I'm running 47A from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...t/vs985-46a-stock-flashable-firmware-t3304365
It's got systemless root, I'm using SuperSU and I have TWRP installed. No xposed.
I really don't want to use xposed/magisk and I'm probably willing to lose root (would be nice if it was temporary vs permanent).
If I uncheck enable superuser in SuperSU and reboot, Android Pay still doesn't work.
So what exactly do I need to do in order to get Android Pay working?

I'm not rooted (anymore), but with bumped TWRP and SuperSU, apparently you can work around this. It appears PokeMon GO is blocking rooted users due to people spoofing their GPS location via Xposed modules, etc. This article explains how to flash something called Magisk that apparently works for both Pokemon GO as well as Android Pay. Again, I'm not rooted so I have no idea if this will work or not, but he lays out the instructions pretty well. I believe that since you are already rooted and bumped with TWRP, and no Xposed, you just need to obtain Magisk and flash from within TWRP.

Hope this helps. I just happen to come across this article in my Feedly feed and remembered reading your post, so hopefully this helps you.
Let us know!

Hi iBolski,
Did you mean to include a link to an article about installing Magisk with an Verizon LG G3?
I've been looking for a way to install a stock unrooted rom for days but have been coming up short. Magisk would be ideal but I can't seem to find any threads that have a stock (unrooted) firmware image or a guide on how to unroot a pre-rooted firmware. I wish a tutorial specifically for a Bumped VS985 existed to set up a stock firmware or other ROM with Magisk because I have been having trouble piecing information together and am nervous about causing problems with my phone!
If anyone else has a Bump'd VS985 Verizon LG G3 with TWRP installed that is either unrooted or have Magisk running successfully with Android Pay or Pokemon GO, please let us know how you did it!
Thanks!!
EDIT: I just noticed that you yourself are running stock unrooted 46A iBolski... do you have TWRP installed or are you fully stock and accepted an OTA? If TWRP, does Android Pay or Pokemon Go work for you? And how'd ya get to where you are?

Sorry about forgetting the link. I updated my previous reply with the article in question.
As to your answer, I do not have TWRP installed. I do have all the official OTAs applied.

Thanks for updating with the link. I did see that guide but am unsure about how to handle it with BUMP and what ROMs it works with.

As a follow up to my own post, I was able to pass the SafetyNet check (I used SafetyNet Helper from the Play Store to check) on my CloudyG3 2.5 LG G3 VS985. This was not without it's negatives however (no Xposed or root).
I simply flashed the Xposed Uninstaller and uninstalled the app, then from within the SuperSU app settings selected the option to permanently unroot. I did of course make a nandroid backup before doing this so restoring will not be an issue, but I do now get a green screen / pass to SafetyNet which should mean Android Pay and Pokemon Go will work.

