Gave up on Sandbox & island etc. Finally got it to work on my rooted Android 10 Xiaomi Mi 8 lite (firmware 11.2 Xiaomi.eu 20.3.5). Didn't ger Canary version of Magisk to help either which seems to not have the usual top LHS directory (!?).

Ultimately followed Acidspider instructions and hey presto...finally! :

Download and install app

Use magisk hide to hide banking app

Reboot

Hide magisk app

Reboot

Open app

And thats with Magisk 20.3 zipand stable update channel within Magisk. As others like saying, it worked for me....fingers crossed going forwards
[Magisk] TheDon13:
As I wasn't liking the firmware 11.2 Xiaomi.eu 20.3.5 in other areas away from Magisk Hide etc, I switched my rom to PIxelExperience Plus Platina....and now I can again no longer get Santander nor Halifax apps to not detect root, so both say phone is jailbroken/rooted.....back to drawing board....grrr!
[Magisk] avi312singh:
You managed to find anything yet... I wiped my phone clean and now the setup I had before with the hosts file and magisk hide isn't working for Santander anymore haha frickin UK developers making it so hard for us
[Magisk] TheDon13:
No, ain't found a solution yet. I prefer the platina plus rom I'm using to Xiaomi Android 10 offering and just using the websites for the picky banking apps. Makes no sense how one can still access your accounts via the websites, yet they don't allow the apps/apks to be used on a rooted phone. If its insecure to use the apps, it should be the same for the websites. Nationwide allow it all, so don't know what Santander & Halifax bank group issue is with rooted phones.....

Stopped working as of latest update

Hi, Santander appears to detect root no matter what I do to hide it now, if anyone knows a solution let me know.

I've installed it the normal way:

Repackaged Magisk under a different name

Restarted my device

Installed Santander

Used Magisk Hide on the Santander App

Then I've tried both restarting and trying the app and just straight starting it and both times it's been detected.

Install Island app from the Play Store, run it and let it set up the work profile. Once done, open Island, pick Santander app in mainland and clone it to island, run Santander from island or from the special shortcut with the little briefcase on its icon in your drawer (work apps tab). Buy me a pint ;)
[Magisk] GillyTheGhillie:
I tried this, it still immediately detects root.

UPDATE: For anyone reading this, you need to remember to magisk hid the original app as well, then it works perfectly.
[Magisk] acidspider:
I can also confirm the island way works, pain really but needs must for now
[Magisk] tr0ubles0me:
Glad I could help, mates :)

By the way, I recently updated to LineageOS 17.1, did NOT rooted the device, and initially Santander App worked out of the box as expected, I did not need Island, no problems whatsoever. But, 2 days ago Santander updated itself and the new version doesn't work - root detected although I'm not rooted. So I had no other option but to use Island again and something strange happened.

While Island was setting up my work profile, it crashed (a message popped up on my screen that Island has stopped) in the middle of the process. Android system continued with the work profile setup and eventually finished succesfully, but I was left with a bad feeling that the process didn't go perfectly. At the end everything is working, work profile and Santander.

Just wanted to ask if something similar happened to you?

Thanks.
[Magisk] hundred_miles_high:
Storage Isolation (storage redirect) app from playstore also works for Santander (maybe others too?) without using island app.

Trial version (redirect for up to 3 apps) in basic mode enabled for Santander app (plus magisk hide) worked for me.
[Magisk] acidspider:
Will.using this app enable running Santander app as normal in the app drawer? Not a separate work folder like with island?
[Magisk] hundred_miles_high:
Yes. It is running as normal from the app drawer for me.

Metro Bank Working

Just wanted to confirm that with Islands + Magisk Hide Metro Bank App is working fine and dandy...they never suspected a thing...:confused::D
[Magisk] Gediimas:
Right, so I have problem with TSB app. Spent a day trying to figure it out and still can't.

