Saludos a todo el foro. Quiero compartir con ustedes el sistema que utilicé para recuperar un R825 bloqueado. Usé un plexiglás, los resortes de 4 bolígrafos y 4 pines. Publica las fotos aquí y agradece a todo el foro la ayuda recibida.
Antes de querer cambiarle el firmware al reloj me funcionaba normalmente, ya con este firmware nuevo instalado no me reconoce el Bluetooth ni el WiFi que podría ser ??? Ese es el gran problema que no me deja conectarme al celular por medio de Bluetooth ...
Al querer conectarme por medio de los pines del reloj a la PC no me reconoce no se si serán el cable o la conductividad o la combinación de colores ayuda urgente...

IMHO same Pinout as GWA2...

Same Question like in other Thread...

Your exact Model Name...

SM-R840 or LTE Variant SM-R845F?

Best Regards
if my watch model is sm-r820 I have tried several methods such as changing the pins for the colors of the cables and also the drivers and none gives me the solution

@Ndre81

Sorry, my fault because I am from Germany and your last post was not in English...


If I look again on your Photos...
Possible reason could be USB cable.

Not every cable work as it seems...

For me I had only used Samsung Original USB cable(s)...

The black cable with Micro USB...

Best Regards

Check this thread...

I have only own experience with SM-R732 and SM-R760...

But you can see more then 1 user can do this "magic" successfully also with GWA2...
And I have minimum Photos from 1 GW3 user...

My suggestion...

If you are 100000 % sure your wires have stable connection...
wires not tooooo long...
no short circuit somewhere...

My SM-R732 for instance I have soldered wires...


It is up to you... to find the missing "part"...

And be sure not to kill Hardware...


Best Regards

A

Sorry I have limited time and motivation...


B

IMHO nearly all hints are allready in this thread...

C

I have NO Crystal Ball...

No idea if you soldered wires...
Or you create solderless connection or you use Wünschelrute... or Telepathie...

Maybe add Photos... maybe we can learn something and we can try to identify solution...

About Odin...

I am lazy...

Hints... look at Photos and Screenshots from other users...


Best Regards

Edit 1.

Odin Version you can see here:

Success with 3.14...

And here visible 3.13:

take a look at the settings they made as the same problem happened to me then download a firmware from
fullstockfirmwaredownload . com
solder the cables correctly by reversing the green and white and manage to install it completely without any problem
I leave you the firmware that is for the SM-R820.
Could someone tell me how to remove KNOX from Galaxy Active 2?

My low-tech solution for SM-R820 is to make pin-holes in 3x5 card stock every 1mm with 1mm offset pattern using a sharp pointy object. Then put 20guage 5mm stripped wires through. Glue those from insulated side (hot melt or just craft glue and wait to dry). Then, slip insulation back on wires so just a tiny bit of wire sticks out - adjust so wires line up. Use blue painters tape to secure to watch.

The contact points are 1mm apart and offset on every other one is also about 1mm I think

O.O.O
..O.O

That fails - that printed jig is good idea, pins act as springs because impossible to get all 4 to contact otherwise. Trying to mod old wire-wrap socket - getting Windows does no recognize - tried swapping green/white - same thing. Does not recognize - guess is a bad connection....

Getting this in device manager:

Device USB\VID_0000&PID_0002\5&156c11fb&0&1 was configured.
Driver Name: usb.inf
Class Guid: {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}
Driver Date: 06/21/2006
Driver Version: 10.0.19041.488
Driver Provider: Microsoft
Driver Section: BADDEVICE.Dev.NT
Driver Rank: 0xFF0000
Matching Device Id: USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE
Outranked Drivers: usb.inf:USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE:00FF2000
Device Updated: false
Parent Device: USB\ROOT_HUB30\4&2e4b3329&0&0

What is needed is called Spring-Loaded Contacts, Spring probes, or Pogo Pins:

    Take it to samsung service centre and ACT Dumb!

    Hi, I have a SM-R820 and for mistake I flashed a incorret firmware (SM-R830) and now my watch it's bricked (?), It will allow me tho se the boot menu but all the options take me to the same screen, so I can't use the Download wireless again to reflash another firmware, please help it's brand new or some ideas? :D

    Thank you in advance.

    *I Tried to attach images but the forum wont allow me jet*

    Why not take it back to Samsung service center and play dumb that i don't know what happened an update came and after update, this happened. Now u guys fix it. As it is charging and not broken. Let them figure out what the hell is wrong or replace it. As you can't get it to recovery mode. Providing SM820 Combination firmware and stock won't help here.

    Can you do a tutorial on how you fixed the watch?

    What instructions do you need? Here everything is written and pictures.

    I tried soldered the watch and connect the USB. Device manager shows 2 'unknown USB device (Device Description request failed) massenges.

    I did try to install Samsung USB driver for mobile phones v1.7.23.0

    I also tried swapping green and white. Both gives me the same error massage.

    Did I missed out something?
