I just got this Samsung Gear S as a present and its all in Chinese. I tried doing everything but nowehere it lets me go to settings so I can change the language. at power up it shows Sky Telecom logo so probably locked or something. Never used any such device before so no idea! Posting the screenshots. Please help!
Thanks.
That is not Chinese. Gear S is not made in China.
That device should be an international version or Korean Telecom which is SKT, or KT.
That's why the default language is currently Korean.
Thanks..but is there anyway to get around it change the language?
It should change the language if you pair it to the phone. Otherwise you can maybe flash a different fw through Odin. Just make sure you have the model number right. I changed mine from German to danish this way.

I am hoping for a little help finding the correct file to flash the Gear S with.
I also have a watch which came from Ebay which has turned out to be a SM-R750S (Korean Telecom which is SKT) I would like to put the UK firmware on it.
Currently the firmware is - R750XXU2BOG2 - this is from the watches info
I have tried - 2.2.1.4 R750XXU1BOC1_R750OXA1BOC1_BTU
- 2.2.1.3 R750XXU1BNJA_R750OXA1BNJA_BTU
both result in an error " Sw Rev Check failed fused 2 > binary 1"
This is from the Sammobile site and appears to be what is currently on the phone. R750XXU2BOG2_R750OKA2BOG2_SKC
any help would be great
I would like to know (with a link if possible) which Firmware I can use.
I am assuming this error maybe related to boot loader versions and such ??

Hello Forum ,
I have a bell i9100m phone however it comes with English/French/Koearn only, how to add another language to the stock ROM (currently it's 4. 0.3) ? or I have flash it to a different ROM ? thanks for your help .
Try "MoreLocale 2" or "Set Locale and Language" from Google Play.
Hi!
you can try: Settings - Language and keyboard - Android Keyboard - Input Languages (select as many as you want)
This link might also help you out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/963340/how-to-add-an-extra-language-input-to-android]
if everything above does not work, install MoreLocal 2
hope this helps!
cheers
thanks guys/gals for the reply , morelocale2 kind of worked however the translation seems not complete, anyway, I guess this is the only way to add menu language without flashing another ROM .
BTW, is it possible to flash another official ROM for different area to this phone ? I have i9100m from bell Canada, if I'd like flash Samsung SII RoM for hongkong will that cause any issue ?
Idk about i9100m, but if you were on international version, you can flash right away
But relatively, you can see your phone here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193695
Hope this helps!
Cheers

Hi all,
As you can see here, there is unfortunately no ICS stock on sammobile.com for the french version.
However, there is one for UK version (and others). Obviously those versions have multiple languages, including mine.
So do you know why there are localized versions ? Are they mandatory ? (or could i simply take one from a neighboor country?)
Thanks all
You can surely flash UK version or Italian as well and when Installing choose Your own language.
I'm from Finland and my rom is originally Italian, no problems with language issue.

Try samsung-updates com
samsung-updates com has many Stock ROMS from various countries, which you can filter by device type. Unfortunately, I have been unable to download any from there since yesterday, as the download fails after a couple of hours.
If you can select the language you want using any country's ROM then I guess the country code just affects Samsungs OTA rollouts and which extra Apps come pre-installed and how they are configured.
Edit: I just installed the USA 4.04 Rom (XAB) on my Canadian (XAC) Tab. Since my Samsung account is registered to a Canadian Tab, Samsung Apps gives me an error if I try to sign in there, but otherwise it works. I'll put the XAC Rom on when I finally manage to download it.

Hello I just bought my new Gear S here in Indonesia cuz its pretty cheap here round about 260$
Now I have red in many boards that there are a lot of updates going on in many different countries.
I am from Germany... is it possible to root or I don't know anyting else so that I can update my gear normal with the gear manager when I am in Germany again or do I have to firmware or update it manually every time? I have saw that there is already a new tizen version out 2.2.1.4 where whatsapp answers from the gear is possible...
Thanks anyway for helping me.
My gear Softwareversion is: R750XXU1BNJC

Yap just SM-R750
in GEAR MANAGER you can see the variant and the software of the GEAR device. than go ahead with ODIN and flash the German version. but read 2-3 times the guide...to be sure you have everything you need.
So i can take directly the newest german version...
yeas. through ODIN flash the latest German version from sammobile

Dear bogdan_wrc, i have the Gear S T-Mobile, SM-R750T, could i also update it with Vietnamese firmware? Cause although i have the unlock code from T-Mobile, and unlock it successfully, but the Gear S don't recognize any Vietnam Carrier SIM card. I heard that is because the GSM bands. T-mobile support 850/1900, while all VN Carriers are 900/1800. (i post about my issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gea...llowed-mm6-t3028461/post58799921#post58799921)
I bought Gear fit off ebay and it happens to be international edition. The entire system is in Japanese.
I have a OnePlus one and Nexus 5. When I tried installing Openfit, the geat fit pairs and connects but it is still in Japanese.
I tried updating the software by booting the device into download mode and flashing it with the newest firmware from samsung-updates.com but the system is still in Japanese!
When I try pairing the device to a "Samsung" device then it works just fine, it tends to adopt the language of the phone. But I don't have a Samsung device for me to use.
How can I completely erase the Japanese firmware on it and flash it with a clean US version? Is there a way to install a custom firmware or anything like that?
Thank you for your help
Any luck yet?
I'm in the same boat as you, just wondering if you've made any discoveries yet?
Couldn't find any solution. The only possible way is to pair it with a Samsung:/

There has to be a way to flash it directly, how else did Samsung get the firmware on? The firmware should be on their opensource release center.

Hi all,
Just acquired a original GearFit. Unfortunately it came from Germany and is in German!
I have a HTC M8 and using OpenFit, but it is still in German. I connected to a friend's Samsung Note 4 and it all changed to English, which was great, but when I disconnected Bluetooth, it changed back to German!!
Can I flash a new UK system?
If so which one?
Please help :crying:
Thanks
Try resetting it, start from clock>settings(the gear icon), scroll to the last page and select the last icon, then select the tick and wait. If that doesn't work, sync it with OpenFit so you can have it synced to you or contact samsung. Worst case senario, flash an English firmware on using Odin, you can find out how to use it by searching for help online. Hope this helps!
Thanks Joshua
Done that - reset it and also linked to OpenFit - which works fine....just the damn German language!
Think as you say to flash a UK Firmware - but which one?
I have same problebs, but with china launguage..
Somebody change launguage?
