[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] story:
I got this because of it's dual sim and SPMultiPortFlashDownload wasn't working so I rushed into things and flashed a wrong ROM (1GB ram instead of 512MB ram).

This should be the exact phone I have. http://goo.gl/Z1icsh

The photos look exactly the same but my resolution is 854x480.

My cell signal is not working. It can detect my SIM card but it has a red slash on it.

Wifi works and I updated both IMEI the same as the stickers on back of phone.

SIM Management is grey out and SimToolKit is not opening.

Any idea if I can even fix this? I tried over 10 roms that I think is the same model as mine.

I am trying to bring a clean Wallet Thread and I take no credit for any of the work. I have some Threads over in the NOTE II but this is the same thing that I already have posted over there but tailored and cleaned up for the T-Mobile Galaxy S4.. There is a lot of great information, Thanks given and references to their OPs. Hope all works well for everyone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aznvi3tric3guy:
I lost my s3 with Google wallet installed. It was wet and dead when I lost it. I went to wallet.google.com to disable the app on my old S3.

Will I be able to install and use Google alert on my s4 now? I read about the secure element, but it hasn't clarify my understanding.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Sorry I could not reply sooner, but I was out of town my grandmother died, I just got home...You should be fine installing it on the new phone....As long as you reset it like you said from the internet, you should be just fine. Just go through the steps and see what happens

OP Updated

Updated the OP Today

- Updated Method 1 because the build.prop was confusing people - at the bottom it mentioned if you had trouble refer to post 2 Troubleshooting and it seemed this was being overlooked, so it was simplified and added to method 1

- Added a step 4 and 5 to the troubleshooting guide

- Added some Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
OP Updated

Updated OP

- I updated Method 1 with the latest version of a patched Google Wallet R96v16 and made it primary Method thanks to Dwitherel

- Updated all Methods to latest patched version, however Method 2 and 3 its optional as you can download directly from Market but it requires xposed framework without the patched version because xposed disables the root checks and device checks

- Updated Screenshots

- Updated Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
I tried installing the apk, but it won't install. It gives me the warnings, I press install, it works for a few seconds then simply says "application not installed".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Push with root explorer to system /app and change permission to rw-r-r and reboot. Wallet should be installed on boot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
I decided to try the second option and now wallet opens, says its setting up, then closes and I get the message that "unfortunately wallet has stopped".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Uninstall Wallet, but before you do wipe app data and cache, reboot phone and then retry the process. Download Wallet from the market or modaco. You should be good after that

EDIT* even though you install xposed you have to open it and hit install update, install modoca and enable the module in xposed, they all require restarts, the app tells you that and definitely make sure you have the libs flashed. Let me know if you have had any progress
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
I have xposed and the module installed correctly. I had this almost going on another ROM with this method before so I am familiar with it. I had a certificate error with the other ROM, which is why I'm trying again.

Wallet is still force closing after wiping data and cache, uninstall, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot, and reinstall. Also tried throwing in a fix permissions while I was at it.

EDIT - I have tried versions from both from the market and the modoca module. I also reflashed the lib fix for the third time, haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
If it was the apk from method 1 do the wipe again and completely delete any traces of wallet from system /app and data /app and reboot. Make sure you have the Galaxy Nexus build.prop and install directly from the market and then set up wallet from completing. You are the first one I heard with wallet force closing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
I just did a search for anything wallet related in both directories and removed it all. Double checked build prop (you say to use nexus, other thread says use sprint. I am set with nexus), installed from market, and still force closes. I just noticed the other thread says the ROM had to be deodexed, yours says universal. I am thinking that's the issue, haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
You are right I apologize rarely anyone uses odexed especially for theme related issues, I will update the op with that disclaimer
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
Do you need deodexed for the first method? I can understand when you're messing with framework, but I don't know about the other which is a patched app it looks like...

I'm just trying to keep it as stock as possible yet have wallet going. Guess I will check out some bare ROMs too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Yea it's patched but I doubt it will work on odexed, you can try pushing it with root explorer but it will probably force close. But u won't know unless you give it a try. I hope it does work. It is a patched version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
OP Updated

OP Updated

- Modified Method 1 to install NFC Libs and Patched Google Wallet eliminating a step making it easier

- Corrected some Download links that were not correct because of path changes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
Used a new ROM and got it working using the second method. I liked the ability to get the app (and most likely updates) from the Play store vs hoping someone keeps patching the app. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
I like it as well, it's pretty legit... Additionally there is so much you can do with xposed like theming the toggles, battery on the fly, running nova and apex themes on the stock launcher, call record, no ascending ringtone ect....

Anyway glad you got it working man!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] vk2bea:
It installs and looks OK .. (tap and pay is set up) but if I actually try and pay it does not work (the POS terminal gives an error). The GW app doesn't launch so I suspect an NFC issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
I've been noting that, as Android continues to improve, more and more custom ROMs use a new method that precludes the need to install this or any other hacked Wallet install. I've lately upgraded to KitKat, and all the ROMs I've tried can operate just fine with the vanilla Wallet. May I suggest some sort of guideline to say if one has an Android version where this is no longer necessary?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdcnosse:
I've tried both methods 1 and 2 on a 4.3 TW ROM (Infamous 9.0) and all I get is the error message "Unfortunately Nfc service has stopped." over and over and over again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Because I don't have libs for 4.3. Loserskater has a thread with the lib fix for 4.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Updated Version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Delete OP Please
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
Exactly. Which module kills the ascending ringtone? I don't see that option in the one I have now. When I did this the first time around I had a different module that had a lot more options including the wallet check disabler, but I can't remember who's it was.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
I will post the apk when I get home

Edit* the thing you were thinking of is

MoDaCo toolkit

Edit 2* No Increasing Ringtone for Xposed --->

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 02CWRX:
Isn't this the same as the one posted in method #2?

I found the one I had been thinking of, it's this one (for AT&T S4) HERE. Obviously it's not meant for our phones, but all the tweaks I tried when I had it worked (I didn't try ALL of them though), it also has a wallet check disabler.

FWIW, I re-found it in THIS thread I stumbled upon.

Thanks for this!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
I ran out of thanks for the day...but yea I am subscribed that thread its uber legit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] madhouze:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I've been experiencing this issue for a while now and was unable to find any solution that worked until yours right here!

Finally my Google Wallet is working again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JayCapo1-8125:
Setting up Wallet, this may take up to 5 minutes

Ok, I tried Method 1.

When I got to step 8,

8. Open the wallet app and start the setup. Wallet should already be installed from when you flashed the zip in recovery! It might take some time, so be a bit patient. (Make Sure NFC is ON)

It's been sitting on this screen for over 15 mins.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jason
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Double check the build.prop is correctly set for the galaxy nexus. Take a peak at the 3 lines that you are supposed to have set and make sure it is in fact set correctly. Next refer to the trouble shooting section about resetting wallet from the Google website. Once you do that go to application manager and wipe the app cache and data, do a reboot and then try the set up again. Make sure NFC is on before you start again and you have a good Internet connection. Let me know what happens

If it gives you an issue wipe app cache and data and try method 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slayergreg:
For some reason aftrr doing method 2 none of my samsung apps like hub dont work says device not found or no internet connection
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
You have to make sure you change your build.prop back to stock or none of them will work, like if you try and open S Note it will tell you what it sees your phone as.....Change your build.prop back to stock like it says in method 2 after you have completely set up Wallet, reboot and all your Samsung Apps should work again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Updated OP

Updated OP

- Added changes to method 1 - if AOSP people have issues, move to method 2 as Primary - It Will Work

- Updated Methods 2 and 3 in addition for AOSP

- Corrected T-Mobile build.prop

- Other changes I am forgetting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] asimons81:
Thanks for this. I'm going to give it a try later tonight. Appreciate the thorough guides.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Good luck should work with no issues
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lewanuva30:
So not sure where else to look and I've tried everything I can think of. I used method 2 and it worked perfect. Wallet is set up and opens and appears to function perfectly. However when I try to actually pay with it It doesn't work. NFC is turned on and works with tags that I have. I've also tried paying at several different places and it just does nothing. I'm running cm10.2 if that makes a difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
I am not sure how CM 10.2 is but even though nfc appears on it may not be functioning property. Try a McDonald's, some places reject contactless payments.... Does it reject payment or does nothing happen. There is no screen off mod. Before you pay, open Wallet, it will ask for your pin, do that when you are paying... Hover phone don't touch the payment pad. Let me know if any of this is helpful
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lewanuva30:
I've been trying it with the screen on and app open. I've tried it at McDonald's a couple times and some vending machines at work that all have the icon and say they accept isis. But like I said too I try using an NFC tag I have and it works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
I am not sure what you have going on seems like a ROM issue or payment rejection, they may have contactless payment but not have it active or working. If they do then it seems like a ROM issue, you are the 1st to report this issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Persianhawkes:
Anyway to remove the unsupported device message on aosp?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
What method did you use? You will need to have the root check disabled by using Xposed Framework and disable root checks...Thats easy since you have wallet installed already
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Persianhawkes:
I used the first method. I'll give xposed a try thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
No problem, look at method 2...Steps 1 & 2 will get you what you need and there is screen shots that show you what it looks like. When you download xposed and install the apk, you will have to open Xposed installer in your app drawer and hit install so you get the latest framework then install modaco Toolkit. You will have to enable the module inside xposed installer and restart and the message should go away
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Persianhawkes:
Worked flawless with xposed and modaco toolkit. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Thanks for reporting back brother...Glad it worked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shift_pump:
So custom ROM is MANDATORY? No way around this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
You have to have root... Should work with a rooted stock.... There is no way around not having root unless you are with Sprint
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mu5ic92:
Has anybody confirmed this working with a nfc sim card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
You can give it a try man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mu5ic92:
Just a update. Got it workingm havent tried it out though but the app loads was able to add a card and everything will try it hopefully tommorow
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
dont get discouraged if it doesnt work, try McDonalds, CVS, Home Depot or locations you are familiar with, one may not work, but another will depends on the system if its up or down
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] I[E:
I had it working fine on TW but since switching to CM 10.2 I can't get it to work.

I can set the app up just fine, but it won't respond to any paypass terminal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Yea I am not sure what the issue is with that, I have a zip you can try and test if you want.....I am not sure what it will do since i will never use CM 10 so if you want tot try, let me know

EDIT* Do you open wallet before you buy and enter your pin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Try This Zip ---> AOSP 10.2 CM test
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] I[E:
I will over the weekend and let you know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] I[E:
NFC service fails at boot. Had to restore nand
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Sorry man I am not familiar with why it is not being detected by the readers in the store... It doesn't make sense to me.... I guess continue to use the method where you don't get the nfc issue and see if you have success at another location... Make sure you open the app before you make a purchase if you haven't already

For the life of me cannot get this to work on cm 102. completed all steps and no luck NFC works fine just can't get wallet to work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Sorry man I dont have much to say about CM 10.2...A lot of people are having struggles but I may change the title to AOSP CM 10.1 to reduce the confusion..Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Thanks for the feedback brother I hope everything works well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
Great guide, especially the troubleshooting area. I'm using a screen off NFC mod also, so it makes using Google Wallet even more bad ass for me.

I just did this on an MGA based rom and it seems ok. It crashed during setup but I opened the app again and it worked the second time through. I was hesitant about flashing the file because so many libs got replaced but nfc still works and it boots without crashing. I'll keep an eye out for anything funky. Now I want to go to mcds and try it but it's been years since i made a 2am nugget run. I wouldnt even know which one to go to here :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
I don't think I had any problems with MGA's NFC, but for future reference in more later fw, if ur NFC starts acting up, just delete secwallet.apk. And if you want NFC screenoff, do a search the mod, they work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blazefury:
so i followed the steps exactly and i keep getting the "Device Not Ready" error then it closes on me without success. Im running the stock ROM for now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
Do you have custom recovery installed? If so, wipe cache and dalvic cache, that might do the trick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blazefury:
Thanks for the quick reply but i think it didnt work originally because the .prop editor i used didnt save the changes to the build.prop...its seems to be working now...time to go try it out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] norml:
I think one time I deleted it and reinstalled it because it wasn't working, it still didn't work until I wiped, happy all is well, have fun with it man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kchitown1977:
I'm on eclipse tw ROM. And have NFC Sim and works fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mu5ic92:
So i updated my working wallet to the new version that was released today. I dont see any way to make payments though. my understanding is that the app now works on almost all android devices but certain phone wont work for making nfc payments because of the whole "isis" restrictions. so i wanna know did updating disable paying via nfc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cds36:
I didnt have wallet installed but i tried to install the latest apk. It starts up but then force closes when i try to use it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
I had flashed a rom & installed from the play store.. no we don't get nfc payments because tmobile is being a jerk. You can only send money like paypal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crewchief521:
I just tried a payment at toys r us and it got declined, so I just swiped my card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Did you guys use the patched NFC?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crewchief521:
I flashed the nfc lib patch from the op
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
And it still denied the payment? What exactly happened? Screenshot? Sorry I don't have anywhere local to try it myself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crewchief521:
The scanner read my card but when the cashier did her part it came up and said payment denied. Sorry I don't have any screen shots, this happened earlier today. Can I update thru the play store or will that break the tap and pay option?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
you can update thru the past store. the declined payment must have been a vendors problem or your cc info was incorrect
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
You have to make sure it is ran as credit or the payment will be denied. Also, some places have the payment machine setup, but it might not be live yet. I have success in some places where I don't in others
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crewchief521:
I just updated thru the play store now my tap and pay option is gone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
whoops i guess u need to have the build prop changed during update...sorry. try changing the build prop and clearing data for wallet. do the first setup that way then change the build properties back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Yes you have to change the build.prop before open the new version of wallet or you will lose tap and pay.

All you need to do is the following:

Change build.prop to nexus - Reference OP

go to application manager and wipe data and cache for Google Wallet

Reboot Phone

Launch Wallet, you should see Pay and Tap this time

Set up Wallet until it says Tap and Pay is Ready...

Once it's ready, you can go to stock prop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crewchief521:
Thanks, got the new version and tap and pay. I can switch my build.prop back now right? What's the harm in keeping it the galaxy Nexus?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
you should change it back because some apps query it..primary example is samsung apps want to check if it's a samsung phone or they wont run
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Yes switch back, because some apps wont work esp samsung ones and S Note on the note 2....You can switch back it wont mess wallet up, you are good to go...If it doesnt bother you than dont worry about it, but i like to roll stock with mine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
Thanks for updating the OP. Question though..why did u say method 2 is only for asop? vt0r says it will work on touchwiz too. Is this true? I think i'd prefer the patched apk since I don't have to modify the build props anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
The Patched Wallet will work for either method, however I only have it for AOSP because you are downloading Wallet from the Market directly and the zip file has libs in the top zip where the AOSP doesn't have any zips....It can be simplified to where no build.prop is needed to be changed, but since I did not verify it yet, I put what I know works for sure...I have a thread in T-Mobile Note 2, Dwitherels Zip of what I want to get to where it cuts the steps down even more. However, you get the actual full unhacked Wallet from the Market this way, all the hacked one does is trick it in thinking you have the Nexus prop
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] faiyo:
Thanks..im really hoping to avoid the build prop editing because it requires multiple reboots and referencing the thread. Its not easy when u just want to flash roms and get on. Ideally it will become one flashable zip with the libs and patched apk :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slayergreg:
Did method 2 stuck on tap and pay is setting up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crewchief521:
Might be a stupid question but if I flash a new rom will this break my wallet tap and pay?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
If you want to flash a new ROM, its on the first page under please Read me.....You def need to reset Wallet from the phone before you flash a new ROM, once you reset Wallet from the phone then you are good to flash whatever ROM and then all you have to do is install wallet again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] slayergreg:
Finally got it working but how do you scan loyalty cards, there is no picture taking button or anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
I am not sure I never tried it, what loyalty cards are you talking about?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crewchief521:
I tried twice today and got an error, once at McDonald's and once at 7-11. I used it once at 7-11 the other day and today it said about the cashier doing something. Card reader detected but not read?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
Make sure they are selecting credit as the payment method. You should not have to do anything butter open the app, enter your pin... Hold phone up to reader and pay

How can I install this on stock t mobile rom with root and custom recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bdorr1105:
You would have to manually extract all the files in the zip and replace the ones in the exact locations that are in the zip. However you are odexed so I am not sure if it will give you issues, it may not at all..But thats how you would do it..Make sure you take not of the current permissions of each file you replace thats inside the zip
