Comparison of Different Android Root

As seen below, objection’s root-detection bypass command didn’t provide a pleasing result, as it only passed 5 out of 11 checks.

One of the features of Magisk is Magisk Hide, which can be used to bypass root-detection and system integrity checks.

Since Magisk v20.4, Magisk Hide is disabled by default. To enable this feature, open Magisk Manager, click Settings from the sidebar, toggle ON the Magisk Hide option, and restart the app.

Take note that Magisk Hide and Frida do not work well together. To use one of them, the other one must be disabled first.

Bypassing an app’s root-detection mechanism is as simple as adding the app to the Hide list (just like in RootCloak).

After adding RootBeer Sample to Magisk Hide, the result was a near-perfect score, with 10 out of 11 checks passed.

Looking back at the result of using Magisk Hide, only the first check (Root Management Apps) failed. This was because one of the checks used by RootBeer library is to look for the presence of root management apps, such as Magisk Manager (com.topjohnwu.magisk).

Since Magisk v20.1, a new feature was introduced that could repackage Magisk Manager with a random package and app names. To use this feature, click the Settings option from the sidebar, click the Hide Magisk Manager option, and select Magisk Manager’s new app name.
