ROM / Safetynet help

I'm currently running NanoRom on my S6 - but as it's pre rooted and running Magisk 12 it fails safetynet check.
I'm looking for a ROM that's running marshmallow but before march security update and one that passes safetynet.
Looking to be able to play Pokémon Go and be able to hide root but after ROM suggestions...
Thanks

Try this module, either flash through TWRP or add the module in magisk.
If you've added through magisk make sure to reboot phone.
Unfortunately not working...

Must be a Rom related issue then, I'm on odexlite Rom, magisk 12 and using the module I linked and I pass fine.

updating with magisk and twrp

I have a google pixel recently rooted with Magisk and have TWRP. My system is informing me of a system update, and it says Couldn't install update. I've seen people suggesting using FlashFire to flash a factory image of the update, then install Magisk right after that. So how would i go about it? can i do just that? is it possible to update that way? can i flash both magisk and twrp after flashing the factory image? thanks in adv

Try this
2x speed video of my using FlashFire to update the Pixel to the February Android 8.1 update, plus flashing ElementalX custom kernel v3.02 and Magisk v14.2. A little less than 3 minutes at this speed.

You have to be on Magisk 14.2 (not a higher version) to begin with, though, so if you're not, disregard this, or search for and read the appropriate posts for uninstalling Magisk and installing the correct version in order to use FlashFire under 8.1.

Anyone try Magisk 16.0 w/ SPay?

I've been using the older version of Spay with Magisk 15.3 and just updated to 16.0. I was curious if anyone was using the latest version of SPay w/ the latest version of Magisk and if it worked or detected root still.

Is the first Pixel on Android Q rootable?

So I just updated my pixel to Android 10. And besides the issue with getting TWRP to work, I've been trying, and failing, to get Magisk installed.
I havn't tried the newer Magisk beta yet. Does anyone know if this would work instead?
Thanks
it works with me with the latest TWRP and Magisk

Okay, so with TWRP 3.3.0 with the no-pin workaround, I wasn't able to install magisk 19.3. However, I was able to get the Beta 19.4 to work.

updated OP with nov images
one report of nov 2019 update breaking google pay
The boot images are very helpful. Thanks!
I initially used the one patched for Magisk and was able to get root on the Nov release. Than I tried to install EdXposed Yahfa version (after installing Riru 19.5) and I got stuck in during boot at the "G logo" screen.
I was able to get back to a non-rooted system by reflashing the unpatched boot.img file. Now I need to figure out how to disable the Edxposed modules while staying on the November patch. The instructions for disabling Magisk modules seem written for a release earlier than Nov or they assume you have TWRP.
Any quick pointer on how to disable my Magisk modules on the November release?
if you can push the magisk uninstall zip to your device, then fastboot booting into twrp then flashing the magisk uninstall zip that should do the trick.

See this, https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/themes/magisk-modules-disabler-booting-magisk-t3967433. Twrp isn't going to work on 10.

Thanks for the pointer. I wasn't sure if that Disabler would work with the November image.
I ended up reflashing the factory default and than reapplying the correct files. I now have GravityBox running on the Nov Image!
Up and running with OP's patched image and November "dirty" flash. Don't use G-pay so no report on that.
Edit - patched IMG after first boot shows magisk 19.5 installed, not 20.2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OP updated to show 19.5.
Had the same issue and ran into the problem getting the modules disabled. Glad you were able to get it up and running.

i think doing a full uninstall of magisk (removes modules and settings) might be best until twrp or something else comes along...
Thanks for the patched image @dipstik. Gonna wait for Dec's iteration

Which version of Magisk did you use to patch the boot image? I tried using stable and canary to patch the stock boot image when I updated earlier, but each time it would just reboot straight to bootloader.
i patched with 20.2-72edbfc4 .
this thread might help. i havent updated yet. https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/help/december-update-rootable-t4013605

I've been following that thread and there doesn't really seem to be a definitive solution yet. What works for one person doesn't seem to work for anyone else (including me). I'll just live without root for the first time in about 9 years until the problem is figured out...

I read through this thread and the other thread you referenced, Has anyone tried topjohnwu's method: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md ? I used with the November update and had no issues. It doesn't involve flashing patched image.
Is root working for anyone else on the Dec update? I just flashed it and Magisk detects that it's installed (20.2 so I'm guessing it's Canary as the latest stable/beta is 20.1) but no root apps work at all.

It is working for many and not for others. My wife's P3 rooted fine with canary.

I used this method and it worked with no issues. It was only the second time i used this method but with others having issues with the factory image and patched boot image i thought I'd give it a try.
