Unroot / Relock - Xiaomi Redmi S2 Questions & Answers

I unlocked my S2 to test some other roms... But now, my bank application don't want to work because my device is rooted ....
I think application want to say "device is unlocked", because I never root my device. And also, if I flash the official MIUI rom, I have the same issue....
Is that possibility to unroot / relock the device ? only with MIUI or also with custom rom ?

Bank application will work if you unroot your device just flash magisk Uninstaller no need to relock bootloader or you can simply use magisk hide to hide root status from those apps and can use them having root.

Magisk was not installed, I installed Magisk Root Checker from Play Store, and it says my device isn't root. So ... I installed magisk and hide it for bank app ... And now it's ok ! Finally ... I had to root my device to run bank app ....

unlock bootloader and android pay

Can anybody confirm that with unlock bootloader only (no root yet), that android pay works or not on stock rom?
I'm tempted to at least setup twrp while i'm still on 20a but then if android pay don't work even before root then I might not do it. Thanks.

Android pay won't work if you unlock your bootloader only, but if you unlock your bootloader and install magisk for root it works I would set up TWRP, install magisk for root and also recommend installing the Asgard v4.5 kernel. Then in magisk manager you need to go-to settings and check magisk hide (and don't use built in busy box with magisk hide enabled) and check safety net. If you pass, you can use Android pay.

Has anyone tried this and been able to confirm if it works?
Also, will a T-mobile branded LG G5 that is "carrier" unlocked "only" work with Android pay? If not, do you need to go through the same process of unlocking the boot loader, rooting, and installing magisk? Cheers and thanks in advance for any feedback!

Relock Bootloader with Non-MIUI ROM

Hello, not sure if someone has asked the same question before but is it possible to relock the bootloader with a custom ROM and not MIUI official ROM?
The main reason behind the question is I want a pure pixel experience ROM and due to an unlocked bootloader and root, I can't use some banking and company apps even with MagiskHide so I'm thinking of relocking the bootloader and unroot and at the same time maintaining the custom ROM.
I'm using a Pixel Experience ROM btw.
Thank you.

Afaik not possible..i mean if u lock bootloader on any custom rom or even official with modifications u will stuck at bootlooop. dm verity
As far as I know, relock the bootloader is not possible.
However, it's possible to hide the bootloader unlock status without installing magisk. For example, xiaomi.eu's ROM hides it, and SafetyNet passes without magisk. But I don't know how to do this.
Which version of magisk are you using, it should be better with hiding stuff in the latest verison

Thank you, I am using Magisk 18. Some of my apps still force me to close even after I added it in MagiskHide.

You dont have to do anything. Simply Install their Rom and IT will Work directly. Used Banking Apps etc without a Problem on their Rom

I've found with a few apps that I had to turn off USB debugging as well, before it would let me use them. Maybe give that a try.

What can unlocking the bootloader and not rooting the phone do?the possibilities?

Checked out realme's website and they state that unlocking and flashing roms does not void warranty but rooting the phone does.So what are the possibilities/things one can do with the phone while unlocking it but not rooting it.
Also is there a safe rooting method which doesnt leave traces after unrooting again? So that the device can be used in warranty.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
If you have Realme 5 Pro (not q) then you can still flash custom rom, recovery or basically anything with adb. It's just you won't be able to do root stuff on your phone but you'll need pc. Still you could flash custom kernel, rom, or ota update. Magisk is called systemless root for it does root your system without touching the system files so after uninstalling it and flashing stock rom realme service shouldn't ever be able to tell that your phone was ever rooted. I live in Hungary and my previous Xiaomi phone was installed with custom rom, kernel and Magisk root. Before taking it to Xiaomi service I did a clean flash, reverted everything to stock and warranty was still good to go. That'd be just an example. Don't know Realme how is with these stuff.

You're welcome. If indeed only root void warranty then you're free to flash to your linking almost everything via usb adb. Except for root ofc.
thank you again for the same.

After installing twrp via adb you can flash stuff from your sd card. Don't forget to always have a backup zip file of your stock rom in case something goes wrong. And don't forget to use backup in twrp for data partition sometimes when you feel you're about to do something risky that might flip your system's stability. I do that all the time ?*
Yep I will.Its a new phone so more of a reason to take precautions .

Magisk has an option to hide from those apps, I used it all the time with secure banking apps
If I unlock bootloader and flash TWRP, can this TWRP can be used as my stock recovery further for flashing zips(not custom ROMs)? Also will Bank apps work in this set up without any problems?
Yes, you can use TWRP to flash anything. Yes, bank apps will work as long as you have magisk installed.

If you didn't root it yourself, it probably isn't. Download a root checker from Play Store and see for yourself.

Safetynet is just a means of control not a solution.
Some banking apps detect if the bootloader is unlocked even if Safetynet pass.
Found this tutorial if anyone has banking apps not working and have magisk installed: https://xiaomiui.net/how-to-use-zygisk-5640/
