Nexus 5x /w SaftyNet - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've recently rooted my device using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930
Done steps 1,2,4,5,6 only (rooted device, stock rom - Android 7.0).
I'm unable to pass the SaftyNet test, getting message "Response payload validation failed" (when using SaftyNet Helper app from play store).
I tried to google my situation, but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
Any advice?

If I'm not mistaken, if you unlock your bootloader, you're going to trip SN. I believe there are kernels out there which have modified the bootloader check so you should pass. Hiding root is another matter I believe.

I don't want to alter kernel, Is there any other way?

If you've already unlocked & rooted. I'd recommend a kernel. There are some really great ones for the device that have significant performance improvements.

What kernels allow safety net to pass? I've been thinking of rooting with a custom ROM but don't want to lose Android pay or pokemon go...

Franco and elementalx for sure, Jolla too I believe. But you still have to hide root. The kernel only Kris the unlocked bootloader from being detected. Safetynet will still fail unless you're using Magisk or some other way to hide root.

Is ARISE sound mod compatible? (modify /system partition)
Edit : safetynet passed with Magisk hide

Magisk Hide can also do it. It's a totally different root procedure though.

Relock bootloader for x727

Hello everyone. I spent the whole day get it to work (rooting, cm13 install) just to find out that Android pay won't work with unlocked bootloader phone.
I went back to the us latest stock rom with stock recovery now
When Im in bootloader
I use "fastboot OEM lock" and it worked (checked with fastboot OEM device-info)
But a reboot will undo it and the bootloader is unlocked again.
Anyone can help with this? Android pay is pretty big for me so I just want to go back to stock stock now
Thank you

Their is a root app called magisk that allows you to bypass the safety net api of android pay while maintaining root access. Sorry if I dont have more info on the subject but a simple " Magisk android pay" google search will take you a long way. Goodluck
Really ? If that'll works itll be best of bith world lol ill check it out and report back
Thank you

What ROM are you on? If on stock you need to flash ROM, Magisk V9, and Phh's SU r266 in that order. Then boot. Then download Phh's SU app from Play Store. Then install the Magisk 2.5 app. Go into Magisk app and go to settings. Check Magisk Hide box. Reboot. Check SafetyNet.

Lookup SafetyNet on app store. There is a couple of apps that will check to see if your phone passes Google SafeyNet.

Thanks Tikerz, i got it to work, exactly the way you said. thank you so much. this is amazing
Does anyone happen to have the stock LEX727 US EUI Rom? My baseband is broken by flashing the LEX720 version of EUI.
Has anyone been able to do this yet? (relock bootloader)
I've unrooted and relocked mine but Android Pay is still not working
May try to reinstall soft again to stock, wipe and then try?

How can I change my Android Emojis to Emoji One without Root or bypass Safetynet ?

Hello Guys,
I have a Oneplus 3 with Oxygen OS 4.0.1 with locked Bootloader atm because when I try to use Android Pay with Root and Freedom OS it doesn't work
I figured out that this Safetynet fails when I unlock my Bootloader but
I would like to get the EmojiOne Emojis back in Whatsapp and Android Keyboard is this Possible ?
Is there a Way to bypass Safetynet that I can use Root and V4A again ?
(I already tried Magisk)
Greetings
Magisk has an emoji one module, root, etc while passing safety net

It doesn't work on Oneplus 3 because it's nearly Stock and the Safety Thing checks for unlocked Bootloader......
I managed it by installing a custom Whatsapp Mod and maybe a custom Keyboard soon.....

In fact, Magisk patch the bootloader dm-verity (which is used by SafetyNet to check if your device is unlocked), so juste flash a completly stock system, check SafetyNet, and Install latest Magisk with the modules you want, reboot and you're good to go !

Working perfectly with the normal way of unlocking, installing TWRP and flashing Magisk
What can you do with root before it breaks ? (Xposed,Substratum,Adblocker or V4A working ?)
What were your Steps to get it working ?
Do you still have the DM-Veriy Warning on Boot ?

I'm running Open Beta 13 with an unlocked bootloader and Magisk with Substratum. I would recommend unlocking your bootloader, flashing stock, then rooting with just Magisk, not SuperSU. I followed these steps and I have it working, SafetyNet passed.

Its working perfectly on op3 with magisk. So relax.
You must check magisk hide in magisk settings ofc.
Running latest freedomOS CE and all good. Magisk, safetynet, V4A, abblock, substratum. All working.
So stop saying it doesnt work with unlocked bootloader, thats just bull****.
Update to latest version of Freedom OS.
I think you should try updating your ROM to latest version of Freedom OS. Has everything you need.
Thanks Guys
It works

Does Android Pay still work when rooted?

Some work with root. what about the 1+5T?
Im using tez,phone pay rooted with magisk.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5010 using Tapatalk
Dunno if this is the same on 4.7.6 but running the Open Beta 2 and it works when rooted with Magisk and, but not when I have no root. So I guess it's detecting the bootloader status and thus, magisk will work.
I'm using it right now with magsik 15.3. If u unlock the boot loader u will never pass safety net which is requires to use these applications. But if u flash magisk it will pass safety net and u will be able to use it. Super su won't work

Just so OP doesn't get the wrong idea: You have to unlock the bootloader for any root method. And once you root, you should never ever re-lock the bootloader (unless you flash completely back to stock).
Magisk root method will allow cloaking both the bootloader status and root so that Android Pay works perfectly. I've never had an issue.
Yea I'll echo what's been said. Android pay has worked on my op3 and now my 5t rooted, with magisk hide.

