Changing the firmware version to my country

[Cris_96]

Hello, recently bought a new s20 FE and after setting it I discovered it doesn't support Samsung Pay because the firmware is from a country where it's not supported, can I install the firmware of my country without tripping knox defeating the purpose of this change?

I know I can use Google Pay but I'd like to have samsung pay instead. Thanks

Hello,

sorry, there is no possibility change firmware manually.

Unfortunately Samsung Pay requires the device to be sold in a country where the service is available in order to be used.

See you soon!

So my phone is from Poland and I'm screwed. Good to know, thanks

I'm sorry but you can't update it when you want, the phone has to ask you if it wants to do it, you know, technology does what it wants, for example, practically before, actually mine had gone into bootanimation

You can flash a different firmware though

[calderonestefano]

Oh in fact, but you have to ... wait, you know how to flash, right?

Hi everyone!

I'd like to remind you that flash operations are to be consedered as tempering with original software, which it leads to lose warranty, as long as unpredictable behaviours of the device.

As official Samsung Staff, we do not recommend it.

Have a nice day!

[Cris_96]

Yes, I do

I was just wondering if a simple flash would solve my problem or not. I have configured my phone alright so I don't have enough time to do it

as already reiterated, I kindly ask you not to recommend harmful and uninsured procedures.
