Reverted to magisk 17.1 just to be on the safe side, I've got unbanned after 24 hours as well (second time) my streaks were all there sill

I'm running aospextended pie rom
[Xposed Framework Modules] jacobyo7:
As I said, the only solution for me when I got banned with SnapTools was to factory reset my phone. After that, I could use Snapchat with magisk + xposed with no issues (without reinstalling the 3rd party module of course)

Wish you guys the best luck with all this mess
[Xposed Framework Modules] demonoidmaster:
Storage perms i can understand, but a permission giving an app access to scanning installed apps WITHOUT the users knowledge is spyware

Also i understand your concerns and having told me about not talking of LP, thank you for the friendly advice
[Xposed Framework Modules] Prattham:
To all those people who got banned

Were you using magisk v18? Magisk hide? Magisk hide for snapchat?

And were you using xprivacy?

Please report back
[Xposed Framework Modules] demonoidmaster:
I'm unbanned since 2 days, 3 if you count today, magisk 18 with the latest manager, xprivacy (get packages, get activity, analytics, tracking are denied), have done what someone else said about App Ops and deny scan for packages, also put SC in magiskhide, no issue so far
[Xposed Framework Modules] dieusev:
What is TaiChi? Any link?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Juergen1337:
Are you using the latest SC version? Got banned with everything u did except App Ops.
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
I got banned 3 days ago for 12 hours. I removed xposed completely, renamed my snapfreedom folder, updated Snapchat to latest official, used AppOps to deny installed packages. I haven't been banned since. I used latest Magisk and SF with SC 10.45.50 when I got banned

I haven't reinstalled xposed or snapfreedom yet. Too risky
[Xposed Framework Modules] demonoidmaster:
10.45.5.0
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lola22i:
You're using Virtual xposed ? Taichi ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Trey n:
No I'm not I'm xopsedless ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lola22i:
How ?

The only reason why im not moving to pie is xposed ..
[Xposed Framework Modules] Trey n:
I wiped data and I upgraded to pie from havoc os so I don't get banned again and to test pie for the s5 lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
Ah, but see that's the thing. That storage permission is all they need to declare in order to read.. What's on your internal and external storage. Sneaky right? They do declare all used permissions (cannot think of where right now) but it's not in an obvious place. I mean realistically, most apps do this for analytical purposes (at the very least) to display personalized ads. SC will claim it's for detecting third party apps and, if given the permission they use it. Deny it on your built in app manager and that shuts down anything related to storage like uploading pics from your gallery to the memories part of SC. It's how they get you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lola22i:
Lol i thought you're using the module on pie ??
[Xposed Framework Modules] mantazzo:
Aaand ironically I also got banned now. 12 hours, so not so much. For the moment, I uninstalled module only, will see what happens next.

I'm on basic LOS root since Magisk doesn't work on this build, so no SafetyNet or anything. If that still bans me, I guess I'll just do a fresh reinstall - it's about time I did one anyway.

..it's like the Snapchat Devs are watching this topic...
[Xposed Framework Modules] demonoidmaster:
Yeah i got locked too, dunno if it's just like the article says that after an unlock you can still get login problems, updated Snapfreedom but at this point idk if it'll even make a difference, think we should just give up

One way i think we could have the snapchat app stop doing what it does would be if someone finds a way to see exactly what the app tries to do and if it's trying to like pull some kind of scan list from their servers or maybe they update a list serverside and the app just uses it to scan internal storage?

I don't understand why the hell snap inc is so hell bent on making sure you can't use snapchat if you're running xposed, rooted, apps it dislikes etc
[Xposed Framework Modules] zaidshb:
So after the ban has been left, I installed TaiChi with XPL and banned SC from getting apps list. I've installed SF 2.3 with corresponding SC version.

Will wait and see what happens and will report back here. I'm on pie
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
Where do you get TaiChi from and what exactly does it do?
[Xposed Framework Modules] CarteNoir:
I think it repackages apps with their Xposed module hooks built in, so you basically have an app-level Xposed that works without root. This lets it work on Pie. Only works with very specific apps/modules though and it's pretty finicky. Here's a link: https://virtualxposed.com/tai-chi/

It's by the same dude that made Virtual Xposed but instead of the app running in a virtual environment, it's actually installed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Juergen1337:
Are u still unbanned?
[Xposed Framework Modules] dieusev:
My 3rd ban ended yesterday evening. I have disabled Xposed and logged back into Snapchat at that time. I still have Xposed disabled and no ban so far.

Will keep Xposed disabled for a few days to "confirm" that Snapchat bans if you have Xposed installed.
[Xposed Framework Modules] zaidshb:
Got banned 48 hrs.

That's it for me folks, I will stop using SF till this wave finishes or maybe will never use it again.
[Xposed Framework Modules] matisek2:
i just got 48h ban message, after i uninstalled SF and update SC on google play store... what they now found? :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] grotesque02:
I'm banned too, after delete snapfreedom and update snapchat from store. Only xposed for other module.

Next ban I will delete snapchat and give bad review on store
[Xposed Framework Modules] jacobyo7:
Yes, I passed under the radar. I think it's because I readed here peoples were getting banned, so I uninstalled SnapFreedom and every associated folder before opening the snapchat app (it was not running in the background at this momment). I rebooted, updated snap on the play store to the latest version and then, with a "clean phone" (no SnapFreedom but still xposed ans magisk) I opened snapchat.
[Xposed Framework Modules] the-blind-bandit:
In that case, it mush be some leftover files from SF or Snapchat that are preventing us from logging in, so everyone try and find them and delete them ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ChanceGPM:
I got banned again after uninstalling this module, every folder and every single file from Snapfreedom. I guess I will stop using Snapchat until I stop using Xposed or I do a factory reset as I don't want permanent bann :/
[Xposed Framework Modules] maumaus:
If your device is 'clean' from third-party... Complain on Twitter or by email.

They may say it may be root or it may be Xposed but those aren't the direct problems. But I can't find it in the terms it isn't aloud...

Only apps/tweaks/plugins that directly are compromising Snapchat (or its safety) aren't aloud if I read it correctly.

I just wish there was a log which stated what exactly is the problem (an app, a file... etc) instead of an app that checks some prefixt parameters which could be faulty.

FYI I have xposed and root, but I have official rom which never had a snapchat-tool on it and I still got suspended...
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
Xposed and root both fall under comprising Snapchat. ANYTHING used to edit anything on SC means compromising. I personally don't get it but big companies like that are morons. Look at everything Verizon touches. Like Tumblr lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] maumaus:
I don't agree... It 'can' be used to compromise. Itself doesn't compromise it necessarily. It always needs an extra part to compromise. And those that say they don't allow.

In that case they should block everyone with a sceencapture app or without an antivirus app. That can been seen as compromising too....

Maybe I'm giving this a positive spin in my favor. But I think it's unfair.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Trey n:
I don't have xposed just magisk 17.1 on aospextended pie and still got banned for the third time!

I just uninstalled snap and gonna wait a few days...

Ugh I don't get why they have to be so strict! It's ridiculous!
[Xposed Framework Modules] jacobyo7:
You have two solutions :

Factory Reset

or

Stop using Snapchat

Thing you must NOT do : get suspended, delete SnapFreedom module and all folders associated with it and log back in. If you do so, you WILL get suspended again ! Even if you remove xposed completly, the same result will occur.

Don't try to bypass it, hundreds of peoples tried every single possibilities back in the SnapTools days, but the conclusion was : there is nothing to do but

Factory Reset

or

Stop using Snapchat

(if you chose to factory reset you can reinstall xposed and magisk after, but not the 3rd party module) :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] maumaus:
IF they won't check that too of course...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Trey n:
3 days ago I wiped my data partition and today I got banned again with no xposed just magisk, should I wipe my internal storage as well? (I don't really want to)
[Xposed Framework Modules] jacobyo7:
Yes, copy your important files on a computer then go to

Android Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset > Check "Erase internal storage" and click the "RESET PHONE" button

Don't forget to copy all your photo/music/importent data on a computer/usb/whatever before doing this manipulation,

I am not responsible of any data loss

This is the only way it worked for me, I never tried to reset with TWRP, it might work too.
[Xposed Framework Modules] KaMyKaSii:
You pass the safetynet check?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Trey n:
i feel like a complete idiot..... i found the snapfreedom folder on my internal storage and it was empty! ugh!!!

i reformated my phone now to restore all my apps with titanium which are on my sdcard ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
There is no need to factory reset. Snapchat doesn't magically install a backdoor and lurk on your phone ready to pounce at the chance to ban you lol. They have your phone id, email, and username stored. You're blacklisted. It's that simple. You should think before posting nonsense please. Back in the snaptool's day, you mean earlier this year? Wow. Spreading false info doesn't do the community any good at all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jacobyo7:
Factory reseting change your device ID (and maybe other stuff ?). Snapchat use your device ID to blacklist you. Everyone who tried to just delete the 3rd party module and all the associated folder were banned again a couples days later. It is not non-sense or false information, it is a fact. The only (known) way to break the ban cycle is to factory reset or stop using snapchat. Try it yourself ;)

And yes for SnapTools I mean earlier this year. I followed their discord closely, and nobody ever found a solution to bypass the ban (even after 3rd party module removal) except for the two solution I proposed :)

