[MOD] Multidisabler fork *keeps data encryption*: disables Vaultkeeper, auto-flash of stock recovery, proca, wsm, cass, - Samsung Galaxy [SNAPDRAGON] S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra

Since many custom recoveries (twrp) don't usually support mounting an encrypted data partition, the original Multidisabler disables file based encryption (https://source.android.com/security/encryption/file-based) which results in an unencrypted data partition.
While many find this useful, and it saves time to be able to download a zip and hop right in to recovery to flash it, this is not great for user security and privacy.
It is important enough that google has required file based encryption on all new devices running android 10 and higher (source https://source.android.com/security/encryption/file-based)
All that is to say, I forked the multidisabler and dropped the code that disables encryption. Install it in twrp like you would any other zip.

Q: How do I get zips on my device to flash in twrp/other custom rom

This is a really good work. I dont have to format the data. Kinda life saver. Thank man

I assume you would need a bootload r unlock?
Is there any Bootloader bypass?
Im not willing to pay someone 150+ for a phone to be unlocked.... Especially when I am already paying $1000+ for the phone.
If not I'll much rather wait till I pay of the last few payments for the phone

Pretty sure it's not 150+ dollars lolol.. but I understand..
To answer your questions since I didn't see any yet, yes, you need a bootloader unlocked seeing as how this is a flashable zip you would flash in TWRP and TWRP of course requires an unlocked bootloader etc. (or SHRP or OF recovery whichever doesn't matter, they all require bootloader to be unlocked...)
And no, there isn't any "bypass", at least if I understand correctly in that by bypass you mean something that bypasses the bootloader and allows custom firmware to boot without unlocking the bootloader in which case of course is still no, there hasn't been one for a long time.
And not being able to pay for the service is understandable, if you prefer to unlock devices normally then I am sure you have researched which ones are best but usa Snap models are usually not the choice to go for.

I just wanted to add for those that won't click the Google/Android link you posted on file-based encryption what it means to have encryption when it comes to TWRP. He briefly mentions it in the OP but essentially what it means is that if you use twrp or other custom recovery while in twrp your data partition is encrypted.. This means when you use adb shell, build in terrminal, file manager, or even install/flashing from device itself the data will be encrypted so you will not be able to access your files while in recovery at all if they are on the device itself.. to flash a zip you would need to start your custom recovery in adb sideload then use computer with phone plugged in and adb installed and adb sideload the zip you want to install from your computer.
Therefore in order to install your zips as stated in the OP you would need to use an external sd card, or adb sideload.
I never care about encryption honestly but I suppose if data is encrypted and you have twrp installed then anyone can access your files and make backups or anything they want vs. not encrypted it just limits your options for flashing but makes it harder for people to steal your data..
Although I am pretty sure if any hacker knew what they were doing regardless, if they had root and/or TWRP then they could surely steal your data if they really wanted to encryped or not lol. This is just my opinion though..

>Although I am pretty sure if any hacker knew what they were doing regardless, if they had root and/or TWRP then they could surely steal your data if they really wanted to encryped or not lol. This is just my opinion though..
Definitely, simply unlocking the bootloader opens you up to plenty of evil-maid type attacks where someone could replace your kernel with their own, and next time you decrypt your device it could record the key, or simply start copying data out over the network.
But, encryption does provide important protection from different types of attacks.
Without encryption, anyone can access your data anytime they have access to your device, no clever attacks necessary. Just plug it in, and the data is theirs. With encryption enabled, attacks are definitely still possible, but are much harder to execute.
If you care about your data, have encryption enabled, and want to protect against evil-maid type attacks, make sure to wipe your device after it leaves your control.
If you are seriously concerned about security (life or death, substantial financial loss, etc) don't unlock your bootloader, or look into roms like graphene that support re-locking the bootloader.
adb sideload or an external sd card work great for development work while keeping your important things encrypted.

Has anyone been using Magisk (or some other root method) while keeping FBE enabled?
I've been looking at custom ROMs, but most of them (especially OneUI roms) seem to break/disable FBE. Is anyone using a custom ROM with FBE, or am I better-off just rooting the stock ROM and debloating?

