I've just spent the past couple of hours trying most of the available apks for Google Wallet. I did manage to get the 1.1r67-v12 version installed and running, however when I go to activate it tells me my hardware is not supported. Supposedly this was a known issue for G3 users on other carriers and Google released a fix for Sprint users. I have yet to find this update available in the form of an APK.
If anybody has access to a Sprint S3, could you please get me the APK?
For those interested, Google for a download link to the 1.1r67-v12 and using root explorer, copy it to both system/app and data/app and then reboot. Make sure the perms are correct (google it, rw--r--r or something similar.
My next steps are to try the build.prop trick in combination with the above apk.
If anybody else has any progress on this, please post below.
Thanks

Wait where did you get this idea? Wasn't NFC one of the key features of the Galaxy s 3? it would seem pretty silly for them to take it out. Then again they locked the boot loader =/

The Verizon page for the GS3 has S-Beam as listed. It wouldn't be listed if it didn't have NFC.
Verizon probably won't allow Google Wallet because they have a competing product, called ISIS. Bummer.
**Warning....wild speculation follows....
From what I can tell there is something missing (might be a bug) in the current version of our OS that isn't letting Google Wallet recognize the NFC device. Sprint had the same issue and apparently there was an update released OTA that fixed the issue for most everybody. If we could somehow get ahold of the before and after image and figure out exactly what was changed, we should be able to emulate they fix on the Verizon phone and get Google Wallet working.
I'm going to keep banging away at it, but there are plenty here way more experienced than I.....so here's hoping somebody else is looking at this.
ok...so the Market Enabler trick doesn't work either.
Obviously Google Wallet recognizes our NFC chip as if I turn it off Wallet will complain that it is off until I turn it on.
I've pulled down the two OTA's that Sprint has pushed out. One of which is supposed to fix the issue on Spring S3's.
Anybody know if its possible to extract the files within the updated boot.img files and apply them somehow post boot since we can't modify the current boot.img on the phone?
If anybody is a dev or knows a dev and they wouldn't mind taking a look at this thread, please let me know.

I fully agree.....however I'm sure there are plenty of people out there with the skills required to do this who aren't working on the boot loader problem.
If I knew more than I do now i'd be working on the bootloader problem myself...however my current lack of skills would only serve to impede progress so instead I'm trying to work on stuff wanted by many others.
+1 on this issue.
I just talked to Verizon who said it was Samsung's fault and I talked to Samsung who said it was Verizon's fault, regarding Google wallet not working. So sick of the nonsense.
Christ our backwoods local little country food store has NFC payments. I'm so sick of this crap this should have been our phone and working. I will not be using any Verizon payment systems, screw them.

Its definetly verizons fault. It works on all other carriers yet only verizons phone has the most problems and also their public support behind ISIS only adds fuel to the fire. I wish Verizon listened to their customers for once and stopped trying to control everything.

Thank you for contacting the Verizon Wireless Chat Team. One of our skilled Chat Representatives will be with you in a moment.
Your Chat
Hello, my name is Kat. I’m happy to assist you with your question regarding your device.
How can I help you today?
kelliepito: Hi my name is Juan I have the galaxy S6 and would like to know if its going support Samsung Pay?
Kat: Hi great question. I can surely check for you. Allow me one moment please to see if there is any information regarding that feature.
Kat: Thank you so much for your patience.
Kat: Samsung
kelliepito: ok
Kat: Here is what I have found according to Samsung site. the s6 is one that does show that it has the nfc detection area on the device. we actually have a special sim card that inserts into that phone to allow the nfc to work
kelliepito: so will Verizon support it?
Kat: I've checked the system on my end, I'm not getting anything about this showing that our device does not support it. We do have all of the requirements for the NFC currently enabled in the device. I'm checking a co-worker phone right now to see if this is something that shows can be downloaded in the play store as I do not see it on the phone
kelliepito: ok thanks
Kat: You are welcome. allow me just another few moments please
Kat: Thank you so much for all of your patience. seems that this is not something that we will support at launch. I've checked the play store to see if there was an application for it and i'm not finding either as well.
Kat: according to the Samsung site right now, ATT, Sprint, Tmobile, and US Cellular are supporting this at launch
kelliepito: NOT GOOD
Kat: The device does have currently the technology inside of it to allow the important piece of the program to work. I would wait to check back on Samsung site as it nears the date to be sure that our phone will support it in full
Kat: Samsung Pay
kelliepito: WHY ONLY VERIZON NOT SUPPORTING IT?
Kat: I really wish that it was something that I could truly tell you. As of right now not every one supports this. It could be some type of incompatibility issue with the network. I'm not all that sure since the program has not yet launched. in my system there are not any information on the samsung pay. You are more than welcome to contact Samsung to see if they have more information on it. but its not to say that we will not support it, as of right now, we do not support it
IIRC, Verizon never got around to supporting Google Wallet and other payment methods for a good long time. Don't they have a proprietary "wallet" app? If it smells like a fish...

they (verizon) have soft card
Android Pay is upcoming with Marshmallow but then again its VZW. SoftCard was bought by Google.
It could be technically the Radios/Modems in the VZW variant that has some incompatibilities but that is doubtful since Sprint uses the same chipset.
my 2 cents
I talked with Verizon again and they really don't have a clue. I've got my rooted S6 on swappa and Samsung Pay was a pretty big selling point for me so I'm kinda happy I lowered the price this am

Your phone is rooted so Samsung Pay won't work on it. Regardless of the carrier. That is one of Samsung's rule on using Samsung Pay. It checks to see if your device is rooted.
Losing root was always a possible side effect of using Samsung Pay. The whole point is now we might have it delayed or not have it all together.

That would require you to make a couple of edits and/or bypass the root validation. If you modified the apk you likely compromised a very important security function as they are tied together.

If I Odin back to stock, I am no longer rooted. I could then take the OTAs to get to OG5. Once Samsung Pay is released I would be good to go. Shouldn't need to modify any apks.

Ok, you've officially lost me. What are you talking about? If I searched out a phone I knew I would be able to root, I sure as heck wouldn't have gotten the S6 on launch day. Just so happened a root method became available shortly after. If Samsung Pay becomes available on the Verizon S6 (assuming I haven't sold the phone) I will unroot it in order to use Samsung Pay.

I did not purchase a rooted phone. Maybe you misread my post. I purchased it on launch day. I then rooted it with ping pong root which does not trip knox. Returning to completely stock is as easy as flashing a tar file in Odin...at that point you are no longer rooted. From there you can take OTAs and when Samsung Pay hits, you'd be able to use it without any problems. Does that clear it up for you?
I never once said anything about being rooted AND using Samsung Pay. I DID say it was easy to unroot so you could use Samsung Pay.
I've found the link to be able to download the Samsung Pay Beta .apk file but I haven't figured out how to get it to install. Does someone else want to try? I'm stuck on a Samsung S6 Edge running 5.0.2. I wonder if you have to have 5.1.1 to run it.

You're correct about it requiring 5.1.1. I don't know if it also checks the version of Knox associated with the latest firmware version but it does check the Android version at least. Until we get root on 5.1.1 for Verizon there will be no way to cloak root for apps that check it.

This guy got me all excited like some big rooting exploit was found :crying:. Since being dumb and updating my phone in mid-summer to 5.0.2, I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for a chance to root my phone. Unfortunately, Verizon ignores the FCC's ruling that they can't disallow the user from doing what they want with their device. Should I keep waiting for someone to find an exploit or should I just give up my dream?
Here's my phone stats just in case someone knows of a way:
Model: SM-G920V
Version: 5.0.2
Kernel Version: 3.10.61
Build ID: LRX22G.G920VVRU2AOF1
Just update your missing out on wifi calling this phone won't be rooted
Does Marshmallow give us a chance?
Taking a different angle, is there a greater or lesser chance of having our phone rooted once Marshmallow is available? Will the newer OS introduce exploits that can affect root? Thanks for any insight you smarter folks can provide
I personally updated to 5.1.1 in the last 4 months, but in all honesty I didn't really utilize root very much, it was more of a play thing for me. I was rooted on all my previous devices though in the last 5 years, so it's not super easy for me to simply drop root on a whim.
I know some people use tethering as they still have unlimited data, which my buddy has a unrooted device and uses FoxFi for, which still works unrooted.
I have to say though that 5.1.1 runs much better than any of the previous rooted roms. I really like the wifi calling because the signal in my apartment isn't too hot (1 bar of 4G) and thus the phone doesn't eat battery at home like it used to. The OS feels a lot more responsive (though the sluggishness is not fully fixed it's much better) and overall it's just a better experience at the moment.
If you need to turn off apps you still can for the most part. There aren't too many you can't disable.
Who knows, maybe once we get Marshmallow there will be a new hole and then we can have the best of both worlds. Here's to hoping.

It will likely be harder to root. There have been significant changes to 6.0.* to improve "security". I wouldn't really expect root on this device to be widely available.

WiFi calling allows you much clearer calling than normal calls. Even more so when talking to another Verizon customer with the same feature. You don't get locked into bad cell towers (like the places I go) and allows you to VPN where needed - even your calls. It seems like a level more of privacy but it might be that "V" might be listening (ala Microsoft Skype). Don't know about that one.
The upgrades also allow you to video chat with another Verizon customer but it works exceptionally poorly and consumes loads of bandwidth that some networks (and 4G/LTE networks) can't handle.
If we don't have an unlocked bootloader by the time 6.0 rolls out I'll probably just flash that and deal with not being rooted.

