Computerfreek274_Turbopop_Android_Pay 1.1 (SU4TL-44) 11/7/2015 - Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development

Computerfreek274 Turbopop Android Pay​
11/07/2015 Update This Android pay build has been updated to the newest tweaks it is running clean and wifi tether is working great. Android pay is also working 100% I just tested it at 3 stores today. Please remember this IMG has no root! however it is clean of junk and tweaked for speed with WIFI tether. For most users looking to root it was just to get wifi tether for the unlimited users. This rom is great if you like an clean stock android phone with working android pay and wifi tether.​
Please Read​This is an un-rooted Img to Support for android pay.​This system image Is for users looking for a tweaked system better battery life and boosted audio and removed bloatware and Android Pay!​
So if you looking to still have a tweaked and clean phone but still you like to use android pay then this img is for you. Google android pay is checking for root all the time and unlocked boot loaders. So we can only hope to get an patched ver of android pay one day for rooted phones. So for now I am going to work on this IMG it will be lean and clean with some great tweaks and boosted audio.

Help And Support​
Please Backup data! Photos and stuff you need just in case! I am not to be help responsible for data loss or if your phone dies.
This IMG has been tested on 4 phones today 2 of them needed a full wipe to get it it boot so please keep this in mine that you may have to do a full data wipe.​
Please read the readme file to upgrade your modem and kernel to the newest ver.
Preparing to install this img when coming from an img with root xposed stuff like this. 1. Uninstall xposed and any mods reboot when done. Step 2 Flash via mofo let it try and boot if it hangs on the moto screen. Hold down power enter recovery and wipe cache and reboot. 3. Download android pay and update android services VIA google market setup android pay update remove cards it will not matter at this point. Just remember android pay only supports some cards and the ones you already have on your account. Also you now have to add you google wallet credit card to android pay as wallet and android pay are split up now.
If you can not boot no matter what you do and you forgot to backup your data then flash back the img you where on and boot BACK UP YOU DATA! Then start over with step 1. and when you get to step 2. Wipe cache and data.

Yeah supported card and cards that you already had on your account also you google wallet card can be added. Wifi tether will also still work for users that need this. Just remember there will be no root so what i add is what you get.

Would you be willing to drop in the latest AdAway host file, and then I'm personally at 98% of why I run root on my phone?
Thanks again for all the hard work!!!

For me it is easy as soon as I am done testing and tweaking this build I will be back on my rooted 493 img. I can always pull out a credit card to pay for somthing not like any of us walk around with your phone only and not you real wallet.

Help and Support Update
For android Pay I will post updates on my website and on XDA and remember android pay is an unrooted tweaked img with ad blocking and more.
On my website Computerfreek.com Now has updated help and support how to setup stuff like adaway,Boot anamation, Dpi and more.
I will also be posting Pre-Release images there days before there on XDA for testing. There will also be images some custom images that will not ever be listed on here on XDA. So please check out the site it is still a work in progress but it is getting there. As of right now I did not get custom IMG listed and the newest ver is still 1.6 and it is listed below. I hope to clean up OP this week with some of the same info found on my website. I maybe doing an order page where you can order an custom IMG for a fee with 3 free Updates per IMG.

I have tried everything and cannot get audio to work at all. Is anyone else having this issue or know of a fix?

Anybody using this ROM verify it still works since the security net update?

Right. You have to pull out SOMETHING -- whether your phone or your credit card. It's the same action. Using the phone is not really any easier.
And in the real world, no one leaves the house without their wallet. Occasionally going to work, I have left my phone at the house, but I've never left my wallet.

Argghhh. I wish people would STOP digging up old threads. STOP IT. THIS is from September 2015! NOTHING from back then for the XT1254 is relevant for now. And Safety Net has been updated many, many times since then to block people. Anything that worked over a year ago sure wouldn't work now.
However, usually it's people who won't believe you need to pay for Sunshine to unlock their XT1254 bootloader. They dig up year old threads to ask the same question over and over like they are going to get a different answer.

Wow, you are really upset there buddy. Sorry that it bothers you. But to me, this is relevant. I have mofo root not sunshine, and i dont see the point in going through all the effort of sunshine and new roms, when moforoot works perfect. Furthermore i surely might be wrong, but i didn't see a lollipop or marshmallow ROM with these features (tweaked, tether, android pay).
I was simply asking if there was anyone who know how to get the audio working with this ROM. If you don't know, then just don't reply. What's the point in posting just to complain?

If you are still on Moforoot (with Kitakat 4.4.4 base installing a "Lollipop" image), you are 1 in a million. You're a year behind all the dev work.
And the ROM will NOT work with Android Pay -- due to all the Android Pay/Safety Net updates the past year. SafetyNet will detect Moforoot. It's obsolete, out of date ROM that will no longer work.

