Hi, I received a Gear S2 for Xmas. A very nice gift. But i have a very big problem, no of my phones (iphone, huawei) or tablet (android) give me the possibility to connect with it.
I read about a new Iphone Gear manager version, but till now I didn't find it.
May anyone of you give me any suggestions to connect my device? I need to setup the time zone at least to put it on my wrist.
Many thanks in advance.
Have a nice day
Same problem here, solved after hours and hours.

Hello Marco
I have G2 Gear and iPhone 6 but I can't make connection between them. Can You help me?
Halid
I had this same exact issue, any info would be appreciated
Currently Gear S2 is not compatible with iphone. Supposedly a gear manager app for IOS will be available soon.
Always good to check compatibility prior to purchase

I ve resolved this problem buying an galaxy s4 like second phone ( me too have like first one the iphone 6 )
Hello,
i'm sorry but today i have not many times :crying: , because i went to shop because my gear s2 was damaged (water in ) and they substituted it with new.
For connect my s2 with my Meizu M2 Note (first time), i used this method:
1) Phone BT ON
2) Power on S2
3) Open Samsung Gear Manager (that will search for S2 and will install plugin); when it found your gear, gear will says "setting up" or something similar. If it freeze with this message... go to 4
4) On your phone, go to settings-BT and un-link your gear s2 from BT device. Power off your phone BT and reboot it.
5) After reboot, re-activate BT and try to link it with gear (from setting-bt on your phone, NOT from samsung gear); confirm linking request on your phone and on yous gear.
6) Try to re-open gear manager.
I made this step something like 50/55 times (sad but true); sometimes on point "5" i link in my phone settings, sometimes i tried to link directly from samsung gear manager.
Tell me if this method works for you too, be patient and remember: if you have not samsung phone, BT have a lot of problem, so you have to reboot phone, gear, BT, a lot of times.
If you update your gear and connect for first time (so your gear show app and not "connect to gear manager"), i'll give you method for connect very fast without reboot and similar (but you have to pass the first activation now).
See you
Marco

hello
i have a galaxy s6 root and run xsterolite rom. when i plug my phone to my windows 10 pc or macbook nether one of them recognize my galaxy. it say charging but nothing else. i update the driver and so on but nothing helps. even putting it in download mode and starting odin nothing? also google it and there was nothing. any ideas what to do?
What kernel are you using? It seems like the phone is in a charge only "state"?. You don't say what S6 you have? 920F? If so, try to flash Hacker kernel from here . See if that will help.
I have the same problem.. no recognition on pc only charging.. slow charging...
When i connect a usb otg hub then no recognition for the hub.. only thing pops up in the notification bar is: usb controller connected and then nothing.. tried everything.. secret codes for usb.. all seems right.. but no recognition only verry slow changing.. and damn i realy want to connect with odin for fixing but.. you can fill the rest for your self in..
Try download Shortcut master lite from playstore, run secret code explorer in it, then code 0808, and set AP and MTP+ADB to see phone as disk in windows, this helped me, hope it will help you.
Offcourse you can also try dial *#0808# and see if that works (rom dependant)
Thank you for answering!
To bad that i already tried it.. and still nothing happens

Send it back to Samsung for a warranty repair. Seems like your usb-board and/or mainboard has a problem. I had exactly the same problem, only slow charging. Got it back with a swapped mainboard and new USB-board.
Thank you! Now i know it for sure! I go to samsung with the device! Thx
I have the same problem. I send it in for repair under warranty but Samsung told me that "every change of the original software (it doesn't matter if the problem occurred because of the software change) leads to loss of the warranty." They wanted to charge me 490$ to fix the problem. I denied and changed my daughterboard by myself but the error is still there.
I think somehow we f*cked our Mainboards up.
Hey guys, it's Latrell.
So I know the solution is already on XDA, but there isn't a proper forum on it, and couldn't find a solution.
So I bricked my Gear S3 frontier (T-Mobile) (SM-R765T) and I'm still trying to find the proper firmware, but at least I can flash it. I was worried that at first I couldn't and I'd have to wait for Samsung to fix it, which would probably be around 2 weeks. And I'm impatient. At least I have my T-Mobile Gear S2 classic and Gear Fit2...
Now if you have the latest (or a flashable firmware that isn't the testing firmware, which I have, so if you need to at least get your Gear S3 started somewhat, let me know and I'll upload it) let me know. I have firmwares, but I'm still flashing them to see which one is the right one. So far no luck...
But I bricked my Gear S3 frontier trying to downgrade from Tizen 3 (specifically 3.0.0.1) because the previous version seemed smoother, but obviously that wasn't a good idea...
Anyways, enough with the rambling... let me show you how to get back to wireless download on your Gear S3 classic or frontier. It's pretty easy.
Step 1: Press and hold onto the power button until it says rebooting, then press the button about 3-5 times, and stop when you get into a menu.
Step 2: Scroll to the Download (Wireless) option until it's green by pressing the power button, then press and hold onto the option until you get the Tizen logo (the blue flower looking thing.)
Step 3: Now here's the part that's going to save you. Press and hold onto the power button for 2 seconds, then let go and press and hold for 1 second. Then repeat until you see "Searching for AP"
Step 4: Double press the power button, and you should see the "Wait for AP connection", and you're done!
EDIT: For the people asking about the "Google FRP lock" even though it's Samsung reactivation lock and you can't sign into a Google account on there, you need the login info or try to reset your password. Samsung has that stuff locked down and you can't pass it.
Now you can use the firmware you've been hunting the internet for.
I hope this helped everybody.
This is what I know... about SM-R765T
The ""good"" news:
Only 3 Firmware versions public released:
Code:
R765TUVU[COLOR="Green"][B]3[/B][/COLOR]CQL1/R765TTMB3CQL1/R765TUVU3CQL1
R765TUVU[B][COLOR="Green"]3[/COLOR][/B]BQI2/R765TTMB3BQI2/R765TUVU3BQI2
[COLOR="Red"][B]R765TUVU2AQA6/R765TTMB2AQA6/R765TUVU2AQA6[/B][/COLOR]
The red marked Version is obsolete... because Samsung Rollback Prevention.
This version is free available here in XDA.
I have also second Firmware with Software Revision 1... free available but also obsolete...
Short summary.
Software Revision 1 free available BUT obsolete.
Software Revision 2 free available BUT obsolete.
We need Software Revision 3 :good:
But I can not find it as free Download... only on paid sites... for money.
To check Software Revision on your device...
Check Odin Screen... example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73607036&postcount=1
Code:
AP SWREV: B:
1
or
2
or
3
But as you wrote Tizen 3... you have Software Revision 3... as Bootloader sboot.bin is written...
Only as info.
Best Regards

Hi
i have opened the watch and connected 4 cables and flashed with watch. so now I have stack in FRP and google account. Do you know how to remove it.
Thanks

You must mean reactivation lock. FRP is Google's lock. And reactivation lock is Samsung's lock.
But as far as I know... no. There's no way to bypass it. It's as tough if not tougher than the iCloud lock. There may be a solution on YouTube but I'm not sure.

Hi, sorry to revive this thread, but once in Wireless download mode and i change the AP mode to SM-R770-A301. How do i get it to connect to my Wifi? i have a google onhub router. Reason im asking is because this thing is stuck on a bootloop and wont perform a reset after selecting recovery on the reboot mode screen.
Edit: nevermind, i figured it out, the watch becomes the AP, duh, stupid me, blonde moment.
habibanwari said:
No, I flashed the watch now. and its asking me to reactivate the google lock. but I don't know the google ID and password. Can you help me to bypass it. :crying:

Google ID and password? On your Samsung watch?
habibanwari said:
HI, I am not able to use the watch, as because after restarting first I need to activate it bypass the google activiation lock. its asking me to activate with the ID that was used in first place.
So can you see if there is a way to bypass google.
I have flashed it with a combination file and I can connect it to wifi and can turn on debagging. :angel:

Does anybody have the latest Gear s3 R760 software (3.0 or later)?
Thanks in advance!!!
Can anyone help me on this one issue? I have the proper software, netodin, got into wireless download mode but on two separate laptops the watch WILL NOT show up as a network I can connect to. I have a demo store unit and need to get a proper stock ROM running so I can get samsung pay going but am having a really hard time for some reason. Any ideas?

