[Q] accidentally uninstalled nfc..

I have the verizon galaxy nexus and i somehow accidentally uninstalled nfc.. Last month i tried installing one of the hacked google wallet ports for the nexus. I installed it through the clockwork recovery, and made sure to make a backup before doing this. That version of google wallet didnt work right, so i just deleted it with root explorer. When i found out that google wallet can now be installed from the market, i immediately downloaded it to try it out, but every time i tried to open it, it would get an error. So i went to my backup and attempted to copy the old nfc files back to the system folder (i/e: NfcGoogle.apk and com.android.nfc_extras.jar), but that failed to work.
So any ideas on how to fix this and get nfc working again?
Im kinda new to android as a whole, this phone is my first smartphone. Im hoping this is a simple fix and i dont have to to a factory restore or anything. My phone is rooted too if that helps, and I still have the google wallet files i intalled too.
The attachment is a screenshot of what my wireless and networks menu looks like.
Any help is appreciated

"Secure Element Not Responding" ?
If that's the case, sorry, you need a new phone.
You shouldn't have installed any hacked Google Wallet in CWM.

It said that when I had the nfc files from the hacked google wallet..but with the old files it just says "unfortunately, wallet has stopped" ..and I know that now, at the time I just found the easiest guide to follow for installing it though.

Damn
Sorry man, you borked NFC.
You might be able to use it again by flashing back to stock images, but you won't be able to use Google Wallet again, that's for sure.
If you can, try to get an exchange

Huh oh well , I guess ill just give up on using nfc..its not too important to me. Its just too bad I won't be able to use a feature of the phone.
@samsuck Maybe I will flash the stock images sometime this weekend and see if that fixes anything..hopefully it will bring back at least some nfc functionality. Oh and I'm pretty sure its too late for me to exchange phones 0.o

He clearly stated what he did, and that he used an old method that caused harm to a lot of phones. That's not it.

I am also having this problem. Just pulled my 16GB model out of the box, took the OTA, and I am in a "need to update" loop.
Other things I've tried:
- Deleting data for the app
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the update
- Clearing cache from recovery
- Flashing the stock ROM (pre-OTA)
Even after backing off to the out of the box ROM, still in an update loop. Took the OTA again and still looping.
I'm new to the Samsung platform and NFC in general but I'm a bit aprehensive about rooting/flashing another ROM at this point because I don't want to brick the secure element. I would assume I am OK since there is no wallet profile (I can't load the app) but I am not sure if anything gets automatically created the first time you launch the app.
I'm about to call Google Wallet support to see if they can offer any advice.
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
Wow, Google support is quick to call back.
The Google Wallet support rep told me that the service is actually down for both the SGS3 and EVO LTE users right now. He had no ETA for when it would return.
I then asked him if I'd brick secure if I updated ROMs right now and he gave me the standard line about rooting is unsupported, etc. When I pressed him, he said the secure element should be fine since I have no profile created yet.
I don't think I'm going to trust him on that though

Can someone pm the like to the google wallet apk or the one the galaxy nexus forum is using?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I rooted then got the update loop, then deleted installed the apk via root brower and still a no go

I'm rooted on stock rom and I still get "google wallet is not yet available." Cleared all wallet data, cashe, and it still doesn't work. Not too happy

[Q] Google Wallet

With the latest update for Google wallet, can I update it thru the market or wait for a modified apk? Also I've seen multiple threads on how to install wallet on the S3. One way being for touchwiz ROMs and another for AOSP ROMs. can anyone point me in the direction for the AOSP install? I've tried with touchwiz and it didn't work with all the threads. So now I wanna see if there's a specific way for AOSP.

my touchwiz version worked great. I am now on AOSP and hopefully can get the newest wallet and tutorial on the install as well....i cant find that specific technique either.

I'm using Paranoid Android ROM which is CM10 based and I followed instruction on this thread to get my Wallet working on my SGIII without any problem.
I also used that thread when I was on TW ROM too... for AOSP based ROM, just don't install the lib&nfc fix

Not all OTA's work with the Google Wallet patch. For example:
I'm still running the very first UVALEM firmware with the OTA UVALH2 Radio/Modem. (I'm rooted, thus I was able to install a different radio)
I choose not to download any firmware update because I like Google Wallet that much, and because I don't care much about the Brightness Slider.

Has anyone found the newest hacked wallet apk? I think it was updated yesterday? also I read that if you want to add cards you have to change your build prop to Galaxy Nexus or HTC jewel, add the cards, reboot, then change the settings back to normal.

I read that the wallet doesn't work on LH2 ROMs. Does that mean I it won't work on my AOKP ROM?

Thats just your baseband. You can change the baseband to whatever you want. When they say it doesnt work on LH2 ROMs they are talking about stock.

It's posted on that section but it shouldn't hurt to try it since you aren't flashing or fiddiling with anything for different devices. All you are doing is just setting the permissions for the app APK. You might also have to change the build prop to the nexus or any device that wallet supports, just in case.

Great, ima try the first one since it already has the latest mod for wallet
Edit: tried the latest wallet and just want to make sure if its suppose to say "unsupported device" on top?

Well if you would have clicked "learn more" you would know that it only says that because you have a rooted device. It doesnt affect the usability of the app at all.

So how did it workout?

I was gonna use it today, but now it says "it's unsupported on my carrier/device" and closes.

This woked for me on Frosty JB
I'm on Frosty JB V5.
Initially I tried the below steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
I was able to get wallet installed and add cards. And then I started getting the "unfortunately, NFC service has stopped" errors whenever I opened the browser, gmail, play store and some other google apps (not all).
Then I reverted back to my nandroid before wallet and tried the below patch
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1921233
Here are the steps that worked for me:
Change build.prop (I used Galaxy Nexus)
Reboot to recovery
Flash the patch JMJellybeanWalletFix.zip
Flash com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.5-r79-v5.zip (from the first link)
Restart. Go to play store, search for google wallet and make sure automatic update is off. Or else it overwrites the app and it doesnt work anymore.
Open wallet, login and add card
restore original build.prop and reboot.
I still havent used it to purchase anything. But atleast I've got the thing up and running.

Thanks I'll check it out and report back
Edit: I'm on codename android and when I change the prop to nexus settings it works, but when I go to back to original it says it's not supported but the carrier/network
any idea why?

Just the gapps. That is what l did and have had no problems. Wipe cache and dalvik first though. Just to be safe.

I've been having the same issue. I downloaded gapps from the above link, but still no love. I seem to get one of two outcomes depending on the wallet versions I install. I'll either get something like "Setting up Wallet. Can take up to 5 mintues" and then it says my device isn't fully initialized OR it'll get past that and then error when adding the card. Anyone found a fix yet? Tried on CM10, AOKP, JellyBeer etc - no luck.

Same issue here. I think its something to do with our hardware. Also if I use the wallet app in the play store everything works but when trying to add card, request failed. I also noticed that about section says Google secure element version not present. A quick search revealed that the "secure element" may have been soft bricked thus causing the request failed error. Further research also shows that it can be fixed by removing your device from wallet using a PC. Then remove app, reflash. I haven't reflashed yet as I have far too many customizations. Someone try this and let me know
I am in aokp and using above gapp package says unable to start wallet device not connected after 5 mins and using wallet from play store doesn't allow me to add cards.

I was getting the same error. I contacted google wallet support through email and after a lot of back and forth, they got it working. I don't know what they did but there is a fix. Here is the response I got from them;
Hello,
I apologize for the delayed response. There have been some new updates in regard to your issue. These steps should help in resolving the
issue. If you have already taken these steps, please do so again. Can you please reset the device? You can do this by navigating to app
Settings > Reset -OR-- by navigating to the Android system Settings >Apps > Wallet and select ‘Clear data'. Then, reset the app by logging
into wallet.google.com/manage, disable your device then set up your
account again.
If this does not solve the issue, please inform us so we can
troubleshoot further.
Now, I have run through these steps probably 30 times, with no success. I flashed back to stock and still nothing. That tells me that they have finally figured it out. Funny thing is I RMA'd my phone and the day that I got notice that my new device has shipped, they got it working. Anyway, thought I'd post for others who have probably been pulling their hair out trying to get a fix for the app. Help is on the way (probably)

I have consulted Google support about the card adding issues this is the official response.
Hello,
Thanks for your email.*I understand that you are having issues adding cards to Google Wallet mobile application on your device.*I can see here that you're experiencing a known bug which prevents your device from being able to add your cards to the Wallet app, which we are actively working on. If you have not already, I recommend resetting the Wallet app and trying again periodically while we attempt to resolve the issue.*
Thanks,

Secondly I responded saying if they can follow up with me should there be any updates on their end she said to keep an eye out on an official wallet update which Google appears to be working on!
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Please look out for version updates as well to the Google Wallet application which may resolve your issue.
If you have any additional questions, please reply to this email and I'll be happy to help.

Now I don't know what's the deal with the gapps included wallet, or the one provided by roman since it won't even initiate but I recommend you guys try the one on play store. That one worked for many people despite having root! Just keep trying every few days! Its good to know that my device isn't hosed.

Well its not AOKP, read google's official response on the message above yours, just need to wait. It appears these issues are affecting lots of Nexus 4 owners as google is aware of it (it is not a rom issue or hardware issue) we just gotta wait until the next wallet update I guess

Trying the search button would be a good start.

i read an article last week (can't find it now though) that said google was making wallet available in the entire US, not just certain carriers. i clicked the play store link in the article and for the first time Wallet showed up in my t-mo play store. i clicked it and it said it was not compatible with my phone.....? i backed out, went back to the article to finish reading it, came back to the play store and google Wallet was gone. can't even find it in a search. weird.
i tried the extensive way to get wallet on the phone, changing the build.prop, and nearly bricked my phone. I am just going to wait for the official app.
