Has anyone found a workaround to get Android pay to work while rooted? I had read there were some workarounds for other phones but had heard no specific information about ours

Check the android development subforum for the systemless root method. This still currently allows pay with root still enabled. (Though it may be buggy with some apps.) Alternatively, you can temporarily disable su through the SuperSU app when adding cards/making payments.
In a related note, after some personal testing and investigating, I've found you can't have Xposed installed and still use Android Pay. Something about the changes it makes to system is blocking the authentication. If anyone is able to use Xposed with Android Pay, I'm all ears.

I've rooted my T-Mobile GS6e+ using arter97's kernel and I just got android pay today.
When I try to add a card I get the error:
Android Pay cannot be used
Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible
I have a good feeling it's because the phone is rooted and it probably checks the device status and sees that it's set to "Custom."
Can anyone think of a possible workaround for this?
Edit: I was thinking maybe I could Deodex it and then install xposed and use the mod that spoofs the device status?
Or just not use it This is going to be a hard choice. It's very convenient to use Android Pay ( nee Wallet) to send small sums of money in lieu of checks, but I do like having Adaway ( the only reason I root my phone ). Hmm. It's certainly not worth installing xposed , for me.
Maybe unroot, install Android Pay, then re-root?
EDIT: The new Wallet works fine. Even on a rooted device.

Well you can install exposed frame work and install the hide root module and then it might work. I had to do that to get my Uber Partner app to work and after I did that it works great. But later they fixed it to where it works now on rooted device now too.

Can someone just tell me the easiest way to root this device? I dont use Android pay yet so not a big concern for me about that. Just seems I cannot find a clear cut answer
I just searched and its Samsung pay your referring to
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No some have said root breaks Android pay. This isn't a Samsung device so why would I even have this on there?
Almost all you need to know here. It doesn't cover system-less root very much, but instead of SU 2.52 use 2.56 WITH the systemless boot image, this is important.

Here's my situation. I have a stock rooted S7 Edge but I need to use Good for Enterprise and my employer does not allow root on their Good policy. I have toyed with trying to hide it but it doesn't seem that there is a reliable way. My only option appears to be to load another stock rom via dual boot and to run good from that.
Does anyone know if this is possible - I have searched a lot.
Also does anyone know if there's a reliable way to hide root from Good. That would really save me some hassle.
Well im not if it will work but look for old gfe version that support the xposed module that hide root from gfe. There is a thread here in xda on this.

I work IT for a company that uses the new Good Work. I have tried for weeks and lost tons of sleep trying to get that crap to work. I couldn't crack it on my jailbroken iPhone and now the same for this. If you find out a way please let me know...
There may be a way to Dual boot, But it depends if the Dev adds support for our S7.
I used this on my other Galaxy series including the Note 3.

use hide my root mods and apps (especially Xposed Versions)....no app can find you are root...google it
i'm using RootCloak
I'm in a similar boat. My corporation uses Outlook 365 and an app from Microsoft called Company Portal. This app scans for root and other alterations of the system.
I'm also using RootCloak and systemless root and xposed which keeps the Company Portal app happy.
Another option that has worked for me was using systemless root and renaming the "su" binary to something else (and also uninstalling the SuperSu apk). This allows root access from the adb for things like debloating but doesn't allow root apps to work so it's more limiting.
Just purchased a brand new Mate 9 from Best Buy in the USA. First Huawei device.
Held the Mate 9, Galaxy 8 and Galaxy 8+ in my hands and didn't like the feel of the Galaxy 8 handsets.
Before I even switch it on, I wanted to ask the regulars here what they suggest are the first things to do beforehand as I want to root it and install TWRP and Magisk.
After reading in the Mate 9 forum there are different posts about rooting, patching and other things (e.g. people bricking their device) in regards to tweaking this device, so I wanted to know for sure what the correct procedure is to root, install TWRP and Magisk.
I have watched the two videos shown here for tips so anything else that is helpful would be appreciated.
I would honestly not root for a while so that you can get a proper feel of the device as it was meant to be experienced. Just my 2 cents.

Gotta agree with this. I've had mine for almost two months and it's so good I've never felt the need to root. But I'd say do lots of reading around first and get a feel for the stock is in the mean time.

