I was one of the first people to install Google Wallet on their Nexus. I live in London, but at the time, Wallet worked perfectly. I purchased McDonald's food on two separate occasions using the free $10 from Google. This was all on ITL14F firmware.
I then decided to reflash my firmware, so that I could cleanly update to ITL14D via OTA. After this, I tried flashing the Google Wallet zip with CWM again. Everything seemed to work fine, until I tried to re-add my Google Prepaid card. Ever since, I simply get 'error adding card' when trying to add the Google prepaid card. This happens even if I flash back to ITL14F or update to 4.0.2 using the clean APK.
There seems to be at least one other person on XDA with this problem. Is there a solution? It's possible that it's now a hardware issue, and that perhaps Google have blocked my phone's IMEI/NFC chip - I've tried adding cards with two different Google accounts, but I get the same error. But it's difficult to confirm this, since Google's customer services have always sucked so hard. Wallet still shows the cross-border $0.02 fees for the purchases, but not the actual purchases like it used to.
I just checked my Google account settings and under my Android devices I noticed that "com.android.nfc3" is backed up by Google on my Nexus. Could this be the issue?
I have a nandroid backup of my system prior to first installing Google Wallet on ITL14F. Could I extract 'com.android.nfc3' and put it into my current firmware?
Your in london. That's the issue

I have the same problem. I've flashed back to other ROMs and tried pre TI restore and post. Done it through with ME set to TMobile and connected through WiFi on my US IP router. I'm thinking about trying to add a Prepayed MC to see if that will work.
Might toss in my TMobile Sim at some point as well to see if that helps.
So what is the score with Google Wallet app use in the UK? I know its not supported on the nexus anywhere in the world and the app is not supported in the uk on any phone but what i really want to know is...
1) can you add funds to the prepaid card?
2) where can you use it?
3) Is there likely to be a permanent problem with the phones getting blacklisted if indeed that is whats happening with people who can no longer get the app to work.
Currently i have it running using the market enabler and apk method but have since read reports of some secure chip outside the control of the os which may be preventing people using the app. I dont want to find out that once GW is officially supported on the GN in the UK that i can no longer use it. I was also hoping to flash some roms but sounds like that might be dodgy too.
Google Walltet Problem
Well I added my google wallter applicated on my phone yesterday. I set it up, I added google prepaird card, I got the 10 dollars on it and then that evening I unlocked my phone which wiped everything of my phone. I re-installed the application and when I go to add the google prepaid card, it says error adding card.
Is there anyway to fix this?
same issue
i am having the same issue i installed via the flash method and used it at a local walgreens went through then it forced closed. i flash a new rom tried to add card again it would hand on adding card. i uninstalled reflashed back to stock and tried it with the app that requires no flash still the same thing. i even tried with a new google account and still the same thing. And i live in usa with cdma nexus

i think i figured it out i was having the same problem i did the steps in the adb shell to remove it but did not re-add it. then returned back to stock(4.0.1), locked bootloader. unlocked boot loader booted up 4.0.1 updated to 4.0.2 then i unlocked boot loader rooted and added wallet.apk from post on here it hung on adding card for about 5 mins the next time i check it was working again. google wallet looks like it will not work on non stock roms. any questions pm me

same boat. wallet was working fine. updated radios which updated the bootloader to. changed roms. went to install wallet again. activation went fine. went to add google prepaid card and said error adding card, please try back later. sure hope there is a fix to this.
Same here.
Luckily it hasn't locked me out of NFC yet.
I called and talked to two people so far over at Citi. They tried to reset it on their end or something, not really sure.
I was told to reset in the app via the menu in wallet and I've done that multiple times and nothing has happened. They told me they would get in contact with the same person whom I talked to the first time and they'll contact Phil. So I'll give an update when I hear something.

Are you guys rooted?
I was on the phone with Citi last night and she told me that Google's servers were telling Citi that it's an insecure device so it won't work. So she told me to try and unrooting it and putting it back to stock to see if it works. Oddly I did that and it hasn't worked yet.
Not at least no NFC errors yet.

I've been fretting about this for far too long and I want my question laid to rest for once and for all.
I am running stock 4.0.2 rooted and boot loader unlocked. I want to install the google wallet apk without worrying about it messing up and giving me the secure element error. Can someone please aid a fellow ever-worrying flasher?
And yes, I have a backup to rely on.

There's no guarantees. Essentially to be absolutely safe you need to wait until Google releases something official.
The error occurs after installing another rom with a wipe or after a factory reset. The theory is to make sure to press reset within Google Wallet so that it deletes the info off the Secure Element's memory. This is still just a theory, no guarantee..
You should watch the main thread for the most up to date info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365360
To add to Royal2000H:
Even if you reset Google Wallet from within the app, it will still re-initialise the secure element. There's an ADB shell command that will reset it properly.

