1. In CWM or your recovery of choice go to backup and make a new backup. That way if you mess up anything in the editing process you can restore to you current ROM the way it was setup before you started.

2. It is in the root directory of your phone in the system folder.

10. This is for when you want to have a ROM that you made the changes to already to get Google Wallet working. Just in case you get flash happy and flash a bunch of ROMs and do not make the Wallet change every time on them.

Just and FYI... got it working no problems on VZW with the Synergy 1.3 ROM. I even went and bought lunch with my $10 credit.

Guys need your help, I'm with Bell (Canada) and I don't understand there is patch for Verizon and Telus GS3. In theory, Telus is that same as Bell and At&t. Here I tried AT&T patch and it didn't worked when I try to stick it on the pay pass sensor.

Should I try patching the telus one instead? I don't know if someone from Canada tried it. let me know. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Metups:
Thanks! I appreciate the response, and clarifies how to proceed. B4 reading your reply I did do some looking around and found the definition for nandroid. Never paid much attention or used it before as I use Titanium for backups - but I recognize the utility of being able to restore something right from CWM, so I will dutifully make a nandroid, especially after reading some of the problems people are having. I also did some nosing around with root explorer and found that build.prop hiding in system (aha!).

OK, I'm going to re-read the thread now, to let some of the discussion sink in. I'm using a rooted stock,so I shouldn't have too much trouble with this.:fingers-crossed:

Umm u better read some more if ur asking how u flash a zip file.

U flasb thru CWM recovery but thats not all u have to do so if i were u i would be careful if ur not comfortable flashing.

How did u root btw?

Tried my GW today and it worked as expected. Still love the expressions on cashiers faces when i pay. Priceless.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sharmy3:
Success! I followed the instructions on the OP for my T-Mobile SGS3. During the GW registration process, it popped up saying that I need to turn on the NFC. I went there and enabled it and went back to the registration. It went through just fine. Maybe add "Make sure NFC is enabled" to your OP. :)

Thanks!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubbert:
The hardware for Rogers, Bell, and Telus are the same as AT&T but my my Telus S3 was missing the same files that the Verizon S3 was missing.

Try the Verizon/Telus fix, it can't hurt. If you follow the steps in the OP you'll have a backup in case it does mess something up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] boynamedstacy:
Wow.... Not to sound rude but I'm surprised you made it this far lol. I highly suggest reading up on the advantage of ALWAYS having a nandroid on hand, especially with this phone. FYI a titanium backup is NO WHERE near a nandroid and only backs up you apps/data. If you soft brick your phone a TiBu will do nothing for you and you'd be forces to use Odin. Please, for your sake, read a little more before you get too crazy ;)

As I said in my previous message that I got GW working, I am using the stock ROM. My question is, if I want to change ROM's to CM10, what is the proper procedure to do it without breaking the GW / NFC / Embedded chip stuff?

Thanks,

Suceeded with Roger I747M and telus version of the zip.

By the way, what is zip writing to my phone? any significant changes I should concerned about?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
not sure why you got that. btw, you can toggle signature verification (disabled)

yes. you can do it all with adb commands (advanced...not really though:rolleyes:)

search in your phone forum (verizon, att, tmobile, etc) clockwork recovery will be a tar file you install with odin

by having a clockworkmod (or any non-stock recovery) ota updates will fail.

1- a nandroid is a backup of you rom made in recovery (backup and restore)

2-you need root explorer to see the "root" files. the build.prop is located in /system

10-yes. that is a second nandroid. you can delete the first after success

the verizon-telus zip also has the nfc.apk and a couple other things...so if the att one doesn't work on bell, definitely try that one. nothing to fear

for those that are curious about what is in the zip....open it up and have a look. basically the libs and apks to get it working

That is not necessarily true. I had no problem getting an OTA update on the Droid X even though I was rooted and had CWM installed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sharmy3:
Ok, got it. Then I go back to the OP and follow thru for any other ROM (as long it is touchwiz) I flash to the phone.. right?

Thanks again for all you do!

---Sharmy
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
flash the cm9 zip and see if it works...thought i read someone did that and had success

thats what i said...you will still get the update, but installation most likely will fail because the recovery is not stock.

yes, reset google wallet, flash rom, then go to op and start over

Bricked and didn't work

I got into CWM recovery and applied the verizon zip. It had the signature verification disabled, so that went ok. However, the phone never booted back up. I had to re-flash rooted.system.img.tar via Odin, but the Google Wallet app did not show up.

Worked on 2nd try!

On 2nd try, I got it to work great. Also worth noting that the app shows up under "Wallet" and not "Google" like I thought. Also, it might help to link the developer's direct posting on this

I am using this mod and Wallet is working just fine. I try S- Voice and it can no longer understand me. I reverted to my after mod pre activation of card/app and s- voice worked fine. Changed build prop back to premod from htc_jewel and rebootrd, no s- voice. It runs but doesn't understand a word now. Am I alone with this issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
you are the first to bring that up. but I am a little confused on your "testing"...

when you say "Changed build prop back to premod from htc_jewel" does that mean you have been running the modded build.prop? this is only to activate the card, it is to be switched back after everything is up and running. (please reread instructions)

a coupkle known things are going to "break" if the build.prop isn't reverted...exchange, bluetooth "name" and now maybe s voice.

the fix if you have gone too long with the (htc_jewel build.prop) is, bluetooth, is to clear app data

exchange will work once it is changed back...

s-voice might need the data cleared as well...

