Hi folks,
i'm using a samsung smartphone (rooted) to connect to my gear s3.
right now i'm looking for :cyclops: the possibility to safe the *.tpk files from the apps i've installed to my gear s3 via the gear app and my smartphone.
... something comparable to get access to the *.apk file via ES Explorer and the path /data/app/...
can someone help me.
btw: last weekend i noticed the following, strange behaviour. I connected a second gear s3 to my smartphone. therefore the 2nd gear s3 was softreseted. so far so good... later i switched back to connect to my 1st gear s3 and this watch was softreseted automatically, so i had to customize everything and install apps again. this was not as expected.
i'm using a samsung smartphone (rooted) ...

Really good question in my opinion.
I have only practice to backup TPK and WGT on Tizen Mobile (SM-Z130H)...
No idea how it work with Gear Watches...
Maybe check older Gear S, S2 threads...
No idea if all users scared to catch the install packages...
Maybe... because it work so on Tizen Mobiles...
We have an App called Tizen Store...
This app download encrypted TPK from Server...
after Download finish...
Handset DEcrypt this TPK... its simple ZIP like APK package...
Then file looks like this:
blabla.tpk ---> during download
blabla.tpk.depacked.tpk after Decryption...
I have to catch the *.tpk.depacked.tpk package... otherwise file is useless... as I have no idea how to Decrypt manual...
If you have no luck... then maybe Gear TPK is also encrypted on your rooted Handset...
And you need rooted Gear S3 to catch the TPK...
Maybe you could monitoring "Gear Manager" folders... during download...
Sorry, I have no Gear Watch to check self...
Only as inspiration.
As I need the Companion app from FileMaster...
http://slandmedia.com/apps/gear/Filesmaster/
But oh... :cyclops:
Maybe Developer work on Z-series Version...

No problem, if you find solution...
Let us know.

Yes, I have been hoping the same. Something must be there like we have on Android phone to back up apks like using SaveAkp app
Maybe try harder to research...
Correct me, if I am wrong...
TPK for Gear is downloaded by Smartphone/handset...
then transfered to Gear...
Task would be... where Gear Manager stores temporary TPK before push to Gear...
Tizen devices unpack and install Packages (tpk)...
This is big difference to Android...
NOT tpk packages are stored on Devices...
If installed it is tooo late...
Best Regards
Seems easy...
Code:
[B]tizenapp_[/B]123_samsungapps-0123-100000012.wgt
Stored on Android device... in data folder of gearoplugin...
Seems not encrypted...
I can unpack...
Only tested with SM-R732... no idea if paid apps also not encrypted...
Best Regards
Can someone gove me the path where android stores these tpk files? And you can tell me if/ how i can copy a tpk from a samsung s8 put it in my oneplus 3 and install the app on my gear s3
can someone try to send me tha tpk file for camera remote or camera gear and app launcher app ?
Good morning friends, I want to know if a Samsung galaxy S6 SM-G920a you can install the firmware of a SM-G920i and in case you can what consequences it has and if not, because you can not. I appreciate in advance the opinions you can give me.
Pd: I give excuses for my English, I use the google translator.

Thanks for replying, I have samsung galaxy s6 sm-920a that has imei damaged (350000000000010) and I have not managed to restore the original, the last thing I tried was with the terminal emulator to make a copy of the efs folder like efs.img with A code that I found in another topic of this forum: first I write us + enter and second i write dd if = / dev / block / mmcblk0p3 of = / sdcard / efs.img bs = 4096 + enter and I get a message that says "no such File or directory ", I guess it is because the phone does not have sdcard since it has an internal memory of 32 Gb and I do not know how to address it to a folder of the device, if you have any information that can help me, I will be grateful.
Hey my friends!
I'm really really thankfully our kind member: adfree who helped me yesterday to unbrick my watch, which had no wifi enabled, so I was totally desperate I lost 300 pounds. So as a thanks I'd like to give back some for this community. I bought the newest ROM, I'd like to share it with you guys.
I share the R770XXU2BQC5 with you.
I uploaded it to OneDrive, please feel free to download it.
Download R770XXU2BQC5
Please note this ROM is for SM-R770 Gear S3 Classic
Installation process:
(Many thanks for se47)
For flashing need NetOdin: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiN2zfzVljOkgfNqAmRV7_n54YOdgQ
Step 1: On your S3 press then hold the Home/Power button until you see the S3 screen shows up "Rebooting..."
Step 2: Release the Home/Power button then quick Press it again 03 times.
Next step, you need to be a bit quicker.
Step 3: Use the Home/Power button to navigate to "Download (wireless)" option, then Press & Hold the Home/Power button to select. You have to be real quick otherwise your S3 will reboot.
Step 4: Press the Home/Power button twice, you will see the "[WPS Mode]" change to "[AP Mode]"
Step 5: Choose the Access point with the same name appears on your S3.
Step 6: Your S3 will show that it's been connected to the IP of your computer.
Step 7: Open the Odin, your S3 will show up.
Step 8: Choose the right file for each Option BL, AP and CSC from the files you extract after downloading. Then press Start and wait the PASS (15-20 minutes)
Enjoy
P.S.: I would also like to mention how I unbricked my Gear S3 (Many thanks for BokkieAndijk)
... i found info how to get my S3 back to live again. If you have the same problems with your (bricked) S3 then go to download wirelessly mode en as soon as you see the flower then push the power button 2 seconds en let it go for 1 second, than push it again for 2 seconds en let it go for one and so on til you get him in to download wirelessly mode. May take some attempts but it saves my ass a few times.

