[MOD][XPOSED][4.0+] RootCloak - Completely Hide Root from Specific Apps [2014-01-14]

devadvance · Dec 18, 2013

What does this module do?
Some apps, such as finance/banking, enterprise, or audio/video apps will not run if your phone is rooted. This module allows you to run apps that detect root without disabling root. You select from a list of your installed apps (or add a custom entry), and using a variety of methods, it will completely and transparently hide the signs of root from that app.

Get Started Here
If you have Xposed already installed, you can simply install RootCloak from the Xposed modules repo.
More detail instructions for how to use RootCloak are available here: https://github.com/devadvance/rootcloak/wiki/How-to-use-RootCloak
RootCloak is available on the Xposed Modules Repo here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.devadvance.rootcloak2

I exported the module with just the minSdkVersion changed to 10 (2.3.3). I don't have a 2.3.3 device available, so I won't upload it to the repo yet.
If you have a 2.3.3 device, would you mind testing it?

Do you plan to share the source codes? I would like to customize the module to the Polish programs. I did a similar program but did not have time to develop it.

Hi,

Yelo TV not working

EDIT: There was an app that worked for Yelo TV but it was removed from the store. It was called "temp root remover JB+" but it was removed.

Did you add the application in RootCloak settings, and then force close it (if it was already running)?

If it still doesn't work, please send me a PM about, that way I can give you an email to send the APK to.

I just successfully tested IKO!

I haven't decided about releasing the source code yet. That might make it easier for companies to bypass the module.

AirWatch still detects root. I assume it will be the same problem as Good For Enterprise.

I completely uninstalled sky go and erased all traces of sky go. I then added this via the latest exposed and checked and rebooted I then downloaded sky go and added it to root cloak rebooted and sky go still detects root. Have you a workaround for this. I've tried all the threads to get it to work

Thanks for all of the feedback everyone!

I'm working on analyzing in analyzing the various apps to see how they detect root. There are two issues:
1) The TV apps require login before they perform root checking
2) Many of the apps that don't work most likely use the NDK (native libraries, not Java code) to check for root. This makes it extremely difficult/impossible to handle.

Does NOT work with ISIS Wallet (T-Mobile).

When you launch ISIS, it requests root, then just shows a blank purple screen followed by a blank black screen and finally force-closes.

If you want to know how to support ISIS, talk to joderme, he has written a working ISIS root bypass mod for ISIS 2.0:

Hello,

Citrix Worx detects root. I think it's nearly like Good...

i've read somewhere that Citrix Works detects Busybox and all the simlinks pointing to it.
Does your apllication hide it ?

devadvance · Dec 19, 2013

It hides "which" and "busybox", but not all of the symlinks. However, I'll take a look at the Citrix app to see if does that. The problem is that busybox being installed doesn't necessarily indicate a device is rooted.

I can test Good for you tomorrow. I have to submit a request for access. I know that it checks the first time you log in so I'll let you know.

How does an app detect root access using the NDK? Google search isn't returning any answers.
