Android Pay and Root/Custom recovery - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I got Android Pay today and it looks like it will not work on a stock TOUCHWIZ ROM. Had anyone had any luck using it?
After taking a quick look at what it is needs to verify your phone I'm not sure if we'll ever work on a rooted device.

I've had no luck
I tried:
1.) rootcloak - fail after card setup
2.) no device check - failed before card setup
3.) disabling su - failed after card setup
Still no luck

I got it working, but am not rooted, using stock 5.1.1 on the T3 version. Used it at McDonald's today to get a drink. Works very well!

It works fine for me and i'm rooted. I just disabled SU within SuperSU and it let me set up my cards, and works like a charm.

Stock rom, N910T3

Running unofficial CM 12.1 and no dice, Work at Wholefoods and I have been using Wallet for a while now. Pretty annoyed that I can't even downgrade my google services and get the older Wallet NFC app and why did they decide to split it into 2 apps instead of just one?
Meh....

For the Note 4 (N910T), I had Tekxodus Rom URv5. Wouldn't work. Even tried disabling SU, Changing DPI, RootCloak, etc NO LUCK! However, i decided to get the stock rooted/debloated/deodexed rom - N910TUVU1COG2.
1. Backed up my current rom using TB.
2. Flash N910TUVU1COG2 rom (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347790828)
3. At first boot and setup, immediately disabled SU, and setup Lock Pin.
4. Installed Google Play Services 8.1.14_(2244331-238)-8114238-minAPI21.
5. Installed Android Pay 1.0.103131485
6. Open Android Pay and verified card.
7. Re-Enabled SU.
8. Restore Apps using TB.
Hope this helps.

The old wallet app works better and supports more cards

REAL bad experience with No Device Check (Xposed) on rooted N7100 Note 2, stock rom, 4.4.2.
Installed it, rebooted and immediately I noticed that all of my apps that require root had disappeared from not only the main screen but from the app drawer.
Thought that I would freeze it but Ti Backup wasn't there.
Went into App Manager and tried to uninstall but it would not uninstall.
Wanted to restart into recovery mode but the options were missing... just the option to restart which did not work. The phone would not restart.
Did a full shut down and restarted into recovery the conventional way and luckily got into TWRP and did a recovery. Thankfully I did a backup last night.
Before doing a recovery, I worked on the phone from a 99% charge down to 11%, so I spent some time with it.
One funny thing though, while going through all of this, I got an update to Android Pay and my camera app.
Right after that update, I opened AP and it wanted the code on the back of the card so I tapped the field and the keyboard didn't come up and that's when I decided to do the recovery from TWRP.
BTW, over the last few days I tried all of the above suggestions and none have worked but haven't tried them again after the update to Android Pay. I think that for the time being I'll just play it safe and whip out the plastic.

so basically you can't use a customized rom

Android pay is working. However I believe that may change with the next update of the Android pay app. Most likely not until the new year.

New busybox breaks wifi and cell service

FYI I installed the newest busybox and it broke wifi as well as cell reception. Won't recognize the sim. I found this post below as well... going to have to odin when I get home. i have the i957
- - - - -
just for the docs:If you installed Busybox on a rooted OneX with stock ROM, and removed some symlinks in /system/bin, make shure to keep /system/bin/insmod and /system/bin/chmod untouched or link it with /system/xbin/busybox (or wherever you installed busybox to).*If you don't, you phone will not prompt for the SIM PIN and will not show any network operator or signal.If the phone starts, the file /system/bin/poweron_modem_fls.sh gets executed. This file will call a binary named IMCdownload which has /system/bin/insmod hardcoded. If this insmod is nonexistent the IMCdownload will fail and /dev/ttyACM0 (the GSM modem terminal) does't get created.Next, gsm0710mux is called. This tool talks to /dev/ttyACM0. It tries to run /system/bin/chmod (even hardcoded). If this fails, the phone will not prompt for the SIM PIN even.It took me two days and a nearly bricked OneX to figure this out.Maybe its helpful so someone

Mine is broken also.
Hey guys, This isn't a problem with Busybox, It was a bug in my application.
The bug was present in version 8.0 I pathced the bug as fast as possible in 8.1 but a lot of people still got it because of caching issues.
What happened was that it symlinked all applets to busybox which means it overwrote some system applets that on some devices shouldnt be overwritten. I didn't catch this bug because my device was not affected by this.
To resolve this issue, simply reflash your current rom. You do not have to wipe any data.
When you reboot this should resolve the problem.
Again I want to apologize for this problem and annoyance.
Best Regards,
Stephen - Stericson
Thanks for the response!

I'm using the stock rom of Galaxy Tab 7.7, the latest version of Busybox break wifi, and I can't access Google Play, Gmail, I can't install or uninstall from within busybox, and the terminal emulator won't work neither. So i can't install new version, can't access to command line, can't get rid of the installed version.
The rom refreshing is troublesome, since I'm using the stock rom and stock recovery. Is there any simple fix for this situation???

I suppose you could find someone to adb pull the missing files and then push them manually?

