Sprint Google Wallet and Root?

Has anyone who rooted and flashed a ROM gotten the extra $40 in Google Wallet from Sprint yet? I was just wondering before I flash a ROM if I will still be able to get it. Also has anyone had the problem with the secure element committing suicide?

My secure element committed suicide, then rose again on the third day.

You would think Google would...
You would think Google would include a utility that would reinitialize the secure element when needed. Nothing to access the contents but just erase everything and format it like new. But, it would probably leave an open door for access somehow.

So no one who rooted get the money yet? That was one of the main reasons I bought this phone was so that I could get the extra $50. I don't want to lose it just because I flashed a ROM.

I guess they wouldn't consider it "secure" then lol.

The secure element contains a bunch of unique keys tied to your MEID that are used to facilitate secure communication with the servers. If you wiped its contents, you'd lose those keys and you thus access to google wallet.
The secure element has countermeasures that are designed to prevent somebody from stealing those keys and therefore being able to steal your money. If the secure element detects tampering, it destroys itself to protect that information.

You don't, they commit suicide. If you are talking about how to get rid of google wallet so you can flash a ROM, you go to google wallet got to settings and clear the data or whatever it is.

So, is it safe (for wallet) to root as long as you dont apply a new rom?
I mean, I can see this thread is trying to figure out if flashing custom roms is safe, but In the meqn time id like to know if just plain rooting is safe for google wallet
thanks!

Yes its safe to root, we are just trying to figure out if it is safe to flash ROMs. I have seen people saying they got it after root but I don't know if they flashed a ROM or not.

[PRL] Verizon / Corporate PRL on your Sprint Galaxy Nexus !!!

After Days/ Weeks of scouring the interweb for the mods to use your own PRL on the new Galaxy Nexus without any luck I've tried a method that worked on my previous phones.
I decided to take the leap and try it on the Nexus and it worked. I have horrible sprint coverage at work and can't even get 3g, but you cannot force the phone to roam to a nearby Verizon tower. Now after this method I have full bars, 3G and 1.9 MB download speeds.
As always I'm not liable for anything that could happen to your phone or Contract. If you want to switch back just follow step 2 with a sprint PRL or use "Update PRL" in about phone if its included with your ROM. (Flash back to stock if not)
I can't find the previous thread as it was so long ago but here is exactly what I did.
1) Get Any Cut from the Google play store.
2) Put the PRL you want to use on the root of your Internal Storage and rename the file to Test.prl *Make sure you unzip the prl and put it on the root of your internal storage. Ex. Take 00001.prl out of the zip file and rename it test.prl. (Some people have noted that TEST must be capitalized, it isn't for me but if it fixed it for those users there's no harm in trying.
3) Create a new shortcut in Any Cut, Click Activity, scroll down and select PRL Write.
4) Go to your home screen with the shortcut on it and click it. After a few seconds your phone will restart.
5) Check your PRL version in About phone and it should reflect the change. Note: it may take a minute to update.
6) Profit.
I'm in awe that this worked so easily and the first time as many of you know changing a PRL is usually not for the faint of heart. So I'm still a bit skeptical but "Not Roam control" also says I'm on the Verizon Network. If you try this please post back with your results. Also please make sure you know your coverage on Sprint vs. Verizon in your area. You won't notice any difference if your sprint coverage for your area is better than Verizon. In Ohio ( My area anyway) Sprint coverage is terrible, but Verizon is amazing.
I use 00001.prl and 00002.prl which are modified Verizon prls that will not return the roaming indication.
Users have also noted that the Rom and Kernel Versions may cause some issues with the Write PRL in Anycut. I'm using Black ICE 34.70 and Francos Kernel Milestone 3 and don't have any issues.
I have made a nice little shortcut system using Tasker. Since I dont have the "Update PRL" on my rom. All I need to do is change home screens click whichever PRL I want to run then hit Write PRL and phone reboots with the correct PRL.
Here's How:
Create two folders on the root of your internal Storage, one called Sprint, one called Verizon (Or whatever you want that describes your PRL).
Inside those folders drop the respective PRL files already renamed "test.prl".
Using Tasker or any other app that supports deleting/coping files, create a new Task Called "SprintPRL".
Add two Actions, the first is a Delete File, File location is /sdcard/test.prl
Second Action, Copy File From Sprint/test.prl To /sdcard
Now do the same thing for your second PRL changing the Copy file From location to point to the second location.
Now you have two tasks that will delete the file on your Internal Storage and copy the PRL you want in its place.
Using this method has some nice perks as you can set Tasker up to fire off when you are in a certain area you know you have bad sprint coverage. I'm going to do some research today to see if I can trigger the PRL update activity from Tasker and make it completely hands free.
I have used some NFC Tags and NFC Task Launcher to Fire off these but I still have to manually click the update PRL shortcut with Anycut. Once I solve that problem I'll post it here as well.
Enjoy Guys n Gals!

