Hi,
I'm currently so confused as to why my Magisk isn't working. I'm currently running the last CM 13 snapshot for the Galaxy S5 (G900F, klte), and root and Xposed work fine via Magisk.
However, what isn't working is Magisk Hide, and I'm not sure why. However, I'm noticing that even though I fully unrooted cm-su (using SuperSU, in a way that means the only root I can select in Dev Options is ADB only), I'm still getting cm-su detected by Magisk.
I'm confused -- is there anyway I can remove it? I've tried looking through TWRP file manager, but whenever I do so, I can't even see /system/ files, and mounting only mounts to USB, but that's unrelated.
Thanks for any help!

I don't think SuperSU removes the in-built CM superuser. Use the UNSU zip by osmosis instead. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421
Also magisk hide will NOT hide Xposed. Yes not even systemless 87.1 Xposed.
SuperSU removed its own root only, CM root is unaffected.
Also, Magisk hide only works with Magisk's own phh root.
And, as far as I know, it can't successfully hide Xposed either. Doesn't matter if it is systemless or not.
Cheers for the replies.
I wasn't aware that Magisk Hide didn't hide Xposed, that's my bad.
As for the presence of CM-SU, SuperSU did do something, as the Developer Options root option is now ADB only while previously it offered the option to Apps too. I'll try unsu.
Here's what I'm meaning btw: imgur.com /a /yTOTw (sorry for the link bypass, there's no other way for me to simply demonstrate the issue) (as you can see in the first screenshot, Magisk detects "cm-su" along with phh. When phh was disabled before I removed cm-su, it only detected cm-su, hence leading me to believe cm-su remains).
e: tried unsu, still cm-su remains. At this point, I'll leave it -- I presume that it's permanently ingrained into the ROM. I've gotten around the restriction I was facing anyway, and I'll adjust. Thanks anyway!

If there are SU files in /system/bin and /system/xbin, then CM root was not removed. Not completely.
To actually remove it you have to delete those files.

@intcompetent Osmosis's unsu zip removes those files. If those files are still there after flashing the unsu zip, I'd ask in his thread.

Or just remove them manually, jeez. It's just two files.
I've been doing it manually for months and everything works as intended.
As an a closer, there's nothing there. I presume that Magisk is picking up something freaky from somewhere, or something's up, but I'm good guys. I won't need anymore help.
Cheers!
I found this zip around somewhere. I believe it works to remove all root (systemless as well) and I've always flashed it before rooting normally. It should also remove CM root afaik.
As a test, after flashing, check and see if you pass safetynet before installing magisk

Hi everyone,
I am using the application Raiffeisen Twint (version 1.2.16.0, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.raiffeisen.twint) on my Magisk's rooted Google Pixel (Android 8.0, Nov. 2017) without problems for a while, but since Magisk 14 versions, the application stopped working and the application reports that root is detected.
I have successfully updated to Magisk 14.5 (from 14.2), but root is still detected by the application, even with Magisk Hide activated for the application and the Magisk Manager package moved to a random name (could also be related to the updated application).
I have cleared the data of the application several times and it doesn't help and root is still detected by the application...
Anyone has a idea?
Thanks for your answers!
Like I said in the Magisk support thread, I can hide Magisk from that app just fine (on Magisk v14.5 beta)...
You don't happen to have any other mods that might trigger an app looking for root (like Xposed)? Can your device pass SafetyNet? Have you previously been rooted with any other root method and do you have any remnants of that left (root management apps, etc)? Do you have any apps that are known to be used for questionable purposes. By "questionable purposes" I mean getting access to paid features without paying, etc. Not necessarily that you use the app for this, but that the app might be used in such a manner... Etc, etc, etc. Every little detail might count.
Hi Didgeridoohan,
Thanks for helping me!
I do not have any mods installed in Magisk and also no Xposed. My device is passing SafetyNet!
I have performed a factory reset last week and since that I only rooted my device with Magisk 14.2, so no other rooting applications used. For details, I have unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery installed and developer options and USB debugging activated.
My settings in Magisk are:
I have following applications installed on my device:
https://pastebin.com/pmt4jBMV
Do you see any applications with "questionable purpose"?
I get this message in the application:
Thanks a lot!
At a quick glance everything looks ok...
I did some experimenting with the other Raiffeisen apps you have installed, in case they also detect root and "tell" on you. At least one of them did detect root, but from what I could see it didn't make any difference for Twint.
I also tested installing a few of the root apps you had installed (in case the app looks for certain known apps), but that didn't make any difference either. I could still successfully hide root.
My guess is that it's something along these lines tough. That it's using another app or detecting a root app. You could start experimenting with that. Clearing data for the other Raiffeisen apps and adding them to MagiskHide and also removing root apps. Try disabling USB debugging and developer options as well (didn't make difference for me, but worth a shot).
Simple. Change name of package from settings in Magisk Manager, then MAKE SURE you add twint app to magisk hide list, then ERASE DATA of twint app, change package name once again and run twint. Working with Magisk 14.5. Screens if u want available. Or video.
Hi Didgeridoohan, Hi Mamama07,
Thanks for your help, but sadly none of your suggestions did worked... until the update of the application released yesterday, to fix problem related to rooted devices! [emoji3]
Thanks anyway again for your help! [emoji106]
I had the same problem (with BCV Twint) and after a few tries, changing Magisk Package Name worked!
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.

Sadly that also doesn't work on my device.
Are you using other modules? I'm thinking right now that Youtube vanced could be a problem.

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.
I've been scratching my head for weeks now this app keeps on detecting root on my device. I've previously tried canary build, but currently on 20.1 and it still detects it. App is MagiskHided, Magisk Manager repackaged, both SafetyNet basicIntegrity and ctsProfile is passed. My other banking app that also checks for root works, even the rootbeerFresh is showing all green and this app still detects root. I don't know what else to try.
Device Info:
OnePlus 6T running Evolution X rom (Android 10), I also tried on OOS pie, doesn't work as well.
Magisk 20.1
This app used to work just by MagiskHide and repackaging Magisk Manager, since the update, I think they changed something. Any help is appreciated.
I tested it right now and had no issues starting the app once added to the Hide list. OnePlus 3T, Android 9 (ArrowOS), Canary build 20302 with hidden Manager build 269.
That means Magisk can hide from the app just fine and there might be something about your specific setup that's being detected. Could be an app, could be a directory on your storage, could be the ROM itself (this is the second time lately that I've seen a user having issues with root detection on Evolution X, on a Poco F1 though. May be unrelated.).
As always, there are a lot of hiding tips available here:

DId you MagiskHide it beforehand or did you try without MagiskHide first? I want to make sure that the app doesn't "remember" that it has detected root previously

I made sure that it could detect root first, so I opened it once without adding it to MagiskHide (got the same screen you showed above). And, I did not have to clear any data for the app after adding it to the list, it just started up without issue.

any luck for this problem?
I also have this issue. Any luck?!
I have the same issue and finally found a solution for it ! Change the folder twrp name on internal storage was a trick but don't forget to hide the aplication go mobile from magisk hide then boom I can use the banking aplication on my root devices .
I'm not using any xposed so if you are on xposed try rename the folder of it usually it store on folder download on the internal if that doesn't work try to uninstal the xposed application on your mobile menu(you can instal it again after you're done with banking)
Another trick that I found latelly was I change the recovery ....any recovery besides the twrp (orangefox,pitchblack,batik etc)

Awsome maaan, like that simple trick could be solve the pricky app
Device: SM-N950F
Android version: 9
Magisk version name: com.topjohnwu.magisk
Magisk version code: 22,1 (22100)
Well I believe this is an alien thing going on.
Magisk was working fine.
I just had a notification to update Magisk in the notifications bar.
I simply accepted, something showed downloading and then nothing happened.
So I just then went to check Magisk. I opened it and I chose to install latest 22.1 (22100) (20) App.
Well it downloads, I install it succesfully but then Magisk manager (already hidden and renamed) doesn't open.
It just shows a message "Magisk Manager: Upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. Download and install?" I press OK , it downloads for some seconds something and then it shows a toast message "Please manually re-launch the app".
I re-launch Magisk Manager and get again "Magisk Manager: Upgrade to full Magisk Manager to finish the setup. Download and install?"...
A continuous loop in other words with no successful outcome.
Now:
Some apps that require root still work
A banking app is still working, another sees rooted and stops
Rootchecker app shows "root access is not properly installed"
Root check app shows "rooted"
In other words a big fat mess!
I strongly fear that If I reboot the device I will lose all remaning root capabilities. Correct???
I think of flashing with TWRP "Magick 22.zip" but then this may mean fresh rooting and ALL data will be lost. Correct???
Thank you all in advance, God bless you!
No reply! Smells bad!!

I restarted it today.
It loaded OK and some banking app that was seeing root now just works fine.
Magisk Manager still doesn't open and I am worried to flash Magisk22.zip because I may lose data and can't handle the hassle to restore all settings etc.
Very weird situation.
