Android Pay works on unlocked, decrypted rooted 5X!! - Nexus 5X General

Not sure the best thread to post this, so I figured I'd start a new one.
I just successfully used Android Pay on my unlocked, decrypted, rooted (with root temporarily disabled in SuperSU) Nexus 5X at Rite Aid!
I'll try to test at some more establishments.
I haven't seen anyone else test this yet, so hopefully this helps some of you on the fence who plan to use or already use AP extensively.

Dont know the exact reason. Just know that I have tried from experience and read here in the forums everyone runs into this after reboot.

Interesting. I haven't seen anyone post that (not that I was really looking). I'll give it a try again this week and report back. Sorry for the false alarm then.

All the testing ive done....reboot brings it back to not working again.....there has to be someone who can figure this out

Does rebooting cause SuperSU to re-enable root? If that's not the case I imagine rebooting probably runs a system check for modified boot loader or whatever, which then sets a flag that Android Pay checks.
I've received my 5x (nice size, light and personally I think build quality is nice, coming from a Galaxy S4 and compared to wife's Nexus 6). Have to wait for the USB type C to USB 3 cable to root and decrypt.

Rebooted multiple times since rooting, Android Pay has had no issues. Still offers to add cards and such. It doesn't block payment right? I assume the issue is the app not loading properly overall.

Try to pay for something and see if it works.

Alright, that's the part I didn't test yet. I remember wallet would just deny you for being rooted or something, or at least it would give a message. I've seen no message and apparently if you just go into SuperSU then disable root it's assured to work. There are also obviously apps that can block an app from seeing the root status.

Android Pay uses the SafetyNet API. Hiding root from Android Pay will not do anything at the moment. Paying for something will not work either, but adding cards will

Do you have any update after reboot?

So I'll be trying to test this out tomorrow. I rooted and started Android Pay and tried to add a card, go the error that my hardware wasn't compatible, I hid/uninstalled SuperSU and reboot, then cleared all data from Android Pay, started it up again and it let me add my card and said everything is working.
When I get the chance to test I will report back my findings.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to try this out again. Hopefully sometime this weekend.
Does anyone know the scenario here? It works once and then once you reboot it never works again? Should I reboot with root enabled or disabled?

If you leave root disabled it will always work (At least in my case)...as soon as you add root back and reboot...no go

Wallet has always worked on rooted without a hitch this bs didn't start until android pay came out. Good thing I have a physical wallet card and primarily use wallet for wire transfers between family memebers...I switch to keytag/keyring (blue icon in play store) since the split of wallet/pay into separate apps and haven't had any problems.

So you can have an unencrypted phone and still have android pay working? Just can't have supersu flashed?

Yes, unencrypted and unlocked bootloader is fine. I have also been using chainfire's new systemless root method, and android pay works with it (for now)!

My S4 and S3 both have been rooted, I guess that is the reason why I get this message.
Does anybody know of a quick workaround of this problem?
I and I am sure many others will thank your inputs.

P.S. Click here for app in Google Play Store
Does you S4 show "custom" status and the unlock icon? Or does it show "official"?
Could always decompile and remove the check from the code, but that is kinda hardcore, would need to find a smali badass to do it.

Just a thought, but if you can get the phone back to saying "official" without the padlock maybe it will work. There are a bunch of threads about regaining official status floating around the forums. Some methods work for some and other methods work for others. It might be worth trying though.
Most importantly: did you grant this application root rights? I once had an authenticator for an online game that asked for root rights. If granted, it complained about the risks of using the authenticator on a rooted system. It was interesting.
Now, otherwise I can't see how DirecTV is checking your device to see if it's been compromised, or "security-tampered" ... Unless it has rights to check that "device status - custom" that the others here are referring to?
If that's the case, it should be easy enough to get rid of the "custom" status by using SuperSU instead of SuperUser. It involves downloading/installing SuperSU, updating it and the SU binary, and then uninstalling SuperUser (the app that comes with Motochopper). A reboot or two is usually necessary.
If you've uninstalled bloatware or installed a custom kernel or rom, you're pretty much stuck with "custom" until we find another way around this.
Same issue here

As mentioned, it is most likely either directly checking for known superuser apks or binaries or it is checking the "status" to determine if root has been achieved. If it is only checking for "status", then maintaining an "official" status should be enough to get it to run. If it actually checks for root, then the APK will need modifying to remove the check or return a reverse false positive or root will need to be removed.

