Hi. Yes you will have. BUT, S Pay is only for Indonesia. And if you have a samsung watch 4 or 5 , you cannot work ECG and blood pressure monitoring

SPay in XID CSC is the only local version of Samsung Pay for Indonesia.
SPay in INS CSC is an inernational Samsung Pay - works with every bank that have Samsung Pay support + India bank extras.

no,i dont have Samsung watch!!s pay will not work with the Greek banks?
Every *Pay (Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, Fitbit Pay, Garmin Pay, Wena Pay, Huawei Pay and so on...) have INDIVIDUAL contracts between EXACT PAY service and BANK/FINTECH.

If of there is no contract between Samsung Pay and your Bank - it can not add card to Samsung Pay.

which csc tends to give faster updates? ILO, INS, THL, SEK?
Only Samsung desides when to release exact CSC.

In most cases they are SAME FILES (BL, AP, CP), - only CSC (CSC and HOME_CSC) are different (some times) - but firmware are COMPILED almost on same day - just released in differet days.

EUX is FIRST / FASTER new firmware releses.

Then new Bootloader is relased - some small region is first test and then all are showpn. Sometimes even not fully assigned by Google Protect - and "Device is not Play Protect Certidied" ...

If you are impatient to wait - just downloa EUX (BL, AP, CP, HOME_CSC) and flash with ODIN - firmware version will be new, CSC remain the same.

I switched to INS 😁 Many thanks for great tips and SamFw tool work perfect 👍 Just one minus with INS is the 3xpress will initiate the emergency call (by law in India), and I'm used to 2x for the camera from the lockscreen - and I use this a lot - but have now a couple of times, accidentally called 112 (911) here in DK from extra presses, not the best thing if it happens 🙃 But still, call recording is important for me 😊

Hallo, You can confirm that wichtig SEK Call ID don't work?
Yes , SEK doesn't have Call ID support natively. BUT , ILO has! I am in ILO some months already and I'm very satisfied. OTA updates are also well and fast working. Only Samsung Pay doesn't exist but I don't care as Google Pay is better.

    Do no update to S91*BXXS2AWEA
    The firmware is not signed by Google Play Protect - so phone become UNCERTIFIED and Google Pay stops, other SafetyNet dependent also.

    At the moment only THL CSC is pushed to ...WEA. Others (at the moment) are on WD1.

    TThe is nonoption to downgrade because this is first firmware with new 2 bootloader.

    Deleting, Unistalling, Clearing data, even Factory reset do NOT avoid uncertified status.

    (There is a chance for updating Play Protect but it's less likely before Samsung new firmware.)

    Current option for already updated to WEA:
    Just wait for new WEx (after A) or WFx firmware.
    Argh already did the update and after the first 3 payments it's now blocked...
    If you manage to get it to work please let us know!

    Feel your pain - changed csc the same day (just after) the csc was released. Phone had been great til then too 😬

    Thank you.

    Poor wording on my part, meant change CSC rather than flash csc... It has been a few years since I did this!

    So with THL though, I think I read the bootloader had changed when I downloaded the THL update on Saturday.

    Will being on the EUX csc but the new THL firmware (and updated bootloader) still allow me to download OTAs on the EUX csc?
    Yes, if you are on EUX when new pushed for EUX - you'll able to update OTA.
    On OTA it downloads differences between current and new firmware and appled.

    I change CSC to ILO and record call working good but my samsung calendar marked Friday and Saturday as a weekend day 😀. Is it possible to changed weekend days colors?

    it's a ILO CSC configuration so if you are not rooted you can't change it
    if you are rooted change XXXXBRX to XXXXXXX or delete the line

    I add attachment SamFW v3.1 which is clean and works with S22 and S23 without any problem.

    Can you give me an easy and specific guide to do it? I've never done it this way before. Only with samkey. Have you installed Sek on the s23 ultra?
    Yes , I used samfw for first time in my s23 ultra. The procedure is very easy and safe. I tried INS but then I changed to SEK for the reasons I explained before.
    In short:
    1. You enable ADB in your phone
    2. You download samfw to your windows PC and run it.
    3. Connect your s23 ultra with the PC through a cable.
    4. Run samfw , and press Tab adb in the program (it is the third tab in the upper place of the app).
    5. You will see a pop up menu with all available XOM multi- csc .
    6. Choose and right in the appropriate box the one you want (INS ,SEK etc).
    7. Press "change csc"
    8. It will appear a prompt saying dial *#1234#* (or something like that ) while the screen of your phone is looking like being in check mode( like the one you have in Samsung Member app when you want to make a check for some function).
    9. That's it. In seconds you have your new scs without data wiped!

    Better:
    INS - callrec, callerID, spay
    THL - callrec, callerID
    XXV - callrec, spay
