dssking, i got your back brother...

I took me a few hours to figure out how to put this custom ROM on my galaxy gear watch. Tonight i finally flashed TWRP recovery on my watch and I installed the null_19 ROM update. I too got the error about google manager stopped and as the person ahead of you said it is due to not having an internet connection.

The only way to have an internet connection on your ROM is to enable bluetooth tethering on your phone. When you enable bluetooth tethering on your phone you have to go into your watch and go into settings. Under settings you need to click on bluetooth. From bluetooth you need to click the icon to the right of your phone's name. When you do click on the icon to the right of your phone's name you will see an option towards the bottom that says allow internet access.

When you click that option "allow internet access" you will now be able to add your google account and connect to the internet. Please note that every time you reboot your watch you will have to add this option again to be able to access the internet.

I hope this has helped you and if has show a little love with the thank you button.

It is 3am and i have finally got my watch working the way i want to!

I would like to take this opportunity and thank the developer! The work you have done with NULL ROM is amazing! We truly owe you so much, so thank you agan!!

What am I doing wrong??

I've went through the steps at least 10 times. Every single time I reboot into stock recovery. I have the latest firmware on the phone. I root first with success, I flash recovery with Odin with success (untick Auto Reboot). But when I hold power and when it says Reboot I tap power button 5 times after this, I am booted into stock recovery.

Please help its driving me nuts

If I'm on null 10.1 can I flash twrp recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Flash stock mk7, and wipe gear

Then install twrp (you may need to check tutorial sticky for further info on recovery not sticking)

Hi guys need your help plz.

I have gone through all stages of root in my galaxy gear with latest fw. I manage to root get SuperSU working. Also managed to get rom to watches sd but when i flash through odin the twrp recovery in download mode and then try to enter recovery mode the watch shows the "blue android" that is updating and then restarts with the phone reset...and i have to go through the whole process again...anyone knows what seems to be the problem and what else can i do?

thx
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ampelift:
it seems that we all have the same problem...maybe it is due to latest fw?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ardsar:
I flashed twrp using odin with no issues having the latest firmware on the watch. I did not root prior to flashing twrp as I went back to NULL_19. Also make sure to untick reboot in odin and as soon as twrp is flashed reboot straight into recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ampelift:
Thx did all that but only managed to get it to work when I installed the sdk drivers and run adb commands mentioned in 1st post
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DoofDoof13:
Solution to the recovery mode failure!

For those you are trying to getting into the TWRP recovery but end up formatting the phone to factory settings and starting again, this is a solution that I found from another post that did the trick for me!

1. Root it.

2. Install SuperSU and ROM Toolbox Lite using MobileShare.

3. Flash recovery using ODIN and let it auto reboot.

4. Run ROM Toolbox Lite and select TWRP as recovery and NULL_XX.zip as ROM.

5. After reboot, it execute the scripts as per video.

Enjoy!

(Thanks to AC)

Sorry, forum wont allow me to post pics. Basically during installation of twrp in odin, seems to get stuck at leaving csc.....It has now been to 2 hours and odin seems to still be stuck here. I unticked auto reboot before install. Cant figure out why it seems to get stuck at this leaving csc.....Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot boot into Recovery...Hence cannot load Null *Please Help*

I am struggling to boot into recovery...any tips would be great, I really want to charge this thing up with Null!!

Here is what I have done.

1. I believe I have rooted correctly with impactor.

Is there a way to confirm this? I did find su in /system/xbin/su with the date i did it on the su file

2. I downloaded and copied the latest null rom to the sd card on the gear using wondershare

3. Downloaded Odin

4. Downloaded TWRP recovery

5. Successfully booted into Download mode

6. Installed TWRP following the directions onto the GEAR using ODIN

Is there a way to confirm this?

7. Rebooted into Recovery mode...this is where things go wrong

It does not boot into that nice screen allowing me to install the null rom I copied on earlier. Instead it Resets the device, and I have to re pair it with my phone, and restore everything I have done to it.

I have done this many times, I must be crazy, because I keep doing the same thing expecting a different result.

If anyone has words of advice to get Null ROM on, that would be great...thanks

Flash Rom before or after Flashing Recovery?

this is the question that I have.. Can someone please help. thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thelackie:
I am Nulled!!!

DoofDoof13, thanks for this, I had tried this also, no Joy, but I did figure it out.

If you are having problems getting Recover loaded, go to the beginning of the thread, and run the ADB Shell commands listed, then following the rooting and odin instructions. It worked like a charm. Flashed null 19 then 21 all in about 15 minutes.

Thanks for all the help
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ronny75:
Did not work with mine. Tried several methods as described in this thread but did not get it flashed.

How can i check if my gear is rooted?

Cannot delet boot-from-recovery.p.

twrp is not loading.

Where can i download an older rom as .md5? Just found zip roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] thelackie:
Did you do this first:

$ adb shell

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system

# rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

Then root, then add twrp, then boot into recovery, then install the latest null.

Let me know your exact steps, and then we may be able to work it our.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ronny75:
Didn't work with the adb shell mrthod, but managed to install null finaly.

I deleted the recovery-from-boot.p file with the root brrowser of rom toolbox lite amd installed twrp again. And the gear booted to the twrp recovery and i could install null.20. Thanx for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pinoiryder:
okay, i got the TWRP installed, i see the SuperSU in the apps section, when i select it it ask me to install via google play or TWRP but when i select Play it does not do anything and when i select TWRP it gives me error.. anyone know how to fix this? thank you for all your help
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] carajean:
Somewhere in the instructions there needs to something that says...... You will have to activate twice so borrow a samsung device if need be or two trips to your local cellshop will be needed.

First to boot the device so you can get in to flash to MK7 which is NEEDED not an option.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cwalker29:
Well I tried all morning and thanks for work but this doesn't not work for me and I don't use adb but like twice in my having days. If I just can't Odin the recovery and it work then I don't want it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Some people are just not meant for tweaking and following instructions.. I understand.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cwalker29:
im sooooooooooooooo piss off right now with this adb bull crap. is it any other way to flash ths without using adb??????? I HATE ADB MAN

sorry to sound like a jerk but im really upset . if you only knew my dislike for adb you would understand. im trying to clam down

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 PM ----------

bro im one of those dudes that follow instruction to the FULLEST,.but i rarely ever use adb shell. i been doing this for a while now(5yrs) I learn alot since but me and adb don't get along. like i download the sdk and the drivers went into cmd but cant find the location of the file when i type adb. im a noob to the fullest when its comes to commands with adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
You dont need to use adb, if your pre-rooted, navigate to the location with a file explorer and delete that file.. if it even exist's, it didnt on my gear.. not everyone has that file.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] freefalling0411:
Yeah. That's why I asked for a zip file bud. Save me the time..

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] appelflap:
Nice job again fOmey!

Little question. I'm a total nitwit when it comes to Samsung, but is the default recovery image contained in the firmware packages we flash with Odin? Always like to have an option to go back.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
It certainly does, if you flash the current release of null or a stock image it will revert the recovery back to default..

i have one problem, i did everything and recovery works but when i boot into recovery its so small that i cant work with it.

what am i doing wrong??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Sorry I'm not completely understanding what your saying here.. your saying you see a Samsung logo when booting into recovery mode ?

You should be presented with a screen looking identical to the screenshot on the original post.

Alright guys, I know alot of you are having issues installing twrp onto your gear, so, I will tell you how i got it installed onto my device.

I am NOT RESPONSIBLE if you brick your gear.

1.Root your gear

2.Install rom toolbox on to your gear

3.Open rom toolbox on your gear and allow super user access

4.Scroll down to root browser and enter

5. In root browser, scroll down to system and enter

6. Delete the file that's labelled "recovery-from-boot.p

7. Exit out of tool box completely and reboot your gear

8. Reroot your gear and install twrp again

9. After installing twrp reboot into recovery, you should now have TWRP!!

Are you using a hub or connected direct to the pc? I suggest uninstall the drivers and then reinstall them again, have you tried another pc or laptop?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rnunz:
I am going directly to my laptop..

I have installed the drivers several times, tried different usb ports on the pc and changed cables with no success.

I have MobileGo on the laptop and it sees the Gear as Samsung GT S5690 when I am in the Download mode and tells me to activate the debug mode.

The laptop does not see it at all in this mode.

Thanks for any ideas you have.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jocarog:
If you are using the USB port next to a SD card reader that is considered a hub, the one that it's by itself is normally straight to the motherboard, uninstall Mobile go then try again, or create a new user account under Windows and try Odin again...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
install stock mk7 first. then flash twrp

Try using a higher quality cable? eg official one that came with phone
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rnunz:
Thanks for the ideas/help.

Unfortunately none of them worked.

Is there another way I can flash this rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BigBison420:
is there a ODIN flashable for the ROM ? i am trying to flash an unactivated gear... i need ODIN flashable - adb not working properly on my new machine yet. can i download the initial release anywhere or rename the package and flash in odin?

