So I'm trying to play Pokemon Masters on my Rooted original Pixel.
The game won't open because it's detecting the unlocked bootloader.
Is there anything I can do to hide the unlocked bootloader from the app? I'd perfer NOT to lose my root, and this game will not run if the bootloader is unlocked.

Hi guys I own a Motorola G4 Play 2016 (Harphia). I am having a hard time unlocking the bootloader for my device. I went on Motorlas bootloader unlock page. Then I followed all the steps to get the string of numbers and letters from my bootloader. Then I enter them in the verify box and it says my device is not qualified for bootloader unlocking. I don't know what to do I really want to root my device. The reason is to install Lineage Os and TWRP. I've tried rooting apps but they fail is that because of my bootloader. Also a side not it says my device is locked status 0. Any help would be great or other wise I will have someone from a root online based company root and unlock my phone. Thanks for the help
hello
i have rooted my note 10+ and flashed dr.ketan rom
and there is an app still detecting the root after using magisk hide and i think it checks if the bootloader is unlocked
and i was wondering is it safe if i relock the bootloader
edit:my banking app does work with magisk hide and the SafetyNet check is successful
Re-locking a bootloader will ensure that the device will only boot to OEM signed and provided Android Images.
FYI: For a custom ROM to be used ( with a few exceptions ), the bootloader must remained unlocked.
For the majority of phones if you try and re-lock the bootloader with LinageOS installed you will end up bricking your phone ( might be soft or hard brick depending on the device ).

Once u unlock bootloader never relock it many people have reported that their devices got permanently damaged after relocking bootloader
I see but is there a way to spoof it for other apps when it tries to read if the oem is unlocked or not
This is the app i am trying to hide the root from
Tawakkalna (Covid-19 KSA) - Apps on Google Play
Saudi official app to request curfew passes and other COVID-19 related services
play.google.com
For any app ( as this is also true for every service center ) it's an ease to detect whether phone's Android got tampered ( even rooted ). No reliable methods exist to bypass such a query, IMO.
Please Help I want unlock bootloader and root but got problem bootloader cant unlock oem unlock also no showing up.
If OEM unlock option isn't present then manufacturer doesn't allow it.
If SafetyNet Attestation fails means that pre-installed Android OS got tampered by whatever action you applied so far.
Hello,
i have to root my S8 pro now because the whole internal memory is nearly used by apps and system.
Is there a opportunity to root my device without unlocking bootloader?
I found magisk to modify the boot-partition and for example getting root on the device.
But you have to unlock the bootloader to flash the new boot-partition. I also read that unlocking bootloader always means that the whole device is resetted to factory-defaults which means losing all installed apps.
I have about 50 !! banking apps for generating TANs. For these apps, it's not enough to reinstall the app. You also need to reconnect the app (especially the device) to the banking account.
I think the only way to backup the the configured and connected app is to have root on the device, right?
My plan was to root the device without unlocking bootloader, then make a full-backup, unlock bootloader which resetting the deivce, and restore the full-backup.
After this, I un-root my device because the banking-apps check if a device is rooted. My plan is t re-roote the device using magisk only when needed and when no banking app is used, and then un-root it again.
Any idea how to solve my problem?
Regards

Root requires unlocked bootloader.Nice plan but it won't work.

Really?
unlocked bootloader ist neccessary all the time while device is rooted, not only when flashing?
The boot-loader is unlocked on my ROG 5. I had it rooted with magisk till very recently, however, I gave up root during last firmware update. Perhaps it wasn't a good idea! Since then, Google Play has been saying "Device is not certified". (Obviously, I need a certified device for GPay.)
Is it a must to have root & magisk when boot-loader is unlocked to overcome this problem? Thanks.
(I'm worried about re-locking the boot-loader because of potentially losing the ability to unlock it in the future again. So my preference is to leave it unlocked.)

Unlocked Bootloaders will always fail SafetyNet.
Magisk, Kdragon module is the only resort here.
Locking Bootloader is also a solution, but a big no - if you plan to root it later.
Thanks JazonX, I've once again gone through the painful process of activating it all. Long story short, things are working again . I've learnt my lesson (to retain root over a firmware update).
I had before unlocked bootloader after i did recovery and locked it , i got certified google play , as i read you have numerous times to unlock the bootloader
