[Tutorial] How to root your Tizen Samsung Gear & remove camera shutter sounds
- Thread starter jonboyuk

I'm having problems getting my Gear to enter bootloader mode. I press and hold down the power button and my Gear shows "rebooting", the screen will flash and then it shows the same then again, again, again...etc. The only time anything different happens is when I release the power button and then it will boot up like normal. So, is there another way to enter bootloader mode?
After you see the "rebooting" screen, you don't hold down the button, you the the push it repeatedly until it goes to bootloader screen. Usually you just need to push 3 or 4 times.

Stuck at "NAND Write Start!" Too
Gear's still showing "Do Not Turn Off Target!" Any help would be appreciated. Is it ok to restart the process?

Did you re-Download the file ?, most of the times the file is broken it suppose to be checked by odin but some odin versions are modded to skip that validation, try to download again the file, and also try to do it using another computer, or disable the antivirus protection, and run as adminitrator

Did you flash the firmware?, do not turn off target appears when you are on download mode that means you can flash via odin, but are you getting any error message ?, odin is showing your gear connnected ?

I made all the steps and i get root on my Gear and also i get no sound on camera, just follow all the steps, and it will work, i did it using a tablet running windos 8.1 no problem at all, thanks for sharing the method
Tried both win7&8.1u1
Tried running as admin
Verified Tizen (has generic notifications working)
Verified model and sw version
SM-V700
V700XXUBNA6
The watch begins a loading bar to indicate that communication has happened (as soon as I hit start on odin), but does not move after 30+minutes. No error messages are reported by the watch nor odin (until I unplug the watch and then I get the generic failed due to disconnect). The watch reboots as if nothing happened if I hold the power button and functions as if I had not tried this at all.

Ah, thanks. I didn't think that it would require a specific version of tizen, I figured that since it was a full flash, it just required some version or earlier. I'll try it when I get home, thanks.
I have pm Jijonhyuni for look if he can help me to mod the file (see he's name at first post) because I don't know Who is autor of this file
Is the image file linked here the latest Tizen firmware?
Also, does it overwrite the system causing it to factory reset?

Please Help w/ Rooting Samsung Gear
Guys,
Although the post is more detailed and helpful than any other forum or video on the net, I am still having trouble with rooting my Samsung Gear 1. First, the link provided in step 3 is broken. I went to the site and the file would not download. It said it will begin in 20 seconds but never started. Can anyone give me a working link for the v700_rootfs.img.tar? Secondly, I am a beginner when it comes to rooting (especially smartwatches). Previously, I’ve rooted my S4 and installed various custom ROMs; however, I do not understand step 4. Could someone explain sdb command prompt, sdk, and sdb library? I need to understand this step in order to move forward (once I get the tar file). I’m good with the rest of the post, steps 5-9. Additionally, does anyone know of a good step-by-step video that breaks down rooting of the Samsung gear w/ Tizen OS AND installation of the first Tizen Mod Rom? Thanks
Samsung Gear 1
Model #: SM-V700
Software Version: V700XXECNF1

I downloaded the file that you gave me ran it. went into cmd prompt as admin and ran the following:
C:
sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /
sdb shell mv /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder/ /usr/share/sounds/mm-camcorder_bak/
sdb shell mv /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-camera-app/res/sounds_bak
and none of that worked. Are there any odin files to do this ?

22How to root your Samsung Gear with Tizen
Before I start, I would like to credit Jijonhyuni for the root method, TML1504 for the camera silencing method and fibs for extracting the SDB utility from the Tizen SDK. I couldn't find an easy guide to rooting the Gear with Tizen so I thought I'd be helpful and provide a 'how to' post.
As with all rooting guides on XDA, I take no responsibility for you damaging your device. So read first and follow with precaution.
Steps for root
1. Make sure you're using a Gear 1 (v700) not 2.
2. Ensure that you are running the Tizen operating system. If not, you can update officially via Samsung kies.
3. Download this image file.
4. Download this sdb command prompt or download the SDK and just choose to install the appropriate SDB library from the installer.
5. Download Odin
6. Put the gear into bootloader mode. To do this, turn off the device. Then turn on and keep the power button held in until it says "Gear Rebooting...". Once it says this keep pressing the power button until the bootloader menu is displayed. At this point, press the power button once to highlight "Download" then press and hold the power button one last time to select it. This should enter downloading mode, where it warns to not turn off the target.
7. Put the gear into the charging device and plug into your PC. If you've not done this before, wait for the driver to automatically install before proceeding to step 8.
8. Extract then open up Odin and don't change any of the settings. All your need to do is to select 'AP' and choose the first file you downloaed 'v700_rootfs.img.tar'. Click start and wait for Odin to flash (should take around 30 seconds).
9. Let it reboot (I think it will restart 2 times and you've successfully rooted!!!
Steps for removing camera sounds
1. Turn on 'USB debugging' on the Gear by going into Settings|Gear Info|USB Debugging.
2. Plug your gear into your PC if it isn't already from the rooting procedure.
3. Extract the sbd.exe and put it somewhere easy to access (ie the root of a drive). I've put mine in the root of my C: drive. hence why the first line of the commands below starts with 'C:' If you put it somewhere else, make sure you point the command prompt to the relative directory.
4. Click the start button in Windows and type 'cmd'. Right click on 'Command Prompt' and open as administrator.
5. Type each line, one at a time and press return. If it shows no errors, then the command should have worked successfully. Work your way through each one.
6. Unplug the Gear and turn off USB debugging in Settings|Gear Info|USB Debugging, then reboot the device.
7. Take a photo/video. No sound!
And finally, let me know if it works!2My pleasure. I only did it because there's so much of the "Odin|Flash|Done!" tutorials these days and it really doesn't help beginners. Just doing my bit
1It's simple enough just to download sdb and the appropriate libs correctly from the tizen download tool.
Unselect everything and just tick SDK development tools ; 1.6M download.11
I faced the same problem and solved by installing the drivers from here http://down2.local.sec.samsung.com/...load/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip
