[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] charter3554:
Have you tried if you can pay using Samsung pay from within the Chase app?

And also have you tried using something like Mobil Exxon Speedpass Plus app, and paying using Samsung pay from within that Speedpass app?

Samsung pay works on my Exynos S7, but it doesn't work in conjunction with those other apps, unlike on my United States based S6 Edge Plus which works fine with the other app tie ins..

I had AFG ROM on my S7 (930F),yesterday I flashed with XSA rom(BL AP CS CSC) and wiped everything. Spay was buildin in XSA but I didn't open for the first time bootup. I sideloaded spayfw_2.9.38-293801000 and spay_3.0.00-300000040 (downloaded from apkmirror) and reboot the device. Then open the Spay and finished the registration. I was able to add all of my VISA cards, Discover card and Amex card. For discover and Amex, the zip code was required but I only entered the first four digits. Today I tested all the card and they work fine. Also, I disabled autoupdate of apps from Galaxy app store (shows me newer version of Spay is available). I was able to link the chase pay to samsung pay and I used that today and works fine. But if i go to google app store and find Spay app it shows your device is not compatible message. besides that everything seems good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] robothux:
Thanks for your information. I have been using my S7 edge(G935FD) on XSG for a long time with an old version of SPay and compatible SPay framework. However out of my mind, I upgrade the framework and make the SPay unable to work(that starts up with strange error).

Finally I tried your combination and use both spayfw_2.9.38-293801000 and spay_3.0.00-300000040 from apkmirror, that works perfectly. My luck is that this framework 2.9.38 is newer than my updated framework, otherwise I would have to downgrade the SPay framework which makes it a little bit complex. And this new framework and SPay gives me more features to use. I can also link Chase Pay to the SPay to get bonus from Chase, which my old SPay fails.

So just give you a data point that spayfw_2.9.38-293801000 + spay_3.0.00-300000040 is a new combinations to work, and I used Android 7.0 without newer update, without flashing any rooms yet. Hope this could help some friends that meet similar situations.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] s11454:
Glad it work for you. I also was able to get the chase bonus. But I found that the recent promotion of paypal doesn't work. I guess that's because I'm on XSA. Also, forgot to mention earlier that I'm using Android 8.0.0
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sajanjiv:
Not working for me

Hi I read through the initial pages of this thread and flashed my S7 Edge (G935FD) with a UAE ROM G935FXXS3ERJA from SamMobile

Tried the combination suggested in this post and others including latest Spay framework and Spay from apkmobile. The apps install but the error shown is ' Connection Error' UNable to connect to Samsung Pay temporarily. Try again later.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] s11454:
Try factory reset your phone. Don't open the spay for the first time. once everything is set up(don't sync or restore anything), side load the exact version of spay and framework (spayfw_2.9.38-293801000 and spay_3.0.00-300000040 download from apkmirror). restart your phone. Then open the galaxy app and disable automatic update. See if this work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sajanjiv:
Done. Did not work unfortunately. Where can I find the ROM that is working with these two versions of Spay and framework
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] s11454:
I used the XSA(Australia) ROM. you can download it from sammobile. use the CSC(not HOME CSC, make sure to enable OEM unlock in developers mode before go to download mode) when you flash it. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sajanjiv:
Thanks much. That should be OK to flash on a UAE phone right. (Sorry if this is a dumb question)

Also, the XSA rom is not available for GM-935FD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] s11454:
Yes, it is true that there is no XSA rom for dual sim version. But You can use XSA version of G935F (not G935FD) because samsung use same firmware for F and FD. Also, try the October ROM not the November one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jaiy:
I also have a UAE G935FD. Mine came with the XSG firmware, which is still on my phone and up-to-date (version G935FXXU3ERJA). SPayFW is 2.9.08 and SPay is 2.8.91, both from apkmirror.

Works with US cards and the US rewards points menus.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nashi20002003:
Hello Jaiy.... Thanks for your posts...

I bought a Galaxy A8 SM-A530F dual sim from amazon with XSG/AE firmware. Tried to get it to work with S-pay in US. Got the same experience as you. Somehow it worked with AE version. But can't see any points. Installed spay 2.8.25 and it worked. It updated overnight and went to back to AE version. I did factory reset but it would not restore the SPFW. Then I installed only 2.8,25 and it seems it would automatically install the SPFW 2.8.72. Right now it's working with that. I just saw here that you have 2.8.91. Working., So I just downloaded and will install that. My note 9 from US has 3.7.10 and I'm scare to try it. So I wanted just to say that it seems there's been a change where spay app automatically pulls in a SPFW. If I delete Spay...thee's no framework visible anywhere. Not sure but if this has always been the case.

OK . Confirmed to work on A8(2018). 2.8.91 spay apk install updated sfpayfw to 2.9.08. This one gives me the cashback offers. Which I was not able to get in the earlier version. Since you need to click "Earn Cashback" and go to the merchant web. Up to 9% for Walmart.

OK reading in this thread that some have got an even newer version to work...I pulled the spay from apk mirror and can confirm that 3.0.00-300000040 working on my XSG/UAE galaxy A8 dual sim phone. Here again...I did not install the framework. Just installed spay apk and it upgraded my spayfw to 2.9.38. I don't see anything different from my previous version but newer is always better I guess.

Update: I'm now to the latest version 3.7.10 the same as on my Note 9 US version. I installed the apk from apk mirror. and it updated the framework to 3.0.26 Did not have to re enter my cards...smooth upgrade. But nothing different from what I can tell in the app. Gift cards, Home page and store not working. Wallet, Rewards & Deals are the showing. Do not have chase but I think it should work. No paypal offer.

I purchased the International 935f on ebay and received a U.A.E product code model. I flashed the UK BTU firmware, installed latest Samsung Pay and Framework. Can't get Samsung Pay to work. Get the infamous "Cannot connect to server" error. I'm in the US on AT&T. Do I need to give up hope? Is there another work around that can get Samsung Pay working?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] psufan5:
Why would you have changed from UAE, when UAE is the one that works in the US? Go back to it. I am currently on UAE enjoying samsung pay.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dmorriss86:
Thanks! I'll give that a try. Everywhere I read said the BTU firmware was best but I guess not in my case. Appreciate the feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
What he said. I was able to setup and use Samsung Pay on BTU but maybe because my device is already registered ? Anyways, UAE will definitely work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] onurd:
I got my SM-G935FD (dual sim version) to work with Samsung Pay in the USA with my AMEX. The BTU rom would't activate but the XSG CSC activated just fine. Since I know that people had luck with the BTU CSC, I assume you get to activate with the original CSC of your phone. Most of the 935F's are european and 935FD's are middle eastern. Although my original CSC was AFG, after some flashing different CSC roms, I lost the AFG and even if I put the original AFG rom downloaded with SAMFIRM, it defaults to XSG (which is Arab Emirates). Here is how I get it to work:

1) Downloaded latest 935F rom through SAMFIRM for the CSC XSG (which is D1). The rom is absolutely fine for the 935FD.

2) Flashed using Odin 3.11.1 with the CSC (not home_CSC and repartitioned at the same time). WARNING: You will loose all your data

3) Downloaded the latest SAMSUNG PAY FRAMEWORK (2.2.03) and SAMSUNG PAY APK (2.0.27) from APKMIRROR.COM and installed both.

4) Restarted the phone

5) Activated samsung pay with my samsung account and added my AMEX.

I used SAMSUNG PAY now in two stores (once via NFC and once using the regular stripe reader).

Good luck to everyone trying to get it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] J o s e p h:
Great news!! You think the same will work with the Egyptian G935F? I'm on AT&T live in the US.

Thank you for sharing.

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

And what cards did you all add? I have Amex Discover Chase anyone tried one of those?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] onurd:
I don't see why it would not work but you might have to change your csc to xsg.

I tried Amex which was the easiest to activate. Chase activated after a customer service call. Capitalone didn't work. I don't have a discover card so cannot help you with that one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] J o s e p h:
SO I GOT SAMSUNG PAY TO FINALLY WORK!!

Thank you all for the comments and help, after nearly yet literally 4 hours of trying out the BTU with no hope.. I flashed the XSG without re-partition and SPay is working but never actually tested it tho (Purchasing).

I was able to add my AMEX and Chase cards.. the Discover got me the " server error" and the CapitolOne and Barclycard were " Not Supported yet".

I'm on AT&T and I NOTICED that I got an EXTRA BAR of service when I was on the BTU ROM comparing to the factory EGY and the XSG that I just flashed..... do you guys think it's just a considence ? or the ROMs have some effect on the reception quality?

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
If I'm not mistaken, you can flash the BTU radio file? Anybody know?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] whelmar:
I think the 'bar' thing is how they display the values. I had the same experience coming from a TPU csc to the XSG version. Drilling down into the status, looking at the signal strength( actual numbers), they return the same number either rom... but the bars do look different.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kellex:
Anyone have the ultra newb step by step guide? For example, I have no idea how to fully setup SamFirm, which exact software I need, etc. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lazard:
1. Visit sammobile.com and register for a free account.

