To use Google Pay, you need to pass Safety net.
It is not related to bootloader.
And relocking bootloader without losing any data is possible if and only if you did not flash any custom mods like recovery , kernel ..As it validates md5 checksum

You don't need to re-lock the bootloader to use Google Pay. Install TWRP as your recovery and then install Magisk!

That's what I'm trying to avoid.
I want to go 100% stock.
I just ran safetynet test, i got cts profile match failed.
How do i fix this?
You will need to relock the bootloader then, you may lose data. Just back up everything first like pictures and videos. All your apps will re-download when you sign back into Google

Is there a way to keep my phone as is when i relock the bootloader?
And how do i relock it?
Link to guide please?

You won't be able to keep your phone 'as is' unfortunately, all data will be wiped and the phone reset.

I heard about Wallet not working if you unlock bootloader without logging in or something? Is that true? Is there anything I should do before I unlock my bootloader, root, and install custom roms?
Thanks.

Back up your sdcard to your computer, as unlocking will wipe that. As far as the Google Wallet question, I am not sure. I've never had an issue with it.

If you've been using your phone before your unlock the bootloader, then back up your "/mnt/sdcard" because it will be wiped when you unlock bootloader.
You must reset Google Wallet from within the apps settings. Open the app and go to settings>reset wallet. This MUST be done before you do a factory reset, unlock the bootloader, or flash a ROM otherwise you run the risk of breaking the NFC secure element for wallet.
So If I have had my Nexus for an entire day and I don't care if I lose anything, since there is nothing but a few apps I can get again, I can just go for it?
Should I wait until my Verizon Nexus upgrades itself to 4.0.4??

That's totally up to you. I personally ran mine stock for a month to make sure I didn't have any hardware issues. I'm in the process of backing up my SDcard right now so I can unlock and root.

Just unlock it now so you don't have to worry about backing up your sdcard later when you do unlock later.
You'll still get the OTA if your boot loader is unlocked.

Great, thank you very much!
Sorry guys im pretty new to all this rooting business And aopk and stuff like that i just want to know can you root without wiping everything off your phone?
thanks
Sorry for being a noob
No. You must unlock the bootloader, which wipes the device. Just back up your stuff and do it.

No, it will destroy everything, even on the sdcard partition (backup before unlocking). Also, use the GN Toolkit, makes it very easy to perform.

there is a way, there is a thing called CasualRoot, which claims to but i havent tried myself. although apparently it only works pre 4.0.4.
post back if anybody can confirm this
Where did you get your phone? MOST Play Store phones from the batch last April/May don't wipe when unlocked.
Also, there's a hack/exploit that lets you unlock without wiping.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1731993
1) If you have a Play Store GNex, you can unlock without wiping.
2) If you are running a build earlier than IMM76D (i.e., 4.0.4), you can root and then unlock without wiping.
3) If you have root, you can unlock without wiping.

As I had indicated, if you are running 4.0.1 or 4.0.2, you are able to root without unlocking the bootloader, and then you can unlock without wiping.

I've just upgraded to 4.4 here on my Nexus 7 which has broken Kingsoft office which I require for my work.
Whilst I wait for a fix from Kingsoft, is there any way to roll back to 4.3 without voiding my warranty?
Thanks in advance.
Try quick office. It's free and works fine.
If you still want to roll back, you can do without voiding warranty
Download the one click factory restore from here

also your bootloader needs to unlocked for it to work and you will lose your data if you unlock the bootloader now.
There might be better options though. Wait for someone more knowledgeable to reply.

Thanks for that. The reason I need to use Kingsoft is because I need the data validation function on the spreadsheets with drop down boxes for what's allowed.

You can rollback to 4.3 system software however if you try to keep your user data your system will hang at boot. If you have a backup of your 4.3 user data then that is not a big deal. Alternatively if you wipe data factory reset from recovery that will get things working again.
You do need to unlock your bootloader and flash the factory images though.

You need to have the bootloader unlocked to flash anything unsigned. Currently the only thing Google sends out that is signed are the OTAs. There is no OTA from KRT16S/O back to JSS15*, so your only option is to use a factory restore. Since the factory restores shipped so far are not signed, you need to unlock bootloader.
You can unlock the bootloader here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379618
During the process of unlocking bootloader, the system will wipe your userdata and sdcard for security reasons.
The post you reference assumes your bootloader is already unlocked.
So, you got two options left.
You need to unlock the bootloader under both methods. Remember it wipes user data completely.
After unlocking you can either flash the factory image for 4.3 or use the one click factory restore.
Personally I feel one click factory restore is easier

Yes, but I may be mistaken but unlocking the boot loader may constitute as voiding the warranty as well.
You would have to unlock it, which will wipe, downgrade to 4.3, then relock it to make it look stock.
Thanks guys I'm back on 4.3. How do I re-lock the boot loader?

You can get back to the 4.3 ROM w/o wiping user data (as a result of the unlock)
However the 4.3 ROM will not boot (will hang at X animation) with your user data once the 4.4 upgrade process has completed on your user data, so you will probably end up wiping user data anyway to get the boot to complete.

Boot to bootloader (Power+VolDown)
in command prompt in your SDKs platform-tools directory
fastboot oem lock
Unlike unlocking, you will NOT have to wipe user data when locking.
Locking just sets a flag so it is very fast.
However, I would leave it unlocked if I were you and you are not selling it or getting warranty work done. If you ever need to unlock again you are going to be in the same boat of losing all of your data.

Let me ask a question. I've got my bootloader unlocked and I've downloaded the stock 4.3.2 from the Google Developer's site. If I don't want to do the one click restore can someone point me in the right direction for a good step by step? I've looked at a couple of different ones but none looked right or I'm not reading things correctly. To be honest I can't find the one I read from a couple of days ago. It addresses dealing with the tarball you get when you download the image from Google, but I'm really really bad about not using bookmarks. So I'm kinda stuck at this point now. Thanks in advanced.

Hi, I have a problem after re-lock and factory reset. My bank app, paylib, which allows to pay with phone using NFC, recognize my phone as a new one. The problem is that if I choose the"new" terminal for installation it doesn't work and installation aborts. Just message : error #tech. 03000# at the end. Is it because I relocked bootloader?
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
I have the same problem with Google Pay after installing Leedroid.
I can add my card but when i click verify card the app glitches and force closes.

It's not working not because of your relocked/unlocked or locked status, it doesn't work because you probably messed with the OS.
See if you can find a ruu and flash it to be sure you are completely stock. If you had at some point rooted your software and unrooted it by the uninstaller it leaves traces. Bank apps are very bad when it comes to root.

Strange. Because i know several banking apps are even working on a custom rom rooted via Magisk. With the needed modules they are able to use the applications without any strange behavior.
Not sure where your issue lies then.

Thanks for answering, but I already tried that and it doesn't work.
So a little while ago i tried to root my S9, it did not go well so i flashed stock firmware in Odin and everything started working fine again.
Yesterday my bank finally started supporting Google pay so i went to add my card but it said i was still rooted. After some searching i found out the my CTS Profile Match was failing because i unlocked the bootloader, is there anyway to relock the bootloader to pass safetynet?
on developer options you can disable bootloader unlock but its gonna factory reset your device.

your knox is already 0x1 samsung pay and some other features for example s health you can not access it anymore via the original apk and firmware if you don't have root..
google pay will work just fine after you gonna lock the bootloader.
and if you want to use gpay with custom rom you must delete google play services and install a version that starts from 14. something and hide magisk but it works just fine
