Samsung Pay in UK on a German Fold 2 - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers

Hi, I'm in the UK and just purchased a new Unlocked Fold 2 from Germany and my issue is I can't register on Samsung Pay with it here in the UK {already have SP on my other phone). I think the issue is related to the CSC hope someone can help.

Not the answer you are looking for ... but I had a DBT CSC Fold2 a few months back and it worked with Google Pay.

Mine only lets me download the German version of the app which displays in English but will only accept German post codes for registration.

Samsung Gear SM-RF760 and Samsung Gear Pay - Issues

So, due to no Gear S3 being available in Australia for some time, I ordered the SM-RF760 Model from www.eglobaldigital.com.au
I have the s7 Edge Aussie Variant. Just found out that Samsung Pay is no available on the SM-RF760 and been advised by Samsung that it will only become available and has to be activated in the country i bought the watch from!!! Can you believe it? Maybe one day I can side load a version, of if someone can help, please please do
Michael
Sorry but you can't side load it. The only way to get it on the watch is to load the csc file from Australia. I am in the same boat in Canada. Have it in Gear Manager but it won't go on the watch until Canada updates the CSC file.

Thanks Swordfish

I only have it in Gear Manager because I use a US phone with US firmware in Canada. Should have bought the watch in US too!

Mine in Canada is OXA, can someone from US tell me what version you have? I believe this is what prevents us from installing SP on our watches.

I ask now on another forum and wait answer.
Man buy R760 from USA, now version APK7.
Pnone not Samsung. Adding russian card without problem.
SP working via NFC and MST.
Sorry for my bad english.
APK7 is the firmware version but I need to know what CSC version the Americans have. Using the procedure above, you can check and see what version you have. It won't hurt your watch to just check the version number.
Swordfish
My guess is my model number is the American version SM-R760
CSC: R760OXA1APK6 SM-R760
We have PK7 as the firmware but my thinking must be incorrect. It seems we all have OXA as the CSC value so now I'm puzzled as to how the watch knows not to install SP on my watch??
Swordfish
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING AND SAMSUNG ARE HOPELESS, THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTRY I PURCHASED, HONG KONG?? Is SM-R760 the USA version then?

I think, need another activation SP.
May be enabling in special menu, before buy.
May be first pairing and activation in country non USA.
May be first pairing and activation with non USA Samsung phone firmware.
I dont know....
gah samsung pay not available on my HK version of the watch. Gah is there any update on this (flashing firmware etc) to get samsung pay to work in my home country (australia)?
This is frustrating
It's the watch, nothing you do on your phone will bypass it. I'm in Canada, didn't even have the SP option in my gear app and then I sold my Canadian one and got a USA one and it installed itself on my Canadian S7 Edge (unrooted/unmodded). SP works even though we don't officially have SP in Canada (only pre-release for one bank)

Global rom on Snapdragon N20U version ?

Hello guys,
in my country (france) if i import a N20U with the snapdragon processor, i know for example samsung pay and volte doesn't work and updates software maybe not in same time (and different?), my question is, can i flash a qualcomm version with a global rom intended for the model with exynos processor? and if it's possible samsung pay volte etc work like the europe version after that?
Maybe it's a stupid question but the last time i used odin for flash a phone it's in 2012 so .. ?

1) I wouldn't assume that Samsung pay and VoLTE wouldn't work - it's actually likely they would, as Samsung Pay appears to work if the phone's CSC is for a country/region with Samsung Pay, and VoLTE appears to work if the phone has your carrier's frequencies and your carrier supports it;
2) Short answer is no, you can't flash an Exynos ROM on a Snapdragon model;
3) if your goal is to get a Note 20 with the Snapdragon processor, I would suggest you also check out the thread on the HK SM-N9860.

Hope it is helpful. I would add that while Samsung Pay likely would work in France using a U.S. N20U, it would be the U.S. version of Samsung Pay, and therefore not all cards from France would necessarily work with it, as again, Samsung Pay appears to be inextricably linked to the phone's CSC (country-specific code).
That said, as you will see in the thread on the HK SM-N9860, users are reporting good success with Samsung Pay outside of HK, for example.
Would welcome others weighing in on the compatibility and pros/cons of different ROMs with the various models of Note, as my knowledge is very limited in that regard.

