So I just bought a 920i version from eBay (monoprice store). Brand new unlocked. I am on at&t. Downloaded the Samsung pay apk and after signing into my Samsung account via Samsung Pay. After signing in I am getting this message "You must use your own Samsung Account to use Samsung Pay". Well, it is my own account.
So question: Has anyone got Samsung Pay working on N920I with a US carrier (more specifically at&t). Do you have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance!

I'm in the same boat. I've got an SM-N920I that I'm using on AT&T. It's from Australia, with a region code of XSA (meaning sold SIM-free from general retail channels, not from a carrier).
Unfortunately, it's more involved than just installing an APK. In addition to just the app, there are library files that need to be placed on the system partition. Even if you get those libraries on there, you may still run into problems.
In my case, Samsung has said they're planning on launching Samsung Pay in Australia in the first quarter of 2016, so I'm happy to just wait for a software update to my phone that enables it. If your N920I is from Singapore, New Zealand, or Papua New Guinea, there's no telling how long it might be before Samsung launches it in those countries. So, if Samsung Pay matters a lot to you, I'd say to just flash some Australia firmware, and just wait for a software update early in 2016.

Oh wow! Its much more screwed than I thought. Samsung Pay has been getting a lot of good feedback and I started getting excited about it, until I saw your correct explanation. Thanks!
How about my version of n920i? Will I get it or should I flash another official rom? If yes..... Which one? Thanks

Just found the way this morning googling around. I'm on XSA as well.
It sucks that you can't have best of all worlds, even after paying for an unlocked device in full. I wanted timely Samsung updates (no go at&t). I wanted tethering without rooting (no go at&t). I wanted Unlocked. All good with N920i and then I REALLY want the Samsung Pay....f***. Don't even know I will have the phone until the Q1 2016.
Here it is...
What firmware can I install in order to have samsung pay

Well, here's the problem. Samsung does not sell unlocked, SIM-free devices at general retail in the US. The only way to get an unlocked Samsung device here is to buy one from an importer like Expansys or one of the countless eBay sellers who get them.
Because of that situation, the game is changed a bit. Yes, we're buying an unlocked device, but we're buying one that was not intended for use in the US. Its radio bands, apps, etc. are all tailored toward the country or region where the device was originally intended to be sold. Notice how there's a video call button in the phone app? No US carrier supports that. Notice how the phone supports LTE-A, but not on the AT&T band pairs? That's because it's tweaked to use the LTE-A band pairs that carriers in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore use. As for the ROM and apps, if you're on XSA as well, then you know. The ROM is as light and bare as a Samsung ROM is going to get, but it's still intended for Australia. So, until Samsung Pay launches in Australia, I think we're out of luck. :/

Samsung Pay is not presently available on any N920I firmware. Judging from your CSC, you're running one of the Singapore firmware variants. But, if you want to get it the fastest, I'd recommend flashing the Australia firmware. The N920I is only sold in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Papua New Guinea. Of all those countries, Australia is the only one where Samsung has actually said that they plan on launching Pay (right now, Q1 2016). So, once it launches in Australia, you'd get a software update that would enable Samsung Pay.
So in theory, if we flash a Tmobile firmware, will Pay work? Will have the bloatware but I'm not too worried about bloat. Can be disabled with Package Disabler Pro
Edit: Sorry, I was stupid. the two have different model numbers.

Not going to happen. You're dealing with two completely different model of phones. The T-Mobile firmware is for SM-N920T. We have an SM-N920I. You cannot flash N920T firmware on an N920I. Odin and the phone's security policy won't allow it.
What a damn disappointment..... Vodafone wallet it's not working because note 5 was not officially launched in many countries so it won't get certified soon.... Android pay is only for USA, samsung pay also.... What a f*cking joke.... I was hoping to pay with my phone. What's the point of a flagship smartphone when certain apps and features I can't use....

It's not that cut and dry. The way Android Pay and Samsung Pay work, they have to work with local banks in each individual country. One worldwide mass rollout just isn't feasible. There's way too much legal and political risk.
Really? That's your explanation? Come on bro.... Google wallet is available for years... It never came to Europe, and Android Pay will never come also.
I don't know your country of origin but.... I sent 2 weeks ago over 1000€ to get the note 5.... And I'm just sick and tired of waiting to use certain features.

