[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PPStar:
I'm not able to use MIUI anymore because of the inability to enter my mi account's password.

So a month ago, I created a new mi account by using my phone number cuz i was not able to unlock my bootloader officially. I then did a factory reset but now whenever i start my phone, it asks for Mi account verification password... So even when i enter the password, it shows incorrect password and i cant get past this part so I'm stuck at this startup screen and cant use my phone at all. I even tried resetting my account password but it says "You've exceeded the number of verification attempts allowed within 24 hours." even after waiting for 24 hours before another attempt. It still shows the same error after a month. I think the reason is not verifying the new number after creating mi account.

I would like to add that I've tried contacting Xiaomi customer service quite a few times but they were of no use so I flashed an early MIUI firmware and i was able to access my phone but it was showing no IMEI number so I unofficially unlocked my bootloader and installed CM13. I'm now on LOS14.1 but wanna switch back to MIUI cuz of camera quality. So is there any way that I can use MIUI ever again?

Please help
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] theoneofgod:
Try this. Take out your SIM card and don't enable WiFi at the setup screen. It should bypass the account login page.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PPStar:
I tried that as well but it seems that this mi account thing registers itself with the IMEI number so no matter what I do, it asks for the password in the startup.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] theoneofgod:
I really don't know how Xiaomi expect you to login through their system without any SIM/data or WiFi connection.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PPStar:
Me neither but there's nothing I can do about it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] blitzpeace:
What version of miui did you install? I have the exact problem and my phone

just sits on my desk since 1 month.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PPStar:
7.1.8.0
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] XN Logos:
Don't worry Follow this Guide, i personally test it,

From Here
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] PPStar:
Thanks. I'll give it a try. Don't have Wi-Fi right now so I'll have to wait for few days I guess.

One question though: After flashing with the oldest firmware, I lose IMEI so do I need to update through Wi-Fi and then create a new mi account?

Do you think will this method also fix the FC in the Galaxy S7 ported camera app on non-samsund ROMs/devices?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sEsE123:
Thank you very much for your work on this, I was looking for this for almost a month. :)

I can confirm its working on Xiamoi MI 4S with xiaomi.eu ROM (8.1.3)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Quinny899:
Depends what the force close is, do you have a logcat?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kikill3r:
I can make one :)

I'll flash the app and report back

If you manage to do this, the entire AOSP community will love you, I guarantee it. I have a Galaxy S7 on AOSP and the camera quality in the stock AOSP camera app is horrible. I've been looking everywhere for a S7 TouchWiz camera app port that works on AOSP, but none of them work

Oh yes I forgot to say, the app is a flashable zip that also contains frameworks and libraries and so on. Will this be a problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kikill3r:
Here you go, I got the logcat and the flashable zip for you. I hope you can do anything with it... :/

...was a different issue. It expects some logging methods in the framework that does not exist in yours.

I removed all the calls...but it might crash elsewhere

push the file to /system/app/SamsungCamera5

...no idea how your manufacturer handles sigantures or if your rom got signature checks removed.

it if does not work, try to install the signed apk manually

I have not bought the the Gear S3 again yet, but tried to install the modified apk on my phone to test

This works, but now I can't install the associated apps Gear S Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service

The apps are downloaded and will install, but then an error message appears (s. screenshot in the attachment)

When reinstalling the original app, the installation of the additional apps will work again

I do not think this can work like this with the watch

Are you able to fix that?

My phone is the Huawei MediaPad X2, stock rom 5.0

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

In Deinen Daten sehe ich, dass Du aus Deutschland kommst.

Da mein English nicht (mehr) so gut ist, hier nochmal das selbe Thema auf Deutsch (etwas ausführlicher):

Erst einmal herzlich Dank für Deine Bemühungen, den Absturzproblemen der GearApp auf den Grund zu gehen.

Ich bin bereits einige Zeit dabei, für die Suche nach einer Lösung zu werben.

Wegen der drehbaren Lünette hatte ich die Gear S3 bei Amazon bereits vorbestellt gehabt, weil ich mit der Bedienung von Android-Wear nicht so zufrieden bin, trotzdem die HuaweiWatch grundsäztlich einwandfrei funktioniert.

Leider zeigte sich dann, dass die GearApp für mein Phone nicht einmal im Playstore angeboten wird, also habe ich die apk über meinen Bluestacks Player auf dem PC gezogen, denn dieser erlaubt verrückterweise den Download, vermutlich weil er sich als Samsung-Device ausgibt.

So hat die Installation dann auch problemlos funktioniert

In den beiden Zusatzapps ist interessanterweise keine derartige Restriktion eingebaut, sodass diese geradeaus über den PlayStore, auch für das X2 aufrufbar sind.

Leider stürzte die GearApp dann zum Start der Installation der S3 ab, (die Bluetooth-Erkennung funktioniert noch) genau dann, wenn auf den Playstore zur Install der 'Gear S Plugin App' verwiesen wird, sollte diese noch nicht auf dem Phone sein, wohl genauso, wie bei vielen Custom-Roms.

Deshalb hatte ich die Uhr erst einmal wieder zurückgegeben.

Mit der von dIr kreierten, modifzierten App habe ich nun eine neue, bis dahin unbekannte Erscheinung (s. Screenshot):

Mit der Installation lassen sich die beiden Zusatzapps nicht mehr aufspielen, weil deren Install. mit einer Fehlermeldung abgebrochen wird.

Nach dem Deinstall. und Install. der originalen, funktioniert das mit den Zusatzapps wieder störungsfrei

Ich habe übrigens auch mit einer Integration der GearApp in das System experimentiert, weil sich so u.A. das bisw. "etwas zickige" Huawei Berechtigungsystem umgehen läßt, aber selbst das bringt leider keine Änderung...

(mein X2 ist also rooted, die Software aber ansonsten komplett Serie (Andriod-Version 5.0))

Es wäre schön, wenn sich auch hier eine Lösung finden würde.

Denn sollte das Update auf AndroidWear2.0, welches für den 9.Februar angesagt ist, keine entscheidenden Verbesserungen in der Bedienung bringen, würde ich es mit der Gear S3 gern nochmals versuchen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
Never saw such behavior, that playstore denies installations of dependent apps. If you have no gear app installed at all, you can't install the apps?

..well you could always install the original gear, then the other apps. Uninstall the gear app, then install mine?

..also the apps are available on apkmirror, you can download and install them from there.

Not sure sure why it seem to work for all others...

Want to make one thing clear here though: I don't own gear myself and never will..I'm just a good guy that wanted to help out some of gear users on our rom (HTC 10).

Means i can't do any deeper debugging, besides reading logs people provide me.

I'm also very confused why no other dev (that owns a gear, and is familar with it and Samsung) looked into it, because it was an really easy fix.

Hello Jan,

can you please have a look at the Samsung Apps?

There are some Updates and it would be great when you could provide them working for us (non Samsung) users ;)

Upload them for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the_real_fosgate:
Hi,

sorry I don´t know where to get them without Viruses or Trojans.

In the Venom Hub there are the following Versions:

Gear App: 2.2.17022862

Accessory Service: 3.1.51.70612

Gear S Plugin: 2.2.03.17041441N

Samsung Health: ???

The newest version Google Play

Gear App: 2.2.17082261

Accessory Service: 3.1.66.70830

Gear S Plugin: 2.2.03.17092141N

Samsung Health: 5.12.0.025
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
But I shall know, that never ever will own a sam**** device? (:

If it's not on apkmirror pull them from /data/app after you updated them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
The update I got over the Gear app is now available on Google Play. Now there are tons of negative reviews with the same problem I had. The plugin crashes again and again...

I wrote Samsung a mail, but they just answered that there are no known problems. They better listened to me :p, now tons of people are in the same situation as I was.

Good job Samsung.

Wow, the comment section in the PlayStore is going crazy. So many problems. And since today the Gear S Plugin is only available for Samsung Smartphones. Other phones get a message in play store that the app is not compatible. So every user without a Samsung phone can't use the gear right now.

