The latest pay and framework on apkmirror.com

I had uploaded them there last week from my T-Mobile variant.

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

I'm facing a new problem, on the BTU firmware the "Identify unknown callers" option is greyed out. Anybody know a CSC that supports Samsung Pay and that feature?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] xxhorseriderxxx:
when you say that samsung pay is working on the international model, have you tried making an MST purchase, or are you only confirming that you can add a card to the app? I am holding off on getting a 930F simply because I want MST samsung pay on an international model.

Is it worth it to buy a S7 from the UK now, in order to get the Samsung Pay, or will any F model do?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
Apparently any. You can change the CSC, which I've done like 10 times already. LOL

Hi. I live in Sweden and tried install samsung pay and framework and it does. It let me add card,until i hit the next button. After when it's checking the card info it says that it can not contact the server. I tried several times. How did get it work? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Rydah:
Your gonna wanna follow the 2 steps on the bottom half of the post I quoted above. Although I was able to get Samsung Pay to work with BTU, you may need to flash the ojv firmware. Whole process takesome about 15 min, will wipe your phone.

Alternatively, you may try flashing BTU firmware but with the home_csc file and not repartitioning it. This will keep your data intact but if it fails you'll have to do the process above.

Ok. Thanks. Will try when i will have some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] charter3554:
I recently picked up a G930FXXU and I would like to use Samsung pay in the US.

The Samsung pay framework is currently 2.5.94! and the Samsung Pay app is not installed yet from the Play store.

My question is: for full US Samsung Pay usage including rewards earning, what framework version should I try to get and which version of the Samsung Pay app should I try to get?

Also, what would happen if I just downloaded the newest version of the Samsung Pay app from the app store and tried to use it in the US? Would my nice, old, SP framework number be automatically updated?

For now I have all automatic updates on the phone turned off for everything apps and phone software.

And what does the XXU indicate regarding my phone? Is that the CSC?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jaiy:
My message you quoted before contains the latest versions known to work with US rewards points.

What is important to know is that the framework cannot be uninstalled or downgraded once it is installed. It can only be upgraded. The Pay app itself can be uninstalled and then any (newer or older) version can be installed.

There are several framework versions (Korea, US, Middle-East, and probably others). The US ones have much larger APK sizes due, presumably, to the rewards points code being present. They appear to have version numbers 2xxyy1000 where 2.xx.yy is the version and the 1000 is, presumably, also an indicator of the US version.

Once the "wrong" framework is installed, you are stuck with that version until a US version upgrade is released and then you follow the procedure I outlined to erase your current pay apps' caches and do the upgrade and then reload all your cards. Even with the wrong version installed, new US rewards points continued to accrue and old points expired, even though I could not see or spend those points.

Quite likely, yes. If your phone is a non-US CSC, you will quite likely end up with the framework for your phone's region.

Essential to keep it that way, at least for these two apps.

No. See here for firmware naming format info.

The CSC is easiest found using the app "Phone Info *Samsung*" available on the Google Play Store.

Yw.

Hi, great post. I have a G930F not a 935 but there isn't a thread as good as this in the 930 forum. Question: I've never flashed before but I know how to take my time and be careful. Do you have a good walkthrough on installing it CORRECTLY etc?

I am currently downloading this: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/DBT/download/G930FXXS2DRA9/205154/

And I downloaded ODIN V3.12.7...

Thanks to anyone that can help out. I feel like I'm getting closer to being able to finally get Samsung Pay on my PHN (netherlands) CSC 930F...

I think all I need to do is learn how to flash the DBT CSC, do I use all 4 of the fields in Odin? A walkthrough would be great, or maybe someone could PM me some details? I'll have all of the software by the morning, BTW is the latest version of DBT software ok (G930FXXS2DRA9)? or should I have downloaded something from last fall for the DBT CSC?

Also, see my next post (below this) for details of what happens when I try to run SP on PHN..

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] charter3554:
Should CSC: PHN work if I have SP framework 2.7.51 and SP app 2.7.03?

I’m on the Netherlands CSC called PHN. When I search for Samsung pay in the google play store it doesn’t show up (probably because I’m signed in with my US based google account in the play store?). Anyways, I just sideloaded that app version from apkmirror, was about 61mb in size.

When I try to load a card into SP, I get a message saying: “Connection Error. Failed to connect to server. Try again later.“

Because of this error I’m thinking of trying CSC DBT. A fellow poster suggested that DBT may be on the same Multi-CSC as PHN, because Germany (DBT) is close to Netherlands (PHN), does that mean I could possibly just switch the CSC without flashing?

And if both countries are currently not capable of Samsung pay or at least officially supported for Samsung pay then why does DBT work for several here?

Thanks all!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Whew, think that was a pretty old post of mine... Makes me happy that you've been reading through the threads before requesting assistance!

