There's one main guide by xBeerdroiDx, but it is outdated and you can't find the download for the SDK that he's referring to, so the guide comes to an abrupt halt right at the beginning. Is anyone aware of an updated guide? Or at least an updated guide to the SDK download part? I'm fairly certain the rest of the guide will work the same, but this part needs updating.

Got it, thank you. I've now got TWRP installed, making my nan backup now and expect to be on Lineage with Magisk shortly. I do appreciate it.
edit: Lineage flashed, francos kernel flashed, latest radio and bootloader flashed. Everything is up and running. Only problem is Safetynet is still being triggered, even without root. Currently trying to figure this out.
edit2: For some reason flashing Magisk and obtaining root, and then using Magisk Hide fixed my safetynet issues... for the most part. I say "for some reason" because Franco should've hid my unlocked bootloader, so there should've been no reason for Magisk to fix anything with safetynet. And secondly, I say "for the most part" because although Androidpay now passes the safetynet flag and lets me register a credit card (I haven't tried actually using it yet though), Netflix still doesn't show up on the Play Store. I tried clearing the app data a few times. It's been hours and it hasn't changed. Quite strange. Otherwise, I'm very happy with my new device.
edit3: So after about 8 hours, Netflix is now showing up on the Play Store once again. So Magisk hide + clearing Play Store app data + waiting a few hours is how I fixed it. Others said the same thing about it taking some time, but they said it should only take a few minutes. I guess it can take longer in some cases. Anyways, it's working and I'm a happy rooted camper.

Issues with Netflix are due to a new feature Google set up which allows a developer to hide their app in the Play Store from devices that don't adhere to the Google baseline. So, this is not a SafetyNet issue. There is an article about it on the XDA Portal.

I'm aware of the issue, and it is about Safetynet. Netflix and other apps like PoGo can avoid being shown on the Play Store to devices that do not pass Safetynet.
Anyways I got it to work. About 8 hours after passing Safetynet, it finally showed back up on the Play Store. So I'm fairly certain it's Safetynet. I just made sure Magisk said it passed, cleared app data for the Play Store and about 8 hours after it showed up. I was checking periodically and it definitely took at least a few hours.
We were thinking along the same lines. The difference? You were coming at it from a device point of view while I looked at it from the developer's end. This is the portal article I was talking about.

Hello all, i'm looking for a while for a app to hide somehow others apps to system and other apps, like have on xposed called sudohide, there any option of module on magisk?
Very simple to do, read the magisk module thread's.. Replace the APK's with a dummy file, which in turn makes the system think they have been removed..

Ah right my mistake, apologise.
I was after something like this last night, a silly example is the game dark sword, it blocks the running of the game if it finds titanium backup installed.
Same case with game kritika. It won't run if apps like game guardian, lucky Patcher, cheat Droid or anything similar is installed.
Exacly that, i want hide some apps from another, like minminhide and sudohide for xposed, but, ported to magisk or standalone
up. we need something just like this. and i think is a must to have this because there so many apps blocks you from using it when they find other app..
+1 i think it will be very handy
cheers
I also need this!
need module like this aw well to hide apps being scanned ?
I was just about to make a post looking for this same thing. Back in the day, MinMinHide xposed did this.
Xposed just patched stuff on the fly right? Couldn't someone create a system modification that would just return an empty app list to all apps? (this would probably break all licenses key apps, but that's the cost of the mod)
Then we can patch our own system and create a Magisk module like smali patcher does.
Apple patched apps being able to see all other installed apps, but Android still allows any app to view every other apps installed without even needing permission.
I use Island (app) to do this but apps in island are not reliable.
Bump, we still need this app similiar to SudoHide but works with magisk non xposed.
Bump, we need this, please!
Sudohide is a Xposed module. Xposed and Magisk does not work the same and you can't just port a Xposed module to Magisk.
You guys can stop bumping this. If someone could find a way to do it without Xposed it'd likely already be around...
i see , im waiting to see, hope soon have a solution.
line age 2 android have a problem in root device not working , have a try with sudo hide, root cloack. not working.
i heard some magisk module can hide root and bypass safetynet ?
can magiks bypass that too ?
hope some day ......can
seriously
Need something like Sudohide works under Magisk root.
Does anyone know a way to hide some apps from the stock launcher? the app can still be installed and doing what it wants for all i care, i just don't want to see it in launcher.
my phone came with pre-installed non removable music app and calculator etc. i installed google apps for this and don't want to see duplicates on my stock launcher
Re-bump.
Still desperately need something like this. I just got the dreaded "Your device is not supported" from Pokemon Go and had to uninstall Tasker for it to run! Not nice. Need a way to hide Tasker from Pokemon Go. :-/

