I’ve seen and searched countless posts here, some relevant, some not so much.. I just purchased the R800, international version. I successfully downgraded to Tizen 4.0.0.1, wanting to change my CSC since I’m in the US. I’m getting hung up on the
Code:
launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration
section for the watch to launch a option to change CSC. Nothing happens. On the cmd line it fails.
My question is, is this only specific to Tizen 4.0.0.4?
Also, can’t you flash the CSC for US in NetOdin?
Thanks for any help!

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.).

Hi there,
my G20 5G (Europe) doesn't find any updates after security level September, and that's been going on for some time. It's not a branded version, so I think I'll need to update manually. Now I haven't manually flashed anything since my old Nexus 5 and have never flashed anything with Odin.
Could anyone point me to the correct OTA-file and instructions how to flash OTA-files without wiping the phone? With the myriad of options I'm not sure which file to get for my specific model.
This is my phone info:
Modelnumber: SM-G981B/DS
Buildnumber: QP1A.190711.020.G981BXXU4BTIB
Basebandversion: G981BXXU4BTIO
//edit:
ok, i found about CSC and stuff, I'm on a T-Mobile software and they are the reason I don't get security updates in time.
Case closed for me, will look in to samkey.
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

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"

Thanks adfree for idea! I've searched for new files and flashed 5.5 combinated firmware and all works fine! Thread can be closed. Thank you a lot!
Hi.
I was brought a Samsung watch by a relative overseas (SM-R850). However, I'd like to change the CSC to my native country (UK).
I understand this entails flashing the firmware, which I have no problem with doing, however is there an online guide on how to do this. Files required / where to get them (if not the easy firmware site) etc? I've used odin once before - but that seems a long time ago!
Many thanks
Hi, guys, I'm a bit new to this, but I would like to change the CSC from THL (Thailand) to ZTO (Brazil) on my Z Fold 4 using SamFw, as it seems simple enough as just clicking a few buttons, but I have a few questions:
1. ZTO is not on the list of CSCs it reads from the device, is it safe to proceed?
2. Will it trip knox? Will i still be able to use google wallet/pay? WIll i receive OTA updates?
3. Am i missing something or is it as simple as that for Samfw? Should I do anything else?
Thank you very much!
Hi Rodrigo, I believe I can answer a couple of your questions with the experience of changing CSC on my Fold 3 with Android 13 and one UI 5.0 from EUX to INU.
2. Will it trip knox? Will i still be able to use google wallet/pay? WIll i receive OTA updates?
No, it wont trip knox. Yes, you can still use Gpay. I am yet to check/receive OTAs. will update once I receive one.
3. Am i missing something or is it as simple as that for Samfw? Should I do anything else?
Its pretty simple and straight forward. Doesn't require any factory reset or wiping cache partition. Just connect the phone to a computer with your phone drivers installed, enable usb debugging in developer options and open the test mode with *#0*# and get to ADB tab -> select CSC Change -> select the desired CSC from the list of displayed CSCs which your phone model supports. Phone just restarts after this and u have ur phone with the new CSC n related content.
