SafetyNet - Do I need to? What for?

Hey Guys,
what is SafetyNet for? And does my MagiskHide doesnt work, cause I dont pass the SafetyNet-Check properly.
My Rooted-Satus is confirmed and I checked all Trouble-Shooting-Tips for passing SafetyNet-Check. No difference after Update Magisk to v14.0.
I have an Honor 8 FRD-L09 on B389 and Android 7.0. Maybe someone can help me. That would be awesome!
My log-file before Update:

Safetynet is Google's "root detection system" that blocks the ability to use certain apps if it detects you have root access. It is incorporated into apps like Android Pay, Mario Run by Nintendo, Pokemon Go, a few banking apps, etc.

So I have to pass thatcheck to use MaskHide. I have some banking apps, that doesnt work with my root. Even woithout root just unlocked bootloader they dont work.

Yes, you need to pass safetynet. You could try this module. "Universal Safetynet Fix". Maybe it'll help.
Also, don't install xposed if you want to pass safetynet.

Found a fix for when Magisk Hide settings do not stick on reboot

I'm on a Moto G5 Plus stock systemlessly rooted with custom kernel.
I noticed in the Magisk logs that the app was unable to write to /magisk/.core/hidelist -- That's because the subfolder simply wasn't there. The exact error was pretty obvious in the logs: fopen: /magisk/.core/magiskhide/hidelist failed with 2: No such file or directory
So I created a new folder and set the permissions on it to rwxr-xr-x
Now when I set my list of apps to hide, it sticks on reboot.
I'm not sure why it doesn't get created in the first place. Other modules seem to be downloaded and written to /magisk just fine. Oh well. Hope this helps out some other people.

Thanks. Guess this works.

Can you please elaborate?

Hi,
Can you please elaborate the steps. Sorry, I'm a noob. Where to create a new folder? How to set the permissions on it? to rwxr-xr-x ?
Thanks.

Clarification: "hidelist" is not a folder but a file (under /sbin/.core/img/.core) containing the apps and processes added to the MagiskHide list. The default permissions for the file is rw-rw-rw (666).
Not sure why a folder worked for the OP...
@sghegde87 If you can't get MagiskHide to work and you see the above mentioned errors, use a root capable file explorer and navigate to /sbin/.core/img/.core (make sure the setting to view hidden files and folders is enabled, or you won't see the .core directories). Create an empty file named hidelist (no extension) and then give it the above mentioned permission (666). In most file explorers you can do this by long-pressing the file and go to "details" or similar. Depends on the file explorer... I always recommend FX File Explorer.

Thanks for the quick response but..

@Didgeridoohan:- Thank you for the quick reply and detailed description. Here is what happened:- There is already a file name 'hidelist' in /sbin/.core/img/.core directory. So, I deleted it and created a new one and set the permission to 666.
I added all the apps that has to be magiskhide. I checked this hidelist file and it is updated accordingly after I tick the apps in Magisk manager.
However, after reboot, again, the apps preference is reset.. All hide settings are reset. Below is the Log file from Magisk after reboot if that helps.
Any idea what might be causing this issue?

All I can say is that you've got some kind of loop mount issue...
What's the output when you run the mount command in a terminal emulator?

Yes you are right.

Yep. It's a mount issue. The problem was F2FS data partition. I formatted it to EXT4 and everything is working just fine. Magisk works as expected only on EXT4 format type in Lenovo P2 stock ROM.
Thanks for the comment though!

I'm using stock Note 3 (N9005DXSGBQA1) and followed instructions for magisk manager. I got it rooted but magiskhide does NOT work - NOT SAVING ANY SELECTION.
I tried using "core only" and tried inserting a new hidelist but both failed. I badly need the hidelist feature. How can I make magiskhide work? Thanks

hidelist deleted
It's not working on my Nexus 7 2013 deb tablet. Rebooting deletes hidelist. Please help. Thanks

This workaround was for devices with f2fs issues, in late 2017. Your device don't use f2fs (normally) and much use happened with Magisk since (the hidelist file is no longer used, as an example).
100% sure you've got something else going on (unless you're on a really old Magisk release).

My problem is that the Spectrum TV app will not run on a rooted device. So, I use Magisk Hide, but Safetynet fails on each reboot. So, the temporary fix is to untick Hide in Settings, reboot, retick hide, rerun Safetynet, which always passes, and Spectrum TV app also works. PITA. Do you know of a permanent solution?
Thanks

Update. I uninstalled Magisk manager and installed the Canary version, but the problem remains. Neither Safetynet nor Magisk Hide work unless I do the following: disable Magisk Hide, reboot, and enable Magisk Hide. I'm glad it works, at least, but the rebooting is a PITA.

Magisk 1531/1540 issue with Xposed

I recently upgraded from Magisk 12 to the latest 15 and found that the last 2 versions (1531 and 1540) seem to have compatibility issue with Xposed (89.2-sdk23-topjohnwu). With any of these 2 versions, Xposed Installer always show "installed but inactive" and none of the installed modules are enabled. Version 1530, however, works fine. Magisk Manager always show Magisk is installed successfully for all 3 versions. Root and SafetyNet (without Xposed) are successful too.
I've tried many advice but none of them fix this problem. Of course, I can stay in 1530 but I fear that I'm unable to try future versions.
My phone is a Xperia X Compact running Marshmallow stock ROM, kernel patched with TA PoC.

[Help] Magisk 18.0 is not working. No Root prompts from rooted apps.

I updated magisk 15.1 to magisk 18.0 but now the root is not detected as there is no prompt dialog in any apps that tries to access root privilege.
I updated using magisk manager 6.1.0(recommended method). Root didn't work.Then I tried uninstalling and flashing from TWRP.Nothing happens.
So I completely uninstalled and rolled back to magisk 15.1.
That works but I want to use a module that requires magisk >15.3 . So I need that update.
When app tries to access root log reports error

try removing magisk from battery optimization in android settings, then rebooting??

updated magisk manager to 7.0 and magisk to 18.1. Same issue
Also app is put in not optimized list in battery optimization
and in performance optimization app is allowed to run in background, allow the system to wake up and allowed to be awakened by other application.

No idea what your device is, so can't say if this is applicable or not, but make sure that the Manager isn't installed to external/adoptable storage. That has been known to cause quite a few issues...

mine wont work either on pixel 2 xl, coming from 18.0
downloads the apk for 7.0.0, says it needs additional setup and then fails. i flashed 18.1 so that is working, its just the manager thats giving me problems.

I don't find options for power saving and to put the app on exception on battery settings in my phone running Android Nougat

It's only for Oreo

hey fellas check this out:
if you have root but magisk is not prompting, under settings choose to hide magisk manager by repacking it with a random package name.
this fixed for me.

I know its a bit late but I had the same problem and I fixed it by enabling the "Display pop-up windows while running in the background" option in the app settings.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Hide Magisk Failed. Or am I failing magisk somehow :/

Hi everyone, looking for some guidance on magisk hide. I've searched for days but nothing yet, I'll try my best to explain my problem then I'll list my device and ROM etc after. So I've rooted my phone, installed magisk, updated everything within magisk, magisk hide works and hides my root from banking Netflix etc, modules install without a hitch and work fine BUT... When ever I try to hide magisk manager itself (different name etc) I get the error message "hide magisk failed." My logs show nothing related to it so no error codes or reasons it could be being blocked. I checked out John wus Twitter he had a post a while back explaining that Google play protect is blocking the installation and to disable it then enable it after magisk repacks. Most people there said it worked for them, but it isn't working for me. Things I've tried:
Uninstall magisk through the app and reinstall (twrp)
Unroot phone and reroot through twrp
Update OS
Wipe phone, downgrade OS reroot
Disable Google play through play store
Disable all Google services using service disabler app
Disable all Google services and miui security
Updated magisk to canary
Downgraded magisk to 19.4 (now back on latest build)
Deleted the magisk files in root browser
Renamed magisk files through twrp and through root browser
There may be a couple of other things I've tried Ive been at it for days lol. I'm hoping I'm just being really stupid and missing something and it's an easy fix, but googling it brings up mainly older posts, the fixes I find don't work for me, or people assume I'm asking about 'magisk hide' rather than 'hide magisk'. I would really appreciate any help people could give. Thank you
Phone details:
Redmi note 8 pro Global
Miui global 10.4.1 (pggmixm)

You're mixing up the terminology a bit, which might explain why some have a hard time understanding what you're asking for. You're trying to hide the Manager, not Magisk.
Another thing you could try is if it's SELinux causing issues. Set it to permissive and try again (and don't forget to set it back to enforcing again afterwards). If it still fails, you'll need to provide at least a logcat showing when things go wrong.

Ah brilliant thanks I'll try that now n let u know yeah I thought I might be getting something wrong, it usually just works firs time so I've never actually had to actually look into how it works etc lol

Solved!
Your an absolute legend. Worked a charm!! I really can't thank you enough, I feel really stupid, but I'm also very happy now lol. Thanks so much

Did you check whether your Google play protect feature is turned off? That was my issue. Apparently it stops Magisk Manager from repackaging itself. Once in sorted that out, it works! Golden!

Not working in Mi 8 Lite, Android 10, Ver: 20.4

Changing Selinux didn't help for me it was still giving error though i find a way you can disable play protect and try , it worked for me afterwards you can enable it again.
