Unrooted Asus Zenfone 5, still unable to play Pokémon Go - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I unrooted my device specifically to play Pokémon Go. I was using SuperSU and ticked "Disable and Hide Root."
However the game is still unable to authenticate. I have read on Reddit that the Magisk work around no longer works as well.
Is there a way I can play the game beside buying a new phone and never rooting it?

You could always try an exposed module to hide your root, like RootCloak.

Root and Xposed?

Has anyone, that has rooted, tried using xposed modules on this device? If so, how well is it working? Thanks
I'm using it now and it works just fine
Sent from my ASUS PadFone X using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I installed Xposed with these modules: Greenify, Play Store Fixes, RootCloak, XuiMod, YouTube AdAway, and YourTube. All work execpt XuiMod so far. I tried the hardware torch(flashlight) option and it failed. I am looking more into it and if I find out more I will update.

Switching between root and unroot?

So I've rooted my note 3 with towelroot and applied some tweaks and mods.
Unfortunately sky go doesn't work and it's an app I use quite regularly. Can I simply unroot with supersu, use sky go, then re root when I've finished with sky go? Do I have to undo the mods I've added with exposed installer? If so is the back up app which will speed up the process of re adding my mods?
Thanks

doesn't work for me either after updating my Nexus 7 2012 to Lollipop....
I think it's SELinux' Enforcing mode? Hmmmm.....

same here... N5 stock Lollipop + CF Autoroot
me too
does not work..
Ditto....sucks, but glad to see I'm not the only one having this issuem..thought maybe i did something wrong! Hopefully fixed soon!! Terrible SOT.. 1h 45min and only 10% battery left.. :-s i know it will take a few days to stabilize, but lack of Greenify isnt helping!
Try the greenify beta. Works for me when I hit 'Put into hibernation now'.

Confirmed!!! Nice tip, thanks! .
There is an update in Google play..
So its working now

If you are all on Lollipop, Greenify will not work in the normal way. It may work manually.
Greenify requires Xposed or root to work fully. Xposed for Lollipop is yet to come. May not come in the near future. I do not know whether you had root before Lollipop. You may have lost it. So you have to use non root option for Greenify to work.
Or simply root the device..

greenify compatible with lolipop may come in near future
gudluck
I don't understand. Greenify is working fine for me on Android 5.0... Why would it not work for others? My apps get greenified automatically in root mode.

They were probably using the earlier version and you are using the updated version on Play Store.

Does this mean that the latest downloaded version now works with lollipop?

I based my reply on the post by @petenatas who reports that Greenify is working for him in root mode on Android 5. I don't have Lollipop, so I can't confirm.
There is no official announcement.
Thanks.
Greenify 2.5 works fine here on
Lollipop Rastapop 5.0 Nexus 5 rooted

I have now moved to Lollipop on my Nexus 7 and Greenify 2.5 works in root mode.
Thank you. Good to know. One down.
I now have to wait for xgravity, xprivacy to also work and all the lollipop bugs to be fixed..... ?
Anyone else notice that greenify makes the screen lock come back despite trusted devices connected? Or is it just me?

Systemless root

Hey there,
I was curious of whether somebody here has atained systemless root? I would like to use an app for 2-FA with my credit card that detects root and therefore rejects to work on a rooted phone. Does anyone have a viable idea on how to deal with this?
Cheers!
My bank app detecs also rooted phone, but i was able to get it work with rootcloak (xposed module). But hen again i have second app for nfc payments at does not work even with rootcloak

With current systemless root solution (magisk), it's possible to temporarily "unroot" via a simple toggle. It works with my bank's app with root detection.

One more advice, if I update my bank app for the recent version, it will not work anymore with rootcloak, but it might not be the with you bank. But if it stops working after update you should just return to earlier version and hope they have not blocked it

Only asking here since we are pretty much a tight community. Xposed

Is there any way to hide the Xposed installer from apps? I've tried sudo hide, Xprivacylua or whatever it is called.
Magisk hide doesn't work. I've Google searched it.
I play Marvel Future Fight, and no matter what, it sees the installer. Renaming the folder don't help either. Currently my only solution is to uninstall the Xposed app. Play and then install it after I am done.
It's inconvenient but it works. Just hoping there is a better solution.
Only other way i know of doing what you want to do is using TIBU to freeze app (in this case xposed) and just unfreeze when needed. This way you retain your settings in the app.

Tried that as well.
Was the first thing I tried before I did my Google searches.

Not exactly what I'm talking about. The issue is not passing SafetyNet, it's the app seeing the Xposed installer app. Try for yourself.
Type in Marvel Future Fight in play store and try to run it.
All Google searches say to rename the Xposed installer app file. However, it doesn't work for me.

Well, try it see if it works. The reason Magisk can't hide regular Xposed is because it changes the system. EdXposed doesn't and can be hidden by Magisk.
That's why edXposed can pass Safety Net when regular Xposed can't.

EdXposed is the same as regular Xposed when it comes to Xposed detection. Even sudo hide is not working.

Just to be clear, the issue is the Xposed app itself.

Well I should be fine as long as I don't reboot with the Xposed app not installed.
