This fix worked for me today too to reset my wallet. It wouldn't activate my account no matter what I tried until I changed my build.prop.

Now to go see if this thing actually works. I've had an issue ever since I added money to the card where it says "Sent!" but the terminal never responds.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
worked for me

the fix worked for me.

I put my original build.prop back after adding the google prepaid card, rebooted, and the wallet still works. made a purchase sucessfully.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Put a whole 2.4gals of fuel into the bike this afternoon. The cashier was rather impressed.

I will say this, for instore purchases, this may very well be easier than using a credit card. Most people have their phones more accessible than their credit cards. On the other hand, logging in takes time. With sprint's super fast network out here, the process took a good 20-30 seconds. {undecided} :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EPayne123:
You don't need to login at all. All you have to do is wake the phone up, unlock it, put the device against the card terminal, input pin(if asked to put in pin you will be required to place device back on the terminal), then await receipt.

So, if we are still waiting for s-off to root then we are screwed with no google wallet correct? Or is there a statement yet?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
You can root without unlocking or s-offing your bootloader
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] k-wow:
Worked for me. No longer stuck on activation. But still get unsupported device warning... But that's because of root... So no big deal...Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StormMcCloud:
I just called Google and was notified they are aware of the problems and are working to address them.

I think I am just going to wait on that since I have no clue how to do anything with the build.prop ...hell I don't even know what that is.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Folks, be ****VERY**** careful of flashing other's build.prop files. Each rom has specific properties within this file, and flashing someone else's may or may not contain the same values. Certain things may get broken as a result.

Manipulation of these text files is very simple, learn to do it!

I will upload the stock build.prop besides VM Heapsize which is to be set at IIRC 128 but have mine set at 96. I don't know why no one has uploaded one yet LoL because you don't need to be rooted to get it and upload it haha, just need to be rooted to edit or delete it.

I would recommend that this is used for reference purpose to compare and mod your own build prop by looking at whats on your computer to what you are changing on your phone. It looks like it can be different information depending on on what software version you are on. Not sure what damage it can do but just a heads up! Thanks for posting it though as I couldnt remember which had htc and which line didnt. Lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] l1ttl3z:
Thankx to everyone

jus wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted and tested this... i just tried it on my celly and it worked with no problems... just spent my google money on some gas at a local 7/11
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] clone1008:
So....what does this mean? "Unfortunately, Google Wallet has not been certified in your country or on your device/carrier." All I did was change the 2 lines like instructed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
It means nothing just go to the market and search for Google wallet and download the latest version and you should be good
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
Been stuck at "Adding Card" for 10 minutes now after following verbatim the steps provided.

I'm at that step, and it's stuck.

Nevermind.....didn't realize there were more than 1 of these...

ro.product.model=

ro.product.device=

After changing these (one twice), it worked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dagnasty:
Wish they would fix adding the card. My personal phone is rooted so I was able to use the workaround but my work phone is not and is still not able to add a card :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jefferskn:
I can confirm that this fix works for being able to add a Card on the EVO LTE. I added the prepaid and my Citbank Master Card in case I couldn't add it once I reverted my build.prop back. I have not paid for anything yet but I"m sure it will work fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
i would like to say that i was getting stuck on "Activating Account" after doing a RUU on my phone.

and after following the OP's instructions i got Google Wallet working on my phone.

i'm going to test it out at McD tonight to see if it really works or not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TorxT3D:
my question is..

so when is google gonna officially fix this, so we dont have to hack around it?

i dont like playing with things that might have an impact on my actual cash money.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
This.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] the noan:
So i used this to activate google wallet a few days ago and it worked. I made a backup of the build.prop and put it on the root of my sdcard. I switched from viper to the fresh rom and tried to do it again and it would not work. I tried for 2 days to get it to work again and it simply would not. When i pulled into the best buy parking lot to get a new sd card i had a eureka moment, the past 2 days i was changing the backup build.prop on the root of my sd card and not the one in the system folder. I felt like such a tool. Changed the system build.prop and it worked like a charm as it did before. So i went to the cvs to cash in my 10 bucks and their credit card machines were down. I almost cried. Ill try again tonight somewhere else. They are really making me work for this $10
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] n8dagr8:
Tried this "fix", confirmed it took after reboot but can't get past initializing. The one time I did get it to respond i got some message about google wallet not working. Wtf google? Is this thing going to be in beta for ten years like gmail?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Wow! Worked for me after trying so many times to get prepaid card verified before trying this fix.

Thanks for sharing!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mildlydisturbed:
So, I've got Wallet activated using GT settings.

Can I force stop wallet, revert to my original build.prop via terminal, and start wallet again, or will that kill my secure element?

Last night I changed build.prop, got it activated, de-activated wallet, changed back, and tried reactivating it to no luck.

Right now, I have my $10 on it, I'm going to McDonalds and getting myself an egg and cheese biscuit because I'm classy like that...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
If its activated and you can access it you can change ye build prop back reboot n ull be good
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mildlydisturbed:
reverted to original build.prop, no evident issues. Thanks

However, as an epilog to my original message, went to McDonalds, tapped the phone down, google wallet popped up asked me to unlock it, unlocked, google wallet told me to tap it back on the reader.

I tapped, and tapped, etc... never would register... so very sad....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
google wallet seems to need the internet to work. with the crap radio bugs sometimes the internet isn't available when it should be.

i applied this workaround to get my prepaid google card created then reverted to original build.prop and after rebooting wallet still worked and i added funds and made a purchase.

then litterally 2 minutes after making that purchase, i couldn't make another purchase at the same place.

then i noticed the 3g and wifi were "stuck", couldn't get working internet either on 3g or wifi no matter what I did in settings.

rebooted the phone and internet worked again, and wallet worked again. ive made other purchases with wallet since then.

basically this wallet stuff seems incredibly fragile! brick your secure element just by failing to wipe your wallet manually before a factory reset or other rom flash? recipe for garanteed disaster. wallet requires internet? on a phone with crap buggy radios? recipe for garanteed disaster.

i hope when i DO lose all access to my prepaid google card through who knows what glitch, that there is some way to recover the money!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mildlydisturbed:
tap on the prepaid card, should be a balance and card number... click show card number, write it down. You should be able to have money networks associate that with you if anything happens.

Then again, I might be wrong...

Just went to wallet to see if the exact steps I wrote were right, stuck at "unlocking wallet" for 3 minutes, finally rebooted.. seems absurdly bad...

*edit: show user id, not card number
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Score. Worked for me on the first try as written in the OP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
Well it worked.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/116521172208308664660/posts/VEbqMAySFr1

It was a pain in the ass to get the NFC reader to accept the payment. Don't know if it was their problem or mine.

Does anyone know where the NFC chip resides in the phone so i know what part of the phone to hold on the pad?

So far i've just been laying the phone on the pad and sliding it around until it takes it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
So the top of the phone by the camera lens?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] luigi311:
So I forgot to reset my wallet twice now before flashing a new Rom and I didn't break my secure element thing hahaha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
So still no official fix from Google? Seems absurd to me that its just our phone they are blocking. Especially when everything was working great beforehand.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Traceamount:
Looked all over the multiple Wallet threads, tried searching but - got an issue I can't find a specific answer for.

I'm about to root, from stock, but my Wallet is stuck "activating". What do I need to do to clear it before rooting? I see some people saying they flashed with no problem, but if I can clear it, Id like to. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
I just wanted to say that your workaround worked perfectly on my stock image.

So i just tested it on Fresh LTE rom and it worked like a charm on there as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
You're fine go ahead and root
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Yes, far as I can tell its the one closest to the charging port. Top middle is BlueTooth/Wifi, biggest one is EVDO/LTE, 1xRTT is under the bottom speaker cover.

Ironically not mentioned in the FCC image here
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Broke Down, tried it, still stuck at Activating Account after agreeing to TOS
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
After clearing and resetting google wallet and flashing viper Rom and trying wallet out with that I get the secure element not responding error.

So basically, somehow I bricked the NFC.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
This is why I won't flash a rom until it's properly fixed. Sorry man.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Traceamount:
Don't mean to second guess what you said, but Id like to be more clear. As I see someone just a few posts above got a bricked secure element.

I've already had Wallet set up, with the $10 activated, and made 1 purchase ($2). So when I go into Wallet - it sees my account, and has my e-mail for me to pick from. So I'm taking that as my info isnt cleared. Obviously I can't get to the point, to PRESS the menu button / clear settings etc. What do? :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Ok if you do have it setup then I need to try to clear the settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sachinkhanna:
Worked like a charm on Fresh Evo 5.1.1, didn't even need to reset google wallet settings at all
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] luigi311:
Not sure if they fixed the SE break thing because I've flashed through 3 roms without reseting ( I'm such an idiot I keep forgetting XD ) and its still a go
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Traceamount:
Cool, did you actually have it set up and make any purchases before re-flashing though? Im wondering if that makes a difference, sorry for bein so particular :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Started a thread about this already, but is there anything I should make sure to do before returning my phone to best buy?

I'm in the 14 days still. Should I just say the NFC won't work? Relock and flash ruu? Or can I leave it stock rooted?

Idk man, not usually this helpless. Feel like crap that I messed it up. Just want it to work how I want and not break in the process.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Morenicano:
Can someone actually post the code with the values actually filled in and not just what lines need to be changed? For some reason I feel like I'm missing something here. Not sure why but I get this after making the changes....

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Yes it's the only fix right now. And I don't know why we would be screwed since you change build prop to original.

I was 1 of the stupid ones with this google wallet thing so I got upset quit trying using google wallet I started flashing over half a dozen roms my google wallet still works like a champ thought for sure I destroyed my NFC chip thanks for the op i got google wallet working thank you.

Thanks OP! I just rooted and unlocked last night and your steps got Wallet back up and running. The prepaid card shows the same balance it did yesterday before rooting/unlocking, which is something I was worried about. I have not been able to add back my Citi MC, but that could be an issue with the bank.

Thanks again.

Need Some Clarification

Ok so I just got my EVO 4G LTE today, switching from the Epic Touch, and I was able to successfully open, update, and log into Wallet walking out of the Sprint Store. Where I got stuck is adding/activating the Google Prepaid Card. My question is: does this workaround fix the addition/activation of the Google Prepaid Card? and this is going to make me sound very stupid (which I can assure I am not lol), but I'm going to assume the term "Secure Element" refers to the NFC chip?

I dont want to do any modding if theres (a) any danger of breaking my NFC chip and/or (b) if this isnt going to allow me to activate and use the Google Prepaid Card because unfortunately we dont have Citibank in my part of NY

Thanks for your help in advance!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Fuzzy Wuzzy:
I'm scared about that too...I've been stuck at "activating account" but I've used Google Wallet on this phone before to pay for something...and then cleared data but it only got to 99%. I'm scared of bricking the NFC chip...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
I went through the same scary process last night. I tried multiple times to set up GW after the root/unlock process, but it kept stalling at 99%. I put it down and went to bed. An hour or so ago, I sat down, pulled the build.prop from the phone, did the edit and followed the instruction in the first post. Just go slow and be careful to follow the steps just as laid out, including all the bits about enabling/disabling SU, force stopping GW and rebooting at the right time. Mine is now activated and functioning, there is no "unsupported device" message and the pre-paid card is registered properly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] klbjr:
Yeah Im getting the same thing. Now in the op you have it as

with a space between the eaqual sign and the GT-I9300 but in the original buildprop there is no space.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
This is what my modified build.prop looks like. This segment has all three replacements in view. There is one on line two at the top and two at the very bottom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BamAlmighty:
It's kind of sad that 2 weeks later and Google still hasn't fixed this.

It seems like a simple server side adjustment to recognize the EVO LTE. Something they could have fixed within a matter of 1-2 days after discovering the problem.

Yet a multi billion dollar company can't even get a handle on this, doesn't really give me much face in Google wallet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] str3tchnut5:
build prop

I am running Viper mod I have root browser. How do I acess Build.prop?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
I use the free version of ES File Explorer, but I suspect the interface is similar. Somewhere in setting, there should be an option to enable root access. You may also have to mount the /system partition so you can browse to it and access the build.prop file. Poke around a bit in your "root browser" and it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
Mine got stuck and is still stuck on authorizing the transaction. Ended up paying with my debit card, hope it doesn't deductible from Google wallet too.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JT114881:
I am currently stock. I had set up google wallet before. I went into wallet settings to reset and it only made it to 99%. I rebooted and it wanted me to go though setting up wallet again. I have tried uninstalling updates, clearing data etc but nothing will allow me to get past the "activating account" screen.

My question is: Is it safe to root or unlock/root?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Did the build.prop earlier in the week and it worked fine until I flashed a new Rom. If u recall I was the one who posted about the secure element error.

Just got phone replaced, well I guess it was yesterday morning now. This new phone has sense reloading every couple hours, complete phone resets, light leakage and the screen illuminates like an LCD tv when touched.

Last phone had none of that. If it wasn't for bricking the secure element...

What happened after I flashed a Rom with wallet was it was sticking at activating for device. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. After trying to get wallet to work again it gave secure element error.

Before flashing the Rom I only did the build.prop fix once and changed back to EVO from GT-I9300. It worked great until I flashed a Rom.

So, I may mess around with this phone today since I'm just gonna.take it back. May cut my losses and keep unrooted til there's a fix for wallet. Not sure if I want to get into this return game over and over. Really wanted to love this phone. Data sucks so bad and WiFi drops every 10 seconds, just really learning to hate it.

Begining to think HTC/Sprint/Google are all going to the ****ter. As much as I dislike apple they are really looking good right now, patent be or no.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JT114881:
Grew a pair of balls and did it anyway. I was able to root (not unlock just root for now) and follow the instructions here. It enabled me to get back into wallet. I will now try clearing the settings again.

From quickpic , touch the screen once on the desired picture to get the share option (the three dots connected by lines). Hit share and select "photo editor" from the options.

At this point you are at the same page that you would be at if you used gallery and did menu, more, edit.

Then just hit the tool option at the bottom right and select pen.
