[Guide] GPay in unsupported country (Yes, India too) - Wear OS Software and Hacking General

Okay so after having tried several guides, apps hacks and what nots, I couldn't get GPay to work here in India.
However after some more fiddling around I ended up getting access to rather easily than expected.
I'd straight away get to the steps.
1. Download this apk.
2. Install this on watch using whatever method you guys been using to sideloaded APKs to watch.
3. Install tunnel bear vpn (or any other if you prefer)
4. Select US server in VPN app. Make sure you're connected.
5. Open the just installed GPay app in the watch and complete the setup and add a new card.
(Mine got stuck at selecting Google account for some time but then got through after switching VPN off, dunno what's actually going on)
6. Once setup is complete, you should see your card in GPay, and the GPay qs tile available.
Note: Though I've successfully added the card, I haven't tried payment yet, I'll update about it soon. Though it should work 99% since my card is shown in the GPay app.
Note 2: After the setup, I disconnected vpn and have been using my watch and phone without vpn and proxy.
With wifi and Bluetooth both enabled, and still haven't lost GPay app. Even after reboot. So hopefully it stays.

Hey I'm unable to install that apk, it's telling that I'm trying to downgrade the version? Is it because gpay is already in my watch, but disabled?

Yep. Install "GPay enabler" available in watch play store. It'll let you enable the app if it's already installed but disabled.

No it's working already tried that, that app removed from play store, sideloaded it, didn't work. But however found another way, instead of installing gpay, just reset the watch and while setting it up, switch on US vpn on mobile. Even working after reboot.

Omg dude, you helped me so much. In my ****ry it wasn't available on watch4. Bought the damn watch because of google wear and google pay support.
Sruggled few times. But finally got it working without VPN. Tried with VPN but it didn't help.
Downloaded the app you specified. After that updated the app with google play one.
And after it showed up in the app list.
Restarted the phone. Worked. Dude you saved me. Was loosing hope already. In few days will try to use it. hopefully it will work
Saved my ass
good luck to all!

Got the app installed. Enabled gpay, but not helping as much as I hoped. VPN doesn't help.
Maybe some other tips for watch 4? Edit2: card tile is avaliable, but does not register when trying to pay. Just says that try again on the terminal.

Will this work on Galaxy watch 4? Has anyone tried this on watch 4?

---

Any words whether after this LTE wont work in the purchased country? Could someone confirm if lte and google pay both work?

I was able to have Samsung PAy work, but only after changing the CSC to MEA. I use SPay, not Gpay

Hi,
I regret that I read your answer late. I have tried changing the CSC to SER (Russia) in hopes of getting the Samsung pay and ecg blood pressure features. But I later realized that those apps need to install a companion app in the phone and those are region locked and couldn't install on phone. I wonder how you get the Samsung pay to work. Also when I tried to change the csc back to INS (default) it didn't show that option at all, can you verify whether you're getting csc selector by running the command *#272*imei# ?

You can change CSC only once. There is no option to go back. At least for now. If I learn trick to change, i will let you know.
You are correct, you would need companion app for ECG and Spay. but those APKs are easily available on net. Search for Spay Phone companion apk and install on phone. That's how I was able to make Spay work,
Fo ecg, bp, follow @Dante63 trend on SGW4 page.

Thanks @avirendra
I have just installed the health monitor from following @Dante63.
Now trying to install g pay via the hacks on xda.
Since I'm on the Russian region, I have S pay in watch by default but when it tries to connect to phone, it directly goes to play store to install Spay watch plugin which is not available in India. Can you share where/how you installed this plugin app on your phone?

Hi people,
Just sharing the steps I've tried to install and set up Samsung pay on my galaxy watch with my samsung phone.
Prerequisites:
I've setup the CSC to SER (Russia) region using the IMEI code, where Samsung pay is available for the Watch 4. I've downloaded the latest available samsung pay watch plugin - https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ch-plug-in-2-6-88-20006-android-apk-download/ and also setup remote debugging by following this article - https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...-one-ui-3-0-its-actually-pretty-easy-0384228/
Once that is done, simply copy the downloaded apk to the adb directory and using the command to install the plugin to your phone.
adb install <apk-name>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once that's done, open Samsung pay on the watch and choose proceed on phone, this should install the plugin app in the phone. Since I use the Russian region in the watch, I got the terms and conditions on Russian and then I was able to add my Indian debit card to the watch. Now, long press the back button to launch the Samsung pay to initiate the payment.
I tried the google pay app using the steps over here -https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/google-pay-unsupported-country-will-app-will-be-pre-installed.4325033/page-2#post-85581263, but it keeps on disabling and when I enable it, I get a message saying its not available in my region despite having it setup. But, when I again tried to uninstall and reinstall with the steps and the card is available. Some say that if we make a payment with google pay, the app don't disappear, yet to do that. Will update once I go to a store nearby.

Excellent. I am using Spay regularly without any issues. Have't tried Gpay yet.

S pay worked well, G pay for disabled before I got out to a shop. So sticking with S pay. It was cool showing the watch to the terminal, the guys were simply staring like they are seeing alien tech.
Good thing that ny existing S pay application on my phone didn't got affected in any way. I still put on a magic show to those old machines using MST and S pay.

Absolutely. Using Spay on watch is fun. No internet, no bluetooth, simple NFC works and it's super convenient.
It would have good to get Phone SPay connected to Watch Spay, as you lose points on using Spay on Watch. But again convenience matters
