Galaxy S5, rooted - Android Pay blocked. What is the latest state of play on workarounds for this?
According to this, android pay will not work on rooted phones
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-pay-no-longer-working-with-systemless-root/
mine is NOT rooted app starts its when adding the card its states it does not recognize if the device is supported
Mine allows me to confirm my card details then says that the authorisation has failed as "Google does not accept cards from all us territories" ?? (Non-rooted)
ok gonna take a shot in the dark with this one, i recon that maybe you must have the banking app installed from participating banks maybe?

However, this information seems to be about 4 months old.; also, the article mentions a workaround. My question was really aimed at finding out whether there might be any more recent developments of use to UK users, as Android Pay only just launched here.

In my chineese version this is not bind with any operator. Thus, i can install playstore. And clearly download the apps from playstor. But issue is syncing is not working. Sorry if i'm not using any appropriate word to make u understand.
Can't find a single mention of this phone on XDA (VFD 900). I know it's only been out a couple of weeks, but surely I can't be the first to get one?
http://www.gsmarena.com/vodafone_smart_platinum_7-8154.php
I picked one up today, and I have to say I'm very impressed. I know most will turn up their noses because full price is about the same as the OPO 3, but on contract I got it for free (which is not possible with OnePlus).
I know nothing about development, so I can't do anything to push that forward, but I'm hoping one of the devs on here gets their hands on it, if only to get root working (although Cm based ROMs would be very welcome!).
Anyone else got one yet? Opinions?
Hi!
You're not the only owner this phone! I have one of this too.
I'm satisfied with this stuff, I think it's responsive, and really fast.
But I'm rather waiting for the BootLoader unlock method, cwm, sim unlock, maybe custom rom, etc. !
I found only one description about root 'til now, but I've not tried it yet. (On the sadrdoid.com)
I figured out, to enter recovery mode you've just press the Volume-UP + Power button for a while.
These are my only informations yet.

Vodafone smart Platinum 7 is rebranded ALCATEL ONE TOUCH IDOL 4S, also named OT_VFD 900.
here are the source codes for the kernel, may the fun begins.

Yeah, I found that too, but what can I do with it? Or a dev can use it?
Exactly I tried to make a backup from the stock rom, but I can't communicate with the phone in fastboot mode! I don't know why?!
Adb can restart the phone in bootloader mode, but after that, the "fastboot devices" command don't see the phone. Is it maybe a driver problem?
try to use "fastboot - i 0x1bbb devices"

and the source is more likely for a dev who can build a custom kernel.

Thank you so much! It's working! I'd have never found out it! :laugh:
Maybe "fastboot - i 0x1bbb boot twrp.img" could work for use a twrp recovery without flash the stock recovery and make a backup?
What do yout think?
of course it will work, but you dont have the TWRP recovery. you need the partition table to be able to build the twrp.

Oh, and how can i get the partition table and build the twrp?
Or should I prefer to wait until someone make that?
it is not so easy. you have to have some skills.
But you have all what it takes. Kernel source, the device only a propper DEV is missing.
You can look when someone start the IDOL 4 thread, since the VODAFONE is rebranded IDOL 4. So most likely the root method and the TWRP can be compatible.
Maybe @Unjustified Dev can help, because hes very skille dand made the TWRP for IDOL3. I mentioned him, so maybe he can post some advice.

I understand, thank you! I'll send a message for him!
If you compare hardware of the idol 4 and platinum 7 there is a lot of similarities but also a few differences. Just looking at the bands you can see there are a few kernel changes . There is also some hardware changes .

Hi everyone,
I'm planning to buy an Axon 7, and my second option was the Idol 4S, but it seems that is a little hard to get it and is really expensive here in Europe when comparing with the Smart Platinum 7, is almost the same phone and fortunately I'm with Vodafone.
I would like to know how you guys are doing with the phone, I mean, I'm just a normal user, not interested anymore in development/rooting because Android for me is doing really good since Lollipop. Sometimes I play Hearthstone, CSR2 and Pokemon Go, and use the classical mail and chat stuff.
I would like to know about the general experiences you have with the phone, the camera, the performance., the battery, etc. I have read every single review out there, I even watched a 37 min review and everything seems pretty positive, but I have seen there are some differences as well with the Idol 4S, like the reversible screen, how speakers are arranged (even when both are stereo), tap to wake, boom key, etc.
Besides the good things that we already know about the phone, I would also know the bad parts: I know that fingerprint sensor is not so quick and that the back part of the phone is a finger magnet; would be nice for me to know from other users if there is something else that annoys you or not so good about the phone.
If you could write briefly about what I'm asking, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Going to try these now and will report back
since you have to adress the port to comunicate with the device by adding "-i 0x1bbb" to the fastboot command, and this is missing in all the root and flash twrp guides, i think this will not work at all.

Good news for Huawei P9 owners, we are giving some of you the chance to help us test out EMUI 5 and Android N on your Huawei P9.
Sounds great yeah? Just remember this is going to be pre-release software, things may be broken, you may end up struggling to use your phone, but that's all good we want you to help us find & squash the bugs.
So what do you need to do to get the new stuff on your phone? Well that is easy, you install an app, enroll on the project and then towards the end of the month we will be pushing out the OTA to those that have had their applications approved (First 200).
So what do you need?
- An open market (unlocked) version of Huawei P9 (Eva-L09)
- To be based in the UK.
- To have an active SIM card in your phone.
- To be on build number C432B166 (Latest UK open market firmware)
- It cannot be bootloader unlocked, it cannot have a custom recovery or be rooted to receive the OTA.
You can get the APK for the BETA app & the guidelines for how to install and enrol from here (sorry we can't post links yet.....) "h t t p://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=91768&version=358232&siteCode=uk"
Once downloaded install it on your phone, when you run the app on your phone you will be prompted to either log into an existing Huawei ID account (the one you use to download EMUI themes will do) or to create a new one, once done you can accept the terms
To enroll on the BETA test you will need to be on build number C432B166 (for UK), after your enrollment and approval, an OTA to update UK Huawei P9 from C432B166-> C432B182 will be prompted. Once you are on C432B182, you will get the N version on Beta release.
Numbers are limited, when we hit the limit of enrolled users that is it. This is a project to help find bugs and issues before the general rollout of future updates for the Huawei P9. It is not a general public rollout.
If you have problems either installing the APK, signing into Huawei ID or enrolling on the BETA please leave the following details in the email below and we will get back to you.
Email: [email protected]
Name:
Country you are using the phone in:
Current Build Number:
Model Number:
Issue:
We'll help our colleagues out here and post the URL for the apk for the BETA test app.

Hello!
What about p9 lite?
@Huawei UK , please check why the BETA app can't be reinstalled after a factory reset
I'm on B170 will that be a factor?

I have it on very good authority they are testing a solution and this should be made public soon (assuming the testing goes ok)

I cannot use my fingerprint to unlock anymore....everytime I use gesture to lock screen. after using fingerprint to unlock it always asks for password.
Said "Device administrator locked device"
How do I turn this off? Is it kind of security on Android N?
PS. Using Nova Launcher and already tried using most of screen lock apps in the store.

Yes, google is locked when I download Google play it simply doesnt work and it says that phone does not support it. As the phone is from China I assume it is locked for Googlle apps.
Go over to www.apkmirror.com and download and install Google Play Services version 11.0.5 (448 - xx xx xx) and Google Play Store (7.8. 16l). Install Google Play Services first once installed then install Google Play Store. Reboot device to take effect.
