Why the Combination File on GW3 ? - Samsung Galaxy Watch

I have already asked on the subforum of the watch3, unfortunately unanswered, forgive me if I repeat the question:
But what is the use of combination files for? Why do i have to go through the sdb? I can not flash an original firmware with an appropriate csc without the use of the sdb, like "old school samsung" ? what are the contraindications?

Maybe you can answer self...
Samsu.g increased Security against your Goal(s)...
No idea what your goal is.
But Samsung stronger stronger more Knox crap.. restriction bla Country Lock stupid Region Check bla crap.
Nobody force you to flash something or to use Tools against Samsu.gs Policy crap.
Tiny hints for you...
A
Search Buttons or Google...
Also Youtube can show cool Videos ...
B
No idea yet.
But I can remember your other post... but it is still not clear why you ask?
You wish to change CSC?

I would like to change region (csc), unless I could not buy a watch already OXA.
But I didn't understand why I had to use combination files if once to change region it was enough to flash the correct file.
Now if I understand correctly, Combination file use to avoid raising the Knox counter becuase samsung has raised the security levels even in the region change.
I had already tried to google thoroughly but never understood the real intentions of using combinations

I try to be clearer
Forgive me for the confusion
i have understand the the guide and how to change files.
My question was why do I need to use sdb and push and pull the prodcode & csc-active-customer instead of flashing AP-CSC-BL-CP like the old galaxy?
is it to prevent knox counter from going up or for other reasons?

I always get "connection timed out 110" error in AP mode. What to do?

Cannot install beta apps

On two occasions it has happened to me that the developers send me a link of their beta application to be able to install it on my watch, and it always fails. Since I don't have a Samsung phone, I don't have the Galaxy store app directly installed, but rather I have it installed through the Galaxy watch plugin and I think that's the reason, because it tells me that I have to update the Galaxy store but I can't do it. someone who can help please?attached video

I have only Samsung handsets...
Never tried other handset... from other Manufacturer.
You play with "Deep Link"... which calls Samsung App app crap...
This is not really Security... it is more Kindergarten...
All you could try... at the moment:
A
If this funny pop up came out... with "first step upgrade your Galaxy Store to the latest Version"
Try to tap around... in gray or other parts of your Display... NOT inside the white Window nor OK nor Cancel...
Start at upper corner...
Few Versions of funny Galaktik Joke App can skip such Pop Up Windows...
If no luck, please tell your App version... and maybe Link... so I could check...
There are 1000000000000000000000000 Versions of this Andromeda Running Gag.
B
There are other methods to get App and install...
Depend on your skills and how paranoid your Developer is...
My personal favorite is... TPK or WGT... then with SDB Tool:
Code:
sdb install "app"name.tpk
C
Samsung Phone...
This depend how much you want test Beta Apps...
Best Regards
Hi
First of all I'm very very happy with my phone Don't wanna change it
And I do not think that the links come out of a dangerous application sincerely, although I appreciate your advice, These links appear because I do not have the Galaxy store installed but through the wearable.
regarding the methods:
A
I tried to click on all possible parts of the link and impossible
Don't know why wanna know my version or "link"? But is v4.10.10-rc1 and as I said I can not update it as it is integrated in the wearable
B
Definitely yes, I am passionate about tizen studio and yes I have installed several apps through wgt files
C
See beginning of the post Thx
Thx & Greets
But is v4.10.10-rc1 and as I said I can not update it as it is integrated in the wearable

You have Download Link?
Maybe Special Thread for your handset...
Sorry my English is not sooooo good.
Reason for clicking weired through whole Display....
I have several Samsung Apps Versions, where I can skip/bypass this kind of forced update...
I have now limited time... maybe later I can be more specific...
About Samsung handsets...
I have more then 1 device... but only old crap...
Like GT-I9300...
And my SM-R760 is for instance my toy...
So IMHO focus on your priority.
If Beta App testing is important for you...
So alternate solution...
Toy Wear + Samsung Toy Handset...
Maybe easier and faster to manage instead "hacking" Samsungs Security """Chain"""...
Maybe family members can borrow you Samsung Phone... or neighbar or...
Best Regards
Hi, I really appreciate your effort to really help me
I do not intend to hack any Samsung system to get what I want
I am going to get it by installing the wgt through tizen studio
The main reason for my post was to make enough noise for Samsung to update the embedded Galaxy Store inside Samsung wearable.
Thx again

You mean the Phone part?
Because Galaxy App app APK is 1 App:

Code:

Impossible I've tried that way
There's one way through wpc mode but don't know how get this without resetting and don't wanna do it cause the long way to leave the watch as it was.
Any other ideas plz
Thx
​?? ??
Sorry.
At the moment it is impossible for me to help you...
All I can do is in last PM I wrote you...
I spend few hourS with different Samsung handsetS...
Always failed...
Wrong ODC (Version)... incompatible Watch blabla...
IMHO this is not worth...
If I have trouble with Samsung stuff... no idea if you can bypass without Samsung device... this Security Labyrinth/Chain...
IMHO easier:
A
As I told Samsung Phone...
Seems good idea to have Android 7 device...
So something like Samsung S6...
B
If your Developer is friendly enough... he can share the Beta App in other wayS...
But if he is also so paranoid like Samsung... because paid App...
I have to give up on this...
Sorry.