Introduction
Fix UNCERTIFIED status in Play Store for OP2/OP3/Note4 and maybe more.
Uncertified status may lead to some restrictions on specific apps (saying Netflix). It is not only judged by SafetyNet status but also some build props in your ROM. So this module does NOT may or may not help you to pass SafetyNet.
More specifically, to pass SafetyNet, if you are on a custom ROM/Kernel,
a patch in your kernel like this is REQUIRED (maybe optional because of MagiskHide?)
If you are on stock ROM or other ROMs that enabled dm-verity, never touch system part.
SELinux is always enforcing
Installation
Search for "Play Store Visa" in Magisk Manager or download at Github.
Support for New Devices
This module made it by injecting proper build fingerprint properties per device, most commonly ro.build.fingerprint. So device support is highly dependent on a working build fingerprint from a certified stock ROM. You can test and find a combination by your own and add to service.sh accordingly.
I used to find those fingerprints hard to search around. Although one fingerprint may work for all devices of a kind, but people barely shares it. Pull requests are very welcomed so we may help one another!
Define: a working fingerprint
For the time being, I test the prop edits working by:
clean data of Play Store
reboot for the module to apply (or invoke resetprop through adb)
open and check certification status in settings. (may have some delay)
search for Netflix in Play Store.
If you can see Netflix in search results after wiping store's data, then your props edits are good to go!
Enjoy
Q&A
Q:
Only for OP2/OP3/note4? Not support for other device?
A:
To support other device, we need the value of `ro.build.fingerprint` from a stock ROM. I don't own other devices so I may not have chance to extract it. Contributions are welcomed, and I may search for other useful ones in the future..
Q:
What's the difference between this module and this one?
A:
We both solved part of the problem, see my explanation below. I'm happy to contribution my parts, if necessary, to prevent reinventing the wheels.

That patch you're talking about is unnecessary if you use Magisk. MagiskHide already changes ro.boot.verifiedbootstate to "green".
MagiskHide also hides a permissive SELinux, so keeping it enforcing isn't necessary to pass SafetyNet if you use Magisk. Although keeping SELinux enforcing is highly advisable...
I'm also curious as to what observations you've made about SafetyNet and a certified Play Store. From my own (very light) research I've found that it relies on SafetyNet. Not directly, but the CTS profile matching part. From the link to Google support in the OP:
If your device is uncertified, Google doesn’t have a record of the Android compatibility test results.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If your device hasn't passed the Android compatibility test, it won't be reported as certified in the Play Store, and it won't pass SafetyNet. On the other hand, if you pass SafetyNet, your device has passed the compatibility test, and then it'll also be certified in the Play Store.
Would love the hear your findings if you're up to sharing.

Can you find and install Netflix? If so, your device is certified. If not, it's uncertified.
Was this created in response to Google blocking GApps on uncertified devices/roms? If so then that is great, I didn't expect a solution to come out so fast.
That being said, based on current reports it would not be hard to create a universal "coyote mode" by getting the existing ro.build.fingerprint and then modifying the build date portion so that it is before March 2018. Said mode would not make the device certified if it wasn't already but would allow GApps to run normally thus the term "coyote mode" (a coyote is a person who smuggles other people across the border).

Google is not blocking gapps for custom roms. At least not yet.
In fact, you can actually register an uncertified device using a custom rom (it says android id, but it'll accept the imei number) here: https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/

Though since the Android ID is regenerated after either every factory reset (pre-Oreo) or even every boot (Oreo) it will be pretty easy to run into the 100 Android ID limit.

Oh, I know that module but didn't read it's doc until you mentioned. In a word, the same solution for different questions.

