Yeah to be honest after a day with the phone - the only thing that makes it feel Chinese/HK is Samsung Pay... and I'm not entirely sure i'll be using it over GPay.

Looks like we have an unlocked bootloader though so will personally its just a matter of time until I brick my phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] danikollar:
How did you find out it has an unlocked bootloader? The Snapdragon ones should be with the locked bootloader.

Hi, if I may ask that have you linked your Canadian cards to the G9750 and it works with Samsung Pay? I am planning to buy one but the Samsung Pay is very important to me...

adding to the same question , i have a HongKong variant (SM-G9750) with Unlocked bootloader (u get the option to unlock in developer mode) , i m using it in india with Jio & Vodafone (network providers).. when i was on roaming i saw my phone not picking up network that well compared to my friends on the same network diff phones. i guess thats coz their CSC is Indian and mine is Hong kong ( i can be wrong in this , correct if i am) in that case is there a way to flash Indian CSC or Multi CSC on my device.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Arc_LightmanbearPig:
Just adding to the discussion here....I'm living in mainland China, not Hong Kong, and am using a Chinese sim card in my S7 that i brought with me from North America. It works fine with the apps i had installed when I came over. This includes VPN services, the Google play store and all its goodies. I just purchased the S10+ G9750 here in mainland China (not in Hong Kong). I don't have it in my hand yet, but when I get it I expect it to be full of Chinese software and restricting type soft/bloatware that could potentially limit both my access to VPN and the Google play store (FWIW, i have heard many expats here who have bought local xiaomi's and huawei's and have tried to put a VPN on them on to have it magically disappear from their phones a few days/weeks afterwards...I assume there is some sort of setting or software that does this as VPN services are not "legal" in China. I have also heard of people having problems with certain western APKs when installing them on these same Chinese phones).

That said...I have a few questions....hopefully this is the correct place to ask them...

1) Is there a difference between a Hong Kong G9750 and a mainland China one?

2) Based on what I have read, my G9750 does have an unlockable bootloader....if so...

3) what am i able to do with an unlockable bootloader? It seems that people interchangeably use "rooting" and bootloading a new rom on to an international phone so i'm confused af. Flashing the firmware???

Ultimately, i would like to completely wash this Chinese phone of any potential BS Chinese software and install a western ROM (i.e., Canada or US) that will still make it work in China, but will still offer me all the Google play store and other western app functionality as I have currently with my s7.

Thoughts?
[Samsung Gear S2] Hocus:
Hi guys,

Looking for some help, I was updating my gear s2 using odin and I was not paying attention and believe I added the wrong file. Now my watch is stuck with the dreaded Downloading do not turn off target screen. The problem is I can't get the watch to do anything else. I have tried soldering the 4 usb cables and downloading the samsung drivers but odin does not recognize it.

Holding the buttons down only turns the watch off and back to the same screen. I can even let the battery sit for 3 days and the first time I plug it in, it goes back to the same screen . Its a lovely brick right now but just hoping someone with a bit more knowledge has an idea.
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
If not Top Secret...

Maybe tell us EXACT Model Name...

Example:

SM-R732 or SM-R730A or...

:confused:

Best Regarsd
[Samsung Gear S2] tergiverser:
I'm in the same situation - It's actually impossible to even check the model version either.

It's stuck on downloading... Do not turn off target after a flashing to reset (inherited from my brother in law).

Can't connect via wireless anymore, nor BT (and I assume computer connection is not an option with this device?)

I'm now waiting for the power to die off on it though not holding my breath.

Any pointers as to where to go to unbrick this?
[Samsung Gear S2] drunkenben:
Did you try to install the latest Samsung USB drivers? Do you have Samsung Kies installed? I had this problem and what helped me was uninstalling Samsung Kies and installing the latest Samsung USB drivers.
[Samsung Gear S2] LukeSalonga:
Same issue fo not understand

I have the same issue. My gear s2 is stuck on downloading... Do not turn off target. Powering off just reboots to the same screen. How can you uninstall kies or install latest drivers if the watch cant do anything with the watch? Please help me and give me a detailed procedure to follow. It would help me a lot.

[MENTION=10300967]LukeSalonga[/MENTION]

Step 1...

Identify your correct Model Name...

SM-R732 or SM-R730T or SM-R720 or SM-R730A or :confused:

Best Regards
[Samsung Gear S2] LukeSalonga:
Confused.

I cant check the model my watch cant do anything but show this screen.
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
Normally you can look with open eyes on your device... back cover... rear case...

Anyway... look first few seconds of this Video...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQNOaZ8-BTQ

You are able to hold Power Button for few seconds to force reboot... and enter this reboot menu?

