So I got a Max 2 x829 which came with a case. It's running Android 6.0.1. It fails SafetyNet CTS and Basic Integrity, so does not run Pokemon Go. Is this expected, or did a reseller add malware on the device?
Mine suffers from the same problem. Where did you buy yours?
I wouldn't put much stock in safety net.

What do you mean? Not passing SafetyNet means not being able to play/download some of the best games on the PlayStore. I think it's relevant.
Same here. I'm using cuoco92 ROM. I tried safety net that comes with magisk manager, but it doesn't work. I really doubt that there is malware installed, but I've no idea why it fails...maybe because ROM is rooted?!
Let me think about this... Most people have buy this device from a international reseller shop instead of the official Leeco store or online shop. Makes sense cause I'm pretty sure that most of the users here on the board are not living in China or India.
Every online shop is installing a custom ROM to make sure that as many languages as possible are supported. The most installed "Shop-Rom" is couco92...
As far as we know every Android device that is able to run a custom ROM needs an opened bootloader and especially couco92 comes with the ability to run SuperSU and Root!
If you just search Google for "SafetyNet" you find an official statement why it's not possible to run Banking or
Pay-Apps and why there's no possibility to run games like Pokemon go on rooted devices!!!
So let me think again about this...
Sorry guys but I also don't understand why the hell this device isn't able to pass the SafteyNet check! It must be because of malware or something like this!!!
Sorry for being so damn ironic! Hopefully it's self explaining why I wrote a post like this and you are able to get the informations you are looking for from the text...
Thanks for the answer, albeit the unnecessary sarcasm. Assuming that's true (which sounds quite reasonable) would the original ROM fix the problem? is the original ROM maybe supporting english language? And could anyone confirm such ROM does indeed pass SafetyNet checks? Thanks!
So ended up flashing the last Indian stock ROM. That solved the "basic integrity" check and now I can download from Play Store apps not previously visible. However, still does not pass the CTS check.
I believe such checks are over exaggerated, hackers can hack strongly locked iPhones or anything similar, so it doesn't matter CTS pass or fail as long as you keep your phone fully scanned with reasonable antivirus/security apps.
I think thats because your phone has bootloader unlocked.
This is the reason:
Devices that ship with Google's Play Store and other apps installed must pass Google's Android “Compatibility Test Suite”. Rooting a device or installing a custom ROM prevents a device from being “CTS Compatible”. This is how the SafetyNet API can tell if you're rooted–it merely checks for CTS compatibility. Similarly, if you get an Android device that never came with Google's apps–like one of those $20 tablets shipped direct from a factory in China–it won't be considered “CTS compatible” at all, even if you haven't rooted it.

Heyyo, use the official LineageOS MM ROM. It passes safety net. There's some other ROMs but I'm not sure. I'll try it on Mokee MM build and report back.
RR N fails Safety Net as it is pre rooted and some other tweaks that cause it to fail.
Oh, another reason why it can fail safety net is modem firmware. You might have to revert to a Chinese or Indian or international modem firmware. I don't think developer firmware works for SafetyNet

I can't pass SafetyNet with latest (04/29) LineageOS 13 nightly. I tried with Chinese 23S modem, wipe everything except Internal Storage, and install Open GApps Pico. I still get CTS Profile Mismatch. I tried with it as my Internal ROM under MultiROM, which I believe should be OK. I think it's expected to fail if installed as a Secondary. In any case, I have no particular reason I need to pass SafetyNet, I just thought I'd try. I've read that on newer Android devices, an unlocked bootloader can cause SafetyNet to fail (unless kernel is patched). I didn't try re-locking my bootloader so that could be it.
Heyyo, hmm well I tried ASOP based DU rom but it failed too but then again I'm using MultiRom as well so I'm unsure if that messes with it since it's a custom boot.img which I think is part of the SafetyNet check...
Please note this ROM is only for the SPH-L520 (Sprint) only!!! Do not try flashing this on any other variant. Search XDA for your device, as there are loads of other ROMS for your INTL version

Great to see a new builder, good job!
Thanks
Many thanks for this ROM. It installed without the slightest hicckup and is working fine. Been looking and trying to replace the OEM software for quite some time now with no success. This was a breath of fresh air. Great coding. Keep up the fine work. Best Regards. Yachtsman
I got it working figured out there's a tool to do it, ty awesome work btw.
Heres's an updated version of Lineage 14.1 which includes November's Security Patch and an updated CDMA(I hope I spelled that correctly)

Thanks for posting! Got it working on my Sprint S4 mini.
Thanks for posting! Got it working on my Sprint S4 mini, too.
I use the S4 Mini's as media players. Lineage 14.1 has better media options than the original OS. Great player for $30 or even $50. My Rockboxed Sansa Clip is wearing out. Smart Audiobook Player is great for audio books. The really great part of using the S4 Mini is the ability to load new content from my personal cloud.
Thanks for the awesome work Michael! any idea which one of your nougat roms are funtioning the best; this one, aokp, or RR? thanks
Also any plans around here to experiment here with oreo or p? I know as it is, that getting nougat is great for such an old device, but its the last true mini sprint phone out there...
Awesome job Michael!!! I really like the size of this phone, and I am hoping that this ROM keeps my phone running for a while.
However, I found a problem when I flashed the phone: I cannot put an account to the phone. In other words, when I go to settings > accounts> + add account, my choices are Exchange, Personal (Imap) and Personal (Pop3). The choice for adding a google account for the phone to sybchronize itself with the google services: play store, App Data, Docs, Drive, etc is not there. Did I miss a step in the flashing?
I sideloaded google play, but it fails because there isn't an account on the phone. Again, Did I miss a step?
Thank you for your time and shared expertise.

I cycled thru the imaging, flashing, gapps thing, and now the phone has connectivity to the app store.
-- Ill create a new post about this, but when I tried to activate the phone, I needed to update the PRL (Sprint) does anyone know how to do this?
Thx
Flashed the original software into the phone, did all the updates and reflashed lineage, so far so good: Everything works as the OP promised. Great Work!!!
R
I installed the original sprint software, updated everything on the phone. Then rooted, flashed and installed Lineage. It has worked about 95%. The WI-FI connectivity has a problem.
- Sometimes it does not let go of the wifi connection when I leave my house & it drains the battery very fast, shut off WI-FI & the problem is fixed.
- Sometimes it does not connect to the wifi, and cannot find a signal (multiple & strong signals available), reboot device & it connects
Does any one have any idea how to solve the issues with WI-FI?

Halp?
Spamming this question here in case anyone else had a similar experience:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/help/sph-l520-ting-4g-lte-t3817775
(TL;DR - can't get 4G/LTE on Ting even though everything else works perfectly?)
Curiously, I installed this rom on two sph-l520s successfully. After a month, I put back on one phone the Samsung 4.4.2 os. I did a twrp backup.
Several months later, I tried to restore the lineage backup. On reboot, this phone gets stuck with google framework stopped as well as other similar errors. I tried doing a new install after a wipe and it hangs at the lineage logo forever.
After many attempts and restores did not work, I installed the resurrection rom successfully.
Downloaded over and over and so on.
Now I have lineage 14.1 on one phone and resurrection on the other.
Anyone have a clue why this rom will not work on one sph-l520?
I made a TWRP build for the Sprint variant, and also builds of Lineage 15.1 and 16.0 if that's of interest.

absolutely fantastic, except i can't get any sprint service on the rom? any idea how to get it going/special zip to flash to trigger it? I already set up my service on stock rom, and On RR 14 I can get service perfectly fine, except that rom isnt stable and crashes on me. This one is great, just want to be able to enable my sprint talk text and data. THANKS!!!!

Hi, everyone.
I have not been able to play Pokémon Go on my LeMax2 (X829).
I'm using Cuoco92 (28S_M18.4).
Magisk (v.16.0) and Magisk Manager (5.7.0) are up to date. And the Pokémon Go is marked in the Magisk Hide.
But, despite all this, the game does not open on my smartphone. What could be happening?

I was using cuoco92 too, so I decided to change my ROM to a new one, I installed Pixar with Android Oreo 8.1 and after it Magisk Manager. Hiding Pokemon GO with magisk was working ok, but this new ROM was not focusing the camera...
hkbemil said:
The reason is that the selinux mode of stock bootloader(boot.img) is in permissive, so you could not play Pokemon Go.
I tried to solve the same problem for a few months ago.
I tried several ways in various ways and eventually succeeded.
You can pass the basic integrity of the safetynet test by disassembling the bootloader and adding "enforcing=1" to the cmd_line.
The selinux mode will change to be enforcing and you could play Pokemon Go without Magisk.
I am an x820 user, I think that x829 has same problem.
I tested on 26s and 28s rom of X820, not test on 30s yet.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Heyyo, the reason. Why 26s, 28s and 30s struggle is they are Chinese ROMs which were never Google SafetyNet certified so they will never pass without attempting Magisk.
Only North American, Indian and Russian (afaik anyways) builds of EUI ROM are SafetyNet certified.
It also requires bootloader to be locked.
Otherwise? You will need a ROM that exploits SafetyNet via the kernel with a greenlight hack. LineageOS Pro, DU12, Pixel Experience and tbh I'm unsure which other ones have it. I do remember that OmniROM Nougat official builds had it as well.
Please note I said LineageOS Pro by GalaticStryder and not official LineageOS since LineageOS team is against exploiting SafetyNet as to abide by what Google wants custom ROMs to do. That's also why they dropped user builds for userdebug builds.
Hope this makes sense.
You need to back for 19s Indian stock.

Heyyo jorgeffonte, have you tried relocking your bootloader in developer options and then rebooting?
If that doesn't work? Maybe you will need the EUI ROM x821 19s as it definitely passes SafetyNet.
Otherwise? After a bunch of changes on LineageOS 15.1? We do pass SafetyNet without any hacks... But the issue for Nintendo games is it will detect bootloader unlocked and that it's a userdebug build, so Pokémon Go wouldn't work unless you used Magisk...
It's quite the bummer that Nintendo are very anti-custom ROM...
I'm on revengos with magisk with the hide module and it works fine.
I'm thinking of picking up a NIB H850 G5 for dirt cheap.
I'd like to update to the latest compatible OS for security update reasons, however, require 100% working, and 100% stable OS. I'm going to be using the G5 Cam Plus accessory as well.
What ROM would you recommend? I don't want to use a finicky ROM as I like my devices rock solid for daily use. Thanks!
For a 100% working device, you only choiche is stock Oreo. Unfortunately, all Lineage builds have problems with IR and VoLTE. Plus, by using a custom rom, you won't be able to use LG Camera software (which is, in my opinion, far better than any other, especially for filming).
By the way, if you agree with losing these functionalities, the best rom you can get is Lineage 16, with android Pie.
re
.hi, i use custom rom 16 which u mention and my camera wont work at all. not only lg camera. also flash is not working/
Thanks for the info guys.
Suppose rooting and keeping stock would be wise then.
Is it possible to root with the latest updates or did LG/Google lock it down? Ie: do apps, like payment apps and Netflix, still work on rooted devices, or is it SOL if rooted? I've been out of the loop for a while
In need of a system wide ad/data blocker since the next phone plan I'm getting has a hard limit.
Cheers!
Rooting still works on H850 using Magisk. In stock Oreo, Magisk breaks the flashlight function. To restore it ad have a fully working phone, you have to flash MK2000 kernel after Magisk. Banking apps work well if root is hidden using MagiskHide. I'm not sure about Netflix, as I've never used it.
You can install whatever data blocker you want. I have installed AFWall+ and AdAway, and they work as they're expected to do.
Stock oreo 30c + magisk + mk2000 kernel is the way to go. Its fast, reliable, good battery life. No irritating bugs like volte and wifi calling not working.
I use adaway and i have added the energized blu go hosts file-

This is the route I'd like to go. Unfortunately, LG couldn't be bothered to release Oreo for my device (RS988). Never again, LG.
I'm not the developer of this rom obviously, but the Calyx team recently released CalyxOs for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro in Beta version.
Let's just use this thread to give feedbacks, opinions about this ROM and how it performs on your device!

I flashed CalyxOS on my Pixel 2XL a couple weeks ago and I'm liking it. I think I can finally dump Google Voice, too, so Calyx on P6 might be my next big move.
I flashed my pixel 6. I have to say the installation was fast and really easy ! I have one problem though, I can't install any apk. The weird part is that I can install app with fdroid and aurora but not from apk files. If anyone knows what I can do tell me
I haven't got around to trying it yet. Will test myself and report back. What about from adb? (adb install ...)

I solved my problem. First the file explorer does not have install privilege by default so I gave it the oermission. Then it was duckduckgo browser fault. It removes the extension part, I had to rename the file with an ".apk" at the end.
It might help someone in the future.

Do you have to root your phone to install CalyxOS?

root isn't necessary, just an unlocked bootloader and working USB drivers.
I'm not aware of a list but it would be interesting to see one. Narrowing your question to specific apps might fetch a better answer. At one time I ran /e/ Foundations's ROM and never came across app barriers I thought mattered for a de-googled phone.
Is Calyx OS good for my usage ?
I'm using a lot of google apps (photos, maps, gmail (not in push), drive) but I don't want to give out all my information to Google constantly...

update : found what i need from aurora store and work on calyx v. 3.1.1
I flashed CalyxOS on Friday with MicroG and I have to say I'm not missing anything so far apart from Google Pay. All my other apps work as they should.
The only problem is some of my most used apps are activated via in app purchases which isn't detected by the Aurora Store, so I've contacted the devs to see if there is a way to activate it manually.
All in all I'm really happy with Calyx so far.
Hi, can someone help me go back to stock rom after installing calyxos .
Update after about a month of CalyxOS and one OTA update. Really happy. Was adamant that I would go with GrapheneOS but somehow COS looked good out of the box and fit my use case real well (no microg). Fdroid, Aurora, Signal all pre loaded for me.
