Im a newbie here so bare with me. I follwed a tutorial from crobs808 easy step by step to intall android on my vogue to the T , i even used the suggested build on the tutorial.
I was able to make it work and installed everything ok on my device, but my problem now is that i can no longer go online or use my data. I don't know why but i can't surf the web, go on youtube, market, etc. The phone only makes/receives calls and text. My other problem is that when i connect the phone to the usb my pc does not recognize it. Any suggestions? by the way i wanted to switch to the 2.1 build from incubus26j
Thanks for the help.

check the modem app
and see if the connection went down
if not try a reboot
i have tried restarting the phone 10x already, took out the battery, soft reset and still nothing. I'm actually able to connect to my pc now but still no luck with my data? and how can i switch to the 2.1 build?

did u take a look at the app called modem?
i comes pre installed
also if you installed to nand
just follow the same procedure
ok, i was able to put in the 2.1 build in. All went fine...im going to wait and see if i can use data but if not any suggestions??
Try reinstalling or even re-flashing the .nbh file?
i did not flash anything exept that one time to unlock the phone. The first and now second time intalling these builds i did not flash anything. The tutorial says nothing about flashing anything....am i wrong? If so, how do i do it? and how/when do you flash nbh?
and i did check the modem app and it says its connected.....but still no data
everything works except data.....anyone?? Thanks
Hm..i have work internet, but market & Gmail doesn't work. Why? Modem App work well,i see my ip, at browser internet work.
Hi,
I got my Galaxy Gear. I have a Galaxy Nexus, but I found I cannot pair it with the gear. So the gear has never been paired with a phone.
Can I put a new ROM on it? Will it ask for pairing again after I put a new ROM on?
Or do I need to find someone to at least remove the annoying pairing request?
Best
Tom
Have you tried manually syncing it by going to the phone's bluetooth setting and syncing it there instead of using the Gear cradle against the back of the phone?
Ian B
I wonder if manually install the Gear manager on your phone if that will give you the functions. It should connect to Bluetooth fine.
That did not work. I installed apk from gear manager one by one (except the ones that didn't install), started gear manager and tried to pair manually. Galaxy Nexus indicated a paired gear device, but syncing did not work. So it was back to start..

Sorry, I did not understand.
How does writing the NFC tag help?
Also, I tried to flash the new MK7 rom with odin but after I brought the watch into download mode and started odin, selected firmware and clicked start, odin quickly returns and reports "succeed 0/ failed 0".

After a lot of trying, I finally managed to install the NULL_13 rom on the gear.
The last step of flashing the rom in recovery mode was especially difficult, since windows suddenly did
not recognize the watch like before, but only a Samung Android device and the driver did not work.
I had to switch to MacOS to use "adb push ..". That worked.
Thanks for all the hints.
So my tab 8.9 has been working flawlessly, with a bit of a anomaly and I factory reset to trying to install a new rom on it.
After a factory reset, I could not do the following:
Can`t install any new apps (The play store is nowhere to be found, only very old market is there which doesn`t work
Can`t update (Computer won`t recognize, yes installed and reinstalled kies, samsung drivers, etc none worked. Tried wifi, changing ip settings, all doesn`t work: It shows up as Modem and I can`t do anything with it)
Can`t add account (After resetting many times, it never asks me to add an account like it normally should, nor can I add them manually. No workaround that worked so far, tried adding via email adding, etc, on setting button add account does nothing)
Can`t flash (Odin, CWM both doesn`t work, Odin says not supported and CWM just crashes before it even starts, Can`t flash via PC as I cannot connect to it)
It CAN connect to wifi, run the old stock browser, and transfer apps apk via USB connect port I have. Thankfully it still works. I connect a thumb drive to the tab and transfer files that way.
So how can I fix this
I would just like to flash ICS of any version OR even just make it work normally via stock update.
On a side note, I`m not sure if all tab does this but mine when I`d try to connect to a wifi at a college, it`d show multiple wifi and won`t connect to any, while my laptop shows just one wifi.

you mentioned that your tab's model is SHW-M305W
so this probably why you can't install any ROM
ammmm you know what I actually installed a stock Samsung P7310 framework on my P7300 through odin
but couldn't install P7320's ROM cuz P7310 is closer to my tab in everything
my point is if you'd like, you should try different ROMs for different models
BUT BE CAREFUL THIS MIGHT BREAK YOUR DEVICE, I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE
have you tried to flash this ROM [ROM][ICS][STOCK][P7300/P7310][LQJ/LPV][Deodexed/Odexed] Final Build [14/1/14] D-Host
I'm suggesting it because it doesn't have model check before flashing, so you won't face status 7 while installing

I see!!! Thanks for the best answer ever. Good to know someone knows about this.
I tried to flash that exact one but I couldn't even start because Odin or CWM or PC method doesn't seem to work.
I searched but I couldn't really find a way to flash via just factory reset or from a usb stick.
How could I flash? Odin says unsupported version, telling me to do something I forgot for half an hour and rom manager just crashes on start.
I'll do that as soon as I can find a way to actually flash just via factory reset perhaps.

Uhh, Well I just installed it via rooting and then downloading superuser apk and rom manager apk and then loading it on to USB stick
then I installed the app but it seemed to crash.
It was the latest version of the rom manager or what the quick google search showed me.
I'm starting to think that it must be this SHW model's fault that it's not responsive to any conventional method.
I really would try to flash some other way if you or anyone could tell me how, that'd be excellent because it seems the only methods of flashing new roms on it seems like Odin, CWM, PC.
Thank you as always for even remotely giving any attention at all. I greatly appreciate it and I'd do it for you.

omg I'm so sorry for the late reply and I see that your account is disabled??
Hopefully I can get some response oh man.
I don't know any way to flash, if you could give me a way to flash these ones, I'll try them.
Odin says incompatible and rom manager crashes
If you could link me a way to flash somehow, I'll apply that method with your referred roms
Thanks a LOT
Hi !
I'm running into an issue here.
After trying to install Null_27 on the gear, then let letting it reboot, i was sent back to download mode. I can access the screen where you choose between "continue" "download" and "recovery". The later works just fine (TWRP2.7, if i got it right) with the fancy slinding lock and such, but selecting "continue" or "download", or rebooting without interruption just lead to the same "Downloading... Do not turn off target" screen.
The gear isn't seen by the phone (Note 3), and my computer doesn't seems to know what this is : Kies3 tries to connect, but finally give up, WonderShare recognize it as a LGE Nexus 4 while in recovery mode, GT-S5690 in download mode, and fails when trying to update drivers.
Window make a weird bleep when plugging it, and Odin doesn't even see it.
I followed theunlockr and xperiahtcrootingrom tutorials. I had to do a step involving a few minimal_adb_fastboot commands found at forum-generationmobiles.net/t73015-recoverysm-v700-null_-twrp-recovery-v03-gear-edition-mk7-beta-22122013" at some point, but globally everything worked out fine (i was able to install and play Fruit Ninja and a random flappy bird clone, that was cool, i should have stopped there) before trying to install Null.
The file is Null_27, and seemed to install flawlessly, but the last log line reads "assert failed : write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img"."/dev/block/mmcblk0p5").
It might be useful to know that I said yes when prompted to wipe things before install.
So i'm basically stuck without an OS to load (I believe), but failing to install a new, or communicate with my computer. Is there anything I can do to make the install succed, or turn the watch back to its useless stock state ?
I'm willing to provide any useful piece of information, and can browse the files to see exactly what's gone, if someone guides me.
You can guess i don't have much knowledge about coding and such, so please keep it as simple as possible !
Thank you for reading, and please forgive my grammar, i'm not a native speaker.
i have the exact same problem
i'm normally pretty good with rooting my devices but i did something tonite that i cannot figure out. i have done the same thing as the original poster and am at a total loss. please if anyone has any advice please help.
thanks.

i was able to download a original firmware for the galaxy gear and used odin to get it back to the orignal state. sucks i lost all the work i put in tonite but at least my watch is working again. i'll mess around more tomorrow and try and get null 27 to work. hope this helps you
Null_22.1 is the latest
That null27 is an old test firmware (more than 6mths old)
Just get the latest from the website: http://nullproject.net/
Check the tutorial threads here on how to fix
No os fix: flash stock firmware (suggest mk7, then start again with root, twrp, null)
Did you fix your issue??

Hi, so how to install that rom, I always getting stuck on download mode after successful install rom from TWRP. old thing but no solutions??
Well
Your problem is that you are flashing the wrong rom. Check my post elsewhere, I made a thread explaining how to root the Gear and everything to get Null on there.
The Null rom available from Sourcefroge, F0mey's page, is NOT FOR GALAXY GEAR WATCHES.
Finding the actual rom is very difficult, but if you read my thread, there is a link in there.
I spent several DAYS getting this watch to work properly (and by properly, I mean rooted and with a new mod).
You DO NOT need an approved phone for this to work! This will allow your watch to work with virtually any phone.
All you need is a Windows PC (with Odin and the Samsung ADB drivers, although these may not be necessary...), your watch, the charging cradle, USB cord and Wondershare (although there are alternatives to this...).
Because I am a new user and can't submit links, this next part is going to SUCK for you:
Here are things to download:
Samsung ADB Drivers - Google!
The Latest Version of Odin - Google!
Wondershare MobileGo for Andoid - Google it!
V700XXUAMK7 Firmware (Build Date: 13.11.2013 -> Region: BTU (United Kingdom) PDA: V700XXUAMK7 Changelist: 2124806 Android: 4.2.2 ) - Easy to Google
Null TWRP (You can find on this forum)
SuperSU ZIP FILE (Do not open) - (Google for "SuperSU Flashable Zip" )
THE REAL NULL ROM 23!!!! Working as of 1/10/2017 - THANKS TO dbest1010
There are several pitfalls that are introduced because of how OLD most of the information on here is.
First, when you turn on your watch, you may be wondering, how can I get into USB Debugging mode?
If you are stuck on a screen that is looking for a phone to connect to the device (and this may happen more than once during this process), then you need to know this VERY SIMPLE TRICK:
Press your finger over the area where the bottom of the screen is. An orange and black box should appear with some numbers/letters in it. Do this repeatedly. A LOT. Keep pressing it. Sometimes swipe up a little or down a little, it doesn't matter, just keep rubbing it like it was your lover. Before long (sometimes it takes a couple of minutes, seriously, do not give up), the phone will go to semi-normal operation.
This will allow you to go into the settings and hammer near the version area several times (unlocking developer mode), which on the previous screen will allow you to select for USB debugging.
I'm not sure why this trick is not explained very well elsewhere on these forums. Really, if you want pretty much zero functionality from the watch, you can stop here.
You may not have the "stock ROM" loaded on this watch. Fortunately, these are still easy to find. You want the BTU version if you are in the United States.
This step is important, because even if you do not NEED to do this, knowing how to do this may help you recover from a "soft brick", and get back on track.
Put the watch into Download Mode.
To do this, hold the power button until the "Rebooting" menu appears.
Now, press the power button several times (4 or more)
A new menu appears, use the power button to move down to "Download"
Hold power button for 3 seconds, then release it
Download mode will appear
Connect the USB to your PC, then the cradle, then add the watch to the cradle
Open Odin
Leave everything as normal, and click on "AP"
Select the V700XXUAMK7 file/image
Run the process
This should get you the stock firmware rom loaded.
Here are some problems you may encounter during this phase:
When you connect the watch to the cradle, sometimes it shuts off or does something unintended. Make sure the cradle and usb are connected to the PC *before* trying to add the watch, rather than trying to plug the USB into the cradle once the watch is attached.
Odin may not "see" the watch as a device, or the installation process may not complete as desired.
MAKE SURE that Kies, Wondershare, ADB and all that other stuff is NOT RUNNING. By not running, I mean ctrl+alt+del and go to task manager in Windows and kill ALL instances of them, especially Wondershare. Do this before you think you got a bad image or something. This particular step gave me a headache for a while.
The watch should be booted with the regular firmware now. You may need to do that pressing trick on the main screen again to get it to do much else.
For installing the custom recovery ROM (this is NOT the custom ROM, but is needed and recommended to install null on your watch), you follow almost the same exact procedure as before.
EXCEPT,
1.) UNCLICK in the options for Odin "Auto Reboot"
2.) When you get to the part where you add the V700XXUAMK7 image file, instead, when you click "AP", add the Null TWRP file you downloaded previously.
After a successful install ,the watch will still be on the "downloading" screen. It is safe to restart it now, however, and you can hold the power button down and then press it a few times during the "Rebooting" phase to change to recovery mode.
If you did this right, after a brief Samsung Logo, you will see the Null TWRP screen which has several nice options on there for you.
Now, what you should do, since you know that it worked, is you need to ROOT THE DEVICE.
Don't worry about no Impactor stuff or any of that crap. If you're like me, it will not work. Don't worry about ADB or any of that either.
Use your free trial of Wondershare (or your alternative method), and add the SuperSU ZIP file to the ROOT DIRECTORY of your SD card. With Wondershare, you do this by opening Wondershare, and then connecting the device via USB. Remember what I say, put USB to PC, then to cradle, then add the watch.
Why come your Wondershare no see the watch? Make sure you did the trick on the home screen (pressing the stupid box a thousand times) to get into the Settings and enable Developer mode (keep clicking the version) and USB Debugging.
DO NOT BOOT THE WATCH INTO DOWNLOAD MODE! What are you doing?! Just open the watch up and run it regular so you can see the time, make sure USB Debugging mode is turned on, and Wondershare should see the watch. Still having problems? Try for install those drivers I linked at the top for Samsung devices. You may not need to do this.
You are STILL having problems?! Make sure no other process similar is running. No Odin. No ADB. No Kies. No Impactor. Nadda! Ctrl+alt+del and get rid of all those type processes. Then try it again.
Now, to finish the root.
Once the file is transfer over, disconnect the watch again, and reboot into recovery mode.
Go to install and select that SuperSU zip file, it will install right from the zip.
As an extra added measure, go down into the advanced options of TWRP, the recovery mode, and press on the "fix permissions". I don't know, maybe this does not help, but it does not hurt it either.
Restart the watch regular, run the SuperSU program from the "apps" section, and everything should look fine, and your watch is now rooted.
Power back down and go into recover mode again.
NOW, important! Go to TWRP again and go to BACKUP. Create a backup.
This backup is useful from this point so you can recover a fully working stock version that is rooted, because the next step may cause you a lot of frustration.
DO NOT GO TO SOURCEFORGE!!! F0mey has a page on there for the NULL ROM, and it is not even for the same device! It has version all the way to 27. It doesn't matter if you download the oldest version on there is almost 1GB and it is NOT THE CORRECT THING FOR THIS WATCH.
Do not waste your time! I kept flashing all kinds of bogus stuff on my watch trying to get it to work. Some other guy has a Galactus Mod. Don't bother! It will not work!
If you're sitting there trying to install some bogus ROM, and getting stuck in reboot mode and everything, just use that recovery you made and then come back to this thread when you have some sense in your head.
Go back to the top and get the REAL Null Rom 23. This is a mirror somebody found hosted by Kent. it is only about 300MB, not no 900MB file like the stuff on F0mey Sourceforge page.
How to install it?
Well, the same way you moved that SuperSU file over to the SD card with Wondershare, what you can do, is move the null rom over to the SD card using Wondershare. Just move the ZIP, same way as with the SuperSU. Do not open it! Once it is on the watch, this is the easy part, go into the recovery mode again, go to install, and install it.
You'll know it is correct because on the very first screen, it will say the device it is made for before it installs. The other roms say i398 or something, which is NOT THIS WATCH.
It will have all kinds of options you can tap on with your grubby finger. The recommended settings are fine, you may want to tick some of the Google stuff, like the Play Store.
Anyhow, now the whole thing will take a few minutes to install/flash onto your device.
When it starts to boot up, what is this?! It gets stuck in a loop! Galaxy logo, over and over!
No!!! After so much work! This can't be happening!!
Don't worry, this sound stupid, but just connect the watch to the cradle with the USB connected to the PC. Don't do anything else. For some reason, now it will work and boot fine and you'll be able to unplug it later and do what you like with it.
You will have to do the trick of rubbing the main screen again, with the orange and black box. Sorry, it takes forever, I know. Don't give up. Once you are done, you can connect it with your phone or whatever device.
Make sure to turn on Bluetooth on your phone, and you should be able to see the device (if not play with the bluetooth settings on the watch). Pair the devices, which requires tapping something on both screens.
Most likely, your phone also has an option under "hotspots and tethering" to allow bluetooth sharing of the internet with the watch. Once you enable that, go to the watch, and go to the bluetooth settings where the phone is connected to it, there is options in there for internet sharing with the device over bluetooth (just enable it, it is an on/off toggle).
What did I forget? This is only version 0.01 of this tutorial for you. If you need some more advices, you can write me. I may not check often, but that is life. You can find my email probably from my profile, also.

Bad news, though... The Null 23 link isn't being hosted again. Anyone know a valid link to the VALID Null 23 rom?
I need the Null_23.zip too!

If you find something, let me know! I will do the same. I message fOmey (the Null 23 rom creator) and he confirmed he doesn't have it anymore or any links. I also asked to confirm the Null 23 roms on sourceforge.net are incorrect since they are almost 1gb in size and states in the rom installation "i9300" which is the galaxy s III phone.

My gen 1 still works on null 23, but I got a nostalgic kick out of reading your write up. Nice job. Took me back to some good - although often frustrating - days. F0mey did nice to infuse new life back into this classic.
I came to see if anything better was out here since I last visited a good while ago; but not really. Maybe it's time to finally buy something new, and retire this one to a time capsule. (Next to the Casio calculator, $1 g-shock, nelsonic pacman/frogger, stainless mickey mouse, blue gobot/transformer, and gray fighter jet. I wish. Those didn't survive.)
Gear 1 won't connect with Samsung S8
I don't know if I am in the right place but I try and hope you wil tell if I am or not.
My watch Gear 1 always worked with my Samsung S7Edge. No problems. Now I have a Samsung S8 and it won't connect. My Sansung S8 finds my Gear1, but when I have to confirm on my Gear1 it tells me to reset the Gear 1 to its factory settings. It resets, but only starts and I cannot confirm anywhere the number that appeared on the phone. Somebody can help me?
Thanks in advance.
Only acknowledge on phone not on watch

Battery life is terrible in null did that last year and went back to tizen

A very Simple Trick - access debug mode without phone
Great guide, feels like im getting somewhere now. Slightly easier way of accessing Samsung Gear without pairing with another phone is to- On the install Samsung Gear screen(on your watch) try tapping 10-15 times on the white gear watch picture on the top left. This will bring up some message at the bottom about 'bluetooth 3 second press' whereafter you long press for 3 seconds on same picture. Watch is unlocked much easier than 'making love' and swiping up and down to get into settings haha
One question though. After installing stock rom should my software version not change in gear information settings?It seems that I am having trouble with 100% correct drivers because wondershare cant connect to my device, although it shows up in my file explorer is official latest samsung drivers fine or should i download fastboot drivers?. (any reliable links to stock rom,recovery,usb drivers and custom rom would be greatly appreciated,feels like im having trouble with the correct zip files)
I had a hard time getting all the files together so I have made a zip up and it has every file you need,even the firmware V700XXUAMK7,I added that cos on the Samsung Firmware website on slow download it took me 2 hours to download it and it like only 411 mb.
Super SU v2.85 in it there and works fine ,use Impactor_0.9.14,run Impactor.exe and click start and wait for it to finish then connect using Wondershare MobileGo and install the supersu-2-82.apk,Google play on Wondershare MobileGo don't work cos it can't find the device cos Google Play is not on the Gear 1 ,click on supersu app on the Gear 1 and it will ask you to update root files,just click on normal and it will update it and done,you have root on Gear1 now..
Here is the files in a zip.. Hope this helps sommeone,it would of helped me.. its on Mega.. here https://mega.nz/#!sAxinCDa!GR47wt4cQ6g74Ya_9An0bfmf2mel1o8dV0sNiqK3A6M
