[Q] Not receiving SMS code for Samsung Two-step verification

[karimkahale]

Hello everyone!

I've been having some trouble trying to sign into my Samsung account(s).

I've always used SMS verification, and it would generally work without any problem.

I am from Lebanon, and my country code is +961.

For a few weeks now, when signing in from my phone or laptop, I NEVER receive any verification SMS from Samsung.

I even made multiple accounts with different mobile numbers, but the issue remains even with the different accounts.

Unfortunately I have no backup codes saved, and I am currently logged out in browser.

Any suggestions would be more than appreciated.

Thank You.
Have a nice day.

You don't have any call/spam blocking app or service active, do you?

I believe I have truecaller in the background, I will try freezing the app then launching two-step verification via sms again. Will update you asap.

Good idea. TrueCaller has been known to cause various problems.

I have tried uninstalling Truecaller, but still no luck.
I even tried removing the sim card and installing it in another device, no luck.
I have tried signing in from my laptop instead, still no SMS.

I have to note that my Samsung Galaxy S9 is rooted and has magisk and edxposed installed.

I don't have any rooting experience, but it's certainly possible the modifications are contributing to the problem. @mustang7757, what do you think?

Anytime your rooted , and change things around can cause problems especially exposed modules and anything else. I would go back to stock using odin flash the stock firmware to for sure what the issue is.
