Hey Brother !!! How did you get this file "empty.rar" from ????
[Samsung Gear Fit] NVLCT11:
Thank You!

Thank You! I was successful in this venture. I bought a fit2 off ebay and it came with the reactivation lock.

I am grateful for these instructions!

Have an awesome holiday!
[Samsung Gear Fit] alh84001:
Worked for me as well. Thank you!
[Samsung Gear Fit] g1dtf:
I have a fit2 that I acquired from a friend as he went over to Apple kit. I am wanting to reset the unit to connect to my S8 but he cant remember if he set the reactivation lock. Is there any way to check the status of the reactivation lock before I reset the unit and possibly lock it. He can't remember his Samsung Account details so going that route is a non starter. The unit is working ok currently but obviously with no phone connection without the reset.
[Samsung Gear Fit] neilio4316:
how will knowing the status change anything? If he cant remember the Samsung details then it wont matter. Just hope for the best and act fast before the files being available on this thread expire and disappear!

gear s3 reactivation

this is where am stuck and you provide that empty file please?
[Samsung Gear Fit] neykov_t:
HI, I just do it on my SM-R765A. everything is fine, but after step 10 in continue show ACTIVATION LOCK: ON

What i am doing wrong ?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hocus:
I am with you I am having the same problem on the gear S2 I even DL specific GS2 files all looks like its going well but when I am on the last step the lock is still on. Any pointers would be amazing.
[Samsung Gear Fit] KlotzMator:
Hello, thank you for this helpfull thread. sorry, i have some problems. If i came to point 9. and connect to the gearfit2 an writhe: "adb root on" it says: " adb: unable to connect for root: closed".

I have change from PowerShell to cmd, but there is the same. What do i wrong?

Nobody else with a Idea? I have do all point of the "list" at page 6, but after if i type "root on" the device goes offline. Debugging is on, after "connect" i can see the Gear Fit2 at "adb devices". Even the command "kill-server" and "start-server" does not help. PC and GearFit2 shut down and start angain brought no change.

Update: My problem was a old adb-version. After i change to a newer i can use "root on" and all other points of the list. So i can use my GearFit again :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hightower08:

[Samsung Gear Fit] mjbarnes9:
I just was reading through this forum for my gear s2 that I picked up at a pawn shop a few years ago and wound up tossing it aside till now. I followed the main steps and used net odin to flash the combination FTMA but was met with the watch saying "Custom Binary Blocked" and now I can only go to the USB download page (all others result in a reboot and the same message). I'm going to solder up a USB connection to the back panel of the device and try again tomorrow morning and will update as I go, but i wanted to see if anyone else encountered this problem when using the wireless download mode. Thanks though for all your hard work!

[Samsung Gear Fit] ivanmir:
Reactivation lock is still ON

Hi,

I followed the instructions and I am still stuck with step 10.

I've entered the commands and they all return as expected/documented here.

However, after the watch reboots into download the screen shows:

REACTIVATION LOCK: ON

I've tried to use:

sdb shell dd if=/opt/usr/media/empty.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p14 <-- this immediately show a kernel panic screen

sdb shell dd if=/opt/usr/media/empty.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p15 <-- this doesn't do kernel panic, but it doesn't turn reactivation lock off.

Just to get things clear, I do own the watch (model SM-R765V) and I do know the Samsung account and password that is tied to it.

But the Wear application gets stuck after pairing with the watch. I enter the Samsung account's password and it does log in (no authentication error). After a moment it just tells me it cannot unblock it. The only option is either cancel or try to unlock it again (which obviously fails and returns to the same screen).

Hence why I'm following the process - since the local Samsung support here in Brazil doesn't even know how to connect to the watch (sucks!).

My guess is that Samsung has "fixed" the empty partition technique to unlock the watch on a recent watch firmware (which I had installed).

Hence the procedure doesn't work any longer. However, the attempt to fix it made the "official" unlocking procedure fail altogether. So now there is no way to unlock it - unless you deactivate the watch before pairing with an new phone (which is why I'm in this situation).

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Ivan

dd: opening `/dev/mmcblk0p15': Permission denied

^^^^^^^^^^^ ------Can you help me??? I have performed all of these steps, realized this part keeps coming up as permission denied. Do you know how I can fix this??? I'm getting beyond frustrated as I've followed the steps, only to realize this must be where the hang up is within the process.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Jacobyt:
In step 9, try the following:

adb root on
adb push empty.bin /opt/usr/media/

adb shell dd if=/opt/usr/media/empty.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p17
adb shell reboot download

Unsubscribe from anyone what and how it happened!

P.S. I have a Gear Sport and have long tried various teams from different sources. Either it does not unlock, then the core crashes, but this method helped.

That definitely helped the permission denied aspect! Thank you so much!!!

Now my watch is displaying this message in red after the flash:

Any idea how to fix this??

Again, thank you so much for the help!!!

Hope this helps others!
[Samsung Gear Fit] incanuso:
Recently got a locked gear 2 model SM-R730A. I've had a rough time getting this to work since my watch didn't have wireless download mode. I have finally gotten to the step where I need to connect with adb, and it's not connecting. I receive an error "error: failed to connect to remote target 'IP address'". I have debugging mode on, am I missing something else that I should have turned on?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Edit: Looks like it connected without 26101 typed in, and connected to port 26101 automatically. However, the lock isn't removed. If anyone has advice, let me know. I'll work on it in the meantime.

I think of=/dev/mmcblk0p15 may be the problem? It seems to be different for different models of watches. Please let me know if there is a special code for the r730a.

Ok so I did all of the steps as told on here but the reactivation lock is still on!! I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong if I am doing anything wrong maybe the ADB STUFF THAT YOU HAVE TO TYPE DOESNT WORK!! So what I'm going to try diffrent this time is what desolli said instead of putting the ADB first I'm going to try the SDB instead and see if that works if not I really need someone on here to please help me????!!!!!

[Samsung Gear Fit] incanuso:
There's two things you can do. One is solder a usb cable to the circuit board of the watch. Another is to take apart a gear S charger and use that to connect to five prongs where the strap attaches. You can find out how to do the second with a youtube video....I'm not sure if I can link here, but if you search "gear wireless download fix," you should be able to find it. You have to do this using "download" rather than "wireless download" since not all watches have that option.

[Samsung Gear Fit] jaszfalvi.tamas:
Hi everyone!

Just as a heads up, the method described by [MENTION=9450009]bobus008[/MENTION] is good and working. I have an S2 classic (R732), for me, adb did not do the magic. If anyone else is stuck with this problem, you have to download the tizen sdk with Java development kit 8(!). This package has an sdb.exe tool which will do the magic. Same commands, but instead of adb, you write sdb.

Also, on the S2 classic the correct partition is mmcblk0p14. The ones ending in 15, 16, 17 did not turn off the reactivation lock.

Hope this will help someone in the future.

Cheers!

gear s3 760 - Help PLEASE!

I am working with a Gear s3 d714 SM-r760 551D / FTMA_R760XXU2BQC2

I have been working almost non-stop for two days trying to figure this out. I have followed all the steps given, but when I get to Paulie's amd commands but it won't let me turn the root on.

I have been following a YouTube video from Tipsnntricks and have run into a little problem. My Gear Sport watch will not connect to odin.

[Samsung Gear Fit] hetster:
i had to do it several times. i started at 14 which failed.. then you have to reflash with the combination firmware and redo al the steps and change this 1 line and increase numbers 1 by 1. started at 14 and finished on 17 as that worked.

adb shell dd if=/opt/usr/media/empty.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p15

all failed for me except

adb shell dd if=/opt/usr/media/empty.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p17

which worked for me and turned activation lock off.. ytrick is to reflash combination between each attempt. well for me anyway

if you are having any problems remember the empty bin file is should be in the folder you launch adb from

this same method above can be used for various Samsung watches i used it on 3 different versions and worked each time @SteampunkJedi posted this so you can use at your risk, by removing mmcblk0p15 from the command adb shell dd if=/opt/usr/media/empty.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0p15 to match your device model
