Hi All, I have a Note 8 model N950F. Turns out that i cannot earn rewards because of the model version. I won this phone through a raffle and requested an unlocked version. Unfortunately it turned out to be a UAE model. Is there any way that i can get rewards to work? I tried an older version of SPay and it worked for a while until i couldnt use it without going through the update, which removed the rewards again.
If i can get to rewards to work without a reflash that would be great? Else can some one help me with reflash to US version unlocked?
Did Samsung pay works fine on note 8 international version before the update? Because I am about to buy Korean version but I am afraid SP won't work. BUT if it will work if I flash USA SP that's fine with me and everytime will ask me to update then I will flash the latest APK SP to avoid the wrong update. So confirm that to me please!

Im not sure about the Korean version, but SPay was working for me just that I cant accumulate rewards. I think that is US device thing. SPay app is not setup by location, the device is. South Korea model will support SPay but without rewards again. How to make rewards work, on an international device, for US transactions is my question here.

Does Samsung pay and rewards works with older version of SP? Or just Samsung pay is only work?

SPay works, and rewards was working with an older app, thats how i was using it. but today there was an update that didnt allow me to use SPay till i updated it and i lost rewards feature.
I dont mean to be rude, but the thread is going off topic, please create a new one for your issue
That's good so you can download the latest APK update and it will work

Your device, SM-N950F, CAN'T be flashed to a SM-N950U version (US)!
Different processors!
You again...lol. Thanks for the reply.
Anyway to make SPay rewards work?
If I am mistaken please correct me so I'm not spreading false info here, but as I understand there are 2 problems with this: problem 1 is that the Korean version of the app won't let you use non-Korean cards or carriers, and problem 2 is that if you get the USA version of the app installed either A) it still won't work because the device is still region-set to Korea, and/or B) if you rooted to be able to change the settings and Google Play Store etc to USA this trips Knox which I believe renders Samsung pay useless on the device forever.
The only other-region fix for Samsung pay I've seen mentioned is that supposedly if you have a 950F unrooted you can use Odin to flash official 950F Australian firmware, and that version will accept USA credit cards. I do not have an F variant though so I can't personally vouch for that workaround, and my N is very much knox tripped.
So SPay works on my phone. Mine is UAE. It's just that all my promotions are UAE based even though I'm using in US and I receive no reward points. Any fix for that?

Can someone answer this question, he just wants rewards working again, seems the thread is going off topic from the original question.
Sent from my SM-N950F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I had the same issue and here's what I did
I had the same issue and complaint about the samsung pay.
I bought the dual sim variant N950F/DS(UAE firmware originally), and I knew the samsung pay won't be fully working in the US.
I tried a couple of things and finally working well even rewards.
1) Change firmware to AUS/UK. Otherwise, some debit/credit cards are not working.
The UAE firmware, for example, didn't work with AMEX, but Visa and Master were working.
2) Install Samsung pay and Samsung pay framework manually.
Download the latest APK and install it before executing/installing samsung pay.
Don't install it from the app market place(galaxy store or google play store).
Also, don't forget to turn the auto-update off from them.
3) If the Samsung pay updated, then install the latest version manually again.
I did this and rewards and deals are working well.
Only the 'Home' tab is not working.
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.

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 all,
I bought my Galaxy Note 9 mainly for Samsung Pay and just realized that there is a regional lock for Samsung Pay. (I don't care about other things like VoLTE or Wifi Calling).
My Note 9 is SM-N9600 and the CSC is TGY (Hong Kong).
I wonder whether there are any ways to change the CSC from Hong Kong to USA so that I can use Samsung Pay in US?
I have read lots of posts in this forum, but got no luck. There are some related threads:
for S8/S8+: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/guide-changing-csc-s8-s8-root-t3799045
for N960FD: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-n960fd-dual-sim-csc-change-oxm-t3841000
same question but no answer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/help/changing-csc-to-u1-usas-samsung-pay-t3801639
My understanding is that:
- To change the CSC (especially from SM-N9600 to SM-N960U), we must reflash the firmware.
- SM-N9600 does not have any firmware having USA CSCs.
- We can get the USA CSCs from N960U and put it into the firmware of N9600, and then flash it.
- However, the modified firmware will trigger Knox and hence make Samsung Pay unusable.
Are there any suggestions or tutorials on this?
For example, will applying the firmware of SM-N960U on SM-N9600 work?
Thanks!

