Hey [MENTION=2242705]cipherswitch[/MENTION] can you give us a progress update sometime soon please.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
already rooted all 36, Im in the process of renaming and zipping them right now. So by tomorrow hopefully?
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
does that include one for New Zealand? I suppose I could just wait until you post the update but I am very keen to know :laugh:

and thanks again for all your hard work!!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
New Zealand doesn't have a specific firmware, going by just the providers (Vodafone & 2Degrees), the "South East Europe" firmware should work just fine for you.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
South East Asia or South East Europe :confused: - I use Vodafone but my watch isn't carrier specific

I mean NZ is hardly south east europe
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
South east europe, its covered by vodafone, and is guaranteed to have English in it. Im gonna have one specifically called "south east europe".
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
ok cheers
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
yeah, should be sometime tomorrow for sure....
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:

[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
hey is it possible for me to return to previous root image if south east Europe is not correct?

how do i obtain my previous root image

thanks so much for doing all this!!:good:
[Samsung Gear S] tedkord:
Sigh. I hate Verizon so much.
[Samsung Gear S] darksimo:
Yesssssssssssssss!! thank you Ciperwitch!! thank youuuuuuu! at last!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
If it doesn't take, it won't overwrite your previous version. If it takes, everything should work fine. The watch won't let you flash the wrong version of the software, you would get an error message.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
yeah, it prefers ogg for everything. I usually just find stuff on zedge (ringtones and such) and theres quite a few free mp3 to ogg converters available.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Sweet, I'm going to grab the oggs out of my doctor who theme from my original gg1. I'll work on the Darth Vader theme idea later. In your toying with this, can we change the Samsung splash screen?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
theres a folder in there with each part of the splash screen broken up in different images, I will tear into it tonight.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
damndest thing, I can't paste to the folders created now. Any thoughts?

edit: Nevermind, unplugged my watch and plugged it back in and now it works.. idk what that was.

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Working on it myself. :)

Anyone have SDB bridge for Linux? I found what was supposedly sdb over at the repository but it's something else.

I'm sick of switching to windows every time I want to do something.
[Samsung Gear S] porkandbeans:
Script to remove previous sound mods

Hello, I ran the scripts, but keep getting errors because I removed the previous ringtone from the folder. How do I run the script to add ringtone, without it looking for previous ring installs? Also, the alarm is not being pushed to the watch. Can you please assist? Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Sounds like you got something boogered up in there. Since this is still a very young root and there's not a whole lot except experimenting; how about doing a factory reset in recovery, root it again and follow the directions to the letter. Works perfectly. [emoji106]
[Samsung Gear S] Raiderman:
Followed your steps, and rooted easily. My question is. Is there a way to pull system apps from the watch and push them back after modifying?

Edit. Never mind. Using Sdb which is similar to adb

Is there a way to know what system app location and names are?
[Samsung Gear S] ooms:
The system apps can't really be edited, unless you know how to decomplie them. They aren't opensource they are licensed under flora. They are c++ native apps(you can even install your own tpk apps if you find/make them).

Im on my phone right now, but you can do some editing of colors and images, which isnt too hard. You have to find the .edj files, use edje_decc to decompile them, you will end up with a edc file and a build.sh file to recompile.

Pretty much what i've found is we will not see custom watch faces on the lockscreen, till Samsung allows us. I have figured out some ways to customize the default digital time lock screen.

If you change any of the api permissions in the xml files make sure to update smack as it will reject it.
[Samsung Gear S] Raiderman:
Ive been able to pull packages using Sdb. For instance I pulled, /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-contacts2, which has some images that are decompiled, like home screen icons. So I havent actually decompiled anything. Sdb pulls all of the folders and signatures. If I wanted to edit a couple of images then push it back to my watch, how would that be done?

For those that do not know what the directory structure looks like, as I asked in my previous post, download DiskInternals Linux viewer

http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ Open the program and browse to rootfs.img file of Cipherswitch and mount the image. It allows you to view the files on the image.
[Samsung Gear S] ooms:
The structure of system apps are split into multiple folders. I haven't looked into the contacts but almost sure there is a bin, res and trusted folder. Then in another location there will be another folder with an xml in it. I'll update this when I get home and can check.
[Samsung Gear S] Raiderman:
Thanks ooms. FYI I moved my discussion to the Q&A thread. I will reply there
[Samsung Gear S] greatg:
General Question - The Canadian version of the Gear S is not carrier specific. Would it matter if I rooted and used AT&T or Verizon?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
theres probably a specific version for that model, can you look in the menu, settings-> gear info-> about gear, and see what model number it is?
[Samsung Gear S] greatg:
It's SM-R750W
[Samsung Gear S] ctyrell:
Canadian Version SM-R750W

I am in the same boat the OP is in.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
looks like that firmware version is available. I'll download it, and have it posted up here by noon tomorrow, maybe even tonight if i don't run out of Ironbeer

Look for it in the first post of this thread, everything else should apply just the same.
[Samsung Gear S] ooms:
Can both of you post the last 3 alphanumeric of your software version. It'll be nj7 or nin.
[Samsung Gear S] almony8:
Any word on the sprint firmware yet? Patiently waiting to root my gear s

[Samsung Gear S] ctyrell:
Nj7
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
didn't get any error message but after it downloaded it came up alright and passed and everything in odin and then my watch restarted and came back on exactly as it was before - didn't reset or root it. tried it a couple of times - any suggestions??
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
If Odin says "passed" and the watch rebooted, it sounds like it went through just fine. It's not supposed to wipe the watch or anything.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
but in your instructions it says that it returns to the start screen and you have to reconnect up - i just had to enter the pin lock on my sim and it went straight through. and when i tried to run the sdb script it comes up with access denied or something like that.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
When the watch boots back up, did u go through the menu and make sure USB debugging is enabled?
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
yes it stayed enabled when it turned back on

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

any suggestions?
[Samsung Gear S] cerisu:
I flashed the rooted firmware and everything seems to be fine. I changed the icons as well. (Thanks for the great job). It supposed to boot straight way if you flash "sotck" fimware by odin. It does not whipe anything. It must be somewhere else. Did you extract sdb straight under C: partition of your computer?
[Samsung Gear S] darksimo:
hi! nothing happened

i root my gear s evrythings gone on the right way ,but how can i check the root!

when i run the sdb script nothing happen in the watch.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

i root my gear s evrythings gone on the right way ,but how can i check the root!

when i run the sdb script nothing happen in the watch.! i have the same problem!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Thats a possibility as well. I just download and rechecked the rooted firmware, its the right one.

The SDB script, which is barely a script at that, but all it does is go to the SDB folder which should be located at C:\

it then checks for devices and list it if its connected

then it enables root access and then pauses, at the pause you can see if your device is actually listed and if root was successfully turned on.

Im starting to get the feeling that I should make a quick root checker package. Actually Im gonna start that right now, shouldnt take but a few minutes.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Here ya go: Root Checker for Gear S

Ok, so this is what an unrooted watch will do when you try to run the script.

And this is what it will look like in download mode
[Samsung Gear S] czechuk:
The folder scripts aren't working.

How to make them?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Please confirm that you actually have root access....
[Samsung Gear S] czechuk:
Themes & Icon Packs works.
[Samsung Gear S] Nascar Dog:
I am thinking of rooting my new Samsung Gear S but want to make sure it is possible.

Model Number SM-R750W

Software Version R750WVLU1BOA7

Canada - No Carrier

I am a bit confused by the line on the first page that says:

IF YOU ARE ON NJ7 OR ANY OTHER FIRMWARE VERSION AND THE COUNTRY MATCHES UP, YOU CAN UPDATE.

I am on OA7 so can I root it?

If yes, do I use SM-R750W - R750WVLU1BNJ7* - Canada

Or do I need an exact software version as the one I have.

I assume OA7 is newer than NJ7 ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Sorry for the confusion, the first and second post are being updated right now to streamline it a bit.

This is the one you should use: SM-R750W - R750WVLU1BOA7_R750WXAC1BOA7_XAC - Canada
[Samsung Gear S] czechuk:
"Switched to 'root' account mode

You have root!!"
[Samsung Gear S] Nascar Dog:
Thank-you for the quick response.

Once rooted, can I apply SM-R750W - R750WVLU1BOA8_R750WUUB1BOA8 - Canada or SM-R750W - R750WVLU1BOC1 - Canada that are listed in the second page?

Are the versions using hex type numbers?

Is OC1 newer than OA8

Also wondering if you can go back and forth with a newer version and then back to an older version.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
You wont notice the difference in the firmware, OA7 is the latest firmware thats

officially

for canada. C1 is the newest firmware that will work for Canada but it wasnt specific to that country. You can go right to the C1 version if you like, it wont hurt anything. Alot of the old firmware is going away so that people will always be flashing the latest version, its alot of files, Ive actually got a big chart for all of it that I use to keep it straight.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
yeah that's what mine did pretty much even though it passed and reset in odin
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
actually i just put it into download mode again and System Status is Custom but current binary is Samsung Official. i will download the root checker and see what that says. i got permission denied in sdb
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
It should still say Samsung official but say custom under it. I don't understand why the root permission wouldn't work. I'll check the permissions for that file again.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
can you also pm me with the root checker as for some reason i cant get it off mediafire at the moment
[Samsung Gear S] darksimo:
Problem!!

