Question Skip/remove current installable firmware and download new one - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hi guys,
My GW4 classic 46mm is still on GVI3 firmware with Sept 1 patch and luckily I didn't update to GVK3.
I read all the misery that came with this firmware update and also the GVK4 version.
However, the GVK7 version is out now and seems to have solved the bricking issue, so I want to try that version to install.
But my phone and watch keep saying I need to install the GVK3 version.
Is there a way I can get rid of the GVK3 version, so I can check for the GVK7 version and install that one ?

A
Can you maybe write correct Model Name?
Example...
SM-R880 or something like this...
My adventure with SM-R860 and GVH2 to prevent GVI3.. ended with Brick...
So I was forced to be wimpy... and Samsung repaired my SM-R860...
B
Are you able to detect your valid active set CSC?
Example...
I set my SM-R860 to Germany and then active CSC is:
DBT
Best Regards

I took the change and updated to GKV4.
Luckily the watch still started and I could update immediately to GKV7 as well.
Watch not bricked = me happy

Combination File for SM-G930W8

Hi,
I have a S7 (Canadian) with the following firmware: G930W8VLS4CRH1_G930W8OYA4CRH1_XAC (Oreo 8.0.0)
I need to remove the FRP lock on it, but I am not managing to get the correct combination file for it. All the ones I am getting are FA60 instead of FA70 OR FA80 and the wrong binary.
Can someone help with the right combination file or what can be done to remove the FRP on this.
Thanks
GC
Hello Im waiting on my samsung S7 in the mail. Im very familiar with rooting and android. I own 2 samsung tablets the Tab A and the S2. Ive never heard of a combination file. Could you explain to me do I need this file to flash roms or anything? I dont really understand what its for could you tell me what its for and if I need it. Thank you
I have the G930F international unlocked coming I don't know what region or firmware it's on. It's supposed to be new returned condition. I have had them lie before on eBay and say it was new and when I get it there's already been a firmware update like my S2 tablet was on nougat so I'm thinking it'll probably be the same thing this time. Im hoping it's still on marshmallow firmware when I get it. Can I update with different region firmware? I'm American so I was going to flash Oreo BTU United kingdom. But thanks for the help. Yes help me out I
What's the u1 and he mean also?
On 8.0 you cannot use combination to reset frp anymore must use service box

Region change not possible on R760

Hey!
I've recently tried to change the region of my Gear S3 Frontier, but it's not working. I've followed this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...nging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324.
When I run the command
Code:
launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration
it says that it was ran successfully but nothing happens on my watch. I've read that this is due to the new version of Tizen 4.0.0.7, but I'm not sure. I also wanted to follow this next tutorial in order to change the region: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/samsungpay-gear-s3-frontier-region-t3708868, but I didn't want to risk anything since I have another Software Version on my watch.
My software version: R760XXU2FTD4
I would love to change the region in the most noob-friendly way without bricking my watch , so any help would be nice how to do so.
any luck with this im in the same pickle

Galaxy Watch Active Firmware Update

I have recently downgraded my watch active firmware in order to change it's CSC so I would be able to use samsung pay. But now I can not update the watch back to the latest Tizen version ( 4.0.0.7). I am wondering if I use Odin to flash the new firmware will my CSC be reset so I won't be able to use Samsung Pay anymore? And also, where can I find firmware for the watch? I was looking for firmware for some time and I can not find anything( Model: SM-R500).
P.S: I can not update the watch using the wearable app. It says that the software is up to date. The firmware that I used is R500XXU1ASAD which is 4.0.0.3 version of Tizen

Hi, did you find a way to solve this problem. I also have tried everything to "stimulate" the watch or the wearable app to update the Watch, even flashing different versions of the firmware (4.0.0.x, 5.5.0.x), changing the associated Smartphone, resetting, but nothing, it remains stuck to the version it is at, always saying that the software is "up to date"!! What does it look at to determine it??
Thank you to anyone who'll find a solution for this.
P.S. Mine is an LTE model, but without eSIM, for the moment, and I also have just changed the CSC.
P.P.S: Before changing the CSC, the watch did REGULARLY update from Tizen 4.0.0.6 to Tizen 5.5.0.2, through 4 passages. There should be something in the changing process which invalid that...

Installing ROM and Changing Firmware

Good evening ladies and gents,
I got a phone today from Amazon Galaxy Note 10 Plus. SM-N975F/DS.
Got it activated on AT&T which took a bit of trickery but finally got it activated.
So now I am in the process of rooting it and noticed that there are many region specific firmware (you have to use Magisk to patch the firmware (the .md5)). For example mine is N975FXXU6FUCD-MID which was difficult to find and difficult to identify. I have located this (MID) region and its Iraq. As I type this that exact firmware is downloading from SMAMOBILE. I will be flashing a custom ROM within the next few hours. I was wondering tho, since there is no USA Firmware version, will the custom ROM change the firmware thus rendering this entire post irrelevant? Does the firmware matter if the phone is activated and functioning, or is there anything else anyone would suggest? For example should I flash a firmware from perhaps Mexico since its the same continent?
I ask because as I stated above, I am downloading the N975FXXU6FUCD-MID firmware now, and I have to use Magisk to patch the firmware so I just figured I would patch the exact same firmware that is on the phone currently but should i patch a different firmware instead?
Anyway, If anyone has any insight into this I'd love to hear it. Thank you!

Firmware, CSC and Samsung

Hello, I wanted to ask a few questions
After a firmware flash with XPG CSC code for example is it possible to change the CSC code to THL and vice versa?
Is there really any way to lower firmware to a lower version?
If so, what file / path do I need to do this?
what is the differences between OXA and OXM?
Is there a place where you can read about the new changes that Samsung has made in recent years in terms of security that can not flash firmware to an older version and can not change CSC codes?
I know how to root a phone and use ADB (ADB in a very basic way)
Thanks!
