No matter what i do, rom i flash, partition i wipe.... wallet force closes and does not work. i am using the nexus 4g. even if i unroot and roll back to 2.3.4 wipe everything multiple ways, accept ota updates just like i did before, wallet fails.
so ive rooted and unrooted before 2.3.7, took the ota and everything was dandy.
all i did was root a few days later and it was done. i am convinced there is some data on the nfc chip just like data was being saved on the gps when switching certain evo roms. Why would simply rooting the phone break wallet when sooo many people are running it rooted? almost wanna take it to sprint....
You need the ke1 radio for it to work on 2.3.7 without hacking it on there

Yes remember this is a now unrooted sprint nexus returned to stock with all the proper radio's and all...
Bump
suggestions anyone?
tried taking it to sprint but didnt have time to stick around and wait a few hours....
Same thing happened to me, I called google wallet support they blamed it on me unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom rom. Basically you're sol unless you can swap it out at sprint. as far as I know. Google isn't responding to this issue.

Also, make sure you're copying the 2.3.7 versions of:
com.android.nfc_extras.jar > system/framework
com.google.android.nfc_extras.xml > system/etc/permissions.
If you know how to sign APKs, make sure Wallet and Nfc have the same signature. If you don't know how, copy over Nfc as well to system/app and wipe cache either way.
Hope that works. Good luck.
Returned the phone to sprint overnight. Wow. The sales people and techs there are completely clueless. Oh well. After me schooling them on everything, they decided to give me a new phone. It will be shipped in a few days.

Probably refurbished. From what I understand these phone go through more tests than new phones and still look new. I'm fine with that. If the phone continues to fail (which I doubt) then I can get a new phone.
So I got a new phone from sprint. Interesting I had to set up a new Google prepaid card. Got another 10 bucks...

The key is to flash the wallet fix rite on top of the rom you flash. In the same recovery session. Works everytime.

Ok, well I'm getting a new HTC Thunderbolt today (Android) and am selling my old HTC DROID Incredible to a friend who's coincidentally just dropped his old Eris into a pool! Anyway, my question is this: I've rooted my D.Inc. and have Cyanogenmod 7.2 on it. Would I/he need to unroot and go back to the stock ROM to use the phone on his own contract? Thanks, let me know.
I don't believe so.
But where did you get CM7.2? There isn't even a 7.1 yet lol.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7.
Thank you.
And you're right. I was messing the decimals up. I meant 7.0.2.1. It's on ROM Manager. lol, sorry for the confusion.
So I'll likely need to un-root?
I don't think you'll need to unroot, although I'm not 100% sure. I hope someone else can chime in with a more certain answer.
And its alright lol I was just like "wait a minute, beta? " lol
Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7.
Yeah, I'm getting the same semi-certain answers that it'll be fine from the guys on the cyanogenmod forum. I think I'll just take the leap of faith...I don't see why it would be a problem.
I know at one point there was a place on the VZW website to change your phone and you just manually typed in the ESN of the new phone and voila new phone activated.
But, I never did try that w/a rooted phone

You don't happen to have a link for that, do you? I think my wife is gonna switch to my OG Droid, now that I have the T-Bolt, but I don't want to have to go back to stock from CM7 to take it back to the VZW store.
You should be able to call in to verizon and change it as well.
Long as you don't have an actual rep look at the phone, shouldn't be an issue.
Just dial *228 from it choose option 1 .. no laws against root just voids warranty and if you use wireless tether you breach terms

No you do not need to unroot. Just be careful if you bring it in to Verizon while rooted. I did, but I had my buddy switch my old phone to another family member and activate the new one so I really didn't care.

This is correct, when I got my TB I gave my wife my rooted OG Droid running CM7 and it activated for her just fine. I've also showed off my OG Droid to the reps at my VZW store all the time. Most of them were rocking rooted phones anyway, they just don't like it when you bring it in and try to lie about it being rooted when something goes wrong.
There's a link when he logs in to verizonwireless.com to activate new device. Just type in the ESN and choose a plan. I sold my fascinate running one of adrynalyne's roms and activated fit or my buddy from my thunderbolt that way. No problems at all.
Yeah, it seems to be that everyone agrees it'll work. I've committed to do it. When it's done and if it works I'll post it here for possible info purposes.
I activate them all the time. In most cases you can just dial *228 option 3 and follow the prompts to activate any Verizon phone anywhere. I work for a Verizon retailer.

I agree with most everyone but using the website never seems to work. And if the Verizon framework has been removed, good luck getting them to update it.
My suggestion would be to download a normalish Rom/stock and switch it over with him. It's got to be the fastest way. Good luck!

There will be no issues activating the phone, you do not have to unroot. Verizon cannot stop you from rooting, you just technically lose your warranty!

lies, their contract says that they can end your contract for using tampered with phones.
So no they can't stop you, but they can end your contract and force you to pay the cancellation fee, refuse to activate the phone, etc if you walk in and happen to talk to the wrong person.
doesn't mean they will, but they can.
Okay gang,
I recently fried my Atrix 2's system partition somehow, and it wouldn't load passed the "M" Motorola boot logo. But, after some patience and step-by-stepping through how to use AP Fastboot to install a 2.3.5. script, its now working again.
The question is this: In my haste felt from being without a phone for a few days, and in thinking that the phone was just completely jacked, I filed a claim with AT&T to get a "new" replacement phone.
The phone came today, but along with that came the solution to fic the original back to stock. Now, I have (2) Atrix 2's and the original SIM card from the first is still active, and with the 2nd Atrix 2 came a new SIM card -not activated.
So, can I (or should I) keep both phones and use the first as my rooted "test" phone, whilst keeping the second as an unadulterated "back-up" phone?
I don't want to cheat the system here, but was thinking it mightb be worth the deductible from my AT&T insurance to keep both so as to get more fluent with ROMS, flashing, etc all while having a completely stock 'back up'.
I was thinking of activating the 2nd (fresh) SIM card that came with the new phone and swapping between the two handsets as necessary.
Any thoughts/suggestions/warnings/insight?
As always, thanks in advance for your responses...

So, in my paranoid mind, there's no issue between the handset and the SIM card communicating with the service provider letting them know that I have two handsets running off one SIM card at any given time?
I don't want to run the risk of (firstly, and most importantly) insurance fraud, and second having any issues with warranty/service agreement mumbo-jumbo!
I figured this would work, since the Atrix 2 doesn't have Carrier IQ to divulge any of mine or my phone's information, just wanted to be absolutely sure!
With your claim simply say that the phone was lost. And after you got your new phone someone returned it too you....can't be insurance fruad if someone returned a lost phone....can it?

I actually did file it as a "lost" phone. I suppose that I should just activate the SIM card that came with the replacement and use that one -its brand new and has no wear- instead of using the original one to perpetrate my story.
If nothing else, as you said, I could always declare the phone was returned to me after letting some time elapse and after paying my monetary deductible in full. What are they going to do, ask me to return the replacement because of the return of the original? And further, how the heck would they (AT&T) even know for sure?
Thanks all!
Why don't you just be a honest person and return the old one like you are suppose to and keep the new one? With people like you trying to pull crap like that, it's no wonder att and the manufacturers raise the rates all the time.

You guys are right, and I'm sorry for coming across as a scammer about this; like I mentioned: I don't want to cheat the system.
After sleeping on it, I've decided that it IS VERY unethical of me to want to keep both phones, and I will be sending the replacement that AT&T sent to me back to them
Guess I just wasn't using my noggin the way I ought to have... my apologies.
Used Superoneclick rooted two of these Skyrockets Running ST two months ago.Ive kept the 2.3.5 that came with it,and just put on golauncher or spb shell 3d.Never been happier.Both phones speedtest between 3-8m,just perfect for a non LTE smaller city..Just couldnt be happier.
But the incidents in the last three days have turned my jubilation to a bleak grey,crushed existence.Im seeing red and i ran here.I pray to the xda gods for wisdom and patience.
Few days ago being the noob i am (few easy roots in 3 years) i decided to meddle with my precious skyrocket,and its spb shell..Was getting errors of various sorts trying to re-install apps i shouldve payed for.(from now on i vow to pay for each and every paid apk i install-im so done) Including spb-though i payed for it on my g account,it was on my girls phone with my gmail as well, which i paid for it but only to be on her phone not mine...
Long story short i went arount deleting caches im sure i shouldnt and possibly cwm stuff too..i have no idea what i deleted exactly,or remember, because im a noob and an idiot.
Everything works fine on the phone but the one thing that matters the most to me..the data..the internet is so slow...Speedtest used to be around 4m or 6m,now im lucky if its .1m Takes 5-15 minutes for a small market app to download..
I can send and receive pic messages,make phone calls etc etc...
But my speed is gone... I called straight talk and of course they told me they dont throttle,instead they would cut my phone right off if i had downloaded too much..
I even tried changing apns,i used my girls sim,and that didnt even do it..
So finally i unrooted after one factory restore... still crawling..
so i just did another factory restore,still crawling..
One thing i can say is that at&t was trying to OTA a huge update in the previous days...but it wasnt installing...Maybe it installed something?
HELP ME puh puh pleeez
One simple question. Can you get into download mode? If you so you can flash the phone back to stock. You can download the firmware 2.3.6 from www.sammobile.com Just do a search on sgh-i727 and it bring up the list. you just need to make an account to get the download. I would start over and start fresh.
Also you may want to think about what you have running, what all apps you have running in the background that could be stealing up some of the data.

thank you i will do this now brb
If you need more help, shoot me a pm and I will walk you through it.
ok well you asked if i could get into download mode... Which i just tried (for testing purposes-and without getting Odin etc etc)
it is saying DOWNLOADING-DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET....What do i do now?
the odin link is dead and am downloading the other stuff on my pc
You can just do a battery pull to get out of download mode and restart the phone.
Download odin from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17548951&postcount=1
it still says downloading after pulling battery...should i unplug usb?
yes, because you do not have all the files yet. But this is good to know and it should not be any problems getting you back to square one.
If you're on stock 2.3.5 just download the kj2 modem and reflash in cwm no need for Odin.

Sounds like your cell network went to doodoo is all. Didn't sound like you were messing with it bad enough to break anything.

If in fact my cell company is throttling me, thats usually a month-long thing? or is it permanente????

That is what i am understanding too!
But there is no other explanation for my issues...
Like i said,me and my gf both have new skyrockets,both for two months.
both have ST sims,same apns settings..
Her sim and phone are fine..her sim in mine is slow
MY sim in HER phone is slow...
Did two factory restores and upgraded from 2.3.5 to ICS..Still nothing..
It can only be throttling or hardware...
Wifi is fine...
So... what is it? Hardware or Throttling..i dont know
I can tell you the posts over @ Howards forum (straight talk forum) are growing rapidly for throttling issues...
Beleieve me,i REALLY want to beleive ST doesnt throttle,i think they may have finally started tho....
This may be a stretch,
But is there a place on xda where i could download the correct apn settings for a straight talk sim in this skyrocket?
yes yes i know there are many places where i can go find the settings to manually put them in,but for various reasons, i would like the actual file to load in apn backup and restore app....
Anyone know where i could snag that?
I had to reset my phone back to stock due to some issues with data/signal issues. I'm now not able to accept the ota vrlg7 every time i hit check for update it says service unavailable. I have my imei, stock,bootloader locked back. Im able to get on the internet so I know data isnt an issue as far as connectivity..
Maybe try a factory reset from inside touchwiz?

tried that a no go..I have a replacement coming tomorrow so i guess i could wait it out...Its my fourth one...
I had the same issue. I called support and they sent me a new sim card. Once I threw it in there and it activated the error went away. I would call or go into a store and get a new sim.
Hate to tell you but you probably need a new phone. I was getting that message with my first GS3. I took it to the store I bought it at and they tried a new sim...same message. They didn't want to, but I demanded they give me a new phone. I paid full retail price for the phone, so I didn't want it replaced with some refurb piece of junk.
I commented before reading further posts. Hope your replacement is good.

I have never rooted or flashed any rom on this phone, 100% stock. This started a few days after the last update.
I've just moved to college, and ever since then I've been having a lot of issues with mobile data. It worked better a few days ago, but now I can't get any internet at all. I called Verizon, and they said that since my signal strength is alright, and that they report having towers in my area, this should not be happening. The rep suggested that the SIM card is damaged, and that I might need to go get a new one.
This is plausable, since my phone has been getting much hotter lately, since I'm walking around campus more. One MicroSD card has already corrupted on me, and the second one almost did. I guess it's possible the heat is damaging both the MicroSD cards and the SIM card.
So here's my question: I'm rooted, and I'm running HyperDrive RLS9 as my daily driver. Will they need to check something on the phone in order to give me the SIM? Would it be a problem if they did find out I am rooted, and give me trouble for it?
I'd really, really hate to flash back to stock and unroot, so I'm asking if anyone has had experience in dealing with the Verizon reps and whether or not this will be an issue.
Thanks in advance.

All I could say from experience is just flash a stock ROM to your phone then take it in. Also have you tried a factory reset?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
If you have another device just take that one if you don't want to Flash back to stock. Otherwise just flash back to stock and un-root just to be on the extra safe side.

I don't have another device, unfortunately. It looks like I'll have to go through the process of unrooting, although I need to be careful, since if I accidentally flash VRUAME7 somehow, I'm stuck.
Any recommendations on the quickest way to unroot/flash stock? I of course plan on immediately rooting again after I get the new SIM, provided my network issues are fixed.
