Google pay / etc - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

After finally getting a ROM installed, I found out that Google pay won't work, along with Samsung pay in the Galaxy watches.
They know the system is rooted and what not I even tried to use magisk hide but it doesn't seem to work for these apps. Is there anyway I can restore this functionality?

Magisk Hide is useless for Google Pay it'll still detect your phone if its still rooted. There's a magisk module called GPay SQlite it pretty much patches the part where google tries to detect if the device is rooted. I've been using this module for a long time and hasn't failed once on me, its definitely worth your time installing this one.
Here's the link to the forum which has the download on there.

I have a Gear S3 and it seems to work well ONLY if you hide Magisk Manager and then use Magisk hide Samsung Pay. This is as of a couple weeks ago when all the bootloader unlock detection was happening. I haven't tried since then. You can fail CTS/Safetynet, but still get Samsung Pay to work.

anyone getting google pay to work w latrest magisk?

Seems like it has stopped working for most people over the past week that are rooted w magisk. I assume the problem is w magisk , just wondering what other people are experiencing
Having the same issue. I never used it much but I decided to try setting it up for in store use. Says it won't work because my device is rooted. On stock Pie with Kiri kernal and latest magisk. I've tried hiding magisk from pay and even totally hiding magisk and nothing.

Thanks! I followed those guides and managed to get PayPal added. I'll have to test it next time I go shopping. :good:

GPay Can tell root now???

FIX:
1. Add Google Services to Magisk Hide (if you're on Magisk 18.1 use "su magiskhide --add com.google.android.gms" in terminal)
2. Add Google Pay and Google Services Framework to Magisk Hide
3. Go to data/data and rename com.google.android.gms to com.google.android.gms.bak for example (or delete it altogether, but backing up seems safer)
Reboot and do whatever you like in GPay, it should work now. That's all I've done. I don't think you need to reinstall Magisk.
cts profile - true
basicintegrity - true
" couldnt finish setup to pay in stores
this phone can't be used to pay in stores. This is because it is rooted or altered in some way "

Long thread and a lot of moving parts, so work backwards on the thread. Personally, I am just waiting until a final and formal fix is found on stable Magisk and up to date Play apps.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/app...ssion-t3906703
My experience with this issue is I run GPay, go back to Magisk, safetynet fails on both.. So I force close Magisk, clear cache and data.. reboot. Open Magisk back up, Safetynet passes.. Gpay sets up fine. Sometimes you have to do this several times and it's a real pain but it's always worked for me..
this thread has info: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/march-security-update-t3907281
this worked for me:
1. Disable Google Pay/Find My Device as Device Administrators in Settings > Security & location > Device Administrators.
2. Search "Google Play services" in the Settings search bar.
3. Press the three dots and press "Uninstall previous updates".
4. Download this update - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-7-99-release/
Pick your needed edition (arm or arm64, etc.), download it and install it.
5. Disable Background data access for Google Play Services and Google Play in their respective App Info pages.
6. Download Google Pay from the Play Store.
7. Set up your cards. Enjoy!

I know.. it's ridiculous, appreciate the clarification!
I have the same problem, Gpay detects root.
After I've gained root using extracted boot.img from January's update and Magisk, it's impossible to hide the root.
Natwest bank app won't let me use fingerprint because it detects root, even Zoho mail detect root.
I am going to unroot, install march's update, then re-root using the same method, and if still doesn't work I will try what you described "dipstik"
I will let you know once it's done.

I update this way:
Copy 18.1 Magisk to the phone.
Flash the factory image after editing out the -w so data is saved.
Boot to TWRP, but I do not install it.
Install the Magisk zip with TWRP.
That's it. I have never had a problem with GPay. I also have it hidden in Magisk, perhaps because I have always had it hidden I am ok.....dunno.
This workaround worked for me with magisk 18.2 Canary build.
GPS 14.8.49
Google pay 2.82.231680166
Make sure to hide Google play services and Google services framework in Magisk hide.

TonikJDK,
Have you added a card and actually used GPay at the terminal since this all started? I am in the same boat as you.
GPay is installed and opens fine on my wife's Pixel 3. Her device is running stock/rooted March rooted with 18.1 and has no TWRP. The only two things hidden are GPay and Play Store. The catch is that the card was already there. The new version of GPay showed up after clearing data/cache for Play Store and was loaded right after March install which decertified the design in Play Store forcing the data/cache clear. The card was always there. I have been hesitant to try loading a card or using this one at the terminal due to all of this.
My Pixel 3 XL also opens GPay fine, but like hers I have been hesitant to add a card or use it at the terminal. I am running dotOS (based on February), rooted with 18.1 with TWRP 3.2.3-3 fully installed. Same two relevant aps hidden, but in my case I didn't have to do anything to get the new version of GPay to show up since I didn't install March.

My cards were already in there before anyone started having all these problems and before the March update.. I use it all the time, it has never failed to work. I used it yesterday several times.

Thanks. That gives me some comfort in using the already loaded cards at least. I am not planning on loading any new cards or having to start from scratch any time soon. Seems like an already working GPay with a previously loaded card is OK.

It depends. My Gpay was opening fine and cards were loaded but payments didn't work, was getting error message that said I can't use payments because phone is rooted or altered in some other way.

Sadly this method only works for a limited time.
Overnight GPS updates to version 15 by its own self and GP stops working.
I'm not sure I'm ready to to this procedure daily just for Google pay. For the time being I'll use my card until Magisk developer finds solution to this problem.
Well, I jinxed it a few posts back saying I was ok. It just told me no more when I used it.
yeah nothing worked for me even when I uninstalled magisk and tried the steps above on stock. Ended up factory resetting. but thats the last move to do

Google Pay is a real asshole and doesn't let you know something is wrong until you actually tap to pay.
It's happened to me a couple of throughout my ownership of Pixels.

Safety net passes but Google pay doesn't work?

Hey guys. So I have the latest magisk beta v19 and latest magisk manager. My safety net is passing but Google pay doesn't work. Did the new March update make it detect unlocked bootloader? My bootloader is unlocked with TWRP installed. Has anyone tested with and without TWRP installed?

Works for me but I had to make sure to hide the needed apps in MagiskHide (GPay, G Play Services, Framework) and even then, it required me to clear data in Pay, Services > then reboot > then proceed to add a card.
Also check to make sure that auto updates are not on for Google Pay. I think the version matters. My version is currently 2.84.237487748.

Wow so idk which one of the things you said did it but it worked, I downgraded my app, but I didn't have Google framework hidden from magisk so I did that I cleared the data and then rebooted that worked! Thanks so much and anyone else who's having this issue try this

Great, I will say its hit or miss sometimes. Mine worked in stores for a few days, then stopped saying I was rooted so I had to redo the method to get it back.
This is the fix
Magisk stable build, all latest official builds of everything else, nothing special. and Magisk hide on google play store, google play services and google pay then - Renaming com.google.android.gms to com.google.android.gms.bak (found in Data/Data) in root browser and then rebooting is the answer .

Stockish P2XL Magisk and Google Pay

I was running Android 9 Aug?2018 update with a custom kernel and Magisk. A few weeks ago Google Pay stopped working and i read the long thread here about the Google Play store update and Magisk no longer hiding root. I dirty flashed an updated stock rom and removed the format (-w) switch. I stayed with the stock kernel. Re-rooted with update Magisk root and Magisk app. In Magisk i pass SafetyNet Check ctsProfile and basicIntegrity. When i try to use Google Pay I still get the error message that i cannot use GooglePay there. I am very close to just going completely stock with no root as I am not jacking with my phone as much as i did years ago, android is progressing nicely and plus many devs have moved on from the P2XL. I just really dont want to have to re setup my phone. Any thing else i can try to use GooglePay before i go back to stock?
P2XL Bootloader unlocked
Android: 9.0 3/5/19
Magisk V19.0 (19000)
Magisk Manager 7.1.1

There is a lot of talk in many threads about this. There is a good tutorial or two around that do work but seemingly only temporarily then it breaks again. Seems Google would a way to detect stuff that is not patched yet. I am at work so I don't have much time to go searching but it should not be hard to find. It includes deleting a folder and reinstalling and hiding magisk.

I appreciate the reply. installed this plugin. cleared cache/data for Google Pay and Deleted the GMS folder again. Reinstalled GPay, no joy
Trying to decide on checking out Android Q or Dirty Unicorn. I dont jack with my phone much anymore, may be worth it to checkout Q and lock it up for GPAY atleast for now.

