[Q] Is Galaxy Watch 3 working fully with rooted (Magisk) Galaxy phones?

I got a rooted (including eDxposed) Galaxy Note 10 Plus (N975F) and planning to buy the GW3 from the USA.
So far I am able to make the phone pass safetynet, work with Gpay. Samsung Health works thanks to the modified apk from xda.
Samsung pay doesn't work on the phone.
As my phones is rooted - Will I be able to use Samsung Pay on the watch? What about ECG, BP and other fitness measurements?
P.S. To the mods - I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question. I wasn't able to find any other GW3 Q&A forum. Please kindly move it to the right forum if this is not it. Thanks.

I have also a rooted phone and wonder if Samsung Pay, ECG, BP and other fitness measurements can be used or not with a rooted phone

I have the same problem, any solution? I was able to have the health monitor app in the watch, but I can't use it as the phone app says my galaxy is rooted.

This may be slightly irrelevant to you, but I'll share my experience. I have the Galaxy Watch 3 paired to a OnePlus 7 Pro, rooted with Magisk, passing safetyNet.
ECG is not working for me (not available in my region).
Samsung Pay is not working for me. I tested with friends' Samsung phones and they don't have Samsung Pay either (therefore not available in my region so I can't test).
I've read on the forums that ECG is not working with rooted Samsung phones. Rooting a Samsung (or unlocking the bootloader, generally) trips KNOX. If you have KNOX tripped, people reported ECG not working and Samsung Pay getting disabled as well. This happened in THE UNITED STATES where ECG and Samsung Pay are usually working.
Don't take my word for it though, read it for yourself

I have one plus 7 pro with magisk and galaxy watch 3 too... I can use galaxy watch 3 as well, no problem. but when I try to use samsung health monıtor app (installed as apk seperately) it says ''samsung healt monıtor does not work with rooted phone''. safety net passed, magisk hide is on and magisk manager packed with different name. no luck

If you have knox tripped phone:
1) rooted :
- samsung pay (watch) not working
- shealth working (including sync!!!) when ro.config.tima fixed using magisk and magisk configbuild module
- samsung health monitor not working
- btw gpay working using sqlfix magisk module
2) unrooted/official/relocked bootloader:
- samsung pay (watch) working
- shealth working partialy (no sync), to use latest version find xpirt patched version, install it, open, agree to terms...then download latest apk on apkpure, install SAI from google store, settings -> sign apks.. install/update using latest apk using SAI.. now you have latest shealth with no online sync working (so forget 3rd party integrations.. google fit, xiomi scale...)
-health monitor working, but doesnt sync with shealth
Search xda for details if confused..

Samsung pay watch depends on samsung pay on phone, so if the phone isn't working, you can't use it...
S Health works fine since it's tima in build.prop set from 1 to 0...
However, the BP and ECG in Samsung health monitor, you can grab my modified apk and it will work, the app is guarded against root, not just tima in build.prop, but root apps, busybox, xposed and su commands...
Hope that helps...
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Rooted with Galaxy Watch 3...

@Dante63
Thank you.
I already have the watch.
Samsung pay actually works just fine through the watch, although the Spay on the phone doesn't work due to tripped knox.
I tried your modified SHM on the Samsung phone, but it seems to not only check for root, but on Samsung phone it also checks for Knox and then exits with the error that the phone has been modified.
Is there anything you can do to fix it so that it will also skip knox check?
Thanks again

SPay works?
EDIT: Yes it does, good catch... thanks for the info...
As for SHM, then i might have not seen tima and it actually checks build.prop... did you change your build.prop, set tima from 1 to 0 and reboot...? Does your Samsung Health work..?

Yes, I changed build.prop and SH works, but SHM doesn't. Can you fix this?

Just to be sure, you grabbed the files from my google drive...?
If you grabbed the Carabana Mod from androidfilehost, that has root detection...

OK, what's the link and which file should I grab?

@Dante63
Just wanted to thank you for modifying the file and removing the root detection.
I downloaded it from your drive and it works perfectly!

I know it's off-topic, but is it possible to remove root/knox detection from Samsung pay app as well? (the one for the phone, not for the watch)

Samsung pay and any banking apps are heavily guarded against tempering and modifications, so it's not possible...

Yes, and still we can get safety-net to pass with the new safetynet-fix magisk module, hide magisk from other apps (including all my banking apps) and able to use them and google pay without a problem now, except for Samsung Pay app. What makes this app so special compared to the other apps I mentioned?

Samsung Pay rely on several Samsung services and framework apks which are also guarded against tampering and have root detection which is not the safety net...
Root detection comes in forms of apps installed, as you can see from Samsung Health monitor, it also would attempt to look for busybox and attempt to call "su" which is Linux command to get root access and try mounting partitions which all on success would trigger flag rooted...
So Samsung pay has additional protections aside the Samsung Health Monitor ways, it is also guarded like all banking apps with encoded strings, in other words, things you don't know what they stand for and the apps names get encoded to be compared with the provided...
Also, as long in download mode it shows custom and not official, Samsung pay won't work, it is not linked to the knox trip since official Samsung ROM works fine with everything despite the device was rooted before, knox now is mainly for voiding warranty...
I'm not much of an expert in this so some of what I said about know and Samsung pay may not be accurate...
The only things I'm sure about is how strongly they are secure against tampering and detection of root in different forms which even by having a folder named "magisk" on the internal memory believe it or not...

