I've remained unrooted for the past month (my game actually stopped logging in a week ago and I was assured I wasn't banned, but I couldn't log in to MY account on MY phone and only that scenario. I could log into other people's phones with my account and other accounts on my phone, but not both together).

I hesitate to re-root, but it becomes more apparent what I'm missing every day. I - for no reason whatsoever - got my game working again today. It finally let me log in after I had completely given up. I want to get this right.

And now, for the dumb question: Does this ONLY apply to CM? Will a stock ROM be completely useless here?

Do you think this would work on a OP3t? I tried the steps anyways and nothing's broken but I can't seem to get magisk hide to work. When I reboot the box for enabling magisk hide is unchecked

Did everything , but when I try to enable Magisk hide, after reboot it's unchecked ... so Safety fails .. I'm on S6 edge 6.0.1 with custom kernel N0G33K by Quintz ...

Is there anything I can do ? I miss playing PoGo :( , but I still need root

Magisk hide now stays checked, because i've installed phh superuser ( before I had supersu and that was the reason why it didn't worked ), but safety net still still fails, and PoGo won't work. Tried with stock and custom kernel, none of them worked. Another problem is that in Magisk hide I can't find PoGo, to hide it from :(

Same thing with me. Did everything in OP. PoGo doesn't show up in magisk hide. Maybe it was updated to bypass magisk hide ? Could someone else confirm ?

After you have checked Magisk Hide in the settings, You have to reboot your mobile.
Then Safety Net will pass and PoGo will work.
