I never set it up before rooting and was aware of this but since i never set it up will i be alright? As soon as i rooted i backed up my factory image, did a factory reset and then set up GW... It asked for SU permissions and i didnt allow, however, i didnt enter a card yet to try and use it. I guess my question would be; when does it actually the error? Thanx...

Edit, And if is does give me the error when i enter card info, can restore the original image and will it fix itself or did rooting break this? Lol, thanx again...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtrezpasor:
I think your ok. It's after you set it up if you then restore your be screwed

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lawsofpower48:
yea i never set mine up as well, i opened the app to see wtf it was but never got pass the setup screen i just exited it....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
Eww, no error here yet but when exactly did it error? When you just set up your account or when you gave card info?...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mskip:
Moving to General Forum but I will sticky it for now so its near the top.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mercado79:
one important fact to keep in mind. so long as you have a nandroid backup of a time when google wallet worked, you can always restore that backup, reset google wallet while there, and then return to your new rom.

the proper way to do it is to reset it first, but it's not like if you forget, you're out of luck. just make sure you keep a backup of the last rom where you google wallet was working.

This should be stickied.

How would this affect people who have multiple batteries?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nokiaxv2:
Ya Chris, your youtube video is what I watched while standing in McDonalds trying to figure out why it didn't work correctly. :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Just purchase quality ones like the OEM that have the NFC antenna.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kchitown1977:
good to know, and good vid by qbking. i use wallet frequently so know i know when i root my phone in near future
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FrameCityJackal:
This has happened to me about 5 times already at the gas station. I scan my phone enter my pin then it says something about choose a card but I can't :crying:

When you first start the app you know how under the google prepaid it says default card and it's green?

I always press that thinking thats how it selects the default card and whenever I try to deselect it sprints 3g sucks so bad I give up and use cash...I just want to use it at least once tho
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techusky:
I've skimmed this thread and didn't see a question about this, but I may have just missed it... Anyway, if you forget to (or didn't know about it) reset Google Wallet before flashing a new ROM, does anyone know if you can restore a nandroid backup that had a functioning Google Wallet on it and still have it working?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
Interesting. I've never cleared my Wallet settings and I've flashed my own ROM about a dozen times wiping data as well and my Wallet still works fine. In fact, I just bought something from CVS with it yesterday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] spadeace9:
very niuce
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JDMpire:
Just thought I should mention, I have a Vz SGS3 running on T Mobile network and I tried the app (from the Play store) and got a: "Device or network unsupported" message...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] superhtchd2:
just thought id post, my google wallet wasnt working a few days ago when i got my gs3.. woke up today and google wallet said it updated, it let me sign in and get the $10 free bux , havent actually tried to swipe it yet but im assuming its working :D using on sprint
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
I guess mine should work

Hi guys Sprint GS3 here. Had trouble on stock on GW. So I ended up rooting on stock Rom and removing the bulk of unused apps. I made a nandroid backup before root. Before flashing anything I reset Google Wallet from inside app. Since I have flashed Blazer v1.6 Rom which runs great and Kettle Kernel. I've also backed all apps up via Titanium Backup. Eventually even trying out the Sprint Touch recovery which the devs did a superb kjob on all of those. Since then I had reset GW in app on the new Rom. Forced stop, wiped app cache via app list and disabled GW. Then since it co.es in stock roms or add on roms.. most atleast and Im backed up via Titanium I had uninstalled GW via root uninstaller. Now since its been reset disabled and uninstalled... will I be fine if I attempt to set it up in the future? I also recieved the unkown device message before I reset and uninstalled while under root. If it will be fine will it as others posted be fine under root conditions too? Is it recommended to not grant root permission on GW if asked. Thank you. First post, total noob, I'm glad I've had no issue rooting and loading roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aaron130:
Just an FYI for everyone. I have flashed MULTIPLE roms and forgot to wipe gw every time, lol. I just went to a 7 Eleven and bought a few packs of gum with no issues at all!! Still works fine and I've never wiped my Google wallet within the app. So I do think know if they have fixed something within the app or what but like I said I've flashed at leased 5 times ad my gw still works fine!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ScrapMaker:
You guys know that the credentials are no longer stored on the device, right? Somehow it's all cloud-based, except for temporary keys or something. This is the most recent update that allows you to use ANY credit/debit card now. Pretty slick stuff.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jnadke:
The OP changed the title as suggested after I posted.

This way the title seems more important and attention grabbing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] grimphate:
Does anyone know if rooting after setting up wallet and not resetting wallet would brick secure element? Or if rooting then restoring from nandroid backup would brick? Also is there an easy way to tell if your secure element is broken besides trying the phone at a retailer?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hunterbeav:
I rooted my phone a few days ago....I did back up at that time ..part of the rooting process. Would I be good to go. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
As long as u didn't set up google wallet u are fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LoveNFC:
This is completely false. If you receive an error that claims your secure element is not responding, software backups will do absolutely nothing to fix it.

Secure element issues are hardware-related. No backup will save you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RotaryXperiment7:
is gw only working on sprint versions of phones?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
yea it is even if your rooted it will work itll tell you u have a unsupported device but will work but if your going to reset ur device to factory please make sure to clear google wallet through the app read the OP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RotaryXperiment7:
I have tmobile version was just wondering if anyone got it to work for it yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
sorry misread that but not too sure are you rooted? why dont u give it a shot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RotaryXperiment7:
not rooted yet. I tried to install app but get a "unfortunately, google wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device/carrier"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] @rbiter:
wallet is only broken when phone says "secure element not responding" correct? i tried using my wallet the other day at cvs and nothing happened. i have no other oddites besides unsupported device which i think doesn't mean it is broken.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] streets814:
Hmm is this needed if you are rooting but keeping stock rom? Sprint s3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hunterbeav:
That's what I did rooted and keeping stock Rom....I wanted free hotspot and when the devs get a few kernels going I'm going to try for better battery life. I'm wondering if the sbc kernels are needed for the sgs 3...I always used one in the evo 4g to help with battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] streets814:
So did ya have to wipe wallet or did everything go smooth with the root? Ill probably wipe just to be safe but just wanted to know as reference. I'm sure I'll try different roms/kernels eventually but this is my first touchwiz device everything on the overlay is new had sense ui for ever or some variation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
is ur nfc turned on? people are saying when they click to turn on nfc it check then unchecks instantly is your staying checked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] @rbiter:
Yes it stays checked. And nothing out of the ordinary in google wallet app. Just worried since ive tried at a couple places and nothing happens.

...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
all ur google wallet says is unsupported device correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] @rbiter:
Yep.

...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] @rbiter:
I got it. My google wallet technique was no good. Holding my phone bove the terminal about 3 seconds and SCORE! The clerk chic was in awe. I almost asked her if i hold my my phone to your boobs can i score your digits. :o

...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
I'm having the same problem. And yes I'm on Sprint. Try to open wallet to set it up and that message pops up then it automatically closes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crzy619:
^ I never opened wallet or set it up. Did a back up of Rom right after installing recovery before rooted. Used recovery zip root and i have same issue. open wallet, says unsupported then closes. I never wiped anything :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] klownin816:
I'm on stock / never rooted and it still tells me its unsupported. I have a Sprint GS3 32 gb which I just received today. Are there issues with the app itself?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hunterbeav:
I didn't wipe anything before rooting but I never launched it or set it up before rooting so hoping everything's going to be ok.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] deserted1:
Guys most of you are not reading, the following providers are not going to get google wallet, ATT, TMOBILE, VERIZON.. Yes you can find/install it from the market but your not going to get past activation thats for sure.

They are all combining to build ISIS. Same concept just slower to launch. Google wallet is on the forefront, but we are loosing out because our provider doesnt want to us to use Wallet.

Sprint however has already embraced wallet and its users are happy... Go figure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crzy619:
I have been reading and i am a sprint user. klownin816 is sprint too... Im going to flash the latest build that was released (same version as now i believe) in the am through odin and see what happens. I cant imagine do this would mess anything up....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmcmahon89:
Used wallet several times to make purchases. Today it says not been certified on my device I'm on Sprint. I know the Evo LTE had this issue. Anybody hearing anything about this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
Ok im getting reports of Google wallet not working even on stock devices i think it has something to do with sprint not for sure but think it has something to do with sprint trying to release a competitor app to google wallet making it impossible for both apps to control the secure element so youd have to choose between google wallet and sprints touch wallet nothing is confirmed but thats my assumption

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...-to-launch-a-google-wallet-competitor-1084799
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G3noobie:
I don't understand Sprint was boasting before the pre-order launch of this phone that this was a benefit of having Sprint as your provider because this was pre-loaded on your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] soicyboy:
I don,t know if i should be concern because i downloaded the app from the play store and tried to open it but it said that my country/net work isnt supported.

