[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
can confirm I was just banned on my test account using magisk 18.0 wish magisk hide ticked but not snapchat ticked. going to down grade to 17.3 after my account unlocks tomorrow and see what happens. I'm out of theories if someone else wants to chime in besides a full wipe and slowly add things to see what gets me banned. I had LP uninstalled the whole time...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dumbasPL:
I have 18.1 on my test phone and an account that had 7day ban in past, still fine after three days, magisk hide ticked in setting but not in app list. Also, after installing magisk and booting I quickly force stopped Snapchat and repackaged magisk. I will wait 2 more days and if no ban I will reinstall but no repackage this time, will see.

PS. my main account is still going strong and I'm snapping back and forth with the other phone every day.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
I guess I haven't tried that yet like you mentioned earlier. but you did wipe everything prior to doing this correct? fresh os and everything?

so snapchat install - login - install magisk - reboot - kill snapchat - repackage - enable magisk hide enabled - should be good?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
I didn't get banned today so it is working perfectly fine for me now since I didn't get a delayed ban. Thanks everyone for helping lol
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] alb3rtt:
How many days and what version of magisk? I just got un-locked from snapchat after 2 days and don't want to risk another ban.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
you went back to 17.3 then for the time being correct?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Yup until probably the next magisk update because people are saying they are fixing it already in the Canary builds

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

I'm on magisk 17.3 but it has been 2 days and I don't think I'll get another ban because normally I get banned the day after I log into my account but I'll see if I have nay problems at all
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
and just to make sure... and for everyone else curious... all you had enabled is magisk hide in settings but not actually have snapchat ticked in the magisk hide application list correct?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Yup
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RJASSI21:
Pretty sure I ran SC without magisk installed and still got banned. On my device my safetynet checks fail if I don't have magisk installed. One thing I found odd though is a little while after having the safetynet checks pass they changed to false and I couldn't login to Snapchat. Whatever Snapchat is using to detect alterations to our systems is something good for them but I wish they did not have the ability to do this and just restricted it to installations of 3rd party Snapchat apps that hook or link with the app itself not a system wide function like magisk.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
I think I jinxed myself because I got banned again. I might just wipe my phone because maybe after installing magisk 18.1 left some files that still makes me get banned or something like that
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
yep. I was just banned again as well for two days....

a full wipe is the only thing I have yet to do and that's what [MENTION=9738344]dumbasPL[/MENTION] had to do in order to get his to work. like I said earlier I was banned as well without having magisk installed at all so I'm going to full wipe and test again because obviously snapchat is detecting something on another level to see that our phones are modified.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dumbasPL:
Ok, this is just getting wierder and wierder. On my second phone I have latest version of SC and magisk 18.1 and I did not get banned for over a week WTF Snapchat.

Here is what I did:

- reinstalled rom when I switched to new phone(quite a while back)

- installed Snapchat

- logged in on my second account (witch has been banned in the past)

- flashed magisk

- after boot quickly force stopped Snapchat

- repackaged magisk with random name(in settings)

- checked root using total commander (all fine)

- stared using Snapchat and snapping every day back and forth with my main account

7 days pass and I'm still fine.

Also I had magisk hide ticked in settings but not for SC.

I'll wait few more days and format the phone and try the same but without the repackage.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] alb3rtt:
Okay i'm actually fed up with snapchat at this point. I'm on 17.3, magiskhide enabled and snapchat ticked, safetyness passes. Logged in for literally 2 minutes yesterday after a 48 hour lock and then uninstalled snapchat completely. Go to login today and i'm locked again.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
I think this is the golden ticket. going to try this today
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Trey n:
ive been having the same issue since december, today i just got unbanned again after a week and lost all my streaks cuz of it...

should i uninstall LP and revert to the dreaded stock rom (touchwiz 6.0.1? i hate it :/

should i log out after each use?

i dont want to get banned again. thanks guys!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
The reason is because you might have been running magisk 18 or 18.1. You have to install magisk 17.3 I believe to stop it from happening. However I don't think you are able to fix it by just uninstalling magisk and installing 17.3. You possibly will be required to wipe your device and then install magisk again. I personally have just wiped my device and I'm seeing if I will be banned. I haven't been banned for 2 days so far so it seems promising for me
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] alb3rtt:
I made a dummy account, wiped my phone and installed magisk 17.3 on a clean install. It was banned after 48 hours so now I'm testing out a canary build. Might just be my setup but 17.3 did not solve it for me.

