I am purchasing a Galaxy Watch Active 2 44mm SM-R820 from overseas, but I am expecting Samsung pay will not work in Australia.
If I wish to change the country to Australia, what is the process? Do I need to download a new firmware?
Some years ago I successfully changed countries on my Gear 3 from German to Australian, but if I remember correctly, I downloaded Australian firmware..
Any comments would help
cheers

Hi Craig, I did the same thing as you and had no idea about watch regions. I managed to switch to Australia region by configuring the firmware. Check this video guide out

Note NetOdin was not able to detect my device even though I was connected to it hotspot in download mode. I used another laptop and it worked. I had enabled 'public network access' on the firewall for NetOdin on both laptops.
Samsung Pay and offline Spotify playlists now work.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
I'm planning to buy a Galaxy Watch in Korea, to use in France, because I'll have the opportunity to buy it for much cheaper over there.
I've read in forums about older Samsung watches that Samsung Pay might be region-locked. Is it true for the Galaxy Watch too? Is there a way to hack it to change the region, and change a Korean watch to a European one?
I think it is eloisant. I have a chinese version bought from Todydeals online and samsung pay is missing. When I press in the back button nothing happens and in settings is says there is no payment softwear installed. Please could someone give me instructions for how to change it to UK version if this is the fix. Cheers
no samsung pay on US version
i have model SM-R820 and haven't been able to find the samsung pay app. I have tried a few things, like updating OS, resetting the phone, but no luck getting app on my Galaxy Active 2 watch. Any ideas?

Hello
I have just had delivery of my new s20 plus in grey which came direct from samsung uk
I have set the phone up and noticed that the firmware is march 2020 with no new updates
I knew the uk btu handset is on may 2020 however my csc shows EUX even set the phone up with a 3 sim ....
I have emailed samsung but wonder if there is any way I can get a BTU CSC for update as even samsung pay won't work
I have downloaded csc app from google and it only shows the one csc and no others .. samsung pay also says coming soon
very disspointed with samsung in fact I am really cheesed off ...
thanks in advance
Take a screen shot of the csc in settings

There you go - I have had some contact with Samsung after I complained but they are being Arsy with me - I have a tab s6 and it’s BTU so don’t know why I have ended up with this CSC and they are two / three firmware versions behind
sorry just noticed its EUX not as I have put .. .
Eux is the European version of the phone and not the UK version. It does have multi csc for BTU so should theoretically read yr UK sim card and ensure all UK services are active. Try a full factory reset. Otherwise ask Samsung for a BTU device.
Has u also looked at sammobile for the most up to date EUX firmware and flashed via odin?
I am returning it to Samsung as they have claimed it’s a UK version and will get updates which is crap because it’s not even on Sam mobile
I only have macs so can’t flash software and don’t really want to start messing with it as Samsung we’re naughty in giving me the handset they did
I’ve got pick up Friday and gonna order off amazon which is showing UK model
I tried factory reset and it still shows same
It only shows the European version available when I’ve gone into the info vi an app off google
Won’t ever buy from Samsung again
Think BTU is Europe and OXM its UK and Ireland

Yes ment XEU is Uk and Ireland.
about EUX :
- it's not the active CSC but boot.carrier id
- you have not reboot your device after first wifi connexion

I need that too, but when I try to install it says is not available in my country.
Hi, maybe it's because of your CSC ?
Is Samsung Pay available on your country? If yes, what's your Watch's CSC ?
I also bought one from Germany and change the CSC to make Samsung Pay working in France (CSC XEF instead of DBT).
I followed this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...nging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324
Hi all,
Just purchased a Vodafone Active 2 44mm 4G (SM-R825FZAKDBT) which I didn't realise was a German model. Obviously there is no Samsung Pay app on the watch as I'm in the UK.
As I got a reasonably good deal on the watch I'd rather not return it but would really like Pay on it as I had this on my Gear S3.
The Vodafone OneNumber eSim part works fine.
What are my options ?
thanks

Just to let you know I followed the steps in the tutorial and everything worked OK. I now have Samsung Pay!
Words are not enough, many many thanks!
Hello, I bought my Samsung active 2 SM-R820 watch from Germany and I need to change its region to France so I can use Samsung pay, I've read here the tutorial about how to change the region but I'm not sure which firmware should I use for France, so can anyone help me, please?
SM-R820
software version : R820XXU1EUK2
May it is not possible for change your region,cause I've bought a same watch from Perh and I brought it to China.
Meanwhile,I can't use that function like blood pressure and ECG,which in China are not allowed
