Downgrade from Tizen 3.0 R770 Gear S3 Classic - Samsung Gear S3

I looked for about two days and couldn't find a clear solution for dummies like me and a lot of people who will get to the forum after the Tizen 3 update. Everything is pretty much for the Frontier version except one thread, but it is still unclear what exactly does it accomplish(at least to me).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/rom-samsung-gear-s3-classic-sm-r770-t3646789
Can someone tell me how to downgrade to 2.3.2.3 or 2.3.2.4 or whatever is the latest before Tizen 3. Do you loose SPay after downgrading? Do you lose OTA? Ideally I would like keep Spay and also get future OTA. Hopefully Samsung will fix the issues in the future, but I doubt it. I was perfectly happy with 2.3.2.3. The watch was super snappy and had superb battery.
Also,
I can't seem to find netOdin available to download from anywhere. I was going to follow to steps in the above mention thread, but netOdin is not available from the link.
Every comment is appreciated!

Please, maybe you expect toooo much from other users.
1.
Samsung is also not able to tell you about all risks and what not work...
Example Samsung Pay.
2.
BQC5 is from March 2017...
SM-R770 have no BQH1 for Odin is not for free avalaible yet...
Nobody shared.
BQC5 means timewarp back... nearly 1 year...
3.
Flashing with netOdin is NOT complete riskfree...
You can brick your device...
Own risk!
4.
If you came from BQC5... then you have same status... or nearly same status like before you update to Tizen 3...
If you BQH1 user... then maybe you lost Spay functionality...
5.
If you not able to remember BQC5 or BQH1...
With help of SDB Tool you could check your active CSC/Sales Code...
6.
For netOdin...
Please increase your Search Algo...
Use Search Button in XDA...
You can also search via Google or simple read also other Threads...
7.
We don't know how long Samsung need for fixed Tizen 3 update...
IMHO 2 weeks or more...
Plase take time to plan your next steps.
Reading can help you.
Best Regards

I really really appreciate your time writing this post. A lot of it still unknown to me, but will try to do my best to understand it tomorrow morning.
I wasn't saying that I am looking for a risk free option. I was saying that I am looking for a simple option.
I just did another search again for netOdin. Yes there are couple of treads that have a link for it, but once you go in it is missing. It was uploaded to OneDrive. It is not there anymore. I also googled it and the closest I got was to a chinese website which I need invitation to access the forum and download it. So I understand where you are coming from by saying there is no free meal, but I am telling you that I did my research.
Now, I have too learn how to use SDB tool( no idea what it is). I am not gifted like some of you guys here and trust me I am not the only one in this boat.

My understanding on this is that if my Sales Code is BTU when I check with SDB then I was on BQCT which would mean that I can downgrade and still have Spay. Correct?
Again, Thanks for your time

netOdin is for instance here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/tutorial-downgrade-gear-s2-sport-t3334123
Here are few Infos... text and Video related to netOdin:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73503787&postcount=150
Here Video with Gear S3... you not need all infos... but you see how netOdin work:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4MSzn2hbMw
About Samsung Pay...
No idea... own risk.
Sorry. All I can say.
Own risk for flashing with netOdin
Own risk for Samsung Pay
SPay trouble and Flashing problems are 2 different things.
Your decission how mandatory Spay is for you...
Maybe you have luck... maybe not.
Sorry.
I have no Crystal Ball
P.S::
XDA Search seems offline... for me...
I was not able to search for netOdin via Search Function...
Best Regards

Thanks again!
I wasn't sure if wifi Odin is same as netOdin. Didn't want to risk it.
I hear you about Spay and that issues may arrise when flashing.
If everything goes well with flashing/downgrading and only issue is no SPay, can it be updated in the future to tizen 3.0.*.*?
I guess my question is once this is done and there is no SPay is that forever? Does it have something to do with Knox like on Samsung phones?

Ok. I am on 2.3.2.3 now. I have forgotten how zippy the watch was. Happy so far, will have to wait and see battery life. But unfortunately no SPay...
Any tricks/options of enabling SPay?
Will future update fix SPay on its own?
Thanks for your help adfree!

About not working Spay...AFTER downgrade I have heard and read...
But I am not using Spay...
I can NOT make own tests...
GT-I9300 with Android 4.3 is tooo old... I have no Credit Cards...
Please check this Thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/ser-package-2-3-2-3-gear-s3-russiaplease-t3716874
SM-R760 but same situation...
For SM-R770 we have NO BQH1 nor CQK3 for public FREE download...
So I will ask SM-R760 user... if they jump back to CQK3 Firmware...
SPay works again?
Or some other Security mechanism dripped...
Because the MAIN app is the Samsung Pay in Handset... I mean the Phone Part...
Maybe Gear Manager SPay Plugin stores downgrade infos???
For Knox you can check your Gear SM-R770 in Download Mode...
Warranty Void 0 (0x0000) :good:
Example if Knox is dripped, look at Photo:

Galaxy S2 sm-r732x and Galaxy S2 sm-r720x help needed

I was given (from work) a Galaxy S2 sm-r732x and a Galaxy S2 sm-r720x (demo smartwatches). We no longer stock them and they were going to be thrown away, so I asked if I could have them.
Anyway, I downgraded the firmware using odin (using one of the threads on here). I am looking for the latest firmware for both watches but cannot find them anywhere. I live in the UK and have non 3g models.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Be carefully.
For the Live Demo Units you need correct Firmware...
SM-R732X
I have only at the moment the Combination Firmware...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/orig-development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r732-t3584508
R732XXXU2AOI8
WARNING! This is special Factory Service Firmware... it is rooted.
We could try to work together...
Because I need dump of boot0 partition... :angel:
Stock Firmware... Normal Firmware is only on paid Site...
We could try to change SM-R732X to SM-R732...
Please understand this is not easy... and maybe also prepare to fail...
Then you have minimum to do something like this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72097974&postcount=113
Before flash something.
Are you able to connect via SDB Tool to find out which Bootloader or Firmware is on these devices?
There are also few limitations with Combination Firmware...
Downgrade is not "allowed"...
Best Regards
Hi, I have already flashed the watches with new firmware, I am just looking for the most up-to date firmware as both watches cannot be upgraded via Gear Manager as I get the following message:

I have no idea how low or high chance is... that Live Demo Units have same Firmware version as latest... last...
IMHO Samsung has no reason to support Live Demo Units same time like commercial Retail Version...
No idea which version(s) you have now on device...
No idea if Live Demo Units Firmware floating for free around in Internet...
This could be not impossible...
Google could help...
Yes, Gear Manager is really "funny" Software...
I can not use it because Reactivation Lock is enabled...

I can not find any Live Demo Firmwares... not for SM-R732X nor SM-R720X
not for free, only paid...
Maybe I have to search harder.
I need such Firmware for investigation.
The only Firmware is SERVICE/Factory Firmware for SM-R732X... the Combination Firmware...
Can you tell me please, which Firmware is on your device(s) and if possible... you found free available Download Link?

I am wanting the latest sm-r720 and sm-r732 firmware, not the 720x and 732x firmware. I followed the guide on here about downgrading the firmware to work with iphone. I am currently on firmware:
sm-r720: R720XXU2AOJ3
sm-r732: R732XXU2AOJD
Why you not told you are allready switched to Retail...
I have found few days ago also:

For SM-R732.
By simple Google search.

A little OT, but I have a SM-732 bought in the US. What firmware do I need to flash to the UK? I want to use Samsung Pay which has just been launched here, but I think I need the UK firmware (correct me if I am wrong!)
I have no problem...
If you have an Question, post it...
Only problem I have... I am scared about hints for Samsung Pay crap...
Sorry, I am tooo paranoid.
I would never use such stuff nor I would try to "hack" it...

Where can I find firmware with US CSC? I want to flash it to get Samsung Pay working in the US.
Does anyone have the latest firmware for these 2 watches? I'm looking for the firmware that was only released a few days ago Any help greatly appreciated.
I am currently on versions: R732XXU2EQH1 and R720XXU2EQH1.
In theory your Download wireless should be "disabled"...
So you can not update via netOdin... IMHO.

I have no idea how low or high chance is... that Live Demo Units have same Firmware version as latest... last...
IMHO Samsung has no reason to support Live Demo Units same time like commercial Retail Version...
No idea which version(s) you have now on device...
No idea if Live Demo Units Firmware floating for free around in Internet...
This could be not impossible...
Google could help...
Yes, Gear Manager is really "funny" Software...
I can not use it because Reactivation Lock is enabled...
No idea what Gear Manager detects... depend on your Firmware...
Custom... Official... Root
Are Live Demo Units rooted like Combination Firmware?

I was able to install R720XXU2AOIA_R720XOXA2AOIA on my SM-R720, not sure now if root works nor how to try it

is there a way for me to manually upgrade from Tizen ver 2.3.2.3 to Tizen Ver 3.0.0.1

Hello Friends,
Is there a way for me to upgrade from T 2.3.2.3 to T 3.0.0.1? I have an R760 and am tired of waiting.
I know all the issues with battery and such, but still want to do this.
any help will be appreciated.
regards
CQK3 Firmware for SM-R760 is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/rom-r760xxu2cqk2-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3712576
You need netOdin to flash with WiFi...
Instructions floating around... I hope you find them...

Thanks -- I have seen CQK5 and CQK6 being discussed,,, should I worry about the final digit?
BR
CQK6 I saw... for instance for Luxemburg... LUX
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/LUX/SM-R760/version.xml
No idea where you saw CQK5
Depend how urgent you want Tizen 3...
It is ever good to know which CSC/Sales Code you have... so you will know if CQK3 is valid for your Sales Code...
At the moment NO other Retail Version leaked... for use with Odin...
Your decision.
Own risk!

How to downgrade from Tizen 3.0 to old version for the Frontier?

Hi,
Is there a guide to downgrade the Frontier from Tizen 3.0 to the old version. I have problems with the Gear S plugin crashing, rendering my device useless and want to go back to the old version. Unable to find any for the S3 Frontier. Please advise.
SM-R760 you can choose between older BQC5 from March... or newer BQH1.
Possible sideeffects... Samsung Pay maybe not work...
Depend on your active Sales Code/CSC
If you search, you can find BQC5 and also BQH1 here in XDA...
Instruction is same like Update... with netOdin.
Tested from CQK3.
Maybe later Samsung could update their Rollback Prevention.
For now only use Software Revision 2... like:
Code:
[COLOR="Green"][B]2[/B][/COLOR]BQC5
[COLOR="Green"][B]2[/B][/COLOR]BQH1
NOT try APK7 or other with 1:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"][B]1[/B][/COLOR]APK7
RISK to brick and loose WiFi for Flashing!
Best Regards

Geasr S3 Frontier --still on 2.3.5

Hi,
How can check CSC of my gear s3 frontier. I m stuck on 2.3.2.3 and it always say u have the latest version already installed. Can someone help? i got as a gift and no idea where this belongs to as it was purchased from another owner.
SM R760
Current build : R760XXU2BQC5
Thanks
My CSC is OXA, as i found by dialing *#1234# on watch. Can someone confirm is OXA was updated or not?
How to identify product code??? i have box etc but needs help.
You are able to work with ADB?
If yes, then SDB is "same"...
No need of any "Box"... as SDB works also over WiFi...
Btw...
Only few CSC at the moment have Tizen 3 updates...
MOST other CSC still on BQC5 or BQH1...
Code:
KOO for Korea
XAR for USA
These are confirmed CSC at the moment...
So you are not alone.
Best Regards
Thanks a million. Can you help me with SDB? where to get and use.. any code to check country? it says country of origin VEITNAM, and on box some other language is printed which is not english atleast
This is the box. Can you help
My fault...
I thought with Box you mean "Professional Tools"... like RIFF Box or Z3X Box...
I see russian... so it could be SER... as Sales Code...
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/SER/SM-R760/version.xml
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/SER/SM-R770/version.xml
SM-R760 and SM-R770 for SER still on BQC5... this is CORRECT...
To check if my idea is correct...
SDB + Instruction is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330
Commands are here:
In old Tizen 2.3
Code:
vconftool get -t string db/csc/salescode
In CQK3 Tizen 3 Firmware this work:
Code:
cat /csa/csc/csc-active-customer.inf
Code:
cat /csa/imei/prodcode.dat
Simple Copy & Paste...
Best Regards
Will try sbd today and share feedback. Anyone knows when will users others than usa nd kor will get tizen 3. Any other simply way to update?? As i have heard that battery fix is also available
Hi,
I'm in the same situation like you. My Gear S3 Classic R770 (OXA) still running 2.3.2.3.
How can i force update it to Tizen 3?
We should not perform force update as CQK3 has been removed and it was hell buggy. Wait for the fixed OTA. Fingers crossed.
As per sammobile....updated tozen 3.0 has started rolling today again...for other regions in batches

Hey Guys,
Check your updates. Just received mine. Specially the people with CAC Sales Code.

Had battery replaced now tizen 3.0 gone

Hi I had my battery replaced under warranty and when I got it back my brand new tizen 3.0 os was gone and the pervious os was there. I factory reset the watch and checked for update and it said the most recent update was installed. Any advice?
1.
Model Name?
Example:
SM-R760 or SM-R770 or SM-R765 or SM-R775
1.1
If LTE... please not forget last A-Z
SM-R765A or SM-R765T or SM-R765L ...
2.
Check your Firmware Version... with Code:
Code:
*#1234#
Then maybe we could try to help you...
Best Regards
Thanks
SM R760
R760XXU2BQI2
TIZEN 2.3.2.4
I really appreciate you taking the time to try to help
Tim
If you Google for:
Code:
R760XXU2BQI2
Found only 1 hit...
I have no idea for which CSC/Sales Code...
You could update to:
A.
BQC5 Firmware
Then check FOTA... update over the air
If not update to latest CQL1, then...
B.
CQK3 is the old "buggy" Tizen 3...
But we have CQL1 not as Full Firmware...
C.
Or you check your active CSC/Sales Code... with Tool:
SDB
So we know if valid CSC/Sales Code is set... so it is easier to identify Firmware...
Depend on you.
If you want flash your device with netOdin...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
netOdin + some instruction + Videos:

Same here got watch back from warranty and haven't been able to upgrade to the new tizen.
AP R760XXU2BQ12
CSC R760OXA2BQ12
Tizen version 2.3.2.4
anybody found a fix for this?

BQI2 seems "Service" or not public Version...
No idea for which CSC/Sales Code released... if released...
If you use Google you are landing in 1 hit... here:
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...n-after-gear-S3-app-update/td-p/98171/page/26
My suggestion...
Use netOdin...
Flash CQL1... with netOdin.
You can do this at home...
No Rocket Science...
This is the only worst case scenario... if no luck:
