Safetynet problem - Elephone S7 Questions & Answers

This is mainly regarding the new Super Mario Run.
On my phone it doesn't launch. With a bit search I found out that you need to pass the the Safetynet Test that Google implements on some games etc like Google Pay.
I tried some tests but it fails because of CTS Profile match: False.
I haven't rooted or changed the ROM on the phone. It's exactly how I got it.
Any ideas?

Same here. Elephone S7 Mini fails the Google SafetyNet CTS test...
Does anybody knows something about this..?
btw; except the launcher3 fix, I didn't do any other kinds of mondifications (eg root) on the phone yet.

[Q] S Health "James Lee" Problem

Alright guys,
Essentially I'm having a little problem with my S Health App, I am on the rooted N9100f phone with the Echoe rom installed.
every so often my S Health app seems to reset my profile to a Jame Lee born 01 Jan 1970, 4' 11" and 110lbs. I feel sorry for the human if he does exist but I'm not sure why this is happening. Does anyone have any experience with fixing this or just it happening to them.
Also I don't seem to be about to restore to a backed up S Heath profile which is kind of weird.
Anyways Cheers in a advance
I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you have multiple personality disorder, and are changing it yourself.
Sorry, no clue.
That's because you are James Lee.... you've always been James Lee <que dramatic music>

S Health "James Lee" Problem
Some of you use xmodgames? I think this is the problem. I get the same problem, when i uninstall the app, I dont get any errors on S Health.

It's not xmodgames, as I don't have that installed on this phone and never did.
I have the exact same issue. I highly suspect it is one of the root apps messing with some background Samsung service which S Health requires to work properly. Will be watching this thread and trying to figure out what exactly causes this. I hope we get to the bottom of this soon.

I don't have my s5 active rooted or x mod games and see this James Lee issue now too on S Health. Could it be default values set by samsung dev when app is reset?
This happens when xposed framework is being installed cause it has issues with S-health secure server. It is a need of disabling s-health server security to make the phone work with xposed without issues. Everytime xposed get reinstalled the S-health app resets. You then got to install the backup from your S-health sync service and all is well. Rmember to sync just before updating or installing xposed (or Roms with xposed) to not loose data.
Wanam xposed kit has this option to deactivate secure server to make xposed framework function well with phones having S-health. Most custom rom implements xposed framework and then probably also need to disable secure server.
Edit. To be able to sync/backup S-health, aecure server must be disabled first by installing Wanam kit or other xposed apps with this option. Many custom roms also implements Wanam features.

Xposed bugged down Stock Nougat

I was having issues with stock Nougat rebooting, crashing and not being able to pass the SafetyNet. I was using three modules on Xposed. I was using YouTube adaway, gravitybox and YouTube background playback.
Once I uninstalled the modules and uninstalled Xposed..... The stock Nougat was running fast and smooth. I didn't know how much Xposed was affecting the ROMs performance.
Has anyone expience the same issue with Xposed on stock Nougat?

I agree big time unfortunately. I had those three (and others) modules installed and it would reboot at least once a day. I found out that Youtube Background Playback was crashing Youtube at startup so I removed it completely. Also, I've found that the only version of Xposed that doesn't cause the crashes is 89.1. So I've remained steady there, despite the newest being 89.3 (I haven't tried 90 yet). Hope this helps.

Since I wasn't using many modules I found a YouTube replacement and I can live without Gravitybox. I am using YouTube Vanced for rooted device and it's does the same thing no ads and background playback.
I was using version 89, but don't remember if it had .3. I used the installer to pick the latest one. All I know is that the ROM has improved in performance. I like the mods from Gravitybox, but I don't want to sacrifice performance.
YouTube was crashing at start up, but it was version 2.04. There is a 2.05 version, but you have to get it from the repo source, because it's not on the XDA thread. Once I installed version 2.05 YouTube was not crashing.
Besides not rebooting, Do you think you are loosing some performance on 89.3? Is there a way to pass the SafetyNet with Xposed?

I used this previously and stopped. It was slow to catch up with official youtube updates, and honestly, didn't work correctly. That was ~6 months ago, so maybe it's better now?

If you used Magisk to install Xposed, it was likely 89.3. I agree that GravityBox is awesome, but does seem to suck speed and battery. I feel the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

No of course not. Was passing SafetyNet good for anything other than NFC Pay apps? If not, the G4 doesn't have NFC so it doesn't matter!

Cannot Theme Google Play Store

Okay I decided to finally root this phone...wanted my black theme again vs keeping my L1 encryption. :silly:
Straight forward process all setup and running (unlocked USA 6T not TMO branded) HOWEVER two things...
1.) Google Play Store doesn't seem to want to stick a theme. I can theme everything else no problem. Substratum says the theme applied successfully. It on a rare occasion will theme black but then after a little bit it goes back to stock white and without an applied theme. I tried Swift Black, Flux, and Pitch Black. All same issue. It shows applied successfully and is "green" in substratum showing it's applied and active. Launching Play Store sometimes it sticks (and is black themed) and sometimes it doesn't (no theme applied). It's more doesn't than does. Any thoughts? I'm in the USA so it's English not a foreign language that I'm using (as I read other languages for Play Store cannot be themed).
2.) Google Pay. I kept getting your device is rooted cannot setup. Is this a problem with Magisk v18 primarily? I pass CTS in Magisk. Then I setup Pay. It fails when adding credit card with that error and then when going back into Magisk it'll now say "false" and fail of Safety net. Reboot phone. It's back to true (passed), add card, and fails.
The fix for me was to set Magisk to "hide." Now it passes safety net and was able to add my credit card but in return I cannot theme Magisk since it's hidden. Is that the compromise for now these days?
Otherwise enjoying my Adaway, VIper4Android FX, and substratum again. If this is posted elsewhere I didn't see it. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction did a general surfing of the threads didn't see anything.
I noticed if I add Google Play to Magisk hide then the theme does not work for it. Once I removed Google Play from Magisk hide list the theme instantly came back.
Edit:
As for number 2 the Google Pay issue, the search is your friend. It is a known issue with the latest Google Play Services. Check here for more information and a temporary workaround: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/discussion-google-pay-magisk-discussion-t3906703