I have magisk hide enabled with the playstore, snapchat and play services ticked.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Hmm that is so weird. I'll see how I go after today and if I get banned again I'll try downgrading to an even older version. My old phone is using magisk 16 so if my phone somehow gets banned then maybe there is another problem causing all of this
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Trey n:
Ok did u wipe the internal storage as well? Or just data partition? And at the moment I've uninstall magisk.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
I personally used 'format data' in twrp but I'm not sure which one you are meant use lol so I don't know if you should listen to me. And somebody just said that wiping their device and installing magisk 17.3 didn't work for them either so I'm not sure if this will actually fix it for you. I only am assuming that it is magisk 18 or 18.1 causing these issues because no one in the thread has said that initially had the problem with 17 or below. Also if you say that you started having the problems in December, that would make sense because magisk 18 was released in December and you may have updated to it which is now causing the problems. But I am still not sure if it is actually magisk causing all these problems so I don't know if the problem will be fixed for you. I'm honestly getting desperate at this point and I am trying everything to fix this even if they have absolutely nothing in common. After I wiped my device, I stopped encrypting my phone just to see if that even does anything. I did that because my old phone which I never had any issues was never encrypted.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Trey n:
Lol ok perhaps I should just uninstall snap till this gets resolved to prevent another ban, but I'll reset my galaxy s5 yet again ?... Backed up every thing on SD card, perhaps I should reset and avoid installing magisk for now and see if my other account gets banned again...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dumbasPL:
Jus to clarify, internal storage is a folder on data partition. If you *format* the entire partition then you also remove internal storage. TWRP has an option to "wipe" the data without internal storage but this is not a true wipe since it just removes all files and folders from it except folder called media witch is where internal storage is. Also I would suggest trying out the trick I described in my previous post. I haven't been banned for over a week using it and magisk 18.1. Today I will reinstall os and do the same but without repackage, will see.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
I guess if I get banned again then I will try it out. I'm just finding it weird because my previous device never required me to do anything. In fact, I already had magisk installed long ago before I even started using snapchat and I never did anything to use it. I just installed it and started running it straight away. If I get banned however, I'll probably try what you did. Just a really dumb question, is your phone encrypted by any chance? I am just trying to figure out if there is any direct correlation between phones that have the problem and those that don't. It seems magisk is the obvious cause but somehow uninstalling it doesn't fix it so it must be leaving something which causes snapchat to detect something of the sort but obviously this doesn't affect everyone that is running magisk so I am just confused.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dumbasPL:
There are no dumb questions just dumb answers. My test phone is not but my main is. Also I don't believe that encryption has anything to do with it. Once filesystem is decrypted when you enter your password after boot then there is no difference using it than if it wasn't encrypted. I think there is a ways to tell by apps if it is but it's pointless imo. Encryption is there to prevent attacks outside of os like stealing data using recovery or removing screen locks. But once you have the key there is no difference.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Totone56:
Just for info : Found a fix on the forum for Google Pay.

Put Magisk in "Core Mode" (No modules support) and using Magisk Hide as usual.

It works on Magisk 18.1 for Google Pay, but also for Snapchat. Tried a few ROMs this week, it worked everytime i reinstalled the apps.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Trey n:
Ok so I wiped internal storage and system and skipped magisk install.. Maybe that will prevent future beans for me, I'm using havoc os pie on a g900f (galaxy s5) should i downgrade to oreo and root with supersu? im about to just delete snap cuz im sick of it lol, i could run it in android sdk :P haha
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Ok this time I'm sure that it is fixed for me because I haven't been banned for 3 days now. If you want to know what I did, I wiped my device with the 'format device' button in twrp. I then flashed magisk 17.3 and turned on magisk hide in the settings. I did not check snapchat in the magisk hide settings. If you have had problems with snapchat, a wipe may be needed because I was still getting banned after downgrading magisk versions.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Trey n:
Ok from my previous post, should I flash magisk 17.3 or should I wait a couple days before I root again?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
I think if you wiped your phone properly then you won't have any issues installing it straight away. I wiped my phone and immediately installed magisk right after that. I still don't know if my problems are fixed but before I wiped my device, my account was locked on the 3rd day and seeing that I wasn't banned again makes me think that it is actually fixed this time. When my main account is unbanned I will test it again and I'll tell you if I get banned or not
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Trey n:
ok thanks for all the help, i finally found a dedicated thread for this issue :) and another unrelated issue is that on my google fit app the distance was not calculating at all after the full wipe including internal storage its working., maybe because i didnt restore my data from my titanium backup like i usually do. idk, and should i restore all my apps again with titanium backup or just wait awhile till we figure snapchat out?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
update- I have gone 2 days without a ban from snapchat on my test account. and I'm even running magisk 18.1 (latest) on a custom rom on my Pixel 2. here's what I did:

-Full wipe from TWRP

-install rom

-install snapchat and login

-install magisk

-boot

-force close snapchat

-repackage magisk

-enable 'core only mode'

-use snapchat

been using consistently for two days. usually by now I'd be banned. I went off what another user said and enabled 'core only' mode in magisk which maybe helped? but I think the full wipe is what did the trick. I just hope when going from rom to rom.... this won't have to be done every time.

