Hashtree Patcher is an Android command-line tool that patches vendor_dlkm.img and vbmeta.img for booting without disabling verity.

For background on the issue, see here, but the bottom line is when installing a custom kernel on Magisk 24303+, verity enabled devices have to patch vendor_dlkm and vbmeta.

Hashtree Patcher has now been integrated with AK3, so there should no longer be any need to run this tool manually.

To use this tool, take the vbmeta from your ROM and the vendor_dlkm from your kernel and perform the following steps:

Code: 
adb push httools /data/local/tmp
adb push fec /data/local/tmp
adb push vendor_dlkm.img /data/local/tmp
adb push vbmeta.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod +x httools
chmod +x fec
./httools patch vendor_dlkm.img vbmeta.img
exit
adb pull /data/local/tmp/vendor_dlkm.img vendor_dlkm-patched.img
adb pull /data/local/tmp/vbmeta.img vbmeta-patched.img

Then flash your kernel using the method of your choice followed immediately by flashing the patched vbmeta and vendor_dlkm images acquired above:

Code: 
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta-patched.img
fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash vendor_dlkm vendor_dlkm-patched.img

Notes

You can acquire the fec binary here.

I have been using a Pixel 5a as my daily driver, since I had been doing frequent flashes and wipes while working on the verity stuff with Magisk 24303+, so I can't comment on the Pixel 6, currently, but none of my apps detect root on the latest canary on the 5a. Since I'm happy with this solution, I'm planning to move back to a Pixel 6 this weekend. I am only using the safetynet-fix module.

Well that fun was short lived. My work apps (Outlook, Teams, etc) are now detecting that my phone is rooted.

Im back on the stock kernel with Magisk Canary and root is not detected.

Odd that the works apps dont detect Root on my other Android device that is running Magisk stable.

Did you use the 2.4.0 kernel.zip from the "official" release post or from the other post I pointed you to?

Trying it now and will report back.

EDIT: YEAH! Using the fixed 2.4 kernel is working. The apps are no longer detecting root when running Magisk Canary and your kernel @Freak07 Oh Happy Days.

Huge thank you for this. I've only one time been able to use a custom kernel on Stock+Magisk, always had Device Corrupt/Bootloops. Now using Hashtreepatcher, I was able to successfully flash Kiri kernel. Can confirm its working with current Magisk Canary v24315. Bank apps/GPay still work, didn't even need to reset data on Play Services, Play Store etc.

Just wanted to add that for v1.0.0-alpha02 of hashtreepatcher the line:

./hashtreepatcher vendor_dlkm.img vbmeta.img

should be:

./hashtreepatcher patch vendor_dlkm.img vbmeta.img

Code: 
1|oriole:/data/local/tmp $ ./hashtreepatcher vendor_dlkm.img vbmeta.img
./hashtreepatcher <avb|disable-flags|patch>
1|oriole:/data/local/tmp $ ./hashtreepatcher patch vendor_dlkm.img vbmeta.img

I'm working on getting it added to AK3, so the API will slightly change in 2.0, as I needed to add methods to check if patching is even necessary. I don't anticipate it changing from the current state of the feature branch, but I didn't want to document it here until it was stable. Thanks for noting it, in case anyone else comes along in the interim.

A new version is up, adding mount and umount commands. There was minor API breakage, as everything should now be a bit more generic. This was included in AK3 as a part of a fallback for when there isn't enough space to create the temporary vendor_dlkm_ak3 partition on some devices during flash.
