I only got my first Android device today, the G7, in order to run LineageOS, which I have gotten set up successfully. (I can't believe I didn't brick the phone!)
The only thing not working as far as I can tell (of course) is SafetyNet apps like Google Pay. From what I have read there are various workarounds but I can not be sure whether it's supposed to be working as of today, and whether my device/ROM makes that a hard no. I followed instructions and have installed Magisk, along with thesuggested modules (Didgeridoohan, Safetypatcher), and hidden all apps using Magisk hide. Before installing those modules, the SafetyNet check failed for "basicIntegrity"; afterwards, both tests fail, so that's a step backwards.
Is it possible to get this working given my configuration?

I've come from owning iPhones my entire life. To bypass Jailbreak checks within apps all we did was install a .deb package from a repo (in most cases).
For Pokemon GO we had PokePatch.
For Snapchat we had Phantom (Phantom Lite nowadays).
And that was it.. you resprang your phone and your tweaks/apps were working. But after buying an S7 Edge (my first Android device ever) I've been getting super confused with getting Pokemon GO and Snapchat both working while being rooted. People are talking about systemless SuperSU which I understand, but also Magisk, but also suhide, but also pph super.
Could someone help me figure out how to get apps working (pass the Safetynet check) as of today? Coming from iPhone.. this is very confusing.
Note: I have latest TWRP installed for Recovery and adb is working perfectly. I also do not need Xposed. It would be nice to have, but if it makes things harder I can do without it.

