[Discussion] Google Pay Magisk Discussion Thread

[Didgeridoohan]

This thread is inspired by the PoGo Magisk discussion thread. It's meant to keep the clutter of "Google Pay doesn't work" posts out of the main Magisk threads.

Please use this to discuss issues with Google Pay and possible solutions.

There's a working solution here:

Hoping solution is coming soon.

My GPay suddenly stopped working in the last few days. Didn't update/install anything, but possible GPay updated itself in the background.

Specs as follows:
OnePlus 6T, OOS9.0.7 rooted
Magisk v18.1, Magisk Manager v7.0.0(185)
Magisk hide: Google Seach, Google Pay, Google Play Store, Pokemon Go
Magisk Manager package hidden/repackaged

Any solution would be greatly appreciated..

Same on my OnePlus 6T.
Probably a coincidence, but the only thing I did between when it worked and when it stopped working was that I installed the Google Dialer Framework module, the Google Phone and Contacts app from apkmirror and then remove them.

The new Google Play services update caused this.

Temporary workaround:

1. Disable Google Pay/Find My Device as Device Administrators in Settings > Security & location > Device Administrators.

2. Search "Google Play services" in the Settings search bar.

3. Press the three dots and press "Uninstall previous updates".

4. Download this update - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-14-7-99-release/
Pick your needed edition (arm or arm64, etc.), download it and install it.

5. Disable Background data access for Google Play Services and Google Play in their respective App Info pages.

6. Download Google Pay from the Play Store.

7. Set up your cards. Enjoy!

Never EVER update Google Play services manually, until a Magisk update is available that bypasses the upgraded SafetyNet. Note that Google Play services is responsible for adding/verifying the card, not the Google Pay app! Hence why there seems to be an overlay when adding a card/verifying an existing one.

Tested Google Pay versions:

2.79.x-2.83.235070858 - working

Tested Google Play services versions:

14.7.99, 16.0.86 - working with Magisk 18.1

14.8.49-16.x- working with Magisk 18.2 Canary

Confirming that as a working solution. Thanks for that. Will disabling background data prevent Play Services from updating itself?

Only downside to this is losing the cards and having to re-add them to Google Pay. It's not a big deal for credit cards, but I have a bunch of store loyalty cards that I added and threw away (or lost) the physical cards.

Thank you! This has been bugging me for ages now. Super frustrating to not have contactless working. And the fix was so simple! Cheers.

Yep, but check once in a while to see.

I haven't lost any of my loyalty cards. Did you reset your Google Play Services data by accident?

I dont have an option to uninstall old updates from play services. Any idea?
there are no 3 dots on my screen

 

[rogeriskira]

I'm using Magisk 18.1 with Magisk manager 7.0. I noticed another workaround is using Magisk in core only mode. Which doesn't let us use our modules. I'm hoping whatever they did to fix it in the canary builds gets added in the next stable build.

pixel 3 xl, stock rom, february security patch level, using latest magisk canary.
play store services 15.0.90 installed, uninstalling updates won't lower the version, downgrade doesn't seem to be possible.

I didn't have to do anything but the steps to downgrade play services. I just went back into the Google play app and trapped in my credit cards and added the security code and it added them just fine. No need to remove existing cards or the pay app and start from scratch.

Interesting. I can confirm that it won't allow you to uninstall updates. The following should work (I have NOT tested this).

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF THE DATA PARTITION BEFORE STARTING!

Download the app from apk mirror. Turn on airplane mode.

In a terminal emulator, as root, run the following.

rm -rf /data/app/com.google.android.gms* /data/data/com.google.android.gms /data/user_de/0/com.google.android.gms

Reboot the phone
Install the downloaded apk
Turn off background data etc

Turn off airplane mode
Profit!

I used Titanium Backup to freeze the Play Services on my Pixel 3 Xl. While they were deactivated, I was able to uninstall updates and downgrade to the working version.

 

[Nothing4You]

Titanium Backup to freeze the Play Services

this worked for me aswell, after that i was able to add cards/paypal again.

 

[bot_rosco]

Does anyone know how to get around the issue where you get spammed with play services needs to be updated to use play services after the downgrade.
