How to fix “Device is not Play Protect certified” error

On Android Q our device will be listed as not certified on Google Play Store !

Here is how you can properly fix this issue for all Huawei P9 Lite & Honor 5c - running LineageOS 17.1 Android Q

Please follow those steps after you have already installed LOS 17.1 & GApps ( Platform = ARM64, Android 10, Variant = nano or micro )

- activate Developer options

- on Developer options you should activate "Rooted debugging"

- connect USB cable between your device and PC

- open the Play Store application and go to the link displayed there

- navigate to Device isn't certified and open register your device !

Here is how you can easly find your needed ID-Google Service Framework

From a command line on your PC you need to type :

Your ID will be displayed on something like this one : 4153567378211812572 !

Put your ID to "register your device" then confirm that you are not a robot and finally click on activate !

You need to wait about 5 ~ 10 minutes before to reboot your device !

After restarting the device you have to wait another 5 ~ 10 minutes before successfully registering on the Play Store application!

Warning :

Restarting the device is mandatory in the above operation, otherwise you will wait indefinitely for your Play Store to activate !

[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Thehilianx:
I did everything, it worked for some time and then magically out of nowhere when i opened the play store the protect alert jumped again, anyone knows how to solve this?

EDIT:

I can get it to work again but the process is stupidly complicated, you have to unlogin the google account, then delete all data from google services and google store, and the reboot and login in the play store.

Still waiting for a more permanent solution.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Matxilla:
Yeah mee too i do not understand why

Have you gotten it to work again?
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] -Alf-:
On some Q/R custom ROMs the following helps:

Set your phone to airplane mode. (Turn off Wi-Fi, and other networks)

Open Settings - Applications.

Clear the cache in the following apps one by one: Google, Google Play, Google Play Services, Google Play Services Framework. Clear only the cache, do not touch the data!

Run any file manager that supports access to system files (e.g. Solid Explorer). Go to the following path: /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs. Find finsky.xml file.

Open this file with a text editor and look for the line

<boolean name="device-google-certified" value="false"/>

(If this line does not exist, try simply adding it).

and change 'false' to 'true'. Save and close the file.

Close the file manager, clear the list of recent applications, turn off the Flight mode and reboot the device.

Check Google Play certification.

Ive just dont all of that but as soon as i reopen the store it errors me and sets it back to false

Would you think reflashing would help?

this method worked for me on [11] CAOS, but I don't know if it will help you.

A lot of methods related to editing props no longer work since 2020/21, Google does not sleep... :(
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Thehilianx:
Thanks man, that worked,but i did an extra step that was deleting all data not only cache from the google apps that you said, rebooted and it worked, if it stops working again ill say something, also installed the universal safetynet fix while i was at it.

Just two things left to say, magisk is very useful and again thanks for solving my problem.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Thehilianx:
Nah, its a google thing, maybe another rom, or not, try to install magisk and do the last thing Alf said
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Adi-ct:
i installed LineageOS on my old P9 lite...

the Play Protect uncertified device registration worked yesterday via https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ ... i left the phone unattended overnight and today i find out that same device has practically become a brick as far as Google apps are concerned.

Pretty much all the Google apps that i installed yesterday from the Play Store (and the Play Store app itself) now refuse to function anymore and they all show the same "uncertified device" screen.

I rebooted it multiple times, deleted the storage of the Play Store app and the Services Framework app, even started adb root shell and deleted the 3 db files under /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/

... that did not help either

View attachment 5977059

in the end i decided to delete the entire /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/ folder too (via adb root shell) and rebooted...

... after that reboot after deleting the gsf folder it only worked until i rebooted once more, and now it is showing that dreadful "uncertified device" screen all over again.

View attachment 5977069

I decided to repeat the experiment of deleting the entire /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/ folder via adb root shell ... and the same thing happened all over again...

First reboot after deleting the GSF files... the apps work...

View attachment 5977083

but after the second reboot they no longer work yet again. and show that uncertified device message.

i think that shows that Google is now actively hunting and blacklisting Huawei devices even if they are running LineageOS and are registered by individual users.
[Huawei P9 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] Adi-ct:
update: i tried reflashing LineageOS (LineageOS-17.1-VNS_2023-08-12.zip) without any GApps.... but now when booting the phone it stays for a while on the loading screen then kicks me back to twrp recovery...

Tried again re-reflashing without GApps... same thing happens, so i just added a GApps pico there... and it now boots normally to the LineageOS welcome screen.

is GApps is no longer optional but mandatory now?

another update: decided to re-re-reflash LineageOS, but this time i made sure to manually format system and vendor partitions before sideloading LOS without GApps...

now it works without GApps

and another update: decided to re-flash it again and re-added GApps pico. I tried LineageOS+ microG APIs (instead of GApps), but the microG API emulation does not seem to work properly.

This way at least even if it still shows that uncertified device warning after doing the self-registration with Google, since i'm not logged in a Google Account with it anymore i don't care. At least now i can use GPS mapping apps from other app stores - those seem to only require the Google location API, even if the device shows as "not certified" in the Play Store app from Google.

