Have you re-locked the bootloader? An unlocked bootloader will cause Google Pay to not work on stock firmware.

Is it a good practice to relock the bootloader after root? I though it will reenable signature checks and brick the phone?

If you flashed the factory image you're stock and not rooted, right? But yes you shouldn't lock the bootloader again after modifications. You can relock it after flashing factory image from google though if you fon't flash anything else and don't modify it. That's also the only way to get google pay to work without root and Magisk hide.

Also, as long as you don't untick "enable oem unlocking" in developper settings, you can still unlock if it bricks, as long as you have fastboot access. So if you happened to brick by relocking, just unlocking again (and flashing if needed) would solve it anyway.

Thanks man, I'm thinking i have to re lock my phone now, or just wait new magisk can hide google pay.

Awesome how google sells a phone that is unlockable and easily rootable, but then blocks a service to the device. Luckily, where I am google pay is not an option, but I sympathize with you all.

There is a ton of information on the Magisk page about running Google Pay on an unlocked/rooted device. I use it on both a Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL. Locking your bootloader is not necessary right now.

Followed instructions and edited db and rebooted. Works great in Android 10 on Pixel 3. Thanks for this. I was wondering why wouldn't work on my new phone. So dumb to lock this down.
