I've done all the stuff recommend for passing safetynet in the guide for rooting, Google pay and Netflix work (gotta sideload Netflix).
But Chase gives me warnings about root and also won't allow fingerprint sensor.
Anyone got Chase working? Bonus: also get Amazon Prime Video working.
I used magiskHide with chase and chase does not detect root.
Fingerprint is tricky. In older versions you could kill the app and keep relaunching until it allows you to enter your fingerprint. I think the app recently updated, so you would have to clear the chase app data, relogin, then try registering your fingerprint within the app. If it fails, just kill the chase app, relaunch and try again. The key is clearing the Chase app data.
For a different banking app, I had to add it to the Magisk deny list to use my fingerprint.
My other apps like capitalone and E-Trade work ok but Chase refuses to for some reason.

Is magiskHide th same thing as hiding magisk in th magisk settings, so it has a different name and no app icon? If not, I'm not familiar with magiskHide.

Which deny list? I have Magisk hide enabled for it, but still doesn't work. Says "It looks like this isn't working right now. Please try again later" when turning on fingerprint sign-in in the app.
P.S. I'm on Pixel 4a experiencing the same issue.

Chase has really good fraud protections in place be it on their credit cards or accounts. If there is fraud on your account they bear the responsibility and will make good almost to the penny IIRC. That being said they also have a tech department that is very aware what a rooted device could do to an account if the devices is compromised. Therefore, it's not a good idea to use Chase app for banking purposes if you are rooted. It's really for your protection although I know it sometimes doesn't feel that way. As for now you can use it on an unlocked bootloader but root will kick it out. Perhaps in the future there will be a mod that Chase won't detect and by the same token they might not allow unlocked bootloaders either.

Some features are disabled (it doesn't specific which ones), and fingerprint doesn't work, but otherwise I can use the app.
Also th idea that a rooted device is dangerous is a meme that I don't take seriously. Computers have had way more freedom than even a rooted mobile device, and we've been doing banking on them for longer and even into the current year.

Yeah I know it's not a popular position especially in this community. Computers are not mobile though for the most part. Open wifi can be problematic on both platforms. Using a VPN mitigates some of that which I use religiously. I still though won't bank on an unknown network. But I do get your point.

I'm not sure I understand the point here. You can log in and do everything on your rooted phone if you go in through a browser. What's the difference between that and their dedicated app? Also, I'm pretty sure all major credit card companies have full fraud protection/pay you back everything. Not sure why chase would be special.

Hi All,
Is anyone else having issues while trying to authenticate apps (or open apps) using fingerprint on the device? (Say Google Pay, I cannot log in to the app with fingerprint, phone asks for Pattern/Password).
If this is not an issue, please let me know how to enable it. I checked in settings, looks good.
Please note that I am able to unlock the device using FP
Help is appreciated!

I don't think there any option to enable it. It's system wide support that's missing from xiaomi on POCO. it was there on Mi A2 (obviously, being Android one).SO i think we need to bring this one to POCO Team's attention. Send Bug report for same & Tag them on twitter if you are there.

Yup, I dont think it works on miui. I am not able to authenticate any of my banking apps via fingerprint.
I guess its depends upon the app developer. There is no fingerprint authentication for Google Pay/ Tez but I can enjoy this feature with ICICI banking app.

I checked. I can use it on my bank accounts, app lock, and third party app loks as well.
The thing with Tez it that it relies on Android's native screenlo k or Google Pin, now the app is probably not able to leverage the screen lock fully (the Fingerprint), which should be brought to Xiaomi's notice. I'll be writing this on the Xiaomi Forum now.

I can't get it to work with the same app. It just says fingerprint authentication failed multiple times before I even place my finger and then it forces me back to using my pin.
Not sure with Google Pay/Tez since we don't have that in my country, but my banking apps work fine with fingerprint. Even PayPal works. I suggest updating the FIDO and IFAA certificates. If it doesn't then best bet is to truly contact Xiaomi or post in forums (though contacting them directly may be best to get any answers straight from the horses mouth)
It worked fine for me but since the last update (10.1.3) it has become unreliable - 50/50 chance of it working. Unlock device works 100% of the time. Tried recreating all the fingerprints and same issue.
I've the same problem.
All apps i decided to secure with fingerprint, can't be unlocked with fingerprint.
Only the option of PIN is available, but don't work either.
It's the same problem as drawkcaB has told...

The problem is that it mostly affects the pre-installed apps from xiaomi.
Unfortunately, you can not uninstall these.
Presumably a reset to factory settings will be unavoidable?

For me it was only 3rd party apps, bus you can try wiping the app data/cache individually to see if it works?

Fingerprint icon is not showing on lockscreen
I have seen fingerprint icon on lockscreen of stock android and OxygenOS. Also in Gpay if enable unlock using lockscreen fingerprint icon is showing on Gpay authentication window of both the phone. Since fingerprint icon is missing in lockscreen of poco make it depreciated to gpay authentication using fingerprint.
Yes, I am also facing same problem. Could you resolve it?
After the recent update to the Barclays app it doesn't seem to stay open in the background so you can't use contactless unless you log into the app everytime. Am I missing a setting in the phone somewhere?

If you go into settings/battery/app launch you can remove that app from battery optimization and allow it to stay open in the background. That might work--I'm not familiar with the Barclays app.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately that's how I got it to work originally before they updated the app. That doesn't seem to work now though.
I have the same problem and the latest app version. However jhs39 is correct for the fix. Go into settings>Battery>App Launch select the Barclays App so that it is "Managed Manually", you can leave all three options enabled. You will then need to login to the app once more. You should then be working. I think the issue is that the app want's to have an active process running but the battery manger sweeps it up as it is not recognised and using power!
The really bad thing about this app is that if you reboot your device (or it loses power - battery drain) you will have to remember to re-login each time..... Google Pay and Amex Pay do not have this problem - poor app.

You have to jump through enough security hoops to get the card into the NFC chip but I'm all up for security. My point is that this is a poor app because it relies on an unprotected process and when it does fail it comes up with ERROR CM057 which is not really helpful. Furthermore no-one in Barclays can tell you what it means. A better response would be "Please login to complete the transaction" or your "Login Details have expired". So yes this is a poorly written app that Google and Amex do not suffer from.
After discussing the issue with them on Google Play and being asked to be some sort of QA Tester for their broken app that they use in lieu of better contactless options I just gave up and transferred my account to another bank. I can now use Google Pay, problem solved.
How does contactless payments work through the phone? On my iPhone, I would double press the home button to get my list of cards up. I have a Barclays and Tesco card - both of which, do not support Google Pay. 'Doh!!
Do you remember which settings you tweaked to get it to work?
I tried the battery management settings and it is unchecked so it is managed manually with all 3 other options that pop up left switched on but I'm still having the same problem, ever since I had my P20 Pro in fact. When I got my 2nd Mate 20 Pro (1st was replaced for the gluegate issue), it worked once and one other time when I tried switching NFC off and back on but apart from that it hasn't worked since.
I wish Barclays would just ditch this "feature" and allow Google Pay to add Barclay's cards. It's so frustrating standing at the check out trying to get it to work, opening the app, logging in so your balance is there for everyone to see, exiting the app etc. etc. and then it still doesn't work for me and I have to end up going through my wallet to find my card anyway. It won't even work for me on the pay screen with the 30 second countdown!
For the longest time, possibly since buying the phone, I felt my phone has ghost vibrations. Eventually I decided to install a notification logger. I then realized that for some reason Download Manager is downloading an image, and it's always the same image. I don't know where it's downloading it from, but I copied the image filename and pasted it into my Google photos and turns out it's a photo of my ID.
Now I'm really scared that there may be spyware on my device.. Is there a way to find out who is calling Download Manager or from where the file is being downloaded?
Have you try to fully reset your phone?
Sh!t, I would factory default in a heartbeat and carefully look at the apps I reinstall, especially those with "access to photos" permissions. This is serious.
That being said, it's an Android phone by Huawei, so yes, you are spied on both by Google and Huawei
I think US politics against Huawei and general fear mongering is getting out of control. If people are that paranoid about big-brother then stop using tech, coincidentally the only proven and factual case of spying and massive over-reach has been the US government, not China.

Where do you think Huawei got a copy of your ID from? Do you think your phone went into your wallet while you were asleep and stole it? And after stealing your ID why would Huawei want to download it onto your phone?
The spyware you suggest sounds both increadibly sophisticated and amazingly stupid.
If you actually are seeing anything remotely similar to what you describe it is likely activity by a third party app you installed and that you gave a copy of your ID to.
Huawei Wallet is the only Huawei App I know of that might store a copy of your ID but you would actually need to provide a copy of it first.
I don't think is spyware either. In my case I have OneDrive syncing some files (mostly personal stuff), so what I see in a notification logger is exactly as you describe: Download Manager downloading randomly downloading some files to your device.
There are 'phantom notifications' happening on a regular basis. They disappear before your very eyes. I think they are all Huawei subsystem actions that somehow trigger a notification but not fully... What the OP is claiming is pretty insane, though. Can you clarify? At some point in time, you had to have used your phone to take a picture of your ID - right? I mean, the camera didn't do that by itself. Was it a banking app? Was it trying to buy bitcoins? Was it applying for your porn permit in the U.K.? Was it your dissasociative schizoid fragmented personality betraying you again? Are you the anomaly? Do you live at the CERN facility? Did Dolly wear braces in Moonraker in the timeline where your picture ID was taken?
Okay, I've made some progress with trying to figure out the culprit. It's somehow related to Google Photos. I never downloaded any photos except that one (the photo was taken on a different device and I used the download option to keep it on my device for a banking app).
I uninstalled the banking app and disabled GPhotos (can't uninstall it), the issue persisted. I was worried because it was my ID and I assigned malicious intent to some unknown third party. I've re-enabled GPhotos.
Now, I've downloaded two more photos, this time just food pics. And now I get three times the ghost notifications. One for the ID, and two for the food.
Good news - it's likely not malicious intent.
Bad news - it's somehow related to Google Photos and/or Huawei. It's a bug that still occurred after I disabled both the download manager (it enabled itself) and Google Photos (it didn't enable itself, and even with clean data the issue occurred).