New 2XL - Starting out info..

Hi Guys,
Forgive the noobie Question; I am searching, but I’m after verification and advice;
I’m very new - I’ve just purchased myself a Pixel 2XL 128Gb today.
I’m coming from a Note 4, that had Magisk and systemless Xposed. (And TWRP)
From what I’ve researched so far, I can install root via Magisk, following this procedure;
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-and-root-the-google-pixel-2-and-pixel-2-xl/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/development/2017-11-6-root-pixel-2-xl-t3701176
And possibly get Xposed via here;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268 (anyone know which version?)
My questions are, for those who have a Pixel 2 XL, and are Rooted/Xposed..
1) Are these the best guides to follow?
2) Should I back anything up (EFS/IMEI etc) before I do any modding? If so, how? (when it’s unrooted / locked)
3) Is there any point having TWRP?
(I used to use this for backup / restore / flashing, but I can flash stuff via ADB, is there any advantage to having it?
I would like to update OS as updates come along, but if TWRP is going to cause issues, then I can go without..)
4) is it safe to use Xposed? I have a few modules I want to continue using, but read it can cause issues. What’s the safest way to set this up.
5) Is there anything else I should know / consider before I set this up / unlock / root / xpose etc?
6) Should I stay on stock, or change Kernel? Which Kernels are considered the best for the 2XL?
(I may have more questions..)
Thanks in Advance!

Dang! That's a lot of questions! Lets see....
1. Look at this guide...https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-unlock-flash-root-pixel-2-xl-t3702418
2. Backup EFS after twrp is installed.
3. I like twrp to backup/restore and flash kernels and magisk. Monthly updates won't harm twrp, you just install it again.
4. Many use exposed without issue. Follow the guide you already have.
5. Make sure you unlock _critical when you unlock the bootloader.
6. I like custom kernels. Flash kernel is the most popular, and is updated regularly.
7. Next question ?

Thank you very much Badger50! I'm very keen to play with this, but obviously don't want to brick it!
What's the best 'Order of operation'?
Unlock > Flash TWRP > Backup > Flash Magisk > Flash Kernel > Flash Xposed?

Run BOTH bootloader unlocking commands, this will wipe your phone!!
Reboot, then do a minimal setup, leaving your lock screen set to either swipe or none.
Fastboot twrp, once in twrp, flash the twrp installer zip, then the kernel zip(optional) then the magisk zip. Reboot and you should be rooted.
Then go ahead with your xposed installation

Bugger.
Ah.. The kernel only hides bootloader unlock, not xposed.
Can safetynet be "untripped" if a new method of hiding xposed is developed?
Apart from 'Banking' etc, is there any benefit to keeping safetynet?
(i tend use xposed mods more than nfc payment apps)

The Devs are always working on things for xposed and magisk, so maybe someday a true fix can be found. However, as of now, it's either...don't use exposed and use your banking apps, or, use xposed, and pull out your credit card :good:

If you depend on Google Pay or an app that requires SafetyNet validation, then you can't use Xposed. The purpose of SafetyNet is to check the integrity of the system, and installing Xposed framework changes that. There is no way around it.
However, some Xposed mods are available as Magisk modules, which remain hidden from SafetyNet. Open Magisk, tap the hamburger menu at top left and check the "Downloads" list. If the mod you want is not listed, then you must install Xposed and give up SafetyNet. Unfortunately, that is just the way it is.
I understand why people prefer using their bank's phone app instead of using a web browser.
But I don't use my bank's app because if I lose my phone, I don't want the person that finds it to know I which bank I use. That is just one step closer to someone gaining access to my account.
Huge Thanks for your reply @Badger50!
Managed to sucessfully install TWRP, Magisk, Flash Kernel and xposed, all without issue.
Cheers Mate, very appreciate your answers & tips.
Not fussed to lose SafetyNet. Still use cards when shopping, and much prefer xposed functionality.
Hey Guys,
I got a System message that says my XL tried to install a critical update and failed.
I assume this is because I'm running the FLASH kernel.
My question is do I need to flash this, or will the patches be incorporated into a FLASH release at some point?
Do other people bother with these? or just swipe away?
Cheers!

I am passing with OOS xxnolimitsxx with magisk.
I'm passing with Lineage OS latest build. No Root. But you must use custom kernel as stock kernel does not cover up unlocked bootloader.

Get rid of magisk. It's unreliable! Had it fail many many times when it comes to Google pay.
All I've done though, on a clean device, Flash lineage build, Flash gapps, Flash custom kernel. Franco, new kernel, Blu spark, whatever you like. Boot up. You'll pass safetynet.
Remove XPosed. It's detected by SafetyNet.

You can run magisk if you want, but just realize it's not the most reliable for covering itself up from safetynet. I've been screwed multiple times by it and that's why I don't bother with it anymore.
I am surprised everyone is having bad experience with magisk.. I haven't had an issue yet with safety net or Google pay.. Xposed is what's causing the issue