Unfortunately in the UK, the only way to get the Deep Sea Blue variant would be to buy the N9500. I understand that this was built specifically for China markets, but it should have the right network frequencies for the UK. I was just wondering if anyone has bought one of these before, and whether there's any quirks in the device compared to the UK model? Cheers

Yes. Note 8 N-9500 is Hong Kong/China version. I have been using it for 3 weeks now, but I would not recommend it.
I have Hong Kong version. (China version doesn't support Google Play Store. Avoid it!)
Here are some negative things that I found out so far.
1. It works perfectly with UK network frequencies, however, you can't enable VoLTE or wifi cailling.
This is really downside. it keeps saying my current software does not support VoLTE.
2. It doesn't have Samsung Pass. Some apps require it to log in with your bio info (cf. finger print etc.), so it is bit annoying.
3. Android Pay works fine.
I have not use Samsung Pay yet, but Samsung Pay is registered as Hong Kong so you will get promotions from Hong Kong market only and you can't change it.
4. If you contact customer service through handset it automatically connect with Samsung Hong Kong Service centre. ha ha
I have tried to change it with other CSC roms such as Europe versions, but Note 8 N-9500 uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 not Exynos as Europe or Korean version.
At this point as far as I know it is impossible to use other CSC roms.

I've also got N9500 deep sea blue, the only reason I bought this version was for the colour!
I quite like it but would like to have volte

No I haven't. As far as I know EU firmware doesn't work with this SM-N9500.

If I do, I will post it here. cheers!

I have the China variant of the N9500 in Deep sea blue
I I've had it for 3 months with no problems. I saw from one of the other posts that there had been some issues they had found with theirs. Just to comment on mine Samsung pay initially wouldn't let me load a card and work but now it works fine with no issues. Google play was installed and works without issue also. Unfortunately I have not been able to get VoLTE or WiFi calling to work as the firmware installed does not support the former and the latter, I'm still trying to get to work, but neither I or EE can come up with a reason why it doesn't. I've also not been able to install a European /UK firmware due to the Exynos/qualcom incompatability issue. mind you there are only a few reasons why you'd want to install the firmware as the phone works fine with the firmware installed bar the issues I've mentioned and f you can live without WiFi calling or VoLTE then there's no reason to use it. They are a great bit of kit as I they come with a much larger internal storage than is available over here. This was the reason I got mine in the first place as I store loads of books and music as well as videos and as an amateur photographer alongside my DSLR I still use this for photos as the shots are quite comparable in lots of cases. I hope this has helped, oh and one more thing, I i got mine new from a online phone store via ebay I ended up paying about £750-800 for it which was cheaper than the lower storage version that you can get in the UK so that's another plus

i wonder if the wifi calling would work on the proper csc for n9500's or if like my provider, regardless of what mods are done to the phone's software, if its not a device purchased from them, they black list imei. well i should say they white list theirs and simply block everything else.
people on rooted 9500:
have you manualy extracted csc from relevant provider firmware and copyed to system/omc?

that there is no actual reason why it shouldn't work. that's the most annoying thing. its just so usefull to have.

I want to buy a galaxy note 5 from Amazon while I'm in America and use it in a different country where I live.
The device I am considering is the sm-n920a. I've checked the cellular bands and they Mach.
I'm have a few questions since it is not the international version or the sm-n920c that is sold in my country.
1. I heard people saying that it won't fully support my language since it is an att phone. It seemed odd to me because I thought that if the international version supports the language any module should.
2. Will there be a problem with OTA updates?
3. At the price point of 360$, is the note 5 really the best phone to buy?
Thanks

I have an unlocked AT&T Note 5 and an international one, both work perfectly even though I live outside America. And about updates I am not sure but you can always search for custom roms with the latest features for the device on the forum. And overall the n5 is a great phone in my opinion, has everything you need in a phone and more.
Hi,
I received dual sim version of NOte9. It is unfortunately SM-N9600 verision, which I can see is LATM region. It came with uk charging brick though. ANy chances to chave the region changed (snapdragon) obviosly, preferably to European?
That is not possible as the N9600 is designed for the Asian market. That said it should work perfectly in the UK as it is a GSM device. However you won't be able to use Samsung Pay
It was sold on amazon.co.uk described as International version. And the phone was equipped with 3 pin UK charger, which I believe was a false advertising and re-boxed. I contacted the seller, but I will also file a claim on Amazon. Disappointing. I am getting Chinese notifications from time to time, that's why I wanted to flash English language based Rome, in terns of region. Not possible than?
That's seem strange, I ordered and received the N9600 version (particularly dual sim blue 8/512).
I live in Europe, where the official is exynos version.
My phone works flawlessly, no Chinese notifications, during initial setup I had all language choices.
Only some particular services provided by my local GSM services are not supported (like wifi calling or volte)

Well hong Kong and latin America so sort of international.
If your getting Chinese stuff on there even though you said yours is latin it must be running chinese firmware. Id suggest flashing latin america firmware to try and get rid of that annoyance.
Use fw.updato.com and get a Latam version of the firmware to flash in Odin. That'll get rid of Smart Manager and the other Chinese crap.

I had what I assume was a Chinese notification on my phone the other day, in one of the Samsung apps. My phone is an International N960F/DS supplied directly from Samsung UK and running 2 UK SIMs so it may not be firmware dependant...
He has a n9600 not 960f....that phone can comes from HK or latin america.
In his case yes it can be firmware.

hey there, just wondering, did you buy that version for root?
also, do you have any issues with speeds /carrier aggregation?
I bought this version for gpu performance.
LTE and overall data speed and band aggregations works flawlessly. No issues at all.
Exynos was not capable in gaming and everyday smoothness and speed in every day scenario

HI All, I am ordered the note 9 from PDAPLAZA the N9600, to be able to use dual sim. I live in Canada I will be using it with Telus and rogers. Looking at the forums here it sounds like there are some issues using this model with the networks in Canda.
Can someone please who bought this model in Canada comment if the phone work fine with the networks. Also any limitation like play store, pay app, or otheres.
Also, if someone bought it from PDAPLAZA can you comment if the phone comes with English or Chinese?
thanks for the help

I got the SM-N9600 from PDAPlaza. It works fine, but the one thing I'm looking into right now is how to change the country code easily to a Canadian one without completely flashing the phone (as the firmware available for that specific model doesn't have a Canadian option, so I'd have to go with SM-N960W firmware, and I'm not sure if flashing with that version of firmware on a model number that doesn't match will have any negative effects). It's not a big deal, except that Samsung Pay doesn't work and assumes I'm in China. The other option I've read is to just keep it as it is and use Google Pay instead.
If you come across anything on that topic, let me know.

Thank you for the info. If it just samsung pay is the limitation then it should be fine. Can I ask you when you got the phone, was it sealed? Also, was it in English when you first set it up? and did it have a US adapter.

I just got it in the mail on Wednesday (ordered it on Sunday, so pretty quick turn around over the long weekend). Everything was totally sealed and when you start it up you can select English right off the bat. I just got rid of the additional Chinese keyboard language settings and made it either English (US or Canada). The charger is an Asian one, but they send an adapter with it. Also, the cord is USB, so it can be used with any other plug-in. I'm not sure if that affects the fast charging, so I'll probably get an induction charger instead anyways. If you're switching over from a different brand, the Samsung Switch app is awesome. I just finished it and got everything, including my messages transferred from my iPhone.

I got the 128 GB model.
Hey there, thanks for the helpful info. Just womdering, have you noticed anything megative with network speeds? And I presume you got that model so you can root, correct? Have you had any luck? I saw the whole guide and everything, just curious if it was worked out for a canadian as well.
I received the 512GB from PDAplaza, it is great! for some reason, I found it much faster than the unlocked one 512Gb i bought from amazon US Version. Please note the device comes with Chinese first, you need to change the language, samsung pay and samsung members are stuck to hong kong.
I got the N9600 from Hong Kong and I am with Fido network right now. As soon as booted it up it was all in chinese but quickly changed to english, so no problems there. However, sadly it only runs on 4G network, no LTE

You sure it's not just showing 4G instead of 4G LTE?
