Alternative to SuperSU

As far as I understand it many banking apps simply check for the existance of supersu.apk, and if found denies access. Is it correct that by using another method to getting root, this problem might be solved? And if so, which alternatives are there (can Magisk be used on a OP3)?

Yes it can be done (I can use banking apps and Android Pay on my OP3).
1. Disable any in-built root/remove exisiting SuperSU.
2. Flash Magisk
3. Install Magisk Manager
4. Enable Magisk Hide
5. Try app - If it still doens't work go back onto Magisk Hide and enable it on that specific app by pressing the checkbox and it should work. (Try rebooting if it doesn't work)
6. If possible turn off devloper options/ADB options in settings as these can stop banking apps from working.
I hope this helps

I confirm magisk is legit and fantastic!!!
Sent from my OnePlus 3 using XDA Labs

Magisk works perfectly for all the apps which checks for the SAFETYNET......some apps need not be hided using magisk hide ...just bypassing the safetynet is enough for A-pay and banking apps ...

Had this as a small project for this Easter. However for 1) above, is it as simple as just running "Change superuser app" in SuperSU free before proceeding with 2-6) ? Have seen some rather complicated install instructions elsewhere - and can also see that some users have experienced various problems.

The only way I could completely remove SuperSU was to dirty flash OOS. Otherwise safety net still detected SuperSU. Rooted with magisk and used magisk hide. Can now play Mario run and used Android pay.

Magisk hide not working for Banking apps.

So i have successfully intalled TWRP and Magisk 19.3, everything is stable however one of the 3 banking apps i use recognizes that the device is rooted and denies me access. in the U. S. i use the TD Bank App and the Chase banking apps, and for these two either Magisk hide works or they dont care the device is rooted because am able to use them without issue.
the troublesome banking app is Banco Popular from the Dominican Republic. it detects root and denies me acces. i tried enabling magisk hide on it and failed, i then added magisk hide to all systemsl apps but that didnt work.
Banks in the DR always have a huge wait time and a lot can be done with the banking app therefore i would like to use it to manage my finances. is there anyway i can make magisk hide work or edit specific files in the system to prevent a root check?
i would appreciate any suggestions or links to other tgreads explaining what needs to be done

You could try to install RiruCore (Magisk Module), EdXposed(Magisk Module), EdXposed installer, and Zuper (EdXposed Module).
Tick the apps u want to hide at Magisk Hide and Zuper. This works for me

[Q] XIAOMI.EU - inject adaway / Afwall+ before installation ?

Hi,
I bought a joyeuse and want to switch from stock rom to xiaomi.eu without rooting my phone - but I really miss adaway and afwall+
Netguard is nice but I would rather prefer to use both apps a system apps.
Is it possible to add those apps to the ROM as system apps prior to the installation?
Thanks
HiHiMan

I don't think you could do that since both those apps need root access and being installed as system app does not remove that requirement. What would be wrong with rooting your eu rom?

Why not just Adguard which has the functionality of both and better in every imagianble way without needing root?

Thanks, currently I am using NetGuard - but I am kind of missing adaway with hosts instead using VPN
Root and edxposed (e.g. fpr xprivacylua) is not comparable with banking apps.
After almost 10 years working with rooted phones I (at least I try) to to keep this one as "virgin" as could be...
EDIT: but in case I just want to temporarily root the phone, what would be the best solution?
- flash ROM
- flash TWRP
- install Magisk
- install Titanium Backup
- install Adaway as system app
- install adwall+ as system app
- uninstall Magisk
- install gapps
done? will I probably keep widevine L1 and pass SafetyNet??

Seems to be alright

I have no issues with Advised and all three banking apps I use, I still so no reason to use this method as there's no positives in comparison to Adguard.

Adguard doesn't require a rooted device. This is why you don't have issues with banking apps

Exactly, there's no need to root if you're using Adguard. But it does support root if you don't want to use it via local VPN.

Citi, it still says device looks rooted, but everything works. Other apps I use that pass while using it are TD Ameritrade and Trust Wallet.

How does Shamiko differ from USNF for Gpay. Does it pass attestation?
Chase has issues allowing fingerprint unless you handle it specifically when rooting.

I can use GPay with just USNF
HSBC does not even work with Shamiko
it detects root when you open app and then closes.

What if you use the AirFrozen app? I have to use it to play PUBG New State to freeze magisk so it doesn't see it. I use Shamiko as well with DL off and GPay, and all of my bank apps work (one is picky and have to habe USB debugging off).

Question How do you hide your root-state?

Hello!
I have a Realme GT Master Edition, running Android 13 under RUI4.0
I rooted the stock rom with a patched boot.img by Magisk and without TWRP. (stock recovery)
So far so good...
My question is now how i can hide that my phone is rooted? There are some apps (for example banking apps or netflix app) that doesn't work because my device can't be trusted if it is rooted.
Magisk hide is not existing for newer devices. I googled it and can't find a working solution that i can trust.
Do you have a suggestion or if your phone is rooted how do you hide it from these apps?
What are Modules in Magisk? Maybe there is an option for this or a sort of expansion to install?
The most apps that look up the root state just warn me that my device is rooted but work as normal. (So it is no problem if there is no solution, I just don't want to see that warning everytime i start an app)

Thanks, this is working for me. Not in every App, but the annoying warning in the Banking app is gone.
Other apps seem to have problems connecting to a server. - But I don't really need that apps.
