Pokemon go workarounds - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone had any luck getting Pokemon go to work with s rooted device?if yes what steps should I take

Systemless root on MM build allows you to have a rooted device and Pokemon Go.

Guess I'll have to look for that,and update to mm..

I can't get my SM-T700 Tab S Working with Pogo. The CM 13 i'm running is SELinuX Permissive which Safetynet detects.
Couldn't find away to make it Enforced and most Custom Roms out there are all permissive 6.01.

I hate being a newbie with dumb questions but... LG G2 D800 device-Im reading a lot, and trying to learn the ways of XDA, but theres only so many hours in the day.
I was rooted and had TWRP, CM13, MM. PoGo worked after deleting the .su files from bin.
I didnt like MM though. Did a restore/downgrade to Lollipop. Somehow lost root and TWRP in the process. Now PoGo not working, I assume bcause of custom ROM.
It would be awesome if you could share some knowledge how to keep my current ROM but pass SafetyNet check to play PoGo?

You need Suhide to hide root as well as Root Switch. However, Suhide only runs on Marshmallow

Android pay on our OP3 with root?

Need help! Don't know if it's been answered. I've checked and haven't going anything. I've tried the chmod 751 in terminal and everything systemless and nothing has worked. Echo command did nothing.
It got patched yesterday. AP doesn't work anymore on rooted devices. Not sure if it's against the rules to link reddit but check r/android for updates like this

On my device it does seem to work with systemless root (latest supersu). When do you receive the alert?
It should work with systemless root, but you have to disable xposed.

So if you haven't purchased anything yet, try to. It probably won't work. It fails on two parts, me trying to add a credit card after a factory reset and when I had the credit card on it and tried using a touch pay thing.

Works fine systemless without xposed enabled
Thanks a lot guys. Well I am systemless and it did t work and this was before the patch. Also don't have exposed and still didn't work. Guess I'll be waiting for a newer setup. Urghhh. To root or not to root?, in the name of Android Pay!!!

Any specific steps to set it up? I mean I am systemless and I don't have Xposed. Still nothing. Maybe I forgot to set something.
SuperSU v2.76 on 3.2.1 stopped working for me yesterday. Have over 20 transactions where it has. According to the play store the app itself last updated 11th July. And I have transactions done after. So whatever's changed is not on the app.
Btw, i will try systemless and report back.

Not anymore.
Correct. The safetynet check no longer passes. The check is performed server side, so there is really no way to work around it at the moment, unless you fully unroot of course. So, even a fully proper systemless root method will fail. Oh well. I have never, nor ever will most likely, use Android Pay anyway. Lol. I was just curious why it wasn't working...so apparently Google has caught on for now. This goes for all phones too, not just the OP3. Good luck!

Dual Boot

With all this garbage about blocking rooted users from games like Pokemon Go. I was wondering if dual booting could be a solution. Is it possible to dual boot with one stock ROM and no root to play the games on and then the other a custom ROM rooted for everyday phone use? I am assuming some type of partitioning would be required to keep SafetyNet from scanning the custom rooted ROM on the device. Is this possible does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing it?

No not anymore not since the last two updates to SafetyNet over the last couple weeks.
There is a MultiROM out there, just try it out.

is rooting worth it?

So all my previous phone have all been rooted and custom rom.
Just bought the LG g4 and tried rooting but when I unlocked the bootloader it went into bootloop.
Sent it to LG for repair and waited a week and just got it back.
I'm scared to try it again.
Suggestions?
Depends. I've rooted mine and i don't really use root anyway. Only benefit of unlocked bootloader and root is when u want to use apps like viper4android or flash Nougat roms. I'm now using simplegx rom and it is pretty stock, plus the safetynet isn't passing because of bootloader. Imo the best would be if LG just could release Nougat, but they will do it at the end of a year i guess.

The boot loader is nothing to do with the safety net. I use android pay on my phone.
As for rooting, I use it for a few things. Mostly adblockers these days. So unless you have an app that you need it for probably not.

