Help!!

Guys I have the boot into moving dots and won't go further. I am stuck since I can only get into Fastboot and NOT adb. I have tried the steps above and can push the boot and recovery and then push the TWRP and get into the recovery screen. But then that disables ADB and cannot go further.

Before all this I was able to push the system.img to the /sdcard/ and it's sitting there now...however, when I tried the adb shell, I got permission denied.

Edit...nevermind. Like some others, not sure we all understood how to get ADB drivers loaded while in recovery mode....this is key so you can ADB when in TWRP. All good now!!!
[Huawei Watch] remaxian:
I'm stuck, PLEASE HELP!!

Bought my Huawei Watch in China. Long story short, am not happy with the fact that it's Chinese language only with localised software. I decided to flash to the system.img provided here. I have followed all the instructions listed here. I have updated all my drivers including the latest adb and fastboot software from google. But I'm still stuck, not able to flash it. I ADB pushed the system.img, it seemed to go, but I cannot flash using:

adb shell

dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system

but I get

dd: can't open '/sdcard/system.img': No such file or directory.

I coded: fastboot flash system.img

for which I get: target report max download etc....

sending 'recovery' (10126 KB)....

OKAY ...

but I could not get to recovery to wipe data or factory reset.

I am at a loss. Please can you help me?

Thanks
[Huawei Watch] zoth:
Go in to the bootloader

Boot in to TWRP

Then do the ADB shell command.
[Huawei Watch] remaxian:
Thanks but...

Thanks Zoth. That is what I have been doing these past few days and with your encouragement I tried that again just now. I ADB pushed system.ig /sdcard/ and I got this:

5056 KB/S (417792000 bytes in 80.690s)

Then, I did ADB shell command but still the same result (I got the following):

dd: can't open '/sdcard/system.img': No such file or directory.

Any other ideas? Thanks
[Huawei Watch] richboy324:
i have done all instruction as stated.

error is unfortunately Android Wear has stopped error and it keeps on coming back

seems like a bootloop

can anyone help?

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

i did all the instruction correctly

but also stuck in "Unfortunately, android wear has stopped working"

how did you manage to do a factory reset?

mine is in boot loop

thanks!
[Huawei Watch] remaxian:
Finally managed to ADB pushed system.img. I flashed it using ADB shell command and I get:

1048576+0 records in

1048576+0 records out

536870912 bytes (512.0MB) copied, 142.549992 second, 3.6MB/s

I reboot after this, then it says

No OS installed do you want to reboot?

I rebooted then I'm but still in TWRP. What does this mean? I tried to install on the watch using twrp, but i got a message that says that the 'Size of image is larger than target device'.

Please help!!
[Huawei Watch] zoth:
Start over.

Start over following the instructions. On the 3rd step do the commands one at time. BTW: before doing this factory reset using TWPR before you write the factory recovery.
[Huawei Watch] remaxian:
Thank you for the help and encouragement [MENTION=2148838]zoth[/MENTION]. I persevered due to your encouragement and finally succeeded after many tries. For me it was a corrupt system.img which seemed to have been downloaded correctly but apparently not. I unzipped the boot, recovery, and system .imgs from the stugeon....zip provided elsewhere and that did the trick for me. Thanks once again.
[Huawei Watch] chachin:
i did the fastboot commands an adb dd shell things too ... but when I reboot the watch it goes to like a new watch.. it syncs apps and all .. and i still see superSU.. WHY is supersu still syncing to this thing?

[Huawei Watch] Skin1980:
Try to mount usb in twrp and copy the system img with windows
[Huawei Watch] tye69:
Thanks for answring when in TWRP the watch has never shown like my phones on my computer so im not really sure how to go about this i fastboot twrp and then ??
[Huawei Watch] Danthemanz:
Went back to stock today like everyone else waiting for Marshmallow OTA.

I could not fastboot flash the system.img as seems pretty normal.

I was having trouble in TWRP pushing it to SD card too, i ended up pushing it to SDcard over ADB within the OS first.

I highly suggest people do the following to revert to stock and relock your bootloader. Then you can receive the OTA when it comes.

Enable ADB debugging in the OS.

Push the system.img to /SDcard as per the first post but within the OS. It will appear like its hanging, its not, its just not telling you its sending, it will take about 5 minutes to send.

Then boot to bootloader.

Perform "fastboot erase userdata" to wipe data partition just to be safe.

Then fastboot flash the boot.img and recovery.img.

Then boot to TWRP using the command in the first post. Click cancel when it asks if you want to fix the recovery permanently.

Then run the ADB command to flash the system partition from the system.img thats already on the /SDcard. This will also take some time, be patent.

Select reboot in TWRP and select bootloader.

from the bootloader run "fastboot oem lock" to relock your bootloader.

Perform a reboot and setup the watch as a normal stock build and wait patently for the OTA. The hardest part is now waiting for this dam Marshmallow OTA.

After i reverted i got a system update through and was excited, it was just a 5.1.1 update, i must have flashed an older version of the OS.
[Huawei Watch] Skin1980:
Send me you hangouts account
[Huawei Watch] tye69:
hi is there another workaround for this i am unable to enable drivers through the os as i have wiped it, only way for me is through fastboot.
[Huawei Watch] acultr:
how can I push the system img to sdcard if not OS installed on my watch?
[Huawei Watch] Danthemanz:
Hopefully you can boot and re-setup your watch to enable ADB.

Otherwise there is the way of trying to push the system.img through booting TWRP. It didnt appear to work for me but then again i didnt really look into it. It may just have needed some time.

Are you both currently without a booting watch? What happened to your existing /System partition?
[Huawei Watch] acultr:
all is well. I did something wrong.but I don't know what. I am on stock.

Thank you for your reply. ??
[Huawei Watch] AceDaMack:
what up guys just bought this watch and Im on LCb43B can I still unlock bootloader and root?
[Huawei Watch] Fauert:
YEH, but I would wait for Marshmallow, then unlock and root .. :D
[Huawei Watch] AceDaMack:
Thanx bro that's what I had planed on doing and the other reason it to make sure I didn't have a dud. Hope we get a great kernel for 6.0 cause for some reason we might need it for speaker calibration when released.
[Huawei Watch] chrisokaly:
why is everybody returning to stock ahead of the MM OTA? Won't we be able to sideload it once it drops?
[Huawei Watch] Lucas_Maximiliano:
I think only if its leaked. Cuz ota is the only way to get updates officially.
[Huawei Watch] chrisokaly:
Thanks.

So do we have a definite way to return to stock? Looks like everyone has had some kind of issue following the method in OP.
[Huawei Watch] Lucas_Maximiliano:
Most people is having issues to flash system.img. But there is a way to flash it pushing the file to sdcard folder (inside watch) and then flashing it from inside watch.

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Here are theese steps:
[Huawei Watch] chrisokaly:
Not able to flash from inside TWRP. Does not see my device. Any ideas?
[Huawei Watch] Lucas_Maximiliano:
You have to choose adb sideload option on twrp
[Huawei Watch] chrisokaly:
Unable to see my device after running fastboot boot TWRP.... what am I doing wrong?
[Huawei Watch] Skin1980:
I can bet it's a driver issue
[Huawei Watch] chrisokaly:
how is it a driver issue if everything else works before getting to TWRP? what drivers should I be installing?
[Huawei Watch] Skin1980:
Try with this

http://xdaforums.com/g-watch/help/how-to-fix-driver-problems-t2809673
[Huawei Watch] chrisokaly:
so I can't push the system.img to sdcard from within the OS and then install using the install feature in TWRP when I boot to it?
[Huawei Watch] Skin1980:
You have to use dd to flash system so you need to have adb working
[Huawei Watch] Lucas_Maximiliano:
If you are on bootloader, only fastboot commands are permitted, not adb. So try something like "fastboot reboot" ti check if its working.

EDIT: Sorry, on twrp you have to choose adb sideload option in order to set adb commands.
[Huawei Watch] chrisokaly:
Not driver issue; downloaded and installed google drivers (as I did previously, which got adb working in the first place) and tried to update. No go.

Device shows as "sturgeon" in Windows 7 device manager.

EDIT:

Realized it WAS a driver issue after I cleared my head and started over. "STURGEON" in device manager was obviously incorrect. Thanks for all your help guys.

it booted into the main screen of TWRP (never used it before). when I tried the adb push system.img /sdcard/

I get

I am seeing Sturgeon in the device manager. I installed the google drivers for it.

By the way I don't think I had debugging turned on (watch just started hanging on boot animation one day after it ran out of juice and I putting on the charger).

I have never changed the image or rooted it (stock).

As you can see in the attached picture. I get the error on system image. (boot and recovery flashed fine).

Hey guys, i have managed to follow the steps (flash boot, flash recovery and used the TWRP ADB trick to push system and flash it), but it has been doing the 'boot sequence' (spinning dots) for more than 10 minutes. is that normal?

Also, since I use the TWRP trick to flash system, should I do factory reset from TWRP or from stock recovery? any difference?

Thanks

Never mind, locked bootloader. needed to do the fastboot oem unlock command when trying to push the files directly to bootloader... cheers :)

EDIT:

I was stuck for last 12 hours and watch was in bootloop. i tried flashin again and agin . i tried all firmwares

i think it was that i was using old adb and fastboot. the latest ones helped. Also there is no need to flash twrp. Even if you get file sparce file issue for system.img it still flashes fine within bootloader

Now i am back to LCB43B will try to update to 1.4 via stock recovery now :cool:

Hi guys,

First I was having the spinning colors issue, but after doing about booting up in recovery mode, format userdata, cache, etc. Finally the watch begins to work. But after few days later the watch get out of battery, charge it up and again the spinning colors issue. This time the recovery, format user data, cache, etc, didnt work.

Then tried:

fastboot flash system boot.img

fastboot flash system recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

But the system.img cant be flashed.

Tried the:

1- First of all download the TWRP from the other thread and fastboot boot it:

Code:

fastboot boot TWRP2.8.7.0-Sturgeon.img

2 - Then push the system.img in the sdcard so:

Code:

adb push system.img /sdcard/

Appeared a message device null.

Also tried the adb sideload update.zip, begins to load the file, and when begins to install appear a message:

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

Cant see the whole message because was a very fast message.

Please help me, I love this watch!

[Huawei Watch] abhanli:
newbie

As a newbie I've read so many pages in so many threads about the spinning logos, so much confused !!!

As asked and not answered before: Also as if the watch has never turned on the adb debugging before it got stuck on the spinning dots, is there still a way to connect to the watch to push the img files?

A patient expert to list the steps could brighten us and we'd be more then grateful.

Update: After so many days I managed to flash... My watch is working again; still no news from Huawei!!!

For newbies like I am, you have to know is you don't need to enable anything before you are stuck to google logos.

I just downloaded "adb-setup-1.4.3" and "Minimal ADB and Fastboot". Whenever the windows didn't recognize the watch I ran adb-setup which at the end asks for installing drivers and when I disconnect and connect the device, it worked.

After getting connected check if the watch is getting fastboot command by c:\fastboot devices. If you can see any letters and fastboot at the right you're ok to go.

You need to c:\Fastboot Oem Unlock which unlocks the watch and you're out of warranty. Just accept it.

Then follow the steps of skin1980 (thanks it was really great)) http://xdaforums.com/huawei-watch/general/guide-return-to-stock-huawei-watch-t3219596

If you need "twrp" not written; just "swipe right" and follow the instructions of skin1980.

Boot Stuck Problem is over.

The watch is getting the updates right now but I guess I'll learn more and get to stock by the experts' help...

Thanks to you all...

[Huawei Watch] neo_rambo:
I'm getting the same exact issue while trying to follow the steps from skin1980

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

I was having the same issue when you go to mount you will notice that the storage space is 0k

When you go to TWRP go to Wipe>Format Data> type "yes" hit Done now when you go to mount you should see the internal storage space go up to 2535 or something close to that. Now try following the steps of copying the system.img to /sdcard/ and then the adb push. mine copies the files and everything but when I try to reboot I get this quick flash in recovery. The Screen flicker is actually saying "error to mount '/cache/'

Here are the steps that I did which fixed my problem

Went back to TWRP and one of those options says fix permissions. I can't remember what it was under. Do that. it will give you a message saying you need to run boot and the retry.

Then go back to mount to see if it just allows you to put a x next to Cache if it does go back and format Go to format advanced and see if you can clear the cache only. I did that and it fixed my problem.
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Use this link. https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html

Scroll down to the Huawei watch

Choose the second download link to get MEC23L "Non-preview image (for after testing)"

Decompress it into your fastboot directory and use the flash-all.bat to restore to stock.

This is the Google watch image and is much easier.
