Im in the same boat, got sidetracked working on the house. My media closet was being seriously neglected. Now that its taken care of,S health is at the top of my list .

Well getting Lollipop on my Note 3 was at the top, but now thats done. Now back to the Gear.

Any rooting steps for Sprint devices
[Samsung Gear S] ooms:
At the current moment the call forwarding is handled by Samsung not the carriers. But it has been said the carriers would be taking that over at some point.

The real test would be unlocking the AT&T Gear S, and seeing if the it shows up in T-Mobile systems as a Gear S. Which means even when call forwarding gets moved to the carriers it would still work.
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
No. We need stock Sprint firmware and it is not available, same as Verizon.
[Samsung Gear S] RamesisX:
Thanks for the update
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
I don't see how call forwarding is handled by Samsung.

When I set up call forwarding, Gear Manager and my phone initialize call forwarding through my carrier network (Verizon) by dialing a special code through the dialer. Since my Gear S has its own phone number (AT&T device using an MVNO sim card), the call is then forwarded by Verizon to my Gear S phone number, just like it would if I forwarded to a landline or any other phone number.

I think the text message forwarding, and remote connections from the watch to my phone, using WiFi and data but not bluetooth, is handled by Samsung. But not calls because I don't have a watch from the same carrier as my phone. So when my watch says, "Connected Remotely," that is through Samsung's servers. But when my phone is called and the call is forwarded to my watch when my watch is not remotely connected to my phone, that is through my carrier, Verizon. So it's not using the same phone number, it's using the individually-assigned phone number associated with my watch's sim card.

If I had a Verizon watch and a Verizon phone, that would be a different story. I think Samsung is handling that hand-off so that the watch identifies as my phone's phone number if they are remotely connected and I use the watch to make a call.

Do you have a working gear manager on your lollipop? I had downloaded the latest version a couple weeks ago and it wasn't compatible with lollipop. :-\

BTW, if you need any new pieces for the media cabinet, let me know. Lol. One division of my company handles AV, custom theater design and construction, and media distribution. [emoji106]
[Samsung Gear S] Rayvenhawk:
I rooted my Gear S and placed a notification MP3 on there and for some odd reason it doesn't produce any sound, yet it plays fine on my phone & pc. So I converted it to OGG and it plays on the Gear S now but I've run into a giant issue, my notifications eventually come in but there is no sound even if I use the stock ones. I did a factory reset to what I thought would completely return my Gear S to stock but all it did was erase my settings (which wasn't a big deal as I had nothing besides the default apps on it).

What am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Are you running the appropriate .sh file using SDB after you copy the new sounds over?

install_ringtones.sh or whatever it was called.
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
I cannot figure out .edj files for boot animations. I really want to just start creating animation frames and folders but there isn't really anything about how they need to be set up for Tizen devices that is very clear. One user in has done it using Ubuntu and that's what I'm using but I want to figure out how to get the frames and reference files and structure set up first.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
I gave up.... I went onto two custom roms and even the leaked stock 9005 rom. Gear manager flipped the hell out to say the least. I installed 3 or 4 apks with all the extra samsung stuff, still no go. Ended up rolling back to 4.4.2 for now until Samsung fixes it.

Eh... media cabinet, glorified shelf. I run an HTPC for the living room and bedroom tv's in standard mid towers (life is good without a cable bill, thank god for nzb's), another mid tower for my surveillance and a 4U rack mount housing a multi honed server 2012 r2 machine handling all my media downloading , storage shares, dns, dhcp ,firewall duty and lcd's mounted throughout the house. Just waiting for my wife to approve a sonicwall to put in front of the server. Gotta keep busy somehow.

Boot Animations

Okay folks, I think I may have figured it out.

Our boot animation .edj file can be decompiled in Ubuntu according to these instructions, thanks to [MENTION=3483402]kashortiexda[/MENTION]! http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55154103&postcount=25

It has to be decompiled then manipulated, then recompiled and pushed back to the device. I'm going to create a boot animation and see if it works and will check in w/ the results.
[Samsung Gear S] ooms:
It's handled by Samsung in the sense that when your phone isn't connect to the watch, It gets forwarded to your watch rather than going to your phone. You always dial out from your watch when not connected to your phone via the watches number, same with texts.

Also edj isn't Tizen, it's a file for enlightenment window manager. There are many tutorials on how to decompile edit and recompile. Which I have posted about in other threads.

To also add on to other false information given. You can flash a rootfs img file from any carrier to your device. If you are on Sprint or Verizon you just won't be able to go back to stock. There are very few changes between them mostly just vconf db changes to enable or disable settings, and different colored watch faces. Like with anything don't chance flashing if you don't have a way back.

Like I have said before Tizen IS Linux, functions the same way. Learn how to setup permissions in smack, and any rpm built for armv7l can be installed, hell you could run gnome out kde over enlightenment(if you can find the files to install built for the architecture).
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
That's a nice setup. Similar to what I have in the basement, but I also have DirecTV in the mix. ;) ... And three kids don't have access to the servers, just the living room, man cave, and master bedroom.

OK OK OK, back on topic.
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
[One more time without the sarcasm] I am sure people would appreciate it if you created a universal rootfs, since you seem to be saying it is possible.

Yes Tizen is Linux-based or whatever. Like Android. I'm aware of that.

As for the .edj issue ... there is a link in my post if anyone wants to learn how to decompile and recompile them for themes and boot animation modification. I didn't see anything you'd put together re how to do it for Gear devices so I posted what I found.

Attached image is what happened when I flashed an image that was incompatible with my device. I don't recommend it.
[Samsung Gear S] Rayvenhawk:
Yeah, I ended up finding out what I did wrong. After I factory reset my watch I re-rooted it again and created the folders and placed the OGG file in the Alert folder and ran the update scripts, now everything is back the way it should be. I'm thinking my watch didn't care for the MP3 file version and even though I deleted it and added the OGG version, it kept the old file in the list and my only explanation is that it was getting confused. Either way all is well now, I can sleep knowing when I get a notification my watch plays the Power Ranger communicator sound effect. Though I'm certain it will get old rather quickly as it is the sound I hear for every freaking notification (emails, texts, etc), if it was possible to have it narrowed down to just texts I'd be happier with that, but that isn't possible just yet (or ever).

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
I didn't want to start anything, I just honestly was a little butthurt. He really did help me with an important Linux command. And where I'm wrong I don't mind being corrected either.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57711113&postcount=11 <-- is where talked about what you needed to do with edj files.

A "Universal" root isn't going to solve anything as there isn't really a reason for someone to have root unless they know what they are getting themselves into.

There are themers that don't know the first thing about root, but know how not to muck up their stuff.

There are "noobs" that know how to use google to figure things out.

Then there are people that can't see that there is a space between , and / so they message you asking why something doesn't work. <- I even help them, just wish they would open their eyes.

Tizen ISN'T Linux based, It is Linux!

Don't think of it like Android, think of it like ubuntu vs unix.

Here are images showing R750T rootfs running on R750A.

I am more than willing to help anyone, but I'm not going to spoon feed you how to do something.

Since I'm now done here and don't plan to come back to this forum.

csc.img - Make it so you can change your APN - mps/CSC/Customer/ATT/customer.xml <- in that file change editable from no - to yes.

rootfs.img - in usr/share/elementary/themes - is a theme file for the device.

- in usr/share/elementary/images - are a bunch of system images

USB tethering is possible. -

All settings are stored in a db which a simple vconf command you can change hidden settings. -

All but the 3 Fancy clocks can be changed, which in turn can change the default lock screen clock. -

Don't forget that / is always mounted as ro, you have to type "mount -o remount rw, /"

There is a special dev system built into Tizen where you can do things via fastboot, - it's the only way anyone will ever get android running on here.

Good Luck.

There is a "Factory Reset" ran everytime you connect your device to a new bluetooth device. <- that's why having it go away isn't fun.

I haven't flashed your images, I don't know if when you flash all your apps and stuff get reset, as with mine it didn't.

Good day gents.

Message to the masses.

As interesting as this is, this is an argument that is waaay out of hand. I thought we were all adults on here. Not little kids that are picking up all our toys and going to play somewhere else. Ooms has more advanced threads that jump into busybox installation and more, its next level stuff. Personally, for me and several other users out there, we don't really brick devices and freak out. If something gets mudded up and doesn't boot anymore, we can wipe, reflash or all that other jazz. For some users who haven't a clue what they are doing, which was most of us at one point or another.... this isn't really an option thus this thread.

Unfortunately some feelings were definitely hurt on this forum, which is dumb and uncalled for. For anyone reading this,

dont take anything you read seriously. Nothing is supposed to be taken on a personal level.

We are all learning new stuff, learning is frustrating at times and ego's can get out of whack. My ultimate goal was getting this SIMPLE root guide setup and keep the more advanced stuff like theming, custom faces, and everything more complicated on a separate thread so its easier to find. To quote another user, this is a young root method and will change. This is just like the old MyTouch3g's back in the day, rooting was an annoying painful process and now its a one click deal, things change! Looks like the weight will now fall onto other users ( me included) to get it all sorted out and documented, I know I'm throwing several hours per day at it as the potential for Tizen is huge right now. For anyone out there that was butt hurt over anything said on here, I apologize in advance, I'm a tech guy, emotional stuff and social cues aren't my strong suit. If you met me in real life, everything I say comes out as sarcasm even though it isn't....don't get offended,seriously.

All that being said,

if anyone has any requests for firmware that isn't already posted please post the following:

A. Your device model (for example SM-R750W or SM-R750A)

B. Your software version

C. The country you purchased it from

D. If applicable, the wireless carrier.

Please post any issues you have either pre or post flash onto this thread, don't send PM's . We want to identify the issue and provide a solution that everyone can see.

ok, assuming good cable, good cradle on the watch, good drivers and in download mode. Disable avast for 10 minutes (right click on avast, select shield control and disable for 10 minutes. be sure to be running ODIN as an administrator and make sure you are NOT using a usb hub, use on of the ports directly on the machine. try these suggestions in order.

ATT R750A to Tmobile R750T

Happy New Year everyone.

I have an unlocked Gear S from ATT. i received the unlock code from ATT via email. The Gear S was never activated on ATT. I am with TMobile. I tried to connect the Gear S to TMobile's wearable plan for $5 a month, but I get a "Phone not allowed MM#6" error. I checked online and the IMEI is not blacklisted. I walked into TMobile and replaced the SIM just incase. Still the same result., "Phoned not allowed MM#6". When I plugged in a regular plan TMobile SIM chip the Gear works and connects to the network!

Would it be possible to flash the R750T firmware onto my R750A? Maybe that will allow me to connect to the TMobile wearable plan?

Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
If the watch works fine with a t-mobile chip at all, it's not gonna be the watch. It's provisioning on their end. I bought two from t-mobile and one came like that, it took like an hour on the phone and they were about to send a new Sim when it just came on by itself with the right phone number.

My bad, wrong on this one.
[Samsung Gear S] mikeo97:
Thanks for the reply and for your contributions to the forum.

Is it possible to flash the R750T firmware on the R750A?

**EDIT** See page 19 for additional help on this issue.

Thanks.

*EDIT* I extracted the stock TMobile firmware that I downloaded from sammobile with 7zip. I then opened the TMobile firmware folder I extracted and located the csc.img and rootfs.img files. I then compressed the csc.img and rootfs.img files back to .tar using 7zip. I then placed the Gear S into download mode and flashed using Odin 3.09. Now when I boot up the Gear, I no longer get the "phone not allowed MM#6" error with my $5 TMobile wearables plan SIM chip like I was getting before. The model number now reads SM-R750T in settings, gear info, About.

Thanks to member ooms for the help.
