DisableFlagSecure not working, Pixel3, Android 9.0 - General Questions and Answers

I am using EdXposed, and have tried all the DisableFlagSecure modules, and also used Smali to add a module to Magisk to achieve the same result. None of it works.
I am using a Pixel 3 with Android Pie. I do not really want to update to 10 because then I won't be able to write to the system folder if I ever want to.
Am I missing something easy? Other modules in EdXposed and Magisk work OK, and I have a feeling this module is doing what is supposed to do, but there is something that is keeping it from triggering.

Magisk modules not working on Android 10

After updating I tried to flash TWRP to install magisk, but it failed. Then I found magisk patched boot image on xda and flashed it. Root works fine but the problem is my magisk modules are not working. I removed them and then again installed them but they doesn't seem to work.
Is it just me having this problem?
What to do?
No official TWRP for Android 10 yet. Android 10 just came out and a lot of developers have yet to update their modules. I would avoid TWRP and magisk for now
Magisk 20 works fine
Just be smart and don't use modules like audio mods and stuff for now
Things like FDE are updated, Vanced works, font changers will probably work, move certificates, call recorder, etc.

[Android 10] install EdXposed and Xposed without loosing safety net

Hi,
My question is simple, what is the difference between Xposed and EdXposed, and if there is a way to install it without loosing safety net.
My phone is a Oneplus 7 with android 10.
Thanks and best wishes for the new year!
EdXposed Framework allows to install XPosed Framework on devices running Android 10, Pie, and Oreo .
EdXposed requires your device must be rooted with Magisk v20.2+
By means of MagiskHide you can prevent SafetyNet's hardware attestion will fail.

Latest SafetyNet version not only checks for Android got rooted but also for device's bootloader got unlocked. The problem for John Wu - developer of Magisk - is that the new key attestation workflow now is hardware-based, and the code is sent by OEM to Google's server. May be some day he will find a solution ... it's unlikely that MagiskHide will be able to alter the key or intercept the transmission, IMHO.
Resume: Until then SafetyNet works as expected by OEMs and app developers, who have an interest in having an unmodified Android.
To add, you could try magisk module MHPC (Magisk Hide Props Config) which is what you'd use to modify device fingerprint and other system props.
The particular features in MHPC you may want to use which MIGHT get SafetyNet to pass are the Device Simulation and Force Basic Attestation. Combined, along with setting a similar device's fingerprint as long as that selected device isn't designed with hardware attestation, could be enough to fool SN. EdXposed coupled with Magisk's own Hide feature to hide themselves from GSF, GPS, Gpay, etc, should prove successful. The issue lies mostly with which order the software is installed and hidden, sometimes with rebooting being absolutely essential between certain steps. It really is a trial and error process.

Turn Off Edxposed module from magisk download and install LSposed apk install it...Goto magisk and download module Riru LSposed...reboot your phone... That's It Check your safety net.... Dont forget to off or remove Edxposed module or any other xposed enhanced framework module you using...lemme know if it worked for you...

Magisk + Magisk Manager = Total Confusion

I've read myself to exhaustion trying to understand how this all works with no luck. With articles on the web having no or vague instruction and authors using the terms Magisk and Magisk Manager interchangeably (this one is the worst) I'm totally confused. Additionally there is too much assumed knowledge in the instructions I find. Go do this, go install this with no links, no explanation of what I'm installing, how to install it, where the instruction and files live, how to use it or the actual effect upon install.
Here is my current state and my questions (please excuse the caps, they just express my frustration):
Pixel 4a
Android 11
Rooted with Magisk
Can't use banking apps
MagiskHide doesn't fix the problem
I read that using MagiskHide Props Config can fix my SafetyNet issues but the instructions are very extensive and I want to be sure of what I'm doing before I tackle it.
Does Magisk also live inside Magisk Manger? Do I need both?
Do I need Magisk Manager to load modules?
Hiding root and passing Safety Net:Magisk and MagiskHide Installation and Troubleshooting guide
www.didgeridoohan.com
Why do these instructions tell me to "Make sure that the app in question is selected in the Hide list (Under MagiskHide in the Magisk app)." and there IS NO HIDE LIST! under MagiskHide in the Magisk app?!
OR
"Most Magisk modules can be hidden by MagiskHide, but that depends on exactly what the module does. If you can't figure out what is triggering an app, try disabling all modules." THERE IS NO PLACE TO SELECT OR DISABLE MODULES IN MAGISK!
I am very, very technical and can can follow well written instructions but this android (and linux) stuff is new to me. I just want my Pixel 4a to have root and be able to use my Golden1 credit union software. I apologize for the drama but this task is becoming almost insurmountable.
Thank you very much for any opinion or insight!

Totally agree with you: all is based on slopiness of the authors.
Magisk is a software framework- it provides additional low level routines / replaces in parts Android's default system software - what hooks Android's boot and system files, thus you can extend Android's default system features by adding 3rd-party modules.
Magisk Manager is a pure Android app for managing Magisk.

Thank you very, very much. So do you need to have Magisk installed for Magisk Manager to work? If it's like maybe .Net framework then the answer would be "yes" but since I don't know this platform perhaps Magisk is "embedded" in Magisk Manger and you only need it to do all your work. Thanks again jwoegerbauer you filled in a major blank.
Magisk Manager is companion Android application for Magisk framework so it should be obvious that Magisk framework must be installed before.
I know what you mean. I just started trying to install an news magic today instead of lucky passer and I can't even get it installed and authorized because of the tar and the different things that wants to have me do. There's no instruction it's just supposed to be knowledge you're supposed to have. I think I'm just gonna delete it go back lucky.

Safety net ,Multiple fails. List of what I tried and no luck so far.

My daughter got a new phone, after struggling with bootloops and magisk issues. Finally got everything working correctly.
But,
I got root to go fine, only thing is she has had location issues. Google maps, other GPS or location services did not work.
So I uninstalled xprivacylua and seems like services came back, looks like I wasn't hiding anything on it anyways. Or I don't remember what it was.
So instead of reinstalling xprivacylua I decided to look for different answers .
Maybe some other solutions.
Here is a list of apps and modules that are installed. I think some of them overlapped and are kind of messed up. To many that my head is spinning.
Magisk
23.0 (23000)
Magiskhide Props Config.
Riru
Riru LS exposed (Tried switching back and forth to edxposed)
Systemless Hosts
Universal Safetynet fix 1.1.2. (Tried different versions)
LS Esposed one module,
Hiddencore module (enabled Google services Framework and google play services)
Also cleared Data and Cache on google play store.
Rebooted every time
Always safety net failure.
I know its a lot to take in , and do appreciate any feedback or help on this issue.
Is it an 8T? Are you running stock OOS with magisk?
In that case all you need to pass safteynet should be Magisk 23 with magisk hide activated. No need to bother with Magisk hide propconfig, or edexposed or anything.
If you are running a custom rom it is a different matter
I have magisk 23 and magisk hide is active on all google play services, but it still fails.
Its 8t with stock rom.
I think this is why its a little confusing since on my stock 7 pro I have google play services and only android.gms, and android gms unstable hidden and it works fine.
There is not a custom recovery on either of these phones.
Magisk and magisk hide works fine for me, so don't know what to say.
Perhaps try to uninstall Riru and exposed to make sure that they aren't triggering safety net?
You have to get termux. Get su superuser permissions then type props a menu will load press 2 then select yes to change device name then y again to reboot then it should pass safety net

