Need to hide your root?

[hayabusa1300cc]

I made this tutorial for another post and going to post here if it helps anyone.

Not to take anything away from the OP
But there is a much easier way to do this I've been using since I rooted.

Download: hide my root from the market
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot

And simply hide the root when you need to. Works for any app you'd want to temporary excuse root from your system for.

I just realized it's not your email in the screenshots

I do have BusyBox installed, I'm running Team Sonic FreeGS 3 v0.0.8 ROM

**Update**
I installed VooDoo OTA RootKeeper v2.0.3 and was able to temp unroot my phone
Verified using Root Checker and it said I didn't have root, restored root using OTA and Root Checker said my phone was rooted
Didn't even have to reboot!

You can do this with SuperSU to enable/disable root and allow root access to apps all in one.

Simpler solution.Just go in your /system/app folder and rename Superuser.apk to any other name.You will still have your root but app that perform check wont be able to tell.

This works for Time Warner app,it wont let you watch live tv if youre rooted.After you rename your superuser.apk you will be able to watch live tv.Im sure it works for other apps too.

Renaming the superuser.apk worked for me! Thx :good:
But I wonder if there is any app out there which can do it automatically ...
I have tried these apps, but without success

Hide my Root (by Amphoras)
htt___ps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amphoras.hidemyroot

Temp Root Remover JB+ (by ZachsAndroidApp)
htt___ps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zachspong.temprootremovejb&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwMiwiY29tLnphY2hzcG9uZy50ZW1wcm9vdHJlbW92ZWpiIl0

Both have been proven to not rename the Superuser.apk.
So Whatchever has still recognized the root.

I have forgotten to mention that I am using Android 4.1.2 (Stock ROM).

 

[squeeks716]

I use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, works great. One click root bypass and one click to restore.

 

[Depressed T.Bear]

I tried this app, but my root is still detected :/
When I browse to /system/app/ the superuser.apk is still there and not renamed or s.th. ...

EDIT:

I found this script here, it works like a charm THANKS!!!

Downloaded Hide My Root from the Play Store. Installed, followed instructions, and worked like a charm. Android Pay now works on my rooted Nexus 6. To steal from McD's, Lovin' it!!

For anyone still here magisk has the ability to hide root built into it. You can enable it in its settings and then choose which app to hide root from. Works with snapchat.

It's not working with Pokémon Go. Suggestions anyone?

Pokemon go is checking safety net.
The only way to properly hide root nowadays is to root with magisk. Make sure you select Pokemon go in the magisk hide section

I must have other issues seeing as I'm rooted with Magisk. I'm on marshmallow no root now and I've also turned USB debugging off. Perhaps it's detecting old files or that my boot loader is unlocked!?

Did you tick Pokemon go in magisk hide section?

 

[manxtatty]

Did you tick Pokemon go in magisk hide section?

I did, well it was automatically ticked. I failed on all the safetynet tests, and tried the magisk module fix for safety net too :/ now I'm on os 6 beanstalk and do not have root and I've cleaned out old files, and tried installing older versions of Pogo. Still not working.. I'll try hiding the unlocked boot next. Thanks for your support.. All I wanna' do is catch some pokemon ha