Is anyone aware of a method of doing only spoofing and nothing else for this phone?
There are a few mods available for spoofing. They seem to assume that you're using a non-pixel device though, as they also "Pixelify" the phone with many additional pixel goodies that Pixel phones already have. I'm concerned that it might cause issues as it seems unhealthy to double up on features.
I've used pixelify, so far no issues and works with full size photos, the only kinda annoying thing is you need to turn it off every time you want to use magic eraser otherwise it doesn't show up as an option, as well if the app updates while the module is on you lose the eraser completely until deleting the data storage of the app and updating again without the module on, easy fix tho is just turn off auto update for google photos and update with the module off

I've checked out those other solutions that I mentioned in the OP and it seems like Google has started using a protection method that constantly checks the validity of certain services and dynamically re-enforces them to function as originally intended. So even if you get a mod like Pixelify to work it will stop working within hours.
The devs behind these mods are aware of this protection and have yet to figure out a way to crack it. For now we can't cheat Google Photos.

I got it working yesterday on an old android 8 phone (htc10).
I factory reset, did not login Google account, applied zygisk/universal safetynet fix/pixel features, test that safetynet passes, then did the Google login. Google photos is saying that I can upload unlimited photos at 'storage saver' quality, but when I choose original quality it doesn't take up any space.
So yeah, it might have something to do with the newer protection methods, but for now I'm fine with copying photos to my old phone just for the backup.

Well of course why wouldn't they figure it out when people post and create so many videos of this spoof/exploit. Dont you think they would investigate then patch the issue lol wow
The OG Pixel gets unlimited original quality storage forever, so any device with the OG Pixel fingerprint would presumably be able to back up photos in Original Quality without counting towards storage.
The Pixel 2 through 5a all get unlimited Storage Saver (1080p) forever.
If I flash the pixelify module,will it work? or will all the other "pixel features" get in the way of my stock android 12?

You can use pixelify but unselect all features except unlimited google photos
Hi guys,
I got my S22+ few days back. My previous device was rooted OnePlus 5.
I was planning to root S22+ too, but then I seen that there is some kind of e-fuse in the device to mark is as Warranty void.
This causes device to be permanently marked as unlocked, Knox will be disabled and Samsung Pay + some other features will stop working forever.
Is this true even if I want only Magisk systemless root? I was using Google Pay on my OnePlus 5 what was also rooted by Magisk.
Samsung Pay looks promising to me, because I moved to Samsung ecosystem also with buying new Samsung watches and I would like to use it at 100% potential.
What would you recommend me? Root or leave as is? I personally need the root just to be able to remove bloatware, restore apps with data, disable ads in some games and have ability to use e.g CLI (Web server and things like this, occosionaly)
PS: Google Pay, banking apps etc. will still work even with Knox disabled, or not? They were working on the OnePlus 5

If you want your device to function as if it's stock, then leave it stock. If you're willing to compromise some features for the sake of having root, then root away. "Pay to play" is essentially the bottom line of all modifications, whether software or hardware. Losing the ability to use some features is always a risk when you modify a device, including root.

I just do not understand why Knox and Samsung Pay gets disabled forever... Thats kinda Apple style of doing stuff seems to me...
Is there any other way of restoring backups with data without root btw? I see that Helium and oandbackup are deprecated

Swift Backup (root version) can back up and restore app data.

I know, but I asked about way to restore app data without triggering e-fuse and disabling Knox

Ah. Well, Android has always incorporated application segregation, where any one app cannot access data belonging to another app, with the exception of common storage (such as photos/media) or certain system information (location, call history, messages, etc). Therefore, it's not possible for an application such as Swift to backup app data without root.
Whether or not rooting your device will trip Knox is another question entirely, one that I unfortunately do not have the answer to; I haven't been active in the Samsung scene for quite some time. I would assume that it does, given how it's worked in the past.
Edit: I'd like to point out that it may be possible to pass SafetyNet after rooting by using Magisk modules such as Universal SafetyNet Fix and MagiskHide Props Config, but there are no guarantees. This may also only work for applications that depend on CTS and basic integrity, so while GPay may work, Samsung Pay may not.
I had my previous S8+ rooted and that caused knox to be tripped (0x1) and recently my company decided to start using Intune from Microsoft to separate work and personal data but Intune kept complaining about the fact that my device was no longer 'official'. I never found a way to bypass that (even though Google Pay and my banking app was working with Magisk). I ended up buyiung a new phone (S22+) and decided to not root anymore or use custom roms.
There was an ongoing Github to attempt to root S22 without tripping Knox, they were able to get SE Linux permissive but that's pretty much it for now. They said that Samsung security (DEFEX) is blocking them from gaining root but maybe at some point someone will succeed in breaking that security. That being said it only works on march patch and if you've updated to may patch or above it's undoable at all because you can't even downgrade
