You just reminded me to change my build.prop back :)

Something probably went wrong with the build.prop you switched back to. Do you still have the Galaxy Nexus one? If so, boot into recovery, mount system and put that one back in there using the file manager. If you don't have the Galaxy Nexus one, get your hands on a good VZW Note 2 build.prop and push that in there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lisalover1:
I'm in the /system directory of the file manager of TWRP, but all it is showing is the "bin" folder; there's no files to be found... :( Does anyone have a build.prop for this phone?

EDIT: I found a build.prop, and copied it using the file manager, but I'm still stuck in the boot loop. Like I said, I can't see any other files in the /system directory other than the /bin folder and the build.prop I just copied there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
You need to mount System first before going into File Manager. It's in the Mount menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lisalover1:
Still getting a boot loop. :'(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
Might be time to start over :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lisalover1:
I have to reset to factory defaults? Good thing I backed up all my data. If I try this again, should I just keep my build.prop as a Galaxy Nexus next time?

EDIT: I just ran the "Wipe System" option in TWRP, and now I'm stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" bootscreen! Now it won't even let me go to TWRP! For the love of God, HELP ME! D:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
The reason you are in a boot loop is likely because you didn't set proper permissions on the build.prop file. You can do this thru adb. I am mobile right now so I cannot confirm, but I believe the command is

chmod /system/build.prop 744 from a root prompt in an adb shell.

Also it's a good idea to have a recent backup in recovery before you start modifying system files.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lisalover1:
Well, I just wiped everything, so it's a little late for that. I can access TWRP now, but it still is stuck at the first boot screen. Do I need to reinstall a ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
Yes, if you wiped system, you will have to reinstall a rom. Do you not have any backups? You could at least restore a backup and get the phone functioning again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
I got this working now. I did following procedure.....but you will need custom recovery.....such as CWM or TWRP.

*Always make nandroid before attempting anything!!!!!

1. download NoteII-lib_nfc-fix-r87 zip file

2. Install root browser lite from market and navigate to system and find build.prop

3. change the build.prop of following lines

a) ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus

b) ro.product.name=yakju

c) product.device=maguro

-> save it

4. long press on build.prop and make sure permissions are set to Owner Read Write, Group Read, Others Read to avoid bootloop

5. put the downloaded file to sd card on your phone

6. reboot into CWM recovery and flash downloaded file and reboot

7a. open up google wallet and set up the account

7b. if you get stuck on adding google account(like me) or foceclosing issue, you can do the following

a) go into custom recovery and fix permissions and reboot. if this doesn't work out do b)

b) reflash your nandroid and start all over again

8. revisit build.prop and change back to following lines

a) ro.product.model=SCH-I605

b) ro.product.name=t0ltevzw

c) product.device= t0ltevzw

-> save it. check the permissions again and make sure they are set to Owner Read Write, Group Read, Others Read, to avoid bootloop

9. Make another nandroid(the one that has google wallet working)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lisalover1:
I did a Titanium Backup, but that's it... I'll try installing the Beans rom this time. Maybe that will be quicker. *sigh* This is what I love and hate about Android. It's so easy to mess around with and customize, but that also makes it incredibly easy to screw up and brick your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
Working thanks! Just got my spicy chicken on at McDonald's. Doesn't save transactions but neither does my credit card so I suppose that's okay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] G8orDroid:
Ahhh, but the beauty of having a working recovery is that you can do a nandroid backup BEFORE you easily screw up and brick your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
folks.....just wait until proper way to install wallet and do not mess with this yet.....just word of advice....that's all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
No fun in that :) Besides, it works great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
Every step I did to get this to work (VZW rooted + unlocked on Beans v2):

1) Create a Nandroid backup in Recovery.

2) Cleared cache and flashed NoteII-lib_nfc-fix-r87.zip from TWRP recovery.

2) Ran Google Wallet and got the "This may take 5 minutes" crash.

3) Used Root Explorer to Mount system R/W and remove the Wallet apk from system/app

4) Edited build.prop (in the system folder) to be a Galaxy Nexus (CHANGES MADE BELOW).

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus

ro.product.name=yakju

product.device=maguro

5) Save and Exit then long press build.prop and make sure permissions are Owner: R/W Group: R Others: R

6) Reboot

7) Download Google Wallet from the Play Store

8) Set up Google Wallet and register a card. Once it finishes registering the card the app will reset.

9) When it resets and asks which account you would like to use for Wallet, close the app.

10) DELETE (not uninstall) the Wallet apk from data/app

11) Navigate to where you saved the modified Wallet zip and extract the files.

12) When the extraction completes, go to the extracted files location.

13) Copy the com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r87-v15.apk file and paste it in /system/app (make sure you have system mounted R/W).

14) Long press on the wallet apk file you copied and set permissions to Owner: R/W Group: R Others: R

15) Reboot

16) Run Wallet and go through the setup. It should work now instead of crashing.

17) Reboot

18) Run Wallet. If it still works after the reboot, change your build.prop back to where it was originally (CHANGES BELOW).

ro.product.model=SCH-I605

ro.product.name=t0ltevzw

product.device= t0ltevzw

19) Make sure the build.prop permissions are still Owner: R/W Group: R Others: R

20) Make another Nandroid backup.

21) Go try it out!

NOTE: Google Wallet is not usable everywhere that Bling/PayPass is! Just because it doesn't work at one place does not mean it won't work at another!

Merchants where it is (most likely) guaranteed to work can be found here: http://www.google.com/wallet/how-it-works/in-store.html. Some other places that are not listed there may still work (e.g. McDonald's). Sadly. some places you will go do not even have their Bling/PayPass system on or working so make sure it's actually working before you come back here saying your transaction didn't work.

Hope this helps. Sorry it's so thorough, I just wanted to help out some of those that might not be so used to this sort of thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
i don't know why but I did much simpler way.

change build.prop w/permission checked-> reboot->flashing nfc patch in CWM-> setup google wallet -> wipe dalvik and partition in CWM-> reset and re-add CC -> change back build.prop-> reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] georgepink:
I haven't unlocked yet, but might tonight. I'm wondering if, since my wallet is working now, can I use titanium to restore after unlocking and expect it should work, or you think it'll require the process? just curious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Yes. Just make sure you copy the required system files before opening wallet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] georgepink:
thanks for quick response! So, do the backup, then also copy com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r87-v15.apk, nfc.apk, nfctest.apk, and nfctest.odex back to system and set permissions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eovnu87435ds:
Hey, just asking over here since the VZW thread seems to have more traction than the Sprint thread (I'm a Sprint Note II user),

Has anybody had any issues with bluetooth after following OP's instructions?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35558133&postcount=69
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
Nope. My Bluetooth is working just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
You should just need to copy the libraries and xmls and the nfc and nfctest apk. Your restoring wallet apk with titanium
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] georgepink:
Can't say for sure it's related, but I'm rooted stock, not bootloader unlocked, and I have to delete my headphones and re discover them every so often. They will connect ok, but music doesn't stream to them. I also use 2 other bluetooth devices and 'think' they work ok, it's just the headphones that don't.

I did use partially, the op's instructions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] theleland:
I searched this thread but can't find my error - when I try to open Wallet after downloading it I'm getting an error of "Insufficient Permission". It gives this error when I first try to run it after downloading and after pasting the r7 apk into system apps folder.

I'm running the odin rooted stock NOT deodexed: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2035404

Can anyone please give me a clue? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eovnu87435ds:
1.download android terminal emulator (you can also do this via ADB if you're familiar)

2. open it, run the following commands with carriage returns after each one

su

(allow SuperUser access)

cd /system/app/

chmod 755 com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r87v15.apk

be sure to replace the part after 755 in the last line with the actual filename you're using, in case it is different

reboot just to be on the safe side.

There may be a simpler way to do this, but this worked for me flawlessly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Insufficient permission is because you didn't replace any or all libraries
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] theleland:
Thanks. What libraries do I need to replace? Are they the nfc and nfctest apks? I only did the r7 file following the instructions quite literally.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techgov8:
I have verizon and I have twrp installed. I changed my build.prop to nexus then flashed the zip. Cleared cache/ dalvik and rebooted then setup the cards on the wallet. Reverted my build.prop back to stock Verizon and booted into recovery cleared cache/ dalvik again and all is working fine.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] msalmasi:
Hey, I've been trying to get Google Wallet to work on my N7105 with no success. I'm wondering if it is because I'm using an international carrier...

Here is what I did to try to get it working:

I followed the instruction on page 8 for pushing the Nfc files, the lib files, and the etc. file.

Now I try to follow the instructions on page 1:

I change my build.prop to Galaxy Nexus. I deleted the modified apk from system/app and info from data/data and restart my phone. Now I can download the official market app (where normally trying to download from the playstore tells me my device is not supported). But when I try to open the official market app it tells my "Google wallet is unavailable for your device or mobile network". Everybody else seems to be able to add cards at this point. Is this related to my carrier possibly? Do I have to be using a US carrier?

Anyway, if I try to continue from this point (delete wallet.apk from data/app and info from data/data, then add modified r87 apk to system/app and restart), attempting to open Wallet app crashes when during the "this may take up to 5 minutes" with a "wallet has stopped" error.

Anyone know what the trouble is? Is it the fact I'm trying to do the initial registration from an international carrier?

Looking at Logcat while trying to launch the official app: "E/DeviceCapabilityManagerImpl(12710): OperatorName=Orange CH, Operator=22803, Product=yakju, Model = Galaxy Nexus not supported"

I'm guessing my issue it related to my network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lisalover1:
My guess is that once hackers have gotten the process down pat, they'll start integrating it into future custom roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
When I got on Beans v3 it went back to the "Setting up Google Wallet" crash. Not able to reset it. Have to do the whole process again...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] msalmasi:
EDIT 2:

Managed to fix my issue. I removed modified wallet.apk from system/app and info from data/data. I then spoofed my Operator code to Sprint which is 310120. Then I connected to a VPN located in the US. Then I downloaded the official market app and was now able to go through setup. Then I deleted the wallet.apk from data/app and put the modified apk in system/app per the instructions. It now booted perfectly.

So for those of you on T-Mobile or a Foreign network, clear wallet apks and data from your system and regrab the official one from the Play Store with a spoofed Sprint operator code, and do the first run that way. That will build the necessary data files for the modified r87 apk to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tjb1:
So I have wallet working on my Verizon note 2. The odd thing is that it does not work at McDonald's only at 7-11 walgreens. Every time I go to McDonald's the app says nfc tap didn't work. Is anyone else having this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] msalmasi:
One final snag: Anytime I reboot the device Wallet disappears from my list of apps and I have to re-enable it by going to the playstore page. This is preventing me from reverting my build.prop as the enable option is no longer available with my real build.prop when looking at the playstore page.

Any idea why my Wallet app is not staying installed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] skim32:
Yes. This seems to be the issue for anyone who uses the apks from post 101. Trying to gather info from people that have successfully paid at McDonald's but it seems that they are all on 4.1.1 based roms.

*Edit*

Oops. I seemed to have mixed this thread with another. A lot of people are replacing their nfc apks with the ones from jedi x-6 and they able to pay at some places but not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] msalmasi:
Running logcat at boot I find this error:

Failed to find provider info for com.google.android.apps.wallet

Anybody know a solution? Might be because it is refusing to lookup provider info with my operator, but I can't emulate an operator code on boot with market access (always reverts back to my original operator code after reboot)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] msalmasi:
Ok so I managed to emulate my operator code as Sprint on boot, but this didn't change anything.

The apk stays in system/apps but disappears from all launchers and App Management. I have to look it up in playstore where it is listed as "Disabled" and I have to re-enable it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tjb1:
How did you get that to work at McDonald's
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] techgov8:
I dont see how everyone is having a problem. I have Verizon and I changed my build.prop to the galaxy nexus then flashed the zip in twrp and cleared cache and rebooted. Setup wallet with my cards and reverted my build.prop back to original verizon note 2 then booted into recovery and cleared cache and everything works fine. I use mine almost daily. So whoever is saying don't flash the zip is wrong and obviously hasn't tried it. I just installed beans build 3 and had to redo the wallet and did it the exact same way I just stated and it worked fine.

Tap'n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] msalmasi:
Another update: I'm able to restore Google Wallet after every reboot by going into Titanium Backup and defrosting it. I have to do this every time. Not the best solution but it allows me to restore my build.prop and unfreeze the app without going to the playstore page. I wonder what is causing it to freeze/remove itself from the stock Application Manager.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
I had to have my note 2 replaced because I tried to do the wireless charging mod and cracked the digitzer. On a positive note, I now have 3 sets of accessories for everything that came with it. I tried to use wallet at best buy today and I got the now common "check with cashier" message and the pinpad said "contactless payment not accepted"

I'm going to try a few different Nfc.apk files to fix, but using the ones from Yoda X 6 got me Nfc force closes constantly, but oddly enough the actual Nfc transaction worked (not wallet, just normal nfc stuff, couldn't test wallet)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Dude I goto mcdonalds every morning it works. Problem is some places dont have thier paywave activated. Easy way to tell when your ohone doesnt work is take out a card that has paywave and when it doesnt work you know that they dont have thier system active
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WarlockLord:
Are you using the Nfc.apk/NfcTest.apk from the zip in the OP, or the ones included in whatever rom you're using? And of course, what rom are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Its TwiX:
Having an issue now that I moved to Beans v3 (not saying it's a ROM issue just a new issue I haven't seen after getting this to work 5 times). I get to Step 8 of what I did last time then when I select an account to setup and hit Next it freezes on the "Adding account" process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
I would clear cache in recovery, reset it, and try to add again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] libbycm:
So, one thing I have yet to read before trying this on my phone is what happens when google puts out an update to wallet? Are we to ignore update, or update and hope for the best? Since 10/3 was last update, I suppose no one knows the answer to this for sure yet, but what are everyone's thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] skim32:
After much trial and error finally got wallet to work at cvs, 711, and the ever so elusive McDonald's. Here is what I have gathered so far.

1. The nfc apks contained in the nfc fix zip are designed for 4.1.1 roms. Those apks worked perfectly for me when using it on stock rooted and any other roms based on stock 4.1.1 like Cleanrom 2.1. My theory is that those nfc files are from the sprint version of the note which natively supported wallet at launch.

2. When attempting to use these apks on roms based off the stock international N7105 running 4.1.2, you will see force closes when trying to run a various apps like gallery, camera, and etc. That is why people are having to replace their apks with their originals.

3. When running a rom based of stock international N7105 running 4.1.2 (ie. Cleanrom 3.3) I have confirmed that the following solution works. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35494553. But he is missing a step and some details. When editing the build prop file, don't jus change the name but also change the other fields to yakju and maguro like it says in the original directions. Also after you're done you must change your build prop back to original. I believe this solution will work with any rom which is based on stock international N7105 running 4.1.2. I believe this is because the International N7105 does not need hacked nfc apk and lib files as wallet was not restricted from these device.

4. If you running an N7105 rom and have already flashed the nfc fix file or used the nfc files from it, then it is too late. If you recall using those files causes android to upgrade some 270+ files on first reboot. Once that occurs I believe that 4.1.1 apks and lib files makes fundamental changes to a bunch of other apps (like camera, gallery, and etc) which is causing the nfc force closes. You must start fresh again.

5. For jedi x rom. I am not sure if the sweet boy method will work. It may or may not. I just haven't tried. But I did compared the nfc files from jedi rom with those from stock N7105 and they are different. Whereas Cleanrom is identical with stock N7105. So if sweet boys method does not work for jedi users, it may be worth trying to pull the nfc files from the stock N7105 rom and trying to use those. Again not sure if it'll work, just a theory.

I hope this helps some of you.

The problem is trying to remember exactly what I did... haha....

I pulled the libs from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1956567

And pushed them to my note.

Changed build.prop to Galaxy Nexus

Then I installed R81 and added account and attempted to add card 3-4 times. Failed everytime.

On the last try it added the cards, but when I tried to select a card it told me I had to reset the wallet app. I noticed before I did this that it had already loaded secure element applet 2.0 (progress!!)

Reset the app but then it wouldn't let me add my account back.

Deleted everything from /data/data relating to the wallet app, deleted the app from /system/app and rebooted and cleared cache.

Reinstalled wallet but used R87 instead of R81. Added my account and cards with no problem. Controller applet still showed version 2.0

Went to CVS to test. The reader activated the wallet app, and told me it sent the payment but the cashier said nothing happened as far as a card number being transmissed.

Went across the street to Rite Aid to try again and their reader wouldn't even register with my phone.

That's where I am now.
