[GUIDE] Getting Bixby to work outside US - Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion

This tuesday Bixby voice got released with English language. Unfortunately it got only released in United States. So here's a guide how to get it to work on your S8/S8+ (It may also work on ported devices but i did not test.)
Update all the Bixby apps from apkmirror. The names of the apps are:
* Bixby Global Action
* Bixby Home
* Bixby Service
* Bixby Voice
* Samsung Voice Input
* Voice wake-up
Always make sure you have back-up before flashing anything!
Then you need to change your CSC to a USA one. I recommend using the XAA csc
The easiest way to do that on S8/S8+ is by using Flashable CSC Selection V1.1.0 from @Tkkg1994.
After the device booted you need to clear the data of all apps that you just updated. Then press the Bixby button and follow the setup.
Enjoy! Or not, your choice.
3th party apps aren't working yet. Because you can't update the plugins.

Will flashing a new CSC require a factory reset?

Will it work on stock roms?????
Will at trip Knox???

Yes it will trip knox i guess

No it does not. You can change csc at any time.

You will need custom recovery to change CSC so yes jt trips knox.

Just tried it. Updated everything Bixby related, cleared Data and then flashed XAA CSC.
Works fine, big thanks!

Can you confirm if it tripped your knox

Knox will get tripped after you flashed TWRP or any other custom recovery.
Yes it wil trip. But if you use a custom rom that is deknoxed (almost all of them) there isn't a problem.

I just want all apps ie banking . Samsung pat to work after words. Dont really carte for knoxed trip

And what if we flash our own firmware with a csc from an US firmware with odin? Will this work? Don't want to trip knox

And on another note... What 3rd party apps dont work

Yeah, this. My Knox was already tripped since I flashed TWRP. My ROM fixes that by spoofing a 0x0 KNOX, but AFAIK Samsung Pay will still not work.

There is some sort of update required to get 3th party apps working. For now only Samsung apps work with Bixby.

You need more than the 0x0 spoof.
I actually don't know if you need the right CSC for Samsung Pay. However, i found this post for you so at least you could try.

As far i've found on the web it won't trip your knox. As long as you don't root or flash custum recovery.

But flashing à europe s8+ to a US csc ? Possible

I did this with my S8. I had DBT (germany, unbranded) installed and just flashed XAA (USA, unbranded).
So yes, it is possible.

Where did I you find it?
Knox cannot be reset. With a tripped Knox you cannot use Samsung Pay nor get OTA updates, and also you voided your warranty.

1) whether or not Samsung Pay is affected our not hasn't been proven yet. I wouldn't normally use it anyway
2) OTA receipt is no different from any other rooted device, unroot and it should work or just wait for a Rom with the new OTA built in.
3) warranty really depends on what the issue is, if you deal with your wireless provider or have to deal with Samsung and where you are.
It had never been a big deal or a hindrance to me on past devices.

tripped knox only disables samsung pay you can still get ota's just you need to have unmodifed stock firmware!

No, that both Samsung Pay and OTA updates won't work not because tripping knox, but because rooted device. Also online bank security keycode apps won't work in a rooted device as Samsung Pay won't, just because pay security reasons. With tripped knox and non rooted device both functionalities should still work.
What won't work with tripped knox (rooted or not rooted) is Samsung My Knox, so you won't be able to use both personal and enterprise enviroment on same device, or you won't be able to use two different whatsapp accounts on same device using My Knox (without need of third party whatsapp clients or swap directories or things like that...).

Flashing Official G930F Rom on G930FD

Hi,
As I have no need for Dual-SIM functionality,
I would like to install the Single-SIM Official ROM on my G930FD.
Will it even work? Will I trip Knox?
Thx in advance.
Up! I'm interested too!
Does not trip knox, but dual sim capability is also in the F rom.
However I can't activate my knox, it says custom os was installed before. I read on forums several people had this problem, and usually a factory reset fixes it, but I did not tried yet. (maybe it has nothing to do with installing the F rom, but using odin.

Thanks for the reply. If not for disabling Dual-SIM, what are the benefits of the F ROM?

I have an FD and samsung pay and my knox works just fine on the XSG csc. Maybe it's because you have been rooted?

Samsung pay is the big one. Also newest updates. Dual SIM shows up in settings, so I assume it works just fine. I tried it once, but didn't really "live with it" to have any experience with it.

I did not root. Is it possible to root without tripping knox?
But I have a feeling I made a mistake by flashing only the AP file and skipping BL, CP, CSC.
I will have to start flashing again

Yeah that's why. You have the flash the entire firmware if I understand correctly. And you can root without tripping knox, but I don't think there is a way to defeat the authentication mechanism and use rooted apps and knox/pay apps while rooted.

When using Odin to flash a G930F stock rom and changing to a european CSC - did you check Re-Partition or not?
And even before that - was it necessary for you to enable USB Debugging and/or OEM Unlocking?

[Guide]Use Samsung Pay and Knox on your Rooted device

WARNING THIS IS A WIP AND SO FAR NO ONE HAS CONFIRMED THIS WORKING
Samsung pay and Knox is working after Rooting.
How is this possible?
well,
The loophole here is both Samsung pay and Knox apps check the kernel for knox status.
Developer of the Superman ROM and Superstock kernel @Tkkg1994 has modified his kernel to show knox status as 0x0 to Samsung Pay and Knox apps.
Steps to use Samsung Pay and Knox in your phone
Method 1:
1. Flash the latest Nougat BL, CP and CSC of your home country with odin.(only if ur country has samsung pay working. If not use files from the spay countries)
2. Flash TWRP
3. Download version 2.0 of Superman ROM. (Its not working in newer version I dont know why )
4. In aroma choose the included (ii) Superstock Kernel (ii)Samsung Pay (iii) Root with SuperSu.
(keep settings as close to stock as possible)
5. Install CSC of your country (The csc of a country which has samsung pay in it. Use korean CSC if just want to test)
6. Reboot. It takes time for setting up wait for 5-7 mins
7. Download the Latest version of samsung pay app and install it. (Download it now itself from playstore and save it somewhere)
8. Open Spay give it internet access. Sign in to ur samsung account from here and setup the app at same time.
(Some users are getting error connecting to server try again later message. So login to ur samsung account from the app. That way it wont show you error message)
9. Add your Card and make a purchase
Note: For this to work the bl,cp,csc must be of official spay released countries.. If you have installed only bl and csc or only csc it might not work..
So spoof ur existence properly into the country Make the app believe that you are from Korea/spain/US or any other spay country
Method 2:
This is from another user who got both Samsung Pay and Knox to work @NilayNoob
0. Install Stock Nougat rom (Use the firmware from a country where samsung pay is working)
1. Install TWRP.
3. Install latest superstock kernel. That's a must.
4. Root with supersu
5. Reboot
6. Install Samsung pay and my knox to get them working
Check out the screenshots.
Cheers.

Its just a finding. There arent any threads of samsung pay working on a rooted device.
So I just made one thats all.

Which kernel do you use with superman ROM? If it didn't work with magisk than how did you root?

Sorry man that I cant do I am from India. And its not released here yet. I flashed korean csc along with the ROM to test this. So Im afraid someone from the samsung pay working countries have to confirm the actual purchase and provide u the receipt..
But I can confirm that you can add the card into the app successfully.. all the aspects of the app are working flawlessly. Whatever I click gets opened..
If the app wasnt working it wouldnt have even go past the setup page as it successfully did in the other custom Roms that I tried. Displaying the message "Your device has been modified in an unauthorised way. Please call our customer care service"
This is interesting. Can anyone else confirm?
Well I confirm that the app successfully does everything in my knox flagged rooted phone running superman v2.0 Rom.
Changing csc doesnt affect the functionality of the app. In few months samsung pay is gonna be released in India, so they pushed samsung pay app officially along with the nougat firmware. Opening it says that they will be releasing it soon..
Flashed many roms and other roms doesnt even open/load the app
All Im saying is that, "The app in that particular ROM doesnt bother checking your knox status" and works flawlessly. I dont know what kind of tweaks made this change to the system and the app. The developers only has the idea to get to end of it. I am just a flash junkie.
Im happy that It works in my phone and can successfully use it when samsung pay is released in my country
Its up to u guys to believe me or not.
I gave u the proof. If u are tempted give it a try.
If u are not ignore it.
Anyway I got what I wanted from this Rom.
Cheers everyone..
I have my university exams in 14hrs. let me go and prepare till then
I used Samsung Pay in India to pay for almost everything. But the thing is you wont be able to register your Indian Bank's Credit card on Samsung Pay. If you have access to any US based credit card then give it a try. It's fun to look at the faces of clueless merchants trying to figure out how I paid with a mobile device. Btw nice find I might try to root now but need more confirmation of it working in stores/while paying.
EDIT: wait you said you can add a card, then just try to pay with it coz it will work on any credit card machines out there (even the some of the smaller ones).

i also notice samsung pay opened up on official nougat with tripped knox. I can not use because i was on btu and Iam in usa. my credit card does not support it.
May be someone can try with DBT csc. Or even US AT&T csc, which I think is available for rooted phones?

The fact you are on a s7e port which is a custom ROM means you had already tripped knox permanently, any app that required knox will not work anymore such as samsung pay, you can hide root via magisk and magisk hide, but just to reiterate once you trip knox it cannot b3 reversed

You're not understanding what I mean, once you trip knox by installing a rom like s7e port, doesn't matter if you return to stock rom, knox will remain tripped. You won't be able to use samsung pay at all because knox is permanently tripped, shealth should still work though, I'm in stock rooted MM, so can't confirm everything