Now in my case rooting is a must. Yea i use viper. But between xposed. And stuff like bloat removal not just disable. Normally i end up with sprint phones and im not a sprint customer. Usaully require root to unlock. And now aparantly modify the apn setting too on the g4. Battery life mods.
Lol couldnt live without it
There are a few xposed modules that I can't live without, so root is a must. In my experience, custom ROMs often introduce issues with the camera, so I'm not going crazy waiting for my H810 to get an unofficial bootloader unlock (though I'm following that development closely out of nerdy curiosity). Plus everything @TheMadScientist420 mentioned.

Im a stock rom kinda guy so unlocked bl isnt a must as long as i can modify stock system how i need.
My biggest thkng is i use after market. Old htc sense flip clock so hiding clock in staus bar is a must also has a battery gauge. So gotta hide batter meter too. I hate stuffed up notification bars. Plus. Like my note 5 has no usb port so wifi file transfer adb through wifi and such is a must there.
Which sammy just beat lg. Nougat just came out for my note 5 but i cant odin back stock due to no usb port. So i have to wait for a ftwrp flashable version.
Root and adaway is absolutely minimum. Than U can have xposed and the "gate" is open.
I just don't wanna bootloop again

Actually safetynet can check if bootloader is unlocked so it has a lot to do. There are some kernel tweaks that hide bootloader status but i havn't seen it on any g4 kernel. I'm not passing safetynet after unlocking and using stock roms like simplegx or imperium. I havn't tried flashing stock kdz tho. What are your software then that doesn't trigger safetynet? Would be helpful

Unlock, Root, Xposed and then relock

Hi, my Mix2 arrived few days ago and I find MiUI quite nice, yet lacking few things. Those are easily available via xposed, hence I need to root. I'm also not so lucky in these matters so before I start to tinker with it I'd like to learn few things.
What are least dangerous ways to unlock and root phone? (heard sth about magisk, its quite new for me, haven't been rooting phones for couple years now) Is it good?
Suppose I succeed unlocking, rooting and flashing xposed, can I relock bootloader? I want that because ie AndroidPay needs that to work, and I haven't found any working rootcloack or similar (at least on Note2)
How reliable is 'the most official tool' for xiaomi flashing (from eu.xiaomi.com ?)? I mean can it bring back the dead or revert phone back to where I started, without any trace of tinkering?
As a new xiaomi owner are there any critical things I need to know?
Thanks!
If you flash magisk, which is the best thing ever btw, you won't have to relock bootloader to get Android pay working.

Thanks, I read about that and intend to use it. Though, there might be some issues with magisk and different versions. What features does it have?
So far, need to wait 3 days to unlock bootloader.

It's generally considered to be dangerous to relock a bootloader with anything other than perfectly stock/factory firmware installed. It may be ok to do this technically but it sort of "ties your hands" in some ways after making an unofficial modification and makes it a bit harder to recover from a botched situation.
You can have an unlocked bootloader and still use Android Pay. This can be achieved either with a ROM that is built to accomplish this (Epic ROM is an example of this) or by using Magisk, which allows root without any sort of SafetyNet trip in many cases. I don't believe there's *any* way to install Xposed and also use Android Pay or any other SafetyNet apps...the best alternative if you really want Xposed is to use Magisk and then install the Xposed Magisk module...you still can't pass SafetyNet with this setup but Magisk allows you to disable Xposed if you're willing to uncheck it in the Magisk Manager app and reboot the phone, after which time SafetyNet should pass ok...at least with this setup you'll be able to kind of have your cake and eat it too, though it's not ideal as you'll have to reboot if you want to change the status of Xposed.

I tried AndroidPay few times past few days and it didn't work at all. Perhaps terminals were not compatibile. So lets say I gave up on AndroidPay - can I use regular Xposed along with Magisk? Or does it have to be that module?

