I'm interested in playing Pokemon GO again, and of course many months ago they ****ed thousands of Android users by blocking rooted devices. I hear Magisk works, but this (as far as I know) is not an option because we have a locked bootloader. But I also heard Suhide by Chainfire works. Is it possible to use Suhide on the Flex 2? Or Magisk for that matter?

I was considering picking this phone up and was wondering if any got the Magisk to work with the existing rooting method of the T-Mobile variant?
Does using LGUP to flash the modified TOT/KDZ file modifies the ramdisk or boot img in anyway?
No response....but anyway....I picked up the G5 and rooted with phh superuser...flash topjohnwu Magisk same with his systemless xposed...and good news everyone....everything works including Android Pay.
I have a thread here discussing Android Pay while rooted on our G5s:

I thought I was the only one who cared about this kind of stuff!
Which version Magisk did you install?
I just did this 2 days ago but haven't had the opportunity to test AP yet.
What rooted apps are you running? AdAway?
I came across this article last weekend, and I don't even know if it will work.

I was then pointed at the following by a fellow forum member (but it needs ROOT, which causes issues with Android Pay etc): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trivisionzero.getassistant
So, doe anyone know of a way that gets Google Assistant without the need to root?

Sadly there is no way to get it without root. You need root to either add to the build.prop on Nougat, An xposed module on Marshmallow or a modified Velvet.apk on Marshmallow. Open Gapps requires TWRP which means you need an unlocked bootloader.
So, this is a slightly different question that what these forums are for.
I'm looking to install a ROM on my Z5, so I can have the latest version of Android and hopefully squash some bugs (especially random Bluetooth turning off). This is all well documented in the forums, but all these ROMs usually come with root included and here's where my problem starts.
There are many apps on my phone that won't work with root, like bank apps, Android Pay and Netflix just to name a few. So, I'd like to have a costume ROM that doesn't have root included. Xposed used to have a module for temporarily disabling root but from my memory, it was never reliable; and there's no Xposed for Nougat yet.
I know many of you install ROM in order to customize your phone as much as possible, my goal is not customization. My goal is to have the latest code, with the latest security fixes and with as many bugs fixed.
So, is there a ROM that I can install that comes without root? OR if there's a way to remove root from any ROM?
I do understand that my bootloader has to be unlocked, that's a given (just in case you were about to mention it). Also, rooting as an initial/intermediate step is also very acceptable, just not the final product.
You want custom rom and bypass netflix or bank apps, android pay etc. Custom rom is the meaning of BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED device, so there is no way to bypass these apps without Root on custom roms. Magisk or some Xposed modules do that, but not guaranteed.
Flash STOCK FTF on my thread (steps 1-14) and then flash your TA BACKUP. This will lock your bootloader..

Hi everyone,
Firstly, I'd like to state that I have researched before asking here!
So recently I had issues with my phone and thought the system was modified somehow, thus invalidating safety net. I reflashed today with a fresh download of the July update from google to try to fix it, but to my amazement with magisk uninstalled the phone still could not pass safety net and samsung pay for my gear s3 wouldn't operate and the play store was still not certified.
I noticed that there was a recent issue that topjohnwu fixed so I tried magisk beta to see if that helped but I'm stuck on the same issue. Is there an ongoing issue that I'm missing here and it is a matter of patience and updating?
Thanks kindly in advance for any input as my research has led me nowhere too useful.
need a bit more information... is your bootloader unlocked? If your bootloader is unlocked, and you do not have magisk installed to workaround safety net, you will not pass safety net without magisk installed unless you relock your bootloader...
building off what djer34 said, if your bootloader is unlocked, in addition to magisk, i believe you also need a patched kernel that can hide the check for if your bootloader is unlocked. my safetey net passes with root + flash kernel + bootloader unlock + magisk
Can i install xpose without root ?

Rooting and having Xposed are not related. You just need an unlocked bootloader with custom recovery for installing Xposed. Doesn't matter whether you are rooted or not. Though most of the modules might need you to root your device for full functionality of the modules, but I have tried many without even rooting the device.
However you have to forget about both rooting and installing Xposed in Realme 2 model, as this device is just for kids. It doesn't have fastboot binaries in the first place. Currently the only way to root this device is via Miracle Box which is again a paid software with a hardware. Therefore I wouldn't recommend this phone at all to anyone. Apart from rooting and all, it doesn't even have native theme store unlike older Oppo branded phones. This is the worst android phone I have ever used.
A good hardware and asthetics ruined by bad OS.
Not going to buy color os based phones again .