I solved my problem. I removed the Samsung drivers from my laptop and I was able to install TWRP and then the rom.

Hello, I just received the Gear, i already rooted the device, but when i try and get TWRP on the GEAR using Odin, the instructions say to untick auto reboot....well after it loads, it says in blue RESET! then a few seconds later it says PASS! in green...then nothing happens, on the GEAR screen all i have is the lil android guy under the android guy it says Downloading...Do not turn off target!! with a blue bar below it...dont know what to do after this...? do i take it out of the dock and reset it? or do i just leave it till something happens?

THANKS IN ADVANCED!!

Edit: Never mind, got null_23 ROM on it, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cobyman7035:
so to be safe, should i just ROOT first, then do the OP tutorial? or rooting is optional

i plan on installing that null23.zip rom after installying TWRP recovering for the gear watch

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] funkdoobi:
Odd. So I followed the root procedure, that went perfectly fine. Got superSU on, did the stuff to make it active. Now I rebooted into odin and flashed the TWRP build. Went to reboot into recovery, instead my gear reset and went to like a reset state. Where i'd have to pair it to my phone again to function. So now I'm stuck and can't get into the about device to reenable ADB to try flashing TWRP again.

It'll be kinda annoying to have to backup note3's cm11 build to flash back to stock just to pair it to get past the first screen. Then to have to restore the backup.

Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RockRatt:
The Gear going into reset is normal. You will need to re- pair it for it to work. It does NOT need anything done on your phone side of things other than the gear pairing to the phone. It is a good time to do the re-pairing now as when it does reset you seem to lose watch faces and apps. The TWRP will still be there as well. Once done always backup any all watch faces and apps with Tibu and onto another area of your phone (the wstheme's)

This will also happen whenever you update/flash a newer Gear Manager version. So keep your Gears cradle handy (or connect it via Bluetooth every time).

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] funkdoobi:
I've tried doing a basic bluetooth pairing, but it's requesting gear manager. Which is why I was asking if there was any other way to get past that screen without my having to flash a stock touchwiz to do gear manager garabge then have to flash back to cm11.

Ive flashed several times the recovery but it always shows incorrectly like on the picture of the first page. Ive flashed the stock firmware and re flashed the recovery several times with the same result. Whats wrong? do i need to be rooted or something else? i saw the rooted is needed when the recovery is wiped once you reboot but its not my case
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Try tapping where you think one of the buttons would be if they were correctly aligned, Iv been told by users that going into any menu restores the view.

Sadly I cant reproduce this issue, so its very difficult to diagnose and fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] survivor_evil:
It works if i tap where a button is supposed to be but the menu doesnt get fixed. Does it have to do the android version I have? In your video i see the android mascot is white but on mine it is green. can i go back to a lower version and try to install it from it? but i guess id need custom recovery to install any kind of custom roms.

Help??? Bluetooth (Internet) Tethering not via PDA

Before making this post, I have already spent a couple of days trying to figure it out....but as of now, I NEED HELP :confused::confused:

As others have mentioned and as far as the information I have gathered, correct me if I am wrong and point me in the right direction to solve.

I am trying to get bluetooth tethering to work but since I upgraded my Note 3 via Odin to NB4, i am stuck.

I am able to flash (Infamous, Jedi wthout any problems) but bluetooth tethering doesn't work and the PDANet option is a work-around but DRAINS THE Battery FAST and heats up the Watch (gets HOT). So not a viable option.

What can I do? Am I stuck or is there a miracle?

Also, (if it works), which NB4 roms work that have bluetooth (Internet) tethering working?

Hi

Just bought Gear, downloaded 2 or 3 updates trough Note 3, and now running UBNC1 software.

I followed procedure to root Gear, then flash recovery, and everytime i try to reboot into recovery, Gear wipes everythings instead, and restart like new otut of the box, requesting Note 3 Bluetooth to unlock/1st boot.

So, i can't boot into recovery to flash Null23.

Don't know what to do.

thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Slyon92:
I was having the same problem, keeping getting gear wiped instead of recovery.

You must flash recovery, wait until odin get the comport colored with green with the message "PASS!" (Just wait two minutes)

Then reboot, DON'T GO INTO RECOVERY, root the Gear (i used Cydia Impactor, it give you possibility to automatically open a shell), install superSu and in a shell type:

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 /system

Now reboot into recovery and you should see TWRP!
