Google pay error

Running stock ROM not rooted, getting this error? .. bootloader is unlocked though

Google has Google pay check for an unlocked bootloader. If you are unlocked it will fail, you do not have to be rooted just bootloader unlocked for Safteynet to fail. You might as well install Magisk and let it hide that you are unlocked and rooted if you wish to use Google Pay. If you do not want to root, then just relock the bootloader, JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE STOCK RECOVERY AND NO CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED. Otherwise you will brick your device. Also, be aware that relocking your bootloader will wipe all internal data off the phone so backup any photos, files, anything of importance before relocking bootloader.

Strange... on my OP 6 with unlocked bootloader and Magisk root, Google Pay runs fine. And even Magisk Hide was not enabled for Google Pay (now it is).

What are you talking about? I've been using Magisk with passing safetynet since it came out a couple years ago. I just used Google Pay times today with no issues.
The issue is Google will fail Safetynet if you just have an unlocked bootloader and no magisk installed to pass the safetynet checks.

please dont give users the wrong impression
Magisk DOES hide it.
i have an unlocked bootloader, TWRP, MAGISK, and a custom kernel installed
and ive been using google pay for the past week without issues.

Why would I give users wrong impression? It's happening to me!!! Just because it doesn't happen to you or others then it cannot be true?
I've also an unlocked bootloader, TWRP and Magisk installed and Magisk is not hiding specific apps. Simple as that.

Then Magisk must not be installed properly. You must have done something wrong is all I can think of. I use Google pay 2-5 times a day without issue and on the OnePlus 6 since launch, zero issues.

Done that, but made no difference. Just reading on another thread that it appears to be an issue for many.

Magisk Hide works fine out of the box (no alterations) with Google Pay for me.
Historically, when it fails it's because Magisk is out of date.
hallo dare, if you want help, post your Magisk Manager's landing page, then another of your test results. Past that, you should head over to the Magisk XDA thread.
Edit:
I guess I forgot to mention I am on the BETA channel - so not exactly without alteration.

Thanks Orito,
Yeah I'll do just that. Can you please post the magisk you flashed and I'll try it please.
I flashed the 16.4.

I'm running 16.42. In Magisk.

Bootloader Lock after root [URGENT HELP NEEDED]

I have a rooted OnePlus 7 Pro running OOS 10.0.1 rooted with Magisk but everything is very glitchy and I probably did something wrong. WiFi doesn’t work, boot slot b is non functional, and I’m just done with root. I need help. How do I return COMPLETELY TO STOCK, and lock the bootloader and unroot without tripping safety net or bricking? OnePlus support said they could do nothing. Every post on XDA advises to never relock, but I don’t know what else to do. I’m new to this stuff. Thank you for your time.

If you manually flashed a patched boot.img, you probably just flashed in incompatible one (broken WiFi is a dead giveaway for this issue). Better to just boot TWRP, flash Magisk and let Magisk patch the boot.img.

Cyberpunk 2077 Phone with OxygenOS

Cyberpunk 2077 phone arrived today. It appears the exporter had flashed a OxygenOS (Global/KB05AA) ROM on the phone, without the goodies in-tact (boot animation/live wallpapers/etc.). Performing an OTA update through the settings menu results in the phone being stuck at boot animation. On reboot, the boot animation changes from the stock Oneplus animation, to the cyberpunk one (which is stuck).
I have resolved this by performing a factory reset through recovery mode, which puts me back on the previous OOS version. However, it does not appear to be possible to update in the phone's current state. I was curious if others had experienced this, and what the best approach would be to either restore the original Cyberpunk H2OS, or continue using stock OxygenOS. OTA updates are preferable. Happy to share any of the goodies.
Solution:
Restored the phone back to its original state, with HydrogenOS and Cyberpunk assets - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=84016539&postcount=12
Still trying to get Google Apps/Services.

Cyberpunk version
Hello.
I experienced bootloop when trying to update with 11.0.4.5KB05AA. Meaning, could not go through to update unless switching back to Hydrogen stock or another build Oxygen os based on EU or India.
No local upgrade inside the current when looking at the system update. No such option. Also, when on stock recovery, could not reach internal storage as to flash other compatible rom.
Technically, tried to resolve but not feel confident to pursue despite thinking of need to unlock the bootloader and etc...
What a hassle!

I spoke with a Oneplus support member earlier, but this is supposedly a confirmed issue and they will be pushing an update. Unsure if they misunderstood, or it's standard for them to support non-supported devices running Oxygen. In the mean time I have restored/left the phone on the original KB05AA that it came with.

I've done that, both before and after MSM Download, as well as after OTA update. Still results in the Cyberpunk boot loop. Supposedly the MSM tool has a boot.img, which leaves the question why the Cyberpunk animation is still there.

I managed to get to 11.0.4.5 by using the MSM download tool here:

OTA update to 11.0.5.6 still results in a boot loop, with the original cyberpunk animation. I'll be trying to use the HydrogenOS MSM Download, to see if that has different results.

I ended up changing over to HydrogenOS. Will be rooting it and flashing Google Apps.
From my understanding, there is confliction with the OTA updates for OxygenOS - since this is a different phone.

Question How to relock bootloader?

I root my phone before and I found out the most of the app I used doesnt work with rooted phone. I did flashed the original firmware but I am always getting an error prompt every time I restart my phone or turning my phone off. I also found out that all my banking apps doesnt work if the bootloader is open.
So, I am hoping if by any chance I can have my bootloader relocked?

You can't change your mind later. Are you sure you can't use one of the safetynet fixes to use the apps?
Beyond that, I believe the locking command was never found. There was a post stating the ones for the ROG 3 didn't work, but I'm not sure if that was ever resolved.

You can make your banking apps work with magisk hide - that's an option to hide your root state for certain selected apps.

From where I am at its not the root state that's causing the issue, my phone is not rooted at the moment its running on stock ROG5 firmware the latest one still it doesn't work. Its the unlocked boot loader that's causing the issue.

You're correct about Safetynet fixes and this device. Some (or all?) apps seem to be able to detect the open bootloader on ROG 5 somehow if they want, even if you get a visual pass on Safetynet with fixes. Don't know how and not sure if there are fixes out there that may work - I didn't find one. I use another device for banking apps.

General Latest ROW march update for TB-J706F solved my Netflix Widevine L1 problem.

Only to inform that after updating the row rom with march update, my problem with Netflix not working with widevine L1 was solved.
Before the update I had to install an old Netflix version (7.8) in order to work in full hd.

Great news!
thank you

Good news! May try my luck flashing this on my Chinese J706F in the near term.

Full HD is not working anymore in any version and this OTA (220312) does not contain any fix for Netflix, according to Lenovo technicians.
You are only seeing L1 and it's the same I can see with my tablet not updated but if you try to play test patterns you will see that definition played is 960x540.
We need to wait for the next OTA for a fix.
Is there still the "join Lenovo experience program" notification everytime tablet is restarted with this OTA?

I'm on TB-J706F_S210002_201015_ROW with bootloader unlocked + rooted, when trying to update to last OTA it just says "ota package installation failed", any solution?

It is not showing since I made de update, but it comes with a new app called Tablet Center.

A bit off topic but I'd suggest everyone concerned with privacy to install NetGuard
It works kind of like a firewall without having root using a local VPN.
I am using it with whitelist so only apps and services I choose can access internet.
Not as powerful as AFWall+ but best alternative without root.

OTA updates are not going to work if the system is modified, sometimes just unlocking bootloader will stop them I am not sure what's the case for this tablet.
I think the quicker way for you to update is to download the full ROM, make a backup of apps and data with something like Migrate, flash new ROM, restore apps.

With bootloader unlocked no.
With bootloader locked Widevine is L1 but the problem with Netflix not playing Full hd it's not solved yet.
They are testing the fix and OTA update should have been released end of March but has been delayed.

Nope, bootloader locked is a guarantee that nothing has been changed so it wouldn't make much sense.
I always unlock and root my phones but for this tablet I am still holding, what do you need root for?
NetGuard works sufficiently well as a Firewall but sure backups suck without root.

I see!
My phone is an iphone jailbroken, so it would be sad if I would not be able to mess with android too adblocking is one of many examples ! hadn’t checked what magisk permits but I assume it’s similar to Cydia in a way

Ad blocking works with NetGuard, but if you want to have fun messing around (I totally understand the feeling) I would suggest to:
Unroot and lock bootloader again
Make a full backup with QFIL or edl
Unlock again and install a GSI rom
Have fun

BTW I never had an iphone but for what I remember Cydia just let you install software that is not in the app store, you can do that with Android without any effort.
Magisk is totally another level of personalization at system level.

Well Cydia is like Magisk then, you can customize whatever you want, like adding live weather particles on your homescreen, replace the phone app ui, put a cool live equalizer effect when a music plays on your lockscreen/homescreen/control center... anything!

if anyone needs a guide to get bootloader+twrp+root without having a headache (i haven't been able to found latest update rom file online so I dumped boot.rom myself) :
0. Dowload , unzip and rename img file to twrp.img https://www.mediafire.com/file/wdpxfr5t2z4mrye/TWRP-3.4.2B-1208-LENOVO_TBJ706F.zip/file
1. Enable OEM unlock in developers settings
2. Reboot in bootloader (adb reboot bootloader)
3. In bootloader enter :
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
and answer yes when you're ready
WARNING: UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE!!!!!
4. Run LMSA/RSA rescue to update your ROM as well as grab boot to patch
5. Do initial setup. DO NOT RESTORE
6. Install Magisk
7. Enter fastboot and enter :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
8. Reboot to TWRP (Vol up + Vol down + Power)
9. Get in shell (adb shell) and enter dd if="/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b" of="/sdcard/boot.img"
12. Reboot and open Magisk, hit Install and select your boot.img freshly dumped
13. Transfer patched img to your pc and rename it to patched_boot.img
14. Go back to fastboot, enter :
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
15. Reboot and add riru and safety net fix on Magisk (you have to reboot 2-3 times)
16. Run safety net check and it should pass. If not, enable Magisk Hide and try again
17. Wipe Play Store and Google Play Services and reboot
18. Restore and add app onto hide list if the app detected root
Troubleshoot :
- TWRP will ask for a password if your device has pin/pattern to unlock, disable it to get access to user data
- wtf why my touch screen is glitched after going to TWRP? idk it's odd but just reboot and it'll be fixed
- Play store not installing apps? Format your SD card to external storage
- Can't install Netflix and other apps claiming to be uncompatible ? add play store in magisk hide then clear play store & google play services cache/data

Great, I was looking for a guide like this for rooting since I may do it later on with my p11 pro, thanks!