--==WARNING==--​You will get calls from Sprint if you use this PRL and stream/Download a bunch of Music/ Movies every month for 3+ months. The data limit is 300MB per month before you get flagged. I've got three warning calls for all of my lines but they have yet to disconnect me so don't be paranoid that Sprint will just cancel you. I've set my Data limit on my phone to 300 MB/month and/or used a firewall app from the market to limit which apps have access to 3G to help prevent this, especially on my Sons line.

i wrote the prl.. it shows up as the new prl when checking settings > about > status... yet when looking in *#*#debug#*#* > 1x Engineering.. it shows i'm still on a Sprint SID. also the phone is in 1x mode. did you change any data settings anywhere to get verizon 3G?

I can't remember tbh, I think It may have been my Wifes Hero. I'm on Black Ice Rom with FD02 Radio. I tried using the *#*#debug#*#*code but its not taking my MSL for some reason (Keeps saying invalid), I'll have to look into that later. I'm using the 00001 PRL. Download "Not Roam Control" From the market and let me know what network it says your on. I'm not sure if your SID is changed when you update the PRL.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Weird Hidden Easter Egg

Found this while playing around.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u7RXMSfeao
I have mixed result, half and half. Some people get it others don't .also it don't matter what service or phone you have as others have had different results. I have the galaxy S4 on T-Mobile . Some say they don't get it while having the same set up as me.

Nope, doesn't work.

Wicked has its own easter egg like that (many of people have copied it by now though) in settings select the more tab then select about device, then rapidly tap the android version untill the jellybean pops up, then long press the jellybean and wicked logos float around the screen and they can be moved around by touching the screen

I'm aware of that easter egg but this guy is talking about something else; dial 123456789 and it plays music.

"Subscriber is not in service."
(Not directed to OP) sounds like another troll.

I had my friend try it on his Galaxy SII (he's running CM10.1 if that happens to matter) and it totally worked. Apparently it works for some and not for others... I wonder why that's so?
Also:
With WiFi calling enabled, I get "The subscriber you have dialed is not in service... Message IL95O56"
With WiFi calling disabled, I get "Your call cannot be completed as dialed... Message NC26951"
I only get EDGE service where I live. I wonder if I would get anything different on 3G/4G? I'll have to try at work tomorrow.

The dialer 123456789 trick worked for me on wicked v3.

Wow other people got this too lol cool , OK so I'm not trying to troll anyone. I found this out while trying to just go on the web browser I had no 4g and I know by dialing any number I usually dial 611 , it resets the data and my 4g comes back. Now what made me dial 123456789? No clue lol I was board and I just dialed it then the music came on. Thought all phones did this so I tried my girlfriends phone and nothing I tried her sisters phone nothing. So I made this video to see if anyone knew about this.
I tried these phones and this is what made me think it was T-Mobile that did this but now its confirmed that its not.
Samsung galaxy s4 T-Mobile - worked
Galaxy s4 sprint - didn't work
Galaxy note 2 T-Mobile - worked
Galaxy reverb virgin mobile - didn't work

These were the results. Anyone know why this happens? I called while on off WiFi and on WiFi also while on 4g and it happens while I'm on any of these.

