How to remove root detection from APK file (Smali modding in noob way)

Posted by AndnixSH
Note:  I made this tutorial since 2015, it was the noobest way to edit smalis without any knowledge. This is not for all apps, it basically gives you idea how very simple root detections can be removed in smalis. Advanced root detection can be in libs too and may be harder to bypass. I will not cover that
This was the noob way to edit smalis without any knowledge

How to remove root detection from the APK file:
1. Download any APK tool of your choice

2. Install Notepad++ or other text editors that support searching through all files

3. Decompile an APK file

4. Open Notepad++, click on "Search" -> "Find in files..."


5. Go to the path where the APK has been decompiled, and choose "smali". Click "OK"


6. Search the following keywords and click "Search"

Superuser
Supersu
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/data/local
/data/local/bin
/data/local/xbin
/sbin
/system/bin
/system/sd/xbin
/system/xbin
/system/bin/failsafe
/vendor/bin
/su


 

7. You will see the result. Double click on line to open up the choosen smali file.


8. Modify the string to whatever you want. Example: "com.donotdetectme", "imnotrooted" and so on.


9. Open the APK tool, select the APK and recompile + resign the APK file

VMOS Pro was protected so I wasn’t able to modify/crack APK. Instead, I made a custom ROM as a zip file for VMOS Pro that includes permanent root and Xposed, all done on my Android phone because zipping on Windows or Linux caused corruption on the ROM file. You don’t need to use modded APK at all YOU CANNOT INSTALL ANY OTHER ROMS SUCH AS SAMSUNG, HUAWEI, ETC THAT ARE NOT MADE FOR VMOS. VMOS ROM IMPORTING IS FOR VMOS ROM ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT BE DUMB! FOR EMULATOR USERS: DO NOT TRY TO RUN VMOS IN EMULATORS, ALL VM APPS ARE NEVER SUPPORTED AND WILL SUBJECT TO CRASH. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DUMB WAY TO DO IT. INSTEAD, INSTALL OTHER EMULATORS LISTED HERE: https://www.andnixsh.com/2018/10/free-android-emulator-collections.html Tested on VMOS Pro 2.9.7 on Android 11 Download VMOS Pro app English and Chinese version has been combined into one APK, so you will get same version if you downloaded from EN or CN website Global (EN) website: https://www.vmos.com/ Chinese website: http://www.vmos.c
