[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yubeie:
hi all,

I have an s7 (930f) with csc XSG. Samsung pay has been working fine for a couple of months now.

Samsung pay app Version: 2.2.02

Samsung pay. framework version: 2.4.02

The app has been giving me prompts to update offlate. Is it safe to update? does it require framework update?

would you please confirm the versions of spay and framework that are known to work with xsg?

I am running the latest xsg firmware XXU1BPH6 (security patch level aug 1st 2016)

Thanks!

Yubeie did you happen to read my post 2 posts ago ?_?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yubeie:
Thank you for the reply. Yes, I did. Unfortunately, the version of apk and framework wasn't clear. Please note that I already have mine working for a few months now. It's just that I'm trying to check if I should update to the latest version, the app keeps promoting me.

Have you tried getting a new SIM card? Perhaps it's damaged, shouldn't cost anything to replace it.

Does anyone know if flashing the AMO firmware will get Spay to work in an S6 Edge 925F?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dak979:
Just got G935FD yesterday, loving it so far. I'm in the US, I got the UAE version.

After upgrading the software, I see that what is currently installed is G935FXXU1BPH6, which is the latest version for UAE.

I got excited since I saw that the recommendations in this thread seem to favor UAE for Samsung Pay.

I got the latest APKs from apkmirror, installed Framework first then the app itself. Unfortunately, no luck. I am stuck at the main screen, the one where they show the video. If I click "Start >", I am not taken to any other page.

Samsung Pay Framework 2.5.00

Samsung Pay 2.4.25

Running on T-mobile.

Appreciate any help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yubeie:
Factory reset and use this combo:

Samsung pay app Version: 2.2.02

Samsung pay. framework version: 2.4.02

That should work as I'm on the same build on my sm930f and spay works fine. Your post confirms that the latest version of apk and framework break spay.. I'll stick to the old version for now!

hello good sir!

I was wondering if i could flash Australia (XSA) firmware G935FXXS1BPIB (latest update) on my s7 edge G935f UAE (XSG, G935FXXU1BPH6) without damaging it? Australia has Spay since June 15, 2016... and can i change my CSC from XSG to XSA so that i could update my phone OTA?

its my first android phone, i got it a month ago. so im new kid on the block.. long time iphone user... so far i love the s7 edge and i just cant use the Spay and its a real bummer.

please help! thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yubeie:
As long as it's the same chipset (exynos), you can. The key thing to note is changing between csc requires you to flash the csc file and not home_csc.

For example, my device was originally a Panama variant. I flashed UAE firmware (csc XSG) to get spay working. I've been noticing in this thread that csc DBT (German firmware) has also been a great alternative.

You can search my posts in this thread and you will find conversations regarding flashing procedures.

Flashing official firmware doesn't trip KNOX and OTAs will work like normal. It's one of the safest and easiest thing to install on the device using ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] joyandah:
thanks for the reply!

can i flash an older version of Australian firmware and then update it OTA? because the latest version in sammobil site is corrupted
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yubeie:
absolutely!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sunheatyy:
Wow, what a long thread.

I was just wondering whether anyone has got a 935FD (dual sim version) working. My firmware came as the UAE version. I installed latest version of framework and pay app, it won't go past the start screen. No message given either.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jhunkab:
Yes it is working.. Same ideas (choices of CSC, method of sideloading, requirements of knox intact etc) apply.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sunheatyy:
Thanks for your reply. Can you point me where I can read more about choice of CSC? If the UAE version came with the phone didn't work for me, does it mean I need to flash XSA stock (I'm in Australia)? And what are the difference in sideloading methods? I just downloaded the APKs on my phone and turned on installing from unverified sources. Do I need a USB and use ADB? And how do I check with Knox is intact? I appreciate it if you can point me to the correct read.

I flashed the BTU firmware for the UK, and turned right around and flashed the Australian XSA csc file. Samsung Pay is set up, and working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CesarTJ:
Not sure if anyone has posted this (didnt read the complete thread) but i have been able to activate 2 international phones with Samsung pay (note 7 Singapor and edge 7 Korean) using this method: download and install the APK and APP from the links in this thread (latest version) turn on airplane mode but then turn on wifi only, install and register, before adding cards turn off airplane mode.

YO! Wasn't meaning to be a dork, just forgot the smiley at the end. Also lighten up yo...:D

--> Did anyone using ATT in the NOVA/MD/DC area have connection issues today? My service was on & off most of the day until this evening - hoping this is why my Cell Standby is at 26% right now.

