Got it working finally. I started with a phone with a Panama csc, nothing i tried would let it get past verifying when loading a card. Read on here that Spain csc would work so I tried that with odin from sammobile (deleted everything in the flashing process). This time it got farther in to the process, but still hung up before finalizing the card. (I did get a ton of welcome to samsung pay emails in Spanish lol) Gave up on the Spain csc since it seemed like the preloaded app was screwing with it somehow and flashed Germany csc, downloaded latest pay framework and version from apkmirror and it worked great. Added amex and chase, for some reason citi won't add. The Germany csc does have white pages which is nice and seems to be functioning perfectly. I'm on At&t in the US. I really like samsung pay so far.

Oh yeah I'm on 930F and the Germany csc was DBT. I flashed all four files included in the download firmware.

And, I was surprised how easy Samsung smart switch makes it to deal with having to erase your phone. Make sure you back everything up with it and then after you flash it'll be pretty much exactly the same as before sans signing in to a few apps.

I ditched AMO and went to XSG just to get SP working. Though previously after installing AMO I was able to add my NFCU cards but didn't have the opportunity to test them (late-night) so don't know if the SP actually works for these. Did accept the cards however, but did not accept Chase or Wells Fargo. Decided (again) to install XSG and SP works AOK. Didn't remember my cards and also didn't remember the rest of my $20 gift card.

EDIT: missed the previous post because I was busy. I also installed AMO, received "welcome' etc, SP emails, etc after installing AMO - tried uninstalling SP 2.2.01/2.2.02/etc blah blah blah - nothing worked for me. Received many emails (in Spanish) concerning installing my credit cards/etc) but nothing worked.

Installed Germany, sideloaded, SP added all my cards, whitepages (we'll see if it works). The German version also installed an Olympics theme without asking (easy enough to change), also updated to G935FXXU1BPH6_G935FOXJ1BPH3. Sammobile seems lately to be very slow acquiring the current firmwares - certainly would have rather installed this originally over updating.

Did anyone try the DBT with 935FD? I am on XSG with perfectly well working SP but would welcome whitepages and possible WIFI calling on DBT (using on AT&T in the US)

DBT is working fine on 935FD..with Spay and whitepages functionality.. But haven't been able to enable wifi calling on at&t. Don't know if I have to call att.

Query for those using SS Smart Switch:

I've noticed that after restoring a backup using Smart Switch it does not restore my accounts or app settings, also doesn't even restore all of my apps. For example it restores Nova Launcher but not Nova Prime, I need to re-enter all my accounts into Gmail, re-enable access to everything (such as my calendar app, online storage apps, etc).

Tell the truth, I'm thinking that Google cloud restore should have been the way to go because I've had to manually enter this info over & over.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] onurd:
You might have to get it enabled by calling them. I had to do it back when I had an iPhone.

There is an option for WiFi calling though?

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

Yes, app settings are unfortunately not restored which is a big hassle. It does restore your email accounts into the samsung email app though. Gmail accounts you have to re-add. I wish it would be as seamless as iPhone's backup functionality where you only have to type in passwords.

Google cloud restore isn't any better either. It still doesn't restore user data/app settings (I remember seeing an article that the app developer might add a function into the manifest that allows storing the app data on the cloud but I am not sure which apps have implemented that function)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] notamember123:
I've been watching this thread and... yikes. If there's no way to restore all of your apps and app settings after you have to flash new firmware then there's no reason to do any of this. Might as well just give up on Samsung pay if you play games/have paid apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Actually there were only a 3-4 apps that did not restore for me using Smart Switch, out of nearly 100 installed apps, so this really isn't a deal-breaker at all. Needed to re-add my Gmail accounts, specific app logins (though my Starbucks app did transfer with its data - was able to purchase a coffee without needing to re-enter my info). Many settings are also backed up/restored (YMMV) like wifi settings - also I believe wallpapers & such but I use Nova Launcher so I don't know if it really does or not. If you do use an alternate launcher it's a good idea to backup your settings on your sdcard or such because I keep forgetting this and end up losing my backup & need to redo my homescreen/settings for Nova (yes, I'm a dumbass).

Anybody use Samsung Backup? I've never really used it but checked it out on my GS7E. Under apps it states "apk files, app data, and app settings". I did find some pages that state Google Backup backs up Gmail settings but at least for me this hasn't been the case.

Also, for anyone using Germany/DBT: Sammobile lists both G935FXXU1BPH6_G935FOXJ1BPH3 & G935FXXU1BPH6_G935FDBT1BPH2, released on the same day (2016-09-01). These weren't available yesterday morning when I flashed - used G935FXXS1APG3_G935FOXJ1APF1. After flashing it updated to G935FOXJ1BPH3, so not sure what is different between the 2 releases.

