Help anyone?

First off this works great!! Been doing this for the last 2 months! Works at all CVS and Jack in The Boxes so far.

But, today I went to to put the copied original build.prop back into system and renamed the edited/hacked one to _build.prop, but it got stuck at Samsung logo at boot. Recovery & Download mode OK.

I had a CWM backup from a month ago, I know I should have done a backup up & at least weekly while developing apps, but i have now recovered back to the old one, and man it's old.

What I am looking for is can I can I go and edit/replace the build.prop in a CWM backup? Or push it through ADB in Recovery mode? How can I get the good build.prop in the backup or on the phone while in recovery or dl mode. No wipe & clean yet.

Note:

I did try using ADB while in CWM, but phone did not get recognized in ADB, needed phone back, so just recovered last month old backup for now. If I can recover the looped backup, and get ADB to recognize device, then i know I can just push it to the /system folder, but will ADB work in CWM recovery mode? Never done much ADB in recovery or DL mode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
First, with the method in this thread, you build.prop should have been set back to the original right after you successfully installed your cards during setup. I've seen other methods of installing Wallet that leave the build.prop modded, but not this thread. Second, I think what you did wrong and what caused your phone no to boot, was "fix permissions" of the build.prop before you rebooted. Fixing permissions in recovery should have rectified that error. Now that you are on an old backup, you might as well start over.

GS4

Any fix in the works for the Galaxy S4?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SpasilliumNexus:
*facepalm* Dude that phone JUST came out in some places and all variants aren't even rooted yet. Give them time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djmouse:
it looks like the newest version on wallet is 1.6-r96-v16 anyone have that zip file, ive had no problems with wallet till about a week ago been using it fine with my gs3 by using the 1.6-r96-v13 zip and using the galaxy nexus build prop values it still works now but when i rebuild prop wallet is not supported?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
It's been awhile since I've looked into Google Wallet for my Verizon Galaxy S III, but am now curious enough to get it installed. Have been on unrooted stock since just before the latest Jellybean OTA.

I've tried reading through and doing various searches, but am still wondering about a few items:

1. Various sites offer that I can simply root the phone, edit build.prop to make it appear I have a different provider/phone, then I should be able to install Google Wallet from the Play store. Then, after adding the cards, I can change build.prop back to normal. Is that correct, or do I need to use the local files for installation?

2. Why is there an "NFS fix", please?

3. Can I go back to unrooted stock after installing and configuring Google Wallet?

Still reading through, but if anyone has above knowledge to share I would appreciate the guidance.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
Sure, but it's a valid question to find out if ogdobber or someone else is working on a fix for the new Galaxy S phone.... ALL variants have root as of yesterday but we don't have recovery yet, so we're trying to see what we can do to get this up and running

Thanks in advance to any one looking in to the fix!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dannyben:
Lol... I didn't even pay him any attention. Figured he was just picked on as a kid and starving for attention since no one has ever given him any.

The phone is out & it's rooted. For me at least, this is a must have app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KryptosXLayer2:
Agreed, it is a must have app - even though I couldn't pay for my damn S4 today at Best Buy using my SIII since their stupid PayPass machines don't work with GWallet! I've tried every time I make a purchase, and sadly, the last purchase I would have ever made on my SIII with a working GWallet to buy the S4 wouldn't go through.... Even the guy in the Mobile department was like "you would think that as a tech company (don't laugh, I can hear some of you on XDA laughing already), we would have working PayPass machines that take payment using Google Wallet...."
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] djmouse:
heres what i did to get it working again on my s3 i uninstalled wallet manually rebuilt the build prop using maguro, Galaxy Nexus, yakju like i usually do i just turned off auto updates on the play store rebooted into recovery flahsed the 1.6-r96-v13 zip that i have set up wallet went fine, rebuilt my prop back to d2att SGH-I747 d2uc reboot doubled checked that play store wasnt set to auto update good to go used it 3 times today
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
Im not working on that phone yet (at least for now) I have the one...still trying to get that sorted.

for the s4, i will need to test on that phone or have someone that can provide feedback. Thats if it goes easy, if there are hurdles then from my experience I need a phone in hand to solve.

read the op, it explains everything

one thing to note, the smx might be enabled on the new ota jellybean roms thus not needing that fix (i dont know maybe someone can elaborate)

after wallet is installed and working the phone can be unrroted and wallet will continue to work.

first step is recovery, then you could try flashing wallet and changeing the build prop....may work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Thanks, I read it a number of times, but didn't catch that the fix file was all about the SmartMx need, for some reason.

Plus, since you helpfully added the local files for install, I wondered about the possibility of installing from Play as an option, too - in the end, either install source would be fine for me.

I'm curious, too.

Thanks for that confirmation.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
play store installation can be done if you leave the build.prop as a galaxy nexus, but that breaks other things...

however if 'Xposed' is available for the sgs3, it makes things quite simple and the play store wallet can be used. (with pauls xposed module that disables wallet checks)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
So is what you're saying is it may by possible to mod the build.prop, download Wallet, use Xposed to keep from getting wallet checks which enables you to restore original build.prop and not risk breaking anything?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
yes. in theory. I haven't tested it yet...

also the build.prop can be edited with pauls xposed modaco toolbox
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
Ahhhh, it'll be interesting to find out. Wallet still works fine, but is just a little slower than it used to be in most cases. Still, it never fails to impress and I only wish Google could get more better known retailers online. There are plenty of places to use it if you look in the 'Explore' section, but most of those places I never go to.

Anyone have the latest patched Google wallet?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnhazelwood:
I had Google Wallet running perfectly on CM10.1, but then stupidly decided to upgrade to Wallet v16 (which didn't work). Reverted back to v13 and now I can't get it to setup (Device Setup Failed). Any ideas on what might be causing it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PsychoPops:
Did you edit your build.prop before setting up wallet?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnhazelwood:
Yep, it installed fine, gets through the passcode portion, but then says device setup failed. Haven't had a problem with it running until now. Wondering if Google did something on their side. I should have left it up and running and not tried v16.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
Try going to wallet.com and disabling wallet. Then see if it will finish setting up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
There's an app that will automatically change your built prop and install google wallet. It can also restore your built prop. I believe it's only for US s3.

Thanks for your reply and all your work on this. Now that we have recovery, I'd love to help. Any way to test? Same files as GS3 or by changing build.prop to Sprint version of the GS4 . Anyone have the Sprint settings?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
no no not the same files. whoever whats to test send me a pm and I will have something together tonight.

prerequisite- must be able to run logcat
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joemagistro:
see my post here and read what i have done..... any help is appreciated! the files that i swapped out are listed here as well

PS... the sprint build.prop is in my thread here too..

im having no luck

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] agriff:
I posted this in Paul's Modaco forum but maybe it will be more usefu to someonel here....

I pulled these CSC edits from the Sprint Galaxy S3 (only US GS3 with official Google Wallet functionality)

<CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>GOOGLE</CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>

<CscFeature_NFC_SetAccessControlType>NONE</CscFeature_NFC_SetAccessControlType>

You would add these lines to either /system/csc/feature.xml or /system/csc/others.xml**if your ROM doesn't have a feature.xml. By comparison, the US at&t Galaxy S3 has the line in it's feature.xml

<CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>ISIS</CscFeature_NFC_SetSecureEventType>

but does not have the 2nd line, at all.**
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
If we make this change on our non-Sprint SGS3's, what will happen? Are you suggesting we won't need the lib fix any more, or will it allow native support for Google Wallet?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] agriff:
Not suggesting anything. Just providing more info for those more knowledgeable than I on the subject to try to get it working. Until the last gWallet update I had Wallet working on my att GS3 without these csc changes. I made the changes recently but it is still not working for me. Still, it must be at least a piece of the puzzle. Csc changes are fairly important in Touchwiz roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
I really don't understand why carriers have to stick it to us like this. The number of people who mod their phones is so small compared to the total number of persons who own them and don't have a clue. why can't they leave us alone to have choice!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
Okay guys, I think I got things working. Here's what I did.

US T-Mobile Galaxy S3

Rooted stock 4.1.2 UVDMD5 rom

Wallet version 1.6-R96-v16

Prerequisite: reset google wallet, and uninstall any version of google wallet you have installed already.

1. Flashed the "SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib_nfc-fix-jellybean_4.1-1.zip" file from the OP. Not sure if this was needed. Would like to know if someone can get it working without doing this first.

2. Went to this thread and downloaded the "XposedInstaller_2.1.4.apk" from the OP and installed it. Then ran this apk and pressed the install button. Rebooted.

3. Downloaded this MODULE for the Xposed Installer and installed it but didn't activate it yet.

4. Used root explorer to mod my build.prop to match the nexus model from the OP of this thread.

5. Rebooted, then went to play store and installed google wallet and set it up until it showed my active payment method.

6. Activated the module from step 3 by going into the Xposed Installer and using the modules tab.

7. Restored the build.prop file that root explorer created as a backup.

8. Rebooted and started google wallet. Looks good and I am back to original build.prop file with not edits.

No warnings about device not being initialized, or device not being supported. Have yet to test at a store, but all looks to be working now.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you were able to do this while skipping step 1. I'm not sure that it was actually needed or if this broke any new NFC features released with the latest 4.1.2 rom update. I'll let you know when I have tested this at the store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
Interesting! I would very much like to know if anyone gets it working this way on an AT&T variant.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
Why not try it for the rest of the AT&T users? Come on, take one for the team. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
I would, but I'm currently engrossed in my current project of setting up my own Asterisk server (on my old netbook). That is, when no one is looking, as I'm not supposed to be "goofing off."

If no one else does it, I just might do it. I got pissed at Google Wallet previously, because I just couldn't get it working before, and I still don't know why.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
I'm not much good at deving, but I'm pretty good at systematically trying every combination of steps until one works. Let me know if I can assist you in any way. I was sort of surprised when it all started working on my phone after an hour or so of trying different methods. We'll see if it holds up when I actually buy something, or if I will look stupid trying.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
I kept getting the error "Wallet is unable to proceed until this device is fully initialized. Make sure the device has network access and try rebooting if the problem persists," and the Google Wallet Installer app didn't work for me, either. I posted about my troubles ~3 pages back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
I had the same thing happen to me, so I turned off the modul listed in my instructions, and did the build.prop edit and rebooted. When I finished setting up google wallet while my phone thought it was a nexus, it worked perfectly without that error. Then I just reverted back to my old build.prop and turned the module back on with the Xposure Installer app. Rebooted, and wallet was still working. ;) Good luck.

Tmobile new update 4.1.2

I just update to 4.1.2 and lost my google wallet :'( , can I re install again with the 4.1.1.zip? Thank you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
Really? You couldn't read back 1 page? I just outlined how to get it working on my T-Mobile GS3 on the 4.1.2 firmware and the latest version of google wallet. Just sayin', the answer is there if you look.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] firefreak664:
So far seems to work on att but I have not tested it at a store yet. But I don't have any of the warnings or anything like that, moon fire your the man for figuring this out.

Great! This is my next project!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
Woo hoo!! It works!!! I mean, I haven't actually bought anything yet, but I'm where you were when you posted this. And I've never even gotten Google Wallet to launch successfully for me before.

I can also add that I skipped flashing the SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib_nfc-fix-jellybean_4.1-1.zip file in recovery, and Google Wallet gave me a "secure element" error. I then flashed that file at your Step 5 (after rebooting), then Google Wallet worked! It did have a notice on top telling me that my device was not supported, but it still let me set up my Wallet.

I've restored my build.prop, rebooted, and Google Wallet seems to be working fine. My phone is currently in a nandroid backup.

Thanks again, moonfire711!

(BTW, my Asterisk server project went down in flames.)

Edit: Just to be clear, I got Google Wallet working on my i747 (AT&T) using moonfire711's method detailed here. Now, I need to buy something...

It's great to see that this is working for more people than just me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] meet2x4:
Ok I've searched and searched and can't find an answer. AT&T stock 4.1.1, I747UCDLK3 looked like it was going to work, followed the instructions but when it comes to selecting my account to associate with it just gives me a failed to add account error "An error has occured while adding your account." Tried wiping cache and dalvik, no luck. Any suggestions guys?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
Maybe try creating a new account to see if it works. If so, then it's not the phone, but probably something related to wallet and your original account. If another account doesn't work, then you might have an issue with your secure element due to not resetting wallet before flashing another rom at some point. These are only opinions based on very limited information. Hope it helps you with finding a working solution.

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. No matter how I go through the installation process, I always loose my NFC option in Settings...

I've installed Busybox, then Wallet Installer, then ran Wallet Installer and rebooted (a month ago)...NFC option missing...

I couldn't get my NFC option back so I wiped my phone...

Tried it again today using the instructions found on this thread and got the same results...No NFC option...

Ran the installer, then ran the update...

Is there something I'm missing? I've only seen one person with the same issue as me...

If I can't get this working, how can i get my NFC option back without wiping my phone?

AT&T Galaxy S3
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] meet2x4:
Thanks moonfire. Got a little further by using a backup gmail account, now I get the expired version of wallet error. I get this sneaking feeling that since my account is a Google Apps account it's causing issues. I'll keep messing with it until I get it figured out. Thanks again!

Update: So far the problem is now gone since using the latest version of Wallet in the OP. I didn't put 2 and 2 together. Sorry for the wasted posts on this thread.

I am having the exact same problem as you, i've tried for hours to figure it out, but I'm about to give up. It happens to me on Rootbot 3.9.1, cm10.1 nightlies, and cm 10.1 rc2. My NFC settings always disappears when I run the installer, or when I edit the build.prop myself, and flash	com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r87-v15.zip in twrp. I normally have to reflash cm10.1 and gapps to get the option back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] meet2x4:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
Thanks buddy! I appreciate it.

For those losing NFC, you are probably flashing the wrong files. If my memory serves me correctly, if you are on aokp or oasp (such as CM10) you are losing NFC because the files you are probably flashing are not compatible and are meant for the TW based roms. As a test, make a nandroid, and then flash a TW based rom, even the latest stock rom or something, and use the files you have been using to try again. You will likely find that NFC continues to work. Now, the next issue is finding which files to use for an aokp or aosp rom. I'm currently on a stock rom, so I'll leave that one up to you guys. Let us know if this is the issue or not after you run my little test. Good luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lordmorphous:
If you are running as AOSP based rom, such as CM10 or AOKP, simply flash the wallet app only. Or do like I do and manually place the apk in /system/app/ and change the permission to rw-r--r--. Modify your build.prop (I always use the htc_jewel settings), reboot, setup Google Wallet, restore the old build.prop, reboot and you are golden. The other zips that have the libs and modified NFC files are for stock roms only.

I've never had GW not work for me this way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moonfire711:
Yeah, exactly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:

Remove any instance of Google Wallet and Wallet installer (or however you got NFC back)...Then check out this link...I finally got it working...Make sure you disable auto update in the Play Store as well...I had to do the process a second time because it updated...
