It would. However, it's possible that your phone will never go into "deep sleep" again if you have a completely stock device with KNOX tripped (due to a bug in the samsung kernel.)

The bug is easily worked around if your device is rooted or has a custom kernel.

With all this, it's still possible to have an "almost stock" device that's rooted "part time" and android pay will work (I will not support this. Hopefully one of your RC's will grab this and walk people through difficulties they experience. I don't use a ''T" variant myself and don't monitor these threads frequently:

Restore the device via ODIN to stock. Boot the device normally and get things configured.

Install TWRP via ODIN (and remove the ODIN option to reboot the device after flashing)

Manually reboot after ODIN is done and IMMEDIATELY boot into TWRP. (Not sure about the "T" variant, but some Note5 variants will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery if they boot normally and TWRP is installed.)

From TWRP, either get an adb shell or run the following command via TWRP's advanced->terminal command:

echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu

From within TWRP, after the above step is performed, install SuperSU 2.67. That will install a systemless root, and perform steps for working around the deep sleep bug.

Reboot the phone. It's now rooted and android pay won't work.... In additional, a few video apps won't work (such as netflix.) To deal with the video issue, install a root capable file explorer and delete (not rename) /system/lib/liboemcrypto.so.

Reboot again without the liboemcrypto.so.

Now, when you want to use android pay, you have to disable superuser (Go into the supersu app and uncheck the box for enabling superuser) and then reboot with superuser disabled. if you haven't rebooted with superuser disabled, android pay won't work. If supersu complains about updating a supersu binary, ignore it.

I'd suggest leaving the device in a state with superuser disabled. When you need to do something that requires root, re-enable superuser, ignore the update message from supersu, and do whatever you need... and then disable superuser again.

Xposed, as always, will cripple android pay.

Be careful modifying or changing system files. Many of the changes will cause "safetynet" (the security used by android pay) to fail.

If you have something that requires superuser ALWAYS be enabled, this obviously won't work for you. If you only need root to do some minor changes (like override properties on bootup, make CSC changes, etc) then this method is fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
I appreciate the write up, the no deep sleep thing is a for sure issue? That sucks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
Wow. Did you REALLY have to quote my ENTIRE post? Do you realize how annoying that is to read from a mobile device? Do you know you can edit the quote (to trim it down) in tapatalk when replying?

Anyway, the "no deep sleep" thing - I'm guessing that you're referring to the "However, it's possible that your phone will never go into "deep sleep" again if you have a completely stock device with KNOX tripped " line in my message. (You could have made that clear by editing down the quote to only include that sentence.)

If so, it is true with "C" and "I" variant devices once KNOX is tripped. I can't confirm it with the "T" variant (as I don't have one), but it would be consistent with the other devices. That's why I typed "It's possible.."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pcriz:
Yes, really I did. The edit button in my Tapatalk app causes the app to FC for me since the last update, but then again why am I explaining myself. Keep your advice, not only does my debit card work since buying the Note 5, it seems to work even better since the last security update /s. Not to mention your level of smug makes it a little hard to digest anything worth while from that post. Cheers compadre.

Hi colleagues,

I have a Galaxy S3 and I updated it to android 6, but not I can't install google play store and google play services. Could you help me??

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L3R0N:
I assume you haven't flashed the GApps package. Find it here. Select 6.0 and the package you want...I prefer pico cause its the smallest package with just the core files needed. But its up to you to choose.
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
***THIS GUIDE DOES NOT WORK. THIS SIMPLY ALLOWS CARDS TO BE ADDED TO ANDROID PAY. PAYMENTS WILL NOT PROCESS. THIS IS A WORK IN PROCESS.***

Unfortunately us rooted users are unable to use Samsung Pay. Samsung Pay is superior to Android Pay due to its MST feature which allows the use of any card reader to take payments from the phone. Samsung Pay as of this time doesn't support a lot of cards, So Android Pay is a great backup. Just as Samsung tries to stop rooted users from using Samsung Pay, Google tries to stop them as well by blocking Android Pay. This guide will show you how to get around that.

