Hey Guys!
This Guide Worked Awesome For Google Wallet Pre-Universal update! ONLY WORKS FOR STOCK ROOTED PHONES!
https://plus.google.com/u/0/108019745978944993252/posts/ZqRXYf7NyBF
BUT When the update Came Around with universal Card-Compatibility etc.
It didnt like the HTC_Jewel Shenanegans anymore,

So When they updated to The new wallet And the Verizon S GS3 Said "Your Device/Carrier isnt comaptible",

I Put up a request to get a SPRINT Galaxy S3 Build.Prop.
So ...Special thanks to 18th.abn Here on XDA For providing his Build.prop File From his SPRINT Galaxy S3 (Which is the only carrier in the US officially supported by Google wallet)...

IF YOU ARE ON A CUSTOM ROM: editing build.prop on cm10, cm9 or AOKP, will make it not boot unless you edit updater-script.

SO THIS GUIDE IS FOR STOCK - ROOTED DEVICES ONLY!

OBVIOUSLY IM NOT LIABLE FOR YOUR PHONE ESPLODING IF IT HAPPENS (mine is fine:

To get the NEW google wallet going on your galaxy S3 VERIZON Do The Following,

COMPLETE THIS WHOLE GUIDE , Must Be STOCK ROM - Rooted, have Root Explorer Already.

https://plus.google.com/u/0/108019745978944993252/posts/ZqRXYf7NyBF

BUT: INSTEAD OF CHANGING THE VALUES TO HTC_Jewel Use THESE VALUES From a Sprint Galaxy S3

ro.product.model=SPH-L710
ro.product.name=d2spr
ro.product.device=d2spr

To be Honest i dont see why i wouldn't leave my build.prop like this.. because sprint doesn't block many/any apps..

Anyway THEN, Restart your phone after saving the Build.prop (it should automatically be backed up by root explorer)

Restart your phone, then go to this link FROM YOUR PHONE, Choose Google Play Install. Enjoy! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel&hl=en

Thanks to 13th.abn and Dustin Evans!

Please put a disclaimer that editing build.prop on cm10, cm9 or AOKP, will make it not boot unless you edit updater-script.

As it stands your guide only works for stock.

NICE!!! This worked flawless!!! Thank you!! I just started using Google Wallet for the first time this week and then THIS update comes out???!!!
This description is perfect. I'm not sure what the repercussions are on having it thing it is a Sprint device but I dont see anything different besides the SPRINT CARRIER "Choose the best connection speed" message that came up on first boot. It doesnt seem to affect anything. I imagine 4G will still work, I only have 3G at home but I'll find out for sure tomorrow.

Thanks again for taking your time and getting this figured out.

Sorry for the double post. I just wanted to mention if anyone is else wondering, it does NOT give the unsupported device message at the top. Almost like it is SUPPOSED to be on it.

Weird, mine showed "unsupported device" even after I activated the wallet and set it up.

Edit: figured it out, apparently Google doesn't like when you root and have wallet together so that's why it shows up, all is good!

Can I delete the modified build.prop after the install is finish?

Sent from my Sph-l710 using xda app-developers app

Actually after rebooting a second time, I then had the UNSUPPORTED DEVICE message. I used it yesterday morning and it worked, but it said to check and make sure it went through. It was acting weird, so I uninstalled the update, replaced the original build.prop, rebooted, and followed the updated instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1794727. Now I am back to the original build.prop, no unsupported device message, and it works normal again.

Hope this helps! Just make sure and followed the update they posted to a T regarding the new Wallet update.

Can anyone help?I'm having a problem installing this...I did everything it said to do
, but for some reason in the Market still says that I can not install this due to my carrier. I can open the app that I got when I flashed the file, but the Google pre paid card doesn't work. Someone help please!

I too get an "this item is unavailable in your country or by your carrier" message after following the instructions in this thread. When rebooting after changing build.prop to the Sprint values, I got a dialog asking for permission to use Sprint's auto-network select feature; however when opening the link in Google Play, it still seems to think I am on verzion.

Edit: I opened the older version of Wallet, authorized it again, and then was able to update.

At the top of my app, it says "unsupported device. Learn more. " and also I can not get the Google prepaid card to work. I followed the instruction perfectly and I'm on the latest update.

just so everyone knows, the "unsupported device" message is not something to fret about. it happens on rooted devices on the unmodified (read:eek:fficial) Wallet apk, all functionality if intact.

From the discussions and responses, it seems that it has worked out great for most of the users. I guess I am going to go through it as I am always keen to experience these kind of trials. Thanks for sharing.

    I've been using it on synergy for a couple of weeks. I used the nexus hack. This should work the same though.

    Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

    I swear I switched my buildprop back but my signature is saying different:eek:
