Guys back up your build.prop in ROM Toolbox and edit it in there. Once you set it, clear the data from main settings menu under apps/wallet. Then reboot, clear the data in wallet again, and it should work. Once you set it up and then clear the data, set back to the jewel id in the build.prop. I had mine rooted but not unlocked and did this. Then I did the full automatic root, and worked like a charm. Did it one more time and flashed custom ROM. Anyway, I talked to a Google rep and he said that it should be fixed soon. Hopefully sometime tomorrow if I would guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a few days.

What if u are unlookes and rooted and wallet says its not active for my country and device message...will this work
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
Yeah should anyways

Did not work for me...i also used the .zip's

in "19300" is it an "i" as in insect or number1

Looking good

now trying to add card and it keeps going for a while then says error adding card

any ideas
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ShadowDrake:
Yeah I had to call them for this one but you won't have to. go to settings, apps, find google wallet, erase data. don't need to uninstall updates or unregister first, your secure element will be fine.

Start wallet again and log in again and attempt to add the prepaid card again and it will work fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kenpen:
ya says error adding card again

does it matter if i did not clear google wallet before flashing a different rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] k-wow:
not working again...

i was getting error:

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

then i followed the steps in the OP and got it to work again... when i changed the build.prop back to original and turned on SU, i am back to above error. Are we not supposed to change the build.prop back? In other words, do we need to keep it as if it is a GT-I9300?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgrgrd00:
I have the same question. Do we need to leave the modified build.prop now? Because the mod isn't working anymore for me either. What are the ramifications if we leave the build.prop modified?

It seems like Google is spending more time trying to keep us from using this than they are trying to "fix" whatever they think is wrong with our phones. :mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ckoadiyn:
As far as I know and I have no clue what the ramifications are of doing that..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
I had to leave my build.prop changed (as GT-I9300) to keep Wallet working. I've had it this way for 2 full days and haven't had any issues with anything yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] imex99:
As others have noticed when flashing new rom build.prop goes back to stock build.prop

Well I flashed rom and did build.prop edits as I have been doing the last few weeks and wallet has been working and used my credit. Tonight it's stuck on activating and doing same as before. Wallet opens but wont activate.

Can anyone verify still working or if its shut down officially even for modified prop?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neopolotin75:
+1 on this...Ive had mine for 3 days working perfectly without changing build prop back....

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
I hate to focus more on this but, given my element ain't broken yet, I want to keep it working. I want to do a nandroid restore so bad, but I can't because flashing or resetting will brick it.

I tried gti9300 and HTC_jewel where needed and neither worked for granting me access back in to clear wallets settings.

Gonna have to bite the bullet and stick to th rom and flashed mods I have.

Went the htc_jewel method, it works.

Realized I had to rename EVO to htc_jewel as well, 13 or so lines into the build.prop *facepalm* :p

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
I tried htc_jewel and still can't open app.

I tried GT-I9300 and now the app opens but it's stuck on activating account on the initial license scree.

I stopped wallet and cleared cache and data and rebooted and made sure internet was working before opening wallet after each change.

Was working fine a few days ago.

Original stock rom never flashed just root.

Damned Sprint/Google... :/

PayPass is an open api anyone can use. (unlike visa)

So, I wish Dwolla would use it and to hell with Google or Sprint. No special prepaid card and maitaining a balance in someone elses bank account. Just dings right out of your own checking account.

I definitely do not want "carrier billing" that's for sure. Sprint charges me enough already and has forced me onto newer more expensive plans despite being a continuous 12 year customer and despite my usage staying the same and my quality of service going _down_, not to mention things like charging me extra for wimax and lte when they don't even exist in my area... I root for Sprint as less evil than the others, but they aren't actually _good_, so no, when "sprint wallet" comes out I probably don't want anything to do with it. Even if they have a prepaid card like google instead of carrier billing, it still means floating a couple hundred in their account continuously for them to make interest on instead of us.

No. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEYofR:
Here's a question... How The Hell Are You Supposed To Reset The Secure Element If You Can't Even Open Wallet???

What a fat MESS this whole business is.

