Any possible way to get the rootf_s for the Neo? Or at least know the steps to get them? That way I can attempt to and try to get it working on that device.
[Samsung Gear 2] TML1504:
ask fibs if he knows something. the neo has a little different partition layout it seems,

therefore the changes which have to be done to root the gear2 must be reapplied onto a neo rootfs base!

another thought or guess:

looking at the "root procedure", it has something to do with the developer user which is used to obtain root.

maybe that's the change, as "sdb root on" is just the switch, which again maybe only works in developer builds...

therefore the change of "rootfs.img" partition...
[Samsung Gear 2] fibs:
Already sent fogame a pm if he wants to test. I have no Neo and I don't want to put something together and link it in here without at least one test.

I'm pretty sure it will work and the risk is low because if it does not work we can simply flash stock rootfs :)
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Awesome! I'll jump on this after work tonight.
[Samsung Gear 2] .Killabyte:
Any chance you could/would do this for the Gear 1 (BTU-V700XXUCNE9-20140530180801)? I just upgraded to Tizen and I'd like to get rid of my shutter sounds and install a calculator app :)

For those on root already that want to mute their shutters it's probably in a similiar directory:

mount -ro remount,rw /system

cd /system/media/audio/ui

mkdir old

mv Auto_focus.ogg .old/

mv Cam_Start.ogg .old/

mv Cam_Stop.ogg .old/

mv Shutter.ogg .old/

Thanks. I'm a dumbass. Reading my forums out of order...

Lol no worries.

Update: NE5 flashed just fine. So did Fibs rootf_s file. In the process of testing root

Edit: Okay for the life of me I can't get the tizen SDK to install....GRRRR
[Samsung Gear 2] Razor29:
are you on windows our osx ?
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Windows on my end. Having a beat of a time making sure that my SDB is installed
[Samsung Gear 2] NodenWIRE:
Any word on Gear 2 Neo rootfs.img? Specifically for the R381XXU0BNDD firmware? Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
In the process of working on NE5. If NE5 works then NDD should work as well. Will be shortly. Tizen SDK got uninstalled from my computer so I'm reinstalling it.
[Samsung Gear 2] NodenWIRE:
I'm glad there are people devoted to allow us to use the device to it's full potential. IF I have NDD installed, could I flash NE5 over it and change the country code / variant?
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Should be. I had ND8 and flashed NE5 over it. Worked just fine.

Update:

So as of right now the SDK is installing about 40 minutes out. Took forever to get there but its happening. Man I need a faster computer lol. Windows totally blows.
[Samsung Gear 2] NodenWIRE:
Great, that's good to know. It's worth the wait lol. I installed the SDK earlier in case it was necessary. Surprisingly, it installed fairly quick on my four year old i5 laptop.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Man I wish mine would install easily. I'm having such a hard time doing so. I keep getting a fatal error. Intelhaxm.package error and when I try to install everything from intel it fails. This is annoying lol. One more try to see what happens.

Edit: Okay I'm dumb tonight.....dang meds.....intelhaxm is for virtual machines and emulators duh. No wonder it kept failing.

Alright confirmed that I have root with Fibs method. Was a pain but it worked just fine.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Custom sound uploaded to watch.

Sound files need to be in .ogg to save space or else they will eat up a lot of room.

I uploaded something my son had me create for his phone lol.
[Samsung Gear 2] NodenWIRE:
It seems you got it all figured out lol. I'm looking forward to trying it as well, as there are not many choices for the stock sounds.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
All credit goes to Fibs. I was just his test monkey with the Neo

Lol yeah. Not to many choices. Be careful though. I pulled my entire settings files out of my watch. Now I just got to figure out how to remove the stock sounds to free up more space.
[Samsung Gear 2] NodenWIRE:
That is certainly an accomplishment! I don't mind testing it out as long as I could just Odin back to stock.

Lol you got carried away already. I'm sure everyone will be looking forward to this, as well as custom roms if and when it is possible.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Oh yeah. I removed all my stock tones for both ringtones and notifications. I'll see what it takes to start pushing apps to the device as well as removing stock ones...but for now I'm going to bed. Fibs and I will figure out how to make an easy write up for it lol
[Samsung Gear 2] fibs:
Great! Thanks for testing fogame! Added NEO rootfs link.
[Samsung Gear 2] AndroidState:
Can you root the gear fit?
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
In theory but I don't think any of us have a Fit to test with.
[Samsung Gear 2] AndroidState:
I can be a tester.

I tested Safestarp on the galaxy S4 active.

I can give any file and test anything since I can always recover by using odin.
[Samsung Gear 2] mattdb:
Just to be clear I have the ND8 on mine, if I patch using NE5, will I be able to get updates for ND8 or should I wait for ND8 root.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
No I don't think you would be able to. I believe that Kies should still update if it recognizes that you need the software update if you are on NE5. NE5 is the latest firmware. I flashed NE5 and all is good but you could reflash ND8 in odin if you want ND8 updates. Really root is the same except for the firmware that you are on. Flashing NE5 doesn't hurt your device.
[Samsung Gear 2] pRo_lama:
This will be great. I have also Gear Fit. Maybe I can help too. ;)
[Samsung Gear 2] Compusmurf:
Even for a tizen/watch noob like me, I was able to update my US region Gear 2 to NE5, then root, then dump the camera sounds.

Everyone here that contributed, you all rock. out to hand out thanks for this.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Right on! Glad it was simple
[Samsung Gear 2] Cyber-Droid:
Does the watch have to be in download mode in order to push ringtones or remove camera sounds? I was able to flash the root file using Odin without any issues but now I keep getting an error in the command prompt (see Pic attched). Watch works good. Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] pRo_lama:
Did you turn on USB debugging mode ?
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Odd yours is the wearable SDK. Mine is the standard SDK. Should work the same. Are the samsung drivers installed? You should just be able to go through once it boots up.
[Samsung Gear 2] Cyber-Droid:
Thanks for the reply! Yes Usb Debug is on.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
I did run into that last night. I just reflashed the rootf_s files, waited for it to reboot before I uninstalled and then unplugged it. Plugged it back in and tried the commands. At that point it worked for me.....Granted I'm running NE5.
[Samsung Gear 2] Cyber-Droid:
Thanks for the reply! The com said drivers installed successfully prior to me using Odin but i dont have Kies if thats what you mean. Im using NDD with the NDD rootf_s file.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Yeah you would need kies....one sec

Edit: Download the drivers from here here. Once that is done install without having watch connected. After drivers install try again. Once the watch is connected it should try to install the Tizen drivers. That should work.
[Samsung Gear 2] Cyber-Droid:
Ok, I will install and try again. I will post back with results. Thanks again!
[Samsung Gear 2] djbrotherson:

Gear 2 Neo root failed

Hi,

I have Gear 2 Neo version:

[Version]

Model=SM-R381;

Build=R381XXU0BNDD;

[Build]

Date=2014.04.28;

Time=23:06:51;

sh-3.2$ cat /etc/tizen-release

Tizen release 2.2.0 (Magnolia)

Tried to flash it by currently available file (I know, it is for older version). Loaded to Odin 3.09 as AP file, switched Gear to debug mode, but it finishes like that:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Have anyone succesfully rooted G2Neo?
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Yeah mine is rooted. It is running NE5. i would flash NE5 and root that way. I posted the methos over in the neo forums
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
Which region NE5 did you use for your US Gear 2, or does it matter? If you could post it, that would help too as I don't have a Sammobile account.
[Samsung Gear 2] Compusmurf:
Others stated it didn't matter. However I don't think Sammobile wants reposting, so open you a real quick acct there.
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
Thanks, done and done! Spain (PHE) was the only NE5 ROM I could find, so I guess that's what everyone is using, right?

EDIT: Never mind. Installed Spanish NE5 and rooted. No problems and everything works. It didn't even wipe my data. :)
[Samsung Gear 2] fafaffy:
Since root is achieved, is it possible for somebody to modify the camera app to allow recording unlimited length videos?

The 15 second recording is a major drawback.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Fibs is working on it. I have the Neo so no camera. It's more then likely hard-coded. He has been able to change the timer text but it still shuts off at 15 seconds

Oh, that's interesting. Thanks for letting me know, I'll be sure to keep a lookout on the progress! Just hoping it's not too complicated to change.

[Samsung Gear 2] Nepenthy:
First off, thank you so much for this root method. The stock ringtones/alerts were annoying as hell.

2nd, please dont bash me too hard as Im new to gear, but is there any way this method could be screwing with screen brightness? Ive had the gear 2 since launch and havent really had any issues other than lack of apps and horrible tones. After I rooted, its stuck on brightness level 1 and no matter how many times I change it back, it reverts back to 1 immediately. Even if I turn outdoor mode on, it comes up and tells me it will revert back to default value of 4. It then immediately dims to 1 and stays there. Ive rebooted and restarted several times, it starts up bright but then goes right back to brightness level 1. Am I doing something stupid or need to do anything after flashing and loading a couple ringtones? I was on R380XXU0BND8 and so thats what I flashed. No issues other than screen brightness.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
I would download NE5 from Sammobile and flash that. Should fix your issue. After that just reroot. I had the same issue until I flashed NE5.

Have you factory reset the device at all?
[Samsung Gear 2] fibs:
/usr/share/feedback/sound/touch/touch.ogg
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
On another forum, a user said that was caused by the flashlight app on his Neo. Not everyone has that problem, but you might try uninstalling that and see if it fixes it.
[Samsung Gear 2] Nepenthy:
There was a factory reset done automatically when I attempted to reconnect to gear manager,which ultimately forced me to uninstall and reinstall manager. I just did another factory reset and now the brightness works as its supposed to! Appreciate the reply! Enjoying this device much more now that I can tweak things.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Awesome! Seems like a factory reset will fix just about anything with these watches lol.
[Samsung Gear 2] fbueller:
Two questions -

Are notification sounds in /opt/share/settings/Notifications/ ?

How do you delete a file you've pushed to the Gear if you know the location?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Notifications sounds are in /opt/share/settings/Alerts

To delete a file you pushed....for example

sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /
sdb shell rm /opt/share/settings/Alerts/your_file.ogg
[B][COLOR="Red"]//below remounts it as read only//[/COLOR][/B]
sdb shell mount -o remount,ro /

Above code would delete the file you pushed to the Alerts folder. Just make sure that you mount it as read-write and use sdb shell rm (then your file location)
[Samsung Gear 2] fbueller:
Thanks, fogame! That's perfect.

I'm sitting here with baited breath waiting for shattering that 15 second video limit. I missed some great stuff because of that stupid limitation at my 2 year old's preschool the other day.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Lol no worries. Glad it worked for you :)

Oh it shall be broken lol. I know the guys over on the Gear1 forum are working on it. Right now Fibs can change the time that it shows for countdown but not the actual length yet.
[Samsung Gear 2] makinaking:
would you please provide flashing this file using odin tutorial?
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:
first tanks for this great job.

but i have problem. i rooted my gear 2 with NDD root file and have latest version of kies on my laptop and usb debugging is on in watch but when open cmd and type those commands in the first post each time sdb.exe wants permission to run and in the end noting happen and camera shutter sound is on :(

could you help me what i must to do?
[Samsung Gear 2] fibs:
What command did fail? Maybe you can post a screenshot so we can see what exactly failed.
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:
when i type "sdb root on" in cmd a window open for permission to run sdb.exe, i run it and cmd window for sdb.exe appear for few sec show some commands and disappear. this repeat for each line of commands i type in cmd and finally nothing changed in the watch, camera shutter sound is stable. :confused:
[Samsung Gear 2] fibs:
Is your device showing up in device list? execute "sdb devices" to check.

i type sdb devices. again just sub.exe cmd window open run and closed :confused::confused:
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
1: Download files needed from OP

2: Download Odin from Sammobile if you don't have it

3: Put watch in download mode (press and hold the button until it says rebooting, press button 4 times, move to select download mode)

4: Put file from OP in PDA/AP location

5: Plug in device

6: Click start and wait for reboot.

Hope that helps.

---------- Post added at 07:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

Interesting....Is the entire sdk installed? Also it could be a setting on windows. You may not have admin controls to install the sdb or your user access control (UAC) could be blocking it. I ran into something like this when I was trying to install the sdk. I had to disable UAC before I could install it. After it was installed and UAC was enabled again everything worked.

Edit: Wait....are you in the folder where the sdb was installed? I don't see that on your command prompt. Could be why it is asking for permissions to install.
[Samsung Gear 2] vasily_pupkin:
Two stupid questions.

First. If I have different firmware version (R380XXU0ANCE) can I flash one of the first post? Or maybe I can prepare image myself?

Second. If something goes wrong, will this brick (in unrecoverable way) the clock ?

Thanks
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
You would need to flash the corresponding firmware from Sammobile that works with the root methods. NE5 is the latest. Once that is done you can flash the rootf_s files in OP

The device is hard to brick. You can always flash the firmware and it will be okay.
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:
i have sdk file noted in the first post and i changed the properties of it to admin,how could i check my UAC ?
[Samsung Gear 2] ilostchild:
If you didn't put the sdk in windows environment then you can't use it that way you have to be in that specific folder example c://user/rooander/sdk_wearable/sdb tools/

Then type sdb devices
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:
i get sdb.exe file from first post and copy in my c://user/xmkz/ drive then run cmd. should i have anything more?

I really confused. I download the whole tizen sdk and run it on my computer but again when I type commands in cmd after each line only sdb.exe run and in the end nothing happened. I tried all steps on another computer but results same for me.

I really confused. please tell me what should I do???
[Samsung Gear 2] uchiharayka:

why still cannot input "sdb root on"?? am i wrong??
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:
no boby could guide me what should i do??:crying::crying::crying:
[Samsung Gear 2] Cyber-Droid:
You need to open up the command prompt in the same folder where you have the sdb.exe saved. For me it's in C:\Tizen/Tools.
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:
i do that. sdb.exe is in c: and i run and type commands in c: root.

when i type sdb i cant see my watch in liste of devices.
[Samsung Gear 2] Cyber-Droid:
Have you installed Samsung Kies? I was having this problem after I flashed the root file using Odin but when I installed Kies it installed drivers I was missing and it fixed the problem.
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:
yes i installed latest version of kies and full tizen sdk on my computer. i run cmd in pass the sdb.exe is copied and i run it as administrator but noting changed, i totally stucked in this problem... :confused::(:(:(
[Samsung Gear 2] Cyber-Droid:
Try these commands:

sdb shell (hit enter)

whoami (hit enter)

exit (hit enter)

sdb root on (hit enter)
[Samsung Gear 2] JimSmith94:
You have to be in the directory that sdb.exe is in. To do that, either shift-right click on that directory in Windows explorer and select "Open command window here", or open/run cmd and cd <directory> or cd <drive>:\<directory>.
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:
first i put sdb.exe in c:/user/my name then run cmd in same pass,when type eah line of commands just sdb.exe run and finally noting changed.

i put sdb.exe in c:/ root and run cmd run in c:/ but now when i type sdb shell or root on sayes target msg not found,and with sdb command no any devices listed in!

Don't put reboot watch at the end of the command.

sdb push Ibiza/opt/share/settings/Ringtones/**put your file here**

Unplugged the watch and reboot to find your new ringtone.
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:
tankyou brother with reinstalling drivers it solved.:good:

You should have said that you couldn't see your watch in Windows Explorer in the first place. It would have been a lot easier to troubleshoot. :(
[Samsung Gear 2] texeros:
this is wath come out.

push command has following args: (local) (remote) --with-utf8, and it requires at least 2 arguments

ok can you write me how?

i have the ring tone in the same folder of the sdb.exe

im so stupid im sorry i really dont know wath to do
[Samsung Gear 2] The First Haunter:
Sorry i've made a mistake.

This is the correct procedure:

Open a command prompt, go in the folder where is adb and put the following command.

sdb root on[ENTER]

sdb push **your ringtone.mp3 or .ogg** /opt/share/settings/Ringtones/[ENTER]

exit[ENTER]

Unplugged the watch and reboot it.

You should find your new ringtone
[Samsung Gear 2] texeros:
adb is the sdb? i try but nothing im disperate
[Samsung Gear 2] The First Haunter:
Yeah I mean sdb... sorry

Is the root procedure work?

Try to open command prompt with administrator right.

Is your device is in usb debuging?

And is the devide is detect by sdb?

[Samsung Gear 2] The First Haunter:
Ok, so I supposed that Ibisa is your ringtone.

Put the extension in the name of your ringtone.

ex.: sdb push Ibisa.mp3 or Ibisa.ogg /opt/share/settings/Ringtones/[ENTER]

Be sure that your ringtone is in mp3 or ogg i'm not sure of wich extension is suported.

And don't forget the space between your ringtone name and the rest of the command.

And if this not work with the extension remove it and retry with the space between the name of your ringtone and the rest of the command, because I think you didn't put the space in the screen shot you've post.
[Samsung Gear 2] texeros:
try, dont work. i keep trying everything. i try to move the folder to other places, but still not working. i install a widget to with the sdb.
[Samsung Gear 2] The First Haunter:
copy and paste that

sdb push Ibisa /opt/share/settings/Ringtones/

Be sur the ringtone is in the same foler of sdb

I'm pretty sure the problem come from the syntax
[Samsung Gear 2] texeros:
nope!!!!!! still not working
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Try turning on read-write permissions first then push the file.

sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /

sdb push your_file.ogg /opt/share/settings/Ringtone/

sdb shell mount -o remount,ro /

Remember to but a space between .ogg and /opt

Also don't forget to change back to read I my after.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

For ringtones and alerts they need to be .ogg form. I think every sound on the watch is ogg format. Mp3 would be too big.

Add .ogg after Ibiza and it should push.
[Samsung Gear 2] The First Haunter:
I've just done it with a mp3.

The size of my mp3 is 2,65 Mo

It work very well I'm sure the problem of texeros come from the form of the command.
[Samsung Gear 2] fogame:
Yeah. There is only 80 mb in the /opt folder so converting them to .ogg saves more space.

yhea!!!!!! thx to yall- i was put the .ogg in the file name. i try leave the name Ibiza and in the command i put .ogg. work.

for the notifications which is the folders?
