Hello guys, I have previous experience with rooting and Odin but I would not want to risk it with the watch.
l do not know whether the procedure is the same.
l am asking to see whether someone managed to root it or even flash some custom ROM if possible.
Thank you in advance!

Maybe I could maybe help...
You have allready Tizen 4.0.0.7 on your SM-R760?
I mean this:
Code:
R760XXU2[B]FTD4[/B]/R760OXA2FTD4

RAMDISK from Combination Firmware CRB1
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81794475&postcount=841
Rooted rootfs.img for SM-R760 ESF2
https://www.file-upload.net/download-13897188/2020_ROOT_smR760_ESF2_and_CSC_v3.7z.html
-------------------------------------------------
You need netOdin.
A
MANDATORY flash FIRST RAMDISK to allow modified rootfs.img
B
Round 2 with netOdin. My modified TAR with rootfs.img + csc.img inside.
C
Then you can use it with Tool SDB...
OWN RISK!
If you have questions ask FIRST, before you try something.
Best Regards
Sorry for disrupting this post, but I also want to root my r760n. I am currently on 4.0.0.4 R760XXU2ESG1. If I understand correctly I need to get a rooted rootfs.img which I need to flash after your ramdisk. Where can I get the rootfs? BTW your rootfs.img link for ESF2 is broken. And what about flashing the scs.img? Will I still be able to change my CSC by launching that switcher app via sdb? What steps should I take to get my gear S3 rooted? And will SPay still work after rooting the watch?
@mikamika135790
Downloaded from Link and for me work
Code:
2020_ROOT_smR760_ESF2_and_CSC_v3.7z
Can you please give details what exactly is broken?
You can not download or downloaded file is corrupted or?
Code:
And will SPay still work after rooting the watch?
At the moment not both things at same time possible...
Reason(s)
A
I am from Germany... No Samsung Pay
No problem for me to use Root.
B
Maybe someone else can find solution to hide Root...
Best Regards
Okay I found out that NextDNS is blocking the site. Is that file still compatible with my model?
I am located in Luxembourg and we also don't have real SPay capabilities but I was hoping that the PayPal method has been made available by now.
@mikamika135790
Seems we have both SM-R760 Gear S3 Frontier...
Only tiny difference... you have now:
Code:
R760XXU2ESG1
And I have only uploaded ESF2..
Ehm in theory this is possible to mix... better and safer to match Firmware Version on device and modded files...
Maybe before we proceed...
A
You are able to work with SDB Tool?
Minimum skills is to Copy and Paste:
Code:
sdb root on
B
You can handle netOdin? To flash correct files...
C
Root only work in combination with PC Tool SDB...
So I hope you have good reason... to take the risks...
Best Regards
sdb seems to be like adb but Samsung specific, so I think I am able to work with it. I think I am also able to work with netOdin, provided I get proper directions for the files provided. And I also have a second Gear S3 frontier if something goes terribly wrong. Is there a modified ramdisk for my firmware or is there a way/guide to modify it myself if the file doe not exist yet? Thanks
Mandatory step is to flash RAMDISK first:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81794475&postcount=841
It is taken from Combination Firmware CRB1...
It is unmodified...
Only unpacked and repacked as 1 file into 1 TAR...
IMHO this would be your first step.
Yes, IMHO I have several times posted how to make own ROOT... all inside linked Thread...
I am too lazy to search now...
Maybe good idea, to prevent later mistakes...
Make first Photo from your Odin Mode aka Download... Example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
No need to post here... only as Backup for you.
IMHO my Root method NOT kill Knox...
But no idea if you do own experiments...
OWN RISK!
Best Regards
Okay, thank you. I found your 2020_summary_Rooting_v1.zip file which I suppose is the most up to date one. It seems as if you only have to copy some files into the rootfs.img and destroy a string for the dm-verity. I could simply mount the rootfs under my linux machine and manualy copy the files and edit that string and it would stilll work? Thanks
In theory yes.
For study you can use the unmodified ESF2 Firmware files...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82568511&postcount=882
For new Tizen 4.0.0.7 FTD4 Firmware my method work too.. for me.
Changes...
I have flashed RAMDISK of SM-R500 Combination Firmware and also take files... from Batch...
So IMHO it would be possible to root Tizen 4.0.0.x with same files for:
Code:
Gear S3 like SM-R760
GW like SM-R800
GWA1 like SM-R500
in theory also GWA2 like SM-R820... not tested yet...
Best Regards
Okay, thank you very much. As you are from Germany, I suppose that your CSC is set to Germany. Is the setting of the CSC related to the final 4 characters of the firmware (like ESF2 and ESG1)? And where does one get the rootfs for the firmwares? Are they in an update package which can be found on a samsung repository or can you only get them by chance from a combination file? Thanks
Not exact sure what you need...
A
BT only Watches have 1 package for ALL CSC aka Sales Code...
SM-R760 is BT only Watch... here only OXA Region with all 70 + CSC...
Code:
XAR
DBT
.
.
KOO
You can find them inside csc.img...
B
To find Firmware Files...
You can click here around in few Threads... or search by Google for free avalaible files...
Looks like this:
Code:
BL_R760XXU2ESG1_usr.tar.md5
AP_R760XXU2ESG1_usr.tar.md5
CSC_OXA_R760OXA2ESG1_usr.tar.md5
Brazil CSC ZTO for instance was the only with
Code:
AP_R760XXU2[B]ESI1[/B]_usr.tar.md5
New Firmware FTD4 for ALL CSC "avaliable"...
Also as leaked...
But I have NO Original FTD4 files... only dumped from SM-R760 with RDX Tool and USB cable...
Maybe somebody can share the Original Files of FTD4... :angel:
Best Regards
OKay, I found the ESG1 firmware on some firmware site with arab font and I presumably would have to purchase it. But downgrading to maybe ESF2 would be possible if I understand correctly? And is your FTD4 dump available as an archive file like BL_ etc or do I need the original one? Sorry for bothering you with my many questions, I am new to the Gear S3 scene And where do I put what into netOdin? I repacked csc.img into a tar file which will be put under csc. Does the ramdisk go in the first run under bl or is that for an sboot file? And the rootfs.img as a tar will go under AP?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82763599&postcount=206
FTD4 ""official"" Firmware Files...
Thanx to Uploader. :good:
So I can next days upload rooted FTD4...
Best Regards
Just tried rooting my second watch which is now stuck on the frontier bootlogo. I am very certain that I effed up somewhere so here are my steps.
The watch was on an ESE firmware and I downloaded your ESF2 rooted files from the main root post. I also downloaded the combination files. I extracted the combination firmware and put the files from inside there into folders called csc, bl and ap. I then put the csc.img from your 2020 zip from the post and replaced the csc.img file I got from the combination zip and placed into the csc folder. I placed the rootfs.img I got from your 2020 zip into the ap folder, replacing the one that came with the combination file. Finally I downloaded the dzimage from the post and put it into the bl folder, replacing the original one. Then I tared them all into seperate tar archives, loaded them into netodin and flashed them in AP mode. After flashing was done, my watch is now stuck at the frontier bootimage. What did I miss?

Okay I got way confused at the multiple instructions. Sorry. I try to follow now.
Wireless still works. Ap mode too.
According to your Photo.
Knox is now 1...
Bye bye Samsung Pay for now.
My suggestion...
Flash normal Stock Firmware of your choice....
FTD4 for instance...
I hope you are able now to follow posts and links and you can successfully download FTD4 Firmware...
For netOdin maybe you can use this Link as help:

If I have time I will root FTD4 and upload...
Maybe we try then again...

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus Wi-Fi only GT-P6210 that I want to flash back to stock ROM using ODIN. I have found two packages at this thread. (I can't post to the following thread because I'm a noob)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367478
One package has only one file that I know is the PDA file. The other package has 3 files:
GT-P6210-MULTI-CSC-OXEKK1_RST.tar.md5
P6210_APBOOT_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
P6210_CODE_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship_16G.tar.md5
The CODE file is the PDA file, correct?
The CSC file is the CSC file, duh.
What is the APBOOT file?
Can you also explain what the different files are? What is a CSC file? What is a PIT file? Why does the other package only contain the PDA file?
I've never ODIN'd before so I want to make sure I know what I'm doing and flash the correct package.

I have the same question my self but didnt know where to look... Hopefully you get an answer soon cause id like to know to, my tab got screwed up and i dont know how to get the original firmware back and no clue how to properly flash the odin with out screwing it up more, so hopefully this works
This post was a question, but now I've edited it to help some users. Marshmallow ota was released in India, but if you want to flash it manually you can. Using this amazing tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
You can download the stock MM firmware for the a8. Just set the region code to INS and put your model number. Make sure 'decrypt' box is checked. After downloading the firmware, you will see the file extension is '.zip.enc4'. Remove the .enc4 extension and unzip it. There you will find the .tar.md5 file which you can flash with Odin, just put it in the Ap/pda section.
Hope this helped you guys

