You have to install the Here Maps app on your phone.
Hi, thank you. I installed the here beta app on the phone, but I cannot see any indication of the app on the watch, or how to install it. I think I may be being stupid but I have spent hours trying!
It wont work. Read the thread i left above and try to root it and install a rom acorded to your phone region or wait for samsung to update samgung gear apps.
That is not the problem I am having. I can install apps without any problem. The navigation app is as far as I can tell preinstalled, but not on my device. It is not in the app store, or if it is, I cannot find it.
For anyone finding this, I fixed my problem by flashing the watch with the Samsung UK ROM using ODIN and now everything works perfectly.

Hi I just flashed the latest BTU rom over my Korean watch but still haven't got the navigation app, I have amap or something. ....any ideas?
Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk
Okay I got it working by performing factory reset of the gear s after I had installed the BTU rom. Loving the watch so far, much faster than I expected it to be after reading the othe r user reviews.

How to change rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/help/how-to-change-rom-t2945836
I have the Korean version too but could not flash the BTU ROM. I used Odin 3.09 but it FAILED half way bricking my Gear. I tried other version but no cure. In the end I had to bring it back to Samsung service to have them restored. Now its back to normal.
Wonder what went wrong. The only unusual thing I did was to perform all the flashing on simulated Windows 7 running on a Macbook. But others have done that too without any problem.
Did you guys have to root the Gear S first before flashing it with the new ROM?
Thanks

Thanks to 'cascader' I have used a program to extract the Stock ROM for our Three UK Galaxy Aces. Thanks again 'cascader'!
The zip file contains:
Cooper_v1.0.ops - Partition table etc. for the Ace ONLY
SS5570_Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.38.exe - Odin 4.38 - To flash the firmware
S5830XWKT5_S5830H3GKT3_S5830NEKT2_HOME.tar.md5 - The firmware
SS_DL.dll - This file is used ONLY by Kies so is un-needed
This is a ONEPACKAGE file meaning you only need the cooper.ops file and the firmware to flash. If you do not know what you are doing - http://lmgtfy.com/?q=galaxy+ace+odin+onepackage+flash or http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html

will i need to convert filesystem back from ext 4 or will flashing do this?
my phone was on O2 but after failed attempts at finding the firmware for it, i just stuck an unbranded stock from asia on there...works wonders
It has to be flashed by ODIN @PJ147 Use the included files for ODIN and the instructions from either link
@King Kaze - I was using UK XEU but it was only 2.3.3, This is 2.3.6 and includes Three's network tweaks which makes my 2G roaming a bit better, but completely useless still. I have to wait 2 minutes for 0.facebook.com to load on Opera! If I use Opera on any other phone on 2G m.facebook.com loads quickly. I'm thinking it's Three restricting how fast things can download/tx-rx on 2G, Their websites load alright in seconds... I asked them about this and they denied that they restrict speeds on 2G which makes me laugh.
0.facebook should load faster than all the other facebook sites because it barely has anything
Yeah, It should but Three restrict my 2G speed so it loads really slowly :L

It should be /data/bootanimation.zip or something
Is this stock rom rooted? And if so, how do you go about unrooting it?
is better than DDKQ8?
@Swiftkilla - I don't know sorry, I regrettably got rid of the phone after I posted this so I didn't check
@kevo02 I don't recommend it for you. I see you're from Costa Rica and on 'ICE' - This rom is made by Three UK so I only recommend it on Three's phones. Sorry!
Note: I won't be checking this thread much, I don't really come on XDA and I sold my Galaxy Ace back in February I will still help though if you need anything
HI I tried doing everything like you said. It wont register on 3 network and when u dial it says mobile network unavailable, any advice would be good

Are you able to tell me which firmware you used? I'm like you and cannot seem to find any o2 firmwares anywhere on the internet, even though they are listed on their own website!

I know this thread is a little dusty, but the contents still apply . When I go to start the flashing in odin, it comes up saying "Please connect phones!!".
I have the latest Sammy USB drivers at hand and I'll try it again once installed, but in the mean time, have anybody else faced a similar issue?

Hi,
A couple of months back I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 using Odin 1.85. My phone is a UK I19100, on Three. Today, I wanted to unroot it, so being a fool, I followed the guide at galaxys2root. com
I have downloaded firmware for a different carrier, and when starting my phone, I have error messages such as 'android.process.acore has stopped working' and I find that the 3 store has disappeared. Also, the phone no longer works, being extremely slow and unresponsive.
Please could someone guide me on how to get back to the latest official Three UK stock kernel and firmware for the SGS2.
Thanks guys, much appreciated, really stuck here.

You don't have to flash stock firmware to unroot your phone...
You can flash any country's firmware you want, as long as it's for your device. So I suggest flashing the latest I9100XWLPX firmware.

