How can I change the region on my Samsung Galaxy Watch

[anmol112]

I recently bought a Galaxy Watch (46mm) variant and I wanted to change the region so it could support Samsung Pay as it's not available in India. I came across the "sdb tool" that could potentially change the region but can't find the download link to it. All the posts surrounding the region change lead me to "https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330" but the "SDBstarterKidv1" file is probably removed as I am getting error 410 when trying to download. Sorry, I am a total noob so I would appreciate if someone could help me out in changing the region so Samsung Pay could work.
Thank you in advance.

I'm on mobile so It's going to take me a moment to find the link now.

Before you do anything you should check what region you want to add and find the code for it, because the region names are just 3 letter codes and it's hard to know what is going on when selecting the code and you don't want to spend hours guessing. And before you change the region write down the one your watch came with so you can go back if needed.

First download the zip from here on your computer.

And next follow the steps on here to change region (I know it says gear sport but I did it step by step on my galaxy watch)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sm...nging-region-samsung-gear-sport-r600-t3771324

And that should do the trick.

I tried the steps but I am getting the error everytime I run sdb connect- error: failed to connect to remote target '192.168.0.185'
Any solution?

Are you sure you got the IP right? They are usually usually 192.168.1.x
Did you reboot after setting up debugging mode on?

I only changed the WiFi to always on and it worked fine, by the way I have fixed IP set on my devices on the router but it shouldn't matter.

Edit: I just looked into it, try the IP with the port too like this example: 192.168.1.10:26101

Hey. Thanks it worked just fine. I think I missed reboot step which was causing the issue. Also I downloaded Tizen studio (CLI) and installed it. Don't know if that helped but it worked so thanks a lot.

After you download sdb 2.2.6, first open data/tools and run sdb, window will close. Then run CMD from same folder by holding shift + right click and open cmd. Then you need to type sdb connect (watch ip) and confirm RSA auth. On watch, pay attention to watch when it appears. Then type sdb shell and copy command for changing region.

I was getting same error, because I didnt pay attention to watch, it didnt wake up the screen to accept RSA authentication.

Hey, I did all of the above and got to the sdb connected stage. However, when i type sdb shell, it said error: more than one target found. Specify the target with -s option. how do i fix this?

Hello

What would be the steps if I am doing the process on a MacBook? I can see there is a macOS option in the zip file but it does not contain the same apps like Ansicon.exe.

Any help would be appreciated!

Changing the region on Galaxy Watch R800

Hi all, I recently bought a Galaxy SM-R800 and thought I would be able to use it with Samsung Pay in Australia. The app fails to connect to the watch (Samsung Pay Watch plug-in). From what I can see, the watch was made in Vietnam.
The software installed is as follows:
One UI version - 1.5
Tizen version - 4.0.0.7
Software version - R800XXU1DSL1
Knox - 2.4.0
Knox Tizen Wearable SDK - 2.4.0
SE for Tizen - 2.0.0
TIMZ - 3.0.0

Does anyone have a solution for this. I've tried what I could find online, which appears to have outadated firwares that dont work with the current firmware already on the watch. Hoping someone has a solution. Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Every steps are ok. When I type "launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration", it is "successfully launched", but nothing appears on my watch.
It is an SM-R805F.
Do you have any idea?
Thank you in advance!
