SM-R8050 Change region? - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Hi, tell me if my idea is correct. After checking the firmware from sm-r8050, sm-r805f, sm-r805u and sm-r805w in the csc part, the pin in all the firmware is identical except for the signature at the end of the file, the signatures in all the firmware files for example always start in the same longwords linked to a specific model. I so understand from for this signature under firmware csc from another podeli not accepted. The idea is to unpack CSC. tar. md5 and add a folder with the region I need from another model to CSC. img native firmware by editing it SW_Configuration.xml. After that, flash the native COMBINATION-FT40 with a modified csc file and then fill in the native firmware forgetting about updates in the future but getting a working esim and samsung pay. The question is if I do all the above, will I get Knox 0x1? Sorry for my English.

Problem updating T700 to 5.0.2

Ok.... Crazy Situation here.
I can not update from 4.2.2. When I try to update I get 'Registration Failed' message right before the update should start. I did register this tablet with my account @ samsung, but no joy.
Here is the backstory on this: My S 8.4 battery connector broke and I got a used main-board off ebay. I replaced it, did a factory reset, and I got 4.2.2 working. However no lollipop. I checked the codes on this 'new' tab:
Country is: France/FR
Original CSC Code: AUT
Firmware CSC Code: MKT
Active CSC Code: MKT
Current Firmware as reported by Kies: T700XXU0ANE3/T700MKT0ANE3/T700XXU0ANE3/T700XXU0ANE3 (MKT)
Yes, all one line.
I'm in USA and I'm hoping to get to the correct firmware.
I want to use odin to update to 5.0.2, but just want to make sure I can use this rom:
Product code XAR
PDA T700XXU1BOK1
CSC T700XAR1BOK1
Is this my ticket out of this problem?
Thanks

You should be just fine flashing T700XXU1BOK1 with Odin. I've installed other region firmwares before without issue.
EDIT: If you'd prefer the French region though, go here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647) and use the software provided to download whichever firmware you need or want. Just enter the PDA and CSC into the appropriate fields.
Thanks noxarcana.
I was hoping that this would do it. BTW: Nice little tool you linked to!
From what I read the CSC codes now come from inside the ROM, so once I go with T700XXU1BOK1, I will get USA region? Just want to make sure.
And this update WILL wipe everything out, right?
Did anybody try IronMan ROM for T700? http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/stock-tw-rom-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-t2995235
How does this MOD deal with the country codes? Would it be USA?
Thanks
So, I thought I had replied to this but apparently I my mind lied to me. Yes, if you flash BOK1, you will be using the US region (also known as Cellular South...for some reason).
IronRom is one of my top 3 roms for this device! Since it is a custom rom though, you don't have to worry about CSC and PDA codes. Just make sure you get the correct zip file for your device (ie: T700, 5T800, etc.).

What happens if I don't flash the CSC file through Odin?

Would not flashing the CSC mean that I have a stock ROM without any AT&T bloatware on the phone? Or am I completely misunderstanding the importance of the CSC file?
I live outside the US and so I don't need anything specific for AT&T on my S7 Active.
EDIT: To clarify, I would be flashing the AP, BL and CP files through Odin, downloaded from this post because I can't get OTA updates outside of the USA.

My best guess is that at worst you'd make the phone not bootable and you'd need to reflash with Odin and at best your phone would work but with the previous CSC image. It already has one in it and it won't go away so by not flashing you're just leaving the older one in place. I don't think there's any possible gain for you by not flashing it.
I didn't flash the BL file and now my phone says no sim card inserted what should i do?

Flashing Android 9 firmware for Galaxy Tab S4 (SM-T830)

Hello,
I am trying to flash the newest XEF (France) SM-T830 firmware to by XEZ (Czech Republic) Tab S4 SM-T830 device, and I need a specific, fool-prood advice on how to configure the ODIN. I have done the following so far:
- Downloaded the firmware via Frija, the filename is SM-T830_1_20190409132827_lu4c5n9rxi_fac.zip
- Downloaded the latest unmodded Odin (v. 3.13.2), if I need other version, please advice which one.
- Unpacked the firmware zip archive, it contains the following four files:
AP_T830XXU2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT_meta_OS9.tar.md5
BL_T830XXU2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_OMC_OXM_T830OXM2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_T830OXM2BSD1_CL15659493_QB23022378_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
The default enabled options enabled in Odin are: Autoreboot and F. Reset Time, default disabled Odin options are Nand Erase, Repartition, Flashlock (DeviceInfo is greyed out).
My questions are:
1) What files go to which ODIN config fields (BL, AP, CP, CSC, USERDATA)? BL and AP are obvious, but the rest is not.
2) Which options should be enabled and which disabled? Is it okay to leave the default ones as described above?
3) Is there anything I should know or be wary of before starting the process?
Thank you for any relevant information in advance. Please don't bother with lectures or insults, I am interested only in constructive, helpful advice that will safely guide me through the process. I am not aspiring to be an Android hacker, I just want to flash this one firmware one time.