I also read somewhere that users were having issues while using custom kernels and snapchat. perhaps this is something we've over looked? this would be an effective method to detect device tampering as apps can see kernel information... and if it doesn't match the listed device then obviously something is tampered with. this being said I'm using a different aftermarket kernel this time around for testing. I know some kernels affect safetynet differently than others. but this is just a theory.

my main account unlocks Saturday. I will login to that and see what happens. hopefully nothing as I'm one ban away from permanently being banned... [emoji51]
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Trey n:
I wonder if somehow a logical will tell you what snapchat is reading on our phones internal storage ? I have no clue, I've installed magisk 17.3 and enabled core only mode and no ban, will uninstalling snapchat help after each use? To prevent this from happening?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] hassan_1000:
It's not about magisk hide. It's all about safety net. If your device fails safety net even if magisk hide is on, it will ban you from Snapchat. I have been banned so many times even up to a week!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Trey n:
me too and ive been banned for a week and just got unbanned 3 days ago and had to wipe my device clean including internal storage and currently unrooted... cuz i dont want to risk another ban and i flashed magisk 17.3 and it let me create a new test account which i deleted afterward. and uninstalled magisk again...
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
I haven't been banned for 4 days now so I am sure it is fixed for me. Also, not trying to demean anyone's method of fixing this issue but I think installing magisk 18/18.1 is all from chance. I actually had snapchat for a week with 18.1 where I didn't get banned a single time. But I wiped my phone again and installed 18.1 again. After 3 days I started getting the bans. In my opinion, I believe a method that has more chance of working is to install an older version of magisk such as 17.3. There hasn't been a single person that I've seen so far have any problems with magisk versions older than 18. I'm still not sure why some users have problems with it while others don't.

And to the person that says the kernel is the problem, I've been running stock kernel the whole time while I was getting banned.

Also, unless it has changed, is snapchat really banning just because safety net fails? I never failed a safety net test on 18.1 but I was banned still. On my old phone, I used to have xposed and we all know that safety net never passes with xposed installed. Yet I never got banned a single time with it. Maybe snapchat has changed because I was only using xposed until mid 2018.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dumbasPL:
Safety net and su binary is what we know Snapchat definitely checks. also we know that the su binary is checked only at login, but not sure about safety net. Magisk (at least the new ones) always successfully patches safety net so it always looks ok for apps(idk if you can even disable that) but the one thing it does not even if the app is checked is prevent other apps from seeing it on the app list(and apps can do that without anny additional permissions). Here is where the repackage with custom name comes in. There may be more thing that Snapchat checks but for now I don't know any.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Ok I just got banned again for 2 weeks. It's so weird that nothing happened for the first 5 days and suddenly I'm banned again. The only thing I think I changed was installing a custom kernel. But seeing how I was banned before without a custom kernel makes me think this isn't the problem. I seriously doubt this woukd be the cause of my problem but I enabled superuser access for appops. I didn't even use the app to change anything. I also installed game guardian on my phone but I don't think that should affect anything either. These are all apps I had on my old phone which never caused issues. I am so confused right now
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vampyre_masq:
Ok I really need to reiterate the benefits of the Magisk Canary updates when it comes to root hiding and Snapchat. As we have all discovered 18 and 18.1 has issues when it comes to Snapchat, I have been on Canary for a week now with no sign of been banned and there has been zero issues with root or using modules. Simple go into Magisk manager settings, change updates to custom and paste in this link https://bit.ly/2N8UVlq .
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
welp I have even more weird things happening now....I went to login to my main account and had to log out of my test account... at that point it wouldn't let me login to either account. kept giving me a 'could not connect to server. please try again' error. which I'm clearly connected. this just keeps getting more and more weird. I'm honestly debating going back to stock until a stable fix can be found.

