[Q] Reinstalled stock rom, can't get upgrades

Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, basically a few weeks ago I was having problems with my Tab 2 p3110, it just wasn't running right. At around the same time I ordered an EZCAST hdmi device for my tv.
Well, I used Odin and cwm and taught myself how to upgrade to kitkat withCM11 nightlies, great stuff, fixed the issues I was having.
Then my tv dongle arrived, the one feature I wanted to use more than anything was screen mirror/AirPlay. No you can imagine my dismay when I couldn't even find the option in cm11, I found cast screen but it wouldn't work.
So, having tried several nightlies hoping the problem would be fixed I settled on reinstalling the stock 4.2.2 rom following the instructions on here. It bricked my tab 2 but I managed to get it going again and reinstalled the stock rom after several days of trying.
All this to find the screen mirror option was not available on the stock rom!! I can't figure out why but thought, maybe, an upgrade was needed, so I headed to the update tab to be told that my device was modified, updates are not available!
To be honest I'm ready to throw it in the lake behind my house I'm that frustrated, does anyone have any suggestions on getting screen mirroring working?

Here... get the clean firmware here. It will give a pure system that won't trip the modification check.
It will also give you the factory recovery system.
Look up the p311x PIT file and when in odin pick the size that matches your tablet.
If it hangs at boot try doing a factory reset from recovery.
That's what worked for me to allow me to check updates.
I can't say that this will fix screen mirror, since I've never used it or seen the option on my p3113

Thanks for that. I can't find my model number on the list, The british one is close and as thats where I live i think i'll give that a go.
Thanks again for your help

Didn't work, still saying that the device has been modified and in download mode shows "count 1"
Any other ideas?

Triangle away?

Hey, I use my tablet with the Samsung Smart View ap.
You must have the right samsung tv for it to work and it's not perfect, but it is a nice feature. I stopped updating my tab because this is the most important feature for me.
I rooted my device and have the same issue as you, that's how I came across this thread.

Sorry for the N00b question, I really want to thank you for the excellent work but I am a little confused. I used Odin and flashed the ROM but wanted to move on to more customization and got stuck when I got to the part that says: n order to use all the customization options you need to use sdb:
I see the instructions but where do I get the sdb and find the directory with the shell script.
Thanks for the understanding

Nexus 4 - Lollipop
Hello,
I have recently upgraded my Nexus 4 to Lollipop, and now the Gear Manager app does not work. In KitKat, I would just install the main apk and it would automatically install all the additional software. When I start the app, it just says that gearmanager has stopped.
I have tried using different versions (1.1xxx and 1.2xxx), even installing the secondary apps from the 1.1 versions. I installed TizenMod 3.0 on my Gear1 and I am able to pair it via BT outside of the app.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Can't connect Gear running TizenMod 3.0
Hi, I have a Samsung Gear 2 Neo running TizenMod 3.0 which I was able to install fine. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S5 running CyanogenMod 11. I am unable to connect my gear to my phone using the Gear Manager, I have tried the latest, the previous version and the one before that.
My Gear just says "Unable to connect to your phone. The Bluetooth connection time out"
I have tried resetting the gear but still doesn't work

Got a Problem
thx skin1980 for the great support and effort!
unfortunately i got a problem with my gear1 like many others do...
i installed your signed gearmanager on my lg g3 and it works until... i tried to use watchstyler (signed from first page)
but the gearmanager dont show me the watchstyler in the clock-settings at all. everytime when i try to apply a theme on
watchstyler, it directs me straight to the manager, but like i said, there dont appear the styler
i also cant use any older gearmanager that worked fine with watchstyler, simply because i'm on lg.
so is there any method to get the styler working in the newest gear manager for my gear1 ????
thank you for your help!

Hello experts,
Thanks for all the threads and useful info. I'm new to the Galaxy Gear world and Tizen..
I have a rooted LG G2 running CM11 on it.. Recently purchased a Gear 2 Neo. I'm able to pair the gear with the phone and use most of the functionalities of the Gear 2. As I went through the threads, I'm slowly expanding the stuff on my Gear 2..
1) I was able to install the Rolex Clock Widget using sdb as well as an alarm widget
2) I was able to install a blue theme package as well..
3) I'm using Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 on the phone. Any newer version than that is not installing on the phone properly (rather its installing but when opened immediately tries to download more files and fails). Hence I'm stuck with this Gear manager 2.1.14071502
My biggest problem is that I'm unable to use any apks available. I'm downloading the apks from the links and simply putting it on my phone. I've tried Gear Navigator, watchstyler, d.m.a naviwatch.. It says 'Warning : Failed to Install the app' on the phone. I'm really stuck with this.. What am I doing wrong? Is this a device limitation or a Gear manager limitation?
I've taken the apks and also followed skin1980's instructions to remove the signature, build the project and take the wgt file and put it back in the assets folder and use that apk.. Still the same result..
Can anyone please help or suggest as to what I'm doing wrong?

