Want to go back to stock but want Google Pay? (Exynos N950F) - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I have wanted to go back to stock filmware but I have come to rely on Google Pay.
It would only work with Magisk, until now.
I was on a custom rom, I toggled OEM to off (I knew what to expect. To be warned, it will lock you out of the phone, you will HAVE to flash filmware with Odin and MUST login to the last account on the phone)
After flashing stock, the OEM toggle remained off. I tried Google Pay and to my surprise, worked. I even just popped to the shop to test it expecting an error when trying to pay but, no, it worked.
If this is common knowledge, please go easy on me :fingers-crossed:
Maybe there is someone who has wanted the same as me, so thought I would share.

Android Pay doesn't work on my device

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?!

Forgotten password....how to reset

Running Pure Nexus which may not matter. Wife got mad and figured out my pattern lock to be nosey in my phone. She then decided to change to a password lock. I am now locked out. How can I reset my password without wiping my data? Android device manager knows it's locked so I can't use it to set a lock code. Saw a method using pc and adb to clear the password and reboot but not near my pc. Any way to use Twrp?
You SERIOUSLY can't get your wife to tell you the unlock code she put on it??? The only idea I have to get around it would to be dirty flash your current ROM over top of itself. This will retain your data and maybe/probably? take off the unlock code. On a side note, going forward I think you guys really need to work on trust and boundaries...
Hi,
Sorry to hear that happened to you. I have faced this issue before when I accidentally choose the pattern lock and forgot what it was. Could you tell me what ROM and android version you are running. The kernel also matters because if it has encryption enabled by default, the TWRP recovery would also need the same pattern/PIN for you to get in there to flash it. I guess my only other solution would be to use the Nexus Toolkit and try dirty flashing if you're running a custom ROM or checking the 'no wipe data' when flashing the official Google image.
Have a great new year!
Love,
Syed
I decided to just wipe and flash a new ROM. Took the opportunity to update to Pure Nexus Nougat. I'm still setting online accounts back up which is part of what I wanted to avoid. I really dislike not being automatically logged in to pay my bills!

Wow paying your bills on a device with root and an unlocked bootloader. You surely are brave.
As for your issue well to be honest you have bigger issues then your device.

Android pay not working on Xiaomi Mi Mix

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.

Android Pay

Has anyone been able to get android pay working after flashing 8.0 firmware and rooting? If so could you talk through how you did it?

Just today a new magisk update was released which has allowed me to use Google pay . Anyone else who has been having issues and is using root (magisk) ensure you are using version 16
I OTA'd to 8.0 (I have the X4 Retail/Non-Fi version) and Android Pay is broken. It was working just fine on Nougat. Any pointers? TIA.

Are you using Magisk for your root? If not, that's what you need. So remove your other root method like SUPERSU or whatever, then use the systemless root like magisk.
It is working for me.

Thank you - I was considering Magisk, but I'm not rooted at all (I'm on stock, re-locked bootloader - I re-flashed stock after playing around with unlocking the bootloader, TWRP, etc.). Is it because of the re-flash? I am able to OTA successfully, but Root Checker says "CTS Profile Match: Failed" for Safety Net. I suspect that's the issue, but have no clue about solving it. Googling isn't much help either (all answers point to Magisk - I'm okay with that, if that's a guaranteed solution, as I'm dreading having to lose data when I unlock the bootloader to install TWRP and Magisk). I'm pretty certain I'm missing something as it looks as though I am one of the few whose Pay isn't working. I even tried the Fi ROM, with same problem (OTA works, but Pay doesn't. Same CTS Profile Match error). This issue is driving me insane (Everything else works great and I love this device!)

Going back to stock and relocking the bootloader should have google pay back up and running with no issues. If you are having issues, I would be concerned that the return to stock did not work. In any case, if you want to return to a rooted rom, you obviously need to unlock the bootloader and then just make sure you choose Magisk as your option for root. But for me personally, I would not go this route until you can get a factory rom with locked bootloader working again. Otherwise, even if you go the magisk route, it might not work due to your current situation.

The funny thing is that the re-flash was done using 7.1.1 stock ROM found here - https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/payton/official/RETAIL/ (I used the 26.83-34-0-1 and then OTA'd up to 8.0/March 2017 from there). Pay was working on 7.1.1. Right after the last 8.0 OTA, it broke. I used the standard fastboot flash and flashed all files in the right order. What stumps me is that there was no issue in 7.1.1... Only after OTA did it break. Can you point me to the ROM I should use just to make sure I didn't pick a bad one? (I tried so many in my attempt to solve this that I really need a second set of eyes to tell me if I'm going wrong somewhere).

PS: Also, is there a way I can start from a clean slate, I mean, phone ? Some way I can do a hard wipe and then flash stock? I'm sure something is mucked up currently, so a clean flash would be best.

Google pay not working after unroot

Hi I've been using a custom rom for quite some time now but I decided to go back to stock as I don't really see the benefits.
the issue I'm having is despite flashing a stock rom in Odin and seemingly completely unrooting the device, apps like google pay aren't allowing me to use them as they say the device has been rooted or modified in some way.
in the settings it clearly says my device is official status, does anyone know how to overcome this issue please? I prefer to use google pay to my cards as I often lose them if I take them out
thanks

well it was probably written in every thread when you downloaded twrp and followed the guide to root that this was going to happen. its pretty wide spread knowledge if you'd care to have investigate a bit before jumping ship. been like this for years and years so nothing new or "hidden".
reading goes a long way. even now if you'd have taken a minute to investigate you'd see the futility of what you want to accomplish. ( going to stock and expecting it to be as it once was before knox was tripped)
moreover there are guides on how to hide google pay and installing a version that does not detect root or a modified system.
search is your friend.
edit
there is one thing that i just though of that you might have forgotten to do and just might work though.
during the rooting/twrp process you had to go to dev options and toggle the OEM unlock.
go there and lock back OEM. this will wipe device so beware.
also when you fully flashed back the 4 md5 files with odin, was data wiped?
