How To Root Samsung Galaxy Gear

Recently we have got to root the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and we haven't thought that a developers are working to get into root access on a smart watch. Well we have a Samsung Galaxy Gear with great camera, screen, sound etc, but it cant be only smart watch to wear we should also have to do some fun with this small device. Here we will root this device just get concentrated.

Before You Begin

1. You do need access to a Galaxy Gear approved device (i.e. a Galaxy Note 3). Either you must have one, or you must be sneaky enough to go into a Best Buy and use one of theirs really quickly.

Bypass Activation Screen on Galaxy Gear

We need to access the device’s settings screen but are not able to do that without connecting a device to it first. This means you need a device that is currently compatible with the Gear (at least for a few minutes) to pair with it first then you can finish the rest of the procedure with any device. If you don’t have access to one of these devices, it might be possible to go to a Best Buy store with your Galaxy Gear and simply pair to one of the demo Galaxy Note 3′s in there then walk out once it’s done, but the staff at the store might punch you in the face for that. Maybe.

1. Go to Settings and enable NFC on the Galaxy Gear approved phone (i.e. Galaxy Note 3).

2. Hold the Galaxy Gear Charging Dock to the back of the Galaxy Gear approved phone and wait for it to install Gear Manager.

3. Follow the prompts on the Gear approved phone to connect to the Gear until the Gear shows the time on it indicating it is past the activation process.

Setting Up The Galaxy Gear

We need to enable USB Debugging & Setting Up the drivers for connecting the Gear.

1. Go to Settings > Gear Info > Enable USB Debugging on the Galaxy Gear.

2. Download the Samsung USB Drivers to your Desktop.

3. Right-click the .zip file you downloaded and click extract all.

4. Double-click the .exe file inside to install the drivers.

5. Plug in the Galaxy Gear via USB by putting it in it’s charging dock and plugging in a USB cable from it to the computer. Let the drivers install.

Rooting

After installing enabling USB Debugging and installing the ADB drivers, we can connect to it via USB from our computer and gain root access.

1. Download Cydia Impactor and save it to your Desktop.

2. Right-click the .zip file and click Extract All.

3. Double-click the Impactor .exe file inside the newly extracted folder.

4. When it opens, it should show # drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su in the field. If it does, click Start. If it doesn’t, put it in there manually, then click Start.

5. When it pops an error about allowing the connection, click Always allow and click OK on your Galaxy Gear.

6. Close the error and click Start again. This time it should proceed with the process.

7. Download SuperSU apk and save it to your Desktop.

8. Download Wondershare Mobile Go (the Free Trial will work just fine), save it to your Desktop, and double-click the .exe file to install it.

9. Open Wondershare on your computer.

10. Once it opens, click on Google Play Apps.

11. Search for and install SuperSU (free version by Chainfire).

12. Open SuperSU on the Galaxy Gear by swiping over to Apps from the homescreen then swiping through that to find SuperSU and tapping it.

13. When prompted to update the SU Binary, tap yes.
