Android Pay Cannot Be Used

first of all i'm sorry if this has been answered already, but i could not find the answer.
My 6P is setup as follows:
MDB08L build
rooted with systemless root and TWRP
xposed v78 sdk 23
xposed mods:
greenify
gravitybox
App Settings
No Lock Home
Snapprefs
Xinsta
Custom Share
i try to activate my AMEX on android pay and i get the error message stating that Google cannot verify the software (same message as if i was running a rom)
i have tried to unroot in SuperSU and then add the card...no difference
can anyone help me out here?

It won't work if you are rooted. Some people have said that temp unroot works, but I've never been able to get it.

Xposed modifies system, pay won't work

alright. i'm going to try to uninstall xposed. add the card and see what happens then i guess.
Thanks!

No AP with root, even systemless root. There might be a few that have said they have figured it out but in general 99.9% of people say it will not work.

I came from an Lg G3 with root and Xposed.
You cannot add cards if Xposed is installed. FIle systesm is checked.
You need to uninstall Xposed.
Once the cards are added re-install Xposed and root.
Use the module "No Device Check" to be able to use Android Pay.
I have Xposed and root and use Pay with no issues.

No android pay with root, it's actually the first time i didnt immediately root my phone

Works perfectly fine on a stock 6P in the U.S.

Lots of misinformation about this. Android pay works fine if you use systemless root. I have it on my phone currently.

Is pay available in Canada

I too am having problems adding a card to Android Pay due to the "Google is unable to verify. . ." error. I'm on stock ROM, and followed the directions for system-less root (thanks for that thread!).
One thing I'm starting to suspect is that when I first booted TWRP, upon being asked to keep system read only, I chose to "swipe to allow modifications".
Does anyone think this action, of allowing TWRP to modify the system partition, is the root cause for Android Pay not working? Is there a way to undo this action in TWRP, to put the system partition back to read-only?
Thanks!

i'm assuming you're rooted with SuperSU 2.62?
you have to delete SU/Bin i think to get it to work

It is available on this device, but is geographically dependent. If you live in a location where Android Pay is available and are completely stock and unrooted it will work. You then go into the lottery once you start looking at root etc.

Magisk

Has anyone tried Magisk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382) on the A7 yet? I'd love to be able to root and still have ability to use Android Pay.

Was wondering about this too. Not entirely confident about what things to reflash in case things go wrong otherwise wouldve tried this.

So just took a risk and tried it and the phh's SuperUser didn't provide root. Might have to do something with how the latest SuperSU doesn't work either?

I've tried it on my Moto X Play. Magisk and Xposed have no influence on Android Pay. But rooting (Phh's SU with Magisk) caused SafetyNet test turned red. It looks like Google suceeded to eliminate any coexistence between root and AP.

Did you try using AP or check with SafetyNet after flipping the switch in Magisk to show it as unrooted?

Just ran SafetyNet and reverted to unrooted after. As far as I know failing with SafetyNet means that AP won't work.

The whole point of this is that you flip the switch and you're temp unrooted for whatever duration you chose. 5min is default I think. If you didn't try that then you never really checked to see if it would work before dumping it.

Ok, thanks, I'll find the time to try it again. But temporally unroot with Chainfire superSU didn't help. I used superSU without Magisk though, it was systemless and it worked with AP in the beginning. Seems that AP checked only system changes then. It worked till recently when Google obviously cut off AP from rooted phones.

If you're running a custom ROM it may or may not work. Some are saying it does and others not. But if we're talking about the A7 here that'll be stock for now.

I'm using apps that require root, have the sd card fix done so EVERYTHING can use the sd card, file managers can't usually move or delete files on unrooted device, use clocksync so I have accurate time and have titanium backup installed. Haven't played with titanium backup but everything else works brilliantly...
Used Root Checker by joeykrim and it confirmed root...
It is phh's SuperUser app on playstore. Seems to work fine...

Wait, are you saying that the su in tenfars locked bl root is phh's? I didn't know that. That's good, then when he gets it working for the 2017u this should work on it as well.

Don't know , I just downloaded the root manager Tenfars recommended from play store...
It works fine...

Are there any new reports on this subject? I have been able to successfully install Magisk and PHH SU on a Nexus 6P , but using the identical procedure on my Axon 7 (U) does not work. I am puzzled.

Magisk installs fine (busybox is detected) on A2017U but root + Magisk does not work. Going to keep testing some options and methods and I'll let you know.
SuperSU fails during install after extract.
phh-superuser install completes but no root.

No luck so far, my gut thinks it's an issue with the kernel / boot.img patch. Sorry guys I'm going to keep banging on this one but it might take me a bit as I don't have a linux box up right now. Can someone that has a Chinese model get me a copy of the patched boot.img?

that's my thought too, since magisk seems not to create a log in /cache as it should and doesn't reaveal itself via logcat it looks like it doesn't realy get executed.
The guys in the common magisk were not realy able to help, guess we have to dig more into the init.rc script / boot.img patch. But might be that it get's fixed with v7 anyway, hope @topjohnwu is able to get it done quickly (or maybe has some ideas he how to debug it more, i didn't get an answer from him in the common, probably way too crowded magisk thread - goddamn pokemongo!)

Subscribing. Would like to get this working as well.

Edit: I've gone ahead and opened up a thread so it is easy to find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-installing-magisk-systemless-phhs-t3524270
We're up to Magisk V9 now and it still doesn't work. I'm almost certain it has to do with the execution of the patched boot.img, due to the write-protected /system partition. I finally got it working by using the the method in the guide I posted.

Google assistant

Has anyone received Google Assistant on their phones yet? Just curious.

Yep. You can force it with a build.prop edit. It worked for me, but I think there are mixed reports. Root required.

I'm surprised to hear some people still don't have GA natively. I'm a long time HTC user, but I just bought my 10 last Fri. it's pretty sweet. although, I must say, I still REALLY like my One M8.

I unlocked my bootloader Saturday but I'm reluctant to root because I don't want to lose Android Pay. If I can modify some the build.prop for Google Assistant and get wi-fi hotspot then reboot so I can use Android pay then I might.

I'm S-ON, unlocked bootloader, newest N firmware and latest Bad Boyz ROM (full version with MagiskSU, not SuperSU) and I have Android Pay working just fine. No reboot necessary, just use Magisk Manager to hide Magisk from Android Pay.

I know, but I've rooted and messed with custom ROMs on every phone I've had and I'm kind of tired of messing with that stuff. Really I think the best thing I could do is buy a Pixel. I'm tired of the different phone manufacturers and their bloated ROMs and the constant problems that custom ROMs have. At least for right now. Thanks though. I'll keep it in mind if I ever feel like jacking with that stuff again.

"OK Google" Always on!!??
So has anyone else noticed this?
The attached screenshot shows the settings for the "ok google" always listening feature. I know this feature is useful to launch google from any screen or even when the screen is off but I do not want this on for privacy reasons. I was always able to disable it on Marshmallow but now with N even when i turn it off it turns back on.
How to try to reproduce:
Turn off the feature
Exit the settings menu
Go back to the Ok google settings and see if its enabled again.
Is this happening to anyone else!?

I'm confused . . . My bootloader is unlocked, has been since I got my 10 last summer, and I just used Android Pay this weekend, and Magisk Manager says I'm currently passing SafetyNet. Android Pay is checked in Magisk Hide.
Are you saying that unlocking the bootloader alone will cause SafetyNet to fail, but Magisk Hide will then allow it again?

yes, merely having the bootloader unlocked even w/ 100% stock ROM, safetynet will fail....the beauty of magisk is that it hides it

I think at this point I'd rather relock my bootloader and go back to using my Galaxy S4 while I try to sell my HTC 10 and then put that money towards a Pixel. Anybody wanna buy a phone? ?

It's here! I literally just this minute got Google Assistant!

Is magisk a ROM or more of a mod? And what is magisk su? I'm going to try and get my phone rooted this weekend but I can't find a tutorial thread, it seems to be scattered everywhere. It seems like I fastboot TWRP, flash SuperSU, flash magisk then install magisk manager from Google Play?

im running viper due to lack of cm/aosp st the moment.. so i have magisk but i have no idea what it is or how to use it. very little instruction out there.

Has anyone been successful in editing their build.prop file to activate (or deactivate) Google Assistant? I actually want to deactivate Google Assistant but I can't seem save changes to my build.prop file.
I have root on stock ROM.
Set SE Linux to permissive.
Tried using Root Explorer and build.prop Editor. Both give me an error message stating it can't save the build.prop file.
Suggestions?

Beginner root question on opp2.170420.019

Hey guys,
This is almost certainly a stupid question but I would be grateful for any help. I have a Nexus 6p thats upgraded to the lastest Android O beta version of OPP2. I wanted to finally go around rooting it. I have enabled USB debugging, always allowed the PC's RSA fingerprint and checked allow OEM unlocking. Nothing else has been done before, I plan on following a step by step guide that will help me unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root etc.
I tried googling and to my surprise I could not find any root guide for this version of Nexus 6p (maybe I am just blind?)

Just tossing this out there. Old, but should still do what you need. Now that I think about it, I should probably go ahead and update parts of it....
Android Job Box

Woah. Cheers mate! so i just need to plug my Nexus 6p in, execute the file and click on unlock bootloader? I assume i have to install super su after that and that will be it? :3 Sorry. I know i am asking stupid questions and you are obv a pro. Also the fact that my version is opp2.170420.019 makes no difference right?

No, shouldnt make a difference. SHOULDNT. lol
The first thing I would do is download TheFlash's TWRP build, and flash that using the tool once you have your bootloader unlocked. That can be a lifesaver. Let me know if you have any questions. Questions directly about the tool, please post in my tools release thread.

Allrighty then, ill take the plunge real soon! Thank you for all the help Any specific why I should go with TheFlash's build instead of this one: dl.twrp(dot)me/angler/? As far as I can see it only supports F2FS which I will probably not be using.

None, specifically. But he seems to always be ahead of the curve for almost everything he does. And I really like his work. Personal preference I guess.

Well your tool works well Bootlocker unlocked and TWRP isntalled. But i flashed the SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip and nothings happening. there is a super su app in the drawer but when i click it it says super su binary not installed. Dont suppose you would have any idea why this is?
Update: okay false alarm. installed supersu v2.8 and appears to be rooted now. although super su keeps on crashing.
Update2: actually no, not working properly. Some apps are getting root - others arent I guess

Only SuperSU 2.79 SR4 or Magisk v13 will have functional root on Android O.
Magisk:

SuperSU:

Even more unstable lol, built for OPP1 not OPP2 apparently. Phone actually crashing now and rebooting after a few mins. Meh, srsly cold feet, am out. Going to flash it back to stock. hope that works atleast.

It works the same on OPP1 and OPP2. But all in all, you'll have better luck with Magisk v13.

I flashed it to 7.1.1 N4F26T using NRT and now the it has severe lag and keeps freezing and screen isnt accepting touch commands. Since this is a fresh install I assume the RSA fingerprint and USB Debuugging option has been unchecked as well? I have downloaded the official stock image of 7.1.2. Can I apply it using recovery or something?

Okay, flashed it to 7.1.2 using recovery. Everything seems fine now. Thank god. Helpful tip to any noob out there trying to root Android O Beta 2 on your nexus 6p: dont.

[Magisk] How will I install Android 10 when I receive it without losing root?

Will it be the same way as the small security updates?
I.e. (from Magisk) install to inactive slot before restarting the phone.
Also, Android 10 has the faster security updates feature which installs them without restarting the phone. So when I do get Android 10, and receive a security update, won't it directly install and remove root even before I reboot through magisk?

I think clean flash should be the best option (I'm talking about the update from 9 to 10).

If you dont know how to back up your data, then you have no business rooting your phone. Leave it stock, or better yet, get an iPhone.

I use titanium but what I meant by "not losing my data" was that I would want to avoid logging into all my accounts again as much as I could.

Will it be the same way as the small security updates?
I.e. (from Magisk) install to inactive slot before restarting the phone.
Also, Android 10 has the faster security updates feature which installs them without restarting the phone. So when I do get Android 10, and receive a security update, won't it directly install and remove root even before I reboot through magisk?

I meant is it T-Mobile or international?
The T-Mobile one is most likely going to be difficult

Hi there...
I've just clean this thread slightly. This is a thread in the Q&A forum, which allows to ask EVERYTHING that is somehow related to this device. There hasn't been a similar thread yet i.e. it was fine to create one.
If someone doesn't like the topic, some questions or answers simply continue your journey and refrain from posting here.
Your friendly neighbourhood watch

Guys don't expect things to work with the new update immediately. Android 10 has a file system rehaul so stuffs gonna work differently. That being said I'm excited. I'm just sad I won't get to use desktop mode since our USB Cs arent new or powerful enough to use as an HDMI out *sadfate*

Before you do any of this make sure you disable any magisk modules you may have
Do local upgrade method but don't reboot.
Then go to magisk and select modules click the plus and find twrp installer zip once that's done.
Choose install to inactive slot after ota
Then reboot.

Hello, when you say to disable the Magisk modules, should you simply uncheck the modules installed in Magisk or press "uninstall" and "restore images" on the Magisk home page?

I never uninstall magisk and restore images. Because I allways keep magisk. I just select to remove modules on next boot because they cause me problems.
As long as u keep magisk u can flash twrp with magisk.

I prefer to ask to be on, because some also do like this: uninstall Magisk (without reboot), installation of the update (still without reboot) Magisk installation from the manager and reboot! I know it's more for OTAs but in the end I found on the forums that some processes like that for any ROM.
Anyway thank you for your answer I will try now: D
Edit : It does not work for me, nothing starts and it tells me directly "Failure of the installation of the home system" when I try by the local upgrade I would do with twrp this does not matter

Let's just disregard this silly post please.
Thank you.
Incidentally, this might be a sound method for upgrading Stable Pie to Stable Q:
