Will this work on R830 with Tizen 5.5.0.2 version?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] pipo6133:
Hi all,

I have Samsung Galaxy Watch Active2 (SM-R835F). I wanted to change the region. As first I have installed a combination firmware I have downloaded and the watch was bricked successfully (not able to start wireless mode). :) So I gave it in service centre where they were able to "unbrick" it by installing Tizen version 5.5.0.2 and SW version R835FXXU1CUD1.

Purpose of the region change:

Currently I am not able to use the watch with an eSIM card in my country (Slovakia). It says there is no mobile plan available. I have tried Orange and O2 SIM cards in the phone.

My questions are as follows:

Are there different combination firmware?

What combination firmware should I use not to brick it again?

Thanks in advance for help.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] xjust:
i am also interested in 5.5.0.2 csc change. anybody has the info ? please help
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] AbhinavJain:
Same here. Has anyone tried it on 5.5.0.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] prucdo:
no one tried?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] edufri07:
Hi All !

Similar problem. I bought a SM-R825U (Tizen 5.5.0.2) in USA and now in Argentina the watch cannot recognize any celular network. The company says that in Argentina we must to use SM-R825 and SM-R835 ( and now, not before, says models of Mexico and Canada).

What should I do ?

To flash it, Need I to use only SM-R825U combination files or Can I use 820, 825 or 830 files (any other combination files) ?

Excuse me for my english but I speak only a little. Thank you !
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
That's usually because service providers are populating a "compatible devices" list into their cloud.

When you try activating your watch, the cloud decides whether your device can be considered as supported.

CSC change might or might not change anything in terms of LTE activation, as your watch model will stay the same, hence the cloud-based decision will still decide your watch as unsupported.

In your case CSC change can indeed help, but for that you need to be very careful.

I'd try first asking your provider in Argentina for an activation QR code.

When you have that, you can use your Galaxy Wearable "hidden" menu to activate the LTE of your watch by QR code and then no cloud-based decision will happen, and you won't have to change your CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] edufri07:
Thanks you so much Danergo for your help !

I just called my provider and they tell me that they charge the service by system and do not send any QR code.

I couldn't find the Galaxy Wearable "hidden" menu to activate the LTE, so if you want to give me some advice on that, it will be very welcome. Sincerely...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
1.) Open "Galaxy Wearable" on your phone

2.) Make sure it's connected to your watch via Bluetooth

3.) 3 lines on top-left corner to open drawer then select "About Galaxy Wearable"

4.) On this screen you'll see version numbers.

5.) Touch 5 times on the "Galaxy Wearable" label

6.) Select "Test ESIM Feature" from this hidden menu

7.) Then you can change "Current QR TestMode: off" -> to "Current QR TestMode: on"

After these steps whenever you want to add a provider to your watch, Wearable app will always be forced to open the QR reader during the ESim activation.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] edufri07:
Great ! Works very find. Now, I'll be waiting the day when my provider can give me a QR code.

I also seemed to see that it could be configured by hand. I'm going to ask my provider if they can give me this information.

I made a post about my 3 doubts but I'd like to know the simple third of them, Can I make a backup of the watch's files, at least the combination files ?

Thank you so much for your help !
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
I guess, yes, when flashing it you must select the "download mode" on the watch, and if I remember correctly there is also an "upload mode" there.

But WifiNetOdin doesn't have (at least what I have) a backup option, so you must also have to search for some custom Odin which provides the backup functionality.

Anyway, why do you want to backup your "combination" files? There is no such thing on your watch. Your watch simply have a firmware.

"Combination" firmware used to be an original firmware modified with custom configs which let you change region. But is not meant for usage afterwards.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] edufri07:
Sorry Danergo ! Excuse me for my rookie questions.

I only have 3 days of reading on the subject and perhaps also because my English limitations is that I don´t know well how the process is.

As I couldn´t find a combination files that matched my version, I thought that I could use the same combination files saved from my watch to do the CSC change process. Also believed that the combination files was part of the firmware or the firmware itself. Now I suspect they are only configuration files.

I don´t pretend to understand the process. With only being able to imitate the tutorials I´d be happy, but that difference in the last 4 characters of the versions made me uneasy.

Does anyone have stock firmware for R835F OXX?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] QuantumBiker:
Would not pair with phone after following this process. SM-R820 non LTE phone which was on 5.5.0.2 Tizen. Using the 5.x.x firmware, Got a write fail on final Netodin3 step because I picked CP by mistake - I redid it without CP (did not reboot phone). However, now I cannot pair the phone!. Phone has a bunch of yellow and blue text on watch and red TCOV:N then UART info. Then I realized I needed to turn on bluetooth. However, the watch face is obscured by the "\P:NO PHONE" and UART info. Phone appears stuck on "Finishing paring..." I deleted the wearable app and cleared phone cache and tried again but that did not work. Stuck on finishing paring screen still. Finally tried to revert to factory firmware, but new firmware looked to be what booted - - looks like this bricked my watch.

Looks like combo firmware is still showing on watch and red TCOV:N on display. Touch screen no longer works.

Was on R820XXU1DUE3 when I started....

Hello. I bricked my r830.

I made a usb conector tried flashing different versions but can never connect to phone.

Can anyone provide step by step guide how to install stock firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] dmokis:
Thank you very much for the tutorial and support, very well explained. I have followed the whole process, it has worked correctly. Changed csc to PHE. The problem is that it does not receive OTA. It says I already have the latest firmware. The model is the R830, and I made it with the files for the R830. Somebody could help me? You now have the firmware: R830OXA1DUA3
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] xjust:
Many thanks for this information.

I have my active 2 since 1 year (currently on 5.5.0.2 firmware) without any success to use the LTE feature in my country. Even took the watch to the samsung store, and they failed to change the CSC (or just didnt know how).

My (orange) sim provider can send me qr code to scan for the sim card.

This method will enable LTE on the watch that is coded with a different CSC ?

thanks again for all your support.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
Yes.

This method offers you a QR code reader during the LTE activation process.

There you can scan your provider's QR code and then your watch will use that provider's network.

You might need to finetune APN settings on the watch to have working data connection. Usually this is not needed though.

Changing CSC is totally out of scope for Samsung Stores. It (can) voids the warranty if you don't take care.

However, based on my experience, you don't need to change the CSC in order to activate the LTE. (CSC changing mainly helps you getting officially unsupported features on your watch, like SPAY, BloodPressure or ECG).
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] xjust:
I did try to activate the watch LTE function on my current provider.

They asked for the EID number and the IMEI of the watch, but it failed to connect to the network.

I will check tomorrow with them, maybe it will work.

Will report back here if it works using the QR code
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] xjust:
I report back. the activation of lte worked perfectly with danegro's method, including data connection

watch now works on romanian orange provider with csc from uk by scanning the esim qr code

I just want to double confirm that this allows me to buy a European Stainless Steel version of the watch without LTE and switch the CSC to use Samsung Pay here in the USA?

Hi.

I understand that NEE should help me getting samsung pay app. is it right? I also did not find the other swedish csc in the list *#272*719434266344#

Does it happen that you live in Stockholm so you may help me changing the csc code if we can meet! I can invite you for a "fika" :D

I would appreciate any kind of help otherwise.

The pull command is not working in my case! I do not actually remember what it tells me but I guess it was like a false command. Although I copied it as it is in the steps list.

Can you please tell me what text editor you used? and how you wrote the commands letterly.

Sincerely

I don't really know how the most of my problems were solved because I did like every single advice I read here.

Anyway I got the csc to my region instead of Germany.

Unfortunately I have't got the 4.0.0.7 tizen update. Not even sure if I will get it or not. Because Samsung hasn't released Bluetooth version in my Country. We only have the LTE version of the watch. Anyway I am satisfied I got my Samsung Pay. I already had the 4.0.0.7 when I had the German software and I don't really see any differences !

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] kaemon:
Hi,

I just bought on amazon a galaxy active 2 stainless steel Bluetooth version. (NO LTE), .sold as "international".

Upon receving it, i m guessing (??) ,from the manual, it might be coming from Brazil with a soft version R830XXU1BSJ6.

I can't install samsung pay on it. however I thought they had Samsung Pay in Brazil... Am i wrong ?

So i came up to this post to try to change it to USA version in a hope to be able to install samsung Pay.

What is the CSC for USA ?

If i manage to follow all these steps, will the watch be rooted ? Will i be able to still receive all the future updates automatically ? And will i be able to install samsung pay on it ?

Thank you for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hashirajaz94:
The procedure just might work for you but make sure that you will need the combination file for 'BSJ6' along with stock rom 'BSJ6' as the downloadable files attached here are for 4.0.0.6 and you must be on 4.0.0.7, don't just downgrade as you might run into boot loop and might damage your device, I guess you should take some guidance from [MENTION=1017159]tb_[/MENTION] on page 1 of this thread.

Apologies, This is a request for similar information from a post I have in the main forum - but it sounds as though your method may be able to help me as an LTE/4G user.

------------------

I am one of the (now many?) GW LTE (R805F) owners who have purchased their watches from another country within the EU. My watch appears to be from Switzerland and at some point had an active eSIM from Swisscom.

I have tried unsuccessfully to connect the watch to my EE phone and data account and have tried to change the CSC via one of the informative posts here to the UK CSC which appears to have worked but (as from your post) may need some extra work to complete.

So,.... I was originally hoping someone could point me to the correct firmware download for EE UK so that could flash my watch to a stock UK (EE) build

Details of my current firmware below:

AP: R805FXXU1ESD6

CP: R805FXXU1ESD6

CSC: R805FOXA1ESD6

---------------------------------------

Do I need to do the above (Fresh stock UK Firmware) or can I use your method to enable the full functionality of the watch here in the UK with my provider?

Sorry for the lengthy post but I really want to get this working