Getting Android Pay to work on a modified device is a constant cat and mouse game. A few workarounds were found and promptly patched by Google in Android Pay/Google Play Services/ Google App updates. If you use it frequently, unlocking is a bad idea. Android Pay might still work on an unlocked device, but any change that you make to any system files will cause it to not work, so there's no point in unlocking.
Even if you managed to root without unlocking (via moforoot or through the terrible kingroot method), you would break Android Pay because root is one of the first things that it looks for, and none of the apps/xposed modules designed to fool it are successful at doing so.

It isn't a miracle..
If this is a very stock ROM it should still make it past safety net.

It won't. Please let the year old thread die. It was dead for a reason.
This was back 6 months ago and Safetynet has been updated several times since then.

Towelroot should work. It works on the standard S5 and AT&T S5 active as well as Verizon variants.

Go to device info in settings and look at the Kernel version. What date is listed?
**EDIT...NM, I see the kernel date listed in dallas532's sig as July 11. Towelroot will not work with Kernel dated after June 3rd.
You can put in a request to CF here to create a working CF Auto Root for your device. Just be sure to post the recovery.img file as listed in the OP if/when the source code is available.

I returned mine on launch day for a regular gold s5 because of the software differences. I tried all different ways I could think of to root and couldn't get a recovery to stick without soft bricking the phone.

I feel the same way. I knew I should have purchased the regular S5. Damn it. I guess we're stuck. If anyone hears anything please post it here. I'll do the same. Thanks !
I'd be willing to trade my regular Sprint s5 for the sport if anyone is interested. Message me.
Yes, the GS5 Sport (Sprint SM-G860P) is rootable

Good to see ya interested in this phone too, UPdownLoAD! I hope all went well with the Torque dev when I had to pop off of the grid right after rooting that (this one is A LOT easier...trust me).
I just bought this phone earlier this week and hadn't looked into its rootability. I figured that, since it is a Samsung phone on Sprint, it would have an unlocked bootloader (and it does). There are, however, zero support tools for these. This is not TowelRoot eligible due to the newer patched kernel and is not on the CF-Auto-Root list yet.
I took a little time during the LLWS today to get this thing rooted and confirmed before I go out of town on business for a week and it turned out just fine.
Solution: Simply employing the use of a custom recovery and using the "fix su binaries" and "prevent stock recovery flashing" options upon exiting after entering the recovery.
Ok, yes, there is no official release of CWM, TWRP or Philz for this device yet. I have a custom recovery that is in Chinese that I, personally, know how to decipher, but would not release it here*. Hopefully, there is an official recovery on the way or someone properly builds one in English. CWM used to have an automated recovery builder tool server-side, but I think it has been offline since March of this year. Again, I am about to head out on business soon and don't have a lot of time until on my flights to dig more into this, but wanted to give the certain thumbs up to anyone considering this phone but didn't know if it would have root.:good::good::good:
In summary: YES, the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 5 Sport (SM-G860P) on the latest OTA build (NG3) is rootable just fine.
*Please do not ask me for the recovery that I have...Google is your friend (it's only in a single public location as of right now), but I did not want to be responsible for someone grabbing it and guessing what characters mean and borking their phone.
I need help.

So I have tried to root my gs5 sport and have ran into a big problem. I think it is a big problem. My phone did not like the rooting that I tried and now is restarting over and over. I don't know what to do. Any help would be nice. Thanks

Most likely you'd need the Stock The file to Odin back to stock. But I'm not even sure those are available. Least I haven't seen anything mentioned about em.
Not sure what root method you tried, but there's been alot of talk going around for a week or so, that neither cf root, or towelroot methods don't work.
Next time (to be totally safe) it may be best to wait for a stock tar file to be available, before Taking a chance like this. Just a thought. Head to the SamMobile website and look up your devise to see if they got the Stock tar up. Still a pretty new device, so not sure if they'll be around yet. That sux tho.
Good luck!

The NG2 and NG3 tars are out. Get NG3 and prepare to wipe the entire device if you Odin the whole tar. It would be more helpful to know what you actually did (the method) versus saying "I tried to root". Since there is no automated root specific to this device yet and TowelRoot would not cause a bootloop, you likely ran something you certainly should not have (if it wasn't made for this phone model, why would you do that?) You've likely hosed up the phone/system to the point where you have to run the full tar (versus just the boot/kernel or the modem to "fix" with your user & system data in tact).
Grab the NG3 tar from sammobile or samsung-firmwares and Odin back to stock.
FYI TO ALL: everything is running smoothly after running my Titanium Backup restore from my old GS5 and pushing in Xposed modules. Also have successfully applied the hotspot tweak to my telephony.db and SD card write access. Hopefully I get some time during flights with Wi-Fi to pump out a recovery worth wide-releasing sometime this week if no one else chimes in.

I await patiently for some one to root and a custom recovery. I actually like this phone and prefer it over the regular but awesome GS5. I just wish for more support. I have rooted and customized every android phone I have gotten within a day of purchase, so it became habit and ritual. Now I sit here waiting patiently.

Indeed. Here is a link to the CF-Auto-Root download:

Just download, extract and flash the Tar with Odin using the PDA option. Let the device reboot into the temporary recovery and self-root.

Android Pay

Just wondering if anyone had any luck with the workarounds for our device? If so please post what ROM's work and which workaround worked. Also post whether the boot loader needed to be locked or not. I have been working since I found the official app last night, but So far no luck. I'm trying many custom ROMS as I don't really want another stock ROM, Hence why I am rooted. Anyway, any help would be boss! Thanks!
For me, it just has Google Play Services crashing whenever I try to add a card. This was after disabling SuperSU.

did you try stock rooted thats my next attempt after I charge phone up a little. I been reading up and it seems stock rooted with supersu removing stock or xposed rootcloak work. Just nandroid and try it out nobody says you have to use it but if that works it may give us an insight on what to target for getting it to work
Yes, so far I believe thats what I read. At this point I have read a lot. The two methods involve unchecking enable superuser in supersu and then the root cloak method via xposed. Neither have worked in every custom ROM so far. I may try CM nightlies tho.
just an fyi i tried stock for the hell of it and it worked with just unchecking supersu root option. Maybe a buildprop edit to trick it to think its a basic stock rom may work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-cyanogen-os-12-1-rooted-cleaned-t3187016
Update. I have found a mothod that works, haven't tried the "pay" part, but I have Android Pay activated and working. The above link is the a rooted ROM with some mods that works. Its CM OS 12.1 and seems pretty stable, etc.
The method I used
1 Bootloader is locked. Just so you know. But all operations will function that you need.
1 Install ROM (use the link above for details, NO GAPPS NEEDED)
2 DENY ROOT/SUPERSU installation.
3 Boot ROM as normal
4 Open SuperSU
5 Click Enable SuperSU (This disables it/Unchecks the box. You will see a prompt saying uninstalling SuperSU)
6 Reboot
7 Install Google Play Services then Android Pay (APK's found on the web, GPS is 8.1.13)
8 Open Android Pay and follow prompts to install cards
9 Open SuperSU and recheck Enable SuperSU
At this point the phone is rooted and Android Pay is set up. I tried to do another card but got the same old error "cannot verify Android bs."
My conclusions:
If the ROM has a root option under developer settings, then Android Pay will not work. This ROM does NOT have that but instead has SuperSU installed. ROMS that have both will NOT function, I tried 3 or 4 today that did not work. I imagine they need to be CM based at this time as well. I bet someone better than me will come up with a better solution. This combination works for me. If anyone needs help, PM me. Also, If anyone has anything to add, Please do! Thanks!!!

basicaly what I was saying it works on stock ONEPlus roms only it seems and you just have to deny root when adding cards. I tried to use lil while ago but it said my cards were not available yet to use with Android Pay
Just wanted to chime in with my post from another thread to consolidate threads:
I am running COS 12.1, rooted, with an unlocked bootloader. I recently upgraded to Android Pay after using Google Wallet for NFC payments for years on my old GS4 and my OnePlus One.
At first, I was unable to add my payment card due to being rooted. Easily fixed, I unrooted using SuperSU to do a full unroot and was able to add my card and complete the app setup.
The showstopper is that whenever I try to use it at a merchant, I end up with a screen that says Confirm your password - you must unlock to use Android Pay. No matter how many times I enter my password it just keeps asking over and over. I disabled the quick unlock feature under lock screen settings just in case that was the issue, but it made no difference. An ongoing support case with Google just came back with the following:
"The specific error message that you saw means that your device can't support Android Pay's advanced security. It seems that the phone manufacturer has modified the operating system to the point where it is no longer compatible with our software. You may want to use Android Pay on a different device for the most secure payments."
just as an update i re-flashed stock rom and realized using xposed and make any additional changes to the system folder causes it not to work whether I have supersu checked off or not. Now with that said i have it working fine with stock and having supersu loaded from twrp and play store nothing else. I also set up a tasker command to uncheck supersu prior to me using Android Pay. 1 click I guess I waas being lazy

