I recognize that the situation is pretty fluid and may change with new GW and ROM updates, but can someone clarify the current process going forward for me?

1) Nandroid restore: if in the future I want to restore the nandroid I just created for some reason, do I have to first go to my GW settings and reset the data, then restore the nandroid, and then go through steps 14 - 16? in the current OP ?

2) Install new ROM: if in the future I want to install a new ROM, will I have to go to GW settings first to reset the data,

then

install the ROM, and then follow the procedures of 1 - 16 ? If I backup my programs and data using Titanium, would I be able to restore my GW in the new ROM?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AMRivlin:
Thanks for your reply. I have read the OP, and understood there is a secure element missing and the OP was able to add that part via root. I am just debating if it is worth rooting to get this app. I thought I had read that ATT was now authorized to use the app, but guess that was for Gnex or I was just misinformed.

I find it absurd that Google limits it to carrier, they should just open it up to anyone.

I have rooted my NexusS in the past, just not sure I want to root my S3. :/

Thanks again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
yes, red the OP. then read it again

there is no steps 1-16

it is 1-10 (read 10 again) or

and 11-16 (for those who already did this mod previously)

if you install a new rom you do steps 1-10 (read step 10 over before starting)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Metups:
Oh, right, of course. I wouldn't have to do 1 - 16, just 1 - 10. Thanks. So, if installing a new ROM, Titanium Backup would not restore GW properly, then?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
I wouldn't mess with google wallet using titanium. For that matter, if anyone has used titanium succesfully, I don't want to here it.

google wallet has a reset in settings, and everything is cloud synced once online.

The things keeping it from working out of the box is the carriers...

follow op instructions and you won't have problems...

And please, if you don't understand something, ask before proceeding

Has anyone been able to add a Citi Mastercard? Every other one adds fine but the Citi card and looks like people in the Evo 4GLTE forums are having issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
Yeah mine would just sit there and keep going forever...couldn't get it to add. Even called Citi and they reset on their site but can't get it to add. Not a big deal since we have all these other cards to use and the Citi integration sucks badly. It can tell you the balance but it can't confirm the transaction or the amount since it goes directly through Citi and not Google. For this reason alone, using credit cards via Google's virtual mastercard are better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
Yeah, I hardly use the card since the rewards are meh so I could probably just remove it online from google wallet and be done with it. It'll be interesting to see if rewards tied to specific categories still carry over. The Google support page shows the below so we'll see.

Odd thing is that I see $1 authorizations online under pending charges everytime I try.

Spent an hour on the phone with tech support yesterday and they have no idea what's going on.

I just read a couple pages back about somebody wanting to restore GW through titanium backup. DO NOT DO THIS! I REPEAT: DO NOT RESTORE GOOGLE WALLET WITH TITANIUM BACKUP! This is a sure fire way to permanently destroy your phones secure element. Coming from the gnex, I've seem this happen many times. This is something that can not be repared with a nandroid or a complete wipe. My buddy had to get a new phone because of this.

Ogdobber, this might be worth mentioning in red in the OP. I can't stress it enough.

I dunno, it seemed to take awhile for me without modifying the build.prop and I just gave up. It went through rather quickly when I changed the build.prop to htc_jewel. I'm not saying one way or another but I think their may be something to it.

Either way, my cards have been added. I still have not used GW yet though. Planning on testing it on the way home.:cyclops:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JojoSFO:
It works!

Confirmed: It works! remaming the orginal apk with.bak and then copying the new .apk version onto /sysem/app, then rebooting. It picks up my visa/amex credit cards already registered with my google account - and can now be used as payment options. Will still have to try actually purchasing something though.

Thanks! :good:

Sorry, I was just following these instructions here:

This is if you've already had GW working prior to the update of 8/1. To update to the new version (that allows other visa/amex cards to be used). If you're starting from scratch, follow all the instructions in the OP.

So I just did the mods to get wallet working on my VZ SGS3 today, but I do not have the ability to add any cards, just the prepaid card and Citi cards. Are we waiting for a new APK that will allow this without breaking the hack on our VZ SGS3, or am I missing something?

