[Q] Google Device Manager not working after update

Since the Update to 1.1 , after reinstalling GAPPS my FP isnt shown in the Device-Manager
i can see it in the Browser unter My Devices but not in the Device-Manager.
Other users told me that it was visible bevore the Update but neither it was possible to get the location of the FP nor to let it ring from remote.
Are there any workarounds, or solutions for this issue?

I managed to solve this by resetting Google Play Services...
Go to System > Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Services
Disable
Uninstall Updates (go ahead with deactivating as Device Manager)
Uninstall updates (again!)
Force Stop
Disable
Clear cache
It takes many steps to disable this thing
Now you can Enable it back.
You should have a Notification saying "App application requires updating google play services", or simply open this link on your device
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms and update
For the following final steps, check the Help pages if you don't want to provide google with too much information
Open the newly updated Google Play Services and enable stuff you need under the Andrdoid Device Manager subsection.
Verify if Location > Access location is enabled...
Hope that works for you, it did for me!

for me too Thx!

After the update to 1.6 the Problem came back but now i cant close Google Play Services because when i want to , it says that it is impossible to Uninstall Play Services because it is an active Device-Administrator..
can anyone confirm this issue or even provide a solution?
thx

I can still locate my device after the upgrade.I also applied the partitioning update, so this may be due my phone losing all its data as part of the upgrade process.
Strangely enough, Play Services is not a Device-Administrator on my phone, nor is asking to be one. Can you revoke Device-Administrator status via Settings>Security>Device administrators?

i did the repartitioning too and now it seems to work

microg / playstore / signature spoofing

so, i now nothing about linux, i know about android only as much as every other phone user. i used android emulators, one day i though hey, what if you just use android as an os and i found this new dimension, almost.
now, i installed the last bliss os, i had many crashing problems (installing apps from apkpure caused crash, installing from built-in file manager also caused crash) and i figured pretty much all of those problems stem from notification problems. so i go and disabled all notifications, app by app, including system ui notifications. now i can install anything from apkpure, i don't receive any crashing.
another problem was with vertical apps. they didn't show properly, solved that problem with the built in orientation tool.
now, i want to know wth is this microg thing is. i can install any apk from apkpure so i don't need store for that. i am also okay with playing games in guest mode. all i want being able to ignore google login part. (edit: i just installed another game in which you login with plarium registration method which also stopped working when loading bar was showing "connecting to store systems". makes sense, i guess.)
microg thing has a self check and i guess when everything checked it will do exactly that? it will fool apps as if i have google play while i don't? so i need a tutorial about that. what's unchecked for me?
system has signature spoofing support CHECKED
system grants signature spoofing support CHECKED
system spoof signature UNCHECKED
play services gmscore installed CHECKED
play services gmscore has correct signature UNCHECKED
playstore phonesky installed CHECKED
playstore phonesky has correct signature UNCHECKED
(everything else between checked)
last entry called "network based location enabled" UNCHECKED. (it says you either disabled this in system setting which i didn't or the system is not supported)
thanks in advance.

I have a similar problem - I managed to get some of the unchecked checked by clicking on the option itself and sometimes a dialog would come up asking to grant some sort of permission. But I am still stuck with 'System spoofs signature' and 'Play Services (GmsCore) has correct signature' unchecked.
Does this mean the signature spoofing is not happening? If so I'm not sure what else I need to do to get it set up on Bliss OS 11.14.

How to bypass Google account at first setup?

I got a new A70 SM-A705FN/DS. I started to set it up but I don't want a Google Account and I don't want to transfer from another phone.
After checking for update it ask for copy or Don't copy, I say don't. Then I get "Couldn't sign in there was a problem communicating with Google servers Try again later"
Is there a way to bypass it?
On Youtube there are some videos but very hard to understand, only for "Android pro" users.
Any help on howto and explanation what is "Google lock" FRP welcome.
Edit: After reading, a lot of people have this issue but all I have seen are in a reset or previously used phone. I am setting up a new phone with the wizard.
Moreover I'd like to add that the phone is connected to Internet by WIFI (check update without issue) and there is not a SIM card in it.
Thanks

Question [Magisk/root/shimeko] Hiding root from Microsoft Teams and Company portal.

