google DID NOT take it away from you. if you did not reset wallet then you could have corrupt the wallet connection to your nfc chip like I did on my first gnex and thus you may be screwed. If you cannot re-add the prepaid card then you are simply like the rest of us at the moment

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

this is correct, but also note that so long as you know the user id and preferably the imei number of the previous phone(I took screen shots) then you can have money network transfer the balance from one device to the other.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michigan Jason:
Still waiting for the alleged update that was coming by the end of last week as per my conversation with a money market rep. The update is supposed to allow our devices to reconnect with our prepaid cards that we were already using before this clusterfuck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
Actually money market has nothing to do with this and Google has already given an official statement and said at the end of this week cards should be back online. They also issued a number so complainers can request their money back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michigan Jason:
Money market controls my prepaid funds. That is my concern. Money market told me that Google was going to release an update, and correct the issue. I know they arent the ones that issue the update, they are however the ones that have my money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
That's irrelevant, Google is who is not allowing you to access those funds. If you had a money market credit or debit card you would still have access to those funds. It's Google stopping the app from provisioning on your phone, not money market. If you want to watch cable and the power stops working do you call Comcast or PG& E?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michigan Jason:
I just now restored a previous nand backup. I now am in google wallet, and it is showing my available balance and I am able to use it. If I restore the backup I just created prior to doing this it will not work. Will a titanium backup work so that I can restore to my current settings and then update the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
A titanium restore will not work. Yes it will put your available balance there and allow you to access the app, but if you do a restore and try to make a purchase, it will not go through
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michigan Jason:
I see. My main question is this. The nand restore i just did was from before google wallet stopped working. Now I see my balance and all appears functional, if I go back to the backup i created 30mins ago of my new rom and setup with wallet, it tells me prepaid is unavailable. Will the upcoming update make my balance appear in the new setup and function again?

From my understanding where we sit is simply waiting for this to commence... yea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
I'm sorry I read the first post wrong, a titanium backup will not work, but if you do a nand restore of the whole rom, Google wallet will work. Yes the wallet will update with actual funds after the update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michigan Jason:
Ok, thats what I thought. So basically I am going to stay with my older rom until I see here that the problem is solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingwaffle:
Could you elaborate on the latter part of this? I basically backed up my apps with titanium and then installed my new rom and restored the backups.

Unless I missed some random step along the way and broke my nfc chip, I have to think this is related to the prepaid business being down at the moment

Hey guys quick question, I'm using the newest wallet on mcr 4.0.4 and the pay pass terminals dont seem to recognize my phone.

Any help would be great.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carlkz:
appreciated and ...

... am now rooted. dont mean to thread hijack but just 1 question off-topic if I may

whats/wheres the short guide to flashing ROMs for dummies?

I DL'd ROM Manager and a root toolkit but I am loathe to start tinkering with CWM, recovery etc w/o knowing what Im doing. I did do a stock ROM backup via ROM Manager -- scared myself sh*tless as it started and it took longer than I expected but all wound up well.

so I take it I DL a ROM (from where? which one/s?) in zip format (onto my phone since nexus has no card).

and then?

apologies if Im causing impermissible drift but there are clearly a lotta guys here who to me are obe-wan's so I thought Id ask
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Well.. the roms are located in the Development section. Download a rom (.zip file), and that gets put to your virtual SD card in the "Downloads" folder. Boot into CMW (by powering off and then holding power, volume + and -) and wipe data/cache/dalvik, and then go to "install zip from SD card" and then locate your rom under "downloads" and flash (don't forget to flash gapps as well, if necessary)... but keep these kind of questions in the Q&A section of the forum. =] Happy flashing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] law2004:
hey i tried installing the script everything went well except when i run it i get this

"Insufficient secure element privilleges for this system image(realese-keys)...."

do i have to edit the packages.xml for this to work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
Yes. (lengthening my post blah blah blah)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] law2004:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
Hmm. Can you get me a logcat log?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
Got this to work on Verizon Galaxy Nexus however after fixing the permissions(some apps needed to be reinstalled even after CWRecovery permission fixing) There is one strange bug.

Every time I reboot now it re"optimizes" all the applications. This doesn't take long with only 31 apps currently but it is a little annoying. Any thoughts on how this could be fixed?

BTW, I didn't do any packages.xml stuff
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SS2006:
Can i just flash on my stock rooted nexus or is the editing neccesary
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
Are you using the 1.1-R38v5 or the 1.1-R41v8 package?

If you delete all your user data, the editing is not necessary. If you don't, you'll need to edit the packages.xml as described.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus15:

logcat > /sdcard/logcat_out.txt

OR on your PC via adb:

adb logcat > logcat_out.txt

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus15:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
Looks like NfcGoogle.apk wasn't correctly installed, which has now knocked out all of your NFC capabilities. Try going through into fastboot and running the packages.xml instructions again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HandOfReform:
With your recovery issues have you tried renaming or deleting the 'recover-from-boot.p' file in /system? That fixed it for me, I renamed it to recover-from-boot.p.bak using root explorer, reflashed the recovery and all is well now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] texascrane:
Got it up and running on an LTE Nexus here. I had to do the permissions thing but other than that, it went smoothly. I went over to CVS and bought a soda to try it out.

I did have to use the pin to unlock the app before it read it on the paypass terminal (that wasn't clear to me in the videos I watched online). The checkout girl got a funny look on her face and said to me "that was gangsta!".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blueshoes9001:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
there MIGHT be a fix. some of the reps are claiming that they will supposedly send out a update or allow a master reset from there end. The problem is that this is effecting a phone (galaxy nexus) which they are not supposed to support. This means that this could in fact be a fix that wont help us in the slightest.....

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------

the prepaid is shut down, yes. the problem lies in the fact of if you have already once been issued a prepaid card, if you go and remove the card or reset the wallet app then you will be screwed like the rest of us. YES, you can tibu the data and app of wallet and then restore it upon a new rom flashing however if you go to use it after that restore then it may not work at all though looking fine on the phones end. In my personal experience with my first gnex I did that very thing and it will look fine on the phone end, you will go to use it and it wont process the transaction. You reboot the phone and it will remove the card claiming that the your card was removed from your phone by your bank. contact money network for further instructions. it is at this point you are royally screwed and need a new device.

My wallet "reset" after my first attempt to use it and a google pre-paid. Then I could not re-add my google pp card. Called Google and they indicated this was a know problem but that it is fixed for most people via an update. Mine should be updated in less than a week.

See email below.

-----------------------

Thank you for contacting Google Wallet. I understand that you are unable to provision your Google Prepaid Card and I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.

The Google Prepaid Card is temporarily unavailable and will be available once again soon. If you're still having trouble after a week, feel free to get back to me.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Regards,

Ruth The Google Wallet Team

As I recall, the issue at hand in my post was the Secure Element not responding error, not the prepaid card problem. Am I right, dcdevito?

I never had it installed from Market (just sideloaded) and today it showed up as an Update in the Market. Now when I go to Market, it shows my device as having it and being compatible. Hope this isn't a fluke...will make future updates much easier :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Medic97:
Thanks for the file. My bootloader is unlocked and it doesnt show up in my market or my wifes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AGeleff:
Is this still not working on custom ROMs? A friend of mine is getting the "Prepaid is down for scheduled maintenance" message when he tries selecting his prepaid card. Anyone else having the same issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
It's still not working for people who have ever reset their wallet data - custom ROM has nothing to do with it, other than that you should always reset wallet data before moving to a new ROM.

Installed Wallet using the Market within the browser method

Hi, did anyone else use the "mobile browser" method to install Wallet? Here's the video I went by:

http://www.androidauthority.com/how...the-market-on-the-verizon-galaxy-nexus-50510/

When I first did it, I was able to make a connection with tap-to-pay machines, but it didn't work, I think because the initial $10 wasn't enough for that particular transaction.

Then Google shutdown adding money to the card for security reasons, patched it up (about a week ago I think), then I was able to add money.

Since adding money, I haven't been able to make a connection with the tap-to-pay machines. I did notice the "how to pay" now says you have to wake your phone from sleep, but even after doing that I don't hear the beep sound nor does the app pop up when I tap my phone.

Anyone else had this issue? Should I uninstall and try flashing the ZIP like you guys did?

Unrooted

Galaxy Nexus

Android 4.0.2

Verizon LTE

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
where have you been trying it dude, I am in Staten Island and I have used it all over here and in Manhattan just fine (prior to my resetting the app)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] archfiend997:
Well let's see, I just "reset" the app via Settings, and now it says Google Prepaid Card is unavailable due to planned system upgrades. I'm assuming they found yet another security hole?

Maybe I shouldn't have reset the app... not sure if I lost that $20 I added either, but whatever.

I tried using it multiple times in cabs around New York, like I said the one time it did work but there wasn't enough money. That was before the first security patch.

Are you using the Prepaid card?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

To answer my own question, they are doing planned upgrades, apparently started a few days ago. So I guess I'll post back on here when I'm able to use it again.

That being siad, NyPlaya, have you tried using it in the past few days?

Thanks anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pharpe:
I used the "mobile browser" method and it installed fine. I was able to get my $10 prepaid card and everything looked good. Unfortunately I never got a chance to use it before Google disabled them. So now I'm waiting for Google to reactivate the prepaid cards so I can test it.

Also, the "mobile browser" method works to install the wallet updates from the market. I was able to update today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] archfiend997:
Scratch that... sorry for the relentless posts...

I uninstalled/installed again using the direct link method mentioned, this time I was able to set up wallet successfully. As expected, it still says Prepaid Card is unavailable.

So if anyone gets that message I mentioned, I guess just try reinstalling. I now have the newest version, awaiting Google's new security patch.

Thanks for the help guys!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] woldy2:
IMO, everyone should be using the browser method to get the APK installed on the phone. It looks like there will be updates coming more frequently. This will allow for the update of the app via the market. Once you have, you can update it like everything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
Some people the browser method will not work, if it's not available in the market thru the app when you go to the website your device will not be compatible. If you can install from browser you can install from phone market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markybob:
right, it doesn't work for me, so i'm glad people still offer the apk's when they get it. *so* thankful
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
have you tried tibu linking it to the market? also appmonster backup one wallet install, from there when a update comes you can select to show it in market from appmonster and it should come up and allow you to update :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markybob:
yeah, doesn't work. when it loads in market it says "this app isn't available by my carrier" and i cant update or do anything. stupid t-mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
If I'm not mistaken the new market automatically links every app to the market, but to actually be able to update you have to be on the right phone, carrier, and country, but of course you can use apps like market enabler or others to trick the market

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
Yeah the market links all app that are in my apps. That's weird because after the update google wallet should be in the market for tmobile subscribers, that is why you are able to update. After the update, Google opened up the app to more carriers besides sprint

No update for me.

Same, here, GN on T-Mo, used the browser trick to get Wallet installed. Previous I had installed via APK, and had the $10 prepaid card.

I have no idea if they would close your account for being in Canada but If you have money transferred to a per paid card then they would have to refund it. It's your money. Anything else would be theft.

thank you for uploading the pic, i saw this in the gnex general section being brought up but I havent reset my app in about 10 hours. All I have done was remove and re-add the card over and over but havent seen that error just yet...but it seems they are making us aware they dont agree with rooted devices ;) but by going to the learn more link it just seems like they are warning us not exactly alienating us from the future use of the app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] p-slim:
I get this message also, and like you stated it seems they are just informing us that rooted devices are at risk, the app still works and my Mastercard payments is working also. I didn't reset or reinstall, the message was there the 2nd time I opened the app today
