Actually there are 2 error messages here. If you are rooted you will have "unsupported device" but Wallet will still work just fine, the other is a Google

Secure Element Version not present issue. If this is the case, Wallet will not work but thanks to the above post from hobadee it is fixable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ParrSt:
Right, I got that from reading the tread. What I was wondering is, if there is any advantage to NOT activating the wallet feature until I find the ROM I am going to keep on my phone. Being a brand new phone and not needing the NFC, I have the opportunity to wait, but it looks like it makes no difference.

Bob

Thanks again to all on this site for the help! I couldn't do half the stuff I do without this site.

I had wallet working on my T-Mobile gs3 running cm10 then I accidentally updated a nightly without making a backup. I also have wallet running on my n7. I have never reinstalled on my gs3 but recently reinstalled on my n7 after rooting and factory resetting. When I reinstalled on my n7 I had the secure element not present message until I setup a card again now it says v1.6. Does my install on my n7 have any bearing on what I will expect to see if I reinstall on my gs3? I would like to get it running again on my phone. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ParrSt:
I seem to have bricked my wallet. I had done a nandroid backup on Blazer with the google wallet activated before I tried to flash the next ROM. I did not reset the google wallet. the next ROM failed. I tried to go back to my backup, and the backup would not load. Not sure what happend, but several of my backups were no good. Anyway I have Blazer back up and running but cannot get wallet working. I am able to sign on with my google account and password and it shows the one card I have but has a button below it saying setup required. I click on it and it comes back saying everything is good, but the card has a status of "add card failed" I also get the Secure element not present under about.

Please help I tried following the instructions on page 10 but my problem seems different. I have no problem logging on, but cannot setup card.

Same for me can log on put cant add card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] buckeye_jeff:
I had the same problem after flashing several different ROM's in a row to test them out. I ended up using Titanium Backup to delete both the Wallet app + data. Then rebooted the phone and re-installed the latest version of Wallet from the market. Setup Wallet on my phone and so far everything seems to be working just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ParrSt:
I was able to replace my phone and still have the same problem. I am on the phone with google now and if I understood, he told me they have an issue that they are working on. no time line though.

My issue seems to be different from most. I can logon and set up wallet with my google account and even see the one card I have, but it says that it needs to be "set up" but when I do, it comes back saying "add card failed"

AND, as I am typing this and working with Google, I got it fixed. Now on to flashing some ROM the right way!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cgee23:
How did you fix i have the same issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ParrSt:
Called Google. At least in my case I knew it was not the phone since I replaced mine. They did have me disable the wallet and go online and deactivate the device, then while working on something else, it finally worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rodd62:
I will say that the trick of clearing data on GW finally allowed me to add my debit card. This was frustrating me immensely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FreydNot:
I understand it is necessary to reset Wallet before flashing a new ROM, but what about just flashing a new Kernel? I've been resetting Wallet before flashing a new Kernel (better safe than sorry) but I'd rather skip that step if I can. Does anyone have a confirmed report of it working or failing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FreydNot:
Google wallet always works for me after applying the proper mods (t-mobile gs3). I haven't tried it without resetting wallet first.

Hmmmm..... :rolleyes::silly:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pastorterrylee:
Great info

With the "unsupported device" looming over my rooted SGS3 I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. Seemed like a waste to have it and not use it. Thanks a bunch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
As long as the phone is rooted it will always say "unsupported device" but it works just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
Awesome post considering I am about to root and I use Google Wallet very often. Thanks OP!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cj10488:
FYI anyone that was having wallet issues should try again now. I have been having issues since Nov and Google was finally able to resolve them and it should resolve them for others. "Fail To Add Card" was the previous version error msg. I think the new version says failed and to check internet connection and try again.

Anyways after several emails back and forth with the Google development team and loads of logcat files they finally resolved the issue.. They pushed the fix to the backend lastnight and mine is finally working after several months of it not.

Hope this helps..

While resetting it seems to have stalled on the "resetting Google wallet app" progress at 0%. Any suggestions? It made it through the first stage without issue.

Reset from the website. Read my post I made a few pages back...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zappa_Zapper:
I recently rooted my bosses SGSIII and later found out he had been using wallet and lost function after rooting. I tried the method mentioned in this thread to restore the secure element but was never able to get it to work. it kept saying secure element not found. He eventually got a new phone and we left wallet alone before root and everything is fine now. After he had been using the new phone for a while I was playing around with the old SGSIII and happened to notice the secure element was present I have no idea when that happened or why. I also have not tested wallet on the old phone since the discovery but am thinking about investigating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] da2zoe:
My ability to buy things from the Play Store and various in-app purchases recently stopped working. I remember seeing information about having GW issues if you don't follow certain steps before rooting or flashing. Well I didn't see that information until it was too late. But then I didn't think about it since I never had any issues purchasing things until about a month ago. I wonder if the problem started when I decided to install Google Wallet in my Nexus 7. I had never specifically opened, downloaded, or setup Google Wallet on any device or even the computer before then. Now neither device will let me make purchases. I want to update my rom (for both my S3 and N7) and am hoping to get some suggestions to hopefully fix this.

I've looked around and also read this whole thread. I've completely deleted GW from my N7 and deactivated my tablet through the website from my PC. However, I can't even install Google Wallet on my S3 from the Play Store. I get the message that my "Device is not compatible with this version." Ugh! So now I've hit a road block.

Any help would be truly appreciated!

good post

I use google wallet all the time, but concerned about the unsupported device message. this is good to know info thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissionImprobable:
Is there some magical reason that I'm missing for Verizon's Nexus being $649, Sprint's being $549, and the GSM version being $349 directly from Google? Just a bit lost, though I've come to see that pretty much all devices are ridiculously overpriced new-in-box anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
They all set their own prices, and each chose to make theirs different. Google's price represents what the real price of the hardware is right now. The others are highly inflated, much like non-subsidized carrier branded phones always are. Nothing special with the Nexus on that point other than the fact that we're seeing Google heavily hack down its profit margin to sell the GSM model cheap, which shows how much extra Sprint and Verizon are charging off-contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
And the fact Google selling directly implies they aren't really trying to make a profit off hardware, as evidenced by other devices selling soon, and trying to get the hardware in your hands so Google, partners, consumers and devs all get a share of the pie.

butter and jelly please...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MissionImprobable:
Figured as much. Just interesting that all these carriers say that they need people to lock into contracts to make up for subsidies but the phones are ridiculously expensive without.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Its to incentivize you to sign a contract because they're illogically expensive off contract. It creates a sense of value when they offer you a phone for $199 or $299 and list the off-contract price of $649.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simba501:
This. If the contract price was $199 or $299 and the off-contract price was $350 or anything near it, few people would opt for the contract. I wouldn't even say it's to encourage people to sign a contract; they want to flat out force you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
the only difference is lte radio and the cdma variants have 32gb still i dont see why its $400+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DustyFarts:
I wish manuftr,s would start selling there own hardware like google..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
google sells samsung's hardware...

samsung makes the phone for google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
As noted, they artificially inflate the price.

Its more profitable to sell directly to carriers.
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Hey guys,

I might be wrong here but this is my last hope.

Rooted my One X yesterday, tried to install a .zip so that annoying menu bar would go away.

Didn't word out well, got in a 'bootloop', decided to install the stock RUU, but im getting this ERROR 120 30% massage.. i already tried different stuff but nothing seems to work.

Then things got worse, decided to let it charge for a while, but now i can't even get in recovery mode, it redirects it to fastboot.

Thnx in advance
[HTC One X] Electronic Punk:
You will need to relock the bootloader to flash the stock ROM

From fastboot do "fastboot oem lock" then try again. Try flashing from Fastboot and if that doesn't work try bootloader.

Alternatively, flash custom recovery and try flashing over original versions of the whatever files you replaced with your modification.
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Already relocked the bootloader, installing RUU rom in bootloader, got same ERROR 120 massage.

Though i had a custom recovery, apparently i dont (im a noob), but i cant even get in the recovery mode.

Already reinstalled stock recovery...
[HTC One X] seightch:
Corrupt RUU?, try downloading it again...
[HTC One X] Tony Tan:
Are you sure you downloaded the correct RUU for the region of your device?
[HTC One X] waz675:
If you are certain your ruu is for your region and not corrupted then from http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...o-get-error-120-battery-less-than-30-a-2.html

Try this

Running Windows 7:

Make sure battery is over 30% (but that's why we're here, isn't it? It IS over 30%) Turn phone off Take battery out for a minute, then replace the battery DO NOT turn phone back on Plug into USB Hold VOL DOWN button and press the power button for 5 Seconds but don't let go of VOL button Make sure the choice FASTBOOT is highlighted and press the power button to select it You should see FASTBOOTUSB up top Stay on this screen while you go to your computer Exit HTC Sync if it's running, wait a minute, then open HTC Sync again, see if it connects (Mine didn't connect to sync, but I left the window open in the bkgrd) Open the updater and go through the steps. Update should begin without error message.

Hope this works for you guys. I tired countless ways to do it before breaking down and calling in. This way worked the first time for me.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
If you relocked you also need to flash boot.img in fastboot from the stock rom you want to use.

Extract the ruu.exe and take the boot.img out, flash it using the adb tools and fastboot.
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Where can i find my radio version? And cant find any boot.img in my RUU file.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
It's called 'boot_signed.img'

The radio I don't know.
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Can't find it, but i cannot go into recovery mode, wich makes me think there is something seriously wrong..
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Perhaps ur battery is less than 30%.

[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
To extract contents from an RUU, do this.

Run the desired RUU

Go to search and type in '%temp%' (without the quotes)

A folder named 'temp' will appear, open that, and search in it for 'rom.zip'

Open the zip, and extract what u jeed from there.

And hit thanks!

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
@TheNetherTukkers, extract the boot_signed.img as theDroidfanatic beautiful explains.

Attached I have the adbtools, extract and put the folder on your desktop's c:\ together with boot_signed.img

So you have c:\adbtools\

adb.exe

AdbWinApi.dll

fastboot.exe

boot_signed.img

Now put your device in fastboot mode and connect to your pc.

In start\search on your pc type 'cmd' without the quotes and hit enter.

In the command window that pops up browse to c:\adbtools and type the following:

fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img [hit enter]

fastboot erase cache [hit enter]

After this you go into fastboot again and flash the ruu.
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
got this,

[HTC One X] beanbean50:
are you sure?
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Are you sure your phone is relocked?

Which ruu are you trying to flash?
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Pretty sure, it says ***** RELOCKED ****** in bootloader..

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.29.401.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260491_signed, is the RUU im trying to flash.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Hmmm, that's strange.

You have a branded HTC One X?

And which rom are you trying to flash?

Try >> THIS link, it's the 1.29.401.11 version, credits to Football for the RUU.
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
I dont think its branded.. i mean i got it from Vodafone (holland) but i dont see a special RUU for that anywhere so i figured i had the genereal european version.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
You must be sure about that because there do exist Vodafone updates.

Have a look HERE at the bottum, Vodafone roms for several countries. No Dutch dho. :(

Did you buy the phone straight from Vodafone or did you use a retailer?

Maybe you could check with them?
[HTC One X] svdhorst:
I don't know how to solve your problem, but I do know that Vodafone usually sells branded phones in Holland.

Does your phone have a Vodafone logo anywhere on it?
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Its not branded at all, there were no vodafone apps on it and there is no logo..

Im getting really desperate..
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Can you copy the name of the ruu you are trying to flash please and tell me?

Maybe it's corrupted during download, please try the link in my previous post (# 18) and re download?

I do not understand.

Attached the boot.img from 1.29.401.11

Can you give it one more shot?

Btw the ruu name is different then the one in the link I posted earlier for you.

I strongly recommend you to redownload the rom using the link I have provided in post 18.

Hmm I'm having a different filename at my harddisk indeed.

Ok, try flashing the boot.img I have attached in previous post.

If that works I will upload the ruu for you.
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Doesnt work either.. what to do now?
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
It's a grazy taught but what about try unlocking and root it again using Paulobrien's method HERE?

This way you will have clockworkmod recovery on your device again and you can flash a unsigned boot.img

Otherwise I'm out of ideas. :(
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Well, im getting started on that dont know hot to thank you for all your affort! but do you have any idea why i cannot get into recovery mode in the first place?
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Yeah that's also a good question.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's because you tried to flash stock recovery as you mentioned earlier.

You don't have a RECOVERY option in bootloader at all?
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
I do it just redirects me to fastboot.. but first its in HTC bootup says something like.. ´´This mode is for development only etc etc´´ then goers to fastboot-
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Got it rooted again!
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
That looks like unsigned boot.img is still there and you don't have a backup on your storage.

A few steps you could try.

* Unlock (maybe here the problem started as you relocked it, it's worth a try)

* Try to flash the boot signed (1.29.401.11)

* Relock and flash the stock RUU

Or try Paulobrien's method to restore Clockworkmod and superSU

From there you flash a unsigned boot.img that belongs to a custom rom of your choise.

We are doing something terrible wrong I ques, but I don't think your device is bricked at all.

I must go now but I will check back later tonight, goodluck!
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Well, do you have any suggestions on an good custom rom? clean ics without sense would be nice, and i dont want ant less batterylife..
[HTC One X] TheNetherTukkers:
Got it working!! Thank you so much!
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Np, awsom to read you have it working. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newuser134:
Hi,

I've had a Thunderbolt, LG Revolution and a GNex, and all 3 phones, regardless of OS version, would allow to user to switch between 3G (cdma) and 4GLTE under settings. This would eliminate dual active radios when switched to 3G only, and would help save battery life, especially on the Verizon GNex, which was a battery hog.

Anyway, it seems that for some reason Verizon even took that option away from us this time (makes me wonder why they don't just give us a phone with 10-digits and the answer and hang-up buttons, and do away with any other user options), and I don't see how this would "make the user network experience" or whatever cr/\p any better, like the locked bootloader supposedly does. To fix this issue and give us the option back to choose between 3G or 4G, would root or a custom Touchwiz ROM be ok, or does it require an unlocked bootloader and a custom kernel? I am really pissed about all this, but that aside, what does it take to give us the option back between 3G and 4G?

On a separate note, would a custom non-AOSP ROM also give us the Samsung wifi toggle back in the notification bar, and get rid of the continuous, ongoing, annoying "wifi disabled" notification? Or will that require a custom kernel? Can't wait till all this cr/\p is gone from this phone, what a great phone it would be then.

Thanks everyone

App phone info from market

I love it. it's just like lte on/off for thunderbolt
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newuser134:
I don't know if you are a Verizon customer or not, but unless that app is different in some way, most of that type of apps access the menu *#*#3434#*#* that you could use to get to the hidden phone options menu. Verizon is extremely controlling and has all of these things locked down. That code menu does not work if you enter it directly in the dialer. Have you personally tried this app on a Verizon phone? I'll give it a try, but I've read that these only work on the versions from the other carriers.

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ricky babalu:
I thought the S4 is supposedly more efficient because the LTE modem is built into the SoC. Older devices had to actually switch radios (which drained the battery), these are integrated together. I am under the impression that the power management is very good based on the above on the SIII. I do not have my phone yet, so I will wait to determine if the power management is truly improved with the S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imp3r10:
i'd hope this gets fixed with root so i can save battery life.

4g is a huge killer of battery life
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funkymonk101:
I have personally tried it on my VZ Galaxy S3. Works perfectly, even though the code does not. Same menu as what you get with "LTE OnOff" for the Thunderbolt, although it requires one more button press.

As some of you know I recently switched from Verizon XT912 Maxx to Carrier-unlocked XT910 Maxx (Retail.en.EU).

I get perfectly fine cell signal for calls and text, but I have not seen a signal for data at all. My APN is set up as what Straight Talk says to use:

Name - Straight Talk

APN - att.mvno

Proxy - proxy.mvno.tracfone.com

Port - 80

MMSC - http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy - 66.209.11.33

Any recommendations to get data working?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
Nevermind I did not have the mvno in the settings :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brons2:
So data is working now? Is it 3G only or do you get HSPA+?

Unfortunately no HSPA+. I am very sure the towers here support it, the only issue being maybe my phone does not. I get HSDPA (H) not H+ sadly.
