Bricked google wallet symptom? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

How can you tell if you bricked google wallet? I did flash without resetting, but it seems to load fine and shows a balance. Will it just not work at the point of sale if its bricked? Or will it actually tell me when I load it or turn on the chip in the settings?

if it is bricked when you start google wallet it should say nfc error or something
wallet wont even turn on unless the nfc chip is on in settings as well

You'll get a message that says "the secure element is not responding" when you start up Google wallet. If you're able to get in and access your account you should be okay!

Phew!

These are two different messages I am seeing.
Any ideas?
Called Google Wallet. Phone not bricked, may be a problem with app itself.

That got me past the first problem. Now I'm stuck at the initializing screen. Before this update it would open and I had a $10.00 credit. It just stated it was unsecured...

the servers are down, have been down, for most of the ppl that said it was working, when they actually tried to use it, it didn't work, I just thought this update was going to fix it, guess we have to wait for another one...
phone is stuck in Activating account. Is everyone having this issue too?

yeah everyone, google servers are down...
Also, when I tried to purchase something (already activated and cards added.) It said there was an error and closed. Didn't force close though.
Check Me Out On The Google Play Store!!!

Anyone else refraining from flashing ROMsof Wallet?

I really want to flash a few roms. I didn't get to try out but one Rom before the unsupported message became active. I feel kinda stuck until google changes something.
I'm sure others have refrained from flashing too to keep their secure element working, yea?
Wish I had cleared out my google information from wallet before this happened back around the 15th of the month wasn't it?

Are you rooted? Because if you are, just do the google wallet fix to reset wallet, and you should be okay with flashing other ROMs.
Doesn't work. They blocked the fix.

According to android police wallet is fixed

Google wallet?

Why do u need to clear Google wallet when flashing roms and restoring back ups? And how do u clear it?
Sent from my Rooted, LazyPanda S-Off, White "Destroy Mode" Evo
Go into wallet setting to clear the app. It will reset the secure element chip. If u don't the secure element could think a flash is someone trying to hack it and it will destroy itself. NFC will work for tags and between phone but not for payments. To fix this you need to get a new phone or send it in for warranty repair.
Again clear data through the settings menu in the app before any data wipes!

Yes I too am also receiving the "unsupported device" message. It has to do with root access and super user. There is another thread where some users are saying that g wallet still functions properly. But I don't know if that has been proven or not.

I get the error as well, and then it kicks me out. How do I get it to let me in after the error?

I still have full access to Google wallet mine just has a little banner at the top that says "unsupported device"
Sent from my Rooted, LazyPanda S-Off, White "Destroy Mode" Evo
I just installed the update. Although I am rooted, Wallet would run and show my $10. After the update, it tells me both my device and carrier are not yet supported!
Going to try clearing data and rebooting.

Oh, that's rich!
Rebooting didn't work.
Also, I updated the app on my Nexus 7 and I get the same message on that! Its not yet supported on my device. And yet wasn't the update partially for the Nexus 7?
Way to get everyone using your app to pay with.

There's an app in the app store to called "hide my root" that allows us to hide the binary so u can still use Google wallet. But it potentially removes your root somehow. Sometimes

I just tried to set mine up for the first time and I'm getting the same message. I'm not rooted but I do have mine on Verizon Prepaid...I thought maybe that had something to do with it but apparently not.
Resetting Google wallet doesn't guarantee you won't brick your NFC chip. Plenty of ppl have gotten the secure element warning after resetting/clearing. Also a good amount including myself have never reset or cleared wallet before flashing. Mine works fine so I'm never gonna touch wallet before flashing

Multi-boot and Wallet issue

So I know that to avoid the "secure element" issue with Google Wallet, it's best to reset it before flashing a new ROM. What about using a program such as Boot Manager to boot between different ROMs? I usually keep a stock rooted ROM on the phone, and use Boot Manager to store multiple ROMs on the SD card and boot into them for various purposes, like an AOSP to use Wii/PS3 controller for emulators.
Would booting between the two ROMs be ok as long as I don't install Wallet on the other ROMs, or would it still break it even if I didn't install Wallet on the other ROMs? Has anyone tried this, or have any insight? I'd like to be able to use Boot Manager to experiment with some of the other ROMs out there, but I don't want to break Wallet.
Secure element from wallet is no longer an iishe. Google fixed where the data goes

Can OP please confirm that theres no issues?
Secure element was used to store cc credentials and was verified with some sort of certificate. All sensitive information is now stored in wallet cloud servers, now it uses a virtual masterdcard and a unique key generated at the time of purchase. The key is used on a purchase and a new passkey is generated
Does Boot Manager work with the evo lye. I thought I read somewhere that it does not.

Me too! Looks like we will never get it as development has been abandoned.
Tried contacting them but never get a response. It's a shame too. Great app. Paid for it back in the day and can't use it anymore.

NFC and Google wallet?

It states it has NFC, but will it be able to use Google wallet. I know Verizon doesn't want users to have or use Google wallet, however haven't seen anything addressing this. It it will be able to do Google wallet, this WILL be my next phone.

it been asked in a couple of threads, and currently you can download the google wallet app, but when you try to use it it pops up with an error about it not being supported your device or mobile network
I currently have the nexus, and mine says unsupported, but still works. I guess I will order the phone and see what I can do.

hopefully the wonderful devs can get it to work, since currently that pops up right after you try to launch the app. it doesnt even go into the app
No verizon does not support google wallet. Currently sprint is only one with google voice and wallet. I have the evo lte and yeah i do have wallet but the damn thing is a pain in the azz to deal with if you flash alot. You have to flash it seperately and wipe it clean after every flash and reset it up everytime. Everytime you flash a rom you will have to reset up card info name addy etc. I quit using it isnt worth the time or hassle.

I dunno though i get the same unsupported message with my evo on sprint being rooted. Not many places take it anyhow and it really doesnt save much time. Ive found that many places there end is messed up. This is definately something that is something that makes no difference to me if it has it or not. I have it and dont think ive used it in over a month.

Another EVOLTE user here, I believe that the need to wipe gWallet settings between flashes has been resolved and no longer needed FWIW....
Just stopped by Verizon and Google wallet is a supported app in play store. Amazing!!

But that alone means nothing. Wallet is still is not supported on Verizon and it is sounding like we'll need a modified version to side-load for Wallet to work.
Yeah, I tried to install it from the play store. It opens then tells me the device/network is not supported and quits. Such a shame. F'in Verizon...
