Hi guys!
I want to change the region to my active 2 LTE from US to Mexico so that I can use my Mexican carrier. I got it thinking it was globally unlocked but it looks like it's locked to the US.
I've seen some tutorials but they are for older versions (Tizen 4). This watch is on Tizen 5.5.0.1.
Can anyone please help me out with this?
Thank you very much
Looks like Mexico is OWO Region package... with CSC:
TCE
Step 1.
We need Combination Firmware...
Attached is slightly "modified"... only removed folder + 1 file...
Step 2.
We need OWO package of SM-R835F...
Best Regards
this works if the watch is already on 5.5.01 firmware? version FXXU1BT9
i need some help to not mess it up. since it only has one go through the wireless method.
thanks

Hello,
I try to change my CSC to be able to activate the eSIM and Samnsung Pay,but i'm unable to do that in sdb (it says launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration that is successful but on my watch it doesn't show the CSC menu).
Is downgrading my only solution and if so , where can i find the firmware because I can't seem to find anything on SamMobile?
Thank you

You could try OXA... use ESD8:

I hope I understand everything good. Now I have a newest CSC with OXA (Open - Open Country code) - *#1234#: My CSC R805FOXA1FSK2
You offer me a downgrade with this : R805FXXU1ESD8

Few days ago I updated with Odin My Note9. I downloaded from the sammobile the actual last firm and made it without problem. I don't understand why bigger the risk with the samsung watch.

Phones have USB cable for Emergency Flashing.
Samsung Watches is bigger problem if you kill the """WiFi Security chain"""...
You have not USB cable for easy second attempt.
And the LTE Watches makes more trouble... if you doing something wrong or simple out of luck.
You asked about worst case...
netOdin is not 100 % riskfree.

No risk no fun. :angel:

Hi, I have SM-R805F bought in Czech rep. Can I use these instructions for downgrade my firmware to change my region (I want Samsung Pay)? I have saved my eSIM in my watches now - after flashning it will stay there or will be deleted? Thanks a lot
@ohajo3
Yes you can. Do not reset networks after flash during setup. Esim will stay.
I changed my CSC to Australia to get the Samsung Pay but this disabled VoLTE on my watch. I m now not able to call or receive any calls. I m from India. Watch was originally purchased in Australia.
During this process I was prompted for update which I did and now I m stuck with 4.0.0.7 version and no way to change the CSC back to INU using shell access way.
Only way now looks to use the combination firmware and Odin. But not sure where to find the Combination Firmware for SM-R805F LTE version.
Anyone or @adfree can point me to right direction to get the right required binaries ?
My device details
AP : R805FXXU1FSL4
CP: R805FXXU1FSL4
CSC: R805FOXX1FSL4
LTE version.
Can anyone help with the right binary I should use to downgrade?
These are my device details:
AP : R805FXXU1FSL4
CP: R805FXXU1FSL4
CSC: R805FOXX1FSL4
LTE version.
Not able to find combination firmware for this version. Not very sure which one I should use.
Thanks in advance.
@madono
You wish to have India INU?
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/INU/SM-R805F/version.test.xml
IMHO seems INU require OXX package...
Here are 2 OXX packages:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79644543&postcount=1
According to DBT list... they are before Tizen 4.0.0.7
So please try these 2 firmwares... with the old method to change CSC...
So IMHO no Combination Firmware required...
Only downgrade...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Sorry, my fault...
Links expired.
Edit 2.
Oh, totally forgotten...
Latest FTC1 for OXX region is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82893207&postcount=55
INU inside this OXX region.
@adfree Thanks for the links! I m downloading it right now. Speed is slow, not sure if I will be able to download it in one go. Is there any expiry for this download link? If I m not able to download today, will try tomorrow again.
Another question for downgrade, do I have to choose all four files , namely, BL, AP, CP, CSC to downgrade?
I have not done a galaxy watch downgrade before so wanted to be sure not to mess it.
I actually wanted to have Samsung Pay and LTE enabled. It was working fine using Australia CSC code but my Phone operator recently changed calling only on VoLTE. So i was not able to receive calls or call anyone. Only internet was working using AU CSC.
Now it seems I have to choose between calling and Samsung Pay. SP is not officially launched on Galaxy Watch in India. Only on smartphone it is allowed. Not sure why.
Thank you once again!
Regards,
madono
Hi @adfree,
I downloaded the firmware from the link. Today was bit hard day at work so not trying to update watch.
Will try it out with fresh mind tomorrow. Just need couple of things cleared before I try it.
1. In firmware download steps, it is mentioned to only use BL, AP, CSC file?
Downloaded rar has 4 files. Is this fine?
And final one this is my current watch status
AP : R805FXXU1FSL4
CP: R805FXXU1FSL4
CSC: R805FOXX1FSL4
Watch is LTE model.
I m good to go ahead with said firmware?
@adfree please review, don't want to mess this one. I know there is always risk but want to use correct firmware.
Thanks for the help!

For downgrade to use old SDB Command for CSC change...

