Folks,

I tried to follow this for unlocked AT&T Gear S and ended up bricking the device due to an error. Now the device is showing the message:

'Firmware Ugrade encountered an issue . Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again'

I tried to use Odin to flash the original firmware but it remains stuck at 'Leave CS..' Kies 3.0 also doesn't recognize the device, so I am unable to flash the device. Could anyone who faced similar situation help on next steps to do to recover the device?

Regards,

KS
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
assuming its an option... reboot and instead of download mode, choose recovery on the watch and it "should" factory reset.

all that aside, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[Samsung Gear S] guygenius:
Thanks! I was able to reflash the device using Odin itself. My problem is that AT&T Gear S is not allowing me to use T-Mobile wearble plan sim. It displays "Phone not allowed MM#6" message. I have unlocked the device myself and IMEI is not blacklisted. Normal phone sim cards (both T-Mobile and ATT) work fine. So I wanted to apply the workaround that someone suggested in the above post. Do you have tips on how to prevent the issue that I am facing?

I guess my problem can be resolved if I can flash T-Mobile rootfs.img and csc.img to the Gear S. Problem is when I convert these files to .tar and use Odin for flashing, Odin gets stuck. Odin has no problem in flashing .tar.md5 file but I don't know how to convert .tar to .tar.md5
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
the md5 part is easy, check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
[Samsung Gear S] mikeo97:
Sorry guygenius that you temporarily messed up your watch. Im glad you got it working again. I only flashed those two files in Odin. The .csc file in the CSC section and the rootfs file in the AP section. I converted them back to .tar files individually using 7zip in Windows. I got the info. from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/gear-s/general/install-sm-r750x-rom-sm-r750a-watch-t2982698

I was able to change the software from R750A to R750T, by the above method and remove the "phone not allowed MM#6 error", but the Gear still would not connect to the wearables plan with TMobile. I had to call TMobile about 15 times. Finally I was connected to Tech Support. Once there, they created a ticket for an Engineer to troubleshoot the issue. He called me the next day and instructed me to go to a local TMobile store and add a regular voice line to my plan for $30. He called me the next day by conference call with a new account rep and was able to convert the $30 voice line I added the night before to the wearables $15 plan. It was a pain in the ass.
[Samsung Gear S] guygenius:
Thanks mikeo97 for your inputs. After a lot of trial and error I was able to flash the CSC and rootfs and remove the phone not allowed MM#6 error. But like you, even I am not available to connect to T-Mobile. I may return the device from where I bought - Fry's Electronics - and get the device directly from T-Mobile and avoid all this hassle.

[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
OTA updates from Samsung will no longer work, thats the case with any rooted/flashed Samsung device ever since the whole knox and secure boot nonsense. I will keep this thread updated, when new firmware pops up it will be updated accordingly.

Regarding apps, I wouldn't expect Google maps to make landfall on Tizen anytime soon. Deleting stock apps is something I haven't even touched base on and it will most likely not be part of this thread, its something that will require its own thread as it gets confusing when several different subjects and instructions get rolled into one thread.

Honestly I haven't a clue about pictures in songs, I recommend you check over in the General section or Gear S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section as it may have been answered already.

I apologize for the delay, Im participating in several threads as well as preparing some new ones. Sometimes things get overlooked especially when several other posts get thrown in front of it and the thread scrolls.

Country: Russia

no simlock.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
Hi there and thank you for your great work.

I live in Greece and have a Gear S that was bought from Expansys, which is one of the biggest EU online stores for mobiles and stuff like that.

I talked to Samsung hotline and they told me that my device (judging by the IMEI and model) was supposed to be sold in Switzerland.

The model is: SM-R750 and the Software Version is R750XXU1BNJ7 and there is no SIM lock (my Greek SIM plays OK). Also no branding of any kind.

Problem is I do not know if the FW is carrier specific and of course I do not know the carrier.

Am I safe to proceed with rooting? Which file should I use? Is there a risk of bricking or SIM locking?

Thank you very much in advance.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
I would proceed with the switzerland firmware ( already posted on page 1 ) , there is no carrier lock on it. I dont see any risk of bricking. just follow the instructions carefully and you should be fine.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
Thank you sir for your prompt reply.

What is the way to unroot, by the way?

Flash via Odin the original FW?

Thank you
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
from the watch go to Settings and then Reset Gear. Everything will go back to factory specs and the created folders will be erased.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
Will that unroot the watch? A factory reset from the menu overwrites the flash memory?

Did not know that.

Thank you sir.

[Samsung Gear S] by_tony:
When you select rekoveri takes full reset. After loading the clock again says that the SIM card is not available. When you press and hold the menu does not turn off and not overloaded, when you select any item just throws on the home screen.

The clock at the firmware also writes "aboot. Fail" strip loading stops at the beginning and everything is on, nothing happens. Clamp button and watch overloaded in normal mode.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
[MENTION=266550]by_tony[/MENTION] Hope you fix your watch soon. [MENTION=2242705]cipherswitch[/MENTION] Can you please explain what the problem with by_tony's Gear S is? Is there smth new that we should try to avoid?

Thank you sir.

PS. Just asking now because i am about to start with the rooting procedure on my watch and you know by_tony made me kind of worry.

:)
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
I wouldn't worry. Of all the software I uploaded, there have been over 600 downloads, and maybe 4-5 issues. Since Samsung gave us so many different versions of the watch and on top of all those versions a country variant, every once in a while you get a watch that doesn't want to take software because its not from the country you think it is or just the wrong model. As far as Tony's, I would venture a guess and say his watch is either not the russian variant or a driver issue.

Which firmware would you be flashing?
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
I am about to flash the Switzerland variant. Samsung has confirmed that my watch (base on IMEI and model number) is supposed to be sold in Switzerland.
[Samsung Gear S] by_tony:
gidi;

Nothing complicated, important to follow the instructions and install the correct driver.

I have after installing the firmware clock stopped to see the sim card and the menu did not work properly shut down and restart. I had to sew the native firmware. All recovered.

The second option full flash stopped with an error at the beginning. Simply restart the clock.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
Èxcuse me sir,

I am not sure i understod what you are saying.

Did you reflash the official FW (which country was that) and solved your problems?

[Samsung Gear S] by_tony:
Works! Thank U!
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
Just did the root process successfully. Flashed the roots image for Switzerland and the watch is fully functional and SIM card works as before.

Thank you very much!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
good to hear.

I'll be shifting gears for now into other areas of Tizen, root is just the beginning and since I don't really see the point in porting Android to the Gear S, Tizen development is where its at.

I'll be making a few write ups, specifically on deleting stock ringstones+alerts, using mp3 instead of ogg, changing default alarm tones, modding the stock watch faces, deleting stock apps (S-Health is no 1 on the chopping block), boot animation (dont really see the point, but why not), and some other random stuff. So if I dont answer a request super quick... PLEASE BE PATIENT!
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
My man, nice to hear that you intend to keep working on the Gear S customization.

I think the next step could be a custom ROM, ala TizenMod, huh?

Thank you very much for your efforts and time.

You help us make the Gear S even better.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Something like that, Im actually in the middle of dumping the 1gb+ of data right from the watch right now ( not just the image, the files directly from the watch with file structures intact) . The scripts on this thread will be updated later on with the option to delete the stock stuff if you don't want it, hell my watch is waaay different from the stock version but I spend alot of time working on it. The whole point is duplicating it for the masses.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
[MENTION=2242705]cipherswitch[/MENTION] my man, keep up the good work.

I have had the Gear 1 (stock Android, Null ROM, stock Tizen, TizenMOD) and i am quite used to flashing and stuff.

I was overly worried with the Gear S because of the possibility of locking the SIM card.

Everything went fine, though.

Again, thank you sir.
[Samsung Gear S] youngblood68:
Great job , well done dev , but for now I dont really see the meaning in rooting the Gear S ?? can you explain to me why I should? if it was to get android app on it great , would not mind to have whatsapp and facebook among others ....anyways I will be following this tread , keep up the good job
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
I presume these new efforts will require the user to have a rooted watch?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Yes:eek:

I am toying with a way to force root/file permissions into the watch without flashing anything specifically because of the members with Verizon / Sprint devices. I didnt forget about you guys.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
I appreciate that as I believe no root for my Verizon watch anytime soon.

[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Haven't got to read up on the updates; is the update going to be worth messing with since we'll have to update, root again, redo our tones, etc?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
According to another member who did the update:

I have to do it anyway since more and more people will already have the update and want to root. You aren't really rooting again, the flash will already have the root permissions like before. You are just making the folders and dumping your stuff in there again.

If you already rooted it should just be a matter of copying all the folders currently on the watch (alerts, ringtones,etc) , flash update, run scripts, paste your stuff, run update script. 5 maybe 10 minutes of work, if that.

