Question Triying to revive a black screen SM-R890 - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hi, this is the first time i post, I'm a newby and just want to start experimenting with these devices.
I have a Samsung Galaxy watch 4 classic (SM-R890) with a faulty back button, so i bougth a dead watch on ebay to change the buttons and now I want to see if i'm able to bring life back to the ebay bircked watch.
The screenof the bricked device wotks fine (Just tested the screen on my good watch) and also the battery hold charge.
Pressing the two butons while charging doesn't work, (it was the first thing I tried as soon as I get the watch from ebay)
after reading some post here, I tried to connect to the this pins on the bottom of the main board in order to stablish a usb connection

}
the soldering is not pretty but it works. (also the photo was taked before cleaning the board)
pin order is as follow
5v | Not conected | green | white | gnd
also there is no bridge between the pads, I just tested that with a multimeter.
after installing the samsung usb driver and connected the cable, I saw for and instant the message saying "installing exynos driver" or some messages like that, but after that nothing.....
Now it sound like when you plug a usb device and after a few seconds it sounds like when you discconet the device. but it doesn´t show on device managen neither in odin software.
to "force the connection" on windows I have to press the ON button on the watch and it sound like connecting an usb device again.
i've also tested on linux with "./odin4 -l" command but also no luck.
I just want to know if i'm missing some crucial step in order to connect the watch to the pc via usb.
Hope you can help me bringing back life to this watch.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but the problem is that i can't stablish comunication between the watch and the pc. is there something I can do?
Here's a video showing what happend when i connect the usb cable to the pc on winldows. on linux is the same thing, can't see the device using lsusb command.
when I connect the usb cable I can hear the connecting sound on windows, but after a few seconds it sounds like it disconnects, then I press the red button on the watch and it sounds like connecting again but not for long, I repeat this process a few times and that's why those sounds repeats in the video.

Ok, thanks,
so it is the last update - I allredy have it on the pad, works good.
What verison is this ?
1001?
1170?
Does wifi work?
it is 1170
Sent from my deb using XDA App
Can I use the same for WOWPAD? Also if anything goes wrong Can I get back to previous factory setting?
Model # dory
FW Version 2.1-update1
Kernel Ver # 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build # dory-r2.1.925
I just ran this on my wowpad that was stuck at the green wowpad screen. Now it is getting to a calibration option and resetting over and over. I guess that is progress. Is there a different version of the update around for the wowpad? I have another pad that works, is there any way to pull an image from the working device?
Just updated my wowpad to 1170 with full update (using burntool). Everything seems very fast. Top wifi switch now works. Wifi connected without any trouble. Could not browse through ADSL (Ethernet) lan connection. It is showing connected but no browsing. It worked with previous .925 version. Try it tomorrow. Still asking for the license number. Can anyone help me with a license number. I probably threw it away with the box.
[email protected]
My email: [email protected]
I tried it on my other wowpad and it is working fine. It does seem faster and wifi is working like before, I haven't tried much else yet. My second pad froze while playing angry birds and after reboot kept getting stuck on the green screen also so I was forced to try to reflash it. I guess my first one has some hardware problem.
My inglish is very bad ....
Please can you send burntools - v07.5? I don´t search in internet. Anysearch bruntool v07.2.
My tablet is off. My email is [email protected]
Thanks If you don´t send burntools please Link download
Hi singingdrop, any chance in telling me where you found the v07.5 burntool, looked everywhere but no luck, cheers
megaupload.com/?d=QCPV7V9D
you could get the burntools 7.5v from the upper location.
You can have very good instruction and process to upgrade from this "Spanish" site. Just translate it to english. Just add http// @ the beganing. I'm not yet allowed to post link. Delete space after http.

Upgrade for WOWPad?
Greetings:
I just purchased and received two "wowpads" via DHGATE.com seller and am pleased for the most part with the hardware.
I use OruxMaps to view maps relative to the current position. My goal is to use it in an airplane for background reference against the aeronautical charts that have been scanned and can be cached on the SDCard by using a program Mobile Atlas Creator from live map services for a region of interest.
My only concerns are with the brightness - it is difficult to use with much sunlight and also the lack of ability to turn on and off the GPS receiver. Certain apps will turn it on, and it slowly does find the satellites for positioning - up to 15 mins to triangulate. Then although I can shutdown the calling app for the mapping, it does not turn off the GPS. I tried a widget from the Market to
control the GPS, but it does not respond.
Does anyone know whether the ROM upgrade will fix the GPS on/off control?
Is there an official 2.2 ROM coming?
Doug.
Just updated this way on a flytouch2, it's a bit faster now and wifi works also.
I've updated from version 925 in wich my license code (I had to ask for at the place I bought my device) wasn't accepted. But when I tried to register after this update and filled in my license code everything worked great????????? even my license code was accepted
THNX for all the work you guys do
official?

How do you know it is the official?
It seems to differ markedly from my original factory setup (but not necessarily in a bad way...). If we don't know where this came from, is it safe to install from?
btw, it seems to work great

thank you so much, but it turns out that my phone is not being recognized, i tried using windows xp, windows 7 but it wont recognize my phone and i even tried to buy a different cable but it doesnt work.:crying:
Uninstall all drivers, if your phone is not recognized, it can also be named as Gadget.
Read this post I posted on Lumins thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31040604&postcount=207
thanks, now my phone is being recognized by my computer under the name ( galaxy s4g interface 1). the problem is i tried getting the download mode with the three - button technique and it doesnt work, i even tried to use a usb jig, but i got nothing. my pc recognizes the device when its on, but when its charging i get the ( do not recognize) message. zadig recognizes the device when its on but heimdall doesnt
"I got nothing" You couldn't get into download mode, or your computer doesn't recognize the phone?
If the latter, (and you probably should anyways) I would clean up your computer by uninstalling Kies, the drivers, and start fresh with the phone in download mode before selecting drivers. The device manager in Windows might help (right-click on "Computer" and select Manage, when the window opens, click on Device Manager in the upper left pane, as I recall)
(or just give in and go with Ubuntu )
Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
when i turn my phone of and use my usb jig, download mode doesnt work. when my phone is off and im trying to charge it with my computer using my usb, my pc says (usb not recognize)
try putting the usb cabel tightly in the phone
he is a video i made explaining my problem
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSrRP12yrMg&feature=youtu.be
You have to plug a cable from the pc into the jig. I think.
Or when you plug into pc the phone must be off with volume buttons held down.

Also. The back of your phone looks different. I dunno maybe you got a bigger battery or something but it doesn't look like a galaxy s 4g. Maybe a blaze or a vibrant
djmxp can you please show us your device model, not device name, device MODEL.
Ya looks like a vibrant to me at 1:19 into the video when you see the back, it has the full back, textured finish,

GALAXY S 4G
HIS PHONE
Looks like a vibrant to me. Of course if he flashed the bootloader, the screen is going to say 959V GALAXY S 4G like it does earlier in the video, but I think you flashed the wrong ROM and bootloader for the wrong phone.
It sort of looks like your pictures but he has a full glossed back.
That was a stock photo from a cellphone spec site. Here's a VIBRANT photo in real life. Looks pretty glossy.

ok here its the actual explanation, i am using a sgs 4g

Spent close to 100 hours looking for drivers for H950. Need Help!

Hello everyone,
I bought this phone on sale last year and it was advertised as follows...
Refurbished: LG G Flex2 H950 32GB Unlocked GSM 4G LTE Octa-Core Android Phone
In browsing the forums here I see the excitement around this phone has waned quite a bit since it's release, but I'm hoping there's still a few of you left who might be able to help me. I totally love this phone and want to be able to use its full potential.
It's branded as an AT&T phone when the boot-up screen appears. I doubt it was sold as unlocked by AT&T, but rather Newegg, or someone they're reselling for, unlocked it. I've never been an AT&T customer. I bought it knowing I could use any carrier willing to sell me a sim card. I'm currently using Mint.
It came with the 5.01 firmware. I've spent many days reading every thread I can about how to upgrade it, and possibly get Marshmellow as well. The issue is that I can't seem to find any drivers that function properly. Here are all the ones I've tried...
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only one that's come close to fully functional is the top one for version 3.11.3.0 It's the only one that recognizes all of the sub-devices no matter how many times I unplug the USB cable and plug it back in. The only other one that came close was version 4.2.0
I use a program called USBDeview, which provides live monitoring of USB connections and shows a great deal of info about each one. In the images I'm going to share, I've shrunk away all of the columns except the ones I think are most relevant. The ones with Green dots mean it sees them as a working, connected device. The ones with Gray dots mean that there is a record of this device connecting, but that it does not see them as currently connected. And the Purple dots mean it sees the device as connected, but that there is some issue with its functionality.
Here's the result when I use the 3.11.3.0 driver...
All 5 devices show green and everything action I've tried to perform from studying guides here works perfectly. And, as I said, it keeps working no matter how often I reconnect it. The only weird thing is that USBDeview reports the version as 3.11.0.0, even as the filename and the file properties report it as 3.11.3.0 It reports correctly for all the other drivers I've tried, but I guess it's nothing to complain about at this point.
The problem is that whenever I put the phone in “Firmware Update/Download Mode” I get this result...
The LGE Mobile Sooner Single ADB Interface driver now shows as disconnected, and as such, I can't send any ADB commands and my device doesn't show up on the list when I type "ADB Devices". It doesn't indicate there is a problem, it just shows it as not there. This issue is thwarting all my efforts to upgrade the phone.
With the 4.2.0.0 driver, I get a similar, but slightly different result. Sometimes I got this when connecting the phone in normal mode...
And other times I got this...
I can't account for the different results because I was trying all kinds of tweaks and fixes between different attempts. But one thing was universal with this version: They would all show green for up to a minute or so and then all but one would start disconnecting until it looked something like this...
The other drivers I tried were similar. Some recognized more devices, some less, and some would look like the above on their first use. Some were consistent and some would look okay for a minute and then disconnect.
When it came to Download Mode, some would see the ADB driver and some would see the USB driver, but I still haven't found one that will see both. When I check the error logs, I most often see something like this...
So if anyone has a driver that they know works on this phone and has definitely used it to upgrade this model in Download mode, please let me know.
Also, if you know of a method to accomplish my goal without using Download mode, please point me to some steps to that method.
Just to avoid the obvious advice, I've tried a great many fixes...
Turned off Fast Startup.
Disabled ability to turn off device for power savings on all USB hubs.
Disabled USB Selective Suspend.
Disabled firewall and all other protection settings in Windows Defender.
Uninstalled my anti-virus.
Disabled Windows automatic device updates in Group Policy.
Made sure all my other devices have the latest drivers.
Update my BIOS to the latest version.
Windows 10 Pro is up to date.
As one person advised, tried to manually update the devices that wouldn't connect using lgx64bus.inf from the driver folder.
And various registry tweaks.
Thanks in advance for any help.
NOTE: In going through all the drivers again, I discovered that version 3.14.1, at least on the surface, is performing exactly as ver 3.11.3 has been. Works perfectly in normal mode, missing ADB device in Download mode. Guess I skipped it in my first few runs. Still doesn't solve my problem, but I strive to be accurate.
NOTE 2: I have found a method for flashing that does not require ABD to flash my phone. I can't find an option to delete this post, so the moderator has my permission to do so at their discretion.

iDoing 10.25 Recovery mode? - No keys!

Hello! I am looking a way to go into the Recovery mode of this unit by iDoing (PX5 4GB/64GB Android 10)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001268573059.html
The only button I can find is a reset button on the side of the screen. No other buttons exist - not even "virtual" ones, or at least I cannot find something more.
What I have tried so far:
1) Hold the reset button for around 45 seconds and then release it
2) Hold it for like 20 seconds and then immediately press again and release it
3) Hold it for like 20-30 seconds and then immediately press 2 times and release it
4) Attach a keyboard to the first usb slot and tried ALT+Printscreen+e (repeatedly). Nothing. The keyboard and its Num indicator are only working when the screen finishes booting and it is in the Android environment.
I contacted the seller but they don't understand what I am looking for. I know that the last resort is to go into the Android and with pseudo-console to issue a command for reboot and recovery.
However, since I am about to experiment with some roms, I will not be able to do this every time. Does anyone have any idea/proposal on how to get it to the recovery with only this button? Is there a chance I will not be able to boot into recovery?

Thank you very much for your reply!
Here is the information I could get from the system. It seems like MTCE_PSD (to be honest I haven't found anywhere this vendor! I saw some lists around the web with the vendors, but couldn't find PSD!).
Yes, it is a MTCD variant (PSD). If unable to identify a method to enter recovery, you could hardwire a recovery switch per my threads.

