Unlocked bootloader required?

Hi, there is still a question Mark on the first page behind the unlock boot loader text. Has some tried to update without unlocking the boot loader first?
[LG G Watch R] Quad_Plex:
Why not just do it with unlocking the bootloader? You have to relock it after flashing anyways so what's the big deal? Instead of trying something that *may* or may not work just stay with what's proven to be effective...
[LG G Watch R] Winesnob:
Just side loaded the update with a fully stock locked bootloader. No issues. I did discover that the watch has to be in adb sideload (not just at the recovery main menu) for the PC to install the adb drivers.
[LG G Watch R] doki81:
i also just sideloaded to 5.1.1 but notice that my phone will auto shutdown by itself..now do a factory reset and see if it will happen again :(
[LG G Watch R] jimbobtexas:
Just an FYI - when I unlocked my bootloader, the watch reset, and the OTA started downloading immediately. YMMV.
[LG G Watch R] seb31:
Hello

This is my problem

C:\fastboot>fastboot oem unlock

...

OKAY [ 10.466s]

finished. total time: 10.471s

C:\fastboot>adb sideload update.zip

loading: 'update.zip'

error: device not found

C:\fastboot>

I don't understand why my driver is off
[LG G Watch R] Humpie:
You have to sideload with your watch in recovery mode. Then with adb you can sideload the update (not with fastboot)
[LG G Watch R] seb31:
it's my architecture, in my folder fastboot i have adb, fastboot, adbwinapi.dll, adb winusbapi.dll and my update.zip.

I don't understand with fastboot my device is connect and with adb it's don't work.

Sorry for my english i'm french
[LG G Watch R] reycat:
Thanks, watch updated :)
[LG G Watch R] DrearierJester1:
When you are in the recovery mode, you will see the Big Android Logo with exclamation, swipe upper left to right down then scroll down select Apply Patch from ADB and then swipe left or right then push the adb command.
[LG G Watch R] seb31:
I did that, and i reinstalled my adb driver but my device not found

Edit : sorry i need my problem i don't take the debugage usb in my watch i'm looser
[LG G Watch R] screama:

//EDIT: Nevermind... flashed the whole 5.1.1-image :)
[LG G Watch R] Motik:
I just sideloaded the OTA zip without unlocking my bootloader... No problem :)
[LG G Watch R] Laucien:
Do you need to have the stock kernel for this to work or can I do it with the custom kernel posted here in the forum? I tried doing it last night but kept getting an ADB error when trying to sideload (something about "error fault (no state)" or something like that).
[LG G Watch R] nicogri:
As I am not a kind of patient guy I sideloaded it too... No problem with locked bootloader. New version is nice especially launching with button press
[LG G Watch R] miffymiffy:
Does twrp not work afterwards? Seems to mess up all the partitions
[LG G Watch R] Quad_Plex:
It is said that you need your wach full stock (no root etc...) but the no status error is caused by something different, you need to update your adb to fix it. I recommend this installer, used it aswell:

Hi, thank you for the tutorial.

Can you help me?

When I try the adb sideload 9de320966ac906bf3e49314a97aab24e48a798bf.signed-lenok-LDZ22D-from-LWX49K.9de32096 (or .zip) I received the message "error: device not found" or "cannot read 9de320966ac906bf3e49314a97aab24e48a798bf.signed-lenok-LDZ22D-from-LWX49K.9de32096".

I appreciate if you can help me with this.

Thanks.
[LG G Watch R] nicogri:
Unlocking bootloader is not mandatory... you can proceed directly...

You have to be in the update from adb menu in order for you computer to see adb interface, install driver and dectect the watch.

You can check if adb see your watch by typing : adb devices

You need to flash the zip file itself (no unzipping)

If you are not sure of what you are doing and don't want to waste much time you can wait the OTA for a few days... :D
[LG G Watch R] mrhizzo:
When I type and devices, I receive the message "list of devices attached". And nothing more.

I can see my watch in the devices (in Windows).
[LG G Watch R] nicogri:
Are you on recovery mode on the watch ?

Is it listed as "Android ADB interface"
[LG G Watch R] mrhizzo:
Before, I had the watch listed in the device manager, then no.

I install the Android Studio, with SDK, then the watch appear again, I updated the driver and worked!

Thank you for your help and goodwill. :)
[LG G Watch R] madds:
Change the filename to something more simple as update.zip

I had that error and it solved the issue.
[LG G Watch R] adlx.xda:
Ive sideloaded the OTA but my watch isn't booting now. It starts to boot, and then it powers off :(. Damn it! Dont know what to do. Also, I noticed it's getting quite hot while booting.

Ive tried a factory reset from recovery, no luck same happens... Any idea?
[LG G Watch R] adlx.xda:
Damn, I feel so dumb n00b now... It was just that my watch was super low on battery and I just didn't have enough to even boot.... Which sucks! ??

I've flashed phones so many times, never happened to me... I guess there always a first time.

Thanks God, it managed, I wonder how, to boot this time, and it's now charging! ??????

I'm in the same boat. Started at 91% charge but various attempts and dirty contacts drained my battery. Any chance the watch charges in the fastboot menu? :silly:

Edit:

Apparently, yes.
[LG G Watch R] cheapshot789:
hey im having same issue as you i get to 64% then it quits same error status 7, what do you mean you flashed the whole image can you help explain. thanks.
[LG G Watch R] nicogri:
Had the same problem once while flashing... I just relanched the adb sideload without rebooting the watch... and it went thrue just fine
[LG G Watch R] silentwitness1:
hey guys i dont know what i am doing wrong but when i try to sideload the update im getting

[LG G Watch R] morganfw:
Hi, you need at least 1.0.32 ADB version, so download latest Android SDK zip and install "Android SDK Build-tools" and "Google USB Drivers", then put OTA update in same ADB and Fastboot folder (Eg: "platform-tools" under Android SDK decompressed zip), open terminal (or windows cmd) and navigate in "platform-tools" folder under Android SDK, then put Smartwatch in ADB mode, and in terminal (or windows cmd) write

adb kill-server

then

adb devices

Smartwatch appear in list, if doesn't appear, in Windows you need to install ADB Drivers.

Finally write

adb sideload 9de320966ac906bf3e49314a97aab24e48a798bf.signed-lenok-LDZ22D-from-LWX49K.9de32096.zip

and wait 100%...

Now you have successfully installed Android Wear 5.1.1 on your brilliant LG G Watch R W110 :svetius:
[LG G Watch R] silentwitness1:
thanks i got it via ota today
[LG G Watch R] vaibhavvetkar:
I recently received the watch and it is on 4.4W1 and it still says System up to date. I am trying to manually update the watch, but I am getting stuck. When I am in recovery, my PC cannot see my watch in recovery resulting in "error:device not found" message.

Not that I think that there is anything associated with the carrier but the watch came from ATT.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
[LG G Watch R] Winesnob:
Put the watch in sideload mode from its recovery, and the PC should detect it and install any additional adb drivers required.
[LG G Watch R] vaibhavvetkar:
I did that and PC is not detecting the watch in that mode. I have tried two different PCs
[LG G Watch R] Winesnob:
You may need to update adb drivers through Windows Device manager.

OTA is rolling out so it might be a better idea to wait for the official update.
[LG G Watch R] Winesnob:
The link posted is to the official update. Doesn't matter if you use adb sideload or let it go on its own; the update follows the same script and you get the same end result.
[LG G Watch R] GiantAxe:
well thats nice, i completely resetted my watch like 5 months ago with stock files since there really is no point in rooting a watch to begin with.

downloaded the ota, loaded up the watch in adb

loading up recovery: red exclamation mark

great...

Well thanks regardless for posting the OTA files, now i just have to figure out how to fix this

edit: had to force reboot my watch out of recovery because it was stuck there,then on bootup it suddenly had the OTA.

I really feel the need to throw my watch out of the window right now.
[LG G Watch R] Tang034:
When you get to the red exclamation mark, just tap the screen to bring up the menu, then swipe down to get to the second option to sideload from adb, and press the power button to select.
[LG G Watch R] OliverB82:
Just Updated and re-rooted

My watch showed the OTA today, but could'nt install, seems root was the problem.

So I fastboot-ed, flashed system back to stock from here and then used adb sideload for the update. After that, re-rooted of course :D

Everything works super, including WiFi.
[LG G Watch R] GiantAxe:
after around 600 taps you'd think it comes up and around 200 swipes at each corner you'd figure it shows up.

However my recovery was completely blocked. but the OTA downloaded itself and installed just fine on its own so i guess its all okay now.
[LG G Watch R] neclepsio:
The same here. Tapping on recovery screen does not enter recovery. Any clues?
[LG G Watch R] Tang034:
If you do "adb reboot recovery", then you can't tap the red exclamation to get into the recovery menu.

Reboot the watch, at the LG logo, swipe diagonally from top left to bottom right, touch the ">" button twice at the bottom right, then the "o" at the bottom centre, then you can tap the red exclamation to get to the recovery menu.
[LG G Watch R] neclepsio:
Thank you. This method works. When using "adb reboot recovery" it didn't work: tapping on the red exclamation point did nothing.
[LG G Watch R] pandulapeter:
Same issue with the recovery menu not showing the ADB sideload option. Tried booting from the 5.0.1 recovery, that at least started the installation process but gave an error (Status 7, I suppose version mismatch).
[LG G Watch R] GiantAxe:
thanks, ill remember that. first time I encountered this error.

Hey Guys,

Im using a tab pro 12.2 and running stock rooted deodexed, and Im wondering if I buy the chromecast dongle - will I be able to mirror my device straight to the screen (I want to mirror custom videos not through youtube etc) with mxplayer pro. My TV doesnt have any sort of wifi, but it does have a hdmi slot - hence going with chromecast.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Yes there are ways to do this

The TV doesn't need WiFi, just your home and device (tablet, phone, PC)

I can only cast screen natively from my nexus devices or PC but there are apps that allow for this

Check the Chromecast threads for more info

Oh, and the best $35 I ever spent, over a year now and still use it daily

[General Questions and Answers] :
Hi

Just curious if battery saving apps are worth it or is it better to manually turn mobile data, wifi, etc off? Cause those apps of course run a lot in the backgrounding checking if they can improve anything, so curious if it better to manually do those things sometimes?

Cause right now I have DU battery saver, but I don't see it doing a lot that I couldn't do myself.

So short, are those apps worth it or do they use more battery than they save?

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] ishaang:
I've tried a few but in the end I felt manually managing it was best for me. I anyway find myself making sure the automated tasks work, so if I'm putting in that effort I might as well just only do it manually.

I think setting automatic rules always has some problem or the other. For example, timed settings do not work for me because my daily timings are not the same everyday. Location based wifi is good to set, but doesn't always work. Data off when the screen is off also doesn't make sense for me because then messages or emails wont come or come at certain intervals instead of real-time.

One very useful thing I found though, was to use one of the many available apps to automatically switch my phone to 2G whenever its connected to my home or office wifi. That saves tremendous amounts of battery and hassle!

This is my opinion though, others probably have had different experiences...

Reposted from my other post here:

I'm trying to flash CM9 onto an old Xperia PLAY. I have the recovery flashed via fastboot but in order to wipe or install I need to run

adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard

in order to mount sdcard to install the ROM to. I have the Google Android Drivers installed but when I'm in recovery Windows sees the phone as a removable storage device.

If anyone could give me a hand or at least point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Hours of googling have brought be no where.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
You don't need to type any code

If by "i have recovery flashed" you mean you have flashed kernel (boot.img is both kernel and recovery in file) from CM zip and you are able to enter recovery then just flash that zip file (choose "install zip from sdcard).

If you are having trouble transfering zip file to sdcard, then, in recovery, go to "mounts" and choose "mount usb storage". Your sdcard should be visible from PC, copy-paste zip file from PC to sdcard. Then go back to main menu of recovery and choose "install zip from sdcard"
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novicode:
I have to run that line, as the sdcard won't mount without it. One of the admins over at the CM forum mentioned it had something to do with device encryption, but I don't think that's it. In order to even access the sdcard, it needs to be mounted. This prevents me from wiping, moving files, or installing to the sdcard. As for mounting usb storage, that does nothing.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Can you access sdcard if you flash stock firmware with flashtool? If it's faulty sdcard, it won't work even on stock .

Or flash doomlord kernel, boot into recovery with back button and check can you mount sdcard (don't boot into rom, just into recovery, flash cm kernel if you successfully flash rom)

What is your phone model? I,a,x?

What was previous software installed (stock firmware, other cm7, cm9 or custom rom). Did you even had phone in working condition?

Just to say, it is normal for windows to see sdcard as mass storage when in recovery. But it will show as empty drive untill you mount it as usb storage
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novicode:
I have not tried flashtool or doomlord's kernal, would you like me to look into it? Also, how would I go about checking the phone model? I've only had it for a day because me neighbor let me borrow it to mess around with, as it was an extra replacement of his old phone. The software on here prior was the stock, then I was able to put the latest (nightly) on but it was buggy as expected. Now I'm trying to downgrade to the stable CM9.1.

If it's normal to be mass storage in recovery, then how can I use adb? I believe adb won't work because it can't find the phone because Windows is telling adb it's mass storage.

EDIT: Am downloading flashtool now, but it looks like Doomlord's kernal downloads are broken.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
I don't have magic crystall ball that tells me do you just got your phone or did you use your phone in last 3 years just for calls/texting and just now decide to flash "new rom".

As for model, you can check it my removing back cover and battery, model should be written under it.

I am still confused what are you trying to do? To flash CM9, or to see why you can't mount sdcard in PC, or you just want to find a way to copy CM9 zip file to sdcard that is in phone

If you want to transfer files to sdcard with adb, then use some programs for PC to transfer files with adb (or you can use adb commands to push files to sdcard). Don't forget to mount sdcard from "mounts and storage" menu in recovery

If you want Windows to see your sdcard as any other memory card that you plug in PC, then from "mounts and storage" choose "mount USB storage". Windows always see your sdcard as device, but untill you mount it from recovery, you can't see files (same logic as. for example, dvd player, Windows see device, but untill you actually put dvd disk into drive, you can't see what's on it)

As for doomlord kernel, look for file named PLAY-GSM-DooMKernel-v14_boot.img on internet
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novicode:
Like I said, it isn't my phone and I haven't used it before this weekend. Looks like the model is an R800x, so model X. I'm trying to run the command in the OP, as it's the only way to mount sdcard. Any other way I've tried gives an "Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!"error. If I click mount USB storage like you mentioned, the choice does nothing but set the selection bar to the top choice. Neither Windows nor the device does anything.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Maybe it is sdcard fault. Maybe it was encryped (or whatever reason)

Do you have some other sdcard? Or any microsd-USB adapter?

Maybe to try to flash stock firmware (for r800x) and format sdcard once you boot, from settings. Then flash cm9 kernel and try again with recovery

Or if you unsure which ftf to use, use Sony's EMMA software to flash stock firmware
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novicode:
The sdcard is internal storage, correct? I do happen to have an extra 2GB microSD and an adapter. I'll see if I can flash the stock software using that tool when I get a chance. I find it strange how yesterday I was able to use my command to easily mount the sd card and instal CM9. Yesterday when in recovery the phone was shown in windows as an android device. I don't know what changed. I tried reinstalling both the xperia drivers, and Google's USB drivers to no avail.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
No, sdcard is physical sdcard (xPlay don't have emulated sdcard). And i don't think any OS (either it's CM or stock) will work without physical sdcard.

Remove sdcard from phone, put in adapter and try to format it in Windows (in fat32). If windows format it without problem, copy CM rom to it and put it in phone. Then try again to flash cm9 ("install zip from sdcard" option). Try first without adb command, it should flash it without commands.

You can try all that again with 2GB card

EDIT: You do have ANY sdcard inserted in phone when you tried to flash CM9, right?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novicode:
Oh-wait a second. Looking for the SDCard I read that one is pre-installed with the device. I think I've found my problem. When my friend gave me it, there wasn't a sdcard in it. I thought this was normal because my phone has its internal memory called something along the lines of sdcard, but it also have a slot where I can install an actual sd card. Should there be something here?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Yes, you should have sdcard installed if you want recovery to mount sdcard :p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novicode:
For some reason it never posted my reply, so I'll try again. The stock AND CM9 were working without one, but I was wondering why it was asking for one to download stuff. Now I know. I never had an SD card in there, I guess he took it out and put it in his new phone. It's interesting to note I had previously installed CM without the card. I'll follow your instructions and report back.

EDIT: Whoa, now I see my previous reply. Forum being weird with me :P
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
Yes, that slot that have "MicroSD" written is place to insert (real) microSD card. 2GB card will be enough...

I never asked myself "will it work without sdcard?", and i never tried.

I guess only that once you have CM (or stock or any custom ROM) installed, sdcard can be removed and phone can have basic functionality.

But no way to install any new ROM (beside stock, with flashtool) without actuall sdcard.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novicode:
It works!

Well, after wasting all yesterday and this morning, I finally got it working. Literally putting in an SD card was all I needed to do. I wish instead of just failing to mount the SD Card it would tell me there wasn't one in! I thought sdcard was internal, and ext_sdcard was the one exposed. Oh well, it works now and that's what matters! Do I need to keep the SD Card in the phone?

Thank you for your help, Bakisha. Who knows where I'd be now without your help.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bakisha:
As i said, you will run into problems without sdcard (some apps will work, but not all), or even you won't be able to take pictures and videos with camera. I recommend you leave 2GB card in phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Novicode:
Yeah, you replied as I was typing that and I couldn't edit due to new user limit. I'm not going to be using the phone as a day to day phone, I plan to just run ads on it for some passive income, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks again.
