Big rollout today. Many countries are receiving the update to 5.5.0.1 for Active2.

UK, Turkey, Philippines, Canada, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, etc. Seems that some countries only for SM-R830 (40mm) but they might receive the 44mm as well later today or very soon.

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ----------

The update to Tizen 5.5 is not related to ECG or BP, they are different things.

What Samsung is rolling out is the update of Tizen version, from 4.0.0.x to 5.5.0.1.

ECG and BP apps need to be approved by UK, and by every single country to be available for their citizens.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] TwistyValhalla:
No update for SM-R835F in Canada yet. Looks like LTE models will have to wait as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Xfiles_de:
SM-R835F Germany also nothing :(

I've just manually installed ECG myself onto GWA2 44mm and it's all working no problems now
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Eluryh:
but, were you able to install ECG in 5.5 via sdb? I thought they not allow to use sdb in 5.5
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] velqn:
Guys,

did I get it correctly? I updated to Tizen 5.5.0.1 - before that I have changed the CSC to US and was side loading BP and ECG tpk.

Now after the OTA update, I have ECG OTA but can`t sideload the BP.TPK via sdb - I guess Samsung blocked. I saw on XDA, then getting ECG is possible by signing the TPK, is this valid for BP.tpk as well?

Other option would be to change to KOR but there Samsung Pay is not working and I am using it...

So ... do we have any options without downgrading to 4.x firmware installing BP and upping to 5.x?

Any ideas? Or is the game over for now... :)

On Tizen 4.0.0.7 ECG didn't go past the 5 seconds mark but now after this new firmware update all is good noting no software modifications made .

Hi is something way how to make working BP on GWA2, XAR region and Tizen 5.5 and Samsung phone?. ECG working great.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] shahrooz_ra:
hello thanks for your reply

first time I was able to change csc to XAR Success , by Get help from this link https://youtu.be/EyaGf31T6Xc

and update watch to 4.0.0.8 R820XXU1BTG1 and 5.5 R820XXU1CTH8 and bp and ecg work complete.but after reset watch For some reason and when i wanted remove SHM and ecg from watch and again use tpk pusher for install ecg and bp on watch ,

this error appeared:Whereas it was not before:

At this point I decided change csc to koo korea and flash combinnation firmware from same link

, change csc to koo korea but this time give me error like sdb pull and sdb push command not found or similar

error.

I could not change csc and now i am on tizen 4.0.0.8 R820XXU1BTG1 with XAR csc.

i think after update watch to tizen 5.5 we can not change csc?(sorry but i do not have any photo or screenshot) .if this is true I messed up.:confused::crying:

Hi I have just got the update to Tizen 5.5 on my SM-830 which was running Tizen 4.0.0.8, fortunately my BP and ECG options are still there from when I added it in 4.0.0.8 and are still working perfectly in Tizen 5.5

[MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION] I noticed that when I go to the Samsung wearable app to add widgets, I see the blood oxygen (Sp02) widget there and when I add it and scroll to it on my watch it disappears and goes back to the state where you can add it again

By the way my region is XFA (South Africa)

Not sure i just updated to 5.5.0.1 for UK that doesn't come with the ecg and followed a YouTube video that contained links to download the Samsung health monitor app to watch and phone, both work fine.

What's your model of Active2 you have mate...?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] StokeActive:
44mm GWA2 SM-R820 pal
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Shammy7861:
I got the 44mm GWA SM-R825F no update yeat dam bloody Samsung need to get the act and ass into gear bloody leave the UK behind everything when it should be us included in the trail.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] StokeActive:
I think the R825 is 4G as well as bluetooth isn't it? If that's the case then it may take a little bit longer as Samsung have to get approval from the Mobile Network that its on before it can be released.

I think the only places that have ECG officially are Korea and USA, unfortunately that feature doesn't look to have been approved by the UK or EU equivalent of the FDA yet. Hopefully its soon though.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Shammy7861:
Yeah that is right i have the latest ECG and BP combo installed and on my phone... I bought it unlocked from Samsung direct but my network provider does not support the 4g nice to have if they do change their mind. I want to see if it updates to 5.5 if the existing ECG and BP combo app will work as previously they did am on version 4.0.0.7.

New update at this moment for GWA2 on XAR, around 16mb fix gps and stability on the system
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] tower5:
I did thus update......and wirh surprise it reinstalled Tizen again....same 5.5.0 1....why ?

Consequence= I lost BP .. again. !!

I'll re-do what I did 2 days ago.....hoping it will work again....

Anybody experienced the same??
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Gary02468:
If we have BP and ECG working on GWA2/XAR under the previous 5.5 firmware (CTH8), will they continue to work under the new (CTI4) update? (EDIT: Never mind, just saw tower5's post that BP vanished with this update.)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] nilloks:
Whell...whit the last update i have the problem i cant unistall the GHM on the watch...i only have working the ECG...tomorrow i try to unninstalling and put the 29.apk
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] xaser66:
...a dumb question... Maybe a Factory Reset to GWA2 may also erase broken/not functioning tpks that may be sideloaded with sbm o pusher apk previously, in tizen 5.5?...

I am looking for cleanning the tpks that appears that not installed correctly in 825u but that give errors in try to using sbm to delete them...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Gary02468:
Just like the first Tizen 5.5 update on GWA2/XAR: BP disappeared; I had to use sdb to remove the bp.tpk that was substituted by the update; then I used TPKpusher to reinstall bp.tpk 29, and now everything works again.

EDIT1: I spoke too soon. BP works, but ECG does not. When I try to start ECG on my watch, it gets stuck on "Open Phone App", even though SHM 175 mod4 is already running on my phone.

EDIT2: Ok, after I rebooted the watch again and tried ECG again, it connected properly to the phone app. So BP & ECG both work again.

2. Can I directly update from FOTA then use TPKpusher to reinstall bp.tpk 29?

3. Do I need to uninstall the existing bp.tpk and ecg.tpk before reinstalling with bp.tpk29?

I just did reset my watch. still same problem.

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

**** I should have install it before update to 5.5 basically?

I'm so confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Gary02468:
If I understand correctly, people who did not sideload bp23 or bp29 while still on Tizen 4.8 are unable, after a Tizen 5.5 update, to delete bp.tpk in order to replace it with bp29. But they can revert to Tizen 4.8, then delete bp.tpk and install bp29, and then update again to Tizen 5.5. Then, they're able to delete bp.tpk again and replace it again with bp29.

But when the update to Tizen 5.5 occurs, the bp29 that had been installed under Tizen 4.8 gets replaced by a different bp.tpk (one that doesn't work in regions that don't officially have BP; that's why it needs to be deleted and replaced again by bp29). So at this point, bp29 has been replaced by the Tizen update; but if bp29 wasn't there previously, deleting the new one is unsuccessful. So that means that the previous installation of bp29 must have left some trace that enables the Tizen 5.5 bp.tpk to be deleted, even though bp29 itself is gone by then. Any guess as to what that trace might be?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] PowerTic:

[MENTION=653570]Bi0haZarD[/MENTION] Hi mate, kalispera!

I have a p40 pro and a GWA2, currently prompted to update new firmware but still on 4.0.0.7.

My CSC must be the same as yours, since my GWA2 was bought in Greece and I want to install bp and ecg before updating tizen. Given our similar setup, would you mind elaborating on the steps you followed?

Would these two videos suffice to successfully install them or do I have to sideload anything else?

To summarize my experience, going from my Indonesian Active2, Tizen 4.0.0.7, with working BP to Tizen 5.5..0.1 OTA update. I have a Samsung Note 10+. Wow there's a lot of info scattered all over this long thread...I hope the following is clear-ish and might help someone.