For everyone who is in the same situation: Download an older version of Gear S Plugin from apkmirror.com.

It's working fine, just don't update!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
UPDATE

There is a new Gear S Plugin update available in PlayStore. They fixed the crashes, everything is working now.

Looks like even the modded gear app is not needed anymore. But I will check this later.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kajos:
If so, would you please share those .apk(s), for if Sammsung change his mind again ...

I did not buy the S3 again.

I would, if it runs on my phone like on a Samsung one
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MehStrongBadMeh:
Can confirm, updated to the latest Gear S Plugin and latest unmodded Gear App and everything is working properly on my HTC 10.

Gear App 2.2.17022862

Cool, the for the feedback.

No need for that thread anymore then (:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cabtouch:
I have a Samsung Gear S (that one which does not work with ANY non Samsung phone) and a Huawei Mate 9. I will test them with this mod and let you know about the results as soon as I have them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
mhhh, wonder why it works for others then.

Can you gimme the other apks? I could resign them also with testkeys..maybe that helps.

Or I can share you one with original signatures, but we place it in /system instead. you are on a custom rom with root?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kajos:
I've no custom rom, but my phone is rooted

I already tried to fix that all by placing them into system with Link2SD, but that alone doesn't help

The .apk are too big for xda-dev. so I uploaded them on Android-Hilfe (post #2)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cabtouch:
Same as Kajos here. I cannot install the mod apk after installing Gear plugin and Samsung accessory services. If I uninstall them I can install the mod, but the installation of Samsung plugin and service does not work anymore after that.

The error says that there is a name conflict with an already installed package. But I did not have any other gear apk installed before (only the plugin and accessories service).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mecca EL:
[MENTION=4905624]j to the 4n[/MENTION] I've been able to only install your modded apk. I'm on Nougat, and once I start the app, my phone freezes then reboots. I don't think the older Samsung Gear apk is useful anymore. If there's a way for you to mod the new Gear manager, to maybe include the Gear S - it only supports the S2 and the S3 - that may be an easier solution. Just a suggestion. Thank you for helping the abandoned Gear S owners.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mecca EL:
Indeed it is, that's what I get for not cross referencing. My apologies bro :highfive:. Maybe there's some hidden code in the other apps, or the signatures don't match up and that prevents their installation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
is that a screen from your packagemanager, so from your device, after you install the .apk manually, or is it within the gear app?

Can you please log the installation process?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
.also here are all three apks, resigned with the same key: Samsung Gear Apps
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
for the guys where the installation does not work..please share a logcat of the installation process
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kajos:
that is the screen which appears after trying to install the moded gear app manually, if one or both additional Samsung apps are already installed

How I'm able to make a log of this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] j to the 4n:
Did you try to use the three apks I linked above?

just do a logcat.

adb logcat > log.txt

then start the installation of the app...do it 2-3 times...so it definitely gets logged.

upload the logcat for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kajos:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kikill3r:

First off all, thank you [MENTION=4905624]j to the 4n[/MENTION] ,for your efforts to provide a working Gear Manager App for Custom Roms / non-samsung devices.

Very appreciated!

I've tested the new Version on LeeDroiD 3.6.0 Nighly 62.

First the original App, which crash immediately.

Then your modified Version of the Manager App and it's working fine.:good:

Only for the sake of completeness...

The new App wasn't introduced in the Play Store yet.

It was just announced on Tizen Experts.

http://www.tizenexperts.com/2017/01...ation-gear-smartwatches-updated-2-2-16121661/

And there are also matching new Version of

the Gear_S_Plugin_com_samsung_android.apk

and a new Call Provider-com.samsung.accessory.callprovider-41-v2.0.41

Which I would suggest to update as well, maybe just to avoid strange behavior or bugs.

By the Way, on my htc10 with custom ROM, I only use the modded Gear Manager App, with the original Plugin and Accessory Apps without any Problems.