Success!! R770X changed to R770 with BQC5 firmware!
I can confirm that BQC5 firmware works on my R770X! I now have a fully functioning Gear S3 Classic and it now states R770 with no X at the end. After all the files loaded on NetOdin the watch restarted with French being the only language. Luckily I do Read\Hear\Write it so I went through the process of connecting the gear through the Gear Manager on my S7 Edge and it connected perfectly and then it changed the language to English!
Upon my web search I noticed that the stores where using S7 Edge's to install the Retail Mode app on the watches so I figured that they were retail watches and that meant it was installing\changing the firmware with an X at the end only to differentiate and grab the correct OTA updates. It made sense because when I temporarily disabled Retail Mode within the app itself all the antennas worked (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Location and NFC) so I knew I had a chance that a stock firmware might work.
I hope this helps out anyone else in my situation. I followed the post with the BQC5 and used those files to accomplish this.
Thank you adfree for all your great help. And also xedamen for your tutorial post. Without both your help & guidance I would have stared at a very expensive watch show me the wrong time.

Nice, it's good news for those who needed
Thank you for a guide and ROM.
What is the country origin of this ROM?
I have the same ROM version installed on my watch and wonder if reflashing could help with SPay (watch was purchased in a country where SPay in not supported) by changing CSC.
Firmware package for OXA region contains more then 1 CSC/Country/Sales Code....
Simple download Firmware and extract files with 7Zip from CSC.
To detect which Sales Code is ACTIVE on your device... look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73265182&postcount=68
Only as info.
Best Regards
Hi, thank you for your reply.
As I understand OXA contains several countries.
Is there a way to change country of sales, I need to change it from Ukraine to Sweden?
Thank you.

Yes.
But it is not really easy nor very safe...
You need ROOT access... and at the moment only Combination Firmware offer this...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r770-t3584402
And their is no 1 click instruction available...
Caution!
I have my own experience only with SM-R732... and some feedback with SM-R760...
So you are at your own with SM-R770...
Risk to brick your device...
Best Regards
I wonder why it doesn't work after reflashing new rom and csc. I understand that OXA is multi region, but wouldn't it work after reflashing non-OXA CSC/rom and back...
If you unpack Firmware and concentrate your eyes on csc.img... use 7Zip for extraction...
Then you can see several folders...
Example DBT for instance...
Code:
DBT
SER
XAR
.
.
.
MANY more countries/Sales Codes supported...
If this text string aka Sales Code is written into your Gear... then device is AUTOMATIC configured for DBT...
I mean this CSC/Sales Code or how ever you want call it... is NOT new since Gear Wearables...
This is since years used mechanism for Samsung handsets...
You could try to google...
Best Regards
Hi adfree!
What do you mean "automatically configured to DBT"?

automatic/self configuration vs. you can choose/select

Hi, your English is good, much better than my German This mechanism of automatic assignment is interesting, I wonder if somebody has found this out.
I think I was reading a thread on forums that people were reflashing different roms and eventually it worked out to change an origin country but it seems like a random process.
Do you know if rom change need a root?

We could try to learn together.
Step by step.
First good idea is to start from scratch... at the beginning...
Lesson 1.
Download Firmware
Lesson 2.
Unpack with Tool called 7Zip...
2.1
Unpack/extract files from csc.img with 7Zip
3.
Now click through folders and look into folder:
Code:
preconfig\
Tell me what you can see...