The flashing process is the same for 930/935 as long as you use any correct firmware for your specific device. And in general the process is the same for any Samsung device, although it's always a good practice to use a similar version of Odin for these.

Don't know exactly what your dealio is?

- I say this because you haven't provided much info, read below

*** looks like I was fairly buzzed when I wrote the post you quoted so I forget to add something such as this:

It's always a good idea to provide as much info as possible when requesting help. Such as current situation, firmware, issues, etc. And blah blah, blah blah, etc. Most often there is never too much info that you can provide - more is better than less.

On to flashing. If you haven't already you'll need to download/install the Samsung/USB drivers for Windows. And/or install SmartSwitch.

Most likely the firmware you downloaded is a .zip package so you'll need to extract it to a folder (think you already figured out this part)

Yes, you need to install ALL of these (add them to Odin for each). This is extremely important if you're planning to completely change your device. I sometimes do this 2x just in case. Also sometimes I feel OCD and then also perform a factory reset afterwards just to make sure.

*** before I forget: if you are fully wiping/switching to a completely different version (country)you should use the CSC file. If you're flashing over the 'same' or similar you can use the CSC HOME to save your data.

My GS7Edge was originally Kenya (AFR) and if memory serves this was the major thing that crapped me out, the flashing just didn't work each time. You'll be AOK. Also you can search GIGGLE for a video "galaxy s7 Odin" just to see it in action. Doesn't hurt to make sure & be confident.

I've had issues in the past. Good idea NOT to use a USB hub, direct connection to the computer. Also make sure to use a Samsung and/or good quality cable.

Should be "easy as pie" for you. S**T it's only taken me like 7 years to figure this out. ??

Not around much, busy. Hope this helps for you. Later.

Hi, thanks for the response. You mentioned that I should give more detail, and what is my dealio. Did you read the post right before yours? Post 1185.

It gives full details on the issue I'm having, any thoughts?

Do you know about multi CSCs and if DBT and PHN might be on the same group, should I still flash to DBT?..

Thanks to anyone that can help
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
No I didn't read the previous post, was only responding to your post.

I answered the question/info concerning the different CSC files, please re-read my answer.

Guess I was incorrect as to whether or not you've done some searching on your own.... You might begin by searching for CSC codes... They're in alphabetical order.

Think about it for a moment... DBT scrolling down to PHN (yours is Netherlands). DBT is Germany.

You can flash whatever you desire. You apparently downloaded the DBT so just flash this one if you like. Follow the instructions, good luck. G'night.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] charter3554:
Hi, I didn't mean to come off snarky, just didn't know if you had read that post.

I was referring specifically to using a specific CSC within a group of multi-CSCs without flashing - like is there another method to select a CSC, and even if I flash DBT, when on a multi-CSC setup, will it auto-select a specific CSC (maybe not even the DBT that I specifically wanted...?)

No, you weren't incorrect about searching on my own, I certainly did. in fact that's why I already previously said that PHN and DBT are Netherlands and Germany respectively and even mentioned how they are geographically close, so not sure why you said you might begin searching for CSC codes, etc -- I already did: Post 1185, here: "Because of this error I’m thinking of trying CSC DBT. A fellow poster suggested that DBT may be on the same Multi-CSC as PHN, because Germany (DBT) is close to Netherlands (PHN), does that mean I could possibly just switch the CSC without flashing?"

I will try DBT and will let you guys know the outcome, I appreciate the input, esp [MENTION=3994297]Jaiy[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3798831]mkoyskip[/MENTION] ! Wish me luck, lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Hmmm, seems that I'm just a dork. Super happy that you've been doing research! Also sorry for the late reply, sometimes spend my day without outside internet (work).

Just in case you haven't solved your issue: you must fully flash your region/country before using CSC home. If you flash another and try to use either (CSC, CSC home) it will become a super royal PITA.

My GS7Edge isn't rooted (1st/only device NEVER rooted) and I spent like 3-4 months just trying to get spay working. Also spent the $$$ for Sammobile at the time (was totally worth it BTW)

I tried replacing various CSC files here & there between firmwares and it didn't end well at all. No matter how 'quick' & fast you (myself) think you can be, it still takes time to reload/reset/reboot any device...

Now that I've said this, not sure if this will be any assistance for you at all?! Just printed out the last few pages... Thought this was a flashing issue, not an spay issue!

Guess I'm slow to the party so to speak. My spay has been working 100% for like 2 years. DBT.

Later, let me know how it goes (I'll be in a closet for the next few days so won't be able to respond until Mon).

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] charter3554:
Quick question, I installed the DBT successfully , Samsung pay doesn't show up in the Google Play Store when I'm signed in under my Google account ...

I know I need to get the file from APK mirror anyway but I was just surprised it didn't show up in the Play Store like it did on my US Verizon S6, is that normal?

[MENTION=3798831]mkoyskip[/MENTION] and anyone else running DBT, does Samsung pay show up in your Google Play Store?

BTW, this is the version I'm in now: G930FDBT1DQJ1.

Everything appears to be working now that I have flashed from PHN to DBT. I haven't paid with a card yet but both Visas added into the app just fine, that's more than what I could do when I was on PHN.

I'm currently running Samsung Pay Framework version 2.7.51 and the Samsung Pay app 2.7.03 (SP App was sideloaded via apkmirror, it is not visible in the Google Play Store nor is it visible in the Galaxy App Store for me, weird...

So I guess each time I want to update, I'm going to have to do it through apkmirror?

Do you guys think it's safe to update the version to 2.8.something?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
IMPORTANT : I've been outta town and this answer only concerns this specific post, I haven't yet had time to read the previous weeks stuff yet!!!

It'll never be in the play store, only update through spay itself. Also spay will let you know when it needs updates. If it's working don't mess with it. Seriously!!!

I'm using the same versions, have updated both [spay & framework] through my GS7Edge (international) previously and all is AOK.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] charter3554:
Thanks for the response and advice. If the Spay app wants me to update directly through the app, would that be ok? Shouldn't I instead just decline so I can stay on the same SPay and framework indefinitely?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jaiy:
I don't want to offer advice, but I can provide info about what happened to me.

After first installing SPay on my XSG device, it worked as a US version for quite some time. I received a number of updates through the app and it continued to work as a US version after each update.

At a certain point, I manually installed the latest version from APKmirror as the app hadn't auto-updated. This was a Very Bad Idea Indeed. I was then on the UAE version and I was stuck there. Even trying to reinstall a US version of SPay did not work as the SPayFW was the UAE version and forced a re-update to the UAE SPay after I tried.

Now that I am finally back to a US version, I will be declining all further updates based on the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" principle. Of course, if a forced update comes along, I will have no choice but to accept it, and just hope that it stays on the US version as it did originally.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] charter3554:
After playing around with the Samsung Pay on my 930F with DBT (Germany) flashed, I don't think that Samsung Pay is ever going to prompt me for an update from directly within the app. I've been to the section in Samsung Pay settings where you can check for updates and it never says there are updates - remember that I originally installed from apkmirror SPay version 2.7.03 with framework version 2.7.51.

Now in the US on my household's other Galaxy (S6 Edge Plus, 928V) I see that there are all sorts of cool things coming to Samsung Pay like the ability to link Paypal to SPay (great right now because Chase Freedom Cards have 5% back via PayPal plus you get SPay points on top of that - update I'm not sure I can link my Chase Freedom via PayPal within SPay, PayPal in SPay wants me to use a virtual PayPal Mastercard...) and also things like Visa Checkout are there (which is cool because you can earn SPay points for shopping online), among other additions.

So that leads me to ask: If I download a newer version of SPay from apkmirror and it updates my framework and starts to cause problems, can I use Samsung Smart Switch to go back to a previous version, or even just do a factory reset and/or reflash the DBT file that I flashed in March? Wouldn't that successfully reset/wipe the SPay Framework?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!

Question: Latest US Samsung Pay & Firmware Apk version?

Does anyone know the latest US version of APK for Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Firmware?

If you have US based friends with S7/Edge you can check the version through Apps Settings (after enabling show system apps from right top menu under Apps) .. or may be Google Play would also show the Samsung Pay App (but not for firmware)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jaiy:
Oreo update re-breaks SPay

Today I received the Oreo system update on my S7Edge (UAE XSG version).

Samsung Pay is now broken again.

Previously (in mid-March) I had managed to get SPayFW to version 2.8.72 (287201000) and then also SPay to 2.8.25 (282500000) - see post #1179 - and was running again with the US version of SPay. It's been fine since then.

The Oreo update comes with SPayFW 2.8.72 and SPay 2.8.73 built into the new system firmware. When I run SPay, it is, once again, trying to force me to accept an update to "Install Samsung Pay (United Arab Emirates)". If I choose "Cancel", it exits. Presumably, the SPayFW 2.8.72 that came with Oreo is a UAE version, and not the 287201000 version that I downloaded in March.

I would hope that this can again be "fixed", by upgrading both the SPayFW and SPay app to US versions (after cache wipes). There are two versions of SPayFW 2.8.81 on APKmirror and one, 288101000, may be a US version. However, there is not yet any version of SPay greater than or equal to 2.8.74 to go with it. (There are versions of SPay 2.9.x and also 3.1.x and there is also a 2.8.74 from a year ago, but these are not current US versions, as far as I know.) We need to wait for a new version >= 2.8.74.

