Finally rooted my phone and running Android Revolution HD and Franko Kernel. Re-installed Google Wallet and my balance of $1.89 was still intact. Not once did I receive a secure element error. I must have done something right to get Google Wallet to work after rooting my phone. I'm a happy camper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggad:
Cheers OP got it installed nice and easy. Now to test it out in the UK. has anyone managed to top up the pre-pay card from the UK yet?

I have read 20 odd pages of this thread and couldn't find an answer. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but yesterday I returned a keyboard that I purchased at Best Buy with Google Wallet and the money was added to my account within 18 hours. Surprised by how quickly it went through.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pandafloski:
So...

For the life of me, I couldn't NOT get that "reader detected" screen anytime I tried to use wallet. On CM9, AOKP, codename, etc. Tried various ways of removing/uninstalling (all with fresh wipe and rom flash) via resetting within the app, restoring from titanium backup, doing the broadcast thing, etc. Literally all the ones listed on this forum and then some. Still nothing. So, in desparateness, I completely unrooted and went back to stock 4.0.2, and just installed the APK. Now nothing happens when I hold it up to the machine. My NFC chip works fine (NFCclassic picks up my car2go card). Never had the secure element error. Is there just something physically wrong with hardware in my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
Question for those of you who are having issues at terminals:

Once you found out it wasn't working, did you tell the cashier to select Credit on their end? Sometimes that is a key step, as the card swiping machines/paypass terminals don't accept cards until they do that.

I used to work at CVS awhile ago and we had the paypass reader built into where you slid your card. I know that as a cashier, I needed to hit credit on my end before the paypass terminal would pick up on any NFC chip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
Very true in my case and has happened at CVS, McDonald's, Circle K, and Best Buy. Almost every time Wallet got hung up while payment processing it only took me telling cashier to select "credit" then it goes through.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
I have another experience to add to this thread.

Today my phone got stuck on the boot animation so I reloaded my current 4.03 ROM. When the device booted up after flashing the gapps.zip I tried using my NFC for a tag but it wouldn't work. Additionally, trying to access the "more..." settings menu froze the settings program.

At this point I tried multiple ROMS etc and had no luck getting my NFC to work until I restored my nandroid backup from long before wallet, the first day I got the phone.

I then flashed back to my 4.03 ROM and everything works fine until the Gapps.zip adds wallet which breaks the NFC again. Removing wallet from the .zip makes everything ok but there is apparently no way for me to get wallet working again. I tried the ADB command and everything, but whenever I reinstall wallet wallet itself just opens to a black screen that is frozen and it destroys my NFC(plus the settings freeze)

Is there anything else I can try? Is my secure element bricked forever(meaning I should exchange)? Or should I hold on until google releases an official .apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qman66:
i didnt wait i exchanaged it. i think thats ur best option
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
Will they reimburse me for the carbon fiber skin and zagg screen protector? I'm guessing no but figured I'd ask. Its like $50 total
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Laintsurge:
Sorry if this is already been answered somewhere.

Is it necessary for people outside the US to permanently have Market Enabler set to T-Mobile USA? Or just when you wish to run Wallet? Or just for the first run?

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
I live right next to the Us border, could i save the APK go down for a day and load it up while i'm there without having to root my device ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilsonlam97:
Nope. Since your SIM isn't a US carrier sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dark lord me:
What about going down and putting in an AT&T or T-mobile sim card?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] check12:
I have am running 4.01, rooted, with the zip version of wallet.

I have a backup from before I installed the wallet.

Am I safe to do the following?

1) Reset Google Wallet from within the app (I only have a prepaid card attached to my account)

2) Restore my nandroid backup of my phone from before I installed the wallet

3) Upgrade to 4.02 (Android is nagging me to update)

4) Install the wallet .apk using the instructions in the OP?

Thanks very much :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunnyismyname:
The answer would be no.

i asked USunlocked about topping up the google wallet card from the UK

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your message. We have tested it ourselves and were able to link the card to the Google wallet. I must add that we have not gotten any customer feedback on whether this worked for other as well. In any case, you will have to go online and set up a US Google account while connected over VPN. Then log in on the app with your newly set up account.

I would love to hear whether that worked for you.

Kind Regards,

Linda Hemerik

US Unlocked

don't know if this will help anyone, if they have a USunlocked account could they try it???

just a thought......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evangelion01:
Well that's strange, at least two different reports on XDA say USunlocked does not work. Furthermore, why would you need a US Google account when others have topped up using non-US accounts?

I suspect that Linda Hemerik is talking about the online version of Google Wallet (formally Google Checkout), and not the mobile NFC payment app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gdogmatt:
Help

Running a Galaxy nexus 4.0.2 straight from Verizon. Downloaded the .apk and installed google wallet. Was able to make it through the wizzard but it keeps crashing saying:

unfortunately, wallet has stopped

ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tripjnj:
I am rooted VZW 4.0.2 and just installed the Wallet APK. Was a breeze to set up and it now says I have $10 on the prepaid card. Now I just need to get to Wawa so I can try it on a cup of coffee :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2, T-Mobile ~

Downloaded the .apk, installed without a hitch, added my Citibank cc and then added a Google prepaid card for $10 free credit.

So easy!

parse error

Nexus 4.0.2 straight from verizon, 3rd party apps enabled. The apk provided is giving me a parse error. Tried sending as an attachment thru gmail as well to no avail. What's up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madj42:
That might be your problem. According to a couple of other previous posts in this thread they had issues with the yakjuxw builds. I'm not sure what this build has over the others but it might be necessary to switch to the yakju build to get this working.

Try following the instructions in the 4th post on this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
that IS the problem. For this to work the build needs to be yakju... whether stock or pauls mcr rom

It is extremely easy to do via fastboot (for stock) if you don't know how to do that then just flash pauls mcr (or any other custom rom that is yakju)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spielnicht:
Nice, this worked for me no issues whatsoever.

I had the yakjuxw stock ROM, upgraded to stock yakju, installed CWM and kaboom, worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Man_Utd:
I got Wallet to work. But I then did a wipe and re-installed everything. Now I'm getting the following error:

Secure element not responding

The Secure Element has stopped responding. Please contact Google Wallet support.

Anyone know how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madj42:
There was an update to Google Wallet. New version is v1.1-R41V8. I tried updating from the market, from the apk posted on the Nexus S thread, and the ICS zip from the same thread. Looks like we are stuck on this older version until Google removes the "Google Employee" requirement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:

Market link

How did you guys get past the fact that are device is not "compatible" with that market wallet. I have wallet installed but it says its not available on my carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiterThanWhite:
Has anyone gotten Google Wallet to work on their Galaxy Nexus after updating to ITL41F? It worked perfectly on ITL41D, but now all I get is "error activating card" when trying to activate the Google Prepaid card.

This sucks. Knowing Google, Wallet won't be available in the UK until June next year...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
It just worked. Then the carrier message appeared while it was already downloading :-P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Yes works fine for me with the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madj42:
Yeah, it does say that if you don't remove the existing APK first. Once you get this installed it warns you have to be a Google employee.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] House M.D.:
Does anyone know if that will work with Galaxy s2 i777?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DOHCtor:
Works perfect! And I got an extra $10 when adding Google Prepaid card. Already used up the $10 I got from my Nexus S. So cool how they give you $10 for each new device lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] check12:
Just wanted to say thanks very much for this. I have used it a few times already and refilled it once via Vanilla MasterCard (I am in Canada).

Thanks again!

Can't download from Market. Can someone just post apk from Market?

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

Can you post the APK that you installed from the Market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davidukfl:
in a bit of a pickle guys. Flashed an update from AOKP 17 to 19, however when i booted up i noticed GAPPS weren't still installed, so i reflashed them.

