Any UK users got Android Pay to work?

I'm unable to use Android Pay - I'm not rooted, the boot loader is RELOCKED but when I try and add my card I get the dreaded "Google is unable to verify that your device or software running on it is Android compatible" error.
So, I was wondering, is it the fact that I did previous unlock my boot loader or something else stopping me.
BTW, Vendor: hw Country: eu, running C432B170.
Cheers.

No joy either
Same problem here. Imported mine and have done nothing but update to latest version of official roms (tried a couple of different ones today as well) and I get the same error. No rooting, purposely held off doing so so I could try Android Pay. SafetyNet Helper says the "CTS profile match" is false. My wild stab in the dark is that it is something to do it with it being identified as an international handset or handset from a non-Android pay supported country.
Had a web chat with an Android Pay helpdesk monkey and they had me reboot and reinstall a few times. They've also had me send some screenshots but I'm not holding out much hope for a useful reply.

CTS. Just double checked.

Maybe it's the same thing as CSC for Samsung phones.
In case, this might represent the target market for that phone, and that market might not yet be allowed to use Android Pay.

I'm using the single SIM version, NXT-L09, I managed to add my card but when I tried to pay for something in store I got the unable to verify.... message pop up on screen.
It also fails the CTS profile match in Safetynet helper

Android Pay worked for me today
I gave safetynet helper another try and this time it said my device passed. Re added my card to it and then used it on a London bus.
Using a Mate 8 NXT-L09C636B170

I too am able to use Android Pay. It started working for me last Thursday. While I had an open support ticket with the Android Pay help desk I periodically checked to see if it had started working. Eventually it did. I was able to add cards, SafetyNet Helper passed it's check and I was able to make payments. Result.
The same day, Android Pay help desk got back to me regarding my support ticket (there had been some backwards and forwards with logs, screenshots and the like). They concluded that Android Pay would not work because my phone was rooted. It isn't and has never has been. They had me send screenshots of multiple root checkers that displayed that the phone was not rooted *before* they came to this conclusion. I guess they just wanted the ticket closed and that was the most convenient excuse.
I've put it down to enough people reporting handsets not working that the Google added more phones to the "approved list" and help desks don't know what they are talking about.
My build number is NXT-L29C636B180

Hm.. Well this was interesting to read. Thanks for the updates saying that Android Pay does in fact (hopefully) work! I'm going to to get the L29 International dual SIM version soon so I was curious... I'll update when I get it and test it out

Mine still doesn't work - I then tried upgrading to B320 and I can't even add a card now whereas before I did eventually allow me to add a card. I'm cheesed off with it. Bootloader Locked no root and no Android Pay on a L29C432B320

I've downgraded to B170 and now have Android Pay working.
The high level process was:
All done via the help of SRK Tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/development/tool-srk-tool-huawei-t3369797
1) Unlock Boot Loader
2) Install Custom Recovery
3) Root Phone
4) Change to oeminfo and custom.bin eu (c432) - Even though I already was
5) Copy Full Update.app for C432B153 to dload folder
6) Flash stock recovery
7) Boot recovery and allow update to install
8) Factory Reset
9) Copy Update.app for C432B170 to dload folder
10) Boot recovery and allow update to install
I'm not sure how but following this process (although I've listed the steps from memory and not in front of my Laptop I did this on) I ended up with a Bootload LOCKED C432B170 and Android Pay works. I've not - nor will I update to and EMUI 4.1 version until they are released as OTA updates that my phone asks me to install

Android Pay was working fine on B103, I've upgraded to B321 via dload and now got pop up info that my device is incompatible with android pay. Any ideas?

Just one question
Hi,
Which recovery should I flash? the one for EMUI 4.1 or 4.0?
thanks

I believe Android Pay will not work with EMUI 4.1. I wish we were warned about this before we were allowed to flash to 320 or 321. No warning with the update links. Sucks!

Old firmware?

Hi all. Today I purchased an Honor 6x. I am in the UK. The phone has been on all day and I have been tapping the update button like crazy. It seems that I am stuck on EMUI 4.1.3 and Android Marshmallow. Should there be a Nougat update in the UK for this phone? Thanks in advance

Ah thanks both. I've just had a look at that site and firmware finder. As there doesn't seem to be an OTA update heading my way I might give firmware finder a bash. Many thanks.

