After reading a lot of chatter on how others (with other devices) don't root their phones because they want to keep using Android Pay, I paid attention to my XZU where Android Pay is concerned.
STOCK ROM,
Bootloader: Locked
Root: No
Android Pay: Runs, allows credit card to be added.
STOCK ROM
Bootloader: Locked
Root: Yes
Android Pay: Runs, allows credit card to be added.
STOCK ROM
Bootloader: Unlocked
Root: Yes
Android Pay: Runs, allows credit card to be added.
AOSP / CM based ROM: ANY
Bootloader: Unlocked (Of course)
Root: Yes
Android Pay: Force closes after splash.
A notable difference Sony stock ROMs and all CM / AOSP ROMs is that Sony build with release keys, and CM / AOSP build with test keys. And I am of the feeling that it is those keys that Android Pay are validating the security of the device with.
If I was clever enough to build myself a ROM, I would try this out of myself, which leads me to this question:
Are release keys available for devs to use to build CM / AOSP ROMs with?
