Root with Spectrum TV app (solved) - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Anyone know how to hide root from spectrum TV app. I used magisk hide but that isn't doing it. It still is flagging the phone as rooted. Magisk hide works for my bank app so I don't understand why spectrum sees root.
Solved.... OP is @Ibuprophen and created a mod for the spectrum app.

Its the same with skygo
We have to wait until xposed works for pie i guess.
They have a module that hides root better than in magisk

I'm ready to crack this egg. Service costs too much for such heavy limits on what can be done with it. There was a project a while back, when it was TWC TV, to remove the in/out of home limitations, hide root, and allow Miracast/HDMI use. Wonder what happened to that.

are you using MagiskSU?

Yes

Anybody every figure out how to hide root from spectrum t.v. app. I've tried all settings and apps I can think of.

I'm assuming you tried repackaging magisk manager with a random name? It's in settings right under the "Clear Repo Cache". I have mine enabled so it now says Restore Magisk Manager, not sure what it says if you haven't done it.
Also try renaming or deleting the MagiskManager folder in the root of your file system. Magisk just stores downloads there so you don't need the folder. Pokemon Go requires both to be done as well as Magisk Hide.

I tried that earlier but something didn't work right. I ended up unrooting for now. I will reroot and reinstall this prop mod later today. Worth a try.

I'm curious if you have any Magisk Modules installed? I've read elsewhere that some root was being detecting because of some magisk mods. If so, maybe try without any mods installed or with Magisk Core Only Mode enabled.

Have you tried to login spectrum before rooting the phone with magisk? Then flash magisk and go to manager then menu and select hide. You can hide root from the spectrum app.

Think I found a solution. Check this post out. Tried it and its working with the latest Canary build of Magisk but I think it will work on stable version as well. I did hide the app with Magisk Hide or thought I don't think that is needed either.

[Q] Can't open SuperSu

I'm currently running rbox's updated 51.1.4.0_user_514006420 ROM. I can still grant superuser access to apps that request it, and apps that require su function properly, but I can't open the SuperSu app itself, it just crashes. When I try to open it from the KFTV launcher, the screen blinks and it returns to the applications menu. If I try to open SuperSu from XBMC, it causes XBMC to crash as well.

I think it has to do with the way I'm installing it. In theory if you were to delete the SuperSu.apk from /system/app and sideload the apk yourself, it might work better. And if you horribly break things, you can always just reinstall the prerooted rom to get it back.

I deleted it and sideloaded it back. Same behavior. Just want to get into its settings. I used the latest PlayStore version APK.
Yeah, same here. I ended up installing Clockworkmod's Superuser and uninstalling SuperSU. All I needed was the ability to disable notifications on a per app basis.

Direct download from CWM website
You'll have to re-approve superuser requests since it's a different app. I believe this is the same superuser app that comes with Cyanogenmod

From what I read the supersu is always the best one to choose. Certainly with phones.
I just dont know why we cant launch the app as normal to adjust settings.
Can you launch yours? Can anyone?

I don't know about "always the best". It's all the same crap really. CM ships with Superuser and it seems to work fine for everyone using that.

I also had the same issues. However, I was able to fix it by deleting "/system/app/SuperSu.apk" and then side-loading an older version of SuperSu (2.01). So, it looks as if the issue may be with compatibility with more recent versions.

opened towelroot again, clicked "make it rain" it tells me "device is not supported" (since pre-rooted rom ?)

Is this the SuperUser that is working for all on the FireTV... Does it matter what version ?? So latest works just fine...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.superuser
If so.. Is there a correct order to get rid of the SuperSU & Sideload the new one ??

Is anyone using Magisk?

If so, can you post a little about the initial setup? If you want to change kernels do you have to resort back to stock each time?
I understand you need to be completely stock when you install it the first time, I assume with an unlocked bootloader?
I got magisk running smoothly. I can share if anyone wants.
Sorry, what's Magisk?

I use Magisk on all Nougat roms. I haven't had any luck with "Chainfires" SuperSU v2.78 or any other version for that matter. I think the set up requires a couple more steps that just flashing a SuperSu zip like the one we are all used to but the benefits that come with Magisk are worth it and it just plain works. And if you use the Magisk manager you can also toggle SElinux on and off and turn root on and off for apps that require no root.. I have been on board since N hit and we has no working root accept for this, and once I used it I was hooked.