No, it doesn't work at 100%, often users detect problems of various types after using FF here on XDA, this because it can download even packages that not always match your phone variant...

Updates should be already came out if I'm not wrong, try to force the update by clicking on system uodaye -> 3 dots on the upper right corner -> down latest update. If nothing is found, try to write to Huawei and ask about the most recent update for your build

I have sent Huawei an email requesting information with regards to an update. Obviously I'll get no reply being the weekend so I have been sat here looking at firmware finder. So close to using it. From what I understand it won't void the warranty of the phone if I update using firmware finder. What if the update doesn't work can I revert back to the original version. What if the update bricks the phone? Is that easy to fix?
TIA

The rollback packages are available only for a limited amount of models at the moment (and i think forever, if Huawei wouldn't upload other packages as they've decided to do) so it could be a pain without a proper TWRP backup. For unbricking, there are some methods for doing that and it could be easy like it couldn't be, it just depends by the problem that could occur.

Ah thanks RedSkull. I might try and kerb my eagerness and see if I get a response from Huawei. This week's a bit busy so probably not the time to try anything risky.

Soft brick? Boot-loop after trying to update wrong firmware

Hello.
I've read through the forums but am still quite unsure if i can restore my honor 6x from soft brick. It boots up but i get stuck in rescue mode if i have it charged Or it will just boot-loop if its not plugged in.
Im unable to use the DLOAD method. If i enter fastboot and use the three button method. I get put to the rescue screen. However i may be using the wrong firnware? Possibly.
Its a China version. PE-UL00 given to me from a friend, he said he had restored it to factory settings. So i wanted to upgrade the android kit kat to lollipop version. It was running emui 3. Kitkat 4.42. I believe updated the wrong firmware file through the local update method I download from firmware finder.
Basically from what ive read through the forums would i need to unlock the bootloader and flash stock firmware? . I have the information to acquire the bootloader key i believe and. I have downloaded honor multi tool and huawei multi tool, as well as adb drivers
I get confused as to which stock rom or. Firmware i should download or use. And i cant access the phone to see the build number. All i know is that it's. A China version. PINE-UL00. HONOR 6X. I do remember seeing
UL00_V100R001CHNC00B200 or similar when i was able to access the phone. But it also had custom at the bottom so i wasn't sure if it was a custom rom.
Any suggestions for a noob. Thankyou.

I downloaded dc unlocker, but it doesn't support the boot loader id for PE-UL00 honor 6x. Im still waiting on huawei for the bootloader code. I think k have to log in for 14 days consecutively? I keep getting that message when I try to unlock.
Also the firmware I tried to update it was PE-UL00C00361 OTA-MF from firmware finder.

I downloaded dc phoenix unlocker. Found the correct stock firmware to the best of my knowledge and the phone back to normal. After I was able to update to marshmallow through system updates.
Thank you anyway

I need to rollback (Honor 8), HELP!

I have a seemingly stupid but still annoying problem. As many of you know Android 8 + EMUI 8 came out this summer and I have updated my Honor8. Everything works well, even better (especially with regard to the battery) apart from a problem, quite annoying. I have seen that everyone around complains about the same problem, so it is clear that both a build bug and not a local problem.
Basically ... the bluetooth link with the multimedia system of my car doesn't work as it should, while it worked well with the 7.0.
Tracknames, music infos disappears, sometimes it connects regularly, starting the music, sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the music passes from the car speakers to smartphone (!!)... in short, manage the music in the car It has become a big problem!
I tried all possible options; reset pairing, reset bluetooth, clear cache, activate the developer options to control some low-level aspects of bluetooth, and finally installed Bluetooth Auto Connect which also has several advanced options. Nothing works. In the meantime an update of 8.0 has been released (mine is the buiold 521). The update came out in September ... maybe (MAYBE) this update fixes all bluetooth issues (but i don't have any detailed info about). Until today I have not received any updates and normally I check new version regularly every day. At this point I decided to return to Nougat!
And here the adventure begins!
I CANNOT IN ANY WAY do the downgrade.
What I tried:
- through HiSuite. The "back to previous version" option appears random (rarely); normally the program tells me "the system is up to date". Once appeared I tried to run the procedure, but after the decompression it gives me an error "error updating".
- by standard Rollback procedure. Using a microSD and putting the full version of Nougate in the dload folder. The installation starts but stops almost immediately with the same "update cannot be applied" error.
At this point I am desperate. I cannot update Oreo, I can't go back to Nougat and meanwhile the bluetooth still doesn't work with my car. Remember that before Oreo, everything worked very well!
What can I do? Can you help me?
Thank you

Previous Build: don't remember. It was Nougat, and I've upgraded around the first week of September. From that day I haven't received/applied any patch, because nothing appears until now.
This morning I've tried again with HiSuite. As usual it says I'm running the latest version and it doesn't offer any downgrade option .

The more you know...

Finally I've decide to try updating to 8.0.0.562. After a month of tries, fails (damn Huawei and his stupid update system), errors and a lot of other stupid things, I was finally able to update my Honor hoping the latest version will fix all the problems. It was a enormous waste of time (searching around internet)... but in the end I found a method described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/p20-pro-bricked-t3868085#4And if you go ahead you should find the correct firmware link (on a Russian site). Although, IMHO, failing with the classic method was due to the impossibility or some bugs in the update system, to unpack the update files on sdcard. So the solution seems to be to leave both the zip and the unpacked folder.The problems with bluetooth remain, but I hope that now there is not to be crazy applying next updates. ATTENTION: the method above is NOT valid for rollback! If you try, you'll brick your Honor.
And finally I've taken an important decision... for me this is the last Huawei/honor device. Next time I'll go to another brand, with a serious update system.

Unlock bootloader confusion

Hey Guys,
I have been googling for a while now and I seem to constantly come across conflicting and at times worrying posts which has very much left me stuck right were I am. I just recently purchased a Mate 9 in the hope I would be able to, like all my previous mobiles install a custom rom and tweak it to my specific needs. This however hasn't been the case.
Firmware:
System 8.0.0.046
Dataver MHA-L09 8.0.0.371(C34)
Things that have been tried:
1. No I didn't get a boot unlocker code from the Huawei
2. Yes I have contacted them personally via two different channels and both returned with a we are happy to give it to you, that's not an issue, but this code doesn't exist anymore.
3. DC-Unlock tool didn't detect my mobile in manufacture mode, in which I found another forum post stating to use HCU 3.22 client instead which worked to the point of detecting my mobile, but told me that the current security patch not supported.
4. Contacting DC-Unlock, told me there is no ETA on getting this patch level to work
5. I have read people downgrading to a previous version, unlocking and then installed the custom rom via HiSuite, this doesn't give me that option.
6. I have read people downgrading to a previous version, unlocking and then installed the custom rom via firmware finder.
6.1 Issues with this is that I seen someone claim to upgrade to version 8.0.0.3.75, which is higher then mine, which enabled the rollback feature, is this correct?
6.2 Issues with this is that I have read that gpu turbo has been enabled and many have warned that rolling back to a pre-gpu turbo enabled firmware will brick you mobile and would result in a motherboard needing to be replaced for nearly the cost of the mobile itself.
I am tempted to try another site which I can't remember the name of, which if you pay considerably more then DC-Unlock. at least if they can't get the code, would be refunded. but I think that site is down now as I feel they were playing on people who didn't know how to have done it for free via the Huawei site back in 2018.
So I want to know is there a safe way to unlock my bootloader I think my only option is option 6 but just want more details from others who have done it this way before, or have I pretty much exhausted all my option and just bite the bullet and upgrade to 9.0.1.187 and possibly further through the OTA update process and just enjoy the mobile for what it is and it's limitations?
Thanks again.

You can try the spoofing method here on xda I updated from 8 to 9 with that, as long as firmware finder says your imei is approved

Thanks for that, I can already upgrade to 9, my system updates app is just waiting for me to accept. The issue is that I don't want to go forward. I really want to go backwards, so I can unlock my bootloader first. I'm already at the stage where I have tried most if not all the safe ways to unlocking my bootloader, but with my currently installed android version I can't. The only way forward for me it seems is the firmware finder app and SD force flash back to EMUI 5 aka Android 7 to use DC-Unlocker to unlock it first, then that gives me the freedom of installing the official Android 9 or openkirin.
I just worried as some people have stated that if you attempt a downgrade after a specific point, something about GPU turbo being enabled in later firmwares, which will brick your mobile.
I just want to hear from others who have done this successfully or if it's not possible in my case.
