I see there is nothing for Verizon yet, I hope we at least get the software upgrade (love me some new faces lol). If anyone knows or hears anything about one please let us know!!

If there is an update soon would that be something that could help with allowing a root to be done?

Even though I am on VZW and can't take advantage of your work, great stuff and thanks for all your doing in here!!!
[Samsung Gear S] xerythul:
Sorry if this has been posted already, but will the image provided for the R750A (at&t) work with the NJ7 software version? It doesn't list a version like the rest of the images so I wanted to be sure. Thank you!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
I didn't list it because the R750A is specific to AT&T and only had the one software version R750AUCU1ANJ7 , it was the case for the R750T for T-Mobile which up until a few days ago only had R750TUCU1ANJ7. There is a software update available for the Tmobile version for which I totally changed how the root permissions are applied so they don't disappear after a factory reset and as soon as the update is available for AT&T, I will do the same.

Edit: Updated the OP to reflect software versions.

[Samsung Gear S] xerythul:
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me. I have spent too much time with my SGS4 and safestrap to not verify the version of everything before I try to do any root shenanigans. So thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] jesussmaria:
error target not found.. no connect
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
1. unplug usb cable, plug it into a DIFFERENT usb port, be sure the computer reacts.

2.if that doesnt work, reboot watch as if you were going into download mode but choose recovery instead. let it go through the process. then attempt to reflash.

its rare but it does happen. Ive flashed my watch a good 30+ times and had it happen maybe twice where it just doesnt respond to the computer with no rhyme or reason. Flashing back to recovery always does the trick.
[Samsung Gear S] jesussmaria:
at last! successfully completed! thank you very much friend .. !! great job ..;)

[MENTION=2242705]cipherswitch[/MENTION] My man,

Can you please outline the procedure for upgrading from old rooted ROM to new one?

Also, can you patch the latest ROM for Switzerland?

One more thing: Does the latest FW offer better battery life?

Have you seen any improvement?

Thank you sir.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Switzerland firmware isn't available yet,they are showing up kinda slow. Netherlands popped up today so I'll post that later on.

Procedure is pretty straight forward, download the file, put watch in download mode and flash with odin. I'll make a mini writeup if necessary.

Battery life does seem better, the UI seems to be a bit smoother.

Edit: confirmed, battery life

tons

better. Been off the charger since 8am yesterday w/bluetooth on all day, got maybe 30-40 notifications and still @ 60% as of 1:30pm today.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
So, no need to restore to factory settings first?

Just flash the new stock ROM via Odin over the old rooted one.

Thank you. Looking forward to Switzerland FW!!!

Yeah just flash the new one over the old one, it will go through an update and that's it.

S-Health killer script has been updated

Apparently the GUI doesnt like a blank option for an app so I changed the stock icon and updated the script, if you ran it before just re-connect your watch and run this new script. The script will replace the icon and then it will reboot the watch.

You should then have an icon that looks like this -->

It doesn't do anything, its just an icon.

Download the new script here.​
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Do you think that your last script is the reason my watch has been acting funny? Was just coming in to report that since I did that my watch seems sluggish in responding and is generally feeling worse.

I'll have to try the new script when I get home and see if it starts acting normal again.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Looks like it, Theres a script in the watch that takes like a mini inventory every time you pull up your menus, its dumb but whatever. It was a pretty simple fix,just confirmed it on mine by flashing back to stock factory nj7, then update to OA7 then root then original s-health script. I confirmed the lag and then flashed the new script which seems to have corrected it.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
So I can just run the new script? I don't need to revert back or anything first?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
No need to revert, just connect watch to pc, download+unzip and run script. since you already ran it before you will see a few errors because it try's to remove s-health first. You can confirm it works when your watch restarts at the end of the script.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Awesome. I should be near my computer in about an hour
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
What does this S-Health killer script do?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
completely disables s-health on the watch. no more pedometer or health alerts.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
Thanx
[Samsung Gear S] shojus:
So I am having the same problem that a couple people have had in this thread and I am getting "PHONE NOT ALLOWED MM#6" and I am wondering what exactly was done to correct this problem? I am rooted and unlocked to use on T-Mobile with an AT&T Gear S. Anyone have any insight? Thanks a bunch!
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Did not work for me. I even odin'd over your latest tmo build again. After doing that, the sluggish responses stopped. I ran the new script and it removed shealth, but it did not place the new icon in the menu, still black space that says "S Health" and sluggish response is back.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
any errrors when you ran it?

I mean....I know it works...
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
no, no errors.

There were errors after the first try because Shealth was already gone. I ran after restoring your most recent root image and there were 0 errors.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
ok...

when you unzip the file do you see both the script and the icon png?

does your watch reboot when the script is done?
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
yes, everything was there, and it successfully pushed the file to the device. does it's permissions need to be changed or anything?

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

just loaded up rootfs image in odin again and am sending it to the watch to start from scratch again.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
nope, root and rw permissions are both added before it starts.

same result. Blank logo area that says s health. The script ran fine with no errors.

This might be a silly question. I am trying to odin the file and its looking for .tar .md5 file, but I have the Disk Image file when I unzip the SM-R750A file.

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
worked like a charm this time! What was the problem? Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Tizen apparently... I changed it around so that instead of deleting the icon, it changes the permissions on the directory and simply deletes the main s-health app, replaces the icon with the new one and then goes after the rest of the s-health stuff. Oh and removed the reboot part, although I dont think that part affected it. Up next, Doctor Who (or star wars) icon pack! The current icons are too bright and cheerful, its kind of annoying.

New firmware for Croatia

Hello,

New firmware for Croatia:

1. Software version: R759XXU1BOA7 (now is new updated).

2. I purchase my watch in "Samsung store" in center of town Zagreb in state Croatia.

3. Model is SM-R750F , GH69-22662A.

4. Factory unlocked to all networks.

5. Manufacturer: Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.

Manufactured in: Vietnam.

6. Language: Croatian.

How can I rooting Gear S with this firmware?

Can you patch this ROM?

Thank you sir.

The last member with a watch manufactured in Vietnam had bought it in Romania. So given the region codes, I would try the Romanian firmware here.

Please try with the Romania firmware and let me know if you run into any hiccups.

[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:

Is this script for the old image? Because when I try the script for AOA7 I get "permission denied". I have to go back re-root and only then does the script work but if I update of course I lose root and the script no longer works.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
anything script related needs root. I posted the AOA7 update with root a while back, so you dont actually have to do the OTA update. When you flash the firmware its already the updated firmware w/root. Its on the OP as well as the following post for just the updated firmware.

also, I deleted that script. Whenever I update them, I delete all the old ones.

[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
I thought without root, you could not get those menus up on a Verizon phone.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Nope, this is the base stuff that's built into Tizen. The only reason it wouldn't work is if Verizon specifically disabled them... which isn't exactly a surprise.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
Unfortunately no. I wonder if i will ever see root on the S?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Oh its gonna happen whether Verizon likes it or not. I managed to get into engineering mode on the watch yesterday as well as a special diagnostic mode via usb that lets you flash things as a developer (thanks to qualcomm for that one) . Samsung was nice enough to leave a ton and I mean a ton of crap buried in the rom. Like seriously I found a picture of some ugly dude with a fish ,like 5000 emoji's that we will never use, references to wireless charging (don't get any ideas) and stuff like that, I also found some backdoor scripts left in for the engineers which are looking very promising. This version of tizen is the FULL phone OS and then they just skinned it to fit the watch leaving over a dozen features unused or just useless, adding to overall lag and just bloating the size of the rom. So root is gonna get done, probably just not the way it was done the first time around.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
That sounds promising, good job. Hopefully you can force it to be rooted before I switch phones.
