[How To] Bypass Lloyds and Santander Root Detection
- Thread starter mrsweet1991

I don't know. Maybe it's rom related. I had been using it for maybe 6 months and after updating the app' it's just stopped working.
The app can look for other things like TWRP folder, folders belonging to apps that only work with root etc. Mine was detecting root yesterday and now it's not. All I did was reinstall my ROM fresh without custom recovery. If that wasn't what fixed it, the only other thing it could have been was that the previous setup my Magisk was originally installed pre-v22 and then updated. Maybe some old files were left over were detected by Lloyds and are no longer present now I did a fresh install of everything. V22 changed the way Magisk works entirely and there's possibly some leftover files that MagiskHide no longer hides.
Personally I would do what I did and back up your stuff and start fresh and see if that works. Just remember to use the additional block list from post #85 and any others as I had issues about 2 months back and that list did the job. Bit sure if there's any others I need, but that was the first one I came across
I agree. Halifax and Lloyds are exactly the same app. Even Gui and root detection same. Only the color and the logo different. That is why hard to understand if both has been updated to latest version of 69 why Halifax does launch but Lloyds does just crashing all the time?? Magisk hide xprivacylua settings are exactly same.
Have you tried without Adaway? It does work without for me with Santander all the time and sometimes with Halifax also. Lloyds is very rare as most of the time just carshing...
What about Halifax? Lloyds does not detect root for me.
I have just loged in both Lloyds and Halifax succesfully...I have realized that xprivacylua was not running in the background. Before trying to log in i have just make sure xprivacylua runs and all the settings are correct.
No Adaway at all.
However still can not understand why does work only occasionally and not continously??

Not tried Halifax to be honest. Only used Lloyds and NatWest with last setup and only Lloyds since the reinstall of everything.
I see. It is ok. I have Natwest also. Never have got issue with it.
Always santander and lloyds group are the troublemaker in the last few months.I had forgotten to add the host file list to AdAway. After adding it it worked again. Thanks for the help though. I will also keep them on my mind.
Lloyds stopped working for me too since the last update. For MIUI users (and perhaps other skins with sandbox capabilities), if you install it on second space, it will work again.
Probably because you still have the apps, files and folders left over from root and the app is detecting them. Need to remove them or wipe/reinstall OS as just relocking the bootloader won't remove them
On Xiaomi phones bootloader re locking is done through Miflash tool which formats internal and wipes everything. I figured it out tho when i restored my apps etc through mi cloud it had re installed Magisk manager that was the culprit.
Unfortunatelly you can not use restore data....as this will cause the issue. You have to manually install magisk and other root detection manager tools and basically every system affecting tools from scratch. For other apks use titanuim or other alternatives but not for system affecting apps like magic xposed etc.
Now, on my newly installed A11 based custom ROM works everything like charm. Santander Lloyds and Halifax also.
For some reason Halifax and Lloyds detect magisk manager even repackaged. Freezing it (or uninstalling it) fixes the problem.
Santander finds it no matter what I do (including island and work profile)

Hey. I have lost all the sequence of this topic but i managed to find a way to have my app list hidden in order to avoid santander mexico app not to find my titanium app. There is an LSPosed module calle hide my app list (https://github.com/Dr-TSNG/Hide-My-Applist) and it does what it says. Take a look and let me know if you solve it

Just installed PILOT on my Poco F3 in the UK, I had a notice to say that PILOT is still not ready for general release and will be available in the coming weeks. I was not able to take a screenshot, I just got a black screen (this is caused by protection)1
Got it working with lsposed and HMA
This is not required with Apatch, but had to migrate back to KSU as Apatch version of Zygisk next doesn't hide traces properly. V 283 worked perfect but I accidently deleted it and repos are now gone lol.

24Hi All,
I've seen mention of Santander but not of Lloyds bypassing the root detection. After much trial and error it's quite simple and my method will bypass both Santander and Lloyds. If bypassing Santander just do the same for the Santander app as ive said to do with Lloyds.
<--Update 08/06/19-->
Having flashed a new rom and following my steps again I received the detection message again but was resolved by using the Canary build of Magisk Manager.
To get Magisk Manager Canary click the link below:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/magisk_...pp-release.apk
Once installed, open Magisk Manager and go to
settings > Update Channel > Canary
Go back to Magisk home screen and swipe down to check for updates, you'll receive an update for the canary build. Once you update follow the guides original steps below.
<--End of update-->
In Magisk Manager Settings:
Enable Magisk Hide
Enable Sytemless Host
And if the option is available select "Hide Magisk"
In Adaway:
Download my exported blacklist from:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xCBB4iVA65gJTTYqbhU1qTlghVYyAL1S/view?usp=drivesdk
Then in adaway click the 3 dots in the top right to open the menu, select "Your Lists" then press the menu button again in the top right and press "Import all lists" and select the file you downloaded.
With the urls added go back to the adaway main screen and press "Download Files and Apply ad blocking" and Reboot device. If "Download Files and Apply Ad Blocking" doesn't appear, click "check for updates" and then download them which will do the same thing.
Once your phone has restarted install the Lloyds Banking app but don't open it. Go into Magisk Manager and select Magisk Hide from the menu and tick the Lloyds Banking app. Reboot phone and Lloyds should work perfectly!
I managed to do this from researching other threads and adding my own bits in so credit due elsewhere as well, as usual you can follow this guide but do so at your own risk, i take no responsibility5Okay, I have managed to get access to Santander UK and Lloyds Bank, both of which were detecting root by default. It turns out that I was using Hide My Applist (HMA) in the wrong way. But the wording of that app's UI is not very helpful... I thought that I had to "enable hide" for Magisk (so that other apps wouldn't see it), but it turns out I had to "enable hide" for the apps that I wanted to hide Magisk from!
So, here is a detailed description (along with some screenshots) of how to get things working—hopefully!
- You will need to install Magisk and Hide My Applist (HMA). You will also need to install the following modules within Magisk: Shamiko, Universal SafetyNet Fix, and LSPosed.
- In the settings of Magisk, make sure 'Zygisk' is enabled and 'Enforce DenyList' is disabled.
- You do not need to hide Magisk in this settings menu, as we will hide it later using HMA.
- Next, press 'Configure DenyList' and select the app you want to use.
- In my case, this was the Santander UK app, so I will use that as an example for the remainder of these instructions.
- Now open the Hide My Applist (HMA) app
- Select 'Template manage' from the home screen
- Create a new blacklist template
- In the template name, call it "Hide Magisk"
- Press 'Edit list' to the right of '0 apps invisible'
- Select Magisk
- Go back, and back again (to the home screen of HMA)
- Select 'App manage' from the home screen
- Search for the app that you are wanting to use
- In my case, this would be the Santander UK app
- Select the app to enter its settings menu
- Turn on the 'Enable hide' switch
- Leave the 'Work mode' switch off
- Under 'Template config', press "Using 0 templates"
- Choose the template that we created above, "Hide Magisk", and press OK
- Go back, and back again to the home screen
- Search for the app that you are wanting to use
- Select 'Template manage' from the home screen
- At this point, we should be done
- Reboot your phone and give the app you wanted to use another go
5I think we should start leaving bad reviews on the play store for apps that go to extreme lengths to detect root/custom recovery, especially in the case of apps that treat you like a criminal just for having a custom recovery, when you aren't even rooted.
If an app still detects that you've been "jailbroken" (eugh) when you've tried everything possible to hide it, then whatever it's doing in your file system is extremely intrusive, and that's a good enough reason to try and knock a star off their review score if you ask me.
Apologies if this is off topic, but it's really pissing me off that so many app developers treat people like criminals just for wanting to have full control of our own devices, or to get a bit more life out of phones that would otherwise succumb to planned obsolescence when the official firmware updates dry up. Screw these guys.4This app (Santander UK) is using Isolated Process and a scan of your installed apps to detect root.
Just use latest Magisk Canary + Repack of Manager + Riru Core v. 23.9 + Unshare Module (to enable Magisk Hide for Isolated Process) and this app will work perfectly with root. I tested on my device. (Mi 9T Pro + MIUI 12.5 - A11)
Riru Core v. 23.9 can be downloaded from Magisk Repo.
Download Riru Unshare Module from the link below:
Enable Magisk Hide for the app and its processes (uk.co.santander.santanderUK and uk.co.santander.santanderUK : oa.UB)
If the app FC right after starting you need to search for a possible installed app triggering the detection or simple revoke the permission "Get info about installed apps" at app settings (this can differ from device to device)
After every update of the app the Isolated Process name can be different so just re-add it to Magisk Hide again and everything should be fine.
More info about the exploit (Isolated Process) used by a large numbers of banks to detect Magisk:
4Santander v.23.3.4 (Brazil)
Xiaomi MI 9
EvolutionX 7.8 (13)
Magisk Delta 25.2
+ Zygisk - LSPosed
+ Magisk Hide (gms and appbank)
HideMyApp (black or white list)
My custom ROM pass safetynet (Yasnac, Integrity Check) by default. After only the Magisk APK is installed continues to pass on Safetynet, but the Santander app detects root, so the bank app identifies some installed package even renamed the Magisk. HidemyApp (HMA) didn't solve the problem in standard Magisk 26.1, but worked with Magisk Delta 25.2.
