Changing Phone's Origin country for Samsung pay - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Recently, I've bought a new phone online. and i was unaware that Samsung Pay rewards cant be transfer if the phone origin is different.
here's some info,
New Phone : Samsung Note 8 (Singapore Set)
Old Phone : Samsung Note 5 (Malaysia Set)
I know that any rooting action could trip KNOX and then i am unable to use samsung pay anymore.
So, is there any chance that I can change my current phone's origin country to be same as my old phone?
or is there anyway i can download Samsung Pay app that match my old phone?
this problem literally give me headache as i am enjoying using samsung pay and i have collected quite a few points back then. It is so disappointment thinking my point is gonna be wasted.
I will post the CSC Code given by Phone INFO apps on both phone later

Hey there. I just changed my CSC and it works. My KNOX still 0x0 (means okay) and I can use samsung pay already.
Here's what ive done:
1) reset the phone by using Factory Reset with your simcard inside
2) reset your phone once
3) open dialpad and type *#272*IMEI#
4) Chose your required CSC and proceed. The phone will restart itself.
5) Now you have it and try open your samsung pay app to see if it successful or not. Alternatively you can download "info phone ☆samsung☆" at google play store to see your data.
Note : some phone might not be able to do this. J have no idea why.
Note2: all your data will be WIPE OFF. So please do some backup first.

i did it change of csc code on note 8 , excellent works , good
Now i can answer all your question , i have re searched all the issues,,
to know which region or phone model , imie info to see , use phone info app
i order in dubai , uae , note 8 - sm-n950f and also i have dual sim sm-n950f duos, if you take it to india or other region and use dail code #*272*imie code * it wont happen , so samsung pay or any apps etc for india region will not work or if polant or other as its xsg when u see in phone info app
and to change your css to ins without trigger knox or warrenty ,,
so simple steps . use samfirm_0.3.4 and download the original stock firmware for the region INS or what ever you need which u want to shift to
then use odin3-v3.12.7 and then flash u r stock firm ware mobiile by selecting all files as normally what every site says
once ok pass , disconnect the cable and put which ever region sim card you flash with , this is important then it restarts twice and switch u totally to INS (that is india my case ) or else it will stick to UAE ,, trust me on this
and it works perfect and wonderfull for note 8 , i have no issues , all info and imie and things are great

So, we have to reset the phone twice?
Maybe it just works on the international version.

Hello Hafeez, I have been wanting to enable VoLTE functionality on my Galaxy Note 8 N9500 Duos(Qualcomm Snapdragon) bought from UAE. Though its from UAE I was given a N9500 Version which is a Honkong / Chinese version of the phone. I am in India and want to use Samsung pay and also VoLTE.
Samsung pay would only take me to Install Honkong version of samsung pay.
Is it possible to flash a INS (Indian) firmware on this phone ?

Hi I have the same phone but I'm in Malaysia I need to use Samsung Pay and VoLte. Did you find a solution?

we can get VOLTE working in INDIA by rooting and enabling some settings in IMS.

Once you have rooted you device, it will trigger Knox and disable all Samsung's propritory software.

[Noob](N950FD) Q1-Change Samsung Pay Country ; Q2-Mixed PDA/CSC?

Expecting to received the Note 8 (SM-N950FD) in the next days...
Believe the Phone's Origin country gonna be another country other than Australia (It was listed "Direct Import" by a Australian Retailer) Link FYI
So I'm planning to download the Australian Stock Firmware ready
Just before taking action, would like to ask a few questions:
Q1) To make Samsung Pay works (in Australia), I only need to following this -->POST<-- instead of replacing PDA/SCS? Right
Q1.5) if above is right, is there any need/benefit to replace the firmware to XSA (Australia)?
-->This firmware<--
Q2) Does it work flashing combination of different PDA & CSC under different Country Section of Sammobile.com?
For example using PDA: N950FXXU2BQKG (12/12, it's not listed under XSA) (LINK)with N950FOLN1AQHF (Australian CSC)(LINK) ???
If ull have by default Samsung Pay, there is no actual need for making any change at all... If all works well, then leave it as it is... Unless it does not.... I have it by default on unbranded and unlocked N950F DS... Also OEM unlock is checked from the day 1...

Flashing SM-N960W Canadian firmware on a SM-N960FD UAE phone for samsung pay?

