How to Change CSC in Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 / 6 Classic

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic have taken the smartwatch world by storm, offering a blend of style and functionality. However, did you know that you can unlock even more features by changing the CSC(Country Specific Code) on your watch? In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to change CSC in your Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 or 6 Classic, enabling you to access premium features not available in your region.

Understanding CSC

Before we dive into the process, let’s understand what CSC is all about. CSC stands for Country-specific code and it plays a pivotal role in determining the functionality of your Samsung smartwatch. It verifies your device’s location, unlocking various features and facilities. For example, it enables specific updates from both the company and government sides, ensuring you stay informed about benefits and receive relevant software updates tailored to your region.

However, there’s a catch. CSC also imposes limitations. If a feature isn’t available in your region, you won’t be able to use it. But fear not, as we can bypass these restrictions by changing the CSC. Whether you want to access Samsung Pay or other premium features, this guide has you covered.

How to Change CSC in Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 / 6 Classic

Changing the CSC (Country Specific Code) on a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 or 6 Classic isn’t a straightforward process, as it involves modifying settings typically controlled by the device’s firmware. Before we proceed, please be aware that tampering with system settings can void your warranty and potentially lead to device issues. Proceed with caution and consider seeking professional help if necessary.

Here’s a step-by-step process to change the CSC on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 or 6 Classic:

Warning: Backup your data and ensure your watch has at least a 70% charge before proceeding. You can do this through the Galaxy Wearable app on your paired smartphone.

Method 1: Developer Mode

Open the settings on your watch and navigate to “About watch” > “Software” > “Build number”.

Tap on the build number several times until you see a message indicating that Developer Mode has been enabled.

Return to the main “Settings” menu and locate “Developer options”. In this menu, look for an option related to changing the CSC or region settings.

Follow the on-screen prompts to select your desired region or CSC code.

After changing the CSC, restart your Samsung watch to enjoy the benefits of the new firmware.

Method 2: Watch Dialer

Open the Samsung phone Dialer app on your watch and dial #272719434266344#.

A warning will appear; accept it.
