Anyone here lose Android Pay after sideloading March 7.1.1 OTA (N6F26U)?

[anon(9072051)]

Quite a few folks on reddit with unlocked and never rooted Nexus 6s are finding that the Android Pay app either will not open or will not accept card information after sideloading the March OTA. The SafetyNet attest app returns a "false" for CTS profile match.

Looks like it's the Nexus 6s turn this month since it seems both Pixels and both of the 2015 Nexus phones have already gone down this road.

It looks like the build has been pulled as it's not on the OTA Images website.

Probably for the best. But they've really got to stop handing over the Nexus 6 factory images to the most clueless new hires they can find. Time to go back to waiting a week before sideloading, I guess.

How and from where do you sideload? Speaking as a complete n00b of course.

You get the OTA files here:

This web page gives a decent set of instructions for sideloading on a Nexus device:

There are plenty of other explanations of sideloading OTAs and flashing factory images online. If you trust the AC folks, they have several tucked away in the forums and on the web site, like:
