Losing Android Pay is really the only thing keeping me on the stock ROM. Is this something that devs are even looking into or has everyone just resigned themselves to not using it if you want a custom ROM?

Easy enough to achieve, depends on how the developer implements root in their ROM.

Really?! Have you actually added a card and used it to make payments via NFC?

I don't believe you.
I checked the LeeDroid thread and multiple people have reported it working. I'd just be paranoid with every AP update that it will no longer work.
Speaking off android pay, can you hide the annoying NFC icon from statusbar without root? I use my mobile banking app a lot and my bank app won't work with rooted phones (found that out on my M8). I am aware that I need the NFC on for Android Pay to work but I wish it could just turn itself on when needed

No, unfortunately you're stuck with the icon without root.
Android Pay also works on Badboyz Sprint ROM. I used it yesterday at Walgreens.....
I have been making payments for a week now. Can add delete cards

Hi. Noob, kinda, here...
I'm on LeeDrOid r110, systemless xposed and SuperSu, but have yet to get Android Pay to work. I've even tried disabling Xposed and SuperSu, which only crashes as I try to add a credit card, specifically, once I press the "+" icon, my screen goes black, then it crashes and I get the Android Pay white loading screen. How do you have it set up?
Oh, I'm on 1.80.xxxx, S-Off...

Xposed breaks android pay as it modifies the system. How are you "disabling" it? Did you flash the removal .zip in recovery? If not I would try that first and see if you can get Android Pay working. If you have done that and android pay is still not working I would flash the appropriate RUU to get back to stock, unrooted, then go through the steps to root (systemless) and flash your rom, but do not install xposed. It SHOULD work after that.

Hi Bladerunner.
Thanks for replying. Didn't realize how old this thread was until after posting.
I'm using the Systemless Xposed v85.7 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268
There's a "Disable Xposed" toggle, I guess similar to SuperSu also has a toggle. I want Xposed more than I want Android Pay. Maybe these people that are Unlocked, Rooted, S-Off, and running LeeDrOid don't have Xposed install and that's why their Android Pay is working.
Anyway, I'm just a bit OCD or unrealistic in thinking I can have it all.
And I would "Thank" you, but reached my quota today. Will make up tomorrow.
Cheers...
Android Pay works without issue on a systemless rooted stock ROM even... Just don't modify system and you're good. For now anyway.

Hi schmeggy.
Any chance you don't have Xposed installed? I don't see it listed in your signature. I think that's the true culprit. Beside being on different ROM, I'm on LeeDrOid which is systemless, Xposed is the only difference with your setup.

Thank you for your feedback.
I've tried to maintain systemless, but still no joy. There are posts that state Android Pay works for them and my HTC 10 would be complete if I can solve this issue.
FYI...
Since I love picking at scabs, can't leave well enough alone, and have a severe case of update-itus, last one is a whole different can of worms, I followed my hunch and hope this will help anyone else curioused/interested.
I dirtied flashed my ROM, LeeDrOid, which delete/wrote-over, idk because they're the geniuses, not me, the Xposed Framework, I was able to verify via SafetyNet Helper and being able to add a credit card in Android Pay, that YES, Xposed Framework bunks Android Pay. I will try to make a purchase during lunch today and will update.

Too bad we havent been able to figure out a xposed app that tricks safetynet api into thinking its all good, then we could have it all
yea, even with systemless xposed, you still need to disable xposed via the toggle switch, and then reboot to get android pay to work. I managed to get my 2gb of free verizon data for making 3 soda purchases at work. Although, on a semi related note, android pay doesnt like one of my CC's with SE chip, it likes my other 2 just fine.
I have a Reach through Boost. Nice phone except for storage issues. Currently running 5.1.1. Unlike other Kyoceras it has a developer's option to allow unlocking of bootloader. Does anyone know how to root and if there is a Android 6 rom that can be used with the Reach.
You have to go into developer mode and check OEM Unlock. KingRoot did the trick for me after that.
Is that all? Cuz it didn't change a dang thing for me, bro.

I was thinking of something so I'll just quickly say it.
1. Kingroot Temp Root
2. CWM app?
3. Magisk Root
I don't know if this will work.

I think you need to flash the phone with a pre-rooted stock rom
get msl code, enable usb
use kyocera flashing tool exe
stick majisk in the boot folder and flash ?

Research
So I'll try researching a way to root this device so I'll back if I find anything
had one a few Christmas ago, got all excited, the phone and the contract, the 3g went out a month or so later... and that was about it for me, these days I'm just using a cheap phone, with insurance or warranty, still takes a few weeks to replace... I'm trying the Blu mtk veiw 1 right now 25 bucks
So kinda glancing around and trying to dig, it seems if you order the phone from Google Store, you can unlock bootloader and root on any OS. If obtained from Verizon, you cannot root if it already has 7.1.1? Is this statement correct? So it seems to best order it from Google Store it seems?

You have it exactly right.
I just came across the same consensus. If it helps, I have the Pixel XL 128 with Verizon, version 7.1.1 and my build is NOF26V.
The verizon pixel xl's are still shipping with NDE63P, which is 7.1 and still not patched against depixel8. So for the time being you can get one from either.

Not from what I've seen. People all over are saying the Verizon units are now shipping with 7.1.1. Get it from Google if you want to be able to unlock.
I wont argue that, i received mine in early feb, the 5th i think, so it may have changed. So to be safe google is the right choice, i just couldnt pass up the chance to get it for half price, so i took a chance and it paid off. Literally.

Im very disappoint and upset, I got Pixel XL came with 7.1.1 (NOF26V) VZW So, I have been research on the website and mostly They said 7.1 to 7.1.1 "early" It's seem I can't get unlock bootloader anymore, but maybe in the future could be exploit patch?
The answer is maybe, but since the guys that did it before i dont believe are even working on another, i wouldnt get your hopes up.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Verizon is definitely still shipping them with only 7.1. I just got mine 4 days ago and could see it was wanting to update. I didn't take it because I was trying to unlock bootloader with depixel8. Depixel8 wasn't working i can't remember the error but it was hanging on the first step, trying to push it to /data/local/tmp. I tried rebooting to start over and when it came back up it had 7.1.1 on it and now I can no longer try unlocking or rooting. So you can still get it from Verizon, just don't let it reboot before you get it unlocked
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
I wouldn't even take the risk at this point. Spend a lil more out of pocket and by it directly from Google if you're looking to unlock. Some vzw models are shipping with 7.1.1 now. Would kinda suck to open the box and not be able to unlock. Best bet for anyone is to buy from Google if you plan on unlocking.

Actually looks like you have to use depixel8 to unlock the bootloader in order to flash SU with TWRP, I am hoping I get one that has the older version on it and isn't on 7.1.1
I don't feel like kicking out 860 when I can just have it billed by 30 a month to my verizon account.

Do not follow anything in that link, it is very out of date. And correct, you can't flash or boot TWRP until the bootloader is unlocked. And you cant root it until you get twrp running
If your Verizon phone comes with 7.1.1 or you update it to 7.1.1 before you unlock it you are done. Up to you if the gamble is worth it, just making sure you know what is what.
Well I am going to find out tomorrow when I get my pixel, is there an easy way to make sure it doesn't run the OTA update when opening it from the box? If I keep Wifi off and don't put in my SIM will that guarantee it or can you even get to the point to check the version without a SIM loaded? I am keeping my Galaxy Note ...does the Pixel come with the SIM loaded already and require activation?
I want to make sure it doesn't take the OTA update if I am lucky enough to get one without it. I use the Wifi tethering often when I am travelling as well as other root apps like Ti-Backup, Root Explorer, Ect...

Don't install the SIM, skip setup, and no wifi. You may have to connect WiFi for a second or two before the slider in dev options will work.

Best bet would be to use the Android toolkit in the Dev area and load depixel8? I've rooted 3 phones before but this one is quite different. I've used ADB, ect...just trying to find the "right" way to do it, can't seem to find an exact proper way other than this :

This is my plan, skip everything, get into the phone, hope to god it's 7.1, enable USB Debugging and Dev options from Settings...then use depixel8 to unlock the boot loader, then I am lost. Checked around 40 threads on here and have found 10 different ways to root...this is the XDA root :
How to Install SuperSU on your Pixel
As Chainfire mentions in his Google+ post, you will need to first download the boot-to-root images for the Pixel or Pixel XL off of his website. You can click here to download the zip for the Google Pixel, or click here to download the zip for the Google Pixel XL. After downloading the zip, you need to fastboot boot the boot-to-root image, DO NOT fastboot flash the image! In other words, the only command you’ll need for the two devices is the following:
fastboot boot boot-to-root.img
Wait a few minutes, and after a few reboots you’ll be booted up with full root access. Yay!

