I am from Pakistan and premium apps, themes, fonts are not available for download in my Galaxy store.
Is there a hack to remove this restriction without root?
One way worked for me when I removed the sim card and cleared galaxy app cache, it removed the restriction. But I cannot do it all the time.
Tried using a VPN?
Yes, tried VPN, tried adding a US samsung account, nothing worked...

Can anyone confirm this?

This is now working, follow the directions in THIS POST
Where did you get the source?
Um, from the link I posted? Here's another, mentioned from the previous link.
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/04/11/verizon-disabled-paypal-fingerprint-support-on-the-galaxy-s5-google-wallet-works-though/
Well - I downloaded and installed just to see. The only log in options are "Email and Password" or "Mobile phone and PIN". I don't see fingerprint as an option anywhere....
It has apparently been hacked, so perhaps for the better.

Yes. you are right.
From 3 days ago..
PayPal announced that its fingerprint-based authentication system was live in 25 countries. Users will be able to authenticate their digital purchases on PayPal by swiping down on the home button. The idea is a novel way of extending the functionality offered by the fingerprint sensor. However, it looks like all carriers are not going to have this feature enabled. Droid-Life discovered that the PayPal authentication feature was disabled in Verizon’s version of the Galaxy S5. It is unclear as to why Verizon would disable this functionality, given that it is the only carrier who seems to have removed this feature. users trying to install a fingerrint-based authentication client on Verizon’s Galaxy S5 are being shown a message that says “this application will not work on your device.”"
Accessing the stock "Samsung Apps" through the "Galaxy App" widget directs to a completely different, unsearchable store. Why why why Samsung? See Attached screenshots (one searchable, one not)
To clarify the steps that I used to install Paypal, and link fingerprinter verification to it,
1> To get an actual searchable Samsung App Store, download the "Samsung Apps Mobile" from the phone via www.samsungapps.com or HERE (This BS is what was holding me up)
2> Install the PayPal app via the Samsung App Store (first uninstall the Paypal app if previously installed via Google Play Store)
3> Search and install NNL from the Samsung App Store
4> Open Paypal>Settings>Login Options>Register Fingerprint.
Not sure if this is going to work, but here are some backup .apk's I just made from my phone, and put em on Google Drive.
Searchable Samsung App Store APK
PayPal App from the Samsung Apps Store
Nok Nok NNL app
Great... Step by step. It's succeed.. :good::good:
Just got done doing this. I can confirm this worked on my Verizon s5! Thanks!
Did NNL find a way around it not working or did Verizon change their minds?

I wouldn't hold your breath on getting an explanation as to why it seemed clearly being blocked before, but a work around is now available. I never personally observed an active blocking to install the NNL app as documented on several sites, I simply wasn't able to search for the app that ties the fingerprint function to Paypal, and by the time I found the NNL app in the Samsung App store(not found in Google Play Store), I ran into no problems installing it.
Yes it works perfectly.
Can anyone post the apk of the PayPal app and nnl app of the
Samsung app store?
Thanks

Open either of the links this post, FROM YOUR PHONE, and you'll be directed to where you can install the Samsung Apps store. Then from that installed Samsung App Store, you'll be able to search for both Paypal and NNL, and install the apps. Both apps need to be installed from the Samsung store, NOT Google Play.
Or if you prefer, HERE is a link to the Samsung App Store apk on my Google Drive. You may need to enable "unknown sources" in Settings>Security first.
Thanks for the reply but I haven't a usa account in samsung app
Store
For this reason I need the apk

Your best bet would be to peruse the TMobile S5 threads, and find someone willing to backup the apk from their rooted S5, and see if you can download and install it. If you can, I'm sure many more would be grateful if you can then post a link over here too. Thanks
I updated the install instructions post HERE. I was able to create installable backup apk's from my Verizon phone of the apps needed, and host em on Google Drive.
Thanks
So T-Mobile S5 is rooted? And why we are not?
Worked!
This worked. Thanks!
Thank you! Works great.
I have a problem, the Samsung app store is region locked where i live. no matter what I tried I can't seem to get in to it to download apps.
With the first gear i could just download the apps and install the APKs.
any help on how to bypass the region lock on the store or get the apps any other way would be appreciated.
I rooted and removed some bloatware from my s4 and I think something may have taken away Samsung billing in the process. I can download free apps but if I try to download a paid app it tells me "Samsung Billing will be downloaded and installed from Samsung GALAXY Apps to complete this purchase" followed by "Error. Product does not exist in this store. (4002)" I'd like to avoid having to reflash the phone if I can avoid it so does anybody know if it's possible to simply replace a lib file or download Samsung Billing as an apk?
Not rooted but same problem
If anyone could shed some light on this I would be very grateful. I have the Note 3 trying to buy apps for the Gear 2. I get the same error. Anyone?
I have fixed the issue in mine by reinstalling some previously purchased apps. It redownloaded Samsung billing of its own accord when I did without an error this time.

Subject says it all. I snagged a new Fold 2 from Samsung China, and of course it comes with all the Chinese apps, etc. I can get all the normal western apps I need on it just fine with google play, but the Samsung store and Samsung Theme store is just local Chinese stuff, which is completely useless. I noticed in the settings, everything is changeable except region/country, which is set to China.
Is there a way to change this somehow, to give me access to the western Samsung [theme] stores? I tried using a vpn and cleared cache/data so it reboots seeing US servers, I reinstalled the whole OS using the vpn and no chinese Sim card, I uninstalled it and found the theme stores apks which don't even work at all, and still nothing. I figure there must be some kind of method to change the region itself.
Any help? Thanks

I have tried it by downloading the apk as well as using a vpn but it still shows the same error.. Also i can download and use it on my wife's s20 plus without any problem, but seems this is a problem with s22 ultra as i can see many reviews regarding the same.. Attaching screenshot
One more thing, the app ratings and reviews of the good lock app on galaxy store are different on my s22 ultra and s20 plus

I don't have issues with Good lock and I am not from any of those countries. The trick is to REMOVE the SIM from the phone. Clear the cache of your Galaxy Store. Connect to a VPN and open the Galaxy Store again. You should now be able to download Good Lock and set it up. Reinsert your SIM.
