Has anyone tried the new update? I'm curious to whether it fixes the old broken app or if it breaks our work arounds

I downloaded the Google wallet update for my non rooted evo lte and it didn't fix the issue. It still doesn't work. It says it is not yet available for your device or mobile network.

Yeah, it was for the Galaxy SIII users.

Nothing happened. I even had the Wallet app open. It just does nothing. I really thought it might have been my case interfering with the signal. I have the Qmatix case that has metal on the back side. I wish I knew someone else who had either this phone or another NFC capable phone so I could see if it would work back to back. Until Google fixes Wallet for us, I can't tell Sprint it doesn't work. I really had my hopes up last night when I saw the update.

Hopefully her S3 is working after the update from yesterday. Who knows if our phone will ever work without being fooled to think it's another phone. Please don't get upset with the tech that was explaining the root option because they sound like they were really trying to help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
I just got notice of several updates, one of them being wallet (I did not receive any update notice for Wallet yesterday).

I did the update, let it sign me in (still says "unsupported device" of course), created a pin, and added a Google Prepaid card.

My $10 shows up, finally.

I did NOT edit my build.prop file. I have NOT tried to use it to pay for anything yet.

I may try tomorrow if the coffee place in the building I have to go to has an NFC compatable device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] McAwesome:
This thing makes no sense to me I originally set up wallet under one google account on my phone and added a card no problem although it took about 10 minutes to add the card. Then I odin'd back to stock and added my other gmail account to google wallet because the orginal was not activating or whatever. So now I just got 20 dollars free. This doesn't make much sense how they are gonna be able to afford giving every gmail account 10 dollars when they sign up.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sacksyboy:
Does this method still work.

I had some problems with my ARHD ROM so I went back to stock + no root (before the alerts came out to reset wallet before doing so).

My phone gets stuck (ver. Jelly Bean) on Activating Account. Any ideas on how to rectify this?

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
I'm almost ready to give up.

It was working (at least it ran anyway), then there was an update, now it's not yet supported on my device or network!

Nice half hearted attempt, Google. Good luck making this the preferred method of paying.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
Is this thread even relevant anymore?

I edited my build.prop file to:

I changed my ro.product.model=GT-I9300

ro.product.device=GT-I9300

I still get the "Unfortunately, Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network".

Sprint is the ONLY carrier that has an agreement with Google for this to work!!!

Btw, I can't clear the settings in Wallet if I can't get Wallet to open. All I could do was clear the cache and data in settings/apps.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] massivebasset:
I am in the same boat. Want to flash a new rom, but am scared too without being able to get back into Google Wallet to clear settings. Wallet used to work with the GT-I9300 build.prop, but now it doesn't.

Anyone experience the above and decide to rom hop anyway with any success? I dont use wallet (cant right now anyway) but I would hate losing the functionality.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cyclejoc:
Wallet

I've flashed at least 2 roms without resetting my Wallet. Forgot to reset before flashing and both times I was able to get my Wallet working without a problem or extra work. Go figure....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
I hate being the roody poo party pooper in these threads, but google wallet can and will break secure element when flashing or changing roms. At least it did to me. It actually could've broke in the rooting process, but I'm not sure.

Just wanted to tell u there's that chance, even if u can get into it and reset/clear/etc., that the secure element will be tripped into not responding.

This is a stupid security measure. Glad they took the time to kinda undo it with the last update making it easier to add your bank cards and disabling them through the cloud.

Maybe some of these secure element not responding bricks can be unbricked? Hope so. I've broke 2 EVO's trying to work an exploit to gwallet. Twice the secure element stopped responding for reeasons that in general consensus shouldn't have. Not blaming the consensus at all, only gwallet.

Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!

It works for me out of the box? I just get the infamous "unsupported device" message.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leebo:
there is a Q&A sticker at the top of this forum, one of the Q's is about Google Wallet. In that is a link to a modified apk for Wallet. It has been modified not to check for device or carrier.

I followed the instructions on replacing my stock apk, and finally Wallet runs on my EVO LTE.

I was going to look into installing mean Rom just to get Wallet working, now I may not bother.

I suppose it's possible a hacked apk could potentially send cc info to somebody, but thankfully laws in the US protect consumers from liability.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] coffeeis4closers:
I am running CM 10.1 on a samsung galaxy s3 with ATT. I changed the three lines in my build.prop file and was able to successfully install and use google wallet. My question is do I have to reset google wallet and uninstall before I flash a new nightly update of CM 10.1? Can I just flash the update and change the build.prop again?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
If you're only wiping cache and dalvik you should be fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Hm, I just tried this, and I'm still getting an error adding the Prepaid card.

I wonder if they shut it down for the G-Nex too, because too many of us are trying this workaround? I'll clear Wallet data and try again :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
I never had the error for prepaid card before or after doing this... I just couldn't get it to activate no matter how long i let it sit. Then I did this it activated and I added my prepaid card right away took it a min n worked....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] par05is:
i can't seem to get this to work it shows that i changes the build.prop but google wallet still gets stuck on activating device.any suggestions?:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
How long did it take to get added?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] doitda:
This worked.

Only cleared data then edited build.prop.

Rebooted and Wallet activated properly and my 10 bucks is still remaining on the Google prepaid.

Forced stopped Wallet, changed build.prop back, rebooted, and Wallet continues to be fine again.

Prior to this I was stuck on activating.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
After doing this fix? It took a minute or so was still rather quick.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
I got it working on my phone but I

Went to settings on the google wallet app then I reset the google wallet app then I uninstalled the app ... After I did the steps the op posted but I used jrummy toolbox pro to back up my build prop and configured it how he explaied. After I did all this i went to super Su app and I went to setting and used the hide SU feature. I then went to the market app and cleared data and cache ( idk why I did this but it extra precautions to get it working). I then rebooted went to the market and downloaded the wallet app again and now I'm at my local 7-11 enjoying a coke and a hotdog on google :).!

Lol my Sig says I9300 EVO LTE FTW!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Also guys I didn't have to disable superuser.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dpilcher:
Not supported

Unfortunately, Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device /carrier.

Looks like they may have blocked the GT-I9300 as well?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mobius1484:
I'll have to try this later. I didn't know that they had blocked the Evo, though I had noticed that I only got device unsupported when having root access enabled.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] doitda:
Are you sure you made the edits correctly in the build.prop?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I noticed in my build.prop that there are multiple "ro.product.model" lines. Did you change both?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
Just go directly to the android market and download the updated version
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dpilcher:
Yes, thought that too at first. Did not download the new version of wallet though. Will try again as soon as I get to the range.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
I changed the two product models yes the other people idk
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blkswanpres:
I only see one product model
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Nope, I still get an error trying to activate the Prepaid card. I wonder if this is because I'm running a custom ROM, or because I had to hard reset when I first got the device, and I didn't clear my Wallet settings? I'm not getting a secure element error, and I can still activate fine. I wish I knew what's going on. All I want to do is buy some coffee on Google. Can't have anything nice :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Lol that's weird man I'm running vipers Rom....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I'm running Charmeleon, but I think others are also and not having this issue.

I wonder if it's because my phone isn't activated (I'm using it on WiFi currently). I had Wallet working previously, though, before I had to hard reset (on the stock ROM). I'm really at a loss at this point.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
When you fixed the build prop did you uninstall google wallet? Then rebooted? Then did you download the new app from.the market?

Don't forget to deactivate the wallet app from settings menu
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yup. Did all of that. I even tried it once disabling Superuser, but it was still a no-go.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DZLRULZ:
I only suggested disabling SuperSU if you don't want the "Unsupported" error. I know it's not necessary.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dpilcher:
I went back and tried again, this time I downloaded the new Wallet and installed before setting it up. Didn't get the unsupported message this time, but the card still doesn't set up. Back home now and will try one more time, didn't uninstall the original wallet will do this wipe everything that has to do with this block, install fresh and give it another go. Has to be some underlying reason they are blocking this.

