Gear S brick after flash android wear? - Samsung Gear S

After finish flash Android wear from odin with "Nand erase all". My gear S keep rebootting,and got message "No OS installed" and get this errors:
E:UnMount: Unable to find partition for path '/system
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/cache
Kernel does not have support for reading Selinux context
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/cache
Running boot script
Finishing Running boot script
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/cache
I dowloaded stock firmware from samsung-firmware.org (my gear is SK telecom version) and flash into my Gear S. After that I Flashed sysdata.tar (created before update to android wear) into Gear S. But when I power Gear S on, SK telecom symbol appear for about 10 s than the Screen turned Black. I can't do anything. When i open Samsung Gear manager on my phone, Gear manager can see the Gear S and try to connect with it. Also Adroid wear also see the Gear S and ask me the Pin (which show on Gear S) to pair but Gear S's Screen is black so i don't see anything.
What happened with my gear? Please help me. Thank you. Maybe there are 2 OS running on my Gear S???

Hi, where did you follow the steps to flash you gear S?
I'm about to change from tizen to android wear...
how did it all go?
did you finally solve this problem?
Would be grateful for an update..
Edit: i flashed using Heimdall. Works flawlesslly apart from known bugs.
Anyone know if it's the same order to flash Tizen back through Heimdall?

[Q] galaxy player 5.0 yp-g70 usa stock kernel

hello every one,
i flashed a international galaxy player 5.0 kernel in my galaxy player 5.0 usa version, and now my competitive buttons / touch sensitive buttons doesn't work. can any one please give a link to download the galaxy player 5.0 usa version stock kernel.
or any other way that i can fix the issue.
please help ,
If you have a stock firmware you can unpack zImage and then tar it. Then, flash it with odin.
You can now use the Entropy512's kernel (just released, search on development section). Is for US version.
I'm fairly certain someone posted a stock firmware dump somewhere.
I'd psot one, but my system image was cluttered heavily by zergRush insisting on installing Busybox in addition to rooting. grrr...
Heeelllppp meee

I'm in the same state as you but unbrickable resurrector is the only thing that gets the screen active. I did have a handy dual boot of Linux Mint and XP to go back and forth with the software tools. Perhaps you chose the wrong option in unbrickable. It's the choice that is marked "player" and says 111 instead of 110. Sometimes you have to disconnect and reconnect the player so you don't get the fail message but it works nearly every time for me. The graphic wraps around the edge of the screen but works fine for Odin to see it. I just can't get anything dropped onto the device from Odin to work. The process succeeds but I still end up with a black brick.
Lots of info to search through, just take your time. I figure I now have to learn how to access the device from a command line to see of the partition tables are screwed and figure out how to fix that. The various PIT files and bootloaders are not doing the trick. Whether I've applied the right bootloader or not either I'm not sure of.
Unbrickable is a great tool to start with. After that I'm still learning though I know my device is going to work eventually and at least I don't have to open it and solder some pins.
Update: I got my WinXP in VirtualBox running on Linux Mint working nice to streamline the testing vs. the constant dual booting. It's worked very well. Flashing multiple files wasn't working.
-I used the Unbrickable Resurrector to get my International Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 into download mode. I got the device from Woot.com, it has the Korean country code TTT sans the hdmi or tv antenna. Physical home button so the international roms should work.
-I flashed the bootloader file by itself which was provided by AdamOutler. This brought back the Samsung logo to the screen and the device no longer communicated with Resurrector. That was fine because now I can get it into download mode with the vol down, home button combo.
-Now I believe it's on a bootloop state. I don't get anything other than the Samsung logo after trying several roms.
Update II: I realized since I had already put a 2.3.5 pit that I had to find a matching Gingerbread rom since I no longer had the original Froyo setup. I tried out the official Gingerbread release G70XXKPF and now my Android recovery boot is working again though it spits out a bunch of errors that it can't find certain things or files. Failure to mount /efs or /cache are the errors that I can see, the rest scroll past too fast. Looks like one more round should get it home.

