In this guide, we will show you the steps to pass the Safetynet on your rooted Nothing Phone 1. The budget domain is already saturated with tons of offerings from numerous OEMs. So for a new player to step into this domain and make a name for itself was always going to be a difficult job. However, Carl Pie seems to have a brilliant job of igniting hype before the device launch and using the invite-only system during the initial phase.

All in all, it took a page from the OnePlus book that he himself authored and it seems to have paid off quite well. If we shift our attention towards custom development, then it seems to have performed quite decently in that segment as well. Its kernel source and device tree were released just days after the device launch. So custom ROMs and recovery might already be on their way. In the meantime, you could gain administrative access by rooting your device via Magisk.

This in turn will allow you to welcome a plentitude of tweaks onto your device. However, this is just one side of the coun. As soon as you root the device, it will end up tripping the SafetyNet flag. As a result of which, banking and payment apps and games like Pokemon Go will no longer function. But fret not. Using a nifty workaround [changing Evaluation Type from Hardware_Backed to Basic] you could easily pass the Safetynet on your rooted Nothing Phone 1. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.

How to Pass SafetyNet in Rooted Nothing Phone 1

Given below are two different methods to get this job done. The first method is the old and lengthier approach but initially, it was our only escape route. However, now there is a new and shorter approach available as well, which we have listed in Method 2 [recommended]. Both these methods should work across numerous Android devices [including the Nothing Phone 1].

Likewise, it should work on both Android 12 and 13 [should also work on older Android versions, but I haven’t tested them myself]. So on that note, let’s get started. Droidwin and its members wouldn’t be held responsible in case of a thermonuclear war, your alarm doesn’t wake you up, or if anything happens to your device and data by performing the below steps.

METHOD 1: Pass SafetyNet using Magisk Hide Props Config [OLD]

This is the lengthier of the two methods and involves spoofing the device’s fingerprint to one of the older devices that followed Basic Attestation and were easier to bypass.

STEP 1: Install Riru Module on Nothing Phone 1

First off, you will have to install the Riru Module, which is a prerequisite for the SafetyNet Fix Module.

  1. Download the Riru Module from GitHub and transfer it to your device.
  2. Then launch the Magisk App and go to the Modules section.pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1
  3. After that, tap on Install from Storage, select the module, and hit Install.
  4. Once done, tap on the Reboot button that appears at the bottom right.

STEP 2: Flash Universal SafetyNet Fix on Nothing Phone 1

Next up, you will have to flash the latest version of the USNF (Universal SafetyNet Fix) module via Magisk. So refer to the below steps to try it out:

  1. To begin with, download the USNF module and transfer it to your device: safetynet-fix-v2.2.0. [Check for Latest Version]
  2. Then install the Magisk App onto your device. As of now, it is recommended to install the Canary build.
  3. Now launch the Magisk App and go to the Modules section.
    pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1
  4. Then tap on Install from storage, navigate to the safetynet fix module and select it.
  5. The flashing shall now begin and would take a few seconds. Once done, reboot your device for the module to be active.

STEP 3: Enforce Deny List and Enable Zygisk on Nothing Phone 1

Deny List is the new name for Magisk Hide. For the unaware, it is the feature through which you could hide root from various installed apps onto your device. So let’s first enable this Deny List and then configure it according to the requirement.

  1. Launch the Magisk App onto your device
  2. Then tap on the Settings icon situated at the top right.
  3. Now enable the toggle next to Zygisk and Enforce Deny List.pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1
  4. Now restart your device for the changes to take place. Then launch Magisk and make sure it says YES next to Zygisk.
    pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1

STEP 4: Configure Deny List on Nothing Phone 1

Deny List is the new name for Magisk Hide. For the unaware, it is the feature through which you could hide root from various installed apps onto your device. So let’s first enable this Deny List and then configure it according to the requirement.

  1. Under the Magisk Settings menu, tap on Configure DenyList.
  2. Now, select the desired user apps in order to hide root from them [optional].
    pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1

  4. Now checkmark Google Play Protect Services, Google Play Services, Google Play Store. and Google Service Framework.
    pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1

STEP 5: Hide the Magisk App on Nothing Phone 1

Some apps not only check for the SafetyNet flag but also verify if the Magisk app is installed onto your device or not. Therefore, let’s disguise this app so that it re-installs itself with a different package name. Follow along.

  1. To begin with, launch the Magisk App on your device.
  2. Then tap on the gear icon situated at the top right to access its Settings menu.
  3. Then go to Hide the Magisk App option and let the feature do its job.
    pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1
  4. Once done, it will ask whether you wish to have the app shortcut on the home screen.
  5. For ease of convenience, you may select Yes and then tap on the Add to Home Screen button.
    pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1

STEP 6: Install MagiskHide Props Config on Nothing Phone 1

  1. Download MagiskHide Props Config from GitHub/XDA and transfer it to your device.
  2. Then launch the Magisk App onto your device.
    pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1
  3. After that, tap on Install from Storage, select the Module, and hit Install.
  4. Once the installation is complete, hit the Reboot button situated at the bottom right.

STEP 7: Force Basic Attestation on Nothing Phone 1

We will now be starting with the implementation of the BASIC attestation on top of the hardware-based so that it becomes easier to bypass. Here’s how it could be done:

  1. First off, install any terminal emulator app on your device (such as the Termux app).
  2. Now launch it and type in the below command:
    su -c props
  3. You will now get a Superuser Request, tap Grant.
  4. It shall now launch the MagiskHide Props Config within the terminal itself. Type in 2 [Force BASIC Key Attestation] and hit Enter.pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1
  5. This shall take you to the Force BASIC Key Attestation page. In my testing, Pixel 3 with Android 10 spelled out success. So let’s select that one only.
  6. So type in d [Yes, pick value from device list] and hit Enter. Then type in 7 [Google] and press Enter. After that, type 18 [Google Pixel 3] and hit Enter.pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1
  7. It will now ask you to confirm the selected value, type y [YES], and hit Enter. Then type in 2 to select Android version 10.
  8. Finally, you will have to reboot the device. So type y [YES] and press Enter.pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1

STEP 8: Delete Google Service Play Store Data

  1. Head over to Settings > Apps > See All Apps and go to the Google Play Service app.
  2. Go to its Storage and Cache section and tap on Manage Space.
    pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1

  4. Once that is done, go to the Google Play Store app’s Storage and Cache section.
    pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1
  5. After that, tap on Clear Storage followed by OK in the confirmation dialog box.

STEP 9: Check SafetyNet Result on Rooted Nothing Phone 1

  1. Download YASNAC from the Play Store and install it onto your device.
  2. Then launch the app and tap on Run SafetyNet Attestation.pass SafetyNet Nothing Phone 1
  3. You should now get the Pass result under both the basicIntegrity and ctsProfile sections.

So with this, you have successfully passed the SafetyNet on your rooted Nothing Phone 1. If you have any queries concerning the aforementioned steps, do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.

METHOD 2: Pass SafetyNet without Magisk Hide Props Config [NEW]

The shorter of the two methods, this doesn’t require you to spoof the device’s fingerprint or flash the Magisk Hide Props Config, all thanks to tweaks made by the developer of the Universal SafetyNet Fix Module. So on that note, let’s get started with the steps to pass Safetynet on your rooted Nothing Phone 1.

    Hey Sadique,
    I rooted it and did all the steps above.
    Yet even after passing the YASNAC, my banking app fails.
    I tried ICICI bank app and even gpay, both failed.
