So I just spent about the last hour trying to get funds to add to my prepaid Google card and found some quirks that may help others avoid some frustration.
EDIT: THIS INFORMATION MAY BE WRONG!!! It's been mentioned that once the Google Wallet sees the tampered bootloader, we may have problems using Google Wallet.
I also went ahead and already rooted my phone today so that might have been the reason for the problems.
1. There was an update for Google Wallet pending. Before I did that, I couldn't even get my Google prepaid card to activate(and give me $10 bucks)
2. It appears as if you have root on your phone, you will need to grant root permissions to Google Wallet.
3. "Unfortunately Google Wallet Has Stopped Working" - I got this message a lot. I think it may be another issue with root. In order to get around it, I put in all of my card information and then made sure to UNCHECK "Remember this card for future top ups" My thought process behind this is maybe Google wants to make sure that your card information doesn't get stored on a phone that has root access(where the information can be accessed later)
Other thoughts:
I used a Mastercard debit card for my adding of funds even though they say debit cards won't work. I think as long as your debit card can be ran as credit, it will work fine for Google Wallet

it took forever when i did it, maybe a full 60-90 seconds IIRC
Does getting the unsupported device message mean it will work if it has root? When I grant root it still says my device is supported.

I rooted and then set up Wallet. IT asked for root permissions, I denied it. Everything worked fine after that. Admittedly I haven't tried actually using it to pay for something...
It's odd that my app appears to still be working even though I have given it root. Now to try and actually use it today.
So, I rooted using the method on the development page, opened google wallet, it asked for SU permission, I gave it. I was then able to create the prepaid card, it seems to be working now.
The app seems to be working whether you allow or deny SU permissions. Have not been able to test a purchase yet.
Something else to note... When I cleared SU permissions, Wallet cache and data to try it again by denying SU permissions my credit card info was not saved to the cloud and needed to be re-entered. However Citi bank apparently is having issues right now allowing a card to be authorized multiple times and it gets denied. Have been told a fix is being worked on to allow Wallet to be removed from the Citi account and should be ready by Tuesday.
unsupported device ?
Everything seemed to be working fine . Setup account got $10 credit now says unsupported device click to learn more and pretty much says because I gained root access its unsupported . I tried using voodoo ota app to temp unroot and still says same . Any solutions to fix other than running ruu to unroot ? Has anyone tried using to purchase something with the unsupported device and if so what were your results ?
Thanks
Edit : Just tried it out and works
I denied su and everything seems to be working fine for me. Like previously stated it did take about 45 to 60 seconds for the add but it went through fine.

So even though it says "Unsupported device" it still lets you buy stuff? Can you still add funds/cards as well?

I can't get sh*t to work, when I try to add a Google Card i get an error, I don't have a citi card so I cant add that.
For me this doesn't work, am I missing something?
I set up google wallet the day I got the phone, then I rooted it the following day. Tried using the prepaid $10 card at the gas station yesterday, and all I had to do was deny root access when it asked, and the transaction went through.
I haven't tried to add funds and I don't have citi bank so can't comment on that . I didn't set up my account till after root and I denied su . I got my $10 credit and IIRC it didn't say unsupported device till after I got the credit . Posted question right after then I went to 7-11 and used with no problem. It even said unsupported device when wallet opened for purchase. Tried yesterday at MC Donald and it didn't work but it didn't even read the nfc thinking it is because if the new otterbox defender series case though and I didn't want to pull phone out of case. I'll try to add funds and also use again and post my findings.
So does the wallet app need to be opened in order to use it?
I know it says that you just have to wake the device, but everytime I've tried it that way = no good. I'll have to find someplace when it's not busy so I can play around with it, hating trying when got multiple people in line behind me.

u just need ur screen on, no need to load the app
I've had some trouble topping up the pre-paid card. When I enter my CC info the wallet app will force close when I submit the info. However if I uncheck the box that saves the CC info the transaction will go through. It's not a game breaker but it sure is annoying.

So I rooted my phone today to get wifi working, and then decided to try wallet again and it works fine. I allowed it to get root as well, didn't realize when it asked so ...
I now have 10 in credit, will try the payment tomorrow.
Crazy..
Also does wallet just stay running all the time in the tray? Does that affect bat life at all?
I've tried numerous Android 4.4 ROMs attempting to get Tap and Pay to work with Google Wallet and have had no success. I've tried changing tons of settings, enabled android Beam, disabled it, etc. Can't get it to work for the life of me. I know that KitKat is supposed to bypass Verizon's NFC check (because they want you to only use Isis Wallet) but haven't ever been able to use it.
Just wondering if anyone else has been able to use Google Wallet's Tap and Pay. I've never used a device that was capable of doing this so I'm wondering if it's an issue with this feature not working on the ported ROMs for our phone, or if I'm just trying to use Tap and Pay at a checkout that doesn't support Google Wallet?

