About Hide my Root

Want to limit who has root access on your phone/tablet?
Want to make it look as though your phone is not rooted?

Then Hide my Root is the app for you!

Hide my Root lets you temporarily hide the superuser binary and app so that no applications or users can get root access. You can even set a password so that only you can restore root access.

On some roms (usually rooted stock roms), Hide my Root will allow you to use Google Videos and similar apps on a rooted phone. On custom roms such as CyanogenMod, it will not allow you to use Google Videos and similar apps on a rooted phone.

How to use:

*(Optional) Set a password. You will be asked for this when you try to turn the password off or restore the superuser binary. The password will be stored safely so that even if the apps data is cleared, it will still be there.
*Hide the su binary. This will hide the superuser binary, so all requests for root access will fail until you restore it again.
*Uninstall the su app. This will uninstall the Superuser app. If you choose this option, you will have to regrant root access to all your apps after you restore it.
*Reinstall the su app. This will take you to Google Play to reinstall the Superuser app. This needs to be in place so that Hide my Root can get permission to restore the su binary properly.
*Restore the su binary. This puts the su binary back so that apps can get root access again. If you set a password, you will be asked for it when you try and do this.

The app needs root permission itself so that it can hide and restore the su binary and app, and can safely store your password.

My G Note2-LTE (N7105) is rooted but otherwise standard Samsung firmware. Sadly hiding su and uninstalling SuperSU (updates, but not the one installed in system) didn't stop the Barclays App from deciding the device was rooted. I'll still give the app four stars because it actually does what its meant to do and works fine.

Your app came to the rescue. I had acquired a lot of credit's with Appcasher and their newest update does not support rooted devices. I thought I had lost all these trial play credits but after installing your app I can use Appcasher again. It no longer sees my Stock Droid X2 as rooted. THANK YOU!!!

I'm using the Samsung SmartHome app which says it can't run for security reasons on rooted devices even when I denied him root access. But with this app, when I "hide" root, it works again ! Thanks a lot ! PS - If you want to use apps that are needing root, you must restore it through the app

Should have directly used RootCloak on Xposed. There app directly says no su binary found.

Didnt work. I habe supersu installed, verified the root but it says it csnt find the binary

This app asks us to set the password first and if you hide the root, then doesn't restore even if you enter correct password. Uninstall first, reinstall, restore your root and Uninstall again. This helped me. The most useless app.

it actually works,,, there were apps or games that i could not open because my phone was rooted, the i hid my su binary, then i can play those games,, amazing

I have an S5 from Verizon. This app did remove my binary and restored it. I was able to reinstall the su app and regain permissions. However, it didn't allow me to use the android app for android payments with PayPal app. Which is the only reason I wanted to hide root. So basically it didn't break or fix anything.

Sadly only needed this for one app, and that isn't supported.

I am using this app to bypass banking app restrictions. It worked for the app called "Record Bank Mobile" BUT NOT for this one "BANCONTACT". Please come up with a solution for "Bancontact". It would be definitely 5 STARS if this app will work.

It doesn't work for barclays mobile banking for some reason. Straight away it said my phone was rooted. I tried the barclays app again and it open up the app which is great. But when I try to register my details it comes up with a triangle. Not the apps fault that's why I give 3 stars and not 1. Maybe I need to register on uprooted device then root then try this app

How to: when you open anything that detects you have root or (needs root). kill that app. You can either: 1. 'restart' aka; 'power off then power back on' your device'. Or 2. Manually go into your device settings and 'end task' the offending app. (This varies by phone/android operating system version) Then, when your device starts, first open 'Hide My Root' and click the 'hide root' button (Or: click the 'restore root' button), then start the offending app; it will now work.

Running CyanogenMod 10.1.3-i9300 stable on my S3 and both Barclays and Barclaycard's apps won't work. Shame, as I'd have paid for the ad-free version of this app had it succeeded.

This app asks us to set the password first and if you hide the root, then doesn't restore even if you enter correct password. Uninstall first, reinstall, restore your root and Uninstall again. This helped me. The most Waste app.

Moto X Pure Edition 6.0 Systemless Root. Used this app to try to hide root and not only did it not work, but it threw my device into a bootloop. :|

Doesn't work and even if it did it wont let you select apps to hide root from EDIT: no update in 8 months. Seriously?

Sometimes it can break your root as warned and you may need to close and open it multiple times before it works, but it works.

And screwed up my root completely. Got to re root my device....

Didn't work with that app on my Oneplus One. Maybe because it detects the ROM? I'm on CM, maybe add to hide ROM or fool it to think it's stock ROM ?

Works great! Helps me run apps that don't like root; no issues!

O70%
by O####:

This does work. I can use a banking app with the su binary hidden. It also deceives a root checker. One addition that could be made though is an indication of whether the root is hidden or not. Even though you get a message to say the root has been hidden, when you go back in to the app it does not say. So, if you forget whether you are hidden or not, you have to hide/unhide until you realise.

Will not work with default CyanogenMod 12.1 super user binaries. Install SuperSu from the Playstore and open SuperSU settings and tell it to ignore CM's superuser preferences. Then go into Hide My Root and hide the SuperSU binaries. Works like a charm with HBO Now.

R70%
by R####:

Seems to hide only one su file (e.g. if I have both /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su it only hides the first). In addition, restore does not work correctly and different su version is restored. The original I had included a whitelist of allowed callers. The "restored" version allowed anybody in the world to acquire root access! In short, this app has REALLY BAD SECURITY issues.
