Hello everyone! I got a new Samsung Galaxy S6 GT-920F and would love to install Samsung Pay on it. I searched on it on the phone itself, there was none. I searched on the Play store aswell, still, the application wasn't there. So I downloaded it from the browser and it would go past the " Authorize Fingerprint " screen. So I downloaded an older version ad it said that my device isn't compatible. I don't know what else to try honestly. Do you guys know anything? And the phone isn't rooten or anything, it's on stock 6.0.1. Thanks in advance!
I think you have to have a carrier phone to use Samsung Pay. At least with 5.x. I seem to remember speculation that MM would enable it on non-carrier phones but I don't recall seeing anything about this yet.

Please , if you or someone you Know , sold a Samsung Gear S2 on Amazon Warehouse Deals I need you to unlock it, it could be the one I bought.
Thanks
Hi, my name is Cesar and I live in Argentina. My parents bought me a Samsung Gear S2 when they went to New York Last Month.
When we were looking for the price i found a deal on Amazon Warehouse for 40 dolars less, so i told them to bought that one.
It has been a couple of weeks trying to pair it whith my phone, talking to Amazon Coustomer Service, to Samsung Coustomer Service here and in the USA and the only solution is to find the previous owner and he/she unlock it
Please, I really need your help to diffuse this message.
Thanks
PS: if anybody needs pictures of the phone or the Amazon bill please let me know.
I bought and returned one, and I know that I I didn't unlock it (didn't realize I needed to). I doubt my returned S2 is yours, but I don't even know how to unlock it from my Samsung account!

Aparently you only have to sing in in Samsung web page, go to your products and remove it
It`s seems easy, please let me know
Thanks
I don't even see it as an option when I log into my Samsung account from a web browser - I see other devices - such as tablets and older phones. I do see my current phone listed which is currently paired with the S2, But no Gear S2 is listed on the Samsung Find My Mobile account.
There's no easy way to find out if reactivation lock is enabled - there is no more security option in settings. When I first got the watch, I distinctly remember not enabling that feature - but after subsequent resets of the watch (for testing) I was unsure if I had enabled it at one point. I eventually found a way - if you attempt to reset the watch, it will say in the warning message - that reactivation lock has been enabled for the watch.
Yes, I have tried like a thousand times, i really don´t know what else to do.
In The Samsung web it´s a way to unable it but you need the gear app for the phone i think.
I´m getting very dissapointed with this, it´s looks like a great whatch bue I have it in a box, it really sucks.
Have you found a way to fix the issue. I have the same issue
Reactivation lock problem
I tried by remving the product under my product list but its not getting removed.., can anyone tell me about this
My brother buyed samsung gear s2 silver clr for me he also have one black clr model with him. He seted up my watch with his account now and he sent me recetly few days back now when i try to login with his account its saying reactivation lock is on.., i am so confused not even knowing why its showing that error no.one except him setted up this watch before please expalin me if anyone knows about this
Mods please close - currently bugged
something very weird going on..side loading samsung pay on this UAE version comes with error "Check SIM Card.... .... this version only supports Korean phones"
EDIT: there seems to be problems with several versions of samsung pay. I don't know as of right now if any of them will work properly. This is baffling since Samsung Pay is officially launched in UAE and i had zero issues using it on 6.0.1
looks like it might be completely busted. tested various versions of framework/pay app and all just have the little circle spinning and doesnt do anything. might be going back to marshmallow
Has anyone been able to get a working root for the luna pro on straight talk yet. I dont know much about programming but it would be nice to get root to remove knox and other crapware that samsung throws on these phones.

No root at all. Apparently Samsung isn't a fan of root anymore. Or, carriers aren't. No progress at all so you'll be better off buying a new phone. This one is junk. A major downgrade from the original J3, which had 2 gigs of RAM and an AMOLED display. Oh, and it had NFC.
Well honestly imho this phone is worlds better than the core prime i was using. And it is fast especially how i got it set up. Carriers are what ruin the devices we buy as they want things locked to their spec list, i know this personally as i used to work for radioshack and was able to compare the same devices for different brands. Each had slight mods done to the setups but mostly the hardware was close to baseline over the big three, att, sprint and verizon. And essentially most straight talk stuff is either verizon or att anymore so if a root works for that device it should take for ours one would think.
Also its nkt that samsung wont allow root, its a deal thing with certain providers. My wife has a phone from life wireless and we asked around if it could be ported to another carrier and life wireless said it could not as the refurb stuff they provide for people is software locked to their system. But we ended up getting another device and was able to use the life sim for the new phone and kept her number and service. We just recently in the U.S. pass a law in federal court saying its illegal for any carrier to deny service or warrenty for any rooted device. But of course apple isnt a part of that. Only androids as far as i know.
Literally just took this out of the package for my sons first phone. I figured all these cheaper smart phones would be easily rooted. Im bummed out now
And still no one has tried to get this model rooted. I have lost faith with xda on this phone
Here is a qeustion for you. Since I know that the unlocked variant j3 firmware can be used to flash on to att he and be able to root, is there any way being they come from the same hardware and all that the Verizon j3 7.0 firmware would work on our Luna pro straight talk model. I know that all of the hardware is the same between the Verizon and my S.T. models from all the spec sheets I have came across. At this point I don't care for root, I just want the update to 7.0.
By the by I'm currently pulling the firmware off Google drive right now.
well i have searched and dug and so far have found that these phones use the very same logic board: sprint , verizon , tracfone/straight talk and a smj327r4(u.s cell?). and i managed to get the verizon firmware downloaded for the smj327vl, but really need an extra device to test if it works to install on the st/tracfone variant. if it works then we would have a valid android 7.0 on the luna pro model.
i have test phone

