Samsung Pay Q&A - Everything you need to know



Hello fellow xda members. Looking around the forums, I noticed many questions posted regarding Samsung pay, so I will create this thread to keep all information and questions regarding Samsung Pay in one location, rather than spread across different threads.

The following are questions that I have seen the most, with simple answers that keep being asked time after time. If you have other questions feel free to ask.

1) Q: Will samsung pay work with root?

A:

No, not at the moment.




2) Q: I am rooted, can I unroot and use Samsung pay?

A:

If you used a method to root which did not trip your Knox counter, yes.




3) Q: My Knox counter is tripped, can I use Samsung Pay?

A:

Quote:









No. Samsung Pay will currently not work with devices that have Knox tripped.




4) Q: I have tripped Knox, can I restore stock firmware and reset the counter?

A:

Quote:









No, there is no way to reset the counter. Sorry to say, but you are out of luck.




5) Q: I am not rooted and my Knox counter is not tripped, why am I not able to open and use Samsung Pay?

A:

Most likely, you have disabled a package which is dependent for Samsung Pay. Make sure you know what packages you have disabled, and make adjustments if needed. This includes any Knox packages!




6) Q: I am not rooted, Knox counter is not tripped, or have any disabled packages, and still cannot use Knox.

A:

Try performing a factory reset. Your current status must be official! It could be set to custom, factory resetting may set it back to official.




7) Q: Can I use an xposed package to hide root & custom status to enable Samsung Pay?

A:

Quote:









Not AFAIK




8) Q: Samsung Pay does not work with my cards, even though its visa, mastercard, etc.

A:

Quote:









Not every card is currently supported, but more will be added soon! You will have to be patient and give it time. This is much more complicated than many of us know, and Samsung will add support when they know things are good to go. Check here for more information on current support and more questions about Samsung Pay http://www.samsung.com/us/support/ow...#compatibility




For now, this are the most common questions I can think of. I will update the thread if needed. Feel free to ask more questions or report any typos or contradictions :o
