[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The number "4.25.651..." means its Lollipop. The number "4" being the important one in this instance. HTC software 4.xx for the M8 corresponds to Lollipop. This fact is a rather esoteric one, it only applies to the M8; as HTC uses different hardware numbers for different devices; and doesn't relate to how Google or other phone manufacturers number their software versions. So you would only from experience or research.

Did LTE ever work on this phone, on your network? You are using Sprint as your provider?

"Factory lock" doesn't mean anything particular, its not a commonly used term for this device. Do you mean make the bootloader locked? There is a method for this in the Development section. But it requries s-off. And you should also confirm it works for the Sprint version (before trying it) as the Sprint version has some significant peculiarities versus other M8 versions.

I can't say I understand how the GPS "fix" for CM12 works either; and I mostly just jumped in on this thread to provide some basic knowledge regarding RUUs, software numbers, etc. I'm not a user of CM on this device, so again the help I provide is unfortunately limited. All I can recommend is keep reading, or post to the applicable thread, to see if you can obtain any further help or other "fixes".

I'm guessing that RUU to stock replaces some GPS library or other type files, that then is not wiped when you flash CM onto the system partition. But I'm just guessing there.

At least RUU'ing back to stock verifies the GPS hardware works, and eliminates that as the cause of your GPS problem.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komi_9:
Ah. Thanks!

Yes, LTE worked just fine for a little while, both on the original stock, and on CM12. Then it stopped working. At first it would make weird APN choices, and then I could go in there and switch it back to the Sprint APN. Then as part of flipping back and forth from stock, I reset the APNs, thinking it would undo anything I might have mistakenly done while fiddling with the settings. After this, the APN listing has been blank. In CM12, it says that APN settings are not available for this user. In stock, it just seems to go searching and failing for LTE over and over.

Yes, bootloader locked. When I boot to the bootloader, it says that my phone is unlocked, and when I relock it, it says "relocked". So anyone looking there will know I've unlocked it (which I suppose it the point of this :)). I was just wondering if I could restore it to the original factory lock so that one wouldn't be able to tell.

Basically this is for if I go to a Sprint store to get help with LTE, they don't just refuse me because of having an unlocked bootloader. But I don't want to spend to much work on restoring this until I know it's causing me trouble. If I do go to the Sprint store, I'll probably just restore with the RUU and see how it goes.

I'll need to redo the RUU and then actually try navigating around. It's hard to tell if it's accurate enough when I'm just in one place. What other ROM do you suggest I try to see if this is CM dependent, or if it's something more basic on my phone?

Thanks for the help!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
I don't have much guidance here (again, not a CM user) except that when you return to stock, it should have the right Sprint APN. If not, try to enter the proper/current APN. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with the proper APN (aside from the unlikely event of a hardware failure).

As I mentioned, there is a thread for making the bootloader flag read LOCKED. However, it requires s-off, and this is the only way to make it say LOCKED. Otherwise, it will only say RELOCKED, and that is intentional (as you've already seem to have figured out).

Also, if you decide to s-off and try this, you need to research and confirm this hack works for the Sprint version, as there are a good number of mods that don't work for Sprint (or may need to be modified). In particular, the command modifies a very specific memory block. And the partitioning on the Sprint version is very different from other M8 versions. Meaning you probably need a Sprint specific command, otherwise you risk a brick.

Stock RUU is your best bet, really. Other ROMs that support the Sprint version should be fine. I'd tend toward Sense or GPE based ROMs; as these are based on stock HTC software, tend to be more reliable with things like GPS.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komi_9:
Thanks for the help. I think I'll just run the RUU and give Sprint a call. Hopefully that will work.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komi_9:
For my specific Sprint case (not Verizon like the OP), my solution was to use the RUU and take it to Sprint. They gave me a new Sim card. Now I have it restored to CM12.1 and it seems to be working.

Of course, this is the same point that I was when I initially started having problems. LTE worked, but then stopped working. I had a repeat of that once, and I restored back to the stock ROM (I had backed it up with TWRP) and ran updates. Now it's been a few days and LTE is still going strong. So I'm hopefully I'm past this issue.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayendra:
So I just bought a 920i version from eBay (monoprice store). Brand new unlocked. I am on at&t. Downloaded the Samsung pay apk and after signing into my Samsung account via Samsung Pay. After signing in I am getting this message "You must use your own Samsung Account to use Samsung Pay". Well, it is my own account.

So question: Has anyone got Samsung Pay working on N920I with a US carrier (more specifically at&t). Do you have a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
I'm in the same boat. I've got an SM-N920I that I'm using on AT&T. It's from Australia, with a region code of XSA (meaning sold SIM-free from general retail channels, not from a carrier).

Unfortunately, it's more involved than just installing an APK. In addition to just the app, there are library files that need to be placed on the system partition. Even if you get those libraries on there, you may still run into problems.

In my case, Samsung has said they're planning on launching Samsung Pay in Australia in the first quarter of 2016, so I'm happy to just wait for a software update to my phone that enables it. If your N920I is from Singapore, New Zealand, or Papua New Guinea, there's no telling how long it might be before Samsung launches it in those countries. So, if Samsung Pay matters a lot to you, I'd say to just flash some Australia firmware, and just wait for a software update early in 2016.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayendra:
Oh wow! Its much more screwed than I thought. Samsung Pay has been getting a lot of good feedback and I started getting excited about it, until I saw your correct explanation. Thanks!

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayendra:
Just found the way this morning googling around. I'm on XSA as well.

It sucks that you can't have best of all worlds, even after paying for an unlocked device in full. I wanted timely Samsung updates (no go at&t). I wanted tethering without rooting (no go at&t). I wanted Unlocked. All good with N920i and then I REALLY want the Samsung Pay....f***. Don't even know I will have the phone until the Q1 2016.

Here it is...
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire2802:
What firmware can I install in order to have samsung pay
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Well, here's the problem. Samsung does not sell unlocked, SIM-free devices at general retail in the US. The only way to get an unlocked Samsung device here is to buy one from an importer like Expansys or one of the countless eBay sellers who get them.

Because of that situation, the game is changed a bit. Yes, we're buying an unlocked device, but we're buying one that was not intended for use in the US. Its radio bands, apps, etc. are all tailored toward the country or region where the device was originally intended to be sold. Notice how there's a video call button in the phone app? No US carrier supports that. Notice how the phone supports LTE-A, but not on the AT&T band pairs? That's because it's tweaked to use the LTE-A band pairs that carriers in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore use. As for the ROM and apps, if you're on XSA as well, then you know. The ROM is as light and bare as a Samsung ROM is going to get, but it's still intended for Australia. So, until Samsung Pay launches in Australia, I think we're out of luck. :/

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

Samsung Pay is not presently available on any N920I firmware. Judging from your CSC, you're running one of the Singapore firmware variants. But, if you want to get it the fastest, I'd recommend flashing the Australia firmware. The N920I is only sold in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Papua New Guinea. Of all those countries, Australia is the only one where Samsung has actually said that they plan on launching Pay (right now, Q1 2016). So, once it launches in Australia, you'd get a software update that would enable Samsung Pay.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayendra:
So in theory, if we flash a Tmobile firmware, will Pay work? Will have the bloatware but I'm not too worried about bloat. Can be disabled with Package Disabler Pro

Edit: Sorry, I was stupid. the two have different model numbers.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Not going to happen. You're dealing with two completely different model of phones. The T-Mobile firmware is for SM-N920T. We have an SM-N920I. You cannot flash N920T firmware on an N920I. Odin and the phone's security policy won't allow it.

What a damn disappointment..... Vodafone wallet it's not working because note 5 was not officially launched in many countries so it won't get certified soon.... Android pay is only for USA, samsung pay also.... What a f*cking joke.... I was hoping to pay with my phone. What's the point of a flagship smartphone when certain apps and features I can't use....
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
It's not that cut and dry. The way Android Pay and Samsung Pay work, they have to work with local banks in each individual country. One worldwide mass rollout just isn't feasible. There's way too much legal and political risk.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire2802:
Really? That's your explanation? Come on bro.... Google wallet is available for years... It never came to Europe, and Android Pay will never come also.

I don't know your country of origin but.... I sent 2 weeks ago over 1000€ to get the note 5.... And I'm just sick and tired of waiting to use certain features.

Go back a page and read what i said about that.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire2802:
What's the point of flashing the Australian firmware when I should wait until Q1 2016? I kinda want it now :)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
It's kinda not going to happen. Samsung Pay is not available on any N920I firmware. So, unless you get root and someone creates a flashable Samsung Pay package that actually works (so far, no one has), then you have to wait until Samsung Pay launches in some country where the N920I is sold. The first of those countries will be Australia.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayendra:
Android Pay should work on XSA, right?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
To the best of my knowledge, yes.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyd9:
There's more to it... In order to get root, you'll trip KNOX. Once you trip KNOX, samsung pay is unusable anyway.

Android Pay is working fine on my N920c (using XSP region firmware) on a US (AT&T) carrier. Thankfully, I don't even have to know how to read Arabic. :)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
I didn't even think about that, but you're absolutely right. In the end, companies don't f**k around when it comes to security and people's money. This is a good thing, and therefore, I'm alright with needing to keep your phone on the up and up in order to use that stuff. Security > all when it comes to your money.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
There's also an IMEI component. I swapped my phone and had to wait three days while Samsung Pay updated my account/file with the second device's IMEI. Different model numbers will be noted in the IMEI. So with either inclusion or exclusion lists a phone could be blocked just based on model/region info read from the IMEI. With rooted devices blocked regardless there's not a lot of creativity that can be applied to getting a phone to work when Samsung or a carrier doesn't want it to.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HNIC215:
I was stuck between a rock and a hard place, so to speak, when it came to Samsung Pay. I was really excited for it. Wanted to try it when it was released in the states. Spoke to a rep over the phone and explained I have the international model.

