Most old methods of changing the region on the samsung watches don't work anymore. Given their return policy I thought I bought expensive junk.

starts the csc selection but doesn't actually change the region.
TL;DR you need to install the combination firmware and edit two files
INFO: Netodin works fine in linux as well with wine since it works over the wifi
1. Start NetOdin3 click options and disable auto reboot
2. Click AP and select the combination firmware
3. Hold reboot button on the Samsung watch, when the reboot screen shows up press home multiple times to get into the boot menu
4. Jump to the Download (Wireless) and hold the boot button again to get into the Firmware download menu
5. Press the same button to more times to switch the watch to AP mode
6. Connect your wifi to the watch SM-R830-someid
7. In NetOdin3 press Start to flash the combination firmware
8. Click reset and now press CSC button
9. Select the CSC md5 and press start
10. When you reboot the device hold the boot button again until you enter the boot menu again
11. Select recovery and let the device restart
12. Enter settings -> About watch -> Software -> Tap software version until debug mode starts (you may need to restart your watch)
13. Connect watch to wifi
14. sdb connect <watchip>
15. sdb root on
16. sdb shell
17. backup active-customer.info: sdb pull /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
18. backup prodcode.dat: sdb pull /csa/imei/prodcode.dat
19. edit /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf and replace csc code (I used vim and the XAR for the US version, https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/vi-editor-unix/ )
20. edit /csa/imei/prodcode.dat and replace last three characters to csc code you want (don't enter the csc selection after this it will reset it to the factory region)
21. reboot the device into recovery (i used /usr/bin/csc-util --reboot customer_change but i'm not sure it's necessary)
22. run netodin again and select AP, BL and CSC to flash stock
23. enjoy samsung pay if you have a US credit card (seems like you no longer need to install samsung pay apks on non samsung phone it's part of the wearables app)

Thank you for your reply,l bought my watch in UK.
According to the list the csc is BTU-UNITED KINGDOM.
A Beginner
Hi,
First of all I want to thank you guys for the grat work.
I want to say that I am actually a beginner or amature when it comes to what you are doing
The instructions are very clea. But I would really appreciate it if anybody describes what to do with more details, especially the codes of sdb. Just some more details
It would be great if you can upload a video "If possible"
1. What is the worst thing that might happen if I do something wrong? Can the watch be ruind? Can I fix it if it happens?
2. Where can I find the csc of my country "Sweden" I googled it and found like 5 or 6 different csc !! Is there any trusted source?
3. Is it appliable to R820??? the 44mm model? or do I need to do something different in my case??
Thanks in advance
Coming from the other thread to confirm this worked for me, thanks a ton! Didn't think it would be that simple with just editing two text files.. lol
For those who missed it(I did), some steps are missing where one has to repeatedly connect back to AP every time something has to be done in NetOdin.
Also if anyone is confused about the steps, it's pretty much the same process for all samsung watches so just search for it on youtube, it's there.
Out of curiosity, where did you get the firmware from?? @tb_

Hi ,
Thanks for your feedback,are the sdb thing code mandatory?on youtube they only add the 3 or 4 files on odin and just flash it...
Hey guys, firstly thankyou! This worked perfectly and now I'm able to use Samsung pay down in Australia! Only thing that I would add from the perspective of being a complete beginner to Odin, is how to save the files when you edit the CSC (press escape then type ":wq") it took me an extra 20 minutes to figure it out and I thought someone might find it useful

Got it from a third party. I was worried that it was counterfeit so before installing it I went through the system files to see if it's really the right model. But I can of course not guarantee that it wasn't modified by a third party. But I kinda assume that samsung won't boot from any random image given that you can't downgrade Samsung and even their tizen to any version you want apparently.

The csc.img has BTU inside. But I can't guarantee you anything when I ran this with my zone set to XTC it was booting fine but I couldn't get my phone to connect / initialize the watch after the factory reset. But not sure if it was the app or because i didn't properly reset or if I maybe shouldn't have reset.
So I can tell you that it will boot without issues but whether it works no idea. Maybe someone else can comment on that.

