Hey guys.. Just opened my brand new gear for Christmas and can't figure out how to update to the latest US firmware. Thanks! Merry Christmas.

You need to pair it with your phone first then use the Gear Manager on your phone to search for the update.
I was able to update mine by downloading the UK firmware from the consolidated post here (V700XXUAMK7_V700OXAAMK7_HOME.tar.md5) and using Odin.
Anyone else experiancing issues with samsung apps, with service not available or just general non-downloading. Cant get the gear manager
I can't seem to update as well... It hangs up on connecting to server. I'm on at&t gs4 rooted 4.4.2 kot49h Google edition ROM. Merry Christmas everyone!

There's probably too much downloads going on now on the server... Try again latter or try to update manually by connecting your gear to your computer with a micro usb cable and using kies

I did try it earlier and I think they fixed the problem because I can connect easily and surely now. Usually its like 50/50 for me.

It seems with this update they improved audio and overall responsiveness from what i've noticed. Haven't had any connection issues other than having to run triangle away after flashing a new rom.
Has anyone in Cleveland area received update
Haven't received anything in Philadelphia, pa as of tonight. I'm extremely impatient and have been expecting it since yesterday morning, but no dice. I'd sit back and hang right, this will probably be a long time coming.

That's cool are there any cons to doing manual install.....do you still keep root....or do u unroot go back to stock then flash.
You have to be completely stock or the update will fail. You will lose root but I believe you can reroot. It will trip the warranty flag which is not reversible. No cons I've seen yet.

I got my gear last week for Christmas but I don't know if I want to keep it. It's pretty pointless at the minute but I've read that if I change the firmware to the uk one it will be more useful. Can someone please point me in the right direction on how to do this or a root. I'm an extreme newbie and have no clue how any of this software stuff worms
This is what I used with great success