There are a lot of ways because this phone was so different, so a lot of what you see is the testing and changes that can from that.
So, after it is unlocked update it to 7.1.1 and then:
Download 2.7.9 SR3 SuperUser and copy it to your phone.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
Download TWRP RC3 and copy it to your fastboot folder.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500312
Using other versions than above will bootloop you. Reboot the phone into bootloader mode. Power and Vol down.
fastboot BOOT twrpFilename.img Where twrpfilename.img is the name of the TWRP file you just downloaded. Note is says boot in the command, not flash.
That will boot the phone into TWRP. Select Install and install the SU zip you copied to the phone above. And reboot the phone, done.
---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------
And here is the link to the proper fastboot version.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
The box that the phone comes in has the software version on it. So you'll know before even powering it on. I got my regular pixel last week and it had 7.1.
Best is to disable automatic OTA upon opening the box when you find that you have 7.1. So there is a better chance of getting the exploit to work even after reboots.

Exactly, power on with no sim and skip any set up including wifi. No reason to do any set up as the bootloader unlock with wipe the device. Enable ADB and get to unlocking straight away. No sim and no wifi means there is zero way it can update itself on you.

Hello XDA! First post here and I’ve been reading a lot since I got my phone. I seem to have found a solution, (maybe), but I'm not clear on a few vital things.
A little back story… my dad just gave me his Verizon Note 4. It was on Marshmallow, but has since been downgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1, N910VVRU2BPA1. From what I understand it still has the locked MM bootloader (?).
I’m planning to root the phone, but only if I can further downgrade it to Kitkat 4.4.4. I’ve read through the thread “Stabilized process used to unlock Bootloader” and it seems it should unlock the bootloader. However, I’ll end up with a “Developer Edition” phone. This leads to my questions…
1) Once successfully rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, will I be able to downgrade the phone to Kitkat by just flashing the firmware in Odin? I really don’t care if I lose root, I just want Kitkat on the phone.
2) Can I just flash the “retail” version of Kitkat from Sammobile or do I need a “developer edition” Kitkat (if there even is one)?
3) Can someone advise me if what I imagine might be possible is even doable?
Any help is greatly appreciated! I’m new to this so if these are just funky questions, please excuse. Lots to learn! Thanks so much!!!
A little help please!
Someone must know this.
Can I or can't I flash the "retail" Kitkat firmware onto a "supposed" Dev Edition rooted to unlock the bootloader?
I hope someone can clarify this before I do something stupid!
Thanks!

Yes you can, make sure to unlock bootloader first. But when you flash you will loose bootloader unlock. I have a guide where I could use the lollipop bootloader and use kitkat. I really love kitkat and with root you have lots of potential for battery savings and more!
---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------
If you would like to downgrade the bootloader add a twrp custom recovery and use the kitkst method I have and you can have the best phone, I also would recommend you buying a zerolemon battery and case.
But if you do just want to have full stock and have all the bloat ware on it you can like you stated unlock the bootloader and then flash the retail kitkat and your all set and downgraded

Thank you very much for responding! I very much appreciate it!
I don't care to keep root and just want the phone on Kitkat. In the future I may decide to root it and play around with roms and such, but not right now. I can now go ahead and attempt it with confidence. I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks again! :good:
Well, tried all kinds of stuff and it was a no go.
Was able to get the phone rooted finally... had to use KingOroot. Kingroot failed to work no matter how many versions I tried. Once rooted, checked download mode and it indicated Developer. However, I was unable to install retail KK or KK stock restore in Odin 3.10 and 3.09. Since the flash failed, putting it into recovery ended up in an error about "Software update failed"... use a PC, blah, blah, blah. Wouldn't let me go anywhere in recovery.
Decided to try flashing LP 5.1.1 back to the phone and it flashed ok in Odin 3.09. Phone is back up, but lost root, (expected), and I'm back again at square 1. At least the phone isn't bricked! LOL!
Maybe the problem is that this phone has an MM bootloader so eventhough it's unlocked, you can't flash KK to it? Don't know, but I guess I'm back to trying to find this out.
Good experience so far eventhough this attempt didn't get me anywhere! Well... at least I know how to root it and unlock the bootloader!
Yesterday, tried to update to new 11.0.2 with an stupid mistake, you click "flash" and dont untick this crapy "clean and lock"

miflash_unlock-en-3.5.910.35
Miflash
so after hours of desperate research, found a way , here, for unlocking bootloader...oh yeah you will laughing and say "its simple"
not so the easiest way when you are in the mad state
so if you did as me, you end with bootloop and stuck to MI recover 3, no other choice to erase data or mi assistant or reboot
so fortunately the fastboot mode is still here..... so
1)reboot with volume- key and let it done to fastboot
2)at this point any "fastboot oem unlock" ends with argc 2, no unlock possible
so as listed in other topics,
3)do miflash unlock as always requested for flashing rom in tutorials and make "unlock"