Android 4.4 (AOSP) is missing a "driver" for the NFC chip in our device. So even though it looks like it should work, it won't work until that gets sorted out
I am on a custom rom (N5 on CM12.1) and rooted so android pay will not work for me. Now I am not too upset about not being able to pay with it, but it is kinda dumb that I can't even get access to my loyalty and gift cards without adding a credit card. So I uninstalled android pay, installed v8 of google wallet. I then unlinked to market using Titatinium backup, but the next day I see not only is it reconnected to market, but is due for update. I disconnected it from market again, and verified that it didn't show up as needing an update, but the next day I see that android pay has been updated.
So my real question is there no way to access loyalty cards without adding credit card? If not I am guessing that google play services is taking control of things and is automatically updating google wallet whether it is linked to market or not, so what can I do to stop it updating itself?
Thanks.
Just want to ask you guys that have Chinese version of mate 10, is android pay working for you?
Every time I try to add a payment card in the android pay app, 3 seconds after the camera opens the app will switch back to it's previous screen. I also can not make payment on play store. I can download free apps but I cant purchase app even though I have a bank card stored on my google account. Anyone have the same problem?
I've got the Mate 10 Pro which was shipped from Carphonewarehouse here in the UK and I'm having the same problem with Android pay. I've tried reinstalling but still persists.
Same problem with the ALP-29 (European) model. Is it something with the way Launch handles apps perhaps?
wow， I didn't expect European version have the same problem. I thought it's the Chinese firmware's problem.
This is a pretty serious bug imo, Huawei should fix it asap.
Android pay works on my AL00 rebranded to L29 C636 but tried to use it twice and my card got declined. I have no issues with the card. Strange .
Update. I think it was because I had app lock set to Android Pay. I disabled it and all payments work fine.

I've got a really weird issue with the original L29 and Android Pay. The card is accepted and it works but the icon for Android Pay simply disappears and it shows in Google Play as disabled. Enabling it returns it but shortly it disappears again. And it never survives reboot.
Hey guys, plz try to go to Google Play and add ur credit card into it, then go back to the Android Pay and try adding a card again.
If this helps, plz let me know. Good luck.

I find the fix for camera jumping back issue, go to phone manager-launch-android pay. Turn it to manual and turn on all sub options under manual.
However I still can not pass the card verification process on this phone, android pay says it is card issuer problem. But I tried all of my bank/ credit cards , none of them can pass the verification. And the same cards can be used on my old P9 PLUS and on my friend's MATE 9. So there is definately something wrong with the mate 10, very strange problem.
Hello all, i had this problem too but resolved it by following the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/huawei-mate-10-android-pay-t3714857.
Try clearing all data in your Google Play Services (under Settings->Apps). Let Play Services reload the data and try adding a new card again using Android Pay. If that doesn't work, then uninstall updates from Google Play Services, the reboot your phone. Wait for play store to update your Google Play Services to the latest version (it can take a while) then adding new cards to Android Pay shouldn't be a problem. Hope this works for all!
Google Play Services Issue
It has already been stated but please clear all data from Google Play Services. I had the same problem with Android pay. Cleared all data and I'm good to go. Mate 10 fully rocks right now!
After tried everything you guys suggested, I still can not get this working. Cards still cant pass the verification process. Whats your play store version and play service version? I installed one from APKMIRROR, (940-175121617), which is suppose to be the one for android 8, but everytime i restart phone it will be replaced with (448-177350961)

I personally think the Chinese rom is the best rom for our Mate's, but unfortunately, I think that because Google is blocked is China, Android Pay may NEVER work for us (for me I'm in the US using the Chinese rom). I tried for 5 days straight and couldn't get it working correctly. I hope you have better luck than I did
If all fails maybe can rebrand the rom to your region?
I am using a s9+ bought from China with the stock firmware in Australia.
I have got google play store installed and have no problem to use all the feature except the google pay.
The issue is that I cannot activate any card in google pay even though they are all google pay supported card. I can add the card but it stucked the last step: verifying your card with the bank .
There is no issue with the saftynet check and the phone is not rooted.
It seemed that a lot of people reported the similar issue on xiaomi and huawei phone with China rom. Not sure what really caused this?
Anyone has the idea?
Thank you.

My first recommendation is use Samsung Pay instead. It's the most widely accepted and easiest NFC payment option. If you prefer Google Pay I suggest backing up your data with Samsung Smart Switch, do a Factory Reset. This will allow you to get the most recently updated Google Account. After completing setup, make sure your device has the latest software update. Download and reinstall Google Pay and try settting up the account.