1. Started the watch update. Suddenly panicked that I should check whether just updating the firmware would still leave my BP working. Decided that it wouldn't

2. Put phone into Flight Mode to stop the update.

3. Uninstalled the BP.tpk from my watch using sdk and these instructions:

a: Check Developers Options enabled and debugging mode on (hit software version 5 times on watch), and watch connected to same WiFi as computer

b: Start Tizen Studio, connect to watch (should be the same process as putting the BP.tpk on originally)

c: Got to my PC, start a CMD window and type 'sdb shell'

d: At the new prompt type "pkgcmd -u -t tpk -n com.samsung.health.samd.bp" to remove the BP app from my watch.

e: exit and turn off flight mode on my phone to resume and finush Tizen update.

f: Copy TPKpusher_v7_BPandECG_23_inside.apk from https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5087627&d=1598572937 to my phone.

g: Once phone and watch connected, made sure dugging was still on, on my watch, then installed the TPKpusher app. It seemed to work, but kept asking for permission to install, again and again. But it did work, and BP and ECG are on my watch.

h: Installed the .175 SHM (https://mde1.androidfilehost.com/dl/OgL5Rl-OhYbnPP04eemDZg/1601471655/8889791610682944709/SHM1.1.0.175.mod4.apk? over the .169 I had installed on my phone.

Bingo, both ECG and BP working, no data lost. Still can't sync with SH, but that's ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hugo_prado:
Here in Brazil the ECG is now enabled (recent update last week enabled the function and apps). EGC does not work at all, as the button not recognizes when touched.

I called the service desk twice, they said that the update had an issue and a new update will be released fixing that... I still think that it's an issue with the back button... but let's wait... I still have 8 months of warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Hbmtg:
Thanks for this. If I can add, I updated to 5.5.0.1 on my SM-R845U and since then, I am not able to uninstall the com.samsung.health.samd.bp pkg. I continue to get a "Operation not allowed" error in sdb shell. Perhaps this is limited to the R840/845 variants as anyone successfully getting back BP after the update seems to be using a R820/825?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] liquidguru:
Yes, that's why I aborted my initial update to 5.5.0.1, as I read that it was difficult to uninstall that BP pkg. I got rid of it first. Having said that, it did give me a strange message, I thought it may not have gone, but it had disappeared from my watch, so all good..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Bi0haZarD:
Kalispera file Thano!

We have the same setup indeed, just i'm using xiaomi phone, so 1st step is to follow the 1st video URL in order to change CSC to either XAR to have working samsung pay and ecg only, because FDA only approved ecg but not bp...or to KOO to have most recent updates earlier than all other CSC's plus the ability to have both ecg and bp working. (Without Spay)

The 2nd step doesn't work for me because the apk4tpk method unfortunately ONLY works with Samsung phones, NOT Samsung tablets though, i used the pc method (bp.tpk with separate ecg.tpk) since i'm using a xiaomi phone and i have both bp and ecg working.

But as of yesterday, our dear friend adfree has posted all new CSC's that started receiving tizen 5.5 and...EUR (Greece) is listed there so you shouldn't need to change CSC to receive the latest update...but...

I have tried the new 5.5 and have noticed a lot of battery drain, compared to 4.0.0.8 so i rolled back to that version and i get decent battery life plus bp and ecg working properly with latest shm from caravana. I am now on XAR CSC btw, previously on KOO.

Good afternoon everyone!

Is there any idea when this will be supported with other Android phones? I have a OnePlus 7 Pro and a Galaxy Watch 3 and I would greatly appreicate being able to use the Health Monitor and the ECG feature. I know that I currently use all the other Samsung Health related functions, so its a little puzzling to me that this would not be a feature I could utilize. . .
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] thanito:
Thank you for the detailed post file!

To be honest, as I said I got the notification for the firmware update but I did not proceed because I saw that the changelog only mentioned fall detection and vo2max but not bp or ecg. I also read that ecg supposedly only works when paired with Samsung phones, so I guess the Greek version may not include either of those features and therefore I am thinking of sideloading them.

Hello,

A simple question. I am on a non-Samsung phone, with R820 44mm watch and Tizen 4.0.0.7. Using sideloaded BP.tpk.

Now Wearable app prompts the Tizen update to 5.5.0.1

1) Will BP stop working after the update?

2) If it does, will there be a way to sideload it back?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Blenky:
My Active2 (with CSC XAR) had another update this evening. Not sure what it was for - only small about 20Mb. Software version R820XXU1CT14/R8200XA1CT14.

However it again replaced the dual BP\ECG tpk with the ECG one - argh!

However this time it only took about 15 mins to remove the ECG app and transfer over the dual one!
