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

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.

Xposed for 5.0.1

Fellow Edgers, now that we have converted to Developer Editions it's time to have some fun. One of the ways to do that is with Xposed modules. I'm still learning myself so if you enjoy a particular module please post it so we can all profit.
Thanks to the Xposed team and @arter97
To install Xposed on 5.0.1:
1. Download the Xposed installer apk from here.
2. Download the compatible unofficial framework from arter97 from here.
3. Reboot into recovery.
4. Flash the framework file.
5. Wipe cache (not sure that matters but I still do it).
6. Reboot and wait. It took about 5 minutes for mine to boot.
7. Install the APK.
8. Start grabbing modules.
9. Talk about it.
Thanks @max366 for adding the Uninstaller info. You can download here which comes from this thread. It is a good idea to download this onto your Edge before you start so that if you have issues it is easier to flash. Just boot to TWRP and Install the uninstaller

Finally found one that works Download From here Uninstalled just fine for me

I'm not the best person with this stuff, but I have rooted, unlocked, flashed Roms, have basic knowledge about it. Do you think I should go for the unlock or is it complicated and risky? Did you have any problems?

Not too many problems, see the official Bootloader Unlock for more detail. So far I'm not sure there are a lot of benefits but I imagine they will be coming now that there is an unlock method.

Ohh
Okay gotcha. I think i will try it later. How long was the process for you? Also are they any working Roms for you yet? Thanks

Okay.... Iooking for some help..
I flashed uninstaller to mess around with some other stuff then flashed the framework when I was done and wiped cache rebooted but the installer apk is telling me the framework isn't installed
Any suggestions?
Update:
Still don't know why it happened but restored a full system backup from before I was messing around and got it working again

Should we stay on stock for right now?

What should we do? For myself at this moment, I do not need root or custom roms. I have read many people recommending staying on stock for OTAs updates right now. The only reason I want TWPR is for the nandroid backups of the stock rom. Is it even possible to update stock, the OTA updates and reapply the unlock bootloader and TWPR afterwards? I know TWPR is still being working on at this moment. Also, is there even a stock rom [for FRD-AL04???] without root available through TWPR right now?
I believe I have FRD-AL04 which is the US/32 gig phone, right? Is this the correct model? Here is the link to amazon page.

Mine is the US 32gb black Honor 8 and model number is FRD-L04
Edit: Check your model number in the Settings > About Phone screen.
---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------
On whether to stay stock or not... it's up to you. I unlocked my phone, which wipes it, then installed TWRP and SuperSU for root. Kept the ROM stock. But then I realized I forgot to do OTA updates first. Doing a quick update failed because TWRP didn't know what to do. I then selected a "Full Update" in the menu of the Updater. This actually completely wiped out my unlocked bootloader, recovery and root in one swoop. So now I am back to stock it seems so I'll have to unlock and start over if I want to redo it. But I'm not sure I am going to. I started using Helium made by the team that made ClockworkMod. It isnt able to back up ALL app data, but it does get a nice chunk of it which I think will be good enough for me for now.

Stay on stock until company stops pushing out OTA updates. I do this on all my phones.

Few questions if you don't mind.
1. Are you saying that even with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery you're still able to accept the OTA?
2. How would you restore the apps&data after accepting the OTA and going throu the unlocking/rooting process over again? Does Helium handle this w/o problems?
Thanks.

well, your question is complicated... but it has many type of sollutions
1.if its the nandroid backup is the only thing you want, then try backing up via honorsuit app,,
2.you can unlock the bootloader( dont worry you still be getting updates after this)
install twrp
make a backup
and find if someone did a backup with stock recovery
grab it
restore..
now you have your backup and youl be elligable for ota
3. if theres no one done a backup of stock recovery, dont worry... you can do it
unlock bootloader
now type fastboot devices
fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
this will temperorily boot twrp and you can have your backup
and BTW, you better be on stock, because, there is no stable custom rom yet and you are nearly getting a nougat update..:good:

1. Yes, but only if you select the FULL download update in the menu of the updater (which says it's around 1.6GB). This will wipe out your unlock, TWRP and root though. At least it did for me.
2. I don't know, I didn't re-unlock it because it was going to wipe my phone again. I decided to stay stock for now using Helium backup to backup my apps, SMS, etc.

I also had this problem at first. I ended up having to switch from using their chrome add-on to installing the client for my OS (OS X in my case). So if you're using the chrome add-on try installing one of the clients instead.

Ok thanks, but I am already using the OSX app myself. Managed to get it to work just now, had to reboot and now can't get it to work again. Some say to select 'midi' instead of ptp to get it to work, but that doesn't work for me either. Seems its a timing thing and I have't worked it out yet.
Not having a cross platform backup mechanism certainly doesn't help people stay stock without root imho.

I've never run into that with stock recovery but I had that issue with clockworkmod a long time ago.
You might verify you have the correct update zip for your tablet.
Usually that error comes from the tag in the updater script being for another model.
It could also be that the zip you have isn't official and needs to be installed from non stock recovery.
If you are full stock anyways I would recommend just using the Samsung switch software to run the update instead (unless you have a reason to install a version below the latest.)

i tried installing switch and it errors saying something about side by side configuration is incorrect im on windows 7 64

Looks like the same issue found here: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Tablets/Smart-Switch-won-t-start-side-by-side-configuration-problem/td-p/50275
According to that post you need to find and install the following:

Sorry about that, it just straight worked for me when I used it last. Hopefully this helps.

I think that depends what model you have.
I'm on the Verizon P905V model so for me there is no root for 5.1.1 and the bootloader is locked so I dont have custom recovery.
if you have a model that allows custom recovery as indicated in your first post you would be better off flashing a custom rom if one is available.

quick question, i have the same verizon model p905v and been putting off updating, currently on 4.4.2, i used to have root, but no longer b/c i took an update by accident.
my main thing is the multi-window apps drawer, can you still add apps to that drawer that aren't "officially" supported for multi-window? i use this function almost 100% of the time i'm using the tablet since i use it in my car as GPS/podcast/music player. i use this app currently to help with that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xpe.app.multiwindow.commander
when i open the app, it says i don't have root, but the app still lets me add apps the the multiwindow apps drawer that weren't there by default.
is there any way you can test this out or if someone else can chime in on that, i'd appreciate that.

I tried the app you posted but without root it doesn't seem to work .
It let's you make the changes within the app but they revert when you reboot, and you have to reboot for them to go through.

Root your G7 with Magisk

Notice: before doing it, make sure your phone bootloader is unlocked or it won't work
This will require you to find a matching full ROM. To find your matching channel, go to Settings > About Phone > Software channel
Lookup the first two letters and find the matching ROM there
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/
If your phone channel is "US Retail", download RETUS (retail US)
After you have downloaded the full ROM (you should keep the full ROM in case you want to revert to stock unrooted), unzip and get boot.img. Copy the image to your phone and use Magisk to patch the image. After that, copy the output image to your host computer.
Now turn your phone off, press and hold power + volume down to enter bootloader, connect your phone to host computer, and enter
Code:
fastboot flash boot
Press space once and drag and drop the output image file to command window.
If everything goes well, restart the phone and confirm it is rooted with Magisk
Now you have rooted G7

Nice solution. Did not even need TWRP for this either.

Seems to be oversimplified. I'm sure this makes perfect sense to those that go through the root process often or at least recently.
Unfortunately I'm not one of those. Last device I rooted was about 5-6 years ago.
I'll be doing my homework on the new tools and procedures while waiting for a more detailed step-by-step guide.
Thank you for your efforts and at least I know that root is possible.

Please can you guys make the steps easy to understand...some people here are new in this method.... Thanks

I was able to unlock mine from amazon, it was XT1962-1 and said software variant amz and software channel amazon. For root I did have to flash with stock rom. The steps I took are listed in moto g7 questions thread. Look for amazon in the title.

I just picked up a G7 to play with today.
@mingkee I'm assuming these are similar to the Pixel devices when an OTA is sent we can just reflash the Stock boot.img and then take the OTA and re-root using the same methodology above?

Boot.img should match ROM version or you may have trouble booting.
New OTA has been released for US, but it's recommended to wait for updated full ROM in order to regain root.

Yeah. I copied the patch boot to my computer and flashed with adb.

My software channel is "reteu2" and the software version is PPW29.98-28.
Under river/official/RETEU/ I cannot find a suitable software version. Is my version not available there?