HI all. Keep in mind that I did my first root and install of Magisk this week for some gaming desires. I am a bit of a noob, but I had a blast learning about rooting. I was also encouraged because everything went pretty well and only took me around an hour.
Then I ran into a wall.
I use my Pixel 6 Pro to attend work meetings and track work form home or in my car. I had really grown to need this feature so I was a bit worried that I would have to reverse the root. So for the last 2-3 days I have been using trial and error and guides on how to hide banking apps. I saw so many threads that never resolved the teams issue or missed steps that I thought I would write up a detailed guide for what worked for me.
Keep in mind this is for Android 13 and a Google Pixel 6 Pro. This assumes you Rooted your phone and have latest Magisk installed as well.
Prep:
1. Go to Google Play Store settings and turn off automatic updating. I'm sure most people who use magisk do this anyway.
2. Go here https://en.uptodown.com/android/browsing and download older versions of Teams and Company portal. Not too old. You want something from just 2-3 months ago. If it is too old the phone won't let you install it but will put files on your phone that already know you're rooted.
3. Make sure you have the latest Universal Safty fix. You can run a scan to show if you meet the safety fix standard. Again I think the problem isn't safty fix so much as Company portal looks for an unlocked boot loader.
4. install Mgiskhide Props Config module and Android terminal from the play store. (You do this to put a legit looking device ID, or non unlocked bootloader ID - just encase your phone doesn't work, or has been previously detected). Its a simple process where you input some number options through android terminal to set the ID. Just follow the steps. AND MAKE SURE YOU DELETE TERMINAL AFTER YOU'RE DONE. They look for that.

5. Use Magisk hide and rename Magisk to MYJOBSUCKS
Action:
1. install Shamiko https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed.github.io/releases/tag/shamiko-120
2. Reboot.
3. Make sure Zygisk is enabled.
4. Make sure Enforce Denylist is OFF (This seems nonsensical but Shamiko handles the enforcement now that it's installed. The Zygisk enforcement is a conflict.)
5. Go back and install Company portal and Teams. Don't do anything in either. Don't sign in. Don't configure. Don't open the apps.
6. Go back to Zygisk and open Configure Denylist. This, I feel, is the MOST important step that makes or breaks this process. Do the following in Denylist:
MAKE SURE YOU TOGGLE EVERYTHING not just the default hides. Each hide has a submenu and for sub processes to hide.
This is everything I had to deny to make it work:
Authenticator.
Carrier OMADM
Carrier provision service
Carrier services
Certificate installer
Com.andorid.angle
Companion device manager
device health service adaptor
device policy
Gpay
OemDMTrigger
Permission controller
TEAMS
Work setup
Company portal
Google play protect services
Google Play Store
*** I Believes the bottom 5 are the main ones - the rest I just guessed and may or may not impact things 100% *****
7. Sign into Teams.
8. This will force you to sign into Company portal. If it works - not much will happen because it will look like a legit non-rooted phone.
If it fails you'll have to setup your profile in Company portal and it always fails after a 5 step process and says DEVICE NOT HEALTHY) This means you didn't deny something or you didn't reboot or something. You also need to go into your google accounts and look for your work profile and delete it and uninstall teams and company portal - I think company portal leaves files that you want off so you have to start from scratch)
9. You should be able to join your work meetings and use teams.
Ongoing:
Make sure you never update teams or Company Portal.
I don't know if this works for other MS mobile apps because I don't check my mail on my phone - but I assume just adding them to the deny list would be the only step extra you need to take.
Thanks!!

For me it works without props config and with the latest version of MS Teams and the Intune portal app. Use Shamiko (latest), configure denylist but don't enable denylist in Magisk. Magisk is hidden (some banking app which I use checks the Magisk package name).

I'm not sure what was wrong but simply doing those steps did not work for me. I had to start from scratch and that's why I wrote all this up.

Awesome! This is the only method that worked for me after hours of struggling. Thank you!

Method is not working for me. Followed all steps

Not worked for me. Intune still detecting the root

This seems to be an ongoing evolving issue; especially in light of recent updates/events. There are many threads on the site here discussing it, although I've seen some that have been successful (but in various different device forums). The thread (linked below) seems to be fairly up-to-date recently updated that looks most promising...
[Tutorial] [Root] How to configure 'Microsoft Intune' to make it work with 'Magisk' (Update: Q1/2023)
Update 04.01.2023: I've updated/added additional steps to make this tutorial work again. This question was asked many times and often all the answers did not work: How do I get Magisk to work with Microsoft Apps like Microsoft Teams, Microsoft...
forum.xda-developers.com

Rooted Pixel 6A, rooted and literally <24H out of box. All I did was:
1. Hide Magisk (obviously)
2. Enable Zygisk
3. Configure DenyList (every Microsoft app I saw)
4. Enforce DenyList
5. Reboot
Portal passes device health test, and Teams works like a charm. Both are installed straight from Play Store.

Question Security message when running an app

Hello
I installed the Marriott app this morning, and when I go to run it, i get that security message along the bottom third of the screen, and the app shuts down.
What is causing that?

It is detecting root/magisk.
Add Marriott to Zygisk hide list, then clear Marriott storage&cache, force close and reopen.
I downloaded the app and installed it to test. If you don't clear the app cache (and only force close and reopen) it will not work. You must clear that before opening again

Thank you App
I followed your instructions, but I still get that message.
Should I have rebooted after adding to the list??

No. That's not necessary. The following 3 steps is all you need

I cleared storage, force closed, and run it.
I get that initial welcome screen of the app, and before I can press on the SIGN IN button, it closes forcefully.
This happens no matter how many times I repeat the steps.

What magisk version and modules are you using?
Also, what Android/oos version are you using?
Do you have device certification in play store? Or what's your YASNAC result?

After some more poking around, that app detects everything. I attempted to monitor the https traffic to see what contacts are made at app-boot. It detects that I'm monitoring traffic. I attempted to use frida to bypass the ssl pinning so I can monitor traffic. It detects that I'm using frida. All of those cause a close condition.
This could mean, if it detects anything abnormal, you're gonna get force closed. The whole toast not showing up is annoying. You might be able to adjust your font/text size for the system in Accessibility, to see the full text.
If you have busybox or anything else you can think of that might be detected, try disabling them or any questionable modules like lsposed, restart, then see if you can open the app.
I looked inside the app and don't see some of the stuff as strings, and existing strings are already using some reflected values in another index. It appears to use some kind of library that is checking for root, certification, ssl certificate pins, frida, probably xposed and so on. Then retrieving the response from an api.
My thought was to repackage the apk without root checks for you but if they're doing that much for security, there's almost no chance I will be able to launch the app with self signing for the apk.
Having the full toast response would be helpful here

Wow App.. How detailed, you are.
Here are my modules plus Universal Safetynet fix. I'm running a13 f.17 build.
I'm not sure how to proceed. I installed it on my wife's phone and used it..

Here's a reddit thread with someone else fighting with the Marriott Bonvoy app.
old.reddit.com/r/Magisk/comments/yf8gyu/help_hotel_app_detecting_root/
Its quite ridiculous that a Hotel app is so restrictive and difficult.
I just (briefly) tried running the app inside Island, but still got the toast nags / close.
Interestingly I get one of two nags "you're on an unsecure network" or "we've detected magisk, etc)

I wish that I had twrp to blame, but I don't have it installed.

Hey there,
I did some looking at older versions of the app (apkpure has them). On my phone (Android 9, Magisk 23) the last version that will run (using MagiskHide with all the 3 boxes ticked for the marriott app), is 10.4.0.
Marriott Bonvoy™ 10.4.0 (Android 9.0+) APK Download by Marriott International - APKMirror
Marriott Bonvoy™ 10.4.0 (Android 9.0+) APK Download by Marriott International - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads
www.apkmirror.com
Version 10.5.0 starts giving me nags.
(Sometimes it is just easier to use an older version of an app, than fighting to get the very latest to work!)

Mine is 10.13.1. not sure what got updated. I usually don't want to get stuck with old version, so I'll just use the website to make reservation and redemption. Yikes

I heard Magisk Delta by HuskyG could hide it from detection. Has anyone been brave enough to try? Well, I tried and it didn't work. I tried the whitelist mode by leaving Marriott out of the SuList and many other banking apps too. But it still detects root. Marriott app version 10.13.1. Older version say 10.12.0 and below should survive.
