Aokp , aosp

Hi guys.
When trying to use these type of ROMS I get one BIG problem. A program that uses BANK ID , when logging in to banks won't work anymore.
I think the file is named STK.apk. if I am not wrong.
On all the Stock (based) Custom Roms this operation work. But in AOKP,AOSP it doesn't. On stock based this program is White Color and after entering PIN code it disappears and log me into the bank.
But on AOKP,AOSP it is black, and it doesn't disappear it just times out after I enter PIN code.
Does anyone know a workaround or what can be the issue ? Someone mentioned that I should switch Kernel to fireopal 3.3 unofficial but that didnt work. I flashed Kernel in TWRP, maybe it should have been flashed in ODIN ?
Caligula. Peace Out

This will likely be due to a SafetyNet issue.
Where you rooted on stock? if yes with magisk or otherwise?
If you're still on aosp you can download this SafetyNet Helper Sample and see if you pass.
If you don't there are a few things you can do to pass it again.

Hi , I did use SuperManRom and BatmanRom, I think they both were rooted yes, and they use Magisk 14 beta there I think.
I will try to flash an Aosp-Aokp Rom again and then try with this App you are posting. Thank you. Now I am on STOCK Samsung since I couldn't get this to work. I used KIES to go back to fabric base.
I will make a backup and then try
UPDATE : I have now flashed Lineage Os 14.1 and I haven't root and Safetynet fails. So first thing I need is root maybe ?

Magisk has the capability to root your phone without triggering SafetyNet but that is (at least it was for me) a pain in the ass to get it working correctly.
Another thing I did with Snapchat (also doesn't work if SafetyNet is triggered) is that I set up the App on a clean stock rom, then backed it up with Titanium Backup and installed it on the rooted/aosp/... ROM. Note: This also works if the SafetyNet check in the app is only executed when you first login.

Thanks for info

I get false on the first CPTID(something) the heaviest of the 2 checks on SAFETYNET the other one I get ok.
After I install Magisk 14.
But I am giving up. Can't really find a 100 % workaround for this.

Bootloader won't relock, and SafetyNet mayhem

Hi there
Two issues/problems here:
I rebranded my Oreo European MHA-L09 successfully to MHA-L29, everything went perfectly. Then I proceeded to flash RR. SafetyNet however is not helping : CTS mismatch doesn't seem to wanna go away. I tried everything I could find, Magisk does nothing, unrooting : same, can't relock bootloader (root is risk)... kindabummed as it even blocks Spotify from showing up in Play Store. After a week of proding, I'v given up.
So I go back to stock, and whaddayaknow, everything goes fine except... bootloader won't relock : root is risk. I tried reflashing using HWOTA, like, a billion times, couldn't get HiSuite to help either, can't really figure out how to use download mode - most tutorials I found were for P10 - sooooo... yeah.
Any ideas when it come to relocking bootloader (in a stock rom or nah) and passing SafetyNet when a GSI is flashed?

So, bootloader relock won't happen if any of the stock images don't match exactly to what the system expects. (If it does, you brick.)
On any ROM, provided it passes the basicIntegrity check, Magisk, possibly with the universal props fix module, will get SN passing. (If it doesn't pass basicIntegrity in the first place, that's another thing, and Magisk can't fix that.)

Thank you so much for your answer! I already tried installing huawei props fix but it doesn't want to flash - /data/magisk is not configure proprerly even after multiple reinstalls apparently - and when it comes to MagiskHide Props Config, I can't seem to find a fingerprint for the Mate 9. Would using the Mate 10's cause issues?

Near as I've been able to tell, the fingerprint only makes a difference to things like SafetyNet. You can add the fingerprint for the Mate 9 if you want, obviously, but you could just as easily use one swiped from anywhere else and it would work just the same.
How are you attempting to install Magisk? I've only ever done it, personally, through Magisk Manager, using "Patch boot image" or "Direct install". With the bugs that recently appeared (Magisk Manager 5.8, Magisk 16.6, saw lots of softbricks due to direct install or install via TWRP - it was unconditionally patching something it shouldn't have), I've been telling people to use Patch Boot Image in Magisk Manager always.

Okay, thanks! Yeah, I installed it from TWRP. Gonna redo the install then.
Also, I just noticed that Bluetooth does not work - it doesn't even activate for some reason - so I'll probably restart from ,yet another, clean flash. Thank you so much for your help!

Failing safteynet without root, and with magisk hide while rooted

Hi. Recently my safteynet started failing. I don't remeber exactly what modifcations I did at the time to cause it. I flashed the latest OOS from OnePlus so I would have no root or mods, and safteynet continues to report failed.
I really don't feel like wiping my data. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The mods I have installed at some point via magisk are, edxposed, riru, and viper audio effects.
Thank You!

The safetynet fail during no root time is likely because of the still unlocked bootloader. Edxposed does no longer pass safetynet. Im currently running OOS 10.3.1 with magisk while passing safetynet

Having the same issue man.
Latest beta, with root, but failing safetynet.
not sure where to go from here. I remember having this same issue a while back but "safetypatcher" fixed me right up....but it's not on the magisk repo any more

Just found this: https://github.com/kam821/safetypatch/releases/tag/v4.0.1
about to re root and flash with magisk hide. I'll update this thread. Might be worth a try for you as well.
Thanks for the idea!

Update. the SafteyPatcher above did not work. I am trying MagiskHidePropsConfig now, however I am failing BasicIntegrity and CTS, which I believe means theres probably something else going on. Not really sure what to do.

What did you do to make it pass? I already included GSF and Play Services from the blacklist.

All my problems resolved when i uninstall Magisk, and return to PIE....

is the manager hidden and play services in the hide list (should be by default)
also check that avb and preserve encryption are ticked on the front page. Normally these should allow you to pass.
If you are still failing then there is probably some mod/previous installation of root apps on the phone causing this to trip snet.

Worth it to upgrade from Android 10 Sept 2020 to Android 11 right now or wait?

Or wait a couple of months for them to tweak it a bit?
I only run Magik and not Xposed, not that it matters!

I'm not rooted, but I've been running R since the first public ßeta.
It's been the smallest update so far in a long time for Android. Very little has changed, compared to previous major version upgrades.
If you can root (and from what I read i think you can with Magisk), make a full backup and try it.

I don't really know what you'd be waiting for. I don't think a non-rooted person would notice much in terms of drawbacks. Magisk modules level, there were some issues... but I think most things are getting worked out. Xposed technically works, but more than half of my modules broke in a way that probably won't be fixed for a while. I still feel like I'm at a net-negative in terms of phone features. A11 brought little and broke a lot of my QoL tweaks that used Xposed.
I make no claims about SafetyNet as I use no apps that even check it.

I think A11 has been released formally by google and most of issues have been fixed or addressed.
I used magisk and edxposed. That's not a problem for me(I used Edxposed for fingerface only). Regarding of safetynet issue, it also has solution to make it pass by magisk modules and kernel side.
Until now, I'm happy with A11.

I ended up doing a full wipe and upgrade to Android 11 Oct 2020.
I have Magisk running with the SQL Lite mods for Google Pay and obviously I have root so I'm basically back where I was on Android 10.
I hadn't use Xposed yet and I don't know if I will yet. I was using Viper Audio mod but I don't know if I noticed a major difference, mostly I just stream bluetooth in my SUV.
So far, so good.

I tried it and reverted back to 10 - as mentioned didn't gain much but broke a lot. Even in stock form I can't get videos to load a subtitle file because of storage permissions and what not. A tweaked out install of 10 is faaaar nicer imo so that's what I'm running, probably until a new phone comes out sadly.

can i ask how you upgraded to A11? Im on 10 rooted with magisk and keep hearing mixed messages on upgrading. And is it necessary to wipe? I really don't want to.

A11 is not too bad, but as others have said little things here and there that break. Like for me I listen to SiriusXM app on mobile and for some odd reason it will stop playing all of a sudden and close. It's like the aggressive memory management kills the app for no reason. I even have battery optimization turned off and still does it.
Thinking about moving back to A10 from August, not really much I have to have to stick with latest A11 updates.

Flash the factory image, but remove the -w in the flash-all file. Then in Magisk Manager switch tot he beta channel and patch the boot image with that. Flash it and you're done.

Ok so I shouldn't install it via the ota? I keep getting the pop up to update every day.

Does using Magisk to dl / install the OTA, then patch the non-live and newly flashed partition, then finally rebooting not work?
When I was rooted that was always the easiest way.
And based upon the post 2 above this one, Magisk now supports A11 without ẞeta, right?

[Help Please] Setting up Magisk on Lineage 18.1

Hello everyone. Long time since I had an android device and I'm cutting the chains of my iPhone wanting to be de-Googled and de-Appled. I was running Lineage 17.1 from Microg and thought I had everything working on it until I started updating some software on my phone over the air. I rebooted and it went to bootloop. Since then I re-installed 17.1 and got things working again. I just upgraded to 18.1 and want to make sure it's all set up properly and won't have any errors.
Magisk says SafetyNet has an "SafetyNet API Error." "Basicintegrity, ctsProfile, evalType N/A." all in red when I check if it's working. I've done some digging, but want to make sure I do this right. I need to get the boot.img file from the original firmware. Should I get this from the oneplus website, or should I be looking for something else since I have Lineage? Can anyone provide the raw boot.img file for the OnePlus 7 Pro that I should use? I'm a little overwhelmed with all of the steps to extract it from the original firmware. Please and thanks for any help getting this phone set up the way I need it to work!

That error show when safety net API download was incomplete/corrupt, you can try to erase data from magisk manager and check safetynet again but with a better internet connection or use another magisk version like canary
And if you end in a bootloop for any magisk module just turn off your device and in your computer in a CMD/powershell/terminal window enter this command
adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules
Then connect and turn on your phone and automatically your phone will reboot with all your magisk modules disabled

Use magisk canary bro,,,

I sideloaded Canary and still get the red SafetyNet API error screen after opening it. Can someone direct me to a full tutorial on how Magisk works and what the modules do? I'm thinking I might need to do a full uninstall of Magisk and start over. If I do this will I lose all the data on the phone and have to start from scratch? Thanks for your help so far!

Well I've spent several hours researching tutorials and typing in codes via Terminal on my Mac and have gotten the phone restocked twice and working normal on stock OS, but after putting TWRP on it and then installing Lineage 18.1 it goes into a Lineage logo boot loop. What am I missing here?
It seems to me that TWRP is not compatible with Lineage. Sometimes when I rebooted the phone and was playing with the Recovery.IMG I saw the Lineage Recovery, then other times the TWRP would flash on and off in a boot loop. I have been careful about using the command " ./fastboot boot TWRP.img " and not "flash" TWRP, as would be the case for non a/b storage devices. On a couple occasions I could reboot with the Lineage Recovery.IMG and it would boot to startup, but if I rebooted to Recovery from the home screen, it would get stuck on TWRP.
I'm probably just missing something simple, but what might I be doing wrong? Is it the timing of installing TWRP and then installing Lineage in the same TWRP session?
This all stemmed from me wanting to get TWRP with Lineage 18.1 and getting Magisk and Microg working correctly for a "de-googled" phone with working apps. I'm frustrated, but will keep trying if I can get some direction. Thanks for your input.

Still trying to find a solution. I get fairly far into flashing the ROM, getting TWRP working and then end up stuck at Microg not letting me open the location menu. If only there were a guide with start to finish Lineage 17.1 or 18.1 with Microg and Magisk for my OnePlus 7 Pro. I find some guides, but there isn't one that encompasses everything that actually works. I'm going to try Lineage 18.1 with Microg built in and then flash Magisk.

I never installed lineage but i guess you can flash the ROM, change slots, then format data(this will erase all your stuff) and flash magisk then reboot into system
And for the safety net error yesterday was released a "fix" for that so try again

Thank you. I'll have to address this at some point. I got the phone restocked, and flashed 18.1 Lineage on it again. Got all my apps and accounts back up on it. I'm just debating running Magisk again knowing that I'll likely have to start from scratch again. I wasn't able to get TWRP working correctly, so I left Lineage Recovery on, so it will be some time before I try going through this again. I'm going to do some research on what exactly is happening when I put recoveries and ROMs on different slots. Same goes for the Magisk. It's all quite new to me with the "slots" and what information has to go on which slot. I also need to find out how to backup my apps so if I re-flash a ROM, it's not so painful to get my data back on the phone.
At least I have a working phone without a Google login and most of the apps I want work. I'm only missing Lyft and my bank app. Again, thanks for the reply, and I'll look into this when I have some time to play with the phone again.

TWRP can't boot in devices with OOS 11 blobs and encrypted data, for Magisk the only way I can imagine is using a patched boot.img.
Make a backup of your current boot.img(lineage) with apps like Franco kernel, then Patch it with magisk, then flash it in fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
if something woes wrong you can restore the backup from Franco kernel

Thanks RokCruz,
I'm going to get 18.1 back on with the LOS Recovery again. I'll try the boot patch method with the LOS boot.img from 18.1 for Magisk. I haven't tried the Franco kernel as I just now found out about it. I don't really need to do anything else fancy with the phone in terms of overclocking or underclocking. Does that kernel facilitate easier backups? I'm still learning a LOT about how Android works. It's been a steep learning curve. Fortunately, I can get myself out of any binds with a restock and fastboot!

Yes only for boot backups, I always made a backup of my boot.img of every OB just in case something goes wrong but i have never experienced that.
I personally prefer OOS, just install custom kernel and some mods like Cyberpunk 2077 theme, Riru Lsposed and a adbloker and that's all I need

I guess you can, just use a debloater
But it's better to install HydrogenOS just disable Chinese apps, install micro g and it's complements and you can run any Google dependant app, safety net passes without problems too.

So at the end of the day, I ended up with HydrogenOS 11 and have F-Droid and Aurora Store installed and working fine. I didn't/don't need Magisk or MicroG since HOS apparently is OK'd by google and all of my apps work.
So this worked perfectly for me. I have a fully functional OS and no Google sign-in needed. I did as you said and just deleted the Chinese bloat apps. I can't manage to get rid of the "Market" app though.
Lyft works and all of my location requiring apps like Waze work as well. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Question: Will OxygenOS work the same without a google login? If so, what would be the advantage of HOS vs OOS? HOS 11 has an entire section devoted to a Google login for different services. I left it blank, but just wondering what the difference would be on OOS.

Market can be disabled if my mind serve me right, OOS could end in a bootloop if we remove all Google apps so it's better not to do that.
I never see that section, I only installed OB1 and OB2 and never see that.

And remember you need to install magisk in order to pass safetynet.

Looks like I'm denied the ability to disable the Market App.
Photo's attached for the Google settings I have available on HOS 11.
Also unable to make the microphone work in the keyboard for voice to text, but I have a feeling I won't be able to make that work without logging in to Google. Currently looking for some workarounds.
What will passing Safetynet allow me to do that I'm not already able to do now? Use banking apps and "tap to pay" type apps? I haven't found my bank app on the Aurora Store just yet. "US Bank" if it makes a difference.
I'll continue to play with this OS, but so far, it seems the easiest to get working right from the get-go.