This is probably a stupid question...I see the multidisabler says 3.1..
Is oneui 3.1 required or does it work with oneui 3.0?

Thanks for the info.

Hello, Will this work on Samsung s8 exynos version. I have hades q custom rom installed.
Edit : I tried installing the zip( Stupid decision) from sdcard in twrp, got error 3, attached screenshot for reference. Any support is appreciated .

i tried your file but it doesn't work for my Samsung SM-A115F , hope you can create a file for this device for me , or tell me how to create it , i would appreciate it if you help help

Hello!
Help solve the problem:
Samsung A02s, Android 11.
After installing TWRP v3.5.2 on the phone, it is impossible to set either a pin code or a password for the lock screen.
Unfortunately, before formatting the data section, I forgot to install Multidisabler. I do not know, maybe this is not entirely and is no longer relevant, but is there any way to cure it?
Is there a cure?

Please guide me, the sequence of installing files through Odin:
vbmeta in the (user data) field.
If the phone performs a full reset, we agree, otherwise we turn off the phone and go into recovery, we reset the data forcibly.
We reboot into download mode.
Install TWRP Recovery.
Installing multi-disabler via TWRP.
We format the Data section.
Install Magisk.
Loading into the system ...

Is it possible to use this for to install custom ROM, eg. Beyondrom, without any problems?

Need your answer, it doesn't work with Samsung A11 even though I tried enough rom

Vì nhiều khôi phục tùy chỉnh (twrp) thường không hỗ trợ gắn phân vùng dữ liệu được mã hóa, Multidisabler ban đầu vô hiệu hóa mã hóa dựa trên tệp ( https://source.android.com/security/encryption/file-based ) dẫn đến dữ liệu không được mã hóa vách ngăn.
Mặc dù nhiều người thấy điều này hữu ích và tiết kiệm thời gian để có thể tải xuống một tệp zip và truy cập ngay vào khôi phục để flash nó, nhưng điều này không tốt cho bảo mật và quyền riêng tư của người dùng.
Điều quan trọng là google đã yêu cầu mã hóa dựa trên tệp trên tất cả các thiết bị mới chạy android 10 trở lên (nguồn https://source.android.com/security/encryption/file-based )
Tất cả những gì cần nói, tôi đã tách bộ vô hiệu hóa đa năng và bỏ mã vô hiệu hóa mã hóa. Cài đặt nó trong twrp giống như bạn làm với bất kỳ zip nào khác.

new Mate10 Pro - how to root (i have unlock code) and how to proceed

Hello
I have a new M10 Pro (BLA-A09) here in the US, and I haven't activated it yet as I remain undecided about using it. The activity in this thread is limited, and I thought that there were more ROMS available. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I see very little activity for this phone. My current phone is an LG V10 which is unrootable, therefore moving to the M10P would be a good change since I can at least root the M10P and remove the bloatware.
I have a bootloader unlock code that I got on the last day! And I am on build 8.0.0.65 (C567).
I've read most of the current threads in this forum and the ROMS/kernels forum, and I remain confused as to what can be done with this phone.
I ask:
1. Can the phone truly be rooted? If yes, what for? To remove bloatware only? Or are there rooms (xirin, etc)?
2. I think that I read that rooting removes the data partition. Is that true? And how does that hurt?
3. I know that I can rebrand the phone with funkyhuawei. Why would I want to do that here in the US?
4. An OTA that follows a root, requires re-rooting the phone after the OTA, right?
Thank you for the help. I am excited about using this very powerful phone, I superficially read some threads before buying it, and I thought that it would be a very rootable and ROMable phone; I am not sure if that is the case.

