myBackup Up Pro (which I bought a couple years ago before learning about TB) is also supposed to be able to restore market links. It's not working for me though. I think it may be because I'm still on the stock ROM (rooted, but still stock ROM). It says it's due to a "market limitation".

I've noticed in the past that once I install a custom ROM those apps that I'm not supposed to see in the Market tend to show up. So I'm basing my "Custom vs Stock ROM Theory" on that probably inconsequential data point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yunlin12:
I'm stock, not rooted. Anyway I thought for US phone this is not required?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KassaNovaKaine:
Where did you get the new .apk? And did you reset Wallet and uninstall beforehand? Or did you simply install over the old version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogersGnex:
I am sure this question as been asked before but i went through the first 40 pages trying to get an answer and my eyes are very itchy now.

Question: Is it possible to install Google Wallet on to a Canadian released phone (Gnex on Rogers) that has not been rooted/flashed ... etc ( I want to keep the phone stock untill i fully understand how to fiddle around the phone)

Also, this phone (Gnex) will be my first Android phone so i dont know alot of abbreviation and for the most part i dont know how to do most of the stuff anyways
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidalow44:
I have the same problem. My guess is that a yakjuxw phone is considered to be non-US, and Wallet won't complete installation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] belair56:
I "THINK" you can flash an update file of the U.S. version without being rooted. I would search the general Galaxy Nexus section.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kelvingeorge:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michigan Jason:
Help please...

Alright, I am sure this has been asked, however after reading tons of pages I cannot read anymore.

I have a T-Mobile GSM GN, I got it for full retail in december. Not sure if it came from overseas or not, but it works on T-mobile. I am running 4.0.2 I am not rooted.

I downloaded the .apk and installed it, and when I open wallet, it says that my device/country is not supported. Is there a fix for this?

Any help is appreciated,

thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modidlee:
That was always there for me since I first installed Wallet on December 16.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Bump question ^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michigan Jason:
I'm still looking for some help on this topic I have a g s m t mobile nexus is not rooted in really wanna get wallet working on it somebody please help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morbidz:
can anyone try adding funds to an already working installation, seems like the prepaid card vendor's network is having issues at the moment
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
I am pretty sure you will have to run market enabler and root to get su access.

Then select u.s. T-Mobile as country. This is what I remember reading before. I have lte though so I don't have that problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] belair56:
Interesting, I had it on my Nexus S also, dating back to early Nov. Guess I'm getting forgetful. Don't remember.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yunlin12:
Yes mine is yakjuxw, this explains why I just got the 4.0.2 yesterday instead of a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if I should change to yaku like discussed in this thread:

GSM Galaxy Nexus Receives Google Wallet Access on AT&T, Still Nothing for the LTE Variant on Verizon

Unfortunately, I'm LTE Verizon Gnex, but hopefully this means more support and closer to a Verizon release.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

UPDATE:

They just posted how to get Market version on LTE directly!

Source: How to: Install Google Wallet From the Market on the Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I tried this method with my T-Mobile GNex. It says "this item isn't available by your carrier."

Just an FYI for everyone.

EDIT: I got it to work using the long method from the Droid-Life article.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchunkwii:
If you already have GW and you want to install the newer version, can you just download the APK and install OR do you need to reset GW first?

To be safe I reset and installed with out any issue. But I wonder if I wasted time doing the rest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Works for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I just tried the long method from the droid-life article and it worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Can you describe exactly what you did, I can't get it to work and I also have a Galaxy Nexus on T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
How'd you get it to work? I'm on T-Mobile as well!

GOT IT!

For T-Mobile users:

1)Go to market.android.com from the phones browser.

2)Stay in the browser when it prompts you to open the market.

3)Search for Google Wallet

4)Click on the Google Wallet icon in the search results

5)At this point it should either automatically open up the market app on your phone and allow you to install/update the app (I got the option to update it).

6)???

7)WIN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I followed these steps exactly. via Droid-Life:

1. From your phone open the browser and head to http://market.android.com.

2. Search for “Google Wallet.”

*If your browser prompts you to open the Market, don’t. Just stay in the browser.

3. When the results come back, tap on the Google Wallet icon.

4. Tap the “Install” button from within the browser and then sign into your Google account.

*Again, this is all from the browser, not the Market app.

5. Once you have signed in, you should be redirected back to the Market page in the browser.

6. Obviously, you will not have the option to install there since the VZW Nexus is not supported.

7. Tap the back button until you are prompted for the Market or Browser again, this time choosing the Market.

8. The Android Market should open to the Google Wallet page with an option to install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchunkwii:
any of you already had GW on your phone when you did the droid life steps? I'm thinking of doing that as then the market app recognizes as you having it installed and will properly update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Yes I did. I now lists it in the market as installed on both the market app and the web.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
When I bought my galaxy nexus back in early January, I initially set it up with no sim card inserted, so almost everything showed up in market over wifi (including google wallet). I installed it, but when I tried to load it without sim, it would say that it's not compatible with my carrier/country. But once I shut off the phone, insert my t-mobile sim, and loaded up google wallet, it initiated just fine with the $10 gift card. Ever since then, every time I install custom roms or wipe my phone, wallet would always reinstall when I select to restore my settings and apps when first setting up the phone/signing into google services. And it also shows that the app is installed when visiting the market from a desktop web browser.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Meh, I gave up and installed R48v1 from the OP in this thread over my existing Google Wallet install. Seems to be working and is smoother than old version. I'll need to go test if it works tonight - I have been using it with zero issues for months now so hopefully this version doesn't break anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchunkwii:
Did you reset GW first or just follow directions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
No I didn't reset. I just followed the directions and when it installed it said it was updating the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Azmuh:
Google Wallet now available with Galaxy Nexus on AT&T
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
ok so new phone is in, funny enough because i updated from the market it auto installed with my restored google account apps I unlocked, rooted, and flashed aokp milestone 3.....booted......added card!!.....called up money network and initiated the transfer of my old funds!!!.....then since I am paranoid now, I did the reset google wallet from within google wallet to then reboot into recovery and flash franko's 15.2 kernal.....started up wallet again and all is still good!!!

so far so good...in 24-72 hours my funds should be back to me+10 more dollars
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
Alright so I have posted the same question multiple times in multiple forums and so far no one can give me an answer. I just read above from the OP so I figured I would give it a shot again.

I don't currently use Google Wallet but I had installed it once shortly after rooting. I have since seen it installed with a number of ROMs that I have flashed. Since I don't use it I don't I don't usually launch it. I believe I launched it once after flashing just to see if it still worked.

The question is, if you don't launch Google Wallet after flashing a new ROM is there a possibility for damage or do you need to launch it once then run the reset procedure in the app?

I really would like to try out some new ROMs but I don't want to do anything until I have a plan of action for how to protect Google Wallet just in case I decide to use it at a later date.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
How? It won't let me select it. Its greyed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Ignore. Never mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
Now, I really want the secure element error to be fixed. Is this going to shed some light on the issue??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazyald:
I want to install this very bad but I don't want the secure element to lock me up.

What are the chances that it will lock up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
hen you launched it, did you add a card? or did you actually activate your account?

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

as long as you reset google wallet within the app itself each time you go to change roms, theoretically you should be fine. I have taken it a set further and do this anytime i flash anything even if its a new radio or kernel . keep in mind i am on my second nexus lte
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyoteqwik:
After following the install method several times I finally got it to work on my LTE that already had the lastest APK installed. My Nexus is 100% stock.

After getting it to show up in my apps when I went to Market, it would still say that the app was incompatible with your device. After about 30 minutes that message went away and it had no disclaimer and looks like every other app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayBeezy802:
I followed the instructions for the long way and I installed Wallet. 4.0.2. stock rom, rooted, unlocked bootloader. I have not used it as I'm still wary of locking up my secure element. (Yes I know if I reset wallet within the app I should be okay, but I'm not taking any chances...yet).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Which long method. All I see is LTE not GSM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
I got the latest version from market using the method above(I actually discovered it by accident and then saw it here :D) but payments still don't work for me. Before updating I had the version that comes with aokp m3.

Everything is set up and my google prepaid card is selected as default but nothing happens when I tap the phone.

I'm starting to think I'm not doing it right! You guys just tell the clerk you want to pay with "credit card" then unlock the phone and hold it against the paypass terminal, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
I doubt it but I was able to get to the "Get Started" page using the new version by doing the following on my Nexus S 4G:

Make sure NFC is on and data is cleared (I used TB Pro)

Open Wallet. SE error displays, click outside its box to close it.

Press the Wallet logo on the left side.

Enter new PIN. Reenter new PIN.

SE Error will display again. Click outside its box to close it.

Click the back button (not sure if this is the same for GNex owners)

You should be at the screen where the payments and offers are.

Furiously press the lock icon in the top right corner until the Get Started screen appears. You should be able to select your account.

You will now see your email listed on the settings screen. I even received a no reply email from them welcoming me to wallet. I now have over 10 emails :D

If you try to add the prepaid card it seems like it wants to but ends up erring out. Trying a reset says completed but stays at 0%. I have sent feedback to them from within the app after performing the above referencing the Secure Element not responding issue so maybe they will take a look since my phone is officially supported?

If we could just get the Secure Element to respond to the reset from within the Wallet app... it says complete but finishes with 0/73 and 0%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
Oh and anther weired thing: In market.android.com my carrier is listed as "Union Telephone Company" which apparantly is a small provider in Wyoming!

Market Enabler shows 31020 (tmobile) as my market code.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ebe3692:
ok when I tried to force attach GW to market via TiBu, it still didnt show up in market. (sideloaded version)

ran market doctor and still no luck

but when I went into the TiBu auto-update manager and added wallet to the auto-update list, it now shows up under My Apps in market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
Fyi...

I am ATT GSM GnX on MoDaCo Ir10 and my OP Wallet apk self updated via Market yesterday and today I have had no issues using PayPass.

(Thanks ATT! Finally the DeathStar scores one and the Dark Side gets a point vs. Big Red.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
Thanks so much!! this method worked perfect for me. Now google wallet is listed in my apps in the market app. And it also says my galaxy nexus is a compatible device now in the browser market as well. See pic below :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rijin:
wtf....no luck for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
you need to follow the steps to a T.

When you open the market in your browser and search for google wallet it will ask if you want to use the market app or brower to complete the search. pick browser (BUT DO NOT SET IT TO DEFAULT), then it will show you the results in the browser. From there as soon as you click the google wallet app it will again ask you if you want to use the market app or browser to show you the app. pick the market app (IF YOU SELECTED THE BROWSER AS DEFAULT YOU NEED TO CLEAR THE DEFAULTS FOR IT). then it will open google wallet in the market app and let you install it.

if it is not doing this it is because you set the browser as default, or set the market app as default for the search. if so you need to clear defaults and start from step 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rijin:
Thx :p got it

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Same here. GSM GalNex on TMOUS. Stock, not rooted. Followed every step and no luck. Not even the APK in post #1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
When you click on the app for the last time in the phone browser, open the link with the market instead of the browser. You should never see the page you posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
that wasn't mine, that was a quote.

This is what I get:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Ah, my mistake. You could always borrow a friend's AT&T sim card, swap it in, install the app, then swap back. Should still be on your phone. Weird though... Works fine for me on T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
idk if you guys want to give this a try and sorry but I am not sure if it is for the paid version only but if you download and install the APK, then use the app appmonster to backup the app, you can then simply select it in appmonster to view in the market and it bi-passes the restriction of the carriers in the normal market app :) it allows updating
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
I'm not rooted. Would that make a difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I've done that too. I got a few emails from Google myself. There has to be some way to get to the secure element. Something is writing/reading data onto it. I am very hopeful that someone's going to figure it out now that it's officially a available
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Thanks. I tried that, but it didn't work. Still getting this:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CasseTrop:
Hi.

Can you explain me the process you use to do that ?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hea.1987:
I Wanna go back to where I was :)

I tried this to have a google wallet, but the the wallet did not work. when I open it shows me "insufficient privilege" and whenever I reboot my phone it show " android upgrading, optimizing Applications"

I then downloaded root uninstaller to uninstall the wallet, but I still getting " android upgrading, optimizing Applications" when I boot.

I just gave up in this and I wanna go back to where I was, can I one help ?

Yes I did fix permissions many times but it did not work :(

I still have the stock rom, will I still receive updates from Google or not ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thanasisc4:
Did you make a nandroid backup before flashing?

If so, just restore from recovery.

If not that was very silly of you, but I'll help you out anyway. Follow these steps very carefully and you should have everything working including google wallet.

1) download the stock deodexed/rooted rom (labeled 12/1/11) in the dev section

---alternatively, any rom of your choice is fine.

2) (optional) backup your user apps in titanium (only user NOT system)

3) reboot into recovery

4) do a data/factory reset

3) wipe cache

4) go to mounts and storage -> format system

5) go to advanced -> wipe dalvik

6) flash rom

7) (optional) flash any other add-ons like button mods, backlight mods etc. (very important to flash these BEFORE wallet)

8) flash wallet LAST

9) advanced -> fix permissions

10) reboot... may have to wait a while

11) let the phone sit at welcome screen for 5 minutes... then reboot again

12) (optional) restore user apps in titanium back up

13) profit

Hope this helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HandOfReform:
Soo...anyone tested this on Verizon with the OTA from earlier today?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
I am trying to right now...

First go around how a lot of apps that wouldnt open... Rebooted to Fix Permissions again..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HandOfReform:
Awesome, let me know if that fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StormCell:
Is there any way to get this as just a .apk? I'm not rooted yet 'cause I'm on a Mac and it's not perfected and I'm not about to brink my baby. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
No because your phone is missing library files from making google wallet work. Do a nandroid backup and try it. If it fails, simply restore and you'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierrick584:
uh trying to do this atm, but how am i suposed to flash the rom if we wipe everything before, the rom isint present anymore on my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hea.1987:
thank you for your descriptive post :)

How about if I just want to get rid of the " android upgrading " in booting, so not wanna to flash the Wallet, should I do the same thing you mentioned except the wallet flashing ?

2nd will I still gonna get updates from Google ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McFace:
I'm in Canada as well and just loaded up $90 onto it :D

Go to any Shoppers Drug Mart and buy a Vanilla MasterCard (I got the $100 one).

Go to the Vanilla MasterCard website and select the USA site. Type in your cards information and give it a zip code (I used 90210).

Then on your phone, go to add funds and type in all the required info!

You can only do this 3 times before it will require a SSN and address to identify you as a US Citizen. Because of this it's best to do large top-ups (I bought the $100 card). Be aware that conversion means you can't put an exact $100 on the google prepaid card as the Vanilla MasterCard will be charged $104 CAD to create $100USD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Managed to install Google wallet and received my 10 dollar gift card. Sadly, it didn't work when I tried to use it at a Sheetz listed on the Google Wallet site as being compatible...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghammer80:
Dud you unlock the app first by putting the pin in? I thought you could just swipe it after waking the screen. I had to unlock the apply with PIN first and then it worked
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
I actually had the app open while trying. No luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] check12:
Just let me know what you need more info on. The top-up part? If so, just head to Shopper's Drug Mart, buy a Vanilla MasterCard, register it on in the US version of their site (use a US Zip obviously) and then top up from there :)

Again, you will not be able to top up again after the third time unless you actually do have a SSN that you can provide them.

Happy shopping!

I have a 1.1-R41v8 install package ready and am just testing it now. Be warned - it's now signed by my own keys, since I had to build and remove the protection from the APKs myself.

Note that there are graphical glitches - it looks like they're getting ready to, but don't yet have, the correct size images for the GN's screen resolution.

Okay, I've updated the first post to include instructions for 1.1-R41v8 and it should be all set.

that worked for me just fine. I reset wallet, then uninstalled using titanium backup. then used the first set of instructions there and installed wallet. Now it's showing in the market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
you have to install the apk first, that should adjust the market to read it properly once it sees that it is already on the device. You may need a previous build first in order for it to update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynk1121:
Nice! :cool: Worked perfectly on my unlocked GN on Tmobile usa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
I installed the apk and tried it. Finally got it to work through the market but it wouldn't let me install it because it was already installed on my phone through the apk method. I deleted the apk and tried it again and successfully got it installed. I opened the app and I'm basically where I was with the original apk method. Ugh...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
are you using the market enabler at all?

by the way, i completly forgot. give this a try

and the other thing I have been reading is to remove the sim card, and use a wifi connection. It should bipass any carrier checking
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
This was actually how I originally got the APK onto my phone (for uploading here) but with more chrome to phone.

I'd use chrome to view the market page - not compatible.

Chrome 2 phone

Open in Market.

Quickly tap install.

Accept...

Done!

The install button appeared for me for a split second before it disappeared, but I was able to click it and thus get the app.
