Hi, I bought my watch in Belgium and can't access Samsung Pay here in France so I'm trying to change the watch's region.
I know there are a lot of threads about this already but I can't find the files or anything for my R810.
I'd love it if you could make it very clear on the exact process as I'm a noob.
I was also not sure wether or not the 2018 tutorials would still work
They do work.
See some of the info i went through lately here

Afternoon all, first time post-er, long time reader.
I'm tired of waiting for the official update from Orange for 2.2 so I have taken it upon myself to root my phone and unlock it, with the vain hope that this will allow my Kies to provide me with the update.
I have successfully rooted my phone as I have a little ninja man in my apps, and I have downloaded the SGS Unlock App from DaGentooBoy, but it tells me my unlock code is 00000000. This isn't correct as I have tried it, twice, with a 3 sim card and I only have 1 attempt left. Anyone have any ideas what has gone wrong? I am new to this, and although I'm not afraid to try most things, I would rather have a straight forward response or link provided so that I am filled with confidence
I have seen some posts about an Odin method, but I have no idea what that is
Any ideas??? Please??
If your talking about unlocking and going to a diff. Company I would call t mobile and tell then I bought the phone for someone else and need to unlock the phone as they are with a diff company maybe they won't charge if its a gift for someone else I mean you already bought the phone so they got your money
Unlocking so you can use other provider's sim cards and flashing a different rom are two different things. If your Orange branded phone isn't allowing you to update you can do this kies registry hack

If you're looking at unlocking as well you can check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045, or whatever other methods you can find to unlock. I read a thread on here about the unlock codes for the galaxy series actually being stored in the system directory somewhere but I can't find the thread. I'll update this post if I can find it again.
Edit - Found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867331 apparently it wasn't specific to the Galaxy series, just samsung in general. Hope it works for you.
Thanks for the help people. It hasn't worked for me, but thats because I've no idea what I am doing!! Guess I'll just wait for Orange to send the official update.........
A friend of mine bought a Nokia Lumia 900 on ebay and the guy said it was a store demo. When you turn it on its in demo mode and we cant get it out of demo mode. I did some research and saw you can put a stock rom into it. So i downloaded nokia care suite found the right stock rom but i cannot get it to take it. Is there something im missin? Ive followed the steps that were in the other forums on this site and still nothing. Does the phone nned to be unlocked or something? Ive put custom roms in android phones before and it wasnt this complicated. Any help would be great thanks.
Make sure the code matches exactly ie: 059PK etc, You will find the code on the sim-tray, Then try again following the tutorial, If that doesn't work then maybe its because of it being just a demo device.

When i look up that code on thhe SIM card holder it says att retail device alive black. I want to get away from the retail version. I thought as long as you had the right codes for your phone model and color you could use it.
That's how it usually works, However your case is different having a demo handset,
Hi,
I am pretty much a complete novice with this rooting and unrooting business but I decided to do a spot of research to try and gain a certain level of understanding before jumping on XDA.
I have recently brought a LG G4 and updated it to 6.0 Marshmallow through the LG Bridge and seems to be working fine.
However after doing some digging around I would like to unroot the phone install Xposed to have the capability to install some decent modules.
From what I understand though if anything goes wrong you would require the correct KDZ file to revert the phone back to stock, this is wherein my problem lies as I cant find the correct file.
I have looked at some of the links provided within certain KDZ tutorials on xda but without any success. I believe I can use another file in times of need but I would like the correct carrier KDZ encase of a warranty claim.
Does anyone have an idea or maybe can suggest other sites?
The strange thing is though after watching a video tutorial on how to unroot the guy goes to ([devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/) and searches for his required file but when on the website I can clearly see the file I need is there but I don't seem to be able to find it when I search. I will say though that the video is old (last summer) but does anyone know if the files are deleted and added regularly on there?
Phone - LG-H815
KDZ Required - VDF (UK)
Any help would be much appreciated

Ok so I just got out of prison and use to have a rooted phone actually I've rooted all my phones I cant find a single walk through for this phone matter of fact I cant find anything on it and I want to root it because I wanna get rid of ads and custom recovery possibly a rom that's more customizable its through straight talk can anyone help me please once again it's a sm-s260dl
Just bumping this to see if any response. I also have Sm-s260dl, and it's locked up tight. "oem unlock" option is hidden in settings, and I've tried tricks posted online to reveal it, but don't work. I also went to authorized Samsung service, and they couldn't do anything. They are bound by Samsung agreement that they can't flash any fw on a device except for the original stock fw (to repair only), and there is only one file officially available for Sm-s260dl, which is the same fw it has, which is Tracfone branded, (which is probably the reason it's so inaccessible).
I have network unlocked, using Samkey, and have access to freeze system apps and write secure settings, using adb and Island/appops/setedit apps, but would really like to be able to unlock the bl. I know it's made unlockable by Samsung, but how's can I get to it?
Any way to use activity manager or other adb to toggle the switch through terminal, or...?
Thanks
Hello,
I'm looking for stock firmware for this device. I'm having difficulties flashing the firmware I have found for it. I need the BIT 5 version to flash in Odin.
Thanks.
Souds as if all our s260dl need the same bit, as ive also been searching for it. It is listed as downloadable with Z3x box server, torrent file, so i dont know if there is an atual file attached to it, i dont know. I have been able to get a couple torrents to work, but not this one.I I have chimera, and it has 0 files for this model.
Interesting enough, when looking into this device, I found a post, that shows an image of the s260dl and on the screen the firmware installed is J260Axxxxx.
If i remember correctly, it was a leak before the official release /announcement for the device.
Im thinking itll be accessable soon., or I'll end up getting the z3x box soon anyway. Ill update here if found etc.
Bootloaders locked tight, no root for this device unless exploit found.
Can easily be network unlocked for use on other carriers tho.
please help with this phone

Dude, what happened? Did you manage to move forward with the device?
Hi all
Hope this is the correct area...
My hubby bought me a S20 plus for my birthday through a local dealer.
I noticed a few issues like not being able to use biometrics or install certain apps.
I've since found out the phone has been rooted.
I've tried to do a factory reset, but this hasn't helped.
I've downloaded root checker and it confirms the phone is rooted. I've downloaded SuperSU yet is won't work as ver 2.82 claims it's for an older Version of Android.
I've downloaded solid explorer to delete the root access files such as Busybox and SU however I cannot find these files in the system folder or the system/bin folder.
Can anyone advise on how I can unroot my phone? I am unable to install certain needed apps due to this.
Phone details below. Sorry am unable to upload pics.
UI Version = 1
Android Version = 10
Let me know if other info is needed.
I've even tried calling the Samsung Center and they are unable to assist...
Thanks all
Lee

You will need to get hold of the stock firmware from somewhere like Sammobile and flash back to stock using ODIN. There's tons of guides knocking about on here for the step by step. The damage is done though as far as any Knox related features go, it's like a fuse that blows when you root and you can never fix that.
Having said that, biometrics should have never been affected by rooting so that's a bit unusual. Flash stock and set up from scratch then go from there, could be faulty also
Thanks for the guidance Dave. I'll search the forums for the steps.
For clarity, when I say biometrics didn't work, it works allow me to record etc, but when I tried to enable it, like on my banking app, it wouldn't allow me. This is how I eventually figured out my phone was rooted. While I know the benefits of being rooted, a normal everyday user like myself, certainly won't benefit from it.
I've had a Samsung my entire life, and always saw the secured by knox logo... When you say damage has been done, does this mean that all my security in the device, such as my banking details etc, may be compromised?
Jees. I hope not. As this would really freak me out...
Ok so Finding the firmware wasn't to difficult. Sanmobile quite easy to navigate.
Just a query please... My phone base band version lists g985fxxu1atb2 however the closest I could find to this is G985FXXU1ATBM
Is this ok or does it have to be the exact same description?
Shoo. Lol. Really hope I'm going to be able to get this right **insert nervous smile emoticon here**

The last letters are the region/operator of the Rom. Not necessarily has to be the exact description, the really important are the first that indicate model number.
Ok. So have downloaded Odin and am busy downloading the flash firmware.
May I please be so bold as to ask someone on here to please share a link tot he step by step guide that I will need to follow in order to flash my phone back to the original boot thingie :silly::silly::silly:
I have tried to search but seem to only come up with a nexus thread with no mention of Odin.
~Sorry to ask, but little overwhelmed LOL and want to make sure I do this properly and not screw up my phone.
REAL noob here, so apologies if I come across lazy and getting others to do the work, but am really grateful for the help.
Maybe I'm searching incorrectly???
I found this somehow....
Is this it?

**fingers crossed**
Can you unlock your phone with biometrics? Im guessing only the banking apps don't work because it's rooted. If i remember correctly most banking apps and maybe Google pay(not sure about that) stop working after rooting because the phone is "compromised" and it's not safe. You have to hide your root status from these apps and they will work properly then. Maybe someone else can help you with that because i do not remember how to do it.
Hi Marto
Yes, biometrics does work, although not really good. But that's probably due to the hectic screen protector.
Correctly so, it's mostly the banking / payment apps that won't work, and I can't check or download any software updates... Although I belive this can also be done manually....
But wow, there's an app that hides the root status? That might be a whole lot easier than re flashing. Truthfully I'm Sh!tting myself at the thought of attempting this ????

if the phone was bought as new, go back to the dealer and demand a new one that is not rooted.
could also be that your husband rooted the phone and installed software that keep tabs on what you do.