Nope.. Terminal Emulator is actually recommended. With Termux, you are required to use root access for props to work.
with Terminal Emulator, you can just type:
props
and then it'll load. no "su" necessary. That's termux. I've had some issues that these people are talking about with my OnePlus 8T (KB2005, unlocked completely).. I'll try Termux just to rule this out, but this is highly doubtful as to whether or not safetynet passes based on this--it's attempting to modify the same values. Anyway, when I unlocked that bootloader on a stock rom, CTS Profile started showing as false. So I did get the stock on there correctly and it initially passed with a LOCKED bootloader. There's an alpha TWRP that you can actually flash if you want. There's a couple others where you can only boot it.. there's a lot of "only's" here.. and I couldn't get it going with any of the apps mentioned, including ditching EdXposed and deciding to try LSPosed, but that + XPrivacyLau didnt seem to help me. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. From what I can tell I've done everything right and I've got quite a bit of experience attempting/doing this. Sometimes Device SImulation and forced BASIC ATTESTATION can be a lifesaver.
On my OnePlus 6T, I don't have this problem.. then again it's on Android 10. I can't even get a proper root explorer for Android 11. I seriously can't stand what they did to Android 11.. it's so ridiculous how many apps are now incompatible. Root Explorer Pro was possibly the best Root File Manager I've ever used and I've used it since day 1.
Anyway, I'm gonna give all of this a shot in different order.. and this time I'll see if Magisk can do the trick (last time it was on some different firmware and i just now was able to get it going by flashing via Fastboot in Linux). It's the manual way (payload dumper) as opposed to MSMDownloadTool -- which could be used via a VM.. and maybe even better than using Windows tools where you literally have no idea what you're actually doing. I'm just saying. Android is a linux distro, technically.. and we're trying to use just basic root apps for Android 11, and they don't seem to work.. it's insane. They did something with the partitions and it's apparently having issues even mounting R/W even with Magisk giving it root permissions. Btw, Magisk Canary is now outdated, as far as I can tell? Or it's just nowhere to be found when it comes to versions. Either way, I have tried multiple. So I'll try again in a different order.
Sorry for the long post. I've just had it. I've been working on this for a WEEK non stop.. 5-6 days and this is the first sign of progress (reverting via fastboot via Linux, which is the same thing as the MSMDownloadTool ultimately... without the hassle of finding it)
Let me know if there's anything else.. cause I've tried just about everything out there. Remember, for me, so far... unlocked bootloader = CTS Profile failure.. but locked bootloader + stock rom? Passed. I don't know. Before it wasn't passing with a stock rom that came with it so that drove me nuts and made no sense, hence me saying "progress" ... heh. Anyway.. Please let me know if you guys do find anything that works for it. I'm at my wits end. There's basically almost zero support for the 8T but plenty for the 8 and 8 Pro. So that also gets on my nerves. Sorry, once again, for this really long post. Some of it is just venting and I'll update if I get somewhere with it.
.. and now this morning after installing magisk, by just booting twrp (not flashing, but booting) and then using LSPosed/XPrivacyLua (I installed MagiskProps too but I barely did anything aside from pick a fingerprint) --- and it passed? WHAT?
I'm gonna look into this, but I'm not complaining. Let's see if I can find good Android 11 apps for actually browsing the system and being able to r/w any elusive partitions -- wasn't working well with Android 11 before. Not sure if that's around with a simple design anymore. Root Explorer Pro was king of that. Then Android 11 stepped in. I still have to install Lucky Patcher, if it will even work as a module for LSPosed. (Yes, I'm one of those idiots) -- I fully expect it to fail with that but I might be pleasantly surprised. Who knows. So, we'll just call this mixed results. For now -- Passing somehow. I don't understand aside from LSPosed and XPrivLua.. maybe magiskprops. Not sure which one did what first to cause this to go the right direction.
All I can say is all I have is magisk props not the other 2 modules you speak of
Well this is super weird. I didnt see my daughter for 2 days and she said everything is working fine.
I did tons of reboots and other installs/uninstalls and nothing worked.
But now I do safety net check and it works fine.
I dont get it.
If I do have issues again I will post here and follow instructions.
Thank you for your time and help

Ok asked her what she did. Mentioned updated YouTube vanced. And not sure of anything else.

Question Is BASIC safetynet attestation supported on Oneplus 9 or is it too new?

I'm considering buying this phone but if it lacks support for BASIC attestation would mean that hiding root would be impossible and hence the phone would be useless for me.

As of now with magisk 23.0 on Android 11 I'm able to hide everything g-pay all banking credit card apps working. Magisk is changing in Android 12 so I'm unsure. But I believe there are still some modules we can use to hide su access in magisk canary beta for 12.
There are several modules for Magisk that allow for basic. I have been using them since I bought the phone on release day, and have been able to use all apps. I would recommend sticking to Magisk v23 instead of the newer version, as hide has been removed (for now). You will get conflicting advice on this, and will most likely have to make a decision to move to a12 or keep hide down the line.
Lmk if you would like my list or modules.

I have no intention of ever updating to Android 12 so this won't matter. My oneplus 5T has been on Android 8.1 for years (mainly because I wanted that sweet sweet taste of the original rovo89 Xposed framework) and it has worked fine but it's clearly nearing the end of its life and has a slightly broken screen.
OP9 LE2110 with OOS 11.2.8.8.LE25BA rooted with Magisk 23. Working apart of banking app. G Pay is ok
Everything is working great with latest Magisk Alpha, Universal SafetyNet Fix and Zygisk enabled with Deny list (New MagiskHide)
