Samsung pay not working - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So after a recent update to the Samsung pay app I have trouble getting it to work on my s7 edge 935FD. I am currently in the states and was able to use Samsung pay just fine anywhere, even in India when I was on a visit. Suddenly after this update I see the error msg saying 'CHECK SIM CARD: You cannot use Samsung pay with a SIM card from other countries. Insert SIM card from Korea'
This is really weird I tried to uninstall updates, install new SPay and SPay framework, but to no use. Anyone else facing similar issue? Even tried to flash different firmwares but with home CSC.

Bump

Is there anyone who is using UAE phone in the states on ATT? Can you confirm if SPay is working?

Samsung Pay on G935K (Korean Variant) in USA (At&T)

I have G935K, stock unrooted, AT&T. I had Samsung Pay pre-installed and updated. When I am trying to add a card (Bank of America, Chase) it says the card is not yet supported, not letting me to even insert card details beyond first 8 card digits. When I look through supported card link provided in that message I see only Korean and some Chinese cards there. It forcefully installs Korean version (the picture inside of the app, events and announcements items under "more" menu are in Korean too. Samsung Pay doesn't let to choose English ...
Official Samsung pay says it supports US (BofA and Chase included).
BTW, when I start Samsung Pay for the first time (or after clear data) it says "insert a SIM card from the country your are in". Guess what, I am in the US with US AT&T SIM card in and everything is working fine besides Samsung Pay.
I tried to uninstall and install apk downloaded from apkmirror.com (app and framework) and in that case I got "unable to connect to the server" error, when I already added card details.
Any ideas what can I try or how can I forcefully install latest version in English? (the one on apkmirror, which gives server error is not the latest apk)

You can't load a US credit/debit card on a Korean model.. Korean models are only compatible with Korean cards and T-money / cashbee , Also the reason why it says please insert provider sim. Its because its asking you to insert an Olleh KT sim card, on Korean models Samsung pay actually does read the sim, and requires a Data connection on the same network to which the phone is branded. Even though Korean phones are carrier unlocked by law. When it comes to payment apps, Korea is very xenophobic and makes sure that know unknown foreigner can use their payment networks without proper korean identification. If you load a US version of samsung pay on a korean variant you will get a cannot connect to server error, because it is reading the country code of the device. I believe you would have to change the CSC, but it might brick your phone. Also it seems the US version of samsung pay uses samsung pay framework.apk whereas the korean one doesnt. I dont think youll be able to use samsung pay on a korean model unless u are korean and are using a korean issued card.

Thank you for such a thorough explanation. I am still looking for the information if it is possible to change CSC on Korean phone, but there is almost zero info available.
I am not sure if I can flash other country ROM for F model. From hardware prospective they (K and F) look identical, but I am still afraid to brick my phone

No othe models are the same as K, S, and L, Korean models all have a DMB antenna and have specially modified softwares to support that hardware, if you try to flash anything on a korean rom it will fail. Unless you modify a rom in such a way that it bypasses all of this. I ve seen once on here somewhere, it was a for a korean note 4 though if i remember. I dont recommend trying anything out without looking into it. You can maybe research the issue further by using Naver or Daum. Maybe some korean developpers have tried this out before. You might wanna use chrome google translate if you cant read korean while looking it up as these 2 are korean search engines.
I’m having the same problem with my SKT version. Good news is I heard that starting from Note 8, Samsung Pay would work without a Korea sim card

I've been able to by pass the pop in the past. but you still cant use an american card or canadian card on the korean samsung pay variant... korean samsung pay connects to their korean servers.. same for koreans here who got let's say a rogers note 8... they cant use their korean credit cards on canadian samsung pay.... but it seems on the canadian samsung pay any other cards works. ive been able to add american, canadian, thai, hongkong, uk, .... just not mainland china and korean cards. I would have liked to be able to upload my tmoney card on my canadian variant.... it seems im always stuck with 2 phones when going to korea..

How do I add Samsung Pay (US) to SM-G950FD Dual Sim variant?

Just received my Galaxy S8 Dual Sim - came from Singapore. It comes with Samsung Pay but the Singapore version that doesn't support US based credit/debit cards. Any advice on how to change to US version of Samsung Pay? Is this even possible? I tried to uninstall Samsung Pay and then reinstall from Google Play Store (now using my US login and I'm on AT&T network) but it reinstalls SG variant of Samsung Pay program.
I have a Samsung Gear S3 watch and Samsung Pay installed and works fine on the watch but I gather the watch Pay program is different from the one on the phone.
Android Pay works fine so not critical for us though I like getting the points from Samsung when I use Samsung Pay.
Thanks!
If you don't mind me asking which seller did you get the FD version from? Seems mine is stuck at customs as of now sadly. I'll be looking into this as well when u receive mine

I ordered it off Amazon. The seller was NGPSTORE - have bought from them in past. Professional operation and have never had any issues with their phones.
I'm going to message you to try different things.

