At least 2 of my Apps refuse to start. One is my banking app and they do not offer any other way of interaction.
The problem is that the phone in fact is not rooted! It's just "OEM unlocked" to be prepared for root (which I need for E.g. titanium backup, but only maybe once a month).
Please give me a way out of this vicious circle!
I cannot remove the OEM unlock because it requires full wipe every time. Or is there a way?
Or what can I possibly tell the App Provider to improved their Code so that Oneplus phone state is being recognized (more) correctly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Use Magisk I guess? Use it to hide root from that app.

In fact I already flashed an official image and still (with no zip installed via TWRP) I'm getting refusals from these apps.
So for sure some apps decide from something else then simply an installed "root" manager or the installed "su" binaries.
What else could they decide from? "OEM unlock" was my first guess (and it would also be the worst, because as far as I know it can't be "hidden" temporarily, or can it?), but maybe there are other settings. Does anybody know more?

You need to do some reading about Safetynet. If you're OEM unlocked you fail Verified Boot checks. Most custom Kernels include a bypass for this. Magisk alone should also work. I think you missed one important step:
Open Play Store Settings. Scroll down. It says 'Uncertified' at the bottom, right? Now install and set up Magisk. Go to system App Settings and clear Data and Cache for Play Store. Return to the Play Store Settings and scroll down. Now it should say 'Certified'. It might not be immediate, but it will happen. Now your Banking Apps work.
If you don't want, or have no luck with Magisk, simply flash a Custom Kernel that bypasses Verified Boot, and works with OOS.
Simple.
Thank you. That was for sure a major part of the overall issue. Unfortunately it didn't yet fix it. I'm now certified in play store and magisk succeeds with both safety net checks (which however it also did before). And root is disabled in magisk. dm-verity does not show the warning during Boot and the Check itself should be disabled (I followed the recommendation in another Thread to Patch the Boot Image).
Anything else you can imagine?

Link to other Thread?
I don't know Magisk but are you hiding Root from your Banking App? Have you cleared Data and Cache for the Banking App since getting Certified?
First my phone did not Boot any more after installing superSU. Fixed that by patching Boot.img (to disable dm-verity) according to this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/disable-dm-verity-force-encryption-op3t-t3688748
Now data and cache of all (now) 3 affected Apps has been cleared and Magisk is configured to be hidden for them, but still no change.
However, in Magisk there is the "extended" option "AVB 2.0/keep dm-verity", which is unticked. I'm not sure, should I try to set it?
Any other idea?

Nope. If Play Store says Certified you should be good to go. I can only imagine it's a Magisk issue. Post screenshots of your config and let the Magisk experts pick through them. Maybe there's something not set up correctly.

Hide Magisk Manager. I had to do that to get my banking app to work.
Edit: you may need to reboot after hiding Magisk Manager and clear you banking app's data before it works.

Thank you, indeed that WORKED! Well, at least for 2 out of 3 Apps. I think I can tell which one: "HVB banking". Maybe could somebody cross-check this one on his/her phone?
After firmware update to OOS 5.0.5 I now have the problem that my PlayStore can no longer be convinced in any way to show that it's certified. But interestingly my banking Apps work (currently really no root app installed). I even waited for one day because earlier in this thread somebody mentioned that it might take awhile. Is there anything special I need to care about under the new OS version?

Did you reflash custom kernel after update?
I'm not using any. What I did right after the update is to disable dm-verity (with a patched boot.img), like I did last time. But magisk is not yet re-installed because I wanted to see at least once the HypoVereinsbank App working, which it in fact does (different to last time when the phone was not rooted as well, and the store not certified!).

That's why... You can't pass the ctsProfile check if your bootloader is unlocked, and if you can't pass the ctsProfile check the Play Store won't be certified. You need Magisk for that...
Now I'm getting confused. The initial mail of this thread explains the situation as it was when I opened this thread:
--> Original ROM, no root, and banking apps didn't work <--
The advice to clear data of the PlayStore immediately brought the PlayStore back to "certified".
This is clearly in contrast to what you're saying now.
I can imagine only one reason: Maybe the older PlayStore had a bug and therefore was able to "certify" even with unlocked bootloader?
Sidenote: My main intention to do the firmware upgrade was that the "safety net checks" in Magisk suddenly stopped working one day (with the error message "invalid response", most probably you know what I'm talking about, I've read some comments from you on this issue). Therefore it's maybe really not too unlikely that Google has changed something very basic. Could you please confirm?
Edit: Now magisk is back, version 16.7, and in fact PlayStore is back to "certified" AND now even the HypoVereinsbank App works. Just one thing remains: magisk safety net check still says "invalid response" (after it downloaded some "FOSS" code, which it didn't do last time, when it was still working).

Sorry, now comes a probably often asked question: do I need the safetynet check option in magisk for something real? Or do the alternative apps fulfill all possible needs? What are these needs? Isn't that exactly what the PlayStore does to determine "certified"?
After quite some months of absolutely no "root" problems with any of my apps, since today o2banking again doesn't work.
I tried to update Magisk, but after update of the Magisk manager app to v7.1.1(203) it reports that Magisk is not installed at all, and any update of Magisk itself resulted in just the same. So I reverted back to v6.1.0(165) and everything seems to be okay, except that o2banking doesn't work. SafetyNet is clean, Magisk is hidden for o2banking and Magisk manager is repacked.
Does anybody know what the problem might be? Especially with that new version of the manager app, but also with Magisk v19.0 which cannot be installed from v6.1.0 (max. is v18.1). Any ideas welcome! I'm now on OOS 5.0.8 by the way.
SOLVED it myself: As mentioned somewhere in the update FAQ of Magisk there was a bug in manager v6.1.0 that causes the updated v7.1.1 to co-exist with the old version if the old version has been re-packed. If anybody encounters the same problem, the solution is at the bottom of this page: https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/ManagerIssues.
o2banking will then still not work. Update to v19.0 is mandatory. But that is no problem then any more...
probably your banking app identified oxygen os as custom rom and have root. 1 out of 3 banking app in my phone doesn't work with lineageos even though i already hide magisk, but when running oxygen os with magisk hide, and also hide magisk manager (turn it on in magisk manager setting) all 3 banking app work just fine. maybe try sending a message to bank app developer to add oxygen os as exception.
Did you notice my edit? It was a problem with magisk manager update and magisk main version. Now everything is back up and running.
Hi, my original plan was keeping my OP7 root-free because I need that banking app - which has an incredibly good root detection.
Long story short, a few days later and went back to my old habits... Magisk, Kernel, you name it. And the banking app stopped working again.
I do pass the safetynet test, have repackaged Magisk Manager. Google Pay is working like a charme. But Fidor bank seems to be better than Google, at least in this regard. I tried logging traffic using adguard, the app does not connect to anything, no dns requests as well.
Most of the times the app won't start at all, sometimes the first screen flashes for a very short period, and sometimes chrome opens with a webpage from the bank telling me my device is modified. How the **** do they know?
Maybe you guys may have a hint in what direction I could continue poking, because carrying a second phone just for banking is a little bit overkill...

I did. And rebooted. And reinstalled. And combinations of those.
A short screenrecord of what is happening as soon as I try to open the app can be found here (youtube link)
I have the exact same Problem
Everything works: Netflix, other banking apps, etc.. Just Fidor. I do not really know how their detection works, but I assume it's not just a root detection.
The weird thing is, it worked flawlessly 2 years ago Now it's just annoying..
Waited a few versions oft Magisk now, however nothing changes.
You're not alone
https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_root_from_apps
Same problem here ... since the new fidor version v3.14 is out, no way to getting it to work. Downgrade to 3.12 is futile, it forces the update to 3.14 immediately.
As an amendment to my post above (where you'll find pretty much all you need to hide from almost any app), I've successfully tested and hidden root from Fidor v3.14.0.1.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79997227&postcount=98
Thank you, the issue seems to have been addressed there. But as far as I can see, the canary version does not have the optional modules, correct? So I think, unfortunately I will have to wait for an adapted release of the regular magisk.

Thanks for sharing!
I have successfully installed the canary Magisk, have Magisk hide enabled, safetynet pass etc.
All bank apps work after adding them to the hide list, for example trying "Kontist" w/o hide gave error, with hide it works.
However, Fidor (3.14.0.1) is still not working for me :/
The app stays open for 1-2 seconds on the canary build, quite a bit longer than on stable version (instant close), clean cache + clean app data, still no luck.
So Fidor must use another detection method that the other bank apps don't have.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Similar Problem, my bank brought out a new app, that is detecting the root/custom rom somehow. The app closes and shows me security bull**** about root, jailbreak, custom roms. I don't know how everything should be hidden, SafetyNet checks out but this app can detect it. No idea how.

Still did not get Fidor to work. Crashes after the initial first 2-3 seconds. If I uninstall Magisk it works again. Disabling modules, delete files from sd-card, etc. didn't change a thing.
This also seem not to be the problem, since it works after uninstalling Magisk.
Fidor is hidden from Magisk, Magisk is repacked with other name.
Mind giving specific instructions on what you did to make Fidor work on your device?

It's all right there in the link provided. I'm not doing anything that's not described there... Of course, there's a whole lot of things there that I didn't do.
Here's my setup:
Android Pie.
Magisk v19.4 (19307), with hidden Manager.
The app on the Hide list.
My internal storage is full of Magisk files and I never bother to disable any modules (all of the ones I have installed can be hidden without issue). I also have OEM Unlocking disabled, but that's just by chance and not something I've done because of an app detecting it...

