Did you ever manage to get the LTE version working in the UK? Would also be interested to know where you got it from as I can't find an LTE for sale anywhere.
Connection the European SIM

I am interested in that too because i am struggeling with the same issue. The watch I have is an unlocked Korean version with a Tk telecom branding.
Maybe there is a complete neutral firmware for the LTE, that allows the connections of an ESIM via Gear App, as it was allowed with the Gear S2?
GrandMasterPlank. Not really tried yet, to get it working. Got it off Ebay, the same as Pixmixa the Tk telecom branded one. Think it will work has the same radio's as the Gear S2, that O2 were selling for a short time last year. But do not know if any mobile network will connect it, and how helpful they would be. Got this one because it has the possibility to connect to the mobile phone network, not sure if it ever will. But a least it can make an emergency call if i need to, not tried but said I can.
UK networks don't support esims at the moment so I doubt you'll get it to work

How did the scan of the sim card worked? Did it work in the UK or which country? Which carrier(s)? Thanks

Vodafone Germany still offers the previous S2 and shows how the activtion process works. Here you can see:
vodafone.de/hilfe/samsung/gear-s2.html#so-aktivieren-sie-das-esim-profil-fuer-die-samsung-gear-s2-classic-3g-smartwatch
(Please fullfilll the beginning of the URL, I am not allowed to post Links.)
Unfortunately, the app does not offer the menu for the S3 But its at least just a software issue, isnt it?
Pixmixa I have seen the same video, somewhere online, in english. Here is my best guess what appends the Usim/esim need to be registered on the mobile network. When you turn the S3 on it looks for a uk ICCID which is listed under Gear info/About device the first bit 898205 is for the country eg it is set for Korea. This need to be changed, which might be possible as the is a small slot at the bottom of the watch. Looks like a micro usb connection, which i have read on XDA developer is used to reprogram the esim. esims must work in the UK because the Gear S2 was being sold by O2, and i spoke to someone at O2, who phoned someone he worked with who a bought the (o2.co.uk/shop/smartwatches/samsung/gear-s2-classic-3g/). Got a QR code with it and was using it to make and receive calls.

Thank you, that is very interesting information. And you are right, there is a small docking port hidden under a plastic cap close to the wrist at the S3 too. Do you have any further information concering the reprogramming process? Maybe the process for S2 and S3 ist the same and someone who can do it for S2 can do it fo the S3 as well.
Is the docking port a micro usb connection? Not taken the plug out on mine. I was hope some Xda expert would know how to reprogram the esim.

No it is not. The watchside looks like something special. See this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...-providers-t3501589/post70423547#post70423547
Does remind me of my connection on the gear S. Which if I remember correctly you can connect via USB to your computer.
I am considering buying a s3 frontier on a private seller app (5miles). I am on sprint and the watch came from att. I don't have any intentions on using it to make calls from it, other than when my phone is on or around me. Should I have any issues with this? Also, is there anything I should be careful of?
IMHO if you not use or not need Modem function...
Then maybe better to buy SM-R760...
You have more support in community...
SM-R765 is bad supported from S.msung...
Example 1.
None of these devices have now Tizen 3 Firmware update...
Example 2.
If you trying something to repair at home...
You have no Software nor any other kind of help for SM-R765...
Only as info.
Is only my opinion.
Best Regards
OK so I searched through this site and the web. I have a S3 Frontier that will not turn on. When placed on the charger it shows charging. When holding down the power button in the charger, nothing happens. I held it down for over a minute while it was on the charger and off charger. I tried holding down both buttons nothing happens. What else can I try?

According to my knowledge...
Frontier means over 6 deviceS...
Code:
SM-R760
SM-R765A
SM-R765T
SM-R765N
SM-R765
SM-R765V
SM-R765F
So maybe if you are able to identify your "Frontier"... if BT or LTE device...
Perfect would be correct Model Name.

Hi!
Does anyone by any chance have the schematics for the R760? I've tried some links but all of them were either broken or behind a paywall. Thanks!
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?
USB Pinout is here:
