How to fix 15" rMBP Samsung yellowish tint

That's the whole idea of screen calibration ;)
To compensate the specific imperfections of your particular screen.
My screen must have warmer hue than yours, from the factory then.
PS the D65 whitepoint means it's set for 6500K.

Yes, I know but I suck at calibrating so I always like to try different profiles on my screen. The one the OP shared is the one I've been using since forever because it fits my screen almost perfectly (maybe a bit blue-ish but that's better than yellow). I'd love to be able to calibrate my screen but I always end up getting weird colours :eek:
 
No, I don't have a colorimeter and that's the issue. I always have a hard time figuring out what Apple's instructions mean when calibrating.

Your profile has just one small glitch: because it doesn't contain the 'mmod' tag specifying that this profile is Apple Display specific, Color Preference pane does hide this profile if you check the Show profiles for this display only checkbox.
I managed to copy the tag from Apple provided default profile (Color LCD) using the sips command-line tool:
First export the tag from Apple's profile (you may need to identify it's filename beforehand!)
Code: 
sips -X mmod /Users/priit/tag.bin /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/Color\ LCD-F7E52F93-B4AC-312E-87ED-39669F5C08B8.icc
Second add the tag from exported file to our profile
Code: 
sips --loadTag mmod /Users/priit/tag.bin /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/Apple_RMBP_Samsung.icc
That's it!

PS After I calibrated my display with a colorimeter, it appeared that the Apple_RMBP_Samsung.icc is slightly blue for my display.

It was aimed to be 5000K (=Blue)
