My question was if you have allready Software Revision 3 Firmware for your SM-R735V?..

...for use with netOdin?

oh, gotcha. My software version is R735VVRU2BPC7

No idea why, but I have no Stock Firmware for SM-R735V... none/nothing... :o

Only Combination Firmware...

well, i truly appreciate you looking my good sir! i hate that this watch is such a unicorn that its virtually impossible to recover it. And, of course, Samsung will never give up firmware directly from themselves.

Hello everyone,

I know it's an old thread but I've got a IPhone XR on ios 14.x.x and a Galaxy Gear s2 Sport 'FR model' under r720xxu2frc1 firmware.

It worked great until I choose to reset my watch ... now I can't paired my watch with my IPhone anymore, it seems it's a bug with Apple devices ...

The firmwares posted in the first post are quite old and not for EUR watches ... is there any newer firmware to try ?

Thanks !
[Samsung Gear S2] Ice86:
You will get OTA updates when you flash an old software.

Might take some time, but in the end you ll be on the latest available SW level.

I have unfortunately only SW for R-732 here

will downgrading my watch will help me with the reactivation lock?

[Samsung Gear S2] barnabs:
is the here app in this firmware ? If so, does it work with the iPhone ?

Did somebody try to update after downgrading to verify if upgrading still works ?
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
The here app is not in this firmware... In fact the only apps are s-health, timer, alarm, chronometer and configuration.

And I would also like to know if upgrading still works.

I have only Download without USB/Wirless options

I tried this method on my AT&T Gear S2 Sport 3G but getting stuck as i have only Continue, Download, Recovery and Reboot - no specific Download for Wireless and i do not get any network ID on the watch or IP etc. to connect my laptop to, anyone faced it ?
[Samsung Gear S2] Brewc:
I get the same screen as you step 5, the Gear screen doesn't look like the one in the picture. Mine is AT&T as well, and when I start netodin it does nothing.

Also, i,m not sure how to use net odin anyone have a good tutorial? I can find the ip of the watch by looking at whats connected to my router.

No help here, do we have to have developer tools or sdk? i'm very new to this.

I could not pair with the iPhone , did not understand , did everything correct and does not appear the gear S2 on the Iphone for pairing .

Are you sure? I just updated mine without problem. Try doing a factory reset, pair it with an android phone and try updating, maybe that will work.
[Samsung Gear S2] dazcoates:
I'm not sure if it's because mine was a retail demo unit that I was sold. Keeps saying it has been modified so unable to update.
[Samsung Gear S2] hary232:
Can anyone confirm that this firmware is able to be updated to latest version (CP5) ?

It has different model number. I suggest to return it

Update: Pulled the trigger, firmware only got updated to BOKK :(
[Samsung Gear S2] Code Breaker:
Item: Samsung Gear S2 Classic RM-732

For those of you that think this will clear the REACTIVATION LOCK, this will NOT clear it. I know because I tried it!

At first attempt it failed half way and my heart sank thinking I'd bricked it. Pulled out another faster laptop and did it again and this time it all completed, however the dreaded activation lock remained, therefore don't waste your time and risk your gear S2 classic.

Anyone have the file for this problem? I know it is available and it is dumped into Odin under 'AP' option and then transferred into gear S2 classic over wireless. I know guy who says he does it but he wants too much money for doing it, unfair.
[Samsung Gear S2] JazonX:
Do you have links for other/newer firmware for R732 ?
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
Mine also was updated only to BOKK. I spoke with a samsung assistant and she told me that this was the latest firmware available (despite of me telling her otherwise) so I finally re-downgraded the gear s2 to pair with the iphone and will use it this way until samsung says something about iphone compatibility...

i'm having problem connecting s2 with my computer (windows). S2 was connected with my windows compu for about 3-5 sec (showing IP etc), then my s2 gear showed connections timed out (110) failure to connect...

anybody help please, thx...
[Samsung Gear S2] Scotty1963:
Maybe the connection is blocked by your firewall. Within the Windows firewall (Windows 7) I set the connection to "home network". If you've got another firewall or if the problem is not solved, please try to deactivate all firewalls.
[Samsung Gear S2] gpawoko12:
Connections times out

Thx 4 the reply scoty, i did turned off all firewalls even windows defender, but the problems still existed, by the way i used win 10 not 7......should i downgrade my win to 7????