It doesnt work for me

That's what the video link is. I just talk a little demonstrating what a Easter egg is first for anyone who didn't know then I show what happens and what song comes on also I found the name and persons who sings it I have all the information in the description of the video.

Confirmed working. Although it won't work via wifi calling and I was on 4g when it worked.
By the way that's an old dance hall reggae song (originally from the 70s?).... But this version is from my youth! I believe it's Dawn Penn and Bounty Killah summer of 94. Wow I was only 19 then lol!
Big ups to the OP for finding this.... I missed that song and all the dance hall reggae from the 90s! The 90s produced some of the best rap music as well. Peace!

Tried it on 4G here at work and it still doesn't work. I had my coworker try on her SII and it did not work for her either. (But it did work for a friend in NY/NJ on his SII) I'm thinking this might be tower-specific. I've heard that engineers sometimes coded in music that they could dial a secret number and listen to while working on the towers. No idea if this is related though.

Who Runs Stock?

So Who here runs stock rom?
Do you run stock rom with Xposed or do you find better performance in running a rom?

I am running completely stock except for being rooted. I just haven't found a need to run anything else. Performance is awesome stock and I don't have time to deal with my phone much interns of playing. I need it for my work and it does everything just fine.
On my old Droid Razr Maxx, I used to put together my own Roms, but I just haven't felt the need at all with this phone.

I run stock 4.3, rooted. Been contemplating upgrading to 4.4.2 stock, but AFAIK, none of the root preserve KNOX.
Nowadays I stay with stock, less problem.

I was running stock 4.3 since I got my phone release day but decided to root and upgrade to 4.4.2 a few days ago and retain root so I can do the SD card mod. Wanted to see what the hype was about. I regret upgrading to kit kat but at least I'm rooted and Knox still intact and still "official" device status. So I'm still in warranty.

More battery drain. Can't use foxfi anymore so I'm trying to find another method to tether. Nova launcher animation reverts to opening app from center instead of opening from the icon location. Lost my ripple lock effect when connected to galaxy gear.
There's no benefit to kit kat for me. But now I'm stuck till someone figured out how to revert back.

My Note 3 came with 4.4.2 when I got it. havent had an issue with anything yet (Coming from an Nexus 5) Tethering isant an issue as I have AT&T and have not had an issue with the T-Mobile tethering app.
Have been thinking about putting the S5 Messaging app and S5 accuweather widget but so far thats about All I want just for root.

You've never had note with 4.3 so you won't see the difference with battery life. Specially coming from a nexus 5. I used to get 6-7 hour on screen time. Not talking standby time. T-Mobile tethering app limits me to my 3gb T-Mobile tether plan. With foxfi it bypasses it so I have unlimited tethering.

Have you tried pdanet? It says it supports 4.4.2 and if you already bought the foxfi key that will also unlock and work on pdanet.

I run stock ROM and love it. LeanKernel, root, Xposed, Foreverloco's inverted dialer and a few ported S5 apps are all I need to be happy. I'm usually one to run crazy modded ROMs, but stock MI7, NB4 and NE6 have all been perfectly stable and great on battery for me. I do PSX/PSP emulation, mobile gaming and watch a lot of media on my Note 3, so I'd say performance is fine in stock.
My wife ran stock unrooted MI7 for what seems like forever, until the NB4 OTA got forced onto her phone lol. After that, her phone started to heat up and drain in her pocket. It was easily fixed by a clean wipe and Odin to NE6 though. No problems since.
The only times I didn't run stock ROM on Note 3 were when I was running dwitherell's Tweaked ROM (this thing is a work of art seriously) and sbreen94's HyperDrive (really great NB4 ROM). But since going NE6, I haven't really felt the need to try another modded ROM.

I am curently running stock, but I am looking for a variant of multirom for the Note 3 (N9005). And I think I might have found it in safestrap.

Thanks for the tip but it looks to be the same as foxfi in which it currently only supports Verizon kitkat note 3 devices only for now.

You've never had note with 4.3 so you won't see the difference with battery life. Specially coming from a nexus 5. I used to get 6-7 hour on screen time. Not talking standby time. T-Mobile tethering app limits me to my 3gb T-Mobile tether plan. With foxfi it bypasses it so I have unlimited tethering.

Does Foxfi really bypass the tethering limit on 4.3?

Stock 4.42 rooted. Knox is blown but don't care. Use Xposed and a number of other root apps. Battery use is good, no real issues unlike what others have reported. Have TWRP recovery, but mainly for use to make backups. No plans out interest to change ROMS or kernel

It does. I was actually using it before I upgraded to the new plan with 3gb free tethering. Only had the unlimited data option then. Had to make an empty apn and activate before I ran foxfi for it to work.

I'm running stock everything non root. I updated OTA to KK. Phone lags once in a while. And my battery seems to be going very quick compared to my wife's note3. She can go 2 days on one battery. ( all she plays is candy crush lol). Other than that I'd say it's the best phone We've owned..

T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling

I currently have the M8, and most roms provide wi-fi calling. Are there any that provide it for the M9?
Thanks.

I also would like to know. But someone told me no because it's part of their own firmware.

OK, I just had to say it. The stock T-Mobile ROM supports WiFi calling.
I assume you meant custom ROM... but it was just too tempting.

Thanks; I did mean custom ROM, and assumed it worked on stock. I'm thinking about getting it, and just wait.

Yep no Wi-Fi calling on Custom yet as I do believe none of the devs actually have T-Mobile so it's harder for them to troubleshoot. But as with the m8, the devs will eventually get to it after they iron out most of their kinks in their rom. I'm also waiting, but currently using T-Mobile's stock with all the bloat frozen which is pretty great actually lol.

Just curious, what do you consider "bloat"? I think there are three T-Mobile branded apps on there. What did you freeze?

It was more like apps baked in that I couldn't uninstall. Such as some HTC apps, all T-Mobile apps, twitter, lookout security, etc.

I froze lookout also, because I use ESET. Haven't done twitter yet, although I don't use it.

if you have titanium backup and insecure kernel, you can uninstall all bloatware from your stock rom rooted. I removed HTC backup, HTC CD, twitter, lookout etc.. Then using xposed to get some of what functions I need from custom roms.

Lol thanks for the advice, but you must've read the conversation wrong. I was answering someone else by defining which apps I removed or froze that I consider bloat.
BTW you don't need insecure kernel.

This is good to hear! I am getting a new phone tomorrow night and I was leaning toward the Nexus 6 but as of a few weeks ago they have been hit with the loss of calling and data issue. They just get a "!" which requires a reboot and it happens again shortly after. Its not carrier specific either so its between a Google app and Motorola. I had the problem on my M7 and started a thread in Q&A to make sure that it wasn't happening here. I will be running stock ROM for a while and freezing the bloat as well...except for the ones I can uninstall of course.

oh funny you mentioned that, my coworker who is still using his nexus 4 (i know) says he's been getting that "!" too. He's fully stock, so maybe it has to do with GPE roms. You'll like the M9 stock, pretty smooth and snappy. The "overheating" is only during backup or when the "Android is upgrading" on boot. Haven't felt it any other times really. But it's like that with most phones, this one just feels hotter because the metal conducts more.
Just keep an eye out for Viper or InsertCoin to integrate wifi calling, if it was like M8, those 2 were the first to bake it in their All Variant ROMs. Although the others eventually followed suit but much later on.

I got my M9 on T-Mobile the night before last and the VoLTE calling sounds incredible when calling someone who also has T-Mobile. I am still running stock but I did stick a 64GB SD card in and my 30+ my4 movies sound and look incredible!
Oh, I guess the rumors about HTC throttling the 4 cores that max at 2.0 was very minimal, if not completely false. I couldn't get the 8 cores to max out all at 100% continuously so far....

Bah, this is what I was looking for. On the M8 there was a flashable zip that could put T-Mo calling on any sense rom.

Some are already baked in. Issue is that T-Mobile firmware is still slow on updates so devs don't usually keep track of Wi-Fi calling as most devs aren't T-Mobile user. Also there's a thread already opened for the flashable zip. Not perfected yet.
