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?

I didn't try.
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)
If you choose to use SuperSU (only support Android 6.0+)

Actually i didn't try with SuperSu.So i mentioned phh's SU.
It might work with SuperSu too.

Has anybody gotten Magisk to work?

Has anybody gotten magisk to work on their oneplus 3t running OOS 4.0.1? I've tried and it seems to work, but I can't enable magisk hide. After I check the box then reboot, the box goes back to being unchecked. The magisk manager says I have the latest version and I am rooted properly

I have Magisk working on 4.0.1 and Magisk Hide works correctly for me. Are you using phh Superuser or SuperSU for root? Magisk Hide only works with phh Superuser.

I tried using phh superuser but for some reason it doesn't seem to work. I get a notification saying the su binaries need to be updated and when I click on it nothing happens

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

Can you give more details? What ROM, Magisk version, logs, etc?
I would suggest flashing osmOsis's UnSU zip, then Magisk v11.2.

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

In the ROM zip.
In case it has built-in superuser, I would suggest flashing osmOsis's unsu zip as well.

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.

Can't Uninstall Systemless Xposed (Moto G4 Plus)

I just decided to get rid of my root, so i uninstalled Magisk with the uninstaller .zip. Then i went on to try to flash the Xposed Uninstaller but it says that i need magisk to uninstall Xposed for some reason. Did i flash the wrong .zip or did i do anything else wrong. I also unrooted with the SuperSu app but i still cant pass the safety net check. Can anyone help with either of these issues? Plz reply
-Me

Try deleting Xposed.img under /data, and if you need to unroot, do not use the super su app, use the unsu signed zip instead, search it up on XDA

If you were using Magisk systemless Xposed it was uninstalled together with Magisk.
And if you were using Magisk, you don't need to do anything else to unroot.
Easiest way to make sure you get back to a clean slate would be to dirty flash your system and then lock your bootloader (be real careful though so you don't brick your device). SafetyNet triggers by more things than just root, among other things an unlocked bootloader...

i was facing the same issues with my Moto X Play Stock firmware 7.1.1 (squid kernel) rooted using magisk and systemless xposed installed.... it was working fine until i installed some xposed modules( iFont, perAppFont, xinsta etc.) and somehow it screwed my phone and bootlooped . after searching for long, this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76064855&postcount=12 works like a charm !
other xposed disabling method ( Power button combination on booting ) didn't worked for me , maybe i was using systemless xposed module that's why.

How to remove SuperSU after having installed Magisk?

So here's what I did:
I have my Galaxy S7 with Android 6, rooted with SuperSU.
Upgraded it to Android 7 using Smart Switch. Root is lost, of course.
Assumed SuperSU was gone, went ahead and rooted with Magisk.
After a bit of fiddling, because the guy can't write English, I had it working perfectly.
Restored a backup of all my apps. SuperSU got installed as well, since it was part of the backup. So I deleted it again (just the app).
Decided to do the SafetyNet test. Result: CTS profile mismatch. This is usally due to remnants of SuperSU. So I guess it wasn't removed fully.
Reinstalled the SuperSU app (just the app, I don't dare installing it via TWRP).
Open SuperSU, only to find out "SU binary is occupied". So I can't let SuperSU do its automated full unroot either.
My goal is to:
Get rid of SuperSU completely
Use Magisk instead
Pass the SafetyNet check
I have tried:
I ran the Magisk uninstaller to see if I can let SuperSU do its "full unroot" thing. But it results in a boot loop. So that's a no go.
I ran this SuperSU uninstaller script through TWRP, but it doesn't appear to have done anything. The results are unchanged either way.
So, what do I do now?

Try uninstalling the one you have (I assume it's the magisk v12), install magisk v13 beta, and see what you get. Also, about the safetynet, there are plenty of others reasons that may lead it to not pass, not only supersu.

I used the SuperSu android app. It has a full unroot (or was it uninstall?) option.
But I am on the op3. So not a 100% sure if that'll apply for the s7.

Dirty flash should remove all su or magisk, then you can install magisk again

Uninstalling Magisk results in a boot loop, like I said. So it's a no-go.
What other reasons could it have when SafetyNet doesn't pass with that error message?

SuperSU has that option greyed out because of a locked binary, like I said, so that won't solve anything.

Sorry, I don't understand what "dirty flash" is supposed to mean. It sounds like a risk.

No it is not, dirty flash is flashing your rom again without deleting /system /data partition, that can replace your boot.img with the stock one, so the supersu will be disappeared

reflash boot.img from the rom you used via twrp on img mode (click zip or img to switch between modes) or reflash your desired custom kernel.