EDIT: Still a no go, going back to og build.prop

One thing I did notice, when I log into wallet on my PC a paypal transaction showed up. I obviously didn't use the wallet and sent the payment through paypal and have not put this card in as payment type on paypal. The card I used to attempt to get the prepaid wallet card has NEVER been used other than that one transaction. If they can grab a transaction from another source and show up on wallet, wth is that all about.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kmagn13:
worked like a charm!!!!

for the people that it is not working for: Did you have wallet setup before?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dpilcher:
Set up yes, prepaid card finalized...never
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I did have the card set up previously. However there may have been an issue with my device, so I'll be trying again and seeing if it works.

That might be the issue... I had setup and added card before... Just got stuck after a hard reset

No no no. The frozen strawberry lemonade is where it's at !
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Antebios:
It worked! I changed the properties and both ro.product.model properties. Afterward I rebooted. It took a long while to authenticate, and a good while for Google Prepaid cars to be added, but it eventually worked. I did not uninstall GW, already had SU denied. Woo-hop! I have my money back! Tomorrow I'm going to go try to buy something.

Funny: look at the signature below by the XDA Android app. It's using the build properties that were modified for this fix, even though I'm typing this on my EVO LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
So something strange for me - I got the device initialized using the fix in this thread, but couldn't get the card added. Uninstalled Wallet, changed my build.prop back to normal, and rebooted. Did the whole thing again (changed build.prop again), only this time the device wouldn't initialize. Uninstalled, reverted to normal build.prop, rebooted again.

Just for S's & G's, I decided to try Wallet again. Opened it, updated it through Play Store as it asked, then opened it again. Got to the legal screen and for some reason decided to scroll all the way to the bottom, then clicked I Agree. And it initialized very quickly. I still can't add a card (that keeps timing out still), but I double-checked and my build.prop is saying jewel.

Could they have fixed the initialization thing? Did I get dumb luck? Or does scrolling through the legal crap actually do something...?

EDIT: Eh nevermind, just get stuck at "Validating device" or whatnot after a reboot. Ignore this post :P

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EPayne123:
1. Reset Default Settings Through Wallet.

2. Go To Market And Uninstall Wallet Updates.

3. Enable Root Through SuperUser.

4. Change Lines In Build.prop(1st "ro.product.model" ONLY worked for me, DO NOT Delete the newly created "build.prop.bak".)

5. Disable Root.

6. Reboot.

7. Install Wallet Update.

8. Setup Wallet & Activate Card.

9. Wait For Card To Be Added Successfully(Will Get Notification Within 2 Minutes).

10. Force Stop Wallet Through Settings -> Apps.

11. Enable Root And Revert "build.prop" back.

12. Disable Root.

13. Reboot.

14. Open Wallet And Check To Ensure Card Is Still Active And Showing Balance Of $10 IF Not Already Used The Initial Free $10.

This Is My Process So Far. Let Me Know Your Experience. Not sure about other Root Browsers but Root Explorer actually creates a backup of "build.prop" the way it was before modifications named "build.prop.bak". What I did once I was ready to restore the lines to the initial text was just delete the "build.prop" file and renamed "build.prop.bak" to "build.prop".

Somebody clue me in as to what im missing here. Wallet and nfc is a new technology with many unknowns.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Because who knows how long it will be or if it is something we will need a ota for. We are in a modding community to fix these things. Some of us I am sure got this phone to use wallet which made it a deciding factor. Google n HTC should have had at least this 100% I can deal w sw glitches or radio problems(things being tweaked in firmware for better noise reduction etc) but main features is kind of a no no. I know there is something wake that's borked in sense 4.0 but it isn't something I use however if there was a fix I'd do it.

no....idk what i am doing wrong i have tried this like 10 times still no dice.i'm going to sprint to get a new one tomorrow and im just going to leave wallet alone until i root and edit build the retry.its probably because i unlocked bootloader then relocked then unrooted then rooted back.

Meh I guess I don't care as much as others since I have a galaxy nexus stock that I can use google wallet for so I'm a little more willing to do things :). Hopefully there will be a real fix tho soon as this will take extra time to do if we need to do this every time.

Question...

So if I were to log in to my Gmail account on another nfc enabled phone like the viper and setup gw, would it then show up on my evo since I don't have to add a card to my gw account?

It makes sense in my head however real life and my brain sometimes tend not to agree
