In EU?

What will be if I try to install Google Wallet on the GNex, with this method in Europe? I'm not rooted. Can I use the app with this method?

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.

Yes, I'm using the TMOUS setting on market enabler. I'm give the wifi route a try because at&t does not have coverage where I live so coming up with a sin card for them will be hard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
I have from what I can tell a pretty much unique problem with Google Wallet and my secure element. Wallet was working fine, until I flashed too many times.

Unlike everyone else however, I did not get the "secure element is not responding error". My secure element actually locked up my entire NFC chip.

Google Wallet would get stuck either initializing(the first time after installing) or just a black screen thereafter.

Additionally the "more..." setup screen would freeze the settings program.

NFC tag reading would also not work.

Uninstalling wallet did NOT restore functionality to the NFC, even after reboot.

To restore NFC(tag reading) function the

am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR_NOTIFICATION

command had to be used.

Has anyone else ever had this locking out of the entire NFC chip issue?

This happens every time I install wallet.

Edit: pastebin of '-a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR_NOTIFICATION' while Wallet is installed(and running in the background) http://pastebin.com/2rbPiWPC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
try to go to a verizon store and beam a webpage or something to confirm if the nfc chip is dead
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
TBH Google Wallet(as long as I can restore NFC tag function, which I have) is not important enough to me to exchange the phone and lose the Carbon Fiber skin and Inductive charging mod I put on my phone since I already used up the $10. I figure I'll wait and see if Google Wallet becomes pervasive enough to be useful to exchange since I have a year since purchase correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
oh no i didnt say to exchange it, but test it with the display phone or if one of the reps have it to confirm if the nfc is still working with the android beam function
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvorbrodt:
just installed on GSM GNex

I just installed the apk on my GSM Unlocked Galaxy Nexus, and I get a popup saying that Google Wallet has not yet been certified on my device or my country. I'm in the USA on T-Mobile.

Did I do something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
It doesn't. I tried it with my friends gnexus. Regardless nfc tags are exactly the same. Trust me my nfc chip is fried when Wallet is installed

Sane here. Can't figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
It seems it has to be yakju build or it won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
What the hell is that and how do I get it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
When I first got my phone I installed the APK, configured it and added the $10 card. I never used it then flashed another ROM and launched and configure it just to see if it still worked. I never used spent any money though. I have loaded a few more ROMs since and I haven't launched it again. If I don't configure it after installing a new ROM am I in the clear or do I have to launch it, configure it, then reset it everytime I flash even though I don't use it.

What if I manually delete the apk from the ROMs zip file prior to launching? What about boot manager ROMs? Do the same rules apply to Boot Manager ROMS?

I would think that if I don't launch the app then Google Wallet won't know who I am and should therefore keep me from being locked out. I just want some confirmation from someone that knows for sure before I chance it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Okay. I downloaded Android System Info and found out I am on yakjuxw. So that's my problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yunlin12:
If you are on 4.0.2, in your phone status it should say your build is ICL53F. If the build # has extra crap after ICL53F, it's not yakju, instead it's yakjuxw. You can also use the Android System Info app to see the build info, and it would say whether it's yakju or yakjuxw.

I had the same issue, I had a stock GSM GN on T-Mo USA, and installed the apk, but got the device not certified for your country, or service provide error.

I followed this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1391881) to change from yakjuxw to yakju, and now the Wallet apk installs and certifies.

The change is pretty simple, but will wipe your phone. It involved downloading the Samsung USB driver and a 4.0.1 yakju ROM (firmware), then flashing it. Once it's done OTA update will get you up to 4.0.2 right away. The download and instruction are in post #2 of the thread that I linked above. The 4.0.1 ROM download is not working through the link from that post, only the USB driver download is working, so use the Rapidshare link to download the ROM. This method is using ODIN, so you can not use any of the standard ROM you download from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Thanks! I'll get on that. I'm on a Mac so I'm guessing I'll have to do a little research on how to do that on one of those

secure element error

I just talked to a specialist for Wallet.

According to him, the error is related to hardware, but it should be fixable. You won't have to get a new phone to use Wallet again. They will officially make an announcement when the fix is available he says.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] porfymartinez:
Which error?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
Secure Element not responding I hope. I think it is because Wallet does not officially support ICS. I don't recall hearing about anyone having this problem with Gingerbread only (Nexus S 4G of course).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stang68x:
Awesome, thanks for the info. I was starting to think this would be the case because it's not officially out for our devices. Once it is, I'm sure the right software will fix the Secure Element issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
Yeah, that "secure element not responding" error. He said I would be able to bring the phone to my carrier and get it fixed when the time comes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Facegarden:
Anyone on Verizon get the new APK working? I was able to install it using the market trick, but once I open the app I get the "carrier/device not supported" error.

I had it installed from the zip from back when that was the only version available, and I used the zip removal method as linked in the first post. Its possible I botched that. Luckily I just restored my backup and its working again, aside from the FC I would get upon scan (but it still succeeded).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
i have it but i updated to it, not installed it directly......not that it should really make a difference

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 PM ----------

i dont want to scare you, but you are doing what i did and might have been the cause for my first phone deciding it hated google wallet after 1 day of use. when you swap roms, even if you booted into wallet once, you should go into wallet and reset it from the app itself so it can properly adjust itself on the new rom build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jenablinsky:
thank ya! you're awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mizuy:

i'd like to try it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
I wouldn't hold your breath, could take a while if you're waiting on carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
Can someone who has wallet working find out what it tries to clear when you reset Google wallet from within the app? Maybe there is something that can be cleared similar to resetting the NFC?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winner00:
In the 4.0.4 update for the LTE GN it has this file will this stuff in it: http://pastebin.com/QQH9yL2e

Also has a few new NFC files. So it has something to do with NFC and Wallet it looks like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
I remember reading a few pages ago, but I don't see it in the OP...

I have a stock unlocked LTE Gnex, used the .apk provided in this thread (NOT the ZIP method) to install Google Wallet, and have been using it. I'm a bit wary of accepting an OTA update or manually flashing a ROM due to the Secure Element issues. I may want to just uninstall GW for now until we figure out what's going on, as I don't want to ruin my NFC chip by flashing something or accepting an OTA.

So to do this, all that is needed is a reset from within the app and an uninstall, correct? That ADP broadcast command that you can run through command prompt isn't needed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
That file replaces the old method of controlling secure element access (via Androids built-in permissions system - in which essentially only Google-signed APKs could use the SE).

Now it looks like this could be Google preparing to allow carriers to install Isis, or simply allow other people use of the SE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
If you reset Wallet from within the app it removes the Wallet applet from the secure element, it shuts down its background process, deregisters C2DM and turns off the periodic action which usually locks wallet.

I think that's the entire list - I haven't looked at the Wallet source in a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
Could this lead to us being able to fix the secure element issue for people that have it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BicolXpress:
can someone help me buy a vanilla mastercard. I wanna top up my google wallet account. Must have a paypal account so i can transfer the money...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NyPlaya513:
hey has anyone updated to the new 4.0.4 and tested wallet after? I assume it should be fine so long as you reset wallet from within the app...i just dont feel like going on phone 3 since i love my google wallet so very much
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
No. Edit: this won't fix the SE issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stang68x:
Damn, really? I thought 4.0.4 would have fixed it. Maybe we need a special APK pushed by Google to officially support the Galaxy Nexus. I doubt Secure Element errors can ONLY be fixed with new hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
I can confirm that 4.0.4 leak and the Google Wallet update released February 1st did not fix the Secure Element problem on my Nexus S 4G. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
Same here :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mistamista2000:
Used the wallet zip method when I originally got the Nex and after originally having force closures and the secure element issues all is good now and it works great.

Attempted to do the 4.0.4 upgrade and getting a fail message about

system/framework/com.android.nfc_extras.jar. Even after removing the files using the method found here, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20444729&postcount=556, it continues to give me the same message when trying to upgrade. Always have to go to my backup to get everything going smooth again.

