CM-su still being detected by Magisk, Magisk Hide not working

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

Issue with SuperSU app - prompt mode

hi,
I rooted my Yotaphone 2 (MM 6.0.1) with SuperSU (2.79 SR3, systemless mode) from TWRP.
If I set SuperSU app in mode "grant", everything works correctly, all apps receive root permission (root explorer, root checker, etc..).
But if I set SuperSU app in mode "prompt", no prompt appears and the application requiring root access hangs waiting or says that there is no root; and the list of apps on SuperSU remains empty.
What I already tried without success:
re-install SuperSU from scratch (using the options for clean / reinstall in the application)
reinstall SuperSU (using UnSU.zip to clean current installation from TWRP)
clean Delvik/Cache
install SuperSU 2.79 stable
convert SuperSU app to system app
use other apps to control root
try SuperSU 2.79 System mode
In all cases I still have the same issue (except with SuperSU System mode, in which case I have bootloop).
Do you have any clue on how to solve the issue?

I'd be interested to know what might be causing that. That happened when we root our Samsung Galaxy S7 (G930P) phone. But there have been scripts out for tweaks and such and along the way SuperSU will start promoting. But would love to know what would cause the prompts to not appear.
I thought it was just our phones trying to get root the weird way we have to do it. Interesting to know others are running into the same sort of glitch (?) On other hardware.

Help - Systemless Root

Hello,
First off, I am using a Oneplus 5 device running 7.1.1 Nougat.
I followed this guide to root my phone with Magisk 13.2 https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
I am able to download apps that require root, and grant them said root access.
However when trying to give AdAway Systemless root access (In preferences) the checkbox is greyed out and unusable.
So far so bad.
When trying to install BusyBox, and try to select a different install path (/su/xbin or /su/bin) I get the error message : "Systemless root is not configured, please choose another install location"
If I go into Magisk Manager both BusyBox and AdAway are Granted Root access, and when checking settings, Hosts Systemless is activated.
Am I simply blind and have I missed a step? On the Magisk Manager Homescreen, it says I have the latest version installed, and MAGIKSU is also validated.
Help please? I'm confused. D:

For AdAway you shouldn't have to bother with the systemless option. Just enable Systemless hosts in the Magisk Manager.
You could also use a Magisk module. There's a great one called Unified Hosts Adblocker. Unfortunately there's a bug in the Manager at the moment that makes it crash when downloading modules. They can be installed manually though (there's a download in the thread).
For busybox you've got a great installer here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239421
It'll install as a Magisk module when flashed in recovery.

Hello,
I've followed your suggestion and manually installed Unified Hosts Adblocker. I'm assuming it will update on it's own when required? As it has no interface. (Also, I am still getting ads, is this normal? xD)
So installing AdAway won't trigger SafetyNet as long as I have "Hosts Systemless" checked right?
I have also flashed the BusyBox installer from the link you gave me. It shows up on Magisk Modules, however it hasn't created a busybox icon in my applist. (Again, no interface? Is this installed correctly?)
Furthermore, I've looked around a bit, and is it true I currently can not expect to run Xposed Framework on Nougat?
Thank you for your current answers, in the hopes of further ones.

With the hosts module you'll have to run it manually. Use a terminal emulator and type su followed by hosts and then follow the instructions. The m option is included in all the others... Don't forget to enable systemless hosts or it won't work. More about how you use the module in the thread.
There's no interface for the busybox installation, no. There's no need really...

Oh yeah. No Xposed for Nougat.

Thanks for your help, it's been of great assistance and sets my mind to rest that nothing really went wrong with my installation of Magisk. I'll keep an eye out for the Manager updates that'll fix the downloads.
I was once again just wondering about the updating of busybox, but I'll just assume that if I get a "Update busybox" from any app, I'll come back to the post you directed me to and update it that way.
You didn't answer my pondering about Xposed, but once again I'll just assume what I found is true and the developer currently hasn't had time to update it yet, and it may take a while.
Thank you for your time and the peace of mind you've procured me.

Magisk not giving full root access

Alright, so I just rooted my SM-T380 by flashing the latest Magisk with TWRP but many root apps (like ES File Explorer) are saying I don't have root access when I permanently granted them root permissions with Magisk... Also Root Checker Basic says root access is properly installed on my device. I've also tried uninstalling Magisk then reinstalling it but no results. My SM-T380 is currently on Android version 8.1.
What's going on here? And how could I fix this? I'm stumped here...
And could it possibly be SELinux causing some root apps not to work even though I granted them root permissions? (I don't know enough about SELinux to know if this is the main cause of this problem)
Take a look at this imgur album: imgur.com/a/zSJGQTa

(The imgur album shows you that root apps aren't working even though they have root permissions)

Tanix tx3 mini Magisk hide not working

hi guys,
i write you to have a support about magisk hide, on my Tanix Tx3 with firmware Build version: 20181210.
In particular i have installed magisk on my device with TWRP to hide the root permission at some application but this dosn't work correctly.
To hide the root permission on magisk I have make following steps:
to
installed magisk with TWRP
activated "magisk hide" from setting of magisk manager and then i have reboot the device;
inserted on section "migisk hide" the application "root checker" and then i have reboot the device;
checked with root checker application if magisk hide the root but the application (root checker) has detected root permissions
[/ LIST]
Furthemore, I tried to activated magisk hide from terminal emulator with "props" module but when i tried to verify the root permission on root check the result is the same.:crying:
in attach you can find the log by magisk, if it can help you to solve the problem
thanks lot

First thing to try is repackaging the Manager with a random name (it's in the Manager settings). More things to look at: https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_root_from_apps
And:
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_MagiskHide_Issues
And you'll have to upload your log some other way, since you can't attach files with so few posts.

There's nothing Magisk can do about that. You would have to remove the built-in root.
How? No idea... If you're lucky @osm0sis' unSU script will work (all depends on how it's rooted):

That's not how MagiskHide works. Magisk can't hide apps, it only hides itself from other apps and services.

Yes there is, but again:
Magisk can only hide itself, it's own root and modules and the Manager. NOT any other root or other apps. Period.