Has anyone gotten latest version of PoGo working on latest Oreo with ElementalX? I've never played but my friends keep asking me to join so I figured what the heck..
Slight problem... Device Not Compatible??
I had magisk and xposed, but I tried disabling, and even fully uninstalling xposed (and all additional xposed modules), and adding PoGo to the MagiskHide options, with no luck.
It still says that my device is not compatible...I would assume that's due to the rooting?
Or is it because I'm using ElementalX kernel?
I read somewhere that there's a (not pokemon go-specific) bypass sort of thing involving SatefyNet, but you have to install Magisk *before* going through initial phone setup, but any guide I've ever read about flashing/rooting ph-1 says to go through setup and then install magisk. I tried to find the post that talks about it but I can't find it right now. Anyway, I would imagine there's some kind of checksum against system and if magisk has been added after the fact, the checksum wont match? I really have no idea, just a guess.
I haven't seen any other posts specifically mentioning Essential being incompatible, so maybe it's just me.
I was originally thinking it was because of root or magisk remnants(?), but maybe it's the non-stock kernel.
If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it.
I feel silly asking such a noob question, I've just never play PoGo...or any Pokemon...ever.
extra info:
I have successfully created an account using their google auth option.
I get through the first Professor Willow part, then character selection.
Usually part way through character selection, I get the error in the attached image.
Its not on any one specific section, however, it can/has occur at any point during the loading.
I've cleared cache and data a hundred times because it seems to get further each time if I do a fresh data wipe and start over -- I know the next step already so I can get through faster maybe lol
--update--
I finally got through character selection and made it to the first chance to catch pokemon. I hit a squirtle and it was trying to break free, and then that error popped up.
Haven't been able to get back in far enough again to see if it actually added to my PokeDex or not.
Sorry for the late reply, but you have to hide root detection under magisk.
For Pokemon go to work, go to Magisk > MagiskHide > then search for Pokemon go and select it then reboot.
Hello there. I have a question regarding getting my phone to be Google Play Protect certified again. I have unlocked the bootloader, which if I understand correctly is what breaks the certification, Flashed TWRP 3.0.4-1, and installed Magisk v20.4 via TWRP. I verified Root by using the app Root Checker on the play store (and also SU requests popped up after rebooting). I enabled MagiskHide inside Magisk Manager and performed a SafeyNet Check and both the ctsProfile and basicIntegrity returned as True (the first time I ran it cts failed so I enabled hide and rebooted). There are a few apps that I use that indicate my device is not compatible and it is because of this I am guessing (Chewy, Disney+ for example). Oddly, as I was typing this I tried again and looked in the "My Apps" list and I could install Disney+ from there (10 minutes ago I couldn't) but clicking on the app it still said that it was incompatible. Chewy, however, remains unable to be used.
Since I could only find references to this on this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/play-certification-unlocked-bootloader-t3950857) and the second way to correct this problem, that thread says it doesn't resolve the ctsProfile) I figured I'd ask on here. I already soft-bricked it once and successfully used the MSM tool to bring it back so if I screwed something up I'll try again, but probably only once more :fingers-crossed:
*edit* I haven't activated my actual phone use yet since I want it to be stable first! Not sure if that makes a difference, I don't think it should.
*edit 2* I've since activated my phone. I can receive calls but no text messages. The plot thickens.
Thanks!
Im hoping someone can help me or possibly direct me to a youtube video to achieve what im looking to achieve
I struggled with, but finally managed to upgrade my device to stock 7.0, but rooted with magisk. When i tried to install xposed it forced a bootloop, so i restored a backup i had just made prior, and all has been well. I had wanted to install and use "Root cloak" as, at least so far thats been working on my 8.0 device (also Samsung, also stock but rooted but with SU method in that case, i couldnt get SU alone to work on my 7.0, for whatever reason)
I left it alone, but I'm noticing more and more that apps Id like to use come up saying "device is incompatible", which at first i thought it was weird as the play store itself allowed the install... but then upon some basic looking around, it seems that the apps have a way of detecting root, even through "magisk hide" - the feature directly included in magisk manager.
currently when i try to test for safetynet directly in the magisk manager, it doesnt actually properly test at all, no pass or fail, it just said unable
the rather peculiar part is that some of these apps arent all even banking apps, theyre for games. I cant figure out why gaming apps have issues with root access, especially when these apps themselves dont have root access, but thats kind of an aside
Any simplified help anyone can offer would be great! i am slightly familiar with editing the build prop, but i wouldnt know which values to change or even if that method is still effective. i used to use that on a quite older device (captivate glide) to spoof which version of android i was on in order to download app updates (which did work just fine, so why my older version wasnt supported is beyond me, lol)
thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
I was bored one evening, so I started poking around on XDA Forums, and found a way to fix the battery issue I had with OnePlus 3T that made me switch to another device years ago! I was surprised how usable 3T is to this day. I thought I would breathe some life into it with LineageOS 18.1 that continues to receive security updates and patches. This way I will have a backup phone ready in case something happens to my OnePlus 6. It is unlikely that 3T will receive LOS 19, so this guide should stay relevant for a long time.
1) Get back to the latest version of Oxygen OS if you are on a custom ROM. Use something like MSM Download tool and then upgrade to 9.0.6 with the built-in updater.
2) Follow the instructions on los website to install LineageOS 18.1 and google apps via MindTheGapps. If you do not need google apps, then you probably do not care about SafetyNet and do not need this guide
Now the main issue is the SafetyNet. If you install YASNAC - Yet Another SafetyNet Attestation Checker you will see that the phone is not passing the SafetyNet verification, meaning that Google Pay will not work and some other apps, like banking apps, might not work either. We are going to fix that with Magisk and MagiskHideProps. Feel free to poke around on your own. I will just present that have worked for me.
3) Go to Magisk's Github, download the latest release and follow the installation instructions. (Notes: 3T has RAM Disk, there is no separate vbmeta, boot.img is inside lineage-18.1-xxxx.zip)
4) Once you have Magisk working, got to MagiskHidePropsConf and get the latest release there. Go to Force Basic Attestation Post and follow the installation instructions under the spoiler.
5) Now, let's get Basic Integrity to pass. Go to Basic Attestation Post and make sure to add both com.google.android.gms.unstable and com.google.android.gms to deny list. Reboot. Go to YASNAC. It should say that Basic Integrity is passing. CTS profile match is not, but that's okay.
6) Install terminal app like Termux. Open it, and run su to get superuser privilages. Then run props. Follow the instructions to Edit device fingerprint (option 1).
Edit Device Fingerprint (1)
Pick a certified fingerprint (f)
Pick vendor (OnePlus is 21 at the time of writing)
Pick device (3T is 5 at the time of writing)
Pick the one with Android 9. (It does not matter that the android versions are mismatched)
Follow the instructions to apply changes and reboot.
7) Check YASNAC, everything should be passing now!
Some other suggestions:
GCam is pretty nice alternative to the original camera. I would recommend this one. (It is recommended to also install Google Photos. It is a google camera after all.)
OpenWeather is a nice weather provider.
I would also recommend going to Google's Keyboard, Messages, Phone, and Calendar Apps. AOSP ones are not great, in my opinion.
Hope somebody finds it useful! Good luck!
Ah nicely done, thanks for the effort and work you put into this. How is your 3T performing?

Hi, thanks! I was planning to use it as a development device to pick up android app development, but life got in the way and that never got off the ground
My 3T has developed a battery issue which ultimately led to me retiring it. The battery is extremely unreliable. It can be at 1% but work for 3 hours, sometimes the phone refuses to charge and the battery percentage tends to get stuck at 50% regardless of the actual charge level. I tried replacing the battery but the same behavior persisted. I think it is something either with the motherboard or the battery connector on it :/ Still a pretty snappy phone though!
