[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mahtan Tasadur:
Just updated with Odin using the new firmware on a Verizon Note 3 USA Gear combo and everything is working good for me, save Exchange as everyone already knows is bonkers ATM.

For those that were lost like me initially, :)

Downloaded the Stock Firmware http://uploaded.net/file/njroq150

Downloaded this Odin http://www.4shared.com/rar/ZUA2B1FW/Odin307.html

Once Odin was downloaded I just extracted to Desktop

Once the firmware was downloaded I extracted the two files inside to the Odin folder I had just put on the Desktop

Put the Gear into Download mode (at the watch home screen, hold power until it says watch rebooting, rapid press the power button until you get to a menu with three options, press the power button three times quickly, should move selection to Download mode, hold power about 3 seconds and release, should be in download mode! :D )

Connect everything up via USB to PC (I am assuming everyone has the USB Drivers, if not http://hotfile.com/dl/247408965/8a6739d/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.27.0.exe.html)

Launch Odin

Odin should identify the watch as (0:[COMxx]).

Check PDA and press the button. Select the file V700XXUAMK7_V700OXAAMK7_HOME.tar.md5

Then Press Start

Sit back and wait, Gear should reboot and show the upgrading android animation and Odin will display PASS in green if all went well and its safe to exit and disconnect.

Hope this helps people that were confused like me. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] acheney1990:
I've updated my Gear Manager App, and now the notification section has moved, but I still don't have "other notifications" choice under notifications. My Gear itself says Software Version: V700XXUAMJ8. Note sure what to do here, how can I get this new updated.

BTW, my Gear is rooted and running the Nova Launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jbarresi19:
This is exactly what I wanna do with will I lose root or nulls rom?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mahtan Tasadur:
I'm not rooted so I can't properly answer that. I would assume you will since it is technically manually flashing an OTA. And on my rooted devices I recall OTAs normally killing root. I'm not sure if the Gear Supports stuff like SuperSU that can keep root through updates.

I recall somewhere else I read people were having to wait until Null updated the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jbarresi19:
That's what I kinda figured and why I will probably just wait till null updates his rom....but thanks for the great directions.....whether I use them or not that was very helpful.....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Maybe you should read some more? The answer is even in this thread...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SAVJR:
I was able to get it working. Way cool! It does break root though.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
I'm non rooted and the update didn't appear as though it changed much. Not yet at least...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Wow Samsung did a great job with these notifications. Very impressed!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] TheismanMeetLT:
When I extract the file BTU-V700XXUAMK7-20131115153259, there are 6 files. I don't see the V700XXUAMK7_V700OXAAMK7_HOME.tar.md5 in the zip
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mahtan Tasadur:
Hmm. I used the Blue ul.to.mirror not the Hotfile one. That might be it, kinda ruins the purpose of it being called a mirror though. Did you get the one from the Hotfile link?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SAVJR:
The only downside I see for now (on VZW US) is that i still receive notifications when the screen is on. Exchange works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] TheismanMeetLT:
Thanks. I'll try that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Amdathlonuk:
I see there's new sound options also

Multimedia

Ringtone

Notifications

Also, the battery life 'SEEMS' a lot better but will need to check this over the course of a week or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] usacarry:
I used the Blue ul.to.mirror and it had the correct files. Just finished upgraded and testing out the notifications, works great. I had taken pictures of it this morning to put on eBay but I think I may be keeping it a little longer.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mchapman007:
Followed instructions as posted, works like a champ... VZW GS4, USA
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
Did you update the Gear (to MK7), Gear Manager (to 1.5), or both? The Gear displayed full Exchange messages on my Note 10.1-14 on MK7/1.5 but displays a security warning instead of the message on my N3. Both my N3 and N10.1-14 use Samsung's mail client to connect to the same Exchange server using the exact same settings. Wierd.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
Damn, you can reply to text from the gear now to... this update is amazing...

This was how the gear should of been out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
For those of you who this is actually working, do you use watch styler and does that work?? There is also an update for it now and I have had it for 2 days it works great now, just want to know if you are using it as well and have you had any problems with it with doing to flash rom/firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Nikolatravic:
No update for serbia yet :(((
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
Did you get the full update too??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] usacarry:
Yes, I just installed Watch Styler and setup a new face. Works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
One more question then im going to try this. Where is the US stock rom/firmware to flash back to if an issue arises? I looked at the list but i didnt see one for US just uk maybe i missed it
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SAVJR:
I did, but then I restarted the Gear and it seems to be working properly. It is a great addition! I use Go SMS and I cannot figure out how to get the full text to display like on ATN But the update is stellar.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
I did the firmware update through odin
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] inmnbob:
I can't get any updates to the firmwear just the galaxy gear app which broken my exchange emails. I get notifications but there us no detail in the message. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JigJanus:
............now the gear is perfect!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sinalco:
I got today i firmware update for my german SM-N9005 . After that the Gear Manager became also an update to 1.5.111304. The wtch has firmware V700XXUAMIII.

