PokemonGo detects Root. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, with the 0.37 update released today, everyone' favorite overhyped augmented reality game started to deny running on rooted (and jailbroken) devices. Niantic for sure won't care even if 30% of the playerbase suddenly drops... (like they ever cared about that before).
Rootcloak in all its current forms does not help.
Also, rumors are made that it can detect Xposed itself
Anyone here has an idea what method it could use?

Great topic really need a solution.

Is this on all rooted phones or just a couple reports of detection so far?

Oh wow. Interesting - since you were able to hide root through xposed before. I wonder how they are detecting it / how we can prevent it.

No, we're all sitting here waiting for Lollipop. There's really not a huge necessity for root other than adblocking. I've rooted and custom rom'd other smartphones before right out of the box, but after jumping on this phone, there's no need. Performance is smooth, optimized battery life excellence, and already included neat features like Double Tap to Wake without needing to root it.
Why do you desire root so badly?

It would seem like a better equivalent to suit your needs with Sony quality is the international build, the regular Z3.
Or you could be the extraordinary to find a way to root/unlock the Z3v and claim that nice bounty reward. I'm soon to up my donation amount.

It's a hit or miss with it sometimes. I'd say it works for me 80-85% of the time, but if you double tap in the center of the screen it will increase your chances.

I created a thread in this Z3v forum where I listed the amount of apps that are safe to disable. You just go to application manager, all apps, then choose the app you wish to disable.
Don't forget to hit thanks
Root would be nice only because it plays to the geek inside me. Otherwise the Z3v pretty much does everything I need it to do at a level of efficiency that is already well beyond my basic needs for a device.

I lost interest in root after the original droid, droid x and droid x2. With the galaxy s3 and now the z3v I am not trying to save space or fix problems with the OS. Rooting was a major pita IMHO and the Verizon apps I just don't use. I'm not sure why people still need root anymore. Remind me?

I agree. It is a pain to constantly change ROMs, change kernels, etc but I have still rooted every device. Keep it stock, move apps to a separate folder so there is no chance that they run, changing the font all through the system (not sure why that isn't a standard feature by now), & the big one I miss, blocking ads.

Lollipop is... disappointing.
The update seems to be a huge piece of garbage in a Material Design wrapper. The battery preformance is worse, the auto-brightness doesn't work as it should, I've been nothing but annoyed by it and I want 4.4.4 back..
I have not had success rooting the Z3 (D6603 on 23.1.A.0.690). Any of you know a good way to root and then downgrade to stock 4.4.4? Or is CM12 stable enough to replace 5.0.2? Any help would be appreciated!
Like I said when I got it on my S5 it was it was a huge disappointment. I'm not up grading this phone for a while

my 2 years upgrade is almost here, and the z3v is the phone I'm leaning towards (others under consideration are the S4, S5 and LG G3). My concern is that VZW will push out an OTA upgrade that can't be stopped, without having root....am I wrong about that? My last experience was with the S3 (which I still have&use).

[POLL] rooting vs not rooting

root pros: custom roms/kernels, remove bloatware, ad blocking.
root cons: no fingerprint, no android pay. (risk of getting very sensitive information compromised)

Guess I'm lucky, all mine work. I use Sling, BOA, Fidelity, Directv etc without any issues. No clue if the finger print scanner will work or not but hopefully if it doesn't that will get fixed here.
Android pay is a gimmick. I have a wallet everywhere I go, I see no reason to use my phone besides the "its cool" factor.
Didn't know the finger and android pay wouldn't work if you rooted. Guess i'm NOT rooting until there's a workaround.

As a side question, might anyone know who the developer of the fingerprint scanner is? Although I've a nigh nihilistic attitude about my privacy today I remember reference to information as I find in this article regarding Apple's AuthenTec's ties to the government. I presume the data will be taken while I hope it's used for good.
To the subject—if rooting breaks the fingerprint scanner I don't think I'll care. Banking on my phone? Nope.
Seeing as nobody actually HAS either the 6P or the 5x yet, we don't know for SURE what will break with root and what will not. Thing is, once you have root access, the whole system is open to you, so fixes and patches are possible. Also I remember reading somewhere that there was a way to "cloak" root from the rest of the system, so apps that check for root, don't find it.
I believe the finger print scanner works rooted, android pay is different though, although people claim they have it working with root!
In the UK I don't care as android pay won't be here anytime soon I'm sure haha

Where did you see the finger print scanner wouldn't work? I'm pretty sure I read an article stating that it would. I'm bummed about Android pay, but I can live without out.
Root pro with xposed and root clock works for banking apps
Why wouldn't fingerprint scanner not work? This might be different but on the rooted Sprint note 5 it worked fine. Never had a problem with Wells Fargo banking on a rooted device. I'm for rooting.
Sent from my Ascend Mate 2 using Tapatalk
well if fingerprint feature is not working then i guess i will just be on stock rom till there are fixes. i really need to root for the freedom for my device =P
Paying with my phone has zero allure for me...there are very few situations where I have my phone but not a credit card and the 0.5 seconds the phone saves means nothing to me. In fact I watched I guy have to tap his iPhone on the pay scanner at least 10 times yesterday at a deli in Manhattan before it took.
The fingerprint scanner...might be a convenience but I don't see all the rooting benefits out weighing not punching in a pin code or pattern on the lock screen.
I would be really surprised if fingerprint scanner did not work on a rooted device. Now AOSP, CM ROMS could be a different story, over on the One Plus 2 forum, you could root the device and use fingerprint scanner. They couldn't on AOSP as they did not have the binaries available to make it work.
Factory images + rooted, should still allow fingerprint access.
Does Android Pay work with an unlocked bootloader, no root?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I moved to a Nexus for easy rooting. I'll be rooted day 1.
I chose not rooting. I started with a Galaxy S variant and android 2.1 many years ago. Back in those days, I rooted and installed custom recovery. It was necessary, because I had to remove carrier and manufacturer bloatware, run special kernel to apply a lag fix, flash leaks onto my device because official updates were not coming, etc. Using these feature made my phone much more usable, and rooting made a lot of sense.
Those days are long gone now, and with a stock ROM on Nexus 5, I have been pretty much satisfied with my phone since Lollipop came out. Sure I rooted my Nexus at first too, but over time I realized that none of the advanced features were all that important to me. Rooting prevented me from getting OTA updates, and the lack of android pay was the last straw. I unrooted my Nexus 5, and will likely not root the Nexus 6P unless there is some show stopper bug or annoyance that rooting will help me with. Otherwise I will be content to use the phone stock.
It's a Nexus thought it was the law to root and have fun
I think we're all flashaholics on here, that's why we get a Nexus and root/tinker etc. In terms of practical usage, the need to root and install custom Roms these days is virtually zero. Also, the things that don't work when rooted like banking apps, some video services and pay services means it's becoming less attractive.
nexus devices were and still are intended to be used for development. Disabling features because of root doesn't sound like something that google would do, but then again since lollipop their security has been a bit more strict. so unless something is put out publicly we'll just have to wait and see.
I for one will be rooting day one when I get my phone.
If it is disabled, hopefully there will be a work around put out pretty quickly, like a root cloak or something.

First impression

Hey everyone,
I'm living in EU and 5x is coming in about 3-4 days. Prior to purchasing this device and seeing the actual price difference between the two I'd like to know what's your initial impression? I've heard that the EMUI is very heavy and slows down the phone (which I'm sure can be fixed by custom rom).
Cheers and enjoy/hate your new phone.
I've had it about 8 hours now and so far I can't find anything I don't like. This just replaced my Note 2 so about anything is an upgrade. I have no use for the dual sim card, but its cool that it there, plus you can have two sims and an SD card in it at the same time. Very pleased.
Edit: Oh and the battery is supposed to last more than a day with moderate use.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
I to have had it for the day. Just picked it up during lunch. So far I have noticed some lag here and there when going though apps like YouTube and the playstore. I plan on using this for a hotspot/tethering phone as well as my international travel phone so the dual sim was one of the factors in my purchase. So far though I like it a lot. The fingerprint scanner is fast and only didn't read my finger once out of the numerous times I unlocked my phone with it. I can't wait for the dev's to get the root so we can load better software.

I have used it for a week. Camera design is weird, convex too much on back.

Any reason to root/keep root the note 8 in 2019?

I have kept my Note 8 on samfail since its first days. Eventually I have given up hope on any further development or custom firmware options. Now out of frustration I am ready to pull the plug and just go to stock and get OTA updates and be done with it. I used to use root for so many things, mostly blocking ads, using certain apps that needed root, and just to have options and more control over the device that I own. I have stopped looking for anything or trying to stay on top of this device for at least a year, so I dont know what else there is to do with it. Ad blocking these days seems to block everything useful and I would have to whitelist so many things for it and no simple solution like the way it used to be. Now they make rooting impossible and want to charge over a grand for a new smartphone! ugh,end of rant.
Basically my Note 8 is no longer the swiss army knife that previous rooted smartphones have been for me, and I am not using anything currently that need root that i can think of. I dont know if i will ever need root. I have waited this out thinking in the future that I may need to be rooted but I just dont know anymore. Is there any point of keeping this Note 8 rooted anymore? No TWRP, no xposed,no cfw,seems like a waste to me.
Bump...

I am on the same boat. I was waiting for future development, but the lack of it, the 80% battery and so many other things just frustrated the hell out of me. I basically want 3minit battery and Titanium backup in my devices so that when it comes time to twitch devices, I don't have to spend a day or two setting it up app by app. Other than that you are right. Not too many other apps are needed. I switched to a Pixel 3Xl to get unlocked bootloader and root. Now I'm happy with it. Stock Android seems a bit raw and unfinished at first but it does grow on you with time.

I absolutely feel the pain of the OP. I have a S8+ on SamFail bootloader v1. I recently had the option to buy a Note 8 (bootloader v5) and couldn't decide if I wanted to switch from the semi-root of samfail'd S8+ to a stock Note 8...? Like the OP my main use is AdAway and one or two other apps that require root... I'm not sure what options are available for ad-blocking on non-rooted devices and how well they work? but that's a big one for me.
Sadly for USA variant (bootloader locked) devices the rooting/rom'ing party is over. And unless you want to stay a generation behind buying a international Exynos F model is expensive... (last years models are still expensive but usually about half of whatever the current series is)
I just gave up with root on my Note 8 about 2 weeks ago. Ad blocking is missed dearly. Just like others mentioned here, the gains for ditching root on snapdragon notes seem to be worth it. My root experience on this device just ain't the same as other devices I've rooted. My next note will be an exynos device for sure. If you don't mind setting up each app all over again I think going back to stock is good...as much as I hate to say it and be "regular". The extra 20% battery is noticeable in my daily usage too.

I've been thinking for about 2 years now, since the G925V, it is the way in which we root the device that is the problem. Technically speaking, our actual method of perma-rooting a device is about the same as it was 10 years ago. And since CF stopped working on Samsung Devices, it seems no one else will really. I really think that's the problem, no one ever filled the void left by CF quitting Samsung public dev work.
Is Chainfire's way the only way? Or the only way that's really been developed?

Question Software Questions about the 23U

My questions may seem dumb but I have never owned a Samsung phone.
I know samsung likes their bloatware and proprietary methods. Can I avoid all the samsung bloat and a samsung account and still use the phone? Are there ROMs that give a stock android experience?
Also what are you guys seeing for SOT? Im coming from a Asus ROG 6 Pro.
Any bugs you guys are experiencing? My 6Pro is so full of bugs that has pushed me to move brands.
You don't need a custom rom, you don't even need to root it, just use universal android debloater gui from github or adb app control to remove all the bloat (both include good instructions and details about what to remove) and going through first time set up you don't need a samsung or google account.
Unless you are using an international version there is no custom ROM option. The 918U and U1 models don't have the option to OEM unlock and flash ROMs.
You can easily umbloat using the mentioned universal android debloater.
Ui downloaded the 5.0 or sth like that and updated, then it all went south.
Stayed with the 5.0 version and it works great.
As for the ROM I put Nova Launcher and it works fine
Not the same but as long as the X3 camera shoots ****ty pictures I'll leave it warranty capable

Well, I used the "remove noise" or whatsoever option.
But for a X3 zoom I find the quality more than disappointing.
My Vivo X70Pro shots better photos.
Applied goodlock camera assistant, a bit better, and even gcam.
But quality just sucks for such a "high end" model...
Hoping on a FW fix though since with gcam its quite less worse
No issue here with 3x zoom with my S23U camera (B-version, EUX), just stock point&shoot....
Something like this ?
I'll retry with more natural light.
Maybe that's the issue.

Awesome, thanks for the replies. Since there is no custom roms, do we still have unlock and root available? At bare minimum i would like to install AdAway got universal ad blocking.

Moreoever, keep your lenses clean as much as possible.
These 2 photos I just shot now in a very dimly light room.

My biggest concern is just losing the samsung camera, I hear other cameras apks dont work well with the phone.
You will lose samsung wallet, I think. you should just use adhell for ease

Thx for the info, I will give it a try.
Just wondering why someone would apply night mode while using light in their living room
But if works like this, this is what it is .
Thanks for the info
