Flashing Magisk on s8+ for Safetynet pass - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I have tried quite a lot custom roms on my backup phone (S8+) a couple of months ago. Most things worked fine but i kept having problems with Netflix and my tv provider app. Both issues are related to SafetyNet, as far as i know (and or the fact that phone is rooted). If i do a SafetyNet check the phone fails.
So i am trying to fix this.
I have installed TWRP 3.3.3.1 and am running PixelExperience_Plus_dream2lte-10.0-20200421-0746-UNOFFICIAL.
When i am try Magisk v23.zip with TWRP i am getting error 1.
I was also trying to install:
SafetyNet-fix-v1.1.1 and MagiskHideProConf-v5.4.0 but they also both failed.
First question: am i trying to do the right thing to pass the SafetyNet check?
And how can i fix the error?
P.S. Netflix doesn't show up in the Google store. Installing older version APK only works for a few times.
Tv provider app just says "cannot play video"

If all else fails, use XposedFramework, just don't use it as a primary solution.

Google Pay stopped working

Hi,
im a little bit confused about this problem. From one day to another, G Pay stopped working with NFC. "This device cant be used because its rootet or modified."
I use Magisk with stock Rom severeal month now and gpay ran without any problems. The confusing thing is that I didnĀ“t changed anything what could cause this behaviour.
What I already tried:
-GPay: Delete cache, uninstalled updates. Tried many times to activate NFC payment.
-Erased Cache in TWRP
-Installed complete offline OTA. (Root and TWRP was gone and it still wont work)
-Tried Magisk Hide and random app name.
Does anybody have an idea? I dont want to reset the whole phone for this or lock the bootloader.
Thanks for your help!
Did you update the Gpay app? Mine still works but I never installed the update
I've got the latest Google Pay version and it's been working fine.
What version of Magisk are you using? Do the SafetyNet checks pass? Does Google Play Store show that the device is certified? I've had issues with Magisk 18 & 18.1 where Magisk Hide would stop working and SafetyNet checks failing.
If you're on Magisk 18.x & SafetyNet checks fail for you, try uninstalling Magisk & Magisk Manager. Install version 17.3. Install Magisk Manager 6.1.0. Enable Magisk Hide and hide Google Pay and Google Play Store. Clear storage on Google Play Store. See if SafetyNet checks pass. Check that the device is certified. Try Google Pay again.
I don't know for sure that this will fix the problem with Google Pay, but it's what I've done after having issues with Magisk.

Magisk: 18.1 (worked with this version), Safety Net is passing (Thats why im so confused about it)
Playstore is showing me that it is certified.
I never had a failed SN check.
Probably because having a rooted phone, especially if you are using to send/receive money, opens up a SECURITY HOLE, even if you are using something to "bypass" google.
NOTHING is 100% safe, but, I for one, will never root my phone, if I am using it to spend money.
The days of rooting will be over one of these days. Google is locking down things more and more.

Make sure you have hide enabled for pay.
I'm on 18.1 and I don't have issues.
I fought with the same problem.
latest Magisk Canary build was the solution that worked for me:

Certified device, safetynet passed, google pay doesn't work

A few days ago Google pay randomly stopped working. I'm running Magisk 17.3 since the newer versions stop magisk hide spontaneously. (Tried the latest version tho). I'm passing safetynet, play store says my device is certified, latest os, magisk hide works and I've hidden magisk (and enabled systemless hosts) and hidden root from google pay, still it says that the phone has been rooted or altered in some way.
Any other ideas?
Same problem here. Started 1.3.19
Same here, just rooted last week to get Call Screening here in Canada, and finally got around to getting my Google Pay set up again. No luck
There's been quite a few reports about this, but nothing major enough to get traction, I think. You can try checking this thread, there's a number of possible fixes in there, though they didn't help me, maybe it could work for you.

New to Android: Is safetynet still by-passable as of now?

I only got my first Android device today, the G7, in order to run LineageOS, which I have gotten set up successfully. (I can't believe I didn't brick the phone!)
The only thing not working as far as I can tell (of course) is SafetyNet apps like Google Pay. From what I have read there are various workarounds but I can not be sure whether it's supposed to be working as of today, and whether my device/ROM makes that a hard no. I followed instructions and have installed Magisk, along with thesuggested modules (Didgeridoohan, Safetypatcher), and hidden all apps using Magisk hide. Before installing those modules, the SafetyNet check failed for "basicIntegrity"; afterwards, both tests fail, so that's a step backwards.
Is it possible to get this working given my configuration?

Google Play Protect Certification

Hello there. I have a question regarding getting my phone to be Google Play Protect certified again. I have unlocked the bootloader, which if I understand correctly is what breaks the certification, Flashed TWRP 3.0.4-1, and installed Magisk v20.4 via TWRP. I verified Root by using the app Root Checker on the play store (and also SU requests popped up after rebooting). I enabled MagiskHide inside Magisk Manager and performed a SafeyNet Check and both the ctsProfile and basicIntegrity returned as True (the first time I ran it cts failed so I enabled hide and rebooted). There are a few apps that I use that indicate my device is not compatible and it is because of this I am guessing (Chewy, Disney+ for example). Oddly, as I was typing this I tried again and looked in the "My Apps" list and I could install Disney+ from there (10 minutes ago I couldn't) but clicking on the app it still said that it was incompatible. Chewy, however, remains unable to be used.
Since I could only find references to this on this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/play-certification-unlocked-bootloader-t3950857) and the second way to correct this problem, that thread says it doesn't resolve the ctsProfile) I figured I'd ask on here. I already soft-bricked it once and successfully used the MSM tool to bring it back so if I screwed something up I'll try again, but probably only once more :fingers-crossed:
*edit* I haven't activated my actual phone use yet since I want it to be stable first! Not sure if that makes a difference, I don't think it should.
*edit 2* I've since activated my phone. I can receive calls but no text messages. The plot thickens.
Thanks!

Question CTS Profile Mismatch Despite No Root & Netflix not in the App Store?

Hey,
I come to you with a peculiar set of bugs? Problems?
I got a pretty fresh 12G Ram Nothing Phone (1) here. I tried rooting it pretty much immediately with help of the forum post here, but the OTA updater failed afterwards, so I let magisk uninstall itself, flashed a clean full European update and then ran the OTA updater al the way up to 1.1.4, using the phone for 2 days no problems now.
Today I ran into a problem I have never seen before: Netflix on the app store is listed as not compatible with my device. All other streaming apps work. In fact pretty much all other apps I previously used do work (acutally KWGT also showed as incompatible, but the apk from another page worked).
Now all my banking apps still work and they are super sensitive to any changes (except GPay of course, since the bootloader is still unlocked), but I still ran a safety net check, which passed, however the apps I used for testing did still show a cts profile mismatch. How can this be? Is there anything I could do to fix it? Could this cause for whatever reason just a ban on netflix in the store?
Im kind of lost here. Id like to try everything before I have to do a full reset, as that would mean a lot of trouble.
Edit: Well nvm Im idiot. So apparently just having the bootloader unlocked causes a CTS profile mismatch and Netflix does get removed from the appstore for that. Never encountered this on my rooted to death Mix 3 before, which is why I made the assumption that it is weird. Delete this thread if you want
Still any good fix available rn? The Netflix apk alone doesnt seem to work and root is not available yet on 1.1.4 afaik.