I was considering making a slightly slimmer file without all the original factory tones and stuff (like my personal watch is setup) so that you would only see your tones and not have to scroll, but I don't know if there would be a demand for something like that, I just dislike all the factory tones and wanted to only see mine. Oh and I did manage to kill s-health on my watch, now that was a glorious moment....
[Samsung Gear S] glberg17:
I'd love to see s-health go bye bye, too.

Thanks for your hard work.

I hoped the new update would show my phone number in the gear info tab.

No luck there but I noticed it reported my storage accurately in that tab, nice to know.
[Samsung Gear S] crazyshakespeare13:
A slimmer version would be great ... If there is any way you can walk us through the update/flashing process like you did with that root I think that could help a lot of users. Thanks again for everything you have been doing.

Side note: what's the easiest way to remove an app from a standalone gear s?
[Samsung Gear S] androidrouen:
Hi can you explain me how to kill app ? you used command uninstall ? but it need to know the ''appid'' ... help ?

^^
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Is the update going to be pushed to the devices? I didn't even see a spot in settings to check for update. Maybe I'm blind today. Lol
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Updating:Its the same process as rooting, just with the new file, if you already have root then its from step 5 of the writeup (after downloading the new file)

Removing App's: After root, it has to be done from the SDB shell or Tizen explorer. I see a small write up necessary, but under a new thread to make it easier to find. I'm on it.

I will get you some app-id's and I'm doing a writeup as well. Only prerequisite is root.

Your issue is very likely sim card related, check with your provider as the replacements are usually free and it sounds like a provisioning issue.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
OK, my bad, I thought it was an update from Samsung that we'd have to update, root, etc etc. I misunderstood your message, your updated file will already contain the update in it.

... My watch has never shown the phone number in info either.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Gear Manager already took the update (version 2.2.15011799) as they need to conform to the new lollipop design scheme. Once Gear Manager see's your watch is rooted, it doesn't update the watch or even tell you anything .If you check manually it will say the watch has been modified and no updates are available. So OTA updates aren't done anymore, once you root it has to be pushed manually. It will probably be different in the future but for now its necessary to flash manually.
[Samsung Gear S] androidrouen:
O_0 Tizen explorer (=root explorer) ? (i made a rootexplorer tpk, but how to convert it in wgt i don't know lol)

you knows the appid ? i love you man ^^ Thanks for your work :)
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Cool. I knew Samsung played the "your device has been modified" game. When I saw your post earlier, I figured I would have to revert to stock, update, root, etc.

Have the files in the OP been updated yet for tmo or is it still coming later?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Im actually converting the ones I already did to md5's and uploading, so maybe an hour for all of them. I'm gonna flash one before uploading just to be sure its all good.

Um...no. I meant Tizen Explorer as in the Tizen SDK.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Just confirmed, root and file structure stays intact, download -then flash and all your custom tones and stuff should still be there.

FYI - The new update adds some color themes, watch faces and the overall responsiveness seems improved. See below for what I found.
[Samsung Gear S] crazyshakespeare13:
Will the flash still remove stock ringtones etc?
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Woot! I'll be doing this in a few hours. Now I just need to get rid of shealth before I throw my watch through a wall for constantly telling me my steps.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
No, but thats easy enough. If you already have root, and followed my instructions, I can provide a pretty easy script to delete all the stock tones.
[Samsung Gear S] crazyshakespeare13:
I did, and if you would be so kind!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Here ya go, this script will delete all the stock Tizen/Samsung ringtones so you dont have to scroll to find the ones you loaded in. Please run this AFTER flashing (otherwise you will just have to run it again).

Download the ringtone delete script from here.

YOUR WATCH MUST BE ROOTED FOR IT TO WORK.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
For those with a Verizon Gear is it worth taking an update seeing as we are not rooted?
[Samsung Gear S] crazyshakespeare13:
Thank you!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Here ya go, quick and dirty uninstall. It leaves s-health as an option in your menu but kills everything else. Deleting it from the menu involves changing the manifest which is going to take me a minute.

S-Health killer, download here : S-Health Killer

Disclaimer: I called it the "dirty" S-Health killer because thats exactly what it is, I haven't edited the manifest so that it removes completely from the menu. Thats why it shows as an option on the menu but no icon. There is a minimal chance that the watch might misbehave, so far I haven't run into any issues. I dont post anything that I havent used myself and my watch lives on my wrist, so if theres a risk of breaking the watch, it doesnt get posted.

next target for attack.... qualcomm bootloader and that pesky secure boot.
