Players With Factory Unlocked Phones Cannot Play Pokemon GO

With the recent release of the new update, Android phones that were rooted by their owners can no longer run the Pokemon GO app and will have the error above. Some players were complaining that their non rooted factory unlocked phones seems to suffer from this new anti-cheat countermeasure of Niantic as well.

Niantic posted a guideline on their support page that may be an answer to this issue but users can also file a report from the same page as well.

Jailbroken iPhones cannot run the updated Pokemon GO app as well but so far there were no iOS users with unlocked phones complaining about it.