Thank you sooo much!
I have read a lot of threads and posts these days. What I understood is that if you can't access the recovery then two solutions:
1) find another px5 device with keys that goes to recovery and plug your board on it (I have read that you did it )
2) solder a permanent bridge between VDD and CTL_Recovery pins so you can force the system to get into a "recovery" and then use software on PC to do your work.
marchnz said:
the 'force' recovery method which toggles the SOM recovery line is as follows:
Note, must use this method as the MCU sinks the [CTL-recovery line]
- On mainboard carefully remove SOM header pin [ctl_recovery] - see my signature for schematic (also attched non-watermark version here, happy holidays)
- Solder a wire to the SOM socket [ctl_recovery]
- held [ctl_recovery] wire to [mcu 3.3v test pad]
- Connect PC
- Power on Headunit
- Your PC should chime (new device) and RockChip batch tools indicate "Device Connected"

Is this the connection bridge? I can't locate the test pad

Hi. Did you find anything? Solution?

Question Galaxy Watch 4 Classic update issues

The October 10th update seems to have bricked my watch after a reboot, Is anyone else having issues with this update?
Can you please give more details?
A
Model Name like:
SM-R870 or SM-R875F or?
B
Status of device?
What means "bricked" in your case?
You can do Factory Reset and start from scratch?
Best Regards
Sorry for the vagueness..
Model SM-R890
I took the update from October R8xxXXU1GVI3 unsure of the exact version
The problem:
I allowed the update and as the day progressed the watch was not responding well for example the transition/swipe to the calendar tile seemed to glitch by showing the appointment and then displaying black, I was able to swipe off back to the time tile and throughout the day it kept showing the notification shade when I would raise to wake. I decided to restart the watch. When I pressed the power button to restart it would not boot.
I let the watch charge overnight and tried to power it on again by pressing the power button, I then watched a few videos to try to get into fast boot, but nothing worked.
If I understand correct.
At the moment dead or halfdead... only black screen...
A
NO Fastboot
Be carefully...
B
We have only 2 Hardware Keys...
Hard Reset work for instance with hold BOTH Keys for few Seconds...
C
You can try on Charger... to hold both keys... to see if any kind of life sign...
D
If still black Screen... No power on...
Chance is very low to repair alone at home...
Contact Samsung Service for Repair.
Best Regards
That is all correct.... I contacted Samsung Service the repair is 285 but they wanted me to trade the watch in and upgrade to the watch 5 pro for $200 I am not a happy customer
I've had 0 issues after the update.
Yeah I had issues updating, I had to try it three times, and now I have an issue where the screen almost never turns off and causes extreme battery drain as a result.
After update i get quick battery drain.Connection issue and today after restart my watch stuck in odin.
My battery died and the watch now seems to be bricked too... I also did the Oct undated. Don't think I had reset since the update was done....
Doesn't show any signs of charging even though the power share on my Note 20phone tells me it is charging. Tried various methods of charging and nothing.
Tried several different reset/hard rest methods and nothing... If this is a firmware issue then the only way we will get any results is to band together to get some results....
I have the SM-R890
The update went fine, and have been using it for about a week and a half.
The the battery seemed to die (while on the charging Puck) And it wont rest or even hard reset. Nothing.
Will try a new battery to see if it does anything...
My watch got bricked too yesterday
I have SM-R870 CHC come from China, after R870ZCU1GVI3 Oct 14 update my watch have been using well until yesterday I restarted the watch.
All symptoms are the same as you mentioned above, no lifesign

I have already tried this method but nothing happened, not even Samsung logo appears
I plan to send it to Samsung service for repair.
Now I have more similar bricked cases from coolapk, their common behavior cann't connect to phone, keeping a black screen and there is no vibration while connecting to charger.One of them refered that his watch have been using well for a week after updated, one day watch suddenly vibrated then got bricked.
I asked them if they could press down the power key and back key at the same time to make hard set.Unfortunately, still no lifesign
There must be some problems in this version of the firmware, until now Samsung didn‘t issue announcements about it.
My English isn't all that good, it may be difficult to understand
Please direct them here so that we can come up with a way forward with everyone together. Otherwise Samsung will try to screw us....
We come from China, some of them may not know XDA...
I will try to translate new cases as much as possible to English then post here

Another unlucky guy who forgot to charge, got bricked and was refused warranty

Same issue, Galaxy Watch 4 bricked after manual power off no power on anymore. It's clear Samsung fault and wty MUST be extended by Samsung for all of you who has 1 year wty only! In my case I have 2 years. Nothing power them anymore even unplug battery doesn't help so nothing help at all. Bricked by Samsung wrong software R89xXXU1GVI3 and Samsung is fully responsible!
