So, I know all the issues that Google Wallet is having, but my question is this: If you don't setup G Wallet, for example, like with the problems that we're having, can't open/set it up, does that make it safe to flash another rom w/o borking secure element? Or does it not matter and you have to wipe G Wallet settings on any ROM that has it installed? If you don't have to wipe if it isn't setup, that would cause me significantly less pain, but that's why I'm asking
Thanks in advance.
If you never set it up, you're fine.
Key word: never.

Okay, so if I set it up once, wiped and then wasn't able to access again (like my current situation ), I should be fine?
Thanks, I was starting to get worried.
EDIT: What do you mean by never? Do you mean on that ROM, or before you wiped the settings? Or never ever in the phone?
Never on phone. But if you never used the money you are fine

So, if I set it up once, wiped the stats, but never actually used the app, I am free to wipe and install without wiping stats as long as I don't set it up again?
Just trying to make sure I don't bork it in case I want to use it in the future.
Yes. I set it up myself nit never used the 10 credit. It's never given me problems and I never wiped it.

I don't see that, I see normal stuff.
Maybe try via WiFi? I doubt that helps, but just confirm that for me.

Okay, I have officially tried everything. Burned my whole afternoon. Even restoring completely to stock with odin doesn't work. Heading in to Verizon tomorrow.
Just give it some time. Mine was like that for about 24 hours.

Did you try modifying your build.prop file...maybe the footprint got botched.
I did not. Is there an instruction post? I'll search for it tomorrow. About to crash.
Unsure about waiting 24 hours, how does that work?
I know for the dinc there was a market fix so that the phone identified itself as a nexus one to the market. Perhaps something like that would work.

join the club i used Odin to flash CWRecovery and now i dont have WIFI not sure yet if i have market because i dont have 3G service @ home
please some one chime in ???
I flashed CWM last night and everthing is fine. Connected to wifi today at work market isn't giving me any problems.
I was the first guy to get CWM installed on the Fascinate, and I haven't had a single problem with the Market, paid or free.
I don't know if it has anything to do with CWM, but the issue didn't begin until I loaded it, so it's something that got screwed up along the way.
Before I loaded it, I undid the lagfix, wiped, re-rooted, and ran through the CWM steps.
Now I have gone completely back to stock, and am still having the same issues. My G/Fs Fascinate is fine however. I wasn't sure if anyone was familiar with what would be causing the issue, I understand it's working fine for everyone else. lol.

I'm at base zero via your post, followed by a wipe to ensure that I killed root so I can possibly return the phone later today, lol. I'm seriously disturbed by this. Would be happy to try any possible fixes though.

Go do Settings - > Privacy -> Reset Factory Default (something like that).
It's different than a recovery wipe, this will rebuild /dbdata.
I betcha one whole dollar that fixes it. Unless you already did that. In which case I do not bet you one dollar.

ok, so i lost my phone a while back and got a replacement for it... same phone and everything... well i find it and charge it and all my old stuff is stil on there... so i do a factory data reset and the majority of my stuff is STILL on there... ok, so i go ahead and RSD flash it with 198_7, hoping that this would do the trick... my info is STILL on there...
i've already tried removing the account from the accounts app in my list, but it won't let me since it doesn't get service... does anyone know anything that i can do to remove my stuff so i can pass the phone on to whoever???
Put it on Wifi?
Oh and you won't be able to do much with that phone. Highly likely since you reported it missing the ESN is locked down. Got your self a Wifi enabled MP3 Player now.

Is your phone unlocked and has a custom rom? Because it sounds like you are on a phone with a fried wifi radio or your on a rom that was having issues with the wifi drivers like an old joker blur rom but if your unlocked and have cwm just wipe everything

nope... nothing special about it... i did have it rooted and locked... that's about it... i already flashed the stock 198_7 on it to unroot it and back to factory settings... only thing i'm trippin on is the fact that some of my stuff still remains on this damn thing... idk why the "factory data reset" doesn't want to work either... goes through the motions but no results...
Hello,
As for passing it on to a friend, Metro PCS used to not check for bad ESN's when Activating Phones, but this might have changed now that they are selling Cell Phones. That indeed does not make sense that your information is still on there after doing a Factory Reset. I suppose you could connect it to your Notebook and delete all Files with any Personal Information.
Cheers,
JJ
How are you doing your hard reset? A hard reset erases all your data. I think booting into recovery, pushing the volume up and down keys at the same time, and then selecting "wipe data/factory reset" would do it right.
Undertstand that you also would need to do stuff with the phone programming - your phone number and some other account information would be in there. when I got my phone (used), Spring had me do something to wipe everything including the programming information. Of course I didn't take notes, so I don't know how to do it again.
This is probably a dumb question, but have you removed your sd chip?

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?
and sorry for another google wallet thread.. i did try searching but didnt come up with much
I got the same error after a reboot today. I posted in the PSA thread.

Evidently since Sprint is going to introduce their form of wallet, called "Touch" (I think it was) google probably pulled it from us. That and they couldn't ever get it working for all of us. I got same message tonight too.

Anyone tried anything to fix it? I went into recovery and wiped my cache and dalvik cache. Still getting the same thing..

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.
Bummer.
I wish Google would make an announcement about this.

sigh....i hope a smart company like sprint doesn't make a stupid decision like NOT allowing Google Wallet on their phones. It will be extremely disappointing.
called google wallet, they said there is widespread outages affecting many people. So apparently they need the MEID to research the issue
Thank you for getting in touch with our team. Google Wallet is
temporarily unavailable on your device and our engineering team is working
hard to make sure Google Wallet is working as intended. We will be sure to
let you know when full functionality has resumed.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

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 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.

Well, hate to be the roodypooper, but google wallet can and will brick at the slightest touch. I've done it to 2 phones while following directions to a "T".
I know, I know, its like I'm a 59 year old junkie telling a bunch of high schoolers the dangers of drugs. But please be careful and always clear/reset/use Charmin ultra soft toilet paper to wipe gwallet.
Seems that my problems came when flashing new roms. So, don't be a flashaholic on the EVO LTE like u did on the og EVO, if u care about wallet functionality that is. Good luck.

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!
eh there,
So I never really did this before and I searched for info, but came up empty.
I picked up an evo lte off of ebay that is s-off/rooted (and now running meanbean 2.9), it still has the previous users name/number in it
sprint wants me to enter: ##72786## then msl
and reset it, they said it will update with new prl/etc. Well i really don't want to do an OTA and loose my settings.
so is there another way i can do this, will i be fine to do this, or has anyone have experience in doing this before?
thanks.

If you're rooted, then make a backup and restore when done. Those settings are kept.
I made the backup already. I just didn't want to start this process and find out it would relock/s-on the phone some how. I'm just really inexperienced in this area. thanks

It shouldn't do an OTA, they should have only gave you the steps to change whoever's phone number to your own. I don't have all the steps of what u do around but I know you would need to go into something from the dialer and back out their number and enter yours. Then yeah, update prl and profile with what they already told u. I've done this twice when I gave my cuz my past 2 s-off eVos. I think they only gave you part of what needs to be done, the last half. unless your phone already is working under your own number. If that's it then just reset how they said. It won't OTA a rom and you never have to hit install even if an OTA actually downloaded. Never sit there and be one of these people that reads on xda but still takes an OTA.
Swyped from my eVo
i did the update before your reply. but following the steps it just resets identity of the phone, so yours will be loaded ota. There was no updating of the firmware/radios/etc as I was told on the phone. I should've known not to panic, but I like to try to do my research before I try something new. I already called sprint and gave them the new info. (She was nice, but asked me to pull the phone backing off and remove the battery. So I shouldn't have worried about it.)
long story short. phone works and now i'm sifting through a week of messages.
All they want u to do is update the profile and prl. It will do nothing to your rooted status or hurt anything. I would strongly recomend u go into Google wallet and make sure they don't have it set up. If so do a reset on the app. Then u can do a factory reset on the phone to wipe out all the other persons personal info and u can sign into your Google account. As long as u don't do a HTC software update u are not screwing up your root or Rom settings.