Hi ,
Finally was able to downgrade to 4.0.0.4 and watch did not explode
This link has 4.0.0.7
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...7&postcount=55
After download I was still on 4.0.0.7 and looks like my CSC was still pointing to AU
I used this link to downgrade : https://www.file-upload.net/download...E3_OXX.7z.html
Then SDB command to change CSC from AU to India
Thanks to @adfree
One thing I observed that my eSIM was not reset. I was expecting it will be removed when I downgrade. Looks like it is left alone in this process.
Not sure if there is any way to enable Samsung Pay without changing CSC. Missing SP very much in current time.

Did I correct understand:
To change CSC by old method (with SDB) it is needed:
1. Flash with Odin all 4 files (early Firmware)
2. Change CSC with SDB
3. Install Samsung Pay
4. Flash with Odin all 4 files (latest firmware) back to FSL4
and Samsung Pay will stay?
Hi All,
I've been following this prodigious forum for a long time, and, like many of us, i'm trying to change the default CSC of my galaxy watch 42 LTE.
I followed the procedure via SBD, formally it was successful, but like many of us, the watch did not show the list of countries.
So... this is the idea:
downgrade to first firmware via NetODIN (should be R815FXXU1CRK7), than use the SBD procedure in order to select my CSC (that should go on first firmware) then I proceed via OTA to update the latest available firmware.
This is my actual watch configuration:
AP: R815FXXU1FSL3
CP: R815FXXU1FSL3
CSC: R815FOXA1FSL3
Stock firmware I'm searching for: R815FXXU1CRK7
Should be a Europe free operatore device from DBT, desire to switch to ITV.
... and this is the issue:
I tried quite a lot but I still haven't been able to find the first firmware with which the watch was born, also on the XDA forum, but for the R815F version there doesn't seem to be my specific firmware ... could you help me?
In your opinion could it work this solution? Thanks for the contributions, so as to help the many of us who have the 42 LTE - R815F version.
Thank you,
Strategia
I dig up the subject, I have the same model and in 2 years I only received an update, I live in France but I received it with the csc oxa. I have the exact same firmware as you. And I never received an update.
Hi guys,
First post, so please let me off if I haven't followed protocol properly. I have been looking at all the other threads and posts and I have come to the conclusion that this is possible, but I need some guidance:
Bought the watch second hand. Samsung Pay isn't available. Samsung Tech help believe the watch isn't from the UK. I also believe this to be true, as when it is reset, the first language to appear is German, before it syncs with the phone and changes to English.
So I would like to change the region from Germany to England to get Samsung Pay enabled.
I have downloaded NetOdin3
I am capable of connecting to the watch in boot mode through wireless.
I have downloaded the combination firmware and stock firmware from https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm.../samsung-galaxy-watch-mactive-2-gwa2-t3968437 where adfree posted the links.
This is where I am stuck. I am unsure if these are the right files for the UK, because that thread was to change it from Germany to "ser"
From what I've read I need to change some text in the combination firmware, but how do I do this, in NetOdin3? or some other program.
Secondly what do I need to change it from and to? I understand its to get the region from Germany to UK, but what is the region code for the UK?
I appreciate I am a total beginner and have probably just asked some real basic questions, however after reading the thread about the guy who flashed his 820 with 830 firmware and bricked it, I'm a little more worried about getting something wrong.
Cheers in advance
You have to change from DBT to BTU..BTU is UK CSC.

So do I need to edit the files that @adfree linked in SDP?
or are those files ready to go and do I need to edit some files off the watch somehow?

do you know how to use net odin and r u ready to take risk.
Thanks for your time man yeah I've been doing this since HTC HD2 era I wasn't afraid of that.
I thought it was a specific f/w I had to d/l for flashing the specific CSC of my country in order to change it..Just like with ROMs. Then I watched the whole procedure and realised it had to do with messing with inf file after flashing a universal f/w to change the CSC and then push the commands through terminal before flashing back the OG f/w.
The proceduce was successful and now I can use mobile services of my country, which wasn't feasible before
Again thanks for your time
Hello everybody!
I need the firmware R805FXXU1ESI1 to downgrade and change the CSC of my Galaxy Watch, but unfortunately I only find it in Easy-firmware, and I don't have an account there:
R805FXXU1ESI1 Tizen 3File | Easy Firmware
easy-firmware.com
I need this version exactly, because my region is ZTO and I need this base firmware (OWO).
Thank you very much in advance.

As per my understanding, I have to follow these steps:
1. Flash combinational firmware
2. Change CSC using SDB commands
3. Flash stock firmware
4. Install samsung pay
5. Repeat steps 1-3 to change CSC back to the original so that i retain mobile connectivity
@galaxys I have the same watch model but with Tizen 5.5. Would the same old firmware work with my watch also?

Thanks for your early reply otherwise i was thinking of giving it a try.
BTW i found that dialing *#272*IMEI# also change the CSC but did not try because people here are going for flashing firmware due to some reason only. Do you know why shouldn't it work on galaxy watch?