I think you are talking about steps 17 and 18. If so can you please till me a bit more detailed how to do these steps ! I mean Do we edit manually in the sdb?? or how are we editing? Why do we need to save the files after editing? there is nothing about saving files in the steps above!
Sorry if my questions are silly but I am a real beginner here!

No one will give you guarantees on this because no one wants to blame if something goes wrong. But if you try absolutely under no circumstances interrupt the flashing process and absolutely don't use the wrong model ROM. Also to be safe don't try to flash a firmware that has a lower version than your current one.

csc usually depends on the vendor. So there are a bunch of sweden csc's . But you should be able to find your current csc in /cas/imei/prodcode.dat

r820 is the 44mm bluetooth model.
825 and 835 are lte with one version being US and the other being global I believe.

Lower frimware? I have Tizen version 4.0.0.7
1. Do you know if the availabe combination frimware for R820 is of a lower frimware??
2. Yes My R820 is the 44mm bluetooth. thats correct. I guess I should use R820 which you linked in your original post!
3. Can you please describe more about steps 17-18 I didn't really understand how to edit! It's my first time using this sdb thing
Thanks for your patience everybody answering or even reading my questions
I think I am the most commenting member on this topic.
I have read a lot and almost all the details in each shared link in this thread.
I am trying hard I swear. Lately after downloading the shared files in the links in the original post. I can't start the file "web-cli_Tizen_Studio_3.3_windows-64"
It is just flashing a cmd window and nothing happens after that!
What should I do in this case??
The other file in the link "web-ide_Tizen_Studio_3.3_windows-64" is telling I should have JDK software which I installed but It didn't help anyway!

Don't use that because I had the same issue in Windows 10. Go to https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330 and download SDBstarterKidv1.zip. Extract it and run ansicon.exe under data/tools folder. It will open a command prompt.

Thanks for the advice
I haven't done Netodin steps yet.
I am trying now to just connect the watch to the computer through the wifi network.
I have debugging mode on in the watch but I still can not connect to the watch
It keeps telling me failed to connect
connecting to 192.168.0.16:26101 ...
failed to connect to 192.168.0.16:26101
Is it normal I can't connect before doing the netodin steps??

Normally the watch comes up with a prompt to allow your pc to connect to your watch. Maybe you might have to restart your watch. I would try the netodin step first because it might be more straightforward to connect the combination firmware to the computer because I didn't get any prompt on that.
Also maybe check that your virus scanner/firewall isn't blocking access.

I've tried to turn off my antivirus and firewall but still no connection.
The newer versions of sdb 4.1.8 is showing the following:
The version of SDB client (4.1.8) and server (2.2.60) are different.
This may cause version compatibility problems.
It is recommended to use SDB server 4.1.8. *

Debugging mode is on in my watch
When writing same command again "sdb connect 192.168.0.16" I get weird figures or "error: target offline" in the newest version of sdb
I have even tried to create a private wifi from the computer I use and connect the watch to the same network but it didn't help either.
I am still only trying to connect the watch to the computer through sdb. I haven't done the odin steps yet. I am afraid doing odin steps and not being able to complete the sdb connecty steps !!
I have another question:
Where I live in Sweden. Samsung didn't release a bluetooth version at all. That's why I bought mine from Germany.
If I change my csc to Sweden. Will it work as there is actually no swedish bluetooth SM-R820 !! I mean that mine watch will be probably the only bluetooth r820 with swedish csc !!!! will I get updates as usual? will the watch even work?

Solved
Thankgod the issue has been Solved. I had the firewall disconnected for 15 minutes. Than i was able to connect to my watch via wifi and i could install de original software again.
I recently tried to change my region from Dubai to USA for my watch active 2 but when I download the combination firmware, it's for the 4.0.0 tizen version and it blocked my Wi-Fi. Now I can't download the stock firmware to my watch because I can't make it as a hotspot. Is there any way to connect my watch using USB to my PC so that I can install the stock version again
Exact Model Name?
Example... I have SM-R820...
Now you...

