Hi, can the restore tools work on LG G watch R?

Because our LG G Watch R bootloop,

the version OS 5.1.1
[LG G Watch] drewski_1:
Wrong forum. This is not Watch R.

See post 383 for a link / possible fix
[LG G Watch] KevinX8:
would like to see 6.0.1 system files soon
[LG G Watch] HG Golf:
Looking for this for the w100 LG G watch. getting the qhsusb_bulk on Win7. Any chance this can be resolved like with the SRK tool?
[LG G Watch] drewski_1:
this is for the W100 G-Watch . . . i'm not sure what the qhsusb_bulk means. sorry, not more helpful :(
[LG G Watch] HG Golf:
From what I understand, it means it's hardbricked. However, I can get to fastboot. I've tried booting from fastboot into recovery with no success. Tried using rootjunky's LG G watch tool to restore. Recognizes watch in fastboot, but doesn't do anything, no matter what I try. Looked at LG flash tool, but haven't read up on it enough to know what to do....or even if it will work.

I saw that there's an SRK tool to unbrick qhsusb_bulk for LG phones, but haven't found one for the G Watch. Thought devs might have an idea or two to try... :)
[LG G Watch] Ruggerxpunk:
Could someone please let me know if this statement is correct:

Since I installed the 6.0.1 OTA, I need to restore my device back to factory settings, then I can use this tool to unlock bootloader, root, and ultimately then install invisiblek kernel via adb?
[LG G Watch] drewski_1:
Since I installed the 6.0.1 OTA, I need to restore my device back to factory settings, then I can use this tool to unlock bootloader, root, and ultimately then install invisiblek kernel via adb?

Unlocking the bootloader will effectively do a Factory Reset (all user data deleted). I think there's a newer wear compatible SuperSU.zip . . . i just substituted it into this too, but had to modify the script.
[LG G Watch] Alphados0:
Awesome. Works all of my g watch w 100. Thx

Original W100 LG G-watch after reboot Offline Cloud.

Hey Experts!

First of all: can i use this tool to flash original stock rom on my Watch? Thats why i want to give it a try:

Just received yesterday the W100 (it is completely stock).

This night it start downloading an update and after the reboot it does not pair any more: i got the offline cloud on top of the screen (already unpaired, cleared the phone LG G4, tested on other 2 phone...no way!)

Looking into the info menù now the watch has a never seen model name, firmware name and so on (Attachments: Screen of Gwatch Info).

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot! :victory:
[LG G Watch] lfom:
MEC23G is Android 6.0.1 and every watch has an unique name for syncing, both are normal. Did you try to reset the watch itself (using watch's settings) then pair again?
[LG G Watch] Rulezbecca:
Thanks for the reply lfom. The answer is yes. i've already reset it 3, 4 (with the watch settings) or more times (even tried out with other smart phone). No way. :(
[LG G Watch] lfom:
After resetting both watch and Android Wear on phone, does the watch appear on phone for syncing? In other words, any phone sees the watch on Bluetooth? If not, even with both very close to each other then I would suspect the Bluetooth on watch has some problem, probably hardware. You can try to use the tool to reset watch's firmware anyway...
[LG G Watch] Rulezbecca:
As we suspect even with firmware reset nothing changed. Thanks for your Help: time to ask for RMA. ;)
[LG G Watch] hanschke:
any working mirror or anyone can do the future development?
[LG G Watch] jedisurfer:
is this currently the easiest way to root the device? Is the LG G Watch still good for $50? Or is it past it's prime?

any way for you to do a script like this to make the port to android wear 2.0 on the lg g watch w100 as seemless as restoring to stock like this does?

Hi! Could you reupload your utility to Mediafire? Your site is not loading.

Thanks
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
I could upload to G-drive, still needed?
[LG G Watch] thanai:
Can you please upload the tool?
[LG G Watch] brostar2017:
The tool is on the first page of this thread for download
[LG G Watch] wizzardsk:
This post was one and half years old :laugh:
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
That shouldn't matter...
[LG G Watch] ariapakei:
I tried downloading the V9.8 but when i extracted it, it keeps giving some error message (corrupt, etc.), so if anyone can upload the files on Google drive or elsewhere that would be awesome.
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
What are you trying to do? Please explain....

Then I may be able to help :cool:
[LG G Watch] ariapakei:
Well, apparently i just happened to have the courage to try wear 2.0 on my w100. And in order to do so, i need to unlock the bootloader.
[LG G Watch] Sam Nakamura:
Well then... It's like any other open device, get adb/fastboot going and do "fastboot oem unlock" if have allowed "OEM unlock" in developer options already...

I never used those unlock tools as doing it the old fashioned way :p manually is more fun & better control of the overall process, at least in my opinion!

I hope I didn't misunderstood, my head's already dizzy and hmm, yeah..
[LG G Watch] MuMind:
Linux gotchas

On Linux, I was getting errors like this:

./adblinux: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I found I needed to make sure I'd installed the libraries it needs as 32-bit. On Debian/Ubuntu, I did:

sudo apt install libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386

Another tip: try a different USB cable if the device isn't listed in "adb devices" or lsusb, since there are charging-only USB cables that won't let adb connect to it.
[LG G Watch] jeb192004:
Just got my G Watch a few days ago and tried to use this but it wont find my watch. tried to go into device manager to update drivers and it keeps telling me that it cannot find drivers for my device. tried the drivers from the link that someone posted earlier but it still doesnt work. i notice an update this morning and took it. think it has anything to do with the new update?
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
No it has nothing to do with the update you probably need to manually install the devices from device manager on your computer
[LG G Watch] jeb192004:
I got it. There was a Samsung device showing up in my list of devices but I have never had nor ever installed a Samsung device. Installed it and it's working now.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Awesome glad you got it going

[MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION] hey what can I do to help to make this also compatible with the Gear Live? :good:
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Well if you have a gear live then we need the bootloader unlocked. then if we have that we need a root method. next would be pull the boot, recovery, and system files for restore feature. then we would need a custom recovery. it not as easy as just making it compatible. and really I dont think it can be. all files have to me different per device i guess i could use some of the same commands. so there you go how many of these questions and statements can you answer? LOL.
[LG G Watch] JoeFCaputo113:
Boot loader unlock is same ADB command as LG G Watch

Root

TWRP Custom Recovery

System Dump

:)
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
well you have done your home work let me look into this LOL
[LG G Watch] JoeFCaputo113:
Hahaha yessir! Shoot me a PM or mention me in this thread if you need me to test/help you out!

Updated Tool to V5 with new twrp recovery in it
[LG G Watch] mgarcia2682:
If i use the option 6 on your tool will it take me back to stock like out of the box so i can update to the latest update.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
yes but after you use it make sure you also wipe data in recovery.
[LG G Watch] mgarcia2682:
Cool thank you very much for such a quick response
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
yep i am on xda right now working on other stuff so you got me at a good time :)
[LG G Watch] Froz3nsolid:

HELP! I'm all boot-loopy

From this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54629890&postcount=73

I'm appealing to your obvious knowledge on this topic.

Okay, so I've use the LG G Watch Tools to completely restore my watch to stock, unlocked. I wiped the watch completely, including system, data, and cache, all using the stock recovery.

Super, I'm all recovered, paired with my phone, and getting all my wonderful updates. Yay.

I'm getting the nag "System update downloaded. Swipe left to install." Yet every time I've tried it, I get stuck in a boot loop, and have to reset the watch completely using your tool.

I even tried flashing the Gohma ROM with the update base, but that bootloops, too - it's a pretty bootloop, btw - it does the swirly bubbles part of the boot sequence indefinitely. Incidentally, you need fairly low lighting in the room to see the original bootloop - it's not obvious, but you can see the light levels changing as the watch attempts to boot up.

So...I'm pretty much stuck. Google has offered an RMA for it, and I think I'll do that, because plain and simple, the update kills my watch.

Any ideas? I really hate to give up on the update like this.
[LG G Watch] bpdev:
I'm having the exact same issue... Can't get it to update, but I can get you back to the previous build. Use a pin to press and hold reset until the screen goes black, then continue to hold for 5 to 10 more secs. Next place your watch on the dock and then press the top left and bottom right corners repeatedly until you enter bootloader mode. Now you can restore using the tool.
[LG G Watch] tcristy:
Others in the OTA thread have discovered the reason it fails on devices that have been restored with this tool is the system partition is too small. See the OTA thread in G Watch General for details.
[LG G Watch] brakke97:
So I think that version 6 needs a fix :) A normally partitioned KMV78Y stock IMG :)
[LG G Watch] Froz3nsolid:
Agreed....Cause i cant use the fix that was posted in the OTA thread :(
[LG G Watch] brakke97:
Indeed me too :s
[LG G Watch] djuniah:
Why can't you guys use that fix? I was one of the ones who did it last night, if you need help, post in that tool's thread and i'll see what I can do to help.
[LG G Watch] Froz3nsolid:
ummm soo when try to flash through the LG Flash Tool i get an error " Device or Bin in Factory Mode". i download the Zip from the same place you did and i cant get it it work. but one thing that i do find ODD is on the Top right of the tool where it says "action" its suppose to say Upgrade DL" mine has nothing

i uninstalled and reinstalled the tool and even reboot my PC
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
OK guys I think I can fix this later today. I just need to change the way I pull the restore files and will hopefully have a new tool up soon. Along with a updated firmware version.
[LG G Watch] Froz3nsolid:
Thanks Bro

that sound awsome thanks for the hardwork
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
version 5.1 is up please try restoring with it then take the ota update. should fix the problem. please let me know i cant test my self right now. if you have any problems restore with the older tool.
[LG G Watch] Froz3nsolid:
Downloading .............testing.................

ill let u know if it works
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
thanks
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
try version 5.1 restore it should fix the ota update problem please let me know
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
try the new version 5.1 it should fix the ota update problem i think
[LG G Watch] Froz3nsolid:
Confirmed!!!

Its working. I restored using 5.1 tool. After i downloaded and installed the update

Thanks RJ for all your work and help

we should spread the word!

:laugh::victory:
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
awesome so glad this fixed it and i am really sorry about all the headaches. it was my mistake.
[LG G Watch] RunnersFoot:
Mine is working again now after the update. I haven't got the notification for the KMV78Y OTA again yet. Because it downloaded and failed will I have to manually update now. Or if I will the update trigger again eventually?
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Restart the watch a couple times it should download again.
[LG G Watch] djuniah:
You can do it manually as well. First, you'll need to go to the OTA thread and download the proper update file depending on which system you're running now.

For example, if you're on KMV78V grab this file:

http://android.clients.google.com/p...29242a1.signed-platina-KMV78Y-from-KMV78V.zip

Then use ADB to copy it to your device's /sdcard directory, then (replace FILENAME with the zip filename) "cat /sdcard/FILENAME > /cache/FILENAME" to put it into the cache directory.

Then run this series of commands (replace FILENAME with the zip filename):

echo 'boot-recovery ' > /cache/recovery/command

echo '--update_package=/cache/FILENAME.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command

echo '--wipe_cache' >> /cache/recovery/command

echo 'reboot' >> /cache/recovery/command

reboot recovery
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
LG G Watch Restore Tool V6 will be up in 30 minutes based on KMV78Y new ota then you can restore or update with it :)
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Version 6 is up :)
[LG G Watch] korkfabrik:
Your Tool kept crashing after recognizing the device in fastboot. Did not show up the menu.

It was working earlier so i tried to figure out why. I launched the batch file from an directory called: E:\(to.ex)

Maybe it did not like the brackets... moved it to root directory, now its working.

Thanks for the updated version. got also stuck in bootloop today, after receiving ota...
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Sorry about that I am trying my best to keep this updated. Also working on fixing my Linux and mac script.
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
I have it fixed if you want me to send it to ya. ;)
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
thanks buddy but can you test this one and it if still doesnt work then send yours.

linux script sh

thanks just trying to make sure i know how to fix it . i am not a linux user normal windows for me
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
line 111, need a space added between echo and ----

And for ease I suggest not using spaces in the file name for linux. Yes, I know tab complete should work, but it doesnt always. Also set it as executable 'chmod +x filename' and it seems you already ran dos2unix on it, which is good. Or add a echo reminding the user to chmod +x the script. Most linux users should know that, but yanno how it goes ;)

The rest looks to be the same changes I did, minus the few additions I seen you added.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
awesome thanks for testing it will make suggested changes and upload a new working version for linux and mac :)
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
np, I'll be nice and not repeat what all I grumbled the first time I opened it. lol

You have all the imgs updated to the Y update?
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Lol sorry. Yes all images are updated to 78Y I will release a version 6.1 soon with working Linux and mac. Thanks again for the help and I see you reboot app is on the play store now nice work :)
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
np and thx. :)
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Version 6.1 is up. added linux and mac back into the tool thanks to Playfulgod.
[LG G Watch] PraisethesunnyD:
HELP

I did everything. It worked fine up until I decided to download the UPDATE for it. When it updates it restarts, installs the update, then boots to an LG logo then a BLACK SCREEN that SOMETIMES flickers white. What am I supposed to do now ? This is urgent please help me
[LG G Watch] dude1981:
Hey just use restore tool has new update. Or download lg flash tool and restore using it.
[LG G Watch] PraisethesunnyD:
nah i just downloaded the 5.1 version of this tool fixer and it made it good
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
the OTA doesnt seem to like root. It fubared mine too, I just flashed the stock imgs in fastboot and then took the ota and then rerooted.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Yeah sorry about the headache. All Version of this tool Before 5.1 were causing the failed update. that is fixed from now on. glad you got it working again
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
[MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION] your linux script still needs to be chmod +x (makes it executable) and dos2unix (converts it from dos to unix format) to be able to run in linux. ;)
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
I told you I am Linux stupid. I made a note in it to run as chmod +x but I don't know how to change the .sh file to be that lol. It's a permission thing right?
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
yea its a permission. The linux adb & fastboot binaries need it set too, and prolly the osx binary also. You could use cygwin to set those or maybe a linux live cd/dvd. Big thing is dos2unix tho, any self respecting linux user should know how to chmod. ;) They can right click the file, properties and check Allow this file to run as a program to set it executable too. You might even be able to do that in windows, dont recall. lol
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
OK I think I can handle that I have a MV linux OS on my machine just really suck at using it
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Can you please test this one thanks http://rootjunkysdl.com/getdownload.php?file=LG G Watch/2-LG-G-Watch-Tool-for-Linux-and-OSX.sh
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
Still not executable, but is in unix format. ;)
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Dam it. I click the box on Ubuntu to make it executable. Can you do me a favor and make it executable then upload it somewhere.
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
it might be loosing its permissions uploading it by itself and me dl'ing it.

I cant set the perms on everything that needs it and upload the whole zip. ;)
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
That would be awesome thanks. so you are saying if I change the permissions then zip it up they should stay after uploading and downloading the files.
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
yea if you set the perms on linux and zip they should be retained when dl'ed and unzipped on linux.

heres the zip with everything set. I even edited command window to terminal in the sh. ;)

http://downloads.codefi.re/playfulgod/LG/G_Watch/LG G Watch Restore Tools.zip
[LG G Watch] maverick_hunter:
I second this. This would be really handy, I can't get it to work on my Mac and there don't seem to be any guides out there.

EDIT: Never mind, I got it working on my Windows virtual machine. It was a pain to get the drivers installed but I'm unlocked and running Gohma now. Thanks for your tool!
[LG G Watch] pbajai:
I get the message device unauthorized.

What to do???
[LG G Watch] HolzwurmMarkus:
Accept the prompt on the phone.

In the first Post of this thread is a video tutorial.
[LG G Watch] Haxzor11:
I have ????????? showing up when i ask for ADB Devices. I'm using Debian. The watch isn't getting any prompt for accepting ADB permissions. My rule.51 is the following: SUBSYSTEMS==”usb”, ATTRS{idVendor}==”1004″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”0c01″, MODE=”0666″

Please help!
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
try this for your udev for LG. ;)

[LG G Watch] loud88gt:
Drivers?

Thanks for the great tool! Makes unlocking and rooting easy for a newb like me.

I'm trying to install Minuum but I can't get my watch to show. When I type in adb devices it shows my s/n but says offline even though your tool says everything's good. What should I try? If I adb install minuum it can't find device and says waiting for device... Thanks in advance!

C:\android-tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

C:\android-tools>
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
you have to enable adb debugging on the watch then you will see a pop up on the linked device that you have to allow it to connect. if you dont see the pop up then turn debugging on and off on the watch. also watch the video linked in the OP
[LG G Watch] loud88gt:
Adb debugging is on according to the watch and I allowed on the popup on my phone. The unlocking/rooting using your tool went without a problem. I followed the video exactly, just can't seem to perform any adb commands - trying to install Minuum keyboard. Haven't disconnected my watch from the computer since rooting so I'm not sure what's wrong.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
you have to toggle adb debugging again after unlocking the device because it factory resets the watch. also try typing adb-kill-server then see if adb devices works
[LG G Watch] loud88gt:
I'm sure adb debugging is enabled. I've checked again in the developer menu. Killed the server and got the same offline message. Even tried a different usb cable.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
if it is saying offline then you need to enable it on the phone again with the pop up like i said. sometimes it takes a couple tries or even restarting your computer to get it working again
[LG G Watch] loud88gt:
OK. Finally got it working again. I had to restore watch back to stock and start all over again. Got Minuum to install this time. Thanks again for all your help!
[LG G Watch] Haxzor11:
Still nothing... No prompt. I'm factory restoring my watch to see if that works.

Update: Still nothing after factory restore! Crap!
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
try a diff usb cable.
[LG G Watch] Haxzor11:
Tried that. I used the wire from my LG G3 which I modded with that cable. This is frustrating. Its only not being detected... it should be simple
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
made sure its seated in the charger cradle good etc etc right? None of the pins are stuck etc?
[LG G Watch] Haxzor11:
Yup. All the wires are set. My rule.51 is set as well.
[LG G Watch] Haxzor11:
Link to download is dead. Mind mirroring please?
[LG G Watch] jewnersey:
confirmed this

i tried the package posted by playfulgod in windows 8 and linux mint and cannot seem to get it working.

In windows, I cannot get it to install/recognize fastboot.

in Linux, I chose the unlock option, and it just tossed a bunch of errors in my face.

edit::

in windows, when it is trying to install fastboot, if i unplug the watch from the dock it says it has finished and then reboots the watch but when i run the test, its still unrecognized

2:

ok more fiddling and i figured it out. when it rebooted into the bootloader, it was not reconnecting with windows, so i had to manually reboot to the bootloader again, from the watchface, to get it to connnect..

all is well.

THANK YOU
[LG G Watch] Haxzor11:
Had to manual root. Here's the steps:

1. Adb devices, if you get a device id then continue if not then check drivers. Debian doesn't work with this. Ubuntu distro is the only one that works to my knowledge.

2. Adb reboot-bootloader

3. When you see the bootloader type fastboot oem unlock then confirm.

4. Reboot then enable USB debug again.

5. Use Golhom rom (I might have misspelled it.) installer to install the rom and root.

6. Enjoy.

Simple stuff. No need for the ultility.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Tool is now updated to new ota 42Q
[LG G Watch] bwomack:
Awesome. Thanks
[LG G Watch] Jaxbot:
Awesome tool, thanks! Tried it out and it worked great, though I will point out that my particular shell (zsh) on my Mac doesn't like that the .sh file has Windows line endings. This was easy enough for me to fix, but if anyone comes up and complains about "bad interpreter: /bin/bash^M: no such file or directory", now you know ;)

Thanks for putting this together, appreciate it much!
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Lol that's because I suck at bash :) glad you got it working
[LG G Watch] Jaxbot:
I wasn't aware one could not suck at bash ;)
[LG G Watch] akellar:
I got an error on line 11 when I tried running on my Mac, same reason? I didn't dig into it too much as I was really just using the tool to be lazy but wouldn't mind having it as an option.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
I am really a windows guy so the Linux and Mac script isnt my best work and you will see it if you run the windows .bat file there are a lot more options it that tool.
[LG G Watch] PlayfulGod:
the linux/OSX script needs dos2unix and chmod +x. ;)