1: yes. For anything you need root for, really.
Most bloatware can be removed without root, unless you want to start removing system apps. There are a few treble roms available over at the treble forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble.
Most, if not all, should be compatible. And you have https://openkirin.net/ which are for Huawei phones.
2. It does not. Well, it depends on where you read it. TWRP couldn't decrypt /data before, so you had to Format it and remove the encryption flag in fstab, but that is not needed anymore. (Official TWRP still can't, see download link below)
3. Do not rebrand. A09 is not compatible with L09/L29/AL and you will brick.
Also, if you had used it you would now be bootloader locked. What FH does is that it flashes an included oeminfo that has dualsim enabled. This also changes your IMEI, IMEI2 and SN in fastboot, making your old unlock code invalid. And right now there is no way to get a new one (I'm not sure if DC still works with A09, it doesn't on C432 as of B145.)
4. Yes. As ramdisk is overwritten you have to flash Magisk again (I suggest Magisk as SuperSU is not updated anymore)
Basically, you want to:
Go here to download TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904
Magisk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Or Beta Magisk, can be buggy: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
Backup your sdcard contents.
Go to Settings -> System -> About Phone -> Tap Build number until Developer options is enabled
Go to Settings -> System -> Developer options
Enable OEM Unlocking
Reboot to fastboot.
Unlock bootloader using: fastboot oem unlock ##unlock_code##
Use Volume key to move to 'Yes' on phone, then power to accept.
Wait for format to finish, setup phone again.
Transfer magisk zip to sdcard.
Reboot to fastboot again
Flash TWRP using: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_bla_alp_0.7.img
Reboot to recovery by holding Power and Volume Up.
Enter your Pin
Now flash Magisk
Finished.

Thanks a lot ante0. I really appreciate it.
1. You pasted
Enable OEM Unlocking
Reboot to fastboot.
How do I reboot into fastboot?
2. So, can I use twrp? I really like it and have been using it for years on other phones and tablets.
3. I will use magisk and not SU, right?
4. I've been using the phone on wifi only and without a sim card, so it's not active on ATT here in the US. In the twrp thread I see that for OTA I need the following:
Flash with TWRP Magisk Uninstaller
Flash in Fastboot Mode recovery_ramdisk.img (=EMUI Recovery) + ramdisk.img + kernel.img
In Systemupdate settings (dot menu) use "Download and install current full package" (=FullOTA-MF, some GB) instead of only OTA (some MB)
Wow. How complicated, but I'm sure it's not that difficult. Although, in that same thread, I also read that some people have installed the OTA without removing magisk.
5. Kirin or treble roms? I can't see screenshots of either, so how do we decide?
Thanks again

1. Either you can use adb: adb reboot bootloader
Or power off phone then hold volume down and plug in usb
Or plug in usb, reboot, hold volume down.
2. Yes, it's fully functional.
3. Magisk is preferable. Mainly because it's being updated, and can pass Safetynet if any of your apps need it to pass.
4. You *should* only need to flash recovery_ramdisk (I guess you can use the one from the last update on http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=BLA-A09&firmware_page=0)
To get recovery_ramdisk you need to download update.zip from pro-teammt.ru, then extract update.app from it.
Download Huawei Update Extractor https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Extract Huawei Update Extractor zip and run the exe. Go to settings in the program and disable header check.
Next open up update.app in it, rightclick on recovery_ramdisk and click on Extract Selected.
Now you can flash that image using fastboot (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK.img)
This will restore stock recovery and will let you flash OTA directly from System Update.
The reason you have to restore stock recovery is because phone will reboot to recovery to update, but if you have TWRP flashed it won't update at all
You would have to flash back both TWRP and Magisk after update finishes.
(You can actually flash FULLOTA Update.zip directly in TWRP if you use HuRUpdater, but seeing as the US Mate 10 Pro rarely get any updates it's not really needed.)
5. Kirin is treble, they are built for Huawei devices rather than being just for treble enabled devices.
I've only really used Lineage, but moved back to stock as TWRP does not work with Treble roms. It should work once we get 8.1 firmware though.

Would you say that it makes sense for me to, when I put the sim in the phone and use it (if I decide to), to attempt an OTA update first, and then do root and whatever else? My phone's build is from December 2017, so I assume that ATT will have some sort of update for the phone.
You mentioned that the US Mate10 rarely gets updates. So, then how would any of us get any updates , security or otherwise? How will we get 8.1, for example? Are you in the US, btw? What ROM are you using on this phone?

