They're rolling it out to ALL devices. In their announcement the other day, they didn't specify any particular device therefore it's all of them. Rollouts can just take awhile unfortunately though.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Beeko:
I still can't update from the last one that they pushed on account of TWRP. Anyone know how to install OTA with TWRP installed?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sandman01:

did you find an 5.1.1 OTA rom ready for beeing flashed by TWRP?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Beeko:
They pushed an update a couple months back and since I have twrp I guess it doesn't want to install.

any way to trick the companion app into thinking you are located in the uk?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] senectus:
My understanding is that its less based on geolocation but more based on hardware batches.

Because batches of hardware tend to get sold to specific geolocations , people tend to think that certain regions are getting it first. When in fact they're managing the roll out by telling the systems to push updates out to batches XXXX01 to XXXX04, then when the deamnd on resources drops they'll open it up to batches XXXX01 to XXXX08

etc etc etc

One question, i´m not sure about the WLAN function, as far as i can see the watch is not connected to my network...but i think this is managed from the android wear app, right?

There is no option for that, even with newest app version... :(
[Sony Smartwatch 3] psybill:
You have to enable "cloud sync" option from android wear app on your phone. Then all the wifi networks on your phone will sync with your watch.

I also had some problems after sideloading the update but I did a factory reset and now everything works as it should.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] TheeDesecrator:
I think the watch connects to WiFi only when it loses Bluetooth connection with your phone. It is an option you'll have to enable. Then you'll see it activate after you lose direct connection with your phone.

.....and the wrist gestures to flick through cards are brilliant too, once you get the hang of it.

The only thing they don't seem to have sorted with the flicks is the gmail, it adds +1 more, or +2 more etc and you can't flick through each email with a wrist gesture.

Easiest way to switch to usiing wifi is to turn off Bluetooth on the phone, then it kicks in - when you swipe down on the watch you'll see a little WiFi sign next to the battery life remaining, showing you it's connected - too early to say how it's going to affect battery life, somehow I think it's going to be a big hit on it if left on.

Damnit, this update killed my precious SW3 :crying:

I performed the update, according to the guide linked to this topic... and then, bootloop, only showing the Sony logo (and nothing else!).

The device will not let itself be turned off and is heating up like mad... I tried everything I possibly could, but no more fastboot, adb or anything else left to try...

The dang thing was only 16 days old :crying:

R.I.P. SW3 Mark 1, I hope the shop who sold it to me will do a DOA swap, because I got quite attached to having it already :(
[Sony Smartwatch 3] admisi:
You could try installing The Sony Companion software on PC then connect watch to PC with USB and invoke a repair ( I assume you have held the button down a long long time to see if it shuts off?)

On the watch, go to Settings, Accessibility, Magnification Gestures and activate it. Whenever you tap 3 times on the watch screen it magnifies, tap 3 times again to go back to normal.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] rvirga:
A couple of suggestions:

- Pressing and holding the power button usually forces a power off even when the device is bootlooping

- Try turning off bluetooth on the phone, to see if the problem is really with the watch

A couple of months ago my SW3 started bootlooping and overheating. Upon further investigation, I determined that the watch was fine by itself, but it started acting crazy as soon as it connected to the phone. I still don't know what was wrong, but resetting the phone fixed it.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Moscow Desire:
That's the "asserts" line in the zip's updater script checking to ensure you have the correct build installed to match. Generally you can remove a couple of the check asserts lines in the updater script (usually find them in the beginning), and it'll install. Provided it doesn't check asserts on all the system files and apps. That's indicative of a 'patch' update instead of a 'full' update.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Moscow Desire:
Dang dude :crying: You try popping the case and pulling the battery? At least that 'might' let it boot back in recovery and hopefully flash an older version full Rom. I suspect what's available is a patch Rom.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
Well, your suggestions are welcome but useless to me, because usually, you would be seeing the Sony logo and then see it replaced with the 'SmartWatch 3' product name, it didn't even do this anymore...

In the mean time the battery has run out of juice and I already contacted the shop to have it returned...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] sandman01:
Ohh no, that sounds horrible

So is the watch already running out of battery? (let it get completely empty until the boot loops stops)

without adb, fastboot it gets really complicated to communicate with the device.

BTW pressing and holding the power button do not always shut down my SW3, face that issue at the beginning when I'd like to boot into recovery when I made some mistakes that sometimes the Watch do not reboot when I pressed the power button for a long time (screen wake up was working ==> not a defect of the button)

Thanks God my update is working strait through all the steps (only have some adb driver issues at the beginning
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
It is a patch indeed, you need to be on a specific version of the previous update for it to work.

I'm not even going to try and pop the back, I know it's held on by screws, but I didn't want to risk voiding warranty.

I so miss my precious SW3 :crying:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Moscow Desire:
Well, that saves me the task of unzipping and checking. I've got the LWX49K. No sense of me even trying. Dang patch updates.......

Good luck with the return mate. Shouldn't be an issue seeing it's 16 days old. Might wanna let the battery rundown like the other chap suggested. See if it will boot recovery.

Can't get this to work, follow instructions to the letter, it opens the location of the update zip when I type in location in cmd as instructed but then when I type "adb sideload filename.zip" in the next command line, it says cannot read file. It's got me stumped.

You have to copy the dowloaded file to the ADB install folder ( default is : program files(x86)/Minimal ADB and Fastboot/ )

You have to rename the dowloaded file (Ex: SW3.zip) and then type "adb sideload SW3.zip"
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lcompare:
Cool!!! thanks! that worked fine for me
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Grant-59:
Thanks Dougie, I'll give that a go but I'm sure I tried something like that already. I put the downloaded zip file into the adb folder and renamed it then put the location into the cmd line but it just came back with some gobildy gook. Thanks any way. I will try again later.

[MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION]

I just had a quick skim through the update file, and it seems to update the bootloader (and 'patch' the kernel). It's likely that this is what bricked your device? It seems like they run u-boot, and that's responsible (just checking the output of strings on the img file) for running the fastboot protocol

EDIT: If you plug in your watch when it's off, and run lsusb, do you see an entry for

Bus 002 Device 032: ID 0a5c:eb20 Broadcom Corp.

appear? This might be the ROM bootloader on the watch... More interestingly, if you just hold down the power button forever, does it appear as

Bus 002 Device 052: ID 0fce:adde Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB C2005 (Xperia M dual) in service mode

I just tested on mine, and this seems to put it into Flash Mode (much like a normal Xperia, as opposed to Fastboot)

Thanks to all who made suggestions how to fix, seeing my device work like new again made me realize why I love XDA's community so much :D

Now I can actually cancel the RMA request I already did :eek:

-- I forgot the 'how' edit --

The device did shut itself down after the battery ran down to almost zero, after that I was able to get in to flashmode, fastboot and recovery modes again. Restored the broken ROM by using PC Companion and then installed the update using the built in recovery.

Downloading in Sweden. Resetting the watch without forgetting it in Android Wear did nothing for me.

You have to manually make Android Wear forget the watch and then reset the watch. In Android Wear > Press the cog wheel at the top > Press the name of the watch at the top > Press "FORGET WATCH" at the bottom. Now reset the watch from its Settings menu, pair it with Android Wear like before, and then update the watch manually. That's when it started downloading the update straight away.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I can confirm this, that's what happened to mine as well.

Sony's SW3 clearly has Flashmode, Fastboot and recovery, where flashmode is the default mode when connecting the usb cable to the PC.

It's basically an Xperia in a tiny package without a FOTA partition and including a regular recovery partition... :cowboy:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] qingtest:
15% error fail

I tried rename the package, but still stuck in error of 15%.

A rename shouldn't solve the problem. The flashing already go 15% which means name is not the problem.

As I guessed the problem of TWRP and root. Then I give a try.

I tried factory reset and re-flash the rom (unrooted) to 5.0.2. Still failed.

I then return to stock recovery (where I downloaded from here) of 48P. I don't know if the recovery version of 5.0.1 not 5.0.2 is a reason for fail..... yes fail again, but now it stopped at about 54% and I know it is some verification error (pic)

I get stumped. There is not much I can test further. I need to wait for the official update or someone 's kind share (rom or 5.0.2 recovery). ;(
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mertzi:

Waiting for mine to come through OTA rather than sideloading - reset the watch twice today, nothing yet.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Mobius-1:
Hi, I had the same problem with my watch. Turns out the problem was that I sideloaded 5.0.2 and the rom had debug keys instead of release keys (or something like that) leading to a returned error "status code 7", with both the official OTA and the 5.1.1 update zip that I sideloaded. What I did was download the Sony PC companion, installed it, forced it to reinstall 5.0.2 on the watch, then sideloaded the 5.1.1 rom, and then factory reset if it isn't finding your phone properly (mine didn't at first).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUT]:
I'm at 87% (13% down from 100%) since I took it from the charger this morning.

From 8:00 'till 15:00 makes it 7 hours on battery, which equates to roughly 1.86% an hour. Numbers are not exact, but can't vary much more then 15 minutes.

I've used it to try some of the new features, the back-light has been on for about 30 minutes in total, been using WiFi connectivity a bit (an hour or so) and tried the new maps feature.

Ergo: I think your watch might indeed have needed a factory reset, just to clear issues with the apps you might have installed before the update, like watch faces... In any case, that 83% in 12h is not normal :p
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tu3218:
What battery percent should we be at to download the update? I'd imagine our watches have to be above a certain percentage to pull down the download.

Side note, I did receive and Android Wear APP update this morning. Hopefully that helps me to pull the update.
