I have tried resetting the Gear 2 Neo. When it restarts it goes back to the main screen. I go to Options and click Bluetooth. Sometimes a few seconds later it will say Bluetooth is disabled, sometimes it won't. The Bluetooth icon will never turn blue. My samsung devices will not find the Gear 2 Neo. I have tried a recovery by holding down the Home button while it is restarting and it still won't work.
sounds like your solution is an odin flash also. if your unfamiliar with the process, let me know. My root tutorial gives alot of info on that topic too
I'm having the same issue.
I'm having the same issue with my Gear 2 Neo and I downloaded Odin3 and I'm downloading the firmware from SamMobile as I type out this message. Please send me the directions for using Odin3 to flash the firmware to the Neo as this would be the first time I try this and I don't want to brick my smartwatch.
Thanks, :cyclops:

Got my captivate into download mode by the adb command method. Fired up odin and clicked start. It showed my phone as com4 (Yellow). It kept hanging so I unplugged my phone and removed the battery and now the phone boots to a nice phone ... to computer icon. Any help? suggestions?
Notes:
I tried entering download mode again via the volume keys and removing the battery no luck. This didn't work prior to using odin. I had to use method 1 to even get into download mode. I was trying to install 2.2 via odin one click.
this phone has 2.1 update 1 on it.
How long did you let it run? Did you start Odin before putting your phone in download mode? Search the forums there are numerous threads already on this.
I let in a run for like 2 mins just sat there. I saw videos and it didn't hold like it did for me. Almost like it was froze. I started odin before. didn't show. put device in download mode still didn't show unplugged it and replugged it in and it showed finally.
Try this open Odin one click then with the phone unplugged remove battery, SIM, external card if you have one, hold both volume buttons and do not let go, do not touch power, plug phone into pc, put battery in and you should go into download mode. I have read that this has worked for others in your situation. See if this works.
What were you running on your phone when you decided to use Odin? If you were running any I9000 the button combo may be different.
I tried that still stuck with the "phone+!+computer" screen. No Digging android man. I hold both volume keys, No Power and plug it and still no go.
What did you have running on your phone when you were attempting to flash? What were you flashing?
Did you take the battery out? Open Odin, battery out, try holding just the volume down and power buttons, plug in the phone to pc, keep holding the buttons, then put the battery in. There are different combos that I have read that work for people. You can always pop in the Cognition chat room and see if someone there can help you. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=Cognition Also, was your phone in debugging mode.
This phone is brand new out of box. Nothing Was running just factory settings. I was trying to install the froyo leak via this odin downloader. I've tried that method along with a few others I've fount in search. None seem to help to no avail at all.

You should've left Odin running with the phone plugged in, not trying to kick you while you are down. Go to the Cognition chatroom and see if you can get help. If you bought it from AT&T return it and blame it on the failed OTA, you're within 30 days. I know I'll get **** for saying that but oh well.
I've read that these #1008 Lot phones don't have the ability to get into download via the button combination. That's what my phone is it's a #1008 lot. I didn't buy my phone from AT&T I bought it from an ebay seller.
But you did get into download mode once. You can always send it to Samsung for waranty repair. Call Samsung support, blame the OTA from AT&T.

This made chills go up my spine.
Rhiannon is right, try Samsung warranty method.
yeah I did via ADB tho sending the adb reboot download command. Other than that before that I had no luck with key combination's.

Call Samsung support and send it in for waranty repair. However, the seller sold you a phone that won't go into download mode. Maybe E-Bay could get you a refund. Then you can buy one from AT&T to avoid these types of ussues. Sorry for your trouble, I hope you get it resolved with Samsung waranty repair or the seller. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it on e-bay?

you have to put your headphones into pair mode so can be discovered. just hold the top button until the led is flashing continuos. if it ask you for password : 0000.
done: you paired to the note!