Thanks for the thorough and modest answer.
I personally want to believe that nothing is impossible, I guess it's only a matter of time until this will also get hacked.
The only question is - who will really want to use a hacked samsung pay app when it may contain some malwares or god knows what...

I'd rather not use modified apps related to banks and cards or anything sensitive... there is a reason why they tightened the security on them but SMH or apps that have no important info, well I don't mind if my BP or ECG is leaked lol...

New GW3, latest software, missing (or can't find) SpO2

I picked up a Galaxy Watch3 yesterday to go with my Note20 Ultra. During setup I was notified of an update so I did it. I didn't look for SpO2 prior to the update so I'm not sure it was ever there. But now, after reading and watching videos, I can't seem to find it. I do have ECG however.
Watch software version is R845USQU1BTH4 and the Samsung Health app version is 6.12.0.029. The ECG is done through the Samsung Health Monitor app which is showing version 1.1.0.175 (Sep 24, 2020)
Not sure what's going on. Has this been removed? Anybody else have this update that can verify?
Thanks

You looked inside Wearable App...

Nowhere to be found! When I couldnt find it I went to youtube and watched all the videos. It doesnt show up in the watch. It doesnt show up in the Health app, and some videos show it in the Health Monitor app, and it doesnt show there either on mine!

Figured it out. I had to go into the Wear app on my phone, select Discover tab, search for Samsung Health, and update from that menu. SpO2 now appears. No other methods of checking for updates seemed to find that update.

HI. Does it work for you on non samsung phone? Can you tell my what version of app do you have on the watch?

Hi guys
Any update to getting the SPO2 app working on the Galaxy watch 3 RM845 LTE version.
I installed the Samsung Health app and got BP and EKG to work but no sign of the SPO2 app.

@nanand13
Can you give more details?
SM-R845 F or U?
If you are able to identify your active CSC?
Maybe you allready know how to sign and install TPKs you could test:
SpO2 TPK
Is there a way to extract the SpO2 tpk file from the Galaxy Watch 3 ? I have both watches GW3 and Active 2. I am planning to sideload the SpO2 on the Active 2. Thanks.
forum.xda-developers.com
Best Regards

Hi there adfree
The model is SM-R845F ..... sorry I don't know the process of signing and installing the tpk.
I am not sure if the CSC is as below;
The Software version is as follows;
R845FXXU1DUA4
SM-R845FZKAXFA
One Watch verion = 2.0
Tizen version = 5.5.0.2
SE for Tizen = 2.0.0
TIMA = 3.0.0
Knox Tizen Wearable SDK = 2.5.0
so frustrated with this watch now ... some update happed recently either on my watch or phone and lost the BP and EKG software and had to re-install and recalibrate.
now just the SPO2 does not work ...

Hi adfree
SM-R845 F is my model

@nanand13​
Excuse me.
I am so lazy at the moment and spent more time with playing Evolution 2...
XFA CSC seems South Africa.
I will check the list...
Notify Update
Look here... seems your CSC is not supported for SPO2...
If you like adventures...
And you are able to bypass the TPK Signing problem...
We could try something... as I still need GW3 tester...
XFA is inside OXX Region...
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/XFA/SM-R845F/version.xml
No idea yet, if easy to change CSC to something else...

Hello,
First post here, long time user without an account until now because I am hitting brick walls.
I got the Samsung Watch 3 today, for the sheer use of ECG/BP etc and I own a Samsung S20 Ultra
I followed the video that was on XDA that allowed the APK to install the app on the watch and phone.
The SHM sees my watch but when I push continue to do the set up it states;
"Service is not available
Samsung Health Monitor is not available in your current region"
Hardware Info
Watch:
Model: SM-R840
Tizen: 5.5.0.1
Country
Location: Canada
Phone:
Samsung S20 Ultra
Is there away to get past the region restrictions?
TIA

He meant Samsung Health Monitor. It is separate app which normally works with Samsung phones only.

Thank you very much, it worked.
And now I look for ROM with call recording.

No need to look for the rom, use dialler with call recording. I use True Phone. It is much better than standard dialler, and way more advanced.

I tested it. It only record a calling person.

How To Guide Pair Galaxy watch 4 to Oneplus 10 Pro ColorOS

Hello,
I have a Oneplus 10 Pro running ColorOS 12.1 and was running into an error saying unable to connect to this device every time I tried to pair my galaxy watch. There isn't much information or tutorials when it comes to using these devices using the ColorOS as it seems as if it was meant for Chinese use only.
I finally got my watch paired with my phone and decided to share my steps here.
1. Install the Samsung Health app from the play store
2. Download an old version of Galaxy wearable app and Galaxy watch4 plugin from apkmirror ( I used versions from December 2021)
3. Pair the watch using Samsung Health by opening the app. Click the 3 dot menu and go to settings>Accessories>Scan for accessories. Once paired it will automatically open the galaxy wear app.
4. Close the galaxy wear app and disable wifi and data on the phone.
5. Open the galaxy wear app again and proceed with the setup but decline all options that require you to sign on the watch with Samsung or Google and proceed by allowing the required permissions.
6. That's it, you should now be paired with your watch and you can now sign into your Samsung account through the wearable app and perform a backup/restore if you like,
Hope this helps anyone out there. This was a real pain in the but for me as I find ColorOS to be more reliable than the mess that OxygenOS is since it's now a fork of ColorOS.
My next task is to find out how to get the Google Backup to work. If anyone has any information on this please let me know.
