rooting to a different country - Samsung Gear S

I recently purchased a gear s off ebay, turns out it originated from Korea I think. (SK Telecomm) Gear works great other than the mobile network. I looked around and found out mobile networks over there are on a different frequency than here in Canada. Question is, can I root this with a Canadian firmware to get the mobile network working? I checked Sammobile for canadian firmware but there was nothing there for.
Gear version - SM-R750
Firmware - R750XXU2BOK1
Phone - Galaxy S6 Edge
Android Version - 5.1.1

I did the same thing as you (watch came from Montreal) and am curious about this as well.

Gear version - SM-R750S
Firmware - R750XXU2BOK1
Phone - Galaxy S6 Edge
Android Version - 6.0.1

I've got nothing. Sorry, bud. I'm on the France rom (flashed in Odin) because it doesn't have all the SK stuff on it.

I haven't been able to. That's why I wanted to try the Canadian rom, but no luck for me.

S6 Edge for docomo is SC-04G, check it at samsung live update. I think you can extract the boot.img and modem from the firmware, zip and flash it.
http://samsung-updates.com/region/?region=DCM
I also have SC-04G. Was flash successful, do you have mobile network now?
Thinking to flash 5.1.1 from US/UK because NTT DoCoMo is very slow with updates.

Are you able to flash to other country's rom on SC-04G?

Cannot update g850f (tun) 4.4 to 5.0.2

Helo everybody,
Im stuck a bit with update. I have downloaded the 5.0.2 android for my phone from sammobile but unfortunately odin always fail with the firmwares.
The only thing what i can do is installing back my old firmware, Otherwise not even kies could recognise my phone.
Is there a reason why its now allowing me to update it?
My current android is G850FXXU2BNK3_G850FOJV2BNK5_TUN
And i have tried G850FXXU2COI3_G850FNEE2COI1_NEE (This is for nordic countried...5.0.2)
and also tried G850FXXU2COE4_G850FH3G2COE1_H3G(This is for GB and H3G service provider)
Unfortunately both failed at the end.
I have tried the usual troubleshooting which was described here, but i think i just cannot find the proper 5.0.2 android for my phone.
Is it important which country i choose?
I bought the phone on ebay a year ago, made in Vietname, and the csc is TUN.
Please let me know if you need any more information.
Thank you.
Same with French xef?
Any specufic branding?

Helo. Sorry im quite noobish with this particular topic. What does xef means? Do you mean have i tried with any French firmware?
No it is just a simple sm-g850f (Tun).
I have put back the tunesian (original) firmware and it works like a charm now again....but still no luck with 5.0.2

I used Xperifirm and Flashtool. Something similar to the following guide:
""xperiablog.net/2014/08/16/create-your-own-ftf-firmware-files-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool-guide/""
Which firmware did you use?
Wow, anyone have any idea why it is not enabled? Due to patents? Not working well with US's prints?

How is your mobile signal after flashing the Italy firmware? Mine is pretty bad. It shows "4G" but the speed is like 2G. I tried the Italy, UK and Nordic firmwares all with the same problem.
EDIT: It worked in the end.

You can flash stock firmware for your model only but normally any region is okay. You could always just install the messaging app?
Have you tried firmware update with smart switch?