2. Login and click on the Firmwares tab. In the searchbox, type your model (SM-G935F)

3. Search for the latest firmware release for United Arab Emirates (dated 2016-04-25). Select regular download (will take probably 2-3 hours).

4. Once finished, extract the files (using software of your choice 7zip, winrar, winzip, etc.) You'll see 5 files, AP, BL, CP, CSC, and Home.CSC.

5. Download Odin 3.11.1 (can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451)

6. On your phone, go to Settings -> Lock Screen and Security -> Secure Startup -> Require Pin when device turns on. Enter a 4 digit pin when prompted.

7. Backup any apps, settings, data that you need/want.

8. Turn off your phone and then turn on in download mode (hold vol. down, home, power at the same time). You'll see a screen that asks you to press vol. up to continue. You'll then be in download mode.

9. Connect phone to your laptop/pc.

10. Open Odin. You'll see a column of buttons on the right side (BL, AP, CP, CSC). Click on BL then select the BL file that you downloaded earlier. Do the same for AP, CP, and CSC. Once all 4 files are loaded, press start.

11. After everything finishes installing, your phone will restart and you'll be prompted for the 4 digit pin you set up earlier. Enter it, and then you'll start the inital phone setup.

12. After you finish the setup, go to apkmirror.com and download the latest version of samsung pay and samsung pay framework.

13. Install samsung pay framework first, then samsung pay.

14. Add your cards.

15. If you want, go back to your security settings and turn off the require pin when device turns on.

Will this method work outside USA if I have USA credit/debit cards (BOA or Citi).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shiner66:
Yup, it will. I flashed the BTU firmware and works like a charm.

Please help. Now i have btu, but i live in Sweden. If i try it works until i have to add billing address. If i try to add my address is not working. How have you done. And i have to say that i am trying to add an swedish card. Will it work?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
Is your Sweetish card your trying to add supported?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bamse84:
It is an swedish bank card.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shiner66:
Obviously you need a US card, the trick is to set a US billing address and it will go ahead

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bamse84:
Ok. Then, no luck for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
Yeah. It's one thing getting Samsung Pay to work in different regions, but you can't get unsupported banks to work no matter what. Best suggestion is to contact your bank and request them to support Samsung Pay (They may also be in the process of adding support.) One of my banks currently isn't supported and the bank stated that they are currently in the finalization of the process. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bamse84:
Ok. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cydyjjshan:
My error is unique, every one seems work until adding credit cards

I got the connection error when I started the app, could not log in...

I am using BTU and ATT in US:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
That error isn't unique. I believe that's been the only real error anyone has gotten. The adding card problem is when a user tries to add an unsupported card, but that really isn't an error. Anyways, I'm back in the same boat as you are. Although BTU worked for me previously, after wiping my phone due to sd card write issues, Samsung Pay is no longer working and giving me the same old error. Don't understand why it worked on BTU for me before and now it won't.

<rant>

I am really frustrated with Samsung. I previously had a SM-G935T (T-mobile branded S7 Edge) which obviously had working Samsung Pay. I decided to sell it in exchange for a SM-G935F model to remove carrier restrictions, and also get the White Pages integration. I know I can get Samsung Pay working with certain CSC's which is no issue, but I don't understand why they disable certain features based on what SIM card I have inserted into my phone. On BTU, the "Identify unsaved numbers" powered by White Pages option is greyed out with my T-mobile SIM card inserted. I thought this was supposed to be an unlocked phone! I know I can root and easily enable this feature, but that'd permanently disable Samsung Pay (Knox 0x1.) Don't understand why they are doing such things and have no customer support. I really love this device but also feel like my first Samsung will be my last... Anyways, if someone could help me find a way to get both Samsung Pay and Identify unsaved numbers working (on T-mobile,) I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have Korean version of G935K with AT&t in the US.

1. I tried to install updates to existing factory Samsung Pay, then when I get into the app I got the message "insert a SIM card for the country you are in now"... I am in the US with US SIM, so what is it?

2. I tried another way. Uninstalled all updates, downloaded Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Framework from apkmirror.com

Then I installed them both, restarted, went all the way through, didn't get previous "SIM message". I am trying to add a card (Bank of America and Chase), it scans, ask for the name and CSC code, but when it tries to connect and verify I got a message "Unable to connect to Samsung Pay"

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
Damn, that's strange. What CSC is it on?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ighost77:
It's KTC.