5)do "miflash " select the rom directory where its dezipped and TICK "CLEAN ALL"
6) do "flash"
7)wait 5 minutes
8) when done it reboots with success

I redid everything using MiFlashTool and this is my personal guide, improved upon the above guide.
1. Download Magisk 20.1
2. Reboot to TWRP Recovery
3. Make Wipe and Format Data
4. Copy and install Magisk 20.1
5. Advanced > File Manager >system_root / system > Delete the recovery_fromboot.p file
6. Advanced (put 2 checkmarks) Close AVB2.0
7. Advanced (put 2 ticks) RM Force encrypt
11. Reboot System
12. Pass authorization, install the Magisk app-release.apk
i followed it and runs with 11.0.2 and magisk 20.1
see pics
enjoy

I can see some of contents are copied from somewhere else in "How to Root and installing Google Pay" section.
This is NOT a completely guide. Lack of installing TWRP after rom flash. Also in installing Google Pay, why to delete old magisk? Don't have it installed at all. Also what's the purpose of install superSU?
I understand what you are talking but if someone follows your instruction, may be confused and brick the phone.

Exactly... Why both MagiskSU and SuperSU?
Hi,
TWRP and ROOT process is not my guide, i dont take credits for that, they are 2 others users work not mine.
mine is not to be bored with BL relocked with miflash
for sure it occurs in many cases....
the process for flashing is seems not to be updated, i have a CN phone with a global ROM, tutorial is initially for global phones.
it needs a new guide for CN phones and global rom
BUT
i follow the part wrote by

and so
il follown the rules in twrp
you can juste flash supersu, it is included in the rom, it install magisk 19.4 and let it go as that.
but if you want to be updated to 20.1
you can follow just flash twrp and all wipes and decrypt and avdb2.0 close
you must download magisk 20.1 manually and install it twrp
i dont have another procedure to follow, just the mix with all indicactions in the guide for begonia twrp and root

ask that to the original writer of the guide madsponge26, perhaps it need to be updated to add CN phone and global rom case

I paid on S-unlock, NOT from Mi store rep or service center. I'm sure I can get fix for free at Mi store but I don't want to wait for 2 months sending phone back to China.
I have China phone with Global rom, I bought from Mi store in China. Since I get bricked last week. I will take extra care on flash rom etc.

Spent time on it and I realised SuperSU may contains some contents that MagiskSU needs. Installing SuperSU is kind of installing old version of MagiskSU to patch boot image. Then Magisk 20.1 installation is to "upgrade", although it looks like a new installation. I also noticed it may need to uninstall old version before new 20.1 upgrade. That's why uninstaller may be necessary. No definite clue, just guessing.

May I know whether you are using China variant with Global rom? And also what's your process to install the MAGISK?

I'm using the global version with the global firmware. You just have to unlock the bootloader, enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging, fastboot flash lrtwrp, delete replace stock recovery on boot, disable AVB2.0 from the twrp advanced menu, and click on install root from the same menu...

This is probably why you can install everything. It seems using China variant and global rom will cause issues.

Yup... I thought that was a known fact from the get go.... You'll be fine if you switch to the Chinese variant and root that instated of trying to root the global version on a Chinese device..

That sounds bad. But there are workarounds to some of those problems am i wrong? You can debloat using Szaki tools to get rid of preloaded apps, flash OpenGapps to get Google services and someone here mentioned that uninstalling MSA (Miui System Ads) and changing the region to UK might disable the ads... As for NFC, does the Chinese variant even have the hardware needed for that even if you flash the global version?

Too much work for Ads and gapps. Flash global rom is quicker and clean.
NFC is available in Chinese variant however after unlock BL GPay won't be happy and will not allow to use this is why I need to install Magisk. However Chinese variant with global Rom means bootloops. I've paid $US29 to fix.

To each his own i guess.. I would personally prefer being on the same version as the devices region if it means i'll have a more stable device on my hand.