And keep in mind the ban come in waves, so you can think you found a way to bypass the ban system, but in fact the actual ban wave is just over and sooner or later they will catch you like everyone else in a new ban wave.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Trey n:
No I have a custom ROM aospextended pie
[Xposed Framework Modules] scoopspoof:
Magisk + Xposed

SC 10.44

SF 2.2

Xprivacy - Use analytics, tracking

Works perfectly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] demonoidmaster:
Factory reset doesn't change your phones id
[Xposed Framework Modules] Juergen1337:
Did a clean wipe and now running Android pie with Magisk passing Safetynet. No bans since 3 days for me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] grotesque02:
I can't no more login after the "24 hours" ban (no third part app for snapchat as they says, xposed disabled), so delete app and give bad review on store because what they want from me this snaps*it team?

Bye bye, and all banned must be do it
[Xposed Framework Modules] the-blind-bandit:
Using a nuke to kill a bug isn't a solution! If a factory reset allows SC to work again it's probably because it deletes a file that tells SC you shouldn't be able to login somewhere (possibly hidden) on your device, we just need to find it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
I only got the initial 12 HR ban. Still use Snapchat and Magisk but don't use any snapfreedom or xposed anymore and no ban in a week
[Xposed Framework Modules] jacobyo7:
Yes it does

Do you need more links ?

Do a 5 seconde google search please, device id is generated when you set up the device. You can experience it yourself, use an app to know your device id, factory reset and look at your device id again, it is not the same.

I don't say it is impossible, but you are not the first who try this, yet nobody seems to have succeeded :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] demonoidmaster:
Idk if anyone else knows but snapchat makes a random numbered/named file in /sdcard/Downloads (could or could not be related to that stuff), deleting it doesn't change anything as it gets generated upon app open, that's the only sc related file i know of, don't know if there are more

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

A full device format isn't needed, you don't need to nuke your entire device just to do that
[Xposed Framework Modules] the-blind-bandit:
Those random files have always infuriated me ? I had not idea they were caused by SC, thanks for telling me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] demonoidmaster:
It's just one file, blank file with no filetype extension
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
You can change your device id without resetting. It's extremely simple. Telling people to reset their phone is just completely unnecessary. Do you remodel your house when it gets dirty? Same concept.
[Xposed Framework Modules] the-blind-bandit:
I'm easily annoyed by things that aren't meant to be in my downloads folder, I'm sure it's only me. Almost any other folder and I wouldn't mind.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jacobyo7:
What do you don't understand? device ID is just an exemple of one of the multiple things snapchat use to flag your account and your phone. I used to follow the discord of SnapTools every day to see if someone would come with a solution to prevent the ban, but nobody ever found a solution. If you are ready to take the risk to get a permanent ban just because you don't want to take 2 hours of your life setting up your phone from scratch, do it, I don't care, I just want to help peoples who think their snapchat account is more important than 2 hours of their life. I have nothing else to say.
[Xposed Framework Modules] agraceful:
Oh I've only been developing on Android for years, i don't know anything. You followed a thread, good for you bud. I'm not banned, so.. Who's the real dummy? I think it's hysterical when someone over complicates things because they think they're smart. Have at it buddy boy, I'll keep laughing.
[Xposed Framework Modules] jindal.shreyansh:
If you say you were not banned, can you tell us what did you do to avoid it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] dieusev:
Passed a few days with Xposed disabled ( = Xposed module disabled in magisk, so phone passes safetynet), didn't get banned. Enabled Xposed yesterday and guess what? Just got banned :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
Yeah I have only received one ban and disabled xposed straight away. Haven't been banned since
[Xposed Framework Modules] mantazzo:
Seems like SC started detecting the proper usage of Xposed. I have fully uninstalled it and everything seems fine now. Still don't pass SafetyNet since I'm on LOS root (Magisk doesn't work proper), but it's interesting.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Trey n:
Dang that sucks

Xposed is awesome tho...

Maybe u can freeze snapchat and enable xposed then when you want snap then disable xposed and unfreeze it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Hanslau:
Manual saving still saves the wrong pictures? Videos still get corrupted and split into different files?

Will it be safe to use this if they're detecting xposed regardless?
[Xposed Framework Modules] jtrz:
I don't know, I haven't been banned yet as I'm still using SF.
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
What's your setup to use it? Blocking any Snapchat permission or anything?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Immortal Potato:
Every time I try to take a picture in Snapchat it'll crash
[Xposed Framework Modules] jtrz:
It's strange but I don't block anything.

I have the same problem, it occur randomly and is hard to find out. Try to disable sharing in master switch section.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Immortal Potato:
I figured out what it is. It is "Hook sharing" every time I enable it Snapchat starts to crash
[Xposed Framework Modules] ChanceGPM:
I wonder if you could use a very old version of Snapchat to avoid being banned? Just got banned for a week, I think I will quit Snapchat cause this just isn't worth the time
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
When exactly did this week ban start and what version of SF and SC did you use?
[Xposed Framework Modules] ChanceGPM:
Got banned minutes ago. I don't use SnapFreedom, I uninstalled it 2 weeks ago after first bann and removed all folders associated with it to avoid future bann. Since then I've been banned multiple times. When I used SnapFreedom I used SnapFreedom 2.3 with Snapchat 10.47.5.0.
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
Dayum, did you keep exposed running? That's what seems to be the common denominator
[Xposed Framework Modules] Prattham:
Hook sharing makes SC force close and sharing from gallery doesn't work either when hook is enabled
[Xposed Framework Modules] ChanceGPM:
Yes I have Xposed installed, but not everyone gets banned that has Xposed. Maybe they keep banning people who've been banned before and has Xposed running?
[Xposed Framework Modules] KaMyKaSii:
I remember when I still had a device with Android 4.2.2 (xposed installed) and when I opened the Snapchat it CRASHES ALL MY SYSTEM. I had no module related to Snapchat and even then its devs used some Android vulnerability to take my device to panic. Snapchat devs hate Xposed and they're right, the modules may end up cheating out all the security that Snapchat is proud to have. I'm using SnapFreedom through TaiChi and so far I have not been banned, but it's probably just a matter of time. As Chainfire and topjohnwu have already said (in their projects Suhide and Magisk Hide respectively) this is a cat-and-mouse game. No open source software developer (such as rovo89 with Xposed or whatever) will spend so much time and resources forever looking for ways to hide their modifications knowing that on the other hand there are several engineers being paid very well to discover new ways to detect a system modified. This is extremely stressful. I do not doubt that topjohnwu will abandon the development of Magisk Hide in the near future, and there is no problem with that. We Android users will have at some point to accept that if we want to use a modified system, we will not be able to use some features or apps that value information security.
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
Anyone know with TaiChi, how.do I enable a module? I have SF installed, added Snapchat to TaiChi but in Modules I cannot enable any module, same for XPrivacy.

Do I need to install anything other than TaiChi apk to get it running ? Does it require any Magisk module or anything from Xposed itself?
[Xposed Framework Modules] KaMyKaSii:
Are you using the latest version of TaiChi (3.7.6)? And know that the TaiChi developer needs to add support for each module and for each version manually, it's not something out-of-the-box. If you want support for a new module, you need to ask the TaiChi developer. And unfortunately the latest version of TaiChi is not working properly with SnapFreedom. I have reported the problem and hope it will be resolved soon
[Xposed Framework Modules] compunerd3:
Thanks dude, yeah I'm using the latest version, didn't realise support would be lost in a new version thanks for the heads up [emoji846]

[Xposed Framework Modules] ilkaayy:
After updating to the lastest version of snapfreedom, I installed snapchat 10.47.5.0 (1860).

I have a juicy video on one of my friends story that I'd like to save. I saved it, but when i looked back it was a black screen with his text over the video only without sound. How do I fix this?

EDIT:

-Saving normal video's result in: Video plays for 0,25seconds and then closes

-Saving video's with caption: Video is playing the full snap length with black backtground and only the caption visible.

How i can hide snapfreedom from Snapchat security
[Xposed Framework Modules] Santi3598:
Awesome! This reminded me of the good old days using Snapprefs.

I was about to install it when I realized Snapchat got an update, 10.41.6.0... If I uninstall Snapchat to install the older version I will have to log in again and due to being rooted it won't let me in. Magisk hide won't work due to Xposed, and I don't want to disable it just so I can log into SC. So I'm just gonna wait for an update.

Anyways great job!
[Xposed Framework Modules] PoochyX:
Dude your a rooted user There's a xposed module that let's you install older versions of apps on newer versions so you wouldn't have to worry about Uninstalling Snapchat....
[Xposed Framework Modules] grotesque02:
Just disable xposed systemless module, reboot and login, then enable again systemless xposed, reboot, install/enable snapfreedom and reboot.

Al work perfect.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Santi3598:
Oh I didn't know that! Would you mind sharing the name of the module? Thanks in advance.
[Xposed Framework Modules] PoochyX:
Some people don't have systemless xposed cause it doesn't install on all custom roms, the alternative I suggested works for for people that have xposed installed to the system
[Xposed Framework Modules] Santi3598:
I've just realized you can just download the apk of the version you want, install it over the one you have already installed and it will work right away... It was simpler than I thought it would be
