[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nopcodex90:
Coming from a Nexus 6

I was originally onboard when it come to the whole "root" issue, but to be honest like many people have said before, rooting isn't all that its cracked up to be now. Look at my history, I have been a developer since the Samsung Vibrant. Like most things, we were trying to squeeze every single CPU cycle we could out of the 1.1ghz single core processor. Like many other hackers, I am not sweating it because I have 8 cores running like crazy now. There isn't any lag that I can see, even with encryption. Lollipop has some really insane features baked into it now, with APM built in also. Do yourself a favor, love the phone for what it is and what we can expect ( aside from timely updates cause AT&T ). The first two things that I purchased and installed were:

Adguard - https://adguard.com/en/welcome.html : Do yourself a favor and spend the few bucks on the premium version.

Package Disabler Pro - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro

Material Theme From Samsung Themes store - Sort of like the Nexus 6 default style

My phone is blazing and Ad free. It does suck that we cannot recoup on the space taken by the disabled packages but oh well. Once Samsung Pay works with Wells Fargo, I assure you I will be so happy that we couldn't root. If anyone has any problems setting up either of the packages above, shoot me a PM and I can walk you through it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] seh6183:
Xposed alone single handedly kills your "rooting isn't all that its cracked up to be now" argument. Getting rid of the annoying "A LOUD VOLUME MAY BLOW YOUR EAR DRUMS" everytime I try to turn up the volume past 75% after a reboot is ridiculous and something you can't get rid of without root. PDP is cool and all, but like you said it doesn't actually uninstall the apps, it only freezes them. Adguard is also nice but unfortunately you have a permanent notification shade item that can't be removed.

Also flashing a deodexed, zip aligned, truly debloated rom with build prop edits, is sooo much better than the stock rom with just apps disabled. Custom roms also have things such as all apps allowed as floating, which is the way it should be. Custom kernels are also an amazing feature that you can't access without root. I have a completely converted filesystem (f2fs) and a custom kernel that blows away the performance and battery life of the stock kernel.

This is why I will never buy anything from AT&T ever again for the rest of my life. I am pissed I even have to pay them for my phone lines each month. I buy my own phones, usually from T-Mobile, and I suggest you all do the same from now on if you want root and actual control of your personal property that you paid hundreds of dollars for. It should be against the law for them to lock these phones down. Imagine if you bought a car and the hood was welded shut. It's a shame I have lost my warranty and samsung pay, but I think the benefits greatly outweigh the sacrifices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Vegeta1977:
This is the first phone I haven't rooted since the HTC hero and I haven't missed it. These new phones are so powerful it's not that vital anymore. Just my 2 cents tho
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] perXway1:
Yeah since nexus brand hasn't really came out with a phone I love since the 5, I think I'm gonna come over to the note and just be done worrying about root

