[GUIDE][6/27/17] Magisk V13 + Rom + Passing SafetyNet + Working Modules for Pixel

I am creating this guide for Magisk v13 and working modules. Please let me know if there are additional ROMs that this guide works with, but I am trying to keep the steps as simple as possible.
Magisk Installation Instructions:
Download Latest PureNexus / PA ROM and follow those instructions
Boot into the ROM and go through the initial set up, at this point verify that SafetyNet is passing. If it is not you may need to factory reset and re-install your ROM.
Reboot into TWRP
Flash the attached modified Magisk-v13-Pixel (from Goodwin_c)
Flash the attached verified boot signer (from Chainfire)
Reboot the System
Uninstall the version of Magisk Manager that shows up in the drawer
Install the attached version of MagiskManager_v13_new5.apk (from Goodwin_c)
Open Magisk Manager (you may need to wait a bit, I had to clear it from my recents a few times before it launched and asked for file system permissions)
Go to the app settings and tick on Magisk Hide
Re-run SafetyNet and verify it's passing

Working Modules
I will create a video guide on how to modify modules to work with the Pixel phones until Magisk is fully updated to support Pixel.
Modules I have modified to work with Pixel:
Emoji One - systemlessly replaces emojie font with Emoji One.
Tethering Enabler - enables tethering on phones where it is disabled by the manufacturer/provider.

Is v13 working for you. I tried it when he first released it. Very glitchy. Went back to 12. A few of us did. That and we couldn't restore a backup with TB.

These still looks like the ones @goodwin_c created. If that's the case, then yes, it's very glitchy and you are better off sticking to v12. It is a good starting point though and hopefully he can get an updated v13 working soon!

I was just curious why a guide was made with V13 this might scare people off wanting to run magisk on a pixel V12 is way more stable

I haven't had any issues yet, but I've only been using it for a few days. I have the Arise module installed and have been using Dolby Atmos while maintaining a clean SafetyNet

What rom are you using? The issue I came across that Goodwin confirmed was that root seemed to work, but apps like Titanium Backup didnt work properly. Are you running any apps that require root? And do they seem to perform correctly?
It also looks like he released a v13_new5.apk on his AFH account. Are you still using new1? Just curious if the new5 version might fix any previous issues.

Yeah, I haven't tried Titanium backup, I'm using Solid Explorer and Greenify with root and they seem to work alright. I am still using new1, I will update to new5 and play with Titanium to see if I can get it to backup and reinstall an app

Only custom rom? Anyone tried on stock image?

Excuse me, may I know is there a thread by Goodwin_c publishing the modified Magisk?
I just want to keep updated to his modification.
I have been using his modified Magisk v12, but finding it from RR thread.
There is no way to know if it is updated or not.

The zip failed to flash for me. Couldn't unpack boot image.
Pixel running PN 7.1.1, twrp RC1.

The stock image should most likely work, if it works for you or someone else in this thread let me know and I'll update the OP.

I'll update the post date in brackets when I make updates here. Goodwin_c does not have his own thread, so I've just been monitoring his android file host account. The original poster has not updated or maintained his guide from the RR thread, so I created a new one to be as up-to-date as possible and include modules as I modify them.

I've included both of those. I basically have been using beyond compare to compare the arise module that works with pixel to other modules and re-zipping them and testing with my device.

I see. Thanks.
Btw do you know the difference between v1 and v5 apk?
It seems MagiskHide is gone on v5?

I have tried Magisk-V13 on Pixel-XL with stock ROM.
I haven't tried it with stock kernel, since SafetyNet won't pass (as far as I understand).
Tested with Elemental-X + MagiskManager-v1, SafetyNet does not pass. App always says "cannot use Play service"
Tested with Kirisakura-Rebase-1.36 + MagiskManager-v1, SafetyNet passes.
MagiskManager-v5 does not come with MagiskHide, so I assume it cannot handle SafetyNet.
Both MagiskManager v1 and v5 loads very slowly.
Before the UI could be used normally (it means Magisk is loaded?), ROOT cannot be obtained.
So those boot-up root-required action would probably fail.

what is your daily driver rom? (g4 play)

Very curious to see the community response . also list kernel , mods, etc if you will! Thank yall

Stock rom with xposed is best . Enough said .

Used to use Zephyr, now I tend to find myself on Lineage or AICP, and kernel depends on what I feel like flashing AICP is what I mainly end up using nowadays

Xposed is not available for Nougat . On Marshmallow u just have to root your phone , flash the xposed framework and install the xposed apk and then download modules from the download section

I am currently using Pure Nexus as my daily driver. Not too many mods over stock except for Pixel features that I prefer. Only thing I miss from Stock ROM is Moto Active Display. Ambient display is not even close. Oh yeah, no custom kernel or root. I'm getting like 6hrs screen on time with this ROM. On Stock ROM I only got 4.5 to 5 hrs.

Installed RR and AospEX today . both have problem in audio recording on video

The only ROM that I've used that has a lockscreen even close to Moto's Stock ROM is crDroid V3.4

ViperOS, it's a very stable and nice ROM!

I haven't tried that one yet.

I've switched over to the PureNexus ROM, one of the smoothest I have ever used for our device. Had to get a few third party apps in order for it to fully work, but after that I haven't had any problems at all with it. No root currently either, I had problems in the past with Safetynet even with the setting to hide root.

Air rom unfortunately you can't use some apps due to prerooted rom.
The first rom I used it but if you use any note 7 port the old ui seems outdated. I wish I could unroot someway the Air Rom which I use for daily driver but unfortunately I can't use an app that I need because it's prerooted.

Why dont U ask dev to Unroot it 4 u???? Give it a try. And as always U can unroot it by installing non rooted kernel after installing rom or inject non rooted kernel into Rom.zip. But, ask Dev, rom is great.
And, Note 7 Ports 4 me r better than s8 etc ports

When you are saying some apps are you talking about safetynet getting tripped? Why not just flash Spacelemon non-rooted and flash latest magisk with prop hide module to get it to work. I was able to pass safetynet with the latest version of AirRom at the time.

No worries for you being a newbie, but I just wanted to clarify that you can actually use restricted apps like Snapchat (created a burner account since I don't use it), Netflix, and Android Pay, etc.
Requirements:
- Lastest build from Bonuzzz (Mar.)
- Some basic knowledge on working Magisk
- Download Terminal app
- Possibly a third party file manager (ex. Solid Explorer, ES Files Explorer, etc.)
Steps:
- You need to download this and flash it in your recovery to remove pre-root from your device. https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/su/addonsu-remove-15.1-arm-signed.zip
- Head over to the Magisk thread and download the latest version of Magisk (16.0). https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
- Flash Magisk in your recovery and and open the Magisk Manager and update it when prompted.
- Head over back to the Magisk thread and download the MagiskHide Props Config module. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-simple-t3765199
- Open back up Magisk Manager click on the three dashes on the top left and click on the modules tab. Press the button that shows a plus sign and locate the module that you downloaded/saved on your device.
- It should then start flashing through the manager and prompt you to reboot.
- After reboot, download any terminal app (preferably Termux) and open it.
- Type in "Su" and grant it root access. Next, type "props" and it should open up onto an interface.
- Type in "1" to change your device fingerprint and type in "f" to pick a certified fingerprint.
- From here, you can choose whichever certified fingerprint your device wants to be recognized as (I used Samsung Note 5).
- After choosing your certified fingerprint, it will ask you to reboot.
- After reboot, head back into Magisk Manager and click on the SafetyNet Check (It might prompt you to download something). Eventually you should get the same test like in my picture.
- (Optional) Head back into recovery and wipe dalvik cache/cache.
Hopefully this helps out on your problem on apps not working or not letting you install them. Also, this can work for others too that don't use lineage but other Custom ROMs (AirRom, Nemesis, etc.). All you need to do is just install the latest SpaceLemon Non-rooted Kernel or manually unroot and continue with the steps on "Heading over to Magisk Threads". I do hope that this worked for others, and sorry if the instructions are either too long or really complicated on following.

No even with non rooted kernel and magisk hide props and safetynet passes correctly the app does not start due to root existance.I don't know what else to do.

For me the only solution was to flash the no root stock deodexed rom you wrote above earlier today. With air rom and doing every step to pass safetynet correctly the app recognises root whatever I do.

Just saying, but please don't create a thread like this on the Android Development page again.

best custom rom for x compact?

I wonder what is best custom rom for x compact since tried some roms (omni rom 8.1, lineage rom 14.1 and k.e.m rom 7.0 ) but noone was any good i mean camera flickering, or so... so far im using rooted 8.0 with drm fix but it feels like i need some tweaks or performace cause that old man needs a new coat once in a while... what are your thoughts? maybe i can put sume safe tweaks on performace side of 8.0, it's kinda sluggish now but still better than these roms in my opinion

You can remove a lots of bloatware. After that it's fast. I was on OMNI and moved to rooted stock so I can compare.

Tab4 8" custom kernel help

Hey guys
I recently got back to my tab 4 and installed magical. But in order to use magisk hide I need a custom kernel that allows namespace mount, which mine doesn't apparently.
Someone advised me to get a custom kernel for it but I'm having a hard time finding it.
My model is SM-T330 , galaxy tab4 8 inches.
Any help please? (Or any other way of getting magisk hide to work?)
Thank you very much
