So, I basically got my Gear S3 Frontier from UAE and it had Samsung Pay installed in it but I never tried using it, on coming to India I realised I should change my CSC to INU for better compatibility in Samsung pay.. but doing so just made my Samsung Pay to disappear off of my watch.. on more research I found out that Samsung pay for gear was never officially launched in India... Which is weird because it has been quite some time since Samsung pay was launched in India.. people use it on their phones. Anyways, back to the topic I switched my CSC again to XAR and got back the Samsung pay app however, it doesn't support any of the cards that I have also, it asks for 5 digit zip codes while adding cards whereas India has 6 digit zip codes. Does anyone have any idea or would like to suggest any other CSC which might support more Indian cards? Also, any news on whether Samsung plans to release SPay on gear in India?

I have the same issue, but only with Citibank. They refuse to allow authentication unless the proper 6 digit pincode has been inputted.
I might have a solution, but it requires someone to test it out..Link below

This is the method I used to change the CSC code on my SM-R760 to an Australian code with a view to setting up Samsung Pay. It took a little hunting around the forums to find all of the information, plus I ran into a few things while I was doing it that didn't seemed to be mentioned elsewhere so I thought I would summarise it all below for us noobs.
All credit to the experts, in particular @adfree
WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
------------------------
NetOdin3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Combination Firmware
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74600026&postcount=26
Your current stock firmware (in my instance, R760XXU2BQC5)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Your CSC code
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163
A PC with a WiFi connection
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 had left "Automatic reboot" ticked in Odin, so once it completed the watch restarted. No issue, except had to go through step 2 to reconnect the watch to the PC before proceeding to the next step
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: I got a warning at this stage that Reactivation Lock was on. Don't know why I got this message as I had definitely turned it off in step 1. I ignored it (no guts, no glory!) and was fine. Your mileage may vary
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 "XSA".
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!
After this, my Gear picked up the OTA update to Tizen 3.0.0.1
So after all of this effort, NAB doesn't currently support Samsung Pay, so I can't 100% confirm this will work, but everything I've read says it should.

I got Gear S3 delivered from Amazon yesterday in India since I was desperate about SPay I tried and followed above method to change CSC and enable SPay. Everything went smooth but now it says "unauthorized modifications have been made to this device". I guess Knox has been tripped. I don't know how, But Samsung Health is working fine.
Now I have requested for a replacement of the same device from Amazon. Can anybody let me know the safest method to enable spay on Indian Gear Device?

Use this method instead to change CSC.. what phone are you using? Make sure you pass safety net and also hide all Samsung apps using magisk hide if you're rooted

Any luck with this so far? My theory is that it's not just the country code because of which some Indian cards fail to get added, it is possible that it checks the list of approved banks based on the region that is set which is why cards used only in India fail to get added as they are not intentionally recognised despite having spay support in India
I am able to use Samsung Pay in India with CSC change method, but I can only able to add HDFC , Others showing not supported , please contact bank [emoji10]

Hello,
So i'm trying to activate the reactivation lock via gear manager and every time i try, once i enter the Samsung account password, it eventually comes back with a popup as:
Reactivation lock failed. You can try again later by going to find my gear> Reactivation lock.
Samsung account info is verified and correct. Phone has been rebooted. Gear has been reset, rebooted and setup. Tried multiple times. I am using it with a non Samsung phone but i doubt that has anything to do with it. Am i the only one who's having the opposite problem of everyone else. Any search on the web just comes up with folks trying to disable it lol and i can't even activate it.
Any help would be appreciated.
No... you are not an Alien...
I can remember similar problems with Gear S2 and S3 users...
I can only not remember where I have read about it...
Nor solution... I mean the "allowed" way...
Maybe start at the beginning...
RL is ON or OFF in your device?
Btw... which Model name?
SM-R760 or SM-R765S or?
You can check this in ODIN Mode... look at Photo here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Oh, I can see:
Gear S3 SM-R765T T-Mobile version (using in Canada)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So only Question if allready Tizen 3 Firmware or something else?
Maybe type *#1234# to compare if latest Firmware:
Code:
R765TUVU3CQL1/R765TTMB3CQL1/R765TUVU3CQL1
Edit 2.
IMHO RL is joke... Running Gag...
But after I saw this info with SM-R765T... used in Cannada...
Ehm.
SM-R765T is US T-Mobile device... IMHO
Maybe the joke is "country" lock... with your Samsung Account...
Sa.sung do funny things to prevent you can reach same destination from all countries in the world...
I mean MCC MNC crap...
Example...
Samsung prevent me to create US Account... because I am in Germany...
So your problem is IMHO not non Samsung fun Phone... Your Problem could be in Samsung Account crap Security...
Edit 4.
If you use Cannada SIM Card in Phone...
MCC and MNC is sent to Samsung... so they can see your are not in US country where SM-R765T is sold...
Similar crap why not everyone can use Samsun Pay... in all countries where Gear S2 or S3 is sold...
Wow i guess no one else has come across this issue. Interestingly i can't do any backups also. Manual button is grayed out and auto don't work. Wonder if it's related.
I am pretty sure you are not unique with your problem...
I can only not remember where I read about this """phenomenon""" with cripple RL...
Maybe here:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearable-Tech/bd-p/wearabletech
Also no idea if Gear S2, S3 or maybe Gear Fit2...
Or maybe here on XDA...
As talking about RL is soooo mystique "illigeal".... huhuhhhhuu...
I would simple remove RL...
But in your case it is not simple... as SM-R765T as it seems...
So not all incredients available or free available...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Search in this Us forum for:
Code:
reactivation lock
Then you can find "similar" RL crap:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...ivation-lock/m-p/257394/highlight/true#M21271
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...k-and-do-any/m-p/285880/highlight/true#M23534
Harhar... okidoki... This could be you...
Again request...
You are able to check Odin screen... if RL is really OFF... and Warranty Void is still:
0 (0x0000)
Example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Are all infos Official or Custom?
Maybe something is wrong... but I have NO Crystal Ball to look or smell your device config...
Maybe you have old Samsung Phone or "Samsung Test Phone" in your family... or maybe friends can help you out...
If you really really "need" RL...
You could try by "elemination round"...
But I am pretty sure... it is your country mix related problem...
http://www.mcc-mnc.com/
Your Gear have MCC MNC for US... + CSC...
Your Phone is with Canada SIM imho... so MCC MNC for Canada
Your Samsung Account is locked for Canada SIM... MCC MNC...
So IMHO this is Security """""""""""""""""""""""""""""feature"""""""""""""""""""""""""" from Samsung...
I have no idea... if buggy ehm ugly ehm Samsung Gear Software do there own funny things...
As there are several funny Versions... with Plug in... blabla...
My first days with my SM-R732... I have used BETA Gear Manager Software on my Tizen SM-Z130H...
So I am pretty sure Gear APK and corresponding additional cr.p checks only RL...
This is not really good secured feature... it creates only funny sideeffects...
Samsung Account require also different Account apps... on Gear and Phone...
And we have on Tizen Z-series enough examples where they creates country specific problems... and fixed them only via Firmware update(s)...
So RL have many many co-working system apps on both... Phone + Gear...
Without trying second Phone... best try with Samsung brand...
It will be hard... hard adventure to find solution...
Good Luck.
Or you will wait for samsung help.

Bypass reactivation lock
Hi
I have found a solution for problem with activation lock. I have instruction woith pictures but in Russian(((
I can translate it to you but for a little money
Another easy solution can be found here:
[Guide] Unlock FRP / Deactivate Reactivation lock, Root and recovery for Samsung
Same problem- can't activate reactivation lock. Pixel 2 android 9 and sm-r765a R765AUCU2CRH1. And can't make a backup in wear, can't download app from the watch. Hard reset didn't helped. Site account.samsung.com no agreement offered to confirm. No RL in download mode
@Duumon
No idea if this is limitation if no Samsung Phone with Samsung App is used...
The other idea I have is to check, if Warranty Void is still untouched... this Knox crap...
In Odin Mode... as example look at this Photo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Perfect untouched is:
Code:
WARRANTY VOID : 0 (0x0000)
Only idea... and easy to check.
Best Regards
Perfect untouched is:
Code:
WARRANTY VOID : 0 (0x0000)
I have just like that

Hi, did ypu solve the problem??? I'm having exactly the same problem, in a SM-R765A. Can't download apps from watch and can't activate RL.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------
Hi guys! I found a solution for Duumon problem, exactly the same problem that i had, as adfree said is a country issue with samsung accounts terms. So the only thing you have to do is to enter to samsung account, and before you log in change country, for example i'm in Argentina, i bought my gear s3 frontier on ebay USA, so i changed to USA and then log in, when you log in you will see new terms and conditions, accept and everything is solved, reactivation lock, installing apps from watch, etc.
Hope it works, it worked for me.

