Un-rooting?

Hi,

I recently purchased a used RM-R750A (AT&T Variant) that was already rooted. However, when I try to update the Gear S using my Note 5, it refuses, saying my software has been altered. My understanding is that there has been a recent (fairly) update that improves the compatibility with MM, and I would like to get that update since I will be updating my phone to MM. From what I can tell, the most recent firmware listed in this thread for my watch is from 2015, so:

1. Can anyone confirm that there is such an update for the AT&T variant? (I think it would have rolled out in May 2016)

2. If there is, is there anyway to update to that without losing root?

3. Or, is there anyway to un-root, so that the watch will update OTA via the Gear App on my phone?

4. Or, the rest of that aside, can anyone conform that the listed firmware (R750AUCU1AOB1) works well with MM, in which case, forget the rest of this.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Issues with installing ringtones/alerts after rooting Gear S

Hi there,

So I was able to get through the Rooting procedure with no issue because of the write up (kudos to you on being so thorough), but once all is said and done, I tried importing files (.mp3's, 128kb) into the ringtone folder and alerts folder. Once it had been transferred into the folder, I ran the update script you included, but I noticed in the run of the command line that there was a whole bunch of "file not found" errors, and something about SMACK64 that sped by too fast. The window then closed on me automatically, after which I rebooted the watch, and then attempted to select a new ringtone, but whenever I tapped "Ringtones" in the Settings App, it either booted me back to the top of the settings app or froze the ringtone selection button without showing me a list of sounds and I couldn't do anything. I tried then switching to .ogg files, thinking it might not like the .mp3 formats for some reason. I removed the .mp3's, ran the script just in case, rebooted, transferred the .ogg's, ran the script, rebooted, and then tried selecting the Ringtone section of the Settings app again: still same behavior.

Is there something that I'm missing in the steps? Or something about the file types? Or the way I'm synching them to the watch?

For my Gear S, I have the T-Mobile version. For my computer, I'm On OS X Yosemite, connecting to the Gear S through Windows 7 running on Parallels Virtual Machine. The root procedure seems to work flawlessly, and everything appears in terms of files and settings (during and after root). I just can't get the sounds to appear or even be accessed.

Let me know if anyone has any suggestions, thanks.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
how are the files named? also .oggs seem to be what works, I've hear some people successfully using mp3's but personally I've never had them work.
[Samsung Gear S] kazenade:
I cannot upload the firmware to my gear s via ODIN... it says unsupported_dev_type when i look closer on my watch..

is there any step that i missed?

FYI the firmware is the Indonesian version that you've just posted days ago [MENTION=2242705]cipherswitch[/MENTION]..
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
unsupported dev means wrong firmware, I've had 4 cases so far. 2 of which where purchased online from vendors in another country so the firmwares didnt match up (example being a user in canada that actually purchased the watch in argentina but tried to flash the canadian firmware and got "unsupported dev")

If you are referring to R750XXU1BNJC, that software goes to a handful of countries, just because it matches your version doesn't mean it will work if the countries of origin don't match.
[Samsung Gear S] kazenade:
So, should I reflash the firmware from sammobile to my gear s then flash your root file? Coz I really want to change my notification sound and mod my watch for the clock, etc.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
no, take a look at the list of countries and see which would match yours, if it was purchased online, let me know which site so we can narrow it down. Let me know which one matches so that I can modify the firmware file.
[Samsung Gear S] wo_ic3m4n:
Gear S rooted (I think)

Hey there!

I just "rooted" my Gear S with your method here and it seemed... (no errors and such) as though it worked just fine. I thought I had successfully rooted my watch. However................ I just bought an international SIM card, inserted it, and guess what??? I get prompted for a "network unlock code." What gives??? I thought the root would remove that.

First of all, I bought my phone from AT&T without a service plan, so the watch shouldn't be locked anyway right?!?! But that being said, did I root wrong? Does this root procedure remove the network SIM lock on the device or not? Give me the straight dope here. Thanks way, way in advance.

K.F.
[Samsung Gear S] kazenade:
Okay, I found that my gear s is made in vietnam (as seen on the box). So I guess it is vietnam based firmware? Anyway, happy new year for all of us here :)

[Samsung Gear S] kazenade:
Okay, i'm looking forward for the firmware :). Thanks a lot for your help btw.
[Samsung Gear S] Uniquebarbee:
The watch is locked to AT&T you have to request it unlocked if you are on AT&T its free for you if not then you can pay an unlock site . Root does not give region unlock (Not that I'm aware of for this Gear S) You can unlock it to use on T-mobile or it's extending carriers. The Gear S will work off piggy backed AT&T ( Net ten, and whatever else )
[Samsung Gear S] sbrownla:
When you ask AT&T, make sure you mention you paid full price and need a "subsidy" unlock.

[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
It reflects poorly on Verizon and the US that many countries in the world have available firmwear and their phones can be rooted.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Really now? I can assure that President Obama doesn't care what anyone does to their smart watch. The party to blame would be Verizon and Samsung, mostly Verizon. It's been like that for years for any provider that uses proprietary CDMA hardware. Its the exact same way when Google pushes a new version of Android, hands it off to Samsung so they can do their Touchwiz thing to it and then Samsung hands it off to the providers. Its up to the providers to decide when to push it to the users.

GSM hardware is always the first in line and considering the Gear S was announced in August 2014 and released in October with a totally new version of Tizen, I think we have made some pretty good progress. IMHO I think its completely ridiculous that there are so many different variations of the same watch, which just makes things harder but that's an issue for Samsung. Im sure the guys at SamMobile and several other providers where I get firmware from will catch up soon.

Be patient, it will happen, just not right now.

Awesome. Following your instructions I rooted my U.S. At&t Gear easily. This is my first rooted device and your instructions made it very simple. It took a few downloads of the root img to get one that would work and wasn't corrupt but it worked fine once that file downloaded properly. Thanks again for the great work.

[MENTION=2242705]cipherswitch[/MENTION] hi why don't you give me answer when i ask you a question ? i try to ask with courtesy and you don't answer me so i am a little disapointed ... i am so ugly ?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
OTA updates from Samsung will no longer work, thats the case with any rooted/flashed Samsung device ever since the whole knox and secure boot nonsense. I will keep this thread updated, when new firmware pops up it will be updated accordingly.

Regarding apps, I wouldn't expect Google maps to make landfall on Tizen anytime soon. Deleting stock apps is something I haven't even touched base on and it will most likely not be part of this thread, its something that will require its own thread as it gets confusing when several different subjects and instructions get rolled into one thread.

Honestly I haven't a clue about pictures in songs, I recommend you check over in the General section or Gear S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section as it may have been answered already.

I apologize for the delay, I'm participating in several threads as well as preparing some new ones. Sometimes things get overlooked especially when several other posts get thrown in front of it and the thread scrolls.
[Samsung Gear S] androidrouen:
No problem thanks a lot for responding :) nobody respond me in QandA about picture ... it is weird that's work for you, for me if i want the picture i need to use media go ...

anyway, do you have any idea where i can find the ''idapp'' needed for uninstalling app ? i use the web but found nothing ... ,

i want to uninstall meteo and information but i need the appid ? ( sdb uninstall <appid> )

Cannot Update Gear S or Download Apps After Rooting

Hi,

I rooted my Gear S this Saturday and all went well. However, today when I attempted to download an app for the Gear S it said "This device does not support Samsung Galaxy Apps. Check available devices on the Samsung Galaxy Apps website.(1004)". I then tried doing a software update and it said "Your Gear has been modified. Software updates are not available." Have any of you experienced this? Is there a way around it? If not I might return it to the store as I think its ridiculous that simply adding a ringtone requires a root which then Samsung punishes you for. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Are you using a non Samsung phone or non stock rom on your phone? As of right now, there are no software updates for the gear, but yes, Samsung punishes you for root. Same goes for the phone, you root and you will lost Over The Air updates for your phone and have to push everything manually. Also BIG yes, its ridiculous that you need root access for something that simple but thats pretty much the only choice and its only because its Tizen.... Android wouldnt have that issue, just saying.
[Samsung Gear S] Gilster85:
Thank you for the info. I have a Note 4. It's on Att so its stock since there is no root for it yet. What is weird is that this morning I can download apps on my Gear again. Maybe it was a one time fluke? Hopefully it does not happen again. I did not know OTA updates were disabled with root. I just switched from an iphone to android and apple is more than happy to provide OTA updates for jailbroken phones since it gets rid of the jailbreak. When there is an update for the gear where can I find the updated file to push it manually?

Is it possible to change the rom?

My gear is a SM-R750 R750XXU1BNJC - Indonesia*

I want to switch it to SM-R750 - R750XXU1BOA7_R750OXA1BOA7 - Germany

can I update it then trough the gear manager to get the latest tizen version 2.2.1.4?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
sorry, it doesnt work like that. You are still on older firmware and you would be trying to update and go to a different rom at the same time, assuming you dont get "dev unsopported" , it wont work. Is there a specific reason you want to change to the Germany firmware?
[Samsung Gear S] bro1337:
Sure there is.. I bought my gear s in Indonesia cuz it was very cheap only 240 euro in Germany I would have to pay round about 360 euro min.

The thing is I just want the new firmware so I can answer to my notifications... currently I ONLY can answer to sms...

trying to update my gear s with the gear manager it always say it's already the newest version.

Could it be cuz I am still in indonesia? Don't think so or?

Putting a stock German rom on it... isn't it then possible to update to a newer version?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
you contradict yourself there..

Where did you buy your Gear?

What firmware is currently on it?

Where are you?

What firmware do you want on it?
[Samsung Gear S] bro1337:
I bought it in Indonesia in a Samsung Store (glad indo and German has the same dual band freq.)

Firmware currently is R750XXU1BNJC

Currently in Jakarta

The newest.. German if possible... I want to answer on whatsapp or Facebook... don't wanna buy a third app for that...
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
ok so the R750XXU1BNJC modem applies to the NJ7 firmware, OA7 firmware upgrades the modem to R750XXU1BNL8. The modems match up, I say go for it. You will probably have to flash the entire German firmware package and then the root package.

Sammobile's servers have been sporatic and slow lately , so I uploaded the full German package on my end - download here

Download, unzip and flash in ODIN under the AP option.
[Samsung Gear S] bro1337:
Ok so I download ur rom and Run it with Odin and then? Just want to be sure the steps....
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
download the rom from the previous post, unzip it, place your watch in download mode and connect to the computer. Run odin, make sure your watch shows as "Added" on bottom left. Then select the AP option, navigate to the unzipped file, select it and then select start. Assuming it all goes through and you dont get "dev unsupported" on the watch screen , you can then flash the rooted german file like usual.
[Samsung Gear S] RoDaBu:
BIG THANKS!!!!!! It worked yeah ;)
[Samsung Gear S] pkerry12:
pretty sure Olleh G is KT Corporation and not SK telecom
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
You are correct sir, I stand corrected. My apologies.... luckily they are both in my queue for the latest OA7 firmware and should be posted sometime tomorrow.

anywho, the original member who asked (Tim Collins) actually got fed up with the watch since he was having performance issues with the GPS and Im pretty sure he posted it on eBay today.

[MENTION=2242705]cipherswitch[/MENTION] My man what are you working on? Can you provide some more details? Or is it too early to ask?
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
just been working on some themes, messing with the cpu clock and some permissions on the watch.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
If you can find a way to under clock the CPU it should definitely provide some boost for the battery duration.

Thank you sir.
[Samsung Gear S] Jacob11701:
I would love to be able to under clock it more than the built in power saver. Great battery potential as stated
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
the cpu is damn near standing still when the watch is on idle, underclocking would result in lag when the watch face turns on until it catches up (ask me how I know...) which can take several seconds and is a PITA. Im running now with the stock cpu clock, lollipop theme and playing with a new way to disable s-health and I have zero lag. I can leave the watch at 100% at night (which it usually is since its almost always plugged into my pc for debugging and stuff) , and maybe drop 2-3% overnight. What actually kills the battery is s-health. The pedometer, gyro sensor and heart beat sensor running all the time are big battery hogs. With all those off (except the gyro-meter, since you need that for turn on motion), the battery life is actually pretty good.
[Samsung Gear S] Jacob11701:
Would make sense to turn off those functions since I carry my phone with me in my pocket and it already tracks steps to a degree. Would need the watch to do it as well. I would however want to have the heart rate monitor available when I hit start but all other crap.... Yea sounds good.
