[Tutorial] Play Pokemon GO 0.37.0 on Rooted Android Devices and CyanogenMod

With the lastest Update to Pokemon GO (0.37.0) Niantic blocks Android Users with Root or CyanogenMod from playing the game, using a Google API service named SafetyNet. It took a half day for the developer-community at XDA-Developers to figure out how to play Pokemon GO on these devices.

The same Tutorial in GERMAN

So you don't have to search long, heres a complete tutorial for you.

First things first: This Tutorial is NOT for cheaters, you're spoiling the game for real players and this workaround won't let you use cheats, where you need root, anyways.

Warning: Like always, I am not responsible for any lost data or harm on your hardware.

The tutorial explains how you first will remove root access and then install an app for toggling root access.

Preparation

You'll need the following, but don't download nor install now, we'll come to that later:

• unSU-Skript for removing rests of SU
• CWM or TWRP Recovery
• SuperSu for root access removal
• SafetyNet-Helper for checking if everything works
• Magisk for toggling root
• SuperSu or phh's Superuser
• Pokemon Go 0.37.0

Whether you want to use SuperSu or phh's SuperUser is your decision, for me only the variant with Chainfire's SuperSU worked.
