well.. i installed twrp with no prob. but when tried to boot up, it wont start to watchmode, but will go to twrp. this had happened to me since yest. so what i did was just flash the system, boot, and the normal recovery which i got from another thread.

by the way, i havent tested the wifi yet, is there a way we can get the wifi mac address for this watch? :D my lan uses mac filtering, thus need to register this mac add. hahaha :p
[LG G Watch R] LeeDroid:
Ah I'm following.. at least your sorted mate..

You can get the Mac address in settings - Wi-Fi - advanced ?
[LG G Watch R] deejay6901:
got it! wifi works!! awesome! :)
[LG G Watch R] LeeDroid:
Voice & all connectivity over Wi-Fi is also functioning perfectly
[LG G Watch R] deejay6901:
so what can we do with this wifi feature? :D
[LG G Watch R] LeeDroid:
If your out of Bluetooth range, your gwatch connects to Wi-Fi to communicate with your phone ?
[LG G Watch R] mattinglis:
Thanks for your hard work, its awesome.

Out of interest, not sure if its just me, but in the android wear app my watch shows as Urbane, but the image is still GWR. Anyone else notice this?

Its hardly a problem, just noticed it.
[LG G Watch R] tavella:
I've been playing with this for a little while today. I've gone all the way back to stock 5.1.1 and I believe the issue is the boot.img provided in the OP. My current configuration is the stock recovery, stock boot, and urbane port rom. This combination succesfully bootted while the bootloader is in a locked or unlocked state. After the initial boot, I paired the watch with my phone and it appears to be working. I'll flash the latest intersect kernel once the watch finishes syncing.

** Update **

I pulled the latest wifi.multi.boot.img from http://xdaforums.com/g-watch-r/orig-development/kernel-intersectravens-kernel-t2957728 and the watch booted right up with wifi enabled. Many thanks to everyone who worked on putting this together!
[LG G Watch R] Koopa777:
Uninstall and reinstall the app.
[LG G Watch R] Pfeffernuss:
Best advice of the day, thanks! :good:
[LG G Watch R] obtained:
My image shows Urbane. Maybe tell the android wear app to forget the watch and start over?
[LG G Watch R] Koopa777:
Something's wrong. That's a SERIOUS issue. If your watch hits zero battery then you are totally screwed, because the GWAR is incapable of charging unless the kernel is booted (recovery or system).

Can you enter fastboot before it bootloops?

Does anyone have issues if they are NOT using TWRP? Booting issues might be related to TWRP, and not the bootloader lock.
[LG G Watch R] obtained:
At the LG logo, if you swipe down from about the 52 second position to the 23 second position it should take you into fastboot.

Edit: I should have probably quoted someone else.
[LG G Watch R] lion567:
IMO this bootloop is neither TWRP nor bootloader issue. It's seems to be a kernel issue. I've installed most of intersectRaven's kernels, latest kernels starting from 20150602_23XX has this issue, 20150602_08XX and earlier - don't. This issue exist when i user above mentioned kernels with stock ROM(with or without WiFi mod) and with Urbane port. For me bootloop is observed only when watches boot on the charger. If i connect them to PC USB port, watches booted successfully.

And yes, I can enter fastboot mode with diagonal swipe on LG logo, but if i then press start - i have a bootloop.

Bootloader lock doesn't resolve this issue.
[LG G Watch R] Pfeffernuss:
Correct, same here. Latest kernel:

Watch on charger: bootloop, every time.

Watch off charger: boots fine.

Flash older kernel: boots fine.
[LG G Watch R] racrickey:
Ok I need some help. Every time I try fastboot flash system system.img I keep getting "C:\Windows\system32>C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash system system.img

error: cannot load 'system.img'"

I have everything updated and I am rooted. Anyone have any ideas?
[LG G Watch R] enel_:
It's not that serious, I start charging my watch, LG logo appears, swipe into fastboot, wait 2-3 minutes, in that time it charges 2-5%, disconnect it from the charger, choose power off in fastboot, turn it on normal, it boots normal with 2-5% battery and finally I connect it to the charger and it charges normal.

I'm on stock 5.1.1 with intersectRaven kernel. Don't have the time these days to play with my watch and flash Lees ROM.

Still, this behavior is really strange, it could be intersectRavens kernel.
[LG G Watch R] drmacrofish:
Might be a kinda silly question, but I assume you moved the system.img file to your adb/fastboot folder location right?
[LG G Watch R] MyronJ906:
So just to be clear, you're on intersectRavens kernel and stock rom and having the same issue? If so, I would also guess it's the kernel. It will also keep me using this ROM instead of going back pure stock lol

BUT just on the off chance that me watch does die, how do I swipe into Fastboot? I'm new to Android Wear tinkering

EDIT: Just went back a page and caught up on the posts and I found my answer.

1. This DOES appear to be a kernel issue according to other users

2. to swipe into Fastboot, swipe on the LG logo from about 53 second position to 32 second position (or something like that)

3. Watch will charge in Fastboot

Just thought I'd get that info in one post for others
[LG G Watch R] obtained:
Is system.img in the same directory as your fastboot?
[LG G Watch R] enel_:
Yep, stock 5.1.1 + intersectRavens 20150607_09XX single core kernel. Not the latest kernel, the one before.

You got your answers ?. Swiping into fastboot, it's dead simple, when the LG logo appears just swipe from the uper left corner diagonally into the lower right corner, that's all. A circle does not have corners but you know what I mean ?
[LG G Watch R] racrickey:
Yes sir
[LG G Watch R] obtained:
Open the directory your fastboot is in, hold shift + right click inside the directory, and click "Open command window here" then try "fastboot flash system system.img"
[LG G Watch R] racrickey:
Damn you are good!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
[LG G Watch R] obtained:
Just glad it was easy enough for you to follow my directions. :)
[LG G Watch R] racrickey:
I have the system.img in like 4 different folders. Just couldn't get it to work all day. If you where in CT I would buy you a beer!
[LG G Watch R] LeeDroid:
Type the command and drag the .img into the cmd window matey "fastboot flash system " then drop it in.

Looks like I was a little late off the mark
[LG G Watch R] intersectRaven:
For those who like me don't want to flash a non-stock recovery to use this (which I think is very rare :p), here're the steps I used:

1.) If you're unlocked, skip step 1.

2.) Unlock bootloader

3.) Boot to bootloader

4.) Format the cache and userdata partitions

fastboot format cache

fastboot format userdata

5.) Optionally you could also format the system directory

fastboot format system

6.) Flash the ROM images

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

7.) If you want to update the kernel there're 2 choices:

A. Use non-wifi kernel (single, dual or multi AND requires TWRP recovery installed):

a.1.) Download the kernel of your choice

a.2.) Flash kernel

fastboot flash boot single.boot.img

OR

fastboot flash boot dual.boot.img

OR

fastboot flash boot multi.boot.img

a.3.) Reboot bootloader just to be safe

fastboot reboot-bootloader

a.4.) Boot to TWRP recovery from bootloader

a.5.) Flash Tasssadar's MOD

a.6.) Reboot

B. Use new wifi.multi kernel:

b.1.) Download

b2.) Flash kernel

fastboot flash boot wifi.multi.boot.img

b.3.) Reboot

fastboot reboot

8.) Re-pair your watch! :fingers-crossed:
[LG G Watch R] kscasper13:
So i got this up and running just fine. However when i set it up for the 1st time, i flashed [MENTION=2425314]intersectRaven[/MENTION] newest wifi-multi boot.img instead of the stock boot.img that Lee included. I can't seem to get voice to work at all over wifi. It just goes to "disconnected" screen after any voice search eventhough it's connected to my wifi. I've reset the watch and the app, and setup again with no luck. Everything else seems just fine, except my wifi tests. Anyone else?
[LG G Watch R] LeeDroid:
Cracking little guide mate ?

Will update the op when I get 5.. new ota on the M9.. going to be dreaming about smali tonight
[LG G Watch R] LeeDroid:
Just tested on my standard setup and working without issue, will do some further tests with the new wifi kernel when I get chance & see if I can figure it out.

Test steps..

1. disable Bluetooth

2. put phone in the next room to make sure it doesn't activate its self

3. "ok google, call 123"

Result.. my phone called the speaking clock
[LG G Watch R] philow:
Correct on this ROM. As [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] has already modded this.
[LG G Watch R] kscasper13:
yeah everything seems okay now, don't know what was going on earlier. Maybe my watch was syncing something when i was trying earlier. who knows. thanks bud
[LG G Watch R] drmacrofish:
Exactly what I did earlier tonight. Haven't flashed a different kernel yet though. Probably gonna try the new multi one.

Thanks OP for getting this going. Working flawlessly for me.
[LG G Watch R] AndiTails:
New multi kernel out with potential fix for the bootloop low-battery on-charge bug:

http://intersectraven.euroskank.com/kernels/G Watch R/3.10.0/20150612_08XX/wifi.multi.boot.img
[LG G Watch R] Pfeffernuss:
Nope, LG logo, LG logo, LG logo, LG logo. Does not boot when on charger :rolleyes:
[LG G Watch R] drewstiff:
Yep I had this same issue. My battery had completely run down to zero overnight and when I put it on the charger it kept bootlooping until I removed it from the charger for long enough for it to pass whichever point(s) of the boot phase it didn't like.
[LG G Watch R] AndiTails:
Ah well, I'm sure they'll figure it out.

It's not difficult to get around, currently.
[LG G Watch R] Pfeffernuss:
True, flash older kernel (+ wifi fix), done :)
[LG G Watch R] AndiTails:
Battery life is far better with the newer kernel.

I meant, either:

Charge your watch using a computer USB connection, not wall socket

On the LG symbol, tap 10 and 4 o'clock to get into the Recovery, then let it charge for a few minutes. Remove from charger and let it reboot. Wait until booted, and place back on charger.

Or just don't run it completely flat in the first place ;)

I had connection reliability issues (WiFi and Bluetooth) with the older kernel + flashed Wifi mod.

It's far more stable with the latest kernel with baked in Wifi and an unmolested Urbane system.
[LG G Watch R] Pfeffernuss:
I am. Bootloop city it is :good:

Will flash newest wifi kernel then, see how battery life is :cool:
[LG G Watch R] seatownhokie:
Weirdest thing - I was just reading over other things people tried, and when I flashed the stock 5.1.1 recovery via flashboot - it booted up just fine and I'm on Urbane now. So, those who are doing everything right, but reboot to TWRP every time I would suggest trying that.

I think I will retry it again doing all the wiping via flashboot and not using TWRP at all. That seems to be the main issue.
[LG G Watch R] AndiTails:
Well, then do one of the other two options instead, then! ;)

Looks like TWRP might be the culprit with this. You could give the standard recovery a go (flash from fastboot).
[LG G Watch R] seatownhokie:
THIS! Thank you! I redid everything tonight with these instructions (no TWRP, back to stock recovery) and I am up and running the first time.

Also thanks to [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION] for this ROM. Keep up the good work!
[LG G Watch R] AndiTails:
Instructions all in one place.

Download the ROM from the OP.

Download the latest wifi.multi.boot.img from here.

Reboot your watch to the bootloader (tap 10 & 4 o'clock on LG logo)

Check your watch can be seen by your computer by typing

fastboot devices

If all good, you can continue!

This will assume you've got the system.img files in the right directory. If not, or unsure, write everything up to the filename, leave a space, and click and drag the file into the command prompt window for the full directory and filename to be added to the command.

fastboot oem unlock
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot format system
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot wifi.multi.boot.img
fastboot reboot

Remove from cradle to ensure you don't get a bootloop on the LG screen. You can replace if you need do when the graphics and swirling boot animation is happening. Or just make sure watch has plenty of charge before you start this.

First boot takes a few minutes.

Pair it up as a brand new "Urbane, Black Edition" :)

Optional steps (do before reboot) - download original 5.1.1 recovery from here and flash it using the command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[LG G Watch R] anko184:
Another plus is that now it shows the charging animation when on charger.. ;)
[LG G Watch R] pctelco:

[LG G Watch R] edgeball:

[LG G Watch R] AndiTails:

[LG G Watch R] starbase64:
I can't see apps like watchmaker etc on the watch.

Sync is OK but no apps in app drawer.

Su installer has always force close.
[LG G Watch R] drmacrofish:
Guys I really think a lot of people who are having issues here are having those problems related to TWRP. I did not install the custom recovery and just used stock and had no issues what so ever. Sure I did not make a nandroid, but who cares here. It is just a watch with only a few apps and I can download and install stock if needed very easily here. Just something to think about.
[LG G Watch R] AndiTails:
What have you added to get su on there?

I don't see why it would ever be needed.

Don't flash it from TWRP.

Suggest you follow my post a few pages above, and start again.
[LG G Watch R] AndiTails:
If you mean the LG Pulse app, works fine here...
[LG G Watch R] edgeball:
No, Pulse works but when I go to set the Actions I can choose LG Health for "Start a bike ride" and "Start a run".

The icon shows a Person walking (or running?), similar design to the Pulse with a green background
[LG G Watch R] geeor:
At first time i flashed my watch, i had also some issues. like big letters and unstable wifi support.

So i flash a second time with data wipe and now is everything fine.

I recommend a data wipe by flashing the images.

[LG G Watch R] persichini:
Ok so here is a question. I've been following this thread because i'm about to buy The LG G Watch R to be able to use the Wifi feature. but here is my question. the main time i would use the wifi is when i leave my phone in the car with my wife and kids and run into Homedepot, Target, etc.. so i can still get messages from my wife like... can you also get. But I've read that on public Wifi where a acceptance of terms via webpage is needed there is no go way to do this on android wear yet. is that accurate?
[LG G Watch R] LeeDroid:
Excellent! Thought it was kernel related when digging through the code ?
[LG G Watch R] PJcastaldo:
I use Android wear browser to open a page and accept terms
[LG G Watch R] persichini:
was there any special setup you needed to do or does it just work?

do you have to sign in every time you go connect to the same hotspot?
[LG G Watch R] kaisarito:
I was checking the Sleep As Android integration page and saw something interesting, The LG G Watch R is listed as the device with the highest sensor batch queue with 1500 events, while the urbane is at 1000. Any idea why? one would think they would be the same. [MENTION=398245]LeeDroid[/MENTION]
[LG G Watch R] edgeball:
Sleep as Android didn't work for me last night. It didn't record anything. But that might explain it....

---------- Post added at 21:31 ---------- Previous post was at 21:28 ----------

oh, and another thing is that Google Fit doesn't automatically record me cycling anymore. Looks like a sensor issue too
[LG G Watch R] LeeDroid:
Both interesting, the sensors work as they should, steps are tracked, will have to do some more digging.

Especially interested in the urbane having different cycles as its supposed to be identical internally, wonder if they turned it down to preserve power
[LG G Watch R] seymour_butts:
hey... can we flash the latest updated kernel? if so, just flash the wifi.multi.boot.img ?
[LG G Watch R] kscasper13:
yup, i did about 20 mins ago. charging animation works now. The charger boot loop still happens. just reboot to bootloader, flash boot.img, reboot. make sure you take it off the charger before you reboot
[LG G Watch R] CitizenInsane:
Wifi Login

Firstly, thanks for the mod. I'm using the old wifi mod, and I look forward to trying this one out.

Does anyone know if there's a way to connect to PEAP wifi networks? For example, at my university, the wifi network requires a username and a password.

Right now, if I try to add a new network, I'm not able to configure it properly on my phone. For the security options, it gives me none, WEP, or WPA2.

Is this just a limitation of Android Wear itself?

Thanks!
[LG G Watch R] deejay6901:
the password will be set on your phone. some other phones doesnt have peap authentication.

---------- Post added at 07:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 AM ----------

anyone noticed or have encountered here that the mac address on the watch keeps on changing? mine did. as the mac address is hardcoded in my wifi router for security. somehow the last 6 digits of the watch's mac address keeps on changing.
[LG G Watch R] CitizenInsane:
My phone has no issue connecting to PEAP enabled wifi... And I can enter the password on my phone FOR my watch as you're referring to, but it won't give me an option to give my username for the network as well.

For what it's worth, the wifi hotspot itself I want to connect to does not even show up. Wasn't sure if this was fixed in this port or just an Android Wear issue.
[LG G Watch R] cybermungo:
A little off topic : is it possible to use adb and/or fastboot commands from a note 3 to an gwr which is connected via otg cable?

[LG G Watch R] edgeball:
Google fit works fine again since I updated the kernel and also did a data reset.
[LG G Watch R] jyesucevitz:
the answer is in the very 1st post

Installation:

1. unlock your bootloader

2. Flash the latest TWRP custom recovery image.

3. Nandroid backup your current install

4. Wipe your cache & dalvik-cache

5. Reboot to bootloader

6. fastboot flash system system.img

7. fastboot flash boot boot.img

8. fastboot reboot

9. ENJOY!

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

confirmed.

I let my battery die completely and was stuck in the loop as described. unfortunately I didn't have enough battery to boot before charging and leaving out charging during the boot loop leads to a good watch.

work around its to activate recovery mode by swiping from upper left to lower right when the boot screen first turns on and letting a charge build there.

from reading through other parts and my own experience today, this sounds like a kernel configuration issue, perhaps some usb debug or console option that is blocked when the boot loader is locked

It seems that I have some issue with BT connectivity. After moving to this rom, I've started to experience "freezes" in data sync between my phone and watch when using endomondo. Initially it works as usual and then after some ten minutes or so, watch skips the beat and stays on "hold" for some 5-10minutes, not updating the info on screen, while everything keeps on going on the phone... and then after some time period it comes back. Never happened before with stock rom :(
[LG G Watch R] The Great Dane:
Personally not using Endomondo but haven't had any issues at all with my connection. I would advise you to go to settings/factory reset. And reset it. Then start all over with pairing and installing. Could be enough to solve your issues

I also had connection problems initially on top of alignment problems. In the OP it doesn't really state to do a factory reset but that's what helped me too. After that the ROM was rock solid.

Is there an solution for this? I'm in the same boat. for other devices (e.g., Nexus 5), I had to get a custom kernel. Any idea if is possible for GWR?
