How do I hide root from the Google pay app? - General Questions and Answers

I have a pixel 3, rooted with magisk. I hid root from Google pay and Google play services through magisk but when I try and activate NFC for wireless payments it says I can't because my device is rooted. How do I bypass this and user NFC payments?
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. This is my first time using XDA so I am unfamiliar with the website

Rooted OC3 update to OG9 & Samsung Pay

I am rooted on OC3 with KNOX intact. Is there currently a way to upgrade to OG9 while keeping root and not tripping KNOX?
My main motivation is in using Samsung Pay.
With Android pay, I can uninstall superuser (unroot) and Android pay works. then if i need to do something that requires root access, i can re-install SU and do what i need. will something similar work with Samsung Pay?
will i simply be able to sideload the Samsung pay APK and Framework APK? or will i have to upgrade to OG9? is there a way to upgrade to OG9 and keep root & KNOX?
what are those of you in my same situation planning on doing?
thanks!
In the same boat. **** up the creek without a paddle.

Same as you: Stock (OC3), rooted, Knox intact.
I had successfully installed Android pay. Disabled root with SuperSU. Activated my cards. Re-enabled root. And I was able to make android pay purchases! I was a happy camper....for about 1 day.
Now every time I go to pay I get the message: "This card cannot be used right now." I have tried everything I can think of short of permanently removing root or removing SuperSU itself: different cards, disabling root, rebooting, etc
I was just in the Play Store looking at root cloaking. Has anyone had any success with non-xposed root cloaking? I was looking at the app: Rootcloak Plus / Cydia Substrate. Don't know if that would work on our devices or if that would screw up knox. Anyone know anything about it? I don't have an up-to-date backup so I'm not going to try it just yet.
Here is to hoping someone finds a solution....
do yo have a link for the samsung pay APKs? all the ones i have seen on XDA will not install.
also, did you install the framework or just the samsung pay APK?
thanks!
Samsung pay finally showed up for me on Google play. It downloaded and installed. When I open Samsung pay I get a message that says a software update is required. When I click the update button, Samsung pay closes and I get a pop up that says unfortunately Samsung pay had stopped. Will installing the Samsung pay framework fix this?
From all I've seen, you have to be on OG9 for Pay to work. You could try installing the framework as well, and see if that works. It would be installed automatically in OG9.
for me, samsung pay was more important than root. it was one of the main reasons i got the phone as i tend to forget my wallet a lot...lol. as mentioned by others, when trying to install samsung pay when rooted, it would ask to update. so i unrooted via SU and updated to OG9. as of now, samsung pay is installed and working. however, does any know if i can still get root? i read somewhere that you just have update the ping pong root app and reapply. however, i've also read that ping pong root will not work with 0G9.

There is currently no way to get root on OG9.
OE2 is the last rootable firmware version.
Is there anyway to downgrade OG9 to OE2? Accidently upgraded..

Unroot/relock with custom firmware

Hi there,
I've installed LOS 16 on my Galaxy S7 and I want to use my banking app on it. The problem is that the app says the device is rooted. I guess didn't root it. In download mode is written:
product name: SM-G930F
current binary: Custom
system status: Custom
FRP lock: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
I also searched the internet for a solution but the only way I've find i to flash the stock firmware.
Is there any other way to relock the phone with LOS on it?
Thanks for your help!

The knox counter has tripped, it can't be reset, it doesn't matter what ROM you put on it now most banking apps will never work on the phone again.
Sorry buddy.

Thanks for your answer!
Probably it is such a Samsung specific problem. I've installed LOS on a Xiaomi A2 lite and the banking app is usable. So there is no way to revoke the root permission?
Edit: On my old HTC One m8 with LOS 16 it works also fine.

