I recently installed the Bad Boyz 5.5 ROM and a notification popped up that my device is eligible for 25GB of additional Google Drive space, but below that is says that my device couldn't be verified and I should contact a representative. Found some info regarding this here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/updating-htc-sense-55-claim-25gb-free-google-drive-space
BUT... since we're not supposed to have Sense 5.5 yet, I'm not too keen on contacting anyone. Anyone else get this message?
Just got that notice on blink feed today. It showed me the same message as well.

thanks for the heads up, this is badass. maybe i'll switch to Gdrive instead of dropbox
Even though i didn't get the 40gb they offer 15gb no strings attached

You need a locked bootloader in order to be verified.

So since I'm s-off, I can just do the command to re-lock the phone and then I should be able to get the extra storage?

I tried this already and it didn't work... I'm pretty sure it's because our sense 5.5 roms don't have the official firmware for sense 5.5 we have modified sense 5 firmware

Motox gets 50 free gigs. Maybe it would work to add your account to an in-store demo, get the extra space then factory reset

Good idea, was checking one out at Best Buy yesterday, wish I would have thought of this.
According to the article, you need to have Sense 5.5 installed so it would appear that we'll have to wait until there's an OTA update before we can try to claim the additional space.
No, your bootloader needs to be unlocked in order ti claim the bonus. You can just relock the bootloader, claim it and relock again. The downside is that you'll loose all your data

Nofriendsbz3 already tried what you suggested with no luck. There's obviously more to it than the locked bootloader.
1. Go to a retailer of a droid mini or moto X with live demos. (I went to best buy)
2. Add your gmail account
3. Download, open google drive, accept free 50GB.
4. Remove your google account from demo phone.
5. Profit
That's a lot of space. Lol I can't even fill a 16g flash drive.

Funny story... I followed your suggestion on a Moto X at a Verizon store. Got the 50GB notifivation, but couldn't remove my account info from the phone. So I performed a factory reset, just as a sales rep walked up to ask if I had any questions. The phones is showing a "resetting screen" while the rep looks over my shoulder. I said something along the lines of "Oops... I think I hit wrong button.". I set down the demo phone and walk out of the store.
Got 66 GBs now, so no complaints!

Haha awesome. I almost had to do the same but demo mode wanted a password to reset. To remove account, go to settings,account, push your Gmail account where you can select what gets synced, then top right push the 3 dot menu and remove.

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.

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.

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.

You can't really unless u sell it to someone and they activate the phone under their account then once that is done they have to update the phone profile under settings- activate device- update profile

You should be able to do this. I was able to do it on my EVO, but obviously, this info MAY be out of date.
You will need your MSL though, and unless you're rooted, you'll need to call Sprint to get it anyways. As the mod in the linked thread points out, you might as well get their help with it since you'll have to call them anyways. My EVO was rooted so I've known my MSL all along.
