Anyone else having an issue with Android Pay. I am rooted (systemless) and finally decided to add a card to Android Pay. I've been able to get into Android Pay and tap the plus button to add the card just to test that it would work. I'm just now getting around to setting it up now. This time however tapping the plus button, I get the error message when you are rooted the traditional way. I didn't install any new apps that weren't directly from the Play store or that use root in any way.
I checked and noticed Android Pay was updated though. I went ahead and rebooted and was now able to add a card. But in the middle of adding another card I got the same error message. I dismissed it and was able to add another card. For some reason I could not add my Bank of America Visa though. So I haven't used it yet at a terminal. Anybody seen this issue?

Ugh. I was going to post that I hadn't seen this before, but before doing so I removed my discover card from AP and tried to add it again - got that dang error message you're referring to. Then rebooted my phone and tried to re-add it, and this time got further to where it says "contacting your bank" before again failing. Ugh Google why! Might try side loading the old version of AP see if that makes a difference.
EDIT: Very, very odd. I rolled back to the previous 1.1.1 version and tried adding the card again. The first time it failed instantly, but the 2nd time I tried (immediately after) it went through fine.
EDIT2: Just tried adding a completely different card after RE-updating to the latest version and it added perfectly fine right away the first time I tried. No idea what's going on here.
I might try going to a terminal later today to see if it works with the cards I already have added and I want that free Chromecast
I can't seem to add any more cards. They both say failed to verify info.
I was able to use Android Pay at the grocery store today. I still haven't been able to add any other cards thoug,even though I've waited 24 hours since adding the last two.
Decided to root today for the first time on this phone and I am also having this issue, so I went back to stock. I am on MMB29P. I had installed twrp, then flashed the systemless root version 2.66. Root was working fine, but the safteynet checker failed and I tried adding a card and got the Android Pay error. I have not tried the old method of installing the modified boot / SU... I just let 2.66 patch the boot image for me. I really just wanted to use Adaway too.
Edit: I guess adaway modifies the system partition, so that is probably why this wasn't working for me. Since that was the main reason for me to root, guess I'm staying on stock.
Read this thread on systemless root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/systemless-root-themed-apps-t3292105
If it were me though I would just flash the /unSU zip, then flash SuperSU 2.61 http://download.chainfire.eu/746/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.61-20151207213702.zip . Then AP should just work without having to run any terminal commands. I've done it this way numerous times and it worked every time.
As for Adaway, if you flash the systemless hosts zip before installing Adaway AP will be unaffected.

I only ever add one card though.
And I don't have busybox installed (although I did install it previously and AP worked without issue)
So I can't add my Bank of America card because it can't verify my system, but I can still use android pay with the card I already have added. Not sure what to do at this point. Also want to point out the safety net app passes.
I'm still on Verizon stock NI2 4.4.4, but I rooted many moons ago. Ever since Google updated their Wallet app to the new Wallet with Android pay, I can't use Wallet with NFC. I used to use the vending machine, but now it says "android pay cannot be used" and it kicks me back out. I tried temp unrooting with SuperSU, as well as RootCloak. I even tried older versions of the Wallet app, but nothing works. Anyone have luck with this?
So I bought a Galaxy S8+ (7.0) to replace my 6P (8.0), and I'm trying to copy my app data over. Not having any luck. Any suggestions for how to do it? The apps themselves are no big deal, I can download from the Play Store, but I want my data.
6P is still completely stock - locked bootloader, so I would have to erase it to root. This would defeat the purpose. If there is a way to do a complete backup, root, and restore so I could use TiBu that would be awesome.
I do have Google apps backup enabled, and I have a backup on Drive that I can find and see all my apps. However, according to this link you can't restore from a newer version of Android to an older one. It never gives me the option to restore when I add my Google account to the new phone, and I can't find a way to restore from Drive on the new phone, even though I can see all the apps in the backup. Downloading apps from the store doesn't restore their data either. I can't downgrade my 6P back to Nougat without root either.
I tried Helium Backup, but it just simply doesn't work. As evidenced by many comments on the Play Store it doesn't work on the 6P.
Am I just stuck? I would think there would be a better solution than this.
You tried helium backup this way I guess ???
https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-app-data-with-or-without-root
There are not many ways to do, you could try Holo or super backup.
That's why we root

