[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jwabney:
Working on Verizon S3

I followed the instructions and got this working on my US Verizon Galaxy S3. My circumstances may be diffrent but heres what i did from start to finish. Probably to much info but it got me up and running so i hope it helps someone else. BTW as someone who always leaves his wallet in the car by mistake Google Wallet is AWESOME!!!!!!! tested last night at CVS!

Finally after getting gumption to root my phone i was successful on the first try. My steps were as follows :

1.	Download Root Explorer ( You'll use this to change your build prop later on for google wallet)

You'll also need to download these three files (follow droidstyle directions here for section 1)

•	Section 1: (For Windows OS)How to Odin stock pre rooted 4.1.1 JellyBean/Unlock bootloader/Flash a Custom recovery

Step 1: Download these files to pc:

Odin- http://xdaforums.com/atta...2&d=1340993443

Samsung driver- http://tinyw.in/Fdoz

VRBLJ1 4.1.1(root66)- http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426207 (This stock rom by Mr. Robinson is prerooted and will need to be unzipped to extract the .tar file)

Step 2: Power device off, hold the volume down/home/power keys until you see a yellow triangle, then press the volume up key to access "odin or download mode".

Step 3: Open odin and connect the oem usb cable to pc & device. There should be a "comport number" in upper left hand corner of odin indicating communication between the device & pc.

Step 4: Click on the PDA function of odin. Select the stock rom you downloaded in step 1, then select start. This operation should take less than 8 minutes before odin will say pass/reset and should reboot. If not manually reboot...

Step 5: Open up the SuperUser application from your app drawer and make sure its up to date!

Step 6: Download the EZ-Unlock app to your device from HERE.(Only use version 1.1 or 1.2 for now as the latest versions have issues!) I used version 1.2 be sure to grant super user permission when it opens

Step 7: Open the app and select unlock! Now your unlocked...yup its that easy!

Step 8: Download the EZ-recovery app to your device from HERE.

Step 9: Open app, select CWM recovery, tap the pulldown menu, choose CWM 6.0.1, select flash, then reboot recovery. You'll need to hit the dropdown box to select 6.0.1.0 be sure to grant super user permission when it opens

Step 10: Congrats you are now rooted, unlocked, and have a custom recovery installed!! If you want to flash a custom rom proceed to section 3 or 4.

•	Now that i was rooted and set with my custom recovery.

•	Make a nandroid backup I saved one to my sd card and one to my phone. get directions here with screenshots which helped me greatly.

•	Use root explorer to change your build prop i followed the instructions here (listed below)

•	so this is how to do it. (btw you need root)

1-make a nandroid! I am not responsible if you mess up your device

2-edit you build.prop using root explorer (when you press save, it creates a build.prop.bak)

do not use ES explorer, it does not save correctly, for that matter ONLY use root explorer!

/system/build.prop

preferred

Code: I used this one

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus

ro.product.name=yakju

ro.product.device=maguro

or

Code:

ro.product.model=htc_jewel

ro.product.name=htc_jewel

ro.product.device=htc_jewel

3- I didn't have google wallet preinstalled If you already have Wallet installed...open wallet, go to settings and "reset google wallet" (if it hangs at 99%, reboot and continue with steps)

•	I Wiped my cache prior to starting to flash not sure if it mattered but my Goggle Wallet is working!

4-boot to recovery and flash i used http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1452377&d=1351903280 (for the Jellybean Touchwiz rom i'm running ) and then wallet version http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1414999&d=1350675233 (once again for the Jellybean Touchwiz rom im running)

(for CM9/10, I9300, aokp, aosp roms just flash the wallet zip)

5-reboot device, you will get "android is updating" (only this first boot)(all apps)

6-open google wallet and sign in. I added a credit card via my computer before hand add your personal credit cards (you must add them from your desktop first if you have never used google checkout before)

7- i didn't get this (optional)if you get "error adding card try again later", wipe cache and davlik cache from recovery (only once! it sometimes takes hours, not minutes)

8-profit (hold on! your not done, continue on to steps 9 & 10)

9- I never went back in to change my build prop back to the original. after it is all up and running (meaning cards added), mount r/w in root explorer, delete the modded build.prop, then rename build.prop.bak to build.prop

•	I then added my card and i was first told it was denied a waited a few mins then tried again after turning on NFC and S-Beam and this time it successfully added the bank debit Mastercard i had from add on my PC earlier in the day.

•	10-make a new nandroid with working wallet and put it in a safe place in case you ever accidentally install a new ROM without resetting google wallet data.

Those are the exact steps i use to get a rooted, unlocked with custom recovery and working/tested Google Wallet on a Verizon Galaxy S3 16gb.

Hope this helps someone!!! :D