1.) You need a non rooted phone to start.

You can either flash your Note 5 completely back to stock, or use another phone to do it. Whichever phone you use MUST be able to be rooted or this will not work. This guide will assume you will use a second device to setup Android Pay, as I did, so that you don't have to wipe your Note. If you use your Note 5 to do this, just modify the guide as needed.

2.) Download the Android Pay app from the Playstore to your non-rooted phone

3.) Setup Android Pay application fully with all your bank cards and info

4.) Force close Android Pay app

5.) Root the device

6.) Install Titanium Backup

7.) Make a backup of the Android Pay app using Titanium Backup

8.) Move the Titanium Backup folder to either a computer or OTG drive

- If you only backed up Android Pay, there should be 3 files inside of the folder.

9.) Move your Titanium Backup folder to your rooted Note 5

10.) On the Note 5 download and install Titanium Backup

11.) Open Titanium Backup and select: menu - preferences - backup folder location

- Point the backup folder location to wherever you moved the Titanium backup folder to on the phone.

12.) Close and reopen Titanium Backup if it does not automatically do this when you exit settings

13.) Select menu again and then "batch actions"

14.) Select restore missing apps with data

- Android Pay should be the only app being restored

15.) After the app is restored, DO NOT OPEN IT.

16.) Open the superSU app and select: settings - "Enable Superuser" (uncheck the box) and let it finish

17.) Reboot

18.) When the phone boots up, open Android Pay and set it up as normal

19.) Open the superSU app and select: settings - "Enable Superuser" (check the box) and let it finish

20.) Reboot

21.) Done.
[Galaxy Note5 General] timeToy:
I do not think it'll work when making a purchase...

You can install "cigital safety net playground" from the play store to test if the state of your phone will allow it to pass Android Pay verification.

I my experience (I was using Android Pay on a rooted Moto X 2015), the only way to get Android pay to work with root, is to use Chainfire's systemless root and NOT to modify anything "major" in the system (host file and minor files edit are okay, replacing or adding a system app breaks it)
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
Hmm, the app says failed. I will test the pay function right now. I just need to run to the store.
[Galaxy Note5 General] timeToy:
Yup... no surprises there.

Now try this:

- Back to stock, unlocked bootloader

- Install and setup your cards in Android pay

- Install TWRP or any custom recovery

- Try rooting with the latest systemless root (you may have to force a systemless install by typing "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" on shell before install the zip in TWRP)

- Remove the folder "/su/xbin_bind" and reboot for Android pay compatibility

- Try "Cigital safety net playground" it should pass.
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
Isn't systemless for android 6.0+ only and the kernel has to support it? I have it on my nexus but didn't think it was possible on the note.
[Galaxy Note5 General] timeToy:
From the man himself in the linked thread: "If on Android 6.0 or Samsung 5.1, the ZIP installer will install SuperSU in systemless mode and patch the boot image (...)"
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
This is amazing news and will be implementing this immediately.
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
Yup it failed at the card swiper.

Booted to CWM and flashed "unsu.zip" which removed all superuser from the phone. Then flashed beta 2.61 because they say it's the last working version for Android Pay. I rebooted from CWM and chose not to install root. When it Booted the phone was not rooted. I don't have a folder in /data. Supersu says this when I open it:
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
Wiped everything and reflashed my rom and still doesn't work. I am getting this error in CWM after flashing the superSU zip:

- Extracting ramdisk

--- Failure, aborting

I'm going to Odin back to stock and try again.
[Galaxy Note5 General] timeToy:
About the ramdisk issue, make sure you have the stock kernel and use the latest version v2.65, it fixed a lot of compatibility issues. To enable Android pay compatibility on v2.65 you need to delete the folder "/su/xbin_bind" and reboot.

I am not yet able to test this (waiting for my Samsung promos to go trough before messing up with KNOX), but Chainfire's himself is reporting it working:
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
I got systemless root installed.

