So I am a T-Mobile user in Salt Lake City. I just installed the LiquidSmooth 4.2.2 ROM, it is superb by the way. I love AOSP.
Anyways, now that I'm not on a T-Mobile ROM, the App Store tells me that ISIS Wallet is incompatible, even manually installing the .apk won't work.
Now my guess is that the phone's ID or unique ID is changed to something other than T-Mobile which is why it won't work. Correct me if I'm wrong...
My question is; Is there some line of code or file I could modify so that the App Store or whatever decides what apps work on my phone will see it as the T-Mobile branded ROM? That way I'm sure that ISIS mobile wallet will install fine since the NFC chip works as it should already.
Thanks for your time, if this is possible, I'm sure it will help plenty of future users, especially when ISIS expands to other markets.
Do you have the new SIM card that it needs to work ?
Also, I don't think it works on a rooted device, period.
You can use the Google Wallet work-around still on a rooted device and you get more features.

Yeah I have the appropriate SIM card. I tried flashing a TW ROM and it still didn't work because it was rooted.
So I un-rooted and flashed the stock image through ODIN. The deals I get around Salt Lake for using ISIS are too good to pass up.
The phone is pretty fast anyway on the stock ROM so it won't kill me.
Im also facing this issue, I have the new SIM, i have NFC and the Tmobile APK, there is a root workaround available. Im tired of people saying it wont work, because thats what rocks about android, theres always a way . The only hurtel i have is the APK wont install the play store says its incompatable, which is obviously just a block! Arg how to get around this, i remember finding a way to download a foreign APK once and install it worked and i wish i remembered how I did it!

U mean via es file explorer? That's the only way I can install as play store doesn't work.. Appreciate any help! Been working on GW for ever only to finally realise I'm 90% sure it won't work because of my NFC sim so I might as well buckle to isis

Okay, so I've become increasingly paranoid of the SE error that's been plauging various Nexus's over the internet. What I can gather from these is that the phone was either:
1.Not properly wiped between ROMs
2.They tried restoring Google Wallet from a backup
3.They flashed the App from the ZIP/APK (Unofficial)
4.They used a preinstalled version of Google Wallet on the flashed ROM
So, now that we can officially install Google Wallet from the Market, do you think that it should be safe to switch between ROMs? I used Google Wallet on my first GNex and it's been one of the best parts about this phone. I would really not like to lose this functionality on a device I dropped $600 on...
Yeah, thing is when you "reset" wallet to flash a new rom it locks you out of prepaid. Some chuckle-head with creative fear mongering has got the bloggers excited over some security crap. If I lost my device I would be more worried about my device that the Happy Meal they could buy at McDonalds with my prepaid card!

So how do you flash a new ROM without getting locked out of your prepaid card?

you don't. at least while google gets its **** together (properly in a few weeks).
Wait, it only locks you out of prepaid? Not the Citibank and total Google Wallet functionality?

If you get the "secure element is not responding" error you're dine with Google wallet until you get a new phone. I'm in that position and that's what Google and Samsung told me

well i dont know if this has been found out before, but here is my story
i got the hong kong nexus gsm back when it came out here in dallas tx. flashed it to stock google yakju. i used the wallet app apk and everything worked great. when the update came out it stopped working.
go to settings, apps, all. go to wallet, clear data. go to google account manager, clear data. go to google services framework, clear data. once u do that go to about phone check for update. it will have some weird 1969 date. once it checks open wallet and now it works. only thing is pre paid error when adding card
so i flashed to the new takju and same thing. followed thoes steps and same thing.
as far as i can get with wallet

If you are getting an error when adding your prepaid Google card and you previously had one activated, you need to call Money Network and have them do a master reset on your account. The number is 855-896-0693.

Will try thanks
Unsuccessful
I tried, but it did not work for me. I'm still getting the "secure element..." message. Has anyone tried activating with a different battery?
The battery is an antenna. Nothing more. Secure Element lives in your phone.

Does the master reset really work? I tried this from an apk long time ago and now it won't work with the market installed app and won't allow me to add a prepaid card.

I got this today, stuck at "Initializing your device"
I did Wipe Google Wallet from within the app, and after which i went back to google wallet and it's stuck there.
Stays the same after reflashing 4.0.4.
So I'm having trouble getting Wallet setup on my Galaxy Nexus...works fine on my Nexus 7.
I can setup the app, but when it says 'setup required' under the card, it always fails to add card. See attached photo.
I've tried resetting the wallet app. I've restored to stock, flashed factory images. I'm unrooted. Can seem to get this fixed. Any advice?

I have the GSM version...
So I called Google Wallet. They told me that the UNLOCKED GSM Galaxy Nexus is NOT SUPPORTED to run on Google Wallet! The new app makes this so. ONLY the Sprint version of the phone is supported! This can't be right can it? Two guys in Google Wallet support said this, including the manager. Any advice? Is this really true?
I'm running it just fine on the unlocked gsm with at&t, don't know what to tell you

GSM should be supported despite what they said.
Beamed from Maguro
I use it on unlocked GSM on T-Mobile.
Right! I know. So I'm getting this error I posted about whenever I try to setup. Makes NO sense whatsoever. I've reset my phone like 10 times and doesn't work. Tried adding different cards, etc. Tried to setup without my sim card inserted even! Still no go.
just set mine up. GSM unlocked phone from google. Unsupported Device Policy message on top of screen during set up. Set up went ok, it picked up my card number automatically. "Learn more" next to unsupported device msg linked to message:
"Some users may disable important security mechanisms in order to gain system-level "root" access to their device. We strongly discourage doing so if you plan to use Google Wallet. We are unable to support devices with unatuhorized operating systems as the security layers of the device may be limited."
After setup it starts and appears to be functioning, but nothing to try it on. Still has the unsupported device msg also.
Unlocked and rooted my phone, running stock 4.1.
So some of you have actually made purchases with wallet? I have tried at different stores like Best Buy and Home Depot and it connects, but won't let me make my purchase. I have that $50 from buying the phone I need to spend, but can't get it to work anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions?
Me too, on Sprint rooted phone

I just got off the phone with Wallet specialist. He said Wallet would not work on my Galaxy Nexus that I unlocked and rooted. I am running the stock Jelly Bean, but alas, no Wallet. I might as well uninstall it. Bummer.

I think the Wallet guys have no clue what they are doing, support-wise. It's a massive fail imo
Just installed Wallet on my unlocked, rooted Galaxy Nexus. Everything went fine. Credit card added with no problem. Says I'm all set up, but haven't used it yet. I get the "Unsupported device" message but I'll believe that if and when it fails. Note that if you have certain parts of Google apps frozen, uninstalled, or blocked with a firewall, Wallet won't install. PS: Take anything a sales rep says with a grain of salt.
Anyone figure out how to get it working over ATT?
I thought it was good to go, but after turning on NFC and downloading the app, it says not compatible.
Which is weird since its an unlocked phone.
Do you need to turn on NFC while downloading? Did you try downloading with NFC off?
Maybe either the frequency or software might not be compatible.

Someone with an Xperia Z was able to get it to work. Maybe you could test yourself and report back.

Is anyone else having an issue with NFC. Mine wont switch on. When i tick the box, it automatically unticks. I did copy down a load of app data so maybe i copied over a system one automatically. Any ideas?
Edit: Uninstalled the re-installed Google Wallet. Went in to apps -> NFC service. Cleared all the data and stopped the service. Rebooted the phone and it worked fine. Chose Google Wallet as wallet provider, turned the screen off, then turned it back on and now i'm back to the same problem.

why u can't change it back??! I can change back to sony without problem
there is one thing after install wallet don't update from market.
No idea, each time I revert back to the Sony build.prop after a reboot I get the Google Wallet message "Your device is not supported". When I use the Nexus build.prop is works fine. Odd that I'm getting this error.
strange!! I am c6506 tmobile
So, by all the posts here, Google Wallet does not work without some hackery? I find that interesting, considering it seems that the phone intentionally supported it. I'd love to know who dropped the ball here, Sony or Google. I would love to have Google Wallet working on my ZL, but I refuse to root my phone and alter the build.prop to get it there.
It's definitely Google's fault here. They update Google Wallet every so often with new handset support. Maybe in the next update...maybe.

I kind of figured that would be the case. I hope Google decides to support the ZL as having a non-carrier branded phone (and thus choices like Google Wallet) was half of the allure of the ZL for me.
Can't seem to get Isis working. I am past the root check part with Root Cloak. I can tap and try to pay but it just keeps saying to check with the cashier to see if the payment went through, and it doesn't. I had a lot of trouble with Google Wallet back on My VZW Gnex and the solution was to put Wallet.apk into system/app. I am using the most recent Isis from the play store and am on Jedi KK. And yes, I do have the Isis SIM in there. Thanks guys.

Recently flashed Hyperdrive on mine and haven't had a chance to test everything out yet. Have you tried clearing data for Isis and starting fresh?
Did it work for you on stock or did you ever try?

Same problem for me since hyperdrive but since no one else complained I figured its specific to me . it sets up fine and then fails at the register
I didn't get a chance to try it on stock. I rooted right away when I got it and didn't even think to try Isis first. It's weird because I was having the exact same problem with Google Wallet on my Gnex. I would tap to pay and it would tell me to check with the cashier, and the payment would never go through. But then I renamed whatever it was (com.google.wallet.apk or something) to Wallet.apk, and moved it into system/app with Root Browser, fixed permissions, it would work 99% of the time. I'll try to move the Isis apk into system/app and try it at CVS. The tricky part if this works is to figure out if I need to rename the apk to Isis.apk or something. Sucks because it's embarrassing as hell when I try it and it fails.
