Thanks for the update.
By the way, section 5 the link to SNF still says 2.2.1
Perhaps you can change that to:
Latest SafetyNetFix without specifying a version and link with this URI
github.com

Release v2.3.1 · kdrag0n/safetynet-fix

Changes Highlights Fixed fingerprint on OxygenOS/ColorOS 12 (@osm0sis) Support for Magisk 24+ module updates (@benjibobs) Restored support for Android 7 Other changes Spoofed OnePlus OEM unlock ...

This way it will always be accurate and no need for maintenance.

Flashed the july-update as usual. I used the "factory -w method". After flashing the modified boot.img i stuck in a bootloop. If i start the phone in safe mode, the phone boots correctly. Is the an issue of magisk? Maybe a module?

Rebooting normally after being in safe mode will disable your mods. If you can do this then a mod likely needs updating.

Been running it daily with no problems for about 2 or 3 weeks now. No problems other than sometimes when I get a call the screen doesn't respond but if I turn the screen off and back on again it works.
But that may be only me

I am about to get the pixel 6a next week.
I just want to know if i unlock the bootloader and not root (can't root untill zips/ota available), will my banking apps fail like Google pay (India), PhonePe, PayTm, etc.
Don't care about safety net just want my banking apps to work untill we get the zip to patch the boot image.

    I got mine working again by using magisk props to spoof the phone fingerprint with the pixel 6 fingerprint they provide plus installing gpay sqlite fix. I tried so much other stuff as well but those two were the last two I did before it started working again

    I have modified the OP to make it easier to use. It has been divided into three parts: Information, Instructions, and Other.
    Tip: Read the, entire, Information Part first, then the Instructions for the operation you want to preform i.e., Install Factory image: Read Install/Update Factory Image keep data or wipe data, etc.
