Hi guys, was wondering if anyone could help me...
I'm trying to root my Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 on my Macbook Pro (Lion) using Heimdall but to no avail.
I've got Heimdall 1.3.1 and Kies installed on my mac and have tried through both Terminal and Frontend to just detect the phone to start off with; every time it just comes back with the 'Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.' message.
Oh and I also tried putting into download mode through ADB as I read somewhere that doing so this way might possibly make the Mac detect it. Not true. Garbage.
Does it make a difference that I'm on O2 (UK)? I've seen so many posts talking about network specific methods...
Anything would be a massive help at the moment, I'm pretty lost right now...
Cheers
Hello, I'm trying to connect my rooted samsung galaxy S3 but everytime I get this message.
I've tried to install the google driver and samsung driver, nothing works. I also tried to search and ask people nobody knows a thing.
Thanks
Hi,
Has anybody got S2 successfully connected to Gear 2 watches, or is this lost course? I got to myself Neo couple of days ago. I use CM11 rom and installed latest Gear Manager to it. S2 himself pairs with success, even connects via bluetooth. But with Gear Manager 1.7, I can pair with success, but cannot connect successfully to watch. It's just saying connecting and doing nothing. Tried with version 2.0 of Manager and this one doesn't to anything, just saying error message that "unable to connect to Gear", upgrade software and so on. Samsung officially said what they are doing all to get Gear 2 watches working with all Android phones with 4.3 or newer in near future. But then and how long must we wait only future can tell. I'm really happy with S2 and CM11 rom, is this really so that I need to buy new phone or wait before guys from XDA are cooking working software..
Edit:
Yes, got working! Read Gear 2 thread and got hint to do restart after installation. Now Gear Manager 1.7.031004 / 2.0.14031004 paired and connected successfully. Got punch of errors (several stopped workings while connecting -saprovider.apk and goproviders.apk ), but watch and S2 seem to get along.
please explain your steps
Hi Equ,
I'm stuck with exactly the same problem.
I have a Galaxy Gear 2 Neo and I'm trying to connect it to my GS2 i9100.
Looking for other threads I've found only this one and post there my attempts: [HOW TO]USE Samsung Galaxy Gear with i9100
Could you please explain how you get the solution, which rom and gear manager apk have you used?
Thank you so much,
Flavio.

I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862 . I have latest CM11 by Markox89 on S2, and Gear Manager is latest available I believe 2.0.14042803, but on first time I used 2.0.14041404. Of course many things don't work with S2, but I used this solution to only pair and to finish watch initialization. Using only pedometer and heartrate monitor for daily usage. No alarmclock or notifications (missing them mostly), sadly, but many thing still working Root access was gained couple of days ago, so now must wait for modders, maybe something more will happen for Galaxy S2 too
Thank you so much.
I'm going to try this procedure and report here my results.
I will also investigate the code of the Gear Manager apk because the I'm quite sure the incompatibility message (device not supported exception) could be not a real issue but only a check in the code.
If this is true changing the result of the check should simplify the installation of the apk without need to modify the original build.prop file which could affect the correct phone functionality.
gear connected with i9100
Here my updates:
I was able to connect the gear with the GS2.
Unfortunately changing the puild.prop file record ro.product.model will affect every rom I've tested, after shout down the device can't start again.
I always needed to restore a previous backup in recovery mode.
Using Phone/GUI Interface method also doesn't work properly because I'm still not able to move the apk inside /system/app folder and this probaly is the reason I can't install S-voice and S-healt app.
However I've installed Gear Manager v2.0 14041404 and all Connecting-Fix pack apps (the only exception is SAWeatherProvider_signed.apk) on my GS2 i9100 with android 4.4.2 SlimKat rom.
Connecting the Gear always generate an error but the paring and connection procedure will complete correctly.
I want to buy gear fit but i am not sure it will work so i wont buy, maybe buy smartwatch i dont know (

How did you manage to get you're watch working with you're s2. I have a sght989d S2 and I have been fiddling with it for the past 3 days trying to get it to connect. I would really appreciate you're input.

I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862 and it worked for me. But I have GT-9100 model of S2.
Firts of all, Sorry for my english, i'm Vietnamese
and so, here is my problem, i hava a Galaxy tab M180s run on Android Gb 2.3 UC27 rooted rom. I have my device to run this rom for 3 months and it work perfectly. After that, i wanted to install AoPK 4.0.4 (my parents wanted to use my tab but they doesn't understand English) but when i plug the USB port, the computer doesn't seem to identify my device, my tab doesn't show the "Mass Storage Device" option in stasus bar, so i can't install the rom or neither copy anything into my tab.
I've already tryed to install Kies and ADB Driver but it's still not work.
So that, can anybody give me a solution for my USB method Problem, Plz
or can anyone make a .zip file of AoKP and CWM for my Tab so i can install it via CWM