So far 100% of the people with problems didn't follow the instructions
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Metups:
OK. I appreciate the concern. I went ahead and did a before and after backup (nandroid). Thanks.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

Phone got stuck at setting up the prepaid card. Cleared cache and Dalvik, and rebooted but got the same result. I'm pretty sure I followed the procedure correctly, so I rebooted and tried again a couple more times. Third try, the prepaid card showed $10. Yay!

NFC works fine and phone reboots without issue. I'm a happy cowboy.:cowboy:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aaronrkelly:
Just did this on my S3 from US Cellular - worked slick, no issues. Ran right out and tested it.....money!

Thanks a ton.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nygmam:
I should have been clearer. I followed all instructions, and got wallet working perfectly. I did a few nandroid backups to be safe. 1 pre wallet, one post wallet pre activation, and one post activation. After all was working, I tried s-voice and no luck. I then deactivated wallet, and went back to pre-activation. reverted build.prop to stock, tried s-voice and all worked. Then I put s-prop back to htc_jewl, activated, and reverted to stock bulid.prop. rebooted, and tried s-voice and it didn't work.

so for me, s-voice only worked pre-wallet activation, after it activated, it stopped working. I cleared cache and data, and still no s-voice. I have a t-mobile t999 stock rooted ROM and was wondering if I am the only one with this issue. I can deactivate wallet, and go back to pre-mod and do it again, if need be, but I just offloaded my other nandroid backups this morning, so will have to do that tonight.

Edit: works over Bluetooth headset, but not with mic.

Edit2: now it is working again without headset. Interesting....

Edit 3: solved it, and unrelated to wallet, but coincidental to the install. I paired my s-voice to my cordless phone, and while I typically use s-voice out of the house, the one time I use it inside I was paired, and the audio went to the BT phone. The BT Trigger was what twigged it. had the issue again when i came home, so knew mod was fine, therefore you are correct, the issues were user related not mod... Thanks again for the cool mod
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ylexot:
Except that it did NOT fail due to a custom recovery on the Droid X.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skennelly:
I think you still need to download the app from the market. I don't think the zip flashes the app, just allows it to work.

Hi,

Followed the guide, used Root Explorer, etc. Got Google Wallet installed and prepaid card activated within 10 mins. Tried to use it at a walgreens today and it wouldn't even pick up the phone. Possibly the store itself?

Also restored the build.prop and wiped Play cache/data and it's still saying Samsung htc_Jewel when I go to play.google.com - any other suggestions?

any help for canadian users on a clear way to get this to work, specifically on wind mobile?

also, any idea if we can load/reload the google prepaid card with any type of prepaid credit card? i know there is some online one that modaco or whatever suggests, but i'm not paying 40 dollars to get an address with them, only to be able to use it once, then have to do it again.... it's bad enough paying a 5 dollar fee for a prepaid mastercard vanilla, but 40% just ain't gonna happen....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dudenell:
So it seems like I'm screwed... I had to reinstall my rom due to issues with the email client I caused. I deleted all my backups in the process (didn't lose anything really, just time spent).

Anyways after all this Google wallet disabled my prepaid card when I attempted to use it in a store (after I added $20 onto it). So I went ahead and called support and basically they told me verizon doesn't support it on my phone and that I'm sol and that they won't help me unlock the card...

Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is to mod the build.prop file so it looks like a sprint phone with google wallet and just tell them I changed carriers?

This sucks, screw verizon and screw google for going along with their bs.

I have a great idea for google: Buy verizon.

Did you flash the Verizon zip?

It is possible that the Walgreen reader is down...many have had problems with them.

As far as the play showing htc_jewel... this will go away. Then when it does, it might still be under "your devices" where you can delete it.

This brings up a point, if you want NO problems, follow the directions. It doesn't say activate card then go download apps from play... once the card is activated, complete the steps. i.e. 9 and 10

on the op where I thank paul from modaco, there is a link to his Google wallet mod apk. Most of the people on that thread are outside the USA. You can get some answers there.

So step 10, your backed up working Google wallet is gone?

Does it still work and you are just missing the $20?

Or not working at all?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radioraheem:
Anybody happen to know if we will have to restore a nandroid once the apk is updated? Just concerned that installing the update on top of the working app will cause the secure element issues covered in the OP.

To clarify: I installed the update today and, as discussed previously, discovered that it does not work after having the version in this thread installed and working correctly. My concern is that we will need to restore a nandroid backup in order to get it working again once the apk here has been updated.

best to ALWAYS have a recent nandroid.

but I just tried to update via play...didn't work

so I went to applications and "uninstalled updates" to wallet.

then I had to repeat step 2 and 9 to get it working again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FreydNot:
You can read all about the new feature of wallet here.

I made the mistake of updating to the latest unpatched wallet from Google Play. Now I get the message about my phone being an unsupported device. I then rebooted into CWM and reapplied the .zip file posted in the OP. After rebulding the dalvik cache and booting back up, wallet still shows "Not Supported" :crying:

I'm guessing if I remove the .apk with Root Explorer and then manually install the patched v12 version of wallet it will work again. I don't have the time right now to test it out.

Has anyone recovered from updating to the stock wallet app?

I did the same. But I just went back to the app in the market and hit uninstall updates which left me with the old modified version. The app had been blanked so I had to change my build.prop back to htc_jewel and was able to reactivate wallet and add the google prepaid card back. Looks like I'm going to have to call Citibank to add that card back as it keeps erroring out.

lets say you installed 5 new apps since you did your last nandroid and changed your home screen around.

A recent nandroid will restore to your current state.