Hi,
I recently bought a Note 9 (SM-N960FD) from Duabi and went back to Canada. Now Samsung Pay is not working here at all. It gives me an error message that it is unable to connect to server.
I have been looking for solutions around for the past 2 days with no luck.
What I reached is that I have to change the CSC of my phone (which seems to be a much more complicated process than just flashing a firmware with ODIN). And some suggested that this will be of no use as my phone is exynos and Samsung Pass will not work in Canada unless it is a Snapdragon phone!!
Also the model is different here in Canada. It is SM-960W (with XAC as the unlocked version).
What do I do? I want samsung pay to work on my phone. Shall I change the CSC and flash the Canadian firmware? Is it Okay to do that with the Canadian firmware designed for a different model (960W and not the 960FD)
Please advice.
Thanks
sammobile firmware to change csc
hello,
I was in a similar case when i bought my note 9. It was from Taiwan and I am from Spain.
I flashed the spain firmware from sammobile
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/recent/
and now my Samsung pay and other apps work natively. I was told by Samsung Taiwan that flashing other csc can cause incompatibility, so take that in mind because although it may not seem real, the different versions of smartphones have different hardware.
Research a little bit from the forums.
I had the sm-n960f/ds and i installed the software from the sm-n960f from Spain.
Also, install cpu-z so that you know well what chip is installed inside and more info that could help you to fix this issue.
This is only informative, I don't take any responsibility of any damage.

unfortunately you cannot flash different model firmware on different chip.
so ure stuck. the only way id see ure spay working again might be using a vpn and choosing one of the region phone is from. but id doubt this would be a good long term solution. but as a proof of concept, it might be nice to try.

there is a difference between spay for watches and spay for phones. not everyone has a watch. please read dr. ketan's rom thread title extremely very carefully. and then read the contents of the thread with just as much care.
reading is key.

Does the Korean version has the Chinese csc in it ? If yes when you put a Chinese sim card, or every other country that is supported from the rom, then it asks if you want to change the csc to the country of the sim card on the first reboot. If you haven't accept it then you have to reset the phone to the factory settings to get asked again . Without root but it changes only the 3rd csc the rest stays on the original csc
"Sorry forgot to remove signature autoadd on the app"

But the issue is that, Samsung pay, health, and pass are not working since the phone's Knox warranty is void, that's why I wanted to root it.

Question Changin rom

Hello guys, I just got the ultra, the model is the G998B/DS.
Im from Portugal, and i think i have the german variant. I have two questions.
1- How can i confirm that it is the german one? In the app Phone Info, doesnt say anything in the country part.
2- Since it is not the portuguese one, can i flash the Portuguese rom? (this rom doesnt even say galaxy s21 ultra when turning on. And say "Hallo" when turning on and se you later in german when turning off
First you can check the CSC in About phone - Software information - Service provider software version.
Yes, S21 only mentions Samsung Galaxy in the boot animation.
Mine also came with a branded ROM, but decided it's easier for me to change the CSC with Samkey, than to flash a ROM with another CSC.

How do you do that? with Samkey.
Never heard of it.
Thank you for the reply
Here goes (adapt to needed CSC. Probably OPT in your case):
go to www.samkey.org and download the SamKEY software and Samsung Drivers packages
install both (duh)
go to ebay and search 'SamKEY Credits' - buy whichever you want. You only need 1 credit for a CSC change, but I bought 2 just in case I ballsed it up...
wait for the details to be delivered. The guy I used was in the US, so didn't get my login details until about 3pm UK time. They will send you a username and password to log in to SamKEY
Open SamKEY and log in using your shiny new password
enable USB debugging through the developers menu (tap build number in software 7 times)
remove all lock screen security (pin, pattern, fingerprint and face)
Remove your simcard(s) from your phone and connect the USB cable
type your desired CSC in the 'CSC' box - for the UK the unlocked and open CSC is BTU
click 'change CSC'
Your phone will reboot at the end and will boot up now carrying the new CSC. It shouldn't wipe your user data and won't invalidate warranty or KNOX.

Question How to change Samsung Pay Region for Galaxy S21 Ultra?

I have recently moved From India to France. Unfortunately I can't seem to add my cards here since Samsung Pay only accepts cards from India. I created a new Samsung account in France but that didn't seem to make any difference.
Is there any way I can change the location for my Samsung Pay for it to work here? I read somewhere that I need to change my CSC region or something? Do I have to download the France firmware to do that or is there another way? Worried I might mess up my phone if I mess with it haha. I tried factory resetting it with my French sim but it didn't make any difference? Is it possible to do it like that/ did I miss a step or something or is flashing firmware the only way to go about this? Would appreciate any and all suggestions and tips so i don't break my phone haha as I'd like to keep it functioning and under warranty.
Also if i need to flash a new firmware,
1. Do i download the France(XEF) firmware or France(SFR) firmware(since the sim card i bought here is Red by SFR).
2. Is the PDA id basically the build number of my phone? since I'd need to download that specific firmware i think.
Sorry for the stupid questions. Would appreciate all the help I can get as I've never done this before.

My AP ends with AUJ7
im guessing i need to match that to the PDA of the firmware im downloading?
for SFR there is no such PDA that ends with AUJ7 but in the XEF version there is. Does that mean i can only download the XEF version?

Hi
Flash a firmware from Europe , so you have available a french CSC
Then You need to change your active CSC to one from France , at the moment (without root) you have to use a pay service (samkey) , after that you can use you french account for samsung pay and add credit cards from that country
