I received today my pixel 7 and I'm planning to root it. I wonder what are the downsides of rooting... For example, on my previous phone (oneplus 7), unlocking the bootloader would change widevine from L1 to L3... Will I lose widevine L1 if I root the Pixel 7? Will I still be able to update via OTA? Are there any other downsides which I need to be aware of before rooting? Except for google pay, which I don't use
No, you won't lose Widevine L1
Yes, you will get OTAs. However, it's failing to install on mine. Might need to unroot and install the update (I am not sure).
I can't think of any other downside.
For banking apps to work perfectly, do these:
1. Repackage to hide the Magisk app
2. Enable Zygisk in Magisk
3. Enforce DenyList in Magisk
4. Configure DenyList and check all the boxes for the apps you want to hide root access
5. Use AirFrozen to freeze Magisk (unfreeze whenever you need to grant root access to any app)

Does anyone know a working method to hiding root in android 8? Cant access snapchat or my hulu but also don't want to get rid of my root.
Yes. It's called Magisk.
Just activate magisk hide on snapchat.
Magisk works for SC, but not many other apps. Sometimes you need to reinstall the app if you late install magisk.
So because of the new safetynet updates I can no longer log into snapchat on my phone even with magisk disabled because safetynet fails just because of an unlocked bootloader.
I need some way to lock my bootloader log into snapchat relock my bootloader and stay logged into snapchat.
Is there any way this could ever be possible? Or because to lock and unlock your bootloader it needs to do a factory reset this is impossible?
Or if there's some way to log into snapchat and store the preferences with preferences manager or something to login
Currently the only way to use Snapchat on an unlocked device is if you were already logged in before googles updated safetynet came into effect, preferences manager won't really work because you would need to be rooted and bootloader unlocked to use it.

Sorry I dont use snapchat but have you tried hiding snapchat via magisk hide?
Also in magisk manager how is the status of safetynet?
My magisk is able to hide apps from safetynet such as banking apps, pokemon go and ingress.
But my safety net status is "pass" on magisk manager.

With google coming up with increasingly stricter policies of what deems a device safe and rise of hardware attestation for safetynet, does the note 10 face these issues, or do the payment/banking apps work fine?
I have a Samsung A51 and once my device was rooted the Samsung Pass application will not allow me to record and use any security passwords or biometric security. The application gives me a message stating that because my device is rooted I can no longer use Samsung Pass. However, I am still able to use passwords and biometrics on my bank accounts application.
Last year, I changed the firmware of the LG V35 ThinQ I had and Google Pay would not work for me.
if it comes rooted yes , you will have to hide the root otherwise wont work
Everything works fine for me. I'm using a custom rom and I'm rooted. Play store shows my device is certified, and it passes safetynet on magisk.

What is the best way to hide the root?
To hide root, enable magisk hide, and change the magisk manager to something else, like mgsk. I enable gpay in magisk hide, and even changed magisk manager to mgsk (You can use any name, but remember the name you change to), and I'm now able to access gpay. Works everytime.
Hi all,
I just installed the latest stable EU rom on my Mi note 10 device. I've used TWRP and magisk 23.0. And also, I did an IMEI repair operation.
Everything was fine until I tried to install my banking app. I uninstalled magisk (on the app and using twrp). (Also, uninstall and re-install the banking app) However, still, my banking app detects the root!
What is the correct way to remove root access and get rid of root warning? (I dont need root anymore).
Thanks in advance
There are several things that an app might be looking for besides Magisk. Enabled developer options, unlocked bootloader, etc...
So I just bought a OnePlus 7T Pro McClaren Edition and its great
But I would really like to have it rooted.
I currently finally have stock rom installed again (after many frustrating hours) and am now passing the safetynet check.
I can:
1. Install Magisk (as an apk),
2. Patch boot.img
3. Unlock oem
4. Flash the patched img file
This works and I can have root access.
So far, unless I flash the original boot.img and wipe data again, I cannot lock OEM again (without seeing the corrupted data message).
Also, without locking oem, I'd keep getting the boot warning about bootloader being unlocked (which I guess is not so bad).
Seems like unless I have stock rom flashed, the safetynet check CTS test fails.
Anyways, I'm trying to find a way to root OOS and still pass the safetynet checks.
Thanks.
You need to enable Zygisk in Magisk, configure DenyList (walletfcrel, walletnfrćrelrimes_lifeboat and gapps and gservices), clear all data from Play Store, Play Services and GPay and reboot
Hi, Gpay updated to Google Wallet this method no longer works.

Hi, yes, it does, i can confirm on both Oneplus 7 and Oneplus 7t Pro. You need to install universalsafetynetfix magisk module additionally and don't forget to wipe the data of gpay, google play and play services

At the time it didn't, and I had to find the the updated safetnet fix especially after updating to Android 12 and I custom ROM crDroid 13.
What Android version /oos version are you using ?
