I'm almost 100% certain that AP replaced PDA in the latest Odin.

Maybe a bad download - Just guessing.

I asked in the other thread - Do we have a way to check the MD5 :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kminatta:
i downloaded it from two different sites, so i don't think it is a bad download.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Freeddi:
Downgrade to android os its not possible. I have the Update make by my father gear 1 and there stand that it is not possible. I have a gear 2 and tizen os is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
I don't know. I downloaded it but haven't been able to make my decision yet if to leave Android & Null Rom for Tizen.

Is this the file name you have?> BTU-V700XXUCNE9-20140530180801.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kminatta:
yes. i also have V700XXUCNE9_V700OXACNE9_BTU.zip that i downloaded from www.sammobile.com. neither work for me once they are unzipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] House M.D.:
Ap the correct choice

Instructions

Extract (unzip) the firmware file

Download Odin v3.09

Extract Odin zip-file

Open Odin v3.09

Reboot gear in Download Mode

1. Plug in the Gear

2.From being powered on, (Bootable or not) press and hold the button of the right until the Gear shows "Samsung Galaxy Gear Rebooting" and rapidly press the button until you get to the "Select REBOOT MODE" screen.

3. Highlight "Download" in the list by pressing the button to scroll.

4. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds (and let go! The screen won't change immediately) and let it boot into download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Freeddi:
You must bring the Gear in Download Mode and flash the Firmware to Gear
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Grimcreaper:
Agreed, which version is the US one? the SIO lists N/a but i doubt thats the right one for some reason.

According to Kies 3 im currrently using XAR?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kminatta:
thank you so much. i went to Youtube and looked up how to remove Root which included those steps. it is upgrading now!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Oops, I didn't think of that. What were the steps to remove root OR a link to the video?

Hi mrfett79

Just updated to Tizen great! but watch styler a no go until someone shows us how, I downloaded watchstyler 1.2.01 from gear faces but it doesn't show up the gear clocks section even if you allow unknown sources in settings, you just get an error message from gear manger at end of install "failed to install the app"????

Edit: after looking around it seems we have to wait for multi-watch to appear in gear manger, samsung apps store before we can use analogue watch styler faces, bummer...:(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Nevermind, I think I found the solution. Basically we have to download and flash first the Android version NC1 (BTU) for USA file through Odin then proceed with the Tizen upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] benny73:
Hi guys, one question: but after installation this software update the bluetooth work with bluetooth speaker???
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mrfett79:
Thanks Gadjet for the info. Guess I will wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Grimcreaper:
How do you use Kies 3 to manually update? Ive been poking around a little bit but cant figure it out. Or am i barking up the wrong tree entirely? Ive never used Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
If your Gear is stock and your CSC (region) has the update available, Kies will offer the update when you plug your Gear in. If your Gear isn't stock, for example rooted or running a different region's s/w from the shipped CSC, you can install any region's s/w via Odin. Odin's pretty harmless. Some simple steps:

Download Odin, any version will do.

Download the Tizen update from Samfirmware or Samsung-updates. I'm in the U.S. and used BTU (UK).

Extract the file you downloaded

Put your Gear in download mode by holding the power button for seven seconds and once the display says "rebooting" mash on it repeatedly until a selection menu appears.

One of the selections is "download." Mash on the button a few times with download highlighted and your Gear should enter download mode.

Open Odin and put the file you extracted in either AP or PDA depending on which Odin version you're using.

Plug your Gear in to your PC via USB and it should be recognized by Odin.

Click "start" and you'll see a bunch of files being transferred in the lower left pane of Odin. When finished it should say "success."

Unplug your Gear from your PC and re-sync it to your phone with Gear Manager.

When your region receives the update, repeat the steps above using your region's ROM. That way you'll be "official" if you need warranty repair. Since the Gear came out I haven't heard any reports of differences in h/w or s/w by region so I think they are all the same. A Gear's a Gear and a ROM's a ROM no matter what CSC or region is assigned. That's very different from Samsung's phones and tablets where there can be big s/w differences between regions.

P.S. - Heimdall's the "Odin" for Macs. I know nothing about it and can't help the Mac-inclined.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Grimcreaper:
Thank you much, i really appreciate the info :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] benny73:
who installed this update can answer my question?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] waxlabo:
After updating to Tizen you will be able to pair the Gear to a bluetooth speaker or bluetooth headphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SeauxCrazy:
I've downloaded Kies, but it's saying my firmware is already up to date. I'm assuming it's because it hasn't been released to our region yet?

I'm on a Mac also, does Odin have a mac variant so I could update my watch manually with the UK version?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
So tempted since I don't use watch styler anymore as it drains my battery but I don't want to lose 60 seconds recording and the silent camera with null rom. It doesn't seem like there's much benefit besides greater battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Yohng:
Hi,

Just upgrade to Tizen with BTU (GB) firmware.

First remark, I'm pretty sure, there is no consequence with CSC version, mine is still THO (Thailand).

The market is very very poor. A lot of people report it; this is really true ! (I miss Watch Styler and Evernote)

However, the soft is much better, We can now plug to PC as USB and manage files in internal SD (2Go).

The most powerfull is the music player with pairing to BT headphone/speaker.

I don't know if you notice that Gear Manager became slower and slower with Gear under Android.

Gear Manager for Tizen is really faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rob419:
Does anyone who actually upgraded Gear1 to Tizen have any HARD specs/numbers for battery life? And I mean, motion wake up on, random notifications.. Etc.. And also on that,, are there viable options to txt from watch, receive noti's and whatnot?

What are the Actual benefits to upgrading? (if an upgrade it really is....)

.werd.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] willcor:
i don't think battery life is such a big dealbreaker.

hi , from what i have been reading in the Gear 2 forums ( over period of time )

My opinion...is there is not such big diffs in battery ( ..that said ...if you mantain/manage your Gear 1 correctly ! )

My average ( moderate power user ,wake up gesture off ) is about +- 20% a day .

I can get 3 plus days ,no problem !

Most of the replies /comments i read, commented on 3...4 days battery use with Gear 2

Further

to me the most " interesting point" between Gear 1 and Gear 2 is that

a lot of Gear 2 user's wants to "flash " Android onto Tizen...!

and Gear 1 forums( past week or so comments ) a lot of users wanted... to flash Tizen ?

Also my Gear 1 can do most of what Gear 2 can do ..extra's like..

I can also play music ,watch video's ( i use Quickpic app to do this )

My opinion is to just to relax and " monitor" where Tizen is going ?

( so far nowhere,no apps, no big diffs overall .I think we are the best placed at moment !!!)

Good luck to all
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] orphan203:
It worked for me. I love the new software. I can actually connect my BT headset to the watch and load music on the watch and listen to it conserving my phone battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Anyone tried TWRP yet?

Is anyone trying to downgrade and had any luck?

I'm not impressed with Tizen at all.

I did use the sleep app while I was asleep and it took 50% battery in 4 hours so its kinda stupid and useless as when you wake up you need to charge it which is what you usually do while your sleeping.

And as for battery life it doesn't look like much has changed. I've been playing around with the watch for the last 30 mins and lost 10% battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jrocks213:
I updated my watch and so far I'm ok with the update. Only reason I did is because I was never able to root it. I'll check how my battery life is tomorrow when I fully use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] IV97:

tried to update with kies on mac and windows 7 but my watch does not connect to kies for some reason. USB Debugging is on already on my watch but it does not connect. anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Muffycheeks:
You're entitled to your beliefs and opinions but the bottom line is Galaxy Gear's failure in the market place was not because of the Android OS. Nor will the New Gear be successful just because it has a Tizen OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Grimcreaper:
Seem to be having a minor snag with the update.

If i restart the watch, it will not reconnect with the phone until i restart the phone. Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: How is it that the Gear STILL doesnt have a calculator?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
Umh, beliefs and opinions?

You

said without anything other than your opinion...

Provided Tizen survives. Android has a larger following with developers and Samsung is not the only player in town. Samsung has lots of money and they'll have to spend a lot to over take Android.​

Are we even talking about the same thing? If you're talking mobile OS in general I think Tizen has a snowball's chance in hell of displacing Android; even with Samsung's gazillions of dollars. If we're talking wearables I don't think it matters what the OS is and Samsung's gazillions of dollars and Tizen have as much chance for success as anything else including Google and AndroidWear. For people that aren't on Google's crack pipe and use non-Google apps for e-mail, MMS. calendar, music, video, etc., AndroidWear's useless. I'm one of those people and can't even use Google Now as it's currently implemented because of it. Over time Google's gotten creepier and creepier about data harvesting for predictive marketing and I avoid them because of it. I guess we'll see when AndroidWear devices are released how the masses (not XDA'rs) feel about a device so biased toward Google services at a time when Google's making global news (in a bad way) about their data collection, use, and retention behavior.

P.S. - Samsung (currently) owning 71% of the wearables market isn't a "belief" it's a fact as reported in the URL I previously posted.

Gear stuck at downloading tizen

Hi,

I've tried this morning to download tizen but after half hour nothing happened and I was forced to disconnect the gear from pc. As a result gear is stuck at downloading...do not turn off target screen and kies does not recognize the device. Kindly ask if somebody could help me with this matter.

Gear not rooted, stock software.

Many thanks in advance,

Installation Instructions

I had a similar problem yesterday, I'm guessing you're stuck in download mode. To exit download mode, hold the power button on the gear until it reboots, then try the whole process again, I was wary of flashing with odin but for me it worked perfectly. If this doesn't work, let me know what happens :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Grimcreaper:
Ive got access to maybe 15 apps and 12 of those are watch styles. Not a single calculator on the samsung app store through the gear manager
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gingerdude:
I'd owned a neo and sold it and gone back to gg1 but still can't help but feel underwhelmed by the tizen up date. I've read 14 apps not counting clocks? I for one won't be going tizen and for all those that did I think Samsung owes you an apology.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Virgilu:
Thank for your prompt reply. I've tried to hold the button until reboot but it came to the same screen. Again...and again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I"ll be watching this thread like a hawk but if anyone finds a way to downgrade back to Android I would really like to hear how.

Tizen makes the GG1 feel like its in beta now. Its jumpy, a few glitches and its missing a lot of its old features. Feels crap now and its also missing app the apps I used.

It feels worse than Null did and that was really glitchy for me.

I just want the old Android back.

What will be the return policy for Samsung? Will they swap the watch for one with Android if I took it to them?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SenseiEmu:
How to exit download mode

If you still want to install tizen, it will be very easy now. Hold the button until it gets to the download screen with the android logo, then plug it into your computer and open odin. click PDA (yours might say AP) and click the MD5 file that you downloaded earlier, uncheck the box that says "F-reset Time" and make sure the box that says "Auto-Reboot" is checked. click start and leave it to do its thing, mine took about 10 minutes to complete. there should be a loading bar at the bottom of the screen on the watch, just make sure it doesn't stop for more than a few minutes. When it is done, Odin will show a big green box that says PASS and your watch will reboot twice. Don't worry, the first few boots will take a bit longer than usual. Enjoy your update! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Virgilu:
I've never used Odin before; I try not get to complicated with this things but I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SenseiEmu:
No problem dude, let me know how it goes :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Virgilu:
So, I have odin, I have auto reboot checked, I have f.reset unchecked...but I dont have the MD5 file...which I did not download, or I dont know I downloaded. Where can I find this file? Thanks coryour patience...

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I'm thinking if I cant downgrade back to Android I will sell this one and buy another with Android and not upgrade to Tizen as it really sucks. I like the freedom Android gives you and the ability to install any apps and do what you want with it. this Tizen is really crap if you ask me. There is nothing with the Tizen version that I want and everything with the Android verison that I do want.

I even have a black background so it even looks like the Android version. I like it, I'm really annoyed other websites lied about what Tizen had as thats why I upgraded as they said it had all the apps i wanted and its got none of them.

I'm still hoping for a way to downgrade, I really hope someone is working on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SenseiEmu:
No problem, man. Enjoy it!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] T-Anthony78:
I had the same issue. If you go into your Bluetooth settings on your phone (long press your Bluetooth icon) it may still say it is paired to a Galaxy Gear. Blow out that connection and rescan for any new devices. It should then locate your "Gear" (not Galaxy Gear). Connect to that and you should be OK. I had same issue this morning. Been fine ever since.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bschrib:
So I think Heimdall even for Windows will let you make a .PIT file. If someone has a gear running Null (I'm all stock) could they try and generate a pit file using Heimdall in Windows? Would love to have a way out if Tizen doesn't live up, or if Wear becomes an option.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Where do I start.... You cant swipe up for dialpad, or down for camera. ALL the apps I use aren't available, If you use a background its too bright so you cant read the time. (No matter the brightness) so backgrounds are useless unless its really dark. Just feels crap to me. Its not as smooth as Android. ROOT!. Android apps. Backup and restore easily, easily flash different firmwares, is that enough reasons for you?

I have a TWRP backup of my Android setup so I'm guessing I just restore that to the new GG and its like nothing happened.

I've already lined up a replacement. Just have to wait for a reply to sell this one so I might have another brand new GG1 unopened so I know its on Android.

Maybe in 6 months when Tizen is rooted and all the apps are available then I might upgrade.

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

I too would love to know if thats a way out of Tizen as I'm about to sell this watch and buy another just to get it off Tizen.

I'm convinced that the Samsung app store is not yet configured to load apps on Tizen Gear 1.

Watch your phone for a minute or so when you load an app, it says Failed to Install on Gear

I agree. These apps from when I was on Android show up in "purchased" because they have a Tizen equivalent. None of them show as available in Samsung Apps. So some thing isn't right.

I seem to be having trouble updating through Odin. I downloaded the UK tar.md5 from sammobile.

Any and all help would be much appreciated.

OK, so I haven't used it yet, but I'm going to go ahead and post it here just in case anyone wants to try to experiment with downgrading from Tizen; here's my PIT file generated from V700XXUBNA6_XAR_GB. I'm also attaching the output of the analysis so you can get a better idea of what it's doing. I'm going to postulate that you would need to use Heimdall to actually use this PIT file. It's identical to the one that WarlockLord posted earlier, so I don't think anything changed.

Going to upgrade to Tizen now, and then based on that will see about using this PIT.

*Once again you'll need to remove the .txt extension from the file to use it.

Honestly I'm not sure if I'll revert from Tizen. The whole watch is a lot more snappy with the lightened OS and the music player is a nice touch. They also add some custom animations that mimic (but exceed in flair) the standard Android stuff (e.g. glow at end of drag). So far I'm pleasantly surprised!
