Samsung Pay on Note10+ (International device) from Ebay

[twe90kid]

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

I don't see the notification of the quote sorry for the late response, just need to flash a firmware with the CSC code you want then use the software I mentioned.

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.