You're conflating wifi calling (just the ability to call over wifi - which is not available on 5.02) with HD Voice/Video aka Advanced Calling (which is higher quality voice over LTE, which is available on 5.02). Personally, I've seen 0 instances of having voice over wifi kick in except for the time I forced it on by connecting wifi while having the phone in airplane mode. I have a feeling Verizon doesn't activate it unless there's absolutely zero 4g coverage.
So, I just downloaded the latest king root and it looks as though it worked. Installed root checker and titanium Backup. Everything working as expected. Can anyone confirm, or maybe explain to me how this is too good you be true?

Read those threads carefully, as any custom ROM and root method only works on older Verizon S6, phones that updated cant be rooted or install ROMs. I believe the cutoff was OE2, but i have taken all updates so i quit keeping track, so check other threads to find out for sure.

Hi folks,
Just got my Galaxy S7 today. It's Verizon, and the model is SM-G930V. Based on the fact that there seems to be very little information on Google about rooting this specific phone, I'm guessing it's not yet supported and/or will never be supported? I've read that it has a locked bootloader, which sounds like a whole heaping pile of SOL to me.
Anyone wanna sum this up for me in a few sentences?
Thanks!
Think SOL pretty much sums up any Verizon branded phone.

What are you talking about? They rooted it. It's just really hard to tell because XDA is confusing and has a bad interface. Head over to the s7 verizon forum and you will see the root method refered to as FRP. Folks aren't always clear what they are talking about. I actually like the FRP method better because it doesn't trip KNOX

Won't be a method until it's released, then I'm certain the devs here will start cracking on it. Give time, the guys here are pretty good at what they do but there's still no guarantee root will be achieved (US models that is).

Root will happen
(If not I'll be suprised)
Look at s7 edge (exynos) if you want to have the approximate method.
Once twrp is released, I bet around the beginning of Mai, you will be able to install it using Odin (breaks knox, s pay, etc)
From there you'll be able to flash whatever you want (magisk, SuperSU, etc)
Edit:
Although I just stumbled over this:
Quote:
Finally, the Exynos 8895 also includes what Samsung is calling an “enhanced security sub-system with a separate security processing unit” for use with user authentication, mobile payments, and the like. Based on Samsung’s description this sounds a heck of a lot like Apple’s Secure Enclave, which would be a very welcome development, as in Apple’s case it has made their phones a lot harder to break into.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/11149/...-8895-soc-10nm
yeah, saw on their website that encryption layers are going to be a lot stronger. I still think it'll be cracked. It's a large enough phone. just might take longer than normal.

Yea root not enough for me, also need unlocked bootloader
geez the phones not even out yet. Gotta give the devs time to get there hands on the phone, then time to actually find a way to root it.
Would it be wise to right off the bat unenable automatic downloads of "Security Update: Improves Performance and Battery" in case someone finds a way to Root and they slip in an irreversible Firmware Update?
I bought this phone knowing it's going to be at least a year before at minimum root being achieved
if at all ,so I'm not getting my hopes up at all
This phone might be the straw the breaks the developers backs
I only needed a rooted phone for ARU unchained anyway ,but since the area51 got it to work unrooted
I can afford to wait

i mean yea, kinda, but your not gonna get updates. Personally I am just gonna update my phone, and hopefully they find a way to root. My biggest concern is using samsung pay with my Gear S3, while having my phone rooted. idk if that will be possible so until then im just gonna wait.

What do you mean? Even my Note 4 after ages waiting for the newest Android (Lollipop and Marshmallow) and nothing else for some suspicious reason recently they have been pushing updates pretty regular with the exact same description I posted, "improves performance and enhances battery life" or some $h!t which from experience these updates definitely do NOT do anything of the sort so it makes you wonder…

I use Samsung pay with my gear S3 and it's linked to my rooted 6p.

I hear you, preference I guess, I just like being up to date. I find that sometimes you are unable to use certain features without the updates.
I have the note 4 myself, and the only update that was a problem with that phone was MM, you could not downgrade from it. I have the AT&T variant so, no root access, and the current temp root that they have listed on the forums is not viable because your only temp rooted on experimental testing firmware.
The main feature you'll be missing out on is Bixby most likely, idk how good it will be or how bad, but you'll be behind that, apparently Bixby is not finished yet, and will not be shipped with the phone, at least not the complete version.

Haha, Buzby (as I call it) is the one INTRUSION I do NOT want!! Never asked for it, just forced upon us. This would be great, but I suspect the Phone already has Bixby embedded into it, what with all the hype (publicity for it) about it not functioning at launch I believe is a marketing ploy to bring attention to it. The part that is not being made available at launch is their end, nothing to do with needing an update for it to work (for those who blindly want it).
See, you watch, they will make such a big deal, like a major announcement when it is made to function and they "switch on their Bixby servers" it'll be posted all over the web like when the Note 7 fiasco (supposedly) happened.
Stop for second. And think. THINK. For yourself. That right there is invaluable advice. Bixby is not your friend.