Meanwhile I had the SIMPLEST idea the other day... instead of futzing with nfc... why can't a pos display a qr code that links to a paypal transaction? I really had the idea for restaurants. Generate a pending paypal (or google, or amszon, or other...) transaction when you print the bill, print a qr code on the bill that links to that transaction. Beep, accept default tip or enter your own, enter feedback if you want, hit pay, done, maybe display phone screen to proprietor on the way out so they see receipt paid, or maybe they have their own screen already showing them. 2 clicks, done. no nfc, no special pos hardware, no special phone, no Google/Sprint nonsense...

I'm really confused with this Google Wallet issue! Is it really still necessary to do the build.prop, since Google has acknowledged that the problem is on their side?? See Google Message below:

"Thank you for getting in touch with our team. Google Wallet is temporarily

unavailable on your device and our engineering team is working hard to

make sure Google Wallet is working as intended. We will be sure to let you

know when full functionality has resumed".

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

OK the htc_jewel method just worked for me. I didn't do it completely enough before.

This time I made all 3 lines, 2 different occurrences of ro.product.model and 1 occurrence of ro.product.device, all say the same "htc_jewel"

Force stop Wallet, clear data, reboot.

And this time wallet allowed me in, activated, sign-in screen, that worked, add prepaid card, and my previous balance showed up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:

htc_jewel worked for me too. Now I'm debating whether to reset Wallet or not so I don't have to worry about bricking it anymore. :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] k-wow:
htc_jewel is the new GT-I9300 google wallet fix... It worked for me too. Let's see how long it last.

awesome man im starting to think about doing this.. But im real scared about screwing up my secure element. so my question is this method doesnt screw up your element even though you couldnt clear out the wallet settings?

I'm leaving it alone for now, just did this to reset it so I could put a new ROM on.

HELP

first off do you have to be rooted?

and can someone help me do this and edit it? (i'm kinda a noob) sorry
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikivy:
Yes, you must be rooted. The build.prop file is located in /system and without root, you cannot access it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grayn0de:
CONFIRMED (htc_jewel)

Confirmed Fix (for me):

1) modify build.prop with 'htc_jewel'

2) wipe application data for Wallet

3) reboot

Thanks! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Saneless One:
I didn't have to wipe data to get mine to open up, but I already had activated my account previously and already linked it to a CC.

For now I just reset it so I could do a ROM soon. I don't want to hack my way into using it because I don't want to get caught up in another instance where I can't access it to reset it (which is stupid) and I'll wait for them to get their act together.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kenpen:
Is it still two line to change or three and if so whats the third line

I know....ro.product.model,ro.product.device, and what the third if any

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Check out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721965 I have no idea why but it seems modifying the build prop to get wallet working causes the front camera to have a red-purple tint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neopolotin75:
So is htc_jewel the new GT-I9300 for all 3 lines in build prop? Im still rocking the GT-I9300 but Im wanting to revert back to avoid the purple red tint thing that I get with the front facing cam. It doesnt seem clear from the posts if everybody is changing all 3 lines....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kenpen:
I had to change all three and do have issue with front facing camera
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neopolotin75:
All 3 to htc_jewel?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
YES CHANGE ALL 3 TO htc_jewel

I just did it on mine since the GT-I9300 wasn't working anymore and was causing Google Wallet to get hung up on "Account Activation" after i hit the "I Agree" button.

So here's what i did.

1. Force stop Google Wallet

2. Clear Google Wallet data/cache

3. Changed bulid.prop to say htc_jewel in all 3 spots

4. Shut off SuperSU

5. Restart phone

6. Open Google Wallet and try activating

The activation took roughly 30-45 secs.

I made sure that my WIFI connection was ON! and connected before i opened Google Wallet to activate.

Hope this helps you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
so say im not rooted yet and was planning to do it today. im pretty sure i signed into wallet at some point, then cleared my settings. cant say 100% for sure that i didnt get signed back in after that, but im fairly sure i didnt. will clearing data in the applications menu do the same thing as clearing the settings from the app? i want too get rooted today, but i dont want to brick my wallet since i cant get into the app to clear through there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
No it is not the same.

Are you able to get back into Google Wallet and do a RESET GOOGLE WALLET from the SETTINGS menu inside the app?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
no, because i get the not supported error and then the app closes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] butterbuns:
You will run the risk of breaking your secure element. Only way to be sure you don't is to clear the settings inside the app its self
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
thats what i was afraid of. and i assume there is no way to trick it into thinking ive got a nexus without it being rooted, correct?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
He runs the risk of breaking the secure element from rooting?

