It could be that while nx mini gets 'fooled' by the edited file, the nx30 does not. You could go in a shop and try with a nx mini through the nx adapter to see if that works.

Otherwise (but this is a bit "wild") what happens if you attach a working 16-50s lens, go into the update window, and then change the lens? Please keep in mind that you should, first artificially depress the switch inside the mount so that it doesn't realize that the lens is being removed.

That sounds like a great idea but the Samsung cameras are so rare that I have no idea where I would find someone local that also has that lens. I don't think there is any camera store that would let me play around with the lenses to that extent.  But....great idea.