Help getting the Gear Manager/Gear 2 running on AOSP Lollipop

Hey all, As I'm sure other people are I am trying to get my Samsung Gear 2 connected to my Galaxy S5 running the latest CM12 nightly. Unfortunately, Since Lollipop, as far as I'm aware nobody has been able to get the Gear Manager to function correctly on Non-Touchwiz roms.
I have tried just about every combination of installing, uninstalling and restoring from TW roms with Titanium backup that you could think of. Nothing will allow my device to function correctly. Upon pairing with the app, the most common crash is HostManager. The watch will pair but as soon as it does, You get repeated messages of 'Unfortunately, HostManager has stopped.' and the Gear manager app stays at 'Conneting to Gear'. The only way to stop the crash loop is to turn of Bluetooth or Freeze the HostManager app.
Surely there is some way to fix this? I haven't seen a lot of people looking in to it despite the fact that a number of people must want to run their Gear device with an AOSP-type rom?
Here is the logcat from the installation of the HostManager APK (I don't think this is useful, as it all installs correctly but added anyway just in case): pastebin<dot>com/eWp2AuHd
And here is the Logcat from the crash of HostManager: pastebin<dot>com/N0eWGZRL
Sorry about the links, The logcat is too long to fit in an XDA post and I'm below the post count required for posting links, and I don't want to meaninglessly post just in order to insert links.
As you can see I left a large buffer of the logcat around the crash in case there is any other important information about what is going on.
Any help here would be appreciated. If you can fix it and have a PayPal I'll buy you a beer or two

So sad...

Unfortunately I was unable to get it to work. I went and bought a Gear Live insead.

Did this with unrooted HTC m9 and unrooted Gear 2 with latest FW.
Deleted all the files installed on phone from gear manager.
Download latest GM files (extract/ed from APK)
Install every apk except Host Manager and install Gear Manager App as last
Open GM and connect your Gear 2. As soon as it tries to install Host Manager hit home button/go to your file explorer App on your Phone and install Host Manager 2.2.14100299
Open GM again and cancel Host Manager installation.
Have a little patience and it should show you the option to accept the terms.
Set Notifications in GM App on your phone.
If you prefer Root for Gear then you can root your Gear without problems and you don't have to do this all over again.
Sideloading APK's working fine, had S Voice running but coulndn't connect to watch yet.
Changed Bootscreen, sounds and more without problem.

Redmen What OS are you running? 5.0.2? or 5.0.1?

5.0.2 with software: 1.32.401.15

Mmmm, I'm running 5.0.2 CM12S on my OnePlus One, and a friend and myself cannot get it to connect in Gear Manager and activate on the watch itself. My thought was since none of the Samsung Galaxies have 5.0.2 yet, Samsung hasn't build a apk for that version yet. I hope they will update it soon.

Wondering the same thing, love my nexus but rendered my gear 2 pretty much worthless. Any advancements towards this?

There is one way I know how, but it's a royal pain in the butt.
Do a nandroid restore to 4.4.4, install the old gear software like it once was installed. then update to Lollipop like normal, and install the latest gear manager. The problem is that the watch has to BE paired already to your phone, and without wiping (so you don't loose your bluetooth unique ID) update to keep the pair.
In my case, I took a nandroid backup before I updated to lollipop, so I restored it, paired it, used titanium backup to copy my programs and data for the watch and the bluetooth ID, then restored back to lollipop because it was a OTA update which didn't change my settings... updated to the latest Gear manager, and restored my Bluetooth settings= Profit...
However 2 problems I am having, is my watch doesn't want to answer the phone, and Saproviders keeps crashing, so I removed saproviders... everything else works fine.

This isn't a viable option for those of us that want to swap to an AOSP based ROM. I've tried this, and while it will pair with the phone OK, the gear manager software doesn't work, therefore you can't receive notifications on the watch. The only function that works when you do this is answering phone calls on the watch, as this can be done without Gear 2, as it uses A2DP (I think) so will work with any bluetooth phone for hands-free.
There is also no way to OTA update from a TW ROM to a custom ROM, unless you are referring to an OTA update from a 4.4.4 based AOSP like CM11 to 5.X/CM12?