Leave odin settings how they are. AP to AP BL to BL CP is not needed it's for LTE models and CSC will wipe your device HOME CSC will keep the data.

I used frija download and then unzipped it, only used ap, bl, csc (home csc may be used to keep data, but I always start fresh) and then I let the patched Odin do its thing walked away 10 minutes later

I used Frija to download and had no issues. Don't use a modded Odin i used the regular 3.13.1 and it worked the first time.
I used 3.13.3 and it worked perfect the first time.

Stock firmware for Active2 XSG (UAE)

Hi there! I was trying to change region on my Active2 from XSG to SER, but after installing CSC for my R820 I ended up on endless loading.. So now I am looking for stock firmware for XSG (UAE). Where I can find it or buy it? Thanks!
Are you able to unpack/extract files with Tool 7Zip?
Because XSG is inside OXA package... means in all leaked SM-R820 FirmwareS.
IMHO something else wrong...
Maybe start from scratch...
What you did and which Files you used?
Filenames usefull to understand what you did...
Best Regards
Hi adfree, thanks for the answer!
Yes, I can unpack files with 7Zip.
First of all, I updated the firmware to 5.5.0.2 and got version R820XXU1DUA7.
Made full reset on the watches.
After that, I downloaded the necessary files to change the region to my PC.
I have booted the watch into wireless download mode.
I connected to the watch via Wi-Fi from PC.
In the AP, I selected the COMBINATION-FT40_R820XXU1ASI2.tar file and flashed it.
After that, I made a reset in netOdin, and added the file CSC_OXA_R820OXA1ASHF_usr.tar to CSC and flashed it.
After that, I tried to boot into recovery mode, but something went wrong: there was an endless loading with text "SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch Active2".
I realized that I had made a mistake because of Tizen version. I again booted the watch into wireless download mode and through netOdinflashed all 3 files from smR820XXU1ASHF (AP, BL, CSC). (downgraded to 4.0.0.6)
After that, I again flashed the AP combinative firmware COMBINATION-FT40_R820XXU1ASI2.tar, then again the CSC CSC_OXA_R820OXA1ASHF_usr.tar.
And again I got an endless download.
After that I tried many different firmwares, but none of them resulted in booting in recovery mode after combinative firmware.
After all I installed R820XXU1CTI4 AP_R820XXU1CTI4_usr.tar + BL_R820XXU1CTI4_usr.tar + CSC_OUA_R820OUA1CTI4_usr.tar. Now I can't even update the Tizen version, because after the update, when watches is loaded, it gives me a notification "Couldn't update software. Try again later"
I will be insanely grateful to you if you help me
And one more question. When I start Spay, it says "Your watch was modified and can't access Samsung Pay". Does it means I will be never able to access spay?
Maybe, if I will flash stock firmware for XSG R820XXU1DUA7 all of my problems will gone? I think update is not installing because watches trying to install R820XXU1DUA3 update, but for XSG region I need R820XXU1DUA7? Thats why I'm searching for R820XXU1DUA7
I think u need to downgrade to tizen 4 before u can change region

Hi! Thanks for the answer!
As I said before, when I realized my fail with Tizen version, I have installed smR820XXU1ASHF it is 4.0.0.6 and after installed combinated firmware COMBINATION-FT40_R820XXU1ASI2.tar and again CSC CSC_OXA_R820OXA1ASHF_usr.tar. And still doesnt work, endless loading with text "SAMSUNG Galaxy Watch Active2"

Stock Firmware for Samsung Note 10+

I'm using Samsung Note 10+
Model number SCV45, a Japanese variant with a name tag "au" & has the Snapdragon processor, not Exynos.
I want to flash the stock Firmware again.
I have visited SamMobile website to download the firmware of Note 10+. But there are lots of model number available like -
SM-N975F
SM-N975U
SM-N975U1
SM-N975W
SM-N9760
SM-N976B
SM-N976N
SM-N976Q.... so on.
But i didn't found "SCV45" model number.
As far as I know, SM-N975U, SM-N975U1 is for USA region with Snapdragon variant & SM-N975W is for canda region, also with Snapdragon.
If I flash any of the firmware of USA or Canada variant on my Japanese variant device through Odin, is there will be a problem. I have no idea about that as I'm a new user of Samsung. I have always used OnePlus. So I don't have enough knowledge about Samsung firmware.
Please let me know about the fact.

Thanks a lot brother.
But actually, I want to try out US region firmware on my device. So I'm asking, is there any problem if I flashed
SM-N975U or SM-N975U1 firmware? What will happen if I do so?
I need a clear idea about that, because I don't have enough knowledge about Samsung firmware & also I don't want my device turn into a bricked device.
Hope, I will get a clear idea from this XDA forum about that.
maybe your device is rooted or there is a mixed firmware so coming back to original firmware is not without risk
can you post :
- device version:
on dialer : *#1234# or *#12580*369#
Here is the Device Version that you want
Actually today I tried to add a edu mail account on google and it's showing that "Can't create a working profile, here is what error message I got.
I have checked, I don't have root access. And I also running stock Firmware as I got OTA update from Samsung for One UI. So I don't know what is the actual problem. That's why I want to shift from current firmware to USA region firmware.
But I am in a doubt as I don't have enough knowledge about that.
you can't flash a N970U or U1 full firmware
maybe only the CSC part if it work but at your own risk
I believe you can try to flash some completely other version, but no one can be sure if it will work.
I would suggest to have a spare Japan OFW to reflash if anything goes wrong.
Your latest FW according to samfirm should be -> SCV45 -> Region KDI
Version: SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45QDI1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3/SCV45KDU1DVC3

I know it's hard to find someone who has tried out what I asked for. I don't know whether it will work or not. But I just want to make sure that after flashing a different region firmware, it should not become a hard brick device.
If something goes wrong, at least I flash the SCV45, Japan variant firmware again & everything turns to a normal state as it is running now.
So should I proceed with SM-N975U, USA variant firmware? Will it gonna make my device hard brick? Can I come back to normal state by flashing SCV45 KDI firmware which is mentioned by you?

and also, dont forget to flash the "CSC" file, not the "home_CSC" to change the region. (the home_CSC doesn't change CSC and leaves your apps and other stuff intact. On the other hand, the CSC file wipes everything and changes the region.)

I am too much grateful to brother for your suggestions what I actually expected for.
I will follow all your instructions.
I will flash the "CSC" file only. Thanks for let me clear about this thing.
I have just a little confusion about what you have told above.
You suggest me not to flash bootloader. Can you please give me a clear idea how can I skip it or at what step, I should not flash the bootloader? I have just this confusion.

Well... You have to flash through ODIN.
So. In the ODIN you have several options on what to do (what to flash). When you download the FIRMWARE you will have to decompress it. there will be different files -> BL (Bootloader - BL), PDA (the firmware - AP), PHONE (modem and stuff - CP) and CSC (vendor or region specific info).
Firstly I would try to flash only AP + CP + CSC. Which means Firmware + Phone + CSC. Be sure to flash the same version of Android as you have. In that case it should... maybe... probably work the same. If you have bootloader from Android 11 and you try to flash Android 11 from another version, it should work theoretically....
But if you try to flash eg. Android 12 over Android 11 it won't work because the Android 12 uses different bootloader and you need to update it.
It would be most desired to flash the bootloader also. But my suggestion for you is to try flash different version without the bootloader (if it can be done). Because if you don't screw up the bootloader, you will be always able to boot to bootloader a flash back the original firmware.
I don't have the knowledge to tell you, that if you flash USA version of bootloader to the JAPAN version of bootloader that it will work. It probably should, but I believe, noone can answer that and it's just that you will have to try it.
I believe that the ODIN will tell you that you are trying to flash firmware from completely different device and if you are sure to do that.
So again:
1) download firmware from different location with the same android version
2) decompress the firmware
3) in the ODIN -> add only AP, CP, CSC (don't add the bootloader)
4) try to flash!
If it doesn't work, you can try even to flash the bootloader, but I'm a bit worried about that one....
I am highly grateful to you as you have explained the whole thing so clearly. Now I understand all the steps that I need to do. Thank you so much for clearing up the matter in so much detail. Now I can proceed.
I will try as per your suggestion. Let's see what happened.
Thanks again.

Then what should I do?
before flashing a part of firmware , i think it's better to know more about root
i'm not familiar with root and my lastest rooted device is a galaxy S6
why do you want to change the firmware ?

I have checked and I don't have any root access. I have told you why I actually want to change the firmware in some previous reply.
Here I am mentioning the whole problem again for your better knowledge.
Actually yesterday, I tried to add an edu mail account on google and it's showing that "Can't create a working profile", here is what error message I got.
I am running on stock official Firmware, I confirmed that as I got OTA update from Samsung for One UI. So I'm not using any custom OS.
But I don't know why it's showing that I am using a custom OS . That's why I want to shift from current firmware to USA region firmware to check whether the Japanese region firmware has issue or not.
But I am in a doubt as I don't have enough knowledge about switching from one region to another region firmware in Samsung devices.
I hope you can understand, though my English is not great