I live in the UK and volte works perfectly. I tried with 2 different mobile operators. The same with wifi calling. Samsung Pay also works perfectly, it just displays Chinese promos.

chinese promos ? on samsung pay you mean ? you have the SM-9860 ?

Just until VirtualWaver replies, that's right - because it is the HK version of Samsung Pay on that model. His point was that he was using it successfully outside of HK, in the UK.
The key differences between the HK model and the N20U you are considering (apart from US vs HK Samsung Pay) is the HK model is dual-SIM, and comes with 256 GB of storage (versus the US base model's 128 GB).
Note as well the discussions in the threads about getting 5G on the HK model, which may be problematic.

Yes, promos related to country of CSC (Hong Kong in my case) - see the attached screenshot.
I have SM-9860 imported from Hong Kong (via Wondamobile).
All works great, only Hong Kong related ads in the app instead of your local ads and it doesn't allow to use UK transport card, only Smart Octopus (HK travel card) but this is only to touch in in transport without turning on the phone - you can still touch in and pay in public transport by swapping to Samsung Pay in lock screen and authorising the payment via biometrics.
I added my UK bank card and a few store cards and they all work flawlessly.
Confirmed Samsung Pay worked in Canada too ( SM-N9860 ), however not anymore since I rooted

This csc is annoying because the phone will have updates at the same time as China and I read that the updates are really later than in France

Flashing question re. Galaxy Note 10+

Hi all - first post, just curious if I can flash my US version Note 10+ with a different firmware for my current country, the UK... partly to remove the annoying T-mobile branding and related apps, but also to be able to use things like Samsung Pay with my UK cards?
It is a SM-N975U, I bought it second-hand unlocked, and use it with O2 here in the UK.
thanks!

Pretty sure you can unbrand it to u1. But for adding your 02 probably not. I've seen em chopped up before but it's always a mess in the end

Question Samsung Wallet - Wrong Country

I would like to use the Wallet app but I cannot sign in for anything as the App thinks that it is in Germany - I am in Japan. No other App does this, I'm not rooted and I don't have any VPN software installed. The phone was purchased in the UK.
Is this a problem with Samsung or do I need to change a setting?

I think you need to change the CSC there's a 5 minute 'easy' fix in the link below:
Samsung Pay in german, CSC is EUX fix, 5 minutes
Hello This also works with most Samsung phones If anyone is struggling with Samsung pay being in German and has the csc being EUX, I know how to solve the issue and it only takes about 5 minutes. Basically the csc is set to EUX, which is the new European standard, but for some reason, Samsung...

Question Buying and moving to another country (Care+ and Samsung Pay?)

Hello everyone.
I am planning to buy soon the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra but I am in a situation when I would be moving country (from France to Spain) in a few months.
It looks like the Samsung Care + insurrance is bound the the country it's being contracted for ?
Also I remember back then I had a S9+ and when I moved from Spain to France I could not use Samsung Pay anymore even after device reset, from what I remember I had to reflash it completely with Odin using a stock firmware made from France instead of the Spanish firmware I had, do you know if this is still the case ? (From what I see on the sammobile firmwares lists it looks like it's mostly an unique european firmware now instead of one per operator and per country ?)
Do you know if by luck we can register card from both country like how it's possible with iPhone ?
Do you know if the same limitations also apply to Samsung Watches ? (I remember I had to do the same back then with Odin and my previous Samsung Watch that was on Tizen to be able to register French card on Samsung Pay on it)
Thanks
I am Argentinian and brought my s22 ultra in Uruguay. They told me that the warranty was valid for three countries, Argentina, Chile and of course Uruguay. It is a carrier unlocked device, meaning that I can use it with any carrier. Perhaps you should just ask if your warranty and Care services will still be valid?
For the thing about using Samsung Pay when changing country, back then I had flash it with Odin with a new CSC.
Is this something I would so have to do if I move from France to Spain? I see that there is an European CSC for this model so I'm not sure.