Correct. I went from cm11 to cm12 on my one plus via OTA.

Yea tried that. Normally thr gear app would pop up and try to pair with the gear s2 but its not doing that. Ive manually downloaded the three Samsung gear APKs on the other thread...believe it was the gear plugin, Samsung accessories, and Samsung gear app. The app is giving the error saying Samsung gear cannot install due to custom ROM.

Hi!
I tried to install the Samsung Gear App and get the same Error that the OS has been modified unauthorised... :-/
My Question is: Did someone try this App after insalling the stock ROM again?
I don't want to backup and reinstall all apps and data...
Thank you for your help!

I have been through this rodeo, and I have noted a couple things.
1) Unlocked Bootloader: Doesn't matter, I am currently running Phils Recovery on my TW Official OK4 ROM, Gear and android pay work fine.
2) CM12.1 or CM13, not rooted or removed root: Doesn't work. Root is not the only thing both apps are looking for.
3) TW Custom ROM: Doesn't work. Could not get it working on my MOAR 7 rom which is based on TW.
4) STOCK ROM with Phils Recovery: Works fine if I don't root.
So obviously the check goes beyond root, and probably some combination of Software Version / Build Number or some other reference point to detect the ROM.
The reports of hiding the root on a custom ROM to get Android Pay to work, simply don't work. My hunch is that whatever Android Pay is using, is the same mechanism as the Gear Manager app from Samsung.
In the end, frustrating, because TW stock is completely slow, and kills my battery, and does stupid things like turns on my screen anytime I put it on an inductive charging station, or won't allow me to turn the volume to max over BT because of communism... or socialism... or whatever.

So, if i install the stock rom (recovery stays the same) the app will start without a problem and the connection to the gear s2 is fine?

Yes. Unfortunately the TW rom does suck, and has a bunch of built in stuff you can't turn off. If you are used to (like me) with a ROM that makes any kind of sense in it's design, then it's a beotch to switch back (kiss the battery life goodbye). On a good front, the Gear S2 is pretty awesome....

Hey!
I got my Samsung Gear S2 today and i'm installing my apps again.
Gear Manager started without a problem and the connection to the Gear S2 was established in a second!
Of course i'll install another launcher!

GT-N8010 - Firmware Upgrade

Hey there!
Just ran into some troubles with my GT-N8010. I had been using stock on it for quite awhile, but have been noticing that many of the newer apps do not work with JB. I had rooted and used my Asus Transformer before, figured that it was probably about time to get some more life out of the Note 10.1.
My first option was to upgrade from JB to KitKat. Unfortunately there is not an official update in Canada, but using Odin I should have been able to upgrade it. This is where the issues came. First, it failed twice. I restarted the computer, and tried it once more. Success! It was downloading. It took a few moments, but eventually it failed as well. The download stopped and I was left looking at my tablet having 3/4 of the install complete. I left it for awhile, hoping that it would restart itself or reload. Nothing happened, and I had to restart the tablet.
Situation now: I am stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
First thing I tried was getting to the download screen, so I have that. I figured I could just flash it back to the offical JB from Canada, but now it's like the computer won't recognize the device. Even unplugging and plugging the USB back in does not even give me the PC Recognizing sound. I moved to a laptop, and it could read the device, but once I installed Samsung USB and Keis, it stopped. Odin doesn't recognize it and I am not sure where to go from here.
Is using the SD card an option? Can I somehow force the computer to read the tablet?
I have looked through the forums, but didn't really see much in the way of help.
I hope to hear from you guys! Thanks in advanced! If I need to provide more information, please ask.

Is using the SD card an option>>> NOT for stock custom rom only .

I don't mind installing a custom rom at this point. If it is still an option at this point the I don't mind at all. If there is anyway you could point me towards that option, I will definitely give it a shot.

The development threads.
You will need to flash a custom recovery tar through Odin .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490954

Part of the problem is that the Odin, even my PC, are not recognizing the the Tablet is connected through my USB. So I cannot flash anything right now.

I figured it out. It was all because of my cord. I went out and got a new one, flashed 4.4.2 easily. Hope that helps everyone who has issues as I did.

Hi, I've read your posts. Helpful.
I'm in the situation of having tried to flash a custom recovery, to then flash a custom ROM.
Started Odin, began to flash, then Odin showed failed.
Now the n8000 no longer starts, just hangs after the Samsung logo/music.
I do have two different cords, so will try that later.
Question, did you end up flashing a custom ROM later, and if so, which one?
Thanks.
