Im using stock US998 rom without root and google pay see's that my device is altered. Is this due to my unlocked bootloader?
Would flashing magisk and using magisk hide allow me to use google pay with NFC again?

Yes, you need Magisk to pass SafetyNet with unlocked bootloader for Google Pay. Even Magisk 16.0 from February 2018 still works for that, but newest I can also recommend is Magisk 17.1.

Netflix no longer works for me as Google SafetyNet DRM detects root (SuperSU, busybox, and unlocked bootloaders). Currently, the only work around is Magisk hide, which means you need johnwu systemless root using MagiskSU and the Magisk framework flashed. There is a major snag for the G3 however, due to bump. Bump is what allows a custom bootloader to be accepted. MagiskSU and framework work by modifying the boot.img to mount a hidden partition. With stock ROMs above 5.1.1, you cannot just bump the modified boot image as it causes flashing red and blue lights and bootloader not to verify correctly.
I could switch to a different ROM like Cyanogenmod and use a bump script to get it to work (complicated and unwanted). Developer support is lacking at the moment, so I am not holding my breath. Not to mention, SafetyNet will keep evolving and leave this method behind eventually. The future is likely in a temp root solution just to apply system-less modules and ad-blocking as rooted users become more persecuted by major services.
Even so, I would love a method of using Magisk hide currently while staying on stock MM if possible.
Oh no! I had no idea Magisk wasn't working for stock roms.
I was just looking it up because I got the dreaded screen dying issue (paper fix is working for now) and was thinking of starting over with a new G3 and putting Magisk on it.
I guess I'll have to use a custom ROM if I do that? Are there any that can pass SafetyNet?

Turns out Fulmics does too! That's what I'm using on my new phone.
Hello all, I tried search the Q&A threads for any solution to my problem about Google Pay complaining about altered phone.
I have an unlocked US998 V30 variant (Nougat) that I almost never updated till now.
I followed the WTF guide using Magisk 18.0 and 20b KDZ file.
Then afterwards, I downloaded 20e, f, g, h TWRP files and flashed them via TWRP using zip queue.
In the same TWRP proces, I accidentally flashed Magisk 19.3 and that caused my phone to go into bootloop error.
I managed to fix this by going using hardware buttons to go back into TWRP, resetting everything and flashing Magisk 18.0 and the other two verity/rctd zips.
As I am reinstalling and resetting up everything, I had to update Google Play Services for Ebay (and other) apps to work (Not sure if this information is important).
When I got to trying to setup Google Pay, it complains about the phone being rooted and altered in some way.
I've tried removing phone permission from Google Play Service/Store (no go).
I've seen people suggest updating Magisk to 19.x, but I am wary of that after my bootloop fiasco.
Anyone have any suggestions or am I SOL on Google Pay?
At least on my VS996, you can upgrade Magisk outside of TWRP. In other words, have the Magisk Manager update itself, and Magisk directly (I think it's called "Direct Install").
I'm on 19.3 now without issues. This also solves the GPay issue, because nothing would let it work properly on 18.x in my experience... you have to be on 19.x for Gpay to work.

Can anyone else confirm this works with a US 998 Unlocked variant? I am not sure if I should upgrade my Magisk again and go through all that.

Yes, it works. As said, update Magisk through the app, IOW, when u boot the phone and Magisk says there's an update, do it.
Also, be sure to have gpay hidden from Magisk, in the 'Magisk Hide' section. Not sure if it matters but I also have google play services and google play store hidden.
Cheers

FWIW, I did not have the Magisk Hide anything, and Gpay is still working...
As the above mentioned posters said, installing it directly from Magisk Manager worked (19.3)!
However, after I rebooted, SafetyNet was failing and I found out it was due to Systemless Xposed Module.
Uninstalled that through the Magisk Manager, which worked and was able to successfully use Google Pay after hiding Magisk itself.
It is a shame I cannot use both Google Pay and Xposed at the same time.

