Hi guys,
Already asked for help about it, but in wrong place...
Now in the right place i ask:
Exists any way to use Samsung ID from one country and use carrier from another country?
Exemple: UK account with a brazilian carrier.
Note: Already changed firmware and product code to UK – XEU.
Issue: i can’t use UK store, my brazilian sim card (chip) are blocking to use account…
Any way to trick samsung apps checker???
Thanks!
i tried to use Kuwait store by inserting a Kuwait sim into my device!!
and it worked
Just register another account in Kies and set country you wish. You can install apps via Kies only.
Thanks fellows,
But i already know this features... I really wanna know if as possible to use samsung apps in s8500 device from a different country than carrier!
thanks again!
I bought the phone from china and now using in Pakistan but I want to install magic AR application but app gallery is showing error that not available in your region
Please suggest any way to change region or share APK link for download
I have tried via VPN and after changing language to Chinese but no fruitful results
So there's discussion that if we purchase an International Note 10 or Note 10+ from ebay, we may not be able to use Samsung Pay in the United States. The reason being, the Note will be preloaded with Pay App that's from that region. Had anyone been able to uninstall the pre-installed app and reload the app via apkmirror to get Samsung Pay to work in the US?
Saw a post on the s8 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/how-add-samsung-pay-to-sm-g950fd-dual-t3600699) which talked about this exact problem. Not sure if it's the same here and if anyone got to work around the region problem. Not talking about U firmware.

If you read that thread, this was not the case. He was able to use it by installing the framework and app for the USA version.
On my own Korean Note 10+ 5g I tried installing the USA apk but it still keeps saying it can't connect to server.
Check if your csc is from a country that Samsung Pay supports, in the same thread someone post the steps for change the csc. Maybe that can make yours work.

My phone is from Taiwan (BRI) and my previous phone was from Hong Kong (TGY) and Samsung Pay worked fine for both in Canada, right out of the box. I did not change the CSC, etc.
Yeah I don't think that has anything to do with it, given that s8 thread. The OP in that one said he had to sideload the framework and app for USA to work, but I don't see how we could do that since the framework doesn't let me uninstall. As mentioned I tried side loading the USA version of the app from apk mirror but it still failed to connect to server and now tells me I need to use a Korean SIM card to use Samsung Pay.
On my note 8 all the rewards are in Chinese, but it works fine for actually paying for things

I have and international version Note10+, buy it from samsung miami, but the firmware installed from factory in the phone was from Panama, Every time I try to launch samsung pay with a US sim card it stucked on the connecting screen. I tried to uninstall and install the usa version, but the youy cant uninstall the framework without root. I change the firmware for one coming from the country that support Samsung Pay and changed the CSC by doing it. Now Samsung Pay works and use to pay at stores.
This is only my experience, maybe you can find another way. It you find it please post it because I want a better solution.
Hope that this post help in some way.

Which model do you have and which country's firmware/CSC did you change it to, to get Samsung Pay to work? This information will save many people from the agony of hunting down functional firmwares for Samsung Pay.

Sure, I have the SM-N975F model and I use the firmaware N975FXXU1ASHE from Spain, the CSC is PHE also read that the Italy CSC works.
Hey guys I gave a try to the software Samkey, they have an option to change your csc in a multicsc firmware. For example, I wanted the PCT csc code because is from Puerto Rico(my country) and I knew that Samsung Pay worked with it, so I flashed the firmware N975FXXU1ASH5 with multi-csc OWA N975FOWA1ASH5 because one of the csc is the one I wanted. The default csc in this firmware is CHL from chile(Samsung Pay dont support this country), next I buy 3 credits for Samkey on ebay for $6 and use the option to change the CSC and it worked. Do not needed to factory reset or delete any data. Also the phone do a OTA update and still have the PCT csc code. Hope this help someone.

The seller was https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/254275758975
The software is in http://www.samkey.org/download.html
The seller gives you one account with minimum 3 credits, but you only have to use 2 credits

In case that your actual country of residence is different from the CSC you are using, have you tried adding your bank's debit card to Samsung Pay?
My CSC is Hong Kong and I can add Canadian credit cards but not debit cards. I was interested to know if this is the case across the board.
Is anyone else here still able to use MST payments while using a variant not meant for their home country?
For the past month or two, my SM-N9750 (Hong Kong) will not work with MST here in Canada. Prior to that, I would use MST every week, especially with my SM-G9650 (S9+, Hong Kong).
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Samsung Pay works out of the box for both my dual sim Note 10+ and S10+. Both are from the UAE (XSG). Im using it with a USA card. However, there will be no USA points & promotions. , which are showing UAE promotions.

