Hello, I had my Verizon LG G3 rooted with StumpRoot and everything was just fine but I wanted to make sure I could unroot my device when Android Lollipop was released for it. I read that the phone ran way smoother in the ART runtime so I went to change it over to ART and it wouldn't stick so I did some research and turns out Xposed Installer is not compatible with the ART runtime to I uninstalled it through the Play Store and tried again, didn't work, some more reading told me that to fully uninstall it had to be done inside of the application to fully remove it, so I tried and it needed root access. I downloaded StumpRoot again and apparently Verizon had patched the exploit on the LG_VS985_11C From LG_VS985_10F update that I installed while I was rooted. How do I get around this?
Many Thanks,
Tyler D

Hi,
I have a fire tv on 51.1.4.0 (prerooted) and it has xposed installed (along with rbox's module) . I was thinking of updating to a newer prerooted firmware, I wanted to know if I need to uninstall/disable etc Xposed or the modules before updating.
Also have there been any big improvements since the firmware I have?
Thanks!
No, you don't need to uninstall or disable Xposed before updating. Know that you will need to go into Xposed and re-install it after the upgrade. Also, incase you're not aware, you will need to unlock your bootloader and install rbox's boot menu to upgrade past 51.1.4.0

No offense to this stellar community, but why don't you have your own mini forum on aftvnews?

I'm working on setting up a forum. I've actually set aside today (assuming no big news breaks) to heavily work on it.
The issue is that I want to merge post comments into the forum so that they are essentially the same thing. I don't want there to be two places where the same thing is being discussed. That's what's taking the longest to setup.
I need help with getting Android Pay to work on my rooted Note 4 because I keep getting the Android Pay cannot be used message. I do know that Android Pay does does block rooted users so I've tried various workarounds with none of them working.
I tried the method where I installed Root Cloak and added Android Pay, Google Play Service and Google Service Framework to apps it hides root from and cleared the data from those 3 apps. I also installed No Device Check since from what I saw, Android Pay does use SafetyNet to check your devices firmware whether it has been modified or not. Does anybody have any ideas of how to get this to work without losing root access or having to go back to stock?

I'm running CM12.1 if that matters. Would it work even with that or would I have to be running stock?
Im on stock however rooted using beastmode and twrp recovery. I disabled supersu and was able to add my credit cards however when i go to use it for example at a vending machine at school i get a message that says something like, Amex**** is unable to be used at this time and the same goes for my discover.
any ideas how to fix?

Is it possible to still use apps like Snapchat, bank apps, etc. when rooted/xposed installed?
If yes, does it run without issues or do I have to get some workarounds/tricks?
I'm rooted and I was able to use bank app, BUT everything depends of the devs of the app that you use. I read that snapchat doesn't work anymore on rooted phone. Also I think there was app in xposed that can hide root temporary or something. Can't say for sure because I never use it cuz I never need it, but I think is possible. Don't forget you can use adaway if you are rooted.

oh, that bad that now SC doesn't even support rooted, is there at least a way to "disable" root for some time? Some flashable zips to uninstall/install root by "current needs"?
I think there is xposed module for that but can't test because still no xposed for nougat.

I'm on s. Rom marshmallow sense, but using xposed and any module to hide root is possible (I'm using rootcloack module and works perfect) I don't use snapchat but some other apps which don't run on rooted phone , but I'm using them with above setup.
Hi, I rooted my pixel, after that I tried to install Netflix all from the web but it says that my device is not supported. I tried to hide magisk and even google play and google play services and it didn't worked. How can I install the latest Netflix app on my device ? Thanks
You can't at the moment. It looks like the Play Store is seeing something that neither Magisk Hide or even a cloaked unlocked bootloader can hide. My guess is that it is an attestation similar to how Google Pay is working to fight root and unlocked bootloaders. Clearly, the Netflix help page that claims that certification is the kicker is dead wrong at this point and as of a moth or two ago. Maybe a return to stock, re-lock of your bootloader and facory reset (which locking your BL would do anyways) might get you there, but I am not about to do that. For now, sideload the most recent one off of APK Mirror and if you need to update due to some lost functionality, use one from there when it becomes available.

True, but Play Store will not update Netflix after that one time. I have 4 devices installed that way, and since the Play Store version with 3.14 in it the updates will not show. One of the devices hadn't got 3.14 when the others had and it got the Netflix update two ago. The others didn't get it. That device did not get the last update nor did the others. I suggested in another thread possibly uninstalling the Play Store o get it to revert to the original version and then checking to see if Netflix is available. Even if it works, I am not about to keep an older version of Play Store or have to do that every time Netflix updates. The older version of Netflix is working fine.
My Netflix is on version 7. Not sure what you speaking about version 3

I was talking about the Play Store version itself (Play Store>settings).
#1 wait for final q and root.
#2 Netflix doesn't need update lol
#3 my bad lol
What I find fascinating about this is I assumed it was because the bootloader was unlocked. But, flashing the Android Q Beta, allows you to install Netflix with no issues unlocked. But, if you go back and flash P? It's no longer an option. So my theory is out the window..

Rooted both ways, neither way? Safetynet?

Rooted, and non rooted. SafetyNet passes fine. I observed this on fresh installations. If I do a fresh factory install of P, I can't install Netflix even before rooting. If I flash stock P, and lock the bootloader? I can install Netflix.
Now with Q? Bootloader unlocked, factory flash Q, can install Netflix. It's very interesting that this doesn't happen with a factory flash of P..

This is leading me to believe my previous thoughts about Netflix on the Play Store. I think the Play Store is looking at SafetyNet/Device Certified 1st regardless of device. If that passes, move to the device/OS and see if it is listed for additional checking. Since Q has not been released publicly yet, I am guessing that the check goes no further and shows Netflix. This will probably change at public Q release if not sooner, and updates will cease even if the program is installed already. I believe my Tab S2 713 simply is not listed for additional checking since it is rooted and has an unlocked BL but passes SafetyNet. Play Store shows available and provides updates.
The big question is what additional testing is being performed. I doubt it is checking for unlocked BL unless the kernel masking of unlocked BL simply doesn't work anymore. I tend to think it is a database attestation check similar to what GPay does. Finding that or using MagiskHide Props Config module to set a working fingerprint might work long term, but since older versions of Netflix (already installed on all of my devices) are working OK without updating I am in no hurry to do too much testing.

Same here.. it's not a deal breaker, it's just frustrating. There's another app from the Playstore that does this from T-Mobile. T-Mobile Device Unlock (or whatever it's called). What made me really raise my eye-brows is during the initial setup of the phone after a fresh flash. In P, during initial setup, when you get to 'install additional apps' it's not listed. If I flash Q, go through setup, it's listed in additional apps.. It's very strange.

Too funny about the T-Mobile device unlock. I had that show up on my phone a few weeks ago, and I deleted it. I have 5 devices on T-Mobile, and that was the only one that it showed up on. I have seen that app before since my boys had a prepaid T-Mobile phone years ago that had that app. The app not showing in additional apps makes sense since it doesn't show up in Play Store from the device and if you search it on the PC it will say not compatible with any of your devices or compatible with some of your devices. I actually chatted with Netflix a little while ago and played stupid about the whole thing. The agent seemed to think that as long as your device was certified the app would show.

yeh appareently APK Mirror doesn't host the Netflix app anymore either, so get it from another site.
Something interesting... Did a clean install of July Pie.. Was using Q but was having some random issues with GPS.. Anyways, I installed the APK and now I'm being told by the application itself that it's not compatible with my device.. WTH!?!?!?? Can't even side-load now??
Pretty sure the Android DRM (Digital Rights Management) Framework does the Netflix locking. There's a magisk module for DRM Bypassing for Netflix

You also may need to spoof the device fingerprint. I am on Q so it lets me download right now no matter what. I just spoofed fingerprint for G Pay on top of the database
Just stumbled upon this thread and just wanted to comment. I'm rooted with an unlocked bootloader and I've had no issues with installing Netflix of having it update when needed. I've even had to uninstall and reinstall once with no issue.
