Losing root after a while?! - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello folks!
I have a weird problem with my rooted OPX 3.1.3. I'm still using this version because xposed is not yet officially supported with the november patch (last time I checked, it was being tested).
I haven't been able to successfully hide supersu and Xposed with Chainfire's SuperSU (even tough I think it's very good!). So, instead, I'm using PHH's SuperSU 266-2 with Magisk v9 (and Xposed 86.6). As expected, I can use Android Pay (by hiding it with Magisk Hide functionality), but after a while, I lose the root access...
A reboot "fix" this, but it's kind of annoying. As this happened to someone else? What could cause this kind of problem?
Thanks and let me know if you need more info!

You should post this in the magisk thread. Maybe someone over there might be able to help.

Thanks. I just did.

Android Pay - How to get working?

I'm running 47A from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/vs985-46a-stock-flashable-firmware-t3304365
It's got systemless root, I'm using SuperSU and I have TWRP installed. No xposed.
I really don't want to use xposed/magisk and I'm probably willing to lose root (would be nice if it was temporary vs permanent).
If I uncheck enable superuser in SuperSU and reboot, Android Pay still doesn't work.
So what exactly do I need to do in order to get Android Pay working?

I'm not rooted (anymore), but with bumped TWRP and SuperSU, apparently you can work around this. It appears PokeMon GO is blocking rooted users due to people spoofing their GPS location via Xposed modules, etc. This article explains how to flash something called Magisk that apparently works for both Pokemon GO as well as Android Pay. Again, I'm not rooted so I have no idea if this will work or not, but he lays out the instructions pretty well. I believe that since you are already rooted and bumped with TWRP, and no Xposed, you just need to obtain Magisk and flash from within TWRP.

Hi iBolski,
Did you mean to include a link to an article about installing Magisk with an Verizon LG G3?
I've been looking for a way to install a stock unrooted rom for days but have been coming up short. Magisk would be ideal but I can't seem to find any threads that have a stock (unrooted) firmware image or a guide on how to unroot a pre-rooted firmware. I wish a tutorial specifically for a Bumped VS985 existed to set up a stock firmware or other ROM with Magisk because I have been having trouble piecing information together and am nervous about causing problems with my phone!
If anyone else has a Bump'd VS985 Verizon LG G3 with TWRP installed that is either unrooted or have Magisk running successfully with Android Pay or Pokemon GO, please let us know how you did it!
Thanks!!
EDIT: I just noticed that you yourself are running stock unrooted 46A iBolski... do you have TWRP installed or are you fully stock and accepted an OTA? If TWRP, does Android Pay or Pokemon Go work for you? And how'd ya get to where you are?

Sorry about forgetting the link. I updated my previous reply with the article in question.
As to your answer, I do not have TWRP installed. I do have all the official OTAs applied.

Thanks for updating with the link. I did see that guide but am unsure about how to handle it with BUMP and what ROMs it works with.
If anyone else has a stock unrooted ROM or working Magisk with their TWRP/BUMP'd G3... please let us know!

As a follow up to my own post, I was able to pass the SafetyNet check (I used SafetyNet Helper from the Play Store to check) on my CloudyG3 2.5 LG G3 VS985. This was not without it's negatives however (no Xposed or root).
I simply flashed the Xposed Uninstaller and uninstalled the app, then from within the SuperSU app settings selected the option to permanently unroot. I did of course make a nandroid backup before doing this so restoring will not be an issue, but I do now get a green screen / pass to SafetyNet which should mean Android Pay and Pokemon Go will work.