Yea no prob.
What I did was use the nexus root toolkit to unlock my bootloader (replacement phone) then followed this guide
http://blog.meltedpeng.com/easiest-way-to-install-systemless-root-and-xposed-on-your-nexus-5/
But I replaced the su with the phh super user from magisk.
I also did Franco kernel.
If I need to explain more let me know.
hie guys i am actually new to magisk and using this for pokemon go, my phone is nexus 6p and running android 7.1.1. Everything is working fine as i have checked on root checker pro, I am having some problems and i hope i will get some help here
1.) i am not able to move any app to system, error showing is 'can not remount system'
2.) when i restore any back up it restores till 53% and then stucks in bootloop
3.) i am not able to install any update even if i hide my root. tried flashfire also
and sorry for bad english

I flashed Magisk v 12, but not showing up in the Magisk manager app.
I'm on Google Pixel ROM(rooted), with SuperSU.
I thought that the installation guide on the Magisk site said that Magisk would over write SuperSU.
Whats your setup, and what process did you use to get Magisk working?

If the ROM does not come with root, reflash ROM and​ then magisk.

Magisk does not overwrite supersu, if it detects supersu it does not install it's own superuser version. It continues to allow the system use supersu.
If you want to use magisk and use magisk's su, then you'd need to use a rom that does not come rooted and then flash magisk.

Finally got Magisk installed by removing SuperSU, reflashing the boot image (stock), then Magisk - all good!

A lot of apps won't work if they detect root, or if the SafetyNet won't pass. Android Pay is one of them, but a lot of banking apps, Pokemon Go, Mario Run, etc won't work.

These are the magisk modules your looking for in the magisk manager app. Disregard the Dolby app. I'm assuming your rooted correct?
yes rooted corrected does it matter if the rom i have already had viper installed or should i unistall it and reinstall viper from manager.

I'd uninstall it, then get the new stuff. Does the old one show up in magisk manager?
The mixer path file is located in system/vendor/etc/mixer_paths_tavil_taimen.xml
Edit, not sure if that's the exact file you were asking for. Hopefully it helps you get what your looking to do if you can't get viper to do it.
So it seems that i can not delete viper from my apps could i just download it the magisk manager and reinstall it since i can uninstall my viper and the viper i have is the same that you are using oh i also uninstalled the drivers from viper.

Are you trying to install google pay while rooted? If so you need to unroot before you install Pay. You will also need to hide Pay from root using magisk hide.

Nope. However, if your just testing to see if your app works without root, I'd dirty flash your rom, then flash twrp again and let it boot up. You won't have root, but all your modules will still be there if you want to root again :good:
Thanks Badger!
Well I disabled all overlays except for Android system because I cannot undo it without root and still having issue with drawing over. Unable to hit the next button after after entering my three digit code and agreeing to the terms and conditions.

[ROOT] Working magisk oreo

UPDATE 3: This thread is now useless, I recommend flashing mesa's custom kernel and then just normal magisk
UPDATE 4: Magisk is now officially fixed you can use stable version of magisk now

After weeks of no root, i have finally found a way to get magisk up and running on oreo
And it shows on magisk manager too!
How i found out:
I had the magisk 14.2 and it worked but didnt show up on magisk manager, i thought maybe it could be the app's fault so i looked for magisk manager 5.3.5 and surprisingly it worked!
Here are the files

UPDATE: You can go ahead and update magisk manager
UPDATE 2: If it doesnt work still, then update magisk manager, it will show not installed but root still works

In another thread you posted that you are using W version of the device. As far as I know Oreo is not out for that device. Can we get some device tags posted to clear up confusion?

I use a custom rom that isnt on xda
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=890928&view=findpost&p=75159710
You must flash this kernel after flashing the rom or the touchscreen wont work
https://mega.nz/#!2l0gmAJC!rWtegzIZGl2qYuCgATEZFGsdFd3OgrKbwYM7hjTo97g
The official mck oreo has a device check that checks for a530f and if its not a530f then it would fail

URL leads to A8+ but I see a link to the A8 in the same thread. Is there a plan to release on XDA? There is a language barrier for me.

For example titanium backup need busybox installed for working

And it doesn't seem to work with the busybox from Magisk modules, says it can't detect root. That's actually the reason I don't use Magisk either right now, even though I've managed to install it and other stuff seemed to work ok (eg. Xposed). Titanium can't detect root, and if you try to install Stericson's Busybox it says something about unrecognized binary and refuses to install.

So you will have to install apps remember this a temp solution for root.