In the menue of the gear manager is no "advanced notification". Does this appears only, when i got a special rom for the gear - or do i need the watch-firmware: V700XXUAMK7?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] :
You need MK7 on the watch
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
are you having any issue with the stock email client?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] halfshark:
The way it should be

The Gear should never have been released without this capability.

It got trashed by everyone (as it should have) because it couldn't do perform the reason you would want a smartwach to begin with.... full notifications!

We all saw the potential (which is why we bought one), and slowly its starting to come through.

I still think they could have waited 2 more weeks, and rolled all of this new functionality in the device on release day.

By the end of the year.... we wont even remember what was on the Gear when it was released HAHHAHA
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bujd:
Google Voice App Notifications

Can anyone tell me whether, with the new updates, the watch will show notifications from the Google Voice app? As much as I dislike the app, I use it because I want all of my texts, both ingoing and outgoing, to be replicated both in the messaging app I use on my phone and in the Google Voice web interface. Using the Google Voice app is the only way I've found that to be possible.

Oddly, I was in the process of packing up my Gear to return it to Amazon in favor of a Sony Smartwatch 2 precisely because the Gear lacked notification functionality for GV. If this update enables it, I might hang on to it and wait, or even flash the UK firmware via ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] halfshark:
I will try it now. Will inform in a few
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] deathdreams:
Works but no option to reply
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bujd:
Thank you very much. I think I may actually hang on to it in light of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] halfshark:
Yes it works very well. You get the icon of the Google voice, next line who made the call, and last line a transcript of what the caller left.

Im surprised it worked.

Im running Galaxy S4 (AT&T) with UK firmware on Gear
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
OKAY, I JUST DID THE MANUAL UPDATE AND I AM PISSED AT SAMSUNG. WHY WAS THIS NOT THE WAY THESE WATCHES WERE SET UP????? WHY SAMSUNG?? AND WHY WAS THE UPDATE WITHHELD FROM YOUR CUSTOMERS IN THE US?

Sorry for the capslock had to step up on the soap box. Anyway. I just updated using ODIN it was easy, first time i ever did it! Thanks guys for the help! This is the way this watch should have shipped

ATT white note 3 running stock

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] idle0095:
Can we get some faster mirrors please. Hotfile and the other one are way to slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
Just a quick FYI. For those of you with the new firmware. When you open the dialer you can pull up contacts by typing in the name using the number pad and pressing that little icon on the right side it will gibe you the options from your contacts list.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chuko303:
Mine says latest update installed and it hasn't. Tmobile t900
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
So it looks like for us in the USA this update has not come through yet? Looks like this will be the best update for our Gears. One thing I hate w these updates, it resets my Gear and all the side loaded aps need to be redownloaded to the Gear. I am not rooted. It also causes all my watch styler faces to no longer work and I have to recreate them.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bujd:
Gear Owners In The USA

I'm also in the US. But, I'm much too impatient to wait for Samsung to push the newest firmware to my Gear. So, I flashed the UK version using ODIN (following instructions here at post 53. The flash was easy and worked perfectly. No reason that I can see that anyone in the USA should hesitate to do it too.

I now get notifications from Google Voice. I get notifications from Touchdown (meaning that whatever broke exchange notifications in this firmware can be fixed [see, e.g., here] by using Touchdown or, perhaps, another 3rd party email client). And lots of other stuff. One thing, though, it may be my imagination, but there seems to be an inordinately long delay between the appearance of a notification on my phone and the appearance of that same notification on the watch. Seems to be a 20-30 second delay. I don't recall that before.

Aside from the notification delay (which may have been there all along and I just didn't notice), the Gear seems to work faster and more smoothly than with the prior USA firmware.

Bravo Samsung. And lucky ... I was literally packaging my gear up to return it for a refund when I saw the info on this new update today. But for this update, I'd probably be wearing the Sony Smartwatch 2 that I bought to replace the Gear (btw, while there is an app for the Sony that will serve notifications from most phone apps that give notifications, and while the developer of that application has created an impressive piece of software and provides even more impressive customer support, this new solution on the Gear is more attractive visually because the notifications include the icon for the app whose notification is being displayed).

