Issue

[RioF]

I had purchased the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G online on a local website here in the UAE, Its an international version, South Korean to be exact, everything seems to be working except samsung pay, when i try to open the app or try to register my Credit/Debit/Loyalty cards its gives me an error saying "couldn't read sim card's phone number".  Any suggestions? 

Was told by Samsung UAE that i need to put a origin country (South Korea) sim card first to activate it before i can use a different country sim. Is there anyway i can bypass this.

Anytime! I made a video as well explaining step by step https://youtu.be/hzHzSk5KPUE.

NOTE - No need to enable OEM unlocking so you can flash without deleting data.

outside phones of uae has no valid warranty in UAE , flashing will not avoid warranty
