Depending on which applications or games you use, you may need to pass SafetyNet checks on your Google Pixel 7 or the Pixel 7 Pro smartphone. Some Android developers require that you successfully passed these SafetyNet checks before they will let you use the app or play the game. Sometimes, these requirements are put in place in an attempt to block some users who would leverage root access to cheat on a mobile game. At the same time, others, which are mainly banking apps, will claim that these are mandated for your personal safety.
Since it is easier for a malicious app to steal your personal data if it has root access to the system, and while Google is currently phasing out SafetyNet checks in favor of the Google Play Integrity API, there are still many applications and games that require a clean pass when it comes to SafetyNet checks.
So, in this article, we will be showing you how to pass these checks successfully on your Google Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro smartphones.
Preparing Your Device
We will perform this procedure with a Google Pixel 7 Pro that currently has an unlocked bootloader; we have also gained root access to this device using Magisk Manager.
Downloading the Necessary Module
To pass SafetyNet checks, we need to download a modified version of the SafetyNet fix magisk module.
Android Community developer K Dragon originally created this module, but it had to be updated for the Google Pixel 7 series in order for it to work on these devices. The original developer is likely to update their module with this fix in the future, but for now, we will be using the modified module from the Community developer display.
Steps to Install the Magisk Module
You can download this module from their GitHub page, and we will also be providing a direct link to download the exact version of the Magisk module that we are using for this tutorial.
Follow the steps below to pass the SafetyNet checks:-
- Download the Magisk module from the link.
- Open up the Magisk application and tap on the modules tab at the bottom right of the screen. From there, look at the top, and we are going to select the install from storage button to install the module that we have just downloaded manually.
- Browse for the module from your internal storage, locate the SafetyNet fix zip file, and tap it to select it.
- Once the Magisk module has been installed, you will be instructed to reboot the device using the button at the bottom.
Configure Magisk Settings
- However, first, we need to enable the Zygisk Toggle from Magisk’s settings. So, go back to the Home tab, enter the settings, and then look in the Magisk section for the Zygisk toggle. If this toggle has already been enabled previously, you can reboot once prompted by the module install.
- Once you have Zygisk enabled and that Magisk module has been installed, you can reboot your Google Pixel 7 or the Pixel 7 Pro. This is required for the module to be loaded properly.
Test SafetyNet Checks
Once the phone boots back up, let’s go back into the SafetyNet checker app that we got from the Google Play Store to test if everything went according to plan.
If you get a pass message, then you have successfully passed SafetyNet checks on the Google Pixel 7 Series. If you are still failing these checks, then have a look at the root mods you have installed on the device since gaining root access to it.
There may be some conflicts that need to be resolved in order for this to work properly. Just make sure that you give the phone enough time after rebooting so that it can load everything properly, and then run this SafetyNet check app.
