I know I read about the US S3's getting the kit kat update. If/when they do it seems at least ATT FINALLY allowed Google wallet to work straight out of the box on the Official 4.4.2 firmware for the ATT S4. I downloaded it straight from the play store and it sets up tap and pay and everything. So there is hope

Hmmm...are u rooted? Cause I've seen where the carriers are still blocking the NFC emulator. Pretty sure it was for the ATT S4 KitKat update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RockRatt:
Yes, I am rooted. But I have seen other users in the ATT i337 forum that are not rooted say it works from the playstore. I could be wrong and those users were rooted but this was after they took the ota. So right now 4.4.2 cannot be rooted yet on the i337. So I think I am correct.

I just wiped user data and flashed a new ROM to my phone for the first time since getting Google Wallet working, and THEN remembered I needed to reset GW before doing so! I made a backup before I did this with a working GW and Secure Element, and just flashed that back before rebooting the phone.

I still have time to swap out the phone in store, but how do I check if the SE is bricked? GW opens just fine, shows my remaining balance on the prepaid card, and the NFC works just fine, tested on a TecTile I bought and previously wrote data to, it reads the TecTile and connects to my Wifi as it should.... everything good to go? Reset GW this time and wipe, flash, restore data?

I know it says in the OP to make a backup in case you do this very thing, but I can't see how the SE gets bricked and then unbricked by restoring the backup
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
resetting google wallet before flashing a rom is just a precautionary measure. I have never seen a "bricking" of the secure element.:rolleyes:

anyways, if you follow the steps...step 10 will always have a working google wallet you can fall back on
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
Just tried resetting GW, and it got stuck at 99% while removing account information.... it sat there for a LONG time, probably 10 mins or more! had to go into Manage Apps and Force Stop it! as a test, I tried, without rebooting or flashing the new ROM, to set it back up using my account, and it sat on Activating Account for the same amount of time - once I FS'd it using Manage Apps again and started it back up, it was at the very beginning, as if it wasn't going to let me finish activating the account.... still not bricked? just let it sit there for as long as necessary to activate once I flash the new ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubbert:
Mine did the same thing so I just rebooted the phone and fond it had actually reset. Changed the build.prop values to htc_jewel and it activated account and added card just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
You're saying you had to do steps 1-10 again when you were reflashing a ROM or was this the first time you set it up? Mine was already setup and working just fine before I went to flash a new ROM and forgot to reset GW, so if you're talking about doing this the first time, I've already done the build.prop edits and everything necessary to get it up and running....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubbert:
I had done everything for the first time and it was activated and card added but then was trying an updated fix from ogdobber to get it working on Verizon/Telus and apparently GW is also supposed to be reset when removing the app to avoid bricking the secure element. So I had to do it the second time as well.

I think the activating account part is what checks the build.prop file so anytime the account needs to be activated you need to change those build.prop values.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wera750:
I so hope this gets working on vzw.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
Yep, you're right! You have to do steps 1-10 every time you flash a ROM.... I wonder if there's any way to automate the build.prop edit and GW reset in a zip? that way you flash one file before you wipe to reset GW and edit build.prop, flash the ROM, and then flash another zip afterwards to edit build.prop back....

Anyone think that's possible or is that too crazy?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sum14u2nvy:
Did this, wallet started up, asked for NFC to be turned on, went there, and NFC was gone -_-
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
Sounds like your are on some rom other than a stock based one. Anything asop or cm9 related doesn't work with the method described in the OP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seaskimmer:
I find that my GW saved info is being reset whenever I go into CWM and wipe cache/delvik cache? After wiping the caches, I opened GW and had to start the entire activation process over (my card info is still saved though).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
To be expected
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
I have wiped cache partition and dalvik cache numerous times when flashing different kernels and I have not once had to reactivate google wallet. That's my 2 cents.