You cant cross flash firmware from different device versions...ie N9600 vs N960... not happening.
Those of use who have the exynos version can flash US CSC files via twrp. I would think the same would be possible for the N9600.
I search the note 9 forums for the exynos method and go from there even though im not sure if just changing csc will allow sammy pay to work

Thanks for your reply. Actually, I don't think cross-flashing will work either.
My SM-N9600 uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon, not Exynos.
Another thought is that I checked the firmware for SM-N9600, and found there is a version for Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico is listed in the US's Samsung Pay Reward program.
I wonder whether I will be able to safely flash it, and use the Samsung Pay.

If you have an N9600 then yes you can flash any N9600 firmware. Whether or not pay works I cant say sorry
Probably you can try flash HK firmware but with US CSC?
But not 100% sure...
Did you try add adding the card? You would miss out on Samsung Rewards but it should work, myself and some other I have read about just added the card to Samsung Pay and it did work, it does for me. I just can't use and claim the rewards points.

Thanks! I think it may work.
However, what I want is the Samsung Rewards...
I heard a rumor that flashing the Mexico firmware and putting in a Mexican Sim card (off ebay) in before booting up would get Samsung Pay to work.
I want to test it, but I don't have a phone to test with
I have n9600 and have Samsung pay working is US. Just used appbackup and archived Samsung pay framework and Samsung pay from my TMo Note 8 and installed it on the Note9. Have TMo SIM and works fine. Now only if I can figure out a way to get wifi calling working.....

I believe the only way to do so is rooting your phone and using the following guide:

No way to do it as of today without root unfortunately.
I'm sorry but I was saying I've done it, not that it should be possible. Not only with my note 9 (N9600) but with my previous Note 8 (N9500) as well. So your statement seems to be not really correct.

I was able to install the US Saumsung Pay and log in. However, the home tab says that "You're offline".
Let me explain what I did:
- I downloaded App Backup Lite on my previous US S8 and then backed up Samsung Framework and Samsung Pay.
- I reset my Note 9 without installing Samsung Pay.
- I installed the backup Samsung Framework and Samsung Pay.
- When I installed Samsung Framework, the system said that "I upgraded the installed Samsung Framework".
- When I installed Samsung Pay, the system said that "I installed it".
- I opened Samsung Pay and logged in. The home page shows "You're offline", but the other pages look ok.
- I went into the setting in Samsung Pay and reset the app. However, it did not fix the problem.

I think this requires rooting the phone, which trips Knox and disables Samsung Pay.
I have heard about that you can use the SM-N9600 firmware but replace the CSC file from SM-N960U. Someone claims that he successfully did this on his note 7. However, I noticed that after S8, Samsung updates their bootloader and this way may brick the phone. Any idea?
Hi I bought BT version of galaxy watch 3. Everything is working great for now, only I tried to install samsung pay but I always get some error:
Tried this one:

Help mi to get Samsung pay to work.
Thank you
SM-R840 or SM-R850?
Btw, but you know it is not in all counies...
A
enabled
B
not working
For instance Germany.
DBT Phone + DBT GW3 = forget S Pay.
Best Regards
SM-R840
Okay.
Now if not Top Secret.
Country... better to know Sales Code aka CSC...
Example...
KOO is Korea... but seems Samsung Pay not work in Korea...
Working country is for example... USA... with Sales Code aka CSC aka active CSC:
Code:
XAR
If you are from US... so good chain to increase your luck is:
Samsung Phone with Sales Code from US
+
Watch with CSC from US
+
Valid allowed supported Credit Cards for Spay...
Because this is also 1 funtastic phenomenon... not all Cards are samsung Pay enabled as it seems...
If you wish to try CSC change... then Combination firmware and Stock Firmware allready leaked... but nobody tested yet... IMHO...
Only as info.
Best Regards
Did anyone figure out how to chnage region on GW3 yet?
Slovenia... As I know official Samsung pay is not available in Slovenia... But also google pay is not available and I installed it on my phone and it is working great
@Veles128
All I know is Samsung increased Security in Tizen 5.5...
But this means NOT... old tricks not work...
In theory all leaked what """we""" need.
Combination FirmwareS to have Root access...
Stock Firmware to get back to """Normality"""
My suggestion is to check first if Reading and Backup work in CSA partition...
This could be done without play with Firmware...
Attempt to copy to PC:
Code:
sdb pull /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
Code:
sdb pull /csa/imei/prodcode.dat
Attempt to show only:
Code:
sdb shell
Code:
cat /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
Code:
cat /csa/imei/prodcode.dat
Try and see if this is working...
Maybe Samsung protected CSA again like in old Gear S2 times...
Best Regards
Any option to get working google pay apk for tizen 5.5? ? That would be super awesome
GW3 stock firmware us
hi, anyone have access or know where can I download the official US rom for SM-R840.
By mistake I did the *#243203855# install KOO and not able to get it back to original firmware.

Can you maybe explain what exact you wish...
Because IMHO SM-R840 is BT only device... this means netOdin files contains ALL CSC... also for USA:

hello and can you describe to me how you managed to change the region. I want to change to the American one to have samsung pay but I don't know how to handle it. Please help.
Did anybody figure how to change csc on Tizen 5?
I need S-pay on the GW3,
I know the previous generations of watches had S-pay pre-installed, Wonder why they left it out this time around. Hope someone soon figures a way out to change the CSC or even better Hope Samsung roles an update out with S-Pay installed

wow thx!! Will try.
Do u have LTE or BT version?
Hy guys
I have not yet bought the watch but I have searched this subforum for all possible information and I have many doubts.
Assuming that I am chooising the lte version, the purchase will be bound to the possibility of ecg, SP02, BP.
I would buy the Italian version, but I consider other recommended version
i have reject the way to install the two mod apk & tpk by caravana( and the sequent updates) respectively for ecg & BP because i read of many updates & sync issues.
I know that in italy there are the sw update that introduce this features....but there are only for not lte version
Taking on that the right way for me is change country (CSC) ( This Is The way :cyclops: )
So we come to the questions:
-Which country i must switch for the correct working of ecg, SP02, BP, Spay?
-Why i can't change country without the use of combination file? I'm a ex Samsung user and i remember that I use only csc ap bl cp for the flash what are change? I don't underestand.
Thank you for the clarifications.
Thanks again.
Hello, i'm an italian LTE version owner's, i installed the two mod apk & tpk by caravana without any issue and they work wery well. Only thing i miss is the SPO2 reading!
I also would like to understand how to mod the watch in a reversible way without losing guarantee (i don't know if there is any knox counter or similar), continuing to use Spay and italian e-sim.
But why Samsung has never update this version yet????
Probably this workaround ( the two mod app for BP & ecg) will have issues when you update the Samsung healt monitor o Samsung Healt or the tizen.
An issue already present is the lack of sync BP.
It isn't a stable solution.
But if we change the country i think that we can Spay,BP,ecg & Sp02 work correctly in the watch.
If we flash a standard firmware from other region i think that there aren't issues with knox. BUT... i don't understand why the xda's users use just this magical "combination file".
For first we should find the perfect europe country where all these features work in correct way.
After this we can flash the firmware, csc, & co ....But i think that there's something i'm missing
I have bad feeling about the Samsu.g update...you know that in non LTE version there is a update that switch on all the feature?....
Thank you
i have study the situation.
I have seen that there are the combination file also for the lte version.
being able to choose, i would buy the OXA version...but u know...it's impossibile know the csc version before the purchase...
So i have the BIG question:
- i need use the combination file to install the fw OXA with NetOdin? Or i can simply flash the files?
The doubt comes to me because everyone posts this guide which is also the method with which the old device was flashed
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78800094&postcount=7
-are there people who have had issue with BP, ecg & co? Like not precise or total wrong measure, i don't interest a millimetric precision.
Thank u.
Up..
Pls