Tested at Rite Aid on a Verizon phone and everything worked like it should. The funniest thing was the cashier. (sounding depressed) Uh, I don't don't got one of those phones. All I got is an iPhone. </sad face>

Additionally, it added the credit cards I had setup with the Play Store. I didn't have to enter in anything more than my home address those cards were listed as available to add. They didn't seem to add right away, so I changed the build.prop to htc_jewel (as recommended by another posted in this thread) and rebooted to try again. It worked and reverted my build.prop to my S III. Not sure if it's entirely necessary to do this but it seemed to work for me too.

After work I hit Rite Aid and it worked great taking the money from my free $10 prepaid card, which is currently setup as my default. I'll try to switch the default to one of my other credit / debit cards tomorrow and try again.

It really was a futuristic experience. Freakin' awesome! :cool:

Verified install on Nexus S GSM (T-Mobile)

I can verify that this package is compatible with the Nexus S GSM (T-Mobile) Android version 4.1.1 Build JRO03E.

Procedure to upgrade from MoDaCo com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.apk (GWVersion 1.1-R63-v12):

Typical disclaimers (backup your apps, SMS, Nandroid backup etc.)

Download zip from OP and copy to SD card root

Reset GW (from main GW activity menu > settings > reset GW)

Disable GW from application manager

Append .bak to existing GW apk in system/app

Reboot to recovery (you may have to flash your recovery from fastboot as stock jellybean overwrites recovery partition on every reboot)

Install zip from SD card as usual

Reboot phone

Enable GW from application manager

Complete GW application setup by launching the app and following prompts

Good luck!

*** Edit ***

Afterthought: When I originally installed GW from MoDaCo as indicated above, I didn't touch build.prop. As such I didn't mess with it when upgrading. If you are upgrading from a different package or have messed with your build.prop then the above procedure may not be appropriate for you.

You have to edit the build.prop file so it reflects the original file. Your phone is being seen as a htc_jewel because you have not reverted back to your original build.prop file.

You guys really need to be doing research and understanding what it is you are doing before modifying your system files. If nothing else, make sure you are at least following directions posted in the OP.

I'm reading some of these post and clearly some of you aren't even reading the OP. Please people, do yourself a favor and read the OP before modifying your phones so you don't end up with a paperweight.

I had the same issue... I had to edit the build.prop and set it to htc_jewel, then I was able to add additional cards. I then reset the build.prop back.

Anyone have any idea why my card keeps failing to add?

I added my citibank card right when they first came out using a rooted sprint rom hybrid. I was able to add card no problem using directions. Then removed card and rooted using root66 since I am verizon. And I have not been able to re add card sense then. Been trying for over a week. Called Citi and had them remove card from wallet and they said they reset but that is wasn't attached to one. I am able to add to wallet on my nexus 7 just fine. But still get error when adding to s3.

I have read and followed directions to a t. I have cleared cache and dalvick cache. For the life of me I can't figure this out. I can read and follow directions just fine. I do have it working with the free 10 bucks as I bought some things at cvs with it. Just can't add my Citi card.

Any ideas please?

I don't know, I don't have a citi card. It seems to fail for everyone (even on the N7) weird it works for you there

possible if you switch to the sprint build.prop it will work since that is how it was enabled in the first place

Try changing the build.prop to htc_jewel, reboot, add the cards, change the build.prop back to S III, and then reboot again (restore bak). I thought I had a similar issue and it worked for me.

Some how I got my citi card added (Stock rooted Galaxy S3, verizon), I think so anyway. Did a fresh install of google wallet today (first time), got the prepaid card, and changed my build.prop back to normal. Bought a deck of cards and a soda at CVS, no problems. Came home, attempted to add my citi mastercard and was just loading for 45 minutes. Reboot, same problem. I edited the build.prop back to HTC jewel, rebooted, tried again and still nothing. Rebooted, and now its showing up. I haven't had a chance to use it so not sure yet, but I'll try it out tomorrow and see if everything works.

Bs I copied my old built.prop back and it works fine. Just make sure to set permissions correctly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Idan73:
That is why you should not copy build.prop, but rather long press and open in text editor directly. After making edits and accepting save, root explorer will auto save original as a backup right beside it (build.prop.bak). Then when you want original back, just delete edited and rename original, by removing .Bak from name.

Again, this applies only to root explorer.
