Is there not a way to update the Gear One through (via) Samsung? I have checked their web site and I do not see a new update for my version Gear: V700XXUBNA6.
All the third party links I have found so far show it will take hours to download the file. How can it be updated directly from Samsung?
Are you looking to stay on Android or upgrade to Tizen?
Look through this site: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-V700
It lists all the firmware versions, including Android as well as Tizen firmwares.
I do not recommend using Samsung Kies, as I find it too problematic. I recommend using ODIN 3.09.

I want to upgrade to the new Tizen. When I go to Samsung's web site and select wearables and then select the Gear I can find the SM-V700 series, like mine, but it does not list V700XXUBNA6, which is what mine is.
The new Tizen firmware is rootable...correct? And will it work with my Note 3 which is rooted running Hyperdrive RSL7 (4.3)?
I have about 5 minutes left on my download of the Tizen firmware from a third party site...hopefully it will make it
I have never used Samsung's websites to update my Samsung devices, and I have 4 currently, and about 8 in total (have sold or returned the other 4). The wonderful devs and users on this forum are very helpful, they have way more knowledge than Samsung's website, and they are more than help to lend a helping hand.
Don't worry about your current android version, the new Tizen can be upgraded from any Android version. Iike I said before, I'd recommend using ODIN instead of Kies. Check other threads in this forum, there are ones that discuss how to upgrade to Tizen with ODIN. The thing I do suggest is to make sure you read and understand the instructions before trying.

OK, Thanks!
I found the thread about rooting the Tizen update. I have just finished downloading the img file and going to grab the other stuff and upgrade mine tomorrow.

So after following all of the forums with any info on this model of tab i noticed a lot of people asking the same questions, seeing as i have been tinkering and following devs progress I thought Id consolidate as much of the Q+A sprawled across the forums into one noob friendly place. So here goes.
What do we know?
Currently the only official roms are worldwide froyo 2.2.2 and EU gingerbread 2.3.6. The GB rom isnt out over the air everywhere yet so if your kies hasnt got the update and your feeling confident then you can pick up a copy from droidangel.blogspot http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-tab-wifi-p1010-original.html
With detailed instructions here http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-flash-upgradeupdate-samsung.html Read, reread and READ AGAIN. It isn't difficult to do as long as you follow the instructions carefully.
Noteworthy info on flashing:
7zip should be used to unrar the downloaded roms as there are issues with other archive managers, the password is samfirmware.com
If you have connection problems with Odin its most likely driver issues its best to uninstall all kies software and drivers, reboot, install latest kies and connect your device, wait for drivers to install and then reboot again,
If you decide you don't like the rom you can flash stock firmware over it to downgrade and continue to get kies updates.
Is it worth doing?
I have been using 2.3.6 now for a few days and have no issues with light to moderate use, I have noticed a better looking interface(just small cosmetic differences) much faster browsing, and my quadrant went from 750 to 1400, If you have had a different experience please post. This update unfortunately doesn't fix the video out problem or the issue with skype using the front facing camera. In my opinion it isn't an update to write home about but it is worth doing.
Can I install it on a different region of tab?
There have been a few people who have successfully installed this rom on tabs from different regions so it is possible, If you have managed to do this please post your region and method As for trying to flash cross region, ask here and ill do my best to help.
As far as I know there are issues with installing on the Korean version due to hardware differences, more on that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376440
Can gingerbread for the P1010 be rooted?
Personally I have tried Z4Root, Zergrush and SuperOneClick all of which cant get root yet, Skin1980 is however working on a cf-root kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386643 which will allow clockworkmod recovery, superuser(root) and busybox, Please note that at the current time if you flash skins cf-root you will have to reflash the entire firmware if you wish to rollback, This will do no harm as long as you read the forums and have an understanding of what your doing.
This is all the useful info I have managed to find so far, hopefully it can help anyone attempting to flash this long awaited upgrade,
A BIG THANKS to all the devs working on this device!! It is much appreciated.

Is it 2.3.6 or 2.3.3?
samfirmware says 2.3.3
Both the samfirmware and kies are 2.3.6 when installed, it must be a typo on sammobile.

Latest p1010 is kpo.value pack.
I'm still waiting for dev to make cf root base on it. (Maybe the last rom for p1010)..

Hey guys,
sry for that questions.
Today i got a "new" Samsung Galaxy S from my brother, because he has now a iphone.
I never updated his phone and so he has the oldest official firmware on it. I think without lagfixes and other stuff.
I've got a ZTE Blade and i'm used to update ROMs with ClockworkMod, is there a similar application for SGS? Are there any AOSP ROMs (without Samsung GUI) for SGS? Do i have to install all lagfixes before i can update next (un)official roms?
Thanks in advance for your help.
best regards

Read the threads in the development section for custom/AOSP ROMs (be sure to update your SGS to the latest official stock kies version first before flashing the custom ones)
Hey guys, hey pikachu,..
I read the whole last two days, and tried to connect my SGS with the Win7 in a Virtualbox, but thats another story.
I installed kies, connected my phone with the pc, but then KIES wrote, that my phone could not be updated with KIES. I think because its branded.
So, i don't know what todo next? How can i apply a new firmware on my phone or what can i do, that i receive the next updates (e.g. ICS)?
is there a generic firmware for the beginning?
Thanks in advance!
best regards
One way to do apply a new firmware is to flash your device manually via ODIN, the other thing you can do is to make a reg-hack so that KIES thinks your phone is just like a new, unbranded device.
Thanks! Yeah, i read about Odin, but there are so many different versions of odin, a huge amount of different firmwares and, i don't know which of them have a bootloader.. etc.
I try now to apply the registry-hack and if this works then its all ok, otherwise i have to work with odin..
So,.. I'm done
As i wrote before, i tried to update the firmware with the reg-hack-trick, but it didn't work. So i had to test the other way.. with odin
I followed this german instructions (not allowed to post links, but the instructions are on android-hilfe.de) and it worked very well.. (thank god!)
Now i'm looking for a good or perfect Gingerbread (AOSP).. or a way how i can disable the samsung gui
Thanks for your hints!
best regards!
Hello Xda! I hope you've all had a wonderful christmas eve and an even better new year! I've joined this site after headhunting and reading numerous posts touching different topics regarding one subject and one subject alone: Samsung Galaxy S2.
Now, on to the issue at hand. After tweaking and modifying my firmware, in hopes of getting Cyanogen 7 to run along with the ICS theme for it and having failed, my Sg2 has never been the same, of one simple reason: I haven't found the exact stock firmware that fits my phone. When I write "fits my phone" I actually don't refer to the fact that they aren't working as they indeed are, but no-one that's up to date.
The problem could've been easily fixed if Samsung Kies actually worked with my Windows 7 64-bit, which it doesn't, and please, don't point me in the direction of other posts such as "untick debugging mode", "reinstall Kies", "install those drivers by searching 'this' and 'that' on Google", because trust me, I've tried everything. It worked for a couple of days, but now as I really need it, and want to get out of the hellhole I call "KE2", it doesn't seem to want to help me, at all. "This device is not supported by Kies".
Now, I've visited another thread here on xda, more or less this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 and dabbled myself through numerous versions until I finally settled for XWKE2 - Generic NEE and successfully managed it to run on my phone with Odin.
Since my phone is operator locked and I'm paying for it monthly via a Swedish operator known as Telenor I'm not able to update the firmware via About phone -> Software update either.
As I said, Kies isn't able to update my phone to 2.3.5/ KE7 (or whatever version is the newest) and I'm thusly stuck with XWKE2 & 2.33.
The most major problem I have is that I don't know which firmware to download from the topic I provided above, and I'd really like to know which one to actually download in order to have the most up-to-date version.
I'd immensely appreciate any help!

The stickies have some good unrooting info. I would just flash a dif custom ROM.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
why dont u flash the EU KK2 ROM with XXKI4 modem ...
Seems that I managed to throw in an update after all by simply connecting it with Kies again. Really strange. The information I'm given is that It's been updated to
PDA:KI4/PHONE:K1/CSC:KH1 (DBT)
I know that there's supposed to be released version where a blue animation detail/shadow appears every time you hit the top or bottom page of a settings window or such, which I'm missing, making me wonder if the version I have is the latest or not.
Can anyone possibly provide such info?

Why would I want to unroot it? It's not rooted, is it? I mean, I had it rooted and then unrooted it, causing the yellow exclamation triangle to disappear. I thought it actually wasn't rooted anymore.

Edit: Just downloaded Root checker and my phone's unrooted.
Shameless bump :C
Use Odin
Your first mistake is using Kies. The only reason to even install Kies is simply to let it install the drivers for your phone. By the way Kies does work on Win 7 64 but you should use Odin anyway. I got tired of all the bugs and malfunctions in various custom roms and came back to stock, Gingerbread DXKL3 (waiting for the stock ICS release in a few months). This rom is available here on XDA both in stock and Frankenstein versions. I use the NEAK kernel on my S2, although the Siyah kernel or the Speedmod K18 kernels are excellent too. So is the Dark Knight kernel with the Chekrom rom. Use a CF-Root kernel first to root, plenty of instructions here (just search) but it does take awhile to learn this stuff.
Have a look HERE for Rom's for your phone.
I have used:
XWKL1
Android 2.3.6
Based on official package
in the UK and it is very stable and great reception (for me)
Have a look HERE, has methods for flashing & Rooted Rom's
Very easy to follow and shows how to remove the yellow triangle
Any questions just ask.
edit:Always use odin for PC flashing (firmware KL1 should work for you)
You might get more help in the Galaxy S2 forum.

I just brought a gear that come with software version v700xxuamii and I wonder if I can root this version to use the gear with an iphone 5s.... I'm new on android and galaxy if any one can help me....
Thanks in andvace....
Rooting won't make any difference when it come to compatibility
You can always downgrade firmware. Check the rooting and tutorial threads as they contain pretty much all the answers
i just installed that version on my Gear (after hosing it) then proceeded to flash TWRP then null 23 - no issues what so ever

I just recently purchased a Galaxy Gear online and apparently it isn't a US model. I don't think it's a fake, it's just from another country. It runs Android with no problems, but I would like to upgrade to Tizen. When I connect to Kies 3 however, it doesn't show that there is an updated firmware available. I'm not afraid to flash Tizen manually, but so I need to flash the ROM specific to the country this device was made for?
