[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] StoneTrapper:
That's great to know.

I'm guessing your bootloader is still locked if you're unrooted. I'm fairly sure that's the only thing left tripping safetynet. AFAIK there's no bypass until we can build our own kernel but I'd love for someone to porve me wrong.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] terstor:
Did you try to lock bootloader again?

I think the Magisk trick is for hiding root, not unlocked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] StoneTrapper:
Thanks for the reply.

Like I said, I realise the issue is the unlocked bootloader. I know what Magisk is for ;)

What I was asking is if a full kernel source is needed to build a hacked kernel that supports an unlocked bootloader meeting SafetyNet or if there are is any way of patching or rebuilding a pre-existing one?

There are already compatibility issues with some MIUI versions and Android Pay even with a locked bootloader. Rather than testing every rom myself I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with it working on a certain rom.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] terstor:
I know that you know :P

I'm just curious if android pay will work again if you lock bootloader again for example using 'fastboot oem lock'.

If someone is unlocking bootloader to install custom recovery only, it would be good idea to unlock -> install recovery -> lock -> install android Pay.

But does anyone know if this will work? Is this fastboot "lock" differs from the original "lock"?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] StoneTrapper:
Ah sorry it's hard to tell sometimes when people are making posts just to hit that first 5 posts for access. If there was a signed recovery file, Magisk would be perfect for all sorts of hi-jinx (Like for example on the ZTE Axon 7)

Unfortunately because of the way xiaomi controls unlocking the bootloader there is no way to have a custom recovery and a locked bootloader. The recovery would have to be signed by xiaomi in order to boot it.

Signing system components isn't something I know much about, all we seem to have access to is the firehose in the fastboot images but even then with the way xiaomi have locked down fastboot it seems to require some kind of authorisation first.

I was able to flash the custom recovery with a locked bootloader by modifying a fastboot image before flashing and reclocking. This just forces the phone into EDL mode when trying to boot into recovery. The system itself continues to work and will quickly overwrite the unsigned recovery with the MIUI one if an attempt to boot into recovery doesn't happen.

The locks are all the same, this can be checked with

fastboot oem device-status

on locked and unlocked phones.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] terstor:
Ok, so if I understood correctly, custom recovery will stop working when i will lock the bootloader.

Sorry for the little offtop, but i have another question connected with this issue. And i can't verify it by myself because i'm still waiting for unlock approval. What will happen in this scenerio:

stock rom *stable* (not dev) -> unlock bootloader -> install custom recovery -> flash eg. SuperSu.zip (to get root) via recovery -> instal magisk/xposed -> lock bootloader.

3 questions:

1. Will root 'survive' after locking or not?

2. Will xposed/magisk survive and works correctly or not?

3. OTA updates will be available or not?
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] badrsj:
I can confirm locking the boot loader and flashing original firmware global works with Android pay
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] thedeejay:
I am able to get Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and Android Pay working WITH Magisk and unlocked bootloader.

1. Install Magisk

2. Install this patch

There are some issues with files unmounting correctly. I had to manually stop and start magisk hide to get this working.

But right now, I have Android Pay confirmed working, with an unlocked phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Felixweaster:
Sorry, I have one more question. Which root did you use? (SuperSU, MagiskSU, or ?)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] thedeejay:
MagiskSU
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Felixweaster:
Sorry, which ROM do you install in phone?

I installed the modified MIUI 8 China Developer ROM 7.5.6 without root in my phone.

After flash Magisk V.12 in twrp 3.0.2.0, the Magisk do nothing in my phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] thedeejay:
I am using MIUI Global Stable 8.2.5. However, with the patch (which I think you haven't installed), it shouldn't matter which ROM you are using - China or Global, Stable or Dev. What the patch does is mainly changes the build.prop to a recognised device version and a few other things on the back end to hide being unlocked.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Felixweaster:
My problem is nothing working after flash Magisk only or with patch!! Q___Q!

