How do i update the firmware without having a samsung device?!? manually i think i was told?
you can't. Samsung design it so that requires Samsung phone for all functionalities. Even though you can hack it so that you can run Gear Manager on non-Samsung phone, you can't ask for 100% functionalities.
A. be patient and wait till you get your note edge later on....
or
b. Say the hell with it and do it now!
THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE R750T!!!
Download stock A07 firmware from here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/42450/R750TUVU1AOA7_R750TTMB1AOA7_TMB.zip/
Unzip R750TUVU1AOA7_R750TTMB1AOA7_TMB.zip and you should have a folder with two files in it,
specifically R750TUVU1AOA7_R750TTMB1AOA7_R750TUVU1AOA7_HOME.tar.md5 and SS_DL.dll
Make a note of where you saved the file.
Enable USB Debugging on the watch.
Enable USB Debugging
From your home screen swipe up to get into your "apps". Scroll until you find "settings". From the settings window, scroll all the way down to and select "Gear Info". Now scroll down to "USB Debugging" and check the box next to it. Thats it! USB debugging is now on and the watch will be recognized by the SDB shell and ODIN.

Download, unzip and run the executable SAMSUNG_USB_Driver.exe from here, it should look like below.
Its a pretty standard installation, just hit "next" all the way to the end and let it finish*.
*you may be prompted by Windows to let the program make changes, select "yes". It may also tell you that you already have Samsung Drivers installed, thats fine too.
Assuming everything goes OK (I don't see why it wouldn't!) You should have a window pop up like below.
You can confirm everything in your device manager.
Download ODIN from here
follow these instructions....
6. Put your Gear S into download mode.
This is pretty straight forward. From your main clock screen, press and hold the power button. Ignore the power prompts and keep holding until you see the screen that says "rebooting", quickly tap the button once and it should take you to the screen with several options like below.
Tap the button once to move down to "download" and then hold the button to select. It should now look like the screen below.
If those instructions seemed weird to you, check out the YouTube video
Flashing the IMG file using ODIN
At this point your Gear S should be in download mode and plugged into your computer. Open Odin3 v3.09.exe and make sure it says "added" on the bottom left side, it should look like below.
If the screens match up, select the "AP" option and navigate to the " R750TUVU1AOA7_R750TTMB1AOA7_R750TUVU1AOA7_HOME.tar.md5" file.
DO NOT CHANGE ANY OF THE CHECK BOXES UNDER THE OPTIONS SECTION!!
If everything looks good, go ahead and hit the "start" button. Your Gear should look exactly like mine below.
Let it run through its download and it should restart on its own. Odin should then say display a "pass" followed by a "reset" screen.
At this point your Gear will restart and go back to the home screen. You may need to reconnect to your phone and you can let it do any data recovery from the Gear Manager. It will only restore apps and some settings, it wont overwrite the file that was flashed over. To restore your data go into your Gear Manager, go down to Settings, then Backup & Restore, then choose Restore followed by "OK".
If it all went well, Congratulations! Your R750T is running the latest STOCK firmware.
Let me know if you get stuck.

R750W
I am guessing is fine if I flash the latest 2.2.1.4 ROM on my R750W which is still at 2.2.1.3 and has not yet received its update? Has anyone tried it yet?

That update doesnt apply to the R750W yet, currently the latest version for that model is Android 2.2.1.3 = R750WVLU1BNJ7. When the A07 firmware is available for that watch, then you can update. The latest A07 firmware is currently only available for the R750T (Tmobile) and the R750 from certain countries, not the R750A or the R750W.
The watch wont let you flash it anyways, you will get "dev unsupported" .
You can download Kies from samsung, plug your Gear S to your PC. If there is new firmware, it will ask you to update. The you just need to follow the instruction.
P/S: I dont have samsung device , i paired the Gear S with my Pantech VEGA A-850K