My kernel (Arter) wasn't compatible with the systemless flash and that was causing the error. Had to switch back to ext4 and flash a modified stock kernel to get it to work.

Now here's the problem. You can't flash a custom rom without a custom recovery and you can't boot with a custom recovery unless you have a modified kernel. So that means you need a kernel and recovery at minimum if you want a custom rom. Once you install those 3 android pay fails to work again.

The only way I can get it to work is totally stock. That's boring. I need at least a custom rom. I was thinking that maybe I can flash my rom, flash unsu.zip, my kernel, and then somehow Odin my stock recovery back. Then setup android pay, then reboot and go back to a custom recovery to flash root.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
Flashed stock recovery and rebooted. Android pay still didn't work. Rebooted and flashed stock kernel and now it hangs on the first splash screen lol

Back to the drawing board. Going to ODIN back to stock and try different kernels I guess.
[Galaxy Note5 General] timeToy:
Android pay will ONLY work with a 99.9% stock system partition. (no custom ROM that I know of)

Maybe this can work:

- Back to 100% Stock

- Install custom kernel and custom recovery

- Reboot into recovery, then install stock Kernel, no reboot, then flash systemless root, no reboot, then flash back stock recovery, then reboot.

That should get you systemless root with Android pay. No ability for full ROMs but the ability to run an Ad Block and disable the bloat...
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
My rom is a stock deodexed, debloated rom. I am trying something, well two things, that may get me working. Otherwise I am confident that I can get a stock rom, debloated myself, systemless root, custom kernel, xposed, and android pay all working. I can live with that. I will update my guide when I make it happen.

So far the things to remember is that systemless root needs a certain kernel format to be able to flash, and android pay needs certain things in the rom to be present or it wont work. I know the chroma rom for nexus devices has working android pay with systemless and its heavily modified. I doubt the dev will share how he did it though :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
Didn't work. Can't get any modified rom to work. I just booted two different roms with a stock kernel and stock recovery and it failed the safetynet check. Wiped all and am reflashing stock as I write this and will do it one step at a time to see what causes the safety check to fail.
[Galaxy Note5 General] seh6183:
Flashed a stock rom with ODIN and booted. It passed safety check. Flashed CWM recovery and it passed. As soon as I flashed a custom kernel it failed the check and I haven't even gotten to the rooting part yet. As of right now I don't want to give up a rom AND a kernel simply for android pay. I will be updating this guide to have the mods take it down.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirles:
I just upgraded my old HTC M7 to the new A9 and want to use my old phone as a media player (for workouts). Anyone know of a good ROM that I could flash which would remove the carrier radio all together and pretty much make it a media player? I am trying to make it so that it has the longest possible battery life, while also having built in media enhancements for good sound quality. I know that I COULD turn off mobile data and strictly use Wi-Fi, but I was just wondering if there was a ROM already pre-built which would accomplish what I want. Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucidstate:
I've got a number of Moto G that have been working fine for months. Suddenly, one of them is constantly having apps crash. I'm talking literally every second. As fast as I can close the crash notification popup another one pops up for another app. android.process.acore, com, com.google.process.gapps, dozens of others. A reboot will fix it for a few minutes, but then it goes on a frenzy again. I've tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache with clockworkmod recovery. I've tried uninstalling updates for google play services. I unfortunately don't have a backup created for this device. I would try to factory reset, but the last time I tried factory resetting a rooted Moto G through the android interface it bootlooped. If I can't fix this, is there a way in clockworkmod recovery to "reset" back to just after I rooted the phone? If not, I may be able to copy over a backup from a similar phone, but I'm not sure if that would work.

EDIT: I think this phone might have just **** the bed. Bootloops when trying to turn on normally (unlocked bootloader warning screen, then motorola spinning world graphic, then off). Volume Down + Power in off state does nothing so I can't even get into the bootloader.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3yf5g:
Purchased as a Christmas gift a couple of weeks ago and worked great out of the box. It was put on the charger at the end of the day to charge. Next day come back to the tablet only to find it will not power on.

Tablet gives no indication that is plugged into the original charger. Pressing and holding the power and volume up to try and access the bootloader provided no response.

Calling this one bricked unless anyone else has thoughts or suggestions. Have seen this with other Android devices in the past but where going on 3 years old. This guy is only a couple weeks old. 1 day powered on even.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul1201:
Can you try a different charger? How much battery was left when you put it on the charger?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3yf5g:
Couldn't say what the battery percentage was at, it wasn't dead though. I was given the tablet back to try and troubleshoot and only have as much info as I was given.

As for the charger, this is my one and only USB Type C device and only have the original charger it came with. I was told however that a type c cable was used from a laptop to see if anything worked. No response I am told.

Have a few days to wait until I can RMA it. I will see if I can source another power adapter.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkryder:
there are many [upwards of 20 or so] reports that it takes between 15 and 20 seconds of holding power button down to power up the device. i have had it happen twice. the largest thread for this issue i have read is on reddit.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennyboy_84:
I've had it happened to me twice on my first unit and twice on my RMA'd one now. Every time it happened it was after leaving the tablet unattended for several (12+) hours, regardless of battery % (anywhere between 10 and 60%). I never turn it off to make sure I don't get the touchscreen issues again as these come back everytime I reboot the tablet but when this happens there isin't much I can do as it turns off by itself. I can confirm that a very long push of the power button (agree with the 15-20 seconds mentionned above) also does the trick for me. Same pattern on my first unit and my 2nd one.

I'm realllllly hoping Google will have a software fix for all of this (touchscreen issues, awful Wi-Fi download speeds/range on 2.4 Ghz and this (tablet going dead without any apparent reason and being hard to reboot)) as I want to love the tablet but it's a mess right now.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3yf5g:
Thanks for the reports.

I held down the power button till my finger went numb. Still don't know if the tablet has a charge and if the charger even works.

Same thing happened with my GPe htc one. Charged, freaked out, rebooted and then bricked never to come back to life.

Would have been nice to have found reports of issues before. Every search brings up reviews however. Hopefully this thread gets indexed.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buurmas:
Don't know if this is related: I've had the tablet for about two weeks and have twice had it not turn on (or respond at all) when I pressed the power button (short press, long press--although possibly not >15s). Even though I thought there was well over 50% battery left and even though though tapping under the cute LEDs showed four greens, I plugged it in and just left it for hours. Then when I came back, everything was fine--it turned on immediately.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RadOD1:
I know this is old thread, but though this might help someone: my pixel c won't charge unless I

1) with the device plugged in

2) hold power-vol up-vol dn all at the same time

3) un plug the cable

Can be hard to do with only two hands. "Charging" will pop up on the screen immediately for just a second when you pull the cable if you did it right. I often need to do it more than once. Thanks Google!

[T-Mobile LG G4] jamesvmccann:
Shopping around for a new phone, and I require one with an easily replaceable battery, so this is one of the few on my list. Is this phone able to be rooted? Is the bootloader locked? Can I install custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP? I am coming from verizon, so I imagine some of you can feel my pain. I have heard tmobile isn't nearly as restrictive, just want to make sure I can do what I want with the phone before I purchase it. Thanks for the help!

James
[T-Mobile LG G4] Vseprz:
The T-Mobile variant is able to rooted, the bootloader is able to be unlocked, and a custom recovery (twrp) is available.
[T-Mobile LG G4] thevmax:
YES, however you will probably not be able to SIM Unlock the T-Mobile LG G4 H811 and end up being stuck with using them as your carrier.

Look this up on XDA and you will see MANY OF US complaining about the phone not being able to be used with other carriers.

Also, if you receive the phone and it has H81110h firmware, the phone will update to H81110n. Then if you ever try to go back to

Ha1110h, you will brick your phone and have to send it in to LG to get fixed. You will wait 2 weeks for them to fix it.

AND some of us have had the phone update on it's own and cause it to be bricked. So you will have your hands full if you buy one.
