Tizen is not officially released to the U.S. as of yet. You can pick another countries firmware and flash that if you desire. I myself flashed the canadian version from here. I see there is a newer romanian release you can download and flash from here.

Check the thread in General.

updating from tizen to u.s. version of tizen

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.

Do not want to upgrade currently past ANJ7 any alternatives?

So just ordered gear vr, currently on firekat v5 and version anj7. So to set up VR I guess I need to upgrade to next firmware. Is there anyway to trick software to think I did upgrade? Or possibly anyway not to lose apps, settings etc and just upgrade firmware? Thank you.

BAD ASS NOTE 4

[Q] How can I force my Galaxy Note 4 to recognise my gearVR

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.

On the Note 3 T-Mo ROMs worked with International and vice versa, all you had to do was flash the kernel for your model number.
I haven't tried this yet with the Note 4 (I have the N910F) nor have I seen anyone mention if it'll work.

we don't have 5.0 kernel so it wont work unless we receive the OTA.
