ISIS Wallet, while I don't like it nearly as much as Google Wallet, is giving away a $50 credit for a few more weeks when you install it and sign up for the prepaid AmEx card, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

To get ISIS to work on your rooted Maxx, you must have Xposed on your phone, and install the ISIS Root Bypass module located here (I used the 2.0 version and it allowed ISIS to run on my Maxx):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425346

Procedure I followed to install:

1. Install ISIS and verify that you get the error about being rooted when you run it (I didn't give it root access).

2. Install Xposed.

3. Install the linked ISIS Root Bypass apk.

4. Activate the bypass in Xposed.

5. Reboot.

6. Run ISIS and sign up for the prepaid card.

Haven't verified that it will actually make a purchase yet, as I haven't had a chance, but it did run without the "rooted device" error and shows my prepaid card with the $50 balance.
[Droid Ultra General] hickmanje2:
I'm interested to see if it actually works with payment. I've installed and will try when I swing by somewhere that takes contactless payment. If anyone else tries before that, please share your experience.
[Droid Ultra General] mistermojorizin:
i only got $10 how do you get $50?
[Droid Ultra General] rlmesq:
I used it to buy a soda from a vending machine at the courthouse. It worked as expected.

But I only got $10, too, and would like to know where to find the $50 offer so I can ask amex to give it to me, too.
[Droid Ultra General] morphius2036:
Yeah $10 here too but no root either.
[Droid Ultra General] wireman2161:
Thanks! Dude, I'm not rooted yet (waiting on the next update first) but i did get the $50 on the serve card. You cant beat free money especialy at Christmas time!
[Droid Ultra General] osucowboy96:
Just used it at McDonald's, works fine. The $50 just showed up, not sure if it was a Verizon only deal, but looked like it was just for installing ISIS and activating the Serve card through the app.
[Droid Ultra General] osucowboy96:
Nice thing is, I've got a Maxx and my wife has a Mini, so between the two of us we got $100 free.
[Droid Ultra General] WinDroidGuy:
Did you already have the Serve card & just linked it inside the app?
[Droid Ultra General] osucowboy96:
No, I didn't have the card yet. I signed up for it through the app.
[Droid Ultra General] hickmanje2:
First try, didn't work for me at RiteAid today. Held it to payment - it buzzed and told me on my phone to please confirm with cashier or terminal however no confirmation on terminal, just stayed at screen for payment input. Might speak more towards RiteAid's services than the app however so I'll try it somewhere else.
[Droid Ultra General] osucowboy96:
Does RiteAid accept AmEx? That's the one big drawback on this for me, the only places where I live that I can use this is pretty much McDonald's, because not very many places accept AmEx AND have the fast pay option. Worked without a hitch at McD's last night, though, actually much smoother than GWallet ever was for me.
[Droid Ultra General] hickmanje2:
Yeah they accept it. Found it using the Where To Pay locator on https://www.paywithisis.com/ and it had the symbol and everything. Just didn't seem to send the payment information or the terminal isn't working right. Gonna try at CVS by house to test to see which.
[Droid Ultra General] dtreth:
At my rite-aid it didn't work until the cashier hit the button from his side. With the "normal" cards it takes the info and doesn't process it until the cashier hits the ready to checkout button, but since the NFC needs a handshake, it won't move forward until then.

Sounds like the cashier was too dumb to do it, so next time ask if there's something they can hit to checkout on their side. My cashier looked bewildered and would only push the button at my prompting, so I'd say try again.
[Droid Ultra General] hickmanje2:
Thanks. I definitely wouldn't rule out human error. Cashier was fresh off the boat. I'll try that.
[Droid Ultra General] tecsironman:
Worked for the wife an I..only on problem.. Mcdonalds is the only place in our area that uses isis
[Droid Ultra General] WinDroidGuy:
ANY place that uses PayPass, payWave etc will work with Isis, Google Wallet :)

I've used it at 7-11, CVS, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Toys R Us, Babies R Us plus many others
[Droid Ultra General] LOTL:
Anyone know if this can be combined with the Isis 20%/$200 Offer?

Wow that was quick and painless. $50 showed up within minuets of creating the account.

[General Questions and Answers] 12059350:
I have a client/customer with an Android GS4 (USCellular- i know its bad but they are rural and its USCell or bust) that is unable to download any attachments from the native mail client. We are using AirWatch MDM to manage our enterprise email on our Android and Apple Devices though I am not sure that this has anything to do with the issue. When she clicks to save the attachment, it just gives her a blank screen. No error messages or anything, just blank.

-I've tried completely reconfiguring her mail client from step one but that didn't work.

-Also tried turning on Automatic Attachment Downloading, long shot but it didn't work.

-I am sure that wiping and reconfiguring the whole phone would fix it but that takes so long that i would really prefer not to if possible.

Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kudoz1:
Hi everybody,

I'm new in XDA-Developers and in the tablet/Android's world. I recently was trying to modify "vold.fstab" in order to change the way the tablet was installing the apps and unfortunately I made a mistake (although I followed all the steps). Now I am unable to access my external SD card, so I can't put anything there via PC or via recovery. I tried pressing the power button + home button to go into system recovery mode so I could reset the tablet but nothing happened.

Could anyone help me please? I would be very grateful if you could let me know any advice or attach me the original "vold.fstab". I've tried several codes and archives but my Freelander still does not recognises the external SD Card, only the internal memory.

Kind regards,

kudoz1

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freshgiammi:
Hello, i have a question for you!

I bought the Samsung Galaxy Universal Multimedia Dock (www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D200BEGSTA)

which is designed to work with most of the Galaxy family, including our Gnex. Now, everything works well but when you try to connect a 3.5mm Jack to the Line Out, speakers won't reproduce music. I mean, the gnex's speaker keeps working, while it should switch to the external output.

I've read somewhere that the feature that adds Music Stream via USB (which should be named DAC or something like this) has been added since Jelly Bean. But on my stock 4.3 Gnex it is still not working.

Now my question is: is there a ROM or a Kernel that makes our Gnex able to reproduce audio with the Line Out while on dock?

(also, when you go to settings->sound->dock, audio is grayed out and can't access.)

Hey vette95 what did you mean by watch out? Are there concerns for flashing this FTF w/o root and a locked bootloader?
[Xperia Z1 General] jatt101:
Do not flash this ftf if you have locked bootloader. Flash the 4.2 version of this firmware and then let pc companion update, and that's for anyone trying to update to 4.3 directly from.4.2, your phone will not turn on and that's for any ftf

I'm still on 14.1.G.1.534 with Bell so would I flash the 14.1.G.2.257 Generic CA 1276-7484_R7A ftf from main post and then install the 4.3 ftf from this thread?

[Xperia Z1 General] jatt101:
No you flash 14.1.G.2.257 and then let pc companion update it to 4.3
[Xperia Z1 General] metal_god69:
Sorry thats what I meant to ask haha. Thanks.

So far so good. Flashed 14.1.G.2.257 without a hitch and then PC Companion told me there was an update to 4.3 :). Just downloading it now. Thanks again for the help! With Bell missing the last 14.1.G.2.257 update who knows when I would get 4.3.

[Xperia Z1 General] reventon_703:
May I ask if your phone was rooted before you perform the update and how did you get your C6906 updated to 4.3?

I am on 14.1.G.1.534 with Rogers, unrooted, and a locked bootloader.

If I want this update, would I need to:

1) Root

2) Flash 14.1.G.2.257 Generic

3) Get 14.2.A.0.290 through OTA/Sony PC Companion?

I am hearing that you lose root once you update, but in this case, don't you need to root first before you can get the update?

From .257 android 4.2.2 stock orange dominicana to this

I had the stock 4.2.2 (257) rom from orange dominicana and I downloaded this and flashed it thru flashtool on two z1 and both booted just fine, no problems whatsoever, are you sure it is a must to flash the .257 version of this firmware before and then update thru ota? I know it'd probably be best to do so for compatiblity's sake but I flashed this and no problems (didn't even exclude baseband or anything just flashed it and wiped everything including data).

I had the stock Orange 257, flashed the Canada Unbranded 257, updated through PC Companion. Then extracted the FTF, reflashed CA/Unbranded 257 with Flashtool and then flashed the 290 FTF I extracted, because I have to test anything before sharing. It all worked fine.

As for Orange getting the 4.3 anytime soon, ,y experience is that our island is not a priority for ANY manufacturer. So, I guess, we're stuck with Canada for now, if we want the new firmwares. It sucks though, to have no root on our phones for now. But, I'll live.
[Xperia Z1 General] elander:
Yeah, it sucks to be a "tech enthusiast" in DR, we almost always get the worst when it comes to support. Anyways As i said before in another forum, i flashed two this .290 on 2 Z1 directly from the orange stock rom, through Flashtool without having to flash the generic or canadian .257 first. And both of them booted just fine and are running without (mayor) problems.

[Xperia Z1 General] a-Rcky:
The only way to keep root is to updating via OTA, updating via flashtool or pc companion will unroot the device... So, you need to downgrade to 534 or lower, then root the device, and update via OTA in order to keep root in it.

Correct.

I just wanted to get the 4.3 update so no root was not really an issue.
