Classic Gear S2.

SO, After researching and getting my life together these last 30 or so minutes I have come to the conclusion MAYBE their is hope for us classic users. Ill begin the process of downloading the Gear 2's* androidwear port and try the root process they have in there threads! Hopefully I can gain root and begin porting but it should boot mainly do to the fact we have the exactly same processors. So wish me luck and if I make process I will surely update everyone and if I can really get something after downloading the source of there device I will make another thread! :)

UPDATE: So I am no professional and any collaboration would help but I think I found how I am going to initiate a root exploit and anyone with any knowledge and ability in WEB APP, and maybe would like to find a way/app that does not include the CSP security measure as much would be appreciated or maybe if you or anyone has another suggestion for gaining root as i have never had to find an exploit, I have only ever built and ported.

UPDATE 2: Just noticed DEP(data execution prevention) Is NOT enabled in Tizen so that seems like a fair try and gain. So we should be able to activate Shellshock on boot, But I've never done this for a watch and certainly not Tizen! Wish me luck, any help would be amazing!

UPDATE 3: SO I talked to a great developer who informed me the route to take and it's a long road. But he has some of it done and maybe reading what he has and the more or less will help me. But I know where to start and I will attempt that today.

UPDATE 4: Kernel is going GREAT with the help I got from a certain amazing developer! Now until I find a root exploit I cannot test the kernel, But it seems EXTREMLY promising!!

How did you get the kernel dump? I would like to fuzz it. I'm assuming source is not available? Are symbols stripped in the dump?

NO I should have clarified, the method I'm using it based on finding a root exploit to pull the kernel via adb, and right now I'm using a copy of the Gear 2, and LG g watch to start setting up the certain things I'll need when I do get it pulled. So far until I can find a way to root, no process on our kernel will be able to be made. All I know is the hardest porting part issue the kernel, as it DOES NOT PLAY well with tizen. Because it's tried booting the Gear 2 kernel and porting it for there tizen and it was working, to follow a method used by another developer and for the most part with what i have seen it should work. All wed need is to gain root. I can direct you to the kernel I'm studying but it won't help, as all I'm doing is seeing what work i would have to do after. So far I've tried every way I know to gain root and have failed.

I've silently been hoping to hear from chainfire, and any other devs I have seen that NIGHT be able to hear, sadly some have slowly disappeared or are to busy. Tizen is a very odd system, and a very good one to prevent root at that. I've tried anything I can. And when I think of new ways I try but for now until we can get root nothing will happen.

Surprised to notice I never came across these... I'll take a look at the first link right now actually, it looked promising I'll have to unpack and see what's in it but I mean maybe. Thank you! Anyone else is welcome to help. I'll report back tomorrow night.

    I know there is no Android Development section to this device, I personally love tizen, but who wouldn't want to see AW on this watch.


    That being said the Gear S2 is using a Qualcom S4 play Cpu dual core 1.2ghz, I have been doing a lot of research and I may not be a developer, but I want to do what I can to see if it's possible. I have been on the forums and talking to many people in person about this and I have a few leads. I personally need people who can test and possibly help me get a better understanding of what I can do. I believe the hardware should be capable of running Android but I only have a few ideas/limited time to try them. I am looking for the recourses and or people to help me get this project started.
    It's a proof of concept, I understand functionality will be lost, and if you want to tell me it's not worth it, or something I've already been told. Please kindly do not post. I am interested in general conversation about it, in a positive way. Unless you are saying something particularly for the mutual benefit/genuine curiosity/or an interest in the topic. I understand this will take up to a year to complete and I will likely create a different thread when the time comes. Thank you for reading and your help is appreciated.

    Sincerely,
    GOIGIG
