For people in the UK asking how they can top up the card, you could try using this service - http://www.usunlocked.com/how_it_works.php?topic=USUnlockedCard

I remember seeing it on Paul O Brien's forum post on how to access the US-only Amazon App Store. You can top it up with your UK card I think, and it gives you a Discover card number to use (which is American), so you could top up the prepaid Google card.

I haven't actually used it though so not sure how good it is. I reckon it would work though!

Wallet setup

took a few tries editing the xml file to get it to work but i was able to install from zip without having to reflash a rom and it's working great. Thanks!

If I login to Google Wallet online, it shows me all my Google Checkout purchases and the card assigned to my account. Take it you still need to add it in Wallet?

The only way I see that working is if Google release it.

You need to either flash this after doing a wipe or by modifying.

The only was I can see you managing to do this is if you unlock the bootloader (which will wipe your phone anyway), then boot into CWM (not flash) and then install the zip.

Then when you reboot your phone, CWM will be gone and you should get a stock ROM with Wallet installed.

No idea if that would work though

This is my first nexus. How does Google handle updates to oem unlocked devices? If I do all this I'm assuming I won't get updates pushed to me since I'm going to flash CWM recovery?

If you're on the stock rom but you've rooted it, you will still see the updates. If you apply the updates then you will no doubt loose root.

If you flash a custom rom, the developer usually disables the update function and releases the update in a new version of their rom

Any insight on working on an existing ROM, wiped cache and placed the modifed XML file and getting FC's from Wallet (even before wallet is opened)

EDIT: Reinstalling the first post .zip from CW Recovery AFTER placing the edited packages.xml file made Wallet work on reboot!

As evostance suggested do a CW recovery backup

Make sure you edit the packages.xml file and wipe Cache

You MAY have to reflash the zip file for Google Wallet again after editing the packages.xmls if you get Force closes on wallet. (See first post in thread)

Working on an easier install method. Will obviously require root but watch this space.

Define actual purchase. Most of us have bought things under 10 dollars because we're in the UK and can't top up.

I just meant using it at an actual retailer. So if it works that's awesome! I didn't wanna look like a douche going into McDonald's and having it force close when I try and buy my McFlurry. lol

Did any of you use Wallet on a Nexus S?

I had been using it, and I had added $25 of my own funds back then, bought something, and I had like $23 left in my wallet.

I did successfully get this Wallet working on my Galaxy Nexus (thank you!!!) but when I added the Google pre-paid, it gave me a new card (the last 4 digits are different than what I had prior) and I just have the $10 for signing up.

I'm guessing it's also tied somehow to hardware?

yeah I think it's tied up to the hardware somehow...I gave my nexus s to my wife and when she activated the wallet with her account she received the funds I had left...about $12...now on my galaxy nexus I'm still trying to get it working so I don't know yet if I'll get a new card or not, but it surely looks like...:)


yeap...decided to wipe everything...re-flashed rom and wallet...it's working now and indeed I got a new card w/ $10

Sounds like it uses the com.google.android.apps.wallet.imei.PseudoImeiProvider for something, then...

Hi

I've followed the instructions in the first post, but I'm still getting the Insufficient Privileges. I'm using a Galaxy Nexus with MCR Ir4.

I have tried

flashing the zip and editing packages.xml
re-flashing rom and then the zip
re-flashing rom, the zip and editing packages.xml
wiping cache, re-flashing rom, the zip and editing packages.xml

I don't really want to do a factory reset, so any other suggestions on how to get this to work would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andrew

What I did was nandroid backup and back up apps and data SMS etc, wipe phone (except SD) flash from and stay in cwm then flash wallet then reboot. Then simply restore your stuff with titanium or similar. No problems for me yet but not tried to purchase anything as of yet .

    Google Wallet Prepaid Card Provisioning RE-ENABLED as of 09/03/2012!

    Read me first!
    Please use the APK method below, or attempt to install Google Wallet from the Play Store/Shop - note that the old browser trick appears to not be working since the Google Play branding appeared.

    Please star this Android issue to draw attention to it! Thanks!

    MoDaCo Custom Patched APK Allows easy use with all devices

    This allows easy use and I'm currently using this too!

    See Paul's thread over at MoDaCo for more info: http://www.modaco.com/topic/354635-region-device-root-patched-google-wallet-apk-11-r63-v12/

    Download the patched APK here - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: 34d6d1afe316df8fca9d7aaad02431ce
    This APK must be installed by putting it inside /system/app and NOT by installing it manually.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Google Play Store (more up to date! recommended!)
    Google Wallet can be found on the Google Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel

    chart


    APK method
    Prerequisites
    You need:

    General Instructions
    1. Pull down the notification bar and hit the settings icon next to the date. Then choose "About phone" at the bottom. If "Android version" is NOT listed as "4.0.2", "4.0.3" or "4.0.4", you need to update to a new version. Do that before continuing.

    Now, what needs to happen next depends on where you are:
    I'm not in the US!
    If you're NOT in the US, you'll need to be rooted. Grab Market Enabler from the Android Market and install it.
    Run Market Enabler and set yourself as "US T-Mobile".
    Now follow the US instructions.

    I'm in the US!
    Open the Wallet APK on your phone e.g. using ASTRO/File Expert/Root Explorer/the download manager.
    Now just open Wallet, and it should correctly authorise.

    Troubleshooting
    Help! Google Wallet says "Unsupported Device!"
    This means that you're on a rooted device, and is perfectly normal. Transactions will still work - it's just Google's way of letting you know that you may be less secure than you would be normally, as rooted apps will be able to access Google Wallet internal files. Be vigilant when approving root access!

    Secure Element not responding!
    If you have a Nandroid backup of a version of Wallet that worked, try restoring to that. Otherwise, you're screwed unless you get a new device. The Secure Element in your phone has now locked you out.

    EDIT: research seems to show that Android is not actually enabling NFC-EE, which might be why it can't communicate with the SE. This needs further research.

    To try to avoid this, before flashing a new ROM please, please, PLEASE: open Google Wallet. Open the Wallet Settings menu. Select "Reset Google Wallet" from within the app. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS SELECTING "CLEAR DATA" FROM WITHIN MANAGE APPS!
    The Google Wallet reset system will disable it's background services, reset the secure element by deleting the Google Wallet applet (which is what you want!), clear the database, ping C2DM that it is now deprovisioning, clear the shared preferences, clear files and cache, and finally shut itself down. Clearing data from Manage Apps will only delete the database and shared preferences: it will not deprovision, disable background services, and most importantly will not remove the Wallet applet from the secure element.


    Insufficient Privileges. Insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)
    Err, what? This should only occur if you previously used the ZIP method. If so, you'll need to manually restore the old versions of the files.
    This can be achieved by either restoring a Nandroid backup from before you flashed OR by following instructions in this post.

    I have something not answered here!
    Post in this topic and it'll probably get answered pretty quickly.

    I restored a backup and Wallet isn't working
    Try uninstalling then reinstalling the APK. This should get the SE back in sync with the Wallet status.

    Changelog
    09/05/2012
    APK updated to 1.1-R57v5 from my device for those who still can't get it on the Store. Sorry for the slow update - it's exam season in the UK!

    02/05/2012
    Added note about Google Play Store. I'll update the APK soon, but I recommend using the store - seems that Wallet is even appearing for me in the UK now.

    09/03/2012
    Prepaid card provisioning is reenabled! Go use your Wallet again!
    Fixed links.
    Removed ZIP method entirely.
    Mentioned Market method, need to write up instructions.
    Added unsupported device banner note.

    02/01/2012
    Added some information that should hopefully avoid people getting hit by the Secure Element issue, and a link to the AOSP issue tracker issue.

    18/12/2011
    Removed old ZIP method. APK should work for most people.
    Rewrote OP from scratch.

    ICL53F 4.0.2 STANDARD APK works!

    The standard Google APK works on ICL53F / 4.0.2

    Just tested this ; NO FC's - No errors on provisioning card, etc.

    This was pulled off by another user, I MD5'd it to the version I got from a Sprint Nexus S

    MD5: 3729ced6fbee0c8c642fe074e893846f

    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GQ6YS0KM

    NOTE: I installed this on ICL53F CLEAN install with NO older Wallet ever present. I did NOT wipe or do anything else. So as long as Wallet was NEVER installed on your /system partition or you didn't replaced NFC files this should just work out of the box. If you ever did any of the above get a clean ICL53F installed FIRST (root or no root, doesn't matter) [mine was rooted but a friend got it working no root]

    Wallet PIN Vulnerability

    I am finally able to disclose a major vulnerability I found in Google Wallet. Basically, I am able to uncover your PIN without a single invalid attempt.

    Please see below for our press release, detailed blog posting, demonstration app and source code.

    Feel free to ask me any questions or report any issues.

    The app is also able to give you some useful information about the state of your secure element. This may be helpful for people with SE issues.