Working perfectly on rooted stock AT&T Galaxy S3!! Easy setup. Thanks!! (yes,:good: I hit the button)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
Does anybody know if Android loads build.prop into memory at boot or if apps reference it as needed ? Reason I'm asking is then you'd just have to change it before you launch Google Wallet and then change it back after you quit. Would break less things.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] soundslikemitch:
Worked like a charm. Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
The only thing a build.prop change could potentially "break" is market downloads during and after the switch back to the original.

The fix if you have a market problem is just to clear data in settings/applications
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sheffy007:
I got it installed and set up on Verizon but is the problem that it won't pay at a register?

Yes. It says so in the OP ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
Go to the op and read again (starting at the top) , but specifically right above step 1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] antispiral:
It fails where it matters :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
I got this working so thanks to OP. Tested at local store too.

Now my question is are we at risk of having a new release of Google Wallet in the Play Store overwrite our version and break things ? Should we turn off auto update to be safe ? I know you could uninstall the update but not sure if just updating it would corrupt things ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
I'm not sure myself, but I think you have a valid point. I just disabled auto updates in google play to be on the safe side.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FreydNot:
It would be a good idea to disable auto update, but Paul is usually good about updating his patched wallet APK over at Modoco Forums.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
the only reason you would want to keep the modaco version is if you live outside of the US. (regional checking is disabled) but if you live in the US, once the google wallet is "linked" to your phone, you are good to go.

here is an example, back before gw was available for the galaxy nexus (only on nexus s) there was a trick to getting it working. I did that, then I wiped my phone and installed some rom. when "google" was restoring my apps, wallet was automatically downloaded and installed (mind you this is before the sprint gnex version and long before takju)

Another note. I included madacos wallet just for the guys up in canada (or south america) that might have 2 core phones. I first got the "market" wallet working and making purchases with the build prop edit...the key was the libs

So if you live in the US update away;)

*edit oh yeah, modacos wallet disables that unsupported device notification at the top (mind you it is only a banner and does nothing)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ThC23:
Wouldn't this be better in the apps/theme section and be stickied also??

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WarlockLord:
For those interested, I just made my first successful Google Wallet purchase on my VERIZON S3. I did this my taking Nfc.apk, NfcTest.apk, and nfc.MSM8960.so from the Sprint fre3 rom and putting them onto my S3, repairing permissions, and rebooting. I immediately drove to CVS and made a purchase for $9.88, leaving me with 12 cents on the card. I don't know if all 3 of those files are required, but I did use all 3.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

I just made it available :-)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] antispiral:
Did you have to go through the activation process again? Also, since we used this method to get $10, will we lose it when we install the sprint version? Also do we have to erase data or do anything special before installing?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WarlockLord:
I did NOT have to activate the app again, but i DID have to accept T&C and add the card again. The $10 was still there from doing the first steps as outlined in the OP. I did NOT have to change build.prop to the modified values again. I also did not wipe data, cache, or dalvik cache.

maybe a typo on the build.prop edit? It has been confirmed working on stock

*edit you must either use root explorer to edit or pull/push it and edit on computer

ES explorer was hammermans problem (it does not save correctly), and not Diet rom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
like I said, for aokp you need cm9 nfc libs. when you try to use samsung libs, it breaks your nfc on your cm9 based rom (not build.prop related)

nandroid back back to your orig aokp and then just push the wallet app to system/app, most likely it already has the correct libs...if not it will hang on activating, if it does that, grab the libs from a cm9 rom and you will be good
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FreydNot:
I would be surprised if the CM9 NFC libs support the USA versions of the Galaxy S3. Is the necessary NFC source code available to compile against?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idan73:
Was about to make these instructions, as I promised last night in the other thread as I made it work on my Canadian Rogers version few days ago. Simply did not have time.

Difference being I used latest nfc apk from i9300 version and just copied it over with root explorer. That takes care of getting stuck at first screen. The modded wallet apk although does not check the country still will not add the card without using market enabler, switched to tmobile or sprint from Canada and elsewhere in the world.

If it still errors out on adding card, the htc_jewel build.prop edit is needed as well cause there are reports that wallet is down or blacklisted for sgs3 except for sprint version.

Good job ogdobber!