thanks man... i had this for so long and never saw this function... thanks
I have had this galaxy gear for about a week now, and since new the camera has been extremely glitchy. Sometimes it will work no problem, but very rarely. Most of the time when I swipe down to use the camera the screen goes black and stays that way for almost a minute sometimes, before a message comes up saying "warning camera failed" . I have done a hard reset twice now, and made sure I had the latest software update, yet still haven't had any luck. I can still return it to the store for an exchange but best buy where I purchased it from is currently sold out and I am waiting. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and it might be fixable? I have read through a lot of forums but haven't found any information on this.
I have recently been trying to root, and install a custom rom hoping that would solve the problem. I follow the directions exactly from the forums in this site, it roots no problem, and I get the custom rom transferred to the galaxy gear sdcard using wondershare. But every time I get in recovery mode, and select recovery, it reboots and resets my gear. I don't get any options to install in twrp.
Can anybody help?

I facing the same issue also..Which "camera has stopped" problem. i had also send back to service center once and return back with a functional one. But today i once again had this problem and i try to remove out from my hand and twist abit on the belt and the camera able to function. i believe this is hardware problem and this was due to the belt problem. I think i going to send back to service center once again.

Ya that's what I am thinking it must be, I will return mine too as soon as they get some more in stock. But I still haven't been able to figure out why I can root mine, but I cant install the custom recovery so I can install a new rom..
Mine just started doing this, anyone have a resolution other then returning it.
Never mind, i found the issue. The band has separated from the face and cut the cable to the camera.
how long did it take samsung to send you a new one.
After returning my watch to bestbuy I exchanged it for a new one. The new one the band is different and the hole in that was behind eh camera is now gone. I really think samsung is reading these forums

I had the same problem.. did a fresh watch reset/recovery, and its fixed the problem.. not sure if it will for everybody, but in my case it did. My Model# is SM-V700
Step 1: Make sure Gear is powered off
Step 2: Press and hold the power key until you see either the Galaxy Gear rebooting… screen or a blank white screen.
Step 3: Release the power key and then continuously tap the power key until you see the Reboot Select Mode screen.
Step 4: Tap the power key to highlight the "recovery" option.
Step 5: Long press the power key (5-8 sec) to select it.
Solution to camera stopped problem
I hope this helps others. I had not used the watch in many months. I couldn't get it to turn on after a whole day of charging. Read a tip off an Amazon review and it worked -- if your watch is "dead" plug the charging cable into your computer USB port and not the AC outlet. It charged just fine then and works.
Now to the camera problem. I reset the watch and reinstalled. Got the "black screen" and after so many seconds, a message 'camera stopped'. Reset again. Still the same problem.
But I got into the GEAR MANAGER , selected MY APPS and noticed that there was a "+" sign on the top right of the screen. Touched that and it brought up an additional list of apps. At the top it said I has "11/14" apps turned on. I found I could click on the CAMERA and it went to 12/14. Picked 2 more things. Now the Camera is one of the 14 apps on the device. Guess there's a limit
THE CAMERA WORKED PERFECTLY AFTER THAT.

Have you tried connecting it to Kies? Maybe you can get it to reflash or reset that way?

Yes!! I am having the exact same issue. I was told my an att rep to contact Silver light Inc out of California because they make it. I have not done it yet. I plan on going to an att store where I purchased it from. If you would like the silver light phone number they gave me, let me know.
Good news is our watches come standard with a 1 year warranty.
On mine, I noticed I can do a few things still. Right after it reboots if I hold down the home key for 1 second and let it go, I can get into the restart menu and it will connect to my phone, and I can then double press the home key to get to s-voice. As soon as I swipe down to get to the main screen, it shuts off.
Since this is a few days old...did you figure anything out yet?
As to the other user, the watch will not connect to the PC right now because it's stuck in a reboot loop.

AT&T gave me the wrong information. They gave me the information for the company that makes the Martian watch apparently. Damn AT&T.
having the same problem. Won't stop rebooting.
I'm having the same issue. I was woke up in the middle of the night to see my watch rebooting over and over and over. I let the battery completely drain, plugged it in to charge and it just starts the same reboot loop over and over and over, again. I was hoping to find some solution but doesn't seem like many people are having this problem and I don't know how to reset the watch, any ideas?

Let me tell you. ..samsung and att both are being a real pain in the ass about this. So here's what happened so far. I called samsung, they said call att. I called att, they said call samsung. I canned samsung and they said call att. I told them no. I said att told me to call them. Then samsung said take it to best buy and they can fix it. Best buy said they needed a reciept. I left best buy and went to att because this one doesn't have an att store inside. Att gave me the reciept, went back to best buy. The same guy at best buy (the samsung area) plugged it into his computer and 20 seconds later said he can't do anything I have to call samsung. So that's where I am at now. I am so pissed off. Best buy is not close to me. It's about 40 miles away. This is realllllly starting to piss me off.
If I was you I would call samsung for warranty information. If they tell you to call anyone else or go anywhere else tell them no and you want to send it to them for repair. I have a feeling it has to do with the newest software. I can't even figure out how to connect it to Kies or downgrade the software or anything.

first of all if this was clearly already mentioned, I apologize.
I ran into this trouble last night and just wanted to share how Samsung Rep helped me with this soft brick.
this is for someone like me who needed to hard reset the gear 2 neo.
my phone: Tmobile Galaxy Note 3
Problem: Gear 2 Neo would not boot beyond Samsung Logo.
Rootcause(s): 1) was notified to update latest Gear Manager software and update was done. 2) it causes reset on my gear in my case. and it reboot the gear, but it shut off the screen after the logo.
here is what Samsung Agent told me on the live chat.
Please follow below steps to perform hard reset on your watch.
Agent: 1) Power the device off
Agent: 2) Press and hold the Home/power key until you see the Galaxy Gear rebooting… screen
Agent: 3) Release the Home/power key and then continuously tap the Home/power key until you see the Reboot Select Mode screen.
Agent: 4) Tap the Home/power key to highlight the Recovery option.
Agent: 5) Press and hold the Home/power key until the device resets. The device should now recover and restart
again. I couldn't find it in xda last night and I thought I share. if you want to update new Gear Manager, it's up to you. but it didn't help me with my Note 3 and Neo combo. but after this process, all is well. FYI : as all hard reset you will lose everything on the device and will be factory reset.
thanks,

Thank you for that. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Mine boots to a screen that says, "Rebooting". It only appears for 3 seconds, then restarts, and shows the screen "Rebooting".
Here is a video of what is happening, youtu.be/Ny8jghLZrYU
Same problem.
I'm having the same issue with my watch. It is essentially brand new. I've worn at maybe six or eight times since I got it. I feel like I've been horribly abused by Samsung over this , and I can't find anyone to help. Best Buy said they can't help me, and I had the same run around with Verizon and Samsung the other user was having with AT&T and Samsung. I know the watch might not be new tech now, but to me a six-year-old watch is not that old, especially when it has essentially not been used. The battery is good in it, the watch looks perfect and has no scratches, but it's stuck on the loading screen. If anyone has yet found a solution to this, please help.
Hello
Started of i wanted to change the clock so I read to use watch styler, no I could not get this to work. The watch styler is no where to be seem using galaxy gear app on phone as per toutorials. So I read that upgrading to tizen might solve this and it's a better os anyway. First I tried with kies following instructions, this does not work for me.
So I tried odin and the updates file as per instructions again, this did not work either and bricked my watch, managed to save my watch by using the samsung rescue file using odin( repeated this a few times, changing cables like and USB drive and diffrent laptops
Now my watch seems stuck it development mode, won't let
me reset my watch( it just restsrts) and when I clicked version number 7 times I get a message saying there was no need to do this as the watch is in development mode. Wtf?
When I put the watch into download mode I get this now
On the screen.
Current binary custom
System status custom
1 I really want watch styler to customise my clock face
2i really want tizen
3 I don't want my watch in developer mode
3. Heeeelp please it's driving me nuts.
