Play store Error, incompatible device

Hello there,
Had trouble getting the 6045Y rooted with TWRP since it was on 6.0.1 locked bootloader, stock recovery.
Ended up flashing Eluga lollipop rom and was then able to flash TWRP 3.0, root etc.
I've now got lineage14.1, but a lot of apps in the play store say that they're not compatible with my device.
Checked the build prop, it says TCL instead of alcatel, but I'm 100% certain it's an alcatel.
- Tried changing things in the build prop
- Tried clearing play store cache and data
- Installed latest google play services in case
Not sure how to get rid of that message. I could download the apks for every app but that could take a while.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks for the help

There is an app in playstore which can spoof the playstore and make it think you are using a different type of phone that is compatible....

Nice, I'll have to see if it's still compatible considering it looks like an old app. I'll be able to try on monday when I get the phone back. If it does work I'll come back for the thumbs up.
Thanks a lot

Yeah it doesn't work unfortunately. App hasn't been updated in a while and gives me an error. I'll look for an alternative though.
Thanks

Aye that is a shame - used the app a couple of years ago and it worked like a charm
Did you try the build.prop tweak method described in the article at the end ? {you have to do a bit more than edit the file}

samsung gear s3 wont work

What's up everyone. Just got a Samsung gear S3 watch but am having a hard time installing the Samsung apps I need too since my phone is rooted.
I found a modded Samsung gear app that installed but I can't get the other apps I need installed.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction??

Bump

Mine was also rooted but everything worked fine. Try installing the apps from apkmirror.com
-however on android P the pairing doesn't work as intended, at least not from scratch

I can get the main app to install but it's the plug-in app that isn't working. I've tried a few diff ones and they won't install. Which one did you use??

Gotcha. I thought I did cause I can watch Netflix which won't run unless you hide root.
I tried like 4 versions off of the apk site and none installed.

Try to hide google pay app with "magisk hide" in magisk app
Edit:
Google Pay is working with my OP6 [email protected] and TWRP

Google pay is working fine for me too also rooted with magisk

Some people have begun to have issues with Magisk and safetynet tripping over the past few days, we're trying to figure it out in the Magisk forums. This appears to have coincided with the Android Pie release and it's possible modifications have been made to safetynet. John Wu is looking into it. There are a few additional modules you can try along with Magisk Hide. Some work for some people. I've had no luck yet personally.

Busybox always makes me fail safety net, even systemless. Make sure you haven't installed a magisk module with it or a custom rom with it. I think recent Google versions check for it.

Try clearing play store data. Same thing happened to me and my play store was uncertified from unlocking the bootloader. Once I cleared app data it was certified and could add my card.

Have you tried using the island app ?
Also you know you have to wipe/reset Google Play before you check again correct?
once you fail safety net it will always fail no matter what until you reset Google Play

Have the problem as well..
I have the same problem. Running OP6, Android P Developer Preview 4, TWRP recovery and magisk (v16.7).
Magisk hide is enabled for GPay as well as many other banking apps. I know for sure its something to do with GPay, since the other apps that initially complained and triggered safetynet, started running as soon as I enabled Magisk hide for those apps.

I finally found the route cause of gpay not working, it was my WiFi, I found the answer purely by accident when I was in a shop and had forgotten my wallet, so I did a last ditch attempt to set up gpay again with my mobile data and it worked first time, when I got home i deleted the app and reinstalled while trying to set up via WiFi again and I got the same error message, switched to mobile data and it set up perfectly.
I have no idea why my WiFi was stopping gpay from getting set up, but that was the cause, 100% certain.

Hi,
It was working before for me until 15th March, and now it completely stopped working. I've tried to re-add my card, but then it complains about the device is rooted or altered. I could keep device certification, and safetynet check passes. Tried these methods, nothing.
Does anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks

Update Magisk to v19 and clear data of the app, hide it in Magisk Hide and try to re-add it

I have a fix I u didn't have one, First of all hide all Google apps from Magisk hide.
Then goto setting, apps, permission and disable telephone permission of google play services. That's it.

Unsupported Magisk Version

Not sure how I got here.
Yesterday, went to pay at a Grocery Story with Google Pay, got a message that said "You can no longer pay in stores with Google Pay." Magisk seemed okay, seemed like I was passing SafetyNet (tried two different apps, including Magisk's built-in checker). No big deal, paid the old-fashioned way.
Today, I decided since Magisk or Google Pay was going to be that way, I might as well update EMUI—I've put it off for a good six months or so, because everything was working fine. Now that it wasn't, why not do the whole shebang?
Update went smoothly. Now on B376 (I think).
Updated Magisk. Patched boot.img, all that.
Now, however, I'm getting this screen, and I think somewhere I must have flashed the wrong Magisk. I'm still rooted (Adaway works), but MagiskManager won't get past this screen.
Any ideas on how to do this properly so Magisk and MagiskManager are on the same page?

Hi Daina,
same problem here with a HTC U11. Unfortunately no ideas and no workaround yet.

Hi Daina
I downloaded the new Magisk Release 18.1 from github.com and installed the ZIP File via TWRP. After a reboot everything works fine now.

Thanks for this.
Just downloaded Magisk 18.1.zip from Github. It's currently on my computer.
My question is... how do I install it at this point? I don't have TWRP on my Mate 9, since it's so finicky to use. Yesterday, after I updated EMUI, I installed Magisk Manager, and had it sort of install/do its thing. I assume it downloaded its own Magisk, though which version, I have no idea. I used the custom channel found here.
However, now that I'm retracing my steps, I just noticed the verbiage in @Wirmpolter's guide, that says
Latest Magisk Manager and magisk work now so no longer need to setup and flash the specific version found in the original post from topjhnwu.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So... no need to use the custom channel URL from Magisk Manager. Got it.
Any advice on how to proceed? Currently... I have Magisk and Magisk Manager installed. Magisk Manager is 7.0, but Magisk itself, I suspect, is not 18+.
If I had to lay it out, I might try:
Uninstall Magisk (uninstall.zip, or whatever it's called)
Reinstall Magisk Manager 7.0
Use @Wirmpolter's instructions, pulling, patching, and re-pushing boot image (again!) in fastboot.
Is there an easier way to do this? Just curious.
EDIT: Another quick question to the big bad XDA world out there: do I flash the Magisk uninstall zip in fastboot, as well?

So I did it.
I uninstalled Magisk Manager 7.0, which didn't work with the version of Magisk I flashed yesterday.
Installed an older Manager just to bring up the interface.
From there, I uninstalled Magisk completely, using the Uninstall option from within the manager.
Then I followed @Wirmpolter 's guide, only getting stuck when my computer refused to see my phone in fastboot. I finally managed it, though, and now I have Magisk 18.1, with the Magisk Manager 7.0 interface.
Google Pay is still failing, though, even though I pass Safety Net.
Anybody have any clues why?

Try using play services version 15.1.78 beta, others had this too but that version of play services fixed it (for some reason).

Thanks. No luck. Obtained 15.1.78 beta from apkmirror, and installed. Tried it on the Coke machine at work, same screen.
Someone on reddit ended up wiping cache and data on Google Play Store and Google Play Services, but then they ended up having to set up their cards again in GPay. Do you think this is the way to go?
Was trying to avoid having to set up cards again, since one of my cards involves having to call the bank to get it authorized...

Hi Daina,
after a short-lived success I ended with the same problems the next day. Afterwards I tried all suggestions from various forums but nothing worked.
After a short period of frustration I decided for a radical solution and installed a new OS on my HTC U11. (Lineage unofficial)
And... surprise! GPay works without any flaws.

Rooted or unrooted? Im desperate for a solution

Hi guys. Im really hoping someone can help me here. This is my first post here so dont hate.
So I've been using this op6 since a year now.
My main issue- Unrooted but cant use some apps and games. They all crash because im supposedly rooted.
Tried installing the mario kart tour today. Had a similar issue with pokemon go so had to stop playing. Some banking apps refuse to work (axis bank). And most importantly Fortnite. This was the first app i tried installing on my phone after buying it. Crashed right after i jumped from the bus.
Confirmed facts about my phone to make this a faster process:
Unrooted (checked on root checker)
Developer options switched off
Oem locked
Passed safety net check from the app on playstore
Bought from the official oneplus store. Brand new out of the box.
Receiving latest OTA updates.
No supersu installed
Latest security patch updated via ota
Any information regarding this would be highly appreciated. I have nowhere else i would be able to explain this scenario.
Thanks

Try to install Magisk (if rooted) and select app or game in "Magisk hide" to say your smartphone is not rooted
If not rooted look if you're installed last update of Android système webview in Google play store.

I'm not rooted. Infact my bootloader is still locked. Magisk wont work right?
Im wondering what exactly could be triggering the false positive on these games.
Android system webview is disabled

Maybe a Magisk folder is still on your device. Search for "Magisk" folder in file manager and if you find anything, delete it.

Nah buddy! No magisk was ever installed on the device. A deep search for such a folder yielded no results.
Someone help please!

Try turning off developer options. I've seen some apps which refuse to work with them on (Marrow). Just an idea

Ok you need to figure out if you have an app that is causing this installed. I recommend you do a factory reset, do not install any backups or apps when you go through initial setup, and then install and try any of your "problem apps" one at a time to see if they work.
