How can I activate Bixby Voice outside the US? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I really want to try out the Bixby Voice feature. Unfortunately, it doesn't available in my country.
Has anyone figured out the way to activate it internationally?

I watched the video and the guy has a custom recovery, so Knocks is definitely dripped...

No that wont your right, it will wipe your device however.
Flashing twrp to be able to flash the zip in your thread will as we know lol....they should see in the twrp the warning about knox however.
If not people should pay more attention lol

I tried it and its working KIND of. Every "normal" Bixby Voice command works. But when I try to use a "plugin" like WhatsApp it sais "Cant update third party plugin"

In the future I'll try to be less cryptic! Lol. When I tried it I got a bootloop after flashing the exposed framework (thats how it is currently installed). I knew ahead of time that this would happen but because I always back up before flashing anything I wasn't worried and thought I'd see for myself.
Here is the official site if you want to keep up on progress.

There is eng Kernel Root method for Nougat!

If you search they say it will work for Sprint, im out of town and nowhere near a computer to try it but just thought i would let others know! I take no credit in this, just poiting in the direction! Give credit where its due
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...eres-how-rooted-nougat-s7-edge-g935t-t3567502
Current root method breaks bluetooth on G935P 7.0 and wifi passwords are not retained even though the build.prop has been patched. So root with caution.

Strange. I haven't tried it yet, but I know the build prop exit fixed it on mm and others said that fixed it for this one too. I'm waiting for the u firmware to be released... more stable.

S6 KNOX Tripped - New Firmware

Hi all,
I tried to flash a new firmware to my S6 but got a message stating KNOX Tripped. I took it into the Samsung store and the couldn't flash a new firmware. I've emailed a phone repair company explaining my situation they said they could flash a new firmware with the KNOX Tripped message. Is this true? Why couldn't Samsung do it?
Thanks, Kristof

Sorry to hear that, you might get it probably this month. Carriers always suck with updates. Try the link above and download it manually for me it didn't work so i uninstalled it

Those who rooted, do you have GPay working? if yes how?

I assumed I could use Gpay after rooting but it doesn't work.
Anyone got it working

After rooting device, you sacrifice Knox related items like Samsung pay, secure folder etc
Gpay was supposed to work but requires some tweaks

Gpay is easy. Hide magisk all google stuff and google pay. Clear data. Then reboot. I used it twice today.

I dunno. Being able to use my phone to pay at legacy POS terminals is pretty awesome. Even if samsung pay doesn't get adopted as a mobile payment standard, MST still works fine.
Hell I'm working in Korea and I can pay bills, pay for all forms of transit, shop online, and send money from messages with Samsung pay. Even my Gear S3 being able to use MST is awesome, allowing me to make 10 purchases before the next time it pair back to my phone.
I'd hardly say it's overrated. It's a feature. Just like being rooted is a feature. It's utility depends on the user.