I've been using Germany/DBT for a couple months now, no issues until this past week as sometimes my debit card isn't working. I used to be able to use it as a credit card instead of debit (saves me from entering my PIN) but now this doesn't work anymore. Not necessarily a complaint as this could be a security update - only downside is that Harris Teeter grocery store doesn't request a PIN when the total is under $10 or such, so cannot use it for small purchases.

Even though Germany/DBT is working well think this week I'm going to flash Spain/AMO for wifi calling. I seem to remember reading that AMO doesn't provide SS freebies/offers in the US, but the only gift cards I've received lately are those I wouldn't necessarily use anyway (yes I did use them, and of course spent more $$$ than was planning to... their marketing surely worked on me!).

--> As I write this just received an update notice for Germany/DBT. I'm on G935FXXS1APG3_G935FOXJ1APF1_DBT as of now, not sure what the new version# is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] robstunner:
There was some kind of huge hack going on in the East coast today. Perhaps that was the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Perhaps... most other ATT folks I mentioned this to didn't lose full service, only intermittent. Damn, really miss the days of root as I would have just restored a backup instead of a full flash. Picked up a new SIM later on just in case. All is AOK now but what a PITA.

Too tired to flash Spain/AMO now, later on my day off.. Looking forward to wifi calling though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChristopherXDA:
I'm on the Germany firmware and never lost att service during the DNS hack here in CT. Also havent had any Samsung pay issues on Visa or amex running latest apks. I also received the Oct OTA update earlier last week.

Definitely am enjoying the dbt firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Yeah, I seem to be the only one in my circle (ATT) that had issues, none since but have another SIM on the way anyway.

Tell the truth I've also been extremely happy with DBT, just want to check out wifi calling (Spain/AMO) as I'm around private wifi much of the time anyway so why not use it.

-- Also have never used wifi calling. Actually not true as there used to be a gvoice app that worked great, but it's been a few years now..

-- Never come close to using up my monthly data because of my habits but perhaps it's time I get "wild" and start using what I'm paying for.:p to you ATT/etc!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] benblb:
I get a server error when I try to add a card. Just flashed XSA (not just CSC, full software) and I'm based in the US. I've tried both Chase and Citi (officially supported in Aus) cards.

Help?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Did you install the full package? --> This is the wrong method

Or did you extract it and then install the separate files? --> This is the correct method

-- AP, BL, CP, CSC (not Home CSC)

I've read of slight success using Home CSC but don't much on this. Home CSC doesn't wipe your data but personally I don't take the chance and flash the normal CSC as I just don't have the time for major testing these days. I'd rather restore my data once over 2x.

EDIT:

Has anyone on AMO/Spain tried using a different CSC? I don't know much about CSC so wondering if the whitepages & wifi calling might work when flashing a different CSC, such as DBT/Germany? I understand the CSC stands for 'country specific customizations' or such, but don't know if this stuff (whitepages & wifi calling) is baked into AP or included in CSC.

Only reason I ask is because I remember reading in the past that SPay was in Spanish using AMO - now that I think of it I'm not sure if this was because of the version of SP/SPfirmware installed and/or if because it was just the AMO firmware itself... I don't remember which firmware I'd installed at the time but I do remember updating the SP/firmware myself instead of through Gurgle Pain and it did work for me. This might work for AMO also...

Still planning to try AMO anyway next week, perhaps I'm due for a couple days off soon:) I'll post my results if so.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HalVllVler:
So for those who are running the DBT software and received the October OTA, that would mean you're now on the following, correct?

PDA Version: G930FXXS1BPJ1

CSC Version: G930FDBT1BPH2

Phone Version: G930FXXU1BPHJ

I have the above software, the 2.5.00 Framework, and SPay 2.3.00. SPay is accepting cards and all seems well. I received a server error when attempting to load an Amex into 2.4.25, so I backed it off before trying other card types. Has anyone had success with 2.4.25?

I am curious, why does DBT work if SPay isn't yet available in Germany (at least according to the SPay website and Wikipedia)?

Once we get s-pay working, is it ok to update the app and framework?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Sedado77:
s pay usually works like ass :S
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
:confused:

Did you sideload the SP/Framework? Read through this thread and install the latest Samsung Pay & Samsung Pay Framework and it will work just fine (not sure about AMEX as I don't use it). I'm on a short vaca so don't feel like searching for the links, perhaps another member may help you out. Another thought though: read the entire thread, everything you need is here.

The latest versions I know of are these:

- SP 2.3.00

- SP Framework 2.5.00

- Only reason I know is because I have the apk's on my phone

- There should be updates available on the apk site but I've been updating through my device as all is working for me

Your PDA/CSC/etc may vary as Samsung seems to release 2 versions each time, not sure why exactly. My info CSC lately is OXJ while your's is DBT - there may be more region specific stuff that I don't know about.

