Looking for help please, I downloaded firmware "R810XXU1ASA1" hoping it would cure a no boot problem. The firmware went on ok but now I have lots of overlaid green and magenta text. At first I could write the firmware multiple times but now for some strange reason I cannot establish a wireless AP connection and the watch reports "Connection fail" in red repeatedly even though it does connect to my PC. I've since learned that the firmware I used was a repair firmware, which is probably why all these hardware settings are overlaid for troubleshooting.
So some question if anyone can help please...
1. Where do i get the actual firmware needed for a UK SM-R810?
2. How can i restore so that the hardware details no longer show?
3. Does anyone know what the NetOdin options each do when flashing the firmware?
4. The original fault was that the watch would show charging to 68% and then go blank, charger would flash, all boot menu options explored without success, anyone go a fix (I assumed corrupt firmware but seem to have got into further trouble in not flashing the NON repair firmware.
Battery is now 100% after charging when in the wireless download mode, oddly in this mode the watch stays on and charges fully no flashing light.
Stumped as to why the watch, even in this repair mode, worked wirelessly and now no longer does.

How right you are, all this time though this was gw3, anyway here are the images... i've blanked out the IP. Ideally i'd rather not have to solder a USB connection. If anyone can share the UK r810 official firmware please?

HI there, I have the dreaded 'unable to scan networks' wifi problem- it started after I set up a mobile AP (I didn't turn the AP service off after I'd finished with it- I wonder if that's what caused it?)...
Anyway, I've since learned via this board that I can fix my wifi by 2 methods: 1) performing a reset (would rather not) and 2) editing a line somewhere, root access is required.
I do have a third option- waiting until the 2.2 OTA update comes through, which I understand will require (and perform) a reset anyway.
However, I'm sick of waiting for 2.2.
What I'd like to know is: If I root my phone & fix my Wifi, will I still receive the OTA update?
Anybody?
TIA.
the 2.2 froyo is not OTA
it is OTK (over the kies)
just turn off your phone, then turn it back on, that should reset your WiFi stuck i/o
some times the GPS does that too, just turn off the phone, turn it back on and they work right away.
in contrast to the HTC Windows Mobile phones, the SGS is much much much better, i barely have to do any restart of the phone with Android
with Windows Mobile it was at least 10 reboot a day
Restart doesn't fix it... Tried removing battery, etc. etc.
The 'unable to scan networks' problem is a known issue- at least to this board, If not to samsung.

Im in the same boat as you mate with my Samsung galaxy s, i have tried turning it on and off with alternate battery in and out methods, my wi-fi just wont work now, it turns on, comes up saying "Unable to scan networks" and turns the wifi off.
I have read on many posts about the issue and the best fix appears to be here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8062313
*Sorry its not linked, this is my first post so i assume it wont let me post links until im roughly around the 25th post mark.
The issue i find with using this method is that in order to browse the phone at a root level to get to that file, you need to pay for the App in the android market to do it.
I have rooted my phone already and already applied the lag fix (boy did that change things), but im more contemplating doing the upgrade to 2.2 than buying the app just to fix a wifi issue. Im hoping this gets fixed in 2.2, or at least a more easier solution / fix.
My question is, if i did buy the app to browse the phones file system and i fix the wifi, does it fix it permanently or just until it happens again and i will have to follow the same process again... ?
did you both turn off Bluetooth when using WiFi?
you can't use BT when using WiFi
I've never had to turn off bluetooth to use wifi before...
However: PROBLEM IS NOW FIXED!!
Here's how I did it:
First, bluetooth was off.
Tried to upload a video shot on the phone to youtube. Got message along the lines of 'will only upload video over wifi'
Next message pops up: 'waiting for wifi'
THEN message box saying' signal strength excellent' & asking for my wifi password!
I've been without wifi for 2 weeks, this is brilliant. Give it a go, try uploading a video to youtube.
I reckon it overwrites the bad line, but who knows. Maybe its a bluetooth thing. I don't care, it worked for me.
Spread the news!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App- over wifi!
how would I go about updating, when 2.2 is official, without kies or rooting? I've lost patience with kies!
This was mentioned on another topic already but here it is again:
Heimdall, Odin, Rom Manager Clockwork just to name a few, there are many other ways to go about this even without Kies

cool, cheers! I think I will try Odin!
Been searching for a while and can't find anything in the forums, or any apps. Thought I would post it here to see if any of the wizards knew of something that might work.
I carry my Note 1 (GT-N7000 international version) without any case in my trouser pocket (screen towards my leg) with nothing else in the pocket. It's the way I like it and works fine for me. But, occasionally the home button will be accidentally pressed. Although it eventually turns itself off, I was looking for an app that would modify the home button so that it only works on a long press (I never use the task manager anyway).
My phone is not rooted and is still running the original 2.3.6 (never got any software update notification).
Has anybody heard of any app (or setting?) that would allow me to do this?
Thanks
I guess you can do it without getting rooted
But you can use apps that work with proximity sensor..Try this one

It never occurred to me to look for proximity sensor apps -- I just kept searching for home button apps.
It works. If the home button is pushed, it almost immediately shuts itself off.
I knew there was a wizard out there.
Thanks.

Just curious that you never got any software update notification. May b "Auto update" & "Push message" under "Settings>About Phone>Software update" are disabled? Try connecting ur phone to ur PC/Laptop through Kies..AFAIK, you should be able to update to ICS..sorry for concentrating on your 2nd issue rather than the main one..

Thanks for responding! Both Auto Update and Push Message are checked. About once I week I manually check for an update, but it says that no update is available.
I can connect via Kies, but I see nothing in Kies about updating the OS.
By the way, this is actually a UK phone that I've been using in the U.S. I don't know if that would make any difference. Everything works fine.
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to upgrade to ICS.
Best regards

Even though u live in the US,you should get all the updates of the UK
Its not required to be in the same country where you bought the phone to get the software update
If you dont get it through ota,you can dowmload the ics rom and flash it through pc odin
You can find all stock roms here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Download either US or UK rom and flash it through pc odin
There are also instructions and screenshots of flashing a rom in the above link
And if you flash ics,do not do any wipes with stock kernel,stock ics kernels are not safe to wipe and may lead to a brick.First root your phone and flash a safe kernel
Thanks to shyamub4u and rajsekhar.300!
Your comments made me start researching Kies, and I found out I was using only Kies Air. I downloaded Kies, connected my Note via cable, and the ICS update appeared. It installed fine. So I got two issues resolved in one post.
Bravo.
Hi,
I broke the screen of my samsung note a while back. The glass is okay, it is the inner screen which is showing a little crack when looked at from an angle. The day it broke i was able to see the screen but after 1 day the screen has become completely black. I am not in my home country and hence can not get the screen repaired, and need some of the files from phone really badly. The trouble is I can not unlock the phone, as i am not sure of what is happening on screen.
I tried to recover data but the phone is locked. If i can either turn on the wifi or 3G of my device by some way ( then I can excess the samsungdive application and unlock my phone) or if I can bypass the pattern somehow or can enter it via pc ( like in know there exist some screen monitoring applications for android 2.0 and below) i can enter inside the phone. I have been trying a lot of stuff and I dnt want to blindly reset my phone ( i think if i reset it I should be able to unlock it). Is there any other option anyone can suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I do not think you can unlock via samsungdive if your phone is not connected to internet. Since my phone is not connected to internet i can not do that via samsungdive.
Thanks

Sorry for not giving full information in last post.
When I connect the phone via usb. It comes as a media device in pc. But when i try to import files or anything it shows nothing available. Also in Samsung kies it comes up as connected but locked. It tells to unlock the device.

I just had the jelly bean update on note. So I am running the default Rom and Kernel ( which should be there after official update). Though I am not that aware about this information.

wasnt your data (2G or 3G) already on? if the data was already on and if you restart the computer it still remains on, moreover there is no harm in trying to unlock from samsungdive. i have lot of ideas coming to my mind but dont know if they would make any sense or may be there is a simple way to do it but i cant think of it.
Hello all,
I need some help. So a family member of mine was recently handed a Samsung Galaxy S Advance to use and it was my intention to see if it were possible to unlock the phone (from Orange UK) allowing her to use her own network on the Samsung. Now I've rooted android tablets a good few times and it's been a breeze but this phone as proven to be a nightmare all day. Basically I decided to use Odin3 to give the phone a clean standard firmware for me to start with (2.3.6) and Odin went fine, in the end it informed me that it had past and I thought everything was okay. But now the device won't start up at all or charge, the only thing that appears to get a response out of it is if I connect the USB cable, disconnect the battery then my PC will inform me of a connection noise and then it suddenly disconnected seconds later. Have I done something wrong here?
Unfortuantly I can't access recovery or download without the screen even turning on. I'd greatly appreciate some help. Thanks.
Hi,
sorry to say but your device is fully bricked.
What you hear when connecting it to your computer is the IROM software or the device probing to see if there is the correct server to connect to.
You need the libusb drivers correctly setup for you computer to recognize the device in this mode, but that is not enough, you need the correct software to talk to the device too.
Some times ago, I have managed to setup such a server (I got the software sources from someone here who gave it to the community) and talk to the device in this mode but never had enough time to experiment with it to send a minimal bootloader (documentation provided with the software is very minimal and somehow "cryptic").
Nobody here ever tried to build up on my searches, having no more time to play with this + this phone starting to be really outdated, I gave up.
Regards
I just bought a Samsung G3 which was a store demo, the phone boots and works OK, but I'm fearing I might not be getting the full potential the phone has to offer and I also hate seeing "Retail Mode " in the menu. I was wondering if I could flash the unit from SM-R840X to the latest firmware for R840, this unit is not LTE, just BT
Thanks in advance
Regards
No risk no fun...
Try first Combination Firmware from SM-R840...
Then in second step Stock Firmware from SM-R840...
If out of luck...
You need USB cable... if your project fail...
Good Luck.
Best Regards
Are you referring these files?
Thanks for the help
I've flashed all the files, my 840 BT was XAR now is ITV. No update from BTG6 despite all around the world they are 2 or 3 different updates after that. Anyone with the R840XXU1BTK1 or more? I don't want to pay easyfirmware cause I have the hardware, I have the firmware, I assume is ridiculous to pay for an update Samsung should delivery to all of us.
So I'm trying to connect to ODIN3 without success, using running Win10, firewall /antivirus etc disabled, , ODIN3 launched as Admin, watch developer mode ON, debug mode ON, set watch to connect wireless, and I get CONNECTION FAIL: CONNECTION TIMED OUT (110) anyone care to guess what I'm doing wrong
Thank you
Have u set it up as WiFi Always in the Tizen connections menu ?
Does anyone have the firmware for this?
I do have a connection via NetOdin3!