Thank you for your post, I have the same problem with a Galaxy Watch SM-R800 , after I have written a combination file I can't get the "Wait for AP connection" message (Can't get throw Wireless Download step, as I did before with pressing power button twice... watch got briked)...heard that there is a usb cable with the connection on the side of the watch near the bracelet but I can't find it to buy or a pinout to make it
@dragosgsm
Check this Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQNOaZ8-BTQ&feature=youtu.be
But before check this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/wireless-mode-enter-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3710855/
You can try the trick with Keys... hold release blabla...
Or if the first WPS Mode is stable... you could look into Document... of netOdin:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73503787&postcount=150
Somewhere is text how "they" use WPS Mode...
Maybe this helps you...
Best Regards
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
So I flashed today and i had the wrong version.
Now I cant get to waiting for ap. I can get logo up but when i hold power for one sec repeatedly watch just turns off.
So I flashed today and i had the wrong version.

Don't be shy...
More infos... what where when?
Nobody has Crystal Ball...
You have what?
SM-R765A for USA ATT or something "else"...
Firmware packages have funny names aka file names for better identification...
If this is not Top Secret... maybe tell what you have flashed...
Example.
Code:
AP_R765AUCU2DSA1_usr.tar.md5
This is 1 of 4 files from Tizen 4 DSA1 Firmware package for SM-R765A ATT...

Hi friend. I flashed combination level 1 or bit 1 to my gear successfully using wireless Odin. But now watch is bricked does not turn on, it goes off after Samsung logo. If I try wireless mode it goes off also after a while on the blue flower page, does not show WPS or AP mode, after while then power off itself. Only stable thing is Odin mode. I am not good in soldering. I don't want to damage watch. It is R760 model. I have firmware file, bit 2 also combination file bit 1 and 2. But I flashed successfully bit 1 combination. Maybe I should have flashed bit 2 ?
If you have a port on the side of the watch with the 5 pins underneath it, you can use the circuit board from the inside of the charger of the original Gear S to connect via USB and flash firmware via Odin (not NetOdin). I've done this for a few different watches that I have bricked while testing different firmwares.
If your watch does not have the port, just use the back casing of one that does.. the pins on the motherboard are all the same. It's just a matter of having the port to be able to connect via USB without trying to manually connect loose wires.
Hi guys,
I have the SM-R500 and I was trying to update the firmware using NetOdin, I could solve it, first with the AP installation.
Then I was able to turn on the device, all good...but then on the step to connect my smartwatch to the wireless (to change the region), and the smartwatch don't find any wireless network...
Then I was trying to do a new installation using NetOdin and when I'm facing the download (wireless screen) I'm facing the attach file error..."wd_cm_setup_ap: Failed to run soft AP -1"
Can anyone have a clue to solve one of the two situations?
Thank you so much in advance.
I‘m stuck on this screen without the possibility to go to AP mode. Any solutions?

Hi all,
I have Samsung Gear S2 R730V since 2018 but I couldn't use it at once because I bought it from an unknown in New York and its locked.
When I turn on the gear it says "Gear S2 (2D55) Reactivation lock in turned on on your Gear. On your, phone sign in to the same samsung account that was used to lock the gear."
I tried a lot to unlock it through various methods but couldn't succeed. There is a post by PaulieP and Bobus008 which seems very useful but I stuck in a process when I tried to reboot my gear in "[B]Download (wireless)"[/B] mode as it doesn't have that option. The reboot menu shows "Continue", "Download", "Recovery" and "PowerOff" options. I don't know how I connect my gear with "NetOdin3". I request all senior members please guide will I be able to use this gear in future ?

I had the same issue with mine (R730A) I had to take off the back and solder an USB cable to the proper connections. You will also have to use Odin3 instead of NetOdin.