I'm on Galaxy S9 running LineageOS 17.1. Magisk installed and sorted (got it in the first place to be able to use Google Pay). So absolutely everything is working, other banking apps, Google Pay, Netflix. Root is succesfully hidden from them, but not TSB. SafetyNet obviously passed too.

Tried messing around with AdAway, no luck. Tried using Island, no luck.

So I'm at the stage where I try to login, get an SMS code to confirm and that is where I get stuck. It just doesn't login and shows an error that "it ran into a problem".

Anyone has got any ideas?
[Magisk] iwantademo123:
Confirmed Island fix for Santander on Android 10, Oneplus 6. Thanks
[Magisk] ulfw2020:
I've tried using OP's method, using Island but it didn't work. What worked for me was seting SELinux to enforcing, along with Magisk Hide. The app doesn't detect root but it crashes when you click through the 'What's new?' slides. Anyone else having this, or know another way to get Santander working? Thanks. I'm using a Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G on Paranoid Android quartz 4.
[Magisk] tr0ubles0me:
For anyone having trouble with Santander, even after hiding it in Magisk - rename the TWRP folder in your internal storage/SD card to something different, delete Santander's app storage & cache and try running it again. Apparently Santander's app is checking multiple things to detect if you're rooted or not. Having TWRP folder seems to be one of them.
[Magisk] ulfw2020:
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't work for me unfortunately. I managed to get both of them to not detect root by changing SELinux to enforcing, bu they both crash when you try to login. Any ideas?
[Magisk] hycraig:
Thanks can confirm this worked straight away for me.
[Magisk] ulfw2020:
Update: got the main Santander app working by: (I didn't use OP's method with AdAway, just these steps)

1. You need to be using the latest canary Magisk and Manager.

2. Install the MagiskHide propsConfig module and change the device fingerprint to coral.

3. Install the systemless hosts module from Manager settings.

4. Download the 4.90 (18) version app from Apkmonk.

5. Using the SELinux status changer app, change it to Enforcing.

5. Enable magisk hide on the santander app.

6. Update the santander app to the latest version to the latest version using the Play store.

7. Clear data and it should work.

8. For Santander, you need to set SELinux to Enforcing each time you use the app, which breaks fingerprint for me unfortunately. At least it works I guess.

I haven't been able to get the Wallet app to work, it works fine when you set it up but then crashes when you get to the main screen.

This method of downloading an older version of the app and then updating it also works for the Co-op Bank.

By the way, I passed both ctsProfile and basicIntegrity before this, but neither the Co-op nor Santander worked.
[Magisk] qazsparky:
which app did you use for #5 ?
[Magisk] ulfw2020:
I can't post links because I'm new - search for SELinux changer on F-Droid. Let us know if it worked.

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

Sorry, just realised for Santander at least, you have to set SELinux to Enforcing each time you use the app, which breaks fingerprint login for me. Bit of a pain, but at least it works.
[Magisk] qazsparky:
still no luck for me i did copy all the possible steps but i wasn't able to find a old version of santander on the website you suggested and the othere's that came across ;(
[Magisk] ulfw2020:
Here: https://apktada.com/download-apk/uk.co.santander.santanderUK?version=2222000
[Magisk] qazsparky:
That version forces you to update which sucks however I did grab 4.11.0 (33) which worked out ok for me not sure if I wanna risk updating it now lol
[Magisk] ulfw2020:
If it passed now, it should work fine when you update it. Make sure SELinux is set to Enforcing when you're updating and using the app and you should be golden. Let us know how you get on.
[Magisk] qazsparky:
Did update and flat out fails to work once again due to detecting root once again however going back to 4.11.0(33) everything works fine without any issues also there's alot of bad feedback about people having this issue since they updated on playstore
[Magisk] ulfw2020:
Guess they've made it oversensitive somehow. Good that the earlier version works at least.
[Magisk] haybill:
What a pain, I have my Santander App working on an old rooted Note 4, using the original Adaway, systemless Hosts, MagiskHide, and by renaming everything that could have root association in both my internal storage and even on my SD card ( this last but was probably overkill, but I'm trying everything)

It's working at the moment, but not holding my breath.

