Do you guys have uncertified in device certification from the playstore?
I never saw this on my previous nexus devices!

So what's the cause?
Or is there a solution?
Anything that breaks Safetynet. Most commonly root or even unlocked bootloader without a custom kernel (on some devices).

I don't have this device right now so I'm not sure if unlocked bootloader effects it but it does on Nexus/Pixel.

If it's root there are some ways to hide it possibly.

Its new maybe less then a month since they started doing it with PlayStore.


I know on Nexus you can use magisk to hide root. I have not looked into details. You will have to research if it's possible on your device.

Unlocked bootloader is easy. All custom kernels have a patch to hide it.

I'm on OOS 4.0.3, unlocked bootloader, rooted with SuperSU, Magisk installed and with a custom (Franco r12) kernel. Play store is stating that my device is uncertified as well.

My banking app closes itself whenever I launch it, which I'm assuming is because I tripped safetynet. Oddly enough, when I uninstalled and re-installed the banking app, it seems to work now. While I can still update and download free apps on Play Store, I can't seem to buy paid apps. Whenever I get to the payment window and click "Buy", the Play Store app closes itself.

I had all of the above modifications while I was on OOS 4.0.2 and I didn't notice any problems. Purchasing apps worked fine before updating. I'm also getting the DM-Verity message during boot now, which I didn't have before updating.
