Any way to force os reinstall? - Samsung Gear Live

So since the last update my Mic stopped working. Is there a way to force a full reinstall of the full os? I've tried factory reset a couple of times to no avail.
I'd like to try everything I can before dealing with returning it.

With V3 my bluetooth didn't work. I Had to use V2 then update to the latest build on the watch.

After root, gear doesn't work anymore.

After I rooted my note 3, the gear stopped working with it! It connects but can't access anything on the phone like contacts, call logs, nothing. Any ideas?
Wow, that stinks. Did you freeze any apps? I would suggest to defroze all of them and see. I have my note 3 rooted, and works with the gear without any issue.
Yea it kept force closing when it tried installing gear updates. I'm trying again.
Mines been fine so far after root. Stupid question but did you try to unpair the watch then reboot and resetup the watch?

Just an update....I rerooted and all is good now. I think when I restored my apps, and some of them were samsung apps, that freaked out the phone and the gear.
So the lesson in this? DO NOT take the easy way out and restore your apps, just download or install them fresh.

Yes, I tried everything. What was happening was it was force closing when trying to install the gear updates. I think because I restored the file with helium. Because it couldn't install the updates, it freaked out and didn't work.
But after a fresh re root flash, it's all working fine again. Haven't rooted since the droid 1 days and it feels good to be back!
You'd better flash rom now to make it come back to work as usual.
Find your rom here : http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-V700
Hope your GEAR come back to work.

You are a bit overoptimistic I would like to have new firmware with less bugs too, (like for example that contacts on the watch are displayed with FIRST name first, even if You want to have them displayed by last name..
Everybody is looking for the new firmware - but it was released SEPTEMBER 16

Hi guys I need some help. I just wiped my phone and restored it back to factory and I'm getting

everytime my phone boots up. This happened as soon as it booted up right after I reset it and it's happening every single time now. It happens EVERY boot, exactly 2 times. It will freeze up my lock/home screen temporarily and give me the error message. After it displays it twice then everything goes back to normal working order and I am able to make phone calls etc.
I do think I f'd up somewhere messing with xposed installer and the wanam module. My phone would go into boot loops when I had it previously set up so this is why I reset it.
It IS rooted. Factory kernel/rom (I don't think it's possible to change them at this moment but please correct me if I'm wrong.) I tried wiping cache and still nothing. Everything in Titanium backup is defrosted meaning its all there except for the things that I uninstalled on my last setup but I was caeful not to remove anything important (only At&t bloatware). Also I did have 'App Ops X' installed and it's installed now.
So please help if you can and thanks in advance.
Fixed!!!
Not sure how exactly but I went into Titanium Backup and disabled a bunch of things that I wouldn't use. I get no errors now. Might be disabling of the 'Knox' that fixed it, who knows.
Thanks for the update,
I wasn't receiving this everytime like you were but I was getting it every so often. I tried using Titanium Backup to freeze some unwanted crap also and I haven't seen the Error since.
Don't know what we got rid of but it works lol

Hi,
I can barely remember but I did remove Samsung Knox and everything with 'knox' in it. I would freeze a few things at a time that you don't think you need and keep rebooting until it's fixed. I went through many trial and errors until I finally got it 100% working.

[Q] Touchpad CM 10.1 sound issues

Hi everyone,
Was having some bother with my CM9 TP lately......things like apps not updating complaining about storage space etc (which should not have been an issue at all, 32Gb TP with the storage space fix bumped)
Anyway, chose to completely uninstall CM and WebOsDoctor it back to 3.0.5.
First issue, in webos....no matter what i do, i cannot install things from the HP store.....constantly getting "install failed".....i thought a doctor would sort everything out?
Anyway, I followed the superb guides here to push on 10.1-20131210-snapshot-vpn-tenderloin as outlined by Roland.
Now....all went swimmingly, surprisingly easy these days, but i have one issue that is niggling me and that is with the sound.
When i installed, the sound was absolutely fine....was well happy with that ROM.
However, i have noted that the sound only works for a short while and then stops. Is this a known issue with the above ROM and is there a fix available?
Apologies if this has been asked before and i have searched, but as yet i have not found an answer for my situation
Thanks guys
Andy

Reboot after installing the patch, then use the internal pro app to check if its installed. Its all covered in the instructions.

Hey, I have the same problem. Tried several versions of cm over the last years but allways lost the sound after a couple of minutes. It seems like this is a known issue but I have never heard of a solution to it. Does anybody know how to get rid of this frustrating issue?
Everything works absolutely fine on webos, so I think it is not a hardware problem.
Thanks

Voice Search Broken, says "Can't reach google at the moment."

