PLAY POKEMON GO WITH ROOT SWITCH NEW METHOD (CANT BE PATCHED)

i did this on my samsung s7 edge g935f and have not tested on anything else but should apply across the board realy

before we get started

u will need to have your phone at stock with no root and pokemon go working on that stock rom

(been trying on lots of note 7 port roms with no look hopefuly crack that one day)

IF U ARE NOT DOING THIS ON A SAMSUNG INSTALL TWRP ON YOUR DEVICE AND START AT STEP 5 IT WILL WORK

AND I MANAGED TO GET THIS TO WORK WITH EVERY COUSTEM ROM TO IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE ME TO ADD SUPORT FOR THAT PLZ LET ME KNOW

STEP ONE

download all files

no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6bGIsDu5O5pV3JkX2JUV290MEU/view

systemless super su

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6bGIsDu5O5pbWNHSFJEQjhLY2s/view

coppy them two to a micro sd card and put in your phone

samsung smart switch for pc

http://www.samsung.com/uk/smart-switch/samsung-desktop-app.html

twrp for g935f ONLY
download the one for your device

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6bGIsDu5O5pMnRfRmxUYThWZ1E/view

odin

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6bGIsDu5O5pbGlobkVTZWFkYmM/view

for use on pc

STEP TWO

on your phone go to settings/about phone/software info/ and tap the biuld number 5 times to unlock developer options

and and go into developer options turn on usb debuging and and oem unlock

STEP THERE

install smart switch (only used for the phones drivers) and extract odin and run it click on the ap tab and load the twrp and click start

and instal twrp and w8 for reboot and boot stright to twrp (vol-up and power and home)

STEP FOUR

insatl no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip in twrp from the instal tab and reboot after and instal pokemon go and test it (if working carry on)

STEP FIVE

boot into twrp again and go to the backup tab. untick everythin but boot(40mb) select storage as sd card and swipe to back up then reboot

on your phone go to myfile and go to sd/twrp and find your backup it will begin with a date and rename that folder to stock

STEP SIX

boot back into twrp and install super su system less DONT reboot.

go back and backup boot only again then reboot

go to myfile again and go to sd/twrp and find your backup it will begin with a date again and rename that folder to root

not u can switch between stock and root just b flashing tho boot files and takes seconds

i have been useing this for days now and u can istall as mennt root apps as u like aslong as u flash the stock boot it will allways let u use any app thats blocks root

Got it working on the note 7 port Rom
[Android Apps and Games] henderjr:
I'm on a Note 5 and going to give this a try using my version of TWRP. Will edit this post and report findings!

Able to boot after flashing the first .zip. Always got boot loop previous after flashing TWRP but not flashing root! Thanks for the solution!

Basically the minimum I want is the ability to remove my boot sound and update my hosts file. This lets me do that but otherwise be stock. Good enough. Wish I had xposed, root, but still Android Pay and PGO without reboots but that's ok.
[Android Apps and Games] TLEAF-TOM-LEE:
If u need a hand let me know
[Android Apps and Games] draqkin:
I can not install "no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip" it says :

"Error: Unpacking boot image failed!"

I am using Note 4 (N910c)

Update : so i have learned that i dont need no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.1.zip

my phone dos not have encryption :) so i basically skipped that step and *bang* i am rooted and can play pokemon. Thanks much

Is this working on android nougat?

Thx

Anyone tried this yet? im itching to root my pixel xl but cant live without pokemon go and snapchat
[Android Apps and Games] TLEAF-TOM-LEE:
works fine if the root u use is systemless

Tut for pixel and pixel xl

[Android Apps and Games] Souler19:
Can anybody confirm that this is true for me? I haven't seen anyone else mention this.
[Android Apps and Games] Alison.Souza:
Hello, I would like your help.

First of all, sorry for my poor English.

I installed the Root Switch to use Pokemon Go, but my phone crashed and rebooted while I played. After that, I was not able to activate root again, including the SuperSU app says my cell does not have Root.

Does anyone know how I should proceed? Would redoing root solve my case?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] mattzeller:
Yeah, just reroot and you will be fine
[Android Apps and Games] Alison.Souza:
Thanks mattzeller! It worked!
[Android Apps and Games] Wetzel402:
Just to clarify, this requires an unlocked bootloader correct? I am on the g930v with is locked.
[Android Apps and Games] TLEAF-TOM-LEE:
Yes that's correct
[Android Apps and Games] Alison.Souza:
It looks like the Root Switch has stopped working, at least here on my S4 I9505 with Android 5.0.1.

Anyone else going through this?
[Android Apps and Games] proza:
Root Switch never work on my G900T S5 with Lollipop 5.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] dratsablive:
There was a safetynet update last week that breaks RootSwitch. Had to go the Magisk route but now can use Android Pay along with PoGo
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nory82688:
Just curious if anyone who has ordered a Pixel or Pixel XL gotten their tracking info or any kind of update at all?

I preordered last week , (32gb Blk XL) , and when I check my status of the order, it still says "pre ordered" and nothing else. The free Chromecast shipped yesterday lol.

Really I'm just curious to see where everyone's best buy orders are at. Has anyone received theirs yet?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] arcanexvi:
No movement yet.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rootuser3.0:
I ordered mine the same day it became available on bestbuy site and it still says "pre-ordered" next to status.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] arcanexvi:
My chromecast shipped at 930pm so they've got about 2 hrs if they're following the same schedule with 2 day shipping as stated when I ordered.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nory82688:
I've even emailed Best Buy twice about it, and still haven't heard anything.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] arcanexvi:
They're probably slammed with people calling/messaging about it. I checked the automated system and it still says arrives by 10/20
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nory82688:
How do you check that?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] arcanexvi:
Their automated phone system.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
Still waiting

Status still sitting at preordered here as well. I really hope we see some movement today!:confused:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
Same here on my end. Hopefully the status changes to shipped today.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nory82688:
Just checked again. Still showing "preordered." I mean, it wouldn't be the first phone I've ever preordered/purchased online that the shipping status never changed and still showed up on time, but it's still an uncomfortable feeling lol I'd rather know for sure.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] SFGKAL:
I'm in the exact same boat here. Still in Pre-Ordered/Processing
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] theKVD:
I spoke to a BB rep yesterday around 5pm EST about my XL Silver 32 for the big V. He said that the pre-ordered status wont change until launch date but that the phone was still scheduled to arrive by the 20th. He said it should ship today (his timeline) or tomorrow to arrive but I wouldn't see tracking info until thursday. So....yeah....not sure how much I believe that lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] SFGKAL:
FWIW I spoke to a Best Buy rep over the phone, and she said that since the phone comes out 10/20 it cannot ship before then. She did not sound very knowledgeable, so take with a grain.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
Both of my orders with Best Buy now show preparing!!! Just wanted to update you guys. :D:D:D
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
well congrats. Mine still says pending.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] theKVD:
I'm now showing preparing as well. Seems none of the reps we talked to know what they're talking about. For what it's worth I ordered on the 5th around 9pm. Now lets see if they give me ground or overnight and hit the actual window they promised up front.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] CrispCleanFresh:
When did you order?

---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Status changed from "Pre-ordered" to "Order Received" just now. Ordered Oct. 11 around 10pm..
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
Ordered on 10/8.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] egren58:
Heycguys quick questions since you guys are ordering from best buy I am assuming you all have verizon
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
Yep, if I'm not mistaken, I believe that's the only available way to order via Best Buy at the moment.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] egren58:
What's the price for two lines and two phones. I currently have T-Mobile by t I want the pixel xl
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
The two lines would $20 each, plus the monthly fee of $31 for the device unless you plan on purchasing out right. Your plan would obviously vary. You also would get the $200 Best Buy gift card for each phone fore switching as opposed to the $100 gift card offer for an upgrade.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] theKVD:
Woah wait. $200 per line if it's new? Mine only gave me $100 for new.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
100 for me as well per phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] egren58:
So I lf I want the 24gb plan which cost 110$

I would pay

40+110+31+31+Taxes= roughly 230$ per month?. Correct?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
If you are a new Verizon customer or adding a line, it's $200:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
That sounds about right, yes.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] egren58:
Man that's 100$ more per month for me. :( I think I am going to have to wait to find a used one on swappa
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] theKVD:
BB.com still shows 100 for new lines. Hey, take it. I may use that screen shot to my advantage ;)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
I actually put in my information as though I was adding a line, so maybe it's something with that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] theKVD:
Same here when I ordered. May be a regional thing too. Who knows. I'm not stressed either way, I just want my phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
Right, me too! If I could just get shipping confirmation I might be more productive at work lol!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
Thats crazy that they are giving an extra 100 more for adding a line. I would have thought they would have done 200 for new or add.

Oh well....
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
Looks like it's not just for the Pixel either. Attached is what comes up when you click the link:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
Got the option to come up now. I called best buy customer service regarding. They said when I go to activate it should bump it to 200. If not I will have them return the phone and re-ring it up so I can get the 200 gift card.

