How to Hide Root and Use Banking Apps with Magisk 27 and Shamiko
With the release of Magisk version 27, many users may face challenges in using banking apps due to root detection. However, by leveraging the power of the Shamiko module, you can easily bypass these issues and ensure your banking apps function as expected. This guide will walk you through the process of hiding root on your Android device using Magisk 27 and Shamiko.
1. Prepare Your Device
Before beginning, ensure your device meets the following prerequisites:
- Rooted Android Device: Your device should be rooted using Magisk version 27.
- Magisk Installed: Make sure Magisk is properly installed on your device.
2. Enable Zygisk in Magisk
Zygisk is an essential component that needs to be activated for Shamiko to work. Here’s how to enable it:
- Open the Magisk app on your device.
- Tap on the Settings icon.
- Scroll down and enable the Zygisk (Beta) option.
- You will be prompted to reboot your device. Do so to apply the changes.
3. Configure DenyList
To prevent certain apps from detecting root, you need to configure the DenyList in Magisk:
- In the Magisk app, go to Settings > Configure DenyList.
- Select the banking apps or any other apps you want to hide root from.
- Make sure the apps you’ve selected are checked in the DenyList.
Note: You do not need to enable the toggle for “Enforce DenyList” as Shamiko will handle this.
4. Install the Shamiko Module
Shamiko is a Zygisk module that allows you to hide the root, Zygisk, and any Zygisk modules from apps:
- Download the Shamiko module
- Open Magisk and go to Modules.
- Tap on Install from storage.
- Navigate to the Shamiko module’s zip file and select it.
- After installation, reboot your device.
5. Hide the Magisk App
Some banking apps detect the presence of the Magisk app itself, so it’s essential to hide it:
- Open the Magisk app and go to Settings.
- Select Hide the Magisk app.
- Choose a custom name for the app (e.g., “Settings”) and proceed with the hiding process.
- The Magisk app will reappear under the new name in your app drawer.
6. Final Reboot and Testing
To ensure everything is working smoothly:
- Reboot your device one last time.
- Open your banking app to test if it can now run without detecting root.
If everything is configured correctly, your banking app should work seamlessly without any root detection issues.
Conclusion
By following this guide, you can effectively hide root on your Android device using Magisk 27 and the Shamiko module. This method ensures that your banking apps and other sensitive applications operate without any root detection, providing you with both security and functionality.