S20 Compromised, Hidden Odin bootloader + Cloned apps and logs

So to start,
I'm not the typical "my girlfriends watching me" security hackz0r post.
I'm no expert or even close but I do have a general idea of what and how an Android should run.
I detected the device was playing up, slowing down, screen looking blurry. Odd icons in notification tray. But before I go into the things that I don't have data for.
What I do have data for and would appreciate input on is the following.
S20 Ultra Exy
Less than two weeks old
Cloned apps
Adjust system settings
Apps being given permissions and even admin rights.
I have tried to make sense of logs but it appears that the attacker is using a mixture of Dex, Java, Bluetooth and Odin in some remote access capability.
I have tried factory resets and the cloned apps which have been given there own emulated storage that I can't touch on the device.
An unlocked Odin Bootloader! (see pic) that's when I knew I needed more advice. From what I know once the Bootloader has tripped Knox and secure folder won't work.. SECURE folder appears to work..
Ive had apps go into desktop mode randomly..
Look I don't want to sound like that crazy tin foil hat guy, but It is becoming a trend in my trade. I've just listed some of the easily proved things.
I've uploaded logs and screens to the cloud and able to share with anyone who knows this stuff well.
Basically I've got an $1400 phone security marvel that appears to have been Bootloaded and maybe rooted remotely.
I have my suspicions at the office and I would like to try and trace the attackers location.
To be clear this device is no way associated with the infected.
That Bootloader was accessed just by going into the preload process I was planning on trying to wipe the cache and then saw it the Bootloading option and realised this is pretty serious...
pasteboar d.co/J80r5Kb.jpg
pasteboar d.co/J80rL9g.jpg
This was stumbled upon as I accessed the safe load menu to try and clear the cache partion.
Who's up for a challenge?

whats the challenge? all that indicates is you pressed the buttons to enter dl mode?
meaning bl recovery mode set by key = you held buttons to enter download mode aka bootloader mode.. keys in this case mean the hardware keys i.e. vol buttons, power buttons are "keys"
Lol I was afraid I'd run into your kind...
Read the first post then get back to me buddy. Yeah great job on explaining the buttons I pressed during start up.....
I'm looking for someone who can identify the initial infection which has now been only stock wiped , and then remotely identify the person(s) and location of the initial attack. That person would need knowledge with Dex, Java, SSH, VPN and Tor....
So if you want to re read the first post, take it all in and realise I only showed you a Bootloader on my s20 ultra. Has this remotely deactivated the efuse or is it a well put together series Emulated system files either on my device or locally transmitted? (Data Transfer has been very unusual, last week)
Anyway bud if you can work it out I've got crypto ready
Atleast read the first post before commenting on a picture mate because you look a bit out of your depth now...

With that attitude, good luck getting any advice lmao
Hey, I only matched the attitude given to me! This forum is full of skilled Developers and I was hoping I explained and provided enough information and proof to separate me from the junk.
I was just lumped into the same category of everyone else... I realise there's a lot of... non white hats in here.
From what It looks like on the outside is I have been remotely attacked and bootloader installed. Im not sure if that's common knowledge? Seems like a game breaker. I literally cannot wipe my security s20 device of the infected system apps.
This is your domain, not mine. I wasnt going to back down to the stock standard response of these posts.
I know the device has been corrupted, fact. The pics prove it. Can anyone else get that on there 2 week old stock standard s20? I am still able to open SecureFolder also.
I don't know because information is hard to find. Feel free to PM me.
Thanks

