Hi,
This is to inform those who have Note Edge on TTT ( Trinidad and Tobago) with baseband N915TUBU1AOA2, that I could successfully upgrade it to Lollipop using Odin and firmware from sammobile.com. I go through following steps :
#### Everyone told me not to do that since Firmware is not design for this baseband, I did it and now phone is great with Lolli with many customization*1, you can try it on your N915T on your own risk ####
1- Download Kies, install, and make a full backup
2- Make an image of phone storage
3- Download stock firmware for roll back :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/42583/N915TUBU1AOA2_N915TUUB1AOA2_TTT/
4- Go through procedure in
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/46754/N915TUVU1BOD7_N915TTMB1BOD7_TMB/
After upgrade, it turns to a normal USA T-Mobile unlocked Lollipop phone
I also used the same procedure to root Lollipop after that and it finished successfully.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
*1 What you will see after upgrade to Lolli on Note Edge:
Pros:
>> Not any affect on your apks, settings, files ... any settings will be mapped to new setting options. Any app not compatible will be upgrade auto before first start.
>> Many customizations on notification panel, options to disable or prioritize notifications for each APK
>> Work smoother
>> New Edge pannels
>> Upgraded apks such as new S-health, ...
>> Ext SD Card access is granted by Lollipop, each app will take a One Time permission and then can access Ext SD (setting>>System>>Security>>Apps with usage access )
>> VPNs can be created without putting Password on lock screen, also Advanced and Simple IPSec VPN types added
Cons:
>> Some functions of Edge screen is gone ! Shutter button of Camera is not on the edge anymore, Incoming calls when you are working on an app is coming on both edge and screen causing distraction to your work, some notifications are coming on Edge and also on Screen at the same time
>> Some notification windows open without background (Transparent). It happens very few times and for System notification only. I have no problem with it but it's a bug.
Con is you deal with Tmobile bloat and them neutering the Quick Settings after doing a good job of keeping the S5's Settings menu intact.
mine is Galaxy S7 Edge SM 935FD
i am facing unique problem since i updated to stock rom nougat & also custom rom too which is a bluetooth problem
if i use 1 or 2 sim card OR 1 sim card or 1 memory card there - bluetooth works well
but if i use hybrid one which means 2 simcard & memory card both bluetooth fails to start
same happened when i updated to nougat stock rom & thats why iinstalled custom rom too & still same problem
pls help me ???
i had the same problem but found only one way to fix it temporary
download bluetooth auto connect and use it to connect to devices,, you still can't send files,,,, only
stream audio in cars or bluetooth speakers ...etc
good luck
I've got the permanently unlocked T-mobile US version (Snapdragon 835) of the Galaxy S8. I was using the Samsung pay in the US but that doesn't work for Indian cards in India, probably due to region locks. Is there any way by which I can use the Samsung pay in India on my unlocked GS8 USA version ? Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Hi could you find any work around for this?

That might not be possible as you'd have to be running a supported firmware with localised csc

The Samsung Pay will work for standard card types like MasterCard, Visa and AMEX as long as your bank supports it. But local card types like Maestro, Rupay, Paytm or any other won't work. I have Unlocked Australian S8 and I have already linked my CitiBank Credit card and ICICI Bank Debit card.
Thanks
Reset your phone and then boot while an Indian sim is in your phone. This will change the CSC to India but I'm not sure if you'll get updates!

Hi Venki,
I have a Samsung Gear S3 bluetooth version got it from USA where i was trying to add the credit card. Same as you i have ICICI Bank Debit and Credit card which i was able to add successfully. But I have an CitiBank credit card for which i am unable to add. My feeling is while the filling of card details it asks for 5 digit postal code which is as per US but for india its 6 digit (not sure how it worked for ICICI though ), So will you be able to help me how you were able to add and is there a workaround that i can use to solve this issue.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Arun
I do have Gear S3, but I don't use the Samsung Pay on gear. The reason you couldn't add could be because, Gear S3 Samsung Pay is different app (light weight) than the one in the Galaxy Devices. I don't know any workarounds. Sorry.
Thanks

