Android Pay Rooted successful/unsuccessful transaction thread - X Style (Pure) General

We now all know how to add the CC in Android Pay by simply unchecking the root box in SU, add the card, then recheck.
Now the question is when you goto the register to actually use Android Pay did it work? . Please list if it successful
or not and what store it was used at. I really don't want to unroot but I will if I have to.
Please post your experience.

Is using Root Cloak an option? You can surely set Android Play & Google Play Services in Root Cloak to possibly solve this issue entirely.

From what I have read the current root cloak does not work.

Well that sucks. If it gets updated and working, would be the best way to go.

I've got to run to the hardware store today. I'm pretty sure they have NFC terminals...I'll give it a whirl.

From another thread
Found this post in another forum:
"My device (Nexus 6 and 5.1.1 M build) WAS working and was NOT rooted. used android pay this morning. I rooted my device today and updated my kernel to Franco because I wanted better battery life. tried using Android pay at Jimmy johns and Office max, both said Android pay can not be used with this card VISA XXXX.
I didnt have time to turn off root and try again but that stinks if i was not rooted and it worked this morning and now i'm rooted and it doesnt work anymore. I thought the check was only if you were rooted and trying to add cards. mine were already added, verified and working pre root so this is a bummer.

I believe the problem here is you need a Stock Kernel so there is still hope!

Unchecking root in supersu didnt work for me, maybe i have to uninstall busybox AS well ?
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk

Confirmed working. Uninstalled Superuser SU from within app, reboot, added credit card (already shown from old Google wallet), enabled Superuser SU within app, reboot. Go to Trader Joe's and buy Tequila with Tap N Pay. Also screen lock / pin enabled.

I tried today at the grocery store I run and it said card not supported or something like that. This is with root. Im not going to disable root in SU every time I want to pay, its easier to pull out my wallet

Any luck?

That's disappointing
CC

Tried to use at Walgreens with Rooted phone (Navy Fed, which is clearly on the list) and got "card not supported message". Too many people in line for me to stand there and turn off SU to try again.

Looks like we need some way to hide root from apps permanently

Transactions work for me while rooted. Only uprooted to add card. Might want to try different card. I'm using credit card. Good luck.

I got to add my card using the unroot, I'll give it a go if I notice some where I'm at that says androidpay I think walgreens showed it.

Worked beautifully with SuperSU and Xposed installed. All I have to do is disable SuperSU and I can add cards and do Tap and Pay.
Although it worked fine with my Wallet card, I haven't tried my others yet. Will post back once I do.

Tried to pay today with Android pay and was unsuccessful. My card was in all ready to spend money but got access not supported or something right after I put my phone on the card swiper. Should have gotten a screen but was in drive thru. Slightly saddened but removed the app until there is a better method.

I think they should have left wallet as an option to tap and pay until all cards are supported.

Google Wallet Works

Guys,
Ok so looks like Google Wallet works right out the box. Although I believe ISIS mobile wallet is also installed I chose to use GW as the main NFC payment app. You can configure this from the settings menu.
I have used it at Home Depot checkout counters. So I know it works. YMMV.
Thanks
Wow this huge news! Especially since the Galaxy S5 has NXP chipset (which Google never added support for Tap & Pay even on 4.4.2 yet).
If true, looks like they followed HTC/Motorola and Samsung added their own closed-source support. :good:
It works because of 4.4's host card emulation, it doesn't need a special chip or anything like that, it emulates one.

That's correct but HCE was not supported on NXP-based NFC chips in AOSP code even on 4.4.2. That's why there was a question whether Samsung would be adding their own support like HTC and Motorola did on their phones.

Weird, I just figured it would emulate on any chip.
Google wallet works out of the box with kitkat 4.4.2, I've been using on my Verizon s4 MDK build with kitkat 4.4.2 rom for awhile now and when I upgrade to S5, it still works because google wallet designed to work with all kitkat 4.4.2 rom.
Have you guys tried it to actually make the payment? I know the app can be set up, but when I go into NFC settings (Settings --> more networks --> NFC --> tap and pay) I only see ISIS.

Yes it works, I use it all the time. ISIS blows so I was super happy when I discovered Google Wallet Tap&Pay works out of the box with the SGS5.
Make sure you've installed Google Wallet and set it up for Tap & Pay, it will prompt you to set it as default within the app itself.
I am Hit thanks button. It's works good.
Check and see if you get any free credit for using ISIS. I made an account and got a $50 credit on AT&T for using ISIS. As soon as I blow through that it's back to Google Wallet.
Isis doesn't work after root for me. Will have to try google wallet. :good:

I was surprised to learn that Google Wallet 'works' on a Verizon phone. When I took my Dev Edition to the new Store and started service the rep said, "sure it works!" I remember reading it wouldn't work with phones from Verizon. Hmmmm...
Anyway, froze ISIS (or whatever it's called now, after changing the name for obvious reasons) and installed Wallet. It works great for me! A pleasant surprise.

Isis with root?

Not sure if anyone's aware but verizon has a deal where u get $25 then another $15 for activating an m8... I got my wife's today and my phone COULD still get it since I got it a month ago but, I'm rooted and running viper. I'm thinking maybe I can go back to stock and see if it works.
I got a nice jbl Bluetooth speaker with the $25 off today and I'd like to get a case if I can get my other $25

There is an Xposed module called ISISROOTBYPASS that will allow it to work. Root Cloak will as well.

It's not in the "Download" section of Xposed. Do a Google Search. There is a ISIS only root bypass as Root Cloak can be hit or miss with Isis.

My mistake,I meant bone stock Rom. For those on cleanrom, were you able to make payments with Isis at McDonald's, cvs, etc?
When I was on bone stock, everything appeared to work fine, but payments never registered at nfc readers. The phone would say payment went through but nothing happened on the reader.

That happened today at verizon.. I had the stock rom back on with root.. I root cloaked, rebooted, opened Isis and had my free $25... It registered that it went through but the reader didn't receive payment so they entered it manually.
I Bought an htc flip case. I'll get another $16 in two days and then I'm done with Isis...
As for where to claim the $25... You have to activate any NFC phone with verizon right now and u get it... Wether u bought the phone from them or not.

Yes, I've successfully made purchases at Maverik (in-store and at the gas pump), Jamba Juice (free small smoothie when paying with Isis), and at a vending machine.
good to know if I ever decide to go custom rom again. So many options with xposed modules, stock isn't so bad these days!

After you get Isis going and create an account you need to fill out the information to get an AMEX Serve PPD card. You sign up from within the app and it will throw you to AMEX's web site in a new browser window. It is when you sign up for the Serve card that you get the $25.
I just downloaded RootCloak module. It works great.
I signed up for the serve card. It took about 5 minutes and the new card is now in my wallet with $25 credit on it.
EDIT: WTF is up with the dueling apps? Isis wants to be default for trap and pray.
Then when you open Google wallet it won't work unless you make it the default trap and pray app.

Isis Wallet/Softcard On Rooted Phones

Is there a problem with using Softcard/Isis Wallet on a rooted phone since they changed their name to Softcard? I never tried it under the Isis Wallet name so I don't know if it worked then or not. I am unable to run Softcard now because it detects that I am rooted. I have Xposed Framework. I have tried Root Cloak and Isis Root Bypass. Neither one seems to work. Any ideas?

I had the same issue when I first rooted my G3, google it and solved it with this guideline on the link, just follow their steps and its a done deal, ISIS or Softcard now opens
can't seem to post the link just google "bypass root detection android" and look for the one from droidviews . com
works fine with root cloak
Does anyone know how yo make this work on a non US model G3? I have the apk but it won't install when I move it to the system/app and change permissions to 644 (rw-r-r). I would like to use it on my Korean G3 cat 6 but right now it only works on my D850.

It will only work on T-Mobile,att or Verizon phones. They have a special file that reads the enhanced sim card. Maybe they will allow it now that Apple pay is competing, this way they can get it on more phones.

Updates
My app updated yesterday (automatically because of the local wifi) as I was at the store and ready to pay and all of a sudden my phone was freezing because it was updating all the settings..
Well after I got my phone to work and the app to reopen, it said it couldnt open because it was rooted. I had already used a different method of cloaking my root but it seemed to have not worked with the newer version.
My question is...
Will this keep working even if the app updates again?
That way I dont have to go through the same trouble of having to look online for another solution
Root cloak doesn't work anymore. The Softcard app was recently updated and it is back to giving me the error about not working with rooted phones. Are there any other cloaking programs that work?
Super SU. Settings. Check uninstall root. Wait. Open soft card after. Use. Go back to Super SU. Uncheck box. Profit.

Has anyone been successful in getting the Softcard app working on any non-stock 4.4.4 ROM? It FCs when I try to use it on the CM build. I'm just curious if others have experiences similar issues and if anyone has determined a way to get it to work.

That's not going to work. If the phone is not on the list it will not work. I think the phone contacts the network and confirms the phone. No way around that.

Thoughts on rooting this bad boy

I just got a note 5 on sprint and I love it, but I'm really not sure if I want to root. Every device since I got my Samsung moment has been rooted (htc evo 4g lte, s3,s5 for the day I had it, and then the g3). Anyways, my question is losing Samsung pay worth rooting? I mean I love all the things I can do with root, I just wanna know what everyone's opinion is, so I can weigh pros and cons of rooting.

There is a thread on it here over in the general forum.
You need to use ODIN to flash TWRP and then flash a custom kernel, or just flash TWRP with ODIN and then flash a custom ROM. They are already rooted.