Did you try doing any MST transactions (lately) on terminals that don't support tap-to-pay?

90% of my transactions are MST. It works in all of them.
One of our Chineese suppliers has gifted me a New Fold 3. The issue is the stock Chinese Rom, or rather the restrictions that come with it (nerfing most google based services, and apps i use all the time.). The device is great but restrictions applied give you a feeling of a second class android user, with core sevices absent: Play store, youtube, gmail, maps, chrome, android auto., can't even apporve family link download requests from kids. etc. etc.
I have made the choice i would rather go back to my S21 if i can't resovle this issue, as phone is useless like this.
Advice required on Loading Australian Rom via odin.
The phone model is: SM-F9260 which only seems to have overseas Rom available for download. Can i successfully load a ROM made for model SM-F926B (Australian) on a SM-F9260?
All the how to guides specifically say jou must select the same model number, and i don't want a brick it. Will have mud on my face next time i see the supplier if i have bricked their gift to me.
Any feedback/advice from users with more experience with odin and flashing would be appreciated.
Both are on Snapdragon CPU so shouldn't be any problem to flash it with PIT over the Odin.
But I never done it so I can't give you 100% answer.

Update: The AU version gave me an Auth Failed in Odin. Chances i could have resovled by unlocking the Bootloader which i didn't want to risk tripping the e-fuse. I ended up just using the Taiwan version which had the identical model number, and falls in the same region as China. Odin flashed without complaint. The taiwan version has no restrictions on google services, and once you set the language its hard to tell it from a regular AU one; unless you know what you are looking for that is.

Technically there are ways, just it is very grey as to when/how you trip the e-fuse. Some say if you simply unlock the bootloader and restart, others say when you load a bootloader that doesn't match model numbers, or is older than your current, or isn't offical samsung one. I personally don't know exactly. I do however know that i didn't trip the e-fuse when i loaded the taiwan version, and i didn't have to unlock the bootloader in developer options to achevie this.

oh. Good to know. Just wondering..Did you trip your e-fuse? If so when did it happen? Did you try extracting the PIT file from the CSC and using the PIT tab in odin? with the re-parition option selected?

you won't have the chance to trip. there is some check before the boot image is integrated. so it failed showing some error, auth or secure check failed etc etc.
if you flash variant home csc you will trip
TBH, I consider the Chinese version is the best version above all other region. The dual sim is enable on Chinese version, 512GB is the only available option.
As for google service. You don't need to change the Chinese firmware to Australian to enable it, the GMS is pre-installed. All you need to do is to find a way to install the google series apps as apk by yourself, it would work just fine.

BTW, the only version that Chinese region Fold 3 can change is the HongKong firmware, all other regions are not available. If you use Chinese region Fold 3 in Australia, the only thing you need to concern is the Samsung Pay, but Samsung Pay is fixed by the region and cannot be changed by switching the regional firmware.

Each to their own, if you like the chinese version great. I hated it, restrictions in every aspect of the firmware. I personally am unsure how you rate the chinese version better, when it is loaded with restrictions and hard coded settings that can't be changed, or if they can it is really a sub par workaround. Settings that are not present in standard android builds. What exactly does it have extra that makes it better? If you like it thou that is all that matters.
I loaded the taiwan version which yes is really just the hong kong version. No restrictions, no issues. Now it works just like any other standard samsung android build, you get in AU. Yes samsung pay that use the firmware version doesn't work great, but i prefer google pay anyway. No need to stuff around with downloading apk files from third party sites, for core functions. No need to even enable developer tools.
The chinese version sounds like driving a ferrari on a go karting track.....
Can you flash the Chinese or any international dual sim version to work in the US ?
Hello,
looking for some help just bought a Z fold 4 during my trip to china and it didn't have the google play store but it has all the apps transferred from old to new phone also it has something called google play services i tried with Samsung help center but they refused to help.
any chance i can change the softwear to the international version ?
any guidance please
you can try to flash another region but make sure the hardware specs match. be prepared for brick.
Patched Odin 3.13.1
For those looking for a modified, modded, or patched odin that is a newer build than all the fake and renamed prince comsy 3.12.3 versions floating around. I patch recent Odin versions to offer similar functionality to the princecomsy; in that...