Thx
[Samsung Gear S2] Kanjata:
Type "firewall" on Search case, open it and disable it.

Start NetOdin and try again, if you succefull don't forget to go back about your firewall ;)

Why to downgrade W10 to W7 for only one thing? XD
[Samsung Gear S2] sharavan21:
Un-install any Anti-Virus or Anti-Malware software and try again

I had the same issue and I had ESET Smart Security Installed. I tried after un-installing and it worked fine :)

I did it two times with windows 10, so that shouldn't be a problem...

thx guys 4 the replies, i completely did turn off firewalls & antivirus, but still had problems "connections refused (111).....what did i do wrong???:confused
[Samsung Gear S2] rockfresh15:
so just to clarify, all those with s2 3g editions can only receive calls and no other notifications no matter what (so far)? I know calls work because of the eSIM but has anyone got any other notifications to work? at least even a text?
[Samsung Gear S2] ski21:
I haven't
[Samsung Gear S2] rockfresh15:
Thanks for confirming, so I've set a google alert for the terms "iOS gear manager", ubergizmo gave me a nice bit of hope today..

woops well, can't post links yet but if you google "ubergizmo iOS gear manager" it's the first result..anyone jailbroken and brave enough to track this down and side load it? I unfortunately have no jailbreak for now :(
[Samsung Gear S2] castorranger:
Hi rockfresh15,

this point is in the "Gears S2 and iPhone - remarks" thread, starting on page 22

http://xdaforums.com/gear-s2/general/gear-s2-iphone-remarks-t3259155/page22

You don't need an jailbreak for that, but you need to trust the Samsung App via settings. It's written in the posting, too.

Hi everyone,

I've just tried this downgrade and it worked. I can successfully pair it with my iphone 4s. But before downgrade you have to beware about loosing some features such as weather app, nfc connection, hrm measurement rate settings, This downgrade makes my watch so simple with iphone and not as fully functional that I used to have with my Galaxy A5 2016...
[Samsung Gear S2] ChooChu:
you need to use vm or parallels desktop and set up lan on vm to default then in windows you need to set up ip as the AP gave you on mac.

example if you got ip 192.168.49.20 then you need to set on windows on the same ip the it will found the s2 ip address

I just installed the firmware version linked in the first post. Now my Gear S2 works good with the iPhone 6.

I would like to know if I can install a newer version of Gear S2 firmware. If yes, where can I find the firmware package? I cannot upgrade the firmware from the watch because it can't find any firmware.

I googled a lot, but I didn't find any newer version.

im in download mode, ive switched to ap mode, connected to my watch via my wifi, but on the watch screen it says connection timed out, (110) failed to connect, and odin doesnt see wy watch gear s2 classic
[Samsung Gear S2] hlaube:
Had the same. When the PC tries to use the wifi of the watch to connect to internet, the timeout gets generated on the watch, since the watch is not able to route the request of the computer.

When the running Odin does not show the IP, another process is in between. Check if a firewll is on and switch it off. Not needed when not connected to the internet (do not forget to switch it on after you are done) . On my slow laptop the transfer got interuppted, because for one the virus scanner was running in the background, and for other cromium was running in the background. I switch at the end all processes off, I did not need. (Taskmanager is your friend here). After that connection went fast, Odin grabt the IP, transfer ran through.

As said, do not forget to switch the processes on agin before you take the PC onto the internet again.

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

Hi,

thanks for this info, it really works. However I couldn't find a way to upgrade it after downgrade to R732XXU2AOJ3.

There's no option in S2, and the Samsung Gear Manager installed on Android told me that the S2 is running the newest firmware..:crying:

Does anyone know how to upgrade the S2 with firmware R732XXU2AOJ3 to the newest, R720XXU2DPFB I supposed, or where I could download it ? I guess I could flash it with Odin to get S2 back to the newest firmware again.

[Samsung Gear S2] Marius B:
Hi ! I have the same problem like you. How did you solve ?
[Samsung Gear S2] cfieta:
Press and hold power button on gear s2 until you see gear s2 with blue rebooting, when you get screen with bootloader , using power button select wireless mode (when selected press and hold power button again). While you are in wireless mode, press twice home button (top one) this will change to AP mode ( access point). Now go to Wi-Fi on PC and connect to your gear.

Now you can run Odin wifi, it should automatically detect watch.
