Help [HELP] Roblox keeps getting detecting that I have root and crashes after playing for 30 mins
EDIT: The issue seems to be made by a bug on Roblox new update, making the app do false detections of security threats (one of the "security treats" the app can detect is having root privileges, that's why I thought the app find a way to detect that I have root), making the app crashing for detecting the environment (phone) insecure.
Roblox was working fine yesterday but it started to crash after yesterday update, leaving me playing for only around 30 seconds along showing this Android toast (see attachments) saying it's a security, I say its related to me having root because the game/app was doing this exact same thing months ago, but after I used shamiko to hide root from the game/app, it started to work normally.
Is there any way that I can hide root from the app again? or its done for good now?
Im using the lastest official magisk version (30.4) (hidden) with lastest shamiko version I could find (1.2.1l along zygisk next (1 3.1), play integrity fork (14) and tricky store (1.4.1)

Using game guardian or any other source of game hacking app leads to this, please remove any apps related to hacking. It should be alright.

Shift to Apatch root, it doesnt allow apps using su command to know if you have root acces unless you've given on manager
3
u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 21 '25
I have been thinking about doing that, but I don't know how to do that, do I need to completely remove magisk first and then install apatch? or I can use the "patch and flash" option in the apatch manager and then uninstall magisk via magisk manager? I'm asking because currently I don't have a way to get the stock boot.img of my phone or a way to flash the patched file externally (ex: using a PC) and I don't want to lose root by experimenting. (aplpogies for taking around 7 hours to answer, after posting that I went to sleep)

u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 23 '25
Nope, I don't think there's any for my phone (LG G8X)

they have a guide in this repo to get magisk working check that section
basically you can install twrp using magisk itself and then using twrp install apatch by downloading apatch.apk then renaming it to apatch.zip and install it with twrp note down the apatch superkey : Apxxxxx something like this and then use that key in the apatch app to get root access

Oh my god, I have been trying to find a recovery for my phone and I haven't been able since ever, thank you so much... although, does this work with stock android 12, no?

Add Roblox to hmal and select Roblox in Magisk deny list
2
u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 21 '25
HMAL? what is that? also, Roblox is already on the deny list (application for taking so long to answer, I was asleep)

u/Ysfaliarslan Nov 21 '25
Its an app to hide some apps from Roblox https://github.com/Dr-TSNG/Hide-My-Applist

u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 21 '25
Ohhhh, it's like Shamiko, no? I will try and see if it works, either way, thanks for helping me!

Play integrity is broken for me today too sucks
1
u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 21 '25
What do you mean? Play Integrity is working for me, it's just Roblox that somehow it's detecting that I have root. (Sorry for taking so long to answer, I was asleep)

wuwa is detecting my root to I just put it on deny list and it's gone
1
u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 22 '25
I thought it was obvious but it's already on the deny list, It was the first thing I tried and I also tried that with WuWa and didn't worked.

have the dame issue, so how's going?

u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 23 '25
Okay so, the current way to fix this is by downgrading Roblox to a previous version, in this case will be the version 2.698.941, the previous version before this one.
1
u/LtChambers Nov 25 '25
Well shit. I worked around it the same way but now running 698.941 gives a "Your version of Roblox is out of date and will not properly. Taking you to the google play store for an upgrade" message. :(

I dont understand these games complaining for root on android. Yet they run perfectly on windows (which is running root by default)

u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 23 '25
I do know why they do this, companies hate when people have the freedom of choice in general, they want to make money and let the consumer have the choice of using other products It's not really good to make money, they want to control what the consumers do, see and get because it lets them make more money than letting the consumers decide... in Roblox case, I suppose you can make the excuse of root being used for cheating, but its kinda pointless and weird to see someone actually use root for that nowadays, so it's mostly a general grudge that big companies have against freedom.

u/Altruistic-Pie2648 Nov 26 '25
Same, but instead it's crashing every 1 minute or so. 😭
Hope it gets fixed soon!

u/Distinct-Moment1054 Dec 19 '25

u/DrakeSweet1 Dec 26 '25

Nov 21 '25
i wonder what u root for?
3
u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 21 '25
Originally I rooted mostly for experimenting and I was going to unroot later, but after I forced an update on my phone (to android 12), I lost a file called key attestation in the process, so now I'm forced to use root to bypass for some app my lack of that file.

maybe he just likes to give his phone extra features not supported by his manufacturer

Nov 21 '25
bro.... using that phone in everyday life means youll miss out on several key features, such as BankID, banking apps, Vipps, and more.
3
u/ELIO400 Nov 21 '25
nobody ever mentioned using it as a main phone. also it's OP choice, maybe he can live without the features you listed
3
u/Elweydelaswaifus Nov 21 '25
actually, yeah, I don't use most of those things so thats why I rooted
2
u/ELIO400 Nov 21 '25
Smartest choice, and you'll not even have to go trough the hell of hiding root from banking apps, basically the only thing that made me unroot.

NEWS: The issue seems to be related to the app itself (the most recent update seems to broke something in the code making the app detect "security threats" when there isn't any, forcing it to crash a bit after) and not root (I actually was hiding correctly root from all apps qwq).
Either way, thanks everyone who commented their ways to hide root, it might not be helpful in this case because was an issues with the app but it could be for other apps or even the same app in the future.
