Just to be sure :

1/ pick up a stock ROM from this post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463743

(I am not sure about what you call "base" MK7, I was thinking already been on base cause the ROM number was ending by MK7...)

2/ flash this downloaded ROM to the gear with Odin

3/ flash the recovery

4/ then install the null11

Did I get it right ?

[MENTION=753650]texeros[/MENTION] : which stock ROM did you use ? (A link will be great)

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] firasusman:
Thanks for recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] certomaz:
Flashed OK via Odin, but the RECOVERY is not working for me. My gear is with: BGL-V700XXUAMK7:(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
What you mean its not working.. more information please.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] certomaz:
Sorry...

Well, when i try to enter RECOVERY in order to flash the ROM it just shows the green robot on it with text "System actualisation in progress" or something like this and then restarts in a brand new state... everything erazed with factory settings...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Are you running MK7 base ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] certomaz:
Well i think so - BGL-V700XXUAMK7

It ends with MK7, so my gues would be yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jankluever:
Same here - also on V700XXUAMK7
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] certomaz:
I have flashed the BTU (UK) version of the MK7 and now the RECOVERY is working just fine. Now i'll try to install the ROM :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jankluever:
Ok, will try that too. Did you flash the UK Firmware with Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] certomaz:
Yep, this one: BTU-V700XXUAMK7:highfive:

---------- Post added at 03:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

Everything is OK, i've been able to install the ROM.:cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] not-i:
Very strange. I wouldn't think the recovery would be csc dependant?

[MENTION=1620550]fOmey[/MENTION] is your rom from BTU base?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Sure is.. how strange is it hey !
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] derrtydee:
i just wanted to throw my experience out there, if it could be of any help.

i went from your null rom 10 to version 11. saw in previous posts to try and install 10.1 first, then recovery, then try to install version 11, but i couldn't find the 10.1 update at all. (searched your host site and browsed your other files, but you only had version 11 out there.) my ROM base is JDQ39.V700XXUAMK7 i was having the hardest time trying to get the recovery to install, like some of the others in the thread, every time i flashed it with Odin and then went to reboot into recovery on the gear, it would do a hard reset, and i would have to pair the gear with my phone again to get it active, or just bypass all of that altogether and try again without activating the gear. rinse, repeat. Odin would recognize that my gear was plugged in, and it would say that the install passed, but that was about it. after about 2 hours of this, i remembered that every time you perform a hard reset, you have to re-enable usb debugging every time in the Gear Settings > About Gear > Tap the Software Version (mine only takes 7 touches.) when i finally realized this, rather than pressing the button on the side of the gear all those times to get into download/recovery, i flashed the recovery file again, and after it completed (it literally only took 30 seconds vs. the 5 minutes it took on all the failed attempts) i just used CMD on my laptop to open ADB and entered ADB REBOOT RECOVERY that way. brought up TWRP instantly. made a backup, rebooted it, enabled MTP and copied version 11 over to the gear, then entered recovery via CMD again, installed, and it's running just fine. i saw in the OP that people had to have the UK based ROM, but (and i say this with all due respect as a humble n00b) it seems that i don't... and it's working just fine. just took a call and a few pictures, about to get bluetooth tethering up and running to verify that functionality too.

incidentally enough, something else I was having a hard time searching for in the threads, with version 10, pictures that were taken on the gear were not automatically transferred over to my Note 3. with version 11, they are once again. (thank you for that.)

so, that's my story. thank you [MENTION=1620550]fOmey[/MENTION]. donation coming soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
So my Galaxy Gear is running the Hong Kong based MK7 rom, I have to first flash the UK (BTU) based MK7 rom first and then install the TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Try flashing it over the hong kong, just backup first..

I need to figure out why its region locked like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
WHy is there a difference in the roms when the files when download from both regions look the same?

How do I make a back up when I have not installed TWRP yet?

IN the past it was easy to install the custom rom as they were just rom files .md5.

Now we have to install TWRP first and then update through TWRP.

Can we please have the old fashion and easy option back for installing the rom by Odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
No chance, double the work for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
What is a person just got a new Galaxy Gear running an old firmware. OUt of the box does he just go ahead and install the UK based MK7 rom and then install TWRP?

Try to help a friend who will be getting the Galaxy Gear today.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Spankatron3651:
Your Gear is a piece of junk out of the box. Definitely install MK7 and TWRP immediately. Then buy fOmey a beer!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
So it will not be a problem if my friend installs UK rom over HK rom right?

To bring it back to stock, all is need is to update the latest local stock firmware over odin and everything is brought back to stock settings for resale?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Spankatron3651:
Yes your friend can flash the UK rom over the HK rom.

And yes it is just that easy to return to stock.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] le3ky:
Ditto, I'm on V700XXUAMK7 and after "successfully" flashing the recovery, restarting into recovery just shows the Samsung one, with the option to restart the watch. Which sometimes wipes the watch too..

I've tried rebooting via adb as someone else had mentioned with no luck either.

The next thing to try is flashing the V700XXUAMK7 from this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463743

How would this help? Because I'm running the same rom already aren't I? (via the official update in the UK).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] meelas.nahk:
ill try

im not sure there but ill try it out and as i dont have anything important on mi device i dont mind if it resets it
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
I tell you what I'm going to flash a entirely stock rom and flash the recovery straight onto it.. Hopefully I can replicate these issues, cause personally I have never had any issues !
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] meelas.nahk:
Yep give it a go im thanks for the info though
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] le3ky:
Cheers fOmey!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
I just full wiped my gear, flashed a entirely different rom.. I think it was from Saudi Arabia ? LOL.

Flashed the recovery, with absolutely no issues what so ever.

Sorry to say but it looks like user error to me.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] le3ky:
Hah! Possibly, the instructions are pretty straightforward though lol... This is exactly what I did..

1: enable USB debugging on gear.

2: adb reboot download.

3: attach gear to pc, open odin and flash recovery.

4: odin says all ok, watch reboots.

5: adb reboot recovery.

6: it boots into the stock Samsung recovery, click OK to restart watch.

So I don't think I've made any errors (tell me if I have though!)? I'll flash the UK rom from the other thread and try the above again later today and report back :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
What category do you flash the recovery under tho ? And what version of Odin ?

I don't know what to tell you, if I can't replicate the issue.. it makes absolutely no sense to me why it doesn't work.

I mean especially if I did a full wipe and flashed a stock rom image, which will overwrite practically ANY changes I have made on the gear back to stock.

I had no issues..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gdbtg:
OK just to give you an upadte :

1/ Flash your new recovery file (still on the stock MK7 french rom)

Still unable to get the TWRP by pressing the button continously BUT able to access TWRP interface by cmd : ADB REBOOT RECOVERY

So may be here is the point ....

Anyway thanks for your help and work !

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] le3ky:
Odin 3.09 under AP.

I'll flash another stock rom and do the same thing and see if it works instead
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] beagle1974:
Hi , I also was unable to get gear into twrp kept resetting gear in the end I flashed the 10.1 using Odin then installed recovery from that ROM then upgraded to 11.1 which is fantastic now I can Bluetooth tether to my nexus 4 big thumbs up to developer and will be buying a beer on pay day
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
Where is the Null 10.1 ROM?

I have the Null 8 ROM. Which I had downloaded sometime ago.

I am wondering should I flash the stock UK MK7 ROM first and the install the TWRP or flash the Null 8 ROM and then install TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] beagle1974:
The guy who shows you how to get into recovery on YouTube as put a link on one of his videos

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] le3ky:
So fOmey, I flashed the stock MK7 ROM from the other thread, and then flashed this recovery... and it worked...

So that's strange :/ I was definitely running the MK7 that got pushed to my device from Samsung, so no idea why it didn't work on that :/
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] AuRoN89:
same problem! currently running MK7.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lukasz:
I confirm the same problem - and the solution - I am on null_V10 now,

- flashed v02 recovery using odin 3.09

- regardless if odin has "auto reboot" ticked on, or off - and I reboot it manually after taking it out from the cradle - when Gear reboots with the the button pressed it keeps rebooting loop, when I release the button it reboots into the V10, when I enter into the recovery - it is stock samsung recovery.

So far I never used ADB, ( I use Wondershare normally ) so I downloaded ADB - so final solution is = flash recovery with odin, let it reboot normally, then close odin open ADB, enable connection, and type "ADB reboot recovery"

- and it WORKS now
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] RaiderX303:
Anyone having the issue where stock recovery keeps wiping the Gear after flashing TWRP, you need to root first and delete the recovery-on-boot.p file in the system directory.

After rooting, run these commands with ADB

$ adb shell

$ su

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

# rm /system/recovery-on-boot.p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:

This was driving me nuts..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jase33:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Did you flash the latest version ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jase33:
i believe so...2.7 is what i have...right from the OP
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] laurenx:
hi...Laurence here from Malaysia

I also encountered "cannot boot in TWRP (recovery mode)" after flash via ODIN 3.09

I did follow the script as stated in your forum tru ADB,

but it stated NO SUCH recovery-on-boot.p file being found

and I re-check my system folder, only have "recovery-from-boot.p" file, is it the one?

Thankz
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Yes remove that file. Delete it.

Once you have done so, reflash the recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] spdmbj:
Its too small to read :(

Hi

i have the same pb as jase33

it's too small when i start in recovery mode.

thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
He full wiped & reflashed a stock rom in ODIN and it worked.. suggest you do the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] spdmbj:
How i can do full wipe ?

How i can do the full wile on gear ?

i do it with Odin ?

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

i put the original stock rom and original recovery, it's Ok.

but when i put your recovery 2.7 for installing your rom, it's always too small.

may be it's because the wipe data, but i don't know how i can do on my gear.

Jase33 has probably the answer ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jase33:
this is what i did:

boot into download mode

flash v700xxuamk7 in odin 3.09

started galaxy gear

reboot into download mode and flashed null twrp 2.7 in odin 3.09

started galaxy gear

rebooted into recovery (adb reboot recovery) worked fine
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] spdmbj:
That's what i did :o(

thanks for you answer.

it's exacly what i did :(

but it's always very small the recovery 2.7, i can't read menu on my gear.

i'll try again, and i'll inform you for the next tep.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MCube74:
Installed the TWRP successfully and also installed null_11.1.zip

Out of the box I first updates to the latest stock firmware from UK (MK7). Then install TWRP and then pushed the null_11.1.zip file to sdcard and then booted into recovery to install the ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] spdmbj:
It's Ok, That work

I did again all the installation and i confirm that it's working.

Thank you very much :highfive:

I have tried every way possible to brick the gear. And to get error messages with this recovery. 99.9% of errors are users not reading and not flowing directions as there posted... All fOmey work is solid. Anytime you flash or use recovery. Always reset gear in settings.. I have found that fixes a lot of problems for me. And always remember. Every device is different. As we really don't know what you have done to it or trying to get out of it..

Hi

Thank you for all this work you' ve done.

it's amazing to see how samsung is not thinking about letting us use our devices this way.

So, i installed your ROM 10.0 a week ago.

I would like to update it to the latest version you made but being new to all this, I really don't understand where to start.

I tried to install the first link you have from sourceforge but it doesn't seem to change anything :( and I don't know what to do with the second one (link) named : TWRP ZIP TEMPLATE

Sorry for asking, truely...

I tried also to press the panic button from samsung (you know you have to press 3 times on the gear button to send a text, the gps position and a photo to whomever you want) but i doesn't work anymore. I couldn't locate the system file to change the log...

thank you

cannot get it to work

hi guys, followed every step perfectly but just cant get the recovery to stick. i can see the device in cmd but never get a "su" popup message (on the watch i asume) and with the the bottom command i get an error of no such file found. never ran into this kind of problems but is there anybody that can give a full "how to"? sorry for the inconvinience. this are the commands i give in cmd and the results:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ryanbeck07:
I get the same error on adb shell. (screenshot attached) I did get the "su" popup and did grant adb acess but havent had luck with the last step. Please advise.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DomZH:
hey there

i keep getting the stock system recovery and whiping of whole device to factory.

i noticed that i can't complete this sequence:

"$ adb shell

$ su

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

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

"

the las line won't work for me. it says it cannot find this directory.

and als i dont have to click on a su-pop up when i put SU into it. it just switches. no notification what so ever.

i rooted it with cydia impactor before. could it be that it did not root? how can i check if im rooted?

do you have any help for me? i'm sporting MK7, swiss model.

thanks so much in advance if anyone could help me further with this!!:confused:

If you getting error running these lines:

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

change them to this!

$ adb shell

Twice now today, my phone has refused to be woken by the power or home buttons, causing me to hold down the power button until it reboots. screen just remains black.

I plan a route on my magician using tt5.1, say for example from newmarket to manchester. When i run demo mode on tomtom to see my way, after a few minutes, tomtom will just swith off. I have not yet tried on an actual trip as Im waiting for replacement of my faulty blutoothe reciever.

I thought it was a software incompatibility but i have no softwares installed on my magician yet. I also thought it was due to my simcard so i removed it while running tomtom. I have also tested using 2 different SD cards, 1GB and 256MB. Same problem.

Has someone experienced this problem?

From memory I think that if you're not connected to a GPS receiver your PDA will just shut down the screen if there's no user input within the time set in your power settings.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sh500:
It's nothing to do with not being connected to a GPS receiver; you can use the Demo in TT without one.

The problem is more than likely related to the 'POIs'. Initially, to test if it is this, turn them off in Tom Tom settings and run the demo again. If it is the problem then goes to the FTP:

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/SatNav/Tomtom/

... and download the Patch POI TTN5.zip. This should resolve the issue.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] nm8:
sh500

im already logged in but i cant access the link... it says 530 Permission Denied.

Please repost the link.

In the mean time I will try to turn off the POIs.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] sh500:
Once you get the access denied message, keep the FTP window open behind it. Then go to 'File' menu and select 'Login As..' Type in 'xda' (in small letters) for both the username and password; this should get you in.

Using the Windows FTP, you sometimes have to re-type in the username and password to get access.
