I am currently running the British version of tizen but would like to try the u.s. version just to see if there are different apps. Tried to use Kies but it didn't work. Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes, I saw the announcement today that Tizen was finally available in the USA. I live in the USA and have been running the UK version of Tizen for a while, but I thought let me see if the USA version might be an upgrade. I never have luck with Kies so I was going to use Odin which always works well. I went to Sammobile to download the new firmware and decided to wait after I looked at the version number of the USA (Cellular South). It is 2.2.0 vs the 2.2.1.1 version which every other country has including my current UK version. Is this an earlier version of Tizen without the enhancements that come with most of the other Nations firmware? I am holding off on flashing the USA version and sticking with my UK version.
From what Samsung said on the website, we would have 140 apps or so. Since I didn't have that many on my version of tizen, I thought I would check out the other one ?

That have nothing to do with the firmware or tizen version.
It is a thing about the combination of samsung smartphone modell and the gear.
My combination is a s4 gt-i9505+gear 1 running tizen and i see only 49 or 50 total apps in the gear manager app store.
When your phone have root, you can make some changes in the build.prop file to deceive the samsungs gear manager store, as example, a galaxy s5.
Then you have a lot more apps which you can download and install.
Here you can read more details.

I upgraded my GG from Android to Tizen using the method on the forums here. When I tried to do it via the "official" Samsung instructions Kies told me it wasn't upgradable. I downgraded my GG to Android (again using the fantastic thread on the forums here) and then did the Kies upgrade. Worked without a hitch. Oh and there are more apps in the store after you get to the official version. And the official version of Tizen for the US is NF1. I can't tell any difference between the Odin flashed version and the official US version except I can "see" more apps in the store. Battery is still great. Speed is the same.

I know but that version doesn't work for me.
I bought in Best Buy Samsung Galaxy Gear SM-VZ7000ZOAXAR. Can I install custom recovery and null ROM on this ? I know it's not V700 but it looks like it. What is different in this model ? I try and to Google it but I didn't get any information...

On your Gear open up Settings/Gear Info/About Gear, then see what Model Number you have. As far as I know the Gear 1 that Best Buy has sold since rollout is the SM-V700. I bought my Gear 1 at Best Buy on the day they started selling them. Also look at your software version. Is the Gear running Android or Tizen? If it is running Android then you will be fine to root, install recovery and then Null Rom. If you are on Tizen then you will need to downgrade to Android first.
There is a great thread on how to downgrade, TWRP Recovery, plus the thread for Null Rom (page 1). These walk you through everything you want to do. Good Luck
I will check software version on Saturday because now I haven't watch with me
Which software version must I have to root and flash without troubles ? What is the "Z" letter in model number ? I can't find it anywhere even on Samsung website.

I called Samsung today, and this "Z"in model number is a mistake. Someone in BestBuy put wrong number on website. :laugh:
Hi!
Was just about to try and root my Gear 2 Neo, I noticed my firmware is r381xxu0bnl2 rather than NE5.
Is there anyway that I can downgrade?
Don't wanna try just flashing the firmware incase it bricks etc.
Any help is appreciated..
Thanks.

Download the Odin file from Samfirmware.com for the NE5 firmware and just flash it back down with Odin.
Or there are links here: LINK
Then do the root, cant guarantee the root will work with the bnl2 version.
It may be worth trying the root, if it screws up the system you can always flash the firmware from Odin again, its quite hard to brick Samsung devices unless you mess with the bootloader.

I noticed that the release countries were quite patchy, judging by the way Samsung phones work I dont think you will find a problem flashing a Canadian or UK rom on your watch so long as the model (sm-r381) matches the firmware you find to update it to. I believe all the Gear 2 neo's are all the same hardware so flashing it with other roms of the same model should be ok.
Btw I am running the Polish 5.0 rom on my galaxy s5 and have had no problems. So running a Canadian version on a US watch should be fine, so long as you dont mind the rom being made for the same country justin bieber came from. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Man, that was below the belt
The risk of flashing a Canadian ROM is that the only notifications are for hockey scores :highfive:
Just kidding....I'm in Canada but still pondering if I should upgrade....as I posted elsewhere on XDA, I have ZERO problems with BNE5 and Note3. Even the battery is amazing (10-15%/day for light use)

Ok, you can flash the old firmware but:
1-won'th the phone answer to upgrade?
2-Will you lose the new firmware feature (maybe battery things or so?)
Will try to root NL2...finger crossed...

Hi,
I have a Samsung Note
model: SM-N910F
Snapdragon
NOT an AT&T phone.
Before the arrival of GearVR I downloaded to my Samsung Note from the Play store the "Quick Shortcut Maker" then launched "VRSetupWizardStub"
Now I have the Oculus software installed and registered. Already downloaded the movie player, several games, and movies from the Oculus environment.
I received my GearVR and connected it to the Galaxy Note. The Oculus software is supposed to launch once connected to the Note but nothing happens.
(The volume is turned up. There are no apps running in the background.)
I'm lost. Any help would be appreciated.
I personally had the same issue and I have a rooted t-mobile phone. What I did was update the phone to the latest firmware using kies. After that, it finished the installation once connected to the Gear VR.

I had the same issue. You have to physically maneuver the device ALL of the way onto the VR port. Play with it a little and it should work.

If you're current on firmware then make sure that the jack in the VR is pushed into the phone completely, I found since it is on a spring sometimes it will not seat all the way.
If you are using custom ROMS you need to install AEL Kernel in order to be able to use Gear VR.
I'm running Gear VR without issues under FireKat V9 and AEL Kernel Version 7.2
Cheers!
If you download the gearvr sdk from oculus website inside zip is a few apks install anyone and and click open after install. It will force gearvr setup. I did this before I got my gearvr

Hi Rayan!
as a newbie I have a plenty of question, but first of all: what if I update an original firmware with kies? I'm hungarian and my unlocked (910F with NJ4 fmw) note 4 cant find any update. But at sammob there are 3 different fmws, with NK4.
First question: (im a newbie - again) Are there any provider data in the firmware - I mean will my phone will be unlocked after an update as well? Silly question maybe.
Another one: Can I try a german firmware? Is there english language avaible? 'cos only germans has a Lollipop update (is it worth it?)
AND A MOST IMPORTANT: Will my gear VR work with NK4 or OB4 original firmwares?
if not, I have to use a custom ROM, as I see, as U mentioned.
Thanks for replies!

You are right! It forces the setup, but not a firmware update! Works only IF your provider has an update. Otherwise it says "There are no updates avaible" - still stucked. Same for me too.

Have you tried to use this German NK4 ROM and then flash AEL Kernel?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/n910f-custom-rom-t2941006
But before you do anything don't forget to backup your current setup with TWRP.
But most importantly, you need to make sure you increase your knowledge from newbie to a more comfortable level, please read everything in regards of your particular Note 4 model BEFORE you do anything.
Don't rush things.... Learn, learn, learn, it's not that hard to make it work, but first you need to understand about TWRP, ROMS, Kernels and such.
Good luck!

And the German NK4 ROM flashed with AEL Kernel will do the trick - to recognize my Vr?

Supposedly it should work since that setup should meet the Gear VR requirements, unless that German rom developer removed the Gear VR services (unlikely). It won't hurt to try, especially if you make sure you TWRP backup your current setup in case you need to rollback.
Good luck

Success!
Finally done. If U have an european 910F note 4, U can force your note 4 to recognize VR. But there are a plenty of things to do before..
1. Root your phone!
- Use twrp method - google it, first hit with talkative domain name IMportant to use ODIN 3.07!
2. Backup EFS, I used this one: EFS☆IMEI☆Backup, and backup current firmware in twrp
3. Download a note4 firmware from sammobile, I tried several ones, but software downloading and connecting to oculus worx only with a german lollipop (only lollipop in list)
4. Flash with ODIN, followed description of sammobile
It worked for me. I'm from Hungary, with Vodafone.
just wanted to let everyone that is running a custom rom to get there gear vr working can now use the latest firmware released to Canadian phones 2 days ago and the gear vr will work flawlessly
awesome!
Note 4 on bell working great, got the update last thursday... lovin it!

Have you tried using Milk with a VPN

Confirm works with Rogers (Canada) 5.0.1?
Can anyone confirm the Gear VR works out of the box for Rogers (Canada, SM-N910W8, Exynos) with their latest 5.0.1 update? Have a friend visiting the US and would like to confirm before asking him to buy one for me. Thank you kindly
