[Q] Google Wallet NFC brick still alive?

Just curious, and I apologize if there is another thread for this topic in the S4 forums (I searched), but does anyone know if it's possible to brick your nfc chip from a factory reset or ROM change (after setting up wallet) like it would with the EVO 4G LTE? Thanks!
PS. I am advising that anyone who wishes to use their NFC feature does not attempt to find out on their own!

I have never used wallet but I have factory reset and installed roms more times than I can remember with wallet installed. And my nfc and wallet are fine.

Currently I am having an issue with Wallet not liking my device because of root. I did a factory reset and wallet was fine, I did a Rom change and wallet was fine. Now I'm back to the stock rom with root and still having a small issue but the NFC works fine.

So in your case, nfc is working fine itself just not gWallet, and that is because of root you think? Have you disabled SEAndroid in TiBu?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

I did disable SEAndroid with TI (freeze) but I found what I had to do was with the actual Wallet app. I still get the unsupported device on the app. I've been reading around XDA and it appears that I may need to download GWallet from here where some of the people have fixed the unsupported device thing because of root. I've been trying to figure out how they fixed it (without asking too many questions) before I download it just so I hopefully can start contributing instead of leeching.

N7105 4.3 upgrade UK users

Has anyone updated to 4.3 official using any of the roms from sammobile? I see the nordic countries 4.3 is available, I normally use either this, the German or Swedish version, I've even used a Hong Kong one before now lol, but with the recent changes Sammy have made regarding knox and location lock etc, I'm a bit dubious to upgrade.
They normally just work, just checking this is still the case before I end up with an expensive paperweight.

There is a thread somewhere by chainfire with a fix to sammys region lock. The lion rom is pretty much stock with nox removed, you just have to use devil's kernel for wifi

I have flashed mine to the nordic contries im in uk and everything works great yes it has knox but I have had no problem rooting or installing custom roms. Im on the new skynote 4.3 note 3 edition and its the best rom I have used so far
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SG-N7105 lte using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Cheers mate. I flashed it the other day haven't got around to posting an update yet.
Yes it has knox, but I'm not going to be rooting this device because I use it for sky and a few other apps that require unrooted.
Impressions are good so far. Everything is smooth and all my apps are working as they were before, including the sky sports app which got an update recently to work with 4.3.
One thing to note though, if you use allshare cast dongle. It has a problem working with 4.3 devices that have been updated. So if you run into this issue the fix is to do a factory reset.
There is a workaround for rooted devices on here, it's in the S4 section.
A bit of a pain having to reset I know but seems to be the only solution for unrooted devices that run into it.

Hi mate
I'm also using the sky go app, and on stock 4.1 I've just been using ota rootkeeper to toggle root when needed. I really need root for the viper audio mod.
I'm just wondering which 4.3 ROM you've got it to work on? With 4.1.2 it NEEDS to be stock ROM and kernel for sky go to work. If I upgrade I want to get a ROM without knox, but any custom ROM won't work.
Please let me know as right I'm sticking to 4.1.2.
Thanks

There weren't any custom rom's available for the 7105 that were stock with knox/location lock removed when I last checked (may be different now?). I just used the nordic rom from sammobile.
If there's none available I think you'll need to wait for a dev to rip the rom and remove knox if you don't want it. Unless you have the time and skills to diy I got the skills but not the time, unfortunately
As I said, I'm not bothered about knox at the moment. I was more bothered by location lock, but I've not had any issue so far.

Why not just flash the bootloader from DN3 it works with all the official roms and is knox free?

Yeah I will probably do that at some point.
I'm assuming I can restore my nandroid backup to 4.1.2 if I'm not happy?
The xposed mod unfortunately didn't work... Thanks anyway

Some apps are funny as to what they decide is a security risk. Sky are so far up Apple's arse they tend to look for anything that's NOT as the manufacturer released as a security issue. It's actually bollocks but try telling them that.
My other Note 2 is rooted and running 4.3 without all the bs. But most of the apps I need simply won't install/run due to idiotic requirements of the app provider. Hence why I have a 2nd note 2 which has been rooted but I had to unroot and reset the flash counter to get these apps to work. Guess Sammy aren't too fussed, they did get 2 sales from me lol

'K bro let me figure out what's the situation. Tell me how & when exactly did this happen. After you flashed a new rom or some update or something. Also which rom and all you've flashed in the past before and after wifi issues started????
Sent from my SM-G800H using Tapatalk

Actually I can't tell cause I got it used, it was with stock official 4.4.2
It worked sometimes, most of time not, or just gave a fake WiFi Signal..like it says it's connected, but actually no Internet.
So I Flashed another stock official rom via Odin, got same results, then I tried flashing some fixes I found around the Internet, the ones you put in PDA and flash, it worked for sometime then stopped..
Rooted and tried deleting efs, no luck.
Lastly I Flashed 4 Files factory ROM 4.4.2 with its pit file.. It didn't work.
Of course I've tried it on other routers..
So no matter what I do it stays on "Saved, Secure"
It's really weird thing as Bluetooth and Hotspot are both working..

Don't get me wrong but in your first post you said "different stock ROMs" later you said "another official stock ROM", dude as far as I know there's only one stock ROM for every device, it may have different Android versions like 4.3 or 4.4
: sent from a Payphone using Tapatalk

Okay so let me tell you what happened with me was something similar issue.
I flashed the GeNxt N4 rom and after that it is instructed to flash Deds kernel but cwm is buggy and it behaves weirdly so you cannot return to recovery to flash kernel and rom withing the same boot into recovery without reboot.
So i changed roms but to my surprise i had wifi issues in all of 'em. So i used philz recovery and flashed N4 rom with the Deds kernel and finally fixed.
So maybe yours the same case. The previous owner did something similar and wifi issue could'nt fix so he gave to you.

Do on Gennxt. Cuz what i think is the problem is previously this rom was maybe flashed on your device without Deds kernel as you say someone else used it before and the bug is showing up on every rom since it was not fixed.
Again i am just trying to guess what the problem is. Hope it helps
