hello, after the last firmware update (G990B2XXS5FWL3) I encountered problems with the google pay. I always get the message "device dosent meet security requirements" and I cant do anymore any payments on POS. Has anyone else encountered this problem? is there any solution to solve it?

Are you on stock with locked bootloader?

Try to check your Play Integrity Checks using this tool
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] ozzyboy:
Stock, locked!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] ozzyboy:
the update history is like this:

because my software did not update automatically and it was a version of android 13 with security patch from 02.2023, last month I did dirty install with odin to android 14 G990B2XXS5FWL3. After this update google pay didn't work anymore.

Then after a few days I made the decision to do clean install with G990B2XXU5FWL1 and google pay worked, (I”ve tested on POS) then a few hours later my phone asks for an update to G990B2XXS5FWL3. and I do it... again google pay didn't want to go on. I left it like that for a week, then another update appeared on phone the G990B2XXS5FXA1, but Google Pay also doesn't work.

I didn't try to do clean install with the G990B2XXS5FXA1, because it's difficult for me to configure all the applications on the phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] khusika:
How do you do that with locked bootloader? Better to check your Play Integrity first using this tool

Play Integrity API Checker - Apps on Google Play

Get info about your Device Integrity through the Play Intergrity API

[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] ozzyboy:
What causes this integrity fails?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] khusika:
If you sure that you are with Stock + Locked Bootloader, you should pass the STRONG test. Also GPay requires BASIC and DEVICE integrity to be able to use it. I can't say anything further as i don't have this device.

As an alternative, you can root with Magisk then install this module. And also read this thread to spoof your fingerprint.

For dirty and clean update I used firmwares from samfw.com. I guess they are providing legit firmwares.

And my bootloader looks like this:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] ozzyboy:
I solved the problem and I will share with you how I succeeded.

And to understand better, I will go back in time with the story.

1 year ago when I bought it, the phone came with CSC EUX, but from the first day I changed the CSC to SEK and fw SEK, to benefit the call recording option. Until a few days ago I noticed that the phone could not find any official update and I made the decision to update it myself through Odin, choosing the latest version of Android 14, SEK firmware, and after this update it stopped working GPay.

Today I had a few free hours and I spent them doing some tests on the phone.

I tried several firmware and csc changes and drew the following conclusion... Therefore, I used the SamFW Tool 4.9 software to change the CSC and updating firmware, and for checking integrity I used Play Integrity Api Checker, recommended by @khusika and I obtained the following:

1. FW EUX G990B2XXS5FWL5 with CSC EUX integrity passed,

2. FW EUX G990B2XXS5FWL2 with CSC SEK integrity passed, but OTA does not work. OTA will work if I'll change back csc to EUX.

3. all SEK FW with andoid 14 and CSC SEK, integrity NOT passed, but OTA works

4. tested last SEK FW with android 13 and CSC SEK, integrity passed, OTA works
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] khusika:
Nice catch! good to know

Should i worry? Avast reports the app as malware.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] llyodthegreenninja:
Hi, I am a hobbies and rn my main hobby is reverse engineering. I have a good understanding of assembly language, and currently, my main interest lies in exploring two things about my device. Firstly, I would like to know why it has become impossible to downgrade after firmware version 7.3.2.1. As an Android mod developer, I need detailed information on this. Secondly, if my device is reverted back to firmware 7.3.2.1, would it be possible to root it and install Twarp for custom ROMs for unofficial Android? I want to try and contribute to the community by decompiling the official firmware available on Amazon's website and potentially find solutions to block the issues we face when trying to downgrade. ^^
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] Andrologic:
I'm ready to drop an order for the new 9 Pro. Switching from ASUS ROG. However, being able to unlock and root the device is an absolute must for me.

Any successful first attempts on the 9 Pro by the new owners?
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] thevirgonian:
Not that I have seen. I was going to get this then the OnePlus 12, but when I read looking (a month ago or so) the RM 9 was completely unrootable and OnePlus told me they don't support unlocking the bootloader (however it seems it is quite easy from what I have read, even on the global version). I ended up getting a Xiaomi 13T Pro which is amazingly fast, but last year's hardware. I had the Red magic 8S Pro for almost a month then returned it because you couldn't change the launcher and some other annoying things. It wasn't good at being a PHONE which I obviously need. You had to take the bootloader commands from the RM8 Pro and put them on the 8S Pro to unlock the bootloader as the commands simply don't exist. Apparently that is the same for the 9 Pro, but since it is a new generation of processor no one wants to attempt to take the commands (the ABL.IMG) from the 8 Pro and try then on the 9 Pro. I don't blame them.
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] Andrologic:
That's a shame. I would attempt it if the EDL firehose files and a recovery rom was available, but I guess so would others. Anyway it's off my list for now...

[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] niveZz:
as of right now what I've seen are only rumors

while that screenshot shows the magisk app that doesn't mean it's actually installed or that it is an actual redmagic 9 pro

i would just wait if you don't have a better option
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] newthehunter:
It's a video. Click on it
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] niveZz:

thanks for pointing that out

it seems to be real

I still wonder tho, how did he pull that off?

It's not like you can just use the redmagic 8 pro partitions
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] newthehunter:
Trying to catch up on redmagic in general. I have been a Samsung user for a decade or so. Wanted to have a second device before s24 ultra as I had started to fed-up with Google cat and mouse device integrity war and ended up with RM9. didn't realize it's near impossible to root. Since Samsung OK with root.
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] niveZz:
i know many oems are restricting that recently

the main reason for that seems to be chinese sellers selling the chinese variants with global roms

Let us hope for the best by today, i heared rumor saying only new cpu replacement then can unlock bootloader ,, is that true?
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] BotchedRPR:
no

if we have firehose you can mess with devinfo

even after you replace cpu it would not boot as it's fused to motherboard
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] Qtr1st:
Yes i agree ,, but firehose already available with developer as i confirmed with my friend ,, only thing is rooting not possible using old abl file for redmagic 8 ,, thats also confirmed , not sure how they can do it,, but let us hope for the best
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] BotchedRPR:
Can you send over the firehose?

I want to mess with my device.

Unlocking is also possible by flipping a bit on one partition, i just can't mess with it until i have it ;D
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] Qtr1st:
Sorry bro , that firehose he wont share with me ,, paid file ,, still not released to public .

Interesting Video.

I see on the about screen it mentions Build # RedMagicOS9.0.16MR_NX769J & Kitsune Magisk @ io.github.huskydg.magisk...

Did they get a firehose flash or fasboot flashing unlock working somehow or something else?
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] BotchedRPR:
zerofuse cpu
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] khaosxiii:
Huh? Only references I can find to "zero fuse cpu" are some old xbox 360 modder threads on reddit ...

Just got REDMAGICOS9.0.13_NXJ69J_GB as it was offered over OTA - flashed (got safe mode and some things were reset, rebooted and it was fine) and again tried: fasboot unlock and again got remote: 'unknown command'
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] BotchedRPR:
sorry, forgot to reply here

yeah zerofuse was cool on x360 too but what it provides for us in here is no secure boot, and that allows us to flash our own abl and implement unlocking ourselves

To get a zerofuse:

1) Be in china

2) Have contacts

3) Buy a bunch of SOCs

4) Solder in (bga package)

5) Profit?

only way to unlock this guy. sorry. no other way.

There are someone who has already asked the uploader how to do it

The answer is simple - take the phone apart, replace its CPU for a fused one, then flash the system with Qualcomm 9008
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] BotchedRPR:
Zero fused one yea, supply is scares tho
[Nubia Red Magic 9 Pro] Cyanide_zh:
Redmagic 9 series and Nubia z60 series are now unlockable. there is no need to replace CPU.

The nubia Z60 Ultra is now unlocked and rootable！

The Chinese developers managed to get the engineering firmware from the engineering machine and tested it to work for unlocking and rooting on the Nubia z60Ultra and Red Magic 9Pro. This proved to work.

xdaforums.com

According to this page, you can backup the drm keys:

"Please note, this exploit will get you a root shell with still locked TAMA platform phones that could allow to backup TA partition in still locked state, having drm keys (the device key) still there. Backup of TA partition now works with tama-mroot avoiding 'Required key not available' you could experience with previously released tama-root."
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
I have not found any other information about restoring the TA, except this one:

TA backup is possible now for Tama devices make sure you keep one BUT there's no possible way of restoring the TA partition so it'll be useless for a while.

There's no working method of restoring TA backup as mentioned here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...-xz2c-xz2p-xz3-temp-root-exploit-via-t4099131

Source:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/hs0llr

so it should be considered impossible after unlocking the bootloader.

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Quidney:
I had a problem with my phone not being able to boot into root/magisk mode.

I thought it was because of a magisk module or something, but since I cannot delete/disable modules without root access, and because adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules doesn't work for some reason, (shell: magisk not found or inaccessible) I decided to flash the firmware again, in hopes that it will fix the issue.

I downloded it via Frija, and flashed it using Odin. Since I already had unlocked the bootloader, and this isn't my first time flashing, I used home_csc instead of csc, because I didn't need a complete wipe, I just needed the magisk files to be replaces, so I patched the AP file using magisk, and then flashed it alongside the other files.

Now after a reboot, I got "Finishing system update" etc from Android, and after I checked the version of my phone, I had the latest version.

But when I do adb reboot recovery or just hold 3 buttons down during boot, I get stuck in a bootloop, this is fixed by holding volume up, going into original "recovery mode", and then selecting reboot/powerdown.

I don't want a full wipe, because then google/microsoft authenticator and steam 2fa causes problems. Since I don't have root, I can't nandroid backup either...

What should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Flash the unpatched AP file in Odin

Instal TWRP if you haven't already and flash Magisk in TWRP
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Quidney:
I flashed it using unpathced ap + Bl + cp + home_csc I was stuck in another boot loop unable to boot at all, now I disabled auto-reboot, I'll try from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Google Authenticator has a cloud backup, it's a good idea to use it.

If you boot looped after flashing unpatched firmware my only recommendation would be for a data wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Quidney:
I fixed it, the problem is, even after installing magisk as a zip (flashing via TWRP) I don't have root access. Pressing 3 keys (Power + volume up + bixby) After I get "Samsung Galaxy S10e" or Keep pressing doesn't matter, I boot into TWRP, and if I select reboot I don't have root access.

Edit: FYI the Magisk app didn't appear on the home screen so I installed it manually, but there's no "Direct Install" in Magisk, only "patch the boot image"
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Right, you don't have root anymore. When you're looking at the Magisk screen:

View attachment 6063171

The "Magisk" portion at the top is the Magisk core. It represents both whether you have root, whether your boot image has ramdisk, and whether Zygisk is enabled. Installed is the Magisk core - if this says N/A, you don't have root.

The "App" portion at the bottom is the Magisk manager app itself.

So, from here, this is what you need to do:

Save the Magisk apk to your storage

Reboot into TWRP

Select Install, then select the Magisk apk

Install it

Reboot, check Magisk, it should show a signature and version number next to "installed" as shown in this screenshot
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Quidney:
Yeah I tried it already.

On twrp when I flash the .apk or the .zip it says "flashing ramdisk" etc afterwards it ends with "done" with no warnings or errors.

But when I press Reboot (without wiping cache*) and start the system, there is no Magisk apk.

When I manually install the apk file then there's also no root.

Uninstalling by renaming it to uninstall.zip doesn't work either it says "You have to manually remove the files after reboot".
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Quidney:
Here's the log from me doing it again:

Written by hand cuz I'm on pc.

After reboot, Magisk (installed manually, cuz it didn't appear after flashing) says the following:

Which means I don't have root...
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
You've got to be doing something wrong.

Did you hide the Magisk app at any point?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Quidney:
I did, but that was long before when I hadnt even reset.

After installing twrp i did a normal and a full wipe, after that i didnt hide the magisk app. (I cant cuz i dont have root...)
