[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Ok thanks for that

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 AM ----------

Just one other thing how can I check I have successfully rooted my device?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] jemfalor:
sideload an app and use its root feature. es explorer or terminal emulator

˜xperia z3,d6653,5.1.1,v71,tapatalk
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Or use ADB Shell to use the su command to gain root access.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Ok thank you both the root features in es are very limited so its hard to tell I will try the su command later on thanks for that NUT

Edit: I did try TWRP on the latest firmware in the end LCA43 and it was successful im still yet to see if root was successful I dont have a superuser app is this normal?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] karl0ss:
This all works on the latest Android Wear build as well
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Yes, there is no app for wear (yet).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I will update the OP and subject after I confirmed it myself...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Hi I dont think my smartwatch is rooted I ran the command but it just prints nothing I also tried system app mover app but it just keeps showing the looking for root message I cant grant root how do I do this I flashed the zip 4 times and moved it over twice what am I doing wrong?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
What on earth are you trying to do? Run phone apps on the SW?

Just do adb shell on the pc when you have connected the SW to it. then type 'su' on the adb shell to promote the shell to root.

There is no supersu app to grant root access to applications (yet). You won't be able to use apps which use the root access privilege as they expect an app like supersu to be installed.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Oh ok then i did try the comman but it didnt print # it just came up blank with nothing there I did adb shell which worked then su and it put me on a new line with no text
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
well... Then I'm not sure if you are rooted... if you had busybox on the device, you could have tried the 'whoami' applet to check for sure...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
I dont understand how im not rooted I followed all the steps and installed the wear superuser zip in TWRP I am on the latest build so I dont think any of the steps I did were wrong I suppose that zip may not work on the latest build im unsure
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I hope to give it a test tonight, I need to revert my device to a clean stock rom to allow updating...

Too many small modifications to allow the patch update :cool:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Ah ok cool someone already said this method works on the new build but I also thought it had too I installed TWRP and a kernel so I assumed root worked to but I gues not thanks for the tutorial anyway helped me install TWRP
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I'm sorry, but you must be doing something wrong...

LINUX:~/Android$ adb push Wear-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /tmp/
4469 KB/s (1438144 bytes in 0.314s)
LINUX:~/Android$ adb shell
shell@tetra:/ $ su
root@tetra:/ # getprop ro.build.id
LCA43

Did you enable the developer options and did you turn on adb debugging? (On the phone it's equivalent would be called 'USB Debugging', on Sony's devices at least).

Did you accept the PC you use to always allow adb access?

It's clear that Google didn't plug this gaping security hole yet... :cowboy:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Hmm thats interesting when I was doing it I had to change the drivers for the Sony smartwatch 3 to android drivers to a Google device rather than a sony device. Adb wouldnt detect the device with sony drivers but as soon as I installed those drivers it worked I was pushing the zip over Bluetooth it worked but when I installed it those commands showed no difference ill try this code using Windows 7 or 10 it didnt come up with that Linux stuff when I did adb shell may that be the problem?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
No, the LINUX stuff was what I did using adb with the device in TWRP. I copied the flashable zip to /tmp and flashed it from there.

Then reboot to system from TWRP and then the result.

The driver for the device can be found in the default drivers in windows. It's just a standard Android Debugging Bridge device.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Yes thats right it sounds like the only difference was that I was in android wear using debugging not TWRP and I copied the zip to sdcard not tmp that might be why I have the right drivers so it cant be that ill try doing it in TWRP from tmp that sounds like it might work so ill try it soon
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Although you are correct that there is no super su to manage permissions, all apps have superuser permissions if they are written correctly. Using this method, I am running es file explorer with root permissions, flashify, battery mix, and even gsam battery monitor.

I have no issues with root, and my boot loader is still locked. :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Are you on latest build with new watchfaces?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Yes, but I have not rerooted since the update (root breaks updates). When I do, I will report back.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chocmatic:
Has anyone tried this with 5.1.1? I downloaded the 5.1.1 image file from step 4 and proceeded to reboot into bootloader. However, when running "fastboot boot <image file name>" i receive the following error

D:\ADB Drivers_Updated>fastboot boot new_boot.img.tar

OKAY [ 0.390s]

finished. total time: 1.110s

Seems pretty straight forward...I might have missed something though.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Yes. It worked for me. You are probably using the wrong twrp image. It has to be the one for 5.1.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chocmatic:
I used this one http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61002165&postcount=43
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
What am I doing wrong here I typed su multiple times but nothing ive tried on Windows 7 and 10 norhing and ive reinstalled the zip 5 times including from tmp too
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
I have TWRP installed on latest build but cant get root to work I used the one from the op and I have a kernel installed too just cant get root to work
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chocmatic:
I can't get trwp to install. For ****s and giggles I used the one from 5.0 and it just rebooted watch, while the one from 5.1 just gives the error above. Downloaded it a few times thinking maybe the file was corrupt, but no go
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Which os are u on Mac window 7,8,10? Also what is the name of the IMG your trying to flash?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chocmatic:
windows 7 and i left the stock name "new_boot.img.tar" I also tried renaming it to new_boot.img
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
You need to extract it as. Tar then flash the. IMG u get
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chocmatic:
Duh! the extra file extension name should have told me something. Definitely had a brain fart there. I was able to flash the SU file. Going to try and flash kernel. thanks for the help
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
No problem

Edit: what was your proceedure for flashing th su file?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chocmatic:
adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot new_boot.img

TWRP would come up and flash zip file and the file is on the root directory of the sdcard
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
I dont understand I might start over I flashed it that exact way 5 times nothing
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chocmatic:
What error did you get? Something along the lines of flash not being successful?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
No in TWRP it says flash successful but when I run the command to check nothing happens check my screenshot on the page before
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
You do not flash the supersu, you install it. Zips cannot be flashed.