I do not have a US Mate 10 Pro (A09), but the global (L29) on C432.
You can read a bit in this thread about the US version updates:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-bla-a09-c567-usa-t3775258
I guess the lack of updates is due to the problems Huawei has with the US government. :/
You do get updates, but there seem to be a few months between them.
I would update and then root. There is an update in that thread which is fairly new, but it has not been indexed by Firmware Finder (pro-teammt.ru). You could flash it using TWRP and HuRUpdater as I don't think you have Nocheck recovery for A09.

[OUTDATED][GUIDE][CUSTOM ROM]Kali Nethunter installation

Only should work on Android 10 based ROMs
External wifi adapters need custom kernel compiling
I've suffered to get the Kali Nethunter working on custom ROMs
U need free storage available (not sure cuz I've formated data then installed and it's been a while but ig not less than 15 gbytes)
Here are the steps :

(Just look for miui davinci file)
2.Download it and extract on whatever device u want the copy the extracted folder to the roo of the storage (of course not the "/" folder the "storage/emulated/0" one
3. Go into extractedFolder/data/app/
And make sure every app there is installed especially the nethunter.apk
4.copy the "kalifs-arm64-full.tar.xz" file to the root
"storage/emulated/0"
5.Open the Nethunter app and go into chroot manager and install chroot
5.Browse for the file location which you copied into the root "storage/emulated/0" and it will start installing it will take up too 10 to 15 minutes
6.You are done now but HID attacks aren't working
7.Go to USB arsenal and change "reset" into anything that has " hid" untill you see a successful toast message then save config to database
Done.

Sorry I wish I was able to help
But the tag says [CUSTOM ROM]
SO I HAVE No Idea
Maybe try this
Don't flash any thing just follow the procedure listed above and It may work
Just don't flash anything
It won't work, cuz you need kernel for monitoring for example wifi - stock kernels can't put wlan1 (internal or external) wifi to monitor mode, so you won't be able to pentest routers

After that i had to reflash Magisk.zip again (directly after flashing the nethunter.zip without rebooting the device!) and thats it.
As the pre-build images you get at offensive-security allready come with the tweaked kernel u need for injection and monitor mode, theres no need to flash a 'nethunter kernel' afterwards...it works 'out of the box'
Flashing another nethunter kernel afterwards will most probably result in a bootloop... (tried myself a few times with hasty nethunter kernel)
Ive only tried this with the officiall pre-built images on a stock MiUi ROM.
If you want to flash NH on a Costum ROM, you should probably go with the Guide from OP

Does Kali work with QFJEUXM 11.0.5?
By following the cited guide
https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?48308-Xiaomi-Mi-9t-Not-Work-Hid-Monitor-Bad-USB
I don't see anything about:
- Format Data and wipe
Is it necessary?
-"AOSiP-10-Quiche-davinci-20200526-gapps.zip
Is it necessary to flash, maybe Kali breaks the stock built-in GApps?
-"Disable_Dm-rity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip"
Is it also necessary to flash, Magisk cannot make it pass SafetyNet without?
Also, does installing Kali affect:
- Widevine L1 (dropping to L3)
- 4G/4G+ (by disabling some bands or carrier aggregation)?
One more question, what would be a procedure to go back to stock?
Manually updating to the stock Recovery/ZIP firmware from System update/Choose update package would be enough or flashing Fastboot/TGZ firmware by Mi Flash Tool will be needed?

