How to Use Google Pay [GPay] in Rooted Android

In this guide, we will show you the steps to use Google Pay [GPay] on your rooted Android device. One of the biggest perks of having an open-source ecosystem like Android is the plethora of goodies that it brings in with it. Once you checkmark the first prerequisite of an unlocked bootloader, you will be in a position to welcome a plethora of tweaks onto your device.

Among them, it is the inability to gain administrative privileges by rooting your device via Magisk that has forever been the preferred tweak for tech enthusiasts. However, it is just one side of the coin. Unlocking the bootloader or rooting your device trips the Safety Net. As a result, all the apps and games that are dependent on it will refuse to function on such a device.

While it is mostly done from the security point of view, as an unlocked bootloader device is more prone to attacks, however, the user who has carried out all these tweaks is already aware of the risks involved and has voluntarily proceeded with the steps. So it should ultimately be the choice of the end-user whether or not they wish to run banking and payment apps on their device or not.

At the very most, the app developers could notify the user and gain their acknowledgment that they are trying out their app on an unlocked/rooted device at their own risk. But while [unfortunately] that isn’t the case, you could still use Google Pay [GPay] on your rooted Android device using a nifty workaround. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.

NEW METHOD [RECOMMENDED]

To begin with, pass the Strong Integrity Test [recommended].
Then launch Magisk > go to Settings > tap on Hide the Magisk app.
Give it any random name of your choice and hit OK.
Now launch Magisk > go to Settings > Configure Denylist.
Select the following apps: Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, Google Pay [GPay].
Next, download, install, and set up Hide My Applist . Then restart your device.
Now launch the HMA > go to Template Manage > Create a blacklist template.
Name it root. Then tap on Edit List next to 0 Apps Invisible.
Choose all the apps belonging to the root domain from the list.
Then go to App Manage > Google Pay [GPay] > Enable Hide > Using 0 templates > select the root template > OK.
Now launch KSUWebUI > Tricky Store > check the Google Pay [GPay] app.
If it’s missing, then tap on the hamburger menu > Add System App > type the below package name and hit Add. com.google.android.apps.nbu.paisa.user
GPay will now be shown in the app list. So long-press on it and select the green circle. Then hit Save.
Finally, delete the data of Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, and Google Pay [GPay].
Next up, restart your device and check out the result.
If GPay is not working, then go to the below location: data/adb/modules/playintegrityfix
Open the custom.pif.json file, add the following values at the end, and save it. // Advanced Properties “spoofBuild”: “1”, “spoofProps”: “1”, “spoofProvider”: “1”, “spoofSignature”: “0”, “spoofVendingSdk”: “0”, “verboseLogs”: “0”
Again, delete the data of Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, and Google Pay [GPay].
See if GPay is working now or not. If not, then you’ll have to spoof/fake the Bootloader Unlock status to Locked .
Once done, delete the data of Google Play Store, Google Services Framework, Google Play Services, and Google Pay [GPay].
Finally, restart your device and check out the result. You’ll be able to add Credit/Debit cards without any issues in the app.

I dont know when, but now GooglePay changed to Google Wallet ? I deleted it, reinstalled it, cleared all the caches and data from Google apps that you mentioned. Only thing I could not find is Google Framework Services… After all your steps being followed, Google pay still says that my phone is rooted. I am using android 12 with Beyondrom .
