So I've got my $10 and have the latest update installed since that's from today's update and I just installed it today. Everything worked out! But the problem now is, the latest update (today's) says all 4 of the major credit card companies are now supported, not just CB's MC. I only have the option for CB MB with this latest version in the OP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Monk33y:
Mine also hung at 99%... I then force closed. I followed the rest of the instructions. When I log back into Wallet, the account activates, I successfully add the prepaid card... but I am still on the old version. :(

I re-downloaded the updated zip in your OP and tried this 2 more times, each time successfully setting up the old version again. :eek:

I am flashing com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.magn2o.1.5-R75-v6.zip
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
Go to your system/app folder. You will see two wallets. Find the one that shows version 1.1 in the name and add .bak at the end. Then reboot.

It worked for me(taken from above)

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

I got it working by renaming the version 1.1 apk and adding .bak at the end.

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

Yep and version 1.1 supercedes version 1.5 causing you not to see the new features.

People have to remember to reboot after renaming/deleting version 1.1 apk
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgkahn:
Same here..but I reset wallet again. Then removed old version in system/app with root explorer. Then rebooted to recovery and reinstalled new wallet. Then was able to activate and readd the Google prepaid card and get my balance. Then added my visa i have on Google successfully.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
shhhht, I have the wrong version getting deleted in the updater script (so it is deleting nothing) updating now
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
Hahahaha this would explain why I've had such a hard time for the last 30 min.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
sorry about that. OP updated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
so everybody if you downloaded (com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.magn2o.1.5-R75-v6.zip) there is now on the OP (com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.magn2o.1.5-R75-v6-1.zip)

flashing the new one will now delete the old wallet apk and all will be good.

you could also just go to system/app and delete com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.1-r67-v12.apk and reboot and the new wallet will be there

sorry for the inconvenience
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
Hi ogdobber......do we still flash this part? The part in bold.

boot to recovery and first flash one of the following 3 and then com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.magn2o.1.5-R75-v6.zip

or just flash the first flash and move on to the next steps? Because in step 13 we have to flash this again....and I don't think you meant for it to be flashed twice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TRusselo:
***** good news for us canadians~!! for any cards that you add or have had added to your google account from online, they will show up in your wallet app but will ask you to input a US address. it does

not have to be your correct verified address

you have on the card. Input any real address and it will allow it to be added to your wallet app.

I have not tried this with the "Add a new card" from within the app, this was done on a card that was already on my account, (for play store). A card that was added by internet browser to wallet.google.com

Worked flawlessly, thank you all, looking to see if this will work later today

I was just wondering if anyone is able to use this internationally?

I know in the wallet apk thread that people in the UK are adding money through a different method to add top up. I want to take my US prepaid google wallet and possibly spend and use in Europe in capable places. Will this be possible? If so do they also a charge for the foreign exchange fee or is it exact conversion from the dollar that is in my prepaid GW card to the country currency that I will use GW in?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tekkidd:
Very excited about the update. Unfortunately I'm on vacation and cant get my S3 into recovery until I get access to my home computer with Odin 3 installed. I will flash as soon as I get home.

Just one question. Before the update we could revert our build.prop to the original one after we got Google Wallet to work. Does that still apply to the update or do we need to keep it at the new build.prop for it to work

Also, will the funds in our Google Prepaid card carry over or will they get wiped. And will we get the $10 promotional funds when we flash the update or no?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
Yes...you revert back to you're build.prop.

Yes...You're funds gets carried over.

Do a quick search for you're other questions....i'm sure you will find the answers. :)

I keep getting insufficient secure element privelges. I've followed all the steps to a tee and I've never done this on this device yet. Any ideas? I've tried doing it again from step 1 and clearing cache and dalvik.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] alexdagreat:
new update

says it doesnt work with the latest update that allows visa and discover cards
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xTristinx:
You borked your secure element. As known before the only way to fix it is to get a new phone but instead try to run this through adb.

"adb shell am broadcast -a android.intent.action.MASTER_CLEAR_NOTIFICATION"

You should get it to =0

After it should work hopefully
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
I don't know about discover...but my visa cards are working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:

Never mind I'm an idiot. I totally missed the part about flashing the old one first. Works great! Just got breakfast with it :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Metups:
Holy Toledo, Ohio! As unlikely as it may be, the updated fix worked perfectly for me the first time. Added my Visa and re-added the prepaid card without a hiccup. Thanks to all for the instruction and the hack. :highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] soicyboy:
I had wallet working and then when i woke up My google wallet updated on its on thru the play store so after that it said unsupported device so i couldnt reset it so i thought that i would just restore my.nandroid from when it was working before the update. So i didnt do a wipe n factory reset because i was afraid to brake my secure element. After restoring it just hangs on initializing your device. Even with the new update it is doing the same keep in mind i have yet to do a reset. What should i do because i cant get in the app to reset it and my backup is getting stuck on initializing your devicei
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clambert11:
It might not hurt to note that magn2o removed the carrier check from the apk. I could see how it might be slightly confusing when originally you had to pick a carrier dependent apk. There were 3 files for the first hack and only 1 for the second.

You don't have to (obviously) but it's a suggestion.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
Wrong, the first hack also had carrier check removed. I believe the only difference in the 3 files were the nfc libs.

Sent from my GS3 pretending to be a Nexus so Google Wallet works
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clambert11:
Whatever. My point is that there were 3 unique files the first time and only one the second time. If someone already did this once and had to use a Verizon apk, I would think they might want to know why they didn't have to use a Verizon one the second time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
Go into applications and GW - uninstall updates. At this point open Play store, and go to GW under your installed apps, and uncheck automatic updating.

Then I **believe** all you will need to do is just do steps 11-16 (maybe 2-10 but I would try 11-16 first)

For me after EVERY nandroid flash, I had to redo the steps to get it working again.

So far the update is going smooth, however, I'm trying to add the Google Wallet pre-paid card and its been 'verifying your account with Money Network' for the past 30mins. Should it be taking this long? I still need to add my Visa. Should I continue to wait or reboot and wipe cache/dalvic cache and try again?

Every minute or so I do see data activity but then the activity stops. Like its checking a queue or something.

Tmo S3 user here.

Do a wipe....restore you're nandroid backup.....follow all the steps again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
I found last night that it was faster verifying over mobile network vs wifi - not sure if that is affecting you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ergibson83:
Yep, I'm on mobile. Its taking forever though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
I would wipe the cache and dalvic....I done it before and it worked when I got stuck adding a card.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] airtower:
Follow the OP instructions verbatim (I used the GNex build.prop data). I was able to add my Chase debit card (info was already there from web-based google wallet, just had to add my address).

Much thanks to the devs involved!

I used the htc_jewel info again for the update. I should have used the galaxy nexus info so I could get another 10 dollar prepay card.. Lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] usatf1290:
Vzw galaxy s III. I had the old build up and running, with the free $10 added. Bought one thing with it seamlessly. I went to reset Google wallet to start at step 11. It hung at 99% for about half an hour, so I force closed GW. Ran the app and I'm back At the getting started screen.

I would like to reactivate my account, then reset it successfully to make sure my secure element is ok. The activating account now hangs, whereas it didn't before.

Should I wipe dalvik-cache, try activating then resetting? Or is this even necessary, and should I update to the new build now?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ergibson83:
It hung on me too at 99% when I went to reset. Thats normal. I just force closed mine after 5 minutes. It'll probably hang again when u go to reset it again. I wouldn't worry about it if everything is working now. :good:

wipe cache / dalvic cache and try to add your card again. I had to do that and it worked like a charm after that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HolyGrail:
99% happens to me also......you should be good......do the 1 - 10 steps again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radioraheem:
I had the first version from this thread working fine on my Tmo S3. Installed the update from the market yesterday which broke it. Tried initiating reset via the google.com/wallet interface and it appears to be stuck on "Device Reset Initiated" according to the web interface's device status page.

"This device is not currently connected to a network so the app has not yet been disabled. The next time the device is connected to a network the Wallet app will be disabled

Any Citi cards or Google prepaid cards are still active on the device and could be charged if your PIN is compromised. Contact Citi® Cards 24/7 at (877) 762-2989 to deactivate your Citi cards. Contact Money Network® 24/7 at (855) 896-0693 to deactivate your Google Prepaid card."

Downloaded the new update today from the thread, uninstalled updates from wallet which seemed to reset the app to a not-at-all set up state. Modified build.prop, rebooted to CWM, wiped cache and dalvik, flashed today's update, rebooted.

Now I'm sitting on "Adding your account..." set up step in the updated wallet app. Hoping it will activate given some more time.

Can anyone tell me if I did something wrong with these steps? There are so many different paths I read about in the last 10 pages of this thread, so I did my best after reading all of them. Did I miss something?

Not podssible to add cards

Hi i'm on tmobile and I tot everything working. The prepaid card added easy and I have my balance back.

Just when I want to add a credit card it is stuck forever on adding card and in the end it fails.

Any ideas?

I wiped already dalvic and cache, resetted the wallet...

Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] airtower:
I switched to GNex from jewel build.prop, and it carried my prepaid balance. I did reset Wallet before I updated though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ElBeaner:
Try adding cards via online

http://www.google.com/wallet/#utm_source=RE&utm_medium=re-wal

Then save and exit, then open wallet and see if they are there. It worked for me that way. Takes a little bit (min or so) and it will show up
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
go to applications and uninstall updates to wallet. then do steps 11-16

give it time
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] peterkef:
I did that and I see the cards in my wallet but they are not added? That is the whole problem :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ergibson83:
Redo steps 1-10 again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radioraheem:
I did that before I flashed today's update. When I uninstalled updates it reset the Wallet app so that my account was not set up in it at all, therefore I do not have the option for Step 13. open wallet, go to settings and "reset google wallet".

