How To Play Pokemon Go with Superuser (Root enabled)​
Note:
IT MIGHT CAUSE BOOTLOOP OR MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP.
Requirement:
Fresh Installation of Rom or Dirty Flash of your current rom (I tested it on CM and RR- Fresh.It might work on other custom roms.)
TWRP Recovery
Magisk: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
unSU Script : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3931994&d=1478779893
Steps:
1. Reboot into Recovery
2. Flash unSU Script and Magisk in order.
3. Reboot into System. (Mobile should boot without bootloop, otherwise you have to reinstall the ROM and try again)
4. Install Phh Superuser from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.phh.superuser&hl=en.
4. Open Magisk Manager ( Update it,if it is asked) and it will ask you for SU permission. Allow it.
6. Go to Settings and Tick " Enable Magisk Hide " and Reboot your phone.
7. Once again Magisk Manager and it will show status of SafetyNet at 3rd row and It should Passed.
Install PokemonGo and Enjoy

Updated the steps with New Magsik version 10.2

I did a clan flash. Booted and let everything settle. The rebooted into TWRP recovery. Mounted system, and deleted (or renamed) the Su files from system/bin and system/xbin. This removes root but I can play Pokémon.

This guide is for keeping root AND passing SafetyNet.
BTW, this method also works on CM13 and OOS.

It didn't mention keeping root in the title.

Do we need to go back into fastboot and disabled the bootloader unlock?

Not necessarily. Some kernels such as blu_kernel bypass the bootloader check. Try it out.

can Xposed work along with PoGo ?

I'm not sure. I didn't test it.
But you can install the Xposed Framework module through Magisk Manager.

In CM builds you don't need all this you just need this simple app:

I'm gonna assume this doesn't work with CM12.1 right?

But you can try and post the result here that would help others.

I followed the steps in the first post and everything went OK. I'm using oxygen Os nougat 0.9
Thanks for your tutorial.

Does this mean that CM14.1 passes safetynet now? I don't exactly need root but when I tried it a few weeks ago PKMN Go told me that the OS I had was not supported.

Yes, cm 14.1 could pass safety net with this.

This works for sure. But if you're running a secondary ROM using MultiROM the modified boot.img will cause safetynet to indeed fail. I hope they do bring an update soon to fix this though.

Daft question, but i'm unable to use an online banking app, due to being rooted. I know this relates to PokemonGo, but wondering if this could fool the banking app?

I am using H2OS beta (Nougat) and I followed the below steps, but safety net is failing.
1. Dirty flash current ROM
2. Flash UnSU.zip
3. Flash magisk and phh zips
4. Reboot
5. Install Magisk Manager and Phh superuser
6. check safety net
Is there anything which I'm doing wrong? Can you help me please. Thank you
Edit: A reboot and everything worked fine. Thank you so much

Sorry to disturb this thread, but I am a bit confused because the official Magisk thread nowhere mentions that phh's su would be the only working su solution:
topjohnwu said:
If you're using Magisk v7+ with Magisk version of phh's superuser , or rooted with Official Systemless SuperSU (Android 6.0+ only)

How do I install MagiskSU?

Hey,
I've been trying to install Magisk and it asks me to have SuperSU installed before I do, which I don't want. How do I install MagiskSU or even Magisk if it asks me to install SuperSU?...
Thanks

Your boot image is pre-patched for SuperSU. Flash a clean boot image.

Yeah I found the original boot.img of the stock rom my rom is based on and flashed it and it fixed it! Thanks guys

Is MagiskSU just another name for Magisk? A module I want to install has the following requirements:
Requirements:
Magisk v13.x/14.0
MagiskSU
I have Magisk v14.5 installed so does that mean I automatically have MagiskSU or is that something additional I have to add?

That requirement is probably a remnant from when Magisk also was compatible with SuperSU. It's not anymore, so when installing Magisk you get MagiskSU along with it.

Thanks! I was confused by that and I couldn't find a good answer when searching. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Oddly, I don't have any root after installing Magisk v15 via recovery. Magisk is working, integrity tests are both green, can install all the modules with no problem and integrity tests are still green, but no root.
Interesting, isn't it?

Did you install magisk? Or is it included in your rom? Do you see magisk manager app?

Yes i've. But i still can't fix safetynet problem.

Root, without SU?

So, I am on stock 7.1.1 - N6F27C no-root.
-- have unlocked bootloader & latest TWRP installed.
I am wanting to root, but not have SU.... and not really sure how to accomplish that.
-- do i use the Unified Toolkit in "original development" ?
What I am wanting to accomplish:
- Load PureNexus
- use Magisk (to hide root from PokemonGo, and AndroidPay)
I've seen people talk about un-SU, which i don't anything about, as i haven't rooted or modded a phone since my note3, so I am kind of in the dark here.

UPDATE -- after some reading this seems to be what i need to do.... right?
Reboot to twrp
Make backup
Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
Flash PureNexus
Flash BeansGapps
Flash Magisk
Flash FrancoKernel & Reboot
Install Magisk Manager & update
is that all correct? (to have PoGo & Pay working?)

If you want to use Magisk, then flashing Magisk will root your device using phh's root. Just download Magisk and flash. Of course, read through the original post and at least the last several pages of the thread.
If you flash PN, beans-gapps (as specified by PN), then Magisk in the same flash que then boot, you should be good to go. The first 4 posts of the PN thread helps with installation instructions.
The primary reason to use osm0sis' unsu.zip is to remove an existing root prior to replacing it with a different one. Not necessary if you're flashing a new ROM, since you'd lose root anyway. Switching roms should always be a clean flash (system, cache, dalvik - not user data which holds your "sdcard" stuff).

I also want to point out, IMHO, hold off switching kernels until you have stuff set up. Then do a backup, flash your new kernel and Magisk again (after the kernel). That's the safest way to keep things headed the right direction.
Flashing Magisk gives you the manager as well.

One thing to add. If you install Franco Kernel after flashing Magisk, you'll lose root since Magisk modifies the kernel. Flash Franco Kernel after flashing Beans GApps, then flash Magisk and boot.

one last question...
what about xPosed?
I used to use Amplify a while ago & would like to use that again... will that work with Magisk?

[GUIDE] Stock Nougat G920TUVU5FQE1 - Root (Magisk), Deep Sleep and SafetyNet Bypass

Thought I'd share how I upgraded my T-Mobile Galaxy S6 to Nougat (G920TUVU5FQE1 ) with root, deep sleep and SafetyNet bypass.
*** Read all step before starting as you will need to download and copy several files to your phone first ***
NOTE: This method will trip Knox!
Reboot into Download Mode

Download from Android File Host | Google Drive.​
Reboot into Download Mode
Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin
Flash Magisk zip with TWRP and reboot to system
Install Magisk Manager (and enable Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager settings)
NOTE: The steps below will re-enable Deep Sleep
Install Flashify
Flash stock recovery.img with Flashify
Download from Android File Host | Google Drive.​
Wipe cache (twice for good measure) and reboot
(Optional) Flash TWRP img using Flashify and reboot to system
Enjoy Nougat with root and SafetyNet bypass on your G920T! :good:

Do we not need to flash SuperSU prior to Magisk? I'm not too familiar with the process so I could be mistaken.

You don't have to, no. Magisk uses its own superuser called MagiskSU, which gets installed with the Magisk zip file.

Heres what I did lastnight.................I followed your setup. And then installed Noble Kernel set to permissive so i can run V4A. Well the kernel trips Safety Net and you get a continuous notification because of the permissive kernel. So I uninstalled magisk(I dont care for it till the dev keeps it updated for us). I then flashed Super SU 2.8+ through TWRP. Used @stangdriver44 V4A Aroma Installer. So you still get the security notification, I found that system app and froze it. No more annoying notification. This is where im at now. Stock Nougat Rooted w-SuperSU/Noble Kernel for Tmobile/Viper 4 Android. All working flawlessly. @The Sickness Are you gonna maybe try and get something going on nougat with that sickness. Maybe an S8 themed option. I bet between you and stangdriver44 it could be awesome. Because you know we probably wont get another Rom upgrade for the S6 after Nougat.

I believe Magisk dropped SuperSu support at some point before v13. Magisk now includes its own systemless root solution, so SuperSu is not needed. Try uninstalling Magisk and SuperSu and flashing the latest 13.3 zip.

Two options:
If you have a pre-supersu/Magisk backup, restore it (at least the boot part).
If you don't have a backup (I encourage you to make them in the future...):
You need to go to the forum post with the fixed prime 6.5 zip downloads. Download the ~1gb zip, unzip it, and grab the boot.img from there. Flash it in twrp by going to install, install image (bottom right). Choose boot. When the flash finishes, reboot to recovery and flash Magisk.

Sure thing. See you around!

Why would someone use Magisk instead of traditional root? Are there some apps that you need to use that won't work on the rooted phone? I guess that there are a few, like snap chat and maybe Netflix but I don't use those on the Blu R1 HD.
I followed Colton's original root thread and while he, at first, included Magisk, he later advised switching to the non-Magisk root and I did. What would I gain by switching back to Magisk?

Systemless xposed does not work either found this out earlier today device would not boot after installation of xposed through magisk

Ah, that would be a problem for me. I wouldn't want to use a phone without xposed. I have to have all the tweaking and customizations available in gravitybox and a few other modules.
So what will you do now? Give up xposed or Magisk? Or try to find or wait for a version of xposed that works on Magish?
It was a long time ago, but I think I remember running into problems running xposed on Magisk and Colton provided some helpful advice in his original thread about reflashing the rom, getting root, then installing xposed - he had seperate threads for those.