If I go back to complete stock will I have the option to use the APK for wallet or am I better off where I'm at? I didn't do a backup when I first got the phone. Also this error message seems like it will mess up any upgrade, being forced or OTA.

Update - I flashed the stock 4.0.2 image. Radio's were also flashed. Did the one step root, then updated to 4.0.4 and did the browser to Android Market Google Wallet trick. It installed and works fine. Re-rooted and all is good. Also now boots without the annoying updating applications issue.

Is there a common factor people with those issues share? Carrier, app installation method, etc?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Ok. I'm a completely newbie here, i have to read i don't know how many pages, but would like some input of you guys. Please

So here's the deal: I'm in Venezuela, will be travelling to the states in April. Have a GSM stock (not rooted) Galaxy Nexus. Want to use my Gnex to pay some things in the states via NFC because it's cool and not available here!

So. I have a citibank account in the states, and i have a bunch of Venezuelan credit cards valid internationally. Both Visa and Mastercard. I want to know if it's possible for me to add my Venezuelan Visa/Mastercard and be able to pay with them via Google Wallet...

They work fine in the USA, but i want to be able to buy with them via NFC.

So that was my first question.

As for the second... i'll like to install Google Wallet in my GSM Gnex, which steps should i follow? I have a non rooted device.. and really i would like to get Gwallet in my device without rooting it. Is this possible? It doesn't appear when i search for it on the Android Market. Oh! and i am running 4.0.2.

Can someone please enlighten me step by step? It would be a treat for me to use my Gnex to pay while on vacations in the states. Like i only get the chance once a year. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
can someone teach me how to use this? i tried to use it on 7/11 but it doesnt work. i got $10 prepaid on my google wallet. no matter how many times i tap the phone on the scanner, nothing happen. i tried screen on too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengals1975:
Open the app, enter you PIN, then do it ( with your screen on).

There's a security feature where it "times out" and you have to re-enter your PIN, you can change this in settings. Mine's at 5 min.

thats pain in the butt... couldnt swiping my card faster?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
At the moment citi cards are supported w Google wallet. Can't install on 4.0.2 because it doesn't have the files for it, only a AOSP rom w 4.0.3 can or like I'm doing now the 4.0.4 update supports it. You can't do much tho because of it being a unrooted phone. Only rooted phones can work w Google wallet..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bplewis24:
Having done it several times already, I can assure you it is not a "pain in the butt."

You can easily open the app and input your password before you get to the register. At that point, it only takes a tap for it to process.

Can someone confirm that disabling the app and restoring it again after flashing a new rom works. I'm rooted and running stock deodexed 4.0.4 I'm scared to install it and for it not to work ounce its officially released on Verizon.

I have been using gw since December 2011. Rooted and rommed :-) . Never had a problem. Wiped several times and reinstalled. I guess I am lucky.

Has anyone gone from Stock Rooted 4.0.2 to Stock Rooted 4.0.4? I'm guessing I don't need to do a full wipe, nor do I need to reset GW from within the app? Can someone confirm? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
Last time I checked (which has been a while since i'm scared of the secure element error so I am not using wallet until there is a solution) the only credit card you can add to Wallet is a Citi Mastercard. I don't think its possible to add any other cards yet. Someone please correct me if this has changed in the past month.

As for getting Wallet installed on a non rooted device its pretty easy. Download the apk from the OP then run it using a file manager like Astro on your device. Your phone will ask you if you want to install it just like if you were downloading it via the market. You will also have to turn on install from unknown sources. Settings - Security - check the "unknown sources" check box.

I can sympathize with no one answering your incredibly simple question. I have found that for whatever reason this thread does not contain the helpful people that most other xda threads have. I have been trying to get my simple question answered for a month now and still haven't gotten an answer. Hence the reason I simply don't use Wallet anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvanVanVan:
The reason this thread might not have all the answers is because people just don't know what exactly causes it. And don't know how (if it's even possible) to fix SE errors.

