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..

bump, thx in advance for your help
Did you flash jm1 through odin or something? If you flash an unofficial firmware, that's what kies will tell you. If you want to be able to use kies to upgrade, you probably need to flash back to a stock firmware

[Q]problem updating firmware via Kies

So i heard about the 2.3.3 updated for the tab and i decided to check via kies
And knowing (from my SGS) that i have to update first with the old update to get the latest i decided to do that (the one from January or something)
But when i try i get an Error Saying that Kies could not be administrator permission from the Tab
Is this a known problem?
PS: anyone know how to change the language in Kies? i would prefer it in english because it makes it easier to describe problems
some users over at swedroid have some issues with sgs. no solution yet
Sorry. not allowed to post link
So i changed computers (usually do kies updates on my laptop) and its working fine
currently half way though the firmware update
Unable to update via Kies as well
I am getting the same message. States that I do not have the permission of the P1000 device administrator.
Was trying to update an unlocked Euro P1000, using the newest version of Kies and Windows 7 Premium. Also tried to use my XP to do the same, gets stuck on the screen after hitting the update button, or comes back with an "unknown error."
I hate Kies, but am would rather not root and bootload as I'm selling this in the next month or so.
Think I am moving away from Samsung. Love their hardware (have a Galaxy S and Tab), but hate their support and software updating.
Hello,
I can only suggest you to look at Overcome rom in the developers section.
There is an amizing guide explaining you step by step how to upgrade your tab and at the end you'll have a much better 2.3.3 rom than Samsung stock one.
If you still want only Samsung rom stop the update process when it says to install Overcome and you'll end-up with a very clean rooted stock 2.3.3
best solution seems to be a clean install of Kies. Uninstall, clean registry, download new from samsung, install. Kies must be center of gravity when it comes to bugs :/

[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

[Q] Samsung Gear1 bricked after update

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?

[Q] Tried upgrading Gear to Tizen, messed something up…

I've been wanting to upgrade my Gear to Tizen ever since I heard it was coming out. May 30th comes and goes and it seems that every country in the world except the US received the update via Samsung themselves. Fast-forward a month and a half and I'm getting impatient.
I have a Mac. I downloaded the BTU firmware from SamMobile.com. I tried flashing the update using Heimdall without any luck. I decided to use my mom's PC to try flashing it via Odin (using v3.09, if it's relevant), except because I'm so used to Mac, I didn't think to update her USB drivers. Needless to say, things didn't go smoothly.
Now, I'm stuck with a Gear that says, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Kies is stupid and won't give a stock recovery unless Kies itself tried installing the upgrade.
So, how do I get my Gear working again? At this point, I'd just like my Gear to be functional again and I appreciate all help anyone can give, though if anyone can help me out with getting the Tizen update as well, that'd be great.
EDIT: Read the rules, did a search. Seems the problem could be that I used a NL1 ROM instead of an NE9. I'll try that again when the file downloads. Now, my bigger question is, do I need to go through any recovery procedures before trying again?
EDIT 2: Looks like the NE9 ROM did the trick. Sorry for wasting anyone's time. That said, all of SamMobile's firmwares for the Gear are NL1, so anyone else looking to update, be sure to find a NE9 ROM.