You need to download and install the Android SDK (software development kit). The ADB (Android device bridge) drivers and software are included with it. Sorry I don't have a link handy for you, maybe in the morning if someone else hasn't posted one.

perhaps make a backup then of your working ROM. cause i believe if you wipe or switch ROMs something happens that resets the NFC hardware and you may lose ability to use it again. i'm not totally sure of the details exactly though.
I have another experience to add to this thread.
Today my phone got stuck on the boot animation so I reloaded my current 4.03 ROM. When the device booted up after flashing the gapps.zip I tried using my NFC for a tag but it wouldn't work. Additionally, trying to access the "more..." settings menu froze the settings program.
At this point I tried multiple ROMS etc and had no luck getting my NFC to work until I restored my nandroid backup from long before wallet, the first day I got the phone.
I then flashed back to my 4.03 ROM and everything works fine until the Gapps.zip adds wallet which breaks the NFC again. Removing wallet from the .zip makes everything ok but there is apparently no way for me to get wallet working again. I tried the ADB command and everything, but whenever I reinstall wallet wallet itself just opens to a black screen that is frozen and it destroys my NFC(plus the settings freeze)
Is there anything else I can try? Is my secure element bricked forever(meaning I should exchange)? Or should I hold on until google releases an official .apk?
Thanks for posing the question
I actually, using a link from here, installed Google Wallet and It is working just fine for me but my phone is stock rom and unrooted (LTE Edition), So I'll be paying close attention to this thread because I might decide to root this phone in the future.
Well the title is pretty self explanatory.
I forgot to reset google wallet before wiping my device from ICS 4.0.4 where it was working 100%
Wipe, flashed a JB based ROM with some mods (Made by ...Awesome...)
let Google Wallet update, been stuck at initializing
I tried force-restoring my Titanium Backup version
I tried force closing, wiping the app's data
Rebooting causes the wallet to open automatically and reinitialize forever.
What else can I start doing to get this to work?
Thanks!
Did you do a nandroid backup before flashing JB? If so, restore that, reset wallet, then reflash JB.

The same thing happened to me. I tried to reset wallet before flashing a new rom, but it hung at the 2nd to last progress step. After rebooting, it acted like it reset, so I flashed a new rom. Since then, it hasn't worked. I restored a Nandroid and tried resetting again, only to have it hang again. Not much I can do since I'm on Verizon and it's not supported. I've just given up at this point. It must be something with the secure element. I'm just glad I only had a dollar left on it lol.

If you get a secure element, you're pretty much SOL. I don't recall a fix ever being released by devs nor Google as it seems to be a hardware problem (you've been locked out of it). To be able to reuse GW you'll have to buy a new phone.

I've noticed a wipe zip package in the Android RevolutionHD Thread, "Super Wipe Lite"...
I personally don't like these as a result of a couple bad experiences where one wiped my recovery and semi-bricked a device. I'd just wipe through recovery.

Yeah, I haven't seen a secure element error in a logcat or from the wallet app, but I'm guessing mines broke. The thing that makes me mad is I was trying to reset wallet, but the app froze and would not finish (phone was still responding). This was on a stock rooted ROM as well. I guess I'll just have to stick to the RFID in my credit cards if I really feel like using a tap to pay (or my Nexus 7 in a month ).
I do wonder what it means for other apps that may eventually utilize the secure element. Is it just locked out for google wallet or all apps?
How does google wallet work in JB? I'm in Canada and want to use the market enabler with google wallet, but after installing both apk from an explorer, the wallet app doesnt show up.
Same here. Wallet works with marketaccess (better than enabler IMO) on ICS but wallet wouldn't show up on Jellybean.
Does anyone know if its possible to reset google wallet without being able to sign into the app?
I accidently flashed another rom without resetting GW
But I restored my previous rom where it was working before I tried to actually set up GW on the new rom
Im not getting any secure element errors the app just stays on activating account forever..
If anyone knows a way to safely clear out all the data so I can try it out on a new rom id appreciate it..

Well your kind of lucky right now but who knows what will happen when account activates. Dude i just backed a rom up on my gnex (didnt erase no data or nothing) and when i went into wallet as soon as i got in before even activating accnt i got the secure element error. If u get the " secure element not responding " error u need a new device to use wallet or a new motherboard. when u go into the app and hit menu on your phone then go to settings. See if u can reset there
Edit...and also resetting app data will not do anything it has to be reset from inside app
What would be proper procedure before you flash a new rom at all??
From what I understand first you remove all the cards in your Google Wallet than in Settings -> Reset wallet??
Would it be smart to clear cache (etc) through the settings -> Applications??
What I did was Delete The Google Wallet APK from /system/app folder then reinstalled it. Worked fine after that. Good Luck..

Yes but u got lucky you are playing with fire the way your supposed to do it is go into google wallet then hit menu on your phone. Go to settings then scroll down to reset google wallet. This will take down all your cards and every other piece of data in the money network. Thn after its done u will see the app is totally reset like how it looks when u first downloaded it. Now is when u can flash a new rom
I have been searching and i havent found anything
so i have the ATT s3, i rooted before and got wallet working. Even purchased many thing with it. Today I decide to unroot my phone to take in the OTA update from ATT. i did that and then i rooted again. I was trying to see if all my app works, so without thinking i open up wallet. It gave me some errors. so i went and reflash wallet to the newest file. And now the wallet icon is grayed, and it has a sd card mini logo next to it. when i click on it, it said " application not installed." I installed it many times over and still the same. i am not sure what to do.. i have been looking, seems like no one is having this problem.
please help
i got the icon back working but still say "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)"

You need to install the nfc libraries, there is a link somewhere, search for wallet threads.
OP - YMMV. You can wipe data/system/cache/dalvik and then install your rom and everything should be fine. I did the same thing before and hunted around and it seems that not resetting wallet does not lead to secure element breaking. Again YMMV.
i just fixed it. ( for the insufficient error)
so i flashed to stock, ota updated, then restore to factory.
Root the device, installed super user, updated super user
installed root manager
change you build.prop
flash newest hacked google wallet
activate google wallet account
change you build.prop back to factory.. all my cards are there except for the prepaid.
i dont if it works.. so i will update if it would.

I tried to fix the google play store error by using the steps provided online (that seemed to work for most people) and now my phone will not boot past the initial galaxy screen. The screen goes blank and then I see a solid blue LED light at the top left of the phone.
I would like to know if backing up files at this point is possible, because I'm assuming the only true fix is a factory reset.
I was told that android has a built in fail-safe that would still allow me to access the files through a PC via USB. That has not worked for me. My computer shows nothing. I wonder if there is a way to reinstall just the android operating system (much like you would do with a windows pc) so that no files are erased and just the OS is reinstalled.
I've tried booting in safe mode, tapping the menu button doesn't do anything.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated. I'm ok with performing a factory reset, I'd just like to back up images and audio files before doing so.
Thanks

What play store error were you trying to fix and what exactly did you do to try and fix it?
It sure sounds like you've managed to wipe the internal memory clean. If so your only hope is to use Odin to restore it back to stock. If it works it'll work great but you will lose everything on the phone. Though again it really sounds like you have nothing on the phone.
The only other thing to try would be using Odin to flash a recovery. Then boot into recovery and see if you can back up the data partition. If that works you can use the recovery to reinstall a ROM.
Do people not do nandroid backup anymore?
☞ Sent from here☜???
The error I kept getting said "insufficient storage space available."
I had over 3 gigs of space left on my phone's internal memory.
I tried all of the obvious stuff before even seeking help online (clearing cache, making sure the system memory wasnt taken up).
Anytime my phone would attempt to update an app it would fail and remove the app entirely. Amazon Mobile was the first to go. It's only a 5Mb app and it said I didn't have enough storage space...yet I could download a 100Mb app I didn't already have and it would work fine.
I tried online suggestions like removing my google account from my phone, reverting the app store back to the stock version, re-adding the google account, then rebooting, and then my phone stopped working.
I'm pretty sure I know exactly what caused my phone not to be able to boot anymore though. Some people online had success using a google play store market fix app that is on the play store itself (not some sketchy site no one's ever heard of). I tried that, then when I rebooted it seems like my phone was bricked. A lot of people had said that app worked for their GS4's.
Any suggestions? I wish I could just reinstall android, get the files, then restore to factory conditions (if necessary).
I still have no idea what this problem is that you were trying to fix. I have never heard of this.
Still, using Odin to restore your phone to stock will work. Just flash the .tar file in Odin and it will be like you just took the phone out of the box.

I wanna help you. I really do. But I can't do anything without knowing the step by step details of what you did to get to this point.
Without that info there is no way to help you back out of thsi without a full wipe. So you are stuck with using Odin to do a full restore.

The step by step details of what I did are a couple posts back (I tried online suggestions like removing my google account from my phone, reverting the app store back to the stock version, re-adding the google account, then rebooting, and then my phone stopped working).
After that I tried a couple of the apps on the google play store that are supposed to be 1 click fixes for the google play store update error. That was my mistake. A lot of people had success with those 1 click fixes, but thats what I believe bricked my phone. I would tell you which app specifically but I can't access my phone (obviously) and they won't come up on the PC version of Google Play search.

I just gave up and wiped all data. I gotta have a working phone for work tomorrow. Trying to download the stock firmware for a full restore. It's taking FOREVER.
Revert to stock : Complete
Hate that I lost everything, but I shoulda been more responsible with backup in the first place. I am with my computers, typically am with my phone, but I was foolish enough to wait until I could get a great deal on a high capacity micro SD card...silly silly me.
Hey everyone!
As title mentions, I am stuck on 2-step verification after updating to Android O. I'm clicking the automatic link but nothing happens (Even after waiting 15 minutes). No automatic SMS is getting thru. I've thought about disabling 2-step verification but logging to the GMail account requires access to the phone (Which is not working because it's stuck on 2-step verification).
I've reached Google via the recovery email but it says 3-5 days for an answer and I think 3-5 days without a phone is definetaly impossible for me.
Anyone managed to fix the problem ? I'm thinking it's a problem with the radio but I've got nothing to start from...
Had the same issue when installing July PN build. Had this sorted out by putting sim card into another phone and receiving sms there. Then put sim card back into pixel.
Are you signed in anywhere else. You can get a one time use code via your account settings, or disable it, or add a backup phone number.
