thank you! I thought something might be wrong with my watch battery.
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
I fixed my Gear S, yes. It had to do with my driver setup since I'm using a Mac.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to change the touch sound for my Gear S. There is a B_TouchSound.ogg (or something) in the Preview folder, but replacing that, renaming it correctly and restarting doesn't seem to do anything.

Hmmm ...

nope, nada. They dont use sim cards, so they dont have serial numbers and are only identified by the IMEI. Unless someone manages to unlock the bootloader ( hard as hell btw) then I dont see it happening, same with the verizon variant. I had one in my hands for a few days and no progress.

Rooting Gear S

Hi!

I've rooted my GS and everything was smooth like a charm... but when I run the *.bat, the script doesn't make anything. My directories on the gear s are the same, no new directories added like in your photo.

What can I do? If I create manually the directories, will work as it suppose to work? Sorry if I'm noob...:silly: and I'm a girl!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
@YooNaa Kim

did the script do anything at all? did any windows pop up?
[Samsung Gear S] YooNaa Kim:
Yes, the cmd window appeared, but nothing important to view...

I forgot to mention, SDB is in the write place C:\SDB\sdb.exe
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
you either didn't download the SDB bridge or unzipped it to the wrong location, Please go through steps 4 through 4B again. That should solve your issue.
[Samsung Gear S] YooNaa Kim:
Tks a lot for your answer, I solved the problem... the path was C:\SDB\SDB\sdb.exe... my fault!

But when I run the update scripts, again something is wrong.
[Samsung Gear S] marshall_634:

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I was just wondering since I got the update yesterday if the Verizon Grar S getting the update will give an opening for root to be found?

[Samsung Gear S] xerythul:
I just wanted to hop in and mention that by following the easy instructions I was able to root my at&t gear s with no trouble. The only things I saw that were odd, after flashing the root img I didn't have to sync with my phone again to get any apps back, I also did not have to enable usb debugging a second time after the flash. I verified the file tree creation and have already added some custom ringtones. Next I'm going to put on a custom theme for kicks, see what I think.

Thanks for all your good work cipher! When can we expect more themes and stuff? :)

[Samsung Gear S] skyred5:
wow cipherswitch this is a great post! I'm so tempted to root my gear S right now. Just one question.

What else can I do besides changing notification ringtones and removing stock apps? If it has been mentioned in any of the 47 pages, I apologize for asking again.

[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Regarding themes and stuff.... I usually dont lack the time, its the inspiration. AFAIK nobody is really pushing development on this watch and my watch is a big part of my daily life as Im an IT guy and anything that makes my life easier gets alot of attention. I have 3 themes Im working on right now which will be put up in their corresponding thread when they are done.
[Samsung Gear S] xerythul:
I understand completely, I am actually looking forward to the star wars theme you listed as in development. As far as the watch goes I am happy you decided to spend the time that you have getting this small community to where we are now as far as rooting and scripting is concerned for doing basic functions. I can't help but hold out hope that as people see the other devices on the market and how terrible android wear is (IMO) that this device gains more traction.

If there is anything I can do to help you out with your efforts in this, time spent testing, ideas, themeing etc let me know!
[Samsung Gear S] skyred5:
Question with regards to rooting my Gear S;

1. "5. Download the correct Rootfs.img file for your device below"...

I see that the file here is the firmware for the gear S? What is the difference between the ones on this post and the ones from samfirmware?

2. My Gear S was shipped in from Korea. I have checked that my firmware should be under the KT corporation type. Would it be safe to flash a firmware from another country?

3. Your 2nd post "Download your corresponding file below and reflash using Odin. Be sure to save your ringtones/files and follow from STEP 6 onward." Is this the same as step 5? What's the difference with links from the two posts? I know that the latter contains the latest firmware, but why a reflash is required? Does it not affect the root status?

Pardon me if I may sound noob as all these are freshly new to me. Cheers!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
1. I get most of my firmware from sammobile and some other online sources. The difference is that they provide the WHOLE stock firmware package. I provide just the part of the firmware require to obtain root.

2. Country of origin is only secondary, you need to know specifically what model watch it is and what software is currently on it.

3. This is for people already rooted and want to update to the latest firmware while keeping root. As with most any Samsung device if not all of them, once rooted, the device knows and keeps count. OTA (Over-The-Air) updates will no longer work, thus why there are 2 firmware packages for some devices. As newer firmware becomes available, I download it, extract and modify the part we need and post it on here.
[Samsung Gear S] skyred5:
My Gear S specific model is R750K, with the latest korean firmware on it. Is it possible to put in the firmware from Singapore?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Notification tones, alert sounds, themes, minor customization and removing some stock stuff. It will change with time, but root is going to be the base for it regardless.