From what I've been told by Samsung is that Samsung pay is only available on the US model phones, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon etc.

It also comes as part of Singapore phones but is limited to adding cards based in Singapore. They've expanded Samsung pay to several countries now but it seems each has it's own local app versus a common app everyone.

Eh.
Phones sold in Qatar (and the MENA region) come with Samsung Pay UAE which is NOT a system app: ie: you can uninstall it completely.
If your phone has the same model of the MENA variant (see my signature for S8+, change to 950FD for S8), then install the UAE firmware with odin, delete the included SP UAE app, and install the US SP app.

Did this work for you Model Number is the same Build Number is NRD90M G950FXXU1AQDG. I deleted the SG app and tried to reinstall the US app V2.7.03 but it just hangs upon opening it.

Try this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-pay/samsung-pay-2-7-15-release/
When I install 2.7.03 (the most recent US apk), it just hangs at the first screen and won't move beyond the "start" button. I gave the app all permissions but it still hangs.
2.9.6 (latest version) requires a Korean SIM (no joy there). I've been reading the S7 forum and didn't find anything that worked but it's a long threat (100+ pages) - and I may have missed something important. You can't uninstall pay framework or even roll back updates (you can a device admin error) so stuck with that version. I tried installing 2.8.3 and 2.7.15 also - no joy. 2.8.3 also requires a Korean SIM and 2.7.15 starts up, tells you there is now update to download and then fails on the download

I'm on the UAE firmware, and confirmed 2.7.03 works after deleting the placeholder included in the rom.
Flash the UAE firmware (for your version) and do it.
Any idea where I can find the UAE firmware for the 950FD? I have looked and can't find it. Thanks for the suggestion - will try once i can find the FW files.
I bought the international variant as well and Samsung Pay worked out of the box for me. Strange. Dual SIM variant too.
Where did you get it from? Do you know if it originated in Singapore? I was told units that come from locations with out Samsung pay come "naked" but if it comes from a country with Samsung pay (like Singapore), it only wants to work with the Singapore version. If you are able, can you go into settings, apps, and report the version number for both Samsung pay and the Samsung pay framework? That way I can compare to mine. Thanks

Bought it off eBay. Country of origin appears to be from Vietnam but CSC is Singapore. Samsung Pay was partially pre-installed (advertisement essentially) and required full download from Galaxy Apps. Version is 2.7.15. Framework is 2.7.47
Framework 2.7.47 and App 2.7.15 is the latest for Singapore phones but the app opened fine but when i tried to add my AMEX Card (issued in the USA), I got a failure message (and the website for Samsung Pay Singapore says only AMEX cards based in SG can be added).
I happen to also have a Singapore-based AMEX card and that worked fine but that is not the card I regularly use - my regular card is the AMEX based in the US and Samsung Pay wouldn't accept that card. Curious if your did. Thanks - appreciate your sending along the details

I have an AMEX coming soon, I'll reply back on how that goes but 3 us credit companies and a us bank worked fine
The UAE firmware doesn't seem to be added to SamMobile or any other website yet :/
Thanks for letting me know. I'm still looking for the UAE firmware too. I only tried to add an AMEX card as my ATM card (a visa card) only allows one instance and I had it setup for android pay.
I got access to another phone (also from Singapore) and was able to add my BofA debit visa card without problem though it rejected one of my credit cards (like AMEX said it was not issued by a supported bank/issuer) so it would appear that some cards will work and some won't.
Having updated Samsung pay framework on my daily driver to version 2.71.51 in an attempt to get US Samsung Pay (v2.7.03) working it won't allow me uninstall the update (says the program is locked by a device administrator) to roll the framework back to 2.7.47 (which the SG phone uses) so i can reinstall Samsung pay (Singapore) from the app store (v 2.7.15). The 2.7.15 installs and opens but then keeps trying to install an update that keeps failing. If anybody has any ideas on how to rollback pay framework so I can get the Singapore version working again, I'm all ears. That said, Android Pay works fine as does Samsung pay on my gear s3 so not a dealbreaker/critical if I don't have Samsung pay on the phone working.

samsung s8 UAE, how to make spay work in us

I know this has been asked before but i haven't been able to find a thread that matches my situation. I just bought a samsung s8 international version from UAE. I live in the US. When i first opened samsung pay stock app, it said "only available in the UAE". i tried deleting it and installing it form play store but that didn't work. Than i tried installing singapore firmware but for some reason, it said "only available in the UAE" again, even in the about phone tab in the settings, it said the device was from UAE, even after i used odin to flash singapore firmware. But even if i had been successful in flashing singapore firmware it wouldn't have helped because i realized that you wouldn't be able to use US amex cards on singapore SPay. than from reccomendations i tried installing 2.7.03 apk and that worked, i was able to open it but again, i was not able to use US AMEX which is my primary card. Also i noticed in the 2.7.03 app the rewards were all for UAE. so i think it was still a UAE app and amex is not supported in UAE. I'm kind of getting frustrated right now with samsung and why they overcomplicate SPay so much. does anyone else have any ideas?? thanks for the help
the only thing you need to install is samsung pay version 2.8.03 from apkmirror. dont touch framework.

or if no one can solve this let me know i will stop searching for solutions
People simply might not know which is why they haven't replied. I can add my two cents but I'm not really sure.
930V is the version of the S7, a USA model. It might be that as the US model, it isn't compatible with samsung pay outside the US. It could also be that as a US model you can't get updates without being on a US carrier network.
Another possibility is that it's not an S7 at all and that it's a fake phone made to look and behave like an S7. Boot the phone into download mode, as download mode phone information can't be faked. See what it says in there.
But that's just a guess, I don't know for sure.
You can use Odin to change the firmware so long as it's a compatible stock firmware (you'd have to be looking at the Snapdragon firmware) which you can find at sammobile.com

its not face it tried g930u rom installed every thing good but little bit network problem network weak and Samsung pay is international not India version
Samsung pay may be an international service, but to work it still requires collaboration between telcos and samsung.
You have a US model phone that is not officially supported outside of the US, and is not officially supports by Indian telcos. That is probably why it won't work. Whatever Samsung and Indian telcos put in place to support Samsung pay likely doesn't include US model phones being used outside the US, with a non-US SIM.
The 930V also uses a different modem to the international 930F variant, which means you won't be connecting to all the same network bands as the 930F variant, which will affect your network speed and potentially any telco services such as VoLTE and Samsung pay.
There is a reason 930V's sell for cheaper than the international 930F variant.
so there is no solution for this phone
I have a AUS version of S7 and I can confirm that I am able to use it in India for Samsung Pay
Why dont you manually update it to Android 7. This will have latest Samsung Pay installed and you should be able to use it in India
Please head to Sammobile and search firmware for SM-G930V
Australia and India both use the international variant G930F, so I'd expect it to work.

Hi guys,
I just gave me iphone xs max to my wife since her iphone 7 is already too buggy and slow. Now that I moved to s10+, I love it and but the customization option is overwhelming me. Happy though that its customizable.
Then I realize 1 critical thing. I bought a snapdragon USA version of AT&T from local importer. I am located in Asia. When I looked at the software version, its only at "G975USQU1ASD3" with security patch, March 2019. I tried for 2 days now to get the OTA update and it just wont come. Saying that I already got the latest update.
Naturally I checked google and found so many updates, and one of them, night mode in camera, I really want. Now I am a newbie in all of these. My question is.. how do I get the non OTA update? I don't have a PC, but I might be able to use my work PC. I do have an micro SD card.
In summary:
1. Where to find the update files? the non OTA version
2. Is it doable without PC?
3. Can I just jump to the latest firmware update, or do I have to do it manually one by one?
4. Will it wipe my phone, because I spent hours customizing it before checking the problem.
Thank you very much if there's anyone willing to help me figuring things out.
regards,

1.You can download firmwares on sammobile.com for your model
2.You can use work PC but need get small software named Odin and samsung drivers for correct work
3.You not need install one by one you can flash directly to latest one but must use HOME_CSC and make backup with samsung app named smart switch which is already on phone if not you can get it on Google Play Store

To try and force a change of the csc power down your phone, remove the SIM card and boot up your phone without any SIM inserted. After the phone has completely booted up insert your SIM and you should get a message that the network settings are being updated.
I purchased an unlocked AT&T S10+ as well to use on T-Mobile. Since you don't actually have AT&T service I would very strongly recommend that you flash the U1 (unlocked) firmware. There are instructions for doing this in another XDA thread.
AT&T firmware is modded specifically for their messaging, network and WiFi services. Since I'm not an AT&T customer I got no OTA updates until I flashed the U1 firmware. Immediately after flashing the U1 firmware and booting up OTA updates were available to download and I receive OTA updates when they are available so there's no further need to manually flash updates using a computer.
The current U1 firmware has night mode for the camera and was just updated this week to the August security patch (which is good for Samsung).

Hi thank you very much for your help. I appreaciate it. However, as you can see from my opening post, I kinda did a mistake and locked myself out of AT&T now.. I am stuck with Sprint after changing CSC 3x feeling safe.. then Spint removed my ability to change CSC via *#272*IMEI#
:crying::crying::crying:
You shouldn't need to change the CSC using the dial code. If you cold start your phone without a SIM card then insert the sim after your phone has fully booted up you should get a message about your network settings updating.
I would also still recommend flashing the U1 unlocked firmware.

Hi thanks again for replying to me. I tried many times doing this but as soon as my SIM card got in, SPRINT OMADM took over.. I can't even get rid of the notification.. sigh..
This might help:

That's apparently something annoying that's specific to Sprint.
To get rid of any US carrier stuff on your phone I would still suggest using the modified Odin (which can be found in the XDA firmware flashing threads for the S10+) and flash the U1 firmware version which is carrier free.