hi i use root cheker, its says that i have root!but still sdb don't work !!!!!

any suggestions??? THANK YOUUU.

i try custom theme and icons pack , and it's working!!
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
Same problem here. Root checker says I have root but when I run sdb to install folder structure for custom stuff it just comes up permission denied again. Does your root checker need a few touch ups?
[Samsung Gear S] darksimo:
i think that we have root ,-because i try install the themes and icons BY the GREAT Cipherswitch and it's working- , but there is something wrong in the sdb script .
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Nothing visible happens on the watch when going between root and developer mode. It's just something that happens in the background. You don't actually walk around all the time in root mode, it's just turned on when needed. Try to make sure your sdb folder is in the right location otherwise I can write something up real quick to fix that for you.

Actually if the theme packs are working then sdb is in the right place, must be something else. Are you guys both using the South East Europe firmware?
[Samsung Gear S] darksimo:
hi! great man;) ,i used this one SM-R750 - R750XXU2BOG2_R750OXA2BOG2_XEF - France for my watch ,and itis the rignt one, everything is ok , except the sdb script, few minutes ago i pushed the sound boost and it's working , so ...!!
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
I will have another go shortly and let you know the results. Using south east Europe.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Well I obviously have root. I just installed the blackberry 10 theme and it works fine. I still just don't have the folder structure on there which I would like to have so I can do other custom edits
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
Can you rewrite the script that creates the folder structure please [MENTION=2242705]cipherswitch[/MENTION]? I think that is the problem
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
No joke, it's been downloaded over 30k times, if you could show me a screen shot of what ur experiencing, I can narrow down the issue.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
here it is - i just checked the folder structure again now and it is just the default
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
well thats a new one.... Im on it.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
Thanks heaps
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
well..... something changed in the new firmware, I confirmed the old firmware works, the new one doesnt seem to. I dont think Ive gotten rusty but I'll check the folder permissions today and re-upload. I'll start with the AT&T firmware ( so I have something to test) and then South East Europe.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
So does this mean that pretty much anyone who has downloaded the new firmwares will be unable to run the sdb script that puts the folder structure on?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
probably not any of the new ones. I redid one of them from scratch, same permissions and files Ive always used and the sdb script doesnt work. I flashed old firmware, and it works fine. The problem isnt the sdb script or the sdb script its trying to run, its the permissions of the folder its in. Im on it right now.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
But will anyone else who has this south east Europe firmware have the same problem? I was about to get one of my mates to root his watch using the same firmware but I might just tell him to wait
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
I pulled the firmware for the time being, I couldnt even do it on my watch so its the new version of the firmware. Im transferring all the firmware now so I can compare them to see what changed. Ive actively working on it right now.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
Thanks so much!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Try this: SDB Script
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
Will try now

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

Didn't work. It rebooted my watch and didn't come up with the permission denied. But it also didn't create the root folder structure that it was meant to
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
redownload it, I had just written that to fix the permission issue, not create the folders. I just combined them and updated that link.

New SDB Script
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
Didn't work. I checked the scripts as well and they look exactly the same?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
I just added one more line to the sdb script , the one that runs the folder script. I confirmed it worked on the new firmware.
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
It still didn't work but I tried using the original sdb script that was from like ages ago and it worked!!

So maybe if other people have this same issue, they run your new script that edits permissions and writes folder structure, and if it doesn't work they go back to the first script that doesn't do anything to the folder permissions and that should work. Does that make any sense?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
I just re rooted bone stock firmware, reflashed a watch back to bone stock from original untouched firmware, flashed the new root firmware, confirmed the first script didnt work, ran the new script and it fixed the permissions and created the folders. the original script is very simple so combining them was not hard at all. Ive watched it run without the echo, it works. Moving forward anyone who downloads new or old firmware and runs the script, it will still do what it was supposed to do, anyone who had the new firmware and problems with the script can download the new one and it should be good to go, Ive also updated the 1st post with the new script.
[Samsung Gear S] cappone:
how long it teaks to flash it via odin?
[Samsung Gear S] darksimo:
don't work for me!!

unfortunately, didn't work for me ,i use the new sdb and script!!!
[Samsung Gear S] Hirnkammer:
Hello cipherswitch

the new script works great many thanks :D

All folders have been created
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
try using the old one again now. that's what i did - the new script didn't work for me but when i tried the original one again afterwards it did work.

only a minute or two - its pretty quick and you can watch the progress as it goes along.
[Samsung Gear S] cappone:
Hm then i did somthing wrong, i is stuck on rootfs.img
