Use GPay with bootloader unlocked - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I unlocked the bootloader, install few custom roms but i didnt like it. Today I backed to MIUI 10 1.2 Global (installing from TWRP, and after this installing dm verity) and I noticed that is not possible to use GPay if I dont install Magisk.
There is some way to keep the booloader unlocked and use google pay? I read I should not be a problem but I got it...
Thanks!

Install xiaomi.eu ROM.

Any rom in which Tez(Google Pay) is working?

I tried it and in any custom rom, Google Pay is not working. Magisk Hide is no use either.
Will it work in Xiaomi EU or even offciail Miui?
I don't want to flash fastboot miui and lock my bootloader. I am happy to live without root if it means I don't have to lock my bootloader.
Any help is appreciated.

Switch off telephone permission for Google play services before using Google pay. It will work. Its headache but that's a solution. Im talking about pie roms
I had LOS 14, now I have LOS 16 with magisk and on both Google Pay is working.
I'd like to recommend "openGapps" to you and just download a zip package specialized for your system and flash it via TWRP. Your system will not be rooted but you need to unlock fastboot though. Also, OTA update might be affected.

flashing eu rom

Hi i bought a Chinese version of k20 Pro with unlocked bootloader and indian rom installed. I've already got twrp and magisk installed. I use nfc a lot for payments and was wondering if i could just flash eu rom through twrp. Will it brick my phone?

Yes you can install it, no you won't brick the phone. Have a look at this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/k2...xiaomi-eu-rom-fix-gpay-t3946342/post79859363, the last part is for getting Gpay working, so may also be relevant for other banking apps that use NFC contactless payments.

I bought a Xiaomi MI8 with MI Account bypass, they gave it to me with XiaomiEu v11.0.8 installed and with the bootloader open, and I want to install v12.0.1, could it be installed via recovery on top of v11 or is it necessary to do Wipe? And when doing the wipes I lose the bypass?

Question Change MIUI region version and lock bootloader

Hi,
I have a Chinese Mi 11 Ultra. I have used the Mi flash tool to flash the EU based version of the ROM but I did not lock the bootloader. This has brought in some problems, such as GPay not working, which I dont really mind but the Mcdonalds app with the coupons also wont start up.
I am wondering, if I get the EU miui13 fastboot rom (original from Xiaomi), and use the mi flash tool to flash it, can I also lock the bootloader? Will it be fine or will it brick the device?
I believe this answers your question: https://c.mi.com/thread-2584760-1-1.html
The TLDR is you can only lock bootloader in China devices if you flash the China ROM. Some people claim to have successfully flashed China ROMs on Glogal phones and locked the bootloader without any issues but you'd be taking a risk.

do not close bootloader do not do it
you only close bootloader if your in CN version

Hi, Thanks for the answer. Guess I cant lock the bootloader then. Do you know of anyway to get the services working that require a locked bootloader? Iirc it's to so with safetynet but I cant remember if it was possible to overcome this with magisk. I havent been on the rooting scene for a long time so I didnt follow any updates

You don't need to...I use gpay and banking software whilst rooted and with mods installed.
Just install the universal safety net fix module for Magisk and systemless, click on zygisk as well.
Then you're done
Thanks for the replies guys but I really want a stock android with no root or mods. Just wanna know if I can relock the bootloader without bricking.
Thanks

If you have root right now. You need to go to magisk and tap unistall. Then full uninstall. Phone will reboot. Just to be safe. Then you can lock the bootloader.
