Hey guys, I'm currently on xtreolite deodexed v2.3, Android Pay will not work for me due to the root level access, some people have been able to get around this by disabling root in SuperSU and installing but that didn't work for me. Can those on different ROMs please try and report back? Does stock + root work?
I think you need to flash stock, install and setup pay, then root
^^ this! Above poster is right,
Actually, after rooting again android pay will not process transactions. At least mine failed today after rooting again when I tried at McDonald's.
Is it checking the KNOX counter or just the phone being rooted?
Just if it is rooted
Aren't there xposed modules to hide root?

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4(SGH-M919) with TMobile.
The android version is 4.4.4. Since i am still in the contract with TMobile,
the phone is locked with that carrier. (Btw, does this mean i have. a locked bootloader automatically??..but.i.found some on the net saying... Tmobile doesnt put locked bootloader??)
I tried to root this phone with towelroot, but it says it is not supported.
So i found an article saying this phone can be rooted by cf-auto-root with odin.
before i try, i would like ti ask something.
1. it says if the phone has locked bootloader, this rooting procedure can make the phone
brick. how do i check whether i have locked bootloader or not?
i havent installed any custom ROM .. i havent tried to root the phone other than towelroot.
Btw, i just went to download menu, though i didnt go further from there.
i saw "Write Protectiom : Enabled" ...does this mean i have locked bootloader phone?
Thanks
You don't have locked bootloader. You can use cf-auto-root just remember that you will trip your Knox flag. Other than that, there is no side effects as far as performance in hardware or software
The only root method I could get to work was CF Autoroot flashing with Odin. Just make sure you have the correct version for the T-Mobile SGH-M919. I don't believe SuperSu was included with the root. You need SuperSu installed after you get rooted. When apps want to access root files SuperSu will not allow that access w/o your permission. It's free and available on Playstore.

In regard to what OTISDOG said about the rooting, I have a MetroPCS branded M919N. I use firmware for both T-Mobile and Metro on the phone with absolutely no issues. Rooting the phone with CF-AutoRoot was a quick and painless process. Reason I rooted? To get rid of all the bloat on the phone. My battery lasts longer and is more responsive in general. I asked the reps at a local store if I would have a problem if I needed my phone to be serviced under warranty. He told me that none of his rooted customers had problems getting their phones fixed under warranty unless the phone was running a custom rom or recovery like CyanogenMod or TWRP. Your mileage may vary by your location and/or store visited.

I need help with getting Android Pay to work on my rooted Note 4 because I keep getting the Android Pay cannot be used message. I do know that Android Pay does does block rooted users so I've tried various workarounds with none of them working.
I tried the method where I installed Root Cloak and added Android Pay, Google Play Service and Google Service Framework to apps it hides root from and cleared the data from those 3 apps. I also installed No Device Check since from what I saw, Android Pay does use SafetyNet to check your devices firmware whether it has been modified or not. Does anybody have any ideas of how to get this to work without losing root access or having to go back to stock?

I'm running CM12.1 if that matters. Would it work even with that or would I have to be running stock?
Im on stock however rooted using beastmode and twrp recovery. I disabled supersu and was able to add my credit cards however when i go to use it for example at a vending machine at school i get a message that says something like, Amex**** is unable to be used at this time and the same goes for my discover.
any ideas how to fix?

I have a rooted lg g4 vs98613b
Is there a way to get android pay working fully or no. I did some research and no go for me
I have tried many different ways to get this to work. I've tried hiding root, removing SuperSU, and, many many McDoubles later, AP will only work on stock unrooted firmware.
Ya, one of the downsides to having root
I installed Xposed and tried hiding root, but no go. Still have not found a way to make it work while phone is rooted unfortunately.
I guess when my VZW phone eventually gets 6.0 I'll have to make a decision to keep root or upgrade and finally be able to use android pay....
I have a Nexus 6P and it looks like Google blocked it. We used to be able to use systemless root and remove some SU files, but now that doesn't work.
I didnt know i had replies in here. Ya it sucks not to have it and i love the nfc feature

Just install TWRP and flash SuperSU.
So there is noway to do this without tripping knox?
bump!
No.
Let me add on a bit to my initial response. Rooting the phone will trip Knox. Has been this way for quite some time. Discussed across many thread here and elsewhere.
Now the question comes up as to what do you lose by tripping Knox? Samsung Pay will never work for you. Android Pay may or may not work. Many people have been able to get it working at least in part, but disable Root (via SuperSu) when using Android Pay. I don't use either of those, so I don't care.
Then the question comes up if this voids warranty. The answer is only if you say "Hey, I rooted my phone and then broke something!" If you need warranty for a physical defect, go back to stock via Odin and you shouldn't have a problem. If you root your phone and then install a ROM not meant for your phone or local (like a Note ROM or an international ROM) you are probably going to mess something up that will be immediately obvious. The solution is not to do that.
Realistically, there aren't a ton of great ROMs available for this phone and most are based on stock anyway. No CM13 as yet. If you can live with your phone un-Rooted, that might be the wisest choice.
That said, I rooted my phone as soon as I got it. I went the full route, didn't care about tripping Knox and still don't. I have run both Renegade and TeamSPR ROMs and have been happy with them.
Now you can decide what to do.
Or u could root ur phone n install xposed on it ... Rooted S6 stock rom is now compatible with xposed its better than any custom roms out there
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA-Developers mobile app
In my case, I only need temporary root. After that it maybe removed. So it would be nice to be able keep knox from being tripped if possible. Installing twrp is an additional step too that I would like to avoid again because it would serve no purpose since root would only be temporary. I also wanted to be sure that build G920PVPU3CPD3 could be rooted. Thanks for your input guys.
Since I really can't find anything about the compatibility of Magisk with the Verizon Note 7 with root access from the userdebug kernal, I want to ask if anyone has flashed the SuperSu 2.78 SR1 beta and suhide to get android pay and other apps that block their access with root to work? Im wanting to try to install this so I can use said apps, but I want to make sure that it is actually safe to use it. Ive had issues installing xposed so Im just being cautious on what I mess with on my Note 7.
Im going off of this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/suhide-t3450396
Yea it bricked my phone.
I tired to install it on my Verizon Note 7, it blocks my phone from booting up due to custom binary blocked by secure boot (boot.img) after installing suhide.

Same... Im stuck at work without a phone for now.... Wish I would have just waited for people to tell me no instead of saying screw it and installing it.
Im just gonna reroot it when I get home in 3 hours...
Ouch, that sucks. I tried Magisk but it says I have to root through them, and I believe it has to be a systemless root. Anyway I didn't go further with it as it's just way too much work to get Samsung pay. I'm bummed that so few people are able to root, it seems we are stuck with not much help.
