Not detected rooted device.

[apoorvmishra94]

I am checking in Android If device is rooted or not with this below code-

async checkDeviceSecurity() { try { const rootStatus = await DeviceSecurityDetect.isJailBreakOrRooted(); console.log("The device is | rootStatus: "+JSON.stringify(rootStatus)); console.log(The device is | Root/Jailbreak status: ${rootStatus.value ? 'Yes' : 'No'}`);

const pinStatus = await DeviceSecurityDetect.pinCheck();
console.log(`The device is | Secure lock enabled: ${pinStatus.value ? 'Yes' : 'No'}`);

} catch (error) {
console.error('The device is | Error checking device security:', error);
}
}`

And I am checking in a device which is rooted and I am able to detect the same device as rooted with other shell script.

but when I am using this plugin it returns device is not rooted.

Please help.

Even I am using the example-app which is available in this plugin. And I am getting same issue with example-app as well.

I can check my emulator is a rooted device.

adb -s emulator-5554 shell
su
whoami

with these above command I can check my device is rooted.

but in the example-app, I am getting, device is secure.

In the attached screenshot, We can see device is rooted

Do we have any update on this ?

Thanks for checking in. This item is in our development queue; we don’t have an update yet.

Do we have any update on this, or an ETA @ryaa

Thanks for checking in. No committed ETA yet, but it’s on our short-term backlog. We’re tentatively aiming for the next 1–2 weeks, depending on maintainer availability. We’ll post updates here as soon as we have them.

We haven’t been able to reproduce this yet.

Could you please try to reproduce with the example-app in this repo (instructions are in the README) and share the details below? This will help us isolate whether the problem is in the plugin or in app-specific setup.

We will also need the details:

• Platform & OS: Android version, security patch level.
• Device & ROM: model (e.g., Pixel 7, Samsung S23), OEM skin/ROM (MIUI/One UI/LineageOS).
• Root/JB method: exact tool & version (e.g., Magisk vXX, Zygisk on/off; DenyList enabled? modules like “Hide Props”, “SafetyNet/Play Integrity Fix”? Xposed/LSPosed present?); or iOS jailbreak (unc0ver/checkra1n etc.).
• Logs: adb logcat from app launch through the call to isJailBreakOrRooted() and pinCheck()

Without a reliable reproduction details, it is unlikely we will be able to resolve the issue, leading to it being closed.

Hi @ryaa ,

As I don't have any rooted devices so I am testing in simulator and I tried with example-app as well which is inside plugin itself. But the result is same like plugin is not detected simulator as rooted device.

So I go through your plugin code as well and found some checks are missing in the 'isDeviceRooted' method.

So let me know why are you not checking these below settings for rooted device check.

[ro.debuggable: 1] & [ro.secure: 0]

`public boolean checkForDangerousProps() {

final Map<String, String> dangerousProps = new HashMap<>();
dangerousProps.put("ro.debuggable", "1");
dangerousProps.put("ro.secure", "0");

boolean result = false;

String[] lines = propsReader();

if (lines == null){
  // Could not read, assume false;
  return false;
}

for (String line : lines) {
  for (String key : dangerousProps.keySet()) {
    if (line.contains(key)) {
      String badValue = dangerousProps.get(key);
      badValue = "[" + badValue + "]";
      if (line.contains(badValue)) {
        Log.d("DeviceSecurityDetect", key + " = " + badValue + " detected!");
        result = true;
      }
    }
  }
}
return result;

}

private String[] propsReader() {
try {
InputStream inputstream = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("getprop").getInputStream();
if (inputstream == null) return null;
String propVal = new Scanner(inputstream).useDelimiter("\A").next();
return propVal.split("\n");
} catch (IOException | NoSuchElementException e) {
Log.e("DeviceSecurityDetect", ""+e);
return null;
}
}`

With these above I am able to detect device is rooted.

So let me know these above code is relevant or not.
