Remove all traces of root without a reset? - Verizon LG G4

I want to be able to use android pay on my LG G4, but I am currently rooted which doesn't play nice with AP. I want to know if there is a way to fully remove root and all traces of root without a factory reset or flashing a fresh new system on my phone. I know supersu has the "full unroot" option, but I wasnt sure if that would actually make it pass the SafteyNet test, since I do have some modifications on my device. Thanks in advance for any help/feedback.

For Google Play, you need to use the Root Cloak2 Xposed module and block both Android Pay and Google Play Services and Android Pay will work fine.

Google Wallet No Root?

Hi,
Really annoyed that Google Wallet isn't supported. I want to enable it, but I don't want to root the device.
Are there any solutions available that allow you to enable Google Wallet without rooting the device or having to format it?
I did some searching but didn't find a concrete answer.
Thanks.
You have to root your phone to get Google Wallet. The method I linked below will not delete any data on your phone or format anything. You can unroot your phone after installing Google Wallet if you want to.
Root your phone using CF-Auto-Root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956180
Your phone now knows that you've messed with it. So, reset your flash counter so it looks like you've never installed anything custom on your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
Now use the Google Wallet Enabler here to install Google Wallet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037416
The app SuperSU (which is automatically installed when using CF-Auto-Root) has a handy unroot option built in. Go ahead and click that to unroot your phone. More info on that here: http://www.thespicygadgematics.com/2012/06/how-to-easily-unroot-any-android-phone.html

Android Pay compatible ROMs

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?

[Q] Help with getting Android Pay to work on rooted Note 4 with CM12.1

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?

Root + Android Pay. What does OEM Unlock do?

I rooted my phone only so I could use AdAway. So once I update the hosts file with AdAway, technically I can disable root and only enable root once a week or so to re-run AdAway and update the hosts file again correct?
So I want to use Android Pay too... I keep reading that if I disable root in SuperSU it'll work, but my Android Pay flat out rufuses to work.
Only other thing I can think of is disabling OEM Unlock. What does that even do? I'm currently running custom recovey (TWRP).
Does OEM Unlock need to remain enabled? Could that prevent Android Pay working when SuperSU root is disabled?
Thanks
If your root method modified /system/ then you will never be able to use Android Pay as it checks this. Even systemless root stopped working with the August security patch. It's why I didn't root my Note 7 when I got it because I figured this out on the 6P. Sad but true.
Is there a way to un-root and re-root quickly? I disabled root in SuperSU but it doesn't help.
All I really want to do is block ads via the host file with adaway (which is how it works right?) And I can enable root every time I want to update the ad block list.
Thanks for reply
I found a few ways to do it on other sections of this forum but they seemed tedious and I haven't really looked since the August patch flarked everything up for folks who want AP. Sorry. I wish I could answer.

A520 2017, How to revert Knox to 0x0 from 0x1 after rooting

Hi,
can anyone help me to revert A520f 2017 Knox to 0x0.
Unfortunately I tried to Root my A5 2017, I am luckily successful to root my phone, but after that I realized that I will not receive OTA nor able to use sHealth app.
So I downloaded stock Rom and Totally re-flash everything(AP, BL, CSC...).... Although it remove the Custom recovery + super user etc. But when I tried to Open sHealth App, it saying that "Due to new Security Policy Samsung Health cannot be opened on a Rooted device. 0x110040581".
So, Is there any way available to reset everything means to bring it to zero position?

Can you tell me is there any way available to use Samsung Health App. I am not worried about knox tripped nor warrenty clain... but worried about using default Application, OTA and Patch etc.
Would it possible use all these using root? Or any other way available..
Eg. I was using xposed in LG G3 which having small app like root clock. Which allow to fake those app which were not working on rooted device. But knox case seems different

If you want to hide root, use Magisk su instead.

No I dont want to hide root explicitly , I just want to use Samsung Health Application, if there is any way available to by pass the error message
"Due to new Security Policy Samsung Health cannot be opened on a Rooted device. 0x110040581".
Kindly tell me, either by hiding the Root Or Editing any file

You are able to use samsung health after rooting.
you have to be rooted again and i would recommend using TWRP + Magisk to root so it is systemless and you can still pass safetynet after rooting.
you will need to download TWRP, Magisk v12.0, dm-verity patch.
1. put magisk v12.0 and dm-verity patch onto the sdcard in the phone
2. flash TWRP
3. boot into recovery and swipe to allow modifications.
4. under wipe there should be a button to format data (its in the bottom right). you will need to do this to flash magisk and dm verity.
5. flash dm verity and THEN magisk
6a. boot into phone and complete setup to get to home page.
6b. download any systemless root app that you want (adaway works you just have to turn on systemless host files in magisk settings + viper4andriod has a module in magisk that you download for it to work)
(DO NOT TURN ON HIDE MAGISK UNTIL THE END)
7. download the app buildprop editor, open it and grant it root. search for the line ro.config.tima=1 and change the value from 1 to 0.
8. reboot the phone and you should now be able to use s health.
continue following if you wish to pass safetynet and be playstore certified (set up your root apps like viper and adaway before doing this)
9. go into magisk settings and enable the setting Magisk Hide. reboot phone. check that you pass safetynet in magisk manager after booting up again
10. go into app manager, find google play store, tap storage and then clear the data.
11. open app again and you should be certified. (this took me a few tries. not sure if it was play store needing to update the property or me needing to reboot the phone)
12. Yay! your device should now be able to pass safetynet and will be play store certified in the play store app. you should soon be able to see netflix in the play store again.
