Hello fellow xda members. Looking around the forums, I noticed many questions posted regarding Samsung pay, so I will create this thread to keep all information and questions regarding Samsung Pay in one location, rather than spread across different threads.
The following are questions that I have seen the most, with simple answers that keep being asked time after time. If you have other questions feel free to ask.
1) Q: Will samsung pay work with root?
A:

5) Q: I am not rooted and my Knox counter is not tripped, why am I not able to open and use Samsung Pay?
A:
Most likely, you have disabled a package which is dependent for Samsung Pay. Make sure you know what packages you have disabled, and make adjustments if needed. This includes any Knox packages!

6) Q: I am not rooted, Knox counter is not tripped, or have any disabled packages, and still cannot use Knox.
A:
Try performing a factory reset. Your current status must be official! It could be set to custom, factory resetting may set it back to official.

7) Q: Can I use an xposed package to hide root & custom status to enable Samsung Pay?
A:
Not AFAIK

8) Q: Samsung Pay does not work with my cards, even though its visa, mastercard, etc.
A:
Not every card is currently supported, but more will be added soon! You will have to be patient and give it time. This is much more complicated than many of us know, and Samsung will add support when they know things are good to go. Check here for more information on current support and more questions about Samsung Pay http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/samsung-pay#compatibility

Hi,
I would like to upgrade to 4.3 but without installing Knox ...
So the Galaxy Project ROM seems to be good and let me make a backup and go back to my old ROM if necessary.
But in the list of removed package, I can see some package with "Knox*".
So if I install the patch "REMOVED SAMSUNG APPS", will Knox be installed ?
Thanks.
P.S. : I don't have permission to post at the Galaxy Project.
I maybe wrong about this but this is my understanding.
Knox is only present in the new bootloader of 4.3. If you are currently on 4.1.2 which does not have the knox bootloader you should not be worried about knox. A custom rom based on 4.3 usually doesnt have the newer bootloaders. So u can just flash over your 4.1.2 and keep the current bootloader. Knox apps are pre installed in 4.3. And by removing those apps will not trigger knox counter as you do not have any to trip.

OK but here I want to add apps in which Knox is listed.
So I understand that Knox will not be installed when installing the main custom ROM,
but will it be installed when installing the "REMOVED SAMSUNG APPS" ?

Sorry, I don't undestand english wery well ; so I was not sure.
I thought that installing a app could change the boot loader. It is not so. Good.

OK. Thank's.
Chance the link is on page 2 beacause it would'nt be easy to find it on page 52 ...
1. In order for knox to be tripped you need to have a knox bootloader which is available in 4.3 OTA update or a full firmware download from sammobile.
2. If you are on 4.1.2 now and flashing a custom rom via CWM or TWRP, it does not install bootloaders. So you remain on 4.1.2 bootloader which is knox FREE. Only your rom, modem and kernel is updated to 4.3 or to what the rom developer has preinstalled.
3. By installing "Samsung Removed Apps" doesnt trip the knox counter if u are coming from my point num 2. It basically just install the apps not the bootloader. So knox will not be tripped even if knox apps are installed. Its just a normal app which u can remove later on with no issues.
4. Lastly i have a note 3 as well which i couldnt care less about knox and tripped it the day i bought it. My previous note 2 was never faulty for the whole time i was using it which was more than a year. Get over knox and trip it. Doesnt make a difference. Makes your life easier by not being afraid actually.
Cheers and flash away.

Thank you.
Very clear now.
Hi, I'm new to the Knox thing so my 2 questions are
1) What is Knox?
2) What harm do I do to my phone if I root and trip the Knox counter?
Thank you for your patience.

Not sure if this will trip Knox counter or not. I'll let other users here who are more familiar with this particular method chime in.

Chainfire's root method always trips the Knox counter.
Existing thread here
I have a rooted s5 with lollipop 5.0. I managed to root it without tripping Knox by downgrading and using towelroot, then using mobile Odin to install a rooted version of lollipop. I followed the guide here here
Is there a similar sneaky way I can install xposed without tripping Knox? If I do it the above way using mobile Odin, will it trip knox?

If you planned not to use apps like Samsung pass, Samsung pay, secret folder. Then you can root, but otherwise if you plan to use these later on. Then don't root your device, doing that will permanently trigger the safety thing in the KNOX chip and once that happens the Knox chip will be permanently disabled and will not work ever again, so since KNOX chip is disabled then these apps wont work either ever again. Since they require the Knox chip to function.