Yeah sorry, I have SM-R820 running previously on Tizen 5.5.0. I tried to install the combination firmware but it was for the Tizen version 4.0.0.6 and now my Wi-Fi is not working and I can't install anything from odin

I have the stock firmware available for the Tizen 4.0.0.6. If I install that to my watch through USB connector, will my watch start working in a normal way?
But one more thing, before installing this combination firmware, my watch was on Tizen version 5.5.0.1, So if I try to install that older version of Tizen, will it effect my watch in any case?
I have NO Crystal Ball... so I can NOT look into future...
You can also check if Serial Number is still visible in Settings... About...
My knowledge is... if BT and/or WiFi aka MAC address is gone... you need manually action to restore...
Less (lowest) chance of magic self healing...
USB cable IMHO only increase your chance with Tool SDB to write BT and MAC to CSA partition...
Only Flashing Firmware with Odin not solve your problem... IMHO.
Feel free to try.

Hey. I have the same problem... BT and Wifi gone...
With that code I get a bluetooth address : 184E:16:4CCD9F... but only there... On device info, nothing...
Is there a possible way to get them back?

Hello I am trying to restore my Watch because I flashed it without BL file and WiFi broke. I coudn't find the charger on Amazon, only on AliExpress and I would like to fix it as soon as posible to get the new Tizen update.
Can you please share a link on the product? Does it match the pinout out of the box? Or should I remap it?
Hi Guys,
i want to install the stock firmware from samsung on my active watch 2 LTE, but I cannot find the right Files online.
Can you support me with the right files?
Why...
I tried to flash via Net_Odin to change CSC (to make BP, ECG and so available on my German Watch).
I dont know why, but it failed all the time by using following file:
-COMBINATION-FT40_R825USQU1ASL2.tar
Now I heard that BP and ECG will be available soon in Germany, so a flash to a custom firmware is not needed anymore.
Now the Watch always goe into Boot Mode and thats it.
I can go to the screen were I can acitivate AP mode and WIFI is working fine to connect the watch with my PC and use Net_odin again.
Can you help me, to get my Watch into "standard" Setup again?
Thanks a lot
I´ve read other THread regarding "flashing the active 2 watch".
For now i would do following steps...
1. Change Watch into AP Mode and connect my pc to it.
2. Open netodin and flash 4 files
-AP_R825FXXU1BTI9_usr.tar.md5
-BL_R825FXXU1BTI9_usr.tar.md5
-CP_R825FXXU1BTI9_CL1701429_QB16973615_SIGNED.tar.md5
-CSC_OXA_R825FOXA1BTI9_usr.tar.md5
3. Reboot the watch
4. use to files to activate ECG and BP
-SHM1.1.0.175.mod4.apk
-TPKpusher_v9_BPandECG_31_inside-apk
Am I right?
Thanks a lot.
Hello, pps! As the title says, I tried to put a different firmware for my GWA 1, via Wifi...Said and done... Proces completed successfully but when the watch started, there was no possibility to connect to my phone...
I started the watch without pairing and saw that it doesn't have any BT and Wifi Adress ( as shown in the pics...) The method to Download wireless AP-1 stopped working...
So I made a USB connector to the pins, with info found here.
I successfully put other firmware via USB - Odin but the BT and Wifi address still missing... ( see the pics )
Does ANYONE know how can I restore/ Rewrite these addresses, maybe via SDB Tool? THANK you for your time!
Write me Conversation... the new Private Message System...
Best Regards
Uuups. You allready did... my fault...
Best Regards
Issue SOLVED! I flashed with ODIN this firmware :
R500XXU1ETI1_Tizen_3File_CSC (OXA).EF_83fdd26083.zip (extracted with WinZip, and after that extracted again with EF FILE EXTRACTOR ( https://mega.nz/file/40NQ3YaL#JL5cq46ErZFoSFB-fxMmOsKBd44VDcMgUtOl8Ji8hrA )
found here : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=8889791610682953343
AND after reboot, my watch had again BT identity and connected to my phone!
Restored my backup and everything is back to normal! Also Wifi address.
Best of wishes to all that had/have the same problem!
To prevent trouble for more users...
I have deleted Link to:
COMBINATION-FT40_R500XXU1ASA5.tar.md5.7z
Maybe Security issue from newer Stock Firmware...
Best Regards
