Hey all, recently got gw 5 and loving it. I was able to install SHM mod and companion without any issues using ADB over WiFi.

When I try to sideload any other APK, I'm met with an install error as though it thinks the file isn't an APK.

Has anyone resolved this on their watch before?

java.io.IOException: Install failed: Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NOT_APK: Failed to parse /data/app/vmdl1359707821.tmp/ base.apk: Failed to load asset path /data/app/ vmdl1359707821.tmp/base.apk]
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Either you're installing something exist (the error should've been different though) or you're installing something with bad signature or no signature at all...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dobsgw:
The latter probably as it's a GitHub release of a telegram client

Happened with WhatsApp beta as well though so not sure
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Then sign it and try to see if it works...

Hi,

I just recently got the the galaxy watch 5 pro, i have an Oppo 5X.

Can this work with that? does this only help with the health apps or is there any solutions to get the LTE working as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
It should work and allow you to use BP & ECG... LTE depends on your service provider...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] romripper:
So I have the new beta on my Watch 5 Pro.

One UI 5.0 Watch

Software version R920XXU1ZWF1SM-R920NKAXA

Wear OS 4.0

There Is a newer patch for SHM Watch MOD then the one I have installed.

I can not get ADB to work over wi-fi.

Everything appears correct but I can not get it to work period.

From my phone I have tried to use the following to sideload:

SHM MOD Companion

GeminiMan WearOS Manager

and

Easy Fire Tools.

Everything reports the Watch does not have debugging on.

Not sure what to do?

The Watch shows wireless bedugging on with a ip and port showing.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] vskksaxm:
Hi, sorry to bother but I wanted to ask a question. I used your mods when I got my watch 4 a year ago and ecg worked fine. I stopped using it for a while but recently tried using it again, just to see it completely broken. Either gets almost no readings or the line jumps all over the screen telling me to stay still. Heart rate reading on top jumping from 60 to 130 and back, even tho if I go back to the HR display its completely fine. I updates all your apps just in case, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas or is my watch broken somehow? Any help appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I will try to add wireless debugging today for WearOS manager and shm mod companion...

This is google genius "security" solution, it made a lot of developers frustrated including myself...

You see, despite debug over Wi-Fi does not work until you allow incoming connection, that is not secure, they removed that and decided to use wireless debugging, you need to pair the watch, then and only then you can connect to watch entering IP address and port number that changes every time...

You can temporarily use PC adb, or wait for my release...

1. Change watch strap and try measuring again...

2. Turn it off, gently wash the watch under baby warm water, press the probe button (the button you place your finger on it)... that should clear any oils and dirt... after that dry it with tissue and leave it to dry more on its own for 30 mins at least... power it on and try measuring again...

One of these two might help in making it work correctly again... if not, probe might be damaged....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] romripper:
Thanks for the info!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Harshith KJ:
Hey! Firstly amazing job and thank you for putting in the effort and your time in developing this mod. And I wanted to ask if I can delete the SHM Mod Companion on my Watch 4? But obviously not deleting the Samsung Health Monitor app. And I wanted to ask if Samsung Health also syncs ECG and shows it on the app along with Heart rate and Stress. Cuz I've only seen Blood Pressure being shown on your video and I personally haven't tried Blood Pressure yet.

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] devaponnadsm:
Yes, you can delete the SHM Mod Companion app on both Watch and Phone.

BP Sync is working fine. ECG is not integrated with Samsung Health, so not possible. Anyway, reports are always available in Samsung Health Monitor app.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] waldfee123:
Hi, is there a solution for Huawei Handys without Play Services? (P40 Pro, P40, P50...) I be tried many things but at least my watch isn't responding... I can connect via Bluetooth... I can connect via Samsung health app... But my watch shows still the menu with welcome choose your language...

Is there a solution? What can I try?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
GMS (Google services) are required...

Usually for Huawei, you connect through Samsung Health...

If the watch is stuck on welcome, hard reset it by holding both side buttons, when you see rebooting press the top button several times till you enter boot menu, tap once to navigate, long press to select...

Uninstall WearOS by Google... clear data of Samsung Health and remove any Bluetooth pair from Bluetooth settings...

Connect to the watch through Samsung Health...

If that doesn't work, search Google, YouTube or go to Huawei forums, there might be a solution that has been tested and working...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] svegait:
Hi guys , i have a samsung galaxy watch 4 and Huawei Xhonor 8 , I cant install the wearable samsung app? Please recomend me an alternative
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Teknodad1974:
I have a 5 pro. Updated to 5.0 ui. Blood pressure doesn't work 😭 anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
You should search Google about it, or Huawei forum, the solution presented in here is for pairing problems and it's from reddit, after discussing with the OP of the solution, I wasn't able to do much but to share what i know, the OP found a way to pair since i don't own a Huawei...

How so...? The sensor stopped...? I heard they released Beta 2 to address issues in Beta 1...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Teknodad1974:
I'm in the United States. I installed 5.0 not beta

It was the real update through watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Oh... update is out already... odd thing is Beta 2 is out as well 🤔...

Nevertheless, please explain to me the problem so I can try helping you getting BP back
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] wr3cckl3ss1:
Do you have a build number or can you provide a screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Teknodad1974:
View attachment 5934209
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] wr3cckl3ss1:
This is Beta 2. Still a beta build. This was pushed out to help the abomination that was BETA 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Teknodad1974:
Never given option to allow.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Go back to PC adb method or use Wear installer 2 for now or other tools... I'm (and unfortunately) rewriting my app adb logic because I used a github library that does not support pairing (aka wireless debugging)...

Wireless debugging needs to pair with the device, then you connect to the watch through a specific port...

Wear installer 2 has pairing...

If you will use PC, then the command should be

adb connect ip:port code

Place watch ip, port and pairing code...

Google removed debug over Wi-Fi for no valid security reasons & concerns, it's all claims for more secure debugging 🤷🏻‍♂️...

I'm working as much as I can, whenever I have a spare time even to release an update for the companion and WearOS manager, bare with me, and sorry for the hustle...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] romripper:
I did try Wear Installer 2 as a last resort from my phone, I could not get it to work with the beta either.

PC for now seems to be it, worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I'm truly sorry, I didn't expect debug over Wi-Fi would be removed and what is worse is me not doing a proper homework and checking everything about the github lib (team activity, library missing features)...

I used the library because it would reduce some workload on me, allowing me to focus on trying to make more things for you guys...

Nevertheless, I will rewrite it, already done from pairing part, just need to carry on and do other parts as well...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] romripper:
I am also on a Watch 5 Pro Beta 2 software (same as your photos).

BP works fine for me still, just tested it.

I did a update to the watch plug-in during Beta 1.

I had to use my pc to push the plug-in as all the other ways now fail due to having to pair.

Perhaps you might want to start over from scratch with Dante63's plug-ins ect?

Nothing to be sorry for. The main feature BP works!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Drop the dependency of a github library that i used and write my own logic using libadb.so

I'm hoping it would be as simple as replacing code...

To be honest, going towards that direction may even allow me to implement debug over Bluetooth (since that's still there)...

But it will take time... my goal is to quickly replace the library, debug over Wi-Fi remains working and make wireless debugging work as well...

Anything else, and any improvements will be added later...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Teknodad1974:
Thanks for the explanation you are Awesome. But unfortunately it's beyond my comprehension to do it the computer adb way.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] romripper:
I thought the computer way would be difficult however it was super easy.

Search here on XDA for Wear OS Tools ( for Windows).

Read a little then go for it, super easy !

Released SHM MOD Companion 4.0.0 - Watch and Phone

Dropped GitHub ADB Repo Plugin and re-written the code to have a New ADB logic, written by me from scratch...

Added Wireless Debugging Support...

Improved ADB stability and performance...

Updated permissions section...

Added Refresh button on the main page and watch page to check for updates again...

Updated instructions on the watch section, adding visuals alongside text should help you even more...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Ok, everyone, you know the drill by now,

I started looking into phone shm (version 1.1.4.002), and here is what I observed on UI:

* A notice for dropping Android 7 and 8 support (not fully dropped though):

As for the functionality (Code), here is what I observed:

* Notice popup to show the message...

* Not sure why they added another update popup check, there is already one but they added another, this will be removed...

* The rest is minor code cleaning here and there and few lines added, nothing else significant...

They could've announced it on a website, or have written an article but they decided to show you this notice...

This notice will be seen only on Android 7.0 & 8.0 and no, i will not be able to support those two versions, not until that date, Samsung will probably erase big portion of the code and add other types of code that would make the app not work on Android 7.0 & 8.0 as intended, so better consider an upgrade for the phone!

I will not give this a priority, seeing this update as only notice and nothing else means I can take my time a bit with other important things, such as companion and geminiman wearos manager...

That's all folks...

MOD Status: in-progress...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Xecular:
I just get the error "No compatible watch found" when I try to use the modded health monitor
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Share a screenshot of what you installed on your phone and watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Teknodad1974:
I installed BP on my 4 classic But unable to find BP tile for my list. Now I have to install BP back on my 5 pro ! Dante63 great work on the tool took me a few tries but got it to work on the 4 classic! Companion and Health Monitor installed on 4 classic.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Xecular:
Apologies, I reinstalled the modded health monitor after waiting a day and confirmed it now works. I have both the mod companion and modded health app for the watch and phone installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] carlese:
Hi guys, when I click on developer mode on Samsung health it asks for access code, what should I enter? Never asked it before..
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] carlese:
Not working for me, I put the SamsungHealth folder in my download folder but if I tap the bulld number all I see is developer mode and not the set features button.. This is really weird!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Teknodad1974:
Is your Samsung build number the same as mine?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] carlese:
It's fixed now, I uninstalled Samsung Health and tried again.. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] nicoco19:
Hello everyone,

I upgraded from Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic to Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and wanted to know if this method still worked to have the EKG and Blood Pressure functions?

Thank you in advance for your feedback and have a nice weekend everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
If you used the companion, it would've worked, as long Samsung Health is running, it's less likely to update and read from your storage, you need to force close and clear cache (this is done with one click in companion, including creating of the folder SamsungHealth and its file FeatureManagerOn)...

Yes, it works fine with 4 and 5 and I'm betting 6 as well...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Neil_Armstrong_:
Hi guys,

i tried the "Watch4 Pairing issues on Galaxy Wearables" guide for my new Watch 5 but no matter what i do, the Galaxy Wearable force close or stay blank after pressing pair on both Watch and Phone, is that normal ? the Watch stays on "Check your phone to complete setup."

The bluetooth status says connected but the wear stays in the setup message thing

I have Galaxy Watch5 Manager app and Galaxy Watch Plugin (and Samsung Health) installed but it doesnt seems to do anything more. SHM latest apk from apkmirror force close when trying to open

I assume it's not related to a phone reboot or watch reset

I use a Oneplus 8 Pro unlocked bootloader, rooted, safetynet pass, with Android 13 (OOS13) european firmware/device, every Samsung app is ticked in the Magisk DenyList and all permissions granted for every app

Do you guys have a workaround ? i read few pages above that bootloader unlocking and root isnt really appreciated by Samsung ? would it be my issue ?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] kaball76:
Hi I updated the phone companion to the latest version and now I can not connect to the watch to update the companion on the watch

I get the below error all the time. And if I need the new option wireless debugging I get connected but the bottom options to sideload the application is not enable. Can someone help please
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Port 5555, not 55555
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Honestly, I haven't seen any issues as yours before, your phone does have google services, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Neil_Armstrong_:
Hi, thanks for taking time to answer

The phone has everything working fine as hell, i'm having the whole google ecosystem inbuilt

The more i dig and ask on the internet, the more i start to think it's software related... Gotta make a factory reset first, then relock the bootloader, and even try a downgrade to Android 12/11 to see at what level it's breaking the Galaxy Wearable app..

Well just for the record i've got crash logs from /data/system/dropbox/ if you wanna take a look for curiosity

One has been edited for the Health app (i guess ?) and the other comes from the Wearable app
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
I had a look, they both are crashing at method companion from what seems...

1. Where did you get your apks?

2. Whitelist wearable and plugin in battery optimization, it might be dying...

3. Since your device is rooted, is your device brand, build and all shown correct or unknown or blank?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Neil_Armstrong_:
Downloaded Galaxy Wearable from Play Store at first, then tried the latest apk from apkmirror

Already ticked "Don't optimize" for Galaxy Wearable, Watch5 manager, and SHealth

safetynet ok, Build number, baseband, kernel looks good to me. Model name is IN2023 which might confuse the app if GWearable waits for a brand name, idk

Thanks a lot for taking a look at it ! I think i gotta hard reset the phone instead of flooding xda forums
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Device build, model, etc sometimes are used and if it is unknown or odd it would throw a null and break the app...

Don't use apkmirror as it will not always work, use wearable and let wearable download the plugin that is compatible
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Neil_Armstrong_:
When talking about plugin, you are talking about Galaxy Watch5 Plugin, right ? I think i've seen another app shadow installed with plugin in its name, but can't see it from the app list (i use App manager to spot it).. a grey icon in my memory

Btw, Play Store now says Galaxy Wearable isnt compatible to my phone :clown_emoji:
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Verify your device build.prop, everything is valid, avoid using safetynet fix other than kdrag0n... some of them would set device unknown to force basic attestation and pass safetynet but break many apps... kdrag0n safetynet fix does not affect any of that, if you're using that, then great, you need to find a build.prop of your device that is intact, and compare it with your device build.prop and see if it has been modified wrongly... once your device gives valid details, your problem would be resolved...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Neil_Armstrong_:
Well after relocking the bootloader, i'm getting through the setup steps like a pro, i'm waiting on the "Getting Google Account info... This might take a few minutes." screen actually

Working fine as hell now.... Time to get into your mod :D
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
First, Modding is not easy, it's not nice of you to say it's easy, in fact, whether the task is easy or not, you don't have the right to criticize the person offering it to you, show respect to the XDA Devs here (XDA rule: 2.3 Flaming / Lack of respect)...

Second, for the updates, well, I've been releasing them on the same day SHM update is released and have been doing it since December 2020 on Tizen Thread, this is WearOS thread, feel free to look at the changelog of SHM on Tizen thread to see how big the history of SHM MOD and amount of work that you considered to be easy, it's the second post you'll see the changelog, just like here...

And finally, you think it's just region and with an "easy modding" all is well...? Because it's more than that, I take it that you didn't really look at the features of this mod...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] dreamtheater39:
You've misunderstood me buddy....I meant samsung should allow it to be easily modded so that would only help them get more sales while they try to sort out the regulatory compliances.

Having these features blocked only dissuades people in unsupported regions from buying it. And my statement was in fact the contrary....that they make it so much harder to bypass these locks...and appreciating the work done here all the more in fact!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Forgive me in that case for being offensive a bit... Your statement implied that modding is easy or so as I understood...

As i recall, SHM is not developed by Samsung themselves but some company under samsung 🤔...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] williegomezt:
Thank you for all the work made here, I'm now able to use BP and ECP on my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] sorin800:
i don't know what i'm doing wrong but after i've installed the app on the phone and the apk on the watch it works once and after that it tells me to download the app. what am i doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] deathsonic18:
same here, i got the modded app (health with the M on top), when i go on it, it asks me to download the app. my phone bluetooth was disabled btw. tried reinstalling from bugjaeger a couple of times now.

using mod 1.1.0.171.apk

phone: pixel 4a (5g)

my watch4 software:

software version: R870XXU1BUH9

security version: ASKS V4.0 Release 20200806

andriod secuity patch level: 1 aug 2021

idk if this helps at all
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] hbahaie:
Thanks a lot for great Job (y)

I am going to buy a watch from a supported country, while my phone is a galaxy device bought from not supported country, will it works out of the box or i still need this modded apps?

@Dante63
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Do you have the MOD SHM (WearOS logo on it) installed on the phone? The watch4 SHM MOD needs the MOD on the phone...

No, you can use the original SHM unless your country doesn't have both ECG and BP, then use the MOD
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] deathsonic18:
I figured out why,

first install the phone.wearos.minisdk24-SHM.root.detection.county apk on your phone.

then install the shm modded app on watch4 :) worked for me now
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] navi7512:
Installed on watch (44m) with no issues. Worked fine and synced with phone successfully (Xiaomi Mi 10t pro)

Thanks for your job!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] sorin800:
I'll try it! Thanks

It's still not working i was able to use it once and after that the watch says to download the app..and the app on the phone shows me the results of the first ecg
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] hbahaie:
Thanks a lot Dante for prompt quick reply, unfortuantely i cannot get the idea, may be due to my weak english.

Indeed, i live in unsupported country, the watch from supported country (Galaxy watch 4 classic), but the phone (Galaxy Z Fold 3) from the unsupported country, will it work out of the box?

Thanks for your patientce.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Let me try explaining, Samsung Health monitor has BP and ECG and works at certain countries only, some countries get the message "this service is not avaliable in your country", some countries have only BP and some have only ECG...

If you want to know whether the country is supported or not, install the original SHM if you have Samsung and run it, tell me what you see
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] hbahaie:
i cannot find the SHM in galaxy store as my phone is unsupported country version. I didn't receive my watch yet, that is from a supported country, the question now, when i receive the watch, i will install the modded SHM on my phone, what about the watch? still need to go through installing modded apps on it or no need?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Then you just answered the question, you need the mod for the watch4 and the phone...

MOD communicates with MOD only, it can't communicate with original SHM...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] hbahaie:
thanks a lot for explanation, so it is better for me now to cancel the order of the foreign watch and buy a local one which is cheaper and will be under warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] Dante63:
Absolutely, getting it locally is better, but check other features like Spotify, playstore (China doesn't have it), and maybe Samsung Health features (like SpO2) and other apps, the apps that you want in the watch4...

Those are region controlled, you either buy the watch from a different country or (in the near future) change the watch CSC...

If locally, the watch4 has all the apps you need, then get it locally
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] lkw_dvm2010:
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I used the phone loading method and worked great. I thought at first it didn't work because I didn't realize there would be two separate tiles to start from.

I currently have a Sony Xperia Xz2 running android 10 with the Galaxy 4 classic 42mm. (I hope it will be easy to swap around as I have to buy a new phone in the next couple months)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] lkw_dvm2010:
I had this issue too. I thought it didn't work but problem was me. make sure you are using the samsung health monitor with the m on it (kinda subtle). also there are two different ECG tiles one works (uses modded SHM app) and one doesn't (uses original).
