I succesfully changed my CSC to XAR to enable samsung pay. SM-R770. - Samsung Gear S3

Hello Everyone. I have some awesome news for anyone who wants to activate samsung pay on ANY gear s3 classic (SM-R770). I have successfully changed my CSC to XAR (which is the csc for USA)
DISCLAIMER: this is a detailed account of what i did and it worked for me. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Ok so first i want to say thanks to @BiggPharma , @xedamen , @Honestly Annoying , and @adfree as i used guides produced by each of them to do this.
What youll need:
Netodin3
files for current firmware. I got mine from @xedamen post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/rom-samsung-gear-s3-classic-sm-r770-t3646789
files for the stock combonation firmware from @HonestlyAnnoying post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r770-t3584402
shout out to @BiggPharma for the guide that relates to SM-R760
INSTRUCTIONS:
----------------
1. Check reactivation lock is off
- On your phone, go to Samsung Gear App
- Go to Setttings Tab, choose "Find my Gear"
- Make sure Reactivation Lock is off
2. Connect your watch to your PC
- Hold down the home/power button until you see the "rebooting" screen
- Release the home/power button then quickly press it three times to bring up the boot menu
- Quick press the home/power button to cycle through the menu to "Download (wireless)"
- Long press the home/button to confirm the menu selection
- The phone will then go into WPS mode
- Double press the home/power button to change to AP mode
- On your PC, enable WiFi and connect to the access point on you watch.
NOTE: Until you successfully connect to NetOdin, your watch may display red text stating "Connection Timeout" - this is OK
- Open up NetOdin. You should now be connected to your watch (you should see the IP in the NetOdin window and "Connected to xx.xx.xx.xx" on your watch face.
NOTE: I had to disable Windows Defender public firewall temporarily for NetOdin to work properly
3. Flash combination firmware
- Load the unzipped .tar.md5 file into the "AP" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking then click "Start". This should take about 10 minutes to complete after clicking "Start".
NOTE: I reccomend unchecking auto-reboot in the NetOdin3 program so it doesnt restart after flashing.
4. Flash CSC file from stock firmware
- Load the unzipped CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "CSC" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking then click "Start". This should take about 1-2 minutes to complete after clicking "Start".
5. Factory reset
- In your Gear, go to Settings > Gear Info > Reset Gear > Confirm
NOTE: BiggPharma got a warning at this stage that Reactivation Lock was on. Don't know why they got this message as they had definitely turned it off in step 1. They ignored it (no guts, no glory!) and was fine. Your mileage may vary. I however did not have this happen
6. Set CSC code
- In the Gear, go to the Tizen Keystring app
NOTE: screenshots of what your interface will look like: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74591475&postcount=13
- Type in the following code exactly: *#272*719434266344#
- You will be taken to a list of CSC codes that you can scroll through. Find the code you want to change to and select it. I used "XAR" for US so that i could use samsung pay.
7. Reflash complete current stock ROM
- Load the unzipped CSC_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "CSC" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Load the unzipped AP_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "AP" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Load the unzipped BL_xxx.tar.md5 file into the "BL" box of NetOdin, wait for it to finish checking.
- Click "Start". This should take about 15 minutes to complete after clicking "OK".
You are done!
i also should mention after i put the current stock firmware it got a FOTA update to R770XXU2BQH1.
ALSO shoutout to @adfree for being so awesome and helping xedamen which enabled me to do all this. he also pmed me and replyed to my comments with some useful info.
To everyone who helped me thanks a billion. you made my birthday (today) AMAZING.

I will try to do it with my watch, I want to change it from spanish to korean to be able to use my korean cards, cause spay is not even activated in Spain xdd

You could try Sales Code:
Code:
KOO
For Korea...
But no guarantee it will help...
It depend also on Firmware Version... and for SM-R770 we have only BQC5 public... not BQH1 nor CQK3 (Tizen 3)...
SM-R760 user can play with more Firmware:
BQC5 or BQH1 or CQK3
See posts, where users after downgrade from CQK3 lost Spay... for instance:
Code:
SER - Russia
Also not forget the Phone part...
It is an chain/riddle/puzzle... to find all working incredients...

Sorry if what I'm posting confused you.
3. This is where you flash the FACTORY combination firmware.
4. The csc that you are flashing is from whatever firmware you are currently using. The reason for this is because if the csc is downgraded I read that it gets put into a bootloop that soft locks your watch. So you have factory firmware with your same csc.
6. You shouldn't be flashing anything in this step. This step is basically going into a certain menu and changing the watches internal sales code.

Yes you can.
Firmwares what you need is: R720XXU2AOJ2 (Combination) / R720XXU2EQH1 (Regular) or R732XXU2AOJ2 / R732XXU2EQH1 based on your model.

Good news! I managed to do it. I will send you the links shortly.
Process is similar to Gear S3.

I'd like to change csc on my gear s3 frontier
Does the procedure work for it or is it just for classic?

big thanks to @namrepus2010, @Honestly Annoying and @adfree for the tutorial and all files.
I successfully change my CSC to XAR following your tutorial.
But now I have one question
My Gear S3 was updated to Tizen 3.0.0.1. Can I change my CSC back to ZTO using this combination file or I have to use the CQK2 combination firmware to do this?

At the moment 2BQC2 and 2CQK2 are same Software Revision like:
Code:
[B][COLOR="Green"]2[/COLOR][/B]CQK3
[B][COLOR="Green"]2[/COLOR][/B]CQL1
So you can use both Combination Firmware... if you want.
Best Regards

So friggin awesome!!! Bought my "International" version on the cheap and didn't have SPAY. NOW I DO!!!! Thanks so much for this tutorial!!!! Thanks @namrepus2010, @Honestly Annoying and @adfree for all of your help to this forum. Now, if we could just figure out a way to get android wear on this thing!

I have compared CSC versions with people who have Spay on their watches and found we have the same versions. I don't believe it is the CSC that activates*Spay installation. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing works.*I even tried GPS spoofing and that didn't work. It did install Spay into Gear Manager but not onto the watch.

Me too man. I did a full dump from my watch and compared to a friend who bought his watch on US (and is able to use SPay here In Brazil) and what I found was that SW_Configuration.xml inside CSC folder was different. Everything else is the same.
I've tried to change the file but the CSC folder is RO.

There are tons of reasons to flash a phone or a tablet with a custom rom. Why would I flash my watch?
What does this rom have that the stock rom does not? It seems all that happens is Samsung Pay is disabled.

Problems with my Gear S2

Hi. I recently purchased a second hand Gear S2. I managed to connect it to a Huawei P10, but after turning off the bluetooth by mistake and re-enabling it, the watch asks to do a Factory Reset in order to connect with a device that was already connected with it before . After that, I managed to connect it with my older Glaxy A3 2017 and tried to update the software, but surprise, a pop-up shows saying "Your Gear has been modified. Software Update is not avaible.". Ideas how to fix that? Or this issue is because my Gear S2 (purchased second hand) is a Live Demo Unit?

Look at Rear Case/Back Cover...
In theory you will find... NOT FOR SALE...
Anyway... if you know which exact model name...
SM-R720X
or
SM-R732X
or
You can flash Retail Firmware... via netOdin...
Better you choose correct Firmware, according to Model Name...
Only as info.

Yeah, it says Not For Sale. Model number is SM-R720X. Can you please give me a link for firmware download?
Check first Firmware on Device... with this Code:
Code:
*#1234#
Problem with LDU... Live Demo Unit
Since EPK5 it looks like Firmware detect LDU... and disable WiFi for use with netOdin...
And for valid FOTA use... you need "valid" Sales Code/CSC + Firmware Combination... otherwise you can again not update via Samsung FOTA...

When entering the code *#1234#, the watch shows AP : R720XXU2AOIL and CSC : R720OXX2AOIL .
Also seem like the computer can find the AP connection from the watch and also it can connect, and netOdin does detect the watch too.
Try FIRST with older BOKK Firmware:
https://www.file-upload.net/download-12731427/smR720_BOKK_OXA.zip.html
Be carefully to download the 600 MB package... NOT any .EXE file.
I hope you will find netOdin + Instruction... otherwise ask...

OK, after that, what do I need to do next?
If you successfully flashed BOKK Firmware...
You can check if valid Sales Code/SCS is set... and you have your languages...
Because you have now OXX region Firmware... and I have only OXA BOKK...
If BOKK is on device... check via Phone if you get FOTA Update...
If not... then post result...
So we could try something... to make it "compatible"...

G9650 (Snapdragon) CSC Change/ Stock firmware change (NON ROOT)

Hi everyone,
Recently I flashed a stock ROM on my SM-G9650 and wandered around quite some time before gathering all the information to flash the firmware. Now I’m here gathering most (if not all) the information anyone might need to flash stock firmware to your device. This method does NOT require root and does NOT trip KNOX
First of all:
-Disclaimer-
I will not be responsible if your device gets bricked. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. This is a guide, and even though its pretty straight forward, stuff happens.
Now, onto flashing the device:
A few prerequisites prior to flashing the device:
- ODIN (latest): https://odindownload.com/
- USB Drivers for Samsung: https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy/others/android-usb-driver-for-windows
- An ORIGINAL Cable for your device (Preferably the one that came with it).
- WinRAR or 7zip
- A backup of your data (Optional)
- Patience and time
Ok, now onto the flashing:
First things first: this is a guide for the G9650 (Hong Kong) Variant with UNLOCKED bootloader. If your device model is different, find a thread according to your device.
1- Go to: https://www.sammobile.com/forum/threads/40735-Galaxy-S9-G960-multi-CSC-pit-language , and find the correct Multi CSC for your country/Region. (I live in the Caribbean but chose to use ZTO because it has LTE+ and VoLTE, and the only bloatware is Word, Excel, PowerPoint, LinkedIn and One Drive.). Once you find your CSC, head over to https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and download your desired Firmware. Here is a link for CSC code meaning: https://www.androidsage.com/2017/07...specific-product-code-csc-and-country-region/
2- Once downloaded, create a folder on your desktop and move the zip file to it, then extract. (You can choose any folder you want, I recommend desktop because it is easier to find)
3- Install the USB Drivers previously downloaded.
4- Reboot your pc (By actually opening windows and clicking reboot.)
5- Open Odin and search for the folder you placed the Firmware in.
6- Load BL, AP, CP and CSC (NOT HOME_CSC) onto the correct slots.
Now onto the phone part:
1- Unlock your phone and go to Samsung switch.
2- Back up your data. (If you do not have personal data, then skip)
3- Factory reset the phone, through the settings option.
4- Wait for the phone to boot into the welcome screen.
5- Turn off the device
6- While holding down the Bixby button and the volume up, press the power
7- When the Samsung logo shows, let go of the power and Bixby buttons. Keep holding the Volume up button until you boot into recovery.
8- With the navigation keys, factory reset the phone, once completed, wipe cache and data.
9- Turn off the device.
10- Turn on the device while holding down the Bixby button and volume down. Once the Samsung logo shows, let go of the Bixby button. Keep holding the volume down.
11- Once in the download mode (blue screen with an android), let go of the volume down. Press volume up to select download mode.
Back to the PC part:
1- Once the device is in download mode, connect it via cable and wait for ODIN to recognize it. (a blue box indicating COM port is the indicator that ODIN has recognized the device)
2- Since the BL, AP, CP and CSC have been loaded onto the correct slots, and the device is connected and recognized, go into options and make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset time are checked.
3- Press start and BE PATIENT AND CAREFULL, Flashing a firmware takes time. If your cable breaks connection with ODIN, YOU MAY brick your device.
4- Once completed, your phone will boot up on its own, reboot it manually.
Congratulations, you have just flashed a stock, almost bloatware free Samsung Firmware.
If you have any question, feel free to ask.
- To Mods and Admins: Forgive me if I break any rules, this is my first thread. Just let me know what went wrong and I will fix it ASAP

You might want to consider changing the links you have posted for Odin - The latest version is 3.13.1 - The xda link has Odin 3.10.6 and the first Odin link has 3.12.x
Sammobile.com is one of the more reliable sources for Firmware & They conveniently have a link to Odin 3.13.1 as well..
XDA also has a link to the latest version of Odin here:
https://forum-xda--developers-com.c.../odin-available-3-13-1-oreo-fws-t3755957/page
It's strongly recommended to use Odin 3.13.1 to Flash Oreo Firmware ??

https://forum-xda--developers-com.c.../odin-available-3-13-1-oreo-fws-t3755957/page
It's strongly recommended to use Odin 3.13.1 to Flash Oreo Firmware ??

