First, if someone (ie me) only has the free $10 dollars from google wallet, then you only need to do the part for the google prepaid card?

And, do you know if anything needs to be done about any of the gift cards that you can add in. I have not done any yet but I do plan to at some point.

Thanks and great job. The instructions are pretty straightforward which is always important when you're dealing with money related things.

I still get the "unsupported device" error on my Verizon S3. Can you tell me which Wallet app you are using? Is it the one from the Play store or a modded one? I'm on the stock rooted rom btw.

So no one has found out what files on the rom need to be backed up to keep google wallet from breaking? That seems like a lot to go through everytime the rom gets upgraded.

Anyone confirm or deny if a cwm restore from before breaking secure element will fix it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
Updating OP with more information to the questions asked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
I am not sure if you did or didn't. If you get an unsecured error then you did break your secure element. If not then you should be fine. Try to use the Google Prepaid card and in the future, remember to Reset Google Wallet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
You should not uninstall it via this method. Always Reset, uninstall the proper way, and do not use any Titanium Backup or other methods of "restoring" the application. It may break it permanently.

Till the Secure Element is figured out properly, it is better safe than sorry.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
No method has been found. I don't think it would be a file (I could be wrong =P).

The secure element is a physical chip. Till someone hacks it and figures it out, everyone will just have to be careful.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mw86:
Thank You

Thank you for the great guide. I posted in the other thread on Google wallet and this answers my questions. When I update my Rom from Blazer 1.6 to a future update I will try setting up GW. It was reset in the app before I flashed the rom. Subsequently was reset, forced closed, disabled and uninstalled. As is I should be able to reflash a new Rom and leave the Security Element intact and ready for use next time its installed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nubbert:
There is now a fix for Verizon that works for purchases. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1769083

If you have a nandroid from when you had GW set up and not reset, restore that backup and then reset GW and then flash back to stock again. I'm not 100% sure that will work, but you can try it.

If you don't have a backup then it may be borked. Again, try it before you write it off.

If the progress is stuck at 99% then it's the same thing that happened to me. I simply restarted the phone and it had actually reset.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jfree3000:
I'm on Sprint so I don't know if this will work for you, but I flashed a new rom and forgot to reset google wallet. I went back and did a nandroid restore to my previous rom and google wallet was there functioning normally. I have actually done this twice forgetting to reset it each time but both times I nandroided back it was just fine.

Maybe I was lucky, but I have to find a way to remind myself to reset it just in case when I flash new roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] marcucci217:
This kinda happened to me too. I foolishly factory reset (accident, don't even ask lol) on my Verizon S3 and thought I was toast. I then restored a nandroid backup I had made just after setting up Google Wallet as instructed on these forums and it still worked. I thought I was screwed because I had forgot to reset Wallet, but I was ok I guess. Haven't gotten a secure element error or anything and I can see my funds.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you should not be careful. I think I just got lucky as well.

Probably time to update this thread. The new version of Google Wallet supports all credit cards and keeps the info in the Cloud. Should alleviate any concerns of ROM Flashing and messing up your Wallet account.

Was wondering do I need to reset wallet before rooting. I'm not flashing any roms yet, sticking with stock for now until I decide on a rom. Since I'm just rooting, I'm guessing no need to reset wallet but do a nandroid just in case I need it later.Thanks

No, just root away. After launching, Wallet will show "Unsupported device" but will work just fine.

My Google Wallet is working again.

Worked in Nexus, recently upgraded to GS3 and now rooted with Bean's ROM (thanks for the 50GB DropBox!).

without reading all this about the Wallet on GS3 I restored using a Titanium backup from the Nexus and got the "insecure element" error.

I uninstalled and reinstalled using the method here and got it all running!

Thanks a ton!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] erandhawa:
I screwed up and forgot to reset my wallet and thought I was SOL. After panicking for about 30 seconds I went to a desktop computer and did the following:

1. Log on to my google wallet account.

2. Clicked Disable Wallet App under the Devices section.

3. I then did a wipe and reflash a rom on my phone.

One that was completed I went back to the google wallet website and under devices you can click recovered, reactivate or found phone something like that don't remember exactly what it was.

I then reinstalled my google wallet app and today went to Petco and tested it out 3 different times with 3 different google wallet cards all successful.

So if you forget to reset try the above steps saved me I was in panic mode.

I haven't been able to get into Google Wallet in many months (says March 28th was the last time I made a purchase with it), I flashed a ROM update and did a factory reset, before I found out you must do a Reset in the app first... Haven't been able to get in ever since. The messages it displays differ by version...

I have NEVER gotten a secure element error though. So I'm hoping it's somehow fixable still.

Currently what it does it lock up, indefinitely, at "Adding your account..." after selecting my gmail/google account. It says there forever. It does this in the latest or prior 1.5 v75 build.

I've tried patched and unpatched APK's, sideloading, flashable zips, market enabler, etc. I've wiped the phone multiple times, tried different ROM's, did the "Disable Wallet App" from here: https://wallet.google.com/manage/#devices: - turned NFC on /off, cleared app settings... you name it, i've tried it...

Anyone ever find a solution to getting past "Adding your account..." ?? Anyone want logcat data or something to help us try and solve this... I really miss using Wallet :( And again, I've never gotten a secure element error...

I've encountered a problem recently with my Wallet where I was deleting my cards stored in it, then resetting Wallet through the settings to prepare the phone for a factory reset. Right after performing the Wallet reset, Wallet kicked me out and said my device or network wasn't compatible with Wallet...and this is a Play store Gnex on the stock ROM. I did the Wallet reset because of the scare about how not resetting Wallet first before a factory reset could result in a bricked Secure Element chip. I did the factory reset of the phone anyways but the problem still remains...any idea what happen? It's like resetting Wallet bricked something, which is what I thought it was supposed to prevent.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ArgyleDX:
Quick question...

So, my phone was stolen about a month ago :( I remotely disabled Google Wallet, but I got a message saying my phone had never signed in again, thus it was unable to reset the Wallet app since it was off the network.

Weeks later, and my phone was recovered. But it looks like the jerk who stole it freaked out when I tried to install Plan B remotely and wiped the phone.

Fortunately he didn't format the internal SD card and I was able to restore a nandroid backup. I signed into the Wallet app after signing back into my Google account (of course I had since invalidated the authenticator, etc. as well as changed all my other passwords) and the remote reset finally took effect.

I should be good right? I signed back into Wallet, added a card (noticed it didn't access the cards I have associated with my Google account, I had to readd the info manually), then I reset it again. I would have gotten a secure element error while doing that if something had screwed up, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nomad64:
You should be alright. I have done a lot of flashing and restoring using both TB and nandroid, and have yet to have an issue with the secure element. If NFC wasn't working right, Android would have thrown you some kind of error during the setup process.

When in doubt, find a vending machine that is equipped with a credit card reader (as these usually accept NFC-based transactions) and play around with it. Some people may look at you funny, but you don't have to hold up a checkout line while you figure out what buttons to press! :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eventer289:
If my secure element version says "Not present," does that mean it is hosed? Also, if this is the case, since they have done away with the prepaid cards, can I still use a linked credit card, or will those be broken as well if the secure element is broken?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
Yes, you should be fine. Remotely wiping will only reset the information on the device it was signed into based on that devices ID. Since you restored the backup, it was as if it was never uninstalled and triggered the uninstall.

Setting it back up will be fine as all the information is store on the cloud. As long as you are not seeing a secure element error, you should be fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sekigah84:
I am not sure if that is an indicator as to whether or not it is broken. The only way really is to try it to purchase an item. As the above poster said, those vending machines with NFC enabled (can be found in malls) is a good way to check.

Hey everyone. I am new to the S3 and have a question about google wallet.

Has anyone here tried the temp unroot method with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper when they want to use Google Wallet? I've done that and had no issues with the Unsupported Device message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hobadee:
I have been messing around with Google Wallet and found out some useful info I figured I would share.

It *IS* still possible to "brick" your secure element, HOWEVER, it is only a soft-brick and can be fixed.

The easiest way to brick your secure element is to flash a new ROM without resetting Wallet. For example, last night I did a Nandroid backup, flashed a new ROM without resetting Wallet, then restored the Nandroid backup I had made. The secure element was bricked. (I never even opened Wallet on the ROM I flashed.)

In this screenshot, you will notice that in the Google Wallet "About" screen, the "Google Secure Element Version" is "Not Present". If Google wallet reports this, your device will NOT be able to make wallet payments using NFC. (I should know - I looked dumb quite a bit before I figured this out. :o )

"Bricked"

If your "Google Secure Element Version" is something other than "Not Present" (As shown in the following screenshot) then you WILL be able to make wallet payments using NFC. (I guess the current version is 1.6.)

"Non-Bricked"

While I haven't been able to narrow down a specific set of steps to unbrick the element, I have done it a couple times by fiddling with it enough. Here is what I do:

Reset Google Wallet

Restart Phone

Open Google Wallet

Select your account & enter credentials

Wait for it to think (Mine usually freezes here and will restart the UI. I'm guessing this has to do with the bricked element, but I cannot confirm this.)

If your phone has restarted the UI, open Google Wallet again. If it asks you which account to use, repeat steps 4 & 5 again until it works. It took me about an hour last night before it finally worked.

Note than when it finally does work for me, it still crashes, with the exception that the next time I open Wallet, it asks me to setup a PIN.

Enter your new PIN.

Go to your cards and click "Setup Card" on a card you already have. "Google Secure Element Version" will still show "Not Present" until you do this!

...I have no idea why Wallet crashes so much for me. You may not have this issue. As always, YMMV. I would still recommend resetting Wallet before flashing, but if it does "Brick", hopefully this will help get you back on track.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Just verified. The above method does work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ParrSt:
New phone never used google wallet

I have looked through here and am still a little confused. I just got my gs3 and have NOT set up Google wallet. I am about to root and try some ROMs. I can wait until I find the ROM I am going to use before I set up Google wallet. Will I have to do anything special to make it work? and if not, which is what I think I understand, will I still get the error message that is mentioned here that can be ignored. I would prefer not to have the message even though I know it doesn't effect the wallet working.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] maltydog:
I have the same question. It's a little unclear. I expect to upgrade my phone next month when my contract expires. If I activate the Wallet before rooting and installing the rom, then reset the wallet, does that mean I will not get the error message? If so I will do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Thats exactly what I did back in July when I got the phone, I just reset Wallet before flashing any new rom's, knock on wood...I have never had the secure element issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ParrSt:
No I know from reading this thread, that if you HAVE activated your wallet, you can reset it and use it on a new ROM, but you WILL have the error message but it should still work.

My question was will I still get the error if I have NOT activated my wallet, then put a new ROM and then activate for the first time under the new ROM.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
If the phone is rooted you will always get the message regardless of rom.
