I’ve tried a few different ways but can not get it to work. I’m stuck at the certificate manager step. I’ve tried on Win10 and MacOS but both times when I create a certificate it does not connect to the samsung sign-in page and creates a certificate anyway, which I’m assuming is why fit2installer isn’t working?
When I check the version of Tizen Studio it says 5.5 even though I downloaded 5.1 from Index of /sdk/Installer/tizen-studio_5.1/
Hi, when I used Tizen Studio at first, no matter what web browser I opened beforehand, Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, the Tizen Studio popup would say “Please sign into your Samsung account in the system default browser that will be opened” but clicking OK would do nothing, it would never open the page in any browser, that’s the problem I had in my Oct 14 post.
On Oct 15 I uninstalled Tizen Studio, then changed the default browser to Chrome, then reinstalled Tizen Studio, then restarted the PC again, and when I opened Tizen Studio and tried to generate the certificate again, the page finally opened after I clicked OK, so one of those things resolved the problem for me.
These are the steps when I create new certificates:
https://docs.tizen.org/application/vstools/tools/certificate-manager/
It never asks me to sign in. I’ve never seen a pop-up
Oh, for me the popup that says “Please sign into your Samsung account” appeared in between step 4.1 and step 4.2 in the page you linked (so after I clicked “Next” on the Author Certificate dialog but before I could see the Distributor Certificate dialog). I’m sorry I don’t know what the problem is for you that prevents you from ever seeing that popup. What error do you see in Fit2Installer after you copy the files from the folder inside the SamsungCertificate folder to the other three locations, generate the .tpk file, and place it in the sign_me folder?
Which packages, if any, do you install with Tizen Studio?
Sorry, can’t remember the error I got with Fit2Installer, but the last time I tried Tizen Studio didn’t create the certificate files you refer to and the distribute and author files I found in other directories didn’t work.
The current Tizen Studio version is 5.5 that is the version you want.
You need to run the package manager
On the main SDK tab
you need to install the watch 4 you only need the 4.0 wearable but you can add other options but they take a long time to install.
On the Extension SDK tab
You need the Wearable Extension and The Certificate Extension
after they are installed in the package manager upper right corner is the gear icon for settings
expand the Extension SDK and
make sure the Wearable Extension and the Certificate Extension are on
Then you can generate the certificates. When you create the Author and Distributor certificate make sure they are SAMSUNG certificates and not Tizen those won’t work.
Hope this helps you.

I have succesfully created the certificates and placed them in the correct folder but im getting “signing fail - keystore password was incorrect” error. What am i doing wrong ? Password is 100% correct
According to the instructions that person just ignored the message and it did build the TPK.
He signed it using the fit2installer app and installed it on his watch with that too.
I need to run this on my watch if it doesn’t work for you let me know and I’ll see if I can write much simpler instructions

Thanks everyone, I got it working!
A few things I had problems with:
What I did to get it working:
Thanks again for everyone’s help. I was this close to buying an Apple Watch Ultra during Black Friday sales (and duty free) but I really like my GearWatch and stuck at it!
I notice during all this there was a new update released, 1GWE2. Is this going to clear my watchface or if sideloading still works after the update?
Thanks for your help man, it worked now for me. Your commitment is insane 
I tried everything, but the Galaxy Watch Studio does not recognize my distributor certificate i made with Tizen Studio. I copied it into the keystore-folder of Galaxy Watch Studio. The author cerificate works fine indeed. When i install the packages i need, Tizen Studio is on 5.5 thus i installed 5.1. Does this make any difference?
Has anybody please some advice?
if this is a Watch update it should not affect it. However pairing to a new Mobile does do a Factory reset.
If you are running Windows do not install the Galaxy Watch Studio v2.0.1 it has a terrible bug in it about generating an AOD every time you rebuild a watch face.

I don’t know if this would work but I right clicked on the blank distributor certificate creation page in galaxy watch studio then created a shortcut which when I run it takes me to my default browser and to the Samsung account verification page but that’s where I stopped because I don’t want to risk it, so I don’t know if I login there it would then trigger watch studio to go to the next page to create the certificate.
If anyone wants to try it to see if it works and if it does then this would be so much easier.
Thanks to anyone that does try it
It will let you login but then it stops going further.
If you want to try just back-up your current Users \Galaxy watch designer\keystore or wherever you stored them.

thanks for the prompt reply
Hi, I can’t find where to download fit2installer.
Please Help.
Thank you
Hello, I’m sorry for not posting the direct link. I was on the fence whether to post the direct link or the forum post link, but I decided to post the forum post link because it contains documentation and additional context for Fit2Installer. Here is the direct link and here is a mirror of the same link on a reputable server archive.org.
I have a question on creatin the distributor certificate. When i create a profile in certificate manager im asked for a passwort with lengt 8. When the profile is created i click on the edit button on the created distributor certificate the password is longer then the one i entered at the wizard…
When i enter the password from the author certificate it says the password is not correct. How do i get the password for Fit2Installer?
You have the wrong certificates, those are Tizen.org certificates. The encoding is different so the password you used won’t work.
I’m not sure about the Author certificate but you must have Samsung Distributor Certificate do I suggest you create both Samsung Author and Samsung (tizen) Distributor certificate.
When the profile is created i click on the edit button on the created distributor certificate the password is longer then the one i entered at the wizard…
That is pretty much a standard password hiding practice, so if someone was to look over your shoulder they won’t know how many characters there really are.
