and bootloop started.
That's fine, I can re-flash etc, not a problem; but does anyone know how I get undetected on RootBeer? I think they are checking the package names that are installed and of course finding the package name and Magisk app name still triggers 'root management apps'.
Seeing as Magisk Hide is basically deprecated in favour of Zygisk, how do we now change the Magisk app name?
EDIT:
I read here, that the guy used Icebox to freeze Magisk which apparently passes RootBeer, but this was 5 months ago.
Anymore option to hide root from apps? from androidroot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have given IceBox root, but Magisk doesn't appear in the list to hide/freeze. Island also doesn't seem to work when setup as root (error 1)

I tried Magisk Hide again.
- first try it created a new app called 'Settings' and the SU popup showed, granted access.
- clicking the Settings app resulted in 'Restore the Magisk app - root was lost' - didn't click Install
- went back to original Magisk app and tried hide again still with 'Settings' as the app name
- created a new Settings app, but also seemed to hide Magisk successfully and asked if I wanted a shortcut on the homescreen
RootBeer now does not detect Magisk as its not there; however the process of Magisk Hide in 25.2 seems really touch and go, as seemingly doesn't work the first time.
Maybe its possible for Magisk to grant its clone app root without the user popup, so it works first time?
- uninstalling the first Settings app, seemed to have not done anything wrong, or any damage, Magisk still works.
