That would be same as asking Apple to make Android available for their iPhones...

And why would they? There are a lot of people very satisfied with Tizen, which is not me:rolleyes:.
And if Sammy would make Wear OS an option they would be admitting that Tizen was hot garbage after all IMHO.

Looks like this has happened... Time to keep asking for wear on older watches

Memo to me...

Android-Version : R(AndroidWear 11)

Leads to such Google search hit...
9to5google.com

Wear OS emulator gives a tantalizing glimpse at the Android 11-based redesign [Video]

The Wear OS emulator in Android Studio now includes a preview of the upcoming Android 11 based update for Google's smartwatch software.
9to5google.com 9to5google.com

With the latest Android Studio Beta, you can use the built-in emulator to install and run a “Wear OS – Preview” build. The first notable detail we learn here is that, as expected, the new version is built on Android 11. For comparison, the current version of Wear OS — System Version H — is based on Android 9 Pie.

Hey chief,
I hope you're good...
First of all, this is really amazing and great...
Secondly, I think you should have a thread specifically for Watch 4 so we all can discuss things about it...
Finally, I wonder if any of the watch 4 features can be installed on previous watches 🤔...

I do really like the body fat idea...

Hello wise Guys,

has anybody here tried to port it to GW3 R845F?

My Daytimejob is programming PLC´s (Programable Logic Controller) but I have no experience with Andoid/Tizen etc. Firmwares. I wrote a few apps in C# and wrote Watchfaces in C#.

Perhabs if nobody has it ready to use, we could try to make a port together.

KNOX doesn´t matter.

@Christian1803 Thanks for your msg. As you see no one has quiet an expertise like @adfree , porting to gw3 would be a bit hard considering dynamic partitions and no TWRP support. If you are following the GW4 thread, you will see that I have posted images of potential pin outs, however looks like not a lot of devs have acces to this device due to which noy much tinkering has happened. If you want to start sonewhere, you can look at biktor_gj's thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/porting-android-to-gear-2.2992953/ .

Always a good sign when someone with good expertise joins the forum. Welcome .. :)

New attempt with TCP dump... PIT file in Download Mode... wireless...

Old Version captured only 3 KB... now 8 KB...

Tested with SM-R820...

Maybe for 64 bit Windows better:

Code: 
nc64 -vv -l -w 5 -p 13579 < ODINcommand_full.bin > response_full.bin

I have only tested on 32 bit Windows:
Code: 
Vista
Windows 7 Starter

Because old Notebooks with WiFi... for direct connection...

Best Regards

Edit 1.

Tested by me on Windows 10... 64 bit...

Code: 
D:\netcat>nc -vv -l -w 5 -p 13579  0<ODINcommand_full.bin 1>response_full.bin
listening on [any] 13579 ...
192.168.49.1: inverse host lookup failed: h_errno 11004: NO_DATA
connect to [192.168.49.20] from (UNKNOWN) [192.168.49.1] 53862: NO_DATA
net timeout
 sent 22532, rcvd 8236


D:\netcat>dump_PIT_wifi_NetCat_v10.bat

D:\netcat>nc64 -vv -l -w 5 -p 13579  0<ODINcommand_full.bin 1>response_full.bin
listening on [any] 13579 ...
192.168.49.1: inverse host lookup failed: h_errno 11004: NO_DATA
connect to [192.168.49.20] from (UNKNOWN) [192.168.49.1] 60026: NO_DATA
net timeout
 sent 22532, rcvd 8236

Both deliver same result for me... so nc or nc64 is not mandatory... 32 bit nc works also on 64 bit Windows...

    Honestly Annoying
    Hey guys! Some of you might know me from the LG G5 scene, but I have since moved on from there and am hoping to make some progress with the Gear S3 :)

    After doing some digging and paying zero attention in class today, I came across the kernel source files for the Exynos 7270 and the combination firmwares for the Gear 3 Classic and Frontier versions.

    If you don't know what combination files are here (link removed) is a great explanation but the TL;DR is that this is the internal firmware Samsung uses to reset devices, so it gives you full read/write access to the device including root access. So basically this is a pre-rooted firmware, and I assume that it is bootloader unlocked as it appears to flash an engineer sboot (bootloader), so I believe this would be the first step towards porting Android Wear/TWRP!

    The kernel source is what we will actually use to port over AW/TWRP. It does not seem to have been posted before, and took me a few hours of digging to find. My watch comes in tomorrow, and after I flash this firmware I will pull the boot.img and start making a device/vendor tree to attempt and make a kernel!

    Here is the kernel source for the Exynos 7270: https://github.com/HonestlyAnnoying/tizen_kernel_exynos7270
    Here is the kernel source for the Gear S3 (all versions) (will upload to GitHub in the morning): Samsung Opensource
    Here is the SM-R770 (Classic) combination firmware [R770XXU2BQC2]: link
    Here is the SM-R760 (Frontier) combination firmware [R760XXU2BQC2]: link

    The road to porting Android Wear is going to take a lot of work, and any help developing (not testing for now!) would be EXTREMELY appreciated (looking at you guys @cipherswitch @biktor_gj !;)). If you would like to help with development or would like to contribute in any way, please PM me or hit me up on Skype (honestly.annoying)!

    Here is a Google Drive folder with all files I have for this, it will be updated as new things are found

    1 Way to change CSC... Sales Code.

    It works after flashing back to my stock firmware. This firmware package is EXTREMELY limited to what it can do (eg. can't connect to a phone, all apps are disabled), it is mainly just for Samsung (and now us lol) to debug with and learn about how the boot process works with the root shell.

    The goal is to eventually:

    1. Build a working custom TIZEN kernel
    2. Build an Android kernel that boots up
    3. Port over TWRP/enable ADB through recovery
    4. Start working on Android Wear

    At this point I'm just trying to build a kernel with the sources I have, once that is done the real fun can begin ;)