They really don't want rooted devices to be able to use their App, super annoying.

Thanks to everyone who has been helping us all to get round this.
[Magisk] MrPhilo:
How trustworthy is that site?
[Magisk] acidspider:
Storage isolation no longer working for me as Santander app updated
[Magisk] lepicane1:
Latest version still works on mine (Redmi Note 4) with Storage Isolation. I still have Magisk hidden, root hidden from Santander and use the block list for Santander in Adaway. So the only thing I changed was starting to use Storage Isolation.
[Magisk] acidspider:
Any particular settings in storage isolation or just default?
[Magisk] outrage_uk:
Worked for me, thanks :)

Can't believe after hours of messing around with different things, all I needed to do was rename the TWRP folder :)

See how long this lasts...

[General Questions and Answers] Edi1994:
Hi guys. This is my very first post here. I searched all over the internet for my problem but nothing. But it seemed that similar questions redirected me to this forum and that's why I decided to join.

So, all started this morning, when the colors of my Galaxy S7 Edge became faded, it was more noticeable on the black color. I tried to find a solution online and they suggested doing something under Developer Tools. The next problem and my big big mistake, was that I unchecked and rechecked something, that after restarting my phone, wouldn't let me enter, showing a text "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock". I searched for a solution and I saw that the only way was to install a new firmware.

I always thought my phone was SM-G935FD, because that is what it read on the "About device", but at the download screen it showed SM-G935W8. So I downloaded a firmware for the SM-G935W8. This is what it says also on the back of my phone, i noticed it just some minutes ago. So I went and I searched for W8 firmwares. I got the 6.0.1 from Canada and Bell carrier if I am not mistaken. I did the instalĺ. It started well, but after some updates it went from 6, to android 7 and it blocked my actual carrier. I can't make any phone calls.

Now I don't know what to do. I live in Albania and I purchased the phone here, it was a used one. I think at some point the phone was rooted because I had some very strange apps that has to do with rooting apparently (I never rooted a phone and I don't know much).

I want to know if there is a way to have an unlocked firmware. I don't even know what carrier was the phone on the first place.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try flashing the SM G935FD, it probably had the G935FD firmware flashed on it so that it would work in your region, flashing G935FD again might make it work again.
[General Questions and Answers] Edi1994:
Okay but, which version of FD? Because I search it and I see versions for countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Nigeria etc etc, and I am not sure if it will be a locked version again.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If it was rooted before, it was probably rooted so that some things could be modified to make it work in your country.

You said you flashed an android 6 firmware then you did an OTA update to android 7. That might be a problem because it might not be able to root again in order to make the modifications that were originally done to make it work in your country.

Here is a link to all the Russian firmware for SM G935FD, try the 6.0 firmware, try the various 6.0 firmwares and see if any of them work. After flashing the 6.0 firmware, if you get a notification saying there is an update available, DO NOT ACCEPT IT, keep the 6.0 android version. You will probably still be blocked by FRP, according to XDA rules, we can't help you bypass FRP, you'll have to figure that out yourself.

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935FD/SER/

Once you get FRP straightened out, do some searches for:

"How to root SM G935FD"

Then you can work on getting it configured to work in your region on your carrier. Sometimes this involves flashing a separate modem(radio) file that has been extracted from a different firmware in order to make your radio work with your specific carrier. You might be in for more than you bargained for. I don't know which specific modifications you'll need or what files you'll need to make it work in your region, im just trying to give you an idea of what you need to look into.

You can try some of the Russian android forums, someone there might know how to make the device work in Albania. You might want to ask around in those forums first before you try anything, that way you won't waste time trying things that might not work. It will save you time if they know where you need to start and what you need.

Are there any different global versions depending on the country region that the phone is sold? For instance, is the global version that is sold by Chinese e-shops the same as the one sold by Amazon (Europe) or official mi stores located in Europe?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Everything I read indicates there is only 1 Global version. It's a bit confusing though, supposedly the same phone in China is the Mi6x, and it's slightly different. Then there's the also slightly different one for India. But I don't think there are various 'Global' versions. At least I've never seen any indication of that.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AcostaJA:
actually there are 3 versions, China, Global and India as Mi A2, and 6X for China, bands are the same for Global and India, but India support extra features as QC4 (presumible soft- disabled on non-India Mi A2).

versions with 4/32GB 4/64GB and 6/128GB

Mi A2 available in Black, Blue and Gold, 6X available also in Red, Rose Gold.

Mi 6X supports extra features (disabled in Adndroid One firmware) as FM Radio, APT-X APTX-HD and LDAC Bluetooth audio (LDAC comes to all Mi A2 on Android 9 update, confirmed by beta testers, maybe APT-X too, don't count on FM radio unless it is officially exported to the US where will be mandatory to enable it)

Where do you find those beta news?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I don't think the question is 'How many versions are there?' I think it's are there more than 1 version of the one labeled 'Global'. Assuming that's true, then it doesn't matter where you buy it, if it says the 'Global' version, they will be the same.

iow; I don't think they are called 'Global India' and 'Global China' and 'Global - all the rest of the world', they are India, China and Global.

Hi, not really familiar with this community but I'd appreciate any help as I am really clueless of what my next step should be. It just happened one day I left it charging and when I picked it up it is kinda hot and still at 77% although I left it alone for long, should have been full batt by then. I took it out and when I came back home, tried to charge it and notices it won't go beyond 77. On the battery stats page it would say CHARGING then it would go FULL momentarily before charging again keeping it at 77. I tried factory reset but nothing happened. I only use the supplied charger but after the issue started I tries using other charger to see if the cable or charging brick might be broken but the problem still exists. This is my first Xiaomi phone and I'm starting to regret this purchase :(

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Kastenada:
Hey so i bought an australian h930ds. I have unlocked the bootloader using the workaround and sucsesfully flashed lineage os and later resurection remix. Both these roms had the same issue where it would detect an sd card on boot if it is in or if it isn't then would detect there wasnt one would detect a missing sim. When plugged in it just says no signal and removing it does not cause a no sim error and the same way the other way if there is no sim error putting one in it still has a no sim error. Every other part of the roms work and seeing as they are written for the single sim version of the v30 i assume that it is an issue only with the rom talking to the hardware.

I am thinking i could copy the drivers ( or android equivalent) from the stock rom over but i am unused to android issues and would like some help.

Copy your SD Card/OTG contents to your PC,use your phone to format,copy the files back to your SD Card.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
I would contact the card manufacturers and send them the cards to be check out. As sometimes you may have received a card from a bad batch these sort of things happen. Also take your device to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
try using extfat instead of fat32 if not done alredy.

your unit allocation size (block size) might also have been an issue. ive had cards fail in one device but work in an other because of this. played with block size till both were happy. but this was because of fat32 on 128 and up sd cards. extfat got rid of the issues altogether.

also it might have been ejected improperly during a write sequence a few times and accumulated corruption without you noticing it till one faithful day phone decided to access that part and failed miserably.

you could have probably recovered your files with proper disk check or different tools on a computer.

it is strange though that you have 2 failed now. might want to review how you handle and use these. sometimes we want to blame the devices when in fact its ourselves.

im not in your shoes but sometimes its good to reassess ourselves first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argon9898:
I've been having a Sharp Aquos XX for over a month and I noticed something funky.

Everytime I reboot into bootloader, either by using ADB or hardware keys, it doesn't seem to work at all as I got straight to the Sharp logo.

The same thing goes for recovery, but this time I got a short screen flashing up (for about half a second) with an Android logo having a red triangle and some Japanese text.

I have no clue what was having inside the phone as I got nothing trying to get into the /system folder or /proc or anything else in the root.

I was wondering if it is possible for the OEM to not implement bootloader and/or recovery OR hide them away so the user can't access them?

BTW this phone is filled with Japanese bloatware, be careful when you want to buy it.
