How can you tell what region you have? - Samsung Gear S3

I have a sm-r760 I just bought with R760XXU2ESE3 installed. How can I tell if this is actually a US watch as it was sold as? The model is simply listed as R760 everywhere. The reason I'm questioning it is there's no Samsung pay installed on the watch and no way to install it that I can see. It's installed and setup and usable on the phone.

check the csc of the watch and change it to american one ... you can find the guide in here ...

Samsung Gear SM-RF760 and Samsung Gear Pay - Issues

So, due to no Gear S3 being available in Australia for some time, I ordered the SM-RF760 Model from www.eglobaldigital.com.au
I have the s7 Edge Aussie Variant. Just found out that Samsung Pay is no available on the SM-RF760 and been advised by Samsung that it will only become available and has to be activated in the country i bought the watch from!!! Can you believe it? Maybe one day I can side load a version, of if someone can help, please please do
Michael
Sorry but you can't side load it. The only way to get it on the watch is to load the csc file from Australia. I am in the same boat in Canada. Have it in Gear Manager but it won't go on the watch until Canada updates the CSC file.

Thanks Swordfish

I only have it in Gear Manager because I use a US phone with US firmware in Canada. Should have bought the watch in US too!

Mine in Canada is OXA, can someone from US tell me what version you have? I believe this is what prevents us from installing SP on our watches.

I ask now on another forum and wait answer.
Man buy R760 from USA, now version APK7.
Pnone not Samsung. Adding russian card without problem.
SP working via NFC and MST.
Sorry for my bad english.
APK7 is the firmware version but I need to know what CSC version the Americans have. Using the procedure above, you can check and see what version you have. It won't hurt your watch to just check the version number.
Swordfish
My guess is my model number is the American version SM-R760
CSC: R760OXA1APK6 SM-R760
We have PK7 as the firmware but my thinking must be incorrect. It seems we all have OXA as the CSC value so now I'm puzzled as to how the watch knows not to install SP on my watch??
Swordfish
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING AND SAMSUNG ARE HOPELESS, THEY TOLD ME I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE COUNTRY I PURCHASED, HONG KONG?? Is SM-R760 the USA version then?

I think, need another activation SP.
May be enabling in special menu, before buy.
May be first pairing and activation in country non USA.
May be first pairing and activation with non USA Samsung phone firmware.
I dont know....
gah samsung pay not available on my HK version of the watch. Gah is there any update on this (flashing firmware etc) to get samsung pay to work in my home country (australia)?
This is frustrating
It's the watch, nothing you do on your phone will bypass it. I'm in Canada, didn't even have the SP option in my gear app and then I sold my Canadian one and got a USA one and it installed itself on my Canadian S7 Edge (unrooted/unmodded). SP works even though we don't officially have SP in Canada (only pre-release for one bank)

G955FD S8+

I've ordered the Duos model (G955FD) in Korea. Currently living in Belgium but soon moving to Thailand. Would it be wise to check the firmware installed on the phone and replace it by the stock firmware for that model from Thai market? I can find this firmware on Sammobile website and was wondering if this would be wise or not
It's not necessary. I have ghee same model and didn't need to do anything out of the box. Really nice phone btw

You also use it in Thailand? I am just a bit worried about the fact if Samsung Pay will work or not if it is not the Thai firmware (this is also one of the issues I have with finding a leather wallet case...it need to be able to support wireless charging, have landscape stand to watch movies and support for NFC - Samsung Pay)

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:

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.

How to make samsung pay in UK work on gear s3 classic from Hong kong

Hello I'm waiting on delivery of my gear s3 classic. I brought it from a site in Hong Kong and I want to use samsung pay in uk. I've seen other threads but all from 2017 so wondering if anyone can help me with new and updated ways/links.
Should I update the watch when I get it or leave it on stock firmware to make it easier?
I'm a noob on this so step by step would be great.
Thanks in advance guys :good:
nothing new, i also want to use sspay in vietnam,my watch is R775A.. in vietnam, sspay only support visa card, napas doesnt support.. i have an idea, flash combine files then change csc with your location csc

Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro - are there different versions?

Hi all, I'm asking here because there is no dedicated subforum for XCover 6.
So, I'm planning on buying Galaxy XCover 6Pro but I'm getting confused if there are different version of it out on the market? I've noticed that shops in my country (Poland) mark phones they are selling using these three different product numbers:
sm-g736bzkdeeb,
sm-g736bzkdeee,
sm-g736bzkd
with the first one (EEB) being called "Enterprise Edition" appearing in most of stores while the offical samsung.com store lists XCover 6Pro with "EEE" product number. Neverthless google shows up a samsung page for the "EEB" model too.
https://www.samsung.com/uk/business/smartphones/xcover/galaxy-xcover6-pro-sm-g736bzkdeeb/
https://www.samsung.com/levant/business/smartphones/xcover/galaxy-xcover6-pro-sm-g736bzkdeee/
So i checked the specs, in stores and on these samsung pages and they all appear to be the same XCover 6 Pro, 6GB 5G phones with Dual Sim in black colour.
So here is my question. Are they really the same phone or there is some difference that's my eye is missing?
The difference between the two devices you have named, is that one is made for the German market (EEB) and one is made for the eastern European and Swiss/Austrian markets (EEE).
There may be some issues with things such as samsung pay if you are using a device outside of its region but overall the device should work fine either way.
With the previous model (G715FN), I was able to flash to my local firmware without issue and all bands worked flawlessly as well as all localised features such as samsung pay. Unfortunately once this is done, you will not receive OTA updates any longer as it recognises your device has been modified. This may be because I tripped knox doing all this.
The only other thing to look out for is that you aren't buying a device that has been locked to a given carrier, or requires a sim from that carrier for activation.
Again, there's usually ways around this but you don't need to complicate your life like that.
If you are able to buy locally, surely they can give you some assurances that the device will work with your local providers?
There is no difference in specs, bands etc, it's just localisation support and operator specific configurations to worry about.
Samsung generally include all international MBN files in their modem config files so it's not such a huge deal these days as long as you can successfully register the device for use.

I have one I got recently, but have not used Magisk. Doesn't one have to access bootloader to do that? Which is my question: Anyone have an unlock for the bootloader?
Yes. There's instructions Here
