I mean, I have the DBT CSC stock in my watch, I followed the steps in the first post of this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/succesfully-changed-csc-to-xar-to-t3718236

but when I insert the code *#272*719434266344# (like in the video 2 you linked) and the watch reboots, I chech the software information and there still is the "DBT" at the and of the software version, like nothing changed.

And when I flash the stock firmware at the end I don't have the Samsung Pay app..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Vlatard_2:
Nop. Same German active 2 and same problem. CSC change doesn't appears on watch screen. I'm afraid my watch is ready to go back to germany
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Vlatard_2:
Same problem

Same problem. German GWA2 and "succesfully launched" but nothing happens. :(:(. I fight and fight, but now I'm tired...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] rimgoru:
Thank for you providing the files. Is there any chance to get stock for a different CSC, preferably OXE?

A.

Good to know if CSA is accessable without Root?

cd /csa
ls

If no... Combination Firmware with Root is usefull...

If yes...

B.

cat /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf

In my Example you see XAR for USA...

With open eyes you can see... Production Code also contains CSC text string...

cat /csa/imei/prodcode.dat

C.

1 method for Logging is... enter Code after your action...

*#9900#

Maybe you can see by open eyes... why this fail or is blocked...

launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration

D.

You can try this and report what happens... Watch explode... your Dog or your Cat?

I'm also following this thread looking for help. Since I'm a new user I can't post any links or files so I'll try pasting something I think could be useful to you.

I tried launching csc.preconfig and got this

Let me know if I can help you in any other way. I could dm the link to the dump if you want it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tareqsy91:
Hi guys,

The same issue here. I am actually amateur when it comes to the codes you are discussing. I am ready to help with what I can. I hope you find us a solution as soon as possible. Samsung Pay app is one of the most important functions we paid for.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tb_:
[MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION] would you have to have this firmware for the r830? (the 40mm) version

I bought this one travelling and didn't realize samsung cripples their devices overseas and don't allow returns. First time I buy an Samsung device defintely the last time.

R830XXU1BSI9
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tb_:
[MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION]

Since I don't have the firmware here's prelim information. I ran the logger:

10-15 00:19:32.431+0800 E/LAUNCHPAD(P 3779, T 3779): launchpad_loader.c: __loader_terminate_cb(337) > dlsym not founded(/usr/apps/csc-manager/bin/csc-pre-configuration: undefined symbol: main). Please export 'main' function

10-15 00:19:32.431+0800 E/WLLOG (P 2579, T 2579): Mask has error/hangup flag set, client_proc(/usr/bin/launchpad-loader) mask[5]

of course running this directly deosn't work:

I also took a look at the rootfs from your r820 image

So I think the way of launching apps doesn't seem to work anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tb_:
Ok I just tested. Both of these launch_app actually works. There is a csc-util with setuid in the image it seems. Any idea what that is?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tb_:
OK I just downloaded the combination firmware for R830.

1. launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration - doesn't work

2. when i select csc in the menu with *#272*719434266344# I select xar, xsa or whatever. The device automatically reboots and is set back to the previous region

3. launch_app com.samsung.clocksetting works on normal firmware

I guess samsung went to extra lengths to forbid changing csc.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tareqsy91:
Do you guys think it is still possible to change the region? or are we giving up?

Does anybody know if samsung going to release samsung pay in Germany in the near future??

If they release it to our German watches. Would the app work with banks in our home countries?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] adfree:
Nobody has Crystal Ball...

Remember since Gear S2... S3 Sport etc...

Since many yearS Users ask about official release...

No idea how long you can wait. :D

Giving up is ever first choice in Tizen world. :good: :(

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] shinzomask:
I've managed to change the CSC region from Germany (DBT) to United Kingdom (BTU) on my Galaxy Watch Active 2 44mm (SM-R820). I want to thank tb_ and adfree and anyone else involved in finding the solution. I never thought I would have Samsung Pay working on my watch.

A few pointers to share for people so that they don't run into the same problems I ran into.

1) You don't have to install the full Tizen studio. You can get this version https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330 that adfree provided. It's SDBstarterKidv1.zip file.

2) Make sure you run ansicon.exe under the data\tools folder. Don't open a new command prompt like I did because you won't be able to edit the files because it will come up with scrambled text.

3) Use https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/vi-editor-unix/ to learn how the editor works as it's not like your basic notepad.

Thanks

Just successfully changed the region
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hashirajaz94:
Anyone successful with changing region on r820xxu1ashf, please reply as I am not receiving any updates for my device.

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

Hey how did you manage the required combination file as far as my technical knowledge is concerned you need the combination file with the exact code your concerned equipment is listed, the guy who posted the combination file has a different code.

Can you please explain it might be helpful for me and the rest.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] shinzomask:
I used the combination firmware with the Csc file from the stock firmware of the region you want to use. That worked for me. The combination firmware was also older than the stock one I was originally on. I flashed the combination firmware, changed the csc code and then flashed the stock firmware. I updated to the latest firmware as normal by using the watch software updates in the wearable app on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hashirajaz94:
Why Samsung is not pushing updates directly via the wearable app, this procedure to change csc seems really vague and annoying to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] shinzomask:
The above steps is only to change the csc to the country of choice. You only do these steps once to change the region. Once the region is changed then the update method is the same as normal. I use the wearable app to update it. The only reason I'm changing the csc region is because I bought my watch from abroad and want to use Samsung pay so have to flash a firmware from my home country.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hashirajaz94:
I got my watch from abroad having csc: r820oxa1ashf and r820xxu1ashf, but whenever I try to update using wearable app the popup appears showing "no updates are available " but in my watch about I am still running 4.0.0.6. Can you please explain how can I update my watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] shinzomask:
Where did you buy the watch from and what country are you in? The reason you can't update is because that's the latest update in the region your watch was bought from.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hashirajaz94:
I don't know the country from where my watch comes from, now I am in Pakistan. How to know if it is the latest update in the country my watch belongs?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] shinzomask:
I found out your watch belongs to a European region but that is the latest update available to the country the watch is from. You can either wait till a new update is available or change to a new region using https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/changing-region-galaxy-active-2-t3983895 guide.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hashirajaz94:
How did you check that it is the latest update in the country my watch belongs to?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] shinzomask:
Your watch has oxa code which means it's from either Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland or United Kingdom. I'm on the same code but on the United Kingdom Csc. I used to be on Germany.

I don't know for definite but I'm almost 100% certain based on past experiences with Samsung products that this is the latest update available to the region your watch is locked to.

I know your watch isn't from Germany or United Kingdom as that's running a newer update.

If you want you can change regions following the guide I linked to earlier but it can be quite technical if you aren't comfortable do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] fllipper:

Samsung pay

Hi, mates!

For those who successfully changed CSC - is there a youtube video somewhere explaining the process? I own a GWA2, but I'm too afraid to screw it up.

Also, why didn't your watches already come with Samsung Pay if it supposedly works in your countries/banks?

Help a rookie out!

Thanks in advance.

Can you upload for R825F? I am stuck on OXA.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] mreips:
I followed the https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/changing-region-galaxy-active-2-t3983895 tutorial using the files for this topic and changed the UPO region to ZTO successfully. ( SM-R820 )

After changing the region, the software version is 4.0.0.6 and in Brazil the current version is 4.0.0.7.

I was able to upgrade to 4.0.0.7 without any problem and now I can use Samsung pay.

Thanks to everyone who commented on the tips in this post.

Here are my tips for anyone trying to do this:

I used Windows 10.

Java 1.8.0_191.

Tizen Studio 3.6 with command line interface (CLI) installer.

Follow steps 1 through 7, after step 7 the watch will restart and you will have to enter Download mode again, dont worry.

In step 9, I chose the CSC stock file inside second zip.

After step 15, run commands:

sdb pull /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf

sdb pull /csa/imei/prodcode.dat

Both files will be in the root of sdb. (C:\tizen-studio\tools in my case)

Edit both files with Notepad or Notepad ++ (I used Notepad ++)

I edited csc-active-customer.inf from UPO to ZTO.

and prodcode.dat from SM-R820NZKAUPO to SM-R820NZKAZTO

Run commands:

sdb push csc-active-customer.inf /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf

sdb push prodcode.dat /csa/imei/prodcode.dat

Do step 16 and go to 21 and continue to the end.

Debloated after getting the Pie update, and I'm having issues installing apps. Doesn't matter if it's the Play Store, Galaxy Store, or any other method, they just hang on "installing" forever. Problem goes away if I go into the settings>apps>reset app preferences, but this of course re-enables everything and I have to setup a lot of my apps again.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] RockwellB1:
Got some time this morning and figured it out. Turns out you can't disable Device Security with the Pie update or things get screwy. I've got that disabled on my Note10+ and I believe it was disabled on my Note9, but on the Tab S3 it's a no-no it seems.

So don't disable Device Security (com.samsung.android.sm.devicesecurity) and you should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] elcidroyale:
Can you share the steps to disable all these apps? I only have a Chrome OS and Linux computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] RockwellB1:
I'm not sure how to do it with those OS's exactly as I don't have a linux machine and haven't tried this on my chromebook. But I do know it's possible, you use terminal I believe. I use command prompt on windows (from within the platform tools folder of the android SDK). Don't even need that installed, I actually just have the platform tools folder on a flash drive I run my bat files from usually.

Contained in my bat files though are my commands to disable apps, enable apps, clear data, change screen resolutions, or whatever I'm doing.

Make sure your device has USB debugging turned on in developer settings. Then the command I use to make sure it's connected after plugged in and the drivers install is "adb devices" without the quotes. Should come back with a number that's unique to your device. If that checks out, you can do all the other stuff.

To disable an app I use these three commands per app, it's two extra steps compared to most people, but it clears out the data for the apps before disabling them.

adb shell pm enable --user 0 "app package name here"

adb shell pm clear "apk package name here"

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 "package name here"

No quotes of course. And just repeat those lines for each app you want to disable. Grab the package names using the app Apk Analyzer by Martin Styk.

Hope this helps, if not feel free to ask and I can always boot up linux from a USB or try it out on ChromeOS.

One more thing I'll add is that you may want to leave gallery3d enabled if you use certain s-pen gestures like smart select.