In short, you may want to delay accepting the Oreo update if you want to keep using Samsung Pay.

I will post again once I find a version that works.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] charter3554:
On our Galaxy S6 Edge+ (928V) I have the latest US version via the Play Store on my device:

SPAY 2.8.35

Hope this helps!

I have the same versions installed on S7 Edge G935FD with DBT firmware -

cards are working - except Amex (amex fails to activate after taking in all the information - i get an email from amex stating that activation failed, contact service center)

Paypal integration is not working - click to link account does not go anywhere

on home screen of Samsung Pay top part with advert is showing images and stuff but bottom part tries to get data but errors out with "offline" message.

SPay apk >= 2.8.74 anyone?

If there's anyone with a US version of SPay with version >= 2.8.74 who can upload an apk, that would be great.

I posted some info about how to save an apk from an app installed on your phone using the Amaze file manager in post 1152.

What en effing mess. I won't be buying Samsung anymore. Samsung Pay was the only reason I went for the S7. I'm either going for OnePlus or back to LG
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jaiy:
I checked a friend's S9 this past weekend. He has a vanilla US model with SPay installed from the Play Store. His US SPay is version 2.8.35. Looks like we have a very long wait until a US SPay >= 2.8.74 is released which is needed to "upgrade" the Oreo built-in one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
Sorry I've been busy, here's a DBOX link if you still need it

As usual per lately I've been kinda a poser concerning the forums, trying to get better but because of work/family I sometimes just don't have the time.

Some info

-- I'm on DBT, have been since I purchased my device [after changing it from Kenya/AFR I believe] and wanted SPay & also "identify unsaved numbers/caller id.

-- This was the major reason I changed firmware/country. Been using it since like May 2016.

-- Since then I've flashed many different firmwares but have basically used these files:

-----> com.samsung.android.spayfw_2.5.00-250001000_minAPI22(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk

-----> com.samsung.android.spayfw_2.7.48-274803000_minAPI22(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi).apk

Admittedly these are both older framework/spay apk's but have always worked no problem for me. And it's also been over a year since I've done this but each time they ask me to upgrade the framework & also update SPay itself so seems to work AOK. Once its working SPay will inform/update on it's own. AGAIN, SPAY is NOT offered from Giggles PLAY STORE (if you don't understand this please read & re-read through this thread, OK).

On another thought there are 2 different versions of DBT. Until the latest android 8 Oreo update/upgrade I thought I was done with the "Olympic" version but somehow it installed it anyway. So now when my phone starts up/lights up I get the Olympic circles or such on my screen. No big deal I suppose. The MAJOR thing that occurred was that ALL of my SPay cards disappeared and had to re-enter them again. But my account was still there once I did all of this crap. SPay still had all of my info/etc. I can live with this, also they still had my gift cards & such once I re-loaded my account. Points, balance, etc - Platinum!

If you're gonna wipe your device make sure to have some sort of "backup" reason for this: This is the 1st device that I've NEVER rooted, only because I desired the option for SPay. I'm not bragging at all!! Otherwise I would not have purchased the SM-G935F. Tell the truth would have purchased a local (USA) phone if I'd known they would finally unlock it. My buddy who lives nearby is getting like 120mbps using Sprint, I'm getting like 6mbps through AT&T. Also recently just switched between both AT&T and T-Mobile, not getting anything close to this at all. Considering selling my device and switching to them because of this.

Good luck to all, any replies I'll do my best. Time for another PINT :laugh:

Will the Oreo built in one work for you? Which CSC are you on again?

I'm on DBT on my G930F and wondering if I should try installing SPay 2.8.40 from apkmirror.

I am on SPay 2.7.03 and SPayFW 2.7.51 which works fine but I don't have access to the latest promotions like Cash Back through the app. (I also have a US S6 Edge Plus (G928V) with the latest version of SPay directly from the Play store which allows me to see all the latest deals, hence the temptation.

Is anyone running a 2.8.xx version of Samsung Pay on their 930F or 935F?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jaiy:
Good news for folk who, like me, S-Pay stopped working after the Oreo update.

SPay is now working again for US-based folks with XSG phone and Oreo.

As a reminder, after the Oreo update the new Oreo-built-in version of SPayFW was 2.8.72 and SPay was 2.8.73. It wanted me to agree to it being the UAE version, which I did not. So I had no working SPay since the Oreo update a couple of months ago.

SPay 2.8.91 (289100000) has now been uploaded to APKmirror. I installed that, over the default Oreo-built-in version. After doing so, I find that SPayFw has silently updated to 2.9.08 and SPay is the 2.8.91 version that I just installed. (It didn't prompt or notify me of the SPayFw update.)

With this combination, US cards load, Rewards points show, membership cards can be added manually, but list of membership card vendors is not showing - which is same as before.

Looks like we're back in business!
