[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ozzmanj1:
I received a refurbished Gear today that was on Tizen, I have been stuck on Odin saying SetupConnection... I have installed and reinstalled the drivers repeatedly, I have tried different cables, port, etc.... all the same. I have not tried another computer as I only have the one but have never had any issues in 3+ years of android flashing, flashtool for Xperia devices, etc. Anyways, here is the issue, despite it saying setupconnection, when I boot on the gear 1, it says, "firmware upgrade encountered an issue".... will Odin still work in this mode? I cannot get out of it and Kies does not even recognize the gear 1. I have spent hours on this and no luck... any ideas? Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbrownla:
Yes. Odin to stock Tizen for your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ozzmanj1:
Ummm.... I am not able to use Odin. My gear 1 is not in download mode. Only screen that appears is the , firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbrownla:
Hold down the power button until it shuts off. Then go into Odin mode by following those directions. Holding down the power button should always work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ozzmanj1:
I have already tried that, forgot to mention it. Soon as the screen goes dark, within 1-2 seconds the same screen pops up, or if not it pops up soon as I place the gear back into the dock to connect to PC.

Edit - As luck would have it, after multiples cables, restarts, power offs, usb ports.. the d@mned thing just started working... man is flashing Sammy products always this much of a ridiculous pita? I'll admit this response if fueled by irritation.....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbrownla:
It definitely can be. If your cable is bent the wrong way, or many different things can cause the problem. Samsung isn't the best at software implementation. But when it works, it works very well. Glad you got it working. There's ALWAYS a way, it just takes a lot of patience!

Pat yourself on the back!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ozzmanj1:
I spoke too soon the update failed...... I could punch a wall right now.... this is flat out ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbrownla:
Where did you get the .tar/.tar.gz file you are trying to flash? Does it verify during the process and come out okay? Have you tried re-downloading or downloading from somewhere else?

Are you trying to flash the package in THIS thread or something else? Because if you are trying to flash THIS package that's one of the steps. But I would try to re-flash stock before trying to flash this mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ozzmanj1:
Everything is from OP. I have downloaded different firmwares and different versions of Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbrownla:
You have to use 3.09.

Also, Step 8 says you are to "flash 2_recovery.img.tar" while your device is showing that error message you are seeing. What happens when you do that and did you make sure "Auto Reboot" is unchecked?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ozzmanj1:
I had to leave. Will try it when I get home in a bit. Thank you for the replies and info/tips.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbrownla:
I just downgraded mine from Tizen. Like a few posters down from the OP, I clicked "Auto Reboot" when flashing recovery. It got stuck in a bootloop and I just re-started by holding down the button until it says Galaxy Gear Rebooting, then immediately press the button 5-7 times, then press to select Recovery, then long-press on Recovery for about three seconds, and let it boot.

No issues and touchscreen works.

So nice to have SOUND.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ozzmanj1:
Figured out what the deal was, and I feel like a j@ck@ss... I found unplugging and replugging the Gear 1 after each fail, would cause it to work like a beaut everytime. I went back to stock Sammy android, and now have Null_23 running.. i like the idea of Null_23 but think it kind of defeats the purpose of the Gear 1 as a notification tool for the phone. Speaking of that as I am running a Nexus 5, I know the weather and I believe music/media controls are not working but is it possible to set up the Gear to give me full notifications like Gmail or Hangouts, SMS, etc? Perhaps I a not finding the right threads, I seem to find threads stating yes or possibly... any suggestions, that is if I go back to stock Sammy android on this watch. Thank you all in advance, again.

When downgraded from tizen to android and then go back to tizen, work the gear again with kies and ota's when available?

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] psycho-sonic:
Nobody can answer my question?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbrownla:
I'm not sure what you're asking. But I'm sure that as long as you use stock, you can still get OTA updates. If you flash Null or a ROM that is not stock from Samsung, then you won't likely get updates directly from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sweeney_uk:
Works a treat had to flash twice and now running null_23 ???

Rare poster, sorry!

Hi all. I don't post on here often but I thought I'd try to help. I tried about 10 times before I got it to work. I sometimes need step by step instructions down to the smallest detail to figure out some of this Android stuff lol. So I though I'd add some foot notes for people who need help. Below are OP's instructions with some edits (things i did) that may help. (I don't know how to post his pics sorry)

1. Download file(use chromium-browser)

(HAD TO REMOVE LINK, NEW POSTER)

2. UNZIP SM-V700_tizen_to_android.zip

3. RIGHT CLICK ON Odin, RUN AS ADMIN

4. flash 1_dn_android.tar

4A) After the file is flashed, it will do nothing. Remove Gear from cradle.

