Seems we have soon 1 more method to change CSC:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76011839&postcount=488

This method WITHOUT Flashing Combination Firmware... but require SDB Tool.

Normal Stock Firmware seems to work. :angel:

SDB Tool is for instance here:

Only as info. :cowboy: ;)

If the second Command for CSC Preconfig is available...

We need new Tutorial... maybe somebody have free time.

Thanx in advance.

Good evening everybody, thanks for the nice guide! Last week I bought a Gear S3 frontier (SM-R760) in Italy but I discovered that no Spay was available because my Gear comes from Portugal! I have the last Tizen fw from the beginning. I tried to follow the guide step by step using the factory image of the last rom and the official last rom, but when I have to select the CSC to ITV, the Gear says: ITV is installing; after that, it reboots and nothing changes, the Portuguese is still there (nothing again Portuguese people, of course :)). Is this happened to someone else? What can I do? Downgrade or I don't know. Thank you in advance.

Combination Firmware is BQC2 or you tried with CQL1 FT30 Combination Firwmare?

BQC2 work. :good: :cool:

FT30 Combination Firmware CQL1 do what you described...

2.

We have new method...

With SDB Tool and Stock Firmware... NO Combination Firmware required.

I tried the tizen shell approach "launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration"

Used on my R760 bought in Germany (CSC DBT). I tried to change it to XAR and NEE (I'm located in Sweden).

Prior to changing "no payment apps" was displayed.

The same is now being displayed after swapping to either of the other sale codes...

So I guess I need to flash the combination firmware?

Edit: Appears to be working now on NEE sales code! seems like it downloaded the app in the background as suddently the Samsung Pay notification appeared on the watch followed by install prompts in the gear app on my phone. Sweet :3, thank you!

A big thanks to the OP my watch is now complete. Samsung Customer service insists that LTE on the watch is required...they need to learn their products better. XAR on Gear S3 that was XAC. Two minor annoyances: the automatic verification by signing into your bank does not function, no big deal just need to use the call bank option.; debit cards cannot be verified by the software and gives no option to call the bank, not a real problem Spay on the phone has that.

Succesfully changed the CSC to work with cards in the UK. Method I used was the one with sdb tool, everything went well, selected the code for UK and after Gear resetting and pairing I could add Samsung Pay through the Gear app. Added cards flawlessly and used the watch in stores, works like a charm.

This was for a Gear S3 Classic SM-R770.

Hi !

Do you know if i can add Interac debit card (RBC). I managed to add it to my Samsung S8. Even after changing my SM-R760 from CSC from SER (i bought my device in Russia) to XAR , I still have a problem with debit an Interac card support. As for the Visa/Mastercard credit cards, I'm asked to enter a US zip code (I assume US because i can only enter numbers, nor letters are available).

If you have any idea how to add Interac support, I'd really be grateful to you. Should i find something, I'll post it here too.

Samsung Gear S3 Classic (SM-R770) - Please Help!

Hello,

I haven't been able to find much more recent information than this post with regard to changing the CSC on an SM-R770, so I thought it would work but I was an idiot and not only did I update the software on the gear as soon as I got it, I didn't make any preparations or even determine which software version was running and I used the files provided hoping it they would just work even though it's been quite some time.

I flashed the linked stock combination firmware from the guide and used the firmware from [MENTION=2760772]xedamen[/MENTION]'s post as the guide says to flash the CSC file as well. After it had completed I restarted the Gear and it now continually shows the loading screen. I'm quite worried as I can't even turn the Gear off. When I choose that option it just restarts.

I can get to download wireless mode and connect with netodin3 but I have nothing to flash that will work. Is there somewhere I can get the original firmware for my device? I appreciate any advice you can give, I've searched and tried to find a solution but I'm lacking in knowledge and anything relevant is quite outdated now.

Many thanks,

Dave

All sorted - thanks!

Thanks for your help and your swift reply adfree,

I managed to get it sorted in the end! I think I must have left one of the checkboxes checked in NetOdin3 instead of clearing them between flashes, or perhaps I selected the wrong one. Anyway, after the flashing process completely successfully the phone wouldn't start but I still had access to wireless download mode.

I tried starting the process again and flashed the combination stock firmware, which allowed the device to boot again. Then I just followed the rest of the steps and it worked perfectly.

Apologies for any time I wasted but very happy to report this process works well if you follow the instructions correctly.

Many thanks.

Hi!

My watch is r720xxu2frc1 but I cannot find that firmware anywhere, can I use another firmware after installing the combination one?

Can I download the firmware from my watch?
[Samsung Gear S3] Fonsinho:
To do that, just flash this version and then you can choose the CSC from the country you want, in that case the korean CSC. After that you can flash another firmware more updated (cause that one is very old and limited) that you can also find here

Good luck!

Hello everyone!

So I've mistakenly used 770/classic firmware on my 760/frontier in step 3 and noticed choosing the wrong folder (since I downloaded both firmware for multiple watches) in step 4.

I went ahead and used the firmware found here, but forgot to uncheck Auto Reboot since I had to restart NetOdin.

Now, my frontier is stuck at the Samsung Gear S3 Classic logo. "Yes, you read that correctly. Saying Classic while mine is Frontier. It was a silly mistake of windows redirecting me to the previous folder." When I go to the Wireless Mode the AP mode will not show on screen and tried [MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION] 2 seconds/1 second pressing method, but no luck.

Any idea if this will work in USB mode? Has anyone managed to flash successfully after bricking while using wrong firmware?

[Samsung Gear S3] shenery:
Ok I fixed it. Had to flash combination firmware and then flash stock ROM staright after that without auto reboot checked. I don't know if it is because I have changed the watch to the same CSC twice and maybe it isn't liking it but whenever I flashed combination and booted up keystring it wouldn't allow me to flash stock. So the fix was to uncheck reboot and flash combination ap and then after that flash stock ap CSC and bl and all is good. Just incase anyone has any problems.

Also if anyone has any problems with forgetting to uncheck reboot in Odin. I forgot quite a few times and as soon as the watch starts to boot you just hold the power button and your back in the screen with download wireless again.