I tried initiating the reset via the web interface but like I said in my original post the web interface only shows "Reset initiated

This device is not currently connected to a network so the app has not yet been disabled. The next time the device is connected to a network the Wallet app will be disabled."

At this point I have the new update flashed, but it is still stuck on "Adding your account..." on the setup screen. What's really annoying is if my device turns off its display the "Adding your account" thing disappears and I have to click on Continue again to restart it.

Not sure where to go from here.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

Thought that might be the case. I'll try that next.

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

I am confused about one thing:

Step 3 says "3-boot to recovery and first flash one of the following 3 and then com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.magn2o.1.5-R75-v6.zip"

If I do that, won't I just be right back at where I was? On the new version with no activation?

Proceeding anyway now. Guess I'll see what happens and report back.

Not if you follow the directions. Ie

I'm helping a friend and we had already gotten this to work with the first mod on Verizon. I've read every single post in this thread but it has gotten crazy. If I'm reading the new instructions correctly, existing modders will change build.prop again and then once everything is running restore the original build.prop. Is this correct? I want to ensure she has everything working correctly and not losing any other app functionality. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
No, restore nandroid . Then 11-16
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ergibson83:
Well you'd be uninstalling your current GW and doing everything again. Or yeah, if you have a nandroid like OG said....just restore to that and then do 11-16 again. Let me know the results.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eatonjb:
ugg.. the OP changed.. ok . doing that now.. this is such a pain.. wonder if its worth it..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thardie:
I've been arguing with the "failed to add" issues, and finally figured it out. The build.prop requirements are not just for getting the app to run. They must be set to Nexus or jewel when you activate a card. Only once the cards are activated can you switch the build.prop back...

Hope this helps for anyone else with the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lgkahn:
No this is not true. I just added my American express card and my build.prop is back yo at&t. It is true to add or activate your first card which I did while it was jewel. This has always been the case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thardie:
Ah, OK, it was my first card I was activating, so good to know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clambert11:
That's great to know. I would have had a problem. This dramatically shortens the amount of time if would have taken me to figure it out. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radioraheem:
Ok, now I'm really confused lol :)

I was redoing steps 1 - 10, but instead of flashing the first wallet download and then the new one as instructed in step 3, I flashed only the first one and rebooted, figuring I would get that connected, then do the reset, then install the new update.

When I rebooted after flashing the first wallet download in the thread... The new version is what is installed now. Not sure how that happened considering I didn't flash today's update yet.

It showed my existing card already in Wallet from the web interface, and it let me add my other cards no problem.

Reverted to the correct build.prop, rebooted, still working fine. I have yet to make a purchase with it so I'll report back after I'm sure it's working 100%.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
you obviously made your own order of steps:confused:

glad you got it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ergibson83:
Nice, as long as it works right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radioraheem:
Exactly. I didn't restore a nandroid, just tried reinstalling the first version here to see if I could get it to deactivate properly.

And yes, I made my own steps, but only because I wanted to see if I could deactivate the wallet app in the correct was as listed in the OP.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] soicyboy:
For those of you that are having problems with google wallet intializing account you can change your build prop to htc jewel or the other one in the op. Then open google wallet and let it add your card and then go back and delete build.prop and rename the build.prop.bak This is what worked for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] usatf1290:
Wow, 900+ posts!

I got mine working. After I force closed GW while resetting, I changed my build.prop to the htc_jewel values (the same ones I used the first time around), booted into recovery, cleared dalvik cache, flashed new build, and everything is great!!

I have my Visa card added, as well as the prepaid Google card from the old version.

I followed the directions in the OP exactly, except for the reset FC at 99%.

EDIT: I did not have to rename the old .apk as some users mentioned. Also, my Visa card was pulled from my existing Google account, when I touched add card in GW, so I did not manually add the card.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ergibson83:
Yeah it might be a good idea for the OP to mention the FC as a option if it hangs at 99% during the reset. I'm glad you got it working.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AMRivlin:
Can someone give me an explanation of why Google Wallet will not run in this configuration:

Stock T999V

Installed Google Wallet by putting in a ATT Sim

Run current Google Wallet APK: "Unfortunately, Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network"

I have a valid install and I have an ATT sim, why is the app not happy?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DeltaSeeker:
I restored a nandroid backup from before I had installed the first modded apk. So to install the new modded apk, I would treat this as a brand new installation, correct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nygmam:
Because Wallet is not supported on ATT or for the T999V. You need to follow the instructions in the first post to get it to work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ergibson83:
Did you read through this thread? Atleast read through the OP
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radioraheem:
The app checks your carrier, and right now only Sprint is authorized for "official" wallet app use, and even then only on a few devices.

You have to follow the original instructions at the start of this post to get it to work. Your SIM card doesn't make any difference.
