[Q] Rooting Note2 with device encryption enabled

I have Note2 with stock ROM and device encryption enabled (due company policy).
I have followed these instructions and tried to root my device (via method 1), but now my device does not recognize my encryption password. So I can't use it.
Do you know what is wrong?
Is there a conflict between rooting and device encryption?
What can I do now to get my data?

SafetyNet / Android Pay Failure

Hello, I am having an issue with my wife's Robin. The phone is completely stock other than an unlocked bootloader and unencrypted storage. System, boot, recovery, kernel, etc. are all stock and no root. I have even wiped the system partition and reflashed the system.img for good measure. The device is failing SafetyNet checks, however. This means Android Pay is not working and displays the following error. "Android Pay can't be used on this device. This may be because your device is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader, or is running a custom ROM. As a result, Google can't confirm that your device meets Android Pay's security standards." Does anyone else with ONLY an unlocked bootloader have the same issue? Could lack of encryption have anything to do with it? I am puzzled. I have an old Nexus 5 with an unlocked bootloader, rooted, with no encryption and I am still able to toggle root and pass SafetyNet checks. Anyone else have a similar issue? If this is the case, she might as well have root and the advantages (as well as the potential hazards) that come with it.
Your wifes robin has an unlocked bootloader and you had to batch the kernel (boot.img) if she is still running stock os.
This is enough to trigger saftynet. If you want to pass saftynet again I suggest you go back to full stock or you flash magisk
( https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk ) and the phh supersu module. then you could activate magisk hide in the settings and you will pass saftynet. Thats what I am doing to play Pokemon Go

Thanks for the response and link. I ran the OEM unlock command and have since flashed the boot.img from the official Nextbit factory images. So unless that boot.img is itself patched, then I should be stock (other than the unlocked bootloader of course). That is likely the issue, but I want to see if anyone else who is stock with an unlocked bootloader has the same issue.
Then read this: https://www.xda-developers.com/sult...otloader-check-on-latest-cm13-builds-for-op3/
Then you will understand that an unlocked bootloader by itself can trigger saftynet. magisk removes the the verified boot flag.
Another easy solution is to just lock the bootloader using the oem lock command. This will not wipe the device like unlocking does.
So to be clear, my choices to get SafetyNet to pass are to:
OEM lock thus returning to complete stock or
Flash a modified kernel to suppress the bootloader unlocked flag or
Flash Magisk and phh root and activate Magisk hide
If I do the last option, do I also need a modified kernel or will this hide the bootloader unlock status from SafetyNet with the stock kernel? Thanks for the feedback.

Unlocking and Relocking bootloader with Camera2 API

I'm looking to unlock my bootloader to try and install gcam following this: technobuzz.net/ google-camera-without-root/ however I've never unlocked bootloader before and every time I go to I get put off by the warning messages...
Sooo I wanted to know if i unlock bootloader, enable Camera2 API and install gcam could I still lock bootloader afterwards or will it reverse everything?
is it worth it? or should i be worried about malware.. I don't intend to use roms ect.. I'd just like a fairly decent camera..
Also does anyone have any experience with Pokemon Go working with unlocked bootloader?
Thanks for any help.x
You have to flash fastboot ROM to relock bootloader and this will erase everything
Say you have enabled camera2api and kept unlocked bootloader, whenever you get new update build.prop will overwritten with original build.prop so you will loose camera2api

reverting root access

Question, I used root access to enable VoWIFI capability on my Xiaomi Mi Mix2s. If I were to unroot the device and disable the bootloader unlock would I lose my changes. I want to do this so I can use my mobile banking apps and netflix, but I dont want to lose the VoWIFI capability I've enabled.
Thanks

unlocking bootloader and widevine

Hi , I would like to unlock the bootloader ->root(magisk)-> install viper4android and blocking ad module.I have updated to 12.0.1.0(RJSEUXM) (android 11) completely stock.
What about the widevine L1 ? If i unlock the bootloader i lose the L1 forever or only when unlocked or only when phone is rooted.
Is there any module for the device to be in L1 state and rooted?
Has anyone tested it?

Edit - retested and it's L1
Because I had vanced installed it shows as L3
For some reason Mi 10T lite maintains L1 widevine with unlocked bootloader. I always use Magisk hide, so it might contribute to the fact that L1 still works. I've just checked it on my 12.0.1.0 RJSEUXM with DRM info app and Netflix, both reporting L1.
@_mysiak_ so its safe to root. Might have you installed viper4android with this version? is working properly?

Yes, I am using Viper on a daily basis. With recent Magisk versions it might need a fix - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-viper4android-miui-12-magisk-21-1.4203489/
