Hi,
My problem is that i have a galaxy s8 that is not registered. What do i mean by this ? i cant update OTA it says device registration failed. In recovery it does not display any information about the device at all. I cant use samsung health app,It says that my device is rooted and ofc not even samsung pay and secure folder. I checked and surely enough KNOX is not tripped it says 0x0. I can use my sim fine with 4G. I now live in Pakistan. The model number is galaxy s8 950usqu4cre9. I have the option of using smart switich to restore the stock frimware but i am afraid that i might not be able to use my SIM. The CSC country is hong kong and frimware csc code is TGY as it says in phone info app . plz help would really appreciated.

HEY CORNELIS12,

thank you
Hi!
sammobile has your model
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G901F/
BTW, there is a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-t3350160 where is TWRP custom recovery for your model. You shouldn't have problems to root your phone unless your bootloader is locked
I currently own an Australian Optus carrier variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (OPS) and want to install an Australian unlocked variant of Galaxy S7 Edge (XSA) since unlocked variant has recieved 2 updates since its launch but carrier variant has received none..
1. So my question is will this trip my KNOX Warranty and will it disable my Samsung Pay app use?
2. Also, if I install another country's Galaxy S7 Edge firmware that has the same model number, will this trip my KNOX Warranty and disable Samsung Pay Use?
3. Which country (code) receives the fastest new updates for the device SM-G935F?
4. Lastly, can I install a Galaxy S7 Edge firmware with a different model number? I want to try South Korean variant firmware..
You can flash any official Samsung firmware, and it won't trip Knox.
Someone else asked this earlier today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/to-flash-generic-australian-rom-to-t3364559
Also, Samsung Pay isn't in Australia yet, and won't be for some time.
The Aussie carrier devices should get the latest update soon hopefully.

Thank you for your reply. Just one more question! I heard that if a phone is rooted, Samsung Pay app is not usable on that device afterwards so will it be the same for installing the other firmware? I know that Samsung Pay is not yet available in Australia but I would like to use it when it's launched.
Correct. Samsung Pay won't work on a rooted device.
Also, if you root, you will trip Knox. You can't use Samsung Pay on a Knox tripped device.
Even if you go back and flash stock firmware, this will not reverse Knox. This is permanent.
But if you just flash Samsung unbranded firmware over your Optus firmware, this is ok. Samsung Pay will still work.
Just to clear up something else, does your handset need to be unlocked before you can flash another official samsung firmware?

hello , i am using s7 edge G935FXXU1DQFG (united kingdom vodafone) , i didnt received oreo update yet, my question is can i download firmware of any other country instead of this united kingdom vodafone ?
Hey Guys,
I received my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos yesterday and immediately installed after the first setup the available update for Nougat. I tried to get the preinstalled Samsung Pay working, which should be available in my current location (Switzerland). I noticed that the samsung pay app is completely chinese so I started digging for the country of origin of this specific device.
I was a bit baffled that sammobile doesn't list the buildnumber of the firmware which is G935FXXU1DQCT. When I looked up the CSC code (*#1234#) it is showing me G935FZZT1DQCT. I read that ZZT should be the country code but I couldn't find anything about that code.
Can somone tell me which country of origin my device has? My previous Galaxy S5 Duos was UAE.

I think that ZZT is not country code. Take a look this
My product code is XID, means my country name indonesia. On that csc not even write xid
EDIT:
take a look to this site
that is for taiwan region (BRI)
This app should answer your questions:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
so for those who got their S8 UNLOCKED from ebay\amazon..etc there is a chance that you might have got the version of the S8 of a country that doesn't support it yet, thus it will not work on your phone, for e.g. (AFG- Afghanistan, EGY- Egypt...etc).
So to solve this issue we need to flash the firmware of a country that has SAMSUNG PAY working on an EXYNOS device (G950F, G950FD).
Last year that fixed the issue for me on my S7 Edge G935F.
An example of a country firmaware that have Samsung Pay working is XSG - UAE
So if someone can provide us with the firmware files for both G950F and G950FD , that will be so much of help for many of us.
Also we need ODIN that works for the S8.
Thank you!
Joe
I think you are looking for this firmware -

Hi,
Are you sure that flashing the rom of specific country will make samsung pay work on S8 or S8 Plus
I have an Exynos S8 Plus SMG955FD which was bought in Nepal but there was no pre installed samsung pay as it has not launched its service for S-Pay in Nepal.
If i flash the indian firmware for Exyons S8 Plus on the same Nepal Device as becasue In india now it S-pay service is launched and supported.
Will this work ? 100 %
Both Indian And Nepal device are same model SM G955FD and both country support carries of both countries as well. Only the CSC code is different i.e. India - G955FXXU1AQE5 & Nepal - G955FXXU1AQDG
Since almost all the international S8/S8+s are on the multi CSC ROM, all you need to do is find a SIM from one of the SPAY supported countries (India, Singapore, UAE, UK works) and reset your phone (preferably from the recovery menu) and put in the SIM and reboot. All the regional features are activated, and you get SPAY to work even after changing your SIMs.
I am currently using the India SPAY and it works with all cards (Chase, Amex, Citi are what I have checked). Of course you won't get Samsung rewards since its a program only available in US.
tl;dr No need to flash ROMs. Only reset required.

I'll try this but will this make Samsung Pay work for only that region? I.e. if I use an Indian SIM will it activate the Indian version of Samsung Pay or can I use the US version which has rewards
Hello
I have a India Region S8 which is not locked by any provider. As I am in Australia I wanted to install the Australian version so that I get the Samsung Pay options for Australia.
Does anyone know how to update the Samsung Pay or entire OS to Australia?
Will installing official samsung version of Australian rom trip my knox?
Please help.
Anyone??

Since urs is an Indian model of the s8.. It will be the Exynos variant.
If Australia also sells Exynos variant (which I think it does), then u can directly download the Australian firmware from sammobile for ur model and flash it with odin.
Make sure u download the firmware of Exynos itself.
And flashing this wont trip Knox.