Pasdrawlaju tebja. :good:
Again.
This Firmware is for all countries... for model:
Code:
SM-R770
Gear S3 is NO model name... it is """pet name""" and irrelevant as more then 1 model exists...
Code:
SM-R760
SM-R770
SM-R765 and few more variants of...
.
.
.
In Computer world we have only 0 or 1... and it is better to be Byte exact.
So there are BIG difference between:
Code:
o
O
0
Looks similar or same for as humans... but in Computer world these are exact 3 different Chars...
Back to Samsung handset/wearable...
They differ through CSC blablaba crap...
Few examples...
Code:
XAR is US
DBT is Germany
SEK is Ukraine and inside csc.img
SEK is visible in Product Code... if you concentrate your eyes on it...
http://www.samsung.com/ua_ru/wearables/gear-s3-classic-r770/
Code:
SM-R770NZSA[B]SEK[/B]
These 3 Chars are written into Wearable/handset... and are not ever easy to change...
But you have to change inside your device...
Firmware will NOT help you...
SPay crap is not 100 % clear to me, how it work...
If it need an chain...
Like XAR Sales Code in all 2 devices...
Handset + Wearable...
First attempt would be to change your SEK Sales Code to XAR...
It is only theory... I hope XAR is Samsung Pay supported country number 1... because USA
But Samsung Pay is not really interesting for me...
Sales Code is also important if I want to play with Firmware...
Btw... if you unpack all files from Firmware... rootfs.img... then you will find Samsung Pay TPK inside...
Best Regards
Rookie question, CSC file is zipped, then md5, then img.
If I edit one of the files in .img, how do I pack it back to iso and then to md5?
Also can I flash it to the watch without root, knox change etc.?
In preset folder there is nothing than language preset.
MPS folder has some customer settings which are more interesting.
If I edit one of the files in .img, how do I pack it back to iso and then to md5?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Be care fully...
1.
This is "special" TAR Format...
You can "ignore" MD5... this is only for selfcheck... to prevent damage TAR file...
2.
csc.img is an Image of an Linux partition...
Extraction is easier as create valid csc.img with Windows...
Better under Linux mount blabla...
3.
Fnimanie!
Gear S3 is not really Modding friendly...
Higher Security as in Gear S2...
Risk to end up in Bootloop and disabled WiFi...
Best Regards
Has anyone managed to change the area code on your Gear S3? I need to use Samsung Pay and hand it on.
Does anyone know tell me how to change the firmware of Samsung Gear S3 so that it accesses the Samsung Pay app? Has anyone ever succeeded?
Samsung Gear S Smartwatch SM-R750
Hi, am looking for a way to fix and or change my firmware on my SM-R750 Samsung Gear S which was purchased From Hong Kong and to change it to Canada. can anyone please help with this? thank you.
Hello everyone
I have problem with my gear S2 info says that is sm-r720 with soft r720xxu2eqj2
My smartwatch suddenly starts to drain the battery (about 2-4 hours after full charge) ordinary restart didn't help, also i can't uninstall watchfaces, they return after a restarts. When I tried to perform a soft reset, I take a while and after a reboot look like nothing happens, all watch faces, apps remain. Its also paired to my smartphone. So i tryied hard reset too, restart when i see title "restarting" i clicked until i see "Select BOOT MODE" i choosing "recovery" and hold power button for a couple of seconds, and watch boots normally. So there is any other way to fix power drain? I thinking about re-flashing gear but I don't know where I can find suitable soft? I know there is many subversions of gear S2 I don't want to make things worst by flashing with wrong software.
Thanks a lot for help
Strange...
Few hours/days ago somebody else report something similar...

Can you please try to enter this Code:

Try to run log dump...
Please report if this Code is accepted or not...
Look at this attached Video... Gear S2 have similar menus...

