I used to know what to do and how to fix things. I am on a stock kitkat not rooted note 3 with a stock updated not rooted gear 1. I have no idea if it is tizen now but I took an update a couple of days ago to gear manager. Is it possible to go to null rom now or too late? If I do will I be able to read gmail again? Why the hell did samsung shut off the ability to read gmail? I updated gmail to 5.0 too but still cannot read it.

I see that you can do it using Samsung Kies, but I need a couple questions answered before I attempt it.
First, my gear is rooted, but I still have the original stuff in it. I never flashed another rom or anything. Also, my Note 3 is still on 4.3.
Will I have to unroot my Gear before going to Tizen? Will it work with my phone even though I'm still using Jellybean?

I'm still on 4.3 and Tizen works absolutely just fine for me!
The trick to getting Tizen is flashing the first release first. Flashing the 2nd release first reports firmware encountered an error. My gear was rooted and all I did was use Odin to flash Tizen right on top of Android.
Flash this file first right on top of your rooted android. NE9

Reboot and make sure it works.
Now flash the latest Tizen release. NF1

Ok, my Google services started to tell me i couldn't establish a connection when i was rooted, so i removed hosts. It started working again. Then I unrooted my SM-N900A (Samsung Galaxy Note 3 AT&T),4.4.4, using the unroot from supersu. I backed my phone onto samsung kies and then factory reseted it. However, while setting up my phone, I plugged it in to my computer to restore my data. Now I cannot log into google, and I want to try to avoid root.
Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by...
Good luck

I would recommend flashing the stock ROM. I haven't checked on available resources for the Note 3 in a while, but is 4.4.4 available for download? If not does anybody know if flashing any version of KitKat will work?

I don't think 4.4.4 is available for download yet, so I am going to take my phone to AT&T to get it checked. Sorry for being such a newbie if there is a easy solution.
Is there anyway I can root my SM-N900A 4.4.4? I've tried towel root and it's not supported yet.
I just purchased back after selling 2 years ago this great gadget . It has been one of my extremely rare changes of mind as i underestimated its capabilities...
I have some basic questions in case someone can give me a tip :
I now own a motorola e and have no Samsung device to pair it with , what should i do?
the watch is updated to last tizen fw via kies and is on factory reset form so i have no access to its settings
I need to make it work independantly if this is possible or via the moto e...
I also managed to flash the last tizen rom based here via the instructions

my moto e is not rooted running 4.4.4..
thx for any help
On 4.4 you can still make just about everything work properly without a Samsung phone. Never tried without root tho. Your best option without rooting would be simply trying to install gear manager apps the normal way, download and install.
I have best luck with 502 version of gear manager personally, the later versions I never get to work properly. Go to this thread and grab the 502 version as well as gearmanager stub, install both and reboot. Enable bluetooth if you havent, dont connect tho, just enable then run gear manager and it should install whats needed. If it gets stuck saying connecting for longer then 30 seconds or so cancel it and it will finish installing, if not restart gear manager and it will.
On a rooted device you manually drop the files in place, set permissions and reboot then continue. It should work the same. Here is a tutorial on doing it but I don't want the un-needed crap from Samsung running on my phone so I do it the way I posted above and just download the apps I want from here. More maybe available from the galaxy store but honestly, that's enough for me and my needs.
Your other alternative is running null rom on your watch, thats based on Android, more info here. Any needed files can be found on my copy.
Hello,
I have a samsung galxay s 5 running on android 4.4.2. its model number is samsung-sm-g900a. I rooted it 6 months ago but decided to unroot it when the lollipop update came out, so i would be able to get the update. I used odin and downloaded the samsung galaxy s5 stock. I have tried twice to unroot my phone but after i go through the process and download root checker on the play store, i find that my device is still rooted. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The downgrade to nce file should work fine, ive used it multiple times and been unrooted. You can load the lollipop update prerooted thlugh if you want to do it that way, which a guide for is in general.

I'm running the pre-rooted lollipop on an at&t S5 and works very well. If you unroot and get the official OTA update, you'll be stuck unrooted until someone finds a way to root again.
If you use the pre-rooted file you can go back to KitKat if you don't like the new Lollipop.
Last time i ever rooted a galaxy phone it was a galaxy s3. I upgraded to a galaxy note 3 awhile after and there was no good root out there, so i decided to wait and its been about 2 years now. I see plenty of info and roots just searching but id rather be safe than sorry. So i have an Unlocked At&t Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (I use cricket as service provider), SAMSUNG-SM-N900A, 5.0 Lolipop, Kernel v 3.4.0-4335446, KNOX 2.3. Can anyone point me into the right direction to all the stuff i need to do this as not to mess up so i dont just go doing it myself and f-ing everything up because whatever i read is from along time ago and not current as id like or anything? Id rather not have to do any downgrading or anything else id rather just be able to download needed files, plug-in, run software, root device and abrakadabra if possible. Thanks everyone!
