SM-R820 Galaxy watch active 2: questions about changing region and consequences - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Hi everyone,
I have a Gwa 2 (SM-R820, Tizen 4.0.0.6, R820XXU1BTA1) and I want to change region from Portugal to Italy.
I've read this post but the links to get NetOdin and SDBStarterKidv1 aren't avaible anymore. Any help?
Also, the tutorial is about a R825 and I have R820. Where do I get the right Combination Firmware?
(I've found this video, is the CF showed right for my smartwatch?)
2 other questions:
1 I've the warranty still active. If i'll ever get a problem with my smartwatch regardless of what I'll do here, I'll be still able to reset to the "original status" so to get assistance from Samsung Assistence?
2 If everything works, my smartwatch will still get updates?
Thanks for everyone who will be able to help me :fingers-crossed:

Roms and Kernels

Does anyone know if the galaxy watch can flash roms and have custom OS's like on previous generations? Can it use roms made for the gear s3? What are your thoughts on the default rom with tizen 4.0? What would you want from any custom rom?
Let's start a discussion on this topic!
I am pretty sure roms from the gear s3 will not work. Also why would someone Flash an old rom on a new watch? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Source Code is here:

I was just wondering whether or not they would be similar. I've seen a phone before that could run a rom from another phone, that's why I was asking. Didn't expect much tbh
Hi all. Can anyone help me with a odin files for the first software of this watch. I am have the next problem:
Hello! Since the new software update earlier this week I am having a problem with my screen brightness setting which I have set at 8. When my watch goes into AOD mode, after the 15 second screen timeout, and then when the screen goes back on again the brightness setting is down to 3. Then I change it back to 8, the screen goes into AOD, and when the screen goes back on it is down to 3 again. Every time. Never had a problem like this before the recent software update, or on my Gear S3 for years. I turned the watch off for a few hours, and then turned it back on, but the problem persists. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks!!!
Please can anyone hrlp me with the idin files plss

Hello Adfree.
Nice video btw. Thanks for that.
I have the exact same issue like Alejandro in the video, and the exact same model: SM-810X.
Is there any way you can provide me with the rom files for this model? I would like to give it a try, and flash the files, rather keep it in the drawer...
Much appreciated any help.
Cheers!

Can I change Region

Hello I just bought Galaxy watch and I believe it was manufactured in Saudi arabia. I'm missing some apps such as spotify and galaxy app of my phone is in arabic and I can't seem to change that.
Is there a way for me to switch the region of my watch to something like USA so that I could install Spotify. and I know this isn't related but how do I change the region on Galaxy Wearable ? when I acess galaxy apps from it everything is in arabic which is really annoying.
Thank you !
Are you able to identify your exact Watch Model Name?
Example...
SM-R800 or SM-R810 or SM-R815F or...
Best Regards
Model: SM-R800
Serial No : R5AKA0NGARA
Tizen version: 4.0.0.1
Software version R800XXU1BRJ4
and it's the 46mm version
I hope that's helpfull
You can change to XAR, this is the CSC/Sales Code for USA...
With Tool SDB...

quick quiestion. if I go through with this and reset my watch. will the region go back to what it was ?

This is not temporary... this is static...
To Reset to "default" you have to know your CSC/Sales Code... and go the same way to choose it...
So I suggest first... identify your active CSC...
Code:
launch_app csc-manager.csc-[B]verifier[/B]
Then NEXT step to change...
Best Regards
Thank you so much. Last couple of questions. excuse my noob tech skills :silly:
but will this void my warranty ( as far as I understand I can switch back csc to what it was and they won't notice I changed that). and will I still get future updates or is this process is similar to rooting on android phones
again.. I'm noob at this
excuse my noob tech skills

NO problem.
Please remember thes tiny hints...
A
I am User... not Samsung Seller nor in any other kind married with Samsung...
B
What ever you see CSC/Sales Code related... is "against" Samsung policy/rules crap...
Otherwise they would give you official instruction.
C
CSC/Sales Code aka region lock/crap Branding Warranty Tales...
Serial Number detects Original Factory CSC...
This is why they ask you about Serial Number...
D
OWN RISK
What ever I say/write...
and if you fail...
You can never say... but adfree told...
Please choose wisely...
Or ask Samsung and/or your Seller...

Hi There: Is this procedure still possible - I`m from Germany and we over here can`t use Samsung pay - will it be possible to use S pay after changing the region ???
AND what will happen with the sim card - will it still be in Germany - silly question...
How can I know which region my watch is set on? I'm from Mexico and I can not use samsung pay, the model of my watch is SM-R800. regards

