First thing first, having unlocked bootloader means safetynet will fail, which makes you unable to use apps that check for safetynet (banking apps, Pokemon go), so you'll need to use universal safetynet fix to pass safetynet anyway.

Secondly, there's still security issue, having unlocked bootloader means allowing your phone to use any bootloader and kernel, thus allowing root access. Although they won't be able to decrypt your data even with root access, they can inject malicious modules in your kernel and wait you to unlock/decrypt the phone yourself then only they start to hijack your phone.

With that being said, having just unlocked bootloader is much safer than having both root and unlocked bootloader, since with unlocked bootloader you are mostly vulnerable to just physical attack.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, I am just stating this from the knowledge I know.

Thanks. Very informative.

Ok got it. Meaning with unlock bootloader still need safetynet fix for banking app

Works on mine. Had to add the card manually though. After that everything is working as expected.

So i have flashed the May update and seems like all is good. Also have done the xml patch.
Bear in mind after the patch you need to reboot the phone in order to get the setting option

also after uninstalling magisk the xml works rclxm9.gif
means i am not rooted

Banking apps will fail if you are rooted (not including Magisk hide options etc), but i am using MAE and CIMB Clicks fine so far on my phone with an unlocked bootloader, but unrooted of course. For good measure I installed and was able to launch Pokemon Go also, though i don't have an account and did not get to play.

Hi guys, just bought pixel 6 from shirogawa. Can anyone recommend a good place (preferably west klang valley) to buy and install silicon film protector for both front screen and camera visor? I got similar kind protector from Mobile outfitters for my pixel 2 xl but I don't think they operate anymore. Seems like they closed the shop at Sunway.

buy from Amazon, the best is whitestone dome. I had bad experience with TPU screen protector since I had pixel 6 with curved screen , the TPU doesnt work well for me

Interesting, maybe they don't use safetynet to detect root then, probably because they need to support Huawei devices that don't have GMS. You can download safetynet checker from play store to see if you can pass safetynet.

EDIT: After further digging, seems like unlocking bootloader only fail ctsProfileMatch, so that a more lenient app that only check for basicIntegrity still works after unlocking bootloader.

Workaround : Had to force stop youtube every time

No issue before May update

Hi all,
May I know is the network connectivity of pixel 6 strong enough? Since volte is not activated (not root device), the only option is to depend on internet call like whatsapp and so. If the connectivity is bad, I think this phone is useless.

I’m in the middle finding a new phone and Pey much I would like to return to pixel after I stop at nexus 5.

I’m using maxis and hope someone can enlighten me on this before I purchase the pixel 6 as my daily driver. Thanks

not sure on others but as for celcom im getting at par. Maybe better to get it volte enable.
Last time there was issues with maxis but not sure if it has been resolved by changing the APN maybe others could give feedback

how about high rise building or underground carpark...will the line ok?
I'm not going to root the phone and bcos of this i will fully depend on internal calls therefore the network stability is crucial for me.
Hopefully some maxis users can provide their experience to me before I go for pixel 6.

So I suppose there's no method that doesn't have any bad implications right?

I use banking apps a lot since I'm always on the go, so I certainly can't go for the root option is it?

I'm still in a dilemma, been using the Pixel Pro for about 5 months already, happy with it except the occasional bugs especially on the fingerprint reader after the may update.

Since I'm on the go, I'm starting to miss VOLTE more since I hotspot to my laptop sometimes.

So, root, unlock bootloader, Magisk, XML, which is the safest approach at the moment?

On Pixel 6, I'm having mobile network connectivity issues since May update (LTE keeps disconnecting). Always have to turn airplane mode on and off to get connection back. Anyone with similar issue and solutions?
