I've got a second hand Samsung gear (from the bay of fleas)
which has been rooted.
search on here for a stock rom and how to do it.
so downloaded odin v3.09
drivers
and firmwear BTU-V700XXUCOA2-20150427111535 ( took hours to download)
followed the instructions to the letter.
odin just sat and seemed to do nothing for hours (yes hours)
now I have a bricked gear watch.
display reads :-
firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
can't get out of this screen on the watch.
Keis doesn't want to help comes up with :-
SM-V700 Does not support initialising
searched here and on google, tried a few things but still nothing.
please help!!

FW upgrade encountered an issue. Plz select recovery mode in kies & try again (i537)
Help!! so i try to root my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-I537 (android 4.3 & I537UCUBML2) had it on debugging mode too.
i think i broke it :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
so i was following this steps:
Google: root 4.3 ml2 galaxy s4 active i537 -- the first link!! (i just sign up for XDA so i cant post the link)
everything was going just fine until this step, i know i didn't get far.
"Now once loaded, hit the “START” button, it only takes a while to flash then wait until the phone reboots."
so i hit the start button but it said it FAIL, i reset and hit the button once again and it said it fail. At this point I decided to just give up and try another day. but there was a little problem. I didn't know how to EXIT the download mode. I did i little google search and the only thing that suggested was to take out the battery, so i did. Now when every i boot my phone I get this message:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again"
any suggestions? please?
I just got this phone!!
thanks in advance!
Hi. So i'm new to this Galaxy Gear stuff. I bought my gear second hand from a friend (so i do not have any warranty or what so ever) I rooted and flashed a custom rom on it, everything went fine and everything worked good, but now i wanted to sell it so in order to sell it i had to flash the stock rom on it. I downloaded the right file (i live in Finland so i selected the Finnish one) and when i tried to flash it nothing happened. It said bootloader where it says fail or pass in odin an i waited and waited and nothing happened, then i unplugged it from the pc (big mistake) now it says on the screen when i turn it on ''Firmware upgrade encounteredan issue. Please selectrecovery mode in Kies andtry again''.
If i try to reboot the gear it comes to the same screen, so i can't go to recovery i guess. And when i try to connect it to Kies 3, it says it's not supported ? Odin recognizes it but if i try to flash again nothing happens. So my question is dear xda members. Is there any way to fix my gear or is it broken for good.
-Thanks
If i forgot something i'll answer as soon as possible!

if you reboot by holding the power for like 10 sec, can you get to recovery? Or download mode?

Hmm, does it charge? It may have been bricked. If there is no chance of returning it or warranty then I'm not sure what to do. Since it seems it's been this way for a few days, you may have to be creative. I've had mine fail a few times via Odin and after a few times holding the power I would get back to the kies screen on the Gear which I would try to fix in the recovery part of kies and that would not work since I wasn't installing the update via Kies. But moral of the story was after trying to see the gear in kies and failing, I again tried with Odin 3.09 and it would see the device again. Where I loaded the Odin version which failed, then rebooted gear and tried 2nd time and closed my eyes.. and it loaded. I would make sure nothing is running in the background ( 1st fail I noticed windows detecting device halfway through Odin flash and that caused my issue).
Also if you have another device like a samsung phone, you may see that device in Odin (only suggest this as a way to test if Odin and windows drivers for samsung device are loaded). But hopefully with some reload of the drivers on you computer (on that....try another computer if possible) you will have some success.
If you try all that and it's a no go and still crazy colors and lines.....only thing I can think of is to let battery die and then connect charger and see if it charge's or goes to charge screen. Let me know if you can get to anything else...

Ditto - rushed into the update before reading up properly and ending flashing with latest Tizen when I should have used the older version with boothloader. Thought I'd recovered the situation when I managed to flash with Android 4.2.2, Odin showed as completed but the Galaxy Gear continued to be stuck on the downloading screen albeit with a download bar showing however it did not reset. Switched it off after a while and then that's when the corrupt screen started and failure to be recognised by the pc
Any help would be appreciated before it hits the bin.............

Did the same, reflashed STOCK 4.4.2 (has to original it came with) and restored android. Then updated to NE9 rom then to NF1... Unfortunately the NF1 rom needs some base files installed in NE9. Can't just jump to lastest...
Then rooted it...

[Q] HELP! I bricked my Samsung Galaxy Gear 1. "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
Hello! I have tried everything i can think of. It is a US Galaxy Gear. was flashing Tizen using Odin and it failed and now cannot power up. I cannot get into download or recovery mode. the only screen it will show is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
Kies does not recognize it. Odin does see it, and i tried flashing SEVERAL Stock ROMS for the V700, all of which fail. I cannot seem to find a US ROM, so i am using one for England. that fails as well.
I am at wits end, any ideas? I also tried different USB cables, reinstalled the latest Samsung drivers, tested those with a working watch, even another cradle (my brother has an identical gear 1). also swapped to different USB ports
i have checked all of the other threads, and tried the options there...
thanks for any help!

Where you say Odin doesn't recognize it, not sure there but try another USB port or computer, you can flash recovery from that screen then boot directly into it.
Been a while since I played with my gear so memory isn't fresh but don't think you are bricked. Here's a link to my copy folder, don't know the steps you took but ne9 to nf1 will put you on tizen, was the latest version but I think a newer one has come out since. You can't go from android to nf1 directly as it's not a complete ROM, only an upgrade iirc.
Here's my copy folder for the gear, different then the first link as it also includes ROMs to go back to android, which to me it sounds like you are stuck in the middle between android and tizen somewhere.
I tried to flash tizen rom. First i install custom recovery and when i tried to flash tizen from odin, odin got stuck. I wait about 15 minutes but nothing gets better so i unplug my gear and tried to restart but it gives error:-
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
I tried Samsung Kies but it is not detecting my device. I tried to get into downloading or recovery mode but they are not working. Please help me.
Gear model is SM-V700.
Thank you.
Try to start with download mode and flash any stoked rom