So two days later i rooted my phone not wiping anything and then afther aquiring root i uninstalled google wallet using room toolbox. So my question would be have i already mess something up, and can you just unistall the app then flash a rom/wipe and then reinstall the app although it doesnt work on tmobile.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
I can confirm Google Wallet is not working on stock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] palillo2006:
It doesn't work!! I was using wallet on a rooted stock rom just 2 days ago. It would have the unsupported device warning but all I would do is deny superuser permissions. Now I get a warning saying "Google wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device/carrier." Wft!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReggieTee:
Mine was working last night. Today it's not. I think Sprint nuked it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jahspree:
Have had my gs3 bout a week now. Never activated it Just checked to confirm what y'all are saying was true but mine is working. It still shows the 10$ is ready for use and everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
While the idea is cool, I just don't see a big benefit to the who mobile phone NFC payment thing. In the real world, Chip + pin doesn't require me to have always charged my card before leaving the house, and even if wallet can replace your payment cards, most people still need to carry other cards (insurance, drivers license, etc...), so it's not like you're real wallet will go away. I guess it could be a decent competitor to "1-click" on amazon for online purchases.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hunterbeav:
True that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] komugi:
Is Google Wallet only working on Sprint? Is AT&T disabled?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BarryH_GEG:
It still works on AT&T. You need a rooted phone and have to install a hacked APK that overides the device and region check.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] komugi:
Do you have a link to it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RotaryXperiment7:
Does it work for tmobile as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caileb:
How about Sprint?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
What ROM are you running? Cm9? I can't get it to work on TW
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FreydNot:
I would guess he is talking about this thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
Can someone else confirm this? I'm willing to root my AT&T SGS3 only if Google Wallet works after rooting. I have no other reason right now to root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] infideler:
Just updated to LF9, all stock, unrooted - and Google Wallet is back up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] caileb:
I can confirm - just needed an update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] G3noobie:
After update GW is a GO!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mercado79:
No, this is not "completely false". I've saved myself from a secure element error in the past on my Nexus S 4g and read of others that have done the same thing. Fluke? Maybe. But it DID work for me at least once. I'm not suggesting anyone tempt fate and not wipe Wallet before switching ROMs, but I am telling the truth based on personal experience.

Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geargamer:
Where are you getting the Lf9. If your talking about what it says after the version number mine is different. I also have the latest version installed. So does this mean if I root/flash I won't have to worry about the security issue anymore? I have been waiting to root because if this.

Or does this update not have anything to do with the security issue just if it works or not?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] QWIKSTRIKE:
The security update is out LF9 is that update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bizdady:
New update LF9 on wifes phone finally allowed wallet to open up but it wont load the google prepaid card. It keeps saying try again. ANyone able to get their prepaid card loaded after the update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yukkerz:
Got the update and google wallet worked for me. Even got a free $10 gift card from them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geargamer:
Wow, You must be getting updates before me. I just got one that said it fixed the security.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] s3xda:
if you havent rooted this WILL NOT help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] geargamer:
Well this update broke mine. It was working before the update but now it's telling me my device is not supported. I can't even get it to open.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkey Man Zero:
I'm on stock 32GB LF9. The update changed the error, but did not fix it. Now I receive the message that the app needs to be updated, but it is fully up to date.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rev3ge07:
Anyone stuck with the update loop? Keeps saying needs a update but there is none i already updated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Monkey Man Zero:
You mean in the Wallet app? That's exactly what I have going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brnail:
Add me to the list of people in the update loop. Very frustrating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yoniinfante:
hi guys finally got my s3 today lol first post after leaving my E4GT rooted on store lol well...for me before and after the update GW is not working either i think we must wait...thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Smac7:
have we confirmed that this is false? Has anyone done this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wramos93:
Is anyone running Freezas stock deodexed rom? google wallet and S memo isnt working, wallet keeps saying there is an update but when i go to the market it doesnt give me an option to update and S memo just keeps crashing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackte4:
I'm in the loop too. Google we need another update please.. I would like my $10 giftcard credit plus $40 for waiting
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
I unrooted and flashed the stock software just to take the update but it didn't help. Was this OTA a deliberate attempt to disable WALLET or the rooting process removed some security components that rendered the device a security risk?

