Samsung Pay 2.7.03 (apk from apkmirror)
Framework 2.7.51

Yes US version is properly working.
I changed my CSC to XSG and installed the exact same versions of framework and Pay app as you.
It doesn't let me go past the Start screen

Update: Installed 2.7.14 which I extracted from a US S8, it let me get past the start screen but it now registers as a UAE Pay app.
I don't know what the case was when you registered but there's no way I'm able to register it as the US version of Pay

Just want to ask something. Are there anyone using T-mobile or any other US S8 variants can tell me what is the latest version of Samsung Pay Framework and Samsung Pay on your phone?

Thank you!

the problem is the latest update. UAE s8 units are now automatically rerouted to the UAE version of the Spay app and there is no way around it other than to install an earlier firmware

You may try the below mentioned method, please note that this involves complete hard reset, take back up of any data you need before doing this.. I imported a S8 from UAE and it didn't allow me to use Samsung Pay in India. Managed to change CSC by Doing a hard reset while keeping an active SIM in the SIM tray...

This is what I did and it worked for me .. Please note , all of your data will be erased (I.e. factory reset) so take back up if you want.

1. Power off and remove the sim tray.. Please ensure you have an ACTIVE sim in the tray..

2. Goto recovery , HOLD bixby button and Volume up together and power up

3. In recovery , chose factory reset .. This will give a warning and then reset everything

4. Chose power off in the recovery and insert sim tray with Active sim .. you should do this before booting up as your CSC will be configured when you will start

5. Power on the phone , it may goto recovery again.. Chose to restart to system now

Everything will be configured to new CSC now (in my case INS) .. Samsung Pay works now ..

This method will not work to install the US version of Samsung Pay. You will have a different region version of Samsung Pay.

Can you be specific about which note 8 phone and model and firmware you got and what you actually did?

Did you flash the XSG firmware or actually bought an XSG model from beginning? Is it N950F/DS? Has anyone been successful with same model from different region but flashing XSG and then sideloading Samsung Pay 2.7.03 (apk from apkmirror) and Framework 2.7.51 eg Singapore, Taiwan?

Did you activate the phone first time with a UAE sim?

You uninstalled SPay that came pre-installed and sideloaded Samsung Pay 2.7.03 (apk from apkmirror) and Framework 2.7.51?

My phone is a stock XSG SM-N950F dual sim Note8. No firmware flashing done, just stock firmware. Activated first time with my tmobile sim.

Yes uninstall the preloaded one and install the one from apk mirror 2.7.03. I don't think i installed a new framework. Just open the Galaxy appstore and let the app update itself.

Are your promotions and marketing offers about UAE cards/banks and in Arabic or US banks and cards?

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a fresh s8 (SM-G950U1 ) from USA which I plan to Use in India. I want to make sure that I can use Samsung Pay in India.
Going through entire conversation, I want to clear whether I will be able to use pay here or not. The CSC for the Indian version (SM-G950FD) and US version SM-G950U1 is same (the last 4 characters AQH3). I assume there will be a region lock for this phone. If i insert a US sim and activate the phone, will pay work? or I sshould directly insert a Indian Sim? A little help here would be appreciated.

thanks