Anyway, I'm now a happy Gear owner, whereas before I was a slightly befuddled (at the dearth of notifications available) and extremely disappointed Gear owner who was about to become a former Gear owner.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sponge66:
BTW.. OMG the Notifications are perfect now!!!!! :good: :D :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bujd:
Thanks!

Halfshark,

Thanks for testing GV notifications for me. As my previous post indicates, I have now applied the update. Your effort to test and demonstrate GV notifications was the deciding factor for me. So, much appreciated that you took the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
thanks for info but will wait for update. Tired of rooting and Odin etc, etc.

How can I force the new ROM to.the watch?

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

I can't understand how Samsung can update the Gear Manager and release it while it breaks email. I mean come on it isn't like there are 200,000 apps they have to check out
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mutantblack:
Don't see the watch update. Only GM update so I went ahead and update the watch with odin and all works well.

ATT Note 3 with US gear.

Chomp SMS works really well. Have to test out the rest. One thing I noticed(not sure if somebody already had mentioned) is when you go into task manager, you can close all the apps with delete all button. Before, you have to close them manually I believe.

Absolutely love this new update. I love my gear even more. None of the other smartwatch even come close now.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cydonian66:
Couple of questions:

If I load the UK update, will I be able to revert back to original when they decide to release an update for US customers without any issues?

Someone mentioned you can now reply to texts, we always had the capability but only through S Voice. Is it any different now?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] spinkick:
Use desksms if you want to replicate all your texts without Google voice. Works great. Also I think the new hangouts keeps all history at Google.

I'm glad everyone is elated as I was when I discovered this yesterday morning! Happy days
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] zelduy:
I'm in indonesia.. and I just can't wait for the ota.. so I just flash the odin update.. and now the gear is soo awesome..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Andrewtst:
I also update to latest UK version, my local - Malaysia still holding the initial firmware.. :rolleyes:

Update success. :D

Now my GEAR support 3rd party apps notification as well. :D

It is working fine. :D :D :D Now GEAR is perfect, working as it suppose. :D :D :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] peewee2:
Received OTA for Netherlands :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chowdarygm:
with all application notifications enabled ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] peewee2:

don't worry, Not only US, Germany also didn't get it yet, we got an update but without all notifications. UK is enjoying all the first updates

thats so bad Samsung.....Germany got the update but without all notifications :mad::mad::mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] peewee2:
Do you have the latest gear manager installed? You need both!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chowdarygm:
yes, Installed the latest updated one from samsung store, which updated the Gear firmware, I see only notifications section as extra, no 'more notifications'
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
I'm feeling really stupid here, I can't het this thing into DL mode to save my life.

I push the button on then thing until the reboot screen pops up. I then try everyway I can think of then get to DL mode and absolutely NOTHING works.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] peewee2:
The gear manager from the samsung store does not update the firmware on the gear. It's just a program we need.

In the gear manager you can check for new firmware (OTA).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pellinator:
A España tampoco ha llegado la actualización del gear pero si de la aplicación.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawand Kurdy:
Hi Guys .:D

i am planning to buy a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 Snapdragon S800 Version but i have some questions .

First i dont care about warranty so i dont have any problem with KNOX Void Warranty 0×1.

i read that "It isn’t possible to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmwares/bootloaders (An attempt sets 0×1) (even though some people state, downgrade is possible when omitting the bootloader file in a firmware package). By downgrading from KNOX-enabled to KNOX-disabled firmware, your devices will be locked to installation of newer firmwares."

and ". If you try to downgrade to KNOX-disabled system(MGA for example) your device will be flaged as KNOX Void Warranty 0×1 and will get a special lock – you won’t be able to update to any KNOX-enabled firmware even by ODIN. Samsung’s 4.3 update is KNOX-enabled, so if you tried to downgrade to KNOX-disabled firmware(for example MH8->MGA), you won’t be able to install 4.3 update."

so this mean if the The KNOX flag being tripped i wont be able to flash (install) any stock roms (newer builds) .

I have tried them all and by top 5 is the following:

1- Next browser - fast loading pages, reliable and smooth, lacking some sync

2- Chome - fast loading pages, reliable, amazing sync, but sometimes sluggish

3- Dolphin browser - slow loading pages, reliable, but sometimes sluggish

4- Opera - slow loading pages, reliable, but sometimes sluggish

5- UC browser - fast loading pages, unreliable and sometimes sluggish

What about your experience?
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Jequan:
I also prefer Next browser and think it is the best so far. UC Browser seemed very fast though. Some sites had trouble and the lack of google sync seemed to suck.

What lack of sync do you experience with next browser? With the newest version it syncs all my bookmarks and folders from PC chrome wich is great.
