Trying to hide root on an Android stick... Please help!!!

by ThaKarra

Hi all,

I purchased an Android stick a few weeks ago, H96 PRO H3 S905X.

The whole purpose of purchasing it was so I could install Netflix and a bunch of other LEGAL streaming apps. But I cant seem to install anything on it because the device came "rooted". Now I'm not experienced with Android at all. I've looked up a bunch of tutorials and YouTube videos for ways to hide the root, or to stop the root being detected from apps. Everything I search seems to point to Magisk. I've tried and tried but I cant get it to work...

I installed the Magisk Manager and gave it access to Superuser. But whenever I go to download/install from within the app it gets too a certain point and fails with "unable to check signature."

I'm so lost and confused. I never wanted root, I just wanted a simple Android stick to install my apps on and watch TV. Are there any solutions for me?

I would return it and suggest getting a mibox. There are only a few devices you can run DRM enabled apps.

It's not about being rooted, it's about lacking support for proper level of Widevine DRM. You can't fake that - the manufacturer needs to implement the support.

You got an Android shitbox. Throw it away. You need to buy an AndroidTV device.

Download twrp for ur device. As you have Magisk Manager, download the latest magisk(ver).zip and install it. Better yet, use twrp to flash the downloaded magisk.zip.

Reboot, run magisk manager, then magisk hide.