Your project goes a lot further than mine but I didn't notice it as a key to my problem :silly:
From my finding, SafetyNet ctsProfile seems to rely solely on ro.build.fingerprint and the "certified" status does the same. The rom I used on Note4 patched the fingerprint and passed SafetyNet from the very beginning.
But Play Store seems to have more verifications on other build props, in my case, ro.build.version.release, ro.build.version.incremental to match the ones in fingerprint. The patch I used for OP3 did not patched them (for I have no time to inspect) so I passed SN, get certified, but still cannot search for Netflix. I don't know it's a more strict policy enforced by Netflix or Google but it makes the certification imperfect. Maybe we shall look into this together

Hm... I'm wondering. From what I've tested and seen reported, all that is needed is to pass SafetyNet for your device to be certified. On that we're on the same page though.
I've also seen reported (and experienced) that even after getting your device certified in the Play Store, it can take several reboots and/or up to a whole day before the apps that rely on the certification status (Netflix, etc) to show up/install. Could it be that you were simply experiencing a delay when you couldn't install Netflix? It's possible that any other props are part of the new Gapps blocking on uncertified devices, but somehow I don't think so... I will do more research and report back.
And as a side note, about the CTS profile test:
Changing the device fingerprint is only one part of making a device pass. That causes the devices to be recognised as a certified device with trusted software, even if the manufacturer hasn't certified the device or if you've installed a custom ROM (both would normally cause ctsProfile to be false). It will also report false if your bootloader is unlocked or if you've rooted your device, but both of these will be taken care of by MagiskHide. Xposed will of course also cause issues, but for the ctsProfile check this can actually be fooled by the No Device Check Xposed module. It'll still cause a basic integrity failure though, and be detected in other ways.
I'll be back...

Thanks for the hint. I do a few tests today. My module seems to be broken today but after added Play Store and `com.google.android.gsf` to MagiskHide list it works again.
And most interestingly, the fingerprint for my Note4 from the ROM seems to be blacklisted by Google.
I wiped data, disabled module, reboot. Device become uncertified and even cannot pass `basic integrity`. wipe-enable-reboot become certified and able to download again.
It's a cat and mouse game after all:angel:
Also I tested for the "delay" you mentioned. After a wiped reboot, tested 2 out of 3 times the Netflix shows in result. However, whether it can start download still depends on the certification status. If uncertified, download will say error after some time. With module enabled, the download succeeded normally. So Netflix is the most timely and accurate way to speak if your device is certified.
For I have not yet used any apps that check SafetyNet status at runtime, maybe I'll check it later.
Profound Thanks For You. Your Module Was Useful To Make A Specified One For My Phone. :good:
After installing this module, I get force close popup in most Google and non Google apps. FYI, I also have Youtube Vanced installed via Magisk module. I uninstalled the module but I still get the same popups. Also, the device remains certified. Is there any way to actually undo everything? From what I can understand, my device should remain uncertified for everything to work.

This module merely changed some build props, if and only if your device is supported. Theoretically it should not mess other things around. Check your logcat if there's anything worth notice and clear app data if necessary

Maybe can help for pixel support :good:
Sent from my Google Pixel using XDA Labs
It is working on my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi tablet. Running Flo classic asop 8.1 r28 May 2018 version with Ground Zero Gapps. Did the clear data (clear cache alone didn't work) rebooted and open Playstore, my apps updates and installed tabs show zero item. A few hours later, check again and I get a Certified in Playstore settings.
Thank you, good job! :good:
Also trying on OnePlus One running AEX 8.1 v5.5. currently updates and installed tabs are also zero item. Going to let it be and see if it will populate over time. Under Playstore version build number, nothing under. Before installing Visa module, it say uncertified.
Library tabs on both show my history of apps.
This forum is meant for people who are getting locked out of their accounts due to "3rd Party Plugins or Applications"
We need to stop this from happening so share your experiences and thoughts on the matter.
I have 2 devices: a Nexus 6P running Pie (Pixel Experience) and a Pixel 3XL on the stock Pie rom. Both are rooted with Magisk Canary builds and both have Magisk Hide turned on. Snapchat never detects root on the Nexus but ALWAYS detects it on the Pixel. I've even repackaged Magisk on the Pixel but that doesn't help. I've read that it's easier for apps to detect root on A/B partition devices so maybe the newer, updated Snapchat apps have code to detect it. When I have time, I'll try an old version and see if it works...
Note that I don't believe Snapchat bans just by detecting root. It is detecting certain apps that are somehow triggering it. If you check the list of apps that you have given permission for superuser, it would be one of those. The app that I had that was triggering Snapchat was an app named app ops. I had downloaded it and just giving it permissions alone was getting me banned on Snapchat. I think this problem only affects users running Oreo or higher for whatever reason. I myself had an old phone running marshmallow with app ops and never experienced a ban. I don't think that any of the people reporting the problem had anything lower than Oreo. If you have somehow discovered the app causing your problems, uninstalling it may not fix your problem. I had to wipe my phone in order to fix it because I was still receiving bans despite uninstalling the app that was causing my problems
I've never installed app ops so that's not my problem.
As for A/B partitioning, I'm on a Samsung galaxy Note 8 and it didn't come out with this on my device so yeh ?
The main thing I found out that I had to do, was repackage the manager and I haven't been banned for the last 4 days
I am on the S8 plus and was locked out for 12 hours before. Snapchat continued to lock me out even when I fully uninstalled magisk. I decided to clean install a different Rom which seemed to do the trick. A month later I decided to go back to my original Rom and guess what? Can't even login coz of some mod I think.
So I would say it depends on what mods you have installed yourself or packaged with the custom ROM.
Snapchat ban
I have same problem. Yesterday they gave me ban but i was unbanned with their site. But today they give me one more ban but now is for 24h ... anyone know how to fix snap or maybe hide root? S7 9.0 blackdiamond v3
Downloaded an early January 2019 version of Snapchat and signed up for a new account on my Pixel 3XL. All was good at first then I closed the app. When I tried to sign back in, I got the "problem connecting to server" error which requires an update to the most current version. I updated and after just a few hours, I got the "12 hour account locked" message for "3rd party apps". I've had Magisk Manager repackaged but that obviously didn't help. BTW, I have not repackaged Magisk on my Nexus 6P and it's still works. I found a comment by a user of the Bitmoji app (which I use on my Pixel but not my Nexus) that reported his Snapchat was locked by this app so I uninstalled it. We'll see how it goes when my 12 hour ban is up...
Update: I uninstalled Bitmoji. I also added the systemless host module in Magisk and enabled systemless mode in Adaway. That is supposed to prevent Adaway from modifying the system partition but neither worked. I'm on a 24 lock now....

I don't know if this would affect you but an app that was causing the problems on my phone with Android 9.0 has no affect on an old phone running Android 6.0.1. I don't know why this happens but if you were running a new version of Android such as Android 9.0, an app that may not cause problems on your 6P may cause problems for you. And again, I have no idea why this happens but I can guarantee that was my problem and I haven't had a ban since

Both my Pixel 3XL and Nexus 6P are running Android 9 rooted with Magisk Canary (19005). Both have the same apps with superuser rights. All this to say that Snapchat was working fine on both for months and for about the last 6 weeks, my Pixel 3 XL's account gets locked and my Nexus 6P does not.
Thanks for trying to help and glad you figured your problem out.
I'm copying this from the SnapFreedom thread who's problems obviously mirror your own. I'll be editing parts out, but some of it should still apply if you guys are getting locked out.
XPrivacyLua
Install it from FDroid or Xposed Repo and check the boxes for "Determine activity" and "Get applications" in Snapchat's tab. You can also enable "Get location" to spoof your location and still use SnapMaps.
Magisk
A few points, these probably don't apply, but they're still worth doing.
Repackage it through Settings -> Hide Magisk
Make sure to block all components under "Google Play Services" and "Google Play Store". There's a few things that aren't blocked by default that might trigger SafetyNet.
Snapchat
Hoo boy...
Don't use anything higher than, and including, 10.41.6.0. It's pretty much a ban-fest. With SnapTools, we use 10.20.5.0 and 10.26.5.0. Those are probably your safest bets. Also, if you plan on downgrading, use any 10.39 app. Something in how logins work has changed in the later versions, so apps like Preferences Manager don't work.
Theming your app should be okay. I did it for months and never got a ban.
Only give it the bare minimum permissions. Storage, Camera, and Microphone. Location too, if you're into being tracked by your friends and Snapchat.
Do NOT use modified apps. At all. Ever. They're the easiest things to detect.
If you want to block ads reliably, you can use this Magisk Module. This WON'T stop bans.
Snapchat also logs your device ID. If you've received a temp-ban prior to this, make sure to change your Device ID. If you're on Oreo, you can use this app. If not, you can use Titanium Backup to change it. The latest version with this function is version 8.2.2. But honestly, the most reliable way is to reflash your ROM.

XPrivacyLua
Install it from FDroid or Xposed Repo and check the boxes for "Determine activity" and "Get applications" in Snapchat's tab. You can also enable "Get location" to spoof your location and still use SnapMaps.
Magisk
A few points, these probably don't apply, but they're still worth doing.
Repackage it through Settings -> Hide Magisk
Make sure to block all components under "Google Play Services" and "Google Play Store". There's a few things that aren't blocked by default that might trigger SafetyNet.