Hello
The symptoms look the same I bet that samsung released flawed update, that affecting some gears.
I have typed code and watch says:
Log file is created /opt/user/media/SLP_debug
How to get log out of gear 2? I have googling with no luck...
I am using Tool SDB...
Look here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330
Command to pull files from media folder in Tizen 2.3:
Code:
sdb pull /opt/usr/media
In theory also in other ways possible... for instance with Filemanger App...
But I know only 1 for free... all other Filemanagers are for money only in Store...
So I have no own tests...
But SDB is no Rocket Science.
Best Regards
Hello Again,
I installed two paid file managers, none of them was able to locate and send log file.
I think the only way is to flash with new ROM, could you point a proper ROM software?
@CyCNIK
1 reason could be:
. in filename... so hidden file...
Please, try SDB Tool before you try to flash...
It is really no Rocket Science... nearly all instruction is inside this Link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330
I mean I have 2 userS with write protected devices...
User 1 with Gear S2... and he allready tried flashing more then 1 Firmware without success...
And SM-R760 has write protected Bootloader...
Maybe better to have Log files... before waste time with same result...
Btw... risk to render your Gear S2 useless... if really something happens to Security... or eMMC damaged...
Thanx in advance.
Here is Log dump from SM-R765A... as example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75472253&postcount=419
It contains infos about Booting process etc...
Maybe we can find problems by analyzing your Log File...
WARNING!
Not share in public your LOG... possible contains private data...
PM me if done...
Best Regards
Hello
It's easier then i think
I'm sending now a private message with log
Hmmm.
No idea yet.
Next attempt is to flash Firmware... but chance is low... for success/repair...
netOdin and frew Infos like Videos are here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73503787&postcount=150
Firmware you can find hopefully here...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/tutorial-downgrade-gear-s2-sport-t3334123
No matter.. use this Firmware which Link is not expired...
Be sure you find SM-R720 Firmware.
EQH1 could be here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/gear-s2-firmwares-r720-r732-t3684789
Or older BOKK:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73948041&postcount=178
Yes, Link seems alive:
https://www.file-upload.net/download-12731427/smR720_BOKK_OXA.zip.html
So better first try with BOKK... lower Security s h i ttt.
Again.
Possible not flashed correctly...
Or worst case scenario... you will brick...
Only if big BIG luck this repairs your device...
Good luck.
For me it looks like Hardware damage... maybe eMMC could be half dead...
Anyway, without trying... we will not know.
Best Regards
Hello
I flashed with new firmware and... nothing happened. When Odin finished uploading new ROM, (all 3 files), gear restart.. with no change.
I assume that new ROM should be installed. I repeat procedure twice for make sure, with no luck. I think the only way to fix it is to replace the mainboard, as could be more expensive than a new watch.
Thanks for help
Best Regards
@CyCNIK
Only to be sure.
You have tried the Combination Firmware too?
Best Regards
My eMCC seems really dead:

Bootloader warning ⚠After the unlock of the bootloader, you have probably noticed the logo has been replaced by a Warning message...
Here is the solution to remove Bootloader warning Unlocked message from your Galaxy Tab S6 lite.
What you need?
Your device.
Terminal (termux recommended).
Magisk patched recvory (you just need root for one time).
Steps to follow to fix Bootloader Unlocked Warning issue :
Download the Param file and move it to download folder (internal storage).
Download terminal (you can use termux).
Start terminal and gain root access using "su".
Type / copy this command into the terminal -
dd if=/storage/emulated/0/Download/up_param.tar of=/dev/block/platform/13520000.ufs/by-name/up_param
Now simply reboot to recovery or system.
Mission accomplished.
Download(in this case the param file is only for Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, if you want it for your device message you may comment below)Splash screens for other devices :
Galaxy M30s
Galaxy A12
Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
Galaxy A22
If you want it for your device comment below..
Conclusion :In this post I have talked about How to remove bootloader warning. Tell us What You Say About The Post by commenting and if you have any questions then comment below.
Thanks but I would rather say this is not a 'removal' solution but a replacement of the warning boot images.
And this could be done by simply opened 'up_param.bin' file with any zip program or 7zip. Extract those warning files, edit it to your own preferences or simply edit/replace supposed image files.

Can you upload it for SM-T220 - Galaxy Tab A7 Lite (2021 8.7")? The site you linked to says it works for any Samsung device, just need to modify `up_param.tar`, but doesn't say what needs to be changed with that file or where it is. I can only find `up-param.bin.lz4`.

you can quickly do that on your own and flash the tar file with odin

Someone on here made an Odin flashable boot warning that removed all the writing. Wish i could find it again i had it before upgrading to lineage 19
Found it on my pc, wish i could give credit to whomever made it.
Hey! Any chance of this for the Tab A 10.1 2019? (gta3xlwifi), or at least how you did this, and I can do it myself, please? Thank you!
Can you explain me a safe way to do this for A22 5G? It has up_param and param. up_param has images but I don't know how to pack it as a .bin file
please for tab S6
