Newb needs help!

Hey guys, having problems with one aspect of installing null. Everything goes great until I try to go to recovery to install null. Whenever I do that, it just resets the gear to stock. I had flashed the recovery correctly and it won't go to it. Have tried the whole process numerous times with no success. Any ideas? If so, try to be as specific as you can as I'm not too swift with this stuff. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] styz:
I can't believe how many people post questions without even reading AT LEAST the FIRST post. Then you guys wonder why no one wants to help you.

This isn't a ROM. This is a recovery.

Null_ is prerooted.

resets after recovery and last adb shell command not working

right followed instructions to a t and getting reset so now tried the adb shell command as stated but the last command isnt working at all say rm failed for /system/recovery-from-boot.p, no such file or directory

so what do i do now tried everything so something must be up somewhere

**** will only work from adb not watch itself

adb reboot recovery command done it
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Filler1971:
I got the same problem as just2wikid. Everytime I start the recovery, the Gear is reset to stock.

Then I tried it with ADB as described and the same. Nothing will work.

On ADB I only get the message "rm failed for /system/recovery-from-boot.p. No such file or directory"

EDIT: I don't know why but now it works. Maybe the first downloaded null_ 15.zip was incorrupt.

OMG

I had the same issue : NO RECOVERY ! i was really crazy, i made 10 times...

When i bought my Gear, i had MII version, 2 days after, samsung asked me to update to stock MK7 rom, (i did)

I have the French version of this ROM

So i rooted the ROM with cydia

Add SuperUSer , and change permissions !

I flashed the recovery (v3) with Odin v3.09 (it was ok)

i add the Null v15 ROM on the SDCARD

reboot failed with the power buton, and still have the stock recovery...

I do it again, and try with ADB, and reboot again on the stock recovery...

I reomved the file ****.p from ADB, and it was ok

I tried again, and still the same issu at the end (with power button or ADB), NO RECOVERY TWRP...

So, i downloaded THE SAME ROM (french MK7 on the XDA website)

And ..... no RECOVERY with the power button

i tried the last time, with ADB reboot recovery...

AND IT'S OKAY NOW....

So i don't know why, but, my official ROM i uploaded on my Gear from WiFI is not the same i downloaded at here and flash with Odin.

But at the end... i'm happy to see your Rom on my Gear...

THANK YOU...

AND FOR ALL OF GUYS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE :

Download the ROM and flash the MK7 even you already have on your gear

(sorry for my poor english, i'm a french frog ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Point of the story is, dont try reboot into recovery after deleting the ***.p file.. because the whole purpose of this file is to reflash the stock recovery..

So if you delete the .p file you must reflash TWRP recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] calimegot:
i 've deleted it because i tried lot of things ^^ ! i respected point 2 point each lines, and i'd never won lol

Now i'm in your nice rom, and i've issue to create a google account... but it's very late for me... i'll looking at your other post tomorrow, because i'm sure it's okay, and i forgot something (i don't read yet the other post ;) )

I've a 2nd issue : the size of the buttons for the phone... no access to internet on the browser... etc... so i must read the other post

EDIT : i'm sleepppppppyyy ^^ , but i want to know ! and .... i know lol

TWRP instalation failure

Need a little help.

I have debugged and rooted supersu. When I download TWRP recovery and Null 15 rom via Wondershare the files show up as being loaded to sd card however when I boot to recovery the TWRP screen doesn't show up it just goes into redocking mode.

Any thoughts would be appreciated on a logical solution.

MK7 for US

Hello,

I read through most of this thread and I didn't see any real instructions on how to get the MK7 for US. I just wanted to give some details because it took me several hours to get through all this.

1. The link in this first post sends you to a list of stock firmware and the US is for Cellular South that is for MII. That is the wrong stock rom for US. It will make the TWRP recovery menu very small and scrunched on top.

2. You need the rom ending in MK7. Instead go here Samsung Firmware Archive and select the XAR version.

3. Then follow the NULL instructions

BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE.

FLASH V700XXUAMK7.

ALLOW GEAR TO COMPLETE INITIAL BOOTING.

REBOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE.

FLASH TWRP.

ALLOW GEAR TO COMPLETE BOOTING.

REBOOT INTO RECOVERY VIA ADB USING "ADB REBOOT RECOVERY" COMMAND.

A few shout outs:

To almulder1092 for helping me get there in his reply in the UK to US MK7 thread.

To Jonny Troche and is amazing how to flash recovery video.

Also, and of course, thanks NULL!!!!

You rock!

This is AWESOMENESS!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] scheirere:
Hey guys, the problem of getting TWRP to stick. I'm on the latest MK7 firmware and everything goes well until I reboot into recovery. Then it overwrites everything like I've got a stock gear. So I'm trying to do the commands from adb to remove the .p file and I'm not having any luck. I can't even open the shell in adb. Am I supposed to be in download mode or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kevinc:
I had the same issues. After reflashing stock via Odin, everything went well.

How to flash twrp with heimdall

How do I flash TWRP with heimdall for the Gear? What file do I use? Appreciate any help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aviguera:
My experience

BTW just as an FYI,

I had sooooo many problems getting the ball rolling on this and almost gave up. None of my PCs running Windows 8 recognized the Gear, and so Odin would not detect it. I even installed the drivers from Samsung that I saw on the video.

What did fix it finally was installing KIES 3 believe it or not. After I did, it went as far as telling me that my device was not supported, but then the Windows driver wizard ran in the background and installed the appropriate drivers.

From that point on I was able to see the device in Odin, update the firmware then push TWRP to the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] som_rout:
Putting custom recovery is not working please help

I have tried putting TWRK as you have mentioned. Odin push seemed successful to me but when I again restart it in recovery mode it shows some

installing software update

with Android logo. And after that TWRK recovery did not appear same Samsung bootloder booted the default stuff. I did not notice any change out there. Please guide me what would I do. Any concern point I am missing over here.

Thanks Freefalling0411. btw, I'm unable to install TWRP, flashed it twice but still it shows stock recovery first "no command error" and then only "reboot system now" in stock recovery, any idea what's wrong?

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------

I'm on MK7 - Rooted.

Along with the no command error in the stock recovery, upon keeping the power key pressed for 3 or 4 seconds on download / recovery, the phone doesn't boot into either modes. I've to use adb reboot download command for the download mode as well. It's kinda strange problem.

Edit: Flashed fresh MK7 and flashed TWRP. It's working now.

recovery loading wrong

im sure someone figured this out already but when you load the new twrm recovery and it loads goofy like in the photo, you can associate the position of the screen with options, select settings, then select time zone(left bottom/middle ish) and it unglitches the screen back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] reekotubbs:
Where do you see "options" and where do you select "settings"
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Srwilliams:
Alright Guys, I promise you I read all of the previous posts before posting.

This is my second go round with the Gear Watch. My first one I had the foreign MK7 firmware and was able to successfully install the TWRP recovery with no issue. I sold my previous one and ended up buying another one after trying a different watch. When I purchased this new Gear yesterday it OTA updated to the new USA MK7 firmware. And for the life of mt I cannot get the Recovery to stick after rooting.

Like everyone else my ODIN application shows that the recivery sy=uccessfully installed. I also successfully load the new Null 16 Rom. Only problem is when I try to download into recovery. No go.

My question is does the Recovery work with the USA MK7 application or only the foreign MK7.

Any suggestions to help me out here
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dislexiksmurf:
settings and buttons

If you touch the screen where it says galaxy gear, the digitizer area is calibrated properly but the lcd displays it squished. so about almost mid screen or a bit lower, on the right, you touch. from the squished window view, it should highlight the bottom right corner option and then itll load a new squished window. select the big bottom one on the left by touching about mid left of the screen. it took some practice but once you do that, the screen glitches back into order and all is well.

MAN I'M SO HAPPY:

As you guys have guessed from my previous posts I don't know what the h..." I'm doin---just not techie and this forum is way over my head. Well, I spent two solid days trying to get the TPRW Recovery loaded on my recent repurchase of the Gear. On my previous phone with the foreign

MK7 I had no problem, but for the life of me I coudn't load the Recovery on the USA MK7.

After two days I relunctantly went to apply the CODES (ADB shell commands, etc.) on the first page of this thread. I mean reluctantly because I know absolutely nothing about coding and $ su, etc. I just went ahead and typed whatevever was listed. AND I BE DARNED, the phone booted to recovery on the first try!

I'm so happy now I don't know what to do. Fomey really knows what he is doing and talking about. And take that from a newbie who just followed his instructions blindly!!

Thanks again FOmey

Hi,

I've made all indicated in the tuto installing a Null Rom but now my Gear is completly blocked !...

The only thing I can do is to going in TWRP recovery mode.

When I connect the USB cable, the pop-up MobileGo prompt for a LGE Nexus 4 connected.

With Odin, the comport is recognized but refuse to tranfert any file.

With adb devices, my device no more appears

Someone can help me please ?

I read the post and follow the instruction from instal a MK7 from SamMobile... I download the MK7 ZTO (I´m from Brasil) flash in Odin... reboot... and instal again the TWRP and WORKS FINE !! :victory:

Not need to make ADB comands... just instal MK7 from SamMobile and have the TWRP on my Gear

So, if someone have this problem... just flash an MK7 Stock ROM from SamMobile and after flash the TWRP :highfive:

O.K. so I've rooted and modded several of my other Android devices but this Galaxy Gear is making me want to throw it against the wall!!! I am running into one stumbling block after another modding this device. I wanted to initially install one of the Null roms but I could not get the device to accept the custom recovery after rooting it. The watch would just keep resetting itself causing me to have to re-install everything over and over again. Then, I was trying to install SU using Wondershare MobileGo but no app would install due to the error "Failed to analyze source link" and no one could help me to resolve that one. NOW, as I'm trying to simply install apps sideloaded via adb/terminal (on a MacBook Pro) I can't do it because the Gear keeps showing up as "offline"!!!! As I research this NEW problem, folks are saying to resolve it they had to update their SDK. WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!.....

My Gear is currently rooted, and I think I've finally found a solution to my FIRST problem (the re-setting issue), but will need to access the Gear via adb again in order to send commands (but the Gear still keeps showing up as "offline" in adb). THIS IS CRAZY!

Can anyone HELP!?

Guys,

I've done the custom recovery via oden. That worked. However, I cannot seem to get the gear to connect to the PC to copy the ROM

over.

I've tried just USB, like my S3 and nothing. I've tried wondershare too. Won't connect........
