[Q] Samsung Gear1 bricked after update - Samsung Galaxy Gear

My gear watch is stuck on the (firmware upgrade encounter an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again }
Here is what I did:
When trying to get the null rom running.
I got into this problem "IF TWRP IS NOT DISPLAYING CORRECTLY LIKE THE FOLLOWING:", as shown here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537338
So I followed the first step:
DOWNLOAD THE STOCK V700XXUAMK7 IMAGE. (FLASH A FRESH INSTALL, DO NOT SKIP)
I accidentally flashed V700XXUCNE9, instead of V700XXUAMK7.
And then without setting up the watch on samsung gear and without getting into the debug mode, I tried to flash null again and it kept on stuck in the "NAND Write Start!!" message.
So I then tried to flash V700XXUAMK7 and it got stuck too after which I started getting
"firmware upgrade encounter an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again"
I am unable to get into the download mode or the recovery mode. When I long press the power button, it throws me back to the "firmware upgrade encounter.." error.
Please please help. Is my watch recoverable ?
Update: I reflashed V700XXUCNE9 and its up and running now Looks like I was trying to downgrade it and thats where it was failing.
I want null rom on it and looks like it only can be put on top of V700XXUAMK7. How do I go back from V700XXUCNE9 to V700XXUAMK7 ? Can I flash null_03_TWRP2.7.tar on top of V700XXUCNE9 ?

You can, it does not care about any bootloader or stuff like that. It just repleaces a bunch of files on the system partition.

Lucky you, most of the times its a brick, i recommend you to use tizen the battery life on tizen is amazing

Thank you all. I was able to get back to Android and then flash the null ROM. I have the nova launcher running now but I am unable to use internet from my Android phone (LG Optimus G E970). It shows as paired but does not connect to the internet.
Also Play Store crashes when I try to add an account of use existing (says Google Account manager has stopped working).
How do I sync this thing with my phone, getinternet to work, make calls etc. ? Please help.
FYI: I have already checked for this from the FAQ page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2573449
INTERNET ACCESS
GO INTO "FULL SETTINGS -> BLUETOOTH -> SELECT YOUR PHONE SETTING ICON (ON THE RIGHT OF PHONE NAME) -> TICK INTERNET ACCESS".
ENSURE BLUETOOTH TETHERING IS ENABLED ON YOUR PHONE BEFORE HAND OBVIOUSLY.
But I am still unable to access internet.

did you get this working,
Did you add bluetooth tethering on your mobile

Flashing Null on V700XXUCNE9
@getmexda,
Did you come right with this eventually?
I have gone through a nearly identical process as you, accidentally flashing V700XXUCNE9, instead of V700XXUAMK7 and have been unable to get either TWRP or Null installed. You said, "I was able to get back to Android and then flash the null ROM". How did you do this? And did you resolve your issues with the internet access?

Also Sometimes it happens with kies, don't worry make another try.

[Q] Firmware Update Failed!

Hello Guys,
I had rooted my SGN before & restored to stock ROM DXKL2. However whenever i tried to update the firware from Software Update, it always says "Failed to update firmware. Try again using PC software (Kies) or Visit Samsung Service Center".
The update download & installation seemed to run well accordingly, but after reboot with "Uploading Media Files" display, the screen simply goes off half way for reboot again, and once SIM PIN gets input, the above display shows up.
May i know how is this happening? Thanks in advance.

What was the Firmware version when you bought the Phone?? If it is different than KL2, Try restoring firmware which was ter when u bought it. Then Update via Phone or Kies.
Thanks for the tips, Mr Ranjan.Alva. It really worked when i flashed it back to its out of the box stock ROM DXKJ3 Gingerbread 2.3.5.
It could simply download, install & reboot perfectly to latest ROM DXLA1 now