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
The N920A isn't vulnerable to that due to SEAndroid (which currently can't be disabled without rooting first.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] borisb:
No root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] hnic32:
Well i was just like you guys, AT&T Note 5 64gb, (Also had the AT&T Note 4.). I use to have T-Mobile Prepaid when the Note 3 first came out, had been a loyal customer of theirs for years til i got tired of the lousy service when i travel, and i travel on the road quite a lot. So about this time att gophone plan started the unlimited talk, text with 2 gb's of data for $60 (i think they started that in July 2013, which was huge at the time because up until that point their prepaid plans were high as opposed to T-Mobile and others and this time. So i switched to att, unlocked my t-mobile note 3 with region lock away app, put my att sim in and boom it was working. So when i upgraded to the note 4 i said i would ge a att one, as dont finance phones, i just buy them from the money i save using att gophone ($54.00/month for my 5gb plan on gophone with discount code from callmart.com, sweet!!) I was cool when i found out that att wasn't letting us root the note 4(we could for the note 3) I've always felt like i was missing something not being able to root like i could with my t-mobile phones. I only like to remove bloatware when I root, no custom roms for me, but i remained loyal. Note 5 comes out and what, i buy an att one. Once again NO ROOT! I tried to deal with it yet again. Livin with the ability to only disable some apps, limited use of greenify, no xposed framework. Then I come to xda and read and it just got even more depressed!! then i would go over to the att note 4 threads and see how they are coming along, AND BOOM, NOTHING! So i couldn't do it anymore, I sold the att note 5, and purchased me a t-mobile galaxy note 5 64gb in gold, SWEET! Let me tell you, it's a party over there in the tmobile note 5 threads. They are rooting, fixing writing to the phone which is definitely needed, custom roms, custom recoveries, bloatware removal. I mean its great. I forgot how fun it was to root. They are on there like 4th firmware update, where att had none!!! If you buy your phone, you should be able to do what u want to your phone, period! I tired to be loyal to the att brand as far as phones go, but enough is enough! I will continue to use the services as the service is great and the price is too, but i will use their service on tmobile phones for as long as att keep the bootloader locked and tmobile doesn't. It's been fun guys but i see no hope for the ones who do want to root for whatever reason. it's your choice. For the ones who don't then this is where you need to be, but all others who want the freedom to root, free yourself. Don't continue to buy their products if you don't like the product (i don't think anyone buys a car they don't like!) I we start to show att that we don't want your product because it is substandard to other carrier phones, we might make them start to think about the policy they now have in place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Nopcodex90:
I know it's probably not accurate but you're sent from signature really gave me a laugh after reading what you posted here. I mean you are absolutely right and your points are valid, but what I am saying really is that it's not as bad as back when I started hacking the Samsung Vibrant. We really had to squeeze every CPU cycle out of the poor little thing due to Sammy not giving a ****.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] c-prodigo:
I think the choice of rooting should be ours, in the mean time I am able of using note 5 and G6 themes on note 4 from T-mobile, and it runs almost like a note 5 thanks to rooting :)

hey guys don't take from me but i just did Iroot and it seems to finally worked with rooting below is the link try it out i will post screenshots once i update the SuperSU.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] wp4jot:
Does NOT work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] mmjs14:
yes correct just figured that out :(, However this may be a step in the right direction because before trying methods adding to another thread using ODIN. SUPERSU installed but once you try to open the app the first message would say is your (your device isnt rooted) and the app would exit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Venom0642:
Got to agree with you on this , so no one try this you might end up with brick phone.

So many false positives.. Eventually something has to stick... Maybe...

Now I am in tests and tomorrow I leave a feed-back of the new version.

Thanks.

I download Bits Watch Face from Play Store and I am testing with the new Android Wear LCA43.

For first impression Bits Watch Face is awsome, I like it, very cool.
[LG G Watch] mase94:
What was your flash-process?

Unlocked/locked Bootloader? Stock Firmware?

My adb sideload command always breaks things at 61% with an "Installation Aborted" (Error 7) when it is verifying the Image.

Thanks for your help :)
[LG G Watch] almmpt:
My flash process is adb sideload eefea3292b364b67db746dc4131713605b8e8f76.signed-platina-LCA43-from-LDZ22D.eefea329.zip

Previously I am in pure stock with locked bootloader, and I flash the new LCA43 with windows 10.

When I flashed it stops two or three minutes in 61% than I continues to 100% without any breaks.

I think you must wait at 61% until process continues.

Try flashing it with another usb port for example.
[LG G Watch] freshlysqueezed:
FYI

The old technique of forcing an ota update still works for a stock watch: Make sure you have the latest android wear app.

1. Reset the watch from settings

2. On the phone, erase the data from the android wear app.

3. Connect the watch to the app

After the watch syncs, it will ask if you want to update.
[LG G Watch] JaceAlvejetti:
I have tried, flashing stock and sideloading, no dice, reflashing stock and locking bootloader then sideloading, again no dice, unlocking flashong stock once more relocking and trying ota, nothing flashes when ota tries to flash the lint gets to 15-25% theb flips to the dead Android for around 30-60 seconds before rebooting.

i tried multiple cables, pcs and operating systems (win7-10 linux Ubuntu and debian) and multiple downloads from seperate sources, nothing seems to want to give me this update..

