I've searched the INCS forums and can't seem to find any stock rom for the Hong Kong version of this phone.
There was one which I managed to download, but when flashed it would keep switching off and on at the green HTC screen, so it doesn't seem to work properly.
So does anyone have any working Hong Kong stock rom or is that area too limited to small to get one since it only gives Traditional/Simplified Chinese and English as language options...

Thanks for the link but it goes to a different rom, the current one for HK bought phones are 2.12.708.4 with radio being 20.2805.30.085au and the link you gave was for 2.12.707.5 which I think is for southern asia phones (i.e. thailand, singapore, malaysia.
Thanks for the links anyways but unfortunately both download sites are "unavailable in my area" (Hong Kong).
As far as i know, there are some kinds of firmware that contain Sony Entertainment Network services in their media apps
Such as Music Unlimited integrated in Walkman app and Video Unlimited in Movie app
The region includes Western Europe countries, Australia, and of course global version
I always choose global firmware to flash for my C6902 and root
But this time Sony seems to not put SEN services in the newest global 757 firmware cuz I don't see icons in Walkman app home menu...
Even though I've installed the Music Unlimited app from Google Play, these icons and options still don't appear...
How could I make Music Unlimited service available again in Walkman app? I really need it most
Should I dump the Walkman app from the older global firmware and replace it?
Is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.snei.np.android.account installed?

It's been installed, and upgraded to the latest version according to its instructions. But still no sign of MU services in my Walkman app...
Check out this thread:

Basically, as stated in the forum post, the option won't be available if MU service isn't available in the region the phone was purchased from.

Thank you, I've figured it out myself. The flashable zip that I used to root my device was based on Singapore firmware, not the global firmware as it claimed.
Just got myself a Mi5 from banggood.
Came with fake rom full of rubbish of course.
So I flashed it with the official global rom.
Upon setting up, I couldn't find Australia in the region section....? And not even the USofA ...
My question is, how do you set your region to one that's not on the list?
Or for all of yas Aussies, which region did u set ur phone to?
Thanks

I use morelocale2 for that, if you have root just select language and locale in the app, without root you need to grant permission with PM-command (via adb) first, it's all described in the app. That way I can have english language but still use sweden as locale.

That is something you don't have to care about. It's only for the regional configuration like AM/PM-24h parameters and so. It doesn't affect GPS or any other thing (correct me if I'm wrong). You may want to select India because of english.
When I bought it, I used to select some South American countries because Spain was not on the list.
Yes i know it doesn't affect anything, except the kind of apps u get pre installed and the bookmarks on the browser.
But it'd be nice to set your locale to where you actually are.
I guess i just have to deal with it, because i don't want to go to the rooted path.
Got my Mi 5 from Banggood 2 days ago to Aus and has no issues with bloatware? I personally set the locale to South Africa and have been sweet. Intend to flash Lineage however. Cheers

U must be lucky.
Mine, the moment it booted, pop ups every where like fireworks...
Hello all,
I recently purchased an unlocked Note 8 (model number SM-N950F). One of the reasons I decided to make the jump for the Note 8 was for Samsung Pay, but as I'm currently discovering, my model is preventing me from being able to use the service. I'm in the US, but the phone was designed for South East European markets and therefore won't allow the Pay app to work in the US.
I read somewhere about a possibility of switching the firmware on the phone to get the service running (effectively switching the region by switching the country's firmware). I, unfortunately, was unable to find any concrete evidence that it would be possible or work in my case. I decided to turn to the powerful minds of XDA to figure this out.
What I'm looking at is possibly installing a different country's firmware (possible issue with the US variant having a Snapdragon processor as opposed to the Exynos processor that my variant has) or I thought maybe rooting the device and changing the model number in the device files to a US variant would work. Would either of these work?
Thanks for the help!
I read somewhere on here that you can Odin flash Australian 950F firmware and that will allow you to use American credit cards etc with Samsung Pay.
Can't vouch for it since i have a rooted 950N
Have the same problem. Using my S3 now for Pay. Would love to have this answered.
After some further research, just as I suspected, rooting the phone trips the Knox efuse, which will also prevent the Samsung Pay application from working, so the only viable option that I know of would be to flash (using odin not TWRP) another country's firmware.
You only need one friend whit us versions to send you the pay framework apk and pay US apk. Sebd me pm. I have US tmo version. My fruend have the same problem and I sent him the apkS and it worked
I just bought an unlocked Note 8 N950F that had the Singapore CSC and I also couldn't use Samsung Pay. I switched to the Australia XSA and Samsung Pay works perfectly in the US. The only thing is that it doesn't have Samsung Rewards since it's a US promotion. AMEX and Whitepages also work. I just went to Sammobile.com and downloaded the latest XSA firmware. Going from one stock ROM to another does not trigger Knox either. Hope that helps.
Samsung Pay Mexico

How did you install those apks? I got PaymentFramework.apk (com.samsung.android.spayfw - Samsung Pay Framework) and SamsungPayStub.apk (com.samsung.android.spay - Samsung Pay) from another firmware but... "App not installed"
My issue is amex doesn't work on sampay UAE (other Banks do).
I started by flashing entire roms but eventually I have flashed just the csc of various roms from sammobile. Either Sam pay won't work after each flash or it still only works with the banks i could do on the UAE CSC it came with. So it doesn't change anything.
Did anyone find a way? I have the n950n Korean version and it says I need to insert a Korean SIM. I even tried with the original SIM to set it up and it won't authorize without a working SIM. I contacted Samsung UK and they said it wasn't possible. Not sure if they said that because it would be too in depth. Just seeing if there is a way to do all of this as I would love to have Samsung pay actually work!
You maybe able to use Samsung Pay on the N950F if the card, which you wish to register used with Samsung Pay is supported.
Hi people, I am not advanced as many of you here, need advice how to activate Beta from non supported countries like mine, Serbia.
I tried vpn to Germany, UK, USA, after removing SIM and deleting data from galaxy apps, google store and reinstalling samsung members, but to no avail, everything works except the Beta part, since it actually requires SIM card from supported region.
My next step is to put in German prepaid sim and try steps again to see if registration is possible, do u guys have any better advice? Cheers
I think you need to change csc to Germany and install eSim from Germany finaly use germany proxy or vpn

I have an s20 ultra here, i already changed my CSC before from EGY to DBT, do you think adding an e-sim could work for the upcoming A12 beta or does it have to be a physical SIM?
How easy is it to get an e-sim when you are in a completely different country?
You dont need a german SIM...
Use international sim card instead and change the country in your sim settings...
Thats my old guide from back in the days of android 9 and still works fine for everyone
My international sim is from lycamobile and was free so for anyone that wants to try it please feel free to do so☺
Well Germany is 30km away from me, so I will drive there and opt me in. I did this for the Samsung Health Monitor app and it worked.
I placed in my friends german sim, used vpn for germany also, cleared cashe and data for samsung apps and members app and still no opt for beta... I give up, **** this

YES I GUVE UP TOO IT JUST DOESENT WORK!!!!!
Just install the firmware with adb. You won't get updates and will have to install updates via adb every time, but it's better than giving yourself a headache trying to figure out how to gain access to the beta. You might also be kicked out even if you figure it out if your vpn is turned off.

It is EXTREMELY easy bud. If you do it right, you literally just have to copy a file to a folder, then open an app, type or copy a command, select an option on your phone and select another command. 5 steps. Follow a YouTube guide.
You gotta start somewhere, right