They said it's only available on U.S. carrier models but once Samsung Pay is released in the origin country of your model, you should be able to use it in any participating country.

However, after thinking about it and reading more about Samsung Pay in America. I sort of lost my excitement. It's a great technology but we are in a process of switching to chip and pin here in the states. Also transitioning to these new types payment systems.

Not only that but a large majority of banks and institutions aren't backing Samsung Pay just yet. So who knows when all these cards will line up in order to make it a great experience.

I immediately rooted my phone a few hours later and have no regrets.

I'll enjoy Samsung Pay once it's fully supported. For now, I'll enjoy my rooted phone with the customizations only Android provides.

It will probably take at least another year for it (Samsung Pay, Apple Pay etc...) to become prevalent everywhere. By then I'll probably have a new phone anyway.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotaro_14:
It's not just the U.S, the Korean models had it before the U.S did. So if you have the Korean Note5, it should work too.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clubtech:
Let's see how the rollout will go. Samsung is notorious to duplicate Android services and then shutting them down because they didn't work out.

By far i prefer Android pay because it will worn on any device, no matter the origin as long as it has NFC, not rooted and using it in a supported country.

I hope Android Pay will this time indeed expand into international markets as well.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chobie:
Samsung Pay doesn't need to be directly supported by retail stores. What's good about it is imitates the magnetic strip's of your existing cards that you normally swipe. I actually think it's better than android and apple pay.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
The easiest to use and best designed NFC-based app was Softcard. With Google's acquisition of it I was hoping it would be the base of Wallet II. It wasn't. In my brief use of it Android Pay was no better designed or easier to use than Wallet I. Samsung Pay is well designed even if it were NFC-only.

For a V1 product, at launch, the banks and credit card companies supporting Samsung Pay is impressive. One of those is Amex who was a Softcard founder. That alone says something about their view of the Google acquisition. I can't imagine anyone with access to both Samsung Pay and Android Pay choosing the latter.

As for chip and PIN it'll take some time before all the terminals are updated. And those updated terminals are likely to support NFC. People are forgetting Wallet I's failure was over Google's demand for using data it collected for marketing and advertising purposes which the financial industry rebuked. Maybe their approach changed with Wallet II but Google has enough of my data so with a choice I'll pass on Android Pay.

P.S. - Neither work with rooted phones.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HNIC215:
I agree. I know it doesn't need to be supported by retail stores.

I think it's better at the moment than those two as well - even with less support than Apple Pay.

Really not sure why you quoted me... lol

My point in my quote was that I have an international model (N920i) that won't get Samsung Pay until the country of origin (Singapore, in this case) gets it.

So knowing that and knowing that credit card swipe tech is slowly being transitioned to chip and pin/NFC in the states. It made more sense for me to root now and enjoy the benefits of rooting, instead of waiting for Samsung Pay to roll out to the rest of the world. You can't root and use Samsung Pay - ever.

I switch phones often, so for me it was an easy decision in the end. I'll try Samsung Pay/Apple Pay/Whatever Pay once it's more prevalent in and around society - on my next phone. :D

Second, Please re-read what you quoted... and the message I was replying to. There's a reason I usually quote at least part of any message I reply to.

1. Samsung Pay won't work on any 'i' or 'c' device at the present time (that I'm aware of.)

2. Android Pay will.

3. Samsung Pay won't work on any device (regardless of which variant it is) if KNOX is tripped at the present time.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craleb:
My mistake, I got really excited and wasn't thinking when I read "android pay"

I get a lot of notifications to replies (I guess I don't have it set for quotes) and I miss a lot so I figured it wouldn't hurt to PM you, like I said I was excited and dumb. Sorry to have bothered you so much.

I will still be excited when pay comes to I & c devices.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2kdriver80:
Stupid question...

But, is there a hardware component involved to use Samsung Pay? Does the phone itself require some kind of MST transmitter? If the N920I model has the transmitter, then a proper future firmware could allow SP to work, otherwise would think not.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dboss007:
Every Note 5 has the hardware necessary for Samsung Pay. I was actually able to use my International Note 5 for awhile with Samsung Pay because I had an AT&T Note 5 prior to my current International version and somehow that activates your Samsung Pay account for use with any Note 5. However, with the most recent version of Samsung Pay, all of my registered cards have been disabled. I'm guessing there's an additional check that Samsung Pay now does to verify your phone. It's really a joke how Samsung is managing this program to disallow their own phones from using this service.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s2kdriver80:
Thanks for the reply. Also, I know that Samsung Pay works with cards from American and South Korean banks for now. Therefore, SP should work with American credit cards on mag stripe readers when traveling in Europe right? If it does, do you have to be roaming using ATT's SIM, or is SP still functional with a local European SIM in the phone?