Hi, can you give more details about this procedure please? I'm having the same problem with reactivation lock, not able to make backups but more important I cannot remote connect my watch to the smartphone.
Changing the country, what do you mean? In the samsung account or on the smartphone itself? And after that, should I factory reset the smartwatch? Or is it just solved then...getting desperate, already send the watch for repairs for this issue but it seems a security problem like I always thought...

Excellent dude!
Hey guys, it's Latrell.
So I know the solution is already on XDA, but there isn't a proper forum on it, and couldn't find a solution.
So I bricked my Gear S3 frontier (T-Mobile) (SM-R765T) and I'm still trying to find the proper firmware, but at least I can flash it. I was worried that at first I couldn't and I'd have to wait for Samsung to fix it, which would probably be around 2 weeks. And I'm impatient. At least I have my T-Mobile Gear S2 classic and Gear Fit2...
Now if you have the latest (or a flashable firmware that isn't the testing firmware, which I have, so if you need to at least get your Gear S3 started somewhat, let me know and I'll upload it) let me know. I have firmwares, but I'm still flashing them to see which one is the right one. So far no luck...
But I bricked my Gear S3 frontier trying to downgrade from Tizen 3 (specifically 3.0.0.1) because the previous version seemed smoother, but obviously that wasn't a good idea...
Anyways, enough with the rambling... let me show you how to get back to wireless download on your Gear S3 classic or frontier. It's pretty easy.
Step 1: Press and hold onto the power button until it says rebooting, then press the button about 3-5 times, and stop when you get into a menu.
Step 2: Scroll to the Download (Wireless) option until it's green by pressing the power button, then press and hold onto the option until you get the Tizen logo (the blue flower looking thing.)
Step 3: Now here's the part that's going to save you. Press and hold onto the power button for 2 seconds, then let go and press and hold for 1 second. Then repeat until you see "Searching for AP"
Step 4: Double press the power button, and you should see the "Wait for AP connection", and you're done!
EDIT: For the people asking about the "Google FRP lock" even though it's Samsung reactivation lock and you can't sign into a Google account on there, you need the login info or try to reset your password. Samsung has that stuff locked down and you can't pass it.
Now you can use the firmware you've been hunting the internet for.
I hope this helped everybody.
This is what I know... about SM-R765T
The ""good"" news:
Only 3 Firmware versions public released:
Code:
R765TUVU[COLOR="Green"][B]3[/B][/COLOR]CQL1/R765TTMB3CQL1/R765TUVU3CQL1
R765TUVU[B][COLOR="Green"]3[/COLOR][/B]BQI2/R765TTMB3BQI2/R765TUVU3BQI2
[COLOR="Red"][B]R765TUVU2AQA6/R765TTMB2AQA6/R765TUVU2AQA6[/B][/COLOR]
The red marked Version is obsolete... because Samsung Rollback Prevention.
This version is free available here in XDA.
I have also second Firmware with Software Revision 1... free available but also obsolete...
Short summary.
Software Revision 1 free available BUT obsolete.
Software Revision 2 free available BUT obsolete.
We need Software Revision 3 :good:
But I can not find it as free Download... only on paid sites... for money.
To check Software Revision on your device...
Check Odin Screen... example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Code:
AP SWREV: B:
1
or
2
or
3
But as you wrote Tizen 3... you have Software Revision 3... as Bootloader sboot.bin is written...
Only as info.

You must mean reactivation lock. FRP is Google's lock. And reactivation lock is Samsung's lock.
But as far as I know... no. There's no way to bypass it. It's as tough if not tougher than the iCloud lock. There may be a solution on YouTube but I'm not sure.

Hi, sorry to revive this thread, but once in Wireless download mode and i change the AP mode to SM-R770-A301. How do i get it to connect to my Wifi? i have a google onhub router. Reason im asking is because this thing is stuck on a bootloop and wont perform a reset after selecting recovery on the reboot mode screen.
Edit: nevermind, i figured it out, the watch becomes the AP, duh, stupid me, blonde moment.

No, I flashed the watch now. and its asking me to reactivate the google lock. but I don't know the google ID and password. Can you help me to bypass it. :crying:

HI, I am not able to use the watch, as because after restarting first I need to activate it bypass the google activiation lock. its asking me to activate with the ID that was used in first place.

Thank you for your post, I have the same problem with a Galaxy Watch SM-R800 , after I have written a combination file I can't get the "Wait for AP connection" message (Can't get throw Wireless Download step, as I did before with pressing power button twice... watch got briked)...heard that there is a usb cable with the connection on the side of the watch near the bracelet but I can't find it to buy or a pinout to make it

But before check this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/wireless-mode-enter-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3710855/
You can try the trick with Keys... hold release blabla...
Or if the first WPS Mode is stable... you could look into Document... of netOdin:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73503787&postcount=150
Somewhere is text how "they" use WPS Mode...
Maybe this helps you...
Best Regards
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So I flashed today and i had the wrong version.
Now I cant get to waiting for ap. I can get logo up but when i hold power for one sec repeatedly watch just turns off.

Don't be shy...
More infos... what where when?
Nobody has Crystal Ball...
You have what?
SM-R765A for USA ATT or something "else"...
Firmware packages have funny names aka file names for better identification...
If this is not Top Secret... maybe tell what you have flashed...
Example.
Code:
AP_R765AUCU2DSA1_usr.tar.md5
This is 1 of 4 files from Tizen 4 DSA1 Firmware package for SM-R765A ATT...
Best Regards

Hi friend. I flashed combination level 1 or bit 1 to my gear successfully using wireless Odin. But now watch is bricked does not turn on, it goes off after Samsung logo. If I try wireless mode it goes off also after a while on the blue flower page, does not show WPS or AP mode, after while then power off itself. Only stable thing is Odin mode. I am not good in soldering. I don't want to damage watch. It is R760 model. I have firmware file, bit 2 also combination file bit 1 and 2. But I flashed successfully bit 1 combination. Maybe I should have flashed bit 2 ?
If you have a port on the side of the watch with the 5 pins underneath it, you can use the circuit board from the inside of the charger of the original Gear S to connect via USB and flash firmware via Odin (not NetOdin). I've done this for a few different watches that I have bricked while testing different firmwares.
If your watch does not have the port, just use the back casing of one that does.. the pins on the motherboard are all the same. It's just a matter of having the port to be able to connect via USB without trying to manually connect loose wires.
Hi guys,
I have the SM-R500 and I was trying to update the firmware using NetOdin, I could solve it, first with the AP installation.
Then I was able to turn on the device, all good...but then on the step to connect my smartwatch to the wireless (to change the region), and the smartwatch don't find any wireless network...
Then I was trying to do a new installation using NetOdin and when I'm facing the download (wireless screen) I'm facing the attach file error..."wd_cm_setup_ap: Failed to run soft AP -1"
Can anyone have a clue to solve one of the two situations?
Thank you so much in advance.
I‘m stuck on this screen without the possibility to go to AP mode. Any solutions?

Hey guys, it's Latrell.
So I know the solution is already on XDA, but there isn't a proper forum on it, and couldn't find a solution.
So I bricked my Gear S3 frontier (T-Mobile) (SM-R765T) and I'm still trying to find the proper firmware, but at least I can flash it. I was worried that at first I couldn't and I'd have to wait for Samsung to fix it, which would probably be around 2 weeks. And I'm impatient. At least I have my T-Mobile Gear S2 classic and Gear Fit2...
Now if you have the latest (or a flashable firmware that isn't the testing firmware, which I have, so if you need to at least get your Gear S3 started somewhat, let me know and I'll upload it) let me know. I have firmwares, but I'm still flashing them to see which one is the right one. So far no luck...
But I bricked my Gear S3 frontier trying to downgrade from Tizen 3 (specifically 3.0.0.1) because the previous version seemed smoother, but obviously that wasn't a good idea...
Anyways, enough with the rambling... let me show you how to get back to wireless download on your Gear S3 classic or frontier. It's pretty easy.
Step 1: Press and hold onto the power button until it says rebooting, then press the button about 3-5 times, and stop when you get into a menu.
Step 2: Scroll to the Download (Wireless) option until it's green by pressing the power button, then press and hold onto the option until you get the Tizen logo (the blue flower looking thing.)
Step 3: Now here's the part that's going to save you. Press and hold onto the power button for 2 seconds, then let go and press and hold for 1 second. Then repeat until you see "Searching for AP"
Step 4: Double press the power button, and you should see the "Wait for AP connection", and you're done!
EDIT: For the people asking about the "Google FRP lock" even though it's Samsung reactivation lock and you can't sign into a Google account on there, you need the login info or try to reset your password. Samsung has that stuff locked down and you can't pass it.
Now you can use the firmware you've been hunting the internet for.
I hope this helped everybody.

Hey, saw your video and it was great bro! The issue im having is after im done with the process it trips the reactivatuon lock. I have the faintest idea what the password is, it was set over 5 yrs ago. Any help would be a godsend. Thx
Hi all,
I have Samsung Gear S2 R730V since 2018 but I couldn't use it at once because I bought it from an unknown in New York and its locked.
When I turn on the gear it says "Gear S2 (2D55) Reactivation lock in turned on on your Gear. On your, phone sign in to the same samsung account that was used to lock the gear."
I tried a lot to unlock it through various methods but couldn't succeed. There is a post by PaulieP and Bobus008 which seems very useful but I stuck in a process when I tried to reboot my gear in "[B]Download (wireless)"[/B] mode as it doesn't have that option. The reboot menu shows "Continue", "Download", "Recovery" and "PowerOff" options. I don't know how I connect my gear with "NetOdin3". I request all senior members please guide will I be able to use this gear in future ?

I had the same issue with mine (R730A) I had to take off the back and solder an USB cable to the proper connections. You will also have to use Odin3 instead of NetOdin.

There's absolutely nothing to solder.
Hi, i recently bought a gear s3 *SMR-765V) from someone and i can't seem to change the phone number on the watch.
i have tried to reset the watch.
i have tried to factory reset the watch by selecting the recovery option after the "rebooting" screen.
and i have tried to reinstall the firmware on the watch using NETODIN.....
nothing works so far, unless somehow i missed some options in the netodin options screen? perhaps reformatting and re partitioning it might help?
but anybody got any suggestions to fixing the problem would be nice.
the watch is a SMR-765V.
and i'm trying to use this outside the USA.

I think the V designates it is Locked to Verizon but since it is an esim I thought you could give the EID to the new carrier and they can generate a code to activate but you may need to have Verizon or pay a 3rd party App or service to Unlock it?
Personally I hate dealing with Esims would rather just have a nano SIM slot in the watch

Same issue. I got one from China sent to the UK and it is a R765V (Verizon) model. It doesn't activate (not surprising) but the watch works.
In about watch the watch phone number displays as +1 000-000-000.
I know there is combination firmware out there that can remove reactivation lock but i've seen nothing regarding removing/resetting the eSim (if it's even possible...only had this watch a day or two so still learning!)
What software version are you on? I'm currently R765VVRU1CSD6 (apparently the latest according to Verizon site)
@adfree kindly posted a link to the firmware if you need it to update to the latest version.
I tried changing the CSC on it too and it only displays VZW so that method is out of the window, i only want the tizen 4.0.0.7 update ?
Even if you manage to unlock the device, as far as i am aware verizon used cdma so it may not work anyway.

Hello, I have recently brick my watch SM-R805F with this firmware:
Changing the Region on the galaxy active 2 including R830XXU1BSI9 update
Most old methods of changing the region on the samsung watches don't work anymore. Given their return policy I thought I bought expensive junk. *#272*719434266344# starts the csc selection but doesn't actually change the region. TL;DR you need...
forum.xda-developers.com
after recovery, watch want start only showing clockwise circle to show mini-apps, after that i have flashed another firmware but only AP and CSC, after that I cannot accest download(Wireless), stuck on main screen(Do not turn off target!!) doesnt create hotspot, cant fully charge watch.
It tis possible somehow to repair it with USB?
Do anybody know which is correct pin usage, i have found 1 pin is + and 4th pin is -, dont know which is data + and data -, one pin will be empty.
And also is there some device which can be connected to usb?
Thank you.