You need to push the super su to your sdcard first.

By doing this. In a terminal on your computer.

Adb push <supers.zip> sdcard/

Then in twrp, install the zip.

Also, you may want to connect your watch directly to the computer to use adb instead of going through your phone.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Thats what i did sorry I didnt flash it i did install it I clicked install zip in twrp but nothing worked when I checked it in adb
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
Try connecting the watch directly. Perhaps the zip was corrupted. After install, did twrp say success, or did it just reboot?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
I rooted this morning. All works well on the newest kernel. It is exactly as advertised. I did forget to mention that I never had much luck with root checkers on this watch. However, busybox, es file explorer, and kernel auditor all work and have root permissions.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
I connected the watch directly to move the zip over when I installed it it said successful when I rebooted and pluged my device back into adb and run the command adb shell then su it just goes blank my screenshot is on the previous pages
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lekofraggle:
That screen shot is of an emulator window. To gain superuser permissions, you need to connect directly and use a command prompt.

Try this. Download and install es file explorer.

In a command prompt window type...

Adb install <esfileexplorer.apk>

Then, on your watch, open es file explorer.

Click on the hamburger menu

Scroll down to tools

Click on root explorer

That will tell you if you have root installed correctly.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
I tried that first it enables but when I actually wanna access it by clicking it nothing happens I tried to gain permissions because thats what it said to try in the op if you have a # it worked but no # for me
[Sony Smartwatch 3] abbychauhan:
Hi Mr [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION], 3 Questions -

1. Does Rooting will make the watch not to Receive OTA?

2. How to Unroot?

3. How you are connecting your one watch to your multiple devices or how to connect to all ROMs Using multirom?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Joolz03:
Can we turn off touch to wake with root for the sw3?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
1: no

2: you can unroot using a root removal package, there are some flashable packages around, the alternative is to install the supersu apk on the watch and use that to unroot the device.

3: whut? :confused: I'm running only one ROM, the latest.

No way to my knowledge right now, as it's a kernel/driver based feature, not sure if it's possible to control it, I have no knowledge on that part.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
I finally managed to get root I think it was because I flashed a custom kernel first before flashing the superuser zip it cause a problem this time I did the zip first and it works fine thanks nut

[Sony Smartwatch 3] abbychauhan:
And what if u want to use ur watch with another phone? u ll have to fectory reset the watch, is there any way it can be used with another phone without factory reset?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ranf:
http://xdaforums.com/sitesearch.php?q=resetwearclient
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Thanks :good:

I hope some bright mind can eventually make it wake on double tap instead of a single one... I do like the tap to wake feature, but a single tap is too random touch prone... a waste of battery life....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] foggy69:
MY SW3 is rooted, the permissions are as shown and I have changed the last line to 'touch.wake = 0'

The device still wakes up when I touch the screen.

Is this working for anybody else?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I hope you did reboot afterwards?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] foggy69:
Yes, I did reboot the SW3.:)

I also checked that the file had been changed.

I have also tried the 'Advanced Settings' app from the play store. This has a wake up on touch setting, but this also doesn't seem to work
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Well, that means the driver is ignoring that settings file or just that setting...

Too bad :(
[Sony Smartwatch 3] abbychauhan:
Hi there Mr [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] or someone help me out here I am Stuck after 6th Step.

My Device have Locked Bootloader, as good as new watch, havent done anything till now.

Now After 6th Step I see on my watch RUNNING FASTBOOT

But When I give commend "fastboot boot unofficial-twrp-2.8.3.0-tetra.img" it shows Waiting for device and stucks there.

I am pretty sure all drivers were installed sucessfully on my PC running WIN 10, yet can someone give solution

Edit - WIN 10 Driver problem, i have solved, thanks @ [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION], now how can i boot to recovery? When I gave commend "adb reboot recovery" I see system recovery.. :eek:, but when I give "adb shell su" i see "root@tetra:/ #", seems watch is rooted but recovery got overwrite by system recovery again?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
You need to fastboot that same twrp image to get recovery. DO NOT FLASH IT or you will cause a brick on your wrist. With that TWRP you can do anything you like.

