I have searched here and on a couple of other Android forums and can't find any reference to this. I am trying to buy a smartphone for my husband. I have narrowed it down to and S4 Mini model # 9195. I found on eBay someone selling this specific model: GT-I9195ZKAPHE. I found on Amazon someone selling this specific model: GT-I9195ZKADBT
What I'm trying to determine is what does ZKAPHE akd ZKADBT mean. Some of the 9195 LTE frequencies may be "region dependent" (?) and I suspect these letters tell us. But darned if I can find anywhere where they are explained.
I found a UK samsung site that says ZKABTU and another Samsung world site that says ZPABG (Greek, maybe?) and ZKADBT seems to be being sold from Germany.
When I google 9195ZKAPHE, I get sites in Spain.
Anyone deciphered any of these letters? Or have a Samsung link that discusses them? Do they have anything to do with frequencies or 4G support? I am trying to get an unlocked phone that will work well in the US on ATT and in SE Asia on various carriers when I travel.
Thanks in advance...

Last 3 letters are CSC (country sale code).
Basically what title says
Got one off eBay, works great with US carriers, but the rom included is from Saudi Arabia, so whenever I try to use Samsung Pay it tells me my cards are not supported.
Anyone know what stock ROM I can flash to it so i can use Samsung pay normally?
Theoretically i could just flash every one until i find which one works but if someone has already done this it would be quite a time saver and im guessing i might not be the only one with this issue.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-G960F/
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G960F/
I've checked both these sites but none have any Americas or US Roms, Ive used the Mexico/Claro one on my old S8 with good success so that one should work, but i don't see it for this version (SM-G960F, S9)
Any help would be apreciated
XSG works but you will get ads and promotions for United Arab Emirates. But it let me use my US cards with no problem.
SM-G960F/FD is not intended for use in the US so none of the firmware's will enable Samsung pay as they do not have the correct CSC for the US. Obviously you wont be able to flash the rom for the US S9 (SM-G960U) on your SM-G960F as the US version has the snapdragon 845 and the rest of the word (except Canada and China) gets the Exynos 9810.
What you are hoping for is for someone to find a way to replace a CSC from an Exynos s9, with the CSC from the Snapdragon s9. Sorry to destroy your hopes but dont think that this will ever happen.
Your best bet is to use Google Pay (Or just put your card inside your case and act like you've got samsung pay).
Like I said. With XSG it WILL work in the US but with Ads from UAE. I use it that way in the US with no issues.
Yeah I've used other country roms in the us no problem but this one is not working, I am using XSG atm, it may be possibly because UAE doesnt support American Express? I would possibly need to find a rom from another country that does, usually the Mexico one works but it's currently not available and there's no Canada or Panama either,
Hello people,
I bought an active 2 smartwatch with LTE (eSIM) in Spain. I thought it would be relatively easy to turn it on in Portugal (the initial version is supported by one of the network operators). However I have come to the conclusion that the network connection depends on the "goodwill of the network operator", although both smartwatches have exactly the same connection frequencies. Is this anyway or is something escaping my comprehension ?
Any one can help ?
Best Regards

Your PHE (Spain) watch won't work in Portuguese networks, neither Samsung Pay (in case you have Samsung Pay in Portugal).
For both features to work, is mandatory to change CSC from PHE (Spain) to TPH (Portugal)... With this smartwatch, R825F, till now is not possible. Read this thread for a similar smartwatch, the R830 https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/changing-region-galaxy-active-2-t3983895 and you'll see that is a complex process and it involves the use of a combination file specific to the smartwatch and for the R825F till now is not available anywhere.
I'm in your same situation, I have the DBT (German) CSC, and I want to use in Spain, so I need to change to PHE. So eagerly waiting (and searching) for the R825F combination file.
Any help appreciated!

Hi.
Thanks for the comment. I don't think if that's the question (PHE), I think the letters identify the language of the country. The base version:
https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-watch-active2/carrier/
is exactly the same for a group of countries. I think there must be technical problems that only with the introduction of 5G networks will be solved, however in Portugal a older model sold by an Portuguese operator works perfectly:
https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-watch/carrier/
and the frequencies are exactly the same.
Merry Christmas
Dear Guerrero
I just connected my Samsung smartwatch bought in Spain to the carrier network in Portugal that already has eSIM.
I could only do it using an IPhone 11 smartphone, which was able to read the QR Code, because with my Samsung S9, I couldn't reach this stage.
I am experiencing the behavior of my smartwatch SM-R835, then I will tell my impressions.
Greetings

That's because it s a US study being conducted by The University of California San Francisco and they are using the data for final release of the app, so they are not allowing everyone to use it right now.

If you want look into this Thread...

Different "ideas" to get BP Lab working... outside US...
Btw. IMHO this is wrong US only...
BP also """allowed""" for other countries...
I can remember India...

Hello, since I haven't found any post with the instructions to change the region on this watch, I decided to create an account and give it a go and try if anyone could help me.
I bought this watch active on Amazon and it's supposed to be the Germany variant, and I can't use the Samsung pay due to that region limitation, is there any chance of changing the region to Spain and use Samsung Pay, if so, I would be grateful for your help, thank you!
