[elreydenj]

I will surely test when my device gets here in about an hour. Has anyone who has received there non-Verizon version unlocked the bootloader and tried to use Android Pay? Thank you in advance.

Hey op!
I've had my pixel XL all day now. I just unlocked my bootloader and re setup my phone... Sadly Android pay isn't working now that I've unlocked my bootloader :'(

Just as a warning to all other users

Although, YMMV!

I read that unlocked bootloader now violates Safety Net, so Android Pay won't work at present.

What kind of crap is that Google?! Jeez
How difficult is it to just let us enjoy our devices, ay?

Previously you could unlock bootloader and as long as you didn't root or hid root from certain apps you could still use Google wallet.

Same with the 6P, unlocked bootloader now breaks Android Pay.

It's the app version not the phone. There is another thread here some people withe nexus 6p if using the latest version of Android pay will trigger that, but if using an older version all is fine.

You need to complain to the banks if you want this fixed. The Banks have dictated to Google what is required to allow paying via phone as it's their loss if you report money stolen.

While I agree, I feel that with a rooted Device using SU, which requires that you allow applications to have root access. Apps cannot have root access without you granting it. And also having the card information heavily encrypted so that even if somehow a hacker gets your data via an app that you install, it would take them 1 million years to bruteforce decrypt the file, it should be safe enough, but banks are too dumb to realize this and impose their will on carriers, and google in our case. So complain to the banks, and google.