Oh! I think I may be able to help you with the Android Pay issue - my phone didn't work right with Android Pay until I made sure *all* Google apps' permissions were allowed via the Apps menu in Settings (along with "Autostart" via the security app)...and also toggled the NFC setting where it lets you select between "embedded secure element" and "HCE Wallet." It probably is on "HCE Wallet" but try toggling to "embedded secure element" and then back to "HCE Wallet" a couple of times. My Mix 2 would not make a terminal connection until I did this...it would just say "card read error." Seems like a firmware bug. Let me know if that helps!
But yeah if you don't want to use Android Pay then normal Xposed should be fine...you wouldn't need Magisk I don't think. Though, I'm not sure but I think the Magisk Xposed module probably functions the same as normal Xposed so I'm not sure there's an advantage in doing so. But of course it's all about personal preference!
Whoah, I'm still new to xiaomi/android7+ policies, where each app's permissions are reduced to bare minimum (messenger not being able to show notifications for example). I will definitely try this tomorrow.
So far I just managed to unlock BL, flash recovery and install magisk. SafetyNet checks ok. Will try xposed tomorrow after some payments ;D Thanks!
HCE wallet worked for me (I had it set to SIM wallet).
If I understand correctly here is the possible solution to xposed+magisk+androidPay.
I'd need phh's su binaries for that and keep crossing fingers for it to work on 7.1
I need to learn more about that stuff before I break something
So as I was expecting I experience troubles in installing Xposed.
I followed official way as in here And got bootloop.
I removed magisk stuff in recovery and fixed bootloop, then installed v89.0 (not .1) and also bootloop.
Im using SDK25, and miui 9 - 7.1.1 so it should be ok I think

[XT1676] Has anyone managed to flash a 64-bit ROM and still passed SafetyNet?

Hey everyone,
So with pokemon GO dropping support for 32-bit devices soon (and Motorola decided to give us a 32-bit OS on 64-bit hardware....), I was wondering if there was any way I could flash a 64-bit ROM and still pass the SafetyNet CTS check? I guess I'd have to flash something without built in root, and then re-lock the bootloader, has anyone done this before?
Currently running stock ROM on my XT1676.
Thanks in advance,

Why would you want to re-lock the bootloader? You couldn't do that anyway without flashing a stock unmodified firmware image and even then its not advisable because if something happens in the future you may not be able to reflash firmware as the bootloader is locked
Anyway to answer your question - most 64bit roms pass safetynet by default (lineage 17.1 & AOSP for example) as they contain a hack that changes the device fingerprint (you will get a message on boot about contacting the manufacturer due to the mismatch of fingerprints but this can be ignored)
If you want root flash magisk and then hide pokemon go in magisk hide assuming magisk still supports hiding of root as I haven't tested it for a while
Also no roms should be rooted by default - you need to root it yourself if you want to

Just use MintOS with Magisk
It will work out of the box
Thanks for the advice both, I wanted to relock the bootloader as I believe the CTS check fails if it is detected as being unlocked. I'll have a go with one of the recommended ROMs and let you know how it turns out. I don't have any need for Root.

The bootloader tripping CTS does not work on this phone, it's too old
And you ironically need Magisk to pass SafetyNet! Magisk Hide hides Custom ROM things too that will trap SafetyNet.

Ah good to hear having an old phone works in my favour sometimes.
I'm in same boat : wanted to flash the Lineage OS 64 bit version on the G5.
I don't understand why we need to use Magisk, I used to do the same last year on a Samsung J3 and flash a Lineage 14.1 (32bits and without root).
And it pass Safetynet checks wihout Magisk, is Magisks reaaly required on the G5 if we don't root the phone ?
Thanks

It depends if the rom passes safetynet by default
If it doesn't you need magisk to either flash a safetynet module or change device fingerprint in order to pass cts
You also need it to hide the fact you're rooted from apps using magisk hide
So to clarify - if the rom passes basic integrity & cts there shouldn't be a need to root
If it doesn't you need to use magisk to help you pass these things and to hide root

Try it. You can unroot and root your phone with the zips.
