Dear All,

I am in Thailand. Samsung Pay (SPay) on My Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950F/DS) which is bought in Thailand works well.

But My Gear S3 Frontier (also bought in Thailand) doesn't work. It was officially announced that Gear S3 does NOT support SPay in Thailand.

My Gear is Not rooted. and now updated to Tizen 3.0.0.1 via OTA.

If I want to make my Gear S3 work for SPay, is it possible? Please advice.

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Gear S3] GioXmen123:
Since this thread has been made before Tizen 3 was released, I want to ask - what is the procedure to successfully convert a gear s3 frontier with tizen 3.0.0.1 ( Build: R760XXU2CQL1, Region: DBT) to a csc code that supports samsung pay in Europe? On a scale from 1 to 10 how safe is it? ( I have a stable internet connection close to my router, my pc is reliable). Will this impact future updates? ( I don't want to break OTA update functionality.

Also, does knox on gear s3 work like it does on android? (Once you root/flash something you loose features etc... ? )

As far as the instructions go, the only things that are unclear -

1) can I flash COMBINATION-FTMA_R760XXU2BQC2.tar.md5

2) Step 4 - Flash CSC file from stock firmware , which CSC file? Which stock firmware do I use? ( I believe I will have to update to tizen 3 again , since no tizen 3 firmware is available for flashing.

3) Set CSC code - Since I live in europe I will probably need to change csc to a EU country. I have a SEB bank card( Not the region SEB, but the bank called SEB ), so Sweden should be the most likely one to work with samsung pay , or do I still use XAR?

4) Reflash complete current stock ROM ( Still unclear which stock firmware :) )

I currently own a note 8 which is not rooted and has not been tampered with so should be no issues with knox.

Oh, and does samsung cloud properly restore app data? do I loose my apps that I got on the samsung app store?
[Samsung Gear S3] GioXmen123:
What is the csc code for sweden?

EDIT: Nevermind :)
[Samsung Gear S3] GioXmen123:
Okay so so far I have tried to use NEE csc code, which did not work at all. And then I used XAR csc code, samsung pay opens ,but fails to register debit mastercard. It is probably because I live in a country that does not have samsung pay :) It was worth a shot, and now I know it does not work :/
[Samsung Gear S3] Ivan-111:

See if u have done it for samsung pay then after FTMA_R760XXU2BQC2 you need to flash csc_R760XXU2BQH1 then change csc through dialing code.after that flash whole R760XXU2BQH1(AP+BL+CSC).

I have done but can NOT add any card to SPay on s3.

(All of cards have been registered and made payment on note 8 since October last year)

The other menu on note 8 shows all of my cards that already registered on note 8 and ask if I want to activate my cards, but I can not activate any of them, it doesn't work :(

Not sure if I have to update to TiZen 3.0 to add card.

Thank you

Note: I still can make payment directly from note8 without any problem.
[Samsung Gear S3] pakornk:
Can you add card to SPay on s3 and make payment by using s3?
[Samsung Gear S3] pakornk:
Completely done

From the beginning step with Gear S3 Frontier (on Tizen version 3.0.0.1)

through the final step by adding my cards and making payment directly with my Gear S3

Special thanks to

@winbytrick

for the excellent advice

and the answers to my questions almost four days in a row :)

in order TO MAKE IT CLEAR for me to do this flashing & config my Gear S3

(this is because I have no experience on flashing Gear S3, it's my first time)

Now three of my cards from three different banks have been added to my Gear S3

and make payment directly from it, without using my phone Note8 anymore.

Once again,

THANK YOU
[Samsung Gear S3] GioXmen123:
Are you from a "Samsung pay enabled" country? are your bank cards officially supported by Samsung? :)
[Samsung Gear S3] pakornk:
Yes,

many models of Samsung phones for example; Samsung Note8, Samsung S7 edge,

have "Samsung Pay (SPay)" built-in feature,

so many banks here, not all but at least three, officially support this feature on the phones too.

(not all bank, because some bank I could not register its card to SPay)

That's why I have been paying by using my Note 8 since October 2017.

It is OKay, I don't have to have my plastic cards in my wallet with me.

===

At that time Samsung said/announced "Gear S3 also supports SPay",

that's why I bought my Gear S3 (which is R760 model, NOT that one R765 with e-Sim),

(Note: in my country, there is only one model of Gear S3 Frontier available in Samsung shop, R760,

no option/no other choice to choose)

However actually S3 here from Samsung shop does NOT support SPay,

there is no

SPay app

on S3 ,

when I pressed and hold the back button of Gear S3, there was no response :(

This is the reason why I am here to make "SPay" alive on my Gear S3,

(even.... this feature on Gear S3 here is officially

DISABLE

by Samsung)

===

Hope, my answer is clear.
[Samsung Gear S3] GioXmen123:
Ah okay, I thought that you might have succeeded in adding a non-supported card to SPay :D

[Samsung Gear S3] BlueCider:
Here's a wacky question:

Any way to get Samsung Pay to work in both Japan and the U.S. at the same time on Gear S3 Frontier Int'l version watch?

I travel a lot and have accounts in both countries.
[Samsung Gear S3] winbytrick:
without any problem mate. As long as your card are international card like VISA, Master... it should work with any POS
[Samsung Gear S3] BlueCider:
The point is, Do I need a separate Samsung Pay account for each country? One for Japan and the other for the U.S.?

Because some of my cards are based in Japan, and other cards are based in the U.S.

Will both country's cards be able to be registered under one Samsung Pay? (This, I kind of doubt).

Anyone with some solid info/confirmation/link to info very welcome.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S3] adfree:
But you remember Sams.ng Advertisement... and S Pay Support... and you understand why few user tried this "trick"...

I am not sure how many user(s) travel between Japan and US with same Cards like you have...

Maybe you could try...

And if you are scared... no problem. Nobody is forced to try... your own choice.

But chance is very very low somebody can give you guarantee... that something inofficial work official... in more as 1 country at same time... :rolleyes:

I'll repeat. S.sung is not able to bring Spay to all Gear S2/S3 users... :D

Own risk to try.

Hello,

I bought my Gear S3 R760 on amazon this weekend, and it seems there is no SPay on it. When I press and hold the back button nothing happens, and there is no "Samsung Pay" in Gear app on my phone.

My phone is an S8 (G950FD), with knox tripped. That means I cannot use SPay directly on my phone. (This is also the reason why I bought Gear S3).

Now after reading this thread and the instructions, I have several dumb questions:

- Why isn't SPay working on my Gear? Is it because I'm using an international version bought from Amazon? What causes this issue? How is it related to CSC?

- Can I fix it by following the instructions and change the CSC code? Which CSC code should I choose? Should it follow the CSC code of my phone (which is Canada), or it can be any CSC code that supports SPay, for example, the Australian one used in the instruction?

- What if I use a CSC code that is not my current country? I mean, the watch is simply connected with the phone with Bluetooth, and it does not have sim card inside. Does CSC code even matter? I do not get it.

Thank you!:)

[Samsung Gear S3] bspencer2130:
OP Method Still works.... nearly perfect for me

I'm in Canada and 2CWQL1 was my current software when I flashed it with the 2BQC5 from this post. All went well initially but the only catch was my phone gear pay plugin was giving me errors when I would try to register, in the first step it would say "Unable to continue using Samsung Pay, Your gear may not be supported, If this doesn't apply to you send us an enquiry blah blah." I restarted both watch and phone a bunch of times and even did one more factory reset of watch with no luck. Silly me, I should of started by clearing the App Data of the pay plug in... then all worked well. Cards are added and all is good. Wished I just waited a day and tried this new method above from "ADFREE" with the tool but oh well. It works.

Cheers,

Hello guys,

i'm going to flash my gear S3 but i'm currently running tizen 3.0.0.2. Can i follow this guide and then flashing the R760XXU2BQC5 without bricking anything or i cannot downgrade my watch?

Thx!!
[Samsung Gear S3] shadowmx:
So I was trying this on my Gear and I'm now stuck in a bootloop.

I had 3.0.0.2 and successfully downgraded to BQH1, booted into the watch no problem.

I then did 3. Flash combination firmware and 4. Flash CSC file from stock firmware, rebooted and it gets stuck on the Samsung Gear boot screen.

I can go back to Reboot Mode screen, select Odin/Download and it shows:

ODIN MODE:

Current binary: Samsung Official

System status: Official

Secure download: Enabled

However, if I try to go into Download (Wireless), it just gets stuck on the flower/spinwheel thing and I don't get the option to select AP Mode.

Anyone have any ideas? Help?
[Samsung Gear S3] jtOttawa:
I used this successfully on a Canadian S3 - and I would agree with others that this seems like a much easier option (although it took me a bit of trial and error to figure out how to use the SDB tool). Also took a bit of trial and error to add a card - I reset the app and phone as another user suggested, and that allowed me to add my CIBC credit card - although I still haven't succeeded in adding my Simplii debit card - the app seems to think it's a credit card.

Given how it is just a matter of changing the CSC code to enable SPay on the Gear S3, does anyone have any idea why Samsung won't do it in countries where they offer SPay on the phone?? Makes no sense to me. Many thanks to everyone contributing here - this is why I love the XDA community!
[Samsung Gear S3] jtOttawa:
I ran into this issue. Type 'sdb shell' - then at the prompt type the launch command.

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I changed the setting in Windows Defender 'Allow an App Through the Firewall' for NetOdin to 'Private Network' and that seemed to work.
[Samsung Gear S3] jtOttawa:
I used this method and, although it might seem complex, it's actually very simple - and once you have the sdb tool installed, changing the CSC code (without flashing any ROMs) is incredibly easy - many thanks to [MENTION=7412054]detjoe[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION]! Thought I'd add a few clarifying instructions for newbies to the SDB tool like me:

1. The SDB starter kit in the link to the tool provided by [MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION] contains several .zip versions of the tool - select the one for your system configuration, extract it, and save it in a folder you can easily find later. It also contains a connecting guide (.pdf) which although based on the S2 is useful. Double click the 'Install' file; a CMD window will flash and close.

2. Back up your Gear S3, as it will automatically re-set with this method once you change the CSC code.

3. Enable debugging on your S3. Go to: Settings - About Gear - Debugging.

4. Turn off Bluetooth on your phone, and connect your S3 to wi-fi (not to the PC as an access point; just connect to the wi-fi your PC is connected to).

5. Find the IP address your S3 is connected to. On the S3, go to: Settings - Connections - Wi-Fi - Wi-Fi Networks. Tap on the connected network name, and scroll to the IP address.

6. Open a Command window (type 'CMD' in the Windows search bar). Navigate to the SDB Tools folder in your SDB folder.

7. Connect to your Gear S3. Type: sdb connect [the IP address, without the brackets]:26101

8. 'RSA Key Fingerprint' will appear on the Gear - tap accept.

9. Once connected, type sdb shell.

10. At the prompt, type launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration . The CSC code selector will appear on the Gear; scroll to the one you want and select it. The Gear will reset.

11. Once your Gear resets, re-connect to Gear manager (you will need to re-pair your Gear, and it will prompt you to restore from backup etc.).

12. You're done! Note that I struggled a bit with getting it to accept my credit card - I reset the SPay app from within the app and re-booted my phone as another user suggested and that seemed to work - but even then, it appears to validate cards based on the CSC code/country selected so I haven't yet succeeded in getting it to accept all the cards on the watch that I have on my phone - welcome any suggestions in that regard.

This method is so easy once you go through the initial set up that I might play with other CSC codes to see if one gives me more access than another...might... ;)

Welcome any corrections/additional suggestions - thanks again to all, and good luck everyone.
[Samsung Gear S3] jtOttawa:
OK, so just used SPay on the watch for the first time here in Canada - and on a no-tap terminal no less, much to the cashier's surprise and my delight! Worked flawlessly, so I am thrilled to say the least - now if only I can figure out how to add my debit card, it will be perfect - thanks again all! :)

Hi mate !

I want to use SPay in a country were is not available (Romania) with a bank card wich doesn't suport S Pay (ING Bank).

My question is : can it be done ? If yes, what CSC code should i chose ?

Thanks !
[Samsung Gear S3] jtOttawa:
As far as I know, sorry, no - regardless of the region you select, the card you want to use always has to be supported, as SPay verifies whether the card is supported - unless someone else here has found a way around that, which I'd be interested in hearing about as well...

Hello Hello! Thanks for the information... :)

My curious mind could not stop thinking of getting spay to work now..... So after posting this message, i kept on reading through the links..

Damn it was so simple..

I already have the Spay option available on the watch now.. Just trying to add my cards now... It got declined once..

I chose the XAR in the CSC code.

It literally has like 5-6 steps for the whole thing. hehehe

So i went out tonight and gave spay a go....

I was not able to add my Citibank CC in it. It kept getting declined from Citibank. I will try using a S8 to add my cards in my account and then try to import them in the gear app.

HDFC credit and debit card were added in one try. But, i was only able to use the HDFC credit card for an actual transaction. The debit card one was just not going through. Each time, it would say payment completed in the watch, but nothing happened on the actual machine and no transactions got posted on my account either.
