(Obsolete) [Magisk] [2017.1.3] phh's SuperUser topjohnwu r2

[allen099]

How do you go about installing it as a system app? I cannot install Magiskv2 app as a normal app.

I used this site here:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-any-app-as-system-app-on-android/

Make sure you set permissions.

Added FAQ in the OP

My tester with v2 phh root only, using the v2 unroot method and he got transmission working
However after he flashes Xposed, it won't let him to buy things (I've tried to kill all Xposed background services but it won't help)

So people who really want to try Android Pay, don't do other mods yet, please test with only:
Stock rom + Magisk v2 + this phh root v2

Thank you very much!

P.S. The temp unroot issues in custom roms shall be fixed in Magisk v3

@topjohnwu, amazing work sir.

I have a N6p running stock. I installed Magisk v2, followed by the phh superuser v2. I had to pull the Magisk app out of the common folder and install as a system app, which now shows up and works.

My phone, however, is still not able to pay for items after disabling root. Is there anything that you'd like/recommend for me to try? Thanks again!!

The new FAQ added in the OP address this issue. You can delete the former Magis manager and try intalling PHH superuser v2 again, or if that didn't work (like me!), unzip the PHH superuser file and install the Magisk.apk as a system app.

I was able to extract Magisk Manager and install it as you suggested.

Question @topjohnwu I prefer Magisk Manager V1, any expected issues if I install that instead of the V2?

My phone, however, is still not able to pay for items after disabling root.

Mine, either. I have an N5. I have no trouble installing any of this, but AP doesn't work.
Here's what I did:

1. Uninstalled v1 Magisk Manager app and phh Superuser app
2. Flashed stock boot, recovery, and system
3. Booted to system
4. Made a successful payment (vending machine here at work--got a Dew!)
5. Booted to bootloader
6. Temp booted TWRP
7. Flashed v2 Magisk and v2 Magisk-compat phh Superuser
8. Booted to system
9. Installed phh Superuser app and made sure root was working normally
10. Disabled root in v2 Magisk Manager app
11. Tried a payment, but got the "unroot your device" message

I can report the same. Came from a fresh install and followed the exact same instructions as above. DP5 on Nexus 6P.

 

[adrman]

And another reporting the same. N6P, stock, rooted phh, Magisk v2, no other mods, stock recovery. Just tried to buy a bottle of bourbon and the transaction failed. I do still pass Safetynet though.

 

[BeRniTo]

Like the PN users above, it results in a half-unrooted state; apps like Titanium Backup can't obtain root, but the superuser daemons are still running
[/code]

I had the same issue but it got fixed after I installed phh's Superuser app. After opening Titanium Backup I was asked to grant root permission.

I think you misunderstood my post. It wasn't that I can't get root access for TiBu (or any other app for that matter), but that I couldn't unroot fully via the button. This is an issue with custom roms like PN and Chroma, and @topjohnwu has stated v3 should resolve this.

 

[Cares]

I can't seem to install Magisk Manager since upgrading versions. I deleted the folder from /data/apps. When I try to install the apk it doesn't let me. I also tried flashing the phh magisk file and it doesn't work, it only recreates the folder in /data/apps but not show up in my app drawer. Help?


Edit: Nevermind figured out I had to install as system app.

Unfortunately, there have been multiple reports of being able to add a card but not actually getting a transaction to go through. It's still unclear where the hangup is.

FYI, turns out there is no CTS profile match with Xposed and phh superuser. I believe there's an additional check at the point when Android Pay needs to actually make a payment, compared to when we should add a card.

 

[gqukyo]

I think people are disabling root which passes safetynet but they are still unable to pay via AP so it's not whether or not it passes safetynet because it does.

 

[n2phoenix]

I think people are disabling root which passes safetynet but they are still unable to pay via AP so it's not whether or not it passes safetynet because it does.

If they have Xposed, can they try deactivating it first in the Xposed Installer, reboot and try making a payment again? I did that (except the payment because I have no cards) and SafetyNet is completely passing the tests. No confirmation on whether we can make payments, however.

 

[gqukyo]

Well the whole point was to be able to use AP without the reboot so even if that works, it's not what people want

 

[n2phoenix]

Being able to add a card is not a true test of AP working. If you have Xposed enabled, the payment will not go through. Can you try disabling Xposed via Material Xposed Installer, rebooting, and trying to buy something?

I don't have a card unfortunately, so I can't verify if it makes payments. However, I'm checking it using the SafetyNet Helper app, and I've got these findings in relation to Xposed:

With Magisk's systemless Xposed disabled (but not completely removed from the phone) I ran the SafetyNet test and it returned all successful (request, response validation, CTS profile match) with Android Pay able to add a card. With the same Xposed enabled, however, it fails the CTS profile match, but AP is still able to add a card. I think the CTS test is what determines whether a payment can be made?

The step forward here is that we can toggle root without rebooting. That's a positive for those who don't have Xposed, but have Magisk's systemless root and phh's superuser.

 

[gqukyo]

What positive? People want to use AP and even though it passes safetynet, AP doesn't work and the reports mentions xposed wasn't even installed so it's not xposed. Unless you've actually added a card successfully don't say it works. Just because you got to a certain point in the AP app doesn't mean you can add a card successfully.

 

[topjohnwu]

OK, then maybe I'll use the super aggressive kill in the next update.
This will kill all current root apps process and background root shells.
Be aware! This may cause issues to background running root apps. I'll include them in the next update.

 

[sorewinner]

Thank you for this, even though PHH's root management apk is, to put it politely, not very well-received, if the app's reviews are anything to go by, and personal use. It only works from first install, until reboot. Then, all root requests are denied, since the prompt disappears almost immediately. Are there any other root manager apps that work with this version? I'm running CM13 on an HTC One S.

Maybe make this an option? The v2 is working beautifully for me so would prefer to have a choice if it might cause problems. Thanks!

Beautifully in what way? Can you make payments via AP? What does it enable you to do that you couldn't quite do before? Not being sarcastic here. I am interested.

Correct. I can now have my cake and eat it: I'm rooted and running Xposed but can use AP and receive OTA's without even having to reboot.

so why upgrade to the new version if its to help people with issues if the current runs perfect for you?
