Fake being in another country - Bada Software and Hacking General

Can someone please help me to fake being in another country on my S8500. The reason for this is that recently Samsung disabled Samsung Apps in New Zealand with the update of the Samsung Apps application to 1.0.73.

Workaround:
If you use Kies on PC you can "travel" on each Country via PC...
Simple change Store/Country.
If you only use handset. No idea as your Provider/Operator send infos about your country... maybe this is what Samsung Store checks.
IMEI, Operator etc...
Best Regards

it is great build for those SG Tab fans to keep, in case you need to send to service centre but worrying about losing warranty.

it doesnt matter if it has stock apps or not for warranty. I went to SG Samsung service centre last week as i accidently deleted some stock apps which coursed my TAB regularly FC. Samsung checked my rom version only then flashed latest ROM for me.

If its a SGP tab most will have either jj1 or jj2 so should be no problem flashing either one to stock. I'm having the earlier jj1 stock rom before flasing a custom rom.
there is nothing special about this rom i just remove the stock apps from singtel m1 and starhub tat all

in your opinion, if someone bought an TAB from 3rd Party reseller rather than M1, Singtel, Starhub, i.e the TAB does not Teleco Apps, so it does not have warranty or it will be blacklisted if sending to customer service?

3rd party as in?
the ah beng shop?
if u mean the ah beng shop
Sa*sung customer service officer can still check with the CSC, in asia galaxy tab there is this CSC the CSC still have Singtel M1 and Starhub in it
the only CSC without Singtel M1 n Starhub stocks is the XSP(can't really remember the code) which is "Default" from sa*sung itself
reguarding ur question to blacklist and no warranty various to sitituation,
is really up to the Customer service officer to check or not the check the galaxy tab throughtly
that why i say "Do not try ur luck"

I dont know what is Ah beng shot. courts, carrefour, best, etc all selling TAB. Do those TAB have teleco Apps? In your logic, those without Teleco Apps TAB will have no Warranty. So people buying from Courts, Carrefour etc shall have no Warranty, is it?
In your last post, your never mentioned about CSC, now you start to talk about CSC. Can you tell me, will those TABs with right CSC but without Teleco Apps lose warranty?
what is the best radio (modem.bin) for SG? JJ2? thanks.

I mentioned 3rd party shop is those authorise shops.
OK, those shop sold Tab has warranty but no Teleco Apps. Your first ROM is like those without Teleco Apps but with right CSC. How can you say it would lose warranty if using that?

i remove the stock apps from Teleco CSC as i have already mention when i post the ROM for download
"IF AND ONLY IF" they change it to any of the Teleco CSC to check and found out that there is not stock apps, ur done for~~~
they can switch the CSC from the phone itself just by keying in *#272*IMEI#
FYI
if u don't understand CSC, here is how it works
CSC contain stock apps for all asia Teleco and in the CSC itself have many CSC code
Each CSC code represent each Teleco
when the Specific CSC code is loaded it will bring for the Selected Teleco stock apps and Teleco related stuffs
and to actually remove the Stock apps from the Teleco there is 2 way
1. edit the CSC
2. Root and download apps to remove the Teleco Stock apps
So it will revert to and conclude to that u have a edited CSC or Root Galaxy tab which means that ur warranty is VOID
so now is it more clear?

in your earlier post, you never mention "IF AND ONLY IF" they change it to any of the Teleco CSC to check and found out that there is not stock apps, your warranty will be void.
You just imply if flash this ROM and send to customer service, you may lose your warranty.

Ok i forgot

i changed the product code (with psas)from GT-S8500BAAITV to BAAMSR (for my region) but nothing happens. the device can't be updated via kies. Other solution?
So the Fw/CSC/product code combination is valid for the update but no update is available???!!!!!!!!
Maybe you should flash a full bada 1.2 FW to fix this
Sorry i have no other solution for you

How to trick Samsung apps device to use in another country?

Hi guys,
Already asked for help about it, but in wrong place...
Now in the right place i ask:
Exists any way to use Samsung ID from one country and use carrier from another country?
Exemple: UK account with a brazilian carrier.
Note: Already changed firmware and product code to UK – XEU.
Issue: i can’t use UK store, my brazilian sim card (chip) are blocking to use account…
Any way to trick samsung apps checker???
Thanks!
i tried to use Kuwait store by inserting a Kuwait sim into my device!!

Just register another account in Kies and set country you wish. You can install apps via Kies only.
Thanks fellows,
But i already know this features... I really wanna know if as possible to use samsung apps in s8500 device from a different country than carrier!
thanks again!

as changing imei in this country is ilegal mate dont think you,ll get any answers on that question mate think its against forum rules to even talk about it
It's illegal in many countries, for good reason too. OP has no need to change their IMEI just because they got their device in another country. If their network uses the frequencies the phone uses, it will work.

Well if you say so then can you answer my other question?
This is illegal and no need for it, if u want to use ur phone in another country just flash the International unlocked stock rom or ur phone country stock rom, thayeof course if ur phone hardware supports it...

Not in every country. For example in Turkey you have to register your imei(for a fee of course) to work within the country. Imei's of phones sold in the country are registered by importer.

Change the CSC on a .MD5 file

Hey Guys,
The title is pretty self-explanatory, I purchased a Galaxy Watch active from a Hong Kong seller not realising it would stop me from using Samsung Pay. As it is a new model I've only found one copy of the Firmware .MD5 files and the CSC is not the Australian one (which is the country that I live in). Is it possible to change the CSC code and thus the region of the .MD5 file so I can Flash my watch and get it onto the right region and unlock Samsung Pay?
I apologise if this is a stupid or naive question this is all brand new to me and I'm still trying to keep up.

Hey i found this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...r805f-csc-change-howto-esim-rsp-v2-x-t3848292
It should technically work. Let me know if it does please as i have ordered a galaxy watch import as well (HK to Australia) and only just found this out.
EDIT: Also look at this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546689 it should provide the right code for the Australian firmware

Hey, sorry for the delay in reply I was able to simply push the change of the region following this tutorial: https://l.messenger.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fsmartwatch%2Fgear-sport%2Fchanging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324&h=AT3gL1EJTD_LzPupE_pcei82eesT1O0MKpVQZGSgoTro4ovlL9xync975ADDZ67vB2UNTW7C_4dmZ5WRKU3anMSWN8dssfrihNs8SZH3LfhrIVqv-wn2MKbt5fW4K_jCN3hLiObSfgARdyN3SlnrVw no need to fuss about finding the right software or even cracking into the watch it was dead easy and wireless.
Hope this helps!
I've tried the region reset on my SM-R500, but I can't find the Irish (or UK) network providers in the list when doing the reset. I've got a watch that was set to UAE, so I'm guessing that specific firmware doesn't come with Irish regional settings? Any workaround to this? Is it possible to flash a suitable firmware and if so, where would I find the correct firmware?