Any help would be appreciated
[LG G Watch] ruben46_:
Thank you,it works

I have the new Android Wear 1.3 flashed at 28 hours ago and for now i am loving the new faces, and i like the battery optimization, in my case it consumes only 0.89% battery in one hour.

I have the screen off and micro off with an application.

LG G Watch have a new stable upgrade in my opinion.
[LG G Watch] khanfed:
Hi. What do you mean by micro off ?

Do you also keep fit off ?
[LG G Watch] Visegrad:
Tried this twice, stock with bootloader locked and both times it comes up with the dead android and reboots. Not sure what's wrong.

Sent from my Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
[LG G Watch] EpicLPer:
Did for me right now too. Maybe try to boot into recovery mode and flash it via ADB sideload.
[LG G Watch] almmpt:
For the user that ask me I mute the mic with an apk "mute wear mic" that I download, I think that is free.

I upgrade my to 1.3 with adb sideload command and it work at the first shoot.
[LG G Watch] steso90:
I have also ended up with the dead android and tried both sideloading and the regular installing from watch. Tried with restoring the watch to stock and locked the bootloader but I am still ending up with a dead Android image then reboot..
[LG G Watch] Visegrad:
Yeah, it's weird. It's like I've lost recovery. I have flashed back to stock, locked the bootloader and try to go to recovery, dead android. unlocked bootloader, try to go to recovery from bootloader... dead android. I have used the restore tool to push recovery image on, everything says it went fine, try any method to get to recovery...dead android. I was able to flash the Mysterious Magic rom back on via his script with no issues, so not sure where the disconnect is, but for now I will stick with the rom since the battery life is great with that.
[LG G Watch] JanusDC:
I've tried everything with no luck, LCA43 doesn't want to be installed on my watch.

I got the OTA, but when I press install it start installing until more or less the middle of the progress bar and then I get a dead android. I downloaded the OTA to do a sideload but it gets aborted at 61%. I formatted all the partitions and flashed the official images of LDZ22D, then tried both methods, with the same result.

Does anyone have the link to the official img? Because the OTA doesn't seem to work for me.
[LG G Watch] EpicLPer:
It's not "aborted" at 61% (or does it say Aborted?), only takes a long freaking time till it hits 100% from then on. Just wait 5 minutes or so once you see 61% on your CMD window.

Also I posted the update in a separate thread here, I think under General.
[LG G Watch] hugoprh:
If I boot into recovery, I get the dead android, and ADB can't see my device when this happens, so I can't sideload your update file, so I tried installing TWRP recovery and installing that file from there, but it fails straight away from TWRP.

How did you get ADB to see you device when you have the dead android showing?

Thank you =)
[LG G Watch] steso90:
Is there any way to make the ota flashable through twrp?
[LG G Watch] EpicLPer:
Boot into bootloader, select recovery there, once the screen turns to the LG logo instantly swipe from left upper to right lower corner as fast and often as you can, after a few seconds you should see a menu on the stock recovery screen. Then select the adb sideload option and send it from your PC via "adb sideload zipnamegoeshere.zip"
[LG G Watch] hugoprh:
No luck, tried it, booted into the bootloader, selected recovery and once the screen turned to the LG logo, I swipe from left upper to right lower corner as fast and often as I could, went again into the dead android screen and ADB still unable to see the device.

Isn't the swipe from upper left to lower right, to boot into the bootloader? I can do that, but whilst booting into recovery, from the bootloader, it just goes to the dead android.

Also tried to do a factory reset to the watch, cleared the data of the Android App on the phone, connected the watch and update fails when the progress bar is at about 20%

if any one could get their hands into the full ROM file, that would be awesome.

Any other ideas are welcome =)

And thank you for your help
[LG G Watch] EpicLPer:
Hm, try restoring your watch completely to stock again and see if "recovery" writes successfully. Maybe you're missing it or something, I dunno.
[LG G Watch] hugoprh:
Tried that already, still not luck =( I also suspect that is something to do with the recovery partition, but I've downloaded the stock recovery from two different users and all the same =(

I'll wait for the full image to be available and I'll flash it from there, or if someone can do a TWRP backup and share it, that would also help :p
[LG G Watch] JanusDC:
Thanks, but It says "aborted" :(

[/COLOR]

That is the OTA update (or is there another post?). Which gets stuck at 61% (it says "aborted"). What I would like is to have the img so I can do a clean install. Does anybody have it? (system.img and maybe boot.img if it has changed).
[LG G Watch] almmpt:
When I flashed my LCA43 with adb sideload command it stops at 61%, then after 3 ou 4 minutes it continues to flash at 100% and everything works fine until now, I have this version LCA43 since the day it go out in internet.

For now I think the battery is more efficiente, I think this is a good upgrade in general, good battery, very stable and very resonsive.

Long life to LG G Watch...
[LG G Watch] hugoprh:
Got it, finally able to update my G Watch, so here's what I've done after trying multiple Stock images, just download the version v9.8 of this tool, found in this thread, extract the zip file and run the file (if in Windows) "1 LG G Watch Tools for Windows.bat", then select option 6 and follow the instructions =)

After this I did a factory Reset, "Forgot" the watch on the android Wear App, reconnected the watch to the phone and then waited about 5min for the pop-up on the watch about a new update is available and this time, no more "dead android" screen, all went fine =)

Hope this helps
[LG G Watch] PhillyFlyer:
I used the LG G Utility/Restore tool to return to stock (#6), and then just booted into recovery and fully wiped. When I booted back up I connected my phone again and the update was there waiting for me to install. Easy.
[LG G Watch] b1g.p0ppa:
Yep. Worked for me too! Boiled down version:

factory reset

enable adb debugging

adb reboot bootloader

unzip version 98 zip

fastboot flash system 22Dsystem.img

fastboot flash boot 22Dboot.img

fastboot flash recovery 22Drecovery.img

boot up

pair, step through wizards, update is there and ran successfully!

[MENTION=3516517]PhillyFlyer[/MENTION] THANK YOU! This seems to have worked without a hitch, I think its an issue with the Return to stock in this post > http://xdaforums.com/g-watch/development/tool-lg-g-watch-return-to-stock-t3158349 as after using the 9.8 you recommend, I went to recovery, did a wide data and it side loaded without a hitch.

Thanks again!
[LG G Watch] JanusDC:
It did work! Thanks!
[LG G Watch] Bushrod:
I think that return to stock is rooted. The error 7 is because of this. Using the other "return to stock" package 9.8 from the other post is what worked for me. I was able to sideload the first night this way.

Finally, the method suggested by hugoprh some posts below mine worked for me:
[LG G Watch] invisiblek:
Here's a flashable zip of LCA43 for TWRP. It simply dumps the system and boot images over your existing ones: http://www.invisiblek.org/dory/dory_LCA43_boot_and_system.zip

This wont flash via sideload on a stock recovery or anything because its not signed. Its simply meant as a way to get to LCA43 (or restore back to it) while keeping TWRP around.

Props to [MENTION=6299094]cmulk[/MENTION] for getting these images for us (I was stuck not being able to OTA because of my tinkering :silly:)
[LG G Watch] sleepums:
I am running Mysterious Magic v1.0 r2 - 7/12/2015 with TWRP recovery.. I've downloaded the .zip file, ( flashable zip of LCA43 for TWRP), from above. Now, how do I flash the .zip with TWRP? I've never moved a zip to the watch before..

(I'm hoping this works over the Custom Rom, too!)

Any ideas?!
[LG G Watch] hillmom:
I used ADB to move it over. I can't remember the exact path I used, the was about a month ago.
[LG G Watch] sleepums:
Thanks HillMom for the idea.. I'm new to doing ADB on my own, without details. Guess it's time I learned a little more.

Found this:

adb push whatever-new-rom.zip /sdcard/update.zip

I'll just push it as a different name than update.zip and flash it from TWRP.

okay so I managed to un-**** mine. what you do is first ensure your phone is off, then hold down the volume down button then press and hold the home/power button until you get the restore mode screen. using your volume up and down to navigate and using thelock/power button to confirm, reseteverything it gives you the option to. from there reboot and it should be okay if our problems were in fact the same.
