How to sideload .WGT files on your Gear S watch guide.

1. Step 1 - Enable USB Debugging on Gear S Device:

To be able to sideload .wgt files via data cable on your Gear S watch you have to enable USB debugging first by following the next steps:

– Go to Settings
– Scroll to “Gear info” tab
-- USB Debugging.
– Ignore the warrning message and click OK
- Done

2. Step

- Use the original charging cradle and original USB datacable to connect your Gear S watch via USB on your PC / Mac or whatever OS you have.
- Download the SDB tool and unzip it in easy to access folder on your hard drive (i recommend to be extracted in C:\SDB folder just to make your life easier )

Find the SDB tool HERE

3. Step
– Open command line (cmd on windows) and navigate to the SDB folder (in your case C:\SDB )
– On the console type : sdb devices
After typing the sdb device , your system will try to recognize the device connected via USB

Once connected , now you can side load any .wgt file with simple command line into the same CMD command line window by typing the following command:

type : sdb install xxx.wgt. (were the xxx is the exact name of the file , for your convenience you can rename your WGT file collection with simple words or letters just to make your life easier)

This should install the .wgt file on your connected device.

Disconnect the Gear S from your PC/MAC or whatever :) and have fun.