Remember that rooting by itself will cause OTA updates to fail.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] abbychauhan:
Ok that means everytime if i wanted to flash anything then then i ll have to give the fastboot boot tertatwrp.img, though we dont have much Zips to Flash, unless someone gets Gohma ROM or some other ROM for our Tetra, Well FYI my watch rooted and using the Reset App wear Client for my Multirom Problem, i ll look more apps which support Root for Android wear

Thanks a lot
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zr1:
well i wrote wear-supersu and installed it and still booting to smartwatch 3 logo and hangs :(
[Sony Smartwatch 3] abbychauhan:
U had to write exact same name of superSu Zip and ddid it say Sucess?

Then u ll have to install that zip.from TWRP recovery
[Sony Smartwatch 3] zr1:
i got it working finally thanks for your help
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Macusercom:
I could successfully install Wear-SuperSU-v2.46.zip on my Sony Smartwatch 3 running the latest 5.1.1 (LCA43) software by installing Google's USB drivers (I had to add "tetra" to the driver .inf file and allow the installation of unsigned drivers in Windows 10) and by using "fastboot boot TWRP.img".

Now I have a rooted Smartwatch 3 with a locked bootloader. I would highly recommend backing up "system" and "boot" in TWRP and then use "adb pull" to get the files in case you mess something up.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Which is a wise idea even before flashing the supersu zip, because rooting your SW3 will make OTA updating impossible.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Macusercom:
I did it before flashing SuperSU ;) The thing is that a factory image doesn't exist which only makes reflashing the OTA possible. If this doesn't work, you're out of luck. Does anyone know if there are any personal information in /system or /boot or in the TWRP backup of them, respectively? Because maybe someday someone will need these files :o
[Sony Smartwatch 3] abbychauhan:
What? earlier u said it will not break OTA here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62847297&postcount=58
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Oh no, it will receive it, but it won't install...

If you unlock the bootloader, that process stops.

Big difference.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
How do I go about reinstalling the software on the watch using PC companion? If I do the usual insert USB method on the watch will that work? Will it get rid of my root recovery and kernel because I'm having problems with some apps on the watch they keep uninstalling themselves when the phone reboots then reconnects and its really annoying because one of them is watchmaker and sometimes when I resync them it disconnects and takes forever to reconnect I only wanna revert just to start over then put root recovery and kernel back on.

thanks in advance
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Using PC companion you will restore your watch to stock and unrooted order and will be able to update using the OTA package again.

Last time I did that it had the older ROM (LDZ22D) getting put on it, so I needed the OTA package to update to the latest version.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Do I need to relock the bootloader first because when I plugged the watch into PC companion it said there was no update
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Not sure about PC Companion, I believe it can work with locked bootloader as well, remember Sony lags behind on Google's releases, so you will need to force PC Companion to flash your device (reinstall/factory reset) and then use the OTA update package to install the latest using the built in recovery from google.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex_SW:
hi,i unlocked bootloader,fastbooted twrp and flashed supersu.zip...before i wiped data and cache...now watch dont wanna boot,just the moving dots move forever....any ideas?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] arthos7:
I'm searching for wear supersu 2.52. Does anybody knows where to get it or how to do it?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
The latest 'stable' release of SuperSU is still 2.46, why would you need 2.52?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] arthos7:
There's a mod needed to use supersu 2.52. But I figured it out, just strip out supersu.apk from supersu2.52.zip and done just as you told before for the wear supersu 2.46. Yet the mod still doesn't work though. Hey, are you still using the smartwatch 3?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I am :cool:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] daveyp187:

TWRP flashable MM delta update. Works even if you have rooted the device, it will unroot it though.

I still need to fix a SuperSU package for MM.

[MENTION=1677398]lohtse[/MENTION] You need a new SuperSU for MM. Restore the SW3 with PC Companion, you will return to LP with that, then fastboot boot TWRP and flash the package I created.

You will have MM but with the fastboot boot option still working :cool:

EDIT: this does not work any more, PC Companion now flashes MM!

[Sony Smartwatch 3] craigcharlie:
Hi NUT,

I just tried the PC Companion and it told me it was going to update to MEC24H... so I assume I don't want to do that if I want to be able to keep flashable TWRP, right?

thanks,

Charlie
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Correct, best is to wait for a fixed supersu package.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
While tinkering with supersu to get it to work, I noticed something...

I know it's true for the LCA43 bootloader: it allows booting custom kernels, it won't allow you to fastboot flash it, but it will accept booting it when you flash it to the boot partition using a tool like dd to write it directly to the boot partition ...

Man, this LCA43 bootloader is so open it starts to be shameful for Google :o
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I'm afraid SuperSU 2.65 needs a patch for Android Wear, I have not been able to fix it so far.

I'm trying to contact [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] to discuss it, will now try to fix it using the latest BETA, just to see what happens with that..

EDIT: 2.71 does not work either, so I posted a logcat for Chainfire to inspect.

From what he told me, I have no hope it will be fixed any time soon as Android Wear does not have any priority on all the other stuff he is currently doing.

We will have to live with MM without root until he or the new SuperSU dev team fixes it.

Hello,

I don't even know if I'm in the right forum for this post. I have a CF18 smartwatch.

Would it be possible to root this watch or at least use LADB on it?

Of course it's only Bluetooth. Hope that doesn't make any difference.

At this point I don't even know how to get any other apps on this watch because the owner's manual does not show how.

Thanks for any help.
