Question Safetynet NOT passing on stock rom or any other custom roms that use MIUI Vendor

I've fastboot flashed the official stock rom, MIUI EU and others. They all don't pass safetynet the CTS profile mismatch which means my device isn't certified in google play store. Other OSS roms like arrowOS works and passes.
How can I fix it

Found a potential fix here. Testing it in a few. Will update. https://droidholic.com/fix-safetynet-failed-cts-profile-false/

Download and enable "MagiskHide Props Config" module from the magisk modules section. Reboot. The method provided from droidholic did not work for me on Motorola G Power 2021 Boost Mobile USA variant Magisk rooted. Nor did MagiskHide props. However, My play store and certain easily triggered apps still work thanks to the Magisk Hide props module.

I don't want to use magisk. My phone can't be rooted because of work related reasons. I flashed the latest fastboot rom and it still doesn't pass CT profile check. My play store says device is not certified.
How can this be?

Unlocked bootloader
Why you flash stock without to wanna root, instead only update original fw if it's a company phone?
You can try to lock the bootloader again with miflash but I recommend to read exactly the manuals before locking again.

I am no expert, but I do believe once the bootloader is unlocked, it triggers a flag at boot level. It does warn against unlocking the bootloader on most devices prior to unlocking. I'd say that once anything is flashed, another flag is triggered. It's like Knox, but for the boot level I think. If you check the bootloader, there is usually some red and yellow colored text output that helps to diagnose the current state of the device. I am no pro, so I hope this makes sense and provides answers.

No unlocked bootloader has nothing to do with it. Google broke safetynet for almost all ROMS starting sep 2 I think. The latest Arrow OS ROM and a few other ROMS that just released new builds pass safetynet once again.

hi
I have A video on it all Necessary information and modules are in a single zip file to pass safety net, follow v the video and pass Safetynet

The right A12 ROMs rooting procedure

After searching the forum thoroughly, trying multiple found solutions and trying to find the answer on my own I decided to ask here. What is the right procedure to clean flash A12 AOSP-based roms and getting root?
Some time ago, after updating to A11 rom, I noticed I can't use Magisk the way I used to to root my device - 'no ramdisk' status made me forget about rooting for a while. Now I want it back at any cost. This is why I want you to answer some of my questions, including the one above:
1. Is 'ramdisk: no' status caused by A11 and above versions?
2. Is there a way to have ramdisk status 'yes' on A12 ROM to root the device without having to patch boot.img?
3. Magisk installation doc has totally different way of rooting in my situation. According to it, for ramdisk status 'no' the only solution is 'Magisk in Recovery'. However, every time I saw someone talk about no ramdisk magisk patching, they were patching the boot image - it works fine and is even suggested by Magisk app. Who is wrong here and which solution is the right one?
4. Is there a way to get SafetyNet to pass on patched boot.img? Is there a way to get it to pass on a rooted A12 rom?
5. Some time ago, I have accidentally flashed european vendor instead of chinese one (I own chinese K20 Pro). I had no problems with it so I ran it for a few months and then flashed it back to chinese. Might this be the source of ramdisk issue?
Big thank you to anyone who replies. I have no important data on my device so there is no need for a data-safe solution. I feel like existing flashing/rooting guides seem outdated as they mention A10 at best. After more than 2 years of owning this device I still love it and am not going to replace it anytime soon and I hope there are still people like me! Cheers!

Although Magisk official guide on Github is not clear about, for MIUI you should patch boot.img, not recovery, and do not pay attention to Ramdisk no.
However, when patching boot.img, watch to the log window and you will see it reports there that it found Ramdisk
And that procedure works fine on A11 as well - I have it (MIUI 12.5.2 on my side)
I suppose you have the official A11 and you installed over custom A12 ROM).
Old Magisk v23 was released before A12, hence you should IMO go for the new Canary or Alpha 23016
Btw, you will be IMO better askung in the Magisk General XDA thread

Thank you for replying.
I am aware of Magisk Canary, I used it to root my current A12 rom. Yes, I flashed it over the latest chinese MIUI firmware. Is there any way to pass SafetyNet with it though?

If you are on Canary 23016 (latest), you must enable Zygisk, and reboot
Then enable Enforce DenyList and go to Configure DenyList, enable Show System and OS apps, find Google Play Services and checkmark com.google.android.gms and
com.google.android.gms.unstable, and reboot again
If you were on the official, certified ROM, that would be enough to pass SafetyNet (since new Magisk app has no more the built-in SN checker, use one from PlayStore like YASNAC)
With your custom ROM you would probably need Universal Safety Net Fix= USNF 2.2.1 (latest).
Maybe even Magisk Hide Props Config (if USNF not enough) to spoof your unofficial/not Google certified ROM fingerprints - you will need to figure out (pain in the ass with custom ROMs)

This is exactly what I needed, thank you!

I dont have this model phone but i faced the same problem, i just flashed ArrowOS S along with magisk but i didnt realised it has now ramdisk no, before i was using AICP and it has ramdisk yes, so i installed latest version of magisk and the system updated but i dont have root anymore, what can i do?
I use OrangeBox for flashing
Edit: also it does replace the custom recovery?

Question Finally got my m11u, 2 more hurdles!

Hi guys, coming from a OnePlus 5t, got my m11u and finally waited the 168hrs! Following the instructions on the first post and finally got the bootloader unlocked, I found that was the hardest part, as I had to figure out on my own how to set up adb and the unlock tool etc. But thanks to YouTube I got through and now on EU 13.0.9.0 stable.
During the first week waiting for the unlock, I was hopeful of seeing if I can just enjoy the CN MIUI 13 ROM...deleted as many CN apps, installed Google Play etc and it seemed to be going well....until I noticed the huge problem w getting call and msg notifications. That was already a dealbreaker and seems like no real solution but to continue with a new ROM.
Now using the EU 13.0.9, everything seems great and working well. Except, I am trying to install Vanced youtube but cannot! On the CN ROM it was simply to turn off MIUI optimization in dev options, but xiaomi.eu has removed that option (cannot get the toggle even by pressing reset multiple times). What are my options at this point? Am I left with only option to root the device?
if so, I will try to learn to do it, but I'm hoping someone can point me towards the correct path. There is a how to thread here but it seems outdated as it refers to MIUI 12 and not 13(a12). So far from what I understand:
- a12 root is done with latest magisk v24+
- however v24 no longer use hide magisk and need to use zygisk and a deny list
- bear in mind I don't understand what the above means yet
- from my current status (newly installed EU ROM), what steps do I take?
- download magisk manager APK and install on phone
- make a patched boot.img - DO I USE THE BOOT.IMG FROM THE EXACT EU ROM I FLASHED?
- use fastboot to boot the patched boot.img?
- after this most tutorials tell me to download hide magisk and such, but v24 will be different
- where to go from here to install Vanced root version, and am I missing any steps? After root, will it affect my banking etc?
any help appreciated! Cheers

Is there a ROM that allows apps that won't run on Custom ROMs?

Can't find a ROM for Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro that allows apps like Bank apps or games that won't run on custom ROMs too etc

Unlocked Bootloader causes the problems
To spoof, you have to use Magisk and some modules
It's a long story - search eg for Play Integrity thread here on XDA and read more about (what, how to do, etc)
Otherwise, go back to stock ROM and relock Bootloader to avoid problems

Magisk, Lsposed Google photos unlimited uploads?

I apologize if this is a noob question. I haven't rooted since Pixel 2, so it has been close to 6 years and I am not very aware anymore about Magisk. I can probably find videos regarding how to install Magisk and root, but my question was with its use of LSposed and Pixelfy Google photos.
The Pixel 5 and older have free photo storage, and I assume this module spoofs the type of phone and makes it think it is a Pixel and gives free photo storage.
I have a phone I am not using but it is not rooted yet and something I am considering.
I have been also checking various threads and there is mixed feedback on this particular module.
Does anyone use the Pixelfy free photo storage ? It looks like it needs to be used with Magisk and LSposed to get it to work ? Some threads it looks like it works, others have been commenting that it is bricking and causing problems. If it is unreliable or bricking, then I'll just see if I can buy and older pixel but thought I'd ask here first. Thanks.

If you mean this LSPosed module, then yes, I use it on 3 of my devices and it works perfectly.
And yes, it requires to be rooted with Magisk and to have LSPosed framework installed.

Hi yes I believe this is it. So in order to have unlimited Google photo uploads, I need to first root, have magisk, download lsposed, then download this module separately?
I have a pixel 6a. Has there been any issues with Google halting or finding out about the spoof and blocking it?

Yes...there is actually two methods Pixelify goes about this; they either spoof the Pixel 5 (which is the latest Pixel Google will allow unlimited uploads but at "Storage Saver" lowered quality on the photos and videos) or the original Pixel(1) [which is the original and only Google Pixel left that Google allows unlimited uploads in original quality]. So you would need to decide which method you are willing to try and do...
But yes, you'd have to unlock the bootloader (which wipes the device), root with Magisk, install the LSPosed Magisk module, then run that Unlimited Google Photo app (or Baltiapps Pixelify GPhotos as it's officially named) which will then install the LSPosed module "separately".
I've already spoken a bit on this, so I will just quote what I said before (things to consider and risks involved) as well as you can click on the quote to go to the post/thread and see how the discussion developed there;

I wouldn't make this claim with such certainty. Spoofing a Pixel phone is definitely against Google's Terms and Conditions. Doing this for years may have worked out since Google was offering it from Pixel 2-5 in Storage Saver capacity, but it's been 2 years since the Pixel 5 was released, and as time goes on, it's less realistic that Pixel's before 6 would still be in use, yet there would be all these accounts still backing up using the unlimited storage feature. ESPECIALLY if (like me, to be guilty of) there are many who are spoofing the Pixel 1 to get it unlimited WITH original quality -- being the first Pixel is 7 years old; highly unrealistic that so many people should still be using the phone to be taking photos and videos off of.
My point is that, no one using this "trick" should completely rely on it and expect Google to "play along" indefinitely about it. Like I've been saying, at best, Google will just plug in the loophole and close the feature down; at worst, they remove any photo or video that were taken under a particular Pixel model when your google account shows it being connected to another device altogether and/or they suspend a google account outright using the exploit -- this is highly unlikely, but is still in the realm of possibility and is as I said worst case.
I, myself, back my photos and videos from my Pixel 7 Pro using this spoofing trick, but I will also back all my media up (when my device is full) on a physical medium just in case.

P.S. Also, since you are out of practice in rooting, there is an excellent tool that streamlines most anything to do outside of stock experience on the Pixels (bootloader unlocking, rooting, flashing and/or updating Full Factory images or OTAs [to either both or inactive slots], flashing custom ROMs, other recovery checks and protocols, advanced apk install or apk/app disabling [system, stock], it might even be able to flash custom kernels but I can't be too sure) which would be able to accomplish what your aims are pretty much with a single click (outside of clicking where your factory images are and what not)....

Thank you for the information. So before the way I used to root was I would use adb then type fastboot img then the TWRP file.
Then reboot and now I have custom recovery TWRP. This is of course after I have unlocked the bootloader which wiped.
I assume this is still the case where oem unlock is checked in developer options then sdb fastboot flashing unlock?
I briefly used magisk by topjohnwu but it was new back then and I sort of didn't keep up with it.
If there is a program or different method is it possible to point me to it? I honestly can remember what to do after booting TWRP.
Regarding the spoofing, the standard upload of the pixel 5 is fine for me and you mentioned some good points regarding Google potentially catching on. At the time banking apps didn't care if you were rooted but I think they do not work anymore if you are.
Also I thought I read somewhere, lets say I just flash a custom rom instead and don't use the pixel OS, will this be automatically for this module without having to do anything extra? It reminds me of when all custom roms had free Hotspot tethering built in so you didn't need to do anything extra.
I also don't mind flashing a custom rom and using it as a dedicated backup device either. Just exploring options
Thanks for the starter info. I just realized how long it has been and I don't recognize anything anymore.

I also had a Pixel 2 XL (taimen) for 3 years -- upgraded to the Pixel 5 -- so I am familiar with the method you are familiar with.
Unfortunately, that is no longer how it works. It sucks, but TWRP could never catch up after Android 10 -- it would take so long for them to develop that once they finally got TWRP to work with Android 10, Android 11 was released and became the new established version; then once they finally got it compatible with Android 11, Android 12 released and the same thing. So, as I understand it, TWRP does work in a limited capacity for Android 12, but it will not work for Android 13 (yet); and it seems if history repeats itself, it might not get there by the time Android 14 releases...
So still using magisk, but you can't "install" magisk from a .zip like you could with TWRP.
It's not that much more complicated than flashing Full Factory images or temp booting from a recovery image -- you simply extract the init_boot.img from the Full Factory image, "run it through" the Magisk app and get it patched that way, then flash the patched image the same way you flash the recovery partition (from the TWRP image) to permanently install/flash the custom recovery.
But, if you are still wary about going about all of this and/or if you are out of practice and unsure, please consider badabing2003's PixelFlasher. It basically does all of that stuff, but puts a GUI and automates it all for you -- as well as doing certain checks and protocols to make sure things aren't done wrong or buggy/incompatibly. It's as close to "one-click" as anyone's gonna get for the Pixels...
PixelFlasher will guide you to downloading the Full Factory image (or OTA if you wish that way), Magisk, the right platform-tools version (the least buggy version), i believe it can unlock the bootloader (but I could be wrong), and root or Full Factory update for you.
Hope this helps!

after installing the module, the module actually installs an app (which can be found in the app drawer) under "Pixelify GPhotos". Running the app should give you all the settings and options you need to get it to work/"be used" -- it even has a button to force-close Google Photos to reset it to detect the spoofing. Just be sure you have all modules enabled (LSPosed[within Magisk], Pixelify GPhotos[within LSPosed]).
I've assisted a bunch of users/members where they had to play around with the configurations a bunch to finally get it to work for them; for whatever reason, one configuration works for one user but not the other -- my configuration did not work for some of them and they had to enable certain settings to get it to work for them (even though we are using the same device).

I've assisted a bunch of users/members where they had to play around with the configurations a bunch to finally get it to work for them; for whatever reason, one configuration works for one user but not the other -- my configuration did not work for some of them and they had to enable certain settings to get it to work for them (even though we are using the same device).

Hi thank you for all your help. I currently have the pixel 6a now and will get the 7a but probably keep the 6a as a dev device. Once I unlock the bootloader, I will try the pixel flasher and go from there. Good to know about TWRP but if there is a newer and better way I am all about experimenting with that as well. I may give it a run over the summer.
Once I download pixel flasher and install magisk, so I go to gitgub and download lsposed then install pixelfy as a module separately?
Unlock bootloader -> pixel flasher->magisk->Lsposed-> Pixelfy?
Thanks and salamat po

Once [you] download pixel flasher and install magisk,...go to [github] and download LSPosed (zygisk version), then install Pixelify GPhotos (Baltiapps version, not original kingsman44) LSPosed module as a module separately (in LSPosed).
It will then install a companion app which you can set the settings and options....
But yes, "Unlock bootloader -> pixel flasher->magisk->Lsposed-> Pixelfy?" looks right; just keep in mind that unlocking bootloader wipes device, and use Pixelify Baltiapps and not kingsman44's.
Glad to help!
