[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
I have now time to do more stupid things...

Plans for today...

Manage ROOT access at all costs...:D

Base Firmware for my experiments still these 2 packages:

R732XXU2AOJ3

AP_R732XXU2AOJ3_usr.tar.md5
BL_R732XXU2AOJ3_usr.tar.md5
CSC_R732OXX2AOJ3_usr.tar.md5

This Firmware is my Livesafer... :good:

I will prevent "funny" Security Sideeffects with Flashing newer Firmware Packs...

Combination Firmware

[COLOR="Red"][B]COMBINATION-FTMA_R732XXXU2AOI8.tar.md5[/B][/COLOR]

Okidoki, this Firmware is DANGEROUS, because it has killed my SM-R732... BUT it is the only known Package with ROOT inside...

So if all my own attempts will fail...

Maybe I can find way to use this Combination Firmware OR parts of it...

Step 1.

Inject su Binary into rootfs.img from R732XXU2AOJ3

su file is taken from Combination Pack...

/bin/su

To modify rootfs.img I am using my rooted SM-Z130H...

Step 2.

Create valid TAR with only modified rootfs.img... no other files inside TAR...

Flash attempt with Odin... ---> with USB Cable...

Need few "minutes"... will post result.

If this in first attempt not work...

Then next attempt:

Step 3.

Create TAR "AP_R732XXU2AOJ3_usr.tar.md5" with modifed rootfs.img... and flash all 3 packs with Odin...

Okidoki, lets start...

Result later...

Flashing reach 100 %...

But on my SM-R732 Screen I can see in green letter:

[COLOR="DarkGreen"][B]Custom Binary (ROOTFS) Blocked By R/L[/B][/COLOR]

Aha...

R/L means I think Reactivation Lock...

Okidoki... lets "fight" against Security...

Plan B.

Damn, so my chance(s) are only with Combination file... I have only yet:

COMBINATION-FTMA_R732XXXU2AOI8.tar.md5

I will try few things... maybe I am able to run it...

Otherwise Plan C...

Need newer Combination file... :D :o

So I must begging again, as these files are not really often free available...

-------------

I am too lazy to make Photo from Screen for now...

I have too hold Power button to leave...

After Reboot I can see this Kies message screen thingie...

Encounter issue, try again blabla...

So I need some time to prepare Combination file... for next Flash attempt... :D :rolleyes:

Best Regards

It is not adult stufff... it is for "Live Demo Unit"... SM-R732X

In other words...

I have NO valid combination Firmware for my SM-R732... :o

I hope somebody could help me please.

Thanx in advance.
