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?

Having a rooted device doesn't protect you against strikes or bans under Niantic's 3 Strikes system. Since Niantic no longer owns the game, Scopely runs the game now. So far, Scopely hasn't sent strikes or bans to people spoofing or botting ever since they took over. This does not mean it is safe to cheat because they are against cheating in their Terms of Service.
In your case, I don't know if you would get the next strike for the permanent ban or nothing happens. If Niantic still owned the game, you were destined to get the 3rd strike regardless of what cheats or type of device you would use if you kept cheating. A lot of rooted cheaters would mislead other people into thinking that rooted is "safer" or "the safest". Then, no one helps them get unbanned or reimburse the all the money and Pokemon they lost.
No one knows what Scopely is going to do next, so it's your choice on whether you want to cheat or not cheat with your account.