I have tried disabling root and root cloak. I am on Exodus rom and it has "morph mode" where I tried both methods in Exodus mode and AOSP mode. If this helps narrow down the problem.
For me on Exodus (haven't tried any of the morph modes), the unlocked bootloader seems to be the culprit. Hopefully someone figures out a workaround.

bootloader is not the problem. Android Pay is looking for more than likely specific files in your system that are missing in AOSP or custom roms. I flashed stock and as long as I uncheck SuperSu its been working fine for me. I have added several cards over the past week

I am running a stock rooted rom I found here. I tried to do it with Calkulins rom but it failed install for me. also no xposed or anything extra in system that may not need to be there. Its been working fine like this for a week now. I just used it again last night. I turn off SuperSu prior to using just for good measure

So was I and I left them for crdroid which has a lot less issues. But I flashed stock to try out Android Pay and I have been surprisingly pleased. It will work just don't flash SuperSU but use built in version or update via TWRP option if asked after flashing rom
Does anyone have the apk for the version of Google Wallet right before the update to Android Pay? I'd like to at least have something that works.

android authority has it and if you do a google search for it you will find it. also know that you have to un-tick auto updates in Google Play. I wiped data in Google play, Google Play Services prior to installing the now outdated version. I had to do this so that when I loaded the older version it will try and update the moment you try and set it up.

PSA : Be VERY careful flashing .zips with TWRP and the new root process.

*******ALL IS FINE NEVERMIND THIS POST******
Do not use any mods unless you know what you are doing. If your phone cannot boot, there is no going back. There is no way to restore at the moment. So again do not modify the system or anything that you are unsure will work, don't end up with a paperweight.
Mods please leave this here until things are sorted out. Or until if/when we are able to restore to stock, or a custom ROM is released.
If you need help getting AdAway working, or changing emojis; feel free to ask I'm sure myself or others will help you in this thread.
Yup i wish this was started earlier lol
So is there something spexial we need to do for adaway? Already done the whole root process

I installed the dev version from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190753
Just enable system-less from preferences and you're set.
Here's a question. Can you enable multi-user on the V20 through build prop like we could on other phones? Inserting:
Fw.max_users=3
Fw.show_multiuserui=1
I installed the latest ad away from f-droid, and changed the default hosts file from /system to /data before enabling it, and it works fine.

Yes, you just need to be aware of the limitations on some of the system apps and features.

What limitations are there?
This is nothing new, though. Everyone attempting this should know full well that these are early days and using an exploit before we even have stock images to restore with is always risky. My motto is "keep it stock." Aside from ad blocking and a few other tweaks in build.prop, I keep flashing and other more serious mods to a minimum until there are methods to restore. I'm looking into seeing how TWRP handles the new tot's, but it looks like I'm going to have to cobble it together, which will take some time.
Edit: After looking around, it seems like an update of lgup is needed before any v20 firmware can be flashed, which I would bet will be on the way sometime later this month with the release of the unlocked (carrier free) variant.
So whats the scene update here for the V20? Just 1 variant is bootloader unlocked? What's the flash/root method and what models is it confirmed to work with?

Yeah. The little bit I know about it is that it flashes .tot and .kdz files. What I'm understanding is that there's a missing .dll in order to use the .tot files we have now.
Hook up with @jcadduono. He's been the point man with getting root.

That's a good question. I unlocked my bootloader and immediately disabled automatic system updates. Really curious if anyone has tried it. I know there are supposedly issues if you unlock then try to run custom firmware and then relock the bootloader (don't know why one would do that, but to each their own). I'm sure someone will tell us soon.
In the November update discussion on the XL forum, dePixel8 is reported to still work. They're expecting the next update will stop it from working.

It's time to look at ROOT
Been reading all the threads here about this before I install the update.
I know this is a repeat, but I figured I might save some people the time digging.
My Device: Pixel XL Verizon NDE63P , Unlocked Bootloader, Root SU 2.78 SR3, ElementalX 0.05, WETA Battery, Center Clock, NavBar Height 36px
My Findings: Things should be fine. WETA just verified in a reply to me that the mods still work.
Update: Kernel update went fine kept root too.
Working on Installing the OTA now. I might make a guide for this if I don't get to frustrated. Right now its almost winning.
Feel free to PM me for help or directions. If there is interest I will write it all up. I just feel like maybe I'm the n00b here and everyone else is better than me. Been out of android for about 2 years...

I'd be interested in a write up if you have time. Or even just a PM would be greatly appreciated. I tried sending a PM but apparently it's not going through. I'm currently unlocked and rooted using the same methods as you and also running EX-P-0.07 kernel. I currently have the OTA zip downloaded and ready to side load. Just wondering if I can just side load it normally without doing anything else. Or should I sideload, then install EX-P-0.07 kernel, then boot to root again? Thanks in advance.

I too would be interested in written out directions just to verify what I think I know because I'm not always right

You will have to reinstall the kernel after the OTA runs. I shut down after the OTA finished instead of booting and then installed the kernel and root again. I also had to add the weta mods again too.
I made notes for a write-up as I did it. I can send them to you when I get home later this evening.
If you could send me a copy of that also I would greatly appreciate it.

Pixel - Google Edition...

Hi everyone,
I have a the Google edition of Pixel, and have unlocked the bootloader successfully. I would like to root the device somethow, as well as get tether working. I am on Vzw's original unlimited data plan, and this phone has replaced my wife's Samsung Galaxy S3 phone on verizon. We held on to the S3 for so long as it is rooted and with the ROM we could tether using Vzw's tether and pay nothing extra.
What can I do to get back into a similar situation with this Google Pixel?
Thanks so much in advance.

Install twrp and flash magisk for root. Any root tether app should be able to treat your tether data as standard data

Haha good on you for asking cuz quite a few people have gotten close to bricking their devices using the boot-to-root method from the day the phone released lmao. A quick Google search for "twrp sailfish" will bring u to the latest version of official twrp. As far as magisk just look up magisk on XDA and the official thread will have the dl link (don't download magisk from anywhere else)
There's a Magisk "Tethering Enabler" module which I recommend you try, after you're rooted.

Hi KittRgnarok,
I have downloaded the following to my computer:
twrp-3.2.1-2-sailfish.img
twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.1.1-2.zip
Magisk-v16.0.zip
My computer is a macbook pro so I don't believe I need any additional drivers as supposedly they are already available in the Mac OS. I was able to unlock my bootloader using a terminal session & adb.
How should I now proceed?
Thanks in advance.

Correct MacBook shouldn't needed additional drivers. Put the magisk and twrp zip files on your phone. Then reboot into bootloader. From there use the command fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-2-sailfish.img which should put you into ram version of twrp. From here decrypt your device and install the twrp installer zip file. Once that's done reboot into recovery and flash magisk and you should be good to go
I finally got it figured out I have installed TWRP, as well as Majisk. I've tested root using a root tester, and now I need to see about the module that mike.s was referring to- specifically "tethering enabler".
All this stuff is totally new to me, so I am creeping along at a slow pace... lol

In magisk manager there is a downloads tab and a modules tab. Go to the downloads tab and look for tether and you'll find it

You must've been posting as I was typing my message to you. I'm just now seeing that you provided some steps. Yes, I had figured that out and got it done. Life's good now.
I am doing some searching trying to figure out tethering, that's the last piece of the equation for now... hehehe..... On the old vzw unlimited data plan and I don't want to switch over to their new plans. If I can get this going, then my better half will be super happy, and then I will look into getting me a Google Pixel (but the XL version).

Thanks so much KittyRgnarok,
You pointed me in the right direction and I really appreciate that. It worked with no problems as I tested it and all's well. I then demonstrated it to my better half and she is super happy!!
Now I will order me one as well, but I am going to get the Google Pixel XL. I see the screen is larger on the Pixel 2, but heard there's been some "screen issues"? For me the lack of a phone jack is not all that big of a deal as I never hookup a wired headset and only use the bluetooth. *Ahem* on my phone I've only used a wired headset once or twice years ago when my bluetooth messed up. Lol....
Thanks again for everything!

Glad to hear both you and her are happy with the results . As far as the pixel 2 xl a lot of the screen issues were software side but there are also issues with burn in(which I've experienced a decent amount of on the og as well) I have a friend with the pixel 2 and I highly recommend it but be aware that it is modding hell if you intend to be messing with a lot of that. As far as staying on stock rom+magisk+Xposed though it works great.

Thanks for the heads up on the Pixel 2 issues. I will probably stay with stock like on my better half's phone, and just want to root and tether. Now the burn ins, that kind of worries me. Hmmmm... decisons, decision... hehe...
To prevent burn in you can get the magisk module that hides the navbar and toggle that occasionally as that's the only place I really notice it aside from the statusbar which idk a way to hide. I've also heard inverting colours often can help prevent it

Thanks for that information. I did not realize that. And sorry for the delay in responding. I didn't get on xda yesterday as I got back home late last night. I will certainly look for that magisk module you mentioned.
Oh and by the way, I just got me a Google Pixel XL today
Now I need to work the same magic on this one. I've already got it activated at the VZW Store near where I live. *Woohoo*
