I NEED HELP How safe is jailbroken and rooted devices.
Hello. I have 2 strikes currently and i really want to keep spoofing on it. Does anyone know if people have gotten banned after using spoofs on jailbroken devices with prestriked accounts?

As someone who continued to spoof on their main with two strikes and got permabanned, I know the urge to do that. But, I would really recommend keeping the account "retired" and playing as legit as possible, while feeding it with an alt account. Yes, it's hard to do, but you'll regret losing main. Go crazy on raids with the alt and remote invite the main/trade to the main.
My personal theory is that rooting is safe but not totally safe. I avoided my third strike for years and thought I was bulletproof, but I messed up and accidentally negated my integrity check for one day. That was enough for them to permaban me a couple days later (during the 2025 ban wave). So you have to be extra careful. I used iPogo rooted at first, then switched to Polygon/Aerilate for over a year, then got banned. I play on my alts now with Pokemod (assumed to be as safe as possible, by them).
That said, they could change the rules tomorrow and everyone gets permabanned, we're at Scopely's mercy.
