[Discussion] Google Pay Magisk Discussion Thread

Use zygisk it's no so limited in the way it works, and you really didn't read why I told them to. xxxxxxx
Mod Edit: Post edited.

im merely clearing up some disinformation, which youre spreading...its also misinformation others have tried to stop being spread many times in the past, whenever they see it

ive mentioned twice now that the magisk dev will tell you exactly the same thing, only enable hiding on a very granular level.

and theres this:

Make sure that the app in question is selected in the Hide list (Under MagiskHide in the Magisk app). But, don't go crazy... Only add those apps that actually detect root. If you add too many unnecessary apps and processes you will very likely experience system instabilities (also see "System instabilities")

from: https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHideHidingRoot

for instance, have a look at my Google Pay Magisk Module, the script only hides whats absolutely necessary. Its been downloaded 35,000 times...which should tell you that the very limited hiding it does, works...

com.google.android.gsf_com.google.process.gapps
com.google.android.gsf_com.google.process.gservices
com.google.android.gms
com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel'

thats 4 packages

and for newer zygisk denylist...3

com.google.android.gsf_com.google.process.gapps
com.google.android.gsf_com.google.process.gservices
com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel

As said many times almost every issue with Google Pay not working has been resolved by making sure SafetyNet passes, and clearing the data of Google Play Store, Google Play Services and Google Pay....not by adding every Google app to MagiskHide/Deny List

When I try to configure the deny list and check Google Play Services, it doesn't stay checked after a reboot. I cannot pass sn because of this. Anyone know why it won't stay checked after a reboot?

What is the point of a hide feature if it is so limited that you can't use it. Does not hurt anything and works fine.

Well it can...

Its use should definitely be limited in traditional Magisk as hiding more than a few apps / processes makes the system unstable due to restrictions on the hide daemon's passive reaction speed (to app processes). Also Webview and more are broken by indiscriminate hiding of Chrome and other Google apps / processes... Nb

Also, John did much debugging w/ early MagiakHide just to make it useable (see 'More on timing issues here also' link and John's general rule from here:
- https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-general-support-discussion.3432382/post-84868359

Nb. The hiding elements retained by denyist may well have changed, ie hijacking app_process (Zygote) rather than simply monitoring these passively may now be used / possible with Zygisk and be faster / not face this restriction any longer. However I haven't checked code for this nor am I aware of comments by John about changes to the mechanism used here. Someone may know more...

Currently with new safety net patch from kdragon you don't need to mess with props and only need to hide play services playstore and gpay. I posted all bc before this other Google app would stop it from working and this was so it worked regardless for the people who don't know how to test for 3 hrs.

Just to qualify this, those using stock or custom ROMs that spoof certified (use a certified fingerprint matched to security patch date) won't need MHPC, but many custom ROM users, eg all official LineageOS (except where fingerprint / patch dates match before any update that bumps up security level) users, as well as those with uncertified stock ROMs (China region etc) will need to spoof certified by using a working fingerprint.

Yup, @kdrag0n's Zygisk solutions remove these from denylist as USNF hides these itself so as to better target Play Services only... explanation in USNF GitHub...

Your failing S/N has a different explanation...

Nb. to pass with MagiskHide we need SafetyNet process, com.google.android.gms.unstable in hidelist where Magisk is in /sbin. For Android 11+ etc (assuming Magisk is not in /sbin), main process, com.google.android.gms needs adding also. However, MagiskHide adds these automatically when toggling ON...

Nb. 2 Only these processes need to be / should be hidden to pass Safety net... PW

Has anyone lost the Google Pay cards from the power menu? I updated Magisk when prompted (I don't know why, everything worked fine) and then of course my cards were all not able to be used for contactless payment.
I've enabled zygote, hidden gms and banking etc, added safetynet and props hide, cleared cache and data from play, pay, services, ran the latest gpay and added my cards successfully.
Everything appears good, Play Store says certified etc but for the life of me the option to enable cards on the power menu is gone and i'm not sure if i've done something whacky. Any ideas or suggestions greatly welcome!
Pixel 2 XL on last build/security patch running Magisk version whatever came out yesterday.
Thanks!

I could delete the post but in case someone else finds it useful... My cards are back on the power menu after leaving it for a few hours.
Clearing the Pay data didn't do anything at the time but now it looks like all my cards have gone bar the primary one I actually removed and added during the gpay sqlite module installation. I've added the second card and afterpay with no issues.

Not sure what the winning combo is, after spending about 2 hours removing and rebooting things multiple times. Thanks @73sydney for the module maintenance!

While we need to delete Google Services Data sometimes, to make Pay work, is there a way to backup all credit cards and restore them? (titanium backup?)

Hi guys and gals,

after reading many infos here I got everything to work for me.
I needed these settings for the following apps:

• Google Pay (GPay)
• Pokemon Go
• comdirect photoTAN app

What I did was the following:

1. Updated to magisk 24.1
   • Needed a deinstall and reinstall
   • modules already installed were Busybox, MagiskHide Props Config, Smali Patcher
2. Installed Universal SafetyNet Fix for Zygisk by kdrag0n
3. Enabled Zygisk
4. Rebooted
5. Enforced DenyList
6. Added the three apps above to the DenyList (just left everything checked by default, didn't enable anything else)
7. Deleted all data (not only cache) from the apps above, Google Play Services and Google Play Store
8. Reconfigured all three apps and it seems to work fine (haven't yet testet GPay in RL, but looks good)

I hope this will help to understand what needs to be done at least.

I have a Galaxy S9+ with CustomROM on Android 12.

No,

Plus that would be insanely insecure...

I did the same and I can confirm that everything works just fine. Difference is that I alao used props to spoof the fingerprint of my phone.

 

[borisSweden]

Is it still Gapps depending to pass Safety Net? Is there still no Gapps faker? Whatabout using old Android Pay apk, does it have a exploit?

In order of questions the answers are:

Yes (core services are needed to pass SafetyNet), No (and never will be), and No

[Gogikz]

Can somebody help to solv this problem

I can't set Up a google pay.Safety chek pass as well but stil can't set up my card.Magisk v.24.3 on redmi note 9 pro.The problem came after software updateView attachment 5557267

Can somebody help to solv this problem

1) Theres a section of my modules post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-of-gms-17-1-22-on-pie.3929950/post-79643248

titled "Clear Play Store & Play Store Services Data & Check Play Store Certification"

which suggests:

Clear Play Store & Play Store Services Data & Check Play Store Certification

• Toggle Airplane Mode on
• Clear data and cache of:
  • Google Play
  • Google Play Services
  • Google Pay (note: may/will remove any cards previously entered)
• Usually this will be achieved by (exact steps and terminology may change per device or ROM):
  • Opening Settings
  • Going to Apps, choosing Show All Apps
  • Enabling Show System Apps via a menu option
  • Locating the app, tapping it and then finding Storage/Cache
  • Tapping Clear Data
• Reboot
• Toggle Airplane Mode off
• Open Google Play Store, wait 5 minutes, go to Settings and check Certification at bottom, it may take some time for "Certified" to appear, but as long as its not "Not Certified", and just showing version info, you are good to go

an awful lot, in fact most, GPay issues are resolved merely by doing what this section says...

2) Disable DNSCrypt-Proxy temporarily (and reboot) - i dunno what if any blocklist youre using, but theres a chance that a blocklist entry may be interfering.

Beyond this, i have no idea, you mention a software update...so you may wish to check with other sin your devices threads to see if anyone else is having issues

 

[Gogikz]

Thanks I had try this but I miss one step.After I read your post and did everyting step by stem my problem is solved.Thanks a lot

I'm using rooted android 10 with Safetynet Pass & Play Store -Certified, but I'm still not able to activate tap to pay on Paytm app.


It's gives me a error - "This functionality is not available due to security concerns with your device."

How can I fix it?

Things to try?

1) Make sure you do not have a visible TWRP folder on internal memory - if you do and have a backup in there, rename the folder until you need it, or alternately move it off device

2) Make sure you are using the most up to date Magisk your device supports, and set MagiskHide or Zygisk (dependent on Magisk version) and relevant apps set to hide (do not hide all apps like an insane person). Consider installing Shamiko if using current Magisk 24.x with Zygisk

All details here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/

3) Make sure you do not have any of the known apps/modules that are known to cause issues, this include "tweak" apps/scripts like FDE.AI or (badly configured) EdXposed (on older Magisk) - which are noted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...s-of-gms-17-1-22-on-pie.3929950/post-79643248

4) If you have any magisk modules installed, try toggling them off and retrying (you;d be surprised what will give up root, something as benign as a font module will betray you)

5) And despite having a SafetyNet pass and certification in Google Play, and perhaps after 4) above, i would still give the standard troubleshooting steps of clearing data as in the three posts above this one ↑ a go....

6) Consider running RootBeer to see what may be triggering root detection, if at all

As always, i prolly try these things in this order for a possible "quick fix":

1, 5 and 6 - 5 has solved an awful lot of issues by itself...

And sometimes it will just resolve itself after a few days...GPay is sometimes a weird beast....

In order of questions the answers are:

Yes (core services are needed to pass SafetyNet), No (and never will be), and No

Does this count for the new Google Pay Flutter edition? Maybe I wasn't very specific. I pass Safety Net using LOS+Magisk24.3+USNF+MagiskHidepProps+Fingerprints+DenyList but does Gpay demand Gapps to be present?