You can set static IP with the built-in Settings app(Wireless & networks, Wi-Fi
settings, menu key, Advanced).
Use this application.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/wifi-static/com.farproc.wifi.statIc
thanks for this answer , but i'm still wondering why before installing cmw , my wifi was working flawlessly , and now i'll have to install this?!
and also what about this damn cmw that's here and still not working, is there a mean to remove it?!
This is common issue after CF root, and occurs due to binaries
Install busybox, open busybox and install binaries inside busybox application, once successfull installation it shud work
Otherwise
Flash stock kernel - wifi will strat working again
then root - install busybox - install binaries, then flash CF root kernel.
thanks doc for your answer ,after reading it, i'm willing to flash the stock kernel , at least it'll remove me this Cmw, but i must confess that this operation scare me , heard a lot about the brick issues with the xxlpy kernel , so i need some advices :
1 - i've downloaded the rom but it's a no wipe one , will it remove the cmw and the super SU?! otherwise how should i do to remove it?!
2 - what are the risks and what should i do to avoid them
3 - if u cand send me some links about how to flash this rom and how to remove all from my phone i would be greatly grateful to you
thanks a lot for your answer and have a nice day
Which ROM you are using?
yes non wipe ROM also remove it, but m thinking just flash kernel not full ROM
thank you doc you're my savior , i've downloaded the N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_N7000XXLPT_HOME.tar.md5
so i was willing to install it , and where can i find the kernel ? it it better to use the kernel only or does this one ok also , btw i've deleted all on my phone so i don't mind
also other problem - as if the actual one isn't sufficient --, i'm trying to install the usb driver for my computer but can't install them , kies is on my computer but still not detecting my phone , any idea about it
thanks a lot for your help i'm attached to my keyboard waiting for your answer
Oh you hav already download then just flash downloaded rom with.pc odin(with pda tab)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
the problem is that my computer won't recognise my galaxy note even after installing kies / drivers , is there a solution to this ? what should i do i order to use odin and flash this md5?!
i' m begining to be mad !!!!
thanks doc i'm waiting impatiently for your help!!!!
Wifi Probs after rooting Note
Hello
I am having the same issues after rooting my Note.
Basically I'm using the UK ICS 4.0.3 Rom from Sammobile - N7000XXLQ2_N7000XXLPT_N7000XEULP4
FRESH ROM INSTALL UNROOTED - NO APPS ADDED
Checked that wifi picked up signal and worked ok
Checked that data connection picked up signal and worked ok
Checked phone was registered on network and seemed to be ok
Pretty fast by all accounts !
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
However...
NOW ROOTED - using CF-Root - SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2 - v5.6
APPS ADDED FROM PREVIOUS CWM 4.0.3 BACKUP IMAGE
YellowTriangle Away V 1.70 used to clear counts etc
Checked that wifi picked up signal and doesn't work
Checked that data connection picked up signal and works ok occasionally
Checked phone was registered on network and seems hit and miss - registered one minute then not the next - unable to make calls - have to keep searching for networks manually - turning phone on / off / battery in / out !
Followed the advice from the from the post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29554858#post29554858 - regarding 'SPEEDMOD K3-11'
****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Now when I open CWM manager app, I get the message "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel.Various features have been disabled"
Also still - NO WIFI !
Just seems a bit odd ??
Don't know about you, but I'm wondering what else isn't working properly and is it actually worth rooting at all ??

Uninstall kies
Install only drivers
And change usb port
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
as i said before , wifi is working - hope so - since i can see the networks available around , the only problem is that it's continuously try to get ip and log in ,
now i'm worried about that damn usb that won't recognize my phone , and let me use odin to reinstall my system
if anyone has an idea i would gladly listen
thanks everybody
is there any mean to install the firmware i've downloaded without using odin?!
thanks for your answers
don't be panic and your issue is not serious.
you can use Mobile odin if you having root. if your root is working then try flashing kernel with mobile odin
Still NO Wifi - After UK ICS 4.0.4 Upgrade!
Downloaded ICS 4.0.4 from 'checkfus downloader' today
Product Code: GT-N7000ZBAXEU
Latest firmware: N7000XXLRK/N7000XEULP5/N7000XXLRK/N7000XXLRK
Modified: 24/07/2012 11:17:01
Filename: GT-N7000_XEU_1_20120724111617_83hlhgn7j9.zip.enc2
Installed using ODIN - rebooted, checked 'About Phone' - Version 4.0.4
However I have since rooted it using the CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEU_LQ2-v5.6-CWM5
Yellow Triangle 1.70 - worked and cleared the counts etc
Installed binaries via 'busybox'
(Haven't reinstalled - 'Speedmod K3-11')
and it still suffers the same 'NO WIFI CONNECTION' problem I had with ROOTED 4.0.3 ics with apps I'd installed via a CWM backup rom image
Any tips on how to get wifi to connect would be helpful - cheers
thaank you dr.ketan the word u've sent me relieved me because , indeed i'm panicked rofl - btw the fact of finding the right words to comfort people....mm are u a real doctor? -
i'm hoping truly that your words are the reality and not only to reassure me hhhhhh
right now i'm copying the md5 and the odin mobile pro 2.45 on the micro card , cross fingers and wish me good luck guys
right now i've installled mobile odin pro on my phone , but the problem is that it's sticked to the loading screen where it' says that it's checking super user support , and i have some msg from time to time at the bottom of the screen saying that mobile odin pro has been granted super user autorisation for interactive shell but still waiting so i'm begining to wonder if the root is alright , and so i'm asking
can i re - root my phone using the cmw zip and the busybox zip on an already rooted device?! if yes i'll do it right now
thanks for your help i'm waiting for your answer doc
It seems you have partially rooted device.
And that is the reason wifi is not working, i am saying this since long, i fear you won't brick device just for small issue.
Still i am saying once see there is enough space on system ROM? (check it with overview page of Titanium), i think in partial root titanium still works, as it uses own binary. if no 15MB spcace remove some non harmfull app e.g. arura live wall paper, youtube,Goggle+ this can be installed later.
After this again install busybox
open busybox and install from inside busybox
you should see msg 'succesfully installed'
then open superSU, if asked update binary too.
then try wifi shud work,
PS : yes I M ENT surgeon
glad to see that u're doctor too - i'm doctor in anesthesia reanimation , and we have good contact with surgeons since they're all the time funny - glad to see that u told me that my problem is a small issue and it won't brick my device , so i'm feeling a little more relieved , but still have to solve the problem
and there's some questions :
1 - when opening super SU i have this msg : the su binary needs to be updated , continue? how can i update them since wifi won't work? is there some specific files that i can update by the memory card?!
2 - i have a full unroot button in the super su settings , would it be a good idea to fully unroot the device to re root it after with the busybox?!
i'm on my way to download and install titanium i'll tell you about space on system rom once i'm done
thanks a lot again doc

As to your latest question, I don't know the answer. I'm in Canada, and after I flashed that version per the Youtube instructions, my phone version of Gear Manager quickly prompted me to perform a further update to the latest OTA version, which I did with no problems. Other than that, I left it alone. So far, so good.
If it aint broke, don't fix it!
Hello dheerpat,
I have made almost step as you, upgrade from stock to NF1 and same error message.
Solution to upgrade to nf1 from stock is to upgrade first to NE9.
So Stock --> NE9 --> NF1
It works for me
hi ..whats difrnce between ne and nf firmwares
I dont know whats the different.. but i think we need files inside ne9 to install nf1 firmware.. i guess..
ok..btw is there any way to playmusic by say folder or create playlist on the watch as there seems to be no option...perhaps a 3rd part app or so
Did u upgrade your gear manager apps after upgrade your GG coz u can send music file by it into your GG after you doing it.
It will play music as stand alone player
no no..what I mean is the default player just plays sequentially. .There is no option for play list or folder play..

[Q] How do I proceed

Hi,
I'm new to these things. Please help.
I have partial problems with my phone's speaker. I want to try can it be fixed via System Update.
Speaker problem is kinda mind-bending. Not sure when it occurs.
Speaker seems to work fine when calling someone near. When calling from over ~10 kilometers, speaker distorts the incoming sound. Works fine with loud speaker, which kind of takes the problem out of being problem of my service provider.
I'm quite possibly going to take my phone to the warranty service. That's why I want to have the "Device status: Official", not "Custom".
My friend rooted and installed a custom ROM, which I didn't like. I made him uninstall the ROM but the root stayed. (Late 2013)
Now comes the part I think I f***ed up.
Started watching videos about urooting, unbricking and such. Now what I have accomplished is that I've pressed "unroot" in SuperSU and uninstalled it.
Soon to notice that I should've used some program to clear the Device status.
Not sure what Flashing Android means and when its done, but there is counter which should be put to zero?
Those two things are done in programs which require rooting? So what do I do now?
Installing SuperSU gives me error binary not installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. Someone in fixed this with restarting device in Recovery mode with QuickBoot program which, again, needed the device to be rooted already.
I want to have my System Update done by the "right" way, from "About device" -> "Update". Now it gives me "Your device has been modified."
Please redirect and guide me!
I have S4 active GT-I9295, android version 4.2.2. Ask about baseband, kernel versions/other statuses if you need those informations!
Thank you SO much for your time and help beforehand! :good:
ps. 2 year warranty is till 28.9.15
thanks for everybody for answering!:good::good::good::good:
