Does Root Allow Google Wallet

Does Google Wallet work on a rooted N7?

I believe so but I'm in the UK so I don't know 100%.

For me it doesn't, it says unsupported device on the top at the credit card screen

You can use something like ota rootkeeper which will allow you to use it.

It will say this if you are rooted. Yes.
But it does NOT affect functionality.
Wallet will work just fine.
That rooted message is just a Google disclaimer.

I'm rooted and running CM10 and I used it today no problem.
It says its an unsupported device because you are rooted and they won't be held accountable if some app empties your wallet. It still works great though. Google paid for my lunch yet again!

Yes..
do you have a credit card with the little 'wifi' symbol on it (not sure what it's called).. this means your actual credit card has a NFC chip in it.
i have a Chase card, which has this.
every time i lay my Galaxy Nexus on top of my wallet, the NFC Reader app (market) i have installed, picks it up right away.

Works on mine. Took a long time to finish setting up.

Good thing to know. Just picked mine up from microcenter earlier today and was wondering the same thing. Haven't had much time to play with mine

Pasting my own post from another forum:
-----------------------
I have rooted and unlocked my Nexus 7, and yes, when setting google wallet after all that, I did get my $10 prepaid credit, and then I updated to the latest Google wallet version that allows you to register any type of credit card (visa, amex, etc). Which I did.
I went to the store just with the intention to pay with my tabblet, and it worked!!! And yes, I also got the "unsupported warning" for being rooted, but that does not stop the app from working perfectly. The selected card for that transaction was the credit card I registered, and I didn't have an internet connection for the transaction to be completed succesfully (very cool).
I haven't done a transaction with the prepaid $10 credit yet, but it should be no problem since I think it's even less complex than what I did above.

quick question do you have the wallet app open when you are checking out cause the when i tried it didn't work but it worked perfectly fine at MD and a vending machine so i dont know if its the store card reader or what

Well, can anyone explain why, on my Nexus 7 and HTC EVO LTE, both our which are rooted, Wallet used to at least open, but after this update I just get an error: sorry, wallet does not yet run on this device and on your mobile network"?
Two different devices, two different manufacturers, same error.

I use the hide my root app. I didn't know it would work with it being rooted though. I still like hiding my root until I need it.

Los Angeles. It ran before this update, so it's hard to imagine my location has anything to do with it.
I did find a few posts on other sites, like Android forums and AT&T's, for the same issue. Since nobody has complete info, we're all coming to different conclusions.
On AT&T's forum, they think it won't run because Wallet only has an agreement with Sprint. Obviously, my nexus 7 dispels that theory.
People on Verizon are speculating the same thing.
I've tried uninstalling both the update, and the entire app.
I've tried temporarily turning off root.
Still no workie.

[APP] Latest Google Wallet Aug/01/2012

Pulled this from my Nexus 7. Works on my Nexus S running latest Jellybro Kang. Thought I would share as this version lets you use more than just a Citi or prepaid card.
Version R1.5-R75-v6.apk

I'm not on the nexus s, but do you know if this will work without a data connection? I know the n7 doesn't need one but my gnex does. I'm wondering if you need data for this version to work on a phone.

I keep getting a error when opening the app. Says "movie network or phone not supported" how do I fix this? I'm using adamg jellybelly!

Maybe I should give it a try.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled. No issues here. Also, I believe it does need data as payment info is stored in the cloud instead of the device itself.

Hmmm... I wonder why it works for the nexus 7 but wouldn't work like that for a phone. I tried to use wallet on my phone in a store the other day and in the middle of authentication I lost signal and had to start over. I may test pulling the wallet apk off my n7 and try installing on my phone to see if it works the same. Thanks guys!

How about networks other than Sprint and AT&T?
Does anybody know if this works on T-Mobile or other "blocked" networks?
Currently I am running the version patched by MoDaCo (1.1-R63-v12 See this thread) on my T-Mobile Nexus S. Unfortunately, this revision doesn't implement the new functionality to use cards other than Mastercard.
Does anyone know if the new apk still contains the device and carrier checks? If so then us T-Mobile people will still need a patched version.

yes it does contain the device/carrier checks... though you could always just try... instead of waiting for an answer... you would have known 5 minutes ago...

I just successfully installed it on my rooted T-Mobile Nexus S. Everything seems to be working fine. That Unsupported Device banner at the top is still there though. I haven't gone out to test it at a payment terminal yet.

The unsupported device warning is because your phone is rooted.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I've been trying tutorials and tricks to get Wallet to install, to no avail, for >hour. This worked perfectly. Can't wait to try it with my Visa card now that they're supported.

Just tried it on the aokp kang on my i9020t on T-Mobile and got insecure element. Had to flash my nandroid that had 1.1 r41v8 installed which is really old unfortunately. Would love to get a newer version working...

Thanks for this. Installed fine and got my cards added on Kali's CM10... Now just have to try it out and see if I can still make purchases.

Unfortunately Google wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile Carrier
Anyone know how to get past this?

Installed on my VZN Nexus with the little banner due to I'm rooted and it seems to work just fine. Let me register, etc. I just have not tried it out at a store yet. We don't have to many places that accept it (or I just don't but a few).
Oh, thanks for the updated .apk Not sure why Verizon is such a [email protected]#$ and not let us use it.

Its fine. It still works fine... they just won't support it if you have an issue. Basically saying they aren't responsible in case something were to happen.

Do unrooted people that are side loading the app still get the message because it wasent installed directly from the app store? I'm scared to do it with the message I would hate to be robbed and have Google tell me eh your rooted.

Droid ultra and Google wallet :(

I came from a Verizon galaxy nexus and of course I had root so I was able to get Google wallet installed. I used it very frequently and I seem to remember a. No root apk floating around out there, but it does not seem to work anymore. Has anyone had luck with Google wallet on their ultra?

No luck here

There's no secure element. You physically lack the hardware. Google's given up on Wallet for all intents and purposes.

Also being on a carrier that doesn't support wallet to begin with doesn't help.

Im not sure about that, isis initialized this phones secure element just fine. I think the nexus 7 lacks the secure element.

I believe the secure element is in the Sim card now. Not sure if Google Wallet could use that when/if we get root.

I don't have the NFC SE Sim as of Now, but today I ordered the NFC SE so as to hedge my bets when Isis starts to allow all credit/debit cards. I hate to go through this waiting game again. I was using Google wallet almost daily and it was one of my favorite gnex features.
That said Isis activated on my maxx without issue. And the isis site is a little confusing. It says it requires both an NFC se Sim and the phones NFC. But when using the app it says my phone was initialized just fine.

I had a Gnex with root and it was installed. Than one day it just gave me the unsupported carrier notification (not unsupported phone) and that was the end of that. They had to mail me a refund check.

There is a secure element still. When I set up ISIS wallet it specifically said it was programming the secure element.
And it works, I paid at McDonalds last night using it for the first time.

The SE is there, the libraries for controlling the built in one are not. The SE isis uses are a carrier controlled type running as an application on the sim.

Google Wallet!

Google Wallet just updated, works without mods!

Exactly, I noticed that I could install and run the app but GoogleWallet NFC is still restricted for us without root editing. Oh wells, hopefully this was a step towards getting NFC restriction lifted one step at a time.

Ive been searching around to enable nfc payments. I have the att active on stock rooted rom. I found a guide for the s4 that required changing your phones name and downloading a special version of wallet, then changing your phones name back once its installed. Im not too excited to download a hacked software that has the ability to access my bank account. Does anyone know of another method to make nfc payments work?

I can confirm that the instructions in that link work. I've been using NFC with Google Wallet on my i537 for a couple months now.

If I knew of a single business near me that accepted it, I probably would have gone through the process to find out for myself. I think the concept of Google Wallet and NFC payments is pretty cool. I'm just waiting for more people to adopt it.

Google Wallet for everyone!
Hopefully we will get the 4.4 update on our devices for tap-to-pay to be enabled! Good news is KitKat allows use of tap-to-pay and the bad news is that there is no time-frame for getting it.

at&t update last night??

So when I woke up this morning my phone said it had downloaded an update. seeing as I am rooted it wont install and I refuse to unroot just to update for fear of locking my self out of any possible bootloader exploits to be found in the future.
Does anyone know what this update is? I was suprised that there wasnt anything on here about it yet.

I got the update too...I am not sure if it was the first update or something newer. I was rooted so it did not take last time so I was wondering if it was new update. I am going to take update now. I restored to stock and it just came through again. It's safe because you can always flashback to previous version. Well it has been that way so far with G2. For the G2 to keep custom recovery you have to use a mix of different partitions from 4.2.2 and 4.4.2 to run stock 4.4.2.
D95010n is the update for me. I guess it is the same as first unless you need to have 10n before next update. Checking for update did not show anything newer for me.
Edit...When I flashed back to stock to get update I signed up for Isis and got $50 bucks on it. So I ran to CVS and got what I needed then I rooted and removed Isis

Because I prefer Google wallet and Isis is playing dirty business tricks to block Google wallet in KitKat. On G2 Google wallet does not even show up in tap to pay options since carriers are blocking that function to create monopoly for Isis.
