Hi all,
I've tried to search but no luck specifically to my region
I bought a SM-N976B from a friend and i couldn't use Samsung pay.
I brought it to the Samsung store and they said i have a different region.
I ended up searching if it is possible to change the region by flashing, I've got mixed results and I downloaded Frija and couldn't search the firmware i want to use...
I'm currently using this model SM-N976B and would like to change the firmware region to HONG KONG so that i could use the "Samsung pay x Octopus".
Could anyone please help me point me in the right direction?
Kind regards
Mike

There is no Hong Kong firmware for your device, if there is no Hong Kong firmware to flash, you can't change the region to Hong Kong.
If you can find a Hong Kong firmware for another model number of Note 10+ 5G that has the same hardware specs as your model number, you might be able to flash that firmware on your device or at least parts of that firmware, such as the modem.img and the system.img. This isn't guaranteed to work, it could brick the device if the bootloader or modem from the other device doesn't get along with your device.

Hey Guys,
The title is pretty self-explanatory, I purchased a Galaxy Watch active from a Hong Kong seller not realising it would stop me from using Samsung Pay. As it is a new model I've only found one copy of the Firmware .MD5 files and the CSC is not the Australian one (which is the country that I live in). Is it possible to change the CSC code and thus the region of the .MD5 file so I can Flash my watch and get it onto the right region and unlock Samsung Pay?
I apologise if this is a stupid or naive question this is all brand new to me and I'm still trying to keep up.

Hey i found this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...r805f-csc-change-howto-esim-rsp-v2-x-t3848292
It should technically work. Let me know if it does please as i have ordered a galaxy watch import as well (HK to Australia) and only just found this out.
EDIT: Also look at this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546689 it should provide the right code for the Australian firmware

Hey, sorry for the delay in reply I was able to simply push the change of the region following this tutorial: https://l.messenger.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com%2Fsmartwatch%2Fgear-sport%2Fchanging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324&h=AT3gL1EJTD_LzPupE_pcei82eesT1O0MKpVQZGSgoTro4ovlL9xync975ADDZ67vB2UNTW7C_4dmZ5WRKU3anMSWN8dssfrihNs8SZH3LfhrIVqv-wn2MKbt5fW4K_jCN3hLiObSfgARdyN3SlnrVw no need to fuss about finding the right software or even cracking into the watch it was dead easy and wireless.
Hope this helps!
I've tried the region reset on my SM-R500, but I can't find the Irish (or UK) network providers in the list when doing the reset. I've got a watch that was set to UAE, so I'm guessing that specific firmware doesn't come with Irish regional settings? Any workaround to this? Is it possible to flash a suitable firmware and if so, where would I find the correct firmware?
Has anyone tried flashing the hongkong firmware on US Note 10/10+? Will that work since both models come wjth snapdragon SOCs?
Will most likely perma brick your device.
DON'T TRY IT!

Thanks for the reply. We have version n9700, is it possible to play sw on another? Maybe Australia? USA? We have a snapdragon. But we have other frequencies. I understand I should have bought a better model ? but it was cheap. Here in the Czech Republic is Note with exynos and I don't want exynos.

So I can flash Hongkong N9750 with Chinese N9760 firmware without any issues ? But the N9760 is a 5g phone so different hardware, how its software can be flashed on N9750

So I bought another Galaxy S20 ultra Unlocked on ebay from Hong Kong. Was able to unlock bootloader with no problem install Magisk. So everything is great but I have tried several times to install us firmware via Odin with no success.
Question: do I have to? To be able to use in US? When I try to see if imei can work with lets say Boost Mobile they don't recognize the imei... also when i went to register phone on Samsung HK website says phone is already registered.
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

Snapdragon Hong Kong is slightly different from the snapdragon US.
At least in my s9+ snapdragon is what happen, only be able to use rooms from south America and Asia like China.
I guess in the s20 series is the same. Snapdragon Canada and US is different than Hong Kong , Asia and south America

So, I purchased my Note 10+ on ebay and found out it's Taiwan model (CSC-BRI). I live in Australia and Samsung has Exynos version here. Can I change my CSC to Australia so that I can use Samsung Health Monitor? I don't want to root my phone yet.
I tried installing TGY (Hong Kong) firmware from Sammobile hoping HK will have Samsung Health Monitor but it didn't change CSC. I used CSC file in ODIN instead of HOME_CSC.
Note: I have galaxy watch 4 from Australia.
