Philips Hue White without Philips bridge again

I saw that this topic was discussed here previously. However, it does not work! I’ve tried every possible suggestion, including unpairing bulbs with remote control, nothing helps. i am not able to connect it to my ST.
Sometimes, i see in logs tries of the bulb to join network (even succeeded), but actually it is not connected.
Tried it with 5 different device types, no luck.
Please, share how you were able to connect Hue White to ST without Philips bridge!
Thank you

I couldn’t find an clear answer like you but I finally figured it out. The bulbs out of the box weren’t showing up when I tried adding them to the SmartThings hub. I had a hue dimmer switch remote (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/philips-hue-wireless-dimmer-switch-with-remote-white/4373904.p?skuId=4373904) and held down the on and off buttons at the same time next to the bulb for 10 seconds. The bulb flashed a few times then they showed up on the pairing screen in SmartThings. Once you add them, go into https://graph.api.smartthings.com and change the device type to GE Link Bulb. They’ve been working well so far. Hope this helps everyone!
