New S Gear - Update Root

Good Afternoon!

Just bought an Gear S yesterday and would love to be able to root it but i cant seem to find the software file. wondering if it exhists and i just cant find it or if it's possible to have it rooted.

Software Version: R750WVLU1BOA7 for a CAN SMR750W

I just bought this and would like to root it now rather then later in case i mess things up so i can bring it back .

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Its actually BOA8 for canada now.

SM-R750W - R750WVLU1BOA8_R750WUUB1BOA8 - Canada
[Samsung Gear S] cubin2003:
in response the above (i HATE not having 10 posts... been using this site for years.)

should i download that link and just flash with ODIN? i noticed it's not on the first page. Samsung gear is saying that BOA7 is the newest and so that's what the gear is running. the proper BOA7 isnt listed on the first page so i cant root and then update.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
it is on the first page, bottom of the list on post 2, my version will update and root it in one shot. Be sure you are using the R750W for Canada and not another watch.

gear s rooting question

ready to root gear s for t mobile and the firmwear in the root instructions (R750TUCU1ANJ7) is slightly diffrent then what is on my gear s (R750TUVU1ANJ7). is it ok to go ahead and flash it with the firmwear in the instructions . thanks for reply in advance
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Here's what you want,

SM-R750T - R750TUVU1AOA7_R750TTMB1AOA7 - T Mobile

This will root and update your firmware in one shot.
[Samsung Gear S] Jacob11701:
So besides stopping some background bloat, switching between country roms what more can you get outta the watch by rooting? I've been reading up for a while and since you can't really get Google now instead the main features I see are themes or some customers apps not in market. Is there anything I'm missing that would be cool? [emoji1]
[Samsung Gear S] bravo-_-:
This is why

Not everyone has a Samsung phone to get apps and watch faces.!Rooted devices for non Samsung holder is not rocket science, custom themes, apps, ring tones,that will make the gear s truly standalone.
[Samsung Gear S] Jacob11701:
The apps if they aren't in the gear store would be useful.
[Samsung Gear S] bravo-_-:
love My Gear S

34

unless someone know's how to port the gear 2 wgt apps, to the gear s? it's just a waiting game now. I don't see why Samsung would do this and stop the gear2 apps to work on the gear s watch. all they have do is add a few scripts. look at apple watch it just got on the market for consumers and it looks like it's been on the market for a long time, with more apps than the gear s.
[Samsung Gear S] Jacob11701:
Yea I have been trying to get Google Now on here forever. The old watches ran off of android wear then the newest old watch switched to Tizen. That's when things broke down. [emoji24]

Hi,

Askling for a root firmware

B. Software version: R750XXU1BOA7

C. The country you purchased it from : sWEDEN

[Samsung Gear S] bravo-_-:
only if we could get a good messaging app on the gear s like whatsapp,bbm,facebook are some that would be great.
[Samsung Gear S] Jacob11701:
Use BBM for my work that would be nice :D
[Samsung Gear S] ChardC:
Maybe Apple considers their consumers before technology adoptions; whereas Samsung does the opposite. Look at the number of firmware updates Samsung puts out... Remember Microsoft and the many patches aka Windows Updates to remedy exploits, bugs and so forth, well Samsung has taken over.
[Samsung Gear S] bravo-_-:
Samsung.......Really

true dat. Samsung claims that they got over a 1000 app's, that is just for the gear 2. the gear s is lack off app's and loads of watch faces, that must be what they meant by 1000 app. it's about 500 watch faces, no messaging app's. Bbm, what'sapp, face book and look how it's been out.

[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
remember that you are on the other side of the puddle, so theres a time difference. The reason you cant find it is because I never made one for firmware that old, you are using one of the first releases.

Just so happens that the latest C1 firmware for the UK was released yesterday, I will have it posted soon.

HI

I have a gear s which has sk telecom firmware on it. what I would like to know is ,would it be possible to flash it with the uk firmware without bricking it . thanks
[Samsung Gear S] richlee1980:
Anyone have any experience with this sdb I've flashed a rooted image as described in the guide and installed the drivers also to a laptop with win 8.1 everytime I connect the gears s and try the last step it says target device not found I've been stuck on this step for hours now and not sure what else to try

[Samsung Gear S] richlee1980:
Tried different ports I've flashed it with the r750xxu1boc1 firmware in the link on the rooting guide .....everything seems to be working as it should but I can't get the sdb to recognise my device windows finds my device it's all set up the drivers from th link r installed but it says

Error : can't locate device ......I'd like the ability to just drag and drop themes and clocks straight onto the watch but obviously this step is preventing that this is my

First attempt at a watch lol I've routed every other fone I've had (and I've had a few ;)) with

A lot less trouble .....and I no it's not the guide as it's the most complete I've ever seen lol pics and all

You may need to update the firmware on the watch

what version of software was on the watch originally? Country?

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

no risk of brick, UK firmware over SK telecom will work just fine, Im actually in the middle of the UK C1 and France C1 firmware right now (i took the weekend off....)

Yes it's defiantly on I'll reflash it later see if that helps but I defiantly haven't missed any steps
[Samsung Gear S] richlee1980:
Right I have reflashed and I'm finally sorted thanks for your guide its much appreciated just 1 last question before I dissapear back into the shadows.... am I tied to using watch styler to change my clock faces or have I missed something I have put my collection from gear faces on the watch but it doesn't see them I assumed it would find them on the watch and I could change from there :-/
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Im not 100% familiar with watch styler, I believe the faces are controlled by the phone.