Galaxy Tab 7.7 is not a popular device. Besides, I really don't know which file busybox touched.
Reflashing took ten minutes and all my apps are fine. Didn't have to do a seperate root like last time so that was nice. Aslo the bloatware was removed.

WiFi But No Mobile Network
I installed Busybox 1.20.1 and my WiFi still works fine but I have no mobile 3g network. I can call and text message fine also. Google Play and any other application requiring internet access only work while WiFi is enabled. Busybox 1.20.0 worked fine. I have a Casio Commando with a stock rom. I have tried uninstalling busybox but it fails every time, telling me the system will bootloop. I have tried unrooting with no luck also. What are my options to fix this?
What version of my app did you use to install Busybox? 8.0? Curiously if you were hit by the 8.0 bug you lost both.
The easiest way is just to reflash a stock rom. You should not have to wipe or lose any data.
Version 8.3
I've also read that the Casio Commando cannot be reflashed.
Did you change any of the smart install settings? If not, I'm a little unsure if the cause was Busybox.
The previous bug was caused by overwriting system applets that shouldnt be overwritten, that was fixed as of 8.1. so the only way it could overwrite something it shouldnt would be if you adjusted the pre-adjusted settings in smart install.
Have you tried a reboot to see if the issue persists after that? Or maybe a reinstall of Busybox? Maybe you got an incomplete install somehow?
Yeah, I tried all of that. I didn't change any settings either. It won't even let me use smart install anyway. I just used the regular install option. I waited for smart install to finish loading then installed 1.20.1 over 1.20.0 and then I had no mobile network. The 3g icon and bars show up and they're white but they're supposed to turn green. Mobile network settings look good too.
Maybe it's an issue with 1.20.1, Can you try rolling back to 1.20.0?
Yeah, I already installed 1.19.4, 1.19.3, and 1.20.0 after I installed 1.20.1. Right now it says BusyBox v1.19.3 is installed to /system/bin/
Can you run the command:
ls -l /system/bin
and show us the output?

TROUBLE Rom/Backups/safestrap/trouble

I have rooted my note 3 N900A with towelroot and installed safestrap v3.75 .
Everything seems to have installed correctly, when I check to see if I have root with root checker pro, it says I have root and that I have busybox installed as well.
When I go into safestraps/recovery and do a backup of my stock slot. Everything works for the backup. But then when I try to install a rom in any one of the slots it goes through the whole process just fine until the very end when it says in red fail.
It does the fail with every rom that I try to install. And if I try to do a restore in any slot with the backup that I made in the recovery it will fail as well.
So this just leaves me with having to use the stock slot with the original stock phone software.
Also when I try to install titanium backup on my phone that is saying it's rooted, The app won't work because it says that I don't have root. There was another app that would not work when I tried to instead it too because life the same reason. It said that I don't have root as well.
After trying to look for a solution to this, I found that there is an app that I could try to fix what has happened, called
SELinux Mode Changer
After I installed that app and tried to use it. The app made it look like it was working but really it was not doing anything. When I went into the phone info in settings, it still said that selinux was still enforcing.
Does anyone know if there is a solution to this? I would really like to be able to install a new rom on one of the other slots, heck ide settle for being able to put my stock backup on one of the other slots besides the stock slot.

I ran into a similar situation.. After wiping everything and then manually updating my stock to Kit Kat (MLG) I was then able to load custom roms in available slots. I used safestrap version 3.72 along with busy box. Also be sure to format the slot and wipe the cache and dalvik after installation.
The only ROM I am unable to install is Dynamic Kat xtreme. After loading that guy, the flash just fails.
UPDATE: I for unknown reasons to me, was able to successfully install one of my restore files to slot 1. Then after it reboots the phone acts as if it is restarting correctly, but ason as it gets past the safestrap logo with recovery/startup. It goes right into the phones recovery, and it keeps saying that it is installing "multiple csc or something.
Can someone help me with this?

After hitting rock bottom with many of the roms, I finally checked out my external sdcard and realized that it was having issues. After using a different card, I was then able to install all roms for testing.
I had to downgrade safe strap to 3.72 for it to work on my device.

For some strange reason everything stayed to work and I have no idea how..but I now have another problem the aliancerom that i installed on slot 1 works fine with the exception that the aliancerom that i installed won't let the wifi work. After i put in the info for the at&t 3g, The phone's 3g worked but the home wifi won't. Any ideas?

[Q] Thinking of rooting note att but have question

Is it possible to unroot after I have my phone rooted and will I still have phone calls/text/data?
Yes and yes

Thank you can you direct me to the how to root?
Towel root . Then install busybox and supersu .then open busybox and follow what it says .
Google it and it will give you everything you need to know . Its realy easy you should have any trouble but make sure you open busybox and use the install within it.

