Once again I've been away from this forum way to long, however here's a previous post of mine:

----- Sorry not sure how to quote using the app so just copied & pasted ---

make sure to perform a full factory reset. if you're having issues with SSPay then consider flashing another country/csc fully (again another full factory reset before this). then do this again for with firmware of a different country code that doesn't include your CSC (search for the list of csc codes/countries). factory reset, then perform a full install back to the country/csc that you are trying to get working. always make sure not to use home_csc as this will KEEP your data, and may corrupt the process.

i've been using dbt/dbt (both 'normal' & also 'olympic' versions) for well over a year and have no problems at all. started out with

-- SSPay 2.2.02/SSF 2.4.02 and it has been working for me since

-- updates through SS also (no worries about the replies others have mentioned)

-- DBT/DBT (including Olympic) - there are 2 different versions/updates btw

so since aug 2016 at least

-- basically all has been AOK

-- done FDR/factory reset/etc - my SSP is still there including my rewards

USA/ATT/all working!

-- I don't use AMEX (not sure why anybody does tell the truth? isn't it expensive?) but my other cards work, get ss rewards, etc..

-- i can use it almost anywhere (except my debit card doesn't work for harris teeter)

my only complaint is that the latest gs7 update crapped my battery - was getting almost 2 days, now perhaps 14 hours... as i mention this another update is pushing to my gs7edge..

--- END ---

Began with AFR (Kenya) and soon moved on because I desired SSPay & also Whitepages (caller ID). It was e real PITA but finally DBT worked out quite well. Originally I had the Olympic version (didn't realize for many months that there are/were 2 different versions of DBT) but switched to the non-Olympic version because the updates arrived a bit more quickly.

This was last year around May so I was on android 6. Since then I have flashed many, many times but always went back to DBT. Also performed FDR (after using SS SWItch) after the battery drainage crap and my SSPay is still working. I'm not bragging, just saying it works for me at least.

One suggestion would be to ODIN back to 6 and start over using the older SSPay & framework, then upgrade over it. Seems that many are over-thinking this. SSPay also just added Discover BTW.

One final note as I don't see my device info listed (purchased Xda app but not used to it on my tablet tonight, or I'm just an idiot)

So i am able to download the latest version of samsung pay and add cards without any issues what so ever. I'l soon try using it at a store but for now it's safe to say that on PCT CSC samsung pay works without a hitch. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
Do you see entries like Samsung reward, Gift card purchases, Membership cards? These are the major US functions that a lot of us dream of...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] balag59:
Yup im able to see all of that. It just updated itself to the latest version and this is what i see.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
I am super super super jealous now...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] balag59:
Funny thing is i barely intend to use this. I rely heavily on android pay and have not found much of a reason to use samsung pay so far. And I'm actually looking to switch to a different CSC to get faster updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
If any where you make payments at support NFC, then Android Pay would be enough. Not for me here... And Samsung Pay regularly have good deals on gift cards which is nice. I'm pretty much doomed since I need Dual sim but PCT don't even have Dual sim. And it's on a multi CSC rom that default to CDR and I can't figure out how to change the CSC even with combination rom...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Snapperlicious:
Funny, it's just the opposite for me. The number of places that support NFC payment by me are probably 50/50, so having the option to use the MST feature with Samsung Pay is a huge plus for me. I might feel differently if my Huawei watch could do NFC payments. Add in the Samsung Rewards and I have little reason to use Android Pay.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] rajhot:
Samsung pay is working fine for me now even Amex.

My App is already upgraded to 2.7.15 . Can i uninstall updates & sideload the US version of 2.7.10 ?

Would it work without any issues or is it gonna messup spay ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
You probably need Package Disabler to uninstall. Shouldn't mess up anything except you might need to re add all the cards. But I think they have already improved that.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ZoZo-:
Can you add cards not supported in your country, ie your card carrier hasn't connected to Samsung Pay by flashing other variants/countries?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Thanhchief:
I flashed my phone to PCT Claro and want to report that I couldn't download Samsung Pay straight from Google Play. Anyway I sideloaded the latest SFrame and SPay. Everything seems to work except now I can't log back into my Samsung account. It'll say connection error. But it would allow me to load a card which I haven't tried yet.

Update: Can't add cards. It says connection error. Gift card and promotion works but is pointless if I can't add cards.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] balag59:
So after you flashed pct did you have a pre installed version of samsung pay? I did and then i was able to update to the latest version. I was able to add cards but i haven't tried making a payment yet.. ill try that and let you guys know.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Thanhchief:
After I flash PCT 7.0, Samsung Pay didn't come pre-install. I had to sideload SPay. Which version of PCT did you flash? I did Version G935FXXU1DQEL.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] balag59:
I actually got my phone with samsung pay pre installed and pct csc so i assumed that it comes pre installed with pct. I'm on the latest 7.0 update
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Thanhchief:
Can you dial *#1234# and post what version you have on your phone here? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] balag59:
I think we are on same version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
I have tested it before. PCT is on Latin America multi CSC rom which have a default CSC of UWA or CDR, both Dominica Republic I think. Though each CSC update differently and PCT is probably the first in the region to receive 7.0, as long as your hardware is not originally PCT, you will be locked on this area's default CSC. That's why you can't download SPay from Play store. I've tried Combination rom which give me access to factory IME, but it seems that Samsung have locked CSC change since certain version. There's another way by minimal setup with PCT rom, insert PCT Claro sim card and then factory reset. It was reported to be working on some other variant of S8. My prepaid Claro sim is on the way so I will be testing it within a few weeks I think. But before that, I really can't help you with how to switch to PCT without tripping Knox. Magisk root v12 supposedly able to hide Knox 0x1 from system but I haven't seen any report of that actually works on SPay yet so I strongly suggest not doing it.

Your bank have to have agreement with Samsung to be supported. I can't imagine how that's possible a Swedish bank have an agreement with Samsung UK or Samsung AU to have their card supported rather than Samsung SE, if this is what you mean... But it's confirmed from Samsung that you can add a card that's from another nation and supported by that nation's own SPay. Like AU's native SPay can add all US cards. Only thing is you have to be physically in that nation to add that card into SPay. And although a great amount of CSC use the same SPay Framework, there's still chance that you can't add that card even if Samsung said so. One example is XSG's native SPay won't be able to add US Amex cards even you are in US.

You and him are totally different cases thanks to Samsung's stupid CSC policies.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bay96:
I'm a little confused. So what you're saying is even if you flash PCT CSC in odin, the phone will still use the default CSC because it can somehow detect the hardware is not originally made for PCT? My understanding was that if you flash a firmware that supports multiple CSCs along with one of those supported CSCs, then you get that particular CSC, not the default CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
Go back have a look at the 5 files. Is the CSC files saying UWA or PCT? Now you have your answer. This is just how the stupid multi-csc system work. No way around it.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

If you still won't believe me, go download Phone info

and find active region cide. Or go to recovery and have a look at the bottom left corner.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bay96:
You're right. It does say UWA CSC in the zip. I wonder if earlier android versions of PCT have the actual PCT CSC so that we can just do OTA upgrade from there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
I doubt that... But I might be using a old version to see if I can flash the CSC with combination so that I can change the CSC settings to PCT. So busy with thesis now... So probably gonna take some time...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jivenene:
Is anyone using the newest version of SPay and SPFramework?

New:

SP: 2.8.20

FW: 2.7.76

I am on a G930F with G930FXXU1DQD7 BTU firmware and am afraid to update because it is all working now. There is a notification in the Galaxy apps store to update. Currently on:

Current: SP: 2.7.21 FW: 2.7.50

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yubeie:
I'm on xsa (Australia) using the same version listed by you.. all working fine.. of course xsa doesn't have gift cards.. membership cards all Australian vendors and I don't have amex to test.. otherwise everything else working fine ..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jivenene:
Do you have a red N in the upper right corner of the SPay home screen , then under settings, About Samsung Pay it allows you to update to 2.8.20? have you tried it? I am afraid to try it since it is working now and I don't want it to break :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yubeie:
I did and I updated mine.. Also.. I'm using the app that came with the rom.. no side loading n stuff..

Has anyone has a way to use Samsung Pay on Knox tripped /rooted phone? Appreciate if anyone has find a way to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
Try Magisk v12+ (newest stable 13.3) and enable both hide root and another function that should hide knox 0x1. Theoretically it should work.

---------- Post added at 04:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 AM ----------

HEADS UP!!! Short version. I was able to switch to PCT and got FULL function US version SPay to work. PR version to be honest, but exactly the same as US version. Detail coming later after I set up my phone ;)

I wish I can at anyone who's interested

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gr8177063:
Just curious if PCT has Whitepages?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gaww:
What carrier and where is PCT used normally?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gr8177063:
PCT is Puerto Rico...the carrier is Claro I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bay96:
Thanks a lot for figuring out how to get PCT working! Awesome job! Can you verify a few things for me please?

1. Can you double check if you have whitepages in the dialer settings? If you open the default dialer, click on the three dots on the top right and click Settings, you should see "Identify unsaved numbers" if you have Whitepages on PCT.

2. Can you add any American Express cards to SPay?

3. Have you tried using Discover card for payment? I successfully added a Discover card to SPay, but every payment terminal (both NFC and MST at various locations) I tried gives an error while all other cards work.

4. Do you see a list of US based merchants in the add membership cards section in SPay?

5. Have you tried purchasing any gift cards in from the SPay gift card store? On other CSCs, gift card purchase fails after you try to pay.

6. Does Samsung Cloud work? To check, go to Settings-->Cloud and accounts-->Samsung Cloud and click on the vertical three dots on the top right and click Sync now (Or "manage cloud storage" should show you how much space you're using). If you are using any package disabler app, it might interfere with samsung cloud.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
1. It's different. See the pic here https://www.flickr.com/gp/96748017@N07/2pH3Mu. I still haven't receive any communication from a 800 number or anything. But at least when I call 800 numbers, there's no ID showing at all.

2. Added my Everyday Preferred the first thing. No problem at all. Again, the terms and conditions on Samsung US site stated that SPay and SPay reward are available to US 50, US Virgin and US PR. I didn't side load anything, just update from Galaxy Apps and it is already showing as the pic here https://www.flickr.com/gp/96748017@N07/R3r41H.

3. Not yet... I will probably hold until they target me for some bonus as before... Hahaha

4. Yes. Already uninstalled Stocard ;)

5. Curiously can't. Though I haven't try paying anything yet (may be updating shortly). I'm sure that on Samsung PR's website, it's indicated that there's gift card purchase. So it should work. Will dig into that in a later date.

6. Yes. Recovered/set up with Samsung Cloud. Tried just now to back up, also succeeded.

Have you tried buying a gift card? I've successfully converted to PCT but seems not able to pay gift card in-app. Though all other functions works great.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] balag59:
It's the exact same thing for me! It works perfectly well at every store I've tried. However, every single time i try to buy i gift card i run into issues. Other than that it works great
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
Hmm... must be their problem then... I still believe SPay PR is exactly the same as SPay US. Even the official Galaxy App Store descriptions mentioned gift card and cite US websites for information (Like here for people don't have it... https://www.flickr.com/gp/96748017@N07/2099qp). Unless it require you to be physically in PR to make the purchase which makes no sense either...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] bay96:
Thanks for checking all these for me! Yeah, I think there's no whitepages in PCT. If you had it, "Identify unsaved numbers" should be between "Ringtones and keypad tones" and "Roaming assistance."

It's unfortunate buying gift cards from SPay doesn't work. To sum up, it looks like switching over to PCT from DBT, I'd be losing whitepages and possibly more frequent updates but gaining a list of merchants to add as membership cards (even though I can manually scan in any barcode in DBT). Amex and Samsung cloud sync work for both DBT and PCT. And it's unclear if Discover card will work on PCT.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
Well seems not a very appealing deal. When on XSA I can't see gift card list and can't see any membership cards or manually add them. So though I lost white page, PCT is still a good improvement for me. But still, PCT supposed to have full function as US version. If all fail, at least you know that there's still a way to get Spay.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gr8177063:
Not sure if we got a definitive answer to this. Anyone on XSA or BTU in the US successfully update to SPay 2.8.20?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] rajhot:
If its working fine its better not to update the app .

As 2.8.20 is not US version after update app may stop working and you will have to go through factory reset route again or if the update is successful US specific features may not work
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
Pretty sure 2.8.20 is not US version. Newest US version should be either 2.7.10 or 2.7.13. Newest PCT is 2.7.13 which has all US features except gift card purchase is seems to be bugged...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jhunkab:
Reporting US AMEX added on DBT

Had to full reset phone.

Took this opportunity to setup SPay again using latest DBT (single CSC - not through multi CSC):

BL & AP: G935FXXS1DQG4

CSC: G935FDBT1DQD1

CP: G935FXXU1DQD7

Steps:

Did not provide google credentials - so no back restored from google.

Registered fingerprint security

Provided Samsung Login information - with fingerprint enabled

No restore from smart switch or Samsung cloud

Installed Spay apk 2.5.13 version - no spay firmware update or install

Samsung pay launched, but gave server connection error. force closed the app, through settings ->app.

On next launch Samsung pay asked for update (to 2.7.13), selected "Cancel" and continued.

