Magisk: Error problem with Felica Client after Magisk-v19.0-3eae9494 (19001)

[zen-U]

FeliCa Client does not emit an error in Magisk-v19.0-3eae9494 (19001). Perfect operation. However, all subsequent Magisk will generate an error.
Even in Magisk-v19.3-6a54672b (19202), FeliCa Client emits an error.
What should we do?

I have same problem on Pixel3(blueline PQ3A.190505.002) with docomo(japanese career)SIM.

FelicaClient(com.felicanetworks.mfc) needs SecureElement, and work with eSE1(on Pixel3).

Bellow lines are in logcat_V19000.log(Magisk19000)

Very likely related: I have a SIM card with a Secure Element for nfc payment (not Osaifu-Keitai and not eSE) which just works through the NFC chip (i.e. other NFC readers are able to detect the payment "card"), but the App by the service provider is unable to communicate with the SIM card via SEService to read the remaining balance.

I had the latest Magisk (19.3) installed. So I tried downgrading to [19.0] and to my surprise said App is now able to communicate with the SIM card. I then tested [19.1] in which said App appears to not work.

So I also checked the other canary versions. Here are the results:

| Magisk Version | App Working? |
|-----------------------|--------------|
| 19.0 | Yes |
| 19.0-3eae9494 (19001) | Yes |
| 19.0-da3937ff (19002) | No |
| 19.1 | No |
| 19.3 | No |
| 19.4-c1602d25 (19301) | No |

Skimming through the changes between 19001 and 19002, I don't really see anything suspicious yet... I hope this can help with hunting down the issue.

Device: Pixel 3a US version (no eSE)
Android version: 9 (sargo-pq3b.190605.006)

I don't get the log messages similar to what @nakashy got unless I manually kill the process com.android.se, but here's what I get when I do so:

Just did a git bisect and it points to the commit 0149b1368d7f508e0c1bde47ba217ac9ae81976a.

@topjohnwu Any ideas?

[alvinhochun]

Update: I'm happy to say that the payment app for my SIM is now working (as in successfully reading the remaining balance and transaction history) on the latest canary 19.4-dd6e55ac (19303), likely due to the MagiskInit rewrite for system-as-root devices. Though I did not test build 19302 so I could be wrong.

Others should test to see if it's the same for FeliCa

[nakashy]

I confirmed !!!
FelicaClient works fine with 19.4-dd6e55ac (19303).

[sfai05]

Hi @alvinhochun , are you using the CSL Octopus NFC SIM card ?

[zen-U]

FeliCa Client worked properly with Magisk-v19.4-dd6e55ac (19303). topjohnwu Thank you for correspondence.

[alvinhochun]

Hi @alvinhochun , are you using the CSL Octopus NFC SIM card ?

Yes, but it should be the same for any SIM cards that utilizes similar technologies.

[topjohnwu]

Thanks for the confirmation, @zen-U !