How often does anyone go out without your keys and wallet and drivers license. I mean really, I used it a bunch when I went jogging, but it's not 100%. The first time it didn't work I luckily had my wallet and my regular card swiped just fine. I rooted my phone the second I got home that day.
It's totally up to the user to root if need be. I, however, chose not to root this phone only because everything I needed root for I can accomplish without it whilst keeping Samsung Pay and Android Pay intact. I use the latter more than the previous so root is a no go for me based on that. However, I've tried Samsung Pay a few times and it worked with no issues. You just have to ask yourself what exactly do I need root for? These were my needs for root and the fixes I found to accomplish what I needed without rooting:
Camera Shutter Sound fix( Enforced Stream Silencer app)
Hotspot Mod( APN Settings mod. Need MSL # for this which can be gotten through Sprint Chat)
Ad Remover( AdGuard Premium App)
APK Backups/Restore( App Backup and Restore app)
System UI Backup( Smart Switch on PC)
Bloatware Removal/System App Disabler( Package Disabler Pro)
Add any app to MW( MW- Pen App Enabler Pro)
Themes( Samsung Theme Store)
These can all be achieved without root. More importantly, everything works as it should and when you need it to work without getting the dreaded FC and doing trial and error to fix it. If the Pros outweigh the Cons then do it. If not, don't root.
I honestly don't miss it. I have more time to spend with my family and not trying to find what a developer took out to make a feature of the phone work. I get updates on time without waiting for a rooted rom to be posted. I'm not trolling XDA or any other blog seeing when the next update is to whatever rom I'm using to see if hopefully the issues I had with the rom were addressed with the new build. Do I miss root? Sometimes. But ultimately I'm glad I didn't root. This was my choice. As I said, everyone is different. You have to do what works for you. I love that I have full functionality of my phone and confidence knowing if I try a feature it will work as advertised.
I stayed stock for exactly 4 weeks and used samsung pay a few times a day with 5 different credit cards. I've been rooted for the past 3 months and i do NOT miss samsung pay at all. I reap the benefits of root all day everyday because of the amazing ROM dev @tdunham and the amazing KERNEL dev @UpInTheAir.

It's totally up to the user to root if need be. I, however, chose not to root this phone only because everything I needed root for I can accomplish without it whilst keeping Samsung Pay and Android Pay intact. I use the latter more than the previous so root is a no go for me based on that. However, I've tried Samsung Pay a few times and it worked with no issues. You just have to ask yourself what exactly do I need root for? These were my needs for root and the fixes I found to accomplish what I needed without rooting:
Camera Shutter Sound fix( Enforced Stream Silencer app)
Hotspot Mod( APN Settings mod. Need MSL # for this which can be gotten through Sprint Chat)
Ad Remover( AdGuard Premium App)
APK Backups/Restore( App Backup and Restore app)
System UI Backup( Smart Switch on PC)
Bloatware Removal/System App Disabler( Package Disabler Pro)
Add any app to MW( MW- Pen App Enabler Pro)
Themes( Samsung Theme Store)
These can all be achieved without root. More importantly, everything works as it should and when you need it to work without getting the dreaded FC and doing trial and error to fix it. If the Pros outweigh the Cons then do it. If not, don't root.
I honestly don't miss it. I have more time to spend with my family and not trying to find what a developer took out to make a feature of the phone work. I get updates on time without waiting for a rooted rom to be posted.

Thanks for your insight, is there a bloatware List that you referenced?

No. I usually just remove the stuff I know about like Nascar, Ebay, etc. The system apps I disable are usually like the Calculator, Picasa maybe and a couple other things.
still waiting for my promos to go through, once they do, im gonna root it

Android Pay... Is it working for you on your S7E?

Hi Guys
UK User here who just used Android Pay for the first time as a Nationwide customer.
Very surprised as it worked great on a rooted Custom Rom Which is rather weird.... Assuming its systemless root that allowed it.
Does yours work with or without root?
Basically, if you trip knox, you'll lose it. Otherwise, it works fine.
I tripped Knox installing recovery lol...
If you have root it won't work, tripping knox will only cause Samsung pay to not work

Exactly same for me... But Nationwide does support it... Quite weird that it works on root.
I was just about to type in auto pilot, Give us your details and I'll give it a try. Yer you to bank lol. I was going to see if I could get a mates bank and give it a quick whirl.
When you go to input your bank details, does it not allow you to this stage.
I. E warns you about rooted device before being allowed to input card details?
Something to try. SuperSU has uninstalled method from within the app. Try removing root. Use android pay. Then re-root

I take it that by "it works" you meant adding a bank card but have tried making any payments yet?
Yep made a payment too COOP - £7.64
Android pay works rooted but samsung pay wont.

Says alot about Samsung.
If google doesnt see it as a security risk, i dont see why Samsung has to check for Knox trip lol
I thought Android Pay wasn't supposed to work on rooted devices?
I read a lot about android pay not working on rooted devices too or custom roms. Good to know that it does. I have just opened a new account with another bank purely to use it as I'm currently with santander and they don't support it yet. Once I get my new card I will try ro set it up and if I encounter any issues will hide root and unhide once set up.
Would be good to see how other rooted users get on