Hello Ace users.
Just figured I would post this in case anyone else out there was thinking about the 2.3.6 update for Nordic counties. I just spent the morning Flashing it VIA Odin, because I never made a Factory back-up before flashing CM7 some time ago, and I am quite happy with it.
Okay, here's the procedure on how to manually upgrade the Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 to Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread using the stock ROM S5830XXKPP in 11 simple steps. So you know Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread is not yet available for all Galaxy Ace users, except in Russia. Don’t be scared when the phone boots in Russian, you can change that in the locale and text option under settings.
Here’s what you need:
Download the stock ROM S5830XXKPP, I got mine from SamMobile.com. You have to create a free account and navigate a few confusing pages but it can be found. You’ll find it at the bottom of the ROM list for the Ace; it’s the one for Nordic countries.
Grab the ODIN Multi Downloader v4.38 and OPS File: Cooper_v1.0.ops
To Flash with Odin:
- For Windows PC’s with USB driver / Kies installed.
- A USB cable for your phone
- Make a back-up copy of all important files stored on your phone, you are going to lose everything otherwise
Ready to start?
1. Download the S5830XXKPP ROM and extract it to your desktop. The password is “samfirmware.com”. When extracted you’ll see: “S5830XXKPP_S5830XXKPP_S5830SERKPP_HOME.tar.md5” this is what you need.
2. Extract and run Odin v4.38 on your desktop.
3. On ODIN click the OPS button and select the Cooper_v1.0.ops file on it.
4. Hit the One package checkbox option
5. Select and load the S5830XXKPP_S5830XXKPP_S5830SERKPP_HOME.tar.md5 in the One package field
6. Set the Samsung Galaxy Ace in Download Mode:
Turn the OFF the phone then press Volume Down+Power+ Middle buttons simultaneously and the phone will then reboot into download mode. Press the volume up button to begin download mode.
7. Connect the phone to PC and you’ll see on ODIN a window with “COM Port” turn to yellow. It means connected and ready.
8. Begin the flashing by hitting the 'Start' button.
9. It will take 5 minutes to complete and the word "PASS" will display once it finishes.
10. Unplug the phone from the PC, and go into Recovery Mode by pressing Home + Power Button, then select Wipe Data / Factory Reset. Reboot Phone.
11. Last, change the default Russian language to your Region by going to settings and then locate the locale and text icon, then pick your native language.

seems like you are toooooooooo late to do something with the phone
i bet 95% of peoples know this thing and also this firmware was announced by sampro ages ago
I just know there was a couple of Noobs around wanting to go back to Samsung Firmware but no idea how... This is for them, not the 95% who already know how.
When I read the topic subject, I thinked that a new special method is needed for flashing the S5830XXKPP ROM.
I think 95% of galaxy.ace.xda.users have already known this, thanks

