I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 unrooted with a Samsung Neo smart watch. I used for 2 years but the other day I stopped receiving texts on my watch. Confused I rebooted watch, didn't help. I uninstalled a few things related to Samsung Gear on my phone and tried to reinstall but got the Installation Error -24 message. I'm not good with technology, but found the only ways to correct this to get the gear software loaded back on my phone is a factory reset, which is my worst nitemare or Root the phone, which I'm NOT comfortable with and try to find the offending file. Am I correct? This would mean buying a new phone to me if I was unable to find local help . Any ideas or real leads is greatly appreciated.

Good afternoon all,
I have recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 via kies to Android 4.3. I couldn't do the update over the air as it was rooted. I had to go through and root my phone again through Odin and again all that went fine.
However since doing this I have had to restore my device 2 times as it shuts down every now and then and I find I 'lose' some apps...mainly games, which I find annoying. It also wipes any saved text messages.
At first I thought it was only losing apps that I'd downloaded through other means (i.e. not Play) but it appears not. I still have the apk files stored on the phone and have tried to re-install them but I get a message of 'app not installed'
Can anyone tell me why this is the case? As I have previously said it has only been since updating to Android 4.3. Not sure if it is due to rooting my phone (i'm guessing not).
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Please use the red report button and ask a mod to move the post.
See multiple posts re OTA and root problems.
Suggest factory reset if that does not fix then flash stock 4.3 through Odin .
I know that I can't do OTA updates... My problem is that the phone will restart, without warning and when it reboots I have lost all my text messages and a few apps. Trying to reinstall the apk files gives me the error 'app not installed'
I have tried factory reset both through the recovery mode and the system settings, but nothing resolves it.
My phone is rooted and runs Android 4.3 which was updated through kies.
The apps it loses are games so that's not a major issue... It's all the text messages.
I have a very similar problem, phone always shuts down and restarts on it's own. A couple of times it has lost some apps but usually it just starts up again fine but it's very annoying. Sometimes it gets stuck in a boot loop too.
A Google search for random reboot or random shut down brings up a lot of results but no solution's, so it seems to be a common problem. It's not just the stock rom either as it still does it when rooted and running other roms.
Hi guys, i recently bought this phone as my iPhone is malfunctioning. I was pretty contented with the phone overall. However, one aspect of it really ticks me off which is the RAM. Apparently, there's a constant 100mb-0mb Ram available for usage. So i ended up going online and search on how to speed up the RAM. I found a link that says by having a Custom ROM downloaded, it would remove all the bloatware and such. After progressing with the patches and installations, i was quite happy with it! Until the part where i couldn't access the Google Maps,Google Play store and every single time an error will pop out saying 'Google play services has stopped working'. I had work today and i would definitely need to use my phone to get me around (Delivery rider) therefore, i decided to call my supervisor and told him i had some issues with my phone. Earlier this morning, i've tried rooting using Kingo Root/Root Genius but to no avail. Both stucked in the process of it. I've tried flashing some other Core Prime's model ROM hoping that it would work. But guess what, it didn't . Now i have my Core Prime stucked at Odin Mode saying 'could not do normal boot'.
Any fellow experts willing to help me on this?
P.S I got to know that my phone was from an import after trying the factory reset. It's from China Unicom.

Everytime i tried to software update, it say 'The phone has been modified bla bla bla'

Do you have Cricket carrier by chance? I'm trying to find a stock or mod ROM for my sm-g360az ( Cricket Galaxy core prime) and the closest thing in official updates I could find is the sm-g3606 CHU region.. So I know my phone was made in China but I'm curious if that stock would work.
Does anyone know what this error code is? And or if the watch and phone are compatible? I really love my watch, and would hate to part with it. I've installed, uninstalled, reset, cleared and everything. My phone sees the watch, resets the watch, then after the factory reset, error code 5
I was getting that on my Note-5, but only after flashing a custom ROM.......................went back to a stock version of the ROM and Gear Manager working again.........it was something with the ROM.
Hi! I recently rooted my tablet and removed some system apps/bloatware. Since doing so I get two reoccurring messages,
1.) Unfortunately Google Play services has stopped
2.) Unfortunately, the process com. google. process. gapps has stopped.
Also, when I try to set up any Google services, I get a message saying " Couldn't sign in there was a problem communicating with Google services try again later",
regardless how many times I try this message just repeats and doesn't sign me into anything.
I've tried to factory reset and everything I can think of, all with no luck. I'm guessing the firmware and gapps need to be re-installed, but I'm not sure. When I try to download anything it fails. I don't have a computer, so I'm hoping to be able to apply the fix to the tablet itself. I have also tried to unroot, but that hasn't made much difference . Again my model # SM T530NU, running 4.4.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Hi, this has probably been asked loads of times, but I am totally stumped.
I also realise that this is quite an old Gear device, but any help appreciated
All I want to do is to be able to have the notifications from my Gear S (curved display one) on my Huawei P30. I have an old S6 that I am currently paired to.
I have read numerous threads on this that seem to say: get Root, delete certain bluetooth folder, connect to Huawei phone and as long as the Samsung phone and Huawei phone are on the same WIFI network, this should work.
Every post I see in regards to Rooting, seem to show that I have to reflash the firmware, but in reality, does that actually do anything?
All I want to do is root it. Is there an easy way to do this?
I have used Odin before and I just flashed it with the last firmware update from SamMobile, but it doesn't seem to have done anything that would allow me to Root.
Thanks in advance for any help
Mark
