Posted in the wrong placeOk, I've had my Gear watch for about 6 months. After reading a lot of the post about Gear on XDA, I decided I wanted to upgrade to the latest firmware (NF1). I am currently on PDA:NA6 / CSC:NA6 (XAR). So I connected the Gear to my computer and started Kies 3. It offers to upgrade to PDA:NF1 / CSC:NF1 (XAR) which is what I want. Of course the upgrade fails. I get a message box that says: "ErrorCode=5,ErrorMessage=The operation completed successfully." but nothing has changed on the Gear.
After searching XDA for something that might explain this, and not finding anything, I decided to post this and see if anyone can help me. I'm thinking that it might be because there was another update in between these updates and that one was what switched the device to Tizen. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to perform that update before I do this one. Can anyone help me, please.
Also, I do not want to root this device yet. I rooted my Asus Transformer Prime right after I bought it and could never go back nor get any updates for it. Since then, I don't root any of my devices until after I have replaced it.
Edit1: Posted in the wrong place, sorry. Could someone move this to "Galaxy Gear Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting"
Edit2: Never mind. I tried it again when I got home and it worked. Must be something in the security of my work network that was the problem.

I tried to run the AT&T update the other day on my Captivate but I don't think it worked. Well, first it downloaded the file from AT&T, and then it rebooted the phone and I got a white screen with a loading bar. After that finished I booted back into the phone but received a message that the patch was not applied.
So I go back into settings and try updating again, but when I click on the check for updates button I get a pop up that says, "No Firmware" and that's it! What does that mean?? Is there something wrong with my phone?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
No Firmware is a standard message when it doesnt see an update necessary. Many/most get that after the update and also got it before the update came out. Go into settings and About Phone and check what versions your at. There are many posts of people who it "failed" for but yet list the latest versions. If your unsure which versions your on, post here and someone can help.
You could always use the 1 click Odin to put your self back to basic stock and reupdate the phone....IF you feel comfortable doing that. Its very simple and there are plenty of instructions out there on how to do it but dont take my recommendation on it...do it when and if you feel comfortable.
Based only on what you posted and the fact you can get all the way to the point of checking for updated software but do not list any errors otherwise...you are far from bricked so dont worry.
Thanks... I did not know that people were getting this message after successfully updating the phone. A quick check to the version confirms that I am now running jh7, so I guess I'm all set.
I would assume so as well. Unless you see any other issues I wouldnt worry about it. If you do, look into the one click Odin restore.
Hello
I hope i have posted in the right section and someone can explain too me if this is right or wrong.
I just downloaded the 2.0 version of samsung kies software,when i plugged my phone in it said i could do a firmware upgrade for my phone.
So of course i did so,i first done the backup which was an option in the process.Then pressed ok and it started doing its thing.
Well i left it and came back too see a green android guy on the phone and a message on laptop saying the update had failed and i need too recover the fail by going into emergency firmware recovery mode.
I did this(pressed yes) and it started doing its thing again and rebooted the phone,after it had done it said too disconnect and reconnect my usb cable which i did and the phone was back running again.
The question i have is what basically just happened?
I presume it was a fail on the firmware update since thats what it told me but on checking my stats it had done what it said it was going too and thats upgrade from CSC: JP5 to CSC: JP6.
So it said it failed but on the samsung kies software it now says the csc JP6 and i cant update any firther.
Im sorry i should maybe of checked the code better too be honest i didnt check the full version upgrade, i just thought ok firmware upgrade yup ill do that and flicked through the yes options til the upgrade started.
Thanks for any replies.I have a untouched samsung galaxy S by the way,i not done anything too it except installed apps and games.So no roms,no lag fix,no hacks at all.
Its been a coupleof days now since my post so hope its ok too comment in it again so maybe i can get some help.
Im not sure if my first post explained itself enough so if anyone has any questions i will be happy too answer them.I dont know if my phone will be affected long term but the fail or not.
Csc..what is this why had the software felt it needed too be changed from 5 to 6 ?
the fact it said it failed yet on checking i cannot update again and it has in fact changed from 5 to 6 as it said it would.All my added shortcuts on home screens went but the files stayed.
csc....has anyone also got the changed firmware like i have and gone through the failure too get it.
Im trying too add my own questions in the hope someone has some answers since i see many questions get answered in this section within no time,but mine seems too of stumped some.
thanks for replies guys it will settle my mind and i will of course try too find my own answers and if all else fails i will contact samsung and ask them what went wrong.
Hi,
I installed Kies today and connected my girlfriends cellphone, a Samsung Champ Duos (don't know if it's a phone only for the Philippino market)... Same here, started up first time and Kies prompted me to update the phone's firmware. I followed the steps, something went wrong and I was told to perform an emergency recovery.
I tried, but after 63% an error message appear telling me that something went wrong and "if the problem persists please contact support centre".
I've tried the recovery process maybe 20 times now and same every time. I have already sent an email to the support, but hoping someone here knows how to fix this in the meantime.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure Kies can be unreliable...
Have you tried another computer?
Try the recovery again but hold the usb cable in place, it may have a loose connection
Either way support should answer you shortly and they will sort it out, as it should be under warranty and kies messed it up. They will probably tell you to find your nearest service centre...
@Caz2k11 if you ever read this again and still haven't got your answer, it shouldn't have affected you that there was a problem installing in the first place.
CSC - there is a sticky on the the general section that describes most of this stuff but in brief i think its either country specific code or country service code, something like that. Really its only important if you have problems downloading things from the market, or reception/data related issues. Usually carrier related... Its worth checking you have the correct one when you update as it saves you from changing it later which results in a factory reset.
Ahh damn it...
Got a reply from their support this morning. They apologized and told me I have to send the phone to my nearest service centre. Great for me living in the province and I'll bet the closest service centre is located in Manila....
Does anyone know if the *original rom* is available somewhere on the internet?
Most of us do not use kies to update
You can fiind the latest original ROMs at samfirmware.com

Hehe no ****
I'm running Andriod on my HTC Leo as well, but this is my girlsfriends phone, still warranty so I'll be a bit careful at the moment.
Have registered on the site mentioned above, not sure which file I'm going to use or anything, since I cannot start the phone to see the current firmware etc. The model no. is GT-E2652W and "SSN" is "E2652WGSMH", does that mean it's a E-series phone?
It means a few things ...
First of all, you are totaly at the wrong place since this forum section is for Samsung Galaxy S, and you Champ Duo , well, isn't a Galaxy S !
Second thing is that this forum, as well as samfirmware, deal mostly with Android phones, which your isn't, I believe. It does somehow look like, but isn't.
Sorry I can't help more

Yes, I'm awared of that. Found this thread when I Google-searched "samsung emergency recovery".
Sure, no arm done, it's just that non android phone have a different way to recover. I did a couple of googling too, but must admit I did not find a great deal of information either,
Sorry and best of luck for bringing your device back to happiness.

Hi all, I have searched and searched on here for what I need but just cant seem to find it. my GT-S5830 will go into dload mode but when i reboot it gives me the exclemation phone to pc sign. I have dloaded the "S5830XWKTR_S5830H3GKT4_S5830NEKT2_HOME.tar.md5" file and numerous versions of odin of which I now believe that "odin Multi_Downloader_v4.43" is the correct one for me. I think I am missing other files but am not sure. When I press start I get the message "unamed file not found" and in corner i get "killer timer"
I know this forum is designed for new users to learn for themselves and must use the search facility's etc to gain knowledge however I am an OLD new user and was wondering if anyone could help me sort this phone out. I recently rooted it (or at least I think i did) then tried to put new rom on it previous to getting the exclemation symbol. I now am trying to restore it to factory settings unrooted with my 3 carrier. maybe so that I can then root it and install new rom.... thats if I dont find getting my phone back to working condition to complicated..
Thanks in advance for any help and I am sorry admin if I am posting unhelpfully, I dont wish to clog the forum.

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help point out what I'm doing wrong. I apologize if this is addressed in another thread, but I've read through all I can find with no luck.
Here's my setup....OnePlus One running CM12s (not rooted) and an original Galaxy Gear 1 w/Tizen.
No matter what APK's I install, I cannot get it to work. Either Gear Manager just crashes, Host Manager crashes, or if nothing crashes the Gear just spins on the connection screen.
Is there something with my setup that isn't allowing this to work? Is lollipop the issue? Does the phone need to be rooted? Is the GearManagerStub.apk the problem since I can't copy it into the system/app folder w/out root?
Any help is appreciated. I've spent hours trying to get this to work.
Thank you!!
Hale to sammy ROM to connect without problem. On sgs 3 i ve never to make it.
Same problem here, but I managed to install the latest Gear Manager and connect with Gear 1. OnePlus One running CM12S, non-rooted.

Galaxy Tab 3 T210R / Bricked?
OK, I know I screwed this up b/c I was tired when I was working on the tablet. It's a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 T210R (one of several I'm working on). Feel free to say I"m an idiot, I already know it was a stupid mistake.
I reset to factory specs using the operating system after installing the KitKat 4.4.2 firmware update and TWRP. This was that last thing I did before the current status.
Current status is that it won't start, yet Odin registers the tablet as connected, and seemed to be able to reinstall the firmware & TWRP with a positive result.
UPDATE: I was able to connect kies which also seemed to complete a system update, except that the tablet still has a black screen and seemingly unresponsive buttons. This is so weird.
Sooooo, not sure if it's bricked or not, since Odin registers it being connected. However, Kies can't find it. And none of the buttons appear to work.
I have it plugged into the outlet charging at the moment (not the laptop). It was nearly fully charged when I screwed it up.
I have SD cards, and an a couple exact model tablets that work just fine with the new Firmware (4.4.2) and TWRP (2.8.20). Is it possible to clone one of the working ones onto this one?
The one thing I haven't done is try to install a new ROM.
Help? Bricked? Or... ?
Much appreciate any expertise or suggestions. Thanks.

Update 07/07/2015
I let the tablet's battery run down (as was suggested in one of the threads), and when I plugged it in to the AC power, I got the Samsung Galaxy logo!
I was then able to restart in download mode, and reinstall the md5 file via Odin. Not sure why letting the battery run down works, but at this point, I don't really care. I'm glad that the tablet could be resurrected from the dead, in spite of my mistake.
I hope this is helpful! :victory:
tab not showing up in ODIN
I have my galaxy tab soft bricked, but when I plug it in to ODIN, the pc does not recognise the tablet and therefore I can't reinstall the firmware, although the tablet is connected to the pc, as it gets charging when plugged in.
I've tried reinstalling samsung drivers, killing every samsung keys program running in background, another cable and even three different ODIN versions (v.1.7 // v3.07 // v.3.09), but it is not showing up in any version.
I have been looking for a solution since last year. last year I had windows 8 and it didn't work; then I upgraded to win 8.1. again nothing, and with windows 10 the same story. can anyone help me please?
thank you very much.
