How to change the region of the Watch3 SM-R845F LTE? - Samsung Galaxy Watch 3

Hello, so I have a Galaxy Watch3 45mm LTE SM-R845F and I want to change the region from XXV to a CSC code that has Samsung Pay to use Samsung Pay but I don't know where to start. I have looked around in the forum to find some guides but they are mostly outdated in 2020 so I'm asking in 2022 if is it possible to change the region of the watch so that Samsung Pay shows up and I can actually use it. Many thanks!
Fun fact: Samsung Pay does work on Samsung phones sold here in Vietnam but for some whatever reason the watch doesn't have the Samsung Pay app

With which files? The video is for 845, not for 845f.. Could you tell me which files exactly you use?

For me I can flash all firmwares like R845FXXU1CTJ5, but then it's impossible to flash combinated file, to then root with sdb.. Some combination files brick my watch and others don't work in Odin....

I'm not quite sure tbh, it's been a while. I found some combination files for the R845F on easy-firmware but it is paid though .

Is Bixby linked to the CSC?

Hi all!
I've got a 9500 from Hong Kong in the UK. I knew Sammy Pay was linked to the CSC and so I get offers from there instead of UK (but it works fine with a UK card).
I just tried to use Bixby Vision, I scanned a mars bar and clicked the shopping link and everything came out in Chinese!!
Any ideas how to sort that and change it to English??
Many Thanks!
Amit
I don't use Bixby (including Vision) and so probably cannot help that much however I went to try and when it starts it says "........Available services vary depending on your phone, country and service provider."
So I think you might be correct, phone is obviously the model, service provider is network and (I'm guessing here but) country would be via CSC?

In the CSC features, there are several lines for which sites to use for the search results, news etc for Bixby.
We figured this out with my USA Tmobile CSC patch project, rather @masri1987 pointed out to me that his Bixby vision was giving him Korean search results ?

Not without root unfortunately
In my case the lines for these are in the CSC's csc_features.xml file which is under /system/omc/(my carrier's folder)/ which can't be edited without root.
These are the lines just in case you decide to root and want to manually change them :
CscFeature_Vision_ConfigImageSearch>PTRXX</CscFeature_Vision_ConfigImageSearch>
<CscFeature_Vision_ConfigPlace>FSRXX</CscFeature_Vision_ConfigPlace>
<CscFeature_Vision_ConfigPlaceUnit>FETXX</CscFeature_Vision_ConfigPlaceUnit>

Star thank you!
So if I root, I lose Sammy pay and android pay but gain UK features, but can't use Sammy pay which is what I changed the CSC for haha!
Thank you for your time and input KT, it's much appreciated!!
One last question, can I root, make the changes and then unroot and still use android pay and Sammy pay (oh and the banking apps)?

If you root KNOX will be permanently tripped so Samsung Pay will never work again, but all the other mobile payment apps should be fine after unrooting.

Convert Note9 SM-N960U to SM-N9600?

Hi.
That is basically the doubt...Can the N960U variant be converted to the N9600?
There is a firmware for the CSC MXO, which if I'm not mistaken is the free firmware for Mexico.
The purpose of the conversion is to make Samsung Pay work...
Thanks, I read your comments.
Nope

They are not the same phone. Period. If it were possible, you would have a very nice looking brick. This has been discuss ad nauseum in this forum. You can search for it if you don't believe me. You can not cross flash.
you can't convert phones. they're hardware not some unplayable video or jpeg file....lol

ECG Outside US? Need Directions?

I received my Galaxy watch three yesterday here in Canada. I know officially the new features such as ECG are not available here. I'm doubtful they will be anytime soon. How can I somehow get these features outside of the US on my device? I'm pretty sure it's possible but I'm not sure where to start and look for proper watch three instructions that won't mess up my device. Thank you.

Thanks adfree.
Both BP and ECG require a samsung phone right?
Does VO2Max as well?
Any tips on changing the region for GW3 or has that not been figured out yet?

There's some discussion on the subject here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/samsung-galaxy-watch-3/features-available-t4144413
I still can't figure out the proper procedure for the Watch 3. ?
I was using online chat to Samsung support yesterday in the UK and he told me that the ECG and blood pressure monitor would be working when I receive the watch next Friday.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a copy of the message transcript although I guess I could ask for it.
Does anyone know if this is true?
@gsw5700
Sure...

If your order is from South Korea... and you get SM-R845N or SM-R840 with KOO CSC...

The SM-R840 model? Did you do this as soon as you received it or did you update everything on the watch first?
Does Samsung pay still and all the other apps work fine?
Changing CSC to KOO doesn't enable the missing features?

Yes it's the R840 model, Tizen 5.5.0.1, build BTG6.
I don't use Samsung Pay, but everything I use seems to work fine
I installed the BP and ECG option using the "without a PC" option. Worked like a charm. Many thanks!
One question: will there be app updates available for the patched versions?
WIthout PC option worked perfectly on US BTE model.
Without PC method validated for France model, thanks ! Works great.
In addition, is there any method to get SPO2 ? Like through a VPN or something ? Thks

I know the contacts do not sync for us pixel 4 XL owners, but Samsung store person told me that other features need Samsung phone. Hope someone can confirm.
I followed the video and the new SHM app appeared on my watch for a second but when I clicked it, it just closed and then disappeared.
Now, whenever I try to install the "Retailmode" app, I get the message on my phone that the APK was installed, I see the samsung accessory service transferring it to my phone but the the wear app pops up a toast saying "failed to install the app".
I checked under my wear app's list of installed app and it's not there (should it appear there)? Any idea what's going on? This is a US model GW3.

Can you give maybe additional and more specific background infos?
GW3 means what?
BT like SM-R840 or LTE device like SM-R845U?
Firmware Version?

I think I had the same issue. Had to update Samsung Health on the phone (not Samsung Health Monitor, which is the app for BPM and ECG).
Well I finally got the S Health App update for my watch and it's there now.

Is it released in Italy?
Maybe it is like in FR, Spo2 is not available yet. According to samsung it is because they're not authorized yet. But might be just because their sensors and systems are flawed or just suck.
Apple and Withings had this validated in no time...

I have no idea, but I see italy is not in their blacklist (unlike France and other countries). Being SpO2 one of coronavirus symptoms, hope this gets finalized soon...

Do you know if there is an unlocked version of s health that would allow me to use the sp02 widget? i changed my CSC from canada to USA and then to KOO to get the new update, BP and ECG work fine and i can see the widget in the wearable app but it wont let me save it to the watch and it doesnt appear in s health, i have a SM-R820 on tizen 5.5.0.1 R820XXU1CTH8 paired with a Pixel 4xl. Do you think it could be because I'm in canada that its restricted?

Change csc of galaxy watch active 2

Hey ,
I am from india,
Does anyone have any idea on how to successfully change the csc of watch active 2 to get ecg , bp and samsung pay .
The technoproz method ( mentioned below) on youtube seems to be old and outdated.
Moreover it requires going back to tizen 4.x , which in my opinion is a restriction now as with latest fw you cannot downgrade..
There is a method which is risk free and you can use ECG and BP Feature but Samsung Pay is still not working.
Let me know if you want to know or already found a way?