Well, somewhere i've read that it should work with 11.0.5 too but dont remember where...would have to search for it again to provide a link to you...
- Format Data and wipe
Not sure if its necessary, but i did so. Its always a good thing to do before flashing any ROM.
Just try it without that step and you'll see...you can always reflash to stock if you get any errors, so just give it a shot mate
-"AOSiP-10-Quiche-davinci-20200526-gapps.zip
Nope, thats not necessary for sure. I'm using it with the stock built gapps and its working fine
-Disable_Dm-rity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip
Thats pretty strange with that ForceEncrypt step, some say they had to others not. I did not flash it to be honest and everythings okay so far. But theres a Chance that you will have to! Maybe it belongs to which ROM you are using (global,eu,chinese) but cant tell for sure...
So this one you will have to figure out yourself, sry.
-4G and LTE is working good for me, so i'd say kali isnt affecting it
-About Widefine, well i dont know to be honest...im watching Prime and Sky Go on the Phone sometimes but for the Quality Prime just says 'optimal' and Sky Go 'HD'...it looks great for sure but i cant tell the exact Quality....if theres a way to check that, let me know and i'll be happy to do that for you
-One more question, what would be a procedure to go back to stock?
I would just do a wipe/format and flash the stock MiUI image or better, your backup via TWRP (or any other custom Recovery)
For me, Fastboot by MiFlashTool is always the last option. If nothing else works, Fastboot is a Livesaver but thats just 'my way' of doing it, there are probably many others who say otherwise!
Sometimes it needs a lot of testing to figure out the best way for your specific device, so always do a backup and flash a custom recovery before flashing Nethunter. That way, its always posible to get back to Stock if you encounter any bootloops/problems after the installation.
Its like always while playing around with any OS...if it wont work, you just have to "Try Harder"
Im happy to help anyway, if you got any more Questions just shout out mate

Thank you a lot for your answer.
Btw, few days ago I upgraded to QFJEUXM v11.0.6 (so no more 11.0.5), which is newer than the Kali pre-built image, but according to v11.0.6 Changelog only Security patch was updated
I'm still tempting to try Kali (currently having new official TWRP v3.4.0, Magisk Canary 20416 and Hasty kernel)...
You can check your Widevine Security level (still interested if you have L1) by
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.devcheck
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidfung.drminfo
By going back to stock you said flashing MIUI. - so you mean flashing ZIP/Recovery firmware through TWRP?

Thank you for pointing out these two Apps mate!
I've checked my Widevine Security Level and both Apps showing Widefine L1 (Screenshots attached) so no downgrade after flashing Nethunter
Yes thats correct, to get back to stock you would have to flash the ZIP/Recovery firmware through TWRP.Only if that doesnt work you'd have to do it through Fastboot.
If you did a full backup (i.e. through TWRP) of your system before flashing Nethunter, you would be able to restore it by flashing the recovery,dtbo,boot and system images one by one through TWRP/Fastboot (not sure but i think it should be enough to just reflash the system.img, boot.img and dtbo.img to get your pre-Nethunter Setup/Specs back (English isnt my native Language so in case you dont get what im trying to explain...that means your stock 11.0.6 with TWRP v3.4.0, Magisk Canary 20416 and the Hasty kernel including all your Settings and Stuff)
You wouldnt have to flash a 'naked stock rom' if Nethunter doesnt work
If you're still not comfortable enough to install Nethunter onto your Device, just wait a few more Days.
I will try to get Nethunter running on the 11.0.6 ROM myself as soon as i have some more time!Will also try it with your Specs/Setup by then

But to be honest, and i really dont want to offend you, if you couldnt figure that one out yourself you shouldnt install Nethunter at all...

Ok, I installed NetHunter zip image for Davinci over QFJEUXM v11.0.6.0 and re-rooted with Magisk Canary v20419.
Ran NetHunter app and chroot.
I think it looks ok - screenshots attached
Btw, tried yesterday Wifite to 'break' three WPA WLANs (Private, not Enterprise) for whom I actually know passwords - their passwords are weak like vesna1970 or 136923457
Wifite was running for two or three hours, trying Pixie-Dust, NULL PIN, PIN Attack, Handshake capture but eventually failed for all three connections
I will set up a WEP AP at home next week to test again, but who nowadays still uses WEP. Almost everybody would be using WPA, and with stronger passwords than above
If so, I doubt it is of big (educational) use and I am suspect about YT movies where they successfully break WPA in 30 minutes (or more)
Receiving a notification to update NetHunter from Installed 2020.2 to 2020.2?!
But the Update fails with Error -110 - on screenshots
Btw, I have successfully updated (couple of times) packages from NetHunter app, currently there is nothing to update there
Edit:
Fixed the NH app update notification: open NetHunter Store, Settings, Expert mode and untick Privilege Extention.
Let it update the NetHunter app

Best Way To root ?

Hello, I just got my Redmi Note 9 pro And i want to root! I've rooted my samsung note 4 and s3 before. I don't want to use a custom recovery i don't want a custom rom. and i want to keep geting updates if possiable.

I don't want to install a rom i want to keep miui
At the beginning of the instructions there is a short description how to root.
So, I'm Kinda Confused "If you want to root then copy the stock boot from the latest stock rom into internal and use magisk to patch it, then flash the patched boot in bootloader (fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img)"
So i take the miui boot and flash it after i installed this rom and restore a backup without restoring the boot.img ?
and we don't get updates foing that (we don't get updates when we unlock bootloader but why ? ) I Guess we just gotta accept the L here

With unlocked bootloader and root you will still get OTA Updates with Miui, you just need to root again after installing the update.

You don't have to install custom ROM to get root. If you are currently on MIUI 11.0.10, you download that exact ROM, unpack it and copy boot.img to your phone. Then you install Magisk manager and use it to patch boot.img. You will get a patched boot.img which you flash in fastboot.
Ok, Is there a way to backup 'cause it says "Unlock will erase user data"
EDIT: OK I found a way to backup using MIAssistant
EDIT 2: MIAssistant is outdated any way to backup ?
I don't know. I didn't have anything important to backup.

Ok I found that you can local backup from settings but what I'm worried is losing my efs partition hope it goes right I have joyuse (9 pro)
I have 9s and all went fine.
However, I installed the custom ROM from that thread and root as well.
Now, I have to wait 168 hours (one week) to unlock
That's normal but annoying.
Yea BUT *sniff* BUT *sniff* *sniff* WHY
(ded meme)
EDIT:. BTW what does oem unlocking in developer setting mean ?
And thanks a lot man I couldn't have done this without you.
Enable it to be on the safe side when you apply for unlocking even though I don't think it's necessary for official Xiaomi unlocking. I think it's for unofficial unlocking 'oem-unlock go' which I don't think works.
Is there Twrp For joyuse (9 pro ?) i searched the fornm and i couldn't find it.
The Only One i could find was https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...nt/recovery-unofficial-pbrp-recovery-t4137753

Just transfer the files you want to backup from your phone to PC and later copy back. Apps, SMS, call log, wifi passwords etc. are backed up to your Google account (if you have enabled backup/restore), you can backup some extra stuff in MiCloud too (I don't use it, don't wanna give em my data lol, it's enough that google has it).
FYI local backup will get wiped after unlocking.
I'd recommend you stay away from TWRP because there is no official version and it's unstable. I've read reports of people bricking their devices and losing widevine L1 after installing it. Just use Xiaomi's recovery and fastboot because they're enough for both rooting and installing custom ROMs.

1st time ever Android owner gets a Redmi K30 Ultra and wants to install Magisk. Help!

Hello very friendly helping people!
Im a 10 year iPhone user, but over time i came to hate all the restrictions and so i got myself a K30 Ultra and later today it should finally arrive!
Unfortunately i found out that it doesnt check the Google SafetyNet thingy and i can't use Google Pay with it. That kinda sucks, I never thought about stuff like this on iOS, but I'm confident there is a solution for it.
I found out about rooting my device, but it somehow isn't possible because of the Mediatek chip. But then I also found out that apperenty there IS a way to use the program/thingy that makes the phone pass SafetyNet (Magisk) without the need of a custom ROM.
I'm sorry if im confusing words like rooting im very noobish about all this.
So here are my questions in short form:
1. Can I make Google Pay Work in any way on my Redmi K30 Ultra?
2. Does this also affect my banking apps (I'm using DKB and Kontist) and can this be solved, too?
3. Could you link me some guides how to do it?
4. Is there any danger doing it (like deleting my phone if it doesnt work) and is there a possibility to safe my device on the PC or something like this to be safe?
5. Are their any safety concerns doing "it" (not sure what the solution will be) and should I install an anti virus program on the device? I just read about the cerberus trojan and its kinda scary. I think iOS systems were always pretty safe against those.
6. Anything else i need to know?
Thank you so much! I appreciate it a lot that there is a place where i can go to get help on those things! <3
Google Pay and any other banking apps refuse to work when a rooted Android gets detected by them. BTW: SafetyNet API doesn't purely check whether the device's Android is rooted, as the API is designed to check the overall integrity of device's Android.

Hey, thanks for your post!
Are you implying that there is no way around that and its doomed to forever not work on my device?
To clarify things: SafetyNet is run by an app that has implemented this API, it's not run by Android OS itself. Yes, Magisk allows you to lever out this test by manipulating device's fingerprint so you will possibly be able to use Google Pay etc.pp
FYI: Any app not having SafetyNet API implemented easily can check whether Android got rooted / tampered or not. The app simply runs functions like
Code:
isRootNative
isDetectedDevKeys
isDetectedTestKeys
isFoundBusyboxBinary
isFoundDangerousProps
isFoundHooks
isFoundResetprop
isFoundSuBinary
isFoundWrongPathPermission
isFoundXposed
isNotFoundReleaseKeys
isPermissiveSelinux
isSuExists
isMagiskSUExists
isFoundMagisk
isFoundRootCloakingApps
what can't get prevented by Magisk.

How to install Magisk without a Custom ROM is explained here.
If a Custom ROM like TWRP isn't officially made public for your device then you have to compile TWRP at your own.
This is TWRP and Magisk for the latest firmware on the K30 Ultra. https://mifirm.net/downloadtwrp/166
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------
Google Pay on a rooted device with Magisk installed /is/ possible, my Galaxy Note 9 with Dr. Ketan's ROM works with Google Pay and I believe it's due to the CTS Profile fix which is available in its ROM Tool app. So there's going to be some way to make it work with the K30 Ultra.

Oh wow how cool is that, that is custom for the K30 ultra
And do I install that with the guide linked above or do I need some certain skill and experience to do that. It says it isn't tested yet. If I do a mirror of my phone before nothing really bad can happen right?

Nice!!!
Yeah the only think that failed SafetyNet Test is the "CTS profile match". But I can't use those roms for my K30 ultra, right, so I just do it with Magisk?
Thanks so much!!
You need to unlock your bootloader with the Mi Unlock tool then flash TWRP over fastboot, and in TWRP make the appropriate backups and flash Magisk. There's many guides and it's relatively straight forward.
K30 Ultra is basically a brand new phone, it's like a month old. It'll be a while but keep an eye on XDA Forums, on the internet, and on YouTube. Somebody will eventually describe or figure out how to fix the CTS Profile.
I think I'm not gonna modify mine and I'll just wear my Apple Watch to use it for contactless payments.

Alright, so I read 12384 guides and had a very tiny sense of it. The Mi Unlock tool stopped me, though, and now I'll have to wait another 6 days.
As I understood it, my data will be erased, but can be just be restored by MIUI if backed up before. I'm gonna let you know how it worked after I'll do it in about a week.
Probably I won't have to patience to wait. Google Pay is a really nice to have, but neither voLTE, nor voWifi works on my device, so I for sure have do hack that some weird way, because i have no mobile network at all at home and absolutely need voWifi.
Thank you very much for your kind help! <3
No problem at all.
I'm not sure if Wifi-Calling (voWifi) works with my carrier as I've turned it on with the carrier and in the phone, and it doesn't seem to be making calls over wifi. Not a big deal for me though as I've got Unlimited calls with my carrier.
Please let us know if and when you do flash the TWRP as I'd like feedback before flashing it myself.
Do your banking apps refuse to work or is it only google pay that fails due to the safetynet fail?