I was hiding root from the Play Store. Unchecked, for now it's a black theme yay.
#2 I'll go read the thread. I was searching in the OnePlus 6T section rather than in the Magisk thread. Good point. I'll read through it thank you! :good:

That did it for me, also helped me theme another app which was giving me a headache, thanks for the suggestion! But now play store fcs anytime I try to open anything while the overlay is active. Gonna reinstall and it see if that fixes it.
Yup running smooth now, and the theme sticks full time. Thanks for the suggestion never would have thought Magisk hide would interfere with substratum overlays

Yeah makes sense now but didn't think about it either. 100% confirm theme works perfect now.
Google Pay now seems like a total cluster I read that entire thread. I got the cards added but haven't tried using it yet. End of the day, it's not a deal breaker.

Pokémon GO on switch?

I was just curious if pokémon go is possible on the switch since there is no GPS. If there is a possibility even with a spoofing app, how would one go about installing it on the switch. Thanks in advance.

Good morning, a week ago I was trying to install Pokemon Go on the switch to use Fake GPS ....
Unfortunately I saw 2 barriers.
1- The Switch does not have GPS, an essential requirement for most Joysticks.
2- We cannot connect the switch via ADB. This would also be essential to use the SmaliPatcher.
3- Magisk cannot pass the second safetynet check...
I am not an expert, far from it, but if you want we can try it together. I think there are a lot of people who would appreciate being able to play PoGo on the switch with LineageOS
The latter two points are irrelevant, as with the newly released Android 10 for the Switch, I've managed to use Smali Patcher without issue and fix the SafetyCheck with just a lil bit of googling (duckduckgoing, actually, but it doesn't quite roll off the tongue). Pokémon GO runs without a hitch and the only issue right now is that the GPS Joystick app insists I turn on the location. If we can find a workaround, we're golden.

My Setup is Smali Patcher and this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.fakegps_route&hl=en_US&gl=US (I've got the paid version) I've just unticked both "Android 10 FusedLocationApi" and "Smali Patcher Mode" under App settings and it's been working without any problems.

Why I've rooted SM-N9860

For few months I used stock N9860 (CHC), but after the Android 11 update Android Auto stopped working (in the car). I guess because of the side loaded of the Play Market etc. Resets, reinstalls etc. didn't help. So I've decided to accept the black side
Installed TGY Android 11 firmware (btw, downgrade to Android 10 is possible), rooted using @Mentalmuso TWRP and Magisk (now the phone shows scary red messages during the boot sequence , fixed SafetyNet check with the proper attestation so file and added native call recording and network indicator to the cscfeatures.xml.
As a result, Android 11 works fine, Android Auto works, Google Pay works etc.
And no more Samsung Pay, Samsung Pass and Secure Folder (I never use them).
Why I haven't done it earlier?
Don't you lose stuff like Netflix in HD, some banking apps, some games and so on.
I'm totally fine with TGY, android auto, banking apps, Samsung pay, Samsung secure folder and so on.
But if you are happy, then great for you!
As long as SafetyNet check is passed with the latest Google security updates it shouldn't be any issues with the apps. I see the Netflix in Play matket at least. (but I have no single reason to use it because of their territory based restrictions and availability of the plex + radarr + sonarr etc.)
The only inconvenience I have is the scary texts during the boot of the device

What network are you on?
Would you be able to point out on instructions on how to root our great device? I had S8, S10e and never rooted them but now since one fellow XDA member found a hack on how toake eSIM work I'm going to root but don't know how.
P.S. Also I'm on CHC region so Samsung Pay is useless for me there and I never used secure folder and stuff from Samsung.
A week has been passed since I rooted the device. So far so good. No issues, no glitches...

Mind sharing how you did it, mate?
Regardless of SafetyNet you will lose function of some Samsung app like secure folder or Samsung pay because it blows the fuse for Knox, after its blown there is no way to get it back. But if you don't care about those then I guess it's a win win.

FALSE
With magisk you overpass that stuff
I am rooted and can use properly any bank app, sPay, sHealth, Google pay ....

Really, I was not aware you could get around it. I was always under the impression once you trip Knox their is no way to get it back.
I'm actually happy to be wrong lol.
I've finally figured out the root cause of the issue I have and this is because of the "root", unfortunately.
To make Google Pay working, I need to apply "Universal SafetyNet Fix", it effectively disables hardware ctsProfile attestation and SafetyNet is green - Google Pay works fine. But. This fix breaks some crypto workflow internals (JNI can't check signature etc.) and StrongSwan VPN client can't do reauth (if you use certificate based authentication) - after the initial connect, in AUTH_LIFETIME timeout (usually it is 10-20 minutes), VPN tries to reauth and can't, so connection hangs.
So I have a sad choice - either Google Pay or VPN. I'll try to look into the sources of the fix and vpn client (both are open) but it takes so much time (workaround is to diasable ipsec reauth, but it weakens the security).
Any ideas much appreicated.

try using this module to pass safetynet instead. This worked for me but I am not using that VPN so can not really check.
