Hello!
I am curious if anyone who has rooted their Galaxy S6 can go to the HWModuleTest and let me know if the MST Test works.
I know Samsung Pay doesn't work if the Knox flag is tripped. However, I am curious if the MST hardware still works.
If it does work, let me know what device root you used. Anyhow, thanks for any help!

S6 Edge Plus + New GearVR = Does not load software
ATT
There is an AT&T firmware update for the Note 5 and the S6 Edge plus. If you can, see if there's something waiting in System Update.
I have the same problem on my Note 5 but since I'm in England, so far I'm out of luck. If you can update and it works, please let us know.
Not sure if you have resolved this yet but I had the same problem. For me it was because I had used Package Disabler and had disabled com.facebook.system. Once I re-enabled that, tha apps all installed fine. I found this from someone elses post in another forum I think. Good luck.

easy solution is to go to samfirmware and download the latest available rom for your model.
Worked for me. Using S6 Edge+ from Bell Canada
I bought an international model of the Note 8, model N950FXXS3CRF1, and ever since day 1, I can't get Samsung Pay to work. I was able to get it setup for my Gear S3, so it's not like I'm completely unable to use it, but this is a bit concerning for me in a way that I'll explain in a moment.
First off, when I go to the Galaxy Apps store, I'm unable to find Samsung Pay for download. Naturally, I went and just hunted down the latest APK for the app instead, though, whenever I open it, it just says it's temporarily unable to connect. Again, this doesn't affect the Gear S version of the app, it's still fully-functioning, it's only doing this for the phone version.
Now, the reason this is concerning to me is because, as far as I can tell after doing a bit of research, is that the version of the Note 8 port of Android belongs to a country that doesn't have support for Samsung Pay, thus leading me to suspect that there might be some more features I'm missing out on.
So, can anyone tell me which version of the Note 8 firmware I can install that'll allow me use of the phone version of Samsung Pay?
Where will you use your phone? You can install Mexico's FW, it will include samsung pay, no need to side load

If you purchased your Note 8 from a grey importer. Chances are you receieved a Note 8 that was not intended for use in your country. Despite the fact that it is an international variant. If the device is not intended for use in your country, you won't be able to use Samsung Pay on your device.
Good morning all,
I've just discovered this wonderful forum and the world of android modding/rooting etc. I am looking to purchase the following model SM-N960FZKHBTU direct from Samsung in the United Kingdom. I am assuming and hoping I will get the Exynos cpu? Please could some inform me if I buy direct from Samsung can I remove a lot of the bloat apps without rooting? Stuff like Facebook and heavily embedded apps? I don't want to root initial incase I wish to take part in the upgrade program, where one of the conditions of the ToS must be Knox not being tripped.
Please could anyone from the UK share their experiences.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this.
If you purchase your Note 9 directly from Samsung UK. You are guaranteed to get the Exynos variant. However you will not be able to remove any of the Samsung Bloatware without tripping Knox after you have rooted your device. Also rooting your device will void your warranty.
Quick question, hope somebody more knowledgeable can help.
First of all, I come from the land of Nexus and Pixels, where unlocked bootloaders and rooting are fairly common. Recently, I've grown tired of having subpar hardware and some software choices made by Google, so the S10 family has finally caught my eye. However, all this chat about Knox, CSC, regional variants, dual SIMs, etc, etc, has got me fairly confused, even after hours of reading the S8, S9 and S10 XDA forums. So here are some questions:
1. Does rooting a Samsung phone always trip Knox? The thing is, I would very much like to root my future S10, but I'm fairly excited about Samsung Pay. Also, I don't want to permanently trip a fuse. I understand there's no going back after tripping Knox.
2. Can Magisk Hide help with Knox and Samsung Pay?
3. Can anybody confirm whether the Snapdragon Hong Kong version has an unlocked bootloader? I know Exynos can be rooted, but Gcam is a MUST for me. So this becomes a matter of choosing between the US version (U1), or the Hong Kong version (0). Furthermore, if root for HK version becomes possible, will it trip Knox and lose Samsung Pay? Basically, I don't see the point of getting the unlocked bootloader version if Knox will be tripped anyway. At that point I might as well get the US version and keep it unrooted.
From my limited knowledge, rooting will trip Knox, magisk hide will hide the root from certain apps but once you root say goodbye to Samsung pay.
Not only rooting triggers knox, it triggers knox too if you flash an samsung unsinged recovery like twrp, or a custom kernel etc. It seems, if you compile a kernel from source without any modification(stock alike), it triggers knox too. So not only the rooting process triggers knox.
Hi I found on ebay for a really good price Samsung N960F but the seller says it's only problem with the phone is that it has Knox Warranty Void 1. It's major problem or you can live with that? Thanks for your help
I think a more pertinent question is can you live with that.
It shouldn't hurt performance of the phone.
It will likely only void any warranty.
I believe that the F mark is rootable. That's likely how Knox got tripped.
If Knox is tripped all payment apps cease to work.

Also the Secure Folder and Samsung Health would be disabled on your device once Knox is tripped. That said if you can live without those, then yeah the Note 9 is worth the money. I purchased the N960N Special Edition 512GB model and I love it.
