Welcome back to Rebooted X! One of the most common frustrations after rooting an Android device is discovering that your favorite or most essential apps have stopped working. Whether it's a game that refuses to launch, a streaming service that won't play content, or a secure app that claims your device is compromised, the culprit is almost always Google's Play Integrity API.
Many users can pass the basic checks, but still find themselves locked out of high-security applications. This is because of a stricter, hardware-level check that most standard fixes can't bypass. This guide is for everyone. Whether you're failing the basic check or the final, stubborn `STRONG_INTEGRITY` check, this advanced method provides a new, more powerful solution to get all of your applications working again, once and for all.
Understanding the Advanced Toolkit
This method works by replacing standard Magisk components with more powerful, community-driven alternatives that work in concert to create a more effective "hiding" environment. Here's what each part does:
- Zygisk Next: This is a standalone, open-source replacement for Magisk's built-in Zygisk feature. It provides a more robust framework for modules to operate systemlessly.
- Play Integrity Fix Module: A specialized version of the popular PIF module, designed specifically to work with this advanced setup.
- KsuWebUI & Tricky Store: This is the control panel for the operation. It allows us to dynamically inject a valid device fingerprint (a "Keybox") and spoof our device's security patch date—two critical steps for fooling the strictest integrity checks.
Crucial Prerequisites: Do Not Skip!
- Your device must be rooted with a recent version of Magisk.
- Important: You must uninstall any other Play Integrity fix or SafetyNet fix modules you currently have installed to prevent severe conflicts. You can do this from the "Modules" tab in the Magisk app.
The Step-by-Step Guide to Passing Play Integrity
This procedure is very specific. Following the steps and reboot order exactly is essential for success.
Phase 1: Replacing Zygisk
Our first step is to replace Magisk's default Zygisk with the more powerful Zygisk Next.
- Open the Magisk app and tap the Settings icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner.
- Look for the Zygisk toggle. If it is currently ON, you must turn it OFF. This is the most critical part of this phase.
- Download the Zygisk Next module using the button below.
- Return to the Magisk app, tap the Modules tab, then tap Install from storage.
- Find and select the Zygisk Next `.zip` file you downloaded.
- After the flashing is complete, tap the blue Reboot button.
Phase 2: Installing the Module Suite
Once your phone has restarted, it's time to install the core components of our fix. Download the three required modules below.
- Go to the Modules tab in Magisk. Tap Install from storage and flash each of these three `.zip` files, one after the other. You do not need to reboot between them.
- Once all three modules are installed, tap the Reboot button.
Phase 3: Configuring the Fingerprint and Patch Date
This final phase is where we apply the specific spoofing that fools the integrity checks.
- Download and install the KsuWebUI Standalone APK.
- Open the newly installed KsuWebUI app. It will request root access; tap Grant.
- In the KsuWebUI app, you'll see "Tricky Store" listed. Tap on it view the module interface.
- First, we set the device fingerprint (Keybox):
- Tap the Menu icon (☰) in the top corner.
- From the menu that appears, tap Select All.
- After that, tap Deselect Unnecessary.
- Tap the main button labeled Set Valid Keybox.
- Finally, tap the blue Save button to apply this fingerprint.
- Tap the Menu icon (☰) in the top corner.
- Next, we set the security patch date:
- Tap the Menu icon (☰) again.
- Tap Set Security Patch. This will open a popup screen.
- Tap the button Get Security Patch Date. This will automatically fill in a valid, recent date.
- Tap the Save button on this popup screen.
- You'll be returned to the main Tricky Store screen. Tap the main blue Save button one last time to finalize all your settings.
Final Verification: The Moment of Truth
With the configuration saved in KsuWebUI, the fix is now active. You can check its status immediately.
- Go to the Play Store and download the Play Integrity API Checker.
- Open the app and run the check.
If you followed all the steps correctly, you should now see green PASS verdicts for `MEETS_DEVICE_INTEGRITY` and `MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY`. Your device is now fully capable of running even the most secure applications without issue.
What If My Phone Won't Boot? (The Magisk Safety Net)
A major benefit of Magisk is that it's very difficult to permanently break your phone with a module. If you reboot after installing a module and your phone gets stuck on the boot animation (a "bootloop"), do not panic! Here is how to fix it:
- Force your phone to reboot again, but as soon as the boot animation starts, press and hold your phone's Volume Down button.
- Keep holding it until the phone fully boots to your lock screen. This will start Android in Magisk Safe Mode, where all modules are temporarily disabled.
- Once you're in, open the Magisk app. Go to the Modules tab.
- Find the module you installed right before the bootloop started (in this case, it would be Zygisk Next or one of the PIF modules) and simply turn the toggle OFF to disable it.
- Reboot your phone normally. It will now start up correctly.
This safe mode feature means you can always recover from a bad module without needing to wipe your data or restore a complex backup.
