Hi,
After setting up my new Gear Sport I was very disappointed to find that the Samsung Pay app was missing. From what I can tell it should be pre-installed and ready to go. I believe this is because I have purchased a Korean model and activated it in the UK - the first thing it did was update the software, so I think it has taken an international firmware version which doesn't include the Pay app, because the Pay app is region specific? Is there a way to update the software to the correct UK version?

Device info:
Gear Sport SM-R600NZKAKOO (Korean model number)
Tizen 3.0.0.1
Software version R600XXU1AQJS

[edit]
After a quick look at the S3 forums I see some people had similar issues and some were able to flash the ROM with the country version they needed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-classic-sm-r770-t3526747
I guess I'll have to wait until the UK ROM for the Sport is available to download somewhere...

Where do you have this info?
From the Box?

Or is in SM-R600 possible to check this in About device info or via Code?

I have no SM-R600 to check self. :eek:

Maybe we have now all incredients... to do something similar on SM-R600...
Like few users did with SM-R760 or SM-R770...

Best Regards

I hoped they made it easier to check if Product Code on Box match written Software data in Gear... :eek:

Still for normal end user not visible without using Tools... :rolleyes:

SM-R600NZKAKOO

UK Sales Code/CSC is IMHO:
Code: 
BTU
Last 3 letter... of Product Code.


On Gear S3 Forum...
Few users changed successfully to Sales Code USA:
Code: 
XAR
And Gear S3 started to work with Samsung Pay... in:
India

For instance...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code for identify of written/active CSC... Sales Code seems different in Tizen 3

Code: 
vconftool get -t string db/csc/salescode
This Command worked on Tizen 2.3... but now Permission... :rolleyes:

Strange... now CSA folder readable... :D

So maybe someone with SM-R600 could check if this work with SDB.

Code: 
cat /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
and/or just for fun

Code: 
cat /csa/imei/prodcode.dat

-------------------------
These Codes only to find out, what is set/written on device


Best Regards

Many thanks!! I ran the code and managed to change my configuration to UK region (BTU) and reset the device which installed Samsung Pay! :)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76007649&postcount=41
A few details as I am very much a novice - others may find useful (edited to add more info):

  • SDB = Software Development Bridge - it comes with the Tizen development studio. It's an executable that lives in the tizen tools folder and you run using a cmd shell (if on windows)
  • Then I had to add a new windows environment variable called JAVA_HOME which points to the Java install directory (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_162) and reboot before Tizen studio would install
  • Now I could run the sdb executable on windows command line from the Tizen install folder
  • To get the Gear sport to connect to sdb I had to enable debug mode on the gear, disconnect it from my phone, connect to the wifi and run the connect command
Here's all the code I ran in the cmd shell:
Code: 
cd "C:\tizen-studio\tools"
sdb connect <[I]gear ip address[/I]>
sdb shell
launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration
Then the region selection popped up on the Gear screen.
Thanks again! :good:

Thank you very much, that worked like charm ! However, there is just one problem now. When I try to add my VISA card, it wants me to enter the ZIP code (5 digit US code) and I apparently live in canada and have an alphanumeric code. Is there a workaround ?

Yes, there is... Only use the numbers of your postal code and add 2 zeros at the end. For example V6T 1Z4 would be 61400.

Happy to see this is working for others!

Cheers
