Thanks a lot xedamen for the great tutorial post.

Hi, I think he means for step : "Step 5: Choose the Access point with the same name appears on your S3." is : on your computer, select your wireless connection to Access point with the same name appears on your gear S3.

After doing this I got connection error display on the gear S3, then I disabled firewall protection on my antivirus software, and then at last I was able to do all the steps and successfully get back to Tizen 2.3.2.3

I get around this problem by turning off firewall protection on my antivirus software (not windows firewall).
[Samsung Gear S3] JAVIJAVIMARTIN:
Hello, thank you very much for your post. I was having problems with my gear R770 after tizen 3.0 update (Battery issues). Now my watch is back to 2.3.2.3

I've noticed that tizen update is not available for me to download. Any chance I will be able to update to tizen 3.0 OTA?
[Samsung Gear S3] Streect:
Can you add cards to samsung pay after downgrade?
[Samsung Gear S3] JAVIJAVIMARTIN:
No, but I couldn't do it before either. I bought my whatch in Spain, and it is not available there.
[Samsung Gear S3] Streect:
Ah ok, thanks.
[Samsung Gear S3] untyped:
I would like to go back to 2.3.2.3 as well since battery and performance is not great on 3.0. I am based in the states and my watch was bought here, but was sent for repairs couple of months ago. After getting it back it is slightly different software wise. It almost seems like it has UK firmware installed.

Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that Samsung Pay can't be used after downgrading using this tutorial? Also, how do you get back to stock firmware and start getting future OTAs and have perfectly functioning Gear S3 Classic?

Such a great watch, I was so happy with performance and battery life and after 3.0 it is not the same.

quick question.

[MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION] i flashed this firmware onto my s3 that was R770X and it now shows up as R770. the tizen version is 2.3.2.3. software is R770XXU2BQC5. i believe this is the latest release of the firmware. will this now recieve FOTA updates or do i need to manually download them? also i read somewhere that for R770 Tizen latest is 2.3.2.4, is this true and how do i update?
[Samsung Gear S3] adfree:
[MENTION=8782202]namrepus2010[/MENTION]

FOTA mechanism require Sales Code/CSC check...

No idea if your Live Demo Unit still as PAP Sales Code/CSC...

:confused:

You can check if now Retail Sales Code/CSC is set...

With Tool SDB...

I can give you only more info about future... if we know if PAP is changed into Retail CSC/Sales Code...

Then we can find out, if BQC5 or BQH1 leads to next Firmware update in Future... as Tizen 3 Firmware is removed...

Or you better make CSC change... if you need FOTA updates in future.

You have flashed BQC2 Combination Firmware?

And it would boot into "normal" Combination Firmware Screen?

Or you have in this menu also:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckyheel:
I really need the help of one or more of this forums intelligent minds. As I'm sure you'll see, I've posted this in the QA forum, but have had no hits so far....thus the reason for posting here.

So, about 6mos ago, my Nexus 10 stopped working and I couldn't get it back working...eventually moved onto a new tablet, which now I hate....

Anyway, I figured I'd head back to my N10 because I loved it. However, one of the reasons I left it was because it was stuck in bootloop and I was pretty sure it was bricked.

The bad news, I have followed MANY, if not ALL, of the suggestions on getting it back, I just cannot get it to boot. The good news, fastboot connects with the tablet. So, some specifics:

The tablet WILL boot into fastboot and I can send commands and the tablet is unlocked (also, I believe someone said they had issues because they had an older version of ADB and Fastboot. I'm pretty sure I downloaded the 'most current' version 1.4.3). So, with that, I was able to do the fastboot erase functions, such as cache, userdata, system, etc... and then also load the bootloader (mantafm01) and also send the stock .zip file (image-mantaray-....) and the tablet appears to load everything fine. Thumbs up, right? However, when it reboots it stops at the 'erasing' android bot and will not pass that. I left the tablet in that state for a few minutes all the way up to 3 days...no success.

I also tried the above using Wugfresh only to have the same thing occur. So, basically, I am stuck at 'erasing' and I don't know what to do. I feel confident that the tablet has the ability to be brought back to life, I just cannot figure out how/why all of the attempts lead to the same issue.

What I can also tell you is that while fastboot 'sees' the tablet, the tablet does not appear as a device in "My Computer" like it normally did when connecting via USB. I am using the original USB cable and have tried on multiple computers, all to no avail. I've downloaded/installed the drivers, as instructed on many links. Also, while I can get to the 'Recovery Mode' by pressing Power, Volume Up, Volume Down, if I choose "Recovery Mode" on the tablet, it reboots and goes to the 'erasing' screen. I have tried flashing TWRP on the tablet using fastboot as well. And, sometimes, not all the time, the TWRP blue/black screen appears but it will not progress past that screen (i.e., it doesn't go into recovery).

So, if you can, please help. I believe I have followed all of the instructions, but I have to be missing something or not following something correctly. I'm stoked that it looks like it's only soft-bricked, I just can't get it un-bricked.

Thanks in advance! I'm at my wits' end
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reynaldo2333:
Try fastbooting a recovery like TWRP thati s updated then flash a rom.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodflood:
disclaimer: I might be no help at all!

You have fastboot -- go learn all the fastboot commands... you need to know the tools and figure a solution!

erase... hmm? why? What about factory reset? I see you are not using LOS 13 but stock image... need root? Basically, I would factory reset/wipe sdcard, then install recovery (TWRP) [okay, so first you would need to use fastboot to install custom recovery)...THEN, push (fastboot:) an image.zip (LOS or stock) to sdcards, install, and reboot!

Good to have WUG... another tool in the chest (I have never seen it or used it)

Ok, so one clue is that if your computer cannot see it, that says to me RED FLAG... ADB drivers? but you say fastboot works, hmm... I think this is the problem... Koush's universal ADB drivers? official Google drivers? Could these help!

Erasing screen? Hmm...

I would say, for the hell of it, try flashing different ROMs, Recoveries, and Drivers.... you are basically trying to...

Factory Reset/wipe SDcard [system, cache, ... everything], Flash custom recovery (optional), then, some how (fastboot or mycomputer) get an image on to /sdcard, then, install, then, reboot!

Good luck!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mryorkshireman:
Why not try this

I have not had this problem with my Nexus 10 but I did once with my Nexus 7 and it may help you.

Instead of trying to flash TWRP and run it (which is not working for you) why not boot into a temporary copy of TWRP and then work from that? To flash TWRP normally (persuming you had renamed the img file to TWRP which makes it easier) you would enter 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'. Instead of doing that type 'fastboot boot twrp.img'. This boots into TRWP and from there you will be able run all the options and from there flash TWRP and other images as normal.

If you are having problems with drivers have you used 'USBDeview' ? Run this as Administrator and delete all references to any phone or tablet USB driver and particularly look for devices with Vendor ID '18d1' or '04e8'. Just select them, right click on them and select 'Uninstall Selected Devices'. When they are all cleared reboot your computer and plug your tablet in and it should install the correct driver.

Another option I used successfully with a Nexus 7 in a boot loop was to connect it while running Linux. I don't have a Linux on a computer so I installed one in 'Oracle VM VirtualBox' I don't know Linux but after Googling for help I installed Peppermint Linux and then ADB for Linux. I downloaded the 'TWP' image into a folder in Linux and any other images I wanted. Connect your tablet to the USB port and then on the top menu in VirtualBox select 'Devices' then 'USB' and tick the option which shows your tablet. I then went into what we call a command prompt in Windows but which they call 'Terminal'. Then type 'ADB devices' and if you see it on the list use ADB instead of fastboot. As I mentioned my Nexus 7 was in a boot loop so I typed 'ADB wait-for-device' and as soon as it looped to a point where ADB could see it then the looping stopped and I could flash the images and recover the tablet.

All the best. I hope you are successful.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxyninja66:
As long as you can get into bootloader mode, your good.

NOW

If you can't get into boot loader mode? as far as I know...

You're ****ed.

Unless you want to set up usb boot (might not work on Exynos, idk, this is magic to me) and solder the connectors and flash it like they do in factories. That's next level **** too, and considering an N10 is 100$ on amazon you're better off just grabbing a new one.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ourtech:
I just received the Mate 9 (MHA - L29) from Amazon and I am impressed. Coming from a LG V20 I have to say I love everything about this phone. But I have one concern. Running less than conclusive tests, it SEEMS that the Mate 9 has slower LTE performance on T-Mobile even though they are supposed to have very similar speeds. I have never seen faster speeds, often slower, often similar. In my home, depending on the time of day I can get anywhere from 8 Mbps to 40 Mbps. Here at home I am seeing on the lower end while on the LG V20 it is on the higher end. Today I took the phone to a nearby area where I consistently get 50 - 70 Mbps and I got 60 on my LG V20. Took the SIM card, put it in the Mate 9 and I got 40 Mbps. On a second run I got 50 - 52.

So my question? What speeds are you seeing and how is the quality of the connection? Please post your speeds.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] samsmalls:
Honestly I've been concerned also. I've had several Sony's, and now the mate. My speeds have been a bit lower than my Sony phones, however I noticed that a glass back case that I was using was definitely hindering my speeds, wireless reception, and call quality.

I was just starting to believe that as Tmo moved into 3rd largest carrier perhaps I was experiencing a little bit of congestion! Not sure but using the Huawei case that shipped with the phone showed great improvement for me!

I'm on a V20, and was considering the Mate 9. In which aspects, do you think it's a great move?

Thanks in advance!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ourtech:
Let me start by saying that I REALLY like my V20. With that said, why am I looking at the Mate 9? I am very concerned that the direction that phone designs are taking involve curved screens and 18:9 form factors, which I hate. The V20 is fast enough but I am concerned that we are arriving at the end of the wider screens that the V20 and now the Mate 9 offer. So I have been looking at the next phone with the idea that I might end up staying with that device for a while.

So, what do I like about the Mate 9? The screen is slightly bigger yet (minor but noticeable in side to side, the OnePlus 5 was slightly smaller and didn't care for that), faster CPU, a much brighter screen, nicer OS implementation and what I am really hoping for but haven't fully verified is much longer battery life ( my battery does not last long and I have tried every trick). If I can get that then, especially at the price, it will be a keeper. But not if I lose network performance. Hope that helps. I will miss the replaceable battery but the extra capacity may be worth the trade. If it doesn't have longer battery life then I stick with the V20.

Opposite for me as far as signal goes. This phone gave me the best signal from T-Mobile in and outdoors. As far as if it's worth it. The answers a billion time yes.