Notify the sender of the URL
Or, continue at your own risk to: http://download.clockworkmod.com/drivers/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe[/COLOR]
If you get no warnings, much better. Let's proceed.
The Preparation : Before you start, make sure that . . .1) You have a PC / Laptop running Windows Platform
2) Samsung USB Driver for Mobile Phones (click to DL from clockworkmod.com) is installed
3) Phone battery power is at least 70%. That's good enough to not run out of power during this whole process.
4) Its USB Debugging is enabled (Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging)
5) You have a USB Cable to establish a connection between the phone & your computer
6) You have the files needed. Keep three files in one folder.
- twrp_2.8_material - 9185 KB (click to DL directly from its dev's (Gody) MediaFire drive)
- Odin3-v3.09.zip - 972 KB (click to DL from sammobile.com's MEGA shared cloud storage) This software runs only on Windows platform.
- SuperSU_v1.94.zip - 1,703 KB (click to DL direclty from chainfire website)7) A copy of that flashable zip file "SuperSU" must be saved in your phone's memory, internal or external .
1st Step : Flashing TWRP Recovery Via OdinWhat is Recovery? | The Two Android Recovery Agents (CWM & TWRP)
Here, we will use TWRP Recovery. We will install it on the device using the Odin software.
Required: your phone, Windows PC, USB cable, Odin, and TWRP (.tar file)
1) Boot phone to "Odin Mode, a.k.a. Download Mode" by pressing the buttons at the same time: Volume Down, Power, & Home. When the device vibrates, immediately release the Power button while still pressing the other two until the Download Mode's warning screen appears.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Press the "Volume Up" button to continue to Odin Mode
3) In your computer, using WinRar or 7-zip, extract the Odin zip file, then run Odin3 v3.09.exe as Administrator
4) Connect your phone to your PC via USB. It should say "Added" on Odin.
5) On Odin, click the "AP" button, find and select the "twrp_2.8_material.tar"
6) Click "Start" to proceed in flashing the TWRP Recovery. *This takes about a minute.
7) It's partially finished when it says RESET! with these three lines in the message box.
RQT_CLOSE !!
RES OK !!
Removed!!
Then, phone will reboot automatically to OS.
8) Sometimes it takes a few more seconds after the phone has rebooted for you to be able to completely close Odin. Just wait for Odin to change its status from RESET! to PASS! and say All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0), as shown in the picture below.
Then, you may click Exit and disconnect cable.
TWRP 2.8.5.0 Recovery is now installed.
And this is how to boot to "Recovery Mode". Press the buttons at the same time: Volume Up, Power, & Home. When the device vibrates, immediately release the Power button while still pressing the other two until the SAMSUNG boot-screen appears. See photo instructions below.
By the way, see the pictures below for the difference between the Galaxy Win's stock recovery and TWRP's recovery.
Important : NANDroid Backup
At this point, with TWRP Recovery installed, you can now create a NANDroid backup. It's a backup of literally everything in your phone - System, Cache, Data, EFS, and Boot. It is considered to be the top priority of things to do before messing with your phone i.e. flashing ROMs, kernels, or apps. After you create a backup, the backup file would be located in "sdcard0/TWRP/BACKUPS/" for internally saved backup, and "extSdCard/TWRP/BACKUPS/" if it's saved to the external memory. This file can also be transferred to a different storage, say a hard-disk, if you need to have more space on your phone for something else. You may skip to the actual rooting part. But, in case you do want to create a backup just follow the simple steps below. 1) Boot phone to Recovery Mode
2) Select Backup
3) This part lets you name the backup file with whatever name you want, choose whether to save it internally or externally, and pick which stuff you'd like to backup. And when you're ready, swipe to backup.
*This may take 5-10 minutes depending on how big your whole current installation is.
4) Once done, you may proceed with the 2nd part of this rooting guide.
2nd & Final Step: Flashing SuperSUSuperSU allows for advanced management of Superuser access rights for all the apps on your device that need root.
Required: your phone, and SuperSU (.zip file)
1) Boot phone to Recovery Mode
2) Select Install
2) Locate the zip file SuperSU
3) Go ahead and swipe to install SuperSU *This takes just 5-10 seconds.
4) Reboot System
You now have root access. Good luck!

Hey mate, thanks a lot! Your guide is very clean and objective. Links shown properly. You did a good job!
But I'm still facing a problem on my I-8552B. Whichever Recovery I try to flash, I keep getting a black screen.
I tried the one you posted and the 6.0.3.7 version, but nothing different. :/
Thanks! I'm as glad that this guide is helpful to us who need it.
When does this black screen appear?
What have you done so far?

The phone is working properly, I can boot into the system normally. But after I flash any custom recovery via Odin (all I tried, so far), and boot into recovery (phone off, VOL +, Home and PWR boot), I get a black screen.
I've read that people are getting this issue on devices bought after July/14...
Please refer to this thread for more ideas.

Is it??
You do not need root to do this. This will wipe your device, back it up if you care. When I truly thought about it, I really didn't give a hoot about a backup. Contacts are stored on my SIM.
This is a guide to help you get from 5.1.1 on a g900t to 4.4 so you can get your root on. It is important to note that you have to downgrade and it is even more important to note that you can brick your device and you assume all responsibility for actions you take.
(If you truly like 5.1.1 and custom kernels, be sure to stop here and go to this post instead -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=61877146 )
I wanted to root my S5 and had no idea how to do that. Well duh, you pull up youtube and look for the guy with the most trusting voice, good instructions, and more likes than dislikes and root your 5.1.1 right? Nah, that bricked my phone. Then I actually had to learn about my device, others like it and spent a good 4 hours meticulously fixing my device.
Now, installing root will trigger knox but I believe downgrading to 4.4 from 5.1.1 may not, but I cannot be 100% sure since I already triggered knox thanks to Mr Youtube bricking my phone.
Once you are on 4.4 you can root your phone using a ton of guides all over the place. For someone new to rooting a samsung device your google searches may be something like "S5 root" and eventually evolve to "S5 root g900t lollipop 5.1.1" and you will get nothing, spam or people asking the same thing with others saying "You can't do that". I didn't care about 5.1.1, I hated it in fact, so these comments saying "no you can't" kinda pissed me off.
Items you will need that I will link you to ->
Odin
Android 4.4 image
Optional: Android 5.1.1 image (in case things get scary and you want to revert)
Let's Start ::
1. Download odin from your favorite source (Sorry, there seems to be too many weird links on google for this, but here is a forum post on this website -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451 ) and I am not comfortable hosting it.
2. Download Android 4.4 image, sources for this ->
Sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900T/
Alternative: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900T
These sites are so damn slow. I got the image uploading to Mega atm and will update this post with a Mega link when they finish.
Optional: Download Android 5.1.1 image (ending in FOG6) so you can revert if needed, sources for this ->
Sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900T/
Alternative: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900T
These sites are so damn slow. I got the image uploading to Mega atm and will update this post with a Mega link when they finish.
3. Grab your phone and turn it off.
4. Hold in the Volume Down button, the Home button and then hold down the Power button until you see a message telling you that you are going to break your phone and void your warranty. Confirm you wish to break all the things by pressing the Volume Up button.
5. Plug in your phone to your computer and open up Odin. In Odin you will see a bunch of blank boxes and hopefully one of them on the ID:COM section is blue which indicates your device is plugged in. If you see the blue box showing connected, you can continue.
6. Click Options and make sure the only 2 boxes checked are Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time. In the section to the right (Files [Downloaded]), check the second checkbox next to "AP". Click the text labeled "AP" and select the 4.4 android image you downloaded already. The program may sort of freeze up but just wait for a few seconds and let it clear up.
(You should read the rest of these steps entirely before continuing to follow).
7. Click the start button at the bottom and wait for it to finish. You want to catch the next reboot fast so you can enter into recovery otherwise you have a sweet softbrick boot loop. If so it is no big deal, yank out the battery because you need to clear some cache and factory reset.
8. When the reboot is coming back up, quickly hold in Volume Up, Home Button and Power Button to get into androids default recovery. Once you see blue letters at the top left "Recovery Booting" you can let go of the button combination.

9. Go down to the option to "wipe cache partition" using the volume keys and use the power button to select it.
10. Go down to the selection "wipe data/factory reset" using the volume keys and use the power button to select it..
11. Check the section at the top "reboot system now" using the volume keys and use the power button to select it.
12. Give it a little bit of time (2 minutes max) to get passed the tmobile carrier screen and you should see the new device setup screen. YAY you downgraded to 4.4 and now all those wonderful guides on rooting your S5 become relevant to you at last!
If you get nervous and want to chop back to 5.1.1 follow the exact same instructions but select the 5.1.1 android image instead of the 4.4 one.
I hope this helps someone new to this that is on 5.1.1 and seeing a lack of resources on getting to root and not caring about 5.1.1 in general. I actually think you can get all the features of 5.1.1 through custom roms once you get back to 4.4.
If I am missing something, left something out or mistyped something please let me know.
Rooting the S5 is really up to you. Some people swear by it, but if I can be honest, once I had it done on my phone I was severely disappointed (and felt regret) in the lackluster apps and things you can do. The best reason to root for me was to control permissions (which is a paranoia game you start to play with your apps) and freeze system apps that came with my device. Freezing the silly ass software update that kept bugging me to update was fantastic as well as the oogle of google apps I will never ever use like Google Music and TV, My Magazine, etc.

That is a pretty cool article, but seems really geared towards people who already know what to do a little bit though right? This definitely did not pop up on any google search, but if it did at the time when I knew zero about rooting, I would have clicked away if I can be honest. Sorry man.
Not really. Just about an hour quicker and not losing everything.

No, Don't do that! this can be risky! yours is Metropcs version of Samsung Galaxy Core Prime.
My Zipped file contains Stock ROM OS "G360TUVU1APG2" and it is for T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. (just beside the Recovery image, which is compatable with both T-Mobile and Metropcs)
Be sure to match both the Baseband code of your Phone and the Stock file.
Go to About Phone and search for your exactly baseband code number, it's better to download from the official sites.

That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure before doing something stupid and brick in my phone as this is my daily driver. I appreciate your help and all the hard work you and all the other devs put in to give the android community the know how and ability to run their devices the way they were meant to be ran. Keep up the hard work. I'm sure I speak for more than myself when I say that your work and dedication is greatly appreciated.

Once the CM13 rom-slot has finished flashing, Reboot, System. This may take 5 minutes, if it takes longer then 15 mins its probably in a boot loop and needs to be wiped and reflashed. If the Rom flashed successfully you will be greeted with CM13 Welcome screen.
