Installation

To make it easier, Green color mean what you need to do on Tablet, Orange on PC

Unzip Mi Flash tool

Open folder and run XiaoMiFlash.exe, if window "Driver" won't pop-up click on the Driver tab and then "Install" button and close all windows.

Connect your tablet to computer, when your tablet ask how you want use USB, choose File Transfer/Android Auto

Copy to internal storage Magisk-v****.apk, safetynet-fix-v****.zip and boot.img

Open File Manager on your tablet find a folder where you copied all files, and install Magisk

Open Magisk app, and click on Install in section Magisk, then select "Select and Path a File", after that find your boot.img file and click on it

Click "LET'S GO" button on the right side and wait until process will be finished

On your computer in the tablet's storage window, go to the file specified in the application probably /Download/magisk_patched-*****

Copy this file to a subfolder of Mi Flash on your computer, exactly to MiFlash2020-3-14-0\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Android and change the name of this file to boot.img

Open PowerShell/Windows Terminal in this folder (Hold Shift + Right click -> Open PowerShell window here)

Make sure your tablet have enabled USB debugging in Developer options Setting -> Additional settings -> Developer options -> USB debugging

Turn off your tablet, then hold down Power and VOL- until the screen lights up, then release power button, if Fastboot appears, everything went fine

Go back to your Terminal window and type to check if your computer see your tablet

./fastboot.exe devices

If you see answer "******** fastboot" it mean there is communication between PC and Tablet

Next type this command to flash patched boot image

./fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

Next type this command to reboot your device

./fastboot.exe reboot

Restart can take a longer time than normal

Open Magisk app and check status of Magisk, if you see for exaple "Installed 24.2 (24200)" everything went fine

Open Settings in right corner of app and in section App click on Hide the Magisk app then type name for hidden app, it will ask to install new app so do it

Open again Magisk app and open Settings in section Magisk enable Zygisk (Beta) and Enforce DenyList

Click on Configure DenyList than click on three dots in right corner and uncheck Show system apps

Search for all the apps in the list below and check them. It is important to click on their name to see all modules, once you have done this click on the box to activate all of them

Google
Google Assistant (I have two)
Google Pay
Google Play services
Google Play Store

After that reboot your tablet, and open again Magisk app

On the bottom click on Modules

Click on Install from storage button and find file safetynet-fix-v*******.zip, than click on it

After that reboot your device one more time

After reboot open Android Settings go to Apps and Unhide system services than find and clear all data of Google Play services and Google Play Store

Reboot tablet last time

If you have reached this point it means that everything has gone correctly, probably for about 3 hours you will still not be able to install Netflix and some banking applications but after this time everything will be back to normal, this is because Google's servers have detected that Magisk has been installed but that the application has been changed and Zygisk has been enabled so at the next check it notices that everything is Ok and gives access back.

Quick explaination what happend here:

Magisk has been installed and device is Rooted

The application has been changed and hidden

Zygisk has been activated and hidden from Google services

SafetyNet-fix was installed, which restores the functionality of SafetyNet and Widevine L1, which is blocked after the installation of Magisk and unlocked Bootloader