I have a spare sm-s327vl to try the firmware flash what is the google drive link???
I'm not sure on how to add the drive link. am adding it to my Dropbox so I'll post it here in a couple minutes hopefully
Found a way...lol
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/mobile/my-drive
It's labeled j327vl. And thanks for being a guinea pig for testing it. Let me know if it works!
What I do know is that it is in multiple parts..... For flashing in Odin. So I guess that's how the newer phones get their files now thru Odin for a stock flash. The last phone I odin'd was a galaxy core prime and it was a single file flash.
Any news on how it went with flashing the Verizon firmware?
Im going to purchase a spare Luna pro on payday and test this out myself to see if it works.
Joker do you have any news? Did you get it flashed. Anything it would be nice to have some input.
Nobody can download it because it redirects back to their own Drive. That's not the link to share. You have to go to that file & allow link sharing. Then copy/paste that link here
Sm-s327vl
Any luck with this?

I've searched and searched, but haven't found where anyone has made any headway toward rooting this device. Have there been any new devolpments?
Gotcha give me a couple
Alright I'm downloading it to my phone and then I'll try to upload where you can pick it up. Any recommendations to a site other than drive that would be easy to get thru
I've just gotten myself onto a Galaxy S7 for my carrier with Nougat installed. I happen to like the looks of this version and have no consideration to update to Android Oreo (8.0). But this looks to be a forced update. I have merely avoided this by just not connecting to wifi, however this makes me unable to use the samsung cloud without using mobile data to backup pictures and content. The only way I could perform disabling the update was through rooting the device, which I did not like having to do at all. It only brought complications to the devices run patterns etc.
As well I have also searched everywhere to find a way to disable the update service without rooting, even as far as Package Disabler Pro however it seems the developer was forced by samsung to disable this capability during the Note 7 Era. Even trying to use an Older Version of PDP failed because of the License Verification.
So I have come here to ask, Has anyone at all ever found a way to stop the update service from forcibly downloading the update when connected to wifi and forcing the device to update whatsoever, without Rooting the Device. Your knowledge and advice would be highly appreciated

Wow this is disappointing. I'm in the same position. I unintentionally tapped update vs, wait and now it asks me several times a day.
I didn't have any of these issues with my S5. Since when does samsung force their customers to update? Seems to me samsung still owns my phone after I paid for it. If I wanted this crap, I would have bought an apple. i can't believe everyone is ok with this? Not even a data toggle switch anymore. I had to use ADB to put this back. My S5 was able to multi-task and my S7 can't. Further my 5 can get on wifi faster. None of this should be possible.

I guess theres no solution to this then other than rooting the device sadly. I was forced to root it and I used the root method that requires no having to tweak the kernel so its been going pretty good for now. But yes indeed even my Galaxy S4 is faster than my s7 now in some cases. But the only thing I can see the issue with is now I hate having to restart my S7 when im using it because it takes like a minute or two to fully load up everything. Feels like im using a PC and not a phone
any luck ?
I'm not seeing a forum for J3 models from 2018, but if I'm wrong please point me there.
Would love to know if anyone has made progress on rooting this model. The other J3 roots seem to depend on having an eng build.
FYI, as with all J3's there are tons of marketing names ('Samsung Galaxy J3 Top' for ATT & Tracfone; 'Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit' for SimpleMobile; and many others)
I have also been looking for root options.

not likely as Samsung allows MVNO carriers to lock these things down. I have the same issue with a old S5 that is a tracfone branded device. Sadly, with the release of so many devices at so many price points, not many devs give enough of a (insert colorful expletive here) to do anything with them. I wouldnt hold my breath on a $80 phone
I recently got a Tracfone Samsung Galaxy J3 Orbit (S367VL). Bloatware up the ass. Factory configuration does not allow me to uninstall most of it. I can't even shut off the prompts nagging me to update despite un-checking "Auto Update System" under Developer Options. Most sources seem to say this phone can't be rooted. Others give bogus instructions which look like they are meant for other models.
Please help- Is there a way to get rid of all this ****ware Tracfone and Samsung have pre-loaded onto my phone? I never realized what an annoying pain in this ass this could be. Please tell me there's a way to root it, or uninstall the crap. All I want is a clean phone that can call, text, browse the web, and not spy on or nag me. Thank you.