Hi All,
Running stock but rooted (with Xposed modules) 4.4.4 on Verizon Moto X with an unlocked bootloader. (Flashed this stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2829123 )
Any time I try to do any activity with voice I get the error, "Can't reach google at the moment."
I get this error if I click the mic in google now and by clicking the voice text mic on the keyboard. Also, Touchless Controls doesn't respond.
After searching around forums I've tried some suggestions that worked with similar problems on other phones, but to no avail. I've tried:
- clearing data and cache of google search app and force stopping (lost my google now launcher set up in the process)
- removing my google account from the phone, rebooting to recovery, clearing cache and dalvik, rebooting and adding my account back
Thanks for any suggestions.
hi, had the same issue with one of the modules in xposed, ended up wipping the device and started fresh, installed xposed and gravity box, no other modules, all is good now.

Hmm, interesting...
I'm thinking it's not a specific Xposed module... I just tried uninstalling xposed framework altogether and then wiping cache and dalvik for good measure. No luck.
But out of curiousity, these are the modules I have installed: GravityBox, Exchange Bypass For Xposed, SingalIconsAOSP, Unicon. Besides GravityBox, did you have any of these installed when you had the issue?
I hope this doesn't come down to just wiping, which it most likely will.
My droid maxx has had the same problem since the update to 4,4,4 I have tried everything including a fdr ( through twrp ). Nothing has worked ! Moto has offered me a new phone but I don't want a new one as mine is unlocked and rooted ( otherwise stock ). I think I'm going to unroot it, put back in the stock recovery and try a fdr through that...POS !!!
This may not help at all....but maybe worth a shot. If you try and it doesn't help, post back here and let everyone know so nobody else tries it.
You might have some luck by erasing baseband cache with fastboot:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
You might have to re-activate afterwards. It is the only suggestion that might be relevant that you haven't tried already...
Good Luck....that would be a frustrating issue... :good:
Unfortunately I gave up and just wiped and did another clean flash and its working again. It was very frustrating not having touch less controls or voice to text...
Thanks for the help though anyway.

I agree touch less control wasn't something I cared about when I got the phone. But after getting used to it its hard to go without.
When you say you wiped and flashed. Can you elaborate. I tried fxzing ( saving data ), 2 FDR's everything .. Did you unroot then use HOM ? I will try anything at this point . Thanks in advance

My bootloader is unlocked so I was able to simply factory reset and reflash the stock 4.4.4 ROM from the thread I linked to in the OP...

I will try both methods and post back. Thanks for you help !
So I took both suggestions tried them 1st. I tried erasing the the baseband cache's via fastboot. No luck. 2nd I reflashed the current 4.4.4 stock rom via HOM, Full FXZ ( no data saved). !st off what a pain in the ass it is to reset up these phones from scratch. I setup my Google account but I didn't let Google reinstall all my previous apps and there data. I then went into settings and arranged things how I like them. Cleared off my home screens, put a few of the apps where I wanted them. I then went into the play store and allowed all apps ( preloaded ) to update. I then went back into settings and went to touchless control. To my surprise it worked ! I then went about loading all my apps.The usual 1's everyone has ie: Elixir2, FX filemanager,Poweramp, MX Player,Chromecast Panasonic tv remote 2, Google Wallet, UE Miniboom and Few other nondescript. Then I checked touchless control again and It was still working. Then I decided to install twrp and its recovery via fastboot ( 2.6.31 ) let it root the phone for me. Here's where it gets dicey.. It was late and I had had it with this friggin phone. I went and loaded all my apps that required root,Superuser pro, Dsploit, Busybox pro,Android terminal emulator, Wakelock(full) all the usual's. Then I went through and disabled all of the bloat. Rebooted and switched the phone to ART The following morning I went to show a friend how I had fixed my phone and It no longer worked ?
So I FXZ'd again not saving any data. Reinstalled twrp , rooted . Then 1 by 1 I reloaded every single app back into the phone and checked google now between every single install. Also this time I didn't let any of the bloatware update. I planned on disabling it anyways so why bother. I didn't install any apps that require root except twrp, busybox, Dsploit and #mirrorenabler . Also it's currently back on Dalvic. So as my phone sits now touchless control and all of its functions are working again. It's obviously a rouge app or ART Runtime that did this and I will narrow it down in the next few days and report back.

Help Needed

I am getting a strange error on my phone. Until a week ago Google play store was working perfectly on my phone but now suddenly whenever I try to use it, it says unfortunately stopped all the time.
The only way I can use it by uninstalling updates but whenever I do that, the play store automatically updates, I have performed a clean wipe and reinstalled the rom, still no luck.
I am using chroma rom, 5.0.2 build, the final version
Any help is appreciated.

How about your google play services, does that need to be updated? My version is 7.0.99 and I am on version 5.4.10 of the play store
Maybe try a different gapps zip?

Have you tried a different rom/gapps combo? It may make sense to do a nandroid backup and then try a different 5.0.x rom/gapps. If that helps you can probably narrow it down to which software is causing the error.
Thanks for the help guys, I solved the issue, it turned out a layer was causing the problem, I removed it and everything is back to normal.

Great news. Would you mind using a more descriptive thread title next time please? As this is a Q&A forum, "help" is implied