NOOB alert

Hello, the guide was very very good, the best one i have ever seen in my early stages of rooting..

i am a noob when it comes to these sort of things and was wondering/hoping you could explain how do i add the scripts to the watch.

everything was explained in great detail but when it comes to the scripts there is very little detail, would you be able to help me out.

thanks in advance.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
the scripts are already in the watch, run the script from #9B and that will create the folders and the scripts from #10 are used after you drop content in the folders.
[Samsung Gear S] osvaldoalfidi:
excuse the stupidity from me, but how do i run the scripts?? as stated before im really new to all this rooting

I've tried holding the power button but it just returns to the same screen and it is still not recognized. Is there anything I can do to fix it? The model is SM-750A and its an AT&T model. Thanks.

[Samsung Gear S] prometheus67:
Help please? Screen no longer working (not b/c of root)

Followed the instructions here and had no problems. Back on 8 May, I applied root as described in this thread and have had no problems for 2+ months.

Now I have a problem that is not related to root. I went for a long run using the Nike+ app (yeah, it sucks, but at least it uploads your run data automatically) yesterday and all worked fine. Took off the watch and set it on my dresser . When I got out of the shower, there was no screen. Every once in a while I get a flicker, but it's basically dead.

So I was hoping to try to reset it to non-root status before sending it in for repair, just in case they can detect that, but I've not been able to do so. I can't seem to get in to "Download" mode in order to use Odin to flash a firmware (plus, I don't have the stock non-rooted firmware -- anyone?). I suspect I can't get in to download mode because I don't have "USB debugging" enabled. And I can't see the menus in order to get to that, either.

Any suggestions? Or should I just send it in for warranty repair and hope they don't notice?

In Kies3 it looks like it's fine:

Current firmware version : PDA: OB1 / PHONE: OB1 / CSC: OB1 (ATT)

I'm using "SM-R750A - R750AUCU1AOB1 - AT&T" that I got from post #2 in this thread.

One more thing, when I went to the Samsung site to check out service options, it was asking for model number and it wanted to know whether it was:

SM-R750AZKAATT

SM-R750AZWAATT

Anyone know which we have? I bought mine from an AT&T store without a contract.

Edit to add:

Doh! This is just the color specification:

SM-R750AZKAATT = black

SM-R750AZWAATT = white

It was probably too complicated for Samsung to just ask "Color" white or black.

End edit.

Thanks for reading and thanks for any insight.

To reiterate: there has been no problem with the root. I guess you could say "Root is not the root of this problem". :D

New (refurb) watch unit

Turns out I did not need to worry. When they received the watch they were unable to even turn it on. Just received my replacement today. Same watch band, same accessories, just new watch unit. Of course, I lost root. But thanks to cipherswitch, that's easy to fix!

I will also point out that the website for the repair service was terrible. I could never log in using the credentials they gave me. When I logged in to my Samsung account and viewed my Samsung devices, there was a link to view repair ticket status. But it brought me right back to the same page! Grrr... Then Samsung sent me an e-mail telling me they had shipped my watch back with a UPS tracking code (this was on Friday). The tracking code did not work all day on Friday. Nor did it work on Saturday. Nor on Sunday, though, I didn't expect it to at this point. And it didn't work on Monday, either! Then on Tuesday I got an e-mail from UPS telling me they had a package coming my way for delivery on Wednesday. Then I was able to use the tracking code.

Long story short: could not track repair while it was at Samsung; then could not track return delivery of device. Disappointing warranty service, but at least all is working again.

Gear S - GSM issue

I bought a Samsung Gear S in the US (Full unlocked) Model Number: SM-R750A, Software version: R750AUCU1AOB1. It works OK on everything except for GSM - I can't use it as a stand alone mobile phone in my country in Europe. I use two carriers one from Monaco (++377...) and one from Slovenia (++386...). I put my carrier SIM card on it (I tried both of them) but it has no connection. I checked and found that my Gear S works on GSM 850/1900 - which are used in the US (AT&T).

Gear S forensics

I am a computer forensics university student and I am currently creating a project on how to do data acquisition from the Samsung Gear S. I intend to be able to create a full image of the device so it can be analysed. So far the only way I can see this is to route the device and then use the SDB pull command to pull of files and directories. I've read the rooting thread and seen that I will have to flash the device to gain route access I'm assuming this would wipe any data that is previously stored on the device? any suggestions on how to preform data acquisition on the gear S that will allow me to gain all user data and meta data without the need to route it? any suggestions will be extremely useful.

Help with Region Lock - SM-R750W

Hi many thanks for this fantastic post. I was wondering if you can help me with my Gear S:

A. Your device model SM-R750W

B. Your software version R750WVLU1BOC1

C. Purchased in Dubai

D. No carrier lock

E. To be used in Italy

It is nicely working with mu Samsung S6 but if I try to put in an Italian or UAE SIM there is no chance to connect to the network. The display shows always the funny icon displayed when there is no connection to the phone network and I am going nuts!. I assume it is the region lock but looking on the internet it seems that I have a south American/Canadian version so I do not know how to unlock it now that I am in Italy.

Can I flash a different Firmware, for example the firmware posted here for Italy to solve the problem? Is there a way to flash a region lock free firmware?

Many many thanks!
