Stuck in a boot loop after flashing ND8. Maybe I have the wrong version of it.

---------- Post added at 06:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

Can you point me to where you downloaded the proper firmware to get back to BND8? I keep getting stuck in boot loops too.
[Samsung Gear Fit] gokartracer5:
Never mind. Found it. Got it working.
[Samsung Gear Fit] DeathBySnuggles:
Was just coming to link you. I googled it and found it in someone's dropbox!
[Samsung Gear Fit] echo top:
That's where I found it too! I've been using XDA forever but never signed up to post on the forums until now, so I was not allowed to post a link to the dropbox (since I am a newbie under 10 posts).
[MENTION=313719]DeathBySnuggles[/MENTION] could you put a link to the dropbox download? I still cant... I think it would help others find it quickly.
[Samsung Gear Fit] ActorMike:
Has anyone seen the ridiculous responses from Samsung support in the Galaxy Apps Reviews for Gear Fit Manager? Generic responses that don't work. They always like to blame your problems on the devices being rooted as well! Downgrading the firmware on the Watch via ODIN and then running the Gear Fit Manager 1.17 worked for me as well. I just updated my Galaxy S4 to Stock Rooted Lollipop 5.01 and when the watch didn't work with it either I knew it must be a firmware/software issue isolated to the watch. Glad I checked this forum again and found this solution. No more upgrade nag messages! That in itself is ridiculous. Nobody should be forced into updating software unless it's for some sort of API or PCI compliance etc.
[Samsung Gear Fit] lucky116474:
Well, Hello.

I'm stuck in the "Failed to connect to Manager" part, I already made a full flash of FW r350xxu0bnd8, install all kinds of Gear Fit Manager, and still can't even access menu information on the Fit.:confused::confused::confused:

I'm using S4 mini and s5 mini.
[Samsung Gear Fit] echo top:
First delete any and all gear fit managers from your phone. Second, flash the xxxBND8 firmware to the gear fit using Odin on your computer (the entire firmware, including the AP, BL, and CSC at the same time). You can find the xxxBND8 firmware by googling r350xxu0bnd8 (we found it on someone's dropbox, I wish I could post the link for you). When that is complete, then install a fresh copy of gear fit manager 1.117.xxxx on your phone (I recommend just using the galaxy apps application). Once you have a fresh copy of gear fit manager 1.117.xxxx, then try to connect to the gear fit using the gear fit manager. The first time it tries to connect it will ask to upgrade the firmware on the gear fit through the manager (not through Odin). Click 'allow' to start the upgrade process. It might seem at some points like the update process has frozen, but it's just slow and will finish in approximately 5 minutes. Once the gear fit has been upgraded to the proper xxxxBNE5 firmware, I think the gear fit restarts. After it restarts or whatever, it should ask you to connect on the gear fit. Then try to connect to it using gear fit manager 1.117.xxx and it should connect without a problem. If you have more questions, read this entire thread first (not that long at this point, probably only 2 pages). If it's STILL not working, let me know I'll try to help you through this. I know how frustrating this can be...
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
but mine not connecting to gear fit. still showing failed to connect .m using s6 lollipop 5.02
[Samsung Gear Fit] echo top:
The point is to forcefully and completely install an older firmware through Odin that the new gear fit manager will recognize and update (through the manager). Once the firmware is updated, the connection works. I have not had any experiences with the new S6 yet though... so there may be bugs yet to be fixed even with the correct firmware.

I know you said it wasn't connecting but give me more information. Are you following ALL the instructions on this entire thread? Is it updating through gear fit manager or not updating the firmware? Help me help you!
[Samsung Gear Fit] becca0327:
I've went though the steps of booting my fit into download mode, it shows odin in the top left corner in red, says Downloading....Do not turn off target!! With a line underneath with the tiniest orange dot at the far left. In Odin I selected the BL, AP and CSC tar files that have been posted. Odin says NAND Write Start!! But has been this way for almost an hour now. Is it stuck? Or am I just being impatient? If it is stuck, where do I go from here?
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
i downgrade gear fit to xxxxbnd8 using odin. GFM version is 1.49. it connect but not syncing. when i try to make call or recieve any call GFM crashs.
[Samsung Gear Fit] echo top:
It may be stuck. Sometimes it happens. Should take no longer than a couple seconds per file to upload to the gear fit. Minutes at the most. Can you cancel it from Odin? If not you may have to disconnect.

I disconnected my gear fit when it froze on an Odin download before. It's risky. When I did the fit showed an error screen that the firmware had not installed properly. Tried to redo it on Odin but it wouldn't work. I downloaded the Kies program from the Samsung website, under the options there's an emergency recovery mode. It may not automatically detect the fit so manually search for the device using the model or serial number which is on the back of the fit. After a bit the fit will reset, you can enter into download mode again and retry flashing using Odin.

Your Odin may have just froze, your computer may have hindered it (with antivirus or other reasons) or it could have been the firmware you tried to upload. Keep that in mind!
[Samsung Gear Fit] becca0327:
http://www.4shared.com/rar/Ja7KeXEjce/R350XXU0BND8.html this is the link I found here on XDA in another post that I used to get the tar files. I tried again and same results. Do you happen to have the link of the files you used?
[Samsung Gear Fit] echo top:
Upgrade your gear fit manager to the most current 1.117.xxxx to connect it. bnd8 is the old firmware that has been replaced by bne5 (most current as of this post). The update to the new gear fit manager should prompt an upgrade to the firmware on it's own.
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
just upgraded to xxxbne5. but it does not connect with GFM 1.17.
[Samsung Gear Fit] DeathBySnuggles:
You need to flash bnd8 and connect it to 117. Then it will do an automatic upgrade to ne5. That's the only way we've gotten it to work.
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
i did everything. but failed to connect with GFM 1.17
[Samsung Gear Fit] echo top:
Becca I looked for the dropbox file I used a while ago but didn't find it. I can look more extensively in a bit when I'm on a computer and not my phone lol. If I don't find it, worst comes to worst I have the file saved and will get it to you somehow.

Djraim it's possible this fix doesn't work on the S6, or there's another bug that I am unaware of with that model. I don't know why the S6 would be any different though. I don't have a S6 to play with! I'm half suspecting that the 3 files you're using are the same as Becca, which isn't working. Like I said, come Monday when I'm at a computer I can see about publicly uploading the file. I'm out of state at the moment.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

Question though, what country are your phones for? Are they rooted and running non stock kernels and/or ROMs? Just wondering...
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
its uk version and on stock rom lollipop 5.02

---------- Post added at 06:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

i flash gearfit using 3 files and didnt ask for any firmware update when connect to GFM 1.49. failed to connext with 1.17
[Samsung Gear Fit] echo top:
It should ask to update the firmware when you try to connect to v.1.117.xxxx for the first time. Try uninstalling gear fit manager. Then go to settings > more > applications manager > all > Bluetooth (might be Bluetooth share). Select clear data and clear cache. Note this will erase your phones Bluetooth memory so all your previously connected devices will have to be paired again. Then install a fresh copy of gear manager v.1.117.xxxx from the galaxy apps application. When you start the program for the first time and try to connect see if the prompt to update your gear fit appears. Of course this is all assuming you have bnd8 already installed on your device.

Let me know what happens.
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
but i cant connect with GFM 1.17 . ITS SHOWING failed to connect. i did as u say

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

gear fit saying " failed to connect and try to connect with GFM"
[Samsung Gear Fit] echo top:
And it has not prompted to update your gear fits firmware? Because that's the ticket! Maybe just wait until I upload the software I used, that will be Monday. In the mean time try different versions of older firmwares and see what you can do. The challenge is to have your gear fit manager update the firmware on your device.
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
anybdy got GFM 1.16 ???

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

if gearfit connect to GFM 1.17 itay ask for update but unable to connect with 1.17
[Samsung Gear Fit] lucky116474:
Thanks, I did a downgrade using the firmware downloaded from here "List of original firmware" from right here in the forum, then I wiped cache and everything, installed GFM 1.117.xxx, then when I try to connect for the first time, check the pairing password and it ends up showing "Failed to connect your gear fit, try using the gear fit manager"

Well, after wasting all my day trying to make this work, i upgraded to R350XXU0BNG2 using CSC, and installed a GFM 1.98.xxxxx, it works flawlessly, without any prompt to update fw nor app. I'll wait until you upload the fw you used and try again to see what happens.

Thanks anyway :good::)
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
mine working gud with 1.98 but it crashes when reveived or make a call and its not syncing with s health
[Samsung Gear Fit] lucky116474:
Mine syncs, the app connect works, too! I'm using a S4 mini, stock 4.4.2 ROM, rooted using CF Auto root, with no custom recovery installed, from Telcel MX, and a GF bought in BestBuy last christmas.

Got it working on a S5 mini, today morning.

What are your specs???
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
m using s6 uk . stock lolllipop 5.02.
[Samsung Gear Fit] lucky116474:
Have you tried using the GFM Patched for Lollipop?
[Samsung Gear Fit] djraim:
yh i m using that patched version
[Samsung Gear Fit] echo top:
As promised!!!

Wait wait wait, tell me you're not trying to connect with the "downgrade then update" method using a patched version instead of the regular v.1.117.xxxx! Doubt it will work. Just use the official version.

[MENTION=6661190]echo top[/MENTION]: Awesome job with this thread. Thanks for following up and posting the file.

I was able to update using your procedure, but I have a few tips. If you are having trouble getting to the bootloader, hold power for 8 seconds until Fit reboots. It will vibrate twice while booting. After the first vibrate, release power and press it 5x, but you don't have to press it super fast. I put the Fit into bootloader mode before I connected it to the computer and it failed to work on 3 different computers. When I put it into bootloader while connected to the last computer, it worked. Once flashed, it connected to GFM and did the update through there.

For a long time trying to install the latest version of GFM (Note 3 Neo Andorid 4.3).

Latest steps that I did and then it worked:

1. Complete removal of GFM and installing the latest version from Galaxy Store.

2. Deleting data Bluetooth

3. Defrost application GearFitInstaller.

4. Installation of the firmware - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60806345&postcount=43

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khalid Ali:
Hi All,

I dropped my Samsung s5 (rooted) phone in water.

Before it went submerged(not more than couple of seconds) it hit the side of the sink.

I quickly took it out and looked for visible signs of broken screen or any other part. But there were no new marks, I wiped it clean, turned it off, took the battery out and looked for any water, but nowhere I could see any water inside or outside.

I then turned on the phone, It turned on all the way to homes screen , I entered pin and could view regular home tab, then I think after few seconds, screen went black. I turned it off and tried it on again but it never came back. Once in between in all of my attempts of turn off and restart, it showed battery and yellow triangle on top of battery sign.

I have tried to search and it seems like lots of people ended up with similar symptoms in their phone, but none of the solutions suggested have worked for me.

What I have tried is:

1. Leave phone submerged in a pot of uncooked rice for couple of nights

2. Take out battery and press power button for x number of seconds (starting from 10 to onwards of 2 minutes)

3. leave batter out and then try to restart (again time was variable from few minutes to several hours)

4. Soft hit on power button,

5. I might have overlooked writing a solution here but I wonder if there is any that was suggested that I have not tried.

Initially when this happened, I connected it to charging cable and red light would start blinking(where as it should stay solid red while being charged).

Anyways, now phone screen is dark. I can use adb shell to view the content on the phone which means OS is till intact and I am 100% sure that phone is working as intended. As the notification lights blink when I get an email if phone is on etc.

Its an expansive phone and hope some one can shed light on how to revive the dead screen?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Commodore 64:
Sorry to hear that! It really sucks. Was the charging port loose or opened when dropped in the sink?

I know the blinking red light, instead of the solid red light, when charger is connected indicates a problem with charging. This can be caused when there is little water in or around the charging board or the motherboard and charger is connected.

If you don't see any signs of water damage (pink/red indicators instead of white), i'd say back up all your files and everything else through ADB, wipe the phone clean, in case you find somewhere to service or in case it gets worse and you can't access your files any more.

Chat with a Samsung rep online too, and see what your options are. Sometimes they repair it for ~$70, off warranty, and with that they might even swap the motherboard and other pieces too if needed and you only paid 70 or whatever they offer.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khalid Ali:
Thanks for reply, now charging port was shut...and after couple of days now charging happens ok, I have a solid green light when I connect charger.

So I am guessing you are thinking that either screen is gone or something else and therefore no possible way to fix this?

Office one note

Hi ! What are you looking for?

I have XP and office 2007 with onenote. Onenot by default identify the WMS5/6 and will pormpt you if you want to install on the device.

So yes it can run independent of XP since it is running on WM5/6. but you would need to install it once via XP, I do not know about Vista.

I am not sure if I answered your question.

Let it charge overnight and got full charge in to this morning. Current stats attached.

If it starts acting up again ill do the factory reset.

I have an LG G3 that I just flashed back to stock after being rooted, updating and then flashing back to stock. I have an issue where the Misc files after the 10C flash are about 7GB, 6 of that system files but they are only visible in the phone storage area not the LP PC suite. Is this normal or is this a problem/abnormal?

Another issue I have is with the Kitkat update itself(and possible solution). I keep getting the android.process.acore error when I link certain accounts, after 7 factory resets I was getting quite tired so I decided to take matters into my own hands and created another Gmail account to use, one with no contacts linked to it(used mycontactsbackup app to back my contacts up and emailed them to myself). I then proceeded to add all my accounts after unchecking the sync contacts then imported my contacts and did not receive the error even with a Facebook account synced(the biggest offender I hear). I do not know if I got **** lucky or this actually worked but can anyone else tell me if there is an easier workaround for this issue?