The link i posted has ODIN 3.13.1, when you open it in the browser (request desktop site on mobile), under the first image is the button for it. I used that link and said (Latest) so that when you head there you get the latest odin. Also, the link for the firmware is sammobile . I now see that its not very intuitive so i will add the link for the firmware (just have to type the device model and download the desired firmware. Thanks for the heads up

I have been out of the Android game since the S7 Edge. I just swapped from iPhone 8+ to a S9+ and love it so far. Question I have is which firmware can I use to debloat my S9+? It's on T-Mobile and I dl the stock firmware from the posted link but I don't think this is the debloated firmware. Any help would be appreciated as I don't know what all this CSC stuff is.

I would highly recommend searching the forums for your variant since it is a Snapdragon and probably has locked bootloader. This guide is for G9650, even though the process is basically the same.
I'm familiar with how to flash with Odin but just don't know what debloated stock ROM is compatible.
---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------
I don't see a section dedicated to just the T-Mobile version on the S9+.

Make sure the downloaded model matches your device model. For a US variant its pretty hard to find one since most (if not all) put some kind of bloat on them. Search for: Bloat free firmware g965U, and look around.

I bought an unlocked s9+ from ebay and later found out that its country sale came from Panama. My canadian GSM network does work on the device, but certain apps like samsung members show spanish promotions or samsung pay not being available.*
Can the csc code and country be changed in this case so i am able to get the canadian setting and access.

How To Guide Guide to root Galaxy S22 Ultra (B/E/N/0), unlock bootloader and flash official firmware (noob friendly)

Code:
Your warranty is now void.
If you root your device, Your KNOX status will be tripped.
You can still pass the safety net after you root if you follow the instructions.
Sorry for USA models, you can't root unless you can unlock your bootloader
You will lose ALL your data if you unlock your bootloader. Do back up your data.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, or dead SD cards although it is not possible
Please do some research if you have any concerns about doing this to your device
How to flash official firmware? (not the root and unlock bootloader part!)
You will need:
A Galaxy S22 Ultra and common sense
Samsung Odin (the flashing tool of the official firmware)
https://dl2018.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.14.1.zip
You need to extract the zip file and you are going to use the file Odin3_v3.14.1.exe inside the folder.
Samsung Android USB Driver for Windows
Samsung Android USB Driver | Samsung Developers
You need the driver only if you are developing on Windows and want to connect a Samsung Android device to your development environment over USB.
developer.samsung.com
Double-click and install the exe file.
Optional: If you just want to change CSC, /efi/imei/mps_code.dat is where you can edit after rooting the phone
Replace the CSC you would like to be in the file
If you like to download the firmware of your carrier, follow the instructions bellow
Release 1.0.3 · zacharee/SamloaderKotlin
Contribute to zacharee/SamloaderKotlin development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
Download the platform you want to download to. (Windows)
You need to extract the zip and double-click open the file Bifrost.exe inside the folder.
You need to fill in the Model, and Region, press the Check for Updates button and the Download button.
How to find the Model: on your phone → Settings → About Phone → The third row says the Model number and you need to remove the part with the part of /xx, for example, SM-S908B/DS and you only need to type SM-S908B
How to find the Region: You can check the Region at this link https://samfrew.com/model/SM-S908B/
You need to find find a three-letter word depending on your carrier and country and type it in Bifrost, for example, EVR
Press the Check for Update button and download it with the Download button.
Put it to a place you can easily find, ie. Desktop.
After downloading it, find the file SM-xxxxx_x_xxxxxxxx_xxx.zip.enc4 on the place you put it and change the document format from .enc4 to .zip. Then, double-click and extract the file.
Open Odin3_v3.14.1.exe and turn off your phone. Connect a side of your USB to your PC/Laptop, and keep pressing volume up and down together until you go to Download Mode. Put another side of the USB into your phone. When you arrive at Download Mode press volume up. Go back to Odin3_v3.14.1.exe:
-Click on BL and select BL_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
-Click on AP and select AP_xxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
-Click on CP and select CP_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
-Click on CSC and select CSC_OMC_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
Optional: add PIT file if you have to repartition.
Press Start to flash the firmware, after that is done, your device will automatically reboot to the system.
How to unlock the bootloader?
Go to your phone → Settings → About Phone → Software information → Press Build number 6 times until you see the notice “You’re now a developer”
Go in Settings → Developer options → enable OEM unlocking
Power off your phone first. Then, connect a side of your USB to your PC/Laptop, press Vol Up + Down and then plug in the USB while keeping Vol Up+Down pressed.
When you arrive at Download Mode, long press volume up until you see the black screen. Confirm to unlock the bootloader and you will erase your device.
How to root your phone?

Install Magisk https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v24.1/Magisk-v24.1.apk on your phone. You need to allow the app to install other apps so that you can install the apk.
Transfer AP_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 in the firmware you download from your PC/Laptop to your phone.
Open Magisk on your phone and press the install button in the Magisk column. Select 'Select and Patch a File', 'Let's Go and find the AP_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 and select it. You can have a cup of coffee if you like when you waiting for the patching of the file.
After finishing the patching, transfer the file magisk_patched-24xxx_xxxxx.tar in the Downloads folder back to your PC/Laptop.
Turn off your phone. Connect a side of your USB to your PC/Laptop, and keep pressing volume up and down together until you go to Download Mode. Put another side of the USB into your phone. When you arrive at Download Mode press volume up. Open Odin3_v3.14.1.exe on your PC/Laptop:
Click on BL and select BL_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
-Click on AP and select magisk_patched-24xxx_xxxxx.tar
-Click on CP and select CP_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
-Click on CSC and select CSC_OMC_xxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5
Optional again: add PIT file if you have to repartition
When it finishes flashing, it will automatically reboot and you can gain root access.
Optional: If you want to have the safety net passed (most of the banking apps use it), then you need to install the zip
as a Magisk module in Magisk https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases
How? Go to Magisk → Modules → install from storage and select the zip you downloaded.
How to update the system without losing roots and data?
Download the new firmware of the phone and update the Magisk App if it is not up to date. Unzip the firmware you download and transfer the AP file to your phone. Patch your AP file and transfer it back to your PC (in /sdcard/Download)
Power off the phone and reboot to Download mode
Open Odin and put the new magisk_patched file in the AP slot, the BL and CP from your new firmware into their respective slots and importantly *HOME_CSC* into the CSC slot.
Press start and let Odin do its stuff.
When flashed, do not wipe.
Press and hold Vol-down and Power
As soon as the screen appears, let go of all buttons.
Within moments without any further user intervention your phone will reboot into your updated Magisk rooted mode, data intact.

Looks like Samsung changed some things there. XID firmware was available for flashing to my ex - S21 ultra . Now , in S22 ultra, I see different types of regions (SM-S908E and SM-S908B).

you won't likely brick your device because I have taken a look and both devices are identical. So, I think it is fine to flash

I just made a research to the internet and I found that SM-S908E is probably different variant from SM-S908B .
SM-S908E is a snapdragon edition while SM-S908B is Exynos.
So , I think I cannot flash XID firmware for snapdragon edition to an Exynos version
I'm sad now

Oh, sorry. I haven't noticed about the SoC. The SoC in Europe is Snapdragon. So I don't think you should change it.
If you just want to change CSC, /efi/imei/mps_code.dat is where you can edit. Both firmware is the same except the CSC, no difference between them
My preordered s22u will come with snapdragon (sm-s9080 BRI ), I will use CHC csc, also like to have call recording.

S908E = snapdragon

Some countries have both version listed, you needs to to download one according your device
You can check about phone model number to see which one you own
