I was successful rooted Gear S for DoCoMo Japan version.
I think that it can be rooted in the same procedure in the other models .

1. Download firmware
2. Extract tar.md5
3. Mount rootfs.img in Linux
4. copy files (attached file)
cp su ${mountfolder}/bin/su
chmod 755 ${mountfolder}/bin/su
cp vconf-init ${mountfolder}/etc/rc.d/init.d/vconf-init
chmod 755 ${mountfolder}/etc/rc.d/init.d/vconf-init
cp rc.local.service ${mountfolder}/etc/systemd/system
​
5 umount rootfs.img
6 tar -H ustar -c rootfs.img > rootfs.img.tar
7 md5sum rootfs.img.tar >> rootfs.img.tar
8 rename rootfs.img.tar.md5
9 Push Gear S Button while Reboot
10 select Download mode
11 write rootfs.img.tar.md5 with odin

that picture shows October 14th 2014 the Gear S came out in November so did you use the Gear 2 root to root your GS as you say?

ごめんください。ちょっとしつもんがあります。本当にchmod 755 ${mountfolder}/bin/suですか。"su"というfileをcopyしました。"sh"というfileはちがいますか。

    IF YOU ARE TOTALLY GREEN TO TIZEN, SDB, LINUX, ROOTING OR COMPUTERS IN GENERAL -->> STOP!


    That being said, the instructions in this thread are somewhat lacking. I have a T-mobile variant of the Gear S and using these instructions as well as ALOT of prior linux / sdb knowledge, I was able to get root, customize my notifications+icons and stuff. I am waiting on permission from another dev for his part of the work so that I can do a full write up from start to finish. These instructions need ALOT of pre-requisites such as having a working copy of linux ( by working I mean that YOU actually know how to work it,otherwise its free, duh.), the Tizen SDK, a working knowledge of ODIN and guts, lots of guts. I will be doing a full write up assuming you have never even touched a computer before and will have it up as soon as the dev(s) I touched base with answer me (gotta give credit where credit is due).

    Be patient, don't brick your device!!


    Me personally, I'm a kid trapped in a mans body and wanted the Power Rangers notification sound that I had on my Gear 2, don't judge me. Thats the only reason that I went through dozens upon dozens of posts, installed and learned how to use linux and everything else.

    tar -H ustar -c rootfs.img > rootfs.img.tar
