[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
It will auto update on its own, you can't force an old version to remain, I haven't seen users lose connection with the watch but a lot failed to pair with newer app version...

So if you pair in old version, and update, you're still connected, it was a theory of mine and it worked for few that tested it and hopefully it works for many to come...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
I'll update then, just to be sure I will first create a security copy, I'll also reach if anything goes wrong, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Will it also work the same if I update the plugin?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Should be, they both constantly demand updates, if you reset the watch, it's unlikely you can pair with new versions of wearable and plugin so you follow the downgrade steps, once paired, upgrade all...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Th

Thank you Dante, everything went as expected, now everything is up to daate
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
I am deeply sorry for so many questions I only want to know something else, if when trying to update wearable it says that the package firm is different from the one installed what should I do? uninstall the current version and install the updated ver. or stay like this to avoid permanent unpair with my watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dragonish5100:
do you know what version they used? struggling to get this to work after it previously worked last year
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
I'm having a similar issue, I can't update because it says the sign (firma) of the apk is different from mine and that I have to un install to ve able to update, I fear I might lose connection to my watch if I do so
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dragonish5100:
my problem was that it was registered but wouldnt connect so i reset and tried to re-add like i did a year or so ago and it all worked.

the new app says my phone isn't compatible. this will 100% be the last samsung product i buy
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
May I ask what your phone is?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dragonish5100:
p30 pro, i have got it registered!

com.sec.android.app.shealth_6.18.7.005-6187005_minAPI26(arm64-v8a,armeabi,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com

com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_2.2.42.21083061-2121083061_minAPI18(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com

com.samsung.android.waterplugin_2.2.11.21080251-121080251_minAPI23(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com

are the ones i used that are from august 2021 and i finally got it registered.

Install all 3, add your samsung account to the samsung health, once logged in stick it in airplane mode and register the watch 4, at some point it says it can't connect, turn your wifi on for this. it'll finalise and you can then update.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Ok, the same as me, you use a huawei phone, I initially conected through Samsung health with a modded ver. Of wearable, you see (not sure if u know), Samsung *literally* rejects every single huawei phone doesn't matter if it has or not gms, so someone moddified this apk by disassembling it and manually removing the line that forbids huawei phones to connect and then reasembled the apk again so people can use it. I currently have that version of wearable with a pending update because when I try to install the new versión of wearable it says that the sign is different so I have to uninstall my current version so I can use the newer one. My fear is that by uninstalling it I will permanently loose connection to my watch, I updated the plugin with no problem at all after some help, but for this I definetly need the help of @Dante as I have not that much experience with apk and their behavior, I only download them but have never been involved with that kind of cose, just hope he sees this and knows what should we do
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
The app itself will complain because it's self installed, go to playstore and install the updates from there, hopefully it works...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
As a new huawei user I only use apks, including that one as I do not have play store, so is anything more I can try?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] browntiger2:
Ratz, have an issue SHM.MOD.Companion can not connect with S22 to GW6.

adb connect xxxxx : port <- fails not matter what I do, PC/Andoid etc

adb pair xxxxx: pairPort pairCode succeeds.

SHM Mod pair works, but not shm mod connect.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I keep forgetting that no playstore, but if you could install gms (it may need root), it will definitely solve your problems, alternativly, you need to find a store app that can install apps without stating self installed...

I'll look into this to see if it's possible to install apps without showing its source...

I might forget though because I have so many things to work on...

On pc

Adb pair ip:port

Then enter pair code

Then

Adb connect ip:port

On companion, you tap on wireless debugging, enter all details to pair, dialog auto-close on success, you can connect with ip and port you see inside wireless debugging...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
I see, if you find a way of an app store that can work around that issue please pinge me so I can give it a try, meanwhile I'll look for alternatives. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] badabing2003:
If what you're looking for is the setting installed by Play Store Market

The equivalent of adb install -i "com.android.vending" -r <pkg>

I believe this app can do it.

GitHub - fcaronte/KingInstaller: Porting of KingInstaller get from GitLab by annexhack

Porting of KingInstaller get from GitLab by annexhack - fcaronte/KingInstaller

github.com

Apologies if this is not what you are looking for.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Pinging you to try what @badabing2003 suggested

This might work, it should show app installed by market instead of file manager or others (I find this a ridiculous thing any company checks, source doesn't matter if apk checksums pass)

But does Huawei have that vending package?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Honestly I am quite new to this "world" of apk and workarounds for google in huawei so I don't really understand the steps I should follow or what Is what Dante and you mean by showing source. I am only trying to update my wearable version to the newest available, as I said the problem is the sign (firma) of the apk that doesn't allow me to install the update, therefore I would need to uninstall the mod to install the official ver. the thing is that by doing so I might not be able to connect to my watch anymore, if what you are suggesting can help me fix this issue then can you please give some thorough steps to avoid doing anything wrong, I would be very thankful.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] badabing2003:
Try the following, and sorry for referring to a tool for a different purpose, which happens to have the functionality to install apk with force (ie can downgrade) and set the market flag.

If this fails, then the version you have installed is signed with a different certificate than the one you're trying to install.

This needs to be done on the PC

1- Download a single executable PixelFlasher (you can see the Github link in my signature)

2- Browse and point to where you have Android Platform Tools installed on your PC (if you don't have it already, there is a link next to it)

3- Connect your phone to the PC (I assume you have enabled adb on your phone, if not please do so) and hit the scan button, your phone should be listed, select it.

4- Choose Install APK from menu or toolbar, and answer YES to the prompt to set Play Store Ownership.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
I

I was reading the description, so only to be sure, this does not require root right? To what I understand from the GitHub page is an app that when installed will allow me to emulate gms so i can install the new wearable app without the restriction I got even if I'm using a Huawei, is that right?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Thanks! I will try it and ask if anything calls my attention. Just to provide more info it helps you understand the issue about the sign of the wearable mod for Huawei this is the one I currently have installed
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
If you have mod installed, that's a completely different story, you will never be able to update the mod on your own, the person that made the mod has to update it or provide a way to update it...

Hence why mods to are mostly abandoned with apps that have cloud link...

I thought you installed stock version from apkmirror and you were saying there is a check on source, find the examples below to understand:

You will lose the pair connection whether you do it now or later, wearable mods don't last too long...

So uninstall the mod, install an older version of wearable and plugin and follow the steps I provided, they worked for many so far that asked for my help...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Please remove the drive link, I don't want users to follow a non-working solution when searching the thread, they already confirmed to me that downgrading pairs their watch and updating does not disconnect anything...

And thank you @badabing2003 for the help you provided but it seems we both misunderstood everything, but I learned something new from you, thank you again ♡
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Ok, im sorry i'll delete right now
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] badabing2003:
Pleasure to have been able to help out a little, your tools along with the support you provide are immense using the Samsung Watch with non Samsung phones.

I'm hoping that we will be able to use IHRN (Irregular Heart Rhythm Notification) on Non-Samsung phones in all regions (Watch 5 Pro)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Perfect, that seems more straightforward, will just make a backup to recover everything one the update is done, thank you both for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
No worries, here to help,

I will attach again the last solution for you:

And pair using Samsung Health, it should work... keep me updated...

But IHRN is already working now with shm mod 1.2.1.009 Watch and phone for everyone, you don't have it?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
I will keep you updated, i'm far from home rn, will start around 2 p.m (latin america)

Your help is certainly unvaluable, thank you for all the support
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] badabing2003:
I'm on Watch 5 Pro, don't I need to have One UI update to have this feature?

I haven't noticed anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Not at all, I removed the WearOS 4 restriction, so IHRN should be there for you now, as long you have installed 1.2.1.009 watch and phone, it will work, you'll find it on the phone, ECG tab...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] badabing2003:
I'll be damned, thank you, thank you, thank you .

I had 1.2.1.009, didn't realize that it was all there in SHM waiting for me to activate it.

(y)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
I am currently pairing, i'll tell you if anything goes wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
I have already updated everything and works, I really appreciate all the help you have been giving me. Finally I would like to know will I ever be able to sync from the samsung health (watch) to samsung health (phone)?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Everything should sync
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Will keep trying then, is not yet working
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Samsung health is latest on your phone, not mod?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
That is right, installed from apkmirror

Perhabs turning the watch off and turning it back on fixes the issue
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
You could try that, ou could also try setting up setfeatures, it may help, but for that, you need to install shm mod companion
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Oh, I use it and already installed both companion and shm mod on bot phone and watch, will restart and keep you updated
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
You can clear Samsung Health data and sign in again, it could be Samsung Health did not initiate things correctly...

But restart first and see if it works...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Restarting the watch didn't work, Will erase data from health
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
It is quite strange, wearable, plugin and samsung health are updated, tried restarting the watch and erasing all data from samsung health, logged back in and the watch appears as connected but doesn't sync. Does the buying location of either the watch or the phone affect the ability to sync?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Buying?

Also, try getting phone logcat, connect your phone to pc, phone developer mode on with USB debugging on as well, open terminal at adb location and type

Adb devices

You should see your device listed with a serial, if not, look at your phone and allow connection...

Next type

Adb logcat > log.txt

Logging started, I want you to open Samsung health and pull down to sync (watch is connected to your phone, obviously galaxy wearable is saying connected)

Once sync completes, ctrl+c to stop logcat, send me the log.txt file in DM, don't post it here...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] rathian:
installed the update on my Galaxy Watch 4 classic (on wearos 3.5) and my oppo Find N.. no issues found.. thanks @Dante63!

For those having issues, do check if ur Wear OS app is able to auto start and is running in the background.. everything depends heavily on wear OS app to communicate between the watch and the phone..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] p51d007:
Been runnin' the app for a long time, NOT ONE issue!

I have "heard" the watch 6 functions all work on most phones.

Anyone know about that? If not, I'm still holding out on the watch 6

until the master, Dante63 gets the app redone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
It works on my watch6
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] devaponnadsm:
But where the data is stored? Maybe there is a way to restore. If it's stored in phone, the probably it can be restored somehow

Those who change ROMs frequently lose it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Encrypted inside the app data...

You can back it up but it will never decrypt if you restore it because of many factors...

For example, you're backing up data that says "I already did a handshake with Samsung Health" or " I never did a handshake with Samsung Health" alongside a generated DUID that is set and time sensitive...

If your data has no handshake, and Samsung Health shakes hand, data is overwritten, if there is no handshake it should be fine because value is null, but the DUID and time, you can never have it fixed, it's like IMEI, always changing and unique, even if you did a backup and restore, the app itself has a listener and broadcast service, alongside Samsung Health listening to it as well, it will regenerate DUID for the app...

Point is, you can't backup the app, you can export ECG pdf files... you can sync BP data to Samsung Health...

I already mentioned there is smartswitch now but it seems to be under implementation because it's in the app but not active yet...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] tulio.marin:
Hi, which version of Color OS are you using on your OPPO FIND N ? I couldn't install with Color OS 13....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] rathian:
Using color OS 13.1.. I used the steps below to get the watch working.. the key is to give auto start and associated start permission to wear OS, and give permission to the watch plugin..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] p51d007:
No mod app needed? Or the current mod app works ok?

I've been holding out on the 6 until you made the mod work. I'm NOT buying a sammy phone. I'm sticking wtih my pixel 7 pro.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Mod works
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Teknodad1974:
GW6 Classic update!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] tulio.marin:
Perfect ! Let me try here the procedure. Tks!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] p51d007:
YOU are the man! I'll start seeing about getting one.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] tulio.marin:
Worked! Thanks a lot... :-) BTW, I couldn't configure the Google Wallet, on the watch to use my credit cards, did you have success on this? The wallet try to access the wallet on phone without success.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] rathian:
I didn't use Google wallet on my watch since the phone is convenient enough for me.. so I'm not sure how to solve the issue..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] pedrera:
Hi

I've try to install the mod on my samsung watch 6 using your toold, but nothing works especially while using your bat file to install app on the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] robbieraw:
Been a Samsung owner and fan boy for years now but wanted to try something else. Coming from the Samsung Fold4 to the Pixel Fold I knew I'd face a few challenges but didn't realise key features like the BP and ECG on my Samsung Watch 6 would no longer work. I fortunately came across this thread and followed the detailed instructions that you provided and all is working as expected again. I just wanted to thank you so much for helping out and your hard work is greatly appreciated. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] p51d007:
Watch 6 classic, Pixel 7 pro.

I must have missed one of the instructions. Finally got everything installed, but the ECG & BP wouldn't work.

Apps were on the watch, but kept saying check the phone. Then it dawned on me I hadn't connected the app

on the PHONE to let it sync with the watch. After I did that, then everything worked!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] pedrera:
As the install from the Phone#1 won't work, I've installed the mod on the watch from my computer using adb fastboot and wearos tool. And it works!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] labello29:
Hi Dante how's it going? I wanna ask you one thing, it possibile to detach / hide wear monitor from Galaxy store? Thank you so much
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
The new updated ADB auto didn't work?

Install from phone#1 means what?

Uninstall it, you don't need it if you're using the mod...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] labello29:
Yea but I always using your mod...so...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
The stock package is com.samsung.android.shealthmonitor

WearOS mod package is com.samsung.android.shealthmonitors

You either have a tizen mod installed which have identical package name to stock or have stock installed, not sure about the dummy package...

You need to tell me what you have installed exactly...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] labello29:
Hi ok here the version what I have
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
It's written WearOS
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] labello29:
Yes I downloaded it from shm mod companion. Anyway , the problem is not of your mod monitor, but the second one (Ecg tile enabler & Linker) when I Uninstalled that it disappeared from samsung store about update. I tried also to install separately update appears only when I'm going to install Ecg tile enabler & Linker.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Will fix that, now things make sense, I doubt I can break market link but I'll see what I can do about it...

To show the tile, you need to have the stock shm package and it should have ECG data as well, and since many can't use stock shm, this dummy app i created sends a signal and tells Samsung Health there is ECG data, it shows the tile, if you tap on it, it will call the dummy app and the dummy app calls WearOS shm mod...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] labello29:
I understand , but since I know you're project I never installed the stock version, only your mod because I seeing the difference your made a great things . . Anyway it's not a problem I'll back to install ecg tile enabler & Linker from shm mod companion . My question was about hide your mod you know.. Thank you for your job sir 👍
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I can't hide but I can set version to be very high, you'd never see update as an option, but if you go to the app on galaxy store, you'll see uninstall and open app, even though it's ECG Tile Enabler and Linker, will do that tomorrow and push it into companion, I'll set the code to be 9999999999 & leave the name as 1.0.0
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Sorry to bother you there, would you kindly share what version you installed that worked for you...?

Some users ask about what version and I just tell them to try but it would be great to tell them which version works directly...

Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] labello29:
But if I go on the app on galaxy store and Uninstall it, but then galaxy store goes to Uninstalled the entire package ( Ecg tile enabler and Linker). How it's possible I just guessing this thing
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
Sure, no problem, just for you to know the link is from apkmirror but is the one it worked for me:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-gear/samsung-gear-2-2-56-23071861-release/
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
With which plugin version, or was it latest plugin...?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Because both ECG tile enabler & linker and SHM have the same package name, even tizen shm mod...

3 apps will conflict Because each app has a different signature but common name...

To hide the update however, I just need to set the version to extremely high number and today was a long day at work and after that I had an awful headache and nausea, I didn't sit in front of the laptop to release an update, maybe I will do it now, feeling Slightly better...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
It was the last version of the plugin, as a sidenote I followed your steps of downgrading both wearable and plugin from apkmirror. Also not sure if it is important but also downloaded APKUpdater also from apkmirror to help me notify whenever I've a new update for any apk
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] labello29:
Okay, sir, but have your Sunday free it's not an emergency
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I'm assuming you have connected directly and not through Samsung Health?

Too late, already pushed the update :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] joa3000:
I actually followed your steps by the book, uninstalled apk and apps of plugin, samsung health and wearable, installed old versions of both plugin and wearable (the ones i installed were versions that got released in a similar date), installed the latest version of Samsung health and when the watch appeared in the list to pair i turn un airplane mode, it started wearable, when already in wearable deactivated airplane mode for a bit until *Wearable* recognized the watch, before pressing on the watch turned on airplane mode again and followed the standard process, once the watch was fully set closed all the apps from my phone, updated plugin and wearable to the latest versions (using the links provided by the app I refered to before: APKUpdater. Although you don't really need this app, you can also follow the next steps) Turn off airplane mode, enter to wearable again and it asks you to update, it will update the plugin on its own, after the instalation is done you go to the 3 horizontal lines in the top left corner (it is possible that you find some sort of chinese leters, don't mind it, it just says "Galaxy Wearable") then go to the gear symbol in the top right corner, right over your watch's name . Once in there go to the section "About Galaxy wearable", it is the last option, once you push there it opens some sort of menu that lists in this order the following apps:

Galaxy wearable

Version x.x.xx.xxxxxxxx

Galaxy Watch (whathever is the number of your watch: 4, 5, etc) Manager

Version x.x.xx.xxxxxxxx

Galaxy Watch

Wear OS by Google

Version x.x.xx.xxxxxxxx

(the x represent the actual version)

If beside "Open code licenses" you don't see any other button then everything should be up to date, if you want to make sure you can check online for the latest version avaliable to see if it's the same you have installed.

Really hope this kind of guide works

PD: Hope you feel better Dante​
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Thank you for the detailed information, I will share it with someone who haven't succeeded, if it works, I will put it in the pairing section with your name on it, i don't have a Huawei device to test, I can only share a theory that may work (and glad it did) but no one shared how it was done, I was left with my theory to share...

And thank you for your wishes, I'll call it a day and rest...