Since it's a commercial app, IDK about doing that, if it's legal or against forum rules. There is a chrome extension that lets you dl it from the play store via the browser, or at least there used to be if it's been removed.

I was getting a ton of reboots (basically everytime I turned the screen on) after I rooted. I just took this update last night and now I haven't had a reboot and everything is working great. At least as stable as the ND3 version or probably more so.
I get Ann occasional reboot now, on nd3. I am rooted but still have a 0 Knox counter so I am staying right where I'm at. Seems the only reason for the update is to close the exploit. No thanks.

Well, I don't know. I haven't seen any report yet on whether TowelRoot even still works on NG1. It probably does, but until someone uses it to successfully root an NG1 device, we won't know for sure.
If I were you, I'd probably install Voodoo OTA RootKeeper and run that before accepting the OTA. Then, if you do lose root, you could try just re-rooting with TowelRoot and post back here to let us know if that works. If it doesn't, then you could try to use RootKeeper to restore root.
But, if you are the first one to try it, there will always be the risk that you will lose root and not be able to get it back...

Towelroot does not work after updating to NG1, but CF Auto Root does.
I got NG1 today too (was on ND3 previously, unrooted)
I know the update notification talked about Kids Mode but i don't know where that's enabled,because nothing new in Settings menu.
So basically, it looks exactly like ND3 to me. which is fine, because ND3 was fine for me.
Just picked up a Tab Pro 8.4 from the BestBuy sale, first thing I noticed was that an update is available. I want a root method that does not trip Knox so I did not install the update yet, waiting to hear if TowelRoot will work but I have a feeling it will not.
Looked on there website and they are clear that this will work on kernel versions prior to June 2014 and they haven't updated that date yet.

My tab on the latest version constantly reboots at random. It's not an actual manual reboot because it cycles through without that startup music and it's slightly faster. Feels more like a restart of the android system files. Or something.

From what i read in other threads I'm led to believe this is a temporary root, and will disappear upon reboot. It also installs kinguser, not superuser, and superuser cant be installed to replace it.
Also, this was from the Dev thread directly

no. nothing permanent about kingroot. every reboot it is gone.
tried on Verizon Note4 and when I opened the app, it just show me the envelope and didn't give me the lock like in the video. So it's not working for me.
I tried this kingroot last night, say for like 5/10 min til I got tired of waiting and then I Uninstalled the shop and nothing had occurred. But I have no bank or sensitive info on device, nothing financial or even remotely sensitive info... so was worth it to try.
But no go and no root. And I wad ready as when I upgraded to lollipop and set up phone, play store was reinstalling apps from my note 3, that I switch back and forth between, installed supersu and titanium (though I've no root on 4 obviously! ) I was ready to jump into titanium and start Uninstaller Bloat if
I got proof of root thru supersu granting it, or whatever the kingroot Su access is. .. either way I wad ready though. ...
No go. .. so I leave it at that till someone comes up with a surefire way too do this.
Reading up on multisystem now... looks interesting! Since no more safestrap..... multisystem looks the way next forward, though a tad bit complicated. It'll work eventually!

root PK1 on sprint available?

I've been out of the game for a while and now I feel all stupid and ****. I've been searching the forums to root the new s7 we got last night but all I'm seeing is it must be on PE1. I haven't found anything about rooting a PK1. Can it be done? Have I just overlooked it? I tried to root using SM-G930P Root - Updated 10/25/2016 but I can't get the downloads to work. Every time I click the the blue download button, I get stuck in a spam/ads pop up loop. So I gave up and went looking for more info on rooting the PK1. Thanks guys!
I am also looking for this information as I recently purchased this model. The forums seem to suggest that you need to begin on the PE1 firmware, but information is unclear on whether a downgrade is possible.

can't downgrade firmware
I've been trying to root this phone (SM-G930P) for about 2 months now. Unfortunately I accepted an ota to what I believe was the PJ2 firmware shortly after getting it. Now I'm on PK1. I tried multiple times to downgrade to PE1 without any success. I believe it's a bootloader issue. I've successfully rooted the g935a for a coworker without a problem and was hoping this one could be rooted using the same method just flashing a different Eng Boot image of course. But samsung is not providing us a way to unlock the boatloader, which is basically like selling someone a car with the hood locked and even though they now own it legally, telling them they're not allowed to modify or even touch the engine.
Guess I'll just have to wait until someone finds a working method or I get fed up and switch to a Google or HTC device...

Nope it says something like system has been modified in unauthorized ways and kicks you off the app.

Is it a stable root? There's no problems right? I've rooted every android I've had except my S7 because of the bootloader. What other things does it disable other than the Samsung pay?

Just got an update to PL6. Any clue if this method would work?
Most roots released for the devices are "sboots" and are not meant to be used daily..
many roots for these devices are for unlocking/frp removal uses

Depending on what firmware you're on, it's a stable root. If you're on bootloader 3 and on APE 1 then it's fine, but bootloader 4 is difficult to root and not have issues. When rooting you obviously lose access to apps that don't allow rooted devices to use it such as snapchat, pokemon go, samsung pay, etc, etc.....

I was on PK1 tried rooting it, worked, but didn't have data and I tried everything I could find. Decided to not root it and update to PL6 lol. I spent hours trying to root this phone, most difficult one I've done.

I am right there with you !!!! I have been working so hard to try to figure out why after the flash of their Engineering Boot file, that my mobile data network options disapear and i cannot get on a mobile network. Ive even paid for the app to unlock the device and it still will not let me turn it on. The options are completely gone. If anyone has any idea why this is happening or how to fix it, please let me know! I am still waiting for idoneapps to respond to this issue.

Damn, that sucks, did you get a refund? and yeah it always happens right after the Engineering boot file. Somehow my data was activated like the 6th time I rooted the phone, I'm pretty sure it was the lines I changed on Build.prop but the calls were not working.
Not yet. Still waiting to see what they say. Did you get it to finally work?

Google pay not working

I have a converted oneplus 6t from t-mobile to Android 10 and Google pay is not working and my device is not rooted or does not have an unlocked bootloader. What can I do to fix the problem.
Your device is probably not certified. Check this in Google play parameters. If it is the case, in system parameters> applications try to clear cache and data for Google Play and Google play services then reboot.
If the above solution fails, another one is - ironically - rooting. First test whether your device passes SafetyNet with this app. I'm on A10, international version, rooted and mobile payment works. I'm not using GPay though. I did just notice that my device wasn't certified so I added everything related to 'Google' and 'Play' to Magisk Hide and now it is (see screenshot below). I wonder if there's a way of testing whether GPay works on a device without actually using it.
Oh and if you decide to walk this path, do be careful with a T-Mobile converted device! I've seen a lot go wrong with them (see official OOS threads, do some reading). Make sufficient backups before proceeding. There's a realistic chance you'll end up MSMTooling it.
Best of luck!

I check and it did show that it was not certified, but then I clear data and it stopped showing that. Google pay still does not work. I need to find a way to fix it with out going back to stock tmobile.

You will not get it certified till this type of device - TMOBILE 6T that is not the same as OnePlus Regular 6T) will get A10. So if you must have Google Pay get back to pie and wait till T-Mobile updates there phone to A10.

I wish there was a way to get it working but thanks
Root and use safetypatch module, works great on tmobile converted 6t.

Hello,
Download the MagiskProp Config in Magisk then flash it.
Then download the Terminal Emulator for Android by Jack Palevich in the playstore.
Then follow instructions in the video link below :
This worked for me.
Yeah you are going to have to root and use the safety module. Only way it'll work
Believe it or not, it's a known bug that began with the beta but got resolved some time after. Apparently, this bug came back. OnePlus is aware of it and they are working on a fix. I already contacted support.

Funny how a company with an annual revenue of $1.9 billion and 2700+ employees (source) struggles with a problem that free and open development has solved ages ago. I'd like to take in these moments to stress the importance of communities like XDA. We're freaking awesome! #NeverSettle

Unfortunately can not do that - I have work profile on the phone and maas360 mdm will discover the root (tried to hide it in any possible way).

Thanks for that however I can't do that since I don't have magisk installed and I don't want to install wtrp or root my device to get it. If there is a way to install it without that I will do it otherwise nope.