One other note is that I never used or set it up before until I started reading about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Picked mine up yesterday @1:00PM EST, first in line at Sprint store. Updated right away to LF9 so I never got to see wallet in action. App doesnt open, says "this version not supported and needs updating"...same thing after update no matter what I try to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
Did you update via the OTA? Are you rooted? Did you flash the rooted update?

I am suspecting that it's the rooting process that rendered it useless even though I read some claims that the OTA LF9 update did it. Guess I'll never find out the advantages of the Wallet.:(

I don't intend to be "unrooted" for long once the custom ROMs come out anyway.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 AM ----------

Just got off the phone with Sprint and they are probably clueless. The tech couldn't figure it out so he suggested to ry again updating the APP from Google Play Store later.

I was browsing the Google Wallet security website and it says that Wallet info is stored in a computer chip called "Secure Element" and is built-in the phone. It also states that the Secure Element is isolated from the OS and hardware and only Google WALLET can access the chip.If true then rooting will not disable this element.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Yes it was the OTA update, on completely stock, only out of the store for ten minutes when I got the notification, not rooted. After reading more, some people say it worked prior to the update and the update broke it and some say the update fixed it for them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
I tried opening Google wallet for the first time after seeing that ota push yesterday. I got the same error about not being supported that everyone else is getting. I haven't rooted my phone or done anything really, pure stock. Google is really screwing the pooch with this roll out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
This is NOT the issue we all seem to be having on this thread, but I came accross it while searching for cure and thought I would pass it along:

http://phandroid.com/2012/05/28/and...allet-a-factory-reset-could-break-it-forever/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gingson:
I think some of this is BS. Read my post above. Google stated in their Wallet Security website that the "Secure Element" is totally isolated from the phone OS and Hardware. Only "Google Wallet" can access the chip. If this true then only the APP can breach it.:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVSiN:
Bought mine yesterday as well. same issue never even got to open google wallet.

no root even attempted at the time the OTA had disabled GW.

Really kinda upset as was interested in the app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] OneStepAhead:
I'm running wallet just fine on my rooted GS 3. I had tried to take the OTA update and it borked because I didn''t flash the stock recovery back before hand and now it wouldnt let me download the update again. So I restored a nandroid backup I took when I got the phone and took the OTA update, then flashed the v4 recovery and root files. Opened wallet and was good to go. No update loop. However I did the same process on my mothers phone and she has an update loop!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dropzone9540:
Ditto. Phone was updated by Sprint employee during setup. Got it home, rooted it, then tried wallet. Stuck in update loop, never got into the app. Hope its not toast. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ramzes13:
I was looking into the NFC in the battery question, and i thought it strange that the chip would be located in the battery; what happens if you go aftermarket? As it turns out it looks like the NFC chip is on the pcb of the phone and the battery has a built in antenna.

***How to FIX Sprint Wallet update issue***

***How to FIX Sprint Wallet update issue***

1. Go to Settings and choose system update

2. Click Update PRL

3. Click Update Profile

4. Start Google Wallet....It works for me.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Just tried it, it didn't work for me. Still getting the message about device/network not being supported.

I've seriously lost any interest in wallet that I may have had. I'll stick to chip+pin cards, thanks. They work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ls1ssz28:
I was able to use Google Wallet with my Galaxy Nexus and it was actually pretty nice.. Anyone have ideas why my s3 that I got right out of the box is having this issue?

EDIT: I updated my profile and PRL and it is now working
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dropzone9540:
Nope.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ls1ssz28:
What I did was clear all of wallets data and cache, then update it... go update profile and update PRl and thats how mine started working and got the $10
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dropzone9540:
I've never ever opened wallet. It has no data and no cache. Still can't open it. It always wants me to update.

Can I delete the app through ADB and reinstall?? Or would that really F things up with the security features?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shripal989:
Yeah...I had also cleared data for Play Store and Google Wallet...and then followed my original instructions
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CVSiN:
No joy here.. still does not work.

taking my phone back to Sprint today.

getting repeated texts as well..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dropzone9540:
Unrooted, back to bone stock, did all updates and PRL/Profile stuff and wallet is working. Must be related to root somehow.

Oh well... who needs wi-fi tether anyway? :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
its NOT root related because im not rooted and bone stock it its not working :cyclops:
