This one does not, however, there is a version out there that does. Do keep in mind that this version works with Tizenmod. NL2 does not yet.
Yep. If you want to use tizenmod then it requires you to downgrade to NE5. If Tizenmod gets updated then we'll be able to use NL2
nope all i did was plug in and flash tizen ne5 3.0 right over top of nl2. no issues. i couldnt find a ne5 tar samsung firmware already had them down. so i took the risk and it works fine.
Good to know. I figured this would work but wasn't sure since Skin stated that it would require the NE5 firmware to work right.
Everything is fine when I flashed to Tizen NE5 3.0. The problem is I cant connect it to my LG L70 D325.
Ya I wouldn't know I'm connecting to a Samsung device. No issues.

Think nl2 is same firmware with couple changes. Like my note 3 I'm on nk4 firmware but run nh7 no issues. It really depends on the release. We basically got a patch or bug update. I had no issues on ne5 happy to be back on it.

Well, thanks for response. I wish there's a Great Dev help me to connect Samsung Gear 2 to my LG L70 D325.
It should function as any of the other ways to connect your watch to a non-samsung phone. IT requires side loading all the APKS. I'm on my phone so it might be a while before I am able to get you the link to the forum that can help.
Alright here is the link to it. Although it says gear 2 it is the same process for the Neo

No worries. I would ask in that thread anyways. They may have another option for you.

11All credit goes to Fibs for finding out the root method.
Original forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2771470
Tested on NE5 with Neo with Windows 7 & 8.
Important!: This requires that the Tizen SDK already be installed on your computer. Instructions to install SDK Here. Before rooting make sure your Gear is backed up through Gear manager.
To flash NE5 download from Sammobile. Make sure that you are logged in to download it. Flashing NE5 over ND8 or NDD won't hurt it. Just flash through Odin.
Once you are on NE5 please download Fibs rootf_s and flash through Odin
R381XXU0BNE5rootfs_root.tar. Remove the .md5 at the end so the file is a .tar file. (Needs Gear 2 NEO R381XXU0BNE5 installed)
How to do it?
1. Open command prompt
2. Navigate to where the Tizen SDK is installed in command prompt
3. Run command sdb root on (should tell you that you are in root mode)
Congratulations you have root access.
If you get permission denied then make sure you flashed Fibs rootf_s file in Odin.
**you can check root by running the command below**
Code:sdb shell sh-3.2# whoami root \\it should tell you root\\
If it tells you that you are a developer run the code below
Code:sdb root on \\switched to 'root' account mode\\ sdb shell sh-3.2# whoami root
What is this good for?
Removing stock sounds *Be careful*
sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /
sdb shell rm /opt/share/settings/Alerts/ filename.ogg (for removing ringtones change Alerts to Ringtones)
sdb shell mount -o remount,ro / **Make sure that you remount to read only before restarting**
reboot watch
Custom ringtones/alerts:
sdb root on
sdb push your_ringtone.ogg /opt/share/settings/Alerts/ (pushing ringtones change Alerts to Ringtones
reboot watch
Keep in mind free diskspace is 80MB for /opt/ don't fill it up!
If something goes wrong you can always reflash your firmware, factory reset the device and everything is back to normal.3
Yes. I am working on the vibrate files right now so that we can change the method of vibration. Once that is done I will move to getting them to play at the same time.32can i root my gear 2 neo without andorid Sdk ? my watch will be damge or not ? because i cant install SDK in my PC
Well to root your watch you have to have Odin installed and the correct drivers. The only reason to use the SDK is to add/remove things from the watch OS.1Really? It has root? Awesome! Not tried this yet. I ordered neo watch it should be coming in few days. Can't wait to try this!:victory:
