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.

Hello I just bought Galaxy watch and I believe it was manufactured in Saudi arabia. I'm missing some apps such as spotify and galaxy app of my phone is in arabic and I can't seem to change that.
Is there a way for me to switch the region of my watch to something like USA so that I could install Spotify. and I know this isn't related but how do I change the region on Galaxy Wearable ? when I acess galaxy apps from it everything is in arabic which is really annoying.
Thank you !

Thank you so much. Last couple of questions. excuse my noob tech skills :silly:
but will this void my warranty ( as far as I understand I can switch back csc to what it was and they won't notice I changed that). and will I still get future updates or is this process is similar to rooting on android phones

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

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.

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.

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.
Hi everyone,
I have a Gwa 2 (SM-R820, Tizen 4.0.0.6, R820XXU1BTA1) and I want to change region from Portugal to Italy.
I've read this post but the links to get NetOdin and SDBStarterKidv1 aren't avaible anymore. Any help?
Also, the tutorial is about a R825 and I have R820. Where do I get the right Combination Firmware?
(I've found this video, is the CF showed right for my smartwatch?)
2 other questions:
1 I've the warranty still active. If i'll ever get a problem with my smartwatch regardless of what I'll do here, I'll be still able to reset to the "original status" so to get assistance from Samsung Assistence?
2 If everything works, my smartwatch will still get updates?
Thanks for everyone who will be able to help me :fingers-crossed:

And get them both working.
But i couldnt find how to enable samsung pay..
Please help , i am new to all this coming from apple ecosystem.
Take a look at instruction on the forum and changing CSC to USA or Korean

1. If you don't have Samsung Health Monitor (SHM) present on your watch as default app, you can get ECG and BP working with Indian CSC without any system modification simply by installing 3 apks (modified SHM, ECG and BP).
2. However, if you have SHM already installed as a system app on your watch (from Samsung firmware), then you can only get ECG working with the modified SHM apk and the ECG tpk method. The system app won't allow the BP to work (it's locked out by Samsung). You now have 2 options:
A. Use the alternate method detailed by @Dante63 in his thread (involves seting up a java environment on your PC, and using Tizen studio to sign your own apps)
OR
B. Change CSC on your watch to mimic a watch bought in countries where SPay, BP, ECG etc are officially unlocked by Samsung.
I've used the method in B and Changed CSC to ZTO (Brazil) and everything is working fine in India (I live in Chennai)
All this is much easier if you have a Samsung phone, but still do-able with other brand phones.
This thread by @Dante63 has all the information you need for getting ECG and BP working without modifying CSC: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-restriction-removed-11th-april-2021.4202685/
For changing CSC, follow the instructions in TechnoProz's video on YouTube:
You can choose to buy combination firmware and stock firmware files from the internet, or use files uploaded by @adfree and @Nmc_alves® on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/firmware-r820-r830.4161883/
Just make sure to double and triple check your watch model number, and your firmware and Tizen version carefully before proceeding because a bad flash can potentially ruin your day and although recoverable, it's a pain to get USB Odin working on a watch.
I will also add that if you want Samsung Pay to work, and you do not have a Samsung Phone, running stock ROM, you will need:
Install Magisk (root/superuser access)
And then will need to:
check you pass SafetyNet (you might want this to test, as currently the inbuilt test in Magisk Manager is not working: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample ) Passing SafetyNet can very much be down to the ROM, so you may need to seek help from the ROM thread of the ROM youre using
enable MagiskHide under Magisk Manager Settings
enable MagiskHide for ALL Samsung related packages (Gear/Samsung/Watch Plugins)
enable Hide The Magisk App (call it anything but anything with Magisk in it)
reboot
then try adding card to Samsung Pay
If Samsung Pay even sniffs root you will NOT get Samsung Pay working - as it writes to a database somewhere and you will have to erase data for the Gear/Samsung/Watch Plugin apps and reset the Watch to start over
Im in the middle of doing a write up on how to keep the watch and Samsung Pay working across ROM flashes....i wont throw that on you in this post

I will also add that if you want Samsung Pay to work, and you do not have a Samsung Phone, running stock ROM, you will need:
Install Magisk
And then will need to:
check you pass SafetyNet (you might want this to test, as currently the inbuilt test in Magisk Manager is not working: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample ) Passing SafetyNet can very much be down to the ROM, so you may need to seek help from the ROM thread of the ROM youre using
enable MagiskHide under Magisk Manager Settings
enable MagiskHide for ALL Samsung related packages (Gear/Samsung/Watch Plugins)
enable Hide The Magisk App (call it anything but anything with Magisk in it)
reboot
then try adding card to Samsung Pay
If Samsung Pay even sniffs root you will NOT get Samsung Pay working - as it writes to a database somewhere and you will have to erase data for the Gear/Samsung/Watch Plugin apps and reset the Watch to start over
Im in the middle of doing a write up on how to keep the watch and Samsung Pay working across ROM flashes....i wont throw that on you in this post

Looking forward to your write-up. Sounds very intriguing and I'd love to hear more about it. It's amazing to see how large corporations like Samsung employ sneaky traps to stop people from modifying their phones and how someone determined enough can figure out ingenious ways to bypass all that It's a perennial cat and mouse game that I quite enjoy.
Looking forward to your thread.

While i can maintain the watch connection and Samsung Pay across ROM's (it is just re-using the same Android ID and magisk.db (that stores the magiskhidden packages)), there doesnt seem any way (currently) to maintain BP calibration data ....so i do have to recalibrate that every time
I dont enjoy the cat and mouse at 50

For better or worse, heres a link to my "keeping your watch connection and Samsung Pay working across ROMs" guide:
Keeping Watch Connection And Samsung Pay Across ROMs
This is currently how i keep my Galaxy Active 2 working - connected and Samsung Pay working - across ROM flashes without having to reset it every time, because resetting sucks Please note: At time of writing theres no known way to keep BP...

1. If you don't have Samsung Health Monitor (SHM) present on your watch as default app, you can get ECG and BP working with Indian CSC without any system modification simply by installing 3 apks (modified SHM, ECG and BP).
2. However, if you have SHM already installed as a system app on your watch (from Samsung firmware), then you can only get ECG working with the modified SHM apk and the ECG tpk method. The system app won't allow the BP to work (it's locked out by Samsung). You now have 2 options:
A. Use the alternate method detailed by @Dante63 in his thread (involves seting up a java environment on your PC, and using Tizen studio to sign your own apps)
OR
B. Change CSC on your watch to mimic a watch bought in countries where SPay, BP, ECG etc are officially unlocked by Samsung.
I've used the method in B and Changed CSC to ZTO (Brazil) and everything is working fine in India (I live in Chennai)
All this is much easier if you have a Samsung phone, but still do-able with other brand phones.
This thread by @Dante63 has all the information you need for getting ECG and BP working without modifying CSC: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-restriction-removed-11th-april-2021.4202685/
For changing CSC, follow the instructions in TechnoProz's video on YouTube:
You can choose to buy combination firmware and stock firmware files from the internet, or use files uploaded by @adfree and @Nmc_alves® on this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/firmware-r820-r830.4161883/
Just make sure to double and triple check your watch model number, and your firmware and Tizen version carefully before proceeding because a bad flash can potentially ruin your day and although recoverable, it's a pain to get USB Odin working on a watch.

Well, before updating my watch to tizen 5.5.0.2 i successful installed bp monitor and then delete it on my own. No i dont have shm on my watch right now. At present when i am trying to follow dante's instructions to install 3 apps.. i get to do it successfully for shm and ecg but i get failed to install message for bp monitor app. Any clue why? I tried 3 apps from different sources multiple times.

Can you please describe what you're doing a little more clearly? Tizen 5.5.2.2 can mean one of many firmwares - DUA3, DUA7, DUD1. Which one are you running?
The SHM app you're installing - is it the phone app or the Watch companion app?
Are you trying to install ECG and BP standalone apps along with the SHM app for the watch? You don't need all three - either install the first 2 or the 3rd one (it has ECG and BP built in)
When I was on DUA3 firmware, I only installed 2 apps:
1. Modified SHM app for the phone (v189)
2. SHM companion app for the watch
This got both ECG and BP working.
After that I have changed CSC to get these apps natively and am on DUD1 firmware, so I'm unable to test for you if Samsung has done something to disable BP in the newer firmware.

I can confirm everything works, i made my Indian active 2 ( R825F ) working all things, lte works with JIO, samsung pay started working ecg and BP working with couple of apks, neither of them were working before here in my country India except the LTE, wow it was soo easy, just get that easy firmware membership and you can follow techno Proz youtube video, such a relief.
