To add on don't just put too much on there as you are limited to 80MB in most places.

If you want to have a lot of fun go play with the sh scripts in /etc/profile.d/ since it's setup as a wearable it isn't built with the other scripts to run mobile mode.

You can't do too much without building from source as md5 is built into all the default apps.

You can run T-Mobile rootfs on AT&T watches without any effects. Some watch faces are different, some icons. Some network options are enabled but that's about it. All the carrier network settings are stored on the csc.img so don't mess too much with that.

I've flashed this watch so many times in the last week.

Cipherswitch: I don't understand why your images loose root on reset. None of my images do.

Because of the 80MB size limit and / being un-writeable without root. I've been trying to think of a way to get Sprint and Verizon dumps so I can make them a rootfs.img to flash and also one that will be clear to reflash to remove root.

But that's not been too high on my list of to-do's. .

Not limited bluetooth.

A way to get all watch faces on screen without them having a special call in them and the correct privileges.

Custom window managers.

Lots more.

I hope someone makes android for this beauty soon...

That being said, I'm not very tizen savvy, I'm learning as I go and being on my third one I want to make it last awhile before I got tmo up for another one; what is the best way to get in and remove some apps? That annoying shealth has to go. I'm tired of it bugging me all day or congratulating me at night.

I found the touch sound here : '/usr/share/feedback/sound/touch/touch.ogg' and that is a read-only file system.

I'm not sure I want to go messing w/ permissions because I'm not so great at that.

Ha! same here, I keep getting that stupid reminder that I reached x amount of steps. Everytime I just think "ARRG! I dont care!!"
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Dont know why it loses root. I mean it only does it when you do a total reset, not just a power cycle. It shouldn't really affect anyone, unless you are constantly messing with the watch and factory reset alot ( thats me btw ).
[Samsung Gear S] tmaurice:
Followed directions exactly and now have a rooted ATT Gear S! Thanks again.
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
Not sure ...

So, I'm not sure what is stopping me from being able to edit files in or push files to "/usr/share/feedback/sound"

error: failed to close '/usr/share/feedback/sound/touch/touch.ogg' : Read-only file system

According to http://xdaforums.com/gear-2/themes-apps/themeing-icon-packs-requests-t2844738 [Theming for rooted Gear 2], we should be able to push to this directory.

Looking at "ls -l" it shows that root has rwx permissions ... looks like the permissions are set at "rwx r-x r-x" ...

I can write to "/opt/share/settings/..."

Thoughts?
[Samsung Gear S] ooms:
With root on in the sdb shell type "mount -o remount rw, /" make sure you get the space between , and /. That will allow you to everything. Without typing that the only folder you can write is /opt.

Cipher: No clue, my 3 rootfs imgs in general section have worked and tested with factory resets on my AT&T Gear S, I've flashed them a few times. Right now I have T-Mobile image on there as it was still on my desktop, as I was playing with Tizen Mobile in my custom source image and ended up without video.
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
Will that allow me to sdb push from the dos shell though?

Yes it allows you full write privileges, till you reboot.

New firmware added for the following:

SM-R750J - R750JKDU1AOA4_R750JKDI1AOA4 - Japan (WIFI ONLY MODEL)

The following is a public service announcement....

mostly for those with an actual SM-R750J or a Sprint / Verizon variant.​

PEOPLE PLEASE DONT FLOOD MY INBOX OR THE THREADS FOR WHAT IM ABOUT TO SAY

but since the R750J firmware flashes onto the Sprint variant and then leaves it without mobile data (because the R750J is the wifi only model) ,

I'm working on the data/modem portion of it thats missing from the rom.

I'M ACTIVELY WORKING ON IT, ITS #1 ON MY LIST RIGHT NOW-THERE IS NO ETA, this may or may not work for the Verizon variant as well, one thing at a time.

PLEASE DON'T GO NUTS FLASHING THIS ROM ONTO YOUR WATCH AND THEN COMPLAINING THAT IT KILLED YOUR DATA!

THE WATCH WILL BE

STRICTLY

BLUETOOTH

ONLY

(with root,duh.) IF YOU FLASH THIS ROM IN ITS CURRENT FORM!!!​

You have been warned.

​

thanks to [MENTION=658659]ChardC[/MENTION] for discovering this fluke while trying to recover his watch.

[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
[MENTION=5844563]blazinandroid1[/MENTION]

It's possible, hasnt been tried on the Verizon model that I know of nor can I advise anyone to try it. I would assume both of the CDMA watches are physically the same so if a mobile connection is not a big deal to you, then you can try it. Be advised - if it does or doesn't work, I don't nor does anyone have the original firmware to restore your watch back to the Verizon firmware.

Also guys please don't quote the super long posts, it's a pain with the scrolling from mobile devices and it just adds more pages to the thread. It's bad enough some crazy popup is trying to install malware on my android. Gotta look into this rc thing....

Just a word of advice. If your going to do Verizon root method on here. A few post back. MAKE SURE. ONCE YOU HAVE ROOT. Delete gear manager and start fresh. I wasted hour trying to figure things out. That just needed to reinstall gear manager. Clearing the cache won't fix anything. Reinstall will.

Scratch that, its on the way. Its going to be region code COO ( columbia) which is the same thing I did the the BOA8 firmware that works perfect on the canadian watch. Give me a few hours.

Also only download firmware from the first or second posts on this thread, anything else in between I tend to delete so people don't use the wrong software.

[Samsung Gear S] InsayneShane:
Hey bud, is this a very recent firmware? I have mine rooted so update check fails, just wondering when this firmware came out?

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
update checks will fail. If you were using BOA8, it was current until yesterday. The latest firmware is below:

SM-R750W - R750WVLU1BOC1 - Canada

Just to give you an idea of the naming conventions.

Release date of the firmware

This code consists of two letters. The first letter determines the year, the second is the month.

Letter	Year	Month

A	- 2001	-January

B	- 2002	- February

C	- 2003	- March

D	- 2004	- April

E	- 2005 - May

F	- 2006	- June

G	- 2007	- July

H	- 2008	- August

I	- 2009 - September

J	- 2010- October

K	- 2011 - November

L	- 2012	- December

M - 2013 - January

N - 2014 - February

O - 2015 - March

Examples:

R750OXX1BNJ7 : : N = 2014 ; J = October ; 7 = Release 7

R750DOMU1BOA4 : OA4 : O = 2015; A = January ; 4 = Release 4

R750XXU1BOA7 ; OA7 ; O = 2015; A = January ; 7 = Release 7

R750WVLU1BOA8 ; OA7 ; O = 2015; A = January ; 8 = Release 8

R750WVLU1BOC1 ; OC1 ; O = 2015; C = March; 1 = Release 1

Release version of the firmware

This is a number (sometimes a letter) at the very end of the firmware, which refers to the release number of the firmware. If the release number is higher that 9, it will be letters, so A = 10; B = 11; C = 12 etc...
[Samsung Gear S] InsayneShane:
Thanks for the breakdown! That's extremely useful to have in mind when updating/searching for latest firmware. Just got a SIM plan yesterday, loving this thing! You should consider adding a link in the OP to the custom themes thread.

Oh, a question... What's the point of the script for creating the folders on the watch? I'm assuming they're for themes.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
the scripts make it easier to add ringtones and stuff....
[Samsung Gear S] InsayneShane:
Ahh okay, kind of thought so!
[Samsung Gear S] almony8:
I can't decide if I wanna flash that firmware on my sprint gear s or wait until the data gets fixed. This is very tempting as my phone is always near me and the watch is always connected to Bluetooth anyway, but I still like the idea of having my data that I pay extra for monthly. Decisions decisions
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
ah the temptation of root.....
[Samsung Gear S] apheonixboy:
Edit: I'm Terribly sorry, I didn't see the OP reply a few pages back regarding the Sprint Models...

Tried to root my SM-R750A (R750AUCU1AOB1) and Odin froze early in upload. Waited an hour & disconnected, now watch stuck in Download mode, message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

Restarted Odin and watch and tried again but no joy.

Installed Kies but couldn't initiate recovery.

Help?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
did you follow everything for drivers?
[Samsung Gear S] roebling:
Yes, and your instructions are stunningly terrific. The text, the illustrations, best I've seen on this site, maybe ever. (And I'm old as dirt!)

Two concerns I had (and by "concerns" I mean "areas where I diverged from the instructions") were 1) my phone was already on the newer AT&T ROM & that ROM's not explicitly supported, and 2) my phone hasn't been unlocked.

However, as I write this I notice that mighty Odin's making progress uploading the newer ROM onto the phone/watch. Previous attempts only got me to maybe 5%, now I'm about 60%.

Only difference, driver-wise, was I installed Kies 3.0, then Kies 2.6, then uninstalled Kies 3.0. Coincidence, maybe, but I thought I should mention it in case Kies did install something needed.

Thanks again for the incredible readability and detail in your instructions! Gorgeous, elegant, and inspiring, those instructions have really raised the bar!

[Samsung Gear S] asperrrrrrone:
Just for information: I tryed to copy all the root folder in the /ringtones folder to have a system copy to study; I succeeded with only some files missing; I then removed the files copied inside that folder (/ringtones) and I got my device bricked (it suddenly crashed with black screen), just like insted of coping files SDB just mirrored them (/dev, /etc, etc.)... I tryed with download mode 1st time without success (odin failed at ~5%); then i re-entered the download mode with a message saying "last update was unsuccessfull, use kies to restore"); I reflashed using the same odin procedure and the same image this time with success. Maybe this test can be useful to someone.

I chipherswitch can add new updates firmwares with root access i will be very grateful !
[Samsung Gear S] Jhfreeze:
So even though these awesome root instructions are broken down as if you would only flash OA7 after going through root steps with NJ7 and to use OA7 as an update after rooting, I'm already on OA7-tmobile US. But, NJ7 and OA7 both have rootfs.tar.md5 and since this thread is quiet I'm just gonna shoot for following the root instructions step by step but with using OA7 image instead of the initial list stating to use NJ7. Hopefully my logic is sound. I know I'm a little late to the game but I was on Gear 2 up until last week and am dying to start modding and breaking down my Gear S.
