This sounds like a dumb question. Do I really need root explorer? Can't I just make a copy of my original build.prop and just copy it back when done setting up?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Shep FC3:
No I used ES file explorer and it worked fine. Even though I manually copied the file, it made a backup for me when I edited it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ConeyKiller:
I'm familiar with ES..what about OI file manager? Also, so I can't just make a copy of the original, edit the original, then just replaced the edited version with the copy of the original?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sir_Brizz:
It just has to support elevated privileges, which many file explorers do not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ConeyKiller:
ahh...ok. hmmm I tried ES like said above...but it wouldn't even save the file...said there was an error.

Well, after much debate, I took the plunge and installed Google Wallet. I followed the instructions to a Tee and came across no issues at all. I even used Rom Toolbox Lite instead.

Google Wallet installed/setup/added card without a problem. I reverted back to my original build.prop file and rebooted. Upon opening Google Wallet, it does not even say Unsupported Device as many have reported. Remembered to turn off auto-updates from the market as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickle3782:
I used Rom Toolbox and it worked fine. Rom Toolbox has a build.prop editor built into it, and even does backup and restore. I just backed up the build.prop, made the changes then I restored after getting Google Wallet to work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daitienshi:
Trying out the newest version of wallet in the OP and now when setting up a card, it starts and then goes to background and never finishes. It'll always give the "wallet is busy setting up another card" message that never goes away. I was able to get r81 to set up my cards but all transactions never go through when trying to pay.

Thoughts, my Canadian friends?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] acloaf:
Same problem for me. I remembered I flashed a rom without resetting wallet so I worried for a bit but when I saw a couple others are having the same trouble I relaxed a bit.

I have been back on TW since the JB update came out but I think I'm going to go back to CM10 in the very near future. I'll report back on whether I can get my Canadian cards to set up successfully in cm10.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
there is a reason I recommend root explorer...it plain works.

there are several file managers that can do the job as well as adb pulling and pushing, tool boxes, etc. But do yourself a favor and spend the $3. believe me, after you research and ask questions, mess it up a few times, didn't stick, on and on... you will be way ahead.

Besides that, I do not want this thread cluttered with "es explorer" how to's (or which ever)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ConeyKiller:
Understandable.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sir_Brizz:
Oh, trust me. I agree. I was just pointing out Root Explorer is not necessary if you know what you are doing. Still, Root Explorer is worth the $3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ObiWanJacoby:
It also helps to use what the OP says so that if you have any problems then trouble shooting can be smoother. In my opinion.

PS, I love the looks on people's faces when using GW :cool:

Hi from where I can get the r87 version?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
OP = original poster/original posting. (the very first post on page 1)

on the op you can find all instructions and downloads
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seanvree:
I got everything working, activated my card and after I restored the build.prop file to stock. I can't launch it anymore. I get the error "unfortunately, Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network."

Can I just run my phone with the build.prop tweaks?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Android_Monsters:
Yes
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
no it will cause problems. you have the market version installed thats why you are getting that error
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] seanvree:
Can I just uninstall and flash the version in the OP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bbgt2:
No you have to start over from the beginning
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
follow the instructions on the op...on step 3, after resetting, then uninstall it and preceed
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] palluk33:
Noob.... I don't really understand the step 9!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
on step 2 when you edit the build.prop (you edit the three lines...not add), root explorer creates a backup of the original called build.prop.bak

so when you get to step 9, you delete the "modded" build.prop and rename build.prop.bak to build.prop

when you do the with root explorer all the permissions stay correct, so you just need to reboot and you will be all good.

*edit there is a video on the op that can give you some visual aid ;)

I had a massive fail twice yesterday due to having my wifi on. It'll pick up the wifi network from one of my haunts up to half a block away (Starbucks, other coffee houses). In this last case it was McDonald's own wifi network which I didn't realize my phone had connected to. Then GW failed because it could't talk to the server although nfc pick up the signal from the apparatus. Then it'll fail again later unless I reboot. I need to remember to have wifi off whenever I use GW.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] squirreltech:
still didn't work. If I forgot to remove wallet and flashed a new ROM would that stop me from adding cards? It keeps failing at adding cards. followed your steps exactely
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
Happened to me. In my case I immediately made a nandroid, restored the nandroid of the last ROM, reset wallet when temporarily there, then restored the nandroid of the new ROM I had just flashed. You can try adding your cards directly at wallet.com first before trying this. AFAIK, you need to have the modded build.prop to get the cards to take, then you revert back to your default values after you have success. Just so you'll know I was more concerned with losing my secure element.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

There is a new app called Wallet installer that make the process automatic, but it costs two bucks. Plus I uses twrp to install. I think it overwrites cwm to do this. I've never used twrp and don't know if your cwm is automatically placed back. I'm considering flashing the latest Wicked, so will need to go through the whole process again. But I'll stick to this method.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] squirreltech:
that's how i added them, on the site first.

and that app is free on XDA

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2024460
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
I edited my post above. If you did a nandroid of wallet with it working, restore that and reset.

EDIT: You're right is is free on XDA, didnt even see that, I just looked at the market link. I'm still afraid of the twrp thing overwriting cwm, though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] squirreltech:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] squirreltech:
well i didn't backup so i have no idea what to do. :(

i use twrp and its much better

I'm going to try r81
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ogdobber:
followed the steps exactly? then you would have a nandroid;)

first thing to try is go back to r81, many people are reporting no success on r87 and r81 works for them..

If that doesn't work, the only answer is to start over...completely. meaning full factory reset and wipe everything.

then you will have a "clean slate" to work with. many times something can get left behind and cause problems.

twrp is pretty and neat, but functionally it is way behind clockworkmod
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] squirreltech:
I meant i followed this guide exactly

I recommend that uninstall the updates first, then delete the file from system/apps

then start from the beginning:

flash google wallet http://xdaforums.com/atta...5&d=1354120437

after flashing the file Wipe Cache and Dalvik

reboot. change the build.prop "use root explorer if possible" to:

reboot and open google wallet, activate, add the cards.

change build.prop back to original setting.

reboot, and enjoy your wallet in your phone.

Also, 81 didn't work but i did find a backup on my PC. I'll give that a shot, then try a full wipe of everything
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vegasdiceshooter:
I followed guide and I fixed wallet the first try, quick questin will a body glove case effect nfc from working?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:
I seriously doubt it will have any ill effect at all. We would have heard something in the forum by now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RobbieL811:
I wouldn't think any case would have a negative effect on NFC unless the case was made out of aluminum or some other kind of metal.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tango259:
Same thing happened with mine. Couldn't get it into recovery mode for over an hour. Finally got it, wiped everything, then re-flashed the backup i made.

Somehow my flash counter got incremented. I am on rooted stock JB with flash counter at 0. I added CWM via command line without incrementing the counter. I flashed the stock TW for JB per this hack from inside CWM and now my flash counter is incremented to 1. Strange, because my understanding was that if CWM was enabled via the shell anything that CWM flashed would not increment the flash counter.

Is it worth it to try Triangle Away, or should I just leave it alone until I have some pressing need to unroot and go back to stock?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RobbieL811:
I wouldn't do anything with it until you have the need to reset the flash counter. I also installed CWM touch through terminal emulator & I still get flashes counted. I would leave it alone until god forbid you ever have to send it in for anything.

Android Is Upgrading... Message

I had this successfully working on my Verizon Galaxy S3 running Ice Cream Sandwich. Then when the OTA update was released I flashed the VRBLK3 build from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974114. After I was rooted I followed the instructions for installing on Jelly Bean and flashed SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib_nfc-fix-jellybean_4.1-1.zip along with com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r87-v15.zip. Now every time I reboot my phone, it says "Android is Upgrading...Starting Apps" right before the lock screen appears. It isn't actually rebuilding the dalvik cache or anything, it just says that for about 5 seconds every time it boots. I reflashed back to stock and determined that this is caused by the SGS3-TW-US_variants-lib_nfc-fix-jellybean_4.1-1.zip. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? I saw one reply earlier in this thread asking what I think is the same question, but no solution was given and no one had previously determined which package actually caused this error that I was aware of. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 78Staff:
Installed this previously on stock rooted LK3, and everything went off without a hitch. Took a few minutes to add cards, but that was expected.

Installed Task's Preview tonight to check it out, figured I would give this a try on it as well. Everything went fine except that it was taking forever to add the cards. It never failed, just the processing circle animation kept running, and running...and running... Anyway after about a half hour I just rebooted, figured I would nandroid back and not worry about it (it is a preview, after all :). Anyway after rebooting I get the notification that GW is configured, yada yada yada, so I open it up and the cards are activated. So, maybe it worked after all, and just hung for some reason at the end. Anyway, will try to test it out somewhere later today and see if it's actually working..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cjranucci:
I have that happening as well. Stock JB rooted. It really is just a minor annoyance. Doesn't hurt anything. Plus I don't even reboot that often anyway.

Tried it today at Best Buy - tapped, got the beep, put in the pin, tapped again, but after that it failed. BUT, the cashier said their terminals never work, she's only seen two transactions go through in a few months. So not really the best test. Will try again somewhere else and report back.

For those that cannot get it to work did you install the app BusyBox from the market? I had to do that for it to install BEFORE trying the installer.apk from the OP. I missed reading that in the OP the first time and it didnt install. Then i read that you NEED BUSYBOX and I went to the market and downloaded busybox and tried the installer.apk again and THEN it worked.
