From where did you buy this phone?
If you selected the language, then all default apps should change to the selected one. Make sure you didn't buy a fake S8.

won't help with Samsung apps - you're going to lose that functionality (nothing missed), but just download HK firmware and use ODIN to install. Simply install a vpn apk such as expressvpn and you will now have google in china!

Might need to be careful with which HK firmware you upload... I can't read Chinese so, I'm unsure. But I made certain that I used the right one for the HK 6gb phone, as I wasn't sure if it was the same for the 4gb phone with less storage and exact same model number. Good luck.

I have an S6 5.1.1 dual sim G9200 from CHINA (no Google Play Services etc).
Kernel 3.10.61-5369277 [email protected] #1 Mon 10 Aug 2015
Build number LMY47X.G9200ZCU1BOH2
Knox Premium version SDK 2.4.1 Standard SDK 5.4.1
I understand there is only 1 other G9200 dual sim sold and that is from Hong Kong. The beauty of the HK version is that it has Google.
I'm an amateur but can follow instructions well.
I simply want to change from standard Chinese firmware as shown above to standard Hong Kong firmware such as G9200 ZHU1BOGB or G9200ZZH1BOGB or G9200ZHU1BOGB so that I get Google etc. By the way, what is the difference between the 3 HK versions I've listed?
hi, I also need to do so, or at least have a way to install the GAPPS on this fw...
thanks!
I also need the same. Any solution?
The best (and maybe the only) solution is to root and install GAPPS
Could you give me some guidance on how to do that? I have never rooted a phone, so I would like to be careful. It is also the first smart phone I am using.
- I understand PingPong root does not work with Android 5.1.1.
- Is there a tutorial that would work for this specific phone and configuration (see original post)?
- Should I use ODIN?
- What will be the consequences (tripping KNOX, loss of features, risks, ...)?
- Can I go back to the original state of the phone after rooting? If yes, is there something special to do so that it is possible to go back?
- Should I replace G9200ZCU1BOH2 with G9200ZHU1BOH2 or one in the original post?
Thanks a lot!

谢谢！ I am afraid I would need more detailed instructions if possible. Any instructions in English available online?
Planning to try converting GS7 G930FD-Dual SIM to G930F-Single SIM by simply flashing the firmware of G930F.
FYI both are EXYNOS Version
Maybe flashing the right firmware will get the trick working. Will there be any issues with flashing except losing Dual SIM?
Will be good to know in which country is the G930F official sold so as to flash the appropriate firmware from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930F/
PS: Bought the Duos version because my country only sells it.
Thanks
I would say keep the Duos version. I'd to buy the duos as my country also sells only that version (yes there are other places to get but without warranty) and the best part for me was no bloatware. None at all.
Things that came pre-installed was general google stuff, MS word/excel/onedrive etc, facebook/whatsapp/intagram and the Samsung's own stuff.

The Global version single sim Exynos(G930F) also comes with minimal bloat.
So flashing its Firmware wont bring much bloats

Hi folks,
I just bought an International version of S8+ with dual sim slots (Model SM-G955FD). It came to me with a ROM from Taiwan region, but I'm using it in the US. Now I'm having trouble using Samsung pay. Originally it connected to the Play Store for Taiwan to download the application so it only supported banks in Taiwan. Then I switched the Play Store to US region but when Samsung pay updated itself it still kept downloading the Taiwan version of the app.
I tried searching Samsung Pay Framework and Samsung Pay app online. Installation was successful, but it requires a Korean sim card to be inserted in order to run the app... I definitely don't have that.
Odin wasn't happy to let me flash the AT&T ROM on my device so I couldn't extract a US version of Samsung Pay myself.
Can anyone who has a working US version Samsung Pay for S8+ extract the framework and app and upload here on the forum? I'll really appreciate it!
That would require root I believe which we don't have

Sims like you have to have US version of software in your phone in order to work. I have exactly same samsung pay in my phone and samsung pay is US version.
On Edge of Galaxy

Well it really depends on what version your samsung pay framework is. From other similar discussions I concluded that - No matter which region your cell phone (and the Android) is from, as long as you install a Korean framework it'll ask for a Korean sim card. As long as you install a Taiwanese framework it'll only support banks in Taiwan.
So now what I need is just the US region framework (and I see other people asking for it as well). Would you mind extracting your samsung pay framework from your cell phone if possible?
Hi everyone, I'm new here, sorry if somethings wrong with this question (let me know so I can change it).
But anyway, I'm from Ecuador and someone sold me a Samsung A505F double sim from Pakistan (also Malaysia and United Arab Emirates), not from america so my question is:
Is it safe to install a firmware from another country? Besides erasing my data and configuration will I lose anything? Can I still use my local network and stuff? What happens if I try another version? Please, let me know ASAP. I don't care wiping my phone's data so that isn't a problem for me at all.
The reason I want to change it is because I have a camera issue and SAMSUNG STORE told me that my version isn't sold in here and I have to go to the store from where I got it. They don't look at rooted devices, etc. They just look at firmware's country and the hardware condition.
Thanks in advance, regards.

If the model number is the same it should fine. I've done it in the past to get updates faster.

Hi,
I have a Galaxy SM-A515F-DSN 2020.
model number:- SM-A515FZBVEUE
I am living in Spain and unable to install samsung Pay as it's not available to download in the play store.
Am I Right in thinking I have to change the csc and firmware?
I have looked for the Spanish firmware and found this A515FXXU5EUL3_A515FOXM5EUL3_PHE.
Do I just use i¡odin and flash? I have seen a thread on changing csc but some of the links are dead.
ps. the phone is away for screen replacement at the moment with Samsung so no access to the current firmware installed.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Cheers Jon
