As in the title! I know you have to clear Wallet for flashing a new ROM or doing a hard reset, but I just want to root the stock ROM, not install a new ROM. Will I need to "clear" Wallet first or is it safe to root while it's activated?
Also, if I end up needing an OTA update or RUU in the future, and it kills my root/su, will that damage Wallet permanently as well?
Thanks all!
if you are useing a method that unlocks the bootloader or hardresets your phone i would say yes.. but otherwise i dont believe so
For anything you should is just an extra measure since a lot people in the galaxy nexus forums reported, failed secured element, personally I root my galaxy nexus and unlocked after I set up wallet and nothing happens, flashed maybe 5 roms and I found out about what people was saying about secure elementos since then, I'm used to clearing the google wallet settings before flashing new rom

What if I have not set up wallet yet, do I need to clear before rooting?
If so, how do I do it? Sorry for the dumb a$$ question.
Thanks,

If you did not set up Wallet you will be fine. As a matter of fact when you reset Wallet you actually bring it back to stock so if you didn't set it up it already is where it should be. You will be fine.

I forgot to clear Google Wallet before I rooted and flashed a ROM but I didn't have GW setup before this. I checked it and It's back to the stock initial setup of the account.

Sort of scared to root, as I heard Google Wallet can be exploited via NFC if you are root!

In attempting to edit my Build.prop with root explorer to fix my Google Wallet issue, I must have screwed something up. When I try to re-boot the phone, it wont boot up.
My best guess is, when attempting to revert back to Build.prop.bk (or whatever the back up file was named), I deleted the .bk but didn't save it, and now have TWO DIFFERENT Build.prop.bk files, and no Build.prop.
I can boot into the screen that shows "Fastboot", "Recovery" (though I haven't installed any recovery and have not unlocked the bootloader), "Factory Reset", etc.
Is there any way to get to the Build.prop file using my windows computer or even using the phone, and check to see it's named correctly? I'd really like to not have to reset the phone.
Oh, I don't know if this is relevant, but I am rooted and the screen shows ***Tampered*** and ***Locked***.
Well, no answers so far.
I have since tried clearing storage AND restoring back to factory settings, but it still will not boot! Also, it is extremely difficult to get to the Hboot screen. Holding down power and vol down only works one out of maybe 6 or 8 times. I don't know why.
Run Ruu but that could risk a bricked google wallet chip/secure element

Well, I need to read about how to do that.
When you say that could risk a "bricked Google Wallet chip", do you mean it could screw up ONLY google wallet, or it could screw up my NFC chip altogether???
Also, any link on where to get and run RUU? That is the stock ROM, no? If my phone won't do a factory reset, I assume I have to download the stock ROM?
I also found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27248539
However, my Hboot screen also shows S-On, even though I had rooted. I may have left SuperSU with superuser off when this happened. Will that affect my ability to fix this?
Thanks.
im not 100% but i believe running ruu will unroot you and factory reset.also it will jst brick the secure element not other nfc capabilities.did you reset wallet before you messed up the build prop or was it still setup?
EDIT:here i the link for the ruu.also please don't follow that guide if you are not htc dev unlocked because it is impossible to flash a recovery unless your htc dev unlocked/unlocked bootloader
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Jewel
I had just got Google wallet working! The instructions I was following said, after you get it working, temp unroot and reboot the phone. Thats where I got stuck!
So no, I did not have the chance to re-set Google Wallet.
Thanks for the link. So is that the stock ROM? Will I have to update my PRL? Do I download the newest (higher version number)?
well you could possibly brick the secure element.if it bricks the secure element just unroot and take it back to sprint.yes download 1.13.xxx
no need to update prl
Well, I'm having no luck fixing this.
I am trying to use ADB and Fastboot on my Win 7 PC to flash the RUU to my phone. I don't really know if I'm doing it correctly though.
Edit: Well, I feel pretty stupid. I finally realized that an exe file needs to be run from the computer. I guess I'm just soooo frustrated I can't think.
So I ran it and it force closed. Let me try that again.
just click the ruu and follow the steps no need to use adb
Thank you, par05is!!!
That seems to have done it. You were the only one to reply, and I am grateful.
I just don't know how I f'd this up to begin with. Now I have to re-ad everything and re-root. But no Google wallet fixes for me.
If they want me to use it, they can fix it!!
No problem if you need help with the wallet I can help.they put unnecessary steps
Yes, that would be great.
But I'm more than a little worried, trying to do that is what got me into this mess in the first place! I successfully edited the build.prop file a couple of days ago to get file associations back, but I must have f'd up editing it again today.
Since I was un-able to reset Google Wallet before flashing that RUU, GW now tells me my country is not supported!

Yes, after the update I still get the "GW is not certified in your country or on your device/carrier.
I've tried un-installing the update, clearing the data, re-installing the update, but still get the message.
So mtg981, does the build.prop edit fix this? Or are you saying to forget Wallet right now till Google fixes it or someone comes up with a new fix?
some people are editing the build.prop file by using the model number of a nexus phone, in think it was. That id probably what you were trying? As much trouble as it has been, I'm forgetting about it. I heard Sprint was wallet's last carrier to support it, and now Sprint might be starting their own payment form.

Apple is trying to use iTunes for people to pay for everything. That is why there is the big race for carriers to develop their own "reliable" payment forms-like apple and iTunes. Apple could try and patent that some how, if they reach that point of letting people buy anything with their iPhone, through iTunes.
And that would suck! Another apple patent!

all of a sudden google wallet started giving me this error Unfortunately, Google Wallet has not yet been certified in your country or on your device / carrier.
This is the first time ive gotten this, ive been stuck on the adding a card and i peroidicly check from time to time to see if it works yet and tonight and i now im getting this.. I have to hit ok and it closes the app.. not sure what i should do, im running fresh rom 5.1.1 and it was working earlier today.. i havent installed any apps or anything like that..
i keep thinking to clear the app data and uninstall the update, but im afraid of breaking my secure element.. Anyone have any ideas?

Same thing. I've been fighting with it all day cuz I thought it was because I flashed a custom ROM, but I've even gone back to stock and still getting it.
Interesting. Add this to the google wallet mystery bag. I just loaded up wallet. My app is nice and friendly with me still. I just rebooted a few times about an hour ago too as I did a nandroid(or the twrp equivalent).
I hope that google figures this out because
1. I want to support google and I want them to be successful
2. When iPhone 7 comes out with NFC technology, they will steal the glory and everyone in the cult will be oblivious that android even utilized it first. Google should patent and make an itc suit on it. Hehe.
EDIT/UPDATE
Upon waking up this morning and being paid, I was going to add funds to my google wallet account. I open the app and get the not supported in yuour country message.
I'm glad I at least didn't apply any money to it beforehand where I couldn't use it now.

the google rep i talked to said that they disabled wallet for the lte for a little bit to fix an issue, i would just wait a while. they said they would send me an email once it was fixed. lol just relax and wait a bit this is one of this things that should fix itself. the Rep told me it had nothing to do with the phone itself its something on their end.
I've been doing my best in keeping up with all of the OTA threads but not sure what to do. I know I don't want to lose root or HBOOT.
I am currently running stock with ROOT, S-ON. I have not tried any of the custom ROMs to this point nor loaded TWRP.
I need root for Titanium Back-up and a couple other, non-essential apps. I was successfully using Wallet prior to their shutting it down and am eagerly looking to have it back. While not totally founded, I don't want to risk bricking NFC - though it looks like there is no definitive on whether going to RUU or anything else will brick this.
So, what's my best approach? I'm not opposed to going S-OFF as I was there on the OG EVO - just haven't had a need yet. I do want to be able to flash the radio though since I've had issue with WiFi NOT disconnecting when I leave a hotspot and go to 3G.
Thanks for any input and justification you can provide.

Skimming is when someone steals your credit card number by swiping it through a card reader they are carrying or by replacing the swipe device at a gas pump, etc. they then create a fake credit card with the number they sole and place fraudulent charges. This has happened to me twice in 2 years. Part of why I want google wallet everywhere.

I have a rooted LTEVO (using Zedomax's method), with a modified build.prop (for the Apple patent issue), and I am trying to gain s-off/install TWRP/install custom ROM/etc.
I have read multiple warnings to reset Google wallet before proceeding with custom ROM installs. However, when I open GW, I can't do anything other than press "ok" to the pop-up stating "Not supported" (Unfortunately, Google wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network).
Is there another way to reset GW? Should I proceed with s-off/custom ROM/etc without doing anything to GW?
Thanks
Just to be safe go to settings> apps> wallet clear data, then continue with what you're doing, if your on the latest ota you can't get s-off, you need to flash a rom on the latest ota to use Google wallet

Thanks, I am still on 1.13.651.1 as I did not accept the OTA. I have been having issues getting s-off with Lazypanda, but I plan on trying again soon. I think my modified build.prop was causing Lazypanda to fail but that has nothing to do with this thread.
Don't worry about wallet, you don't have to reset it because you never set it up. On another note, I have installed 15 different roms and factory reset more than that and my wallet works fine each time without resetting. I think its a myth, but you do what you need to do.

Yeah, I actually had GW set up and working before it got shut down, so I will probably have to be careful with it. On a side note, I think I am going to do a factory reset, then gain s-off, then take care of the rest of the steps to get up to date. Thanks for all the feedback!
So this initially stems from my lack of service. I cannot get any 3g data even though my wife's epic touch will get full 4G right next to it. I decided to try and update my prl and stuff. So I need to flash back to a sense based rom. Well I remember that doing a hard reset bricks the nfc chip unless you completely clear out the wallet settings. Well I went to open wallet to reset it and I am greeted with a message saying my version of wallet is no longer supported. So I update and it tells me that my device isn't supported by wallet yet. Any ideas what I should do?

Also, as far as bricking the secure element in Google wallet, that is no longer the case from what I've read, as the info is now stored in the cloud. And Bigdaddy is correct-the unsupported device message at the top of the screen has to do with the fact that you are rooted. Google Wallet will still work. If you are getting a message when you initially try to open wallet that says the version isn't supported on your phone yet, you just need to find an updated version to install.
The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
Wallet used to open perfectly fine. I used it probably a month ago. I then tried opening it today and got the unsupported version message. I only have the option to exit or update. So i update from the play store and when i open that i get unsupported device and the app closes. I dont see a way of using it unless i am missing something.

Every time you update cm10.1 your wallet resets itself. It's almost impossible to brick your nfc anymore since the secure element is now off loaded to the cloud. If your getting an unsupported on this device message you need to download the modaco version of Google wallet.