Thank you for the suggestions. I don't want to set up the phone and then find I have to do a factory-reset when I can get it all done in one go.
I really hate all the ads (using AdAway on current Nexus 6) and like the ability to restrict apps usage e.g. stop location or mobile identification, so use LBE, thus the reason wanting to root and install TWRP. Having image backups has been amazingly helpful over the years.
and now that Magisk is doing an amazing job, I can have all the rooted tweaks and still have Android Pay working.
Root - yes
Adaway and other system tweaks - yes (with extra experience - to get system read/write)
Magisk - no

Are you meaning I can have AdAway or some other ad blocking without needing root or do I need root for any successful blocking of ads...?
One other reason for rooting is Titanium Backup...my go-to app for keeping older copies of apps so I can revert to them when needed.

No.
I told that if you want to customize system (Some functions in TB and Adaway do it), so you must have root and additionally turn dm-verity off.
Just root = simple functional.
P.s. One of Adaway can work without root
I have an ad blocker and I'm not rooted.
Search xda for netpatch firewall. Working for me here.
Only ads it doesn't block for me is YouTube but I can live with that
Bit late to the conversation but I have to say I've rooted every phone I've had except this one, and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm in favour of leaving this phone as it is.

I don't think Magisk works on the Mate 9.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/install-magisk-huawei-mate-9-t3540310
With all these newer options of getting root e.g. systemless root, is it possible to do this on the HM9?
I'm new to Huawei and would like the OTA updates.

Systemless root works fine but you have to flash the stock recovery each time you want to OTA.

Thanks very much for the update.
Am I understanding this correctly, that systemless root is better than the SuperSU and other old-school/typical root options...?
Also, if I go with systemless root, then Android Pay and other banking apps (here's looking at you Barclays!) won't work because they would need Magisk to get them working...? (Weighing up my options here about whether I root or not as I really like the convenience of Android Pay and using banking apps but truly dislike the ads and how apps connect to internet when not needed to. Also, some of the users here have said they're enjoying not being rooted. Sigh...first-world problems).

Yeah, if you root you won't be able to use Android Pay or anything that calls SafetyNet. Actually, it won't work either if you unlock bootloader.
I'll chime in here too
I've rooted and modded every phone I have had in my life, (more than 20 years) and this is the first phone I have had NO DESIRE at all to root..
Like the others here have said, this phone is fantastic stock, and I cant see ever wanting to root it
Another one to add. This is the first android phone i have no desire to root. Love it as it is. Really great.
are we all getting old that's why we don't wanna root anymore for cheats/sixaxis, etc...? this is also my first android phone (mate 9 pro) that i didn't root.
well, yeah, we are all getting old, but I dont think thats why we dont want to root this thing; I think that it already does most of the things as stock that we usually root a phone to get..
Mate 9 pro here too, and its truly an awesum phone...too bad its not "officially" sold in the USA, as it would be super popular..

Same here and Happy....
+ root M9 is really challenging depending on your firmware
I have an app on my phone (Airwatch), that is required in order to receive my "work email." Well, in order for that to work, i need to basically hide my root access to that app. Doing so will make the app thinks the device is not compromised, and allow the authorization to complete.
I've researched quite of view sites and videos, but all seem be for older android versions or not for SuperSU.
Anyone had any luck hiding root to an app on Pure Nexus Rom 7.1.2 ?
Thank you!
Try this when naugat was fresh I couldn't get it to work for Android pay but I'm seeing more success on the forum now

That's a doozy of a thread. Looks like i have a lot of reading to do.
I sure hope something works. I sold my old phone and bought this Nexus 6P in order to root (for free tethering) and add a custom rom. I absolutely need my work email, so i hope i can figure something out without going to back to a stock phone.
You can use Google's tether for free without root
Oops guess not that was a long time ago when I needed that guess you did need root

Guess it depends on the carrier for tethering. I have the pain of AT&T.

I use Nine and use the software base security when setting up my work email. No issue with root.
As for hiding root, I use Magisk but I can't get safetynet to pass. Oh well.

I know Magisk has the "hide root" feature. But is it worth changing from SuperSU to Magisk? It sounds like I still won't pass safety net since I'm running a custom Rom.
Well, i figured a work-around to avoid installing Airwatch. I just added a shortcut to my office360 email, right on my homescreen. It doesn't notify me of new work emails, but at least i can go check them.
But i still would like to add my Snapchat. Is there anything floating around which allows you to use snapchat with Pure Nexus?
Magisk is the way to root and hide it. -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk
it's supported and on the stock ROM, Android Pay and SafetyNet passes with an unlocked bootloader and root.