Perhaps someone else may have more info. Good luck, again read the thread my grasshopper:laugh::good:

---------- Post added 30th October 2016 at 12:08 AM ---------- Previous post was 29th October 2016 at 11:43 PM ----------

I've updated SP through update, can't remember if I updated SF also. Never mind, just checked my previous posts: at the minimum I did this about 6 weeks ago, all is well. Still not sure if I sideloaded the framework but I do know that I definitely updated SP through my device. Also have received various $5 cards also. What I do know is that after flashing DBT I did sideload both.

On another note: I don't know or understand why others are having issues with SP? Tonight I picked up something from Safeway in NOVA/DC area and the cashier told me this was the first time it worked for any of his customers. Also just about every time I use my GS7 the cashier/etc is very surprised that it works? Is the the same for ya'll?

I use my GS7 in and around the DC area: Harris Teeter, ABC, Hess, UPS, Giant, Safeway, etc, etc...

I'm not bragging or such, only curious for more info as to why almost everywhere I use SP they tell me it won't work, and then it does?

EDIT: 10.30.2016 @ 12:18am - didn't realize that SP (according to apkmirror) is up to 2.4.33 [com.samsung.android.spay_2.4.33-243300120_minAPI21(nodpi)] so will wait on this until I have time.:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HalVllVler:
Thanks for the concern, but I don't understand the need for the patronizing tone and I don't currently need any help. As I said in my post, I have SPay running fine on v2.3.00 and I use it regularly; something I did by reading this thread, including your numerous and very helpful suggestions. Thank you for those. My only questions were about whether anyone has had success on the newer version (newer than what you and I are running) and why CSCs for a country that doesn't have SPay would allow SPay. As far as I can see, the only reference to v2.4.25 in the thread are my own and one from someone who hasn't had success with it. If the CSC question has been answered, then I apologize. But, come on, don't patronize people, especially if you don't fully read their posts. Enjoy your vacation.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Not sure how I was patronizing but I do apologize that you took my response(s) this way. Have a good one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] benblb:
I'm also wondering about this. I get server errors on XSA when I try to add my US cards. Guessing it's because I have the newest app and framework. Thoughts? Fixes without having to factory reset (again)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] saluja04:
I have been following this thread since the early days. I installed DBT firmware (CSC) on my g935fd (on ATT in the US) back in May or so. I installed the latest Samsung Pay at the time and had been using it successfully until last week, when I tried to add my new credit card. I got the dreaded "could not connect to server. Try again later" error message and decided to reset it. I was not successful.

After resetting, I tried to add cards but could not progress beyond the intro screens. I deleted and re-installed the latest APK (version 2.4.33), but I couldn't get past the intro video. I lost hope but then stumbled back upon this thread. I read back and decided to wipe the phone and start again with AMO firmware since it would hopefully restore Samsung Pay and as well add WiFi dialing. Why not?

I flashed it (wiping cache several times) and installed framework version 2.4.02 and s-pay version 2.2.02 at the suggestion of yubeie in post #699. I was able to progress further than I had before! The app let me enter my card information! Unfortunately it did not recognize any of my cards. I suspect it only recognizes cards issued by Spanish banks. I tried two Chase cards (Sapphire Preferred and Reserve) and an Amex SPG card, all unsuccessful. I tried to update the app via settings > About Samsung Pay (it added Payment Services and then updated the app itself), still no dice.

Do any of you have advice for me? If this doesn't work out, I'll try the UAE csc in a couple days. If that still doesn't work, I'll no longer have a reason not to root, and I will install xposed as well as Viper4Audio, since the audio on this phone is probably my biggest gripe!

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
I'm just curious - did you ODIN the full package or did you extract it and then install AP/BL/CP/CSC? And if so did you use CSC or CSC Home?

I haven't yet tried AMO. Actualy I did some months ago but immediately switched to DBT/Germany because I wanted the latest freebies that were offered (and did receive them). Myself I'm planning to try AMO because I also would like wifi calling. At the moment my SPay is 2.3.00, framework is 2.5.00. Just checked SPay and it's telling me that there is a 2.4.02 update. I'll update it now, won't be able to use it until tomorrow . Hope it works as I just really like it! Find out next time I make a purchase tomorrow.:fingers-crossed: (don't normally use smileys, not sure why this one looks like "fingers-crossed"?)

If it doesn't work I'll try re-flashing DBT and using what I think I installed originally (SP 2.3, SPF 2.4.02) Not sure if these were the originals, but also I was able to update them previously and have had no issues since. Hope this update works because I really like SP.

EDIT: Not sure if this will help as my memory is fuzzy. You cannot uninstall the Framework but I believe you can uninstall the SP app - forgot about this! You might try uninstalling SPay and then sideloading the latest SPay app...

EDIT AGAIN: While leaving the existing framework installed, just uninstall SPay, sideload SPay --> after this if all works, then try updating the framework. I think my framework updated on it's own after this through SS (don't think GPlay did this?) Again it's working for me now but not sure about 12 hours from now..

On another note: I hope this doesn't seem 'patronizing' to any members - I only like to provide as much info as possible and certainly don't want to offend anybody:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] saluja04:
Definitely not patronizing at all! Glad to see a response as I was losing hope!

I extracted the firmware package before using ODIN. By that I mean I loaded each file individually. I also used CSC, and not CSC Home.

So far, AMO is fine, though I haven't really had a chance to test the white pages feature, and I haven't gotten wifi calling to work on AT&T, but I haven't pressed it much. I did notice that I wasn't receiving MMS/group texts while it was turned on, so I turned it off before I had a chance to really do any research. I'm using ATT; I suspect there is a APN that needs to be added/changed to make wifi calling work. This leads me to believe it won't for me, or at least, won't work while MMS is on. Wifi calling is a fun gimmick for me, as I never use more than my minutes allotment, so if it doesn't work, I guess it's not a huge deal.

I'm debating going back to DBT. I wonder if the reason SPay didn't work for me after I re-flashed DBT has to do with the fact that I did not wipe the cache. Prior to flashing the AMO firmware, I wiped it three or four times. I'll be sure to do that if and when I flash DBT!

I really just want SPay. Let us know if the update works for you!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HalVllVler:
You and I are at least on the same carrier in the same country (ATT/US), but I'm on the G930F. I'm running DBT CSCs and have had success with the same framework and SPay version as mkoyskip (2.5 and 2.3, respectively). On newer versions of SPay, I've been able to get to the point where I am putting in my address for a card, but not past that. Since SPay 2.3 and Whitepages is working for me, I'll probably stick with these versions until Nougat is available. Long story short, if and when you switch back to DBT, maybe try Framework 2.5 and SPay 2.3.

Also of interest, I too experienced MMS issues on the stock Samsung texting app after flashing new firmware. Switching to Awsms/Textra/QkSMS seemed to fix the problem. I'll check the system APNs tonight and see if there is anything odd.

Good luck! SPay is worth the effort. It's funny to have cashiers say "oh, we don't accept phone payments yet" and meanwhile you've already finished paying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Hmmm... Another question: have you flashed the newer versions of SPay/SPFramework and then had issues adding a card, or is this only after updating an older verison of SPay? I haven't performed a flash for a while and again used older versions of both, but haven't had any issues after updates. I haven't tried a reflash using the later versions of SPay/F though. After updating SPay last night I was able to use my existing cards today without a hitch. I suppose the next thing for me to do is remove one of my cards, then try to add it again to make sure it still works.

-->> I went ahead and removed my Wells Fargo CC then added it again. You mentioned "putting in my address for a card" - are you entering everything manually or using the camera when adding to SPay? I've always used the camera/scanner to add cards and never need to input anything but perhaps the CSV code, my signature, and an authorization code or such sent to me through text and/or email.

I'm also ATT/USA, not sure why the APN's would be different since at least the 3 of us are all ATT/USA.

I have no idea when nougat will be available, and even whether or not it will be pushed to the GS7?

MMS stock seems to work for me (both wireless & cellular) but I only sent myself the MMS each time. Also the photo(s) were 5-6MB each in case this matters, haven't tried a short vid.

I don't necessarily NEED wifi calling but would like to have the option if possible, so will still plan to try AMO when I get the chance. It's definitely not a deal-breaker as DBT is working well for me now.

Whew! This was a long reply (sorry). Let us all know, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] HalVllVler:
If I remember correctly, after a full wipe and flashing the firmware I mentioned a few posts ago (including the DBT CSCs), I sideloaded 2.5 and it didn't accept my Amex, so I uninstalled it and sideloaded 2.3; success. Given that 2.3 is working with my Amex, I could try grabbing a new version off of APK Mirror and sideloading that; maybe it'll roll forward.

Regarding the address filling, I've only uploaded an Amex via the camera method. But, I still had to fill Cardholder's Name, Address, and Card ID separately. So, at least for that card, using the camera just spared me from having to type in the card number and expiration date. Based on your experiences, it sounds like different cards/banks might have different processes for authenticating a given card.

And as for Nougat, I'm referring to posts on Sammobile about benchmark testing a couple of months ago for 930F & 935F and a post from today about the starting of S7 Edge Nougat beta testing in the UK (currently the first post under "Latest News").

Interesting stuff; good info/questions!
