Android Pay not working. - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I Haven't rooted my phone yet but it keeps telling me this when I open android pay, when I first got my phone I set my up my card but now it saying that phone is either rooted or bootloader unlocked which isn't the case.
On Vodafone UK, before this I used my OP3 with Magisk with Android Pay but I haven't used that since I've got my s8 so I'm not sure what the issue could be.
Any insight to this?
Besides the usual factory reset.

same here EE UK S8 not rooted (yet) but comes up with same error message. It worked fine on my rooted and hidden with magisk S6
edit - oh and factory reset doesn't work as I already tried that. I thought it might have had something to do with bringing over magisk app from my google backup but I specifically didnt install that the 2nd time around. Knox hasn't been tripped so its not that

I'm having the same issue on a Galaxy S8 via Tmobile. I've never rooted it, have no clue if the bootloader is unlocked and I'm stock since I reset the phone the first time I got the error. Still getting the error and Android pay help chat was not useful.

Same issue here, on Voda UK. I used Package Disabler pro and thinking I might have disabled something I need.

So since I had OEM unlock enabled after disabling it, it passes and safetynet now.

I had no problems adding cards, but a few days later when I wanted to add more cards, I get the error. I can't remember what I did in between that would've caused this, but definitely not rooting! I turned developer option to off and still get the error.
My S7 is rooted and TWRPed and have no problems adding cards!!!!???

Very weird. Working just fine on my rooted s8+ with magisk.

I'm on T-Mobile with a S8 and Android Pay connected to my PayPal is getting card read error everywhere I try to use it.
Safety net says everything is ok too. Not sure what's going on. I have the newest update and not rooted.

I installed different Samsung Pay Framework apk and now I want to revert back and downgrade to another version to make Spay work.. when I click uninstall updates it wont let me. (Gives message that App is needed by system administrator.. when I open sys admin nothing there. hidden app)
Any ideas or suggestions on how to downgrade Samsung Pay Framework?
Thank you in advance,

Hi Can you let me know how you managed to root with Magisk and get Android pay etc to work?
My phone:
Model: SM-G955F
SW: G955FXXU1AQF7
I tried rooted and couldn't get it working, and now recovered to official ROM and still can't get it to work?!?

Dont you people know anythin?
All EU(exynos) S8 and other galaxies come with unlocked bootloaders. Thats causing the problem
Lock it

Hi all,
I already posted a question in the Official stock upgrade but it got lost in the other comments, so I'm trying my luck again.
I had an italian branded SM-G950F (OMN), I wanted to remove all the Vodafone stuff, so I installed a MULTI-CSC as per the official stock firmware upgrade thread, when I did it I had my Australian sim card in and I got a weird UK CSC (the multi CSC didn't have australia in it), after installing everything I noticed that Android Pay didn't work, so I did a factory reset with my italian sim card in and still Android Pay was complaining that my firmware was modified or rooted.
I decided to use an australian specific firmware so I downloaded an XSA firmware and did the procedure again.
At this stage Secure Folder and Samsung Pay work (the phone is NOT rooted, this update has been the only "mod" I have done) but Android Pay is still saying that my rom may be modified or rooted so it doesn't open.
It is pretty important for me because my back supports android pay but not samsung pay
The phone is not rooted, if I reboot the phone in download mode the warranty void bit is 0 (which is good).
If I use Root Checker Pro, under safety net tab, I get CTS profile match as FAIL, I was thinking this could cause Android Pay to fail.
any idea?

Does rooting in UK\Europe void our warranty?

Hi mariuscrist,
I'm not sure what app can be suspicious, I have reinstalled the apps I had before the firmware update and I could use android pay then. I'll see what it can be, probably it could be worth to do a factory reset and test android pay before anything else?

Galaxy S8 has only 16GB after rooting with Magisk

Hi,
I've bought a Galaxy S8+, rooted it succesfully with Magisk, disabled some apps, installed a custom Kernel and so on.
Noa after tripping KNOX, I saw one thing: On "Storage", the phone says "16.00GB available". What's up with that thing, there isn't even a S8 with 16GB on the market. Have I done something wrong?
I am a bit dissapointed, because I cannot exchange it anymore now (Because of tripped KNOX)
I am on stock sammy rom (7.0).
Any help is greatly appreciated
recover it using the main restore program on the phone and see if that fixes it
Did you find a fix? Just wondering if there's anything I can do I'm in the same boat

Is your problem solved? I, too, rebuild the firmware did not solve.Thanks

Yeah, I solved it months ago by entering in TWRP, selecting Wipe > Repair or change file system and then resized filesystem or something like that and then it displayed 32GB normally after boot. You won't loose your data by "resizing" the filsystem, but make a backup first, because things can go wrong.
I fixed this issue so many months ago that I even switched phones in the meantime. I am a happy S7 Edge owner now (Yeah, I found it better than the S8).

Samsung Pay on Rooted (0x1 Status) Phone

OK guys, sorry I know this has been brought up a bit, but I've been determined to find a solution. I've been trying to get Samsung Pay to work. More specifically because I use it a lot and have a Gear S3 that I want it to work with.
Yes I did research before I rooted, and it appeared there were many solutions to this problem, but I've tried them all and none have worked. I just want to see if anyone at all has got this working. Maybe I can update with different things everyones tried as we go. I feel like there HAS to be a way to make this work. If anyone has gotten this to work in any way, please post!
My Phone: SM-G950F
Knox Status: 0x1 (Faked 0x0 by Magisk)
ROM: Renovate Ice 5.1
CSC Version: SPE (Spain)
From my research, the SPE seems to be open to Samsung pay along with some others. I have encountered different error messages with different combinations of software, hiding Samsung Pay in Magisk, etc. It might just be due to newer and older version of Samsung Pay
Things I've tried:
Fake 0x0 with Magisk, v13.6, 13.7, 14.0
Hide root status with Magisk
1.3.7 Samsung Pay Gear Plug-In (I found somewhere that said this version works, although it just keeps updating for me)
Moved /system/xbin/busybox to SD card
Error message I'm receiving on latest software: Access Denied: Samsung Pay has been locked due to an unauthorized modification. Tap the link below to call customer service and unlock Samsung Pay (RD-SXA).
Note, I have not tried calling customer service yet, that will likely be my next step. I will just tell them I bought the phone on eBay and I'm getting this message. I doubt there is anything they can do, but it's worth a try.
Please don't grill me, I know basically everyone claims this is NOT possible with 0x1 due to hardware fuse, etc. I know this community is strong and I've seen people pull off the impossible before, just hoping to get this to work so my S3 Gear doesn't become a paper weight.
The actual functionalities of Samsung Pay (MST for example) are handled by trusted apps running in secure world. Root in normal world does not affect anything there. Saying that we can fool normal world apps, we still can't fool the TA running in secure world. So even though Samsung Pay app can launch, it won't be able to function in the end.
OK, I have an update. I was able to get Samsung Pay (mobile version) to work! The regular version still gives me an error, but if I launch from my watch, it pulls the mobile version instead.
Here's what I did:
**NOTE: This only works if you have a Gear S3, I have not been able to get the full version of Samsung Pay to work on the phone yet.
1. Boot into recovery
2. Wipe all partitions except the SD Card and OTG
3. Installed Renovate Ice 5.1
4. Select Custom CSC during install and chose "214 Spain"
5. At the end of setup, don't reboot, flash magisk again manually (It's installed in the ROM, however this is the only way I found to get the icon to show up)
6. Open Magisk Manager
7. Click Menu and go to "Magisk Hide"
8. Search for "Pay" and check all apps that show up
9. Update all apps and connect S3 as a new device (you can restore apps/settings)
10. Use root explorer to /system/xbin and move busybox to your SD card (Make sure it doesn't exist on internal storage, if it's present, app will fail)
11. Launch Magisk Manager again and search for "Pay", again make sure all are checked, for me there was another new Gear version that I had to check to hide
12. Reboot the phone
13. Hold down top button on S3 to launch Samsung Pay
14. Proceed through wizard and add a card or "Launch" Samsung Pay on the phone from the S3
15. The Samsung Mobile app should open correctly on the phone and let you add cards etc.
If you try to add busybox back and reboot, it will not work. And again, the actual "Samsung Pay" app on the phone does NOT work, I still get an error. Maybe it's not possible.

Nice findings! So Gear S3 has stand alone pay capability even with non-Samsung devices?

I'm not sure about non Samsung devices. All I'm saying is there are 2 versions of Samsung Pay on the S8, one standard version that you would use if you didn't have a Gear S3 and another version that s triggered from the S3 but then runs on phone. That's the one I can get to work.

Does this method work with renovate 7.2? I have followed the steps and appears denied access
Same problem here, and I live in Spain too!
Does it work with other rom?
I have an sm 930f with 0x1 status, also. since the error message has changed and suggests "call customer service to unlock samsung pay at 0330 726 7729" I just got off the phone with UK customer service.
1. agent didn't know anything about unlocking samsung pay
2. since I reside in the U..S he suggested I had to call U.S customer service which I have already done and they know nothing about unlocking samsung pay. Perhaps there's a change in the works but not yet.
I wonder what happens if the flash counter hits 0x9. One more flash and it hits 0x10 or does it go back to 0x0??

When you root your phone, most roots will break Knox (the security app that is used for the finger printers samsung pay and many other apps that require security verification) You will have to reset to stock or find an unroot to fix it. Here is a link to a stock room it was the newest I could find on the sprint S7 edge forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-g935pvps4bqg1-stock-odin-t3660973
Considering i need 935p not 925 I dont think it'd work, how would I reset to stock? And or how would I unroot? I tried using kingoroot to unroot but that did nothing

Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized

Hi everyone,
Straight to the point, I bought Samsung S7 Edge second-hand and I get trouble in lagging and always show notification of "Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes."
This problems also tangled me when I'm using Samsung Health...:crying::crying::crying:
As basic situation, I know it had been root and unroot before I bought this phone.
Is anyone can help me to get rid off?:crying::crying:
samsung health, android pay and secure folder won't work on device that has root or have been rooted. firstly, to get rid of the annoying notification, install titanium backup,grant root rights if you are still rooted, locate the apk "security log agent and freeze it. If not, install latest twrp and root with magisk or supersu, just search online how to do so. lastly , to get rid of the lagging and notification . flash latest stock rom via odin and everything would be fine ..just remember that your knox is tripped forever so don't expect samsung health would work after removing root or getting back to latest stock ..hope this helps and good luck
