How to downgrade from Tizen 3.0 to old version for the Frontier? - Samsung Gear S3

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

Tizen 3.0 Gear S3 Verizon but not connected to Verizon. How will I get Tizen 3.0?

I have the Gear S3 Verizon version but I am not currently connected to Verizon. Will I ever get the 3.0 Tizen update if I am not actually connected to Verizon? When Verizon finally pushes the update to the Gear S3, will it get pushed to mine even though I am not activated through Verizon yet and only use it currently through Bluetooth?
We will see...
But at the moment none of the SM-R765 "family" got Tizen 3 Update.
NO for:
Code:
SM-R765(S)
SM-R765A
SM-R765N
SM-R765F
SM-R765T
So you are not alone with SM-R765V.
At the moment you can only wait...

I know that, I know that no one with Verizon got the update yet. BUT, when Verizon does release the update will I get it to even if I am not running my Verizon Gear S3 through Verizon?

I think you SHOULD get it pushed thru the connection to a device and Sammy Gear App

IMHO it is hard to look into future... without Crystal Ball.
IMHO easier... VZW Firmware is online... confirmed from other users...
THEN you try the normal way with Samsung Gear App and check for Firmware...
THEN you will see:
Work or not work.
And if not work... It is possible to find why it not update...
Chance to fix.
We know nothing about your configuration...
No idea which handset... Samsung or other Manufacturer...
We not know if Samsung will force to update to new Plugins or new Gear Manager Software or...
Maybe connection problems maybe...
I hope you understand now... why I answered so in my first post.
Best Regards
The answer to your question is yes. Your phone downloads the software, then pushes it to your device. There is no dependency on whether or not it has a mobile connection. That would be a huge oversight considering gear s3s that are wifi only dont have an issue getting updates.
I have the SM-R765A (LTE) from ATT and I have not received the update yet. What site are you referencing that shows no update yet for the 765 Family? Also, is it Samsung or ATT delaying the update? It wouldn't surprise me if it's ATT.
Thanks

This is 1 way to check FOTA Firmware from Samsung Server. Without buying these devices...
These are no Direct Links...
IMHO usefull if somebody ask about Firmware..
Maybe not usefull for you... but maybe for someone else.
Example...
ATT User ask about latest Firmware for SM-R765A...
Then I can check this Link:
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/ATT/SM-R765A/version.xml
With open eyes I can see latest Version is at the moment:
Code:
R765AUCU2[B]BQD4[/B]/R765AATT2BQD4/R765AUCU2BQD4
So BQD4 is latest Firmware for ATT SM-R765... and it is NOT Tizen 3.
User can compare infos on device by checking About device infos... or by typing Code:
Code:
*#1234#
Same for Verizon SM-R765V...
Code:
R765VVRU1AQF4/R765VVZW1AQF4/R765VVRU1AQF4
Latest BUT not Tizen 3...
IMHO earliest Tizen 3 Firmware for SM-R765 family will start with CQK. or in December CQL.
So wait is all you can do...

I'd ask why you want 3.0... Then I'd Google: gear s3 tizen 3.0 battery issues.
Some are saying hard reset fixes, but others state it hasn't.
I'm not personally aware of the 3.0 benefits as I've not researched yet, but odds are I'll wait to let it update until I see it sorted.
I can't think of any feature that would be worth giving up three days battery for inside 24 hours...

Samsung has released a new update to address the problem
I Have the latest (?) version Tizen 3.0.0.1 (BT version watch).
R760XXU2CQK3
When checking for update (tried more than ones and more than one day), I get notification:
"Unable to update the software. A network or server error occured. Try again later".
Watch is connected to network. Tried also another network. But same result.
Checking if watch makes a good network connenction: I can install watchfaces etc. So this is not the problem.
Anybody any idea? Someting wrong with de Samsung server?
(from Holland)
No idea why...
But seems ATT Tizen 3 Firmware online...
Code:
R765AUCU2CQL1/R765AATT2CQL1/R765AUCU2CQL1
Can somebody confirm?

Downgrade from Tizen 3.0 R770 Gear S3 Classic

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.

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.
If this means BTU Sales Code?

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:

Here Video with Gear S3... you not need all infos... but you see how netOdin work:

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:

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?

If you Google for:
Code:

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

Any one was able to get samsung pay on gear s3 working in france?

I have tried and flashed every single combination file and every firmware and csc. I have also changes the csc multiple times through keystring to XEF,XAR..etc but was never able to even show the spay app in the watch.
I bought my gear s3 from philippines so i guess it is the internationale version, is there a way to make spay available in it? since it was already launched for gear in france late july.
So if any one was able to get it working in france please indicate the PDA,CSC version and model and if there is any firmware/ROM that can be flashed. I really want this feature.
My gear s3: sm-r760

BQH1 is Tizen 2.3...
You tried with Tizen 3 Firmwares?
And your Phone can install Samsung Pay?

I have updated with no luck, do you know where i can get the ROM tizen 3.0? and yes i have samsung pay on my s9 plus working
I was able to get it working in france with lydia virtual card, after long hours of trying different methods . here are the steps:
1- follow this guide to change the CSC code of your watch to BTU (United kingdom)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/guide-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226
2-Download samsung pay for gear from apk mania or any other site
3-after changing the CSC the watch will reset and you open samsung pay for gear and it will install the app on the watch and asks you to add a card
I have done it and it is working fine.