However all of the GAPPS got their data cleared, including wallet.

when i start wallet now it is at the new setup screen. I don't want to run through it in case the secure element gets locked.

any ideas how i can reset wallet and clear the applets off the SE?

the only backup i have is a TI backup from a different rom and i have no nandroid before flashing B19 AOKP

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------

alright ended up just logging in and seting up wallet and it worked. Was worried for a moment but its working fine now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Natolx:
Every time you do it is a risk so just keep that in mind. Mine is fried :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TofuWarrior:
From my experience, that should work. I used the zip method just to get first crack at GW. When the apk method came about, I tried using the linked instructions on removing the zip version, but I got FCs on GW start. So I just nandroid restored to when I just finished rooting and unlocking my GNex and installed the GW apk and it has worked flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qman66:
Looks like there is a google wallet update available on the market. Is it safe to update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukegb:
I have updated to R47v1 and have had no issues with it. The OP has been updated with a link to my mirror, which contains the stock apk from the market.

Updating from the market should be successful, but as always I urge caution and ask that you take backups before updating.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
Mine is even listed in my apps in the market..

How are you all getting update notifications from the market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qman66:
thru titanium backup i hit force to enable in market on google wallet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcellis:
I updated and it seems to have worked (stock, rooted 4.02). I haven't tried purchasing anything but I was able to open the app, view my balance, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
Is there a change log or what's suppose to be new in the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengals1975:
1. Faster and easier to add funds to the Google Prepaid card with simple one step process

2. Cards used for adding funds to the Google Prepaid card are remembered in your online wallet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EvanVanVan:
Think I should reset the SE from within the app? or just go ahead and install the apk on top of the existing installation after a titanium backup or two?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] check12:
Appears to be working for me too now!

Thanks to everyone involved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0mie:
Update works fine on Stock/Rooted GSM/Sprint/Verizon Nexus :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Native89:
So a couple of days ago I decide to unlock and root my GNex. Everything goes without a hitch except that my Google Wallet hangs at "Initializing" and I eventually get "Wallet has stopped".

Fast forward to today and I decide to try once more, but now I get an Error telling me to restart my phone. I do so and whadayaknow Wallet is functional again original balance and all transactions intact.

Just wanted to share my experience with the app. Phone is stock 4.0.2 besides the bootloader and root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
Just to be clear... You first rooted or first installed Wallet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Native89:
I installed Wallet first and rooted at a later date. After which I reinstalled with the apk. I also did not use Titanium Backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] budmannxx:
This worked for me as well. The Money Network phone number is in the "Contact Us" link in the app. Wanted to add that the phone rep told me their rule for SSN verification is that after 3 reloads or $400 in reloads they require users to verify their identity. She asked for my name, address, birthday, SSN, and phone number, put me on hold for 2 minutes, and confirmed I was approved/confirmed. I was then able to add funds again. She also confirmed this is a one-time verification after the 3 reloads or first $400.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Royal2000H:
And you didn't uninstall Wallet or reset it within the app or send the ADB signal before rooting?

If you did none of those... Based on what other people are saying, it sounds like you got really lucky. People have killed their Secure Element exactly like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Downr@nge:
Can someone re-upload the apk on a different host? As we all know megaupload has been shut down today by the feds. Mediafire or hulkshare are good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeston:
Just to make sure, if I'm just updating, I don't need to go through and reset wallet or anything right? Just install the new APK?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lpasq:
...though i thought i removed market link, i woke to market notification that wallet upgrade available for download...i did and all is well:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Native89:
Did none of the above. Rooted my phone on a whim after ordering a USB OTG cable and didn't realize the unlocking process would wipe the phone until I was halfway through the process.

Of course I still have yet to actually try buying anything, but my balance of .12 cents is holding me back. Everything else is still functioning normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ren97:
You know you can use double-payment method? Just ask for the counter employee to pay with credit card, then another method to pay the rest. Tell the employee how much you'll pay with the first method tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AaronDC19:
So the other day I tried a custom ROM, only to restore my back up of the stock ROM. Then today when I tried using Google Wallet it just keep flashing as sending, never actually sent. It was working perfectly fine before that. I don't have a case on, and didn't have a data connection. And I can load and use the app perfectly fine.

If anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
Same thing here. :(

Does anyone knows if I restore my nandroid backup will it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AaronDC19:
That's what I did. It didn't work.... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyCr15:
This is something I hadn't thought about. Obviously my Credit Card with contactless payment doesn't have a data connection, so I guess it's not needed, but how does (or does it need to) the app check your balance and such? Or does the payment terminal check your balance, based in the info the app gives?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
I got it to work, I just tested it at the gas station.

