Not sure I am right, but I think you should use Sony's update manager (or whatever the name is) to flash the watch, or an other software, but mind if I ask, how did you get into this situation, what was the last thing you did when the watch was working?

Did it do the update?
So there I was watching a performance. Then I casually checked the time and BAM it was still stuck at 7:30 hen it was about 8. Then i did some quick research on my phone and saw about SUS then when I went home i tried and finally got it to connect. It was then stuck at about 1% and not moving at the installing (It said there was an update). Then overnight as my cmputer went to sleep the watch suddenly turned dead. It is now dead

Re: Flash F5 Message
I tried to update my smartwatch but it did not updating my watch, for thanks god my watch is working well..
After much cursing and gnashing of teeth, I got the Sony Update Service software to recognize the watch. I noticed that when I powered up my (bricked) SW2, the SONY logo would flash for a split second on the screen before the dreaded "Flash FS" message. So after powering down the watch, I plugged it in to my PC and hit the power button several times quickly. This triggered the windows device manager to successfully recognize the device as a Sony Smartwatch and the update software room it from there. About 10-15 minutes later... my SW2 was working again.

How did you do this? In my case sometimes it recognises it as "SmartWatch 2" using your solution, the Windows (8) installs it's driver and than it sais no device drivers installed in the device manager and neither the PC Companion notices it.
Could you help me somehow please?

To flash it power it on then quickly insert the USB. Should come up with something like a progress bar box. Utility should detect it maybe??
Any luck?
I've got it working by inserting USB just when SONY logo appears. It started normally the watch as if it never happened any FLASH FS screen. But after around 20 seconds of happiness, it froze again but this time I just cannot get it started again. Any other advice?
Thanks

Flash fs problem
please help Flash FS i tried so many time but its still showing Flash Fs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783426&page=8&nocache=1
This can be solution for Flash FS message when SUS is dead
and to get into DFU mode:
2. Turn the watch off.
3. Insert the cable into the watch and than into the USB-port of your computer (it is faster to insert the cable into the computer USB-port than into the watch).
4. Press and hold the watch power key for half a second immediately after you insert the cable into the USB-port (if the charging [in our case displays: Flash FS] begins return to the 2 step).

If it won't charge, has no LED when connected to charger or PC, won't connect to PC, does not show anything in device manager on PC and won't boot to any of its modes then it's hard bricked. Only option is 1 of these 3 options:
1) send the device to a JTAG service provider
2) replace the motherboard in your device
3) get a new device

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

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)?

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...

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.

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?

Hey, saw your video and it was great bro! The issue im having is after im done with the process it trips the reactivatuon lock. I have the faintest idea what the password is, it was set over 5 yrs ago. Any help would be a godsend. Thx
When i boot the watch it comes up with the splash (Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro) then it seems like the watch turns off. I press the power again and it splashes and then turns off.
I am able to get to the wifi downloader and i have attempted the firmware files in firmware post. However, i have not had any change after successful downloads.
I noticed the combination firmware files and a mention that they could be used to recover watches, but there arent any instructions and im not sure what to do with them.
Anyone with any ideas? I cant imagine that it's bricked (i used it until the battery died and now its doing this).
If I understand correctly, they are older firmwares. Basically downgrades. How did you get your watch to connect, mine gives me a connection timed out error over and over.
Hello, my mother got a used Gear S3 Frontier watch from a shop, but the original owner of the watch didn't tell the shop that they didn't turn off the reactivation lock, which in turn the shop didn't know that there was a lock, and my mother can't get a hold of the original owner to tell them to remove the lock, so she got stuck with a watch that she can't use and she can't return the thing either. So, I decided to take a crack at removing the lock despite this being my first attempt at doing such a thing (my knowledge lies in Unity coding and art, not watches unfortunately).
I've successfully removed the lock, however whenever I try to put the regular firmware on it it gives me a bright red error message saying "SW REV. check fail . device:2 binary (it cuts off here I can't read it) Download has been failed" despite NetOdin saying it was successful. Took some searching to figure out what that error meant specifically and it seems like it's because I've been attempting to unintentionally downgrade the watch (it hasn't been up for sale long so I'm assuming it's using an updated firmware.) Is there a copy of the R760XXU2FUD1 version available? I haven't been able to find it here and I'm a little wary of just grabbing it off of a random website.
I think like I might've bricked the poor thing but I can still access the WPS download mode so it's not entirely hopeless, I feel.
I've been using the files and steps found in this video if it helps: YouTube (HOW TO BYPASS REACTIVATION LOCK SAMSUNG Gear S2 S3 FOR FREE!)
Like I mentioned earlier I'm no developer, I'm just trying to help my mom to give her something nice out of this annoying situation so I'm likely doing more things wrong here than I think, please let me know.
Thanks!
