Hello, I bought my Samsung active 2 SM-R820 watch from Germany and I need to change its region to France so I can use Samsung pay, I've read here the tutorial about how to change the region but I'm not sure which firmware should I use for France, so can anyone help me, please?
SM-R820
software version : R820XXU1EUK2
May it is not possible for change your region,cause I've bought a same watch from Perh and I brought it to China.
Meanwhile,I can't use that function like blood pressure and ECG,which in China are not allowed

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
I am purchasing a Galaxy Watch Active 2 44mm SM-R820 from overseas, but I am expecting Samsung pay will not work in Australia.
If I wish to change the country to Australia, what is the process? Do I need to download a new firmware?
Some years ago I successfully changed countries on my Gear 3 from German to Australian, but if I remember correctly, I downloaded Australian firmware..
Any comments would help
cheers

Hi Craig, I did the same thing as you and had no idea about watch regions. I managed to switch to Australia region by configuring the firmware. Check this video guide out

Note NetOdin was not able to detect my device even though I was connected to it hotspot in download mode. I used another laptop and it worked. I had enabled 'public network access' on the firewall for NetOdin on both laptops.
Samsung Pay and offline Spotify playlists now work.
I hope this helps.
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!

I need that too, but when I try to install it says is not available in my country.
Hi, maybe it's because of your CSC ?
Is Samsung Pay available on your country? If yes, what's your Watch's CSC ?
I also bought one from Germany and change the CSC to make Samsung Pay working in France (CSC XEF instead of DBT).
I followed this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...nging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324
Hi all
I have bought a Galaxy Watch Active 2 LTE 40mm Stainless steel (SM-R835U). the version of Tizen is 4.0.0.6 (sw version R835USQU1ASI1), current CSC is XAR and of course I couldn't find Samsung Pay and Blood Pressure app. Can someone please help me to update my GWA2 (R835U) for using SSPay and Blood Pressure app
Thanks in advance

How to check it used USA rom, dude?
BTW, I paired GWA2 with my Iphone
Sorry, misstype...
I mean if you are in USA... or from somewhere else...
Example... I am from Germany.
Because XAR as Sales Code / CSC is still Running Gag for me...
I have NO idea why XAR not show something usefull:
https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R835U/XAR/doc.html
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/XAR/SM-R835U/version.xml
Now replace in these 2 Links XAR with ATT for instance...
Btw, you are on latest Firmware:
Code:
R835USQU1ASI1/R835UOYN1ASI1/R835USQU1ASI1
LTE ever takes longer as BT only devices...
Best Regards