You don't get help by "getting back" at someone who may have misinterpreted your question/problem, or looked at it from a different perspective. There are constructive ways to interact with others, and there are destructive ways to interact. You obviously haven't learned that life lesson yet.
Considering elliwigy has been a member since 2011 and is a recognized developer and retired moderator, I'll go out on a limb and say he probably has more experience with potentially corrupted/compromised devices than someone who joined xda this month.
Good luck with your phone.
See we must have very different views, because I see us all as equals. I was spoken down to and treated like everyone else. Honestly read the response and tell me how that was helpful at all to my post.
So if we are all equal I expect the same respect I give, I think the OP was well written, descriptive and provided proof.
You went out of your way to talk to me about life as if, because we disagree, I haven't learnt what you (better than me) have.
It's OK bud I've been on forums since forums were around I know the whole God complex some people get, Never understood.... so thanks for teaching me about life in Dev forum. I know its easy looking up methods and vunrabilities and infecting devices, and that makes you feel l337.
I think it'd be more l337 explaining to people how the **** a s20 has been compromised with a Bootloader while still having access to SecureFolder. Using some sort of Dex Module and Bluetooth module that have both been edited and converted to run in the system and remain hard to get.
So here ya go mate you want to teach me about life show me your qualifications, quickly explain how that would happen. Then once you've done that I'll thank you, apologise for being hasty under the circumstances and then compensate you what your worth.
Because right now it seems no one can explain or wants to explain (more likely) what has happened...
Anyway I apologise mate if you took it to heart, but I know what its like being the noob, during my research I saw a lot of short answers like I got and then they accept it and leave, I'm after a solution and would rather freelance than corporate. If this isn't the place to find the right Hat then let me know.
Here's a question to break it up
How long would something like this take to Analyize and discover first intrusion?
sounds like you need to odin flash OEM firmware, repartition and wipe

Galaxy watch active 2 bp ecg spo2 workaround

Hi, I'm gaurav Prashar from india. There's a plethora of information regarding how to make bp, ecg and spo2 work on galaxy watch active 2. However people like me are quite clueless as to how to proceed. So plz pardon me for creating a new thread but kindly guide me how to go about it. Following info is provided from my side
1.Galaxy watch active 2 (3FO2)no idea what this 3FO2 is
2.SM R820
3.CSC :R8200XA1CT14(this i got by dialing *#1234#)
4.ONE UI WATCH VERSION :2.0
5.TIZEN:5.5.0.1
6.SM:R820NZKAXSG(this is written in the software tab, read it somewhere that the last three letters of this are the CSC whereas above CSC is different )
First of all I'm confused which is the CSC
I bought the watch in India
Next is how to go about making ecg, bp and spo2 work on my particular watch active 2
Thanks in advance

My favorite solution for SM-R820 and SM-R830 is ROOT.
I waste too much time with hunting for "Holy Grail"...
In PM somebody have problems to trying "solution" to play with build.prop and/or Magisk Modules to fake Samsung Model...
Sorry, I have only limited time and energy...
And Samsung kick our Balls with every update...
And i have only Samsung crap... no non Samsung Phone...
So NO idea how these devices work...
I can help you to ROOT CTI4 and install BP and ECG... thats all I can do.
If this is okay for you.
I can help you.
If ROOT is no Option or you are scared to use netOdin...
Its okay, I will survive.
Best Regards
I'm ready to root and take ur much needed help i've a one plus 6
Important!
I hope you are still on CTI4...not CTJ5 meanhwile... or other Firmware.
Own Risk!
Possible Samsung Pay will NOT work.
Files for SM-R820 are here:

netOdin is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73503787&postcount=150
Because 1 file only to select...
You can click AP in netOdin... then select file.
NOT change Settings in netOdin!
Use Standard Settings!

Seeing that this user has only posted 12 messages, I'm guessing this was among their first 10. Last I remember, XDA requires 10 messages to be posted by a user in order to get some kind of further permissions, although I don't remember what, although that was back on the old forum software. These days there are also achievements to get "XP" and "levels", and that might've been one.
Long story medium, the user likely posted nearly useless information to get their post-count up to 10. As his only useful comment says in the OP "no thanks". I'm not even downloading something that I don't know what I'm expecting, much less looking in the zip or doing anything else, and some of the settings accessible via the dialer code are likely dangerous unless you know exactly what you're doing, so without actual instructions detailing what the code has to do with the title of the thread, I wouldn't bother.
I'm tempted to report the thread. Normally I wouldn't bother as this kind of thread from new users is a dime a dozen but it's pretty blatantly a misleading thread title without more information, and with no description of what the file is supposed to be, and the only words in the OP being "no thanks" just screams "what the bloody hell" to me.

I guessed it was fake, however, the man was deluded to the end, I also advise not to trust this. I was surprised that this has been hanging around for so long.
@edit
Probably the author cannot write a tutorial in English, so if someone could help, it would be very cool. It might work after all
I have looked into the file and it's generic code to enable VOLTE ( kind of a fix ) nothing suspicious in the file. Lol some of the xmls in the zip are from Samsung's phone. If you don't know what to or how to enable VOLTE. Don't download the app. Although Pixel 6 and Pro supports VOLTE out of the box. In my instance I have enabled E-Sim and can see option for calls over WIFI which worked just fine. The OP has just copied files from other thread and posted here. Makes no sense. Btw username checks out You can cross reference the settings posted in xmls's to your phone.

no,the file zip from pixel 6 pro fireware.

I tried to change a setting ... then reboot ... but the change gets undone ... I guess that's sorta normal as the underlying XML files are in read only storage (guessing). So this is probably un-usable to make permanent changes.