HELP ME PLEASE
Look into this Thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/sm-r825f-csc-change-tutorial-t4061905
The good news for you...
You need only OXA Region files... IMHO allready posted...
DBT and XEF is inside OXA package...
Best Regards
Thank you
I have to start at step19 #?
Please remember I have NO Crystal Ball.
But I am little bit scared why you want start with SDB...
IMHO short summary...
A
netOdin Action to flash Combination firmware to have ROOT access
B
If still alive...
SDB Action...
SDB is similar to ADB from Android world...
C
netOdin Action again...
This time with Stock Firmware
Best Regards
OK do you have a link to download netodin for tizen please ?
Why are you afraid that I will start directly with SDB?
Best regards
netOdin:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73503787&postcount=150
SDB Tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330
Best Regards
thank you very much but i don't know why but odin can't watch with the watch
I cannot validate the change of csc its put an error which says that the files and in lettering only in SDB command
Maybe you know my English skills are limited... and I still have NO Crystal Ball.
So i can not smell nor see what kind of Problems you see.
I only see 2 Tools inside 1 post.
I mean it is impossible to me. If step 1 is flash 1 file with netOdin...
Please if you expect any kind of help. Give FULL details what you see on your screen...
Best "magic" is Screenshot.
Best Regards
Example what I have expected...
It is possible to take this Combination Firmware now for SM-R825F and SM-R825U:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82843303&postcount=61
Friendly user confirmed it work:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82843789&postcount=62
This would be step 1...
Btw... few weeks ago I helped user from XEF to DBT with his SM-R825F... successfully.
So it is no Rocket Science. :angel:
Best Regards
hello I understood the procedure now and I found a video that explains well I have a problem with the COMBINATION-FT40_R825USQU1ASL2.tar which failed at the end so I rebooted with that the AP, BL, CSC R825FXXU1ASI7_Tizen no problem . So I don't understand why the COMBINATION-FT40_R825USQU1ASL2.tar failed
IMHO I wrote few times in the other Thread, why "failed"...
IGNORE Error, if Watch booting proper to Firmware...
Reason is additional file/folder...
Code:
meta-data/1.mf
Btw, this is why I have removed this... and posted...
Now you can proceed with SDB...
Please try to read Instructions... IMHO all hints given how to do...
Good Luck.
Best Regards
Okay so despite the failed and the watch that does not restart I restart the watch myself and proceed to change CSC via sbd.?
Best regards
Yes.
If nothing exploded and Watch boot into Tizen OS... so you can click around and find your IP address after connecting to WiFi...
Feel free to click around this thread... you are not the only one... not the first and maybe not the last... here for instance Screenshot of netOdin:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82347797&postcount=32
IMHO only to need reading twice... or maybe more then 2 times or 3 or again.
Nearly all problems allready described in this thread... IMHO.
Best Regards
@xXMorph3Xx
Hello thank you for your answer on the other hand I do not understand how to use the file so you gave me the link to put it in netodin because it is not a .Tar but several files when you unzip this one, I am really sorry
best regards

Click to collapse
Sometimes I have the feeling you are kidding me...
Yes I know, few unpackers seems also unpack the included TAR in 1 Step... sorry for this... but...
This is what I thought you manage:
Code:
ownRISK-FT40_R825USQU1ASL2_repair_v1.[B]tar[/B]
This TAR file is inside this 7Zip package:
Code:
ownRISK-FT40_R825USQU1ASL2_repair_v1.[B]7z[/B]
Differnce to the other files, I was toooo lazy to created the MD5 Hash,,,
So maybe better you use the allready known Combination Firmware... because MD5 is good for Selfcheck...
Hello I have a R825F
AP R825FXXU1ATD1
CP R825FXXU1ATD1
CSC R825FOXA1ATD1
and the combination file FT40_R825USQU1ASL2.tar does not work Netodin fail at the end and when I restart the watch an error message appears about the nfc and I cannot do anything except reboot on the stock firmware R825FXXU1ASI7 tizen 4 files and return after an OTA update on
AP R825FXXU1ATD1
CP R825FXXU1ATD1
CSC R825FOXA1ATD1
please help me my watch is in German CSC and I would like to put it in CSC XEF
Best regards
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Simple do this again...
This time full focus on make Photo...
...when I restart the watch an error message appears about the nfc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Remember not me nor others have Crystal Ball...
And IMHO I have the feeling you are in Combination Firmware... so you have only focus on the next steps...
Good news for you.
Last time I post... BEFORE you not post Photo from Error... I will NOT post again.
Good Luck.
This is NO Rocket Science.
Like in School... read instruction, follow instruction...

Hi adfree ! Would that apply to me?
Excuse me for my English but I speak very little (which makes my understanding more difficult). I speak spanish.
Short version: I´m in Argentina with an Active 2 SM-825U (Tizen 5.5.0.2 / Build Number: R825USQU1CUD1 ) that cannot see the movil network.
Company says I should have bought SM-825 ( without U , my fault ) but confused me saying american models. After my bought said Mexico and Canada models )
My Questions:
1- What must I specific do ? Can I fix that only changing the CSC code to ARO , MXO or XAC ?
I not finding or not knowing what combination files I must use.
Don´t match last 4 characters: https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=47818
2- I´d be interested to know if I can use SM-R820 or SM-R825 combination files or would that kill the watch ?
I´ve reached to establish communication between the watch and NetOdin but I´ve stopped there for not knowing the above.
From already, thank you very much ! Sincerely.... Eduardo.

Does someone have link to firmware R820XXU1BTD3 for galaxy watch active 2 44mm R820 ?

Yeah, I saw it was about 3 bucks, not much, but those sites were, how should I put it, debatable.
I need this file cuz my watch won't detect any new firmware, I am stuck on bta1, beside Samsung support said that for my particular piece should be an update available, reset didn't do the trick.
also stick in bta1

Galaxy watch active R500 CSC

Hello! sorry for another thread about this but I couldn't find any thread updated about this, most of them are quite old and the links are not working (probably because is the active 1).
I have a Galaxy watch active 1 with Tizen 4.0.0.7 - R500XXU1DLS1
As I said most of the links to download the firmware are not valid anymore and the only one I found was this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603915888
I don't know if this version is a good one for downgrade and change the CSC to PHE... if not, can someone provide a different one?
Another thing that I don't understand is why in some threads people flash the watch with the "combination" firmware and in other threads, they change the CSC just with an old stock firmware.
Also, one question that I have (because I found different answers) is what happened with the OTA updates after the downgrade and change the CSC. Some people say that they downgrade, change the CSC and update via OTA to 4.0.0.7 again and some others say that they couldn't update anymore.
Thank you!
Nobody can help here? I think even if it is for Galaxy Active 1 is an interesting topic. Here we have other post related to the same questions and without answers:
