Magisk and banking app - my story

My banking app (NAB Mobile Banking), like most, doesn't like it if my phone doesn't pass CTS or if it's rooted when setting up tap-and-pay.
Since I've started using Magisk I've had lots of trouble getting this banking app to work properly.
This is how I have learnt to set it up .
1. Install Magisk. I'm using 15.3.
2. Wipe the app's data in Settings>Apps. But *do not* start the banking app!
3. ‎Hide the app in Magisk.
4. ‎Reboot the phone.
5. ‎Set up the banking app.
At this stage it's usable but in order to be able to survive reboots and restoring from backups I do the following:
6. Hide Magisk Manager. If I don't do this the app will lose the tap-and-pay capability on reboot.
 (Thanks @Didgeridoohan for the suggestion)
Old
6. Backup the app using Titanium Backup (TB).
7. ‎Freeze the app using TB before rebooting the phone for whatever reason. If I don't do this the app will lose the tap-and-pay capability.
I take my backups in this state.
Once the phone has rebooted I then:
8. Defrost the app in TB.
9. ‎Make the app the default for tap-and-pay as this gets lost by the freeze/defrost process.
If I have forgotten to freeze the app across reboots then tap-and-pay won't work. However I can:
10. Use TB to restore the app's data, set it as the default for tap-and-pay and I'm good to go.
End Old
The following actions will break the tap-and-pay function and require me to go through the setup process all over again:
a. Setting a new lock screen password, even it's the same as the previous one.
b. Wiping /data in TWRP because even though I restore the backup the lock screen password gets broken requiring me to do the following:
i. Run the following commands in TWRP Terminal to remove the current password before rebooting the system:
Code:
cd /data/system
rm gatekeeper.* locksettings.*
ii. Set a new lock screen password (see point (a) above).
My details:
Phone: OnePlus 3T
OS: OxygenOS 5.0.1
Root: Magisk 15.3, Magisk Manager 5.5.5
Banking app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.com.nab.mobile
Security: Password set and required on start up; fingerprint setup

You don't mention anything about hiding the Manager. Does that make a difference?

I never considered that.

For some apps it makes all the difference...
If you haven't checked it out already, there's a bunch of tips like that in the troubleshooting guide.

Different but somewhat related: Since I'm on a custom ROM, Magisk Hide doesn't properly enable passing SafetyNet. The only way I could get it to work was to enable Magisk Hide for specific apps and to install the Universal SafetyNet Fix module (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/xiaomi-safetynet-fix-t3600431). Maybe you could try that module too and see if it helps.

So, I tried hiding Magisk Manager and now I can reboot the phone without causing issues for the banking app. Thanks very much for the suggestion!
I did read [some of ] the installation and trouble shooting guide but, even now, I wouldn't have tried hiding the manager because my app can be set up properly without issues. It's only the reboot that caused problems. And hiding the manager has fixed this.
I've updated the OP to reflect this.

I am curious if anyone has gotten Chase Pay working with Magisk installed. I have turned off xposed ( which is known to fail safetynet), turned on magisk hide, did Magisk random package regeneration, and passed safetynet, but Chase Pay still gives me the error of having root on my phone. My Android Pay is working just fine since I pass SafetyNet, but Chase Pay doesn't.

You may have skipped a step. At this point, try clearing the Chase Pay app data, reboot, then run and sign into Chase Pay again. That is, once it has "seen" Magisk, it remembers it until you clear its stored data.
At least, that works for me. The only thing that doesn't work is fingerprint sign-on. When I enable that in Chase Pay, it complains that the devices is rooted, and will not enable this feature. The rest of the app seems to work, however. If anyone finds a solution to that issue, please share.

I also have no issues with Android/google pay but chase pay is giving the root error.
I have done steps 1-6 without chase pay working properly. Is there any way to check the chase pay error log and see where it is getting stopped?

I don't think I have ever rooted my Galaxy S7 and I don't even know how.
But I am getting rooted/Malware error with Chase Pay ( I can login but does not let me pay)
I checked with couple applications such as root checker and safteynet and both say that I am not rooted and my phone pass the safety test. Anyone know what the problem is? and how to fix it?

Chase Pay is also saying my phone is rooted. I get beyond the intro so Magisk hide is working to some degree. After that when tapping the pay button is when I get the error.