Did you try Magisk at all? I am on Jasmine ROM (Android 5.1.1) and would love a way to still have Root & Xposed, but be able to pass SafetyNet for PokemonGO and Wallet
Question on XDABBEB's VS985 ROM
Considering that this phone will probably see no more OTA's, I'm ready to go back to root, but I don't want to break Android Pay. Also, I'm not going to use Kingroot. Don't trust it. So, I'll TOT back to 10B to flash XDABBEB VS985 ROM. But i have some questions regarding it (I haven't ran a custom ROM in almost a year).
Does anyone know if removing SuperSU from XDABBEB VS985 ROM will allow Android Pay to work? Curious if so, otherwise, I'll probably just stick with my stock 48A unrooted phone in order to keep Android Pay.
I also miss TiBu as my backup tool. Yes, LG Backup is nice and all, but TiBu is so much more flexible, including the scheduled backups that I like to do as well as pushing to my Google Drive for backing up the files. Also, TiBu doesn't store it in one giant backup file. I really wish LG Backup would store each app as a separate file, rather than one giant, humongous file. Also, if I do upgrade to a new phone that's not LG, LG Backup won't work for me, so I'll need TiBu (and of course, I have to make sure the new phone is rootable).
Thanks!
While I have not tried this (I plan to try magisk later this week) supposedly Reddit says we can use this bump script after applying magisk in order to make everything will boot. I'm reading mixed comments about if/which certain bootloader is needed to have this work (KitKat vs Lollipop vs Marshmallow) or which ROM to start with as a base (though I saw CM 13 mentioned). If anyone tries this, let me know. I'll post my results in the coming days.
Netflix no longer works for me as Google SafetyNet DRM detects root (SuperSU, busybox, and unlocked bootloaders). Currently, the only work around is Magisk hide, which means you need johnwu systemless root using MagiskSU and the Magisk framework flashed. There is a major snag for the G3 however, due to bump. Bump is what allows a custom bootloader to be accepted. MagiskSU and framework work by modifying the boot.img to mount a hidden partition. With stock ROMs above 5.1.1, you cannot just bump the modified boot image as it causes flashing red and blue lights and bootloader not to verify correctly.
I could switch to a different ROM like Cyanogenmod and use a bump script to get it to work (complicated and unwanted). Developer support is lacking at the moment, so I am not holding my breath. Not to mention, SafetyNet will keep evolving and leave this method behind eventually. The future is likely in a temp root solution just to apply system-less modules and ad-blocking as rooted users become more persecuted by major services.
Even so, I would love a method of using Magisk hide currently while staying on stock MM if possible.
Oh no! I had no idea Magisk wasn't working for stock roms.
I was just looking it up because I got the dreaded screen dying issue (paper fix is working for now) and was thinking of starting over with a new G3 and putting Magisk on it.
I guess I'll have to use a custom ROM if I do that? Are there any that can pass SafetyNet?

CyanogenMod works with magisk I've heard.

Turns out Fulmics does too! That's what I'm using on my new phone.
Does it matter what version the rom is when flashing as long as it matches my model number? I read online sometimes if you downgrade the stock firmware you can risk bricking. My phone is a Samsung J3 Emerge (Sprint - SM-J327P). The reason I want a custom rom is to find one with an updated kernel. Apparently magisk needs a kernel version of 3.8+ for some features to work properly which is more than likely why my safetynet fails . Also trying to select something in magisk hide deselects itself when going back.
Flashing a modified boot.img with magisk to my phone trips the knox counter and says I'm running a custom binary. Would this be the reason safetynet breaks? Because as soon as I restore images in magisk and reboot, safety passes with flying colors. Is it possible to have a custom rom with magisk that passes safetynet?
I'm new to the forums and have never really asked for help as I was able to find pretty much everything from Google searching. Main reason I'm doing this is because I'd like my device rooted while passing safetynet.
I have US998 rooted and is looking into xposed framework.
I've looked at numerous instructions and after mix-n-matching was able to install xposed somehow but after I enabled device id change, it froze at LG logo.
That was with Pie stock 30c.
I've tried coming down to Oreo 20e and as soon as I install xposed and reboot, it hangs again at LG.
I've came down to Nougat 10d and it still hangs.
What would be the best method (or custom rom) to use with xposed?
Thanks in adv!!

I have Xposed with stock Rooted Oreo. Just make sure you're using the Oreo Xposed.

are you using systemless ? I followed this and was successful but Magisk shows it fails Safenet.

I thought systemless would bypass Safenet check?

Use edxposed from magisk download section
Though there's no guarantee that safety net will pass for the modules you use.

Like @tech_infinity mentions,
edXposed variant of Xposed passes Safety Net.
I wrote Instructions last year on how to install edXposed, but may be outdated by now since they mention specific release version. Probably updated version out there now.
I don't care about Safety Net, and neither does my banking app, so I kept just Xposed on my own phone. Whenever I decide to do a full clean install of everything I'll switch to edXposed.
I have my Nord N10 rooted and perfectly satisfied with my firmware and I don't want to update.
I assume if I will it will unroot my phone and I'll have to root it again.
However, it keeps nagging me with this annoying popup that can't be removed by system means.
Is there any way to disable this popup on a rooted phone? I have magisk and twrp installed.
Screenshot? This may be a A11 thing.
I've ranted before how Google Services needs to be removed for the phone to be considered safe from terrorist updates... I also did all the One+ update services, and there's a bunch of testing bloatware too that can be killed once you start futzing with the system image.
Depending on how dirty you want your hands, there are several nice custom ROMs available for this phone that may "just work" for you for one, final, update.