[Samsung Gear S] jesussmaria:
Hi friends, I need your help. I have a gear Original S of Spain (PHE). mistakenly install the firmware upgrade version of Poland (XEO). Now when you start it does in Polish language instead of Spanish. I have done reset and reinstalled several times Spanish firmware (PHE) but does not work. I can do? help please.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
thank you, I reach out to certain members from time to time when something isnt quite ready for prime time, I will keep you in mind. Android Wear sucks, alot. People will realize it soon enough.

In some cases you can, in others you cant. There are slight hardware differences between some regions that wouldnt allow it. That being said, for Korea its either SK Telecom or KT Corporation, neither should be sim-locked . There isnt enough exposure to it to see what would work or what wouldnt, download the singapore software, try to flash. If it takes, great. Otherwise you will get dev unsupported.

I just had to re-install my Gear Manager because of frequent bluetooth disconnects. I uninstalled and re-installed from the Galaxy Apps. It installed and two days later it took an update of itself and all the packages, no more issues and root was unaffected. I flash my phone ALOT going back and forth between roms so Im sure I caused my own problem.

It happens, dont freak out. You need to flash the whole firmware package. Here ya go : R750XXU1BOA7_R750OXX1BOA7-Spain

FEI- I have disabled my PM system for non contacts, its getting out of hand.

Just to answer a few misc questions:

1. No and I repeat

NO

, I will not help anyone do anything that will potentially (and probably) break their device. If you need to know how to flash something like a bootloader, you are already in waaay over your head. There are things like uncompressing modem files and such that if you need to ask how to do it then its not for you. If I don't bother (or anyone else for that matter) answering a question, don't go and start 5 different threads on the matter. Use the search function, READ READ READ. I won't spoon feed things that took me very long to learn.

2. I don't "teach" root, its not a skill. Rooting or root permissions is different for all types of devices. XDA has a plethora of information available to all, but you must use the search function. Google is your friend, trust the googs.

3. I do not provide source codes to anything nor do I have them. Honestly, if I had access to kernel and boot loader source code, don't you think I would have said so and done something with it already?

4. I'm very much aware and equally annoyed at the lack of progress for Verizon / Sprint devices. Believe me, I know. I search everyday, I tinker, experiment, and have even soft-bricked a few times. The second theres something, you will know (you know who you are).

5. Im not in this for the money, I enjoy tinkering and thats all it comes down to. I dont get paid for anything nor will I ever expect or ask for compensation, so dont expect or ask for some crazy custom one off firmware package just so you can go present it as your own ( you know who you are ) . If I cant support it, I wont mess with it, simple as that.

6. You like something I made, hit the thanks button, thats good enough for me. Honestly, it is.

7. Have an issue?

Post it in the relevant thread

. Have a suggestion? Again,

post it in the relevant thread.

I cant stress that enough, if you post an issue in the wrong thread, I lose track of them.

[Samsung Gear S] jesussmaria:
thank you very much for your help and advice friend. I miss all you indicated as me but after reinstalling the Spanish firmware you even start me as indicated in Polish. any other option?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
You need to install the full package, not just the root firmware. I uploaded the full package for spain here. Download it, unzip and flash it with ODIN just as you normally would. Once thats done, then you can flash the root firmware.

[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:

No. The AT&T software is only for the R750A. Can you elaborate more on your issue? The SK-Telecom watch should already have the latest firmware.
[Samsung Gear S] AndroidState:
I have the SM-R750K that in the samsung site it says it's from SK telecom.

In the great manager app I press Check for updates and nothing shows up. Not checking, nor updating. And I really want the B1 firmware with 2 new watch faces and more factional S Voice.

Thank you allot for helping me.

EDIT: I got mixed up. Is from KT telecom. Very sorry.

It is the SM-R750K model but in the watch itself it says SM-R750.

Sorry for nagging you.

its the same firmware AFAIK, the last digits are the date code for when it was released. For example, Japan was OA4 since they got it first and when we got it the version it was OA7. The OA7 firmware had several new watch faces included in it.

I get the firmware files from a few different sources. If its in the first 2 posts of this thread, its already rooted. The firmware I linked is already rooted.

No offense. But you have proven nothing, anytime you try to flash ANYTHING and it takes, the system status changes to custom. Whether or not whatever you flashed actually worked is a totally different case. Without the original firmware , no root.

Theres a reason why I haven't posted it up here and why I have a growing list of verizon and sprint users to notify when something has been done (Im looking at you [MENTION=4473982]ronaldheld[/MENTION]) .