Did you hide Magisk Manager (in Magisk Manager>Settings) before setting up Chase Pay?
Screenshot of the settings after hiding by the Manager attached.

Hi
So I am about to try the same path for the NAB app. From reading the thread I need to
Magisk Manager
Hide for the app
hide the manager
clean the nab app data/cache
reboot
then start the NAB app'
tried that but app keeps crashing on attempting to create nab pay
EDIT
tried removing data/cache again - seemed to work.
So what happens if I unhide magisk manager ???

If you unhide the manager, then NAB pay will stop working if you reboot.
I've also found that even with everything hidden, NAB pay will stop working after some time (a week?).
I've switched to Google Pay which works a lot better and doesn't require hiding the manager.

This is annoying the hell out of me. I can't get Chase Pay to work. I've gone into Titanium backup and deleted the data for the app. Went into app settings and deleted the storage & cache for the app. Made sure the app is hidden in Magisk and made sure Magisk is hidden. Rebooted phone and still says the app is detecting root. What am I doing wrong?

Magisk Hide doesn't work on NFC paying banking apps.

My device is a Samsung J7 2017 and I'm trying to use my bank's phone pay application. My bank's app is divided into 2 apps, the one for account management and the one for NFC paying. The first one works even without hidding root from it, but the second will show a security error regardless. My phone does pass both SafetyNet checks though. Any workaround?

You could try hiding the MagiskManager itself, this worked for me.

Hiding the Manager is simple: go to the Manager settings and choose "Hide Magisk Manager". If you've then also added whatever app you're trying to hide from to the Hide list, but it still detects root you might have to start tinkering with other system settings (like the above suggested USB/ADB debugging).

Magisk Hide not working

I recently rooted my new Mi A2 Lite using Magisk.
So my current banking app detected the root and now I cannot use it anymore. I tried Root Cloak and MagiskHide but both of them did not work either. It still shows the message saying my phone is rooted.
How do I debug that now. I need it to be working anyhow.
App: K-Plus; play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kasikorn.retail.mbanking.wap

I recently had the same problem, but with a different banking app.
What helped me in the past was to hide Magisk Manager with a random package name. It is an option in Magisk Manager itself. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore but i could mask Magisk Manager with the Samsung app S Secure and now it's working again .
This was included in my Galaxy S7 ROM so you probably need to find the apk for the app or find a similiar working app for your phone model.
Hope this helps.

Open Magisk Manager, go to settings and tap on Hide Magisk Manager. If your banking app doesn't work right away try a restart. If it still doesn't work try to mask Magisk Manager with S Secure or similiar apps.

The magisk hide feature does not work

It does work, the steps I took were:
1) Install Banking app
2) Open it and get notified about the phone being rooted
3) Use Magisk Hide feature to hide the Banking app
4) Go to phone's app settings
5) Baking app settings
6) Clear storage data (Clearing only the cache could work too, I didn't test it)
7) Profit!
Hope that works for you.

Magisk hide doesn't seem to be working for me. Magisk says it's working and safety net passes, but I've tested multiple apps and they can see that I'm rooted. Hiding magisk with a random package name doesn't work either.

Yesterday I installed magisk and went to hide options and checked my banking app. I was amazed to see banking app allowing me to do everything without limited functionality due to "root" like before. But today banking app detected root again and limited all functions, how? There haven't been any updates for banking app yet it seemed to no longer be fooled by magisk.

Same goes for me with the K-Plus app as well. (สวัสดีคับผม) Use Magisk Hide to hide the root access but it crashes the bank app instead.

Not sure what I've missed.
Gpay and banking are still detecting root/custom rom
Magisk and manager installed.
module SaMoDXv1 installed.
Safteynet is showing green
gpay and banking apps hidden
Using hide magisk function
removed all Magisk related stuff from SD card.
Cleared cache from gpay and banking apps .
Turned off usb debugging.
What else is there?
Just installed root checker basic, it sees root. I hide magisk from it and it still sees root. Is that right?

Hi,
I'ould like installing Fde.ai on my One plus 6 rooted with Ice Renovate 11.1 rom, but I'm not sure that installation is compatible with "Rice tweaks", a tweak app for this rom no my device.
Peraphs there is someone who does know the answer?
Tks and regards.
Roberto

What I do
Go to setting -> Magisk Hide -> disable then enable.
This way worked with me .
I used Magisk Manager v 7.2.0 (213).
Magisk v 19.3 (19300).

What worked for me is using the "Hide Magisk Manager" feature in settings. Now apps are not promoting about device being rooted and are running fine now.

Anyone solved this problem?
I still have a banking app with this problem. I tried many times but still not working.
Magisk hide dont work for this app.

[Discussion]Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Discussion Thread

Niantic, well know for creating Pokemon Go, released their new AR game, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Supposedly, the approach to this game was to build upon what made PoGo great. Right now there is a new root check for this game which is completely different from Pogo. Anyone have any clue on how to run the app with a root device?

Huh, I thought I was going crazy. I've tried Hide, renaming package, removing all root-named apps... anything we can do?

I've been playing since the beta and have had no issues running the game. Just make sure you do all the normal steps. If you receive the "Device not supported" error then root or Magisk is being detected.
Hide Magisk Manager (rename)
Magisk Hide Wizards Unite
Ensure Safety net passes
Rename any and all files with "Magisk" in the name on your internal storage to something else i.e Magic.zip

Sorry meant to say rename all .zip files so if you have a Magisk.zip for flashing make sure to rename the file to something else. Magisk will download a new .zip when updating it so make sure to check your downloads folder.

I have the same issue, playing the version that was released last Friday.
Magisk Hide seems to work, but it only allows me to play for maybe 5-15 minutes and then the "device not supported" error still pops up.
Edit: Turns out I never used the option to hide Magisk Manager before Going to check if that helps.

Pretty sure you also have to do that because without magisk manager hidden they can easily detect the original package name. The fact you can play 5-15 minutes it's when they start checking for root. Also happens in pogo. If the error still happens try to clear the data of the app and the root detection should be gone for good

Magisk hide+rename magisk+no magisk related file on my device+safety net pass
Getting the error every 2-10min. I also reinstalled the game but nothing does change. PoGo has no problem.

I am also getting the same error even after magisk hide and everything else.
After a reboot it works for Quite a while but after a while it reports incompatible device again.

Same here, nothing named "magisk" on my device anymore, hide is on, still get the message every few minutes
Edit: I forgot to "Hide Magisk Manager (rename)" in the Magisk settings. Played for about an hour today and no incompatibility message! I think that fixed it.
What I did was
1) used Root Explorer and searched my system for "magisk" and renamed or deleted all results
2) hide wizards unite in Magisk Manager
3) go to Magisk Manager settings and click the option that renames the Magisk apk to a random filename

In addition to these steps, I needed to clear the magisk log in magisk manager.
I did this through the following steps,
Tap the menu icon in magisk manager,
Tap log,
Tap the magisk tab (superuser tab may be shown, it doesn't need to be cleared)
Tap the trashcan icon in the top right corner
This is on magisk manager 7.3.2 (224).

All I did was use Magisk hide to hide it from the app and then renamed Magisk in the settings

The OP should update the original post with these so others after us don't have to search for it or ask the same crap over and over.
I can play this game just fine with root and Xposed framework installed and SafetyNet passing. So long as you don't give the game permission to access storage then there isn't much of a chance that the game is scanning for anything named Magisk but I did it anyway. After following what I've quoted below I still wasn't able to play so I cleared game cache and game storage and then uninstalled the game and reinstalled. Before opening the game I made sure to hide it from Magisk.
In addition, LP is installed on my device and only with its Xposed module was I able to hide LP (package rename). I've read or been told at some point that LP can be detected as a GPS hack or similar so I took the extra step. You don't have to have Xposed at all to run WU on a rooted device but it is required to be able to hide LP.

YTV would not make WU throw a device incompatibility error. Root in some way or another is being detected by WU or you may have a device that is confirmed not supported. No extra Magisk modules, no extra tricks required.

Are the files located at "root" also needed to be removed/renamed? Or only those located at the internal storage? Thanks..

Hello,
I’m not sure its the right thread as I don’t have a rooted phone but I didn’t found a lot of threads about the game.
But here is my question:
Do you think the google apps are absolutly necessary ?
I have a lineageOS 16 installed without gapps and can’t pass the login with facebook screen (login with google don’t work, nothing happen)

after following these exact steps it instantly gives me incompatible device:
uninstalling wizards unit
rebooting to make sure minimal data is preserved
making sure magisk is renamed to some random string
making sure nothing named "*magisk*" exists on internal storage(and I never gave permission anyways)
install wizards unite
magisk hide wizards unite
start wizards unite and log in with my account etc
Could there be anything that wizards unite checks besides this?
I have tried many times making sure I followed everything exactly, but it still doesnt work.

On my Oneplus 3 with LineageOS 16, Magisk 19.3, and GPS Joystick by The App Ninjas, I keep getting "Device Incompatible" error intermittently, i.e., every 5 to 10 minutes. I tried the following:
1. Pokemon Go works perfectly
2. Passed Safety Net (two ticks)
3. Hid the GPS Joystick app
4. Deleted whatever "magisk" named files
5. Confirmed that the game doesn't have file storage access
6. Cleared whatever logs left by Magisk
7. Removed Magisk Manager (didn't hide it)
8. Confirmed that when searching for "magisk" or "gps" in /sdcard/* there is nothing found.
9. Cleared the cache of the game
10. Did not run GPS Joystick (but it is still in /system/priv-app since it was installed via App Systemizer, and hidden by Magisk).
Any ideas?
Update: I fixed it! I have to Magisk hide both the game and the GPS Joystick app.

Tried the same over and over again. If I got time I will full wipe (also internal) and flash my ROM to see if anything from the years before is causing the problem. I'll write here if anything does change.

Citi bank app detects root(Magisk hide is not working)

Hi All,
CITI bank App is detecting root. No matter what I do, Magiskhide fails to hide CITI bank app. Tried all the basic troubleshooting.
1. Restored the Magisk app and unchecked CITI bank app from the list.(shield icon)
2. Rebooted and added CITI bank to list.
3. Changed magisk manager name(Hide the app)
4. Changed the Twrp folder name.
5. Cleared cache for CITI bank.
If anyone could possibly help, I'll be grateful.
Thanks in advance.

I am using a web version now.
Citi Mobile
m.citibank.co.in
Works exactly same.
I know this is not a solution, but workaround until the app starts to work.

Hey ,
Its working for me again.
1. Installed magisk v 22.0.apk and Magisk 22. Zip.
2. Hiding manager app
3. Installed the latest citi bank app (Version 23.5.2) but didn't open
4. Added app to magisk hide list.
Its started working.

Please uninstall busybox.

Awesome.. uninstalling busybox did the trick..
Citi app works perfectly now..
Now need to check if other apps are broken because of busybox..

Any idea on how to solve this?

After August app update, Citibank is stuck on blue screen WITHOUT any notification!
Obviously it detects magisk root, and all hiding procedures failed (magisk 23.0 / no busybox installed).
Applying airfrozen (on magisk manager) fix the issue while root stays active.

you shall find an app that have the function of "App ops"
Then disable citibank from "get installed apps"
take a try I have worked in this way

Thanks - but easier said than done
Airfrozen cannot get root - using Poco F2 Pro, Android 11 stock, Magisk 23.0
Any idea how to overcome?
Thanks

just open your magisk, and enable it from there...

Same issue here on SM-N910G with crDroid custom ROM. I needed to have the "Hide the Magisk app" settting enabled in conjunction with Airfrozen. Just freezing the Magisk app wasn't enough. Note: this isn't the MagiskHide setting I'm referring to; that setting was enabled the whole time.
Steps that worked for me (Magisk 23.0) was:
1. In Magisk, add Citi to the hide list first (of course)
2. In Magisk, don't use "Hide the Magisk app". I.e. the app is listed as Magisk in the app drawer.
3. Then, install Airfrozen and grant root access (I wouldn't get the grant root access prompt unless #2 above was done)
4. Now, in Magisk, enable "Hide the Magisk app" and go through that process to rename to 'settings' or whatever.
5. Now, open up Airfrozen and select "settings" (or whatever name you used in 4). Freeze it.
6. Citi app now launches and loads the login screen
Hope that helps someone

Try downgrading magisk to v22 and uninstalling busybox. I'm using it.
See images.
