As of now, you could easily unlock the device’s bootloader and gain administrative access by rooting your device via Magisk. This will then allow you to flash a plethora of mods such as Magisk Modules, Xposed Frameworks, Substratum Themes, Viper4Android among others. However, this is just one side of the coin. Once you root your device, it will end up trigging the SafetyNet. As a result, banking and payment apps as well as games like Pokemon Go wouldn’t function on your device. While bidding adieu to the games isn’t that much of a sacrifice, but the inability to use banking and payment apps is a major red flag for rooted users. Fortunately, there does exist a method through which you could pass the SafetyNet on your rooted Google Pixel 6/Pro device. And in this guide, we will help you with just that. So without further ado, let’s check it out.
How to Pass SafetyNet in Rooted Pixel 6/Pro
Given below are two different methods to get this job done. The first method is the old and lengthier approach but initially, it was our only escape route. However, now there is a new and shorter approach available as well, which we have listed in Method 2 [recommended]. Both these methods should work across numerous Android devices [tested on Pixel 6/7 series and the OnePlus 7 series]. Likewise, it should work on both Android 12 and 13 [should also work on older Android versions, but I haven’t tested them myself]. So on that note, let’s get started. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.
METHOD 1: Pass SafetyNet using Magisk Hide Props Config [OLD]
This is the lengthier of the two methods and involves spoofing the device’s fingerprint to one of the older devices that followed Basic Attestation and were easier to bypass.
STEP 1: Install Riru Module
First off, you will have to install the Riru Module, which is a prerequisite for the SafetyNet Fix Module.
STEP 2: Flash Universal SafetyNet Fix on Pixel 6/Pro
Next up, you will have to flash the latest version of the USNF (Universal SafetyNet Fix) module via Magisk. So refer to the below steps to try it out:
STEP 3: Enforce Deny List and Enable Zygisk
Deny List is the new name for Magisk Hide. For the unaware, it is the feature through which you could hide root from various installed apps onto your device. So let’s first enable this Deny List and then configure it according to the requirement.
STEP 4: Configure Deny List
Deny List is the new name for Magisk Hide. For the unaware, it is the feature through which you could hide root from various installed apps onto your device. So let’s first enable this Deny List and then configure it according to the requirement.
STEP 5: Hide the Magisk App
Some apps not only check for the SafetyNet flag but also verify if the Magisk app is installed onto your device or not. Therefore, let’s disguise this app so that it re-installs itself with a different package name. Follow along.
STEP 6: Install MagiskHide Props Config
STEP 7: Force Basic Attestation
We will now be starting with the implementation of the BASIC attestation on top of the hardware-based so that it becomes easier to bypass. Here’s how it could be done:
STEP 8: Delete Google Service Play Store Data
Next up, you will have to delete the Google Service and Play Store data. Here’s how it could be done:
STEP 9: Check SafetyNet Result on Rooted Pixel 6/Pro
UPDATE 1: The latest update to the Magisk app has removed the option to check SafetyNet. So you will now have to take the help of a third-party app. As for this guide, we will be using the YASNAC – Yet Another SafetyNet Attestation Checker. The older method of checking Safetynet via Magisk is preserved below: So with this, you have successfully passed the SafetyNet on your rooted Pixel 6/Pro device. And on that note, we round off this guide as well. All your queries are welcomed in the comments section below.
Update for Android 13
For my device running Android 13, I choose Pixel 3 device and selected Android 1o as the OS in STEP 2 above. So if you have any doubts, then it’s better to select that one as it has been tried and tested.
Attaching hereby the results of passing SafetyNet on rooted Android 13:
METHOD 2: Pass SafetyNet without Magisk Hide Props Config [NEW]
The shorter of the two methods, this doesn’t require you to spoof the device’s fingerprint or flash the Magisk Hide Props Config, all thanks to tweaks made by the developer of the Universal SafetyNet Fix Module. So on that note, let’s get started with the steps to pass Safetynet on your rooted Pixel 6/Pro.
STEP 1: Hide Magisk App
STEP 2: Enable Systemless Hosts
STEP 3: Enable Zygisk
STEP 4: Configure Denylist
Denylist is the new name for the traditional Magisk hide. You could use this functionality to hide root from the desired apps, apart from the three compulsory apps listed below.
STEP 5: Flash Universal SafetyNet Fix Module
STEP 6: Delete Data
You will now have to delete the app data of all the apps from which you have hidden root. These include the compulsory Google apps and the desired apps of your choice.
STEP 7: Check SafetyNet Test Results
That’s it. these were the steps to pass SafetyNet on your rooted Pixel 6/Pro. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
