Does anyone know if the galaxy watch can flash roms and have custom OS's like on previous generations? Can it use roms made for the gear s3? What are your thoughts on the default rom with tizen 4.0? What would you want from any custom rom?
Let's start a discussion on this topic!
I am pretty sure roms from the gear s3 will not work. Also why would someone Flash an old rom on a new watch? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Source Code is here:

I was just wondering whether or not they would be similar. I've seen a phone before that could run a rom from another phone, that's why I was asking. Didn't expect much tbh
Hi all. Can anyone help me with a odin files for the first software of this watch. I am have the next problem:
Hello! Since the new software update earlier this week I am having a problem with my screen brightness setting which I have set at 8. When my watch goes into AOD mode, after the 15 second screen timeout, and then when the screen goes back on again the brightness setting is down to 3. Then I change it back to 8, the screen goes into AOD, and when the screen goes back on it is down to 3 again. Every time. Never had a problem like this before the recent software update, or on my Gear S3 for years. I turned the watch off for a few hours, and then turned it back on, but the problem persists. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks!!!
Please can anyone hrlp me with the idin files plss

Hello Adfree.
Nice video btw. Thanks for that.
I have the exact same issue like Alejandro in the video, and the exact same model: SM-810X.
Is there any way you can provide me with the rom files for this model? I would like to give it a try, and flash the files, rather keep it in the drawer...
Much appreciated any help.
Cheers!

Want to restore back to original rom, and have spent a good hour hunting, only to end up at either samobile who want to charge e15, or some other shady sites where y ou have to pay for access...
Is this just the way things are?
Anyone able to share this rom?
At https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-pro/SM-T520/ I do not see anything telling me to pay.
If you actually select a rom, you see this below the file...

Which sort of contradicts the info on the previous page:
Here you find all the latest firmwares for the GALAXY Tab PRO SM-T520, if you want to flash your device with the newest Samsung software.

I know the firmware is old, but its still the latest!
Did you log in. I registered long time ago at sammobile to be able to download. That worked for about 8 years without paying anything, but downloadspeed is anoying low.
Ok, I just logged in and saw , you have to pay. Free firmware downloads for members are only for recent firmware. Cause we're far from recent, we have to pay for the archive files. F...k you Samsung.
As I said in another thread some years ago, this tablet was my last Samsung device I bought, due to their superior support.
Here's a link for the German (DBT) and the Dutch (PHN) stock firmware. I think the dutch one was newer, although there's probably not much of a difference.

Hello.
Long time lurker, 1st time subscriber here.
I have a Galaxy watch, 46mm, SM-R800NZSAXAR. US version, non LTE. I have it with the latest firmware that was released for it about a month or two ago. I just dont know the serial for that FW version.
My issue is that, the Watch, suddenly turned off, and when i try to boot it up, it shows the "Samsung Galaxy Watch" logo, and turns off again. I can access the download mode, the Odin mode and have even tried the "Recovery" option but this does not work.
I've read on other threads that I can try to re-flash the FW to the device via NetOdin and the right FW version and that MIGHT help getting it back up working. Thing is, i have NO IDEA what FW version to get. I see all sort of numbering but i cannot tell which one should i get, and the information i have come accross is confusing.
So, could you guys point me in the right direction, so maybe i get the proper FW and try to repair my watch? I've already talked with Samsung Customer Support, and they want me to send the device for repair... thing is I'm not in the US no more, and that'd be a real pain in the ass.
Thank you in advance.
Pudiste repararlo
Me pasó lo mismo con el mismo modelo flashee con lo que encontré y ya funciona aunque tiene tizen 4.0.0

Hey, hello!
I read thru them already, and that's what got me confused. Cuz it was not clear which one was the most recent or the right one for an SM-R800 US. Could you tell me or guide me on how to determine which one would be the right one to get before proceeding?

I understood the Alphabet reference. I was thinking it had something to do about it but was not sure.
Anyway, i followed your "advice" and downloaded the FW, flashed it, the procedure finished properly (NetOdin said it was successful), Watch restarted, and NOTHING happened. It's still not booting. Just shows the logo and turns off again. So I'm thinking is really a hardware problem. I'm gonna have to send it back to the USA for repairs and hope they honor the warranty.
I still dont understand why cant I buy the product in one country and get service for it in another if it's withing the warranty time.... but w/e.
Thanks man for your help. This will deter me from buying anything Samsung for awhile.
Sorry to read about no real success...

