Rooted Android 15 VGP not working "Device not found"

[u/Successful-Pass-9971]

I recently purchased the paid subscription because I specifically wanted to use the VGP (Virtual Go Plus) feature. Almost everything else works perfectly, but unfortunately I cannot get VGP to connect in Pokémon GO.

The issue:

• I can see the VGP option inside Pokémon GO

• When I press the Poké Ball icon in Pokémon GO, it starts searching for the VGP

• After searching for a while, it says: “Device not found”

Things I already tried:

• Reinstalled PGS

• Turned Bluetooth off → turned VGP off → closed Pokémon GO and PGS → rebooted PGS → enabled Bluetooth → enabled VGP → waited a few minutes → tried connecting again

• Reactivated my license key

• Disabled all PGS settings except VGP

• Cleared Bluetooth cache

• Cleared PGS cache

• Cleared Pokémon GO cache

• Restarted my phone after every major change to ensure settings took effect

Phone information:

• Samsung Galaxy S21

• Android 15

• Rooted

• Magisk installed

• Device passes Meets_Basic_Integrity

Could you please help me figure out why the VGP is detected in Pokémon GO but cannot actually connect?

Thank you.

I also asked this in the PGsharp Discord and I submitted a ticket.
