LG G4 v29a magisk + safetynet pass + debloat + adaway - Howto guide

[popy2006]

Hey guys.

I am using magisk 15.3 to debloat the v29a system systemlessly.
Systemless Debloat with the magisk module (terminal debloater) means that the system partition isn't touched!
Hence, it don't breaks safetynet (also with the help of Universal safetynet fix beta 5).

Requirements:

• BL unlocked
• TWRP installed, up and running

Here is a short how to guide:

• When you already on v29a and you have modify the system partition (adaway, supersu, TiBu,...) just flash the stock v29a system partition again and don't touch it (no supersu, no adaway,...)!
  Here is the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-nougat-stock-t3659860
  
• Flash magisk 15.3 in TWRP and boot up.
  Here is the Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
  
• Go into magisk manager and check safetynet status. In my case cts profile fails. No problem...
• Go into twrp and flash the universal safetynet beta 5 fix. DONT USE the stable, use the BETA!
  Here is the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/xiaomi-safetynet-fix-t3600431
• Restart phone and check safetynet status. It should pass booth checks.
• Now you are rooted and pass safetynet. You can install and use Netflix, Super Mario Run, banking apps... victory
• To get adaway working and not breaking safetynet, open it, go to settings and set the hosts file location to /data/. Press update/install hosts file. Adaway will ask you to create a symlink on system. Do it, this will not break safetynet!
• From magisk manager you can install "terminal debloater" and use my list to Debloat the rom without breaking safetynet.

Now you are rooted, have adaway, pass safetynet & debloated all the LG s*** out of this rom.
Go to the magisk manager download section and find other great systemless mods

THX goes to:
@twrp team and @steadfasterX for TWRWP
@kessaras for v29a flashable zip
@Deic for universal safetynet fix beta 5
All the others I forgot.

What does the author of this thread mean by "systemless debloat"?

Isn't just disabling/freezing apps enough?


Also, how can you pass safetyNet? I cannot pass it even with safetyNet Universal fix...

So, there is no way to pass Safety net with roms like H-rom g4 or even worse, Los, right?

Sorry, i havent installed the roms and just done this on v29a stock.
Have updated the Op with better instructions on how i have done it.
Would be nice if you could try it and report back.

I was passing Safety net back on the last Official LOS 14.1 using at the time 15.0 Magisk, universal safety fix and magisk hide. I don't remember all the settings, Now I am on CypherOS and still passing with 15.3 and universal. I mod and change my /system all the time and pass.

What is your setup? Maybe with more information I can help.

Edit: also nice post OP. I'll probably be installing Adaway soon, just never bothered. Also for the terminal debloater, what exactly does that do? Just hide the apps? I mainly just use the TWRP terminal and remove apps from /system that way, but I leave some that I am unsure if they are needed or not. Do you know which ones are always required?

 

[popy2006]

Thx, for your kind words.
Adaway is a must have [emoji3]
No ads, yeah.

Regarding the terminal debloater module, it removes the apk and write a placeholder file. The result is the same like you do (remove the apk), BUT you can disable the whole module or enable single apps and system partition isn't touched!

The list above I have written down from several threads and by trial and error.
Until now, no issues...
Wait... One.. Better battery life [emoji56]

Thats pretty cool. I may check it out soon. I'm trying to not to use a lot of Magisk modules on such a new rom (CypherOS 5.1) to be sure everything works. But better battery life is my aim right now. Thanks for the explanation.

Final step, OPEN Terminal Emulator and type:

su
debloat

^^the app list to debloat (in OP) are found in both options #1 and #2

One note: Print Spooler is necessary if you plan to print any documents/pictures onto paper from a printer.

Thanks for the guide!!

Guys I can't run Magisk on my LG G4 H815 with Nougat v29a. After removing Supersu and flashing magisk 17.1 with twrp, the phone doesn't boot normally. It reboots recovery when I click reboot system. It always reboot recovery. I don't know why.

Do you have any Idea?

 

[popy2006]

Use magisk 16.0, that's the version I am using. With 17 and 17.1 I also had those issues.

Good luck