Yes of course you can revoke root by going back to stock or a custom ROM based on stock but not on LOS as its a totally custom ROM.
With regards to banking apps working, some do, most don't. It very much depends how that app makes a secure connection and if the provider is happy for it to run on a modified device.
My HSBC app works on my phone but that's the only one all others I've tried give the message "this device has been modified / isn not secure" etc. and won't run.
It's not the root that prevents this, it's the fact that when you root a device you trip the knox counter which cannot be reset because its a hardware fuse not software.
Thank you for your reply.
The fact with the hardware fuse is known and it should be not the problem with the banking app. Like I wrote it works with other devices which are already unlocked. Probably It is the custom ROM which is not based on the stock ROM.
I will try to install an other ROM based on stock ROM without the annoying pre installed apps.
Many many thanks for your help!

Question Google Pay issues

I have the Edge S version. I have tried both EU and China ROMs (via TinyScript) but no matter which ones I use Google pay gives an error message. See pic. Bootloader is unlocked, and for what it's worth When I've tried to sideload ROMs via ADB I get an "unrecognized error messages.
That message constantly returns regards if I delete the file within the .android folder, revoke access in developer settings.....Lastly, it was rooted previously, and currently shows as unrooted.
Any thoughts? If it's just an unlocked bootloader, how do I relock it? How to I revert to comes ROM as if it's 100% BNIB?
You need install magisk to root
set zygisk hide root
install safetynet module to pass safetynet to use google pay

Google pay must check if the bootloader is unlocked i guess, as well as checking for root
I managed to get google pay to work by using the magisk build.prop module and just made it spoof that it is another motorola phone, then just make all google play and pay apps hide magisk and wipe all their data

I have the Moto g100 with the North American firmware. I oem unlock mine both Google pay and PayPal apps work fine. The only thing I did notice. Was in the Google Play store under settings and then all the way to the bottom where it says about. It said device not certified
I enabled It with sucess. You need to install TWRP + MAGISK ... Use magisk to hide root from any app. You should install safatynet.fix module inside magisk and Reboot ... After that try to check If safetynet is certified using safetynet test apps from play store. You will be happy like me ... It's working NFC well!!

You could try the OOS 12 process I've suggested in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-root-and-keeping-root-options.4387977/
If you use it, let me know how it worked.
Have you got the modified USNF Magisk module installed?
Did you enable Zygisk, DenyList, and add Google Pay to Configure DenyList?
Also, regarding Google Pay see https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygenos-12-c-16-update-for-oneplus-8t.1574300/ where it says "There is a known issue that Google Pay might fail to work after installing this build." That post also has some suggestions.

Question Magisk/Zygisk - Google Pay not working anymore

Is anybody else facing the problem the universal safetynet fix not working all of a sudden?
I didn't modify anything but since today I get a massage telling me my device doesn't match software requirements.
Because of that I did a manual update inlcuding patching but same problem.
Did google push some update?
hi mate i am not getting a answer anywhere else how did u root your z flip 3 as i've got sm-f711b and i cannot unlock my bootloader
follow the steps in this guide:
Guide to root Galaxy Z Flip 3 (B/N/0), unlock bootloader and flash official firmware (noob friendly)
Your warranty is now void. If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped. You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards although it is not...
forum.xda-developers.com
If your're from the US there maybe restrictions not allowing you to unlock your phone. Maybe a Non-Snapdragon version instead Samsung proprietary SOC- But I'm not sure.
all z flip 3 are snapdragon im from the uk

Did you not read what I wrote, I didn't say it was your module or safety net fix, there is literally a module you have to search on GitHub or XDA that allows gpay to work when rooted, had you looked it up you might have found it
Anyways enjoy your Knox tripped samsung

My device was rooted (so Knox was tripped anyway) way before I was asking here.
You wrote about a module to flash - so if you meant something else as a magisk module you should write more details.
I don't know what you mean with Knox, seems very salty. My device is working fine and I don't care if Knox is tripped or not. I have a solution for everything I was rooting the device in the first place. So no need for an rooted phone anymore.