Hello all,
I purchased a used Gear s2 SM-R732 that after trying to use it, i found it has firmware: R732XXu2eqc1 installed on it, Is there anyway to get the us XAR firmware to put this back to factory stock?
No idea if this helps you to understand... little bit more:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/usa-sm-r732-firmware-t3587521
There are only 2 MULTI packages... with MULTI CSC ...
Code:
OXA
OXX
OXA contains 40 countries/Sales Codes...
Code:
SER ---> Russia
DBT ---> Germany
XAR ---> US
+ many more
Only your Sales Code on device select CSC...
You can find out your Sales Code via SDB Tool... only as info..
In other words... you have allready Firmware installed which also use our US friends...
Only Samsung preconfigured it via CSC...
Best Regards
Nice to know but samsung pay is disabled due to the watch having UK firmware on a US model watc , where can I download the xar files(csc,xar, and pit)
Please...
I know my Englsih is worst...
But if you would unpack any Firmware you can find... for instance here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/gear-s2-firmwares-r720-r732-t3684789
EQH1 for both SM-R720 and SM-732 inside this Thread... for OXA region...
Now use Tool called 7zip to unpack and extract...
Then look into CSC Image...
You will find also for XAR...
Voila... you have your US Firmware...
You need only to know which CSC is ACTIVATED on your Gear...
In other words you have to change CSC... to XAR on your device.
BUT there are also other Security related CRAP... for SPay...
For instance... look at this Video...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73982855&postcount=213
Only as info.
Best Regards
So if I don't care about samsung pay, I just download the firmware above,grab 7zip and extract it, pull the xar out and I have my firmware file to flash. So how do I change my csc on the watch? I still don't know how someone rooted this thing and flashed UK firmware to it.
Don't I also need a pit file?
1.
I have rooted SM-R732 Firmware...
2.
Seems you not understand what I mean...
No matter of UK or US or what ever...
IMPORTANT is Bits and Bytes SET on your device...
To check ACTIVE CSC on your device...
You can use Tool SDB... and fire up simple Command by Copy and Paste...
Maybe look into this post... user has attached 2 Pics... maybe usefull for you...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73518544&postcount=158
3.
PIT is inside CSC...
BUT you NOT need Flashing something!
Maybe better learn before you destroy something...
4.
What is on your Devcice? As I told 2 packages exists... OXX and OXA...
Hard Core Hacker Code for you:
Code:
*#1234#
In the output you can see if you have OXA or OXX Firmware on your device... concentrate your eyes on CSC name:
Code:
R732OXA
or
R732OXX
5.
Again... The MANDATORY part is the Sales Code on device... NOT where you paid this device...
Software can also change Sales Code... by accident or by...
So IMHO good idea to check which Sales Code is set/written...
In Computer "science" it is possible to read exact data...
No need of smell, feel or Crystal Ball or something in this direction...
Simple READ the data from device.
Best Regards
Edit 1.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72316231&postcount=158
Here is for instance few Screenshots, how I can see Sales Code in rooted BOKK Firmware via funny Codes...
CSC Verifier and CSC Pre-config is on my Screenshots...
Only as info.
Link to rooted BOOK Firmware is in theory also in this Thread... no idea if allready expired...
CAUTION! Own risk.

Longtime lurker, just finally registered (normally I get my answers without the need to regester.
Just picked up a Gear S2 (SM-R720) and looking to change my CSC from Canada to XAR so I can use SPay.
Ive literally spent 3 days reading and clicking and reading and clicking again and cant seem to get the answer.
Im great at following instructions and have been reading a lot of threads originally by @adfree but to no avail.
Like this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76553079&postcount=98
^^In this method, at #6, I cant seem to get it working directly from CMD command so I go to CMD through the SDB Starter kit (/data/tools).
When I input my command line for the ip, I keep getting:
"failed to connect to remote target".
One time, I did get the 'RSA Key fingerprint' request but when I accepted and then tried to type 'sdb shell' I got:
"more than one target found. Specify the target with -s option."
Only the one time did I get the RSA prompt.
I have also tried with ODIN, but, my problem is my only access to a PC is a desktop without WIFI so im not quite sure how to connect my gear to my PC this way.
Please help! I love theis watch but the main reason I got it was to be able to use SPay!
Again, I am in Canada wear SPay is not out for Gear S2 so I need to change the csc code!

Before I do stock flash. In AP section. However, when I unzip the .zip and open the file, there is only another 0J2 .zip file within...just leave it?

@adfree
Hello everyone,
I am trying to change CSC code at my R775A but with no succed Watches are AT&T US version.
When I tried this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...to-xar-to-enable-samsung-pay-sm-r770.3718236/ after flash the combination FW i was unable to open *#272*719434266344#, nothing happened.I Think that I was on old Tizen (2.3.2.1) which is not supported for this.
Tried the method via sdb tools on Tizen 3 after command "launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration" CSC manager opened, but there was only one option "AT&T".
So tried the hardest way for me with Tizen studio and change the files "csc-active-customer.inf" and "prodcode.dat" to BTU CSC code (want to run samsung pay with curve solution). But after flashed the stock (AP,BL and CSC), the CSC is probable again changed to US (I'm not fully sure if checking this information right - looking at *#1234#). So now I'm stuck at the latest stock ROM and scared to do some tricky changes which could brick the watches.
Thinking about changing the files now via tizen studio on the stock FW, but do not know if it is possible and might be complete brick...?
Other method which is on my mind - flash the combination FW, make changes to BTU CSC code (Tizen studio) and then flash only AP and BL - complete bullsh*t or is it possible?
Or is not workaround to inject BTU CSC option?
Is there any more security with LTE versions of this watches and it is impossible change them to other FW and CSC?
Actual FW of my watches: AP: R775AUCU1DTE1; CP: R775AUCU1AQD2; CSC: R775AATT1DTE1
I Appreciate every advice! and sorry for my english
You can not choose by dreaming CSC...
You can select between script files inside "CSC"... in this case I mean csc.img...
Use Tool 7zip to extract files from csc.img...
Then I hope you better understand...
BTU is NOT inside US ATT Firmware...
Best Regards
Hello adfree,
thank you for clarify this.
I looked at the csc.img and as you said there is only ATT CSC.
There is no chance to add to this csc.img another CSC from another csc.img FW?