Thanks for the link and your quick reply. Will this work for a UK Three SGS2? I don't want to install something that will mess it up
I installed this firmware: I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar.md5 before, and it ruined the phone, the three store had gone, the phone unresponsive, whenever touching an icon it crashes and needs reboot etc.
Also, will this firmware put it back to original factory software, ie. stock everything ICS and unroot?
Sorry, kinda a newbie at this.

HI, I've been through all the forums before and fixed my tab from stock once before by loading ICS onto it, but now, about 6 months since I fixed it, it is again getting stuck just after the Samsung screen and wont load any more.
I have been through everything I did before to fix, but nothing is working this time. I am new to this but have a VERY general understanding on what to do.
I have flashed with various recoveries, and bootloaders, tried installing the ROMs again, but nothing works.

Hmm... Sounds slightly familiar with something I had a few days ago. I reflashed the stock 4.0.4 rom with Odin to fix it. Then did a full factory reset with the stock recovery. If you can still access your files when you connect your tab to your computer then this is the time to make a backup of everything you don't want to loose. I copied my nandroid backup back on my tab and it's just the way it was before I messed it up with a bad flash.

I'll give anything a try! I'm not worried about what's on the tab, I've already wiped it several times trying to fix it. So since I had the ics rom on it does that effect reflashing with a stock? I don't mind what rom I'm running just need it to work! Where do I download the stock rom? I have some pretty basic questions. .. So once I download the stock rom, I use Odin (any particular version?) and flash with the file in the pda section? Then reset to factory setting in the recovery mode. .. Is that how u did it?

Yes, download the stock rom from sammobile and flash it with Odin (I used 3.07) and (normally) you're good to go.

Sadly I don't know. I have the gt-p7510 WiFi so I can pretty much flash what I want. If you don't use your 3g on your tab I would be inclined to say yes, flash away. But if you do I would be cautious.

My phone is a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900T. A while back I decided to root it. After rooting it, I realized you cannot use Snapchat and I wanted to unroot it. Now, that I am trying to unroot it and return it back to stock; it won't. Yes it is unrooted and I know this because I installed Snapchat and used it last night. That is not the problem. The root is GONE. No matter what I do I cannot get it to flash a different firmware. I used a superuser, that was posted in here. It was like superuser something zip. It was not the old way, like when you flashed it through Odin. This one you actually unzipped it through the Team Win recovery. And the ROM that I used, Is the one that is on here now that I cannot get it off. It is a Marshmallow 6.0.1. I found posted in here too. If this helps, the emojis are not the flat minimalist looking ones, like Twitter uses. They are very round raised embossed kind of shiny and cartoon-ish looking. I have went to a post in here with all the firmwares listed, I went to samsung update and to sammobile. I have gotten different builds for my model of phone. And nothing this will not get off. I have tried to restore it back to stock and no it will not? Why can't I get this rom off my phone? :crying:Can anyone help me. I feel like I am crazy. But I can assure you this is the truth!
Please help and thanks!

So i bought a new Galaxy s9+ (G9650) and im experiencing some issues when slowly dragging my finger across the screen. It happens both in portrait mode and landscape. If i were to say... scroll across an image veeeery slowly or Play a game that requires fine accuracy (PUBG Mobile, its how i found the problem), the screen would start to jump around very slightly and repeatedly. If anyone has this problem or knows how to solve it please let me know. Thanks!

Sadly no luck, cache partition wiped but no problem is fixed. I am currently downloading 2 stock firmwares (i hope theyre de bloated) from dominican republic, one Orange and one from Claro.

Rather than doing what you're talking about - Why not just Factory Reset? Backup everything you need or want using Smart Switch or move to your external sd card / computer.

Im currently downloading the Firmware as i said, i read somewhere about Product code changing while installing a firmware, would that be a sign to the warranters that someone messed with the device and would refuse to service my device? also, i read about Brazilian Firmware being closest to BTU (Bloatware free Android) but sammobile's link is not working ?

Don't know if your device has an unlocked bootloader - If it doesn't - Then you can't really Flash anything that could void your warranty - Even if you don't change the CSC that shouldn't do anything to your warranty - it's Stock Samsung Firmware - Doesn't seem like you're too familiar with what you are trying to do - You might want to do some more reading & research ??

I know a thing or 2 (Just gotta catch up on some terms) ? Had an Honor 5 with Cyanogen and an S4 rooted and running AOSP. im just rying to be veeeeeeery cautious since i worked very hard for this phone and i dont wanna brick it or loose warranty. I really apreciate your input on this topic. I spoke with the previous phone owner to see if i could get a purchase reciept and bring it in for warranty repair, untill then i wont touch the phone. if all else fails, then im flashing De-bloated firmware and crying my phone to repair every time i use it ????. I have the worst of lucks ?
Is there a forum for newbies that explain all these terms? it would be nice for all them people trying to get the most out of their phones but arent very tech savvy.
