Hello everyone,
Any idea on how to change the CSC of Galaxy Watch 5 models (incl. SM-R925). It appears that Samsung has blocked *#272*719434266344# or *#272*IMEI# methods to change the CSC. And it doesn't appear any stock firmware of GW5 is available yet to flash it with NetOdin in order to change its CSC/Region.
For reference, LTE network on the new Galaxy Watches is regionally locked. Meaning, if you buy the US version of Galaxy Watch 5 LTE model, it is unlikely you could activate it on networks outside of the US, including Canadian carriers. Unless, you somehow change its CSC and region. ( Carrier service cannot be activated outside of the United States on a watch sold for use in the United States. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00082122/#:~:text=Activate service,-When you connect&text=Note: Carrier service cannot be,a phone to activate service. )
Any hints or clues on how to change the CSC would be appreciated?

But you know you can only switch between CSC scripts if these scripts are inside Firmware?
And in US Firmware only US CSC scripts...

Thank you for looking into it. You are completely correct sir. Even if we could pull up the line with ADB, with GW5 US LTE (OYM) firmware, you are limited to those few options within US carriers as you explained.
However, if I could flash its stock rom with a stock rom of another region (e.g. replace SM-R925U1 firmware with SM-R925F) with NetOdin, then we could most likely change to the CSC of choice as well (in my case XAC which is Canadian generic). And since GW4 or GW5 are all universally using the same SoC, flashing different roms shouldn't be an issue.
The problem is I cannot find its stock firmware or combination files anywhere!!! Maybe it is because it's still so new, but even for GW4, it is difficult to find all versions. Unlike Galaxy phones, GW roms are not uploaded often.
For Combination Firmware you maybe not searched hard enough...

You bought wrong device for you personal needs...
Faster and working solution is buy Watch for your Region...

Some other user told maybe Hardware/Driver differences between F and U...
IMHO your project is NOT easy...

Thank you for your detailed replies. Only one question: suppose I could get hold of the stock firmware of F (international version), could I flash it with U, using NetOdin? Since GW5 (or even GW4) are all using the same SoC (hence same modem), I cannot think of any risks here to have bricks. Am I missing something here?

hey hello to all out there
Basically i am new in the forum but not to its threads which have always been a great help to me when it comes to rooting my smart devices or making them more efficient or whatevr so finally joined it to avial even more fun !
Well i own a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT- i9305 4G LTE which i rooted months back in order to install android kikkat 4.4 .But i later found that the android kikkat versions available den, were not the officail ones and the users complained various problems with the custom ones so i decided to wait for the official release and to install it manually using ODIN!
Now when the officail kikkat is avialable to download i am damn confused about regions i should download from ..coz my PDA version and Csc version denote different regions !
So what i need is some expert advice on this as to what to do in this case when the PDA and CSC /Product code show different regions!? Should i change my csc, den how?n how do i know the correct csc for my device coz my PDA shws i have a multi csc ?(n i dont knw what was my csc before i rooted)
Phone Info
Model:Gt - i9305 4g lte
Country of origin: MADE IN VEITNAM
Original CSC code: VDI
Product Code: GT-I9305RWDVDI
PDA version: I9305XXUEMKC
CSC version:I9305VDIEMK2
Base Band Version:I9305XXUEMKI
Android :4.3
(P.s- I dialed *#06# to knw the IMEI n through it i came to knw that my phone is from germany so my csc should have code that matches with germany code but my csc code i.e VDI matches to ireland )
plsssss help guys!!!!:crying:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. The best place to find answers to your questions is in your device's specific forum here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3 Specifically you might try asking here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/help-thread-galaxy-s3-question-t2690307/page199
Today I tried switching my s8+ which is an Italian unlocked model (ITV) to a United Kingdom unlocked firmware (BTU). I followed all the steps as this is not my first time flashing firmwares with Odin. I found a thread online saying that since BTU is a multi CSC , I need to flash a ROM that's is outside the multi CSC , so I decided to flash a O2 ROM , straight after flashing the BTU hoping that it would change the CSC , but it didn't instead it stood on ITV, the country/region is still on Italy too. Can anyone explain what I done wrong pls ?
Why do you even care about csc ? Install rom for your coutry "global", not branded soft and that's all...
BTU is not branded, it's unlocked with no carrier. Updates are also provided directly from Samsung. I would like to change the ROM for faster updates and features

So according to what I read it's impossible to change the CSC to BTU on the Galaxy s8 unless you have a UK Sim. This used to be possible on the s7.

But NOT possible anymore on the S8/S8+
ITV & BTU are both part in OXM. When you flash BTU-ROM, your device will stay ITV because both are in OXM...

Yes, S7 didn't use the multi-CSC, each region had it's own CSC.
But the Euro S8 has Multi-CSC, so it won't change region until you put in a SIM from that new region.
Thanks guys for helping. I just wanted to change the CSC for quicker updates and for region specific features like Bixby Voice when it gets released in the UK.
Hi,
I bought an s930fd from Hong Kong to use in Australia on the Telstra network. Currently it has:
PDA/AP Version G930FXXS1DQHM
CSC Version G930FOJV1DQEB
MODEM/CP Version G930FXXU1DQE8
Region XSG — United Arab Emirates
I don't care about the dual SIM feature. Also, the phone will eventually be flashed to Lineageos 15.1 so I won't be using OTA upgrades.
Do I need to flash to:
PDA/AP Version G930FXXS2DRCF
CSC Version G930FTEL2DRBA
MODEM/CP Version G930FXXU2DRAC
Region TEL — Australia
for it to work on the Telstra network? Or could I use:
PDA/AP Version G930FXXS2DRCE
CSC Version G930FXSA2DRAC
MODEM/CP Version G930FXXU2DRAC
Region XSA — Australia
which I assume has all the right modem information and other settings to work in Australia on any network?
You don't need to if you don't want to, since internationally most networks work the same.
Mine was also originally from UAE, the firmware it came with it worked fine with Optus without any additional flashing. I'm now on the UK BTU because it's what my custom ROM came with and it's also fine.
I would say go with XSA if you're going to flash since that's the unbranded firmware and should work on all Aus networks, but won't come with Telstra bloatware.
The main benefit for carrier specific is carrier specific features like VoLTE.
OK. Given Telstra runs VoLTE, then does XSA provide it or do I need to go to the specific TEL flash?
Cheers
I think you need the TEL flash, as far as I know VoLTE settings are carrier specific
Hello,
I have not received any software update on my GW4 LTE since Nov 2021. My current software version is R875FXXU1DUJA.
When i contacted samsung support, they told that i will get it once a new update is released. But i have not got any update till now.
But on this forum, i see that a couple of updates are released in 2022 in other countries.
Can somebody confirm the latest software version of GW4 LTE in India?

@adfree I changed CSC from INU to MEA by dialing *#272*IMEI# to enable Samsung Pay app.
I refer the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...gions-may-work-on-non-samsung-phones.4338385/
Is there any way i can start receive software updates?
Can Samsung support help in it?
Hi guys, new here. I want to make the most of the Watch 4 LTE I bought. I want to use Samsung Pay or Google Wallet on the watch by changing region to MEA however am unclear if LTE calls will work in India after doing so. Can anyone confirm or point me to a thread which clears my doubts?
