[GUIDE] Root Pixel 5 "redfin" with Magisk

Ok but you are using MagiskHide Props Config to pass Safetynet?

Yes.

This is all I did:
  • Installed USNF (originally 2.1.1, now 2.2.1)
  • Enabled Zygisk
  • Enabled Enforce DenyList
  • Denied all components of these apps (ignore Facebook and Honeywell Home)

I believe MHPC automatically installs when you enable DenyList.
I have not configured anything else. TBH I don't even know how to use the advanced options in MHPC or USNF.
Yes.

I haven't used MHPC in a long time and I also am not familiar with using the advanced features of MHPC but I did not know that USNF had advanced features. Is there a guide on GitHub or some other site for using the advanced features of USNF?

USNF doesn't have additional instructions on its page beyond installing MHPC to spoof CTS. MHPC on the other hand has a lot of information.

Again, I didn't configure either module - just installed USNF, which I believe also installed MHPC, and blocked the apps in the screenshot. YASNAC reports SafetyNet Pass.

Has anyone else gone without an automatic update as long as I have? My last update was November... With the new method for root via magisk, I want to simply wait for OTA update to happen, but I check prolly once a week with no results.

Please resize your photos or use a spoiler.

I haven't always had the update notification, but I monitor for new releases anyway.

If you're concerned, you can sideload the OTA or dirty flash the factory image. Instructions to do so are in the OP.

OK, over the last few days ago I tried several things to update without wiping my device. I fnally used the Android Flash Tool and flashed the V2 Beta 2 file (w/o wipe). It flashed fine, but then I discovered that I still can't flash the Magisk patched.img successfully. I then went back and bit the bullet to wipe, thinking I'd be safe since I backed everything up to Google 1/ Google Drive. After the flash tool I discovered that I'm not able to restore my data from Google 1 although it looks like it is there. I tried to install Magisk with the direct install option but it went into recovery mode so I'm still without data and Magisk.

I just downloaded the V2 Beta 2 system image (redfin-s2b2.211203.006-factory-588d1292.zip) and am debating whether to flash it or patch the boot.img with Magisk and try that again. (I have been using "fastboot boot" magisk patched image instead of flashing it.)

Also, what is "Syncios" that seems to be constantly trying to install several times on the phone? Is that the missing link between the Android Flash tool and Google 1/drive? When I search for it most of the results are their website.

Sorry to be a pain, but I'm now down to a barely usable phone and struggling more than ever! Thanks for all the help.

Google search shows what "syncios" is.
"All-in-one mobile manager helps you backup, transfer and manage iOS & Android phone data, sync files from computer to phone. Fully support Android 11 & iOS 15 device."

You can try it free or buy for $34.95.

Personally, I suggest Swift backup or AppDash for backing up application data.
And SMS Backup & Restore for text messages.
I also suggest making a backup of your Internal storage at least once a month to a PC.
I have lost too much from getting stuck in a bootloop and forced to factory reset, thus I'm a bit more anal about this and try to get a fresh backup at least once/twice a week.

Thanks for your reply, @andybones. Yes, I did several backups in the lead up to this, including using Swift Backup, which I can't use now since I can't get root. Still don't know why I'm not able to get to the Google backups to restore everything.

I wish I hadn't been so suspicious of Syncios when it magically appeared on the phone and computer... More attempts tomorrow when my mind is (hopefully) clearer.

Very welcome. And sorry, totally forgot you need root for Swift. I believe AppDash can backup most data w/o root, but I can't say for certain.
Have you ever downlaoded Syncios before? Maybe it's re-downloading from a previous backup or something?
I feel like it is more geared towards iOS, being called Syncios, and everything makes me believe it is, but ofc does support A11+ as their site says.
I do wish I could be of some help. Best of luck my friend.

I am passing Safetynet with the Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.2.1 and MagiskHide Props Config 6.1.2 modules. See the Pass SafetyNet section in the OP.
Ok, Is it important to tick banking applications?

Thanks again for the help !
