I am not responsible for any account bans or if you get kicked from the game.

I know there are modded Apk(s) for fortnite that bypasses the device check , but apparently many users have reported the VPN error which kicks them out of the game as soon as they land .

So what we are going to do here is that rather than modifying the Apk to remove the checks, we will try to fool every check using official apk.

If you are getting the same error then you can try following this guide.:o

Depending on what device you are using, you may fall under one these categories -

1. Got a supported Samsung device(Lucky *****).

2. Got a device with GPU supported but device itself isn't supported yet.(Eg. One Plus).

3. Got a device with neither GPU nor the device being supported(Eg. Redmi 3s Prime).

If you fall under 2nd or 3rd category , this guide is for you.

FOR THOSE WHO FALL UNDER 2ND CATEGORY -

You guys don't have to do much to set everything working as you only need to edit build.prop and maybe device model name too (Editing only build.prop asked me to join wait list when I logged in , in fortnite) . There are plenty of guides available on how to edit build.prop but I will mention a short one here :-

1. Root your device (Obviously , and yes don't bother trying it without root , it wont work :good:) with either SuperSU or Magisk because we are going to unroot it anyways .

2. Download any root explorer ( I use ES File Explorer , just enable root explorer from the menu)

***Alternatively you can do it with ADB as well , make sure you give root permission to ADB if you are not willing to see the permission denied error***

3. Open build.prop which is in /system with a text editor.

4. (i) Set ro.product.model to SM-G965F (eg. ro.product.model=SM-G965F)

(ii) Set ro.product.brand to samsung(eg. ro.product.brand=samsung)

5. Save it.

6. Reboot.

If you want to edit device model name then you can follow this guide:-

7. Unroot your device , it device should pass the device check now.

8. Enjoy.

FOR THOSE WHO FALL UNDER 3RD CATEGORY -

I am using a Redmi 3S Prime which falls under this category and you need to do a bit more of work to be able to play fortnite on your device.

1. Root your device with magisk only ( Magisk is needed to run GLtools and to hide root simultaneously )

2. Edit your build.prop as mentioned in steps in Category 2 .

3. Download GLtools and choose the 3rd option ( Install using Magisk ) and reboot .

4. Download Fortnite Installer( Don't open it or you have to clear Data, Cache , Force stop it and run it again) and open Magisk Hide to check Fortnite installer.

5. Open GLtools and select Fortnite Installer.

6. Check first option(Enable custom settings for this app), scroll down to check Use Fake GPU info and fake CPU/RAM info.

7. Hit use a template , Select Adreno 540 and Ram: 4 Gb.

8. Run fortnite installer and it should download fortnite apk for you now . Install fortnite.

9. After fortnite is installed , you may remove the installer . Do steps 4-7 for fortnite.

10. Go to Magisk manager -> Settings -> Hide Magisk Manager(This will replace Magisk by some random package name).

11. Reboot

12. Delete/Rename any magisk related folder in your storage .

13. Disable USB debugging and disable Developer Options (The game even checks for it -_-).

14. Run fortnite , download data , login with Epic games account .

If you don't get kicked just after jumping out of the bus or just after landing then there is nothing else to do .

Either way , Please comment if it works for you or not .

Happy Fragging :D