So,just got my OP9, literally few hours ago and just turned it on now, it's a LE2110 model (chinese?) flashed with OOS 11.2.4.4.LE25DA which seems to be an Indian version of OOS. Also, on Android if you turn on

I wasn't expecting modern SOC to be having difficulty maintaining smooth 60fps on a low end GPU game like Candy Crush. I capture using the framerate monitor tool in developer options. It looks like this affect MIUI since Android 10, but MIUI 12.5 still haven't fix this yet.

Currently on EU 12.5.4 Stable ROM.

Mi 11 Ultra Candy Crush with sound on - laggy graphic

Mi 11 Ultra Candy Crush sound effect off - Smooth graphic

Ignore how I match the candies, I was staring at the fps number most of the time. ;)
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] blackhawk:
Probably the app unless most games are doing it.

Audio shouldn't be eating huge amounts of cpu cycles or ram.

Might want to check the app's permissions and internet usage/connections as well🤣
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] masterxino:
I confirm. MI 11i has same 888 SOC. Check my video with FPS drops and Ghz log.

The problem is sound. Other old phones are fine.

Seems the more sound channels needs the worse.

Sending ‘recovery’ (19788 KB) OKAY [ 0.711s]

Writing ‘recovery’ FAILED (remote: ‘image verification error’)

Fastboot: error: Command failed

I had matter about connection between phone and pc but it seems that has been fixed.

Now fastboot devices indicates the same of adb devices

It seems to me a matter of partition inside the phone but there is no mention about such topic around (not at that stage of the procedure)

I'm stucked at that point, can someone be so kind to help me about?

Im coming from oneplus 5t to Nord n10 5g. There was a gesture you could use in the 5t where you slide your finger and the menu will drop down. but i couldnt find it in the nord 10.

Is it disable? o do i need 3rd party software?

[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] lbsilva:
I'm sorry but your post is a bit confusing to me and I just read the title again.

There's no such thing as fingerprint gestures, you can try asking on the Pixel Experience thread if that ROM supports fingerprint gestures, and if so, you can always flash it.
[OnePlus Nord N10 5G Questions & Answers] canibal:
in the 5T there was. It was the last oneplus that had that gesture, i guess it was because the sensor was located in the back. the 6, 6t and newer devices had the sensor underneath the screen, thats why it was not in use. but since the nord 100 and nord 10 have the sensor on the back, i am a little surprise the it didnt come with it.

Hello friends

I just want to share how to root A21S stock rom in case anybody needs it:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. (On PC) Extract boot.img.lz4 from AP...tar file, then copy it to phone

3. (On phone) Install ZArchiver to extract boot.img from boot.img.lz4

4. (On phone) Install Magisk_patched_for_A21S.apk (thank grccorps for this excellent magisk) and patch the boot.img that you have just extracted from step 3

5. (On PC) Copy magisk_patched-22104_0x2Ov.img (in phone\download) to pc, rename it to boot.img

6. (On PC) Use 7zip to pack boot.img from step 5 into boot.tar

7. (On PC) Use odin to flash boot.tar from step 6 (in AP slot)

Done. Enjoy.

In case you don't want to do a full step by step like above, you can use my already patched boot.tar below, just download and flash it via odin then after reboot install Magisk_patched_for_A21S.apk

[Samsung Galaxy A21s Guides, News, & Discussion] evan.gibson.66@gmail.com:
Got my SM-A217F rooted first attempt,

So what i did was.....

1) used Frija-v1.4.4 to download my latest stock firmware "SM-A217F_1_20210807114045_mzeyu27v8u_fac.zip"

2) Extracted the zip file and flashed the 4 files with "Odin3_v3.14.4"

3) after that i let the phone restart and boot up entered my google account details etc etc

4) on PC i used winrar and extracted the "boot.img.lz4" file only from "AP_A217FXXU6CUH1_CL21842546_QB42174009_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_RKEY_OS11.tar.md5"

5) on PC i then used "lz4_win64_v1_9_3" i copied the extracted "boot.img.lz4" file into the "lz4_win64_v1_9_3" folder

6) op PC inside the "lz4_win64_v1_9_3" folder i dragged the "boot.img.lz4" file onto "lz4.exe" wich created a new file "boot.img"

7) copied the "boot.img" file onto my phones internal storage

8) on phone i installed "Magisk_patched_for_A21S.apk" and opened it --> chose "Install" -->"select and patch a file" --> select "boot.img" from step 7 --> normal android way

9) That created a "magisk_patched-22104_0x2Ov.img" file in my phones "download" folder

10) Renamed that "magisk_patched-22104_0x2Ov.img" to "boot.img" on my phone

11) i then used "ZArchiver" and compressed that "boot.img" i just renamed from "boot.img" to "boot.tar"

12) Copied the "boot.tar" file to my pc and renamed it to "boot.img.tar" on my pc

13) On PC i used "Odin3_v3.14.4" and flashed the "boot.img.tar" file to my device, i left "Auto reboot" and "F reset time" ticked

14) after flashing and getting the green "PASS" logo i left my phone pluged into the the pc the whole time while the phone was restarting

15) after phone rebooted i installed "Magisk" with the "Magisk_patched_for_A21S" app --> let it reboot again after install

AND THATS IT