Did you try Magisk at all? I am on Jasmine ROM (Android 5.1.1) and would love a way to still have Root & Xposed, but be able to pass SafetyNet for PokemonGO and Wallet
Question on XDABBEB's VS985 ROM
Considering that this phone will probably see no more OTA's, I'm ready to go back to root, but I don't want to break Android Pay. Also, I'm not going to use Kingroot. Don't trust it. So, I'll TOT back to 10B to flash XDABBEB VS985 ROM. But i have some questions regarding it (I haven't ran a custom ROM in almost a year).
Does anyone know if removing SuperSU from XDABBEB VS985 ROM will allow Android Pay to work? Curious if so, otherwise, I'll probably just stick with my stock 48A unrooted phone in order to keep Android Pay.
I also miss TiBu as my backup tool. Yes, LG Backup is nice and all, but TiBu is so much more flexible, including the scheduled backups that I like to do as well as pushing to my Google Drive for backing up the files. Also, TiBu doesn't store it in one giant backup file. I really wish LG Backup would store each app as a separate file, rather than one giant, humongous file. Also, if I do upgrade to a new phone that's not LG, LG Backup won't work for me, so I'll need TiBu (and of course, I have to make sure the new phone is rootable).
Thanks!
While I have not tried this (I plan to try magisk later this week) supposedly Reddit says we can use this bump script after applying magisk in order to make everything will boot. I'm reading mixed comments about if/which certain bootloader is needed to have this work (KitKat vs Lollipop vs Marshmallow) or which ROM to start with as a base (though I saw CM 13 mentioned). If anyone tries this, let me know. I'll post my results in the coming days.

Root free ROM/what passes Safetynet?

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a ROM that will pass the Safetynet checks but it seems these days everything is comes pre rooted. I've tried unrooting it (SuperSU app > uninstall root) but no luck.
Can anyone recommend a ROM or an unroot method that might work?
Just wondering what you're trying to achieve with the Safetynet check? Once I'd done "full unroot" on a few ROMs, I could quite comfortably play Pokemon Go on them, which allegedly uses a SafetyNet check.
For instance, I'm using Exodus now (with full unroot) but this has worked with many other ROMs too, such as SLIMrom.
Krexus-CAF is not rooted from memory, but it also is a little behind in security patches at the moment.
If you explain your end goal, someone might be able to help a little more!
Cheers
Thanks, it is to play pokemon go. I was using the magsik but since that stopped working and I don't use root for anything I thought I would just loose root. I've tried 4-5 ROMs including CM13, CM14 and exodus over the last few days bit no luck.
Would you share your full unroot method? what ever I'm doing I'm not doing right
have same question.
waiting for the best solution
Use Magist to bypass Safetynet
Try Magisk or System-less root.
If you really wish to fully unroot, go to SuperSU -> Settings and tap on unroot. It will unroot.
As you said you have already tried it the try this method :-
- Go to TWRP.
- Go to advanced page.
- Tap on File Manager.
- Browse to /system/bin/
- Delete su file.
That's all, you will be fully unrooted (no sure whether a word called unrooted is there! )
Good Luck :good:
Thank You!
Use magisk/suhide

Magisk has system less root,xposed,v4a,busybox
Works gr8 with miui 8 6.9.29
Finally a temporary working method to use Systemless Xposed and bypass SafetyNet
Get Pokemon back to work in latest safetynet upgrade.
The below procedure along with the above "Root Switch" apk will allow you to play Pokemon again.
Alternatively there is a new file/patch for suhide that passes the latest SafetyNet Update.
Finally a temporary working method to use Systemless Xposed and bypass SafetyNet
Above works on Xiaomi.eu 6.10.13 (MIUI), marked temporary because if SafetyNet gets update again, it will probably fail again.
Use Suhide v0.55 and systemless supersu v2.78 SR1.

The answers I needed.

Magisk support or this phone dies.

Netflix no longer works for me as Google SafetyNet DRM detects root (SuperSU, busybox, and unlocked bootloaders). Currently, the only work around is Magisk hide, which means you need johnwu systemless root using MagiskSU and the Magisk framework flashed. There is a major snag for the G3 however, due to bump. Bump is what allows a custom bootloader to be accepted. MagiskSU and framework work by modifying the boot.img to mount a hidden partition. With stock ROMs above 5.1.1, you cannot just bump the modified boot image as it causes flashing red and blue lights and bootloader not to verify correctly.
I could switch to a different ROM like Cyanogenmod and use a bump script to get it to work (complicated and unwanted). Developer support is lacking at the moment, so I am not holding my breath. Not to mention, SafetyNet will keep evolving and leave this method behind eventually. The future is likely in a temp root solution just to apply system-less modules and ad-blocking as rooted users become more persecuted by major services.
Even so, I would love a method of using Magisk hide currently while staying on stock MM if possible.
Oh no! I had no idea Magisk wasn't working for stock roms.
I was just looking it up because I got the dreaded screen dying issue (paper fix is working for now) and was thinking of starting over with a new G3 and putting Magisk on it.
I guess I'll have to use a custom ROM if I do that? Are there any that can pass SafetyNet?

