Magisk support or this phone dies. - Verizon LG G3

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?

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.

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.

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.

Looking to install custom ROM (G925F)

So after having a metric f**k ton of issues trying to get a custom recovery to work on 6.0.1, I gave up trying to install a custom rom and eventually went back to stock unrooted. After updating to 7.0 and waiting a bit, I gave it another go and managed to get TWRP to work and rooted my phone. Now I'm looking to install a custom ROM and have a few questions.
Is there anything I should know before going in? Any prerequisites I need to get before/after flashing a custom ROM so certain features will work?
Can I use any custom ROM that is listed as compatible with 7.0/G925F? Or do I have to be more specific as to what version I get?
What should I keep an eye out for? Any features that are good/bad?
Anything else I should know?
As for my choices, it's currently between Nemesis and Noble. Anyone used either and care to share your experience? Any other recommendations?

The first and most important thing to do is make a backup. A nandroid backup is fine but make sure you back up your EFS folder. If this gets corrupted you will corrupt your IMEI and have no signal permanently. So backup efs and store somewhere safe like your pc.
I recommend doing full wipe before installing a custom ROM just so it's a clean install.
After that your pretty much good to go.
You can use any ROM that's compatible for your model only. So any G925F ROMs will work fine. Most support a number of models like G925F/I/V etc.
Most s6 edge custom ROMs are stable and have very few issues, and if there are issues then generally there are fixes for them.
Nemesis and Noble are both good stable ROMs. Also Omega ROM is a good choice. But my favourite that I used for over a year is CarHD ROM. It's customisation is endless.
One more is AlexisROM. Good ROM used for a while.
Hope this helps.

So after a painfully long download, I installed CarHD and I'm liking everything I see. My only issue is trying to get SafetyNet to pass. I've removed SuperSU, installed Magisk and its kernel and now whenever I check SafetyNet, it fails with "CTS profile mismatch". I've looked around on a few different threads about it and everything I've tried hasn't worked. Mostly because they revolve around MagiskHide, which isn't showing up for me.
My first thought is to completely uninstall magisk, go back to a stock kernel and start off fresh, but I'm not going to do that just yet as I wanted your opinion first. Is that the best thing to do or would it cause more harm than good?
And if it wasn't already obvious, yes I'm still pretty damn new to this, but I'm trying not to **** up as I quite like my phone working.
Edit: solved the MagiskHide not showing.. I'm an idiot and forgot it was under settings and not enabled by default.

You don't need any kind of custom kernel to use magisk, or at least you shouldn't. It should work perfectly fine with stock.
Try updating magisk manager app from xda labs and magisk hide should appear.
If it does then just enable magisk hide and hide all apps that require safety net, hide knox also if it's still on the ROM. Then you should pass.
If this fails I recommend to flash the ROM again, no need to wipe data and then choose magisk in aroma installer and flash again.
Let me know if you need help :good:

Fixed the MagiskHide issue, but simply enabling hide on the apps that I want to use doesn't work. I tried reinstalling the ROM as you said, but it never gave the option to choose Magisk over SuperSU. Then when I switched from SuperSU to Magisk, SuperSU was removed normally, but Magisk is installed and saying I don't have root access. Flashed Magisk kernel from CarHD as TWRP wasn't allowing install of Magisk with the other that came stock, then flashed Magisk again. Magisk saying I now have root access, but Magisk isn't installed and when I try to install it, the app crashes. Currently checking Magisk threads for a solution for that.
Tried reinstalling Magisk and clearning data/cache to no avail... I still have root access, but can't install Magisk through the manager.
Uninstalled Magisk, flashed stock kernel, re flashed magisk and now SafetyNet is passing, but still can't install Magisk through the Manager

Yeah, the manager is installed, but when I open it, it says there is an update available and under status says Magisk is not installed, v130 is available. There is no option to enable Magisk hide or any other extras available for download.

It's the magisk manager app. You need to install the new one. Delete the one you currently have installed and download latest one from magisk Thread here or from xda labs.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Should look similar to this.

You should be able to uninstall it with titanium backup or any app to remove system app.
Infact you should be able to just remove it as you would remove any other app.
Use what you used before to remove it when it didn't go and then reboot and it should go. If not flash the uninstaller from magisk thread.
Then start again, if you flash the newest magisk from the thread on here then it also should install newest magisk manager app.

