I upgraded from Google Wallet to Android Pay for NFC payments today and when I set up my card it gives me the error "Android Pay cannot be used Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible" (yes, "Android," not "Android Pay"). Is anybody else running into this? Trying to narrow to down whether this an incompatibility with CyanogenMod in particular or the phone being rooted/ROMed at all.
I'm on stock rooted of1 and getting same thing. I think it's root that's the problem from what I have been gathering off the internet.

You're right, you cannot use Google pay with a rooted phone, I heard that there is an xposed module that hides root so that it be used.

I was able to disable su in super user app then add card and it worked. Then I enabled su again. Still working but haven't tested at store yet. Not sure if disable is available in free su app as I have the paid app.

Hi, I actually haven't rooted my S3 yet but in updating to jelly bean Barclays is convinced that I have!
Anyway imo they have a totally arbitrary and blinkered approach to security so I'm ditching them.
What I'd like to know is your experiences of bank apps and if they work with rooted handsets (i plan to root in the future).
I have the HSBC app which works but is limited to giving mini statements only.
Ideally I'd like an app that is as fully featured as possible, allowing transfers and the like. I've heard that Halifax offer this but I can't find info if it works with root.
Any experiences would be a great help and much appreciated. Thanks

I have as well barclays and hsbc ? have you found anything by now about Halifax? Although i don't like barclays from the same reason (I had an unrooted s3 and note 3 and several times they where saying there rooted), i heard barclays has good security.

You can check out the Xposed Framework and the RootCloak module to see what apps are supported to hide that you are rooted.
It's not just the UK. Most banking apps won't work when rooted for me either and the xposed mod doesn't help with either of them.
[email protected] Barclays email support! I suggest to send them as many emails as possible from customers who want rooted devices support!

There is a reason they dont work. Rooted devices are not as secure as non rooted devices. This is why they refuse to allow rooted devices to work with the app.
I can understand that but a windows computer you can consider it more dangerous and there you have root access.

If you look deeper no you dont. In most windows you are not even marked as the owner by default. That is why you have o run some programs with admin rights.
Plus Root can be exploited without you even knowing, There was once a glitch found with root that an app could be granted root access without you even knowing. IT would not even popup the root request but it would be granted root rights with no trace.
I don't want to create a debate or anything.... We are getting of topic anyway.
Now on the topic itself...
Hsbc app works good on rooted phones. From what I know barclays is the only uk bank app that does not work on rooted devices!
Halifax and Systemless root
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 rooted. Up until now, the Halifax Banking App has always worked since the rooting method I used with "systemless". In the latest update of the app, it is now telling me that I am rooted. Anyone found a way round this please?
I run both a rooted phone and tablet in the UK. Santander does not run after their latest update. Most are starting to use the Google safety net API so I would expect HSBC to block soon (they are just a bit slow). The only one I know that actively recognises root and let's you carry on is First Direct.
The irony is I can run them all on an ancient phone on 5.1 cos it's not rooted only missing 3 years security patches!!!
I've seen that people have this working for various phones (like the HTC One). Does anyone here have it working on the Verizon S4? If so, which rom are you using?
I'm using a TW 4.3 build and I keep getting flagged.

When you say flagged, you mean by Good? I'm assuming your Good admin?
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk
i tried this with the note3 and it didnt work. not exactly the same as the s4, but pretty close. Good for Enterprise has it locked down pretty good
Yes, I meant that I was flagged by Good for being rooted. No, I'm not an admin, so I have to be careful with how many times I fail and have to request a new pin. People are definitely getting it working on other phones.

It's working now! I'm using this Google Edition 4.4 rom. After it failed again with RootCloaker and the revoked permissions mentioned in the thread, I installed the Xposed module here. (I left RootCloaker and the revoked permissions in place, but I'm not sure if that was necessary.) I'm now able to use GFE on my rooted phone without any "compliance violation".
Anybody know a way to get the Isis wallet to work on my rooted DNA, I've tried to temp unroot and root cloaking but it still detects the device as rooted. Only reason I care is Verizon just gave me $40 on it for signing up and I just want to use that and then delete but it don't play well with rooted phones.

Delete the root files? Sorry I don't know which files they are, can you give me a quick run through on that.
Hey guys, I was just wondering if maybe anybody over here could help us get root on the new Samsung galaxy avant. Or even give us some pointers on how to obtain root on the device.
I can try to pull any files that are needed and help out any way I can.
Any words of wisdom would be nice, or to tell me to get out of here. That works too. Just needing some more experienced people to help out if at all possible. Thanks ?
I'm trying to get the same info. Just got my Avant and am so used to running custom roms in my other phones. Still have my build from the collective on my S2 but it's about to die and I will get a new S5. But I can't deal with the bloat ware and not having control of my phone. I've had it 24 hours and I'm about to throw it against the wall because all the junk apps and settings. Other than that it might be a good phone .

Hey planterz, thanks.
Do you know if anyone has even started on this phone or is it too new?
I'm sure there is some kit Kat development going on though , right?

If you read through that thread, then you know as much as I do, sorry to say. I've been checking other forums as well. The Avant has KNOX, as well as Qualcomm Secureboot. For whatever reason, T-Mobile has locked this device down hard. Nothing is impossible, of course (look at the AT&T/Verizon Note 3/GS5 and Towelroot - which unfortunately doesn't work on the Avant), but it might take some time to find root for the Avant, and maybe even longer for a way that doesn't void your warranty and/or permanently prevent updates.
Yeah, I posted this somewhere else trying to get some people interested but guess it got moved.
if you were still looking..

Yeah we have it sorted out on the other thread for this. Linked in the above comments
Now that we have root, what's next?
Hi, my Avant is the first phone I've been compelled to root. I had done some research, picked up a few apps that were recommended (i.e. AdFree), using a different launcher, etc..
It's been a great step forward, and now I'm hunting for the next step. Going into ROM Toolbox and deleting everything that looks unnecessary or bloatesque seems like a great way to brick the phone. Is there any way to determine what can be eliminated without catastrophe, or a list of egregious resource hording apps?
When it come to deleting apps I don't think it's possible to brick the phone. You can pretty much delete any app you want and replace it with a third party one. I've removed everything except the launcher, messages, phone, the tmobile app (since I pay my bill through it) etc etc. Just use root Uninstaller and back up any app you might think could cause a problem.

I currently own this device and am liking it except for the fact that it overheats and the battery life is horrible. Is there a fix
You can root it by using towel root and then after rooting you can download set cpu app from playstore which can increase batterylife or you can increase your phones performance.
Hope it helps!!!!:thumbup:

No you can not. Towel root doesn't work for the avant. Last time I checked anyways.
Easiest way to root it is flash twrp using odin, then flash the newest supersu.zip in twrp.
I'm new
I'm a brand new to all of this and I have a Galaxy Avant that I want to root. I've read thru the threads and am still confused. I can't use towelroot.com on this phone and the apps for rooting in the app store don't work. Do I have to root using a pc or can I do it without one? How??
Anyone know if the my Verizon Mobile app is still asking for root. I quit using it cause I was suspicious but would like to use it again to monitor data and pay bill.
I don't think so, I side loaded what I think is the latest version and it didn't ask for root.

The code for root check is still in the apk.
Darn. Anyone know why I'm assuming to find something out to use against their users
They just want to know when you void your warranty. You might want to try xprivacy its able to take permissions away from apps.
I wonder if denying root is the same as no root to the app
Does anyone have the last apk before it started asking for root