Last but not least: main reason I switched around was to get whitepages because I wanted to try it out. AFR/XSG/LYS seems to work fine for SP (have had issues with some cards, sometimes adding them again a few times finally let's them work). But DBT is working for all cards that I've added. Can't say much about whitepages as for the first time in many years I only received one (YES "1") phone call today - and it suggested it as SPAM (USA phone number) so for now it's at 100% reliability:laugh:

I can't find wifi calling so this may not be supported on DBT.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] miguocache:
I am running DBT PH6 firmware and Samsung Pay Framework 2.4.02 and Samsung Pay 2.2.0.1. I tried Spay 2.2.02, but it did not work properly.

I was able to add my AMEX/CHASE/CITI cards successfully but have not tested those yet. However, I just found out I am not able to purchase gift cards in the Samsung Pay app with any of my added credit card. It gives "Failed to complete your payment. An unexpected error has occurred". It makes me worried if it will work with POS machine. I will try to find out tomorrow.

Could you try if you can buy gift card from the app, please.

Update:

I can confirm that the Samsung Pay on DBT firmware does work properly with POS machine. I made two purchases with added AMEX card and received the $10 reward debit card. Both purchases were MST transactions.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
I have used SP fairly easily (including after flashing DBT), though I still haven't tried at the gas pumps lately as I didn't have much luck on any firmware previously (although I only tried once or twice). Main thing concerning SP is that in between flashes it doesn't remember installed cards (safety first of course) but also didn't remember the rest of my $20 reward card either (think I had $5+ leftover, unfortunately I already shredded it, oh well).

If I think about it I'll try to purchase an Amazon card on Mon at the grocery store - I guess this is what you are talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] miguocache:
No. Inside the Samsung Pay app, there is a tab for gift cards along with credit/debit cards tab and membership tab. Within the gift cards tab, choose add a gift card, then there will be a option to buy gift cards using the added credit cards in Samsung Pay. I was saying this feature did not work properly, so I suspected maybe Samsung Pay does not work with POS machine as well.

I do not care about this feature anymore, as I have already tested it actually works with POS machine.

Thanks for you reply.

yeah, all i see is $5 dunkin donuts, referral code, refer a friend, rewarded BS**T, offers for new devices myself..., get reward 1st purchase (over & over again - only works 1st time AFAIK). Each time I flash firmware the offers appear again, but only works one time. no big deal. The "refer" a friend could be an option, however most "friends" are in the USA so not sure if this will work?

Also "first" purchase also doesn't work for me.....

Has anyone had any issues with Chase debit cards? Chase cards seem to be the most easily accepted from what I've seen in this thread and elsewhere
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChristopherXDA:
My s pay stopped working today saying device access denied. On the dbt firmware. Recently updated bootloader and modem so guessing that buggered something, even tho Knox not tripped. Going to dl the dbt firmware again and load it again to see what happens.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
So you updated BL & CP only? Out of curiosity how do you decide upon which modem to install? I've only been on DBT for a couple of day but Google Services has TOTALLY ripped my device down to 58% after only 1 day.. using 24% over everything else..

Also have you been flashing "firmly" or just using CSC Home? I've been using SP regularly for the past couple of days, no prob. Haven't purchased any "gift cards" either.

BTW: to anybody - why is purchasing "gift cards" so important? I don't understand this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChristopherXDA:
I used the BL cp from one of the threads here, (will link when not on mobile), and the dbt home _csc. I downloaded the latest dbt firmware and just flashed everything again using the home_ CSC and Samsung pay is now working again. Didn't lose any settings except for my cards which must be reloaded.

Lesson: won't be loading any non German firmware files from now on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
I will certainly keep this info in mind. Now that I'm using a non-rooted device I plan to be very careful as I'm kinda out of my comfort level - don't want to "F" it up. Last week when I flashed another firmware I saw an unlocked padlock on boot - almost S**T my pants because I thought that somehow my Knox was tripped - was able to calm down long enough to furiously SEARCH+SEARCH+SEARCH. Whew...

What's the latest version of Samsung Pay and SPay Framework that works with XSG?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Should still be framework 2.4.02 - used the past few weeks no problems. Also samsung pay 2.2.02 (latest update afaik). I did have some issues while on XSG so uninstalled 2.2.02 & installed 2.2.01 and everything worked for me. Only did this because I got frustrated with one (1) card not being able to use/activate. Most likely 2.2.01 works, found out later that if a card isn't working - just try again a couple of minutes/hours later and it will work (as long as the bank/provider is supported that is).

Only issue I've had lately is that SP didn't load my free 'Duncan Donuts' card at all (got an error message to wait & see if it loads, still nothing - don't care really but would like to sell my $5 card for a few bucks as I don't visit them anyway...)

EDIT: tried again later and the DD card loaded
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
I believe you cannot purchase gift cards with credit cards anymore, only debit cards.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ChristopherXDA:
This and I am on dbt firmware for my duos and latest spay works fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
This member & others have mentioned not being able to purchase gift cards. Are you saying that you ARE able to purchase gift cards using

CREDIT

and not

DEBIT

? I purchased a gift card today just to test this out and SP works just fine - using my debit card. I am also on DBT but this doesn't matter as no retailer (at least in my area) accepts credit cards for gift card purchases anymore - I believe this is to combat fraud/money laundering/etc.

I have only had minor issues using SP, most of the time trying again or locating my phone on a different area of the pay pad works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] spielnicht:
I'm on XSG and I can't buy gift cards with a debt or credit card (Citi, Chase, HSBC). I wish Samsung would provide a legitimate reason for not officially supporting AP on the international fw now that the factory unlocked US version is available and officially supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] robstunner:
So I changed from PHN to BTU. I did the full wipe Odin method. Used Smart Switch to backup apps and data. Never rooted, Knox is 0x0000 and Im getting a access denied due to modifications. Anyone have any idea wtf is going on? I'd be pretty unhappy if I just tripped knox for some reason, but that just doesnt make sense since its 0x0.

Got it fixed. For anyone who cares:

BTU does not work at all with samsung pay. 2.0.36 doesnt work, I was unable to downgrade FW so thats up in the air.

DBT it works on the newest framework, and samsung pay version.
[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: 2.0.32

Samsung pay. framework version: 2.3.02

The app has been giving me prompts to update offlate. Yesterday, the app required me to update, to avail an offer from dunkin donuts.

Would you please clarify if it is okay to update via the app? Does it automatically update framework as well? Are there any workarounds?

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

Thanks!

Hi everyone! my phone installed an app called Samsung Billig Ver. 4.0.00-0 this evening. I checked and I found Android Pay under NFC Setting that was not there before. I have G935F and in Germany. Maybe this is a sign of incomming Andoid Pay and possibly Samsung Pay to Germany

Do you guys suggest I use odin or one click root? I've never done this before and I absolutely do not want to brick my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shyam09:
Use ODIN to flash official firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] notamember123:
Thank you.

I'm also wondering whether or not I should even update my phone. I saw a few people back in July/August who had baseband version G935FXXU1APEQ saying that XSG with certain versions of SPay and the framework were working. Is updating worth it, or is it just easier to keep OTA updates off and to side load what's worked in the past? I don't really care about updating until Nougat is released with bug fixes anyway.

Also, should I use Odin v3.12 or an older version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chodaboy19:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yubeie:
Would you please let me know if the framework gets updated automatically as well alon with the app? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shyam09:
Sammobile says to use 3.11.1 (direct download link - http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.11.1.zip) and that's what I used around the end of July to flash XSG to my phone.

I don't think OTA updates will do anything bad to the phone since it's official samsung firmware. XSG hasn't been updated since July anyway. XSG doesn't have Samsung's White Pages feature btw, so if that's important to you - you might want to play around with Brazil's CSC (I don't know the Spay combination though).

I've been using DBT for a couple of weeks now and everything seems to be smooth for now.

G935FXXU1BPH6_G935FOXJ1BPH3 (bootloader/csc)

Samsung Pay: 2.2.02

Framework: 2.4.02

This past week I had an issue with Cell Standby as it was hogging my battery but a reboot seems to have solved this perhaps, I'm at 16% after around 20 hours now - not necessarily happy about this but tell the truth I also don't know much about Cell Standby (seems very high to me but at the end of today I'm still at 70% battery)

Google Play also seems high as it's now at 8% but you never know what's going on with this (damn I miss rooting!!!)

Friday my phone was down to 45% when I crashed and I was very shocked, this is when I started searching for Cell Standby info but didn't find much. I wish there was an option to reboot the GS7 every day rather than only once per week).

Also using whitepages. Works much better than I expected.

Also this past week I mentioned being able to purchase a gift card using SP - it wasn't really considered a 'gift card' I suppose because it was a greeting card with a gift inside or some s**t. I'll try to purchase an Am***n card tomorrow to make sure it works.

Purchased $100 Amazon gift card an hour ago at my local grocery store (Harris Teeter) - no problem.

EDIT: No replies? I wasted $100 on a gift card that I don't need... there were no other lower denominations available (was looking for $10 or such but did this for ya'll).

Most stores I visit they tell me it won't work, but it does for me. Went to the ABC (liquor store) today and the employee told me it wouldn't work - but SP works for me. Works for me everywhere but the gas stations because you need to slide the card in (perhaps the mfc/nfc/etc doesn't transmit). My buddy purchased an external battery for his GS7 (not edge) and of course it doesn't work because his 12,000 mah or such battery is blocking the transmittor or such (sorry, tired - losing my spelling capabilty)..

Just being sarcastic:) I use Amazon all the time, and they were out of anything lower.

I am on G935FOXJ1BPH3. Phone info shows DBT/Germany, however says country of origin is Vietnam. I'm not sure what country corresponds with "OXJ" either. Both this and G935FDBT1BPH2 show being released on the same day, the only difference I see is the country code "DBT" - but they are both DBT even though the country codes are different.
