[APP] Google Wallet (APK: 1.1-R57v5, Play Store: 1.1-R57v5) [09/03/2012]

[dp917]

I don't know when this started, but now all my cards show an "unexpected error" message. Last time I know it worked was October 7. I see there was an update on October 3, I'm not sure which version I was on October 7.

The Nexus4 system dump has a new wallet.apk. I was able to update my wallet with it but I still have the problem of "unexpected error."

Version no longer supported

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.

When I try to open wallet, I get the message "This version of google wallet is no longer supported. Please download the latest version from the android market." Then it takes me right to the market. I cant get into the app to reset it. I have version 1.1-R57v5.

Anyone had this issue and installed modaco with success without resetting? Or anyone know of another way to reset? Does uninstalling reset the secure element?

Thanks

I believe the secure element is no longer used, thank goodness. What an abortion that was. To be safe, go into settings and click "reset google wallet". Then uninstall.

How did you come to that conclusion?
I am still getting the secure element error with it.

Secure Element is now only used for Google's Prepaid Card (which has since been eliminated) and some Citi MasterCards. It seems they've moved away from it. Does Google Wallet not work at all on your device? If Google Wallet doesn't use Secure Element, it'd probably be beneficial if they removed the error.

How does Google Wallet protect my payment credentials?
Google Wallet stores your credit and debit cards online on secure servers. Your Google Wallet device has a chip called the Secure Element that stores encrypted payment card information. Linked credit or debit card credentials are not stored on the Secure Element -- rather, the virtual prepaid MasterCard card created during setup is stored on the Secure Element, and Google Wallet does not pass credit or debit card credentials you store online to the merchant. Credentials for the Google Prepaid Card and some Citi MasterCard cards are stored on the Secure Element and passed directly to the merchant. The Secure Element is isolated from your phone’s main operating system and hardware. Additionally, because Google Wallet enforces a PIN, the only way to transmit payment credentials is if you first enter the PIN. Your phone’s screen must also be on.

I bought GNex to use the wallet and did use it once at McDonald.
After that I messed up the secure element by flashing a ROM and that was the end of it. I wasted a lot of time trying things to fix, but nothing ever worked.

The secure element is still used for Google wallet and it even says so in the quote from Google in post above.
Your cards are no longer stored on the secure element however the virtual MasterCard (not the prepaid card) that is linked to your cards is stored on the secure element. When you make a payment the merchant always gets the number from your virtual MasterCard. Google pays the transaction for you and then instantly charges the card that you have selected to use.

For those active ROM flashers like myself, installing GW as a system apps creates a challenge/hassle. From my research of several sources, here's how I am using GW in user app partition on an AOSP ROM like AOKP or CM10.

Recommended app for ease of build.prop editing and backup/restore: ROM Toolbox

1) Make a nandroid backup in case you mess things up.
2) Use ROM Toolbox and create two backups of build.prop
3) Use a file manager (or ROM Toolbox root browser) and rename the two build.prop backups. These are at /sdcard/romtoolbox/build.prop-backups. Do not rename the last part of these files or Rom Toolbox will fc. If it's messed up, just delete all those backups and start over.
I renamed mine as below:
aokpjb.m1.gnex.11-14-2012-18-43-12_system_build.prop
aokpjb.m1.org.11-14-2012-18-43-12_system_build.prop
4) Now open up Rom Toolbox build.prop editor and open the gnex build.prop backup. Change the values to Gnex as stated in OP. Exit to save it.
5) Restore it so that it's applied to your system build.prop
6) Reboot
7) Go to the PlayStore, search for Google Wallet, you should be able to see it and install.
8) Open GW, and proceed with setting up, add credit card(s), set PIN, etc... Make sure everything goes well and you are able to add credit cards ok.
9) Now restore the original build.prop backup.
10) Reboot

From now on, every time you need to use GW, just restore the gnex build.prop and reboot. Restore the original build.prop and reboot when you're done with GW.

Every time you flash updated ROM build, wipe cache/dalvik like normal. As long as you don't full wipe, GW is still there and working. Be sure to make new backup of build.props as most likely it's changed with updated build.

If you plan on full wipe, you must go into GW and reset it first or you will bork the secure element.

If this happens, is there a fix? One day my Wallet stopped working and said to reset and now my cards won't get setup, I just get a "unknown error" message. I have reset, wiped app data and cache, uninstalled, re-installed and re-setup but nothing works. I never got the actual secure element error though.

SE error is irreversible as I understand. Maybe try contacting Google Wallet support, if there is such a thing. Hope you can fix your issue.

The wallet will be able to operate on only after full initiation device. Make sure that your phone has access to the network, and if the problem persists, restart your device

this up is google translated below is polish orginal text

Portfel będzie mógł działać dalej dopiero po pełnym zainicjowaniu urządzenia. Upewnij się, że telefon ma dostęp do sieci, a jeśli problem nie ustąpi, ponownie uruchom urządzenie