Hoo boy...
Don't use anything higher than, and including, 10.41.6.0. It's pretty much a ban-fest. With SnapTools, we use 10.20.5.0 and 10.26.5.0. Those are probably your safest bets. Also, if you plan on downgrading, use any 10.39 app. Something in how logins work has changed in the later versions, so apps like Preferences Manager don't work.
Theming your app should be okay. I did it for months and never got a ban.

There are all the reasons why i purely stopping to use Snapchat, and also due to the fact that the application is so badly optimized for Android (even since the complete redesign of the application), in the end considering my use so irregular, I just uninstalled it, so no problem.
The time of Snapprefs and Snaptools was fun and funny, and especially less vicious as a concept than the basic one.
The good old days, but all good things must come to an end.

It's what happens when a company becomes complacent and puts more effort into blocking modifications instead improving their terrible app.
Update:
About 2 weeks ago, I flashed the May rom update for my Pixel 3 XL, installed Snapchat ver. 10.41.6.0, hid SC and all components of Google Play Services and Google Play Store in Magisk and I haven't been banned! I detach SC from the Play Store with TiBu but it somehow gets reattached. I just don't update it. Thanks @TevW !!!
I have got a problem, I have a Nokia 7 Plus, stock fw no changes at all!
And I keep getting banned... Support is a joke, I just get automatic replies...
The only reason i may have for getting bans is if snap scans the sd card, where I have magisk and roms files from other devices...
Any tips ???

I tried to follow the instructions but snapchat keeps saying there was a connection problem with the server.

Does this mean that I can't use energized adblock magisk module? Do I have to use only the Snapchat adblock magisk module that you linked for any kind of adblocking on the device.
Thanks!
Hello,
my Oneplus 7+ is running stock Android 11. Magisk has been installed and since a month ago everything was working fine (even DKB TAN2go and other banking apps). Last month an update for Comdirects Photo TAN was released and it stopped working. Luckily I was not the only one to encounter it and the description from @ralphabt here solved the issue for me.
Since this morning Google Pay stopped working (of couse I only noticed when I tried to pay and had my wallet nearby). SafetyNet fails (basic and cts). If I disabled the modules that I installed for the PhotoTan fix, SafetyNet is working again.
I found the MagiskHide Props Config, which I don't have a problem installing and testing, but I was wondering if there anything else I can try before fixing an issues that is caused by a solution for another issue.
Thanks a lot!
If SafetyNet now triggers from the Riru/EdXposed stuff you'll likely have to wait for an update to those modules (or try the latest beta/alpha/canary releases). Or try LSPosed instead (seems like more people have success with that). It's a cat and mouse game...
Im still waiting for anyone to give me a valid reason to use Xposed of any sort....
I pulled it out recently after jettisoning Xposed back in Marshmallow days, and was completely unsurprised that in my attempts to avoid root detection when i was having bank app issues it just broke things harder
Your biggest issue is getting SafetyNet pass...
Getting Google Pay and banking apps is another level...
My current setup for working bank apps (my bank at least) and working Samsung Pay & Google Pay is, should you wish to have a crack:
Magisk Alpha - here (second most recent at time of posting) or here for latest:
Riru - here
Riru-Momohider - my own mod of that module attached to my post here (where i just added creation of the 4 optional config options to the installations script, to avoid manual jiggery pokery, touching 4 files in a terminal every ROM flash didnt seem like a fun thing after the 3 ROMS i tested that week i started using Riru-Momohider)
Im talking those are the only modules i use. Even a simple font replacement module will give up a system modification to most root detection apps. So no fonts, no emojis swapping, no fiddly shizz. Keep it simple.
You can get an idea of what may be setting things off via Magisk Detector here, or VD Infos here (apologies to Didge, as mentioning that may be a trigger )
And i now get to tell you that this only currently works on 2 ROM's for my device, all the others cough up the existence of root through modifications made by devs to build.prop etc
So even in the best circumstances, and with all the right magisk and riru modules, the ROM youre using can still betray you.
Isnt that fun?
Worth pointing out (so frequently am i pointing this out these days im thinking of removing the link to my GPay Magisk Module from my sig) that for like 6 months now its been unnecessary for a lot of people to
a) Use the Google Pay db fix originally sussed out by @BostonDan, or my Magisk Module that does the same thing
and
b) Enable MagiskHide for Google Pay...
Actually getting SafetyNet is rather easy - if I remove EdXposed and XPrivacyLua it is working again and Google Pay as well. I only installed (my only reason) it, as it was required to get that banking app running.
I am using different banking apps and it the past the one from german DKB was rather difficult, but with newest Magisk (23) and Magisk Hide it is working.