I didn't touch the firmware yet :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
I just realized that's the only firmware for that model... I have no ideas for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ighost77:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] psufan5:
Switch to the UAE firmware and it will work on AT&T in the US.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] psufan5:
Anyone know of any other firmware that works in the US besides the UAE?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shiner66:
Delete.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
At the moment, IDK. I know Singapore is releasing super soon. Also, weirdly, my phone shipped with EGY. I flashed BTU and Samsung Pay worked. I wiped my phone and it no longer works...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ighost77:
Do you know if I can even install G935F firmware to G935K? Or I shouldn't even try ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
I'm no expert on that, but I believe it has the same specs (exynos.) I'd think so but you might want to ask in the firmware thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Yakuzahi:
I ordered the G930F from Amazon but they sent to me the G930FD (asia version with 2 SIM card tray).

The question is should I keep it or to send it back and get the EU version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
Aren't the firmwares identical? Or at least compatible with each other?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Yakuzahi:
What is there to check? the build number? And with regard to the G935F, when you opened it for the first time, did it start from the lock screen or did it start from the setup menu?

Mine just came with the swipe to unlock when I powered it for the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
Well the build #'s are different, but should be compatible...? I'm running the APE9 Indian (Only for now while I wait for BTU or OJV to be updated.) G935FD system on my G935F.

As far as the device when I received it... It still had Samsung's factory seal on it. It started at the initial device setup. What was the seller you got it from on Amazon? I've heard way too many cases of the devices being open already. (Maybe they tried selling them on Swappa or something similar???)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Yakuzahi:
The name is: NGP STORE USA. The thing is that even now when I searching for G930F his name comes up, like he have the G930F.

I contact Amazon for full return and I did factory reset and the setup came right after so I don't understand how it came set up already.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
It sounds like the device was somewhat used. I bought mine from a seller named Mobiles International LLC. I'd recommend buying from them as they guaranteed that all devices would be new in box unless otherwise stated.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] psufan5:
You can just put the firmware on from another country. Mine is from Panama, but I have UAE on it since Samsung Pay works with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Yakuzahi:
I understand, but the phone came used so I'm sending it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CollinFX45:
Thank you for taking the time to type this up. Unfortunately it did not work for me. I have the SM-G930F and followed this to a T with the UAE firmware, which installed without issue. I still get the server error when adding my AmEx or my Bank of America cards. Any ideas anyone? I would be forever grateful.

I bought the dual sim card, updated the phone, and installed Samsung pay apps. It worked right away. I don't know the csc of the phone or country. Bank of America is working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jc95:
I'm a bit late to this thread but have some observations and questions. I have 3 Samsung phones, all completely stock: an AT&T-branded S6 (G920A, running G920AUCU3CPD6 OTA), an international S7E (G935F) and a 2nd int'l S7E (G935FD). Both S7Es are running G935FXXU1APD1/G935FOJV1APD1. I side-loaded Samsung Pay 2.0.27 and Samsung Pay Framework 2.2.03 from APK Mirror on the S7Es. Installs were uneventful. The S6 has been running with Samsung Pay since launch and works fine. The FD variant of S7E works fine with Samsung Pay. I can add cards and make purchases. The S7E F variant gets the "server connection error/time out" when attempting to add any card. All credit cards used are US and supported by SPay (Chase, Wells Fargo, etc.) I'm puzzled why the FD variant works but the F does not, given that they are running (I think) the same software. Everything on the software info pages is 100% identical for the F & FD phones. I frankly wasn't expecting SPay to work on either phone but that it works perfectly on one and not the other is puzzling. (FWIW, I'm only using one sim in the FD phone). All sims are AT&T.

I've seen discussion that encrypted devices cause/caused problems earlier. But Marshmallow seems to have removed the encrypt/decrypt device settings. Now it's require screen lock when device turns on, or not. In any case, that setting does not seem to make any difference on any of the phones when adding cards. It works the same on each phone whether this is set or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CollinFX45:
I don't have anything useful to add because I cannot get it to work on my "F" version either, but I'm starting to think there's more to it than just whatever version of software we install. Is there something else in the phone that is identifying an unsupported country perhaps? I have the identical firmware and model number to many others who have this working successfully. I tried multiple versions of Samsung Pay as well and have several supported US credit/debit cards. This is such a bummer. I went out of my way to return my dual-sim version and got this thinking it would work with Samsung Pay. I absolutely refuse to use a Snapdragon variant from the US, so I guess I'm stuck without S-Pay for a while :(
