Installing Magisk and Play Integrity Fix


My bank app now is asking for root privilege.
Why?? It is an official bank app!
Should I allow it?
I know it is not good to give root privilege to any app.

In the manual it is written, if the application detects root, add it to the "DenyList".

Try clearing the cache for GSF, Play Services, Play Store and rebooting afterwards.
Thank you @snickr for your suggestion, however the problem was a different and more basic one.

When I followed this guide yesterday, the true 'rebuild' ROM for surya was not available yet in the downloads, so I guess I was trying this over the wrong version. Today, I saw a new xiaomi.eu 14.0.2.0.SJGMIXM custom 'rebuild' rom a few hours ago, and this time yes indicating the 'rebuild' tag in the update app. After installing the new rom, and replicating the steps above, this is what I get:

- Safety.Net: all tests are successfully passed
- Play Integrity Checker: DEVICE and BASIC integrity are met, not the STRONG one, as expected
- Google Play: Play Protect certified device
- Google Wallet: it does not launch the warning message anymore
- Banking apps: the couple of Spanish banking apps I have (Mediolanum and Santander) are opened fine

The only pending thing to check is an actual payment. I'll post here to confirm when done.

A huge thank you to all people here working hard these past days on this, specially to @Igor Eisberg , @Kacper Skrzypek , @ingbrzy . Thanks to you all guys we can keep using our favourite apps (dialer, call recorder, wallet, etc) in our current devices. We'll see for how long this...

Cheers,
 
after rebooting i open magisk and nothings happen.
You haven't installed magisk in the first place. You have to download an actual version and flash it via recovery to have it. If you have problems flash orangefox for your device. In orangefox you can flash magisk directly it is included in orangefox. Your device is momentarily not rooted. I love magisk but why they won't offer an actual version to flash via twrp I do not understand. You have to provide a boot.img to root the device with the official magisk version instead it would be more easy to provide a flashable zip that extracts the actual boot.img patches it and flash it afterwards like orangefox do.

I did all the procedure mentioned in the tutorial and still mine still has an error, it appears that my smartphone meets the requirements, but when registering the card the error appears. (Your transaction cannot be completed. Lear more. [OR-TAPSH-08]). I can't print the error screen, is there any solution? My phone is PocoX3PRO with rebuild room

Use an application to freeze wallet, Google services, Google Play and Google framework service and delete all the application data for all of them.

After that reactivate them and reboot your phone and try to open Google play and check if the safteynet checks passes. When th y pass open your wallet and re-add your cards and try again

You may need to Wipe Data for that app (long press to the app icon and take App Details) since some apps cache the previous root detection

For some apps additional methods to hide are necessary, like installing Zygisk-LSPosed and then HMA = Hide My Apps module to hide Magisk app, HMA and other LSPosed modules if installed from the given 'banking' app

I will try this in the tests, everything went ok, as shown in the prints. I've never done this thing of freezing apps, is there an app you recommend?

So if i add google play services to deny list after reboot it removes itself. I think it's the reason that Google wallet is not working for me. How can I fix this. Or is this normal?

Don't think so. Normally all apps should be on the deny list especially all Google apps and services. If root would be programmed properly anything would be on the deny list and only apps that needs proper root acces would have to be configured to have root acces and not the other way around. I did read that sometime ago and it makes sense in anyway. This would be better in any aspect because the system would not recognise any rooting and anything would work as expected.

Did you use the card before the update and it worked ?

If not it could be a problem with Google or your card that can't be added to the wallet. Like someone told before it could be a problem with Google itself. You have to contact Google for that matter.

But when you used the card before the update and it don't work now you could try all the steps again. Other then that I can't help you with that matter because it should be a concern for Google support.


I use titanium backup but there are many apps out there that just use the freeze app function. Look on the playstore any freeze app with root access should do the job it is a simple task. Look for good reviews and root access app and you should be good to go

No, it's a (lame) way of checking if the phone is rooted, you should never allow root access to apps you don't intend to use this way.

You can use Magisk-alpha instead (or KernelSU if your device supports it), they have whitelist instead of denylist

Don't hide apps that are not explicitly seek to find if you have root. Play Integrity Fix handles gms hiding, so you ticking them in denylist does nothing (at best). It will remove the tick after reboot, this is normal.
 
Ok think I am there. Thanks for the detailed guide. Just to close this out.......If and when google patches this again then we will have to download the latest Playintegrityfix and upload that into modules in Magisk?

If the developer of PIF makes another workaround, yes. If you open Magisk - Modules, you will see an update button on the module, if there's an update.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just trying to find out why google wallet is not working

This is the best way to check that doesn't require any third-party apps:
Go to Google Play Store
Tap on your avatar, open settings
In about, tap on the version number 6 times to enable developer options
Go to general - development options - check integrity
You should see MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY there
If you only see basic (or nothing), it's failed

Congratulations, you're all set! Now just wait a bit and Google wallet will sort itself out. Or you may want to clear data of gms, gsf, google play and google wallet if you don't want to wait.

I just did the freezing using the ice box app and then clearing the data and reactivating, but it still has the same error as I said in the comment above, it's difficult to fix this before it works.Do you know which website I can use to see this side of talking directly to Google?