I have absolutely no idea what happened with the device. It just wont boot beyond the logo.
If you have something else i could try, lemme know. Getting if service by an official samsung rep will be a daunting task, since is a US device and i Dont live in the US... is covered with a warranty tho. I just have to jump thru a lot of hoops to send it there.

I'm making arrangements to send it to Samsung US to get it repaired. If all fails, then I'll get my hands dirty again. It's still covered by the warranty, the problem is to get it to Samsung US hands for repair.
Thanks for your help tho. I'll keep this bookmarked for future reference.

I solved the problem with my watch in the following way:
1. Firmware R800XXU1DSL1 (available at 4pda) using the standard method, but you MUST include the Phone Bootloader Update check box in Odin. Then press Start, Odin will update the firmware and swipe a new loader to fix the problem. It helped me, I also tried to repair the clock for 2 weeks with the same problem and wanted to carry them to the service.

Thank you for the link, I've downloaded it.
T-Mobile service, at least the people I've spoken to here in the USA don't seem to know much about the Samsung Watch... At all.
I'll wait a bit longer for answers to questions I've sent them. If they still can't help, I'll flash it myself.
Thanks again for all your help ????
I thought I'd give T-Mobile support one more try... 3rd time lucky ? I reached some one who knows their stuff.
They pushed the update to my R805U a few minutes ago.
The update worked smoothly, busy applying the new Bixby update... Then I'll take a look around and checkout the new stuff.
However, I have no idea why the Wearable App would not get the update initially.
Thanks for the help. ??
Hello everyone, this is my very first post here
I hope I posted this in the correct section of the forums. If not please point me out where I should place it! And sorry for the intrusion!
So basically my S20 Ultra ( Exynos variant SM-G988B/DS ) is stuck on February 1st, 2020 Update. My current version is G988BXXU1ATB3 /G988BOXM1ATB5 /G988BXXU1ATB2
I am pretty sure there have been tons of updates mainly to address the early camera issues, but I can't seem to make it visible to my current device so I can upgrade.
Is there a workaround in order to 'force' an update or I am missing something there?
Excuse my noobness
And nice to meet you all!

So basically my S20 Ultra ( Exynos variant SM-G988B/DS ) is stuck on February 1st, 2020 Update. My current version is G988BXXU1ATB3 /G988BOXM1ATB5 /G988BXXU1ATB2
I am pretty sure there have been tons of updates mainly to address the early camera issues, but I can't seem to make it visible to my current device so I can upgrade.
Is there a workaround in order to 'force' an update or I am missing something there?
Excuse my noobness
And nice to meet you all!

There are few threads crated on a daily that ask for the same. Just learn to flash it on your own via odin. No problem if you are noob... the problem if you don't use the search function and learn and move on from your noobness.
Download the firmware via SamFirm and flash it with odin. Stop waiting to receive OTA. Stay up to date, if you see there is a new update repeat those steps and you will always have the newest firmware.

My phone is 100% stock, no roots or other things -which I am learning as we speak -

Thank you very much for directing me to the right path, I was not sure of what search criteria I should type to find my solution Sorry.
These solutions will void my warranty or anything? Also as I am noob, is there danger to destroy my phone?

This solution will not void your warranty. After you downloaded the firmware via SamFirm you will have in the extracted folder two kinds of a file that's called CSC. One of them is called HOME_CSC you need to flash/choose the HOME one in order to keep all your data.

I doesn't matter anymore, G988BOXM1ATB5 they put everything in one pot, OXM is generic. And you can't change that that easily or for free anymore.

Fantastic, thank you. So that means I can download whatever GSC I want and it should work perfectly with my phone?
trying to find out which is the best for my Exynos s20 Ultra but being a noob is very hard
SamFirm does it for you. Just enter G988B in the device slot and OXM for the CSC slot. It's going to show you the right/newest one.
Just an update, I successfully updated to the latest firmware using ODIN, I was nervous at first but the process is really straightforward. Still having focus problems with my s20 ultra tho, but that is a story for another
Thanks, everyone for guiding me to the right path!