Thanks for the heads up.

EDIT 2-- Called my friend who is a manager at best buy. looks like I will get screwed out of the 200 gift card. Since I am doing a port and I did the preorder, they said the port is already in process and the phones come activated when they ship them to our house. There apparently is a booklet that comes in the box for activation/porting.

If I cancel my order I could loose my phone number, which is definitely not worth me risking 100 for. Cant even return and re-ring the item because that also could mess with the phone number. Looks like I am just screwed. lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
WOW! That sucks guy. Sorry to hear that.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] theKVD:
Got my shipping confirmation! Next day air saver though still waiting pick up so.... Maybe tomorrow?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
That's awesome! Congrats, but I am super jealous! :)
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rootuser3.0:
If they don't ship my pre order tomorrow I'll be canceling and getting g the v20 lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
Wow...my luck gets worse. My "pre-order" has now been delayed until.......November 19th!! woohoo. What the hell was the point in pre-ordering on October 10th if I have to now wait one month.

I am going to see if a store has one(long shot) and get it earlier.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
Same here guy, I am so pissed right now! I'm gonna try the store as well, but so far it doesn't look like the odds are good. My Verizon stores have them, so I may just have to bypass the gift card!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
Just noticed that Verizon is now giving a lot more for trade in device. When I preordered they only wanted to give $126 for my Galaxy s6, now says 300. I am going to wait until my friends best buy opens to see if they have one in stock. Maybe I can luck out and get the 200 gift card and 300 for my trade.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
Now that would be an awesome deal!!! Good luck!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rootuser3.0:
Curious did you order black? Silver shows in Stock now and black out of stock

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Did you also order black?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
Yes; and honestly after reading the reviews of the black scratching easily I would be open to the white. My S6 now is white. I don't care either way....just not blue. I am not cool enough for the blue.

If my local best buy has the white XL in stock I will just go there and get it.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rootuser3.0:
I went through the checkout process for the silver XL and bestbuy trying to be slick on the final place order screen it switches from the XL with the correct model to the regular pixel and model indicating its the 5" pixel. I didn't order it as they would ship the smaller one.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
lol, what? that's crazy. I cant believe the crap they are pulling with this phone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rootuser3.0:
Yea I think I will wait next week for the v20 unless miraculously the xl comes in Stock. I cancelled my November 19th backorder I may just grab it from the playstore around that time
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gyrorobo:
I just ordered the silver XL from best buy and it still shows as XL in the order status. It also told me I could pick it up in-store in NYC but I opted for next day shipping instead so I should get it tomorrow. Status right now is 'preparing'.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
I ordered silver.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rootuser3.0:
They may be shipping you the smaller version as some pre-orders of silver are backordered so not sure how yours is preparing.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1Zero3forlife:
Mine is supposed to be delivered today!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
well piss in my cheerios. lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] chromecastultra.com:
Got my Pixel phone

I pre-ordered it and got it earlier than stated.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] SFGKAL:
Cancelled and ordered in-store pickup from Verizon. My phone will be ready in less than 2 hours.

I have to give up the free goodies, but this is a disaster.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nory82688:
Looks like I'm doing the same thing. Got the delayed email early this morning for 11/19, so I figured I'd cancel. Called my local Verizon store, and they have a bunch in stock. I'll just go buy one from there.

BB really **** the bed on this one lol
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] theKVD:
Gave up refreshing last night still in preparing, wake up to see it's out for delivery. Nice way to wake up! Now to hunt down the UPS driver cause waiting is driving me nuts!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rootuser3.0:
Did you order the xl?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] laduate:
I received an email saying that my black had been delay up to 30 days, pre-ordered on the 10th. Canceled the order and got it on store pick up at Verizon.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] theKVD:
Yeah. I got the Silver XL.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
I went the Verizon online order, local pick up route as well. Best buy has my blood pressure sky high. They had no answers in the store at all. They couldn't even place an order for me there after I cancelled my online order. I really hate to miss out on the freebies as well, but I can deal with horrible service.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1Zero3forlife:
I got mine through Best Buy, Silver XL.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Rootuser3.0:
Yea they try screwing me when I put the XL in cart on bestbuy.com check out my YouTube video

[youtube]CK0OR5MCIcs[/youtube]
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Iam_legend:
Earlier, I kept getting an error saying that the items could not be added to the cart when going through the upgrade process. Something is messed up with their system.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] theKVD:
Wow......the jerks at BB. Set it for a new number so I could port after in case something went wrong. BB set the new number to activate on the 22nd........

***UPDATE***

Best Buy is earning this sale. I have a rep from the 800 number who is on the phone with Verizon for me getting it fixed. Apparently at the supervisor level. At the moment, I'm not in a rage. Maybe the Blue Lanterns are right, there is hope.

***SECOND UPDATE***

Apparently the plan change (ie adding an additional line) was what was set for the 22nd. That is *hopefully* being taken care of right now. Keep you peeps updated as it goes in case any of you face this too.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1Zero3forlife:
I got my phone but I am confused. How can I tell if this is a Verizon phone? I think Best Buy sent me an unlocked version

Nevermind, it just had to download the verizon apps

Damn
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] gyrorobo:
That's definitely a site bug. Same thing happened to me this morning but I put the order in anyway. Order status showed as XL and it started processing pretty quickly, and I just received notice of it shipping through UPS now and I have a tracking number as well. Silver 32gb Pixel XL by the way. Also like 4 or 5 stores near me(north NJ), had '3 or fewer' silver XL's in stock I could've gotten for pickup.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] iceman4357:
Wow....update for me.... They had the XL White at a local best buy. Since I was porting over a number I decided to take a risk since mine was not due to arrive until November 19th.

I purchased the white XL as a "new" customer, got my number ported over. Also got the $200 Gift card and free chromecast! Now I went onto Verizon's website and the did in fact bump their trade in. So I will get $300 for sending them my S6. lol

The biggest pain was that I recently sold my house so they had to re-check my credit, then were asking for crazy junk like utility bill for my new address I just moved to. We cancelled that order and did it under my old address.

Guess it all worked out in the end. I wanted a black XL, but the white looks just as nice.

This phone is really freaking sweet so far. Just need to get used to it coming from Touchwiz for so many years. I will tell you I hate having the colored letters in Messenger. I can not find a way to turn it off in setting.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] 1Zero3forlife:
I love this phone, so much better than the Note 5.

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Nice! You made out. I got lucky and got the phone for free so I can't complain either.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] nory82688:
Finally got it after running around like a mad man all day lol . Day started off with Best Buy delaying my preorder until 11/19, which in turn I cancelled the order. Went to a local Verizon store to attempt to purchase the phone out right, but I needed a data plan to do so.... So obviously that didn't work out because I will never leave T-Mobile. Then called around to all the local best buys in a ten mile radius, no one had them. Then randomly I decided to go online one last time, found a Best Buy in NE Philadelphia that had one left. Purchased online for in store pickup, and took my time getting there . I'm finally at home with my new Google Pixel XL and relaxing :victory:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] M9guy:
Did anyone order from Best buy and checkout show a $200 BB gift card included ? The best buy web site shows you get a $100 best buy E - gift card with purchase of pixel or xl. Well when I ordered my black xl with payment plan on a new account the offers came up on checkout one was a $200 gift card and the 2nd option was the $100 gift card. The $200 gift card option listed something about available until 11-13-16 I believe. Any way I picked the $200 gift card I just hope that is what I get just because their web site only lists the $100 e gift at the main purchase pages. Unless the $200 one is a verizon one ?

Any way I ordered the black xl 32 gig model. I wanted 128 gig but bb does not sell the 128 gig. Another odd thing is during checkout verizon required me to port in a number from another carrier ? Maybe that is part of the $200 gift card. Guess I should have taken a screen shot of those offers for my proof so I for sure get the $200 gift card and not the $100 e gift card which is a bb one.

Also odd thing they showed the black xl 32 gig in stock at local best buy stores where the ship options showed 11-2-16 for 2 day shipping and 11-7-16 for free shipping those being expected delivery dates, so they estimated mine for pick up today being ordered today, where verizons web site lists them as being back ordered until 11-9-16 but this bb deal is better with the gift card plus a free chromecast.

So if anyone wanting a good buy check out best buy and chime in if you got a $100 or $200 gift card coming and if you can tell if your gc is a bb or verizon one ? The $200 one listed verizon promotion so hope the $200 is a verizon one and I will add it to my verizon bills lol.

I got mine 2 days ago. I was going nuts with the whole date change thing. You get a better idea by speaking to their customer service mobile department. Once they send you your contract via email and they charge you..... Your golden.

I'm running the community build 3.5.4

I'm liking the build, but the teal (sim1) colour isn't great, is there a way to change the colours? on OOS and CM there's always been a drop down in the sim menu, which seems to be missing in the CB. Is there somewhere in build.prop to change this? I've looked through a bunch of files trying to find "teal" or "blue" even sim1 or sim2 but no luck.