[Q] Tablet S with R5A ROM Problem

Hi everyone,
I have a Sony Tablet S with Android Version 4.0.3 release 5a and I am having problems with the Android Software, the programs such as browser, games even android base applications keep crashing. The device is still under warranty and I sent it for repair however the service here requested around 100$ for software installation as it is not under warranty. This is too much for me so I decided to do it myself however. I have searched this forum and many more to find a solution however even I have tried every step described in forums several time I could not be able to reinstall latest ROM from SD Card. I really desperately need some help here as this device is purchased solely for my daughter who loves android games alot.
I really appreciate any help you may provide.
Thanks.

hello,
try a hard reset. hold VOL up + POWER and when you see the logo sony release the VOL up button. then choose a factory reset. do not have to install from sd card.
Already tried hard and soft reset. Doesn't work.
I will try to describe the problem in full detail. I have weird error messages like "Google Play Store stopped working" "browser stopped working" "clock stopped working" and such error messages and when I try to uninstall programs i can uninstall them however when the tablet restarts they are all there, I think machine resets it self. If i try to uninstall a program called "Ustream" the tablet immediately goes off, and restarts resetting it self again. Even the soft and hard reset can not solve the problem. I have tried to boot the device, it says it is booted (I have managed to run adb and flash tools) how ever when the tablet restarts it again resets it self having the exact same situation as before. I have downloaded the official R5A update from the Sony Website when ever i try to install update from SD, the machine stops saying the operation is aborted due to some error. There must be a way to reset this machine to what ever it was.

If you have adb, you can try to root tab and apply the backdoor patch.

I have already tried that. The adb, flasher and other tools that I have found in this site. All in one tool says it has succesfully rooted the device but whenever it boots it restores itself to a previous unknown backup with all the applications installed and I guess not rooted state. I have used the flasher yet it needs rooted device. I have tried to update the system from SD, it says the software is low version (5A). I can not do anything. There must be a solution for this.

After attempting root the tablet is rebooting into the other partition. (There are two system partitions). Can you try rooting again and on the last reboot boot into recovery and try to install R5a twice in a row without restarting from the recovery menu. Hopefully this will catch the system switch and install R5a on the other system

I think I have rooted the device asthere is a "device manager" in the security options. However adb programs fails to recognize the device. I have installed the driver several times, restarted the computer how ever it did not change. Last time I was able to see the device in the adb device list. But i do not know what I have done to achieve this as I have tired many options. Can you describe me how to do that step by setp?

After the update fail. Use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and post it here and I will see what is happening
The flashing operation fails as the system can not access to the specified directory. Whenever I run the flashing tool the command windows background turns to red and I see this error. ADB can list the device yet I can not flash it.
By the way I have to reinstall all the drivers everytime I connect the tablet to PC, if I remove the cable and re mount it adb fails to list the device.

from those powerpoint presentations i conclude that retail mode is for retailers that put the devices for display. its nothing more than configuring the gear fit to never turn off the screen.
Do you know if in this mode, the gear fit works exactly as in normal mode (with the only difference the screen always on) ??
I'll really like the possibility to keep the screen always on, but everything else the same...
I didn't test this Retailmode, but I suppose Gear Fit will work normally.
Not sure about the Gear Fit, but for Samsung phones retail mode resets the device every 30 mins (deletes everything/factory reset), for people won´t install any bloatware on it when used in stores. So watch out when trying it ...
I have problem, I connected Fit with S5, then I've tried to acctivate Retail Mode and when I enter this code *#11111# nothing happens, also last # does not appear.

Samsung Galaxy S Plus Problem

Hello,
I wanted to give my Friend an old Samsung Galaxy S+ for his birthday.
Because he is a big Cyanogenmod fan, I wanted to install it first (did it already with my S4 mini a few times, so i'm not a newbie).
1. I've installed TWRP Recovery
2. Thats it. It installed mostly correct, but the phone won't boot anymore in the normal OS. It always boots in TWRP Recovery.
I've read, that thats a common problem for TWRP Recovery on this device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24831012&postcount=1330).
So here is my Problem:
The phone doesn't get detected by my Windows 10 PC. Some sort of driver problems...
So I can't install AriesVE and the new Bootloader (see link above), because Odin doesn't detect the phone and Windows 10 says if connected "The device wasn't detected correctly" (if translated right, sorry, i'm german).
Could someone please help me? My Friends birthday is at 28.11, the device should work properly there...