No app that removes system apps can remove Magisk Manager it seems... TB says "Failed to locate the apk file", NoBloat Free says it removed it, but even after rebooting it's still there. Flashing the uninstall doesn't remove it either. I would manually uninstall through root explorer, but there's a risk I delete the wrong file and screw something else up.
Edit: Found Magisk Manger in root/system/app/magisk, backed it up, deleted it, rebooted, seems to be gone. Will try intalling new APK
Fixed it. Had to manually delete the apk, then installed the updated version and now it's showing as magisk is installed perfectly fine. Thanks for all the help.
Third and hopefully final edit: Getting kernel is not seandroid enforcing. Tried uninstalling magisk, flashing stock kernel, reinstalling magisk and still getting it. But it doesn't seem to be messing with anything, can still boot fine, safetynet is still passing so all looks pretty good.

No point starting a new thread when I can just ask here as it's a somewhat follow on question. I can't seem to get V4A to work. I've installed the module from Magisk, installed the APK, restarted my phone, loaded up the app and checked the driver just for it to say Status: Abnormal / Audio Format: Unsupported. Can't seem to find anything about a fix for it, been searching for about an hour, so either I'm blind or there's nothing on it (I'm betting it's the former).
When I open the app, I get a message prompting me to update/install the driver, despite it already being installed through Magisk. I've tried both the standard v2.5.0.5 apk and Nougat test fix, standard doesn't do anything and test fix has update/install prompt.

Good stuff. As for the seandroid message on boot you can just ignore it. It's not an error and will stay but doesn't affect anything.
As for viper first thing to try is remove the currently installed app and remove it from magisk manager modules.
Install busybox.
Freeze sound alive with titanium backup (don't delete just freeze)
Then flash this through TWRP
https://mega.nz/#!CV5wQYSa!i-V1UvJ_Lh9YoZDPN9rUUXuJNgXWcXRlhBE83fYH7e8
After this if it doesn't work let me know and I'll tell you next steps.

Now check that magisk module is enabled and the audio modification module is enabled.
You may also need a permissive kernel to get viper to work.

Googling permissive kernel is just coming back with a bunch of threads saying get a terminal emulator, type su / setenforce 0. Tried that, trips safetynet and doesn't change Viper.
I feel like it's not changing viper because I need it to stick through reboots, enable it, then reboot, but it's not persistent. How would one go about making it stick?
And honestly, is viper really worth all this hassle?

You can try Hacker kernel
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...l-hacker-kernel-s6-universal-t3254487/page234
Or arter kernel
http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/22.0/g925fi/
As for is it worth it? In my opinion yes 100%.
It depends really if you like the stock effects enough. Personally I love music and love been able to customise it. It sounds 10000x better in my opinion.

Custom rom question

Does it matter what version the rom is when flashing as long as it matches my model number? I read online sometimes if you downgrade the stock firmware you can risk bricking. My phone is a Samsung J3 Emerge (Sprint - SM-J327P). The reason I want a custom rom is to find one with an updated kernel. Apparently magisk needs a kernel version of 3.8+ for some features to work properly which is more than likely why my safetynet fails . Also trying to select something in magisk hide deselects itself when going back.
Flashing a modified boot.img with magisk to my phone trips the knox counter and says I'm running a custom binary. Would this be the reason safetynet breaks? Because as soon as I restore images in magisk and reboot, safety passes with flying colors. Is it possible to have a custom rom with magisk that passes safetynet?
I'm new to the forums and have never really asked for help as I was able to find pretty much everything from Google searching. Main reason I'm doing this is because I'd like my device rooted while passing safetynet.

Best ROM combination to use xposed framework & device id changer?

I have US998 rooted and is looking into xposed framework.
I've looked at numerous instructions and after mix-n-matching was able to install xposed somehow but after I enabled device id change, it froze at LG logo.
That was with Pie stock 30c.
I've tried coming down to Oreo 20e and as soon as I install xposed and reboot, it hangs again at LG.
I've came down to Nougat 10d and it still hangs.
What would be the best method (or custom rom) to use with xposed?
Thanks in adv!!

I've came down to Nougat 10d and it still hangs.
What would be the best method (or custom rom) to use with xposed?
Thanks in adv!!

I have Xposed with stock Rooted Oreo. Just make sure you're using the Oreo Xposed.

are you using systemless ? I followed this and was successful but Magisk shows it fails Safenet.

I thought systemless would bypass Safenet check?

Use edxposed from magisk download section
Though there's no guarantee that safety net will pass for the modules you use.

Like @tech_infinity mentions,
edXposed variant of Xposed passes Safety Net.
I wrote Instructions last year on how to install edXposed, but may be outdated by now since they mention specific release version. Probably updated version out there now.
I don't care about Safety Net, and neither does my banking app, so I kept just Xposed on my own phone. Whenever I decide to do a full clean install of everything I'll switch to edXposed.
