Hi All,
I've been following this prodigious forum for a long time, and, like many of us, i'm trying to change the default CSC of my galaxy watch 42 LTE.
I followed the procedure via SBD, formally it was successful, but like many of us, the watch did not show the list of countries.
So... this is the idea:
downgrade to first firmware via NetODIN (should be R815FXXU1CRK7), than use the SBD procedure in order to select my CSC (that should go on first firmware) then I proceed via OTA to update the latest available firmware.
This is my actual watch configuration:
AP: R815FXXU1FSL3
CP: R815FXXU1FSL3
CSC: R815FOXA1FSL3
Stock firmware I'm searching for: R815FXXU1CRK7
Should be a Europe free operatore device from DBT, desire to switch to ITV.
... and this is the issue:
I tried quite a lot but I still haven't been able to find the first firmware with which the watch was born, also on the XDA forum, but for the R815F version there doesn't seem to be my specific firmware ... could you help me?
In your opinion could it work this solution? Thanks for the contributions, so as to help the many of us who have the 42 LTE - R815F version.
Thank you,
Strategia
I dig up the subject, I have the same model and in 2 years I only received an update, I live in France but I received it with the csc oxa. I have the exact same firmware as you. And I never received an update.

No But the answer is!
I'll try to keep it short as we already have a thread on what all noticeable has changed etc.
1: Upgrade or Not as of now is more of a subjective thing. What I may find might better/worse might be completely opposite for you, as a lot of minor things have changed. Given that most will succumb to some form of an update and have to accept what is made available to them at the time, it seems like updating should be perhaps a good enough consideration, however, check your region and firmware on sammobile.
I would advise against updating unless applicable firmware version for your region ends with MI1/MI2 or above (MJ1,MJ2..,MK1, ..) (I/J/K denote build months, in this case being september/october/november resp). There are noted issues across different region with older 4.2.2 firmwares. Mainly S-pen and Magnetic cover issues (alarm) which again may or may not be of any consequence to you.
Q2:. Why didn't you get an OTA? :
2.1: Is your Device factory Stock?.
2.2: Might have to do with that samsung has not released updates for your device region yet and perhaps also look into settings if auto OTA Updates are enabled.
I have updated my Note 8 today manually because it has not been available neither via OTA nor via KIES - a quick check on SAMMOBILE shows no 4.2.2 version published for my region. Therefore I decided to push manually the latest 4.2.2 XX version (XX in the name of the ROM means that it is for Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom).
Note that it is the third 4.2.2 XX release which I hope is good enough. Samsung has released 4.2.2 versions for a few other regions too dealing with the reported problems. I am not aware of any strict schedule region by region - it means that you may wait quite long for your regional version. Therefore I replaced my XE version (Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine) with the available XX one.
The update went smoothly even on my encrypted Note 8 and at first glance everything is running fine, every setup and data is preserved. The first thing I noticed was the "flatter" color palette as most of the contemporary changes in the colors. I do not see change in the performance, neither the sound quality for example...
There are some minor improvements in the 4.2.2 user interface which I was missing in 4.1.2 and they were the second driver for the upgrade. The main was the sheer curiosity .
So, it is really up to you whether you will go for your manual update

Hi experts,
I bought a used S9 (SM-G960F) a few months ago from Pakistan. Phone is un-locked and was manufactured in YATELEY, UK. This phone never receives any OTA updates. When I manually check for updates, it says that latest updates have already been installed. I checked on a sammobile, there are quite a few updates available there.
I am not sure what kind of firmware or CSC modifications were done to this device before I bought it (I am sorry but I am still a noob when it comes to android, so please help). I did however check with Phone INFO app, the device is not rooted. In settings it also says that it is official and knox warranty void is 0x0.
Can I flash a firmware for my current country (Pakistan) using Odin?
For example this one: PDA G960FXXU2CSA2 and CSC G960FOXM2CSA2.
Or should I use UK BTU firmware? In that case would I have to unlock the phone by using UK SIM before being able to use it in Pakistan?
My Phone INFO:
Firmware:
Bootloader: G960FXXU2BRGA
PDA: G960FXXU2BRGA
CSC: G960FOXM2BRGA
Baseband: G960FXXU2BRG8CSC code:
Product code: SM-G960FZPAPAK
Original CSC code:
Firmware's CSC code:
Active CSC code: PAK
Available CSC codes:
CSC country: Pakistan / PK
My apologies if my question is very basic or has been answered before. I've been reading forums but found nothing satisfactory. Please guide.
Hi guys,
First post, so please let me off if I haven't followed protocol properly. I have been looking at all the other threads and posts and I have come to the conclusion that this is possible, but I need some guidance:
Bought the watch second hand. Samsung Pay isn't available. Samsung Tech help believe the watch isn't from the UK. I also believe this to be true, as when it is reset, the first language to appear is German, before it syncs with the phone and changes to English.
So I would like to change the region from Germany to England to get Samsung Pay enabled.
I have downloaded NetOdin3
I am capable of connecting to the watch in boot mode through wireless.
I have downloaded the combination firmware and stock firmware from https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm.../samsung-galaxy-watch-mactive-2-gwa2-t3968437 where adfree posted the links.
This is where I am stuck. I am unsure if these are the right files for the UK, because that thread was to change it from Germany to "ser"
From what I've read I need to change some text in the combination firmware, but how do I do this, in NetOdin3? or some other program.
Secondly what do I need to change it from and to? I understand its to get the region from Germany to UK, but what is the region code for the UK?
I appreciate I am a total beginner and have probably just asked some real basic questions, however after reading the thread about the guy who flashed his 820 with 830 firmware and bricked it, I'm a little more worried about getting something wrong.
Cheers in advance
You have to change from DBT to BTU..BTU is UK CSC.
Best regards

OK, thanks.
So do I need to edit the files that @adfree linked in SDP?
or are those files ready to go and do I need to edit some files off the watch somehow?
Cheers

Hi,
I got SGWA1 SM-R500 already with the following SW versions:
Tizen 4.0.0.7
One UI 1.5
SW: R500XXU1DSL1 / SM-R500NZDAXEZ
Knox: 2.4.0
SE for Tizen: 2.0.0

I searched a lot in this forum for the last 3 days but wasn't able to find all answers I'm searching for. So I would really appreciate if someone can give me a complete set of answers:
I want to use Samsung Pay, which is not available in my region - the Czech Republic. I understood that I need to change the region and probably it will be more complicated because of newest firmware version.
So:
What is the best region for the most up-to-date FW version with possibly all functionality. XAR-USA?
How do I do it? How do I change my region? Downgrade to ASAD version or trying to fiddle with "combination FW"?
Is there a way how to change the region but still receive future OTA or once I flash the firmware with Odin, there is no way back to OTA?
PLEASE, if possible try to describe all steps as detailed as possible.
Thanks a lot, this forum and people here are truly giving our devices superpowers!
I am interested too, how to change region on 4.0.0.7?
I have a little problem with my active 1 after the battery change there was an automatic update in which in the middle of the process the battery ran out and I entered the booting mode and did the recovery then my watch is out of firmware can someone help me please
Hi guys!
I want to change the region to my active 2 LTE from US to Mexico so that I can use my Mexican carrier. I got it thinking it was globally unlocked but it looks like it's locked to the US.
I've seen some tutorials but they are for older versions (Tizen 4). This watch is on Tizen 5.5.0.1.
Can anyone please help me out with this?
Thank you very much
Looks like Mexico is OWO Region package... with CSC:
TCE
Step 1.
We need Combination Firmware...
Attached is slightly "modified"... only removed folder + 1 file...
Step 2.
We need OWO package of SM-R835F...
Best Regards