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------

can you explain this a bit further. what is this actually doing?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vampyre_masq:
Canary is just what they call the Beta builds for the next version of Magisk, it's not the stable versions so there may be a chance things could break with different builds but to me it has been very stable and fixed the Magisk Hide issues.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Hey I'm also having that exact same issue. I can't login to any account even when unrooted. I am so confused on what is happening
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] alb3rtt:
I have the same issue too, I can make a new account but I cannot sign in from my device using an existing account.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Did you randomly log out to try to login to another account or were you banned and tried logging into another account? I want to test on my old phone if I can login to the account but its dead now
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] alb3rtt:
I was randomly logged out when I opened snapchat (no ban or lock) and could not login afterwards to any account.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
So i logged out of my test account and when i tried to log in to my main it wouldn't let me (server error) tried to relogin to my test account and same thing (server error). I am absolutely lost now, tried uninstalling magisk, wiped cahce, uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared play service data, even tried to restore a version of snapchat where i was logged in to my test account with Titanium Backup, and was immediately logged out upon opening snapchat. I am so lost now, snapchat has upped their game, wouldn't surprise me if they were reading this forum.

I have done what i didn't want to and have done a full wipe, gone back to stock Google firmware, and redownloaded snapchat. I was able to login right away with my main account.....

Not sure where to go from here.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
wtf.... inb4 permanent ban lol. But no joking wtf happened??? When was the last time you were banned? Or how long was the duration of your ban? I haven't tested making a new account but logging into my test accounts don't work either. Hopefully it is just something wrong with their servers but I can't find others having issues so is it somehow possible that we actually got permanently banned??? lol

---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM ----------

Damn if the full wipe fixed it for you I guess I got to wipe again. I'm not sure what they even changed which caused this to happen
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
Maybe try the full wipe and reinstall a custom os again, and then follow the steps i listed above?...give that a shot and see if you can login at least.

but maybe leave the kernel alone this time for kicks and gigs....even though you were on stock kernel at one point and still got banned.....

i'm not sure though, your guess is as good as mine, i'm hoping once a new Magsik update hits this will all be fixed. the person above me is having good luck on on Magisk Beta builds....maybe give that a whirl this time around,.

but ya i'm so confused that we're all being logged out all of the sudden now. They've probably come out with a new method to detect rooted devices.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Yeah after I was banned on 17.3 I wiped my phone so I could install the beta build from scratch. Hopefully this actually solves something lol. If it still doesn't, I'm probably going to try and live my life without root :(
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
well let us know how that goes. because that's currently what I'm doing... no root... and it sucks.

but ya try the beta build after a full wipe and see what happens....
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Well at least I can login to my non locked accounts now so that's a good thing. I'll tell you if I get banned. At least this time I have like 2 weeks to test on a test account so I dont get banned on my main again
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vampyre_masq:
Just a heads up the latest Canary build is having some issues (18115) it's works but has slowed my device down. I'd say give it a day and there will be a new build.

Update: 18116 just released and fixed the issue.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Yeah I realised that and I'm using 18114 because it is much quicker and it doesn't seem like there are any issues so far
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
anything ban so far?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] iMystic:
Nah nothing yet but I didn't get banned either until the 6th day or something so we'll see
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vampyre_masq:
Well I'm up to 10 days so far.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] harpin14789:
What version of the app are u using?

I'm using magisk canary 116 and have repacked magisk. But when I try to login in to Snapchat, I get your log in has temporarily failed message.

Have u had this issue?

Update: I turned on magisk hide in settings. Now I get the Snapchat can't connect to server error.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] djer34:
I would also like to know what magisk version you're on and have you repackaged/enabled hide?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] vampyre_masq:
I simply have the latest Canary Magisk manager and Magisk boot, I have used Magisk Hide and selected Google services, pay, play store and snapchat. I also scrambled the apk name more out of curiousity as it was working without it. Other than that there's nothing special, I don't use custom kernels except for tweak modules like NFS Injector and Google Dialer. Currently running OB14 room and everything is smooth sailing.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] azizLIGHT:
Been following this thread and wanted to ask if ya'll have been:

- disabled USB debugging in developer options

- removed any mock GPS in developer options

- clearing Magisk from recents before opening Snapchat

- clearing Snapchat's data/cache before opening it and login

- clearing data/cache for Play Store

- clearing data/cache for Play Services

- successfully login Snapchat before flashing Magisk. Or restoring a TiBu of an already-logged-in Snapchat, after Magisk

I would add those steps to dumbasPL's list of steps
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Trey n:
i am fine as well, i have been using magisk 17.3 and have not gotten another ban, it has been 11 days, (it would probably be a month ban since i already had a week ban....)