Samsung pay restored my gift card and prepaid Samsung debit card

added 1 credit card that is known to be working

took chance to add Amex - it worked and is successfully added :) no more error.

Hope this helps

Samsung Pay app informed me about an 2.8 update on Sep 1st, but I can't update it through the app.

Are there anyone know what is the exact version of Samsung Pay 2.8 and the Framework in US.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TarheelGrad1998:
A very helpful (and long!) thread, but perusing a lot of it I'm still stuck. Here's what I did:

Flashed latest the Germany (DBT) version. No problems.

Installed the latest SPay and SPay Frameworks.

Got "could not connect to server" errors, then found posts above that the latest SPay version, so I uninstalled SPay and installed the 2.7.10 version (also did not work) and finally the 2.7.13 version.

Now, I can open the SPay app and I did the initial signup and got the welcome email. However, when I go to add a card it just spins on "Validating card info" but never finishes.

I've tried several cards, all with the same result. I've tried on wifi and mobile network, still same. I'm not sure about the SPay Framework version (I have 2.8.03), as this thread is less explicit there. However, now I cannot uninstall the framework and any time I try to download/install an older version it tells me the package is corrupt.

Any pointers on where I went wrong, and what I might do to get past this (preferably without having to reflash)?

I got an update on my phone that finally enabled Samsung Pay on my 935FD (Arab Emirates version, I think). So when I try to register it, it lets me do the fingerprint, but right after, it tells me to input a Samsung Pay Pin, but doesn't let me. The screen says "Secured Mode" and doesn't respond, and the only thing I can do is back out of it. Any suggestions for a workaround? Please and thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] jnrfalcon:
It appears SPay Framework is the problem. 2.8.03 is probably for Korean version. I'm on newest SPay 2.8.04 for USA/PCT, but 2.8.03 Framework still ask me to update SPay and wouldn't work. There's a way to uninstall Framework via ADB I guess. But I haven't had chance to test it out yet.

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

What is USSD code...

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Current newest SPay for US is 2.8.04 and the newest SPay Framework is 2.7.76 I think (potentially 2.8.02 but I don't know). I'm on 2.8.03 Framekwork now and it still force me to update my 2.8.04 SPay... So... Currently there's no way out...

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 PM ----------

There's a delay. The newest SPay was released on 4th or 5th, version 2.8.04. Do not update Framework. I believe 2.7.76 still works. If it doesn't, update to 2.8.02 at your own risk. I can confirm 2.8.03 doesn't work at all so be extremely careful...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TarheelGrad1998:
I don't think my issue is the flash...I did the full wipe and had to set everything up again (reason I don't really want to do that again). Not sure what else I could've done wrong there. I have the DBT Germany version now, with whitepages (and...no more international calendar date on the AOD).

I guess my prime suspect is the framework. It seems ADB can only disable, not remove. So if that is it I'll have to start over. :(

[MENTION=3798831]mkoyskip[/MENTION] - What versions of spay and the framework are you on? I cannot find the versions referenced be jnrfalcon.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TarheelGrad1998:
Ok, but what versions of spay are you running now? I kinda doubt I can start with those same years old versions.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] mkoyskip:
I don't think this will work for you without downgrading to MM first. You should do this first, IMHO.

However here is the answer too your question:

- current framework: 2.7.51

- current SPay: 2.7.03

Samsung notified me about the 2.8 SPay update but still tells me I have the latest version.

I have several cards registered & use regularly including: discover, Chase, NFCU, WF. Also the other night I replied to this post I wasted almost 10,000 points towards 2 best buy rewards cards just to make sure the latest gs7 software update/upgrade would work. Of course it did, and spay still works. Didn't allow me to upgrade to 2.8 (apparently not yet available for DBT but still notifying me) but my spay is still working!!!

Wasted like 9000 points just to make sure the latest N works. Using spay for you. I don't use Amex (so for anybody else asking about this, do some research).

Downgrading isn't difficult, just just make sure to save your data. Who saves crap on their device anymore anyway? I always have a super large sdcard and store stuff there anyway, you should do this also. If you don't like having a Giggle account just create another. Doesn't matter, just make sure to have your security settings AOK, then revert/reset. Make sure to install the framework + spay BEFORE you update/upgrade to 7!!!! Make sure that spay is working before you update!!

I suggest turning off Giggle updates, perhaps not logging into your personal account until the device finishes updating/upgrading itself. Then login, make sure all is AOK. Otherwise it will start downloading all of for apps without asking...
