Gear S2 model region and Gear S2 App Store region

Hi,
does someone know if each region has its own Gear S2 versions? (USA, Europe, ...)
Would this also determine the region of the Gear S2 App Store?
Is it possible to determine what region my Gear S2 is from or currently in or even to change that?
Best regards,
C3m3nt

Yes. Yes. No. Post the model number from "About Gear" and we can tell you what region it's from.

He meant serial number of GS2

There exist a lot of regions (for only a watch)
Hi,
unfortunately, besides the serial number it doesn't give any clue in its menus.
Thinking about how it would be possible to find out the region, using only the serial number of the Gears S2, I looked through the Samsung website and found their "product registration" site.
Each serial number of the SM-R720 seems to start with "R3AG". Or does someone have something else?
There by registering a product, entering the serial number, they would automatically associate the correct device with its region.
For the USA it is the model SM-R7200ZKAXAR (dark grey) and SM-R7200ZWAXAR (silver).
Doing further research, browsing through Samsung Europe and their registration site, I found out that they have at least 13 different regions for the Gear S2 dark grey.
Seems very complicated and annoying...for a watch...making it fun for every region to get its own update...
The last way to find out which region the watch is associated to, seems to be when looking at the back of the box the watch came in, on the sticker under "Model: ...".
The model numbers seem similar to the CSC codes but some are different.
Here is the list of the SM-R720 dark grey (ZK) and silver (ZW) for Europe (I don't know if it is complete):
SM-R7200ZKADBT Gear S2 Germany
SM-R7200ZWADBT Gear S2 Germany
SM-R7200ZKAXEF Gear S2 France
SM-R7200ZWAXEF Gear S2 France

You mean this article?
http://nevillednz.blogspot.de/2017/12/great-news-samsung-gear-s3-esim.html
December 2017...
I have none of these LTE devices in my hand...
I am from Germany...
1.
SM-R765N
I can not remember to see somewhere User with device...
No idea if not popular in New Zealand
2.
SM-R765F for Singapore... :crying:
This is the only user I know from Europe... his experiences:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/sm-r765f-teardown-t3659431
3.
Experiments with LTE devices seems much MUCH harder...
No Firmware
No Warranty if something happens
4.
I can NOT remember about en masse lucky eSIM "changer" in Gear S3 LTE world...
Example SM-R765A... correct me if I am wrong... but nobody can move to T-Mobile...
SM-R765T or Verizon... SM-R765V
So why N and F Version?
No idea if you like adventures for 300 $...
5.
I have forgotten...
Article is from December... BEFORE these devices updated to Tizen 3...
Maybe this Trick is obsolete...
Best Regards

thanks your kindly reply very much, Mr. agree.
I had taken much time on eBay, to find what's the meaning of the seller's description "factory unlocked". Finally I got I need a "Carrier Unloced" Gear S3 Frontier LTE to DL international esim profile, but most of seller's "factory unlocked" is dishonest and their devices equal "Carrier LOCKED".
Bcz different BANDS of tele-providers,
Unfortunately, sm-r765A(at&t) and sm-r765T(T-Mobile) can't using docomo, and I am happy to find out sm-r765F has same BAND and can download other provider's profile, yesterday.
I readed the blog again, it's sounds that DOCOMO of esim is supported by a foreign G&D company. Maybe this means their profile is common and can be use for other device they don't support bcz not on sale. (ONLY wifi version by docomo)
Thanks(￣□￣!!

For SM-R765F Combination FT30 Firmware exists...
Maybe if somebody need for research...
OWN RISK!
Best Regards

Only as info... check these 2 Videos... attached.
Command sent via SDB Tool is:
Code:
launch_app csc-manager.csc-sim-test
Result looks like this:
Code:
sh-3.2$ launch_app csc-manager.csc-sim-test
... successfully launched
But I have no idea how usefull these infos are...
Maybe we can compare with infos from SM-R765F and maybe SM-R765S...
Best Regards

i have a SM-R765a and have a qr code for my new esim setup however not able to find any way to set it up on my watch can someone help me please ?

Can anyone confirm question regarding unlocking Gear S3

Hi eveyone,
Can anyone confirm if the Gear S3 can indeed be unlocked and if so can it be used on other carriers? I think as long as the carrier supports e-sims it shouldn't be a problem but i've been reading conflicting info like this: https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/143724#631813
Any info would be appreciated.

Since Gear S3 release, no one managed to use it on other carriers. Even if you get an unlock code, other carriers are yet unable to insert the e-sim code into their line.
So the answer is no.
Regards

As I know now,
all of Korean and USA version ARE carrier locked,
And Only Singapore version is carrier FREE.(I'm not sure, the next week when I receive the sm-r765f coming from Singapore, I can report if it's )
AND slapshot2286 unlocked his at&t version Using the code from at&T.
forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/guide-gear-s3-frontier-765a-carrier-t3537382/amp/
But register other provider' profile to built-in esim, you need a QR code(maybe it's an URL of server where contain the profile for download? Not the contents of profile? Anyone know about this plz reply me, many thanks) to scan! Lol providerS at Tokyo doesn't supply QR-Code to scan NOW.
One more important thing, you must confirm the BANDS(3G/LTE) of gear s3 is compatible with the carrier which you want to use.
See wiki:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Gear_S3

In the UK, I have a S3 Frontier, and I have used it on Vodafone, EE and 3, just by running the usual pairing and setup (as if it were new). It appears I can use it with whatever network the phone is on. So far I have done it with 3 phones, on 3 different networks, and it works fine.

Question HELP Does anyone have the Chinese Version of Galaxy Watch 4 Flashable Firmware?

Hello everyone
Just wander to know whether anyone have the Chinese Version firmware which is flashable for galaxy watch 4 classic SM-R890, because the firmware code for chinese version is R890 ZCU1XXXX, not XXU1XXXX, and it has huge different between ZCU and XXU, and the CSC code for China is CHC, Hardware Code is R890NZKACHC
Any help and/or resources will be appreciated

Low chance...
We have EVA8... old Firmware for International SM-R890...
Please can you give more infos why you need chinese Firmware?
Device dead? Halfdead? Or for study?
If you like "adventures"... MAYBE EVA8 from SM-R890 work...
Then CSC is set to XAA USA...
For me XAA CSC makes trouble with my WiFi Network... I am from Germany.
If XAA is active. I can NOT connect to my Network...
Best Regards

I just flashed the EVA8, but it does not allow me to change CSC code

I use the watch in standalone mode, then enter *#272*719434266344# but it does not show me the CSC change screen.

CSC should be XAA now.
You can update to latest Firmware via FOTA over the Air?
EVA8 work so far for you?
CSC change is very close to impossible at the moment.
I can do this only with Root... and this require USB cable... and kill Knox Warranty Bit...
Best Regards

All work for me, but how to root it? where you get the USB dock?
