watch 3 lte - Combination file vs old flash - Samsung Galaxy Watch 3

Hy guys
I have not yet bought the watch but I have searched this subforum for all possible information and I have many doubts.
Assuming that I am chooising the lte version, the purchase will be bound to the possibility of ecg, SP02, BP.
I would buy the Italian version, but I consider other recommended version
i have reject the way to install the two mod apk & tpk by caravana( and the sequent updates) respectively for ecg & BP because i read of many updates & sync issues.
I know that in italy there are the sw update that introduce this features....but there are only for not lte version
Taking on that the right way for me is change country (CSC) ( This Is The way :cyclops: )
So we come to the questions:
-Which country i must switch for the correct working of ecg, SP02, BP, Spay?
-Why i can't change country without the use of combination file? I'm a ex Samsung user and i remember that I use only csc ap bl cp for the flash what are change? I don't underestand.
Thank you for the clarifications.
Thanks again.

Hello, i'm an italian LTE version owner's, i installed the two mod apk & tpk by caravana without any issue and they work wery well. Only thing i miss is the SPO2 reading!
I also would like to understand how to mod the watch in a reversible way without losing guarantee (i don't know if there is any knox counter or similar), continuing to use Spay and italian e-sim.
But why Samsung has never update this version yet????

Probably this workaround ( the two mod app for BP & ecg) will have issues when you update the Samsung healt monitor o Samsung Healt or the tizen.
An issue already present is the lack of sync BP.
It isn't a stable solution.
But if we change the country i think that we can Spay,BP,ecg & Sp02 work correctly in the watch.
If we flash a standard firmware from other region i think that there aren't issues with knox. BUT... i don't understand why the xda's users use just this magical "combination file".
For first we should find the perfect europe country where all these features work in correct way.
After this we can flash the firmware, csc, & co ....But i think that there's something i'm missing
I have bad feeling about the Samsu.g update...you know that in non LTE version there is a update that switch on all the feature?....
Thank you

i have study the situation.
I have seen that there are the combination file also for the lte version.
being able to choose, i would buy the OXA version...but u know...it's impossibile know the csc version before the purchase...
So i have the BIG question:
- i need use the combination file to install the fw OXA with NetOdin? Or i can simply flash the files?
The doubt comes to me because everyone posts this guide which is also the method with which the old device was flashed
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78800094&postcount=7
-are there people who have had issue with BP, ecg & co? Like not precise or total wrong measure, i don't interest a millimetric precision.
Thank u.

Up..
Pls

Some questions...

I am going to buy a galaxy camera but I've some questions about this product.
1) I live in Italy and I found a galaxy camera imported from another country in a shopping online site (so I can save money).
If I buy it, can I use an Italian sim card? So is the camera sim/region locked?
2) Is 4G/LTE supported? And has anyone tried how fast it is?
3) I saw on sammobile that latest Italian kies firmware was released this month, January 2013. Can I flash the Italian firmware also if galaxy camera is not an Italian product?
4) Does flashing a new firmware with Kies increase the download counter? So do I lose my warranty in this way? And can I reset counter with jig o triangle away?

1) I live in Italy and I found a galaxy camera imported from another country in a shopping online site (so I can save money).
If I buy it, can I use an Italian sim card? So is the camera sim/region locked? - Yes you can, it's unlocked
2) Is 4G/LTE supported? And has anyone tried how fast it is? Only on the EK-GC120
3) I saw on sammobile that latest Italian kies firmware was released this month, January 2013. Can I flash the Italian firmware also if galaxy camera is not an Italian product? Flash away! You can flash what you like
4) Does flashing a new firmware with Kies increase the download counter? So do I lose my warranty in this way? And can I reset counter with jig o triangle away? It only increases if you put something custom on there, like if you root it, but it can be reset with "Triangle Away"
1: if it's unlocked(usually is) you can use any(micro) SIM, but 4G might not be the right frequency.
2: there are 3G and 4G versions, so for 4G you need to get the 4G version and check if it supports the frequencies used by your carrier.
3: only if it's the exact same model.
I used the UK update on my Dutch camera and it works fine.
4: flashing a firmware with kies should always be safe.
if kies increases your counter Samsung made a mistake and can't legally void your warranty.
kies however can only flash updates for the region your camera is from to my knowledge.
you can use Odin to flash a different region rom, which is safe as long as the rom is an unmodified stock rom.
depending on which rom you have installed triangle away may or may not work, it should work on older roms and will most likely receive updates(if it didn't already) for newer roms.
a little note on region switching though: there really is not much need if it's a European version.
all European roms include a very large list of languages in settings, which includes Italian.
the only region that really has any advantage would be UK, because they got the last big update before anyone else.
R: Some questions...
Thanks for your answers. So is the latest UK firmware the best? I thought it was the Italian one because I think it's the latest released in Europe.

Can't really comment on that as I've not personally tried the Italian one to make an informed comparison. Usually firmware released around the same time, are essentially the same firmware just with specific region changes.
But looking at the change list numbers, there maybe enough of a difference to say there are more code changes in the latest Italian release.
Only way to know which is "better", is to try them both out yourself, unless someone here who has tried both, can answer that question for you.

Changing csc for N960N - Android 10

Update: 1
I was able to change csc in Q for our n960n and this is how i did:
I flashed Superstable Q rom and the Dev included the option during installation in aroma to chose a different csc, i keept using the rom for 2-3 days and didn't have any issues, but before returning to Pie i did tested Dr.ketan's Q rom rom and Alexndr's-devbase Q rom and in both cases i still had my csc.
Click to expand...

Im opening this thread to find a solution on how to change the csc on note9 n960n in android 10.
Doing so in Android Pie was easy ( of course with help from this great community ).
there is a tool provided here called - Csc selector - which i used and it worked great ( for note8/note9/note10), some roms offer the option to chose during installation.
when i updated to android 10 it changes the csc i had, probably because Samsung made some changes so i guess we will have to wait until more csc are released with updating process still in the way.
i will post any news/tutorial i find here and hopefully you too.
Almighty bump for this frustrating problem. I too am on the incorrect CSC on Q...everything works so I just ignore it but I can't help but think I am not getting the reception I would otherwise be getting if all available bands were utilised. I am on n960 FDS and should be on XSA CSC but I'm on XSG.
I'm not sure there are even Android 10 roms available for XSA region code yet.

We might be near because Samsung keeps releasing android Q to more regions for n9 and s9 now started to get its update.
I'm not sure how they've done it but there is a fix if you are prepared to flash a non-stock rom or already have.
You can flash either Alexandr's Devbase or Zeus Rom beta from the zeus telegram group, and before flashing rename the rom zip to include your appropriate csc followed by _. Read first post of devbase for details, it worked a treat for me and I didn't even think XSA was available for Q roms yet.

that doesnt work for my device i have an n960n and the only supported csc are KOO, KTC, LG, SKC, i can change to one of those in alexandr's rom ( by the way i love that rom and i came back from it to pie because of this problem) but no to n960f csc's so i guess i will have to wait until there is a mod to change csc in android q.
thanks for your reply.
Maybe you can try with Samkey software, but it's not free.
Even I am in this boat, I downloaded an n960f rom and tried to flash the csc on my n960n.
And yeah it failed.
Wish it were an easier process.
I just want the random reboots to go away on q.

they offer only sim unlock, i didnt see in their web page that they can change phone model, your reply made me think if we could change the bootloader/model completely with a tool ( my friend has some of those he uses them to unlock/repair/flash phones).

