Open SDB and do the following (If you didn’t have SDB download it first, if you have problem with SDB click on this forum

• launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration

Then Choose XFA on the watch, and it will restart. After that Go to Wireless mode again with the step above.

In NetOdin select the BL, AP, CSC from the stock rom, but you don’t need to untick the “AutoReboot” option.

Unpair the watch in your phone Bluetooth settings, and delete the galaxy wearables app, the watch will restart and ask you to download the Wearables app. Do it and set up the watch, however, DO NOT UPDATE the watch when the app asks you to.

Inside the Wearables app, go to Samsung Pay first, and set it up, as you have done previously from the start. You will have to pair your cards again and get SMS confirmation from your bank.

The app will ask you to finish the setup on the watch, holding the top side button on the watch, go through it and see if your samsung pay is working. Only after that, you can UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE FROM THE WEARABLES APP. 

This will change your CSC / Region Code.
