'LG ThinQ' app can detect a device has been rooted even with Magisk Hide on #2308

Closed ashmandias closed 4 years ago

ashmandias commented 4 years ago

I am unable to use the LG ThinQ app -- it immediately closes the app with a message that their app cannot run on rooted devices. In talking with support, they admitted that their application looks to see if any root related apps are installed. I have uninstalled 'Root Explorer' and 'Root Checker Basic', the only two other root related apps I have, and their app still refuses to run.

It seems likely that they are seeing Magisk Manager. I'm reporting this in the hope that someone else can find a way to hide root from this app -- and any app that is using the same detection garbage.

I'd like to add that using the random name option in Magisk does not seem to work. Not sure what they are seeing.

Fox2Code commented 4 years ago

In the Magisk Manager settings you have the option to hide MagiskManager Please enable this option if you don't want MagiskManager to be detected

ashmandias commented 4 years ago

That's already enabled.

What modules do you have installed? I'd be very surprised if they were detecting a repackaged magisk manager itself.

Also when you repackaged did you change the app name to something completely unrelated to magisk or manager? For example I change my manager name to emojis.

ashmandias commented 4 years ago

I did have it named 'Manager' -- I will give changing it a try.

It works. I use it and also had to figure out why it was difficult.

You either have to end task ThinQ or end task and clear data of ThinQ, after you've renamed Magisk. I think you can get away with just "end task"ing it. It checks upon cold start of the app, if I recall correctly. If it detected Magisk once, and you hide/repackage Magisk, it goes off of its last state of "Magisk was detected", unless you end task ThinQ.

Besides that we have confirmation that it's not actually an issue, we also have this: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/1152

Please close this so that John doesn't have to.

I can't get "LG ThinQ" starting either. It always reports about the rooted device. I have Magisk 21.2 (21200) and Manager 8.0.5 (4802). In MagiskHide I have enabled the checkbox for "LG ThinQ". There are also 2 checkboxes enabled for "com.lgeha.nuts" and "ccom.lgeha.nuts:error_activity". I deleted the data and stopped and restarted the app, but it always complains and quits.

I tried all the guides at https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide and found that this one solved it for me: MagiskHide does not work on apps installed to adoptable/external storage. Any apps you want to hide root from has to be installed to the internal storage.

"LG ThinQ" is stubborn, got it working one time in the past by moving Magisk to internal storage and renaming/repacking the Manager to a different name. After the renaming I got issues with infinite loop with the dialog of updating. So I removed Magisk completely and flashed it from Recovery. Magisk is now up-to-date (22.0) again and working as usual. But "LG ThinQ" again rejects to start on rooted device. Magisk is installed on internal storage, "LG ThinQ" is on the Hide list, data cleaned, device restarted, still rejecting. I would need to rename the Manager again, going to the options, "Hide Magisk App"... Now I have 2 Managers, one called Magisk as usual, the other with my new name. The new one leads to the infinite update loop again: "Magisk Manager, Upgrade to complete Magisk manager for completion...download and install?"

I updated the module "MagiskHide Props Config" to v5.4.0-v122, now hiding works again.

Hi @tunastek , I had the same issue but after updating Magisk to 22.1, it does not get detected by LG ThinQ anymore.

Hey i have the same issue now with Magisk 25.2, zygisk is enabled and set the module and his submodule to enabled in the denylist. I also installed MagiskHide Props Config v6.1.2 and renamed Magisk to some random word. Sadly even i clear all data of LG ThinQ and even after reboot says it can not be run on rooted device :S Any suggestion?

Jon8RFC commented 1 year ago

Are you using this as well? https://github.com/Displax/safetynet-fix/releases I'd undo and then remove magisk props config. Then reboot.

Then clear data for the LG thinq app and try again.

Thank you very much! That solved it!