This is what I did:

1- reset Google wallet withing the app

2- unistall google wallet

3- remove the applets:

adb shell
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR_NOTIFICATION

4- reboot phone

5- install google wallet

Good luck.

Parse Error on install

Anyone get this? not sure what's going on. I wonder if it has something to od with my process.

I first unlocked /rooted my device using WUG's utility.

Then I loaded all my Titanium backups from my old Thunderbolt to the nexus. restored them to the nexus. I was specific to only include aps I wanted I had taken from the market - not anything else

DL the APK from this thread and .. nothing. I get unable to parse. No clue why, the restore from TI Backup is the only thing I can think of. Market apps are installing just fine. Everything is working perfectly. Just can't get Google Wallet to install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I just unlocked and rooted the phone, then restored the stock backup and it stopped working. I was prompted to reboot the phone, but I got "Secure element..." after the reboot. I don't know what got into me today. I wasn't messing with the phone because of the wallet and I totally forgot about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I did the same thing and got the same result. I did back up what I had and restored it after unlock and root. It didn't make any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wbknox:
google wallet & market

how do i get gw to show up in market
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
Need titanium back up pro and force it in the market through app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] civicsisedan:
Which is why I've been staying stock..

Sucks man. Sorry to hear that. I returned a nexus already because of the secure element not responding. Don't wanna have to try and return another again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
I got that by unlocking and rooting, then restoring what I had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
I apologize if this has already been asked but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.

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] mafiaboy01:
Quick question, do I have to have the newest version or will an older one still work fine?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
So, let me ask a simple question here.

Has anyone with "secure element..." error successfully recovered the Wallet and made it work again yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mafiaboy01:
I just did restored a backup I had with titanium.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Parafly:
Still wondering WTF this is all about. "There is a problem parsing the package" when attempting to install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
The old one still works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Parafly:
I'm an idiot. I emailed myself the APK and apparently the full file never moved over. No idea what the issue was. Moving it manually and then installing via Astro worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
So, it is not something you would need a new phone to have it fixed as some suggested.

I never installed any other ROM or different version of wallet. All I did was unlock the phone and restore the backup and that got me the error... I don't get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mafiaboy01:
Well I'm not sure about others but I tried upgrading. That gave me the error so then I just restored the old app with data through titanium and everything is fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaduncan:
With the secure element error, does it actually display an error?

My phone just sits on "initializing device - this may take a few minutes" forever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
Yes, it explicitly displays the error about secure element not responding and "exit" is only option. Well, you could poke at different part of the screen and get around the message, but you can accomplish nothing in Wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maresch:
If I top up my Google Wallet account, can I use the credit for Google Voice as well and vice versa? Is this the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stang68x:
Would it be possible for you to post your Titanium backup file for Wallet? I only have on backup for Wallet and it's not my earliest one, unfortunately. I am getting the Secure Element error and would love to fix it like you.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
I don't think so. I haven't found a way.

Have you tried this?

1- reset Google wallet withing the app

2- unistall google wallet

3- remove the applets:

adb shell
am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR_NOTIFICATION

4- reboot phone

5- install google wallet

Edit: Forget about the above. I didn't know this:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You cannot enter Google wallet to reset the app if you have an SE error.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paverdude:
unlocked, rooted, flashed cwm, installed google wallet apk all with Galaxy nexus Toolkit, ran market enabeler and then wallet

All is good, set up prepaid card, go my $10 credit

runs good, on my way to try it out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koolbon:
Actually you can. you just ignore the message by clicking the blue background instead of "exit" on the message. Then, you click on the google waller icon on the top left. It will let you in and get to the settings.

But It didn't do anything for me. I've tried that multiple times wiping the phone.

edit : I did the procedure and it didn't work. I did that AND wipe the whole thing, reloaded the stock and it didn't work.

I wiped the whole thing after the procedure, then installed 4.0.3 custom rom with wallet and it didn't work.

I don't know what else to try... It really sucks cause one of the main reasons I bought the phone was Google wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trevoryour:
Does anyone have an answer to the question posed above?