5. HOLD POWER BUTTON TO GET INTO

DOWNLOAD MODE

(This is where I was messing up, I kept trying to reboot into recovery)

The following message is displayed,

7. AGAIN AFTER IT FLASHES IT WILL DO NOTHING. WHEN FINISHED, REMOVE FROM CRADLE

8. HOLD POWER BUTTON TO REBOOT, SELECT RECOVERY THIS TIME. THEN IT SHOULD SHOW "UPDATING" THEN REBOOT ITSELF.

9. BOOM, DONE

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

This happened to me. I realized I was flashing the update and not stock Tizen. (if thats what its called)

Make sure you are using V700XXUCNE9 to upgrade from Android to Tizen. Then update with: V700OXACNF1.

Hope that helps.

got thru the whole process but my touch screen isnt working..... Help please. I can see the screen telling me to connect to my phone but cant press the check mark validate passcode.....The downgrade worked but the screen isnt
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dirtymindedx:
Thank you for this. I like tizen but there are a few apps still not functional on tizen and having a lil more control over pushing apps to the device is a big plus on android. So I will sit and wait for Moto 360 and keep my android galaxy gear 1 for now.

Hi,

Are there any other download links for this please? Reason I ask is because I'm being asked to download some other file/program before being allowed to download the file or allow the website to access one of my social feeds, which I'm going to do neither.

Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Megaflop666:
It just wants you to register to download, it's not going to access your info. It's safe.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] LEGGYMAMBO:
It states that it can post messages etc on my behalf, which I'm not obviously keen on, but appreciate your reply thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Megaflop666:
Its never done it to me yet... if it's any consolation. Even if it did, the download was worth it because tizen blows!

Odin Keeps Stopping at <ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!

- i have no clue why it is not initiating , can you help?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] GucciJedi:
help please

don't know what I'm doing wrong!!

Odin wont initiate the first part of this process!! keeps stopping at write start I'm guessing that this is the part were odin begins to write on gear and it will not continue!!

I cant seem to get chromium browser so i just downloaded the files with regular chrome, could that effect this process?

Hey, I know where you made ​​the mistake. I did it I .The first flash I let get to the end of the Green Pass. Down in the table Odin must be active after flash Pass button. It seems that it is not flash but it takes a while. Excuse my English

Do they even have android roms available for either of those? They were released with tizen.

If you are stuck at NAND start it means you forgot to put the PIT file in.

How do I root? Should I root then install twrp?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hank3rd:
I was hoping for a little help. It took me forever to get the touch screen to work and it finnally worked. I actually bricked the unit and had to flash a file named V700XXUCNE9_V700OXACNE9_HOME.tar.md5 and start over. I get it to boot and it comes up with the pairing screen and shows the cradle and a samsung device. I am able to initiate the pairing, but it fails. Any ideas? Maybe it was not rooted correctly? What would be next steps? I do not have a Samsung device or know anyone that has one at least until late next week.

I followed the instructions and used the files from the beginning of this post.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hank3rd:
I figured it out, I think that it was not rooted correctly and the stick rom was still intact. I was able to root it and install Null.

Now to figure out how to get weather working with the iPhone since I to not have gear manager.

hi thanks you lot for this !! after 3 months on tizen ,i know now it's boring and inintersting ,i 'm so happy to return to android and my favorite rom null thank you .

Any hope for Galaxy Gear 2/2Neo/S?

It would be really cool if somebody could install Null_Rom on Gear S. Because you can put a sim card inside that watch, and use it as your phone.

I tried back to Tizen,but without success-freeze on zImage(recovery)

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

yeaaaaaah!!!!!!!!

here is solution

eflash an original rom of android to the gear. Using odin and looking up the last version of Android for the gear. UK is btu I used BTU-V700XXUBNC1 (android). Then ignore the tizen link on here and download the one that in BTU-V700XXUCNE9 NOT THE ONE ENDING NF1 (tizen). I then put the gear into download mode. Hold power, wait till the flash screen and then click the button a few times. Press till download and hold on download for about 5 secs. Then load up odin. Select AP or PDA depending on your version of odin, find the file above ending with NE9. Make sure auto reboot and F.Reset Time is ticked. And press start. Wait till it flashes to the gear. Meanwhile uninstall gear manager on your phone. And all other gear programs. Reinstall them using samsung. When gear hopefully has loaded up, reconnect using your dock via nfc tag on dock and back of phone. It will probably do an update too. And then re link.

thank you [MENTION=221985]Matthew[/MENTION] Paul Hutchinson tizenexpert!!!!!

Im stuck in the same loop. I can choose from Continue, Download, Recovery and no matter what i choose the samsung logo is there flashing and... stuck on <ID:0/009> SetupConnection.. from Odin and trying to connect with Kies, but nothing.

is it over for the watch ? :crying:

ok its not over got it fixed... if you fall in the same trap after selecting Recovery, when rebooting push 10 times again and recovery again, something like that made it updating itself and started normaly.

or just try recovery.

touchscreen not working, but kies finds it now.

now happy owner of this smartwatch paired with HTC desire bravo
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jay.Krause:
Oden doesnt detect my Gear

I have been racking my brain on this for a while now. I just got my Galaxy Gear for Christmas. I upgraded to Tizen the same day. Thought I bricked it and my wife was going to kill me.. Frankly I cant figure why anyone would want to use Android. I literally counted all the apps available for mine... there was 27. Anyways, back on track. I want to downgrade so I can install TWRP and run Null. Someone stop me if there's a way to do it without downgrading. My problem is since the upgrade Odin no longer detects my Gear. I can't flash anything. When I try it gives me a message that says 0 failed, 0 completed. Currently I am running NF1, the latest version of Tizen as far as I know. If anyone has any ideas please help. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
A bit confused, you can't figure out why anyone would want to run android, yet you want to put null on, which is android...

Regardless, if you want to use android then follow the guide and use Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] erwinsie:
Use tizen you have a lot apps, and a lot battery life...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jay.Krause:
Odin doesn't detect my Gear

My thought is that Null would allow me to use the Google Play Store giving me access to more that 27 apps. Unless I'm doing something wrong, 27 apps just doesn't seem right. Half of them are fitness apps which I don't really use. That leaves about a dozen apps to browse through. I believe Samsung was boasting aver 1000. I don't see it. There were hundreds, maybe thousands of apps available once I upgraded to Tizen. That and the visual appeal of the launcher is a hundred times better in my opinion. All that said, as far as I know neither the original Android OS or Tizen allow the Google Play Store, nor can they tether an internet connection over Bluetooth. Also Novelauncher looks appealing. Hence my interest in Null. You say follow the guide and use Odin, but if you read my last post Odin doesn't detect my Gear. So I seem to be stuck. I am happy with the watch as is, but we are here because we all like to toy with our portable devices. I am an android fan but the lack of apps avalable and the one icon no background launcher turned me to Tizen. Still looking for an answer if anyone has any ideas. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
Try running Odin as admin if you are not, assuming it's not a driver issue seeing you were able to use it previously without issue. A different cable maybe? NF1 shouldn't have an impact on anything as that's the version you need to be on to flash skin's mod.

You are trying all this from download mode correct? Holding the power button to you see rebooting, then pressing it several times to get the boot menu? Also, USB debugging turned on?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jay.Krause:
I do like the longer battery life of Tizen. That may be what brings me back. I hope not. I guess I will find out.

It's always something stupid. I didn't have USB debugging turned on. I will try again when I get home. Thank you so much for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jay.Krause:
Odin doesn't detect my Gear

Well it's still a no go. I turned on my USB debugging and I still get the same issue. I have been running Odin in admin mode and my Gear is in download mode. I have tried different USB ports and cables. If I remember correctly Odin will detect the device that's plugged in. Mine isn't detecting anything. I don't remember if windows detected it before. If it did it doesn't now. Which would lead me to believe its a driver issue, but I have reinstalled them just in case. Still nothing. It looks like I might be giving up soon. I've been on this for weeks. I'm willing to give it one last good try if any one has any more ideas.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

OK so Kies doesn't detect my Gear either. This seems like a driver issue to me. The drivers I have are "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones". This is all I could find, plus my Gear was detected before so I figured they were right. I can't find anything else. If these are wrong does anyone have a link to the right ones?

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

Oh...My...God... So just for the heck of it I went and dug out a fourth cable from my drawer of electronic junk and it works. I can't believe that the first three cables I used were actually the problem. They charged it just fine so I figured they were good. The fourth one is newer, maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway... It works. Thanks for all the feed back.

Hi. Thanks for this guide, but it doesn't seem to work for me. Since the Tizen "upgrade" I have been unable to get Odin to recognise the device.
