“Fix Apps That Crash on LDPlayer Because of Root Detection”
An app may close right after it opens, or it may show the message "This device has been rooted." The likely cause is that root permission is enabled in LDPlayer, and the app detects it. In the cases reported for this guide, turning off root
Before You Start
Prerequisites: Root permission is off by default in LDPlayer. Check this setting if you turned it on earlier and forgot to turn it off.; The name of the root setting can differ between LDPlayer versions. Follow the step for your version.
Step-by-Step
- Open the settings panel of the emulator.
- Go to Other settings.
- Set Disable root permission to on. This turns off root permission.
- Click Save.
- Restart the emulator.
- If you use LDPlayer 3, open the Basic tab, clear the Enable root permission checkbox, save, and restart the emulator.
- Open the app again.
## Overview An app may close right after it opens, or it may show the message “This device has been rooted.” The likely cause is that root permission is enabled in LDPlayer, and the app detects it. In the cases reported for this guide, turning off root permission fixed the problem for Epic Seven, Captain Tsubasa: Dream Team, and Arknights.
## Why this works Some apps check whether the device has root access. When root permission is enabled in LDPlayer, the app may detect it, close, or show a warning. Turning the permission off removes that signal for the app.
## What to expect After the restart, the app should open and stay open. Some apps may show a different start screen first. If the app still closes, the cause is probably not root permission.
## Common mistakes
- Changing the setting in the wrong panel. LDPlayer 3 uses the Basic tab, as the steps describe.
- Restarting the emulator without saving the setting first.
- Turning root permission back on for another tool and then expecting the app to work.
- Assuming the fix covers every crash. Read the error text before you change other settings.
## When not to use this step If you need root permission for a tool you use on purpose, turning it off stops that tool from working.
## Before you change the setting Note your LDPlayer version before you start. The setting name and location differ between LDPlayer 3 and other versions, so follow only the steps that match your version.
## Verify The app opens and stays open without the “This device has been rooted” message.
## Notes
- In the Arknights example, a dialog named Application Protection appeared, or the game closed right after opening. Turning off root permission stopped both symptoms.
- If the app still crashes with root permission off, the cause is different. Contact LDPlayer support by email at [email protected] and include the app name, error text, and your LDPlayer version.
- Legal: this guide turns off root permission to get past an app’s root check. Such checks can be a form of emulator detection, and a workaround may breach an app’s terms. Legal review: approved by AndroidEmulator on 2026-11-09.