That's the question. Even if I do a complete fresh install without anything else beside Magisk and Fidor: as soon as Magisk is running (hidden manager & Fidor, SafetyNet Pass and certified in PlayStore), Fidor stops working.

On my phone xiaomi A1 rooted it works on the wife's phone xiaomi note 5 pro rooted it used to work fine but for some reason it has suddenly detected root and won't work now. I have checked all the settings to do with hiding are still selected as before, strange thing is it has worked briefly for a few seconds but then stopped again.
Please can people tell me if they have had this happen and how they fixed it please.
What checks is it doing to detect root does anyone know?
Thanks

Try updating magisk.
Try to disable xposed modules.
Try to disable all modules.
See if it works now.
Then one by one reenable them.

somehow they manage to detect root even if magisk manager is running under custom package name and magisk hide is enabled.

thanks @h4lli i couldn't see sky go version 13.1.1 for uk
so i got Sky Go UK 12.4.14 from apkmirror and can confirm is working fine
yeah still doesnt work, latest sky go app 20, latest magisk, still detects, anyone able to reverse the sky app to see what methods its using?
Fyi - any version other than the latest (20.6.1) at the moment forces an upgrade to 20.6.1, which then detects root.
Safety net is passing both basic and cts with Eval type basic. I'm on latest canary (20425).
I've tried :-
Uninstalling all apps that skygo could look for (titanium, openvpn etc.)
Using a work profile (shelter and island)
Disabling oem unlocking
Disabling usb/adb debugging
Disabling developer options
Deleting all files and folders that have magisk, twrp or titanium in them.
Basically everything here https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide#hn_Hiding_root_from_apps
So, I think it's basically no go for sky go at the moment. Happy to be corrected if someone has it working.

Hi,
I live in Belgium and it's been years that I'm using Cyanogen, then now Lineage. Recently, I made a bargain and bought 2 Google Pixel 4a, one for me and one for my girlfriend.
I installed Lineage on both of them, and I have to say that it's the best Android experience I had so far. We both love our device. It's small, powerful enough, camera pictures are amazing.
However, we are unable to get any banking apps working. We would like to use 2 applications:
1. Payconiq: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.inthepocket.bcmc.bancontact&hl=en&gl=US
2. Keytrade: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.keytradebank.phone&hl=en&gl=US
I succeeded to get Payconiq working on my phone, using Magisk 23 and Magisk hide. So far so good.
Since this morning, Magisk has been updated to 24.1, Magisk hide is gone and I have to use Magisk Zygisk... And Payconiq doesn't work anymore.
Regarding the second app "Keytrade", it never worked, with any version of Magisk. I don't know what they did in their app, but it seems that they were able to find a way to detect if a phone has a custom rom pretty nicely.
Maybe this is something that the author of Magisk should be aware of? Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Do you have any piece of advice for me? I don't want to be forced to re-install the official rom, I still want to use Lineage and have those apps working.
Thanks!
Edit 1: After installing Universal Safetynet fix (https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix), payconiq works, but not Keytrade.
Easiest way is to use a good browser like Brave to login to the bank's website bypassing the app.
I consider banking apps to be trash apps and never load them. The more needless apps you load, the greater the security risk.
Apps I sometimes use but don't like their behavior I package block when not in use and/or firewall block.
Rather than fight it, bypass it...

Not helpful, because thanks to EU rules many banks simply and mandatorily require their app as the second authentication factor - especially when you don't want to use their "real" banking app and use the oldfashioned web interface instead.

So true Unfortunately, that seems the way to go in Europe considering banking. If you want it online instead of running to the bank clerk all the time, you're stuck with at least some authentication app. Things get only worse when there's no classical webinterface at all and you're bound to use a complete banking app instead (there are some neobanks doing so already).

They simply recognize Magisk app in some way. I've read in some other threads here that a probable solution is to use the app called "Ice Box" to hide the Magisk app by freezing it. Might be worth a try for you.
Another way if you have zygisk enabled. Go to config denylist select play store play services gms you need to hit menu system apps first. And you apps you wish to hide. Then search magisk alpha telegram channel. Download shamiko module. Reboot your phone with enforce denylist selected. After reboot turn the enforce denylist toggle off and flash the shamiko module and reboot. If your app still does not work and you are using lsposed zygisk. You can download hide my applist Xposed module and further hide your app.
Pm me if you want to links to all as they are not supposed to be posted on xda
Have you managed to fix this?
I'm in the same boat.
My bank app 'keytrade bank' keeps detecting that I've rooted my device. This is what I tried
- I installed Magisk
- Installed module Shamiko
- Installed SafetyNet Fix v2.2.1
- Enabled Zygisk
- Configured DenyList
- Hide Magisk app

You have to disable Enforce DenyList in Magisk.
Hey, I rooted my phone just yesterday, and today I went to musescore just to see that they for whatever reason don't allow rooted phones to use their app?
So I tried enabling zygisk, DenyList, and I added musescore to the denylist and restarted my phone, but somehow musescore still knows that I'm rooted.
Is it possible that vbmeta is somehow related? if so then what file exactly am I supposed to flash as vbmeta (I use custom ROM).
If not, then what can I do to hide root from the app?