No need to reset device to change csc if you already have a multi csc firmware for example OXM. Use phone info or something similar from play store to check.
I used samkey (purchased 2 credits from ebay for $5) and in a minute changed csc to THL
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Buy samkey credits from ebay (you need 2 to change csc) you get them in a form of a username and password
Download samkey from theit website
Connect N10+ to your pc with the cable you got with your phone
Open samkey, input username and password, input THL in the csc field and execute. (my first attempt failed with a server error the second one suceeded)

thanks for your input but this model of note 9 - n960n is made for Korea and i has only 4 csc - KOO/LG/KTC/SKC , these csc have limitations when used outside South Korea which is the case for me, because of this i have network issues so i want to change it to a n960f model or multi csc so i dont have those network limitations.
i changed my phones csc to multi csc with a flashable tool "csc selector" and i works great but this works only in PIE, samsung made some changes in Q and it doesnt work.
Oh, ok, didn't know the story about n960n.
I need to change too!
Update
I was able to change csc in Q for our n960n and this is how i did:
I flashed Superstable rom and the Dev included the option during installation in aroma to chose a different csc, i keept using the rom for 2-3 days and didn't have any issues, but before returning to Pie i did tested Dr.ketan's Q rom rom and Alexndr's-devbase Q rom and in both cases i still had my csc.
Can i change n9600n firmware to n960f ?
Please advice me, I am new to this kind of works, thanks in advance

If you mean N960N, Yes you can as i mentioned couple post ago.
You need to root your phone by following the instructions in note 9 guides forum, then go to note 9 rom development forum and choose the one you prefer.

Samsung pay for galaxy watch 3

Hi I bought BT version of galaxy watch 3. Everything is working great for now, only I tried to install samsung pay but I always get some error:
Tried this one:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...-gear-1-7-3006-android-apk-download/download/
Help mi to get Samsung pay to work.
Thank you
SM-R840 or SM-R850?
Btw, but you know it is not in all counies...
A
enabled
B
not working
For instance Germany.
DBT Phone + DBT GW3 = forget S Pay.
Best Regards
SM-R840
Okay.
Now if not Top Secret.
Country... better to know Sales Code aka CSC...
Example...
KOO is Korea... but seems Samsung Pay not work in Korea...
Working country is for example... USA... with Sales Code aka CSC aka active CSC:
Code:
XAR
If you are from US... so good chain to increase your luck is:
Samsung Phone with Sales Code from US
+
Watch with CSC from US
+
Valid allowed supported Credit Cards for Spay...
Because this is also 1 funtastic phenomenon... not all Cards are samsung Pay enabled as it seems...
If you wish to try CSC change... then Combination firmware and Stock Firmware allready leaked... but nobody tested yet... IMHO...
Only as info.
Best Regards
Did anyone figure out how to chnage region on GW3 yet?
Slovenia... As I know official Samsung pay is not available in Slovenia... But also google pay is not available and I installed it on my phone and it is working great
@Veles128
All I know is Samsung increased Security in Tizen 5.5...
But this means NOT... old tricks not work...
In theory all leaked what """we""" need.
Combination FirmwareS to have Root access...
Stock Firmware to get back to """Normality"""
My suggestion is to check first if Reading and Backup work in CSA partition...
This could be done without play with Firmware...
Attempt to copy to PC:
Code:
sdb pull /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
Code:
sdb pull /csa/imei/prodcode.dat
Attempt to show only:
Code:
sdb shell
Code:
cat /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
Code:
cat /csa/imei/prodcode.dat
Try and see if this is working...
Maybe Samsung protected CSA again like in old Gear S2 times...
Best Regards
Any option to get working google pay apk for tizen 5.5? ? That would be super awesome
GW3 stock firmware us
hi, anyone have access or know where can I download the official US rom for SM-R840.
By mistake I did the *#243203855# install KOO and not able to get it back to original firmware.
Thanks
@roriii
Can you maybe explain what exact you wish...
Because IMHO SM-R840 is BT only device... this means netOdin files contains ALL CSC... also for USA:
Code:
XAR
Here I have uploaded few files...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83275439&postcount=29
No idea if this is """official""" enough for you... because leaked files...

hello and can you describe to me how you managed to change the region. I want to change to the American one to have samsung pay but I don't know how to handle it. Please help.
Did anybody figure how to change csc on Tizen 5?
I need S-pay on the GW3,
I know the previous generations of watches had S-pay pre-installed, Wonder why they left it out this time around. Hope someone soon figures a way out to change the CSC or even better Hope Samsung roles an update out with S-Pay installed