Do i need to back up? im already backing up stuff like texts settings and whatnot with kies 3 what about the stock rom?
I dont think there is a way to backup your rom until you root . After root install safestrap then you can backup your rom through it . What are you on kitkat or jb?
Sent from my SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
KitKat i already have the apk downloaded just making sure i do it right lol
Ok . Like i said run the apk install supersu and busybox grant permissions in supersu you must open busybox and let it run the install after all thats done then for giggles i would reboot to make sure everthing takes . Try titanium backup to back up your apps and data . Then if you want to go further download safestrap 3.75 and open it and install it then reboot and you should be good . Search youtube for safestrap and watch the videos before you do it it will help alot cause thats where you can destroy your phone if you dont know what yoir doing its also where you can backup your rom .
Sent from my SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
alright im letting it backup before i start but i have rooted a nook into android and modded a psp so i do know what to do as long i have insrtuctions
What helped me the most was i youtubed everthing before i did it and it realy helped me alot .everything your trying to do is on you tube if you want to watch it first .you can read this forum but it might take you a month to find the answer you want but the info is here.

Are you rooted? It is known not to work on rooted devices with the latest update. Strange I know...
You might want to try the older apk.

Yes, but it was working before, restored from a backup I created backup before installing, restored wallet and it says that I need to setup pay, no luck

Found a workaround and it's working again, go to your superuser app and temporary unroot, complete the setup and reactivate root, it's working for me again
Looks like we're out of luck being rooted... Thanks google

Galaxy S6 Edge and Gear VR not working

Hi, maybe someone in here can help me. I just received a Gear vr and I can not get it to work. I am on a custom rom on the sprint network. Here is what happens:
I plug it in and it says to unplug it to install the software. It installs some software and I go to install let's say 'Oculus 360 photos' and at the end a message pops up saying 'unable to install oculus 360 photos'. I pull down the status bar and click on the failure and it says I have to update the software. I update it and it looks like I'd downloads something but never actually updates. That's where I am. Nothing installs, nothing works. Pretty frustrating...

I had the same problem. Went back to stock and it works great. Maybe today I'll root my phone and stay on stock to see if it's a kernel issue. If I do I'll update you.
You probably do not have the required Facebook apps on your ROM. You need at least com.facebook.system and com.facebook.appmanager.

No problem with being rooted. Custom ROM 100% the case. You need a stock-based TW kernel and therefore stock TW rom with the VR update built-in

Thanks for the update. I think that's my problem. I don't think there is a rooted stock based kernel on Sprint.
Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk 2
It's not the kernel. Finally just installed the newest v9 kernel and rooted my phone. I suggest maybe starting with stock, install the vr software and run once then root. Soon I'll install the newest renegade full rom and see what that does.
It's not the rom either. I may be telling you to do more than you have to but maybe just go to stock, get vr apps then root and clean install full rom. Everything is great for me.
Hey, Did you guys solved it?? I have the same problem

I solved it. (More or less...)
Edit the file is downloading in the folder "Download" of your cell phone BEFORE it finish. For a reason that I DON´T understand, the software delete this file once it is completed, instead to install it. When you edit the name in the meantime is downloading, you impide it. Then, rename it back to .apk (if not it will keep as ".apk_downloading so you can´t install it), and install it manually.
It finally works.
Does anyone knows how could I impide the file gets deleted? I don´t mind if I have to install it manually, as long as I can. So far, when the app is not very big, I have to be VERY fast in the editing..., or I will not be able to do it.
Im curious, oculus vr worked flawlessly, unil i installed "package disabler pro" and removed "bloat".
I have read that facebook apps are required (rediculous... F*+-ing facebook bulls&*#@.)
Bit is anyone aware of what "bloat is required for functionality?

Hello,
I had the same kind of issue on my note 4: update & install of the essential apps were always failing (photos 360, videos, videos 360).
I managed to update by renaming the downloaded file before it got deleted, but I had to do the same operation for all apps then install them manually before I could access the Oculus store.
I wonder why installs fail like that. I rooted the phone with cf-auto-root to be able to use my PS3 controller wirelessly. Maybe it is becuse the kernel is slightly modified for root?
EDIT: Also it seems I will need to use the same method for all installation I do from the oculus store! I really want to fix this. I'll probably try unrooting...

If the phone is rooted, it will not work. No matter how you install the apps, it will never open oculus.
I had to unroot, and it worked again (installing apps manually, as I explained before). Once rooted again, I even tried to substitute the kernel for the original one. That allowed me to enter in Oculus, but the VR never worked. I had to unroot again.
Does anyone know how to impide it delete the apk file automatically? At least that would help.
Finally got into the process and sign into oculus app
Hi guys,
I finally succeeded in getting the download process working:
- log the samsung app output with logcat via adb
- click on install button of the Gear Vr configuration wizzard
- catch the called urls on logcat and copy/paste them on your browser to download the APKs
( for me : prePost_20160128024220687.apk
prePost_20160128024344077.apk
prePost_20160330073402086.apk
prePost_20160330073501789.apk
prePost_20160330073641987.apk
prePost_20160330073735750.apk)
- install them in the order the urls were called ( adb install -r prePost_20160128024344077.apk )
- on the device, stop the download using the cross
- click the install button again
The download should now be successful.
