Hello all,
It seems that AndroidPay is now available to the UK market.
You can now download it from the Play Store and install it on your phone. The problem now is the phone validation.
Some phones need Locked Bootloader, Stock Recovery, Stock and Unrooted Rom.
Some get away with an unlocked Bootloader, Stock Recovery, Stock and Unrooted Rom.
Has anyone tried running it? Is it working on any of the stock Roms?
If it is working on your phone, could you leave a version and the state (locked/unlocked, etc) in a reply?
If you are able to add a card, your phone is validated.
Thanks!
I have it installed on ALE-L21C432B551 (single SIM) with bootloader unlocked (stock recovery, non-rooted).
I haven't actually used it as of yet, but have successfully added my debit card (HSBC Visa Debit), and a few loyalty cards (Costa, Tesco & CeX) to it, all without problems.
I'll likely be trying it out the next time I need to use public transport, as I live in London, and TFL have allowed Android Pay to be used as a replacement for Oyster cards.

Hi Guys. (First post)
Rooted my UK One, using a CNET guide (can't post the link, I need 10 posts!)
Worked well, blocked ads as per my orginal aim.
However, 4.2.2 is out today in the UK, and everytime I download it and the phone reboots to install it boots up TWRP and all I can do is reboot the phone, starting the install off again (it's sat there now). A quick google suggests it's the custom bootloader messing things up, and the rooted rom may not like suddenly becoming un-rooted
How do I get the stock vodafone firmware back on, so I can install the software update? The ad blocks aren't working much anymore, so won't be too sad to loose root (could always re-root I suppose)
I understood the root and recovery process (did my galaxy s2 as well) but going the other way is confusing, mainly knowing what firmware to use (UK Vodafone)
Cheers
Sam
Have you checked the sticky guide about going back to stock?
Have you searched the threads for Vodafone RUU / backups?
There isn't a Vodafone UK RUU available so you'll have to hope someone has a CWM/TWRP backup you can restore
Hi there,
It's exciting that Android pay supports Australian bank. However, when I downloaded it and was adding card, it shows "Google is unable to verify the device..." I rooted my p9, but I unchecked superuser before adding credit card. It still doesn't work on my phone. Does anyone know about this?
Cheers.
You have to reflash a stock ROM.

Thanks mate. I'll have a try today.
If you have an eva-l09 model then flash paulobriens stock rom here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/stock-rom-dload-file-p9-eva-l09-b136-t3382818
Then unlock bootloader and flash twrp.
Then flash this zip file in twrp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/c432-oeminfo-flash-twrp-t3384903
Then reflash the stock rom again and you will have Android pay back and bootloader will be relocked.
Actually if you already have twrp installed you could probably just flash the custom OEM and then flash the stock rom.
Do a twrp backup first though
I decided that Android Pay isn't worth it for me. I use Xposed way more than I would use Android Pay. Plus Commonwealth Banks tap to pay works with root blocker in Xposed. So my main bank works for NFC payments. Although Westpac, my other bank is pretty much the worst with tech support. They did some deal with Samsung where only Samsung devices are supported for NFC payments - it's the freaking worst. They insist that it's to do with security, but it's a load of crap.

All right. But unfortunately my bank is ANZ. I was really surprised cuz it support Android pay now. I really like using the app from Google, that's why I want to have a try. Anyway, I'll restore my phone and have a try again.
Hi Guys, I've managed to get through every stage of this until it gets to reflashing the stock rom at the end. For some reason it just goes back into TWRP when rebooting. Is that supposed to happen and if so what next?
I'm guessing I may have gone wrong somewhere along the lines?!
First of all, hi everyone owo/
Well, as the title says, my dad bought two unlocked S5's from Amazon and both of them come from AT&T and we use them here with Personal which is an Argentinian network carrier
Everything works fine, 4G works great, but one of the issues is this one
Since it passed 3 years when KitKat got the latest update (4.4.4, on the phone is 4.4.2 .-.) some apps do not want to upgrade at the Play Store since sometimes on Android when is not upgraded, some apps lose compatibility with the device (On this I doubt, I'm not 100% sure) and I want to ask to you guys if you can help me with steps to at least upgrade my mom's phone and mine (since my dad is getting a new one and gives me his S5) to Lollipop without rooting the device, because here on XDA I saw a post on how to do it but it requires root and I'm not going to do it just to be safe, so I was curious to see if there's a possibility of upgrading the system through Odin, which I do have a little bit of experience (I did have it with an older Sammy phone, not the newest ones) without losing the carrier unlock thing
If you guys can remember there was a code to let you know if the network was unlocked or not but sadly it does not work anymore so I don't have any idea if it is permanent or not other than switching the cards, so my question is, I will lose the unlock if I update the system through Odin??
Also I don't have a AT&T specific SIM card to do the upgrade (Which for me is BS having only the AT&T card to do system updates) and I saw some posts on XDA on how to update it but only I saw the root method to update fom KK to Lolli and I don't want to root it, I want to do it just normally through Odin saving me some time
I'm not against root, is fine but I always prefer a much safer way instead of tinkering with some important system stuff and also I'm new into this forum (And I visited XDA since 2012)
Have a good day
Rodoko (my username is old, so I use this one written here, my account was made in 2013 so... I am unable to modify it u.u )

It is highly suggested that you root with towelroot and upgrade with flashfire. You can't root on Lollipop and you can't downgrade back to KK. May as well root now just in case you ever need it. Root doesn't modify system files on its own, the end-user does that.
Hi all,
Just bought a shiny new Mi Mix for use in the UK.
I have installed UK google play and Android Pay but frustratingly it doesn't want to work.
"Android pay cannot be used on this device. This may be because your device is rooted, has an unlocked bootloader or is running a custom ROM. As a result, Google can't confirm that your device meets Android pays security standards"
The device is not rooted.
Has anyone else found a fix ?
Grateful for any help!!
Not rooted, but does it have an unlocked Bootloader?
My import from China worked with Android Pay (and Barclays Pay) in the UK when I first bought it, but having unlocked the bootloader to put the EU Rom onto it, Android Pay no longer works, with the exact same message.
Oddly, Barclays still works fine.
TBH, Android Pay hardly worked with any of my cards, so I wasn't THAT concerned anyway. Still use my iPhone for most contactless stuff as all my cards work with that system.

It maybe if you relock the bootloader it will work, check if bootloader is unlocked.
"fastboot oem device-info"
Think it will only work on Chinese stable.
I'm not that fussed with Android Pay not working - Barclays does, and Android Pay didn't work on all but 1 of my cards.
Also having used the EU ROM, I wouldn't go back to Chinese version.
Hopefully OP might find it helpful though.
Flash the official china ROM. The one that you have are unofficial ROM (if I can't say fake rom).
Seems to be working on mine, official china rom.
I'm on the official Global Rom and locked my bootloader. The app will finally allow me to add credit cards no problem. But the app won't launch or pay for anything near a terminal that accepts android pay. I unlock the phone, hold it to next to the terminal and nothing.
Anyone else have success on paying for anything?

I had this when i set up my bank card to use with the underground. You have to go to NFC section and change "Secure element position" to using HCE wallet.

Thanks. I've switched it over from embedded secure element to this and will give it a shot.
So after the latest Global Rom update, 8.2.5.0 MAHMIDL, android pay is broken again. NFC activates, vibrates, but i can't get it to process anything. it just keeps looping.
Is anyone else having this problem? I also uninstalled and reinstalled the android pay app. Thanks.

You need to check whether it passes the safety net check. I've used stock rom with android pay before and it always fails after a rom update.

It passed. I also got an android pay update yesterday so I'll find out next time I use it again. Ugh.
Yup, still doesn't work. I've removed the credit card and added it back no problem. But whenever I use android pay to actually pay for something, i just get a rotating circle that doesn't seem to want to connect to a server I'm guessing.
Exactly the same here. Have tried everything. Currently I am on a developer rom. It doesn't work. Got a mi6 2 weeks ago and it is a similar story. Android pay works at all 7/11 as it seems but nowhere else. Drives me crazy. It is really too bad. Wish I could just use the NFC feature both phones have. Based out of Singapore btw.

I contacted google and they asked me to send them a report, but it looks like Xiaomi disabled this option in their build of the Global ROM. I'm lost and not sure what to do. Maybe I should install android pay from 3 versions ago and see if that helps.
Also, I can't ever get my Region to be anything other than Poland while I'm in the US. There are a bunch of other tiny issues that I've reported bugs about but Xiaomi seems to ignore.
Just paid for my breakfast with Android pay. On Resurrection Remix, dragonxia kernel, and I flashed the universal Xiaomi safetynet fix for Magisk. Go to Magisk settings, enable magiskhide, reboot, and safetynet passed.
When I first got this Blu R1 HD Prime version I was able to remove the ads and such by using the SP tool and directions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/blu-r1-hd-remove-amazon-ads-ota-updates-t3427303. It is currently on 6.5. I have never updated it since then because I did not want to deal with ads again. Now I am having issues with it not wanting to connect to any mobile data (wifi is fine though and the sim card works in another phone) I figured an update might not hurt things. So with all that said, what is the best way to get the phone updated without bringing the ads back and not losing any data/apps?

Not knowing what is causing the data connection problems, it is not positive making update will help, but worth a shot.
I have posted updates that can be installed without being forced back into the ads system.
Will need to install TWRP recovery to install them.
Rooting the system is not needed to remove ads with twrp installed, if you do not want to have room rooted.
Since you are on 6.5 and not 6.6 you can use spft to flash recovery, or you can also use the dirty-cow method "tool" to unlock bootloader and then install recovery with fastboot(built into the tool )
If you don't have recovery then my opinion is use this to get recovery installed
https://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/unlock-tool-t3561333
Then use twrp to install one of these ROMs (recommend v21)

in my case two amzn 8.7 will show that it recognize sim, but no service, would need root to try and change IMEI, probably these phones are from a batch reported lost or stolen, but to be blacklist even in my country, a bit farfetched.

could just be an APN setting needs set to your carrier number/ settings.
Rebooting about a dozen times seems to have fixed it. I double checked the APN and everything but nothing worked. It just started working again. However I do still want to update it just to make sure it has more recent bug fixes. Thanks all.
