App will not run, says device is rooted

AnotherElk · July 15, 2020, 3:50pm

You just made microG very, very sad .

trond · July 15, 2020, 3:56pm

I meant Google’s android, yes. I definitely don’t have anything against android, but I have plenty against Google.

On my previous phone (an LG g3) I used LineageOS (also an android OS), with microG. I had no problems using Vipps or any other applications on that one. Unfortunately it died on me way too early.

harvey186 · July 15, 2020, 4:33pm

Yes, Lineage is not complete ungoogled. That’s why the app was working

trond · July 15, 2020, 6:15pm

Excellent, looking forward to it!

harvey186 · July 15, 2020, 8:02pm

OK, I have made a new build for my capricorn device. It’s not a ‘user’ build, but I have all from ‘userdebug’ mode disabled and now ro.debuggable = 0
ich@ich:~$ adb shell
capricorn:/ $ getprop ro.debuggable
0
capricorn:/ $

But my Banking apps is still not working, because it’s needing original goolag services

EDIT: but one of my other banking apps which always has told me that my device is a custom rom or rooted is working

trond · July 15, 2020, 8:39pm

Great, so that may mean that our ‘Vipps’ can work with this change. Do you know if/when that can make it into an upgraded version?

harvey186 · July 15, 2020, 9:14pm

Oh, be cool. I’m not an e.foundation guy. I’m a normal user.
I will made some additional proves and than I will inform the e-dev’s. If they will implement it isn’t in my hands.

EDIT: vipps is still not working

aig · July 15, 2020, 11:41pm

That’s too bad. Could you take a peek at the logs when opening vipps to see if there is any output from the rootbeer library? Here’s what I get with the official builds for comparison:

At least it’s a different error code. The error code I get when trying to open it, is “1”. So you probably made it pass one test, but there are still more security tests there.

as you can see, the app needs saftynet and thousand other goolag play services. That’s why it never will work on eOS

aig · July 16, 2020, 7:41am

No more positives there

@trond is probably right that the different error code corresponds to a different test, most likely a different library or something custom.

Maybe the full log contains more hints?

Edit: I thought /e/ had a sandboxed version of safetynet for this purpose?

harvey186 · July 16, 2020, 7:51am

no, no safetynet on eOS

aig · July 16, 2020, 7:54am

What makes you say that? It says there is in my microG settings, ref screenshot.

harvey186 · July 16, 2020, 7:58am

From my knowledge, safetynet is always failing on eOS because of missing services.

harvey186 · July 16, 2020, 8:00am

pls have a look here Advanced permissions management

aig · July 16, 2020, 8:09am

He was talking about rooted roms, but that’s not the case for me at least. I’m running unrooted on a FP3 with a locked bootloader. I might need to install “droidguard helper” though. I thought “available” meant “available on my device”, but perhaps not?

trond · July 16, 2020, 8:45am

On my recently reinstalled /e/, I seem to have “microG DroidGuard Helper” installed and running (found via Settings -> search “droid”). Not sure how microG uses this, though - in microG Settings it says “Google SafetyNet - Enabled / official server”, and when I press it, I get the same “Google SafetyNet” screen that you do.

@harvey186

aig · July 16, 2020, 8:57am

You’re right, I have it running as well.

@harvey186, do you have the same setup as us?

harvey186 · July 16, 2020, 9:24am

I do have standard eOS with MicroG and unlocked bootloader on a Mi 5s.
So it’s the same as yours

harvey186 · July 16, 2020, 9:31am

have you tried ‘safetynet test’ from Aurora ??
