Hi Mr Tomsgt, hope you or the community can help me.

Previously my watch is rooted and I wish to go back to stock.. So I fastboot flash the boot,system and recovery with 5.0.1 stock files from another thread... all is good till the page where I'm suppose to pair my watch to my phone. My watch name shows up on my phone but will just suddenly disappear and reappear again or totally won't show up on the pairing screen.

So I tried download your recovery tool V9.5 and even V8

1. Unlock bootloader

2. And choose option 6. Everything was write over successfully without any error or anything.

3. I then press the > arrow to Recovery but it will always brings me back to the Fastboot menu. I've tried all the options on the Fastboot Menu and even off and on the watch... it will always go back to Fastboot Menu.

There is no way for me to boot to recovery or even boot to system. Did I miss any steps?

I've tried many solutions in the forum and it's either this problem or just fail to find my watch on Android Wear app... I'm on the verge of throwing out this watch.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
So the problem is that you can wipe data factory reset in recovery because you can't enter recovery. Right? First off let's make sure you know how to enter recovery from boot loader mode. All you should have to do is arrow over until recovery is listed then press the circle button to select it. Then stock recovery will load up. Select wipe data factory reset then you will be able to connect to the watch again.
[LG G Watch] d3bugu:
Yea i know, like I said I tap on the arrow till it says recovery. I press o. It didn't enter recovery mode buy instead load back to fastboot menu again. The rest of the options also did the same thing except the power off page.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
are you sure that the images are flashing correctly then? by flashing boot system and recovery with fastboot then any option from bootloader mode should work.
[LG G Watch] d3bugu:
How can it be wrong if I download the tools with the image file provided in the zip? Unless the images provided are wrong?

I made a couple of tweaks to your Linux version of the script.

[MENTION=6042777]rootjunky[/MENTION] I made a few tweaks to your Linux script that should make it a bit better. I modified it to automatically do a chmod +x to the $ADB and $FASTBOOT files as well as fixed a couple of typos in the instructions.

I did this because I was scratching my head for a few minutes as to why it could not find ./adblinux and ./fastboot linux, until I realized it was because they were not executable. The script only mentions doing chmod +x to the script itself, not the executable files too.

Here is a diff of the original vs my version...

thanks buddy i am not that good with linux. i am making a linux machine soon and hope to improve my bash script skills with it. :)
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
updated the windows version of tool to V9.6 added some automation to the root process for fun :) plus update twrp recovery to latest build
[LG G Watch] Bramton1:
I'm having difficulty unrooting the G Watch. I'm going back to stock so I can update to 5.0.2. Did option 6 to revert to the stock version, relocked bootloader. But when I go into adb shell, I can still access root@dory, and my 5.0.2 install aborts.

Any advice?

UPDATE: Nevermind
[LG G Watch] gavilan2010:
The tool work great man.

Thanks you for you hard work, for our Watch
[LG G Watch] Pampered4Life:
How May I ask did you fix this? I have been running myself crazy trying to get back to stock and install 5.0.2. Thanks.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
download the latest super tool and use option 6 it will fix the problem you are having
[LG G Watch] johnvuong1999:
I have downloaded and restore my G Watch to stock by click 6 "Restore your G watch to Stock", but when I run back to fast boot and click on recovery mode, I will fail. what is the reason?

I have unlocked my boot loader, I am not sure whether it is rooted, I just click 6 to restore to Stock, I have downloaded the latest version 9.7.

I need to it to OTA update and recovery back normally, just like a new watch can do.

Thanks.
[LG G Watch] fr33kiLL:
5.1.1 is out for G Watch and R hope to getlink of update soon, so tell me how to grap the URL?

[LG G Watch] lparcshinoda:
Ok thanks, i've installed it correctly by doing option 6 of this tool in fastboot and then entering recovery and adb sideload and pushing the update.zip. Now it's booting :)
[LG G Watch] SamuEDL:
Can you send the recovery of android 5.0.2? It is that the unload goes very slow.
[LG G Watch] jorgewolf:
solved
[LG G Watch] redsfan27:
Does anybody know if I can flash this on top of 5.0.2 with arter97s kernal or do I have to clear everything first?
[LG G Watch] lparcshinoda:
No, you need to restore stock system (won't lose data anyway)

[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
thanks for the link i just made it into a batch file to make updating to the new android wear 5.1.1 easy with some automated adb commands update to lollipop 5.1.1 batch file

Since this update patches the bootloader i would highly recommend installing the update with this ota and not using the supertool to update to 5.1.1 but the super tool will be updated shortly
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Super Tool has been update to android 5.1.1 build LDZ22D ;)
[LG G Watch] redsfan27:
Lol just installed 5.1.1 the hard way an hour before you posted this, but was still able to use the tool to go back to stock. Thanks!
[LG G Watch] mikeyeung5:
This is great! I got Status 7 with OTA and sideload, now i finally updated my LG G Watch Thanks
[LG G Watch] Bramton1:
So updating to 5.1.1 should be as easy as selecting Option 6?
[LG G Watch] drewski_1:
there was mention of an updated bootloader. will Option 6 do that or just flash the system, recovery & kernel?

and does 5.1.1 need the updated bootloader?
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
I would us the ota update to make sure you get the bootloader update then use the new super tool if you need to restore system boot and recovery.
[LG G Watch] redsfan27:
I would have except that I had arter97's kernal so it never would've come.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
The Super tool has a option to flash just boot image this will replace the kernel you installed.
[LG G Watch] Bramton1:
Running smoothly, so I'm thinking the answer to my question was yes.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Yes it will update you to 5.1.1 but you will not update the bootloader with option 6 it only flashes system boot and recovery.
[LG G Watch] hanschke:
thank you for your work! can you explain me why you have 2 recovery inside and not the latest one? SuperSU can you update too ;)
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
because i didnt take one of the recoveries out and supersu is special for android wear.
[LG G Watch] reb1995:
Amazing stuff!

BTW, just a heads up, this version doesn't seem to work when placed in a network drive. Not sure why. I was having issues and solved them by placing the folder on the desktop!

Thanks again.

Every time I try to factory reset after flashing stock, my recovery freezes. If I just try rebooting it, it goes into a boot loop. Please help!
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
what version of the supertool did you download?
[LG G Watch] drewski_1:
You'll need to also modify the .bat file to flash the right recovery .IMG file

Not sure on SuperSU

[LG G Watch] lparcshinoda:
do someone can extract the updated bootloader? (maybe in the OTA) Thanks
[LG G Watch] Ranomez:
Hi, [MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION] thank you for your tool and your OTA updater scripts, it is really useful.

Just a suggestion: could you perhaps also add the option to install busybox with your tool, it would be really useful for me and I am sure others also?
[LG G Watch] Mortificate:
Does anyone know how to unlock the G watch bootloader from fastboot? I tried to use Recovery Tool 9.8 on my 5.0.2 G watch to factory reset (option 6) and after it wiped system data it failed to download the data back to the watch so now I have no system. I have Fastboot and TWRP recovery on the watch at the moment. I've tried using Recovery tool 9.4 & 9.5 to factory reset but it seems to hang up on "Downloading" the system data. Looking at the bootloader I see that secure boot is enabled, and lock state is unlocked. If anyone has an idea of how I might resolve this issue I'd be stoked. Thank you.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
ok so i am pretty sure that the tool states that you use the restore feature you need a unlocked bootloader. that being said.. if you are in fastboot / bootloader mode then open a cammand window in the folder that the tool files are located in and type

fastsboot devices

fastboot oem unlock

and follow the directions on the watch. then once this is just use the restore option 6 and you will be working again.
[LG G Watch] Mortificate:
Does "fastboot oem unlock" unlock the bootloader? When I run it I am told "remote: Already Unlocked". In bootloader I see "Secure Boot - enabled" & "Lock State - unlocked". If this means my bootloader is unlocked then I am at a loss as to why the system isn't downloading to the watch when I try to factory rest.
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
ok if that is the case then try running option 6 again to restore the watch
[LG G Watch] Mortificate:
I tried that. The watch goes into "Downloading..." and just stays there. Does this normally take a REALLY long time to download? I think I left it for 30min or so yesterday and no progress.
[LG G Watch] drewski_1:
no, it shouldn't take that long.

have you tried a different USB cable or port on your computer?
[LG G Watch] Mortificate:
You're a G! It would seem either the USB port I was using or the cable was the issue. What a bunch of hassle for something so simple. Thanks a bunch for your help guys.

hi i just brought the lg g watch and i updated it to 5.1.1 if i unlock bootloader and root it can i still flash the custom rom for it if not can i down grade to 5.02 or lower to flash custom rom what u think
[LG G Watch] hanschke:
can I do stock installation without pre_root because I have to have a warrity and send it to lg.
[LG G Watch] drewski_1:
I think you should be able to install Ghoma (or are you referring to a different ROM?) on top of 5.1.1, but personally I think stock 5.1.1 is so much better than 5.0.2 for responsiveness and battery that going to Ghoma just looses you the new 5.1.1 features for little to no gain in performance.

YMMV

Sent from my SHIELD Tablet
[LG G Watch] Ismail.A:
thanks for your advise i will stick with 5.1.1
[LG G Watch] Ranomez:
I don't actually think it is actually pre-rooted because I restored a couple of times and I didn't have root after so I still had to manually root it.

EDIT: At least it is not properly rooted, perhaps the permissions on the su binary are not set right.

Having an issue where, when pulling down the notification shade, any option that is in the center of the watch screen, does not respond to touch. SO I can't enter settings or set my notification to priority only from the watch. Trying a factory reset or just to sideload the ota, but my recovery freezes and I have to use a pen to reboot into the watch...

Currently attempting a factory reset, but in case that doesn't work, anyone else have any sugestions?

[LG G Watch] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
**Solved**
[LG G Watch] silent_bob52637:
I'm in the same boat I'm stuck at 5.0 ota fails because the system IMG is modified

The return to stock option does not return the watch to stock it clearly tells me its a rooted system I need an unmodified system.IMG to flash so I can update to 5.1.1 again but cannot find it anywhere

BTW it t fails even if the bootloader is relocked because of the prerooting which isn't even functional
[LG G Watch] todorcim:
I figured it out, I had no choice but to use a windows computer and the lg watch flash tool, but after I flashed stock I needed to go back into the flash tool and flash just stock boot.IMG, for some reason whenever I flashed go back to stock it flashes stock but also root as well, going back in and flashing just stock boot.IMG seemed to fix it for me.
[LG G Watch] silent_bob52637:
Will try now

I still think the return to stock button should return it to stock with no root

Edit: no go I used return to stock then flashed stock boot IMG and recovery then relocked my bootloader then to make sure I did a manual factory reset but ota still fails stating system modified unable to continue
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
what version of the tool are you using
[LG G Watch] silent_bob52637:
I'm using v9.4 because every other link just gives me a download.bin no matter which browser I use

The backup mirror is blocked by my ISP

If it means anything I'm running an old xp sp3 dell 505
[LG G Watch] silent_bob52637:
This what I get when I try to download any other version

Edit: I used restore tool from mysterioussparrow

Then used this one to reinstall twrp and I'm back to 5.1.1 with recovery and root

I have tried your download links again but still can't get any other besides 9.4 I just end up with either download.bin on internet explorer and both Firefox and chrome call it an octet stream
[LG G Watch] JanusDC:
This tool would install Android 5.0.1. Where can I guet the system.img of 5.1.1? (and boot and recovery, I want to fully go back to stock).

I searched the forum but I do not find it, just found the OTA, which is useless because I am not in stock.

UPDATE: Please remove this post, I just found the right thread
[LG G Watch] DarkAngel:
Although I was not able to fully get it working at first ( driver issue ), once fixed all went smooth their after. At first I was able to go back to stock flashing it manually via the command window using your images provided from each version, Big thank you for all those, saved my butt their. After it updated to 5.0.2 via OTA, I figured I could just go in and manually flash each image anyways and I did. I Manually flashed all three 5.1.1 images and all works great. I then re-tried the tool (v9.8) to test it and it worked perfectly then after.

Thank you for this tool sir and all the images. I almost thought I would never update to the newest firmware. I am new to LG and the way/s one has to unlock their devices so this was a small learning experience. Very easy to accomplish and perform several tasks on this device via commands as I have learned.

One question. What recovery are you or anyone using with good results? I tried flashing the newest versions of TWRP and my LG G would just reboot back into TWRP again after trying to reboot into the OS. Don't know if I am doing something wrong there.

:good:
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
awesome glad you like the tool and files. i use twrp for my recovery
[LG G Watch] DarkAngel:
Hmmm, going to try and flash again. Which version do you use?
[LG G Watch] craigacgomez:
For anyone interested, here's the system.img, boot.img and bootloader from the latest Android Wear 1.3 (5.1.1 LCA43) update (credit to Android Police for the OTA files)

note, upon exiting it would be nice if you added adb kill-server so people can move/delete the folder containing adb after they run the tool.

Can anyone post a video or provide directions on using this tool on a mac?
[LG G Watch] Tower1972:
So I used the tool and all went well. Then I installed TWRP, and followed to instructions at the end that say

If you want to keep TWRP after reboot, click reboot, system, then hit yes

I do that, but I have no option to hit yes, it just reboots right away. Also how do we get into recovery after.. I tried the swipe down from top left to bottom left corners but that didnt work :(
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
Yeah this recovery doesnt ask you to keep twrp I will have to change that. and here is a video on how to boot to bootloader and then select twrp recovery http://youtu.be/ftSCH7qihRI

[LG G Watch] Tower1972:
Have you tried to relock and restore your watch? Guess I just ask since I used to own a Samsung s4 and if I remember correctly, doing all this would trip a flag that even if you relocked and unrooted, it would still show tampered

I like this device but im still on the fence. If I wanted to return it, would they be able to tell it was bootloader unlocked, etc? I watched the video again but since you said you tested all the options I was wondering
[LG G Watch] Legitkrillin:
Excellent utility!

Thanks a million for this excellent utility very handy! The only problem i had with it is it would not launch under Linux (Fedora 20 64bit) but i ran it on Windows 7 64bit worked like a charm. I was able to install the Gohma 1.0 patch and my watch is running really sweet! :fingers-crossed:

Will this tool also work for the Gear Live or could you point me in the right direction.? Much appreciated!
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
No sorry this tool is for LG G Watch only the files only work with it. If I get a gear live and it is able to be unlocked then I could make the tool for that device also. That is a lot of ifs.
[LG G Watch] Tower1972:
were you able to get that recovery issue fixed? I think there is an app being made up that will boot ya into recovery without all the extra steps!!
[LG G Watch] Tomsgt:
to boot to recovery just click reboot on the watch in settings then as it boots tap the top left and bottom right at the same time and you will boot to recovery. pretty easy
[LG G Watch] Tower1972:
Oh I know.. I swipe from left to right to get into it.. But someone made an app that doesn't require you to power down your watch and do the swipe.. Just open the app drawer and tap 2 buttons button and it does it on its own!

Suggestion: you should add an option to flash the bootloader because if you update from any 4.4 (W1 or W2) version to 5.11 the stock recovery will not work (The Android guy will appear on the screen but nothing will happen). To fix this you need to flash the bootloader posted by [MENTION=2322613]craigacgomez[/MENTION] as a zip file from TWRP.

And thanks for the tool.
