Hi friends, my samsung Galaxy Note 2 (GT-N7100), got soft bricked after an official software update. I tried to recover it by doing few processes that i found here on this forum, but none worked for me. Here is the list of procedures i did and their out come. please read them and lem me know what can i do further.

1. Tried to factory reset and clear cache partition and reboot: when i entered the android official recovery (Android system recovery<3e>, KOT49H.N7100XXUFNL1) it shows

E: failed to mount/cache (no such file or directory)

E: Can't mount/cache /last_recovery

E: failed to mount/data (no such file or directory)

E: Can't mount/data /log/recovery _log.txt

E: Can't mount/cache /last_install

etc.... in red scrolling and finallly shows rebbo system /wipe data/factory reset options , even after doing factory reset and or wiping cache partition it still unable to bootup, struck at samsung logo screen.

2. Tried to install custom recovery TWRP.. failed to install, i tried different versions of TWRP specified for my phone , and also with different versions of odin.. still unable to install

3. Tried to flash official rom downloaded from sammobile, via odin, but this also failed.

4. tried to root by CF-Autoroot through odin. but failed again.

Note: My phone was on official ROM and recovery when it was bricked, and was never touched to root or flash anything into it before. and i never activated developer options in my phone and the USB debugging mode is also never activated.

please suggest me how to trouble shoot this now. I am not a techie, i just learned above procedures from forums like this, so please try to give me detailed step by step procedures. thanks.

Greetings and welcome to assist. It sounds like you need to flash a pit file. The easiest way to recover your device is use kies/smart switch emergency firmware recovery. Unfortunately this will wipe all your data but should fix the phone

Good Luck

Hi,

After I've reset my Gear S3 I've noticed that my paid watch faces are gone. Is there any way to restore them?

Thank you.
[Samsung Gear S3] lacmac:
You could try this:

On your phone, open galaxy apps, click top right and choose settings. Then choose receipt. It will show you all the paid apps and watchfaces you have purchased.

I'm not sure if you can install them again from there. But at least you have proof of purchase if you need to get in touch with the seller of the apps and watchfaces.
[Samsung Gear S3] bendez1985:
Instead of settings, you have to go into My Apps, and you'll see all the watch faces that you have bought. And yes you can install them again.
[Samsung Gear S3] Logregg:
On your phone, open Galaxy Apps icon, click top right and choose My apps. Then choose All. Choose Gear column. It will show you all the paid apps and watch faces you have purchased & allow you to reinstall any of them.
[Samsung Gear S3] Royalmaxey@gmail.com:
Go to the Gear App on your phone and choose Apps from the menu. Then choose the three dots in the upper right hand corner and then choose Download History. All of your purchased apps will be listed for you to restore.
[Samsung Gear S3] edwardob:
I changed phone to note 8....and receipts and apps from previous phone are no longer to be found anywhere on gear app

any clue?
[Samsung Gear S3] SG2:
Gear app > Gear > 3 dots at top > My apps > All > Select what you want downloaded. I, too, am using a Note8.
[Samsung Gear S3] edwardob:
as I said they are not there?
[Samsung Gear S3] bodzio0:
any luck? I have the same problem.
[Samsung Gear S3] edwardob:
funny they turned up again without any effort... now I've gone holiday to India and they've disappeared again...?
[Samsung Gear S3] amincom:
Same case happened with my gear S3,all purchased watch faces in KSA disappeared with watch reset in Egypt and restored only apps purchased in Egypt.
[Samsung Gear S3] aj_vogtman:
samsung account

I've had some of this with every Gear watch. As long as you are logged into your Samsung account you won't have to pay again. You just need to know the app you want which I always do. Once I click on it, the price goes away and it is clear I am not being charged.

When you are charged you get messages like "are you sure you want to buy?" You then get confirmation emails on the purchase. You also have a testing time period to request a refund.
[Samsung Gear S3] amincom:
Already know purchase rules and logged in with related samsung account but purchased items disappeared from purchased items history after change phone & reset watch.
[Samsung Gear S3] CamanoGreg:
Restoring apps & watch faces

In Galaxy Gear, tap Settings tab, select Apps, tap the 3 vertical dots on top right corner, select Download history, select the Gear tab, all previously purchased apps and watch faces will be listed, select the down arrow to the right of the item to reinstall on your Gear watch.
[Samsung Gear S3] amincom:
Of course we already did that but our purchased items not show,so we complain.

[Samsung Gear S3] pepitomatt:
Change your sim card

Have you try changing the sim card to other country rather than using the local sim that you have been using right now. after that you can open the galaxy apps and update the application, sort of like that. Hope this help.
[Samsung Gear S3] lacmac:
I had the same issues for the last week with my Huawei mate 10.

I contacted Samsung support many times and they kept saying the same thing about checking the galaxy app, which as was said before, its the first thing we do. I then posted my problem on Samsung community site and was told to try to contact Samsung pay in your own country.

Although they said they couldn't help as I used PayPal they did said others are having similar issues with the latest update.

I then went to reply on the Samsung community site but for some reason my password was not recognised so I had to reset it. After that I sent the reply and of course I had to log in again with my new password in gear manager, now all my paid apps and watch faces are back.