After force deny list did you've deleted caches of google play and google services and reboot? check also google play store inside settings if certified, if certified then it should work for your app too.
Maybe try installing Universal SafetyNet Fix?

And some applications can be extra finicky. LIke for me, Google Pay always takes its time to get persuaded about not being rooted. Also there might be other components either of this app or for system apps that might need hiding. I would generally try following guides for making banking apps work.

I'm not familiar with that app, but I know that some apps also check for the presence of the Magisk Manager app. If you've already tried Zygisk and the deny list, then another thing to do would be to hide the Magisk app. It the Magisk Manager, go to Settings > Hide Magisk app.
What worked for me is installing Insular ( from Fdroid) and then clone the App that complains about root to the work environment.
I just downloaded musescore and installed it. It hasn't detected root on my phone. I use Shamiko to hide root. Get Fox's magisk module manager from fdroid. Then use it to install Shamiko. Make sure you turn off Enforce Denylist in magisk so Shamiko can enforce the deny list. Hide the magisk app using the feature in magisk. It works for me.

Oh yes I can't seem to open musescore too even with safety net pass. But it is because I am using MicroG. I tried it on my other phone with Play Services and it works fine with hidden root (shamiko and magisk disabled) and safety net pass.

I use MicroG as well. I can load the app and use it, I just can't subscribe because it requires GSF to make payment.

You can open it right? But can you select and open a random piano piece or something like that. For me, the piece loads up then detects something (root, safety net idk) then just tells me I can't for root reasons. I tried using shamiko too and all the root hiding methods I know and I still couldn't open a piece. It does load the main menu for me too on MicroG+patch playstore but can't open the contents.
It's been roughly a month. Has anyone found a fix for this issue yet? There was discussion about the issue here where a dev 'fixed' the app for someone with a rooted phone. However I cant tell what the dev did because all his messages are deleted, for all I know he could of shared an apk or something, guess I'll never know. I've decided to try to get in contact with one of the people whose issue managed to get fixed, although I don't know if he'll ever respond. Apparently in the forum, he told the dev that he assumed the block was intentional. Maybe this could hint us towards a fix because maybe the block doesn't target rooted users?

If thats the case then perhaps the app isin't checking for root? Theres no way musescore has more sophisticated anti-root software than some banking apps out there. Perhaps it's detecting the os that the user uses instead? I can confirm this because my samsung s7 edge with the same lineage os version as my Xiaomi doesn't want to play any scores either. This issue also happens to people who have no custom rom or even no root, it has to do with the os that you use rather than being an issue with root.
So what, did I type 2 paragraphs on a one month old forum just to rant? No. I will find the issue (well, I already found the reason in the text above), and I will try to fix it, not by making any workarounds such as cloning the app but getting the app to reliably work on a rooted / custom rom phone.
EDIT: Maybe using something to spoof the OS to make apps think it's a different OS?
POTENTIAL FIX: So in new versions of magisk, the developer decided to remove magiskhide. Turns out that having magiskhide turned on makes musescore actually be able to function. I tested this on my samsung s7 edge (didn't want to brick my Xiaomi phone by accident just yet and it worked. However I labelled this 'POTENTIAL' as downgrading magisk isin't really a plausible fix and could still be considered a workaround.

Its not opening for me because I'm using MicroG. Like banking apps, MuseScore checks for specific Play Services version. Since microg uses idk android4.4 play services, it will fail to load any Banking Apps or apps of the same kind that uses that check regardless of root 'cause that version's too old and a potential for security. For the OS check, I guess it does check it too. I tried on two emulators and both failed to load a piece as well (might be because of safetynet cuz emulators can't pass it). There are xposed and magisk modules that can spoof OS and even prevent the app from seeing user installed apps. I haven't tried that method because I switched ROM now and got MuseScore working fine even without hiding root.

Weird. I have microG and I managed to get musescore working without switching roms. All I did was use safety net fix, enabled zygisk and added it to the deny list. Tried it before and it didn't work, probably because I didn't install safetynet fix. Who knows, maybe it's related to what type of GApps you install. I guess this issue is fixed for now.
