In this guide, we will show you the steps to change the CSC on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. The Country Specific Code is a part of Samsung stock firmware and contains data related to settings, system configurations, localizations, and geo-specific. This information is related to system language, APN settings, and carrier branding. So why is there a need to change this code?
Well, the OEM blocks certain features in some regions, for example, Samsung Pay isn’t available in many countries. But, you could easily change the CSC code to one of the supported regions [such as that of the USA] and welcome the said app onto your watch right away. Apart from that, there are a slew of other region-based restrictions that you could unlock after switching over to a new CSC. So without any further ado, let’s make you aware of the steps to change the CSC on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.
How to Change CSC in Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
- Open the Dialer on your watch and type in the below command
*#272*719434266344#
- You will now get a warning on your watch, tap OK.
- Now scroll through the list of the CSC, select the desired one, and hit Install.
- You will now get a confirmation, tap OK. That’s it, the CSC has now been changed.
So these were the steps to change the CSC on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 4. While there were a few initial concerns that you might receive OTA after changing CSCs, but fortunately that isn’t the case and users are receiving software upgrades as before.
Moreover, if you are looking to install Samsung Pay, then it is recommended to opt for the CSC of the USA, which is XAA. Apart from that, if you have any other queries, then do let us know in the comments. We will get back to you with a solution at the earliest.
