[Guide] to get Google Wallet working on Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) Android 4.1.2 in New Zealand

I want to start by saying thanks to evilbarcode best post out there However i had to do a few different things to get google wallet 100% work on DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) Android 4.1.2

REQUIREMENTS:

1: Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom). A similar method would probably work for others.

2: Root Access

3: MarketEnabler from here

4: Root Explorer from PlayStore/Market

5. BACK UP! use Titanium Backup ★ root from the play store if you have no idea how to back up you phone. this will save you a lot of time if something goes wrong.

Guide

1) download the latest google wallet app from the xda post "Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc". usecom.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.6-R96-v13.zip - [Click for QR Code] (4.60 MB, 1781 views) which is/was the latest and put the

2) Use root explorer and mount as r/w. you must mount as r/w (it is an option in root explorer. look and you will find it)

3) go to /system/ and look for build.prop

4) open with text editor in Root explorer

5) within the file, search look for ro.xxxx, not ro.sem.xxx. look for exactly below.

so Only change the ro.product. fields here. so it should look like

ro.product.brand=SEMC

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus

ro.product.name=yakju

ro.product.device=maguro

ro.build.tags=release-keys

you will also notice that ro.product.model= doesnt exist. ADD IT!

Note: If you stuff this part up you will probably get a boot loop (i did first time) and then you would have been wishing you backed up

6) Use MarketEnabler and set your market to US T-Mobile

7)put the google wallet application from the zip file from prereq step 1 to /system/apps and set permission to 644. if you dont under stand what the numbers mean google it.

8) go to setting,more and check nfc and under wallet select google

9) reboot

10)make sure you clear all goolge wallet ap data and uninstall any previous versions of google wallet

11) install the app you have just put in /system/apps

12) open the app

14) after you get google wallet to work then launch root explorer

15) go to /system and rename the build.prop to build.prop.ori

16) rename build.prop.bak to build.prop

17) the last 3 steps will stop your phone from thinking its a Galaxy Nexus

18) reboot

Done!

Notes This is not required for the app but usefull. Boot to recovery enabled. use X-Parts from the play store and also install doomrecovery based on clockworkmod recovery on sony xperia s. I wouldnt find the [Xperia S] DooMKernel (v01) on that site and ended up getting version 4 from another page. also if you run version 4 dont install the modules. you don't need to and when i did it messed up my wifi.

Note: for DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) i couldn't boot into recovery for some reason which is a pain in the ass but the above works.

I would add links if i could but i am new to xda

My problem

The app works fine and I have my kiwibank visa debit card loaded onto it (which is a new zealand visa debit card). I went into countdown (a supermarket if your not in new zealand which supports contactless payments) . I put my phone up the the terminal and my phone vibrates and says processing the eftpos machine says processing then my phone and the machine say declined. Not because i am poor :P. Then the eftpos machine says please contact your bank.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

does the card loaded onto my google wallet account have to support contactless payment?

my speculation is that kiwibank dont support visa paywave only mastercard paypass and i dont have a mastercard paypass card, so i am thinking that i might need to enable contactless payment with my bank account.
