Getting World Run app (Wings for life) to run on rooted device with custom ROM (Lineage os)

Hello,
Could anyone help me with achieving this. I've tried using Magisk, Universal safety net fix, maskishide props config even managed to pass safetynet test by spoofing device fingerprint but the app still detects my device as rooted.
I am not sure what to try next.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Oswald and sorry for posting in the wrong section but I was unsure where to post it and was kind of desperate to find solution.
Anyway yesterday I did a manual upgrade to my Lineage version, then reinstalled Magisk and modules as before and for some reason now everything works fine. So consider this issue resolved.
Regards
Hi @Nightb1rd I'm facing the same issue that I keep getting the error message that my device is rooted.
I'm using /e/OS based on LineageOS with microG integrated.
Tomorrow is the run and I would like to use my phone for it. Can you post the steps you did to achieve the WFL App to work when starting the AppRun.
Thank you!

Hi there,
Ok, so first make sure you have the latest version of your rom installed. Then download magisk manager from playstore. Next download latest version of magisk app, rename it to .zip, reboot to recovery (I have twrp) and then install this zip file from your phone memory. Finally download and install zygisk module directly from magisk manager. Now when you have this module there will be new options in magisk manager under settings. You should enable zygisk, enforce deny list and finally configure deny list so world run app is on it.
Also clear cache and memory for worldrun app before trying the test run. If it still fails and you haven't updated your rom in the first step because it was up to date try reinstalling it and then repeating the procedure. Perhaps that did the trick for me.
There are guides how to install magisk and zygisk on dedicated web sites.
Good luck!

debug app: log options with developer options disabled?

I have a medical app, which is quite restrictive concerning the android devices it wants to run on:
- android >= 10
- no jailbreaking
- SafetyNet active
- no magisk installed
- no developer options enabled.
I'm running LineageOS 17 on a Xiaomi 10T
I managed to hide the jailbreaking with Magisk (and faked its app name), enabled SafetyNet using MagiskHide props.
Developer options, however, I found no clue, so I had to tun them off.
Unfortunately, something goes wrong in the bluetooth stack, pairing the medical device doesn't work. The app requests to pair (twice), then they negotiate, and afterwards I get a error message from the medical device "pairing isn't compatible with this device", I guess a protocol error.
Any idea how I could find some info about what *MAY* be the cause?
If I could run the adb daemon in a rooted termux and get some logs about what's wrong, I may be able to find the error and fix it, but currently, I have no clue

Disabled OEM Unlock on rooted android device with custom recovery...

Hi! I'm sorry that I have to post this, and this is an incredibly stupid problem. But I disabled OEM Unlock on a rooted device with a custom bootloader...
So I was trying to see if all the developer settings were right and I just made quite the oopsie. I don't know how to fix this. I've got a Samsung SM-T580 that I rooted a couple of years ago and it's still rocking Android 8.1.
How do I fix this? How do I enable OEM Unlock? I'm perfectly fine with formatting the device and losing data, because there's not much to lose. I was planning on trying to get Android 10 on my tablet anyways because the WIFI keeps randomly disconnecting. (Android 8.1 bug)
Thanks in advance!
PS: The bold text acts as a summary.
Edit: FIX:
To fix this issue you just need to download the firmware for your device and your region.
Then you just need to download Odin and unpack both the Odin and firmware .zip files.
Watch this video it really helps:
Do Not use the firmware download link provided in the video, because that site is just a waste of time!
Use this site for firmware download: https://sfirmware.com/
Hope this helps anyone!

might work if your android version is not enforcing avb/dm-verity on system. otherwise you must unlock bootloader first.