This is the method I used to change the CSC code on my SM-R760 to an Australian code with a view to setting up Samsung Pay. It took a little hunting around the forums to find all of the information, plus I ran into a few things while I was doing it that didn't seemed to be mentioned elsewhere so I thought I would summarise it all below for us noobs.
All credit to the experts, in particular @adfree
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
------------------------
NetOdin3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Combination Firmware
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74600026&postcount=26
Your current stock firmware (in my instance, R760XXU2BQC5)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Your CSC code
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163
A PC with a WiFi connection
INSTRUCTIONS:
----------------
1. Check reactivation lock is off
- On your phone, go to Samsung Gear App
- Go to Setttings Tab, choose "Find my Gear"
- Make sure Reactivation Lock is off
2. Connect your watch to your PC
- Hold down the home/power button until you see the "rebooting" screen
- Release the home/power button then quickly press it three times to bring up the boot menu
- Quick press the home/power button to cycle through the menu to "Download (wireless)"
- Long press the home/button to confirm the menu selection
- The phone will then go into WPS mode
- Double press the home/power button to change to AP mode
- On your PC, enable WiFi and connect to the access point on you watch.
NOTE: Until you successfully connect to NetOdin, your watch may display red text stating "Connection Timeout" - this is OK
- Open up NetOdin. You should now be connected to your watch (you should see the IP in the NetOdin window and "Connected to xx.xx.xx.xx" on your watch face.
NOTE: I had to disable Windows Defender public firewall temporarily for NetOdin to work properly
3. Flash combination firmware
- Load the unzipped .tar.md5 file into the "AP" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking then click "Start". This should take about 10 minutes to complete after clicking "Start".
NOTE: I had left "Automatic reboot" ticked in Odin, so once it completed the watch restarted. No issue, except had to go through step 2 to reconnect the watch to the PC before proceeding to the next step
4. Flash CSC file from stock firmware
- Load the unzipped CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "CSC" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking then click "Start". This should take about 1-2 minutes to complete after clicking "Start".
5. Factory reset
- In your Gear, go to Settings > Gear Info > Reset Gear > Confirm
NOTE: I got a warning at this stage that Reactivation Lock was on. Don't know why I got this message as I had definitely turned it off in step 1. I ignored it (no guts, no glory!) and was fine. Your mileage may vary
6. Set CSC code
- In the Gear, go to the Tizen Keystring app
NOTE: screenshots of what your interface will look like https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74591475&postcount=13)
- Type in the following code exactly: *#272*719434266344#
- You will be taken to a list of CSC codes that you can scroll through. Find the code you want to change to and select it. I used "XSA".
7. Reflash complete current stock ROM
- Load the unzipped CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "CSC" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Load the unzipped AP_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "AP" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Load the unzipped BL_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "BL" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Click "Start". This should take about 15 minutes to complete after clicking "OK".
You are done!
After this, my Gear picked up the OTA update to Tizen 3.0.0.1
So after all of this effort, NAB doesn't currently support Samsung Pay, so I can't 100% confirm this will work, but everything I've read says it should.

I got Gear S3 delivered from Amazon yesterday in India since I was desperate about SPay I tried and followed above method to change CSC and enable SPay. Everything went smooth but now it says "unauthorized modifications have been made to this device". I guess Knox has been tripped. I don't know how, But Samsung Health is working fine.
Now I have requested for a replacement of the same device from Amazon. Can anybody let me know the safest method to enable spay on Indian Gear Device?
Galaxy Gear S3 Frontier
Was in Tizen 3 and got updated to Tizen 4 after combi flash and CSC change.
Gear Model: R760.
Can anybody let me know the safest method to enable spay on Indian Gear Device?

From official Samsung support:
If your mobile device is rooted or is running a custom ROM, then Secure Folder automatically locks to prevent unauthorized access. If this occurs, you can no longer access data inside Secure Folder.
Maybe your device is or was rooted, or had a custom rom installed?!
