Hey I followed the root instructions, did it all, now want to go back to stock to receive updates etc. I did a factory reset but it is failing and saying that it has been modified.

I read your posts saying that a factory reset would do that, but it hasnt seemed to work. Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks

I am wondering which firmware to use for rooting. I have an AT&T gear s and it is currently on R750AUCU1AOB1

Cheers for the reply,

just to be clear, do you mean flash stock firmware using Odin?
[Samsung Gear S] jmattick:
What do I need to edit to make my weather app stop showing Celsius over Fahrenheit? I've rooted and updated my device, an unlocked AT&T Gear S, but for some reason the weather app chose Celsius.

I figure it's in a pref file somewhere but I can't even begin to think where

Hello [MENTION=2242705]cipherswitch[/MENTION] :)

I found new firmware for Gear S XEO (Poland) :)

Any chances for ROOT ? :)

Thx for help :)
[Samsung Gear S] ikenvape:
I just received my watch a few moments ago so I may be incorrect.

Go to settings in Gear manager then manage applications click weather settings and you should be set
[Samsung Gear S] jmattick:
I can't do that as I'm one of the few who have this Gear S and no longer have a Samsung phone. I mean I do, and I could set it up with that but it won't pair via Bluetooth to another phone without wiping the device .

I guess I could set it up with my Note 3 then delete the Bluetooth address so it pairs with my new phone but I've never had good luck with that, meaning I don't get messages or phone calls through the phone.

I was just hoping someone knew where the prefs file was that supported Weather.

I never use the scripts, all I can say is make sure you have sdb installed in c:/sdb.

Question about rooting and installing the apps w/o gear manager.

I have a HTC M8 device trying get it to recognize as a Samsung device by changing the build.prop etc. Still no success.

If I root this device, will it give me access to install the Tizen apps (.apk's) by itself or do I need Gear Manager for all that?

Please advise and Thank You.

[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
To get maximum benefit you will need a cheap samsung phone that is compatible. I think the cheapest is probably the s4 mini. There are instructions on another thread which I will get the URL of later for you which explains how to do this.

Yah, I looked in the other thread and still had no success.. I do agree either I get a cheap SG phone or just pay a friend to wipe out the device and I connect to it til I get all the goodies I want on my device.

Hey I don't want to rush you (especially with all the other requests that you must be getting) but how long will it be before the nz version is available (even if you just give me an estimate of time eg one -two days/weeks/months) - is there anything I can do to help you with our is changing the firmware extremely complex. I don't mind having a crack at it if it means I can get root faster.

Cheers jp98
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Yes, the NJ7 version of the firmware is on the first post. The latest B1 (whats available for that variant) will be up by the end of the week.

Alrighty then... so here's my list.

There is no information on box that I can see regarding this. See below photos of the box sides that had info on them. One is just the product label from the place I bought it from (there is nothing underneath this label either).

[Samsung Gear S] Jhfreeze:
A mega thanks to you my friend for updating all of this. I've been at this thread since like June thinking it was dead. I've been playing with the android port which is freaking awesome but also like my Tizen and really wanted root for my R750T. Thanks again for taking the time to get all the firmware's together.
[Samsung Gear S] spadz93:
Was there ever any hope for the Verizon model gear s? Believe it was SM-R750V model number. I got a Moto 360 back in August (2015) and immediately retired the Gear S, so I know that there hasn't been any firmware updates on it since then, not sure what version that puts me at. I can power it up and look. Now that I'm seeing an android port for this watch, I want to tinker with it, but I'd imagine you need root access to even come close to installing that.
[Samsung Gear S] almony8:
Does the sprint model being rooted mean I can flash the android port onto it safely now?
[Samsung Gear S] James.Markham0757:
Am I able to root my Device?

AT&T - US

R750AUCU1AOB1
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
I'll narrow it down by the provider and the areas they cover. I'll have an answer for you when I post it up.

Not dead, just away. While I do see the work being done on the android port, I'm keeping mine on Tizen. I need the watch for the battery life, thats just the truth and Tizen is where its at. There hadnt been much movement with the firmware updates and such so there wasnt much to do, I got tons to do now.

I havent seen anything for the verizon variant. Their devices are always locked up tight.

Possibly? I dont know enough about the android port at this point. I havent been following the thread. The sprint model will be covered in this batch though.

Yes, that version will be covered in this batch. My personal watch is the AT&T model being used on T-Mobile, so that one is technically already done. Just hasn't been posted.

Its slow and steady work. I'm pretty much using any spare time I have for this, but it is coming this month.
[Samsung Gear S] spadz93:
Ach crap, well i guess I'll just go back to waiting patiently for someone to get their hands on a firmware
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:

[Samsung Gear S] mettercomputers:
can anyone point me to the root file for the SM-R750P (Sprint) I own the T-mobile version also but need to find someone to fix cracked screen still functions as new even with crack but want it fixed before using.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Please edit your post and delete that giant quote, it's hell for the mobile users.

I haven't posted the sprint version yet, it will be up in a few days. The firmware is not interchangeable with the tmobile version.

The tmobile watch must use the firmware for the R750T, no exception.
[Samsung Gear S] mettercomputers:
edited I meant I own both but am having to use the sprint one with mobile network while I try to find someone to fix the cracked screen on my T-Mobile one which I am running on NET10. I am willing to test the Sprint version when you have it ready I am running the AoA7 version Rom.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
I'll post the carrier specific ones first. Regarding the broken watch, your cheapest bet is a blacklisted one off eBay and use it for parts.
[Samsung Gear S] darksimo:
informations please

hi , i want know please if it's possible to downgrade my gear using odin to one of the old firmware for france and root it?
[Samsung Gear S] jp98:
Should be all good but perhaps wait on the comments of others. As long as you had the same version etc. it would just mean that if you reset your watch it would probably go back to the newer firmware without root.

As I said earlier I would recommend waiting for the comments of others before doing this.

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Hopefully New Zealand rates pretty high in your list ?

Full stock firmware NO ROOT - SM-R750T
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Is there a market for this? Ive seen it online for like $100.
[Samsung Gear S] GOIGIG:
Ive bought multiple from all of the retailers online from 50-200 dollars and none of them have the stock, or cant contact someone with them. Honestly probably not a huge market i broke mine in a car accedent i was even reenbursed the 100 dollars and samsung charges 250 dollars for a repair and that STUPID. Again if you find a retailer ill buy as many as i can so i have backups haha please let us know. If there anre more people who need them i can hold onto a few

Also tmobile gave me the gear s2 3g for 100 dollars brand new (because they couldn't fix my gear s) bought a new gear s on ORDER up for $225 now u have both l. I'd still like extra screens I'll have the gear s for 10 years lol its basically my primary phone with Android on it. Just can't use the gear manager lol who cares. I'll email the people I contacted and see of they have anymore. They told me theyed email me but around this time of year I'm sure they are busy.
[Samsung Gear S] darksimo:
hi is there anyone who tried to downgrade the BOG2 WITH one of the pre rooted firmware?
[Samsung Gear S] Jhfreeze:
I"m going to buy another one or two as well. Especially since there is no upgrade in hardware in the new one, the screen is bigger on gear s, there's an android port and rooted tizen, and I read they plan on downgrading the processor to single core in the gear s3 to improve battery which is great for general users but not for power users.