I don't think so.

I say root it.

Apply the build.prop hack for htc_jewel

And then report back that it works ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
If you use ZEDOMAX rooting method I don't think any data gets cleared but if you use regawmod I think thats what its called it does clear data and wipe phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
Ya i'm not 100% sure on if Rega wipes or not.

So just use Zedomax's root method to get root

get access to google wallet using the htc_jewel build.prop hack

then unregister the google wallet and do rega if you want to flash a new rom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
Regawmod's does wipe because it requires HTC Unlock (or it does the unlock for you... Either way it wipes).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] neopolotin75:
I don't have any issues with it being gt-i9300 except for the red/purple hue on front cam....I sure wish they would fix this quickly...what's funny is I've gotten the same generic message from Google wallet support 5 times this week only difference was the name.Lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NORCALkID:
Lol funny thing about the purple reddish hue is that I hadn't even though about front facing camera u til this issue was mentioned lol... I've used Google wallet more than front facing camera.

Have you actually tried tapping your phone, rather than just "holding it over" the sensor? For me, that's the only way it worked, but it did work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Neipas09:
That is correct.

If you open the app then it won't work. At least for me it didn't.

What i do is hit the power button to turn the screen on.

Tap the top of the phone on the pad (the camera lens area).

It prompts for your wallet pin.

Then it asks you to tap again.

Tap the top area again on the pad.

Payment goes through.

I'm going to make a video on how to do it probably today and post it on YouTube.

I'll post the link later.

Why would rooting the device cause an issue with the secure element? I don't think rooting alone will damage the element. As long as you don't unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM, or factory reset you should be fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
I think u r right. Having bricked the secure element myself, I'm a bit weary to root again while wallet says device unsupported. Got a replacement phone and all, so, I don't want it to happen again.

I can live with sense 4 for awhile until the first ota and wallet fix. May have to root when source code is released tho.

I like the mods, roms, and everything. They will still be there after the fix. Hard to not be impulsive and flash, flash, flash for me. Really don't want to lose any functionality on my phone if I don't have to. Even if it is just silly Google Wallet.

Used your build.prop and it worked like a charm. But it only works on the Updated version of Google Wallet (not the og version that came on the phone). Opened Wallet, logged in, and it added my $10 card. :)

What else have you changed in your build.prop? I may just stick with it. I saw you changed the Apple issue with links, anything else?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] munsterrr:
Never used Wallet.

Root and s-offf(not htc dev)

Followed your instructions with your build prop.

Unsupported device.

im **** out of luck arent I?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] juggaman:
Not at all. Its going to say "Unsupported Device" as long as you are rooted. You should still be able to use it. The fact that it opens means you're not SOL. Add a card and go buy something!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] munsterrr:
Apologies if I miss read this earlier. I had the understanding that unsupported device meant no secure transactions.

Still have no clue what the difference between secure and "unsecure" is though lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Socrguru:
I think the "unsupported device" message is just Google covering their ass - if you're rooted, you could have messed with some setting to make transfers unsecure and someone could steal your info. If you're not rooted, they vouch for the security of your information (basically saying by rooting, you're taking your security into your own hands).

I've been fairly upset with this advertised feature, google wallet, not working on our phones unless you trick it with the build.prop edit.

Anyway a couple of interesting things: I called sprint last week when my wife received her Galaxy S3 with a fully functioning google wallet and a speaker that has got to be twice as loud as this crappy speaker we have. After several techs played dumb and acted like they had no clue about the problem, I talked to one tech who "googled" the problem. She read word from word from a website that had the build.prop fix info. She actually told me to do this if I want google to work. I said "you're telling me to root my phone" she said not really but that's what you have to do to fix google wallet. Say what?!

And, here's the reason I'm posting this today:

Despite reports of wallet working now, my phone still is not.

But here's the kicker-My wife just informed me that her google wallet is giving the same message about "unsupported device" now on her Samsung Galaxy S3(She's not rooted).

I made a few flashable zips to modify the build.prop for you if you don't want to do it manually (and so you're not just copying someone else's build.prop, which might come from a different ROM or include changes you don't want).

The WalletFix-htc_jewel.zip will backup your build.prop and change your ro.product.model and ro.product.device to be htc_jewel.

The WalletFix-Revert.zip will restore the backed up build.prop (to whatever it was before you flashed the first zip).