Question Unable to install Netflix after rooting

So, I managed to root this beauty 1+9 Pro relatively easily.
I got Magisk installed, and hid all the Apps that needed hiding.
Even Google Pay works.
But I can't for my sanity figure out why Netflix or Android OS 11 is refusing to let me install Netflix.
Everytime I try to install the Netflix App latest APK, extracted from my old working phone ( Razer Phone 2 also rooted), it will just give me the error message " Sorry No Application Available "
Does anyone have a clue what can be done to make Netflix install in a rooted 1+9 Pro ?
Thanks.
BTW i tried several Netflix App version already.
Also I do know the APK works because I used it to install on another Tablet that will not show up Netflix on Google store.

Is Netflix currently installed as a system app? I wasn't able to uninstall that or get it working, so when I was on 11.2.2.2 I managed to fix it by installing a *newer* version of the Netflix apk that I grabbed from apkpure.com, over top of the system app. Then I had the same issue again on 11.2.4.4, and that method didn't work anymore. However, that time it let me uninstall updates to the app and then update in the play store.
I dont know how exactly, but Netflix still detects the rooted device and denies the install from google play, I think based in the unocked boot loader not sure.
I managed to install from apkmirror and is working fine now.
there is a catch though.
They are moving away from simple apk install and using apk bundles, like some sort of tarball with several apks in it, so you will need this apkm installer app for it to install the newer version. to get this installer working you need to disabled MIUI optimizations from dev options. thats all, I got mine working this passed saturday that way
EDIT: never mind with that MIUI option i thought this was a diffirent model, none the less the apkmirror is still worth a shot
I some how managed to force install it via Titanium Backup, but then it gives me another error when I try to run Netflix App.
" This device is not supported by the app "
it's running the latest version Netflix v7.102.0 build 12 35461
You have to install Magisk Canary, once you do so reboot the phone. Wipe Google play stores data and cache.. magisk hide Netflix and the Google Play Services reboot once more. That's how I got mine to work.
Install: liboemcrypto disabler
from Magisk, reboot ....enjoy

I just did after reading this.
It's not showing up in Google Play store.
It's just so weird, everything else works, Google Pay (wallet), Pokemon Go, Banking Apps, everything else that usually will complain and refuse to run when Root is detected, are all working fine, except for Netflix.

I'm thinking maybe I'll need to un-root my phone, update Netflix, see if it runs without root, if it works, then try to root again and figure how to go from there.

I did this and had the same problem while unrooted, so it turned out to be a waste of time. It seems to have an issue with the unlocked bootloader, not just root. At least with root you can hide unlocked status, which is a step in the right direction. Hide root from Netflix, and also hide magisk app itself in magisk settings.
If you're trying to install Netflix over the system app, make sure to first uninstall updates to the system app so it's the oldest possible version. Then make sure whatever version you're installing on top (whether from play store or APK download) is newer than your installed version. Older versions will not install over newer ones.

At least with root you can hide unlocked status, which is a step in the right direction. Hide root from Netflix, and also hide magisk app itself in magisk settings.
If you're trying to install Netflix over the system app, make sure to first uninstall updates to the system app so it's the oldest possible version. Then make sure whatever version you're installing on top (whether from play store or APK download) is newer than your installed version. Older versions will not install over newer ones.

Update.
Minor good news.
I wiped the phone from recovery mode.
So, the phone is kind of factory mode, I completed the "new" phone setup thing, and the first thing I went to try was Netflix and it worked.
So... it appears to be something to do with Root and/or Magisk being detected.
Update 2
More good news, I rooted it again, installed Magisk and Netflix is still working.
Not sure why it wasn't working before, also not quite sure what was the actual fix.
I don't really consider a full system wipe a "fix" but well that did it for me.

A wipe isn't necessary but glad you got it working

So, I just imported Apps and Data from the old phone again via Google "setup my device" transfer, and now Netflix got disabled again.
I'll try again and skip Google transfer to find out if that helps.
I can always use One+ Switch App to see if that is better.

OnePlus switch will still result in the same issue. Clear data and cache,install the app link I provided and make sure magiskhide is set to on.

Seems like it worked,
I installed a full APK from my old phone and now it's able to run.
However it still doesn't show up in Google Play store when I search for Netflix.
