Helium Kernel

hi all,
is there a kernel for the Mi Max Pro (Helium) with the patch applied necessary to bypass SafetyNet? Im currently on the xiaomi.eu Nougat rom and from what i read the only way to bypass the january patch level is a patched kernel.

You can stay on older MIUI or even CM14 released before January update. There is no workaround at the moment afaik.

Would you be kind enough to send me a guide, or try to explain the process yourself?
Did you relock the bootloader?

Use RSD lite (you can easily find that instruction at XDA) and full image from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620757667
It won't be possible to relock CN version with EU firmware, so just skip this step
Then you can install Magisk manager and patch boot.img from firmware image provided above and flash modified boot.img with fastboot

Thank you, the image is 6.0 right? Now you are able to use android pay? Can you still use the 64 gb and 2 sims?

No, it is latest 7.1.1 with September patch
Yes, after proper Magisk V14 installation I can use Android Pay and yes, the phone still has 64Gb and 2 sims

The amount of people who have the same problem as me is huge, this should be made in a separate post and pinned. I, like many others, thought I had no chance of ever using android pay with the Chinese version

[magisk] fm radio for 8.1 stable

First of all a big Thanks! to @pocaropa.
This is a module to enable FM Radio for Oreo 8.1 Stable released Yesterday.
Be aware that this module disables signature verification and sets selinux to permissive, which could be a security issue for someone.
If you want to use FM radio on Oreo 8.1 stable with all functions (Bluetooth streaming, recording, favourite stations) you can flash this module.
If you don't want to leave it always enabled you can enable it only when you need it, then reboot phone.
I'm using it and i haven't found bugs so far.
Use ONLY in stock rom versions:
OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.3.0.ODHMIFE
OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE
Enjoy:
FM4MIA1 Oreo 8.1 Stable
Alternative version (if you have bootloops):

Excellent work, thanks.
Straight into Classic FM station in the UK.

Thank you so much @sipollo, I'll use this on my second MiA1 device.
I've one MiA1 rooted with AEX and another one untouched with stock 8.1 which unfortunately still lacks of FM Radio app... Surely thanks to Google ? ... Same happened before with Moto Google devices.

Thank you...it's working

In lineage works?

Hi,
after installing the mod on stock rom version OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.3.0.ODHMIFE, the radio crashes at every attempt to open it.
Any thoughts on why it's not working?
Thanks in advance

Ihad to flash stock version with oreo 8.1, as after installing gcam on official oreo 8.1 update, I relock the bootloader and phone wouldn't boot.
Could you point out where to download the official version with proper kernel?
Thanks in advance

You are doing something wrong. You can't relock bootloader if you have root access. You can relock bootloader only if you have an unmodified system.

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply
Yes, I now know that but didn't when I first rooted the phone using mi A1 tools.
Phone is currently on Oreo 8.1 OTA official update. Rooted with magisk and bootloader unlocked.
I would appreciate any help on a free-data solution to radio FM, as I am currently using test developer (not the best) option
Thanks in advance

This module should work for you.
Check if there is an app that changes selinux state during boot. This module sets selinux to permissive at boot, maybe there's another app that switch selinux to enforcing after that. With selinux enforcing you get errors in FM radio app.

Could you recommend any tool to check and mod (if needed) selinux status?
I can see several on play store, but don't want to toggle with unneeded features, just the one to make your mod working...
Thanks in advance

Search for Selinux switch here in XDA.

Reinstalled the mod and now it works!

The 8.1 updates was halted by Xiaomi so I did not get it, is there a module for 8.0?

Thank you!

I really don't know why... Workaround is install Magisk 16, install module (should install it) then upgrade to 16.4 (or 16.6). I have latest Magisk beta and module works.
EDIT:
Fixed version in OP

does a custom kernel make safetynet false?

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 (the technical name is SM-A510F) and it's rooted with magisk, has latest TWRP installed and is currently running lineageOS 15.1. I wonder if Installing a custom kernel make safetynet false and if it's even worth it to install a custom kernel, and what does a custom kernel do in the first place?
Please answer ASAP

There's patches you can flash and modules from magisk if you're worried some applications won't work if root is detected.

What can we flash and what modules to install in magisk?

[UNITY] LiveDisplay Fix [9+]

HUGE thanks to @giri45 for actually providing the fix!
What's this? ​
A Unity installer ensures that you can use this module with any kind of root solution (as long as it supports init.d)! If you have Magisk, flash the module through the Magisk Manager, but if you don't have Magisk, just flash the module through TWRP. When you want to uninstall the module, flash it again in Magisk Manager or TWRP.
As for the module itself, it provides a fix for LiveDisplay/Night Light on the Moto G5/G5S for anyone running an AOSP-based ROM running Android 9 or higher.
Do NOT attempt to install this on other devices, or ROMs based on Android <9! Device and Android version checks have been applied to make sure this module will not install on incompatible devices. This module assumes that you are using the latest stock Oreo firmware (including bootloader, GPT and etc.)! Do not report issues if you are not on the latest firmware.
Tested ROMs:
Pixel Experience 9.0 - fixed in latest build
Downloads:
Download in Magisk Repo.​
Flash via Magisk Manager or TWRP. Make sure you have a root solution which supports init.d!
There are problems with flashing in TWRP. I recommend everyone to flash with Magisk Manager instead.

im guessing this is for when the screen does not tint when night mode is enabled?

Huh, it's actually the same module. Can you attach a screenshot of your About Phone page? You downloaded from the Magisk Manager right?

Yeah, I downloaded it from the Magisk Manager. Since I am on Pie the "About Phone" Page displays info I don't want to share/have to edit. What do you need exactly? The model XT1676 is correct. Hardwareversion is p5.
I added a screenshot of the Android/ROM version.

No need this anymore, i already fixed this on device tree

This module is no longer needed as the fix has been Incorporated into the device vendor, but I will keep it in the repo.