The problem I am having with Helium backup is that it just doesn't seem to work. If I connect through port 5000 from my PC (PC download) and tell it to backup then it just sits there and says "waiting for [IP address]" and never comes back to save anything. If I try to backup to the device, it does a couple of different things - it comes up and asks for my device password (which I put in settings) and then it fills in the password for me, but then either the "Back Up My Data" is grayed out or it sits on that screen, fills in the password, and then the apps start cycling through while it is adding characters to the password, then it gets stuck and stops. I have to reboot the phone to reset the backup to try again. (It's not locked up, just Helium is stuck.)
I'll look into Holo and Super Backup.
Followup: No go on the others. It says Holo can only be used to restore to the same device, and Super Backup needs root to backup the app data.
Bad for you, I doubt there is way for you to backup with a locked bootloader if none of the apps are working.
The only way to root a phone without a patched boot.img (SuperSU and magisk) is to use kingroot, but I highly doubt this will work. Do yourself a favor and root your s8 to avoid this the next time.

Yes, pretty much. Google restore is decent in getting your new device close to where it was, but app data (especially for non-Google apps) can be a problem. Sometimes the app has a dedicated folder and you can try copying that over. This worked for me once long ago with WhatsApp before it had it's own backup capability. After the Google restore, exactly which apps are you needing saved data for? Someone may be able to chime in if it is a specific game or well known app. Now that root is available for S8+ you should do that asap before getting it all set up the way you want it. It's only painful one time, but then you will have access to TiBu and all the other "essential" root apps.

The problem is that Google restore didn't work either since it was going from an Oreo device to a Nougat device. I didn't think backing up was a big deal since Google is supposed to handle it, but it's not doing me any good at all. I couldn't do a full restore from the phone, and when I reinstall apps from the Play Store it doesn't include the data. Most things have accounts so I can set it back up again, but all of my preferences and settings for every app are gone. I'm pretty much having to go through app by app and reconfigure everything. Plus I have lost high scores and low times for several games...
My only concern with rooting the S8+ is that I have seen that it makes Android Pay not work, and some people say the Play Store has issues. Is that true? I've just begun researching it.

I'm afraid I can't be of much help because I don't use Android Pay or Samsung devices (except the Galaxy Nexus which was great) ...but both Pay and PlayStore seem to be working fine on most rooted devices. I have never had a PS issue due to my phone being rooted. I just know I won't be without root because the root apps I use are more important to me in every day use. It's up to the individual to decide whether root is right for them, or not. I suggest hanging out in the Sammy board here on XDA, read and ask questions until you know what you want to do. BUT what I said earlier is true and most will vouch for me... make the decision asap, because unlocking and rooting will require wiping the phone.
Edit: Side note... just found this article which doesn't help you, but it does raise a question: Did you initiate the restore during the initial setup process on the S8+ or afterwards? If afterwards, wiping the phone and trying Google restore again may work.
There are multiple solutions available for G Suite backup.You can google this solution .Last time I used the solution for same issue and got entire backup with softaken G Suite backup tool. I will recommend you to download softaken G Suite backup tool. software from here G Suite backup.
Hey Folks!
Hope someone can help me out here. I've read a whole bunch of forums and have tried a number of potential solutions to no avail. I have Magisk 15.2 installed and am running Lineage OS 14.2. Multiple apps confirm I pass Safetynet and I can successfully add a card to Android Pay. However, when I try to pay at a terminal, nothing happens. I have tried multiple terminals with no success. Nfc is enabled and android beam works.
Thanks!!!
Try enabling Core Only Mode in Magisk settings, try disabling systemless BusyBox, or try uninstalling your version of Magisk and trying the latest beta. SafetyNet is a nightmare to keep up with. Every time it updates, Magisk gets broken and we have to wait for a new update. Unfortunately, the only real solution is to stop using SafetyNet-dependent apps or keep a locked bootloader/unrooted phone. Or perhaps have one phone for custom ROM stuff and another one for SafetyNet stuff. :/ This is why I'm so vocal about ROMs passing SafetyNet. Hopefully you'll find a fix.
Hey there. Thanks! My phone already passes safety net, though, so I don't think that's the issue... That's what's so bizarre about it! Would you still recommend taking those steps with Magisk Manager?

You don't get an error message or anything? Sorry, I missed that. Not sure what the issue is, then. I assume by the other apps, you mean legit apps that actually check for SafetyNet, like downloads in Netflix, a game like Fire Emblem Heroes or a banking app like RBS. If you're able to use those apps or use all of the features perfectly, the issue might just be Android Pay, which probably now detects Magisk(?). Anyway, unless you're actually able to use an app that uses SafetyNet, those SafetyNet checkers don't count for much.
Correct. No error messages, Netflix and others work fine, successfully registered a card in Android Pay, it just doesn't do anything at payment terminals.

I am experiencing the same issue but with Omni 7.1 and Magisk 15.2.
Card was added but giving "Card read error" at payment terminal.
If changing the settings or flashing a beta build doesn't get it to work, then I'm not sure what will. If you're able to, backup your existing ROM and factory reset it. If your Pro3 variant has an official LeEco ROM that passes SafetyNet natively, flash that and lock the bootloader and set up Android Pay to see if it works. Can't offer much else to help you, sorry.
Might be nothing to do with your problem, but i noticed when using nfc to add contacts with other nfc phones etc, that this phone has its nfc chip at the bottom/middle of the phone (it was a while ago, hope I've not remembered incorrectly). Until i realised this i had problems getting it to work.
Edit.. my memory is so bad in now thinking it was the very very top of the phone. Try both.
Thanks for your help, everyone. I discovered today that if I initiate the transaction while my screen is locked, it will actually start the process. I can then unlock the screen and re-tap and it will successfully complete about 75% of the time.
Nothing still happens if i tap the terminal with screen unlocked.
Not perfect, but it works for now!

Are you still able to get it to work like this? What was the last update you installed? I am trying to do some research to figure out why this happens on many different devices with different roms and such. Most seem to have the ability to get Pay to work and load cards into it, but using at stores and tapping the terminals does nothing(currently my issue).
So what is you setup as of now? Magisk ver, universal safetynet fix(if you're using that) ver, OS ver/date, and what security patch?
If you can provide those things it would be helpful.
Thank you.
Yes, that is still how it works, though I've found over time that it works more like 25% of the time. The last LOS update I have installed is February 10th. I'm using Magisk 15.3, running Android 7.1.2, and last security patch is 1/05/18.
Thanks!
Any luck with this?. Havent tried lock screen pay yet, but unlocked it doesn't work.

Google switched the API last week and rebranded Android Pay as Google pay

Have you tried installing Google Pay?

Yes same issue.
Interestingly, upgrading to official LOS 15.1 this week completely resolved the issue. Google Pay works great unlocked, now.

It will probably work in Lineage 14.1 once its been updated for the newer api.
A few days ago Google pay randomly stopped working. I'm running Magisk 17.3 since the newer versions stop magisk hide spontaneously. (Tried the latest version tho). I'm passing safetynet, play store says my device is certified, latest os, magisk hide works and I've hidden magisk (and enabled systemless hosts) and hidden root from google pay, still it says that the phone has been rooted or altered in some way.
Any other ideas?
Same problem here. Started 1.3.19
Same here, just rooted last week to get Call Screening here in Canada, and finally got around to getting my Google Pay set up again. No luck
There's been quite a few reports about this, but nothing major enough to get traction, I think. You can try checking this thread, there's a number of possible fixes in there, though they didn't help me, maybe it could work for you.