Yeah, me too, but I have a very bad connection in my flat so I do need voWifi anyway. I will let you know and hope I won't brick my device. But as I understand it, bricking the device just by flashing twrp is very unlikely, right?

Only Google Pay, both of my banking apps work perfectly. I couldnt scan the security bar code though, some internal google app wouldn't allow it. So i had to put in both the (very long) idendification and security numbers in manually.
Alright thanks. Another thing im interested in is if Snapchat works when safetynet fails. Did you do any tests regarding that?

Not using Snapchat, but I just installed it and it starts without problems. Didn't made an account though.

1. The thing i want to flash first is twrp and it is the file called "recovery.img" in the downloaded folder, is that correct?
2. Just flashing twrp is "relatively" safe and if I do a backup and the device bricks by installing Magsik after, i can recover it through twrp, correct?
3. Should I not install todays new security update to MIUI or does that not matter at all?
edit: 4. Do I need/want to have "USB debugging", "Install via USB" and "USBebugging (Security Settings)" enabled or just "OEM unlocking"?
Thank you so much! I'm very nervous since i didn't read any experiences of rooting the K30 Ultra before and I'm scared of killing it.
Hey Mirardt, good luck. Let us know how you get on!
1. Yeah, you'll use fastboot to flash the recovery.img for TWRP.
2. Do a full backup with TWRP and you should be safe.
3. Doesn't matter, it's just the September Android security update.
4. Yeah turn on USB Debugging and connect your phone to your computer - it will ask you if you want to allow this computer to debug your phone, choose accept and always (or something similar to those words.) Do this before flashing TWRP.

Hey Jabo, nice, I'm gonna do just that! Just for clarification, I use Mi Unlock Tool first, THEN twrp, then backup, then magisk?
I'll let you know and thanks for the good luck!
edit: so the command would be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", right?
I'm VERY sorry for the noobish questions.
I'm going to quickly use this thread to ask how to actually unlock the K30 Ultra Bootloader. I did everything the guides said, but Mi Unlock still doesn't recognize the phone when it's plugged in. Any Advice?
Hey guys (especially JaboJG). quick update: Flashing twrp and Magsik both just worked perfectly. no brick. Thanks for your help!!
The only issue is that it didnt help in passing Google Safety Check. I tried almost everything there is and will post my logs of MagiskHide Props in their thread soon.
Also, now some apps don't work anymore because they detect the root. I hope we will find a fix.

No you will not lose ur data if you are encrypted as PE is by default. It needs PE Recovery tho.
If you used DFE to stay decrypted and in TWRP then you must NOT use OTA and manually update the ROM everytime along with DFE zip so you will not face bootloops.
If you have any other question let me know.

If you still have TWRP try to reboot to recovery. If you see random names on folders and files then you are encrypted.
Or simply go to setting in Security and somewhere says if your device is encrypted or not.
TWRP can't decrypt A12 encrypted ROMs yet, thats why u either need to decrypt if u want to stay with TWRP and manually update the ROM always along with DFE -and never use OTA- or use the Recovery that each ROM provides (if they are encrypted by default) which can handle OTA but you lose many abilities that TWRP have.
If you are stable user of a certain ROM, I recommend you to stay encrypted and use the recovery they provide to use OTA updates.
If you change ROMs like your shirts and trying them out, then you maybe need to consider to stay decrypted and use DFE always and never use OTA.

ah okay, TWRP doesn't show me in the settings if i am encrypted or not but when i start TWRP, i have to type in my password and it says among other things "data successfully decrypted". And if i skip the password then all files are randomly named. So i guess i am encrypted.
I am a stable PE user but i am a bit confused now. If i make the OTA update what TWRP abilities am i losing?
edit: i updated now, TWRP doesn't seem different but i lost root. Reinstalling Magisk doesn't work for some reason.

You can check if you are encrypted or not at security section in Settings inside the ROM.
If you replace TWRP with PE recovery for example you miss some settings that TWRP had, but that's all. You don't need these if you are stable and casual user of PE.