So you could have people throwing out their best guess as fact, or they could do the right thing and keep their mouth shut before getting you in trouble. Be grateful for the help that is given.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvanVanVan:
For anyone else wondering about updating from Stock Rooted 4.0.2 to Stock Rooted 4.04:

-0. Take note of your Google prepaid card # just in case.-

1. I did reset the wallet within the app (took a titanium backups before and after resetting).

2. Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache in CWM.

3. Flashed stock 4.0.4 update.zip.

4. Used the GNex toolkit to re-root.

5. Renamed recovery-from-boot.p

6. Re-flashed CWM (touch version) via GNex toolkit

7. Made another Nandriod and titanium backup (of Wallet).

8. Opened wallet without restoring anything, set up a new pin and what not...

9. Made one more Nandroid and titanium backup for safe keeping.

My Google prepaid card was still there with the same balance (I'm guessing because I've already called and verified my account with Money Network).

Everything seems fine, 4.0.4 seems alot faster...

Wallet PIN Vulnerability

I am finally able to disclose a major vulnerability I found in Google Wallet. Basically, I am able to uncover your PIN without a single invalid attempt.

Please see below for our press release, detailed blog posting, demonstration app and source code.

Feel free to ask me any questions or report any issues.

The app is also able to give you some useful information about the state of your secure element. This may be helpful for people with SE issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
Great read! This deserves its own thread in the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S forums!

I have the secure element issue on the Nexus S 4G, and I downloaded walletcracker.apk. On a fresh install of Wallet for someone with the SE issue the email account is not displayed for some reason in the wallet app and you get the SE pop up. I set the pin, closed the app, and opened the cracker app. After a few presses of the reset button it could not find the pin. I did a slight work around on the main screen of wallet - pressing the lock button repeatedly until I am presented the wallet welcome screen. I selected my email address and was taken to the main screen and once again I got the SE pop up. Now when I go into Wallet settings my email is displayed. I close the app, open the cracker app. After a few presses of the refresh icon my PIN was revealed! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
miasma, I am willing to submit a report via your app, maybe your findings can assist those of us with the SE problem.

Interestingly my Secure Element Transaction Counter is -1 and my Secure Element initialized is false.

After resetting the PIN the wallet cracker could find it. This is on the most recent version of Google Wallet from the Android Market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] importtuner:
Soooo, more google wallet experiences from me tonight...

I went to a local CVS that I used wallet at last time successfully and tried to purchase something else tonight but it didn't open up wallet after holding up the phone.

It was another register from the original one I was at previously and it had an older machine.

Can anyone confirm if they have had wallet work on this NFC station?

Held the phone up to it for at least 20 seconds, moved it away and towards it a few times, I got nothing, no response from the phone.

I'm not sure if I have to be in airplane mode so there's no data connection with Verizon or I always have to clear data/cache before every use, or if I have to have wallet open BEFORE I go to check out (I didn't have it open last time).

Also, another variable was when I went to go pay, I was using my phone with 4.0.4, where last time I was on 4.0.2.

This is a Verizon LTE Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kmaloof:
Has anyone looked into the possibility of entering a new pin into Google Wallet after a fresh install as the source of the secure element issue? If the pin is to get into the secure element it must be stored in both the phones data and in the se for verification. When the data is cleared the secure element is unaffected from what I understand so maybe when the wrong pin is sent it locks itself down. I know nothing about how it works and it is just a guess but I haven't seen if anyone has looked into the possibility...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick N:
I have. I have also used a different account. I have tried everything short of taking the phone apart!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ctbear:
I should have checked this thread earlier...updated ROM last night and got the secure element error when I opened Wallet :(

Restored to nandroid backup (old ROM) and same result. Hopefully a fix will come soon.

Nice work. Can you share the reasons the SE issue might benefit other than reading state? What development skills are needed to go further with your code to actually clear/reset SE?

XDA never ceases to amaze!