You can use Xposed and pass Safety Net. There's a guide I wrote.
You have to install THIS version of Xposed (called edXposed), enable it, then download specific Xposed modules which work with it.
Xposed and Safety Net Pass -- How To!
(with Gravity Box links)
There's link for Gravity Box, and you can look in the edXposed repository and see other Xposed mods in which you might be interested.

That was not the issue.
1) If you made a backup in TWRP, all you had to do was delete boot and then restore boot from the backup.
2) You never flashed the Magisk uninstaller before updating magisk. This is a common issues going from V18-V19

Hi,
I am considering getting the 7.2 in the 6 GB/128 GB edition. Usually I unlock the bootloader and root my phones (Magisk), to be able to use apps such as TitaniumBackup and Magisk Modules like YouTube Vanced.
Has anybody rooted their phone and can report back the availability of Widevine L1 and passing of SafetyNet (Magisk and/or DRM Info) after rooting? How does the phone handle official updates after rooting, do they still come in OTA or do they need to be flashed manually?
Thanks!
I wonder if camera quality gets worse, too.
I hope it's not the same case as with Sony devices...
No, the camera does not get worse.
OTAs
After unlocking the bootloader, I was unable to install any OTA updates. The system did allow downloading them, yet I couldn't get it to install them.
UPDATE
Turns out, you can install OTA updates with an unlocked bootloader. Though, it only works with the stock kernel. So, if anyone installed twrp or any custom kernel, OTAs would not work.
I have both Magisk and EdXposed installed. The latter is a means of using Xposed on the phone. GravityBox works like a charm
I have US998 rooted and is looking into xposed framework.
I've looked at numerous instructions and after mix-n-matching was able to install xposed somehow but after I enabled device id change, it froze at LG logo.
That was with Pie stock 30c.
I've tried coming down to Oreo 20e and as soon as I install xposed and reboot, it hangs again at LG.
I've came down to Nougat 10d and it still hangs.
What would be the best method (or custom rom) to use with xposed?
Thanks in adv!!

I have Xposed with stock Rooted Oreo. Just make sure you're using the Oreo Xposed.

are you using systemless ? I followed this and was successful but Magisk shows it fails Safenet.

I thought systemless would bypass Safenet check?

Use edxposed from magisk download section
Though there's no guarantee that safety net will pass for the modules you use.

Like @tech_infinity mentions,
edXposed variant of Xposed passes Safety Net.
I wrote Instructions last year on how to install edXposed, but may be outdated by now since they mention specific release version. Probably updated version out there now.
I don't care about Safety Net, and neither does my banking app, so I kept just Xposed on my own phone. Whenever I decide to do a full clean install of everything I'll switch to edXposed.
I've done a bit of research but couldn't find a definite answer - let's say I root the phone and that trips the Knox eFuse. Does that mean that banking apps ang Google Pay won't work at all or is there a way to somehow hide Knox efuse status from them? I'm asking because I'm coming from a Oneplus 6 and all I had to do there after rooting was just using Magisk Hide.

Well, that I don't care about, to be honest. I just want the phone to retain it's functions, or at least most of them. I don't really care about Samsung's proprietary apps, so long as there are Google's replacements (like Google Pay instead of Samsung Pay)

Without magisk modules Samsung pay Galaxy Watch pairing Samsung services Secure Folder and so on. Open Bootloader and root brakes safety for banking. But with the right modules and magisk hide nearly all is working normal. The only is that you don't get OTA anymore so you must wait for development for new updated rons

correct me if I'm wrong, but not all rooted devices don't get OTAs?
I mean you can get the notification, but you won't be able to install it without loosing all your data.
At least it was my experience with Oneplus, HTC and LG devices.
From my reading you don't loose much, Ill root when samsung will stop supporting it.
At first I wanted to root for tasker and adaway, but learned that both are available un-rooted.
-Tasker is routine
- adaway is using vpn. It says that it drain the battery more, but I did not see any difference ON or OFF. Did a 9h SOT this weekend.
