What Is Zygisk NoHello?

Zygisk NoHello is a Zygisk-based module designed to hide root access and Zygisk itself from apps that detect and block rooted devices. It works with various root management tools and supports advanced configuration through a system called Mount Rule System.

Key Features of Zygisk NoHello

Root & Zygisk Hiding: Prevents apps from detecting root or Zygisk.
Mount Rule System (MRS): Allows custom rules for auto-unmounting mount points.
Whitelist Mode: Offers an alternative to deny lists by allowing only selected apps.
Flexible Compatibility: Works with Magisk, KernelSU, APatch, and their forks.
Performance Optimization: Designed to minimize overhead and improve stability.

How to Use Zygisk NoHello

Here’s a simple guide based on your root setup:

For KernelSU & KernelSU Next Users

Install ZygiskNext or ReZygisk.
Enable unmount setting for the target app in your root manager.
Disable Umount modules in manager settings (if available).
Turn off Enforce DenyList in ZygiskNext/ReZygisk settings.

For APatch Users

Same steps as KernelSU users.
Make sure Enforce DenyList is disabled.

For Magisk Users

Update Magisk to v28.0 or newer.
Turn on Zygisk (optional) or install ZygiskNext/ReZygisk.
Disable Enforce DenyList in Magisk and ZygiskNext/ReZygisk.
Add target apps to the deny list (or whitelist if using a fork).

Advanced Configuration: Mount Rule System

Starting from version 0.0.5, Zygisk NoHello supports Mount Rule System (MRS). This lets you define rules for auto-unmounting based on mount properties.

Rule Format

Each rule uses keywords and values like this:

<keyword> { <value1> <value2> ... }

Supported keywords:

Keyword	Matches Against	Wildcards	Description
root	Root path	Yes	Path in /proc/self/mountinfo
point	Mount point path	Yes	Where the filesystem is mounted
fs	Filesystem type	No	e.g., ext4, erofs
source	Source device	Yes	e.g., /dev/block/xyz

Example Rules

Match all tmpfs under /data/adb:

  fs { "tmpfs" } point { "/data/adb/*" }

Match source ending with “data”:

  source { "*data" }

Whitelist Mode

To enable whitelist mode, create this empty file:

/data/adb/nohello/whitelist

Warning: Using whitelist with MRS may cause overheating. To fix this, create:

/data/adb/nohello/umount_persist

Troubleshooting Tips

App still detects root? Double-check deny list or whitelist settings.
Performance issues? Avoid using whitelist with MRS unless absolutely necessary.
Module not working? Use the release build, not debug, unless reporting bugs.
Mount rules not applying? Ensure correct syntax and case-sensitive values.

FAQs

Can I use this with Magisk older than v28.0?

It’s recommended to update to v28.0 or newer for better hiding.

What’s the difference between ZygiskNext and ReZygisk?

Both are forks that improve Zygisk hiding. Choose based on compatibility with your setup.

Is this module safe for daily use?

Yes, but avoid experimental settings unless you know what you’re doing.

Can I contribute to the project?

Absolutely! Fork the repo, make changes, and submit a pull request.
