I'm running lineageOS, and I had to root the phone to make one banking app work (and Netflix and some games.)

It actually passes SafetyNet out of the box, but there's a CTS profile check that some apps do in addition to SafetyNet, and I had to root the phone to make it provide a profile that those apps are happy with. And then I had to install a SafetyNet bypass, because fixing the CTS profile broke SafetyNet.

It un-roots itself every time I install an update, which is kind of a pain in the ass, but someone wrote a script to re-root lineageOS (from a desktop computer), so it's not too bad these days.