If Download wireless is possibe you can flash Firmware...

If you only can enter download aka Odin Mode... you are able to read Model Name... first line...

SM-R7[COLOR="Red"]???[/COLOR]

Best Regards
[Samsung Gear S2] LukeSalonga:
Doesnt show model

On my screen. It currently says: "Samsung gear s2. Downloading... Do not turn off target" There is no other writing on the screen. On the back there is text saying: "samsung gear s2 classic. 316L stainless steel case". There is no other writing on the watch.
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
S2 Classic could be SM-R732... I have this Watch I know how it looks and how it works... IMHO...

Use Flashlight or Microscope... to look into the black part of Back Cover/ Rear Case.. to confirm it is SM-R732 and no LTE Variant of it...

Attached example of SM-R720 Back Case/Rear Cover... you can Google or Ebay this... to know how to look at your own Watch... with open eyes.

Again.

Are you able to hold Power key... for few Seconds...

Other Video...

Maybe look this time WHOLE Video and try to find your way to Reboot menu...

Is there a small hole in the back cover near letters "ess" in "stainless"?

Model of watch

There is a cut out hole above the 'ess' in stainless at the back of the watch, however, there is text at the back saying: "SM R732".

Short summary.

Good

You have SM-R732... I have tiny experience because I have this Watch too. :good: :cool:

Bad

I still have not enough information... :o

A

How you reached this situation?

By accident... or randomly or like Thread Starter by doing "something"

Or you bought this Watch from Ebay and never worked?

:confused: :confused:

B

Thread Starter wrote something about USB cable... with no success...

Look here what we mean with USB cable...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcLYt8S7jog

But... BAD BAD very BAD...

Maybe something like this happens:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80602127&postcount=11

Maybe eMMC have still this DL Flag from param... and can not overwrite with new data... :o

No idea about your solder skills...

I have never tried IMHO to test "USB JIG" to set DL Mode without Keys... with Resistor blabla...

So if no key Combination exist to enter valid DL Mode...

you are out of luck to repair. :o

[Samsung Gear S2] LukeSalonga:
Alright here is the story of how I got to this point:

-I bought this watch off of Gumtree Australia used.

-The watch had a reactivation lock active.

-The seller didn't respond to disable the reactivation lock.

-I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCDouih8QtQ&t=291s

-I was up to the step where I had to flash the 'AP' file onto the watch.

-It was installing via wireless download.

-I flashed it with the AP file: COMBINATION-FTMA_R360XXU1DQH1.tar.md5

-On the watch screen, there was a downloading progress line.

-Once it completed, it booted to the downloading screen which I am stuck at now

-After about 2 days after I was stuck at this screen the Gumtree seller removed the reactivation lock.

So that's the situation I am in. Hope this helps. Thanks for the help so far.
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
Okidoki...

If you flashed this to the SM-R732... then clear why not work as before... IMHO.

COMBINATION-FTMA_R[COLOR="Red"][B]360[/B][/COLOR]XXU1DQH1.tar.md5

This is Combination Firmware for SM-R360... NOT for SM-R732...

Best Regards
[Samsung Gear S2] bbsc:
Not a big problem, but you will need to flash it via wired connection.

In any case the "rebooting..." menu is necessary to get into download (not wireless) mode, so try to find it. It must be there. The jig does not work (for me, at least).

And you need to buy an Y-type screwdriver and a R750 charging craddle.

$5 for the both, I think...

I used to buy such watches too, have a look at the photo...
[Samsung Gear S2] LukeSalonga:
Can someone compile a list of all the ways you can get to the reboot screen so I can try all of them? Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S2] bbsc:
Look, this may be enough to flash the watch.

This means that the device is in download mode already and is trying to download firmware.

But you have to open it and connect a cable.
[Samsung Gear S2] adfree:
"We" have only 2 Hardware Keys...

I can remember on SM-R760 for instance it was possible with weired Key Combination to bypass some mistake with DL wireless...

Something like hold release hold relaes blabla ... timing...

Look here:

https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/wireless-mode-enter-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3710855

But... you have killed Original Software/Firmware on device...

COMBINATION-FTMA_[B]R360[/B]XXU1DQH1.tar.md5

Kernel is wrong... param is wrong... few important Software pieces now replaced by wrong Software from wrong device...

IMHO only sboot.bin Bootloader is still from SM-R732...

You have download Link to COMBINATION-FTMA_R360XXU1DQH1.tar.md5 ?

Maybe we can check param file... because here are flags/settings for USB etc inside..

We could try to analyze SM-R360 FTMA to feel/smell what is now wrong inside your SM-R732 and if chance is low or lowER with USB cable...

Best Regards

Edit 1.

I can only find BPI1 in public:

Have a look at the writings on the watches' screen in my post #17.

"Gear Fit2" on the S2's screen... Reactivation lock blocked recovery.... The watch is up and running.

But LukeSalonga must connect a cable and flash a combination firmware for SM-R732.

It can be found here: https://shell.boxwares.com/Download.aspx?L=887

I have not seen this first time... as you post it... I saw only aha SM-R720...

Also after your post now.. clicked few times on your Photo... :D :o :laugh: :good:

Anyway.

Task to repair is not for every one "Kindergarten"... with USB cable...

Another hint for you LukeSalonga...

If you download from Boxwares Link...

https://shell.boxwares.com/default.aspx?DeviceModel=SM-R732&Type=All#fh5co-table

Be carefully with XXX in Filename... :D

You need only 2 XX... otherwise you will take again wrong Firmware for LDU devices with 3 XXX

So R732XXU2AOJ2 is correct choice.

samsung gear s2 SM-R720
[Samsung Gear S2] captaindrone:
Hello!

I have had a Samsung Gear S2 model SM-R720 for almost 10 years.

Now I had to change its battery since the old one wasn't retaining charge for much longer.

I opened it (I have all the necessary tools, yes, and I had done the same for my wife's one), with no issues, removed the old battery and inserted the new one.

Then I put the circuit board back in place, reattached all cables, secured with the small screws and turned it on to try the battery before sealing up.

I immediately got the message "Downloading... Do not turn off target!".

I don't even get the chance to press the on-off button several times as mencioned in this thread. It just jumps to this screen.

Any suggestions on how to overcome this aside from buying a new watch?

Thanks!

Any real world comparisons? Value for money?

I am undecided with the poco f1 and redmi note 7. Battery and camera are my main priorities. I dont think I can justify the extra £££ for Tue pocophone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] tdot.loco:
Honestly you will definitely get better life with the redmi note 7 because the chip is more inclined towards power efficiency rather than performance. Now the pocofone must have a lot of development by now so maybe if you are into installing roms you might find one that gives you much better battery life than stock.

Cameras pocofone wins, but it's not day and night difference. Redmi note 7 still pushes hard.

These were taken with my redmi note 7 today/yesterday. I have gcam and stock, Gcam is slightly better in low light, and Much better with video recording in 1080p.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] skintigth:
My battery it's definitely dying, it's full charged and after 15min or less of light use (what's app or telegram messaging) it goes to less than 85% and it turns off immediately, without use it goes til 60% and turn off or goes from 100% to 0% in two hrs, when I try to power on it again it shows the battery full drain icon, if I wait one or tow minutes it runs on with ~10% less than when it turned off and after 5 second it power off again, repeating the same, so I'm convinced my battery it's almost dead.

I've been searching for a replacement but I don't want to buy a bad battery that might explode. I Have seen some generic options in internet (AliExpress, Amazon, Gearbest) with good reviews but I'm a little exceptical so I what your opinion or what battery do you recommend
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] tomongo:
If you can find a battery made in Japan or Korea, I've heard those are of higher quality than the ones made in China. (My knowledge and experience is very limited on this subject, mind you)

If you can find battery cells that will fit inside the phone, you might want to try and "make" your own battery.

Also, to my knowledge, a bad replacement battery would typically have lower capacity or something of that nature rather than explode in your face.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
How much would a service centre or a reputable repair shop charge you for a new battery? They're more likely to sell you/fit a new battery that won't be faulty, and you'll have recourse if it does.

Hey guys. I've got a problem. When I add my live messenger account to my Pocket PC (wm6), it syncs ALL contacts that I have (tells me how many copied). but when I open Live messenger it only shows 73 contacts. What happened to the rest? People keep writing me, but I don't get any messages because they are not listed in live messenger...

What do I need to do in order to get ALL my Live messenger contacts showing in the list. Oh and btw, the 73 contacts are online+offline contacts.

It almost looks that there is a maximum to the imported contacts, but I never heard of that before and it would be stupid too...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] atakatas:
check the contact name lengths per contact. is there any too long ones or containing characters specific to non-English languages?

check the free space available in memory.

check the connection/firewall settings on winxp if u are using a conn over pc. Once, i had a problem related to that. The connection was normal at the beginning, after a few seconds it was off. i could send and receive information at that short time..

then go to batery, also in settings, enter there look for the quick freeze option, enter there and turn off the quick freeze for the app.
