Is there a way to load the latest update with your tool using the "Super Tool"?
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
I havent been able to find the latest firmware from motorola yet but as soon as i do i will update the tool
[Moto 360] SchmilK:
Every time I plug usb into computer, watch reboots endlessly. :( Double checked pins from usb to pogo wires and all seems right. Any ideas?
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
pull it in then leave it plugged in. it may reboot once but after that it should stay on.
[Moto 360] dproldan:
Try changing to a shielded USB cable. I've seen that problem too.
[Moto 360] :
Can you just debug over Bluetooth? The USB adapter seems rather daunting.

If someone would sell the adapters, they could make some money.
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
yes some commands would work over adb bluetooth but you cant run fastboot commands over adb. some you will not be able to do much
[Moto 360] Jaxellis:
Guessing having the OTA wouldn't help ?

[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
I have the lollipop android 5.0.1 now just have to update the tool ;)
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
Tool is now Based on LWX48T Firmware Lollipop android 5.0.1 Version 3
[Moto 360] r3pwn:
I could dump 5.0.2 images later today for you if you wanted (boot, recovery, system, and anything else you want).
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
Thats ok. I like to wait for the official firmware from motorola thats what I always put in this tool.
[Moto 360] abuttino:
If I want to root with 5.0.2 but don't want to install TWRP, can I use this tool?
[Moto 360] r3pwn:
Mine would be exactly like the stuff from Motorola - I only boot TWRP to grab the images (not flash, so I can grab the official recovery, too) and it'll be an un-rooted, un-modified system. Boot image not touched, either. You sure you don't want them?

I am not sure about this tool, but I know that it's possible to do manually.

Please note, however:

- Rooting prevents OTA updates from installing

- You still need the special cable to boot TWRP (you root, but keep the stock recovery)
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
How do you pull them with twrp I need to learn that trick. Hangouts me at rootjunky@gmail.com
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Same process?

fastboot boot boot.img?

Where is the newest boot.img? I've been out of the rooting game since lollipop came out.
[Moto 360] cambunch:
TWRP doesn't ever get installed on the watch, you send the file temporarily for it to boot into then flash SuperSU using it. This tool will do what you are looking for.
[Moto 360] johnbravado:
I just got my 360, will the 48T version of the super tool unlock and root 5.0.2 version 49L
[Moto 360] aantdesign:
If U want just to unlock bootloader and root phone U can use the tool.
[Moto 360] johnbravado:
when you say if all i want is bootloader unlock and root it will work. I was looking to mess with the build.props to turn some stuff off. was thinking about installing Gohma. What will i not be able to do without a proper version of the super tool?
[Moto 360] aantdesign:
I unlock My MOTO 360 with this tool and install Gohma ROM but I've return to stock couse it has OTA to 5.0.2 and Gohma is 5.0.1.

When Gohma make custom 5.0.2 I'll try it.
[Moto 360] Jaxellis:
He said in his thread he is currently in Physical Therapy but will be making a 5.0.2 version of the rom
[Moto 360] abuttino:
What do you turn off? I only knew of the one possible thing to turn off, the screen on while charging.
[Moto 360] johnbravado:
I was reading you can turn off HRM and pedo counter. I do not care about using my watch as a fit bit. But I do care about having juice. So every little bit helps. But I may change my mind I bought a 10400mAh portable charger with a 2.1A port and a qi charger so I may just not care and just charge it twice a day. The battery lasts a day so long as I do not play with it but I am a light user.
[Moto 360] TheSt33v:
Okay, this is by far the most frustrating thing I've ever tried to do. I have the cable wired correctly, I've tried 3 different cables, and my computer won't acknowledge that anything is plugged in. I've used my multimeter to test that the USB cable is making contact in all the right places. The watch even gets power from the cable, but still no response from the two computers I've tried this on. I've installed the drivers, and I can't manually install them because there is no unknown device that shows up to install drivers for. I'm positive that I'm connecting to the correct terminals on the watch (hence the fact that it gets power from the cable). ADB debugging is enabled, ADB over Bluetooth is enabled and Bluetooth is enabled in android wear (and the Bluetooth stuff shouldn't even matter). The only thing in the guide that I didn't do was drill holes in the plastic thing and put it back on because I don't have a drill bit that small and it seemed more cosmetic than anything else. Does anyone have any tips?
[Moto 360] Jaxellis:
I was having this happen. Its because its actually not sitting right ... Even if its getting power doesnt mean its sitting right... i had to tape mine down a little bit on one side to get it working correctly
[Moto 360] TheSt33v:
Thanks! I'll try anything at this point. When you got it to work, did you do it with the watch face down, or does it have to be face up for some reason? It seems like it would be much easier face down.
[Moto 360] Parker Iverson:
Hey, so is there any difference between 5.0.1 and 5.0.2? Does the tool still work?! Thanks
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
this tool will still work on 5.0.2 what is will do is downgrade you to 5.0.1 if you use the restore feature other then than you are fine. I will update the tool to 5.0.2 as soon as the motorola firmware is released

[Moto 360] Dollyllama:
Great Guide and videos! Thank you!

I was able to create the cable, unlock bootloader, and root the device.

I also installed TWRP and successfully booted to it, however, if my understanding is correct, TWRP is not permanently installed like it is on a phone or tablet. When I do not have the jig hooked to the watch, using adb reboot command simply boots to the stock recovery.

Is there a way to PERMANENTLY install twrp to the device so that issuing adb reboot will boot to TWRP as opposed to the stock recovery so I don't have to take the band off every time?
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
you can permanently flash TWRP just fine the problem is that there arent any key combos to enter twrp so the only way to do it is with a abd reboot recovery or fastboot boot twrp-recovery.img command. option 8 will flash it permanently and option 9 of my tool with boot it. good luck
[Moto 360] Dollyllama:
Thank you for your help. I got the recovery installed properly. I also created an app to allow users to reboot into recovery, reboot, and power off the devices without issuing commands. I placed it in the app/themes section because I can't post in development yet.

[Moto 360] abuttino:
Why do you care? This script is only to go back to the old update..

Do you plan on flashing your watch on multiple occasions?

Even if the answer is yes, you still need to flash root out of it. It's not that big of a deal
[Moto 360] thecarp1975:
I'm on 5.1.1 and want to root the watch. That's why. Tool doesn't work if you're on 5.1.1.

How did U update to 5.1.1. ?

I'm still on 5.0.2.
[Moto 360] kspsp:
aantdesign

if you have usb cable restore the watch to LWX49L with this tool and after reboot recovery (standard not twrp) and flash it

use adb sideload ota link https://android.googleapis.com/pack...ned-metallica-LDZ22O-from-LWX49L.7dc4415e.zip

if you are on normal LWX49L no mod you can flash direct

if you don't have usb cable http://www.xda-developers.com/moto-360-5-1-1-forced-ota-performance-impressions/
[Moto 360] aantdesign:
Ok, thanx mate :)

I'm on LWX49L with bootloader unlocked. Can I direct flash 5.1.1. U gave me or need to reflash with LWX49L first ?

How to flash that 5.1.1. rom ?

I'm completely stock with unlocked bootloader and I took the OTA update with no problems.

When U enable USB Debug on your watch U need to confirm that on your phone (you watch need to be connected with android wear on your phone).

[Moto 360] sgtduckyboy:
just bought this watch on the 19th and it took two updates a few days apart, 5.1.1 being the last one. surprised yours didnt take, but I did read somewhere, the docking cradle is important for use with this device to get updates and such. Not sure what you knew, just wanted to give my brief observances. I was going to take this back, tomorrow is my last day to do so at best buy. but the last few days i have grown to like it. it reset a few times on me in my pocket, guess i dont want to keep it in my pocket , some odd button pushes must have caused it to reset is all i can figure out.

looking forward to new tool update and having fun with this device. but i have yet to find out what are the perks to rooting and unlocking it? are tehre alternative rom's out there? anyone with link or brief description of the perks, I'd appreciate it!
[Moto 360] N00b-un-2:
yes, but you need the ADB cable.

1) connect the ADB cable to the watch

2) power off the watch.

3) long press the home button until you feel two vibrations. Let go of the home button and you should see the bootloader.

4) in a terminal/cmd.exe window, enter the command

fastboot boot '/path/to/twrp/recovery.img'

(you can click and drag the TWRP recovery image to the terminal)

or, if you are trying to get into the stock recovery, just type

fastboot reboot recovery

Or, if you do not have an ADB cable, you can still get into the stock recovery after you enable Bluetooth debugging on your watch and phone's Wear app. With you phone connected via USB to your computer, you can connect to your watch and reboot it by declaring 'adb -s [port number of the watch] adb reboot recovery'
[Moto 360] Anathema:
I know it. But i ask a method without adb. Because usb port on my moto need to repair.

[Moto 360] Ad1982:
There's not a whole lot of extra things you can do, but a few are useful:

-You can run root apps such as Greenify to hibernate apps that you don't want running in the background.

-You can run reboot apps such as Dfuse Wear Rebooter that let you reboot to recovery, bootloader or just a regular reboot without digging through menus.

-You can install a custom recovery such as TWRP.

-You can run settings apps that let you change the DPI or change CPU governors.

-Apps such as ES File Explorer can access root.

-You can disable Fitness and the heart rate monitors if you want a little extra battery and don't use those features.

I had my 360 successfully rooted on 5.0.2 but when I try to root the new version, I am stuck at the google loading animation.

I AM able to access the watch via ADB with the cable. I can run adb shell and get root # at the prompt, but the watch is in an eternal boot loop :(

[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
the only way to update the watch without a cable is with a ota update thats it
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Can't even alter the OTA to stop it from checking signatures?

How about returning everything back to normal so it likes the signatures?
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
You need a cable to do all of those things.
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Why do you need a cable to alter the OTA? I have the cable, the USB is just screwed.

I can put the OTA on the watch by Bluetooth. Not a problem there. Just need to get the update script altered enough so it'll take the update.
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
you really dont listen that well you have to have a cable to fix it. you cant edit a ota update it is signed with a key and then that doesnt match the ota will fail
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Why can't I just bring the system to pre-root spec? Changing the build.prop back and erasing the su stuff? I didn't change anything else.

I am listening, but obviously out of options and won't upgrade this watch because it's so close to the new model year.

So, grasping at straws and trying to ask anything possible.

SuperSU

Does that mean we can't use this to root it, or if we restore the 360 using this tool to 5.1.1 it will restore it with root access? Thanks for the help!
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
yeah so i have been testing the tool with a new supersu file and when you flash it the watch just enters a endless bootloop. :( The restore files all work just fine and are from motorola so restore will always work. just need to look into root some more, maybe need to try it with supersu 2.49 beta or something :)

Awesome, thanks for the help Tom! It'll be nice to have root again.

if you need any help with that...today i fixed up the cable and unlocked my bootloader.

so i'm ready to root 5.1.1 ;)
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
boot twrp recovery and flash supersu version 2.49 beta and see if you get stuck in a bootloop or not that is my next step
[Moto 360] Psycho_666:
well...i tried it.

it bootlooped at first for 10 minutes or so and then the screen went black and it hasn't turned back on yet.

not even while it's on the charger :confused:
[Moto 360] Tomsgt:
So boot into bootloader and restore the device
[Moto 360] Psycho_666:
yeah once i got it booting again i did that.

it's charging again now :good:

but anyway, i adb pushed the supersu.zip to the sdcard folder and flashed it from there in twrp.

have you tried the twrp auto root yet?:fingers-crossed:

So it did boot for a little bit with supersu 2.49beta ?

[MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION] , isn't it possible that with the 5.1.1 firmware that root is only achievable with a modded kernel like on the s6?

there it needs to be rooted from the kernel, otherwise it won't get rooted. :eek:

you make a great point and that is likely the problem.
[Moto 360] Psycho_666:

[Moto 360] npjohnson:
This watch can be rooted fine on 5.1.1 via TWRP. The rootboot img won't work anymore.

You can't flash SuperSU. You need to extract the SU binary from the SuperSU 2.49 zip, and manually place it. (I really don't feel like explaining how to do that. If you want to figure it out, examine the Updater-Binary in a text editor, it can be found in the META-INF folder of the SuperSU zip. It will show you where to install what files.)
[Moto 360] Ad1982:
Well that's at least good to know we can root 5.1.1, I'll have to look into how to do it with your method, I'm not sure I understand. Anyway, thanks for pointing us in the right direction!
[Moto 360] Psycho_666:
so...if i manually place the files or make it all in a new flashable zip, it should work just fine?

I know you said you don't really feel like explaining how to root the 360 (I held off for a while in hopes that someone else had a solution), but since no one else has come up with a solution would you be able to give a brief overview on the steps to root it? Sorry for asking, and it would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
[Moto 360] npjohnson:
Easiest Way? Unzip the SuperSu zip, Remove the SuperUser.apk, and open up the updater-binary in Notepad++(Windows) or Text Editor (Linux or Mac), and remove all lines that reference the SuperUser.apk.

Then re-zip and either sign it, or turn off sig verification in TWRP Settings.

Flash away.

Method 2: Flash SuperSU 2.46 and just remove the Superuser directory in /system/app after install

Would be someone so kind and edited the update-binary, so it would work, or could someone just write me a short set of instructions what should I copy and where?