I will test and discuss with other people and developer on Sunday with new ROM.

Thank you very much.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] thedeejay:
Can you send a copy of your Magisk log? Go to Magisk -> Log and click on Magisk.

I have a feeling that the issue may be that Magisk might not be unmounting correctly. There is quite a bit of a discussion on this (as well as even MORE patches to get this to work)

(and to make sure, you also don't have xposed?)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Felixweaster:
You can find the log as attached.

I did NOT have xposed.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] thedeejay:
It is mounting xposed so you still have traces of it left. Go through these steps:

flash this file in TWRP: - Xposed Uninstaller

Reboot. Check if Magisk is working. If it is not, reboot back into TWRP and flash Magisk v12.0 again: Latest Magisk

Reboot. Do a few keypresses before going back into TWRP. Flash This patch here: Xiaomi safetynet fix v1.3

Reboot back into system, and check if SafetyNet is working (can be done in Magisk Manager). If it isn't, reboot into TWRP once again and flash THIS one here: Magisk v12.0 fix

(So total of 4 files that need to be flashed and cycled through).

Also make sure that you DO NOT clear cache/dalvik cache at any stage!

Give that a shot and let me know how it goes.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Felixweaster:
After flash Xposed Uninstaller & reboot => magisk nothing working

After flash Magisk v12.0 => magisk nothing working

After flash Magisk v12.0 again & Xiaomi safetynet fix v1.3 => magisk nothing working

After flash Magisk v12.0 again & Xiaomi safetynet fix v1.3 again & Magisk v12.0 fix => magisk nothing working

After flash Xiaomi official root

I get the same error log as attached.

I also attach the recovery log in attachment.

When I check the recovery log, there are something strange as below.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Felixweaster:
1. After flash the TWRP Unofficial TWRP 3.1.0-0 Mi Note 2 (scorpio)

2. Mount the /system read-write (I'm NOT sure do it cause something wrong?)

3. flash Magisk v12.0 => magisk working, saftnet false

4. Xiaomi safetynet fix v1.3 => magisk working, saftnet false

5. flash Magisk v12.0 fix => magisk working, saftnet true (before check saftnet, I found Magisk Hide in Magisk Manager and I also selected the safetynet attest app.)

Three more question

1. When you flash Magisk, is the /system read-only ?

2. Where do you have Magisk v12.0 fix ??

3. Why do you ask to flash Xiaomi safetynet fix v1.3 not Xiaomi safetynet fix v1.6 ?

thedeejay!! Thank you very much!!
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] philipp900:
I can confirm this is working.

The Magisk fix did the trick.

Using Global Dev ROM v7.5.11 and safetynet fix v1.6
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] thedeejay:
Good to see that 1.6 is working. I was struggling to get it to work, hence why I used the 1.3 with the patched magisk!
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Felixweaster:
Good news is it works.

Bad news is we will have new ROM with Android 7.0 after three weeks (maybe).

7.5.11 is the last revision for Android 6.0.1.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] thedeejay:
My assumption with this is that because the Global Rom Stable has been approved and certified in markets with Android Pay (Singapore and Hong Kong), the correct global rom will be certified.

Therefore, it will take a tiny amount of time to update the build.prop (and hence therefore the patch)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] Felixweaster:
Dear thedeejay

Did you ever use android pay in real world like shopping ? Somebody in Taiwan can NOT use it even the safetynet is pass. Do you have any suggest about it?

check the settings -> developer options -> oem unlocking

A2017_B13_BootStack_EDL allready have full fastboot, and you not need to flash Draken packege.

I tried multiple times to take a picture outdoors of my cat with Snap Camera on HDR and it was out of focus every time even though i touched to focus. Using the stock camera on the first try came out perfect. Does anyone else use this camera app and what settings did you use to work good with the Galaxy S7? And what custom HDR settings are good for this phone? I tried using the Samsung setting in the options and also the Camera 2 setting.
