Hi all. Thanks for your valuable time and helping out newbies like me. I was having few problems with my gear s3 frontier in tizen 4 n after latest version it was getting pretty hot while charging, lagging a lot & battery was draining rapidly. So I decided to downgrade it & I successfully did it in 1 go using this firmware mentioned below in link n odin with help of tutorials mentioned in this forum & also by @adfree.
......https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2qh5ebkwJa6cU82UXBhOWVPOFk/view
My watch is working fantastic now with great battery life & no heating at all during charging.
I need help with 2 things, if possible:
1) First issue I m having is that in galaxy gear store I m unable to view few watch faces & their stores (that may be bcoz of regional change of firmware or dont know why), For ex: like this :
..........https://galaxystore.samsung.com/geardetail/com.watchface.HuckOneO
I have bought this face but now its not showing in my apps section neither in search in gear store in gear plugin app.
2) I want to use samsung pay on my gear s3.
My details r as follows:
Model #: SM-R760
Software version: R760XXU2BQC5
Tizen version: 2.3.2.3
Knox: 2.0.0
Watch Bought n using in India.
So I request senior & fellow members to help me out so that I can see all my watch faces bought earlier & also able to use spay on my gear s3.
Thanks in advance

What's new and will the firmware R732XXU2CPC5 support the iPhone?
http://www.sammobile.com/2016/03/31/samsung-gear-s2-gets-another-software-update/
Brings the same features as R732XXU2CPB7, and I've just tested, it does NOT support the iPhone.
Anyway to download the firmware for wireless odin? I can't update through gear manager since downgrading to use with an iPhone? I got a s7 edge just for this and I'm stuck on "your Gear has been modified and cannot be updated". Thanks
I have not seen the first one. My Gear S2 sport is on R720XXU2BPA4

Updated to CPC5 here in Canada (west coast) on 11 Apr 16. New auto brightness and airplane mode. Maybe more. Will test as time permits.
Received CPC5 update on Gear S2 Classic (wifi) today in Virginia/USA.
I initiated the update manually, so don't know when it actually became available....
Does anyone have the ODIN Flashable Package for this R732XXU2CPC5 Update ?
Got the R732XXU2CPC5 around 2:00 am today by manually checking for update. I'm in Northern VA
I got mine last night by manually updating. I'm in Georgia.
I installed Samsung gear app on iphone and it says NO GEAR DEVICES. App says to update gear software. My version software on samsung gear s2 is: R720XXU2BOKK. Version: KNOX. I will try to update it with a samsung mobile and then I will come back to the iphone and try it.
Just to give more information, my girfriend has a Samsung gear s2 too and she has version software: R720XXU2AOJ3. Version: KNOXX. She is able to pair the iphone with her samsung gear s2 without the application, just as a bluetooth device. I was able to do it as well but I made a big mistake of pairing it with a samsung mobile and I updated the software of the samsung gear s2, then came back to my iphone and the Iphone didn't find samsung gear S2.
Still doesn't fix the "always on isn't always on" problem. (When you enable display always on, it goes completely blank after a while and needs a button press to get back).
Wow, the auto brighness is effing stupid.
Before, I had always on screen and outside, I could tolerate brightness of 3, and could see al lof my watch faces and notifications.
Now the damn thing is always at its highest and blows through 80% in less than 12 hours.
ANd I dont even check it as often anymore.
Just give me a damn off button for auto brightness, god.

I had this problem, too.
Did you set the Gear S2 already back to factory settings? Afterwards my iPhone found the Gear and started working with the app.

Yes sir! I've done it and now it's working! Thank you !
Having tried manual updates many times it (SM-R732) finally updated automatically today. I don't notice much difference on the auto-brightness, maybe because I have the brightness set pretty low (3)? Still good to have the addition of Flight Mode.
I see that some users have found kernels and what not but i'm not extraordinary at this stuff. Could someone that has honestly, fully rooted a Gear S3 frontier with android please post a video showing how to do it. I don't understand all the terminology and when to do which steps. I'm just a guy who wants his expensive watch to run google play music and have access to the android market. Please help!
NO known Android Port exists... not for Gear S2 nor S3...
Different reasons...
On Gear S3 also bigger problems to achieve ROOT... as higher security exists.
Thanx to Samsung.
Best Regards
So anything i'm seeing where someone is claiming to have done it is fake?

You have to differ few things...
Leaked Service Firmware packages called Combination Firmware are rooted... because Samsung Service Firmware.
Example for rooted SERVICE Firmware... BQC2 for SM-R760:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588082
But it was NOT possible yet... to root "normal" Firmware like BQC5:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Their are BIG differences between Combination Firmware and normal Retail Firmware for End user...
So for most users Combination Firmware is useless... as limited in Features you know...

Hi there, it looks like Samsung has not forgotten our beloved Gear S2 yet.
Just received a major update. Gear S2 is now at Tizen 2.3.2.7, software version R732XXU2FRC1.
I see some significant UI style changes and updates in S Health.
do you have a link?

I am afraid not, it was pushed to my phone OTA.
Quite some changes actually, S Health seems to have received a complete overhaul.

Could this update be the reason my watch no longer recognizes my book reader TTS with the music controls as it used to? I'm trying to find some way to get those controls back, as that was a major reason why I purchased the watch in the first place.

I don't know if that's the classic, but if so, I have the same one as you and I got the update. I think everybody got it at the same time regardless of Gear S2 model.
It was supposed to quote the guy with the T-Mobile Gear S2 but I guess not...
My Gear S2 is the Verizon 3G version (R730V) and no update is coming through the Android Gear App yet. I'm using a Verizon MVNO, but I don't know if that would stop it from being accessed.
My current Tizen version is 2.3.2.2.
I think the Gear VR controller functionality could be cool.

I tried it yesterday. It can be useful, but less so if you already have a Gear VR Controller.
The S2 as VR controller is not a device which you can see in the virtual world and use as a laser pointer like the Gear VR Controller. It is more like a wrist replacement of the touchpad on the right side of the Gear VR. So you can use the watch face to swipe, scroll, and tap to select. Besides, you can allocate a function to bezel rotation, like setting the volume.
I keep getting "update failed" when attempting to install it. Anyone else?
Gets to 10% then reboots and says failed. I have tried a factory reset, but still the same.
I have brought samsung galaxy watch 4 Bluetooth 44mm for a great deal
I thought it would be as easy to get samsung pay working like previous watch/gear series
But after futher research found out not lot of info is available
I really like to have that feature on my watch
I have heard by changing region using odin might work but it very unclear as very less info is available
My CSC number has OXM might work but very unclear
Does anyone know the solution for samsung pay working?
Thanks
Any solution for this?

Hi I'm using SM-R760 and I live in Turkey. I saw the guides on the forum as well, but they are outdated. So my question is, is it possible to install Samsung Pay on Tizen 4.0.0.7 and use it in Turkey?
I would like to know the same thing
I have the same question.
Also I'd like to know if I can upload any firmware with ODIN without to take care about original and uploaded firmware origin.
Thank you.

I cant answer for your location (turkey). but I am in USA and just got my hands on a friends used Gear 3 Tizen with version 4.0.0.7, and fully reset to factory settings, it has samsung Pay by default. so must be region dependent on if you get pay by default. I did quick search on google and found some guides that claim Samsung Pay enable in "any" location, so might be a more general guide you can follow???