They must have done something!
[Samsung Gear S3] GodsGift:
Cheers guys ... I'm late to the party just got an S3 classic and this just saved me. Had to reset to fix the samsung pay bug and lost face(s) !!

All sorted now though.

Updated Solution 2019

Samsung Wearable > Scroll down up to Galaxy Store > Select the three dots > My Page > ALL

and start now to re-download your watch faces. You're welcome! :)

[Samsung Gear S3] dcvito:
I realize that this is an old thread but I just swapped phones and upon restoring all of my watchfaces are gone (both free and paid). The backup was taken right before switching phones, and I have checked under My Page > All in the Galaxy Store (Oddly enough some apps are missing from there as well). Has anyone seen any other solutions to this issue?
[Samsung Gear S3] dersie:
If you use same Samsung Account you have all your previous faces (paid and free) in the "All" section on the Watch store on Any phone Any brand Any OS (but not Any country ;) ). Backup can restore automatically but even without backup all the faces (apps) stay on your watch store linked to your original account.
[Samsung Gear S3] dcvito:
As i said, that's where I checked. They aren't there.
[Samsung Gear S3] dersie:
So it mean that you have not set the same SAMSUNG ACCOUNT that used previously for the paid faces ;)
[Samsung Gear S3] dcvito:
I did use the same account, I only have 1 Samsung account and the watch's reactivation lock was set to it. So I know I'm using the right account.
[Samsung Gear S3] NotePlusUser:
I experienced the same issue when I switched to a newer phone. I can't find my old watch faces.

[MENTION=5180911]dcvito[/MENTION], you find out how to recover them?
[Samsung Gear S3] Diz1975:
I've had the same problem but compounded by the fact that I have a non-Samsung phone (never got on with them, Bixby, etc).* I haven't seen this specific answer yet so I'm sharing for non-samsung phone users.

I moved from a Pixel 2 to a Huawei phone, to resync and pair my Frontier S3 to the new phone I performed a reset and lost my paid for watch faces.

Finding them was not easy as the galaxy store apps aren't available (I think) but here is what worked for me.

pair your watch & phone

install the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone

click on Discover on the bottom of the app (if you're not already on the right screen)

on top watch faces, click on view more

this appears to load up another app

then* click on the options (three lines) in the top right of the new app

some options will appear, watch faces, chart, apps, my apps, settings

click on my apps

then from the next screen click on All

Scroll through until you find your purchased watch face which should have a "purchased MM/DD/YYY" by it*

click on the download icon adjacent to it.

then follow any further prompts; this will download and install on your phone

I haven't found a simpler way to do this when on my non-samsung android phone.
[Samsung Gear S3] deftoner:
Update 2023! haha

Open Galaxy Wearable

From Bottom tab "Home" select "Apps"

Scroll down, "Manage apps"

Top right corner select the 3 Points and "Download history."

Thanks everybody for the help
[Samsung Gear S3] KsKisser:
That did it for me! Thank you for posting!
[Samsung Gear S3] numbfall:
They are not in the list!

I know that previously purchased apps should be in the download history or the "my apps" list. But for me they are not. All my previous watch faces are gone. Even the free ones are not in the list or even the galaxy apps.

for example, i was using "urban classic" before. now after resetting the watch its neither in the "my apps" list nor the galaxy apps. i cannot find that watch face anywhere.

If i use a pc and browse the galaxy apps. i can see it in the store. but no way to redownload it on my watch again. all my previously downloaded apps and watch faces from galaxy apps have simply vanished.
[Samsung Gear S3] numbfall:
OMG! that worked. What nonesense is this? I just changed my active sim from the two sim slots on my phone and now I can all my previous apps in galaxy apps.

Hello,

I've reinstalled my original Shield with full 4.3 then applied the 4.4 OTA (after flashing TWRP 3.0.2)

After I applied SuperSu 2.79.

Then some problem appeared:

some apk (side-load) failed to install: the logcat is reporting a failure about 'vold' not being able to create the secure container. Before rooting the same app was installing perfectly, creating the .asec file on the external SD card.

One such application is for instance is 'Darkness and flame'

Could someone confirm/infirm ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datuknanmudo:
Hi,

I had the SM-910F / DS and was root SuperSU through TWRP and succeed, resrtart and shutdown device is normal, the applications also work, but only because every boot or reboot the device, the boot screen it says "set warranty kernel", I stock reinstall the firmware of the device.

There may be other explanations, including input for solving the issue above, because of the stage of the process root, the word 'set warranty kernel' appears in the process reboot after the install SuperSU and I read that the latest version is not compatible SuperSU SM-910F.

Because, after all, I still want to root against my device, by means of different tools and applications including through TRWP with SuperSU again, CF-Auto-Root, so for that, I request SuperSU and CF-Auto-Root compatible for SM-910F / DS.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foongaz:
Hi folks,

since a couple of days I'm on GT-i9505, Resurrection Remix 6.0.1 latest build, TWRP 3.0.2.0.

I have 2 problems:

1 - Playback issue: Videos stored in the phone and also in streaming (Insta, Youtube) are playbackin in slow motion and without sound most of the times. I had this issue also the last month as I was using Wanamlite 2.8 4.4.2 Rom. They appeared without reason (maybe beacuse I updated TWRP, dunno....). After flashing the latest modem and bootlooper (5.1) the issue disappeared from wanamlite but I didnt test it for long cause I flashed RR after...

Anyway I looked in the developer menu where they say to use awesomeplayer instead of nuplayer.... problem is, I can't find this voice in the developer menu!!! Under media I just have the USB something voice and nothing more. Is this because RR uses just NUplayer?

Someone has a solution for this? Is there any workaround?

2 - Randomly Shut off: it clears itself. Yesterday I was sending a video per whatsapp on 3g carrier. The phone crashed like 5 times.... a bit uploading and then ADIOS....

Again, is there a reason for this? Any ideas?

Thanx in advance for the help.

[Other SmartWatches] M3ntoR:
Hello everyone.

I'm pretty curious what is your opinion on the best pick. I'm planning to buy my first true smartwatch (I've had u8 for a while) and I'm not 100% sure what to choose. I'm really interested in d5 but I'm not sure if it isn't better to go for something that has official Android wear on board. What You guys think? Are there any flaws of Chinese, Android running smartwatches compared to original Android wear? I'm also keeping in mind the price. I don't want to spend more than 100$ for it.

Wysłane z mojego ONEPLUS A3003 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Other SmartWatches] froggerman:
If you only want to spend 100$ for a new smartwatch then you shouldn't be looking for android wear smartwatches. And yes, the chinese brands have there flaws. Battery life is one of them and you got almost no support from the manufacturer if something goes wrong. (But the internet community that can help with some of these smartwatch problems is growing).

So buy a chinese smartwatch, have fun playing with it (you can really install almost any android app that you can find on the playstore). If you only buy a smartwatch to go running or working out, or just for certrain occasions then it'll be fine. But if you are planning to use it for phonecalls and messaging thru out the day, by noon you are going to be disappointed when it shuts down because it is out of battery power.

These "full" android chinese smartwatches are also very bad at tethering with you smartphone. Android wear does a much better job doing this.

I like the full android type of watch but can't live with the poor battery life. So as i said before. The perfect smartwatch isn't out there yet for me.
[Other SmartWatches] M3ntoR:
Are for example no.1 d5 so bad when it comes about battery ?
[Other SmartWatches] GeminiPete:
Actually if you don't mind square Wear watches, the ZenWatch 2 was $129 new (be sure to only get the larger model if you want a speaker, the smaller of the two sizes the ZenWatch 2 cones in has no speaker like many Wear watches). There are great deals to be had now, but the cheapest round one that's full featured would be ZenWatch 3 for $229. The best IMO is the Huawei, but it's still pricey. Still if you shop around, you can find deals now and then.

When Wear 2.0 comes out it will significantly improve standalone capability for the Wear models that can upgrade to it, while also featuring the excellent integration with your Android phone for notifications and such.
[Other SmartWatches] M3ntoR:
thanks for all answers guys! I think now I want to choose between SONY Smartwatch 3 and no.1 d5

Are there gonna be an update to Wear 2.0 for sony SW3 ?

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulquer:
I have one more issue.

Finger print hardware not available?

Is this also because of unlocked bootloader??
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
Nope, that's because you have the US version of the Z5 dual and it has been specifically disabled. If you want to get the fingerprint sensor working you need to flash international firmware, or there are some threads that tell you what files you need to replace. Search and you should find what you're looking for.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulquer:
When i reboot it works fine.But it comes once in a while.Also i have the stock fm (Middle East).
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
Then you should be fine. It might not be working occasionally because there might be a bug in the firmware you're using. My only suggestion would be to make sure you're on the latest version of the firmware for your region, or try flashing firmware from another region. I'm using Customized UK firmware and I have no issues with the fingerprint sensor. Short of that the only other option would be a hardware failure, but it sounds more like a software bug.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulquer:
I will try flashing another firmware.Its showing new sofware available in support?.But not showing when opening it under softwate updates.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
Can you post a screenshot of your About Phone screen so I can see your build number?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulquer:
Attached.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
It looks like you're a couple firmware versions behind; the latest firmware released for your phone is 32.2.A.5.11. Since you mentioned that your phone won't automatically update itself through the software update it sounds like you may have modified your phone in such a way (i.e., unlocking the bootloader, or modifying system files) that you might have to manually flash the firmware to your phone. There is a program called Flashtool that you can use to download and flash firmware to your phone. It's a great tool and something that you can learn to use after a few minutes of reading in the support thread.

If you've made any modifications to your phone, it would be helpful to know what those are understand why your phone won't update on its own. But most likely you'll have to use Flashtool to update your phone.

EDIT: In the future if you want to see what the latest version of firmware is for your phone you can use the XperiCheck website.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dulquer:
Thanks a lot mate.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
Did you write all your data when you flashed the new firmware with Flashtool? Maybe try flashing again, but make sure you wipe everything so you're starting with a clean phone. Set up the phone and make sure everything works, then flash a custom kernel.