Moto Z Stock Rom 6.0.1 "root undetected" problem?

Hi
so I bought a new Moto Z because I wanna use Xposed. Had already another one, updated to Nougat unfortunately. So I bought a new one.
Unlocked bootloader, flashed Recovery, flashed TurboZ Kernel, (all after this guide) tried to root it. There is the problem.
Once I flashed SuperSU.zip and booted, opened SuperSU everything is fine. But when I open an app which requires root access, the grant access dialog opens, I grant access, but then the app freezes or doesnt recieve the access. I open SuperSU again and now theres a pop up dialog which only says "root undeteced" and a link to "How to root" on the SuperSU Homepage.
I tried with 2.82, 2.81, 2.79 (which has another dialog coming up saying "there is no super su data installed and super su cant install it) with the same link). Tried with 2.46, doesnt even install it via recovery flashing. Soooo....I dont know. Xposed is somehow working since I flashed it and modules are working fine but everything else isnt. Which is super weird.
I googled it of course and it seems that there is a problem with newer versions of super su atm where other people have the same issue. But I wanted it to use as my daily driver now and dont want to set it up if root doesnt work properly.
In some thread some guy suggested to install Magisk. Never heard of it. Read a bit about it....didnt quite get it. Is this a root alternative or something?
Can someone please help me. Its pretty annoying.
Thanks a lot already!
Cheers
Had issues with supersu, too. Installing magisk is indeed the way to go, and, yes, it is an alternative root method and more. Flash zip file in twrp, then install magisk manager from play store.

Google Pay After Following WTF Unlock/Magisk Guide

Hello all, I tried search the Q&A threads for any solution to my problem about Google Pay complaining about altered phone.
I have an unlocked US998 V30 variant (Nougat) that I almost never updated till now.
I followed the WTF guide using Magisk 18.0 and 20b KDZ file.
Then afterwards, I downloaded 20e, f, g, h TWRP files and flashed them via TWRP using zip queue.
In the same TWRP proces, I accidentally flashed Magisk 19.3 and that caused my phone to go into bootloop error.
I managed to fix this by going using hardware buttons to go back into TWRP, resetting everything and flashing Magisk 18.0 and the other two verity/rctd zips.
As I am reinstalling and resetting up everything, I had to update Google Play Services for Ebay (and other) apps to work (Not sure if this information is important).
When I got to trying to setup Google Pay, it complains about the phone being rooted and altered in some way.
I've tried removing phone permission from Google Play Service/Store (no go).
I've seen people suggest updating Magisk to 19.x, but I am wary of that after my bootloop fiasco.
Anyone have any suggestions or am I SOL on Google Pay?
At least on my VS996, you can upgrade Magisk outside of TWRP. In other words, have the Magisk Manager update itself, and Magisk directly (I think it's called "Direct Install").
I'm on 19.3 now without issues. This also solves the GPay issue, because nothing would let it work properly on 18.x in my experience... you have to be on 19.x for Gpay to work.

Can anyone else confirm this works with a US 998 Unlocked variant? I am not sure if I should upgrade my Magisk again and go through all that.

Yes, it works. As said, update Magisk through the app, IOW, when u boot the phone and Magisk says there's an update, do it.
Also, be sure to have gpay hidden from Magisk, in the 'Magisk Hide' section. Not sure if it matters but I also have google play services and google play store hidden.
Cheers

FWIW, I did not have the Magisk Hide anything, and Gpay is still working...
As the above mentioned posters said, installing it directly from Magisk Manager worked (19.3)!
However, after I rebooted, SafetyNet was failing and I found out it was due to Systemless Xposed Module.
Uninstalled that through the Magisk Manager, which worked and was able to successfully use Google Pay after hiding Magisk itself.
It is a shame I cannot use both Google Pay and Xposed at the same time.

You can use Xposed and pass Safety Net. There's a guide I wrote.
You have to install THIS version of Xposed (called edXposed), enable it, then download specific Xposed modules which work with it.
Xposed and Safety Net Pass -- How To!
(with Gravity Box links)
There's link for Gravity Box, and you can look in the edXposed repository and see other Xposed mods in which you might be interested.

That was not the issue.
1) If you made a backup in TWRP, all you had to do was delete boot and then restore boot from the backup.
2) You never flashed the Magisk uninstaller before updating magisk. This is a common issues going from V18-V19
