Is there an Android phone that supports dual boot? I would like to have that so can use Lineage or something similar and only boot into Google android when I need to use banking app or government ID that requires the safetynet antifeture. This would free me from carrying two phones. But I suppose a locked down bootloader can not support dual boot and an unlocked will not support the safetynet antifeature.
Use Magisk, it bypasses SafetyNet. No need for dual boot https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk
You must install the Universal SafetyNet Fix afterwards https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix
Tkank you. I already had magisk. I tried installing the safetynet-fix, bit unfortunately it did not resolve the issue on my Xiaomi Mi A2 phone.
On more exotic devices, you have to spoof your device ID as well https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagiskHidePropsConf
Tried that, but the banking apps still claims that the security check failed.
You also need to hide the Magisk app and change its package name and block the banking apps in the Magisk settings.
Try Shelter https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/. I had one app that refused to launch no matter what I did but this fixed it.
There's risk in that. Unless you go through a bunch of other steps to hide magisk, there's quite a few apps that will stop working or flag you just for having magisk, and some games may even ban you from playing. Namely Pokémon go.
Hiding Magisk is just 1 click in the settings
almost every good android phones have locked bootloaders.
Get a pixel and install GrapheneOS. The whole install process is painless and easy.
There is also this about SafetyNet Attestation
With a partially broken screen and weak battery it may be time for a new phone anyway. I will look into pixel and GrapheneOS. Thank you for the suggestion.
I love my pixel 6a. Fantastic phone for the money.
To add to this: In GrapheneOS you can install sandboxed Google Play in a secondary profile for banking etc. This way you can keep your main profile Google free and totally isolated from their preying eyes.
This, although the vast majority of users just use the one profile and just enjoy the benefits of a sandboxed and de-privileged Google.
Just be warned if your work uses Google Chat that will not work on GrapheneOS even with sandboxed Google Play.