Firmware and csc question

Hello everyone I live in th u.s. and use my a71 on att. I bought my phone at rent a center and it has buc1 firmware and the csc is TTT (Trinidad and tobago). I would like to install a custom rom because I recently rooted and the smartview feature which I use often isn't working right and none of the fixes are either. My question is this: which firmware should I install to get a clean slate and possibly try a custom rom? Not sure why a phone in the US was sold with Trinidad firmware. I would prefer not to flash the stock ttt firmware if possible is there a better option? Thanks guys
hi friend, I have been almost in same situation (different country) and i would like to share with you my experience maybe it will help if you are still looking. some options / features included in the ROM / OS depend on where the device was sold or aimed to be sold initially by Samsung, for example 2 phones same model, same tech specs, same android version, if one is old in Europe with a certain firmware, it may not have same all options / features as same one sold in US or elsewhere .... i bought a device sold initially in Italy and couldn't find samsung pay or fm radio app in it (even that device does support it from hardware side) and not possible to install it as third-partie app either in anyway possible, and it didnt show up even with a custom ROM .... so i did some dig in and found THAILAND firmware for same android version have it by default + others things i was looking for such as native call recording .... basically long story short, as longer you already rooted it, we can forget about warranty, which should gives you more freedom to install wharever you want ... a custom rom is specially to enhance perf by removing some apps and adding some more features that arents includeed in stock firmware ... but if you are okay with basic stock firmware and all its apps and contenents you don't have to install ncessarry a custom rom ... you can juts look for a specific firmware REGION/COUNTRY that have the option you are looking for and go fo it, like i did from Italy to Thailand (while im living in whole different country of those two), and all will be working fine for you ^^

Question Need advice for the G998U/DS and living in France

Hi guys,
I need advice for the s21 Ultra that i bought on Rakuten. In the description the seller said it was an international/US version and at this time I didn't know that it could cause problems knowing that I live in France. I have the G998U/DS version
For now the phone is working perfectly. I don't have all the problem i can see in other thread like the broken GPS, a poor network, wallet broken etc. Everithing is ok.
But i need advice for the last update with Android 13. Actually i get the Android 12. And of course the phone does not offer me any updates. I know this is because i have a US version and i live in France.
So question 1 : Do you think I will eventually get the update in the future ?
Question 2 : If I install the update by flashing the phone, won't I have all the problems that others have with this us version and living in France ?
Thanks for your support fox.

Hi,
If everything is working out of the box, then you shouldn't worry much. It's always better to install the update via OTA. It doesn't matter where you live/use the device, as long as there's an update for your device (Snapdragron chipset and CSC), it should automatically show up. If you want to install the update manually, then it's better to download the official update via Frija and install the update via Odin.
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer. It help me a lot.
About the update, i read everywhere that where we live/use the device is impact the update. For now i don't have any update that show up. I am in Android 12 and i should have the android 13 update.
Lot of people said that i probably never had the update because it's an import us version and live in France.
What about that ? Do you thinks i will get the update in the future ?
Thanks again
It seems you are on a March update. I have a feeling your device's was a locked device which was then unlocked...I could be wrong through...https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G998U/ Here's what I could pull up regarding your device's update. You need to careful on which file you download as I don't see any OXM ROMs for US devices...they are provided by carriers.
Ok,
I think in my case, update will not be possible. I'll stay in Andoird 12 until next phone. Never buy again in Rakuten ahah.
Thanks for all your help.

Just try and not working but that was a good idea
When i chek on Frija, he give me this :
What do you think about this update ?
Edit : this firmware contains these files
If you are sure of the CSC, go ahead. The reason is yours is not OXM rom so you have to be extremely careful when choosing the files.

Ok, thanks, i think i'll do the update.
To be sure, you mention a OXM ROM but i can see that i have o OYN rom like you see in this screen :
I really can't place the device's region. There's no region called GCF in Samfrew. I feel it's a subset of another region. Dunno
Finally I did not dare to flash my phone, I am too afraid that I can not use it anymore
Anyway, thank you very much for your help
