hi

i managed to get mine working as well ! (Thanks to abhanli, pkt_lnt and skin180)

make sure you are in fastboot menu on your watch (holding the power button till switches off and the pressing again after vibrates)

most important thing next is to press shift and right click anywhere in the adb folder on your computer, and then run command prompt from there, otherwise adb will not load up and you will think that you have just run a dodgy script !

unlock your bootloader (typing "Fastboot Oem Unlock" in the command prompt in adb folder)

then you can use steps of skin180 (link above)

OR

https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html

scroll down to huawei watch and choose second download option (non preview image for after testing) (thanks pkt_lnt)

extract into your adb folder (located in c:\)

then using the command prompt in adb folder, navigate to that extracted folder (using dos commands)

then if you are on windows, type "flash-all.bat"

hey presto - will work !

when it reboots, you may think "darn it still has spinning dots !" but if you wait about 5-10 mins it progresses past that stage and comes up with welcome screen !

My watch is working again !

HUAWEI customer services are a pile of POO. Their repair centre in UK is waste of time. They never answer the phone and never reply to messages.

If the Huawei watch wasnt so beautiful, i'd never bother with them !

Good luck and thanks all.
[Huawei Watch] hylyx:
Oh!!!

Thank you!!!

I tried several things with my spinning dots issue and nothing!

This works!!! =D
[Huawei Watch] bramgg:
I had the MM kernel of Skin1980 installed on my watch. Yesterday I got a pop-up for the 1.5 OTA. After accepting it for installation the watch restarted and displayed Andy laying down with a big exclamation mark. Some time later the watch restarted with stock 1.4 like it was. Since I flashed the kernel from Skin I figured I needed to flash my way back to stock to be able to install 1.5.

So, I've followed the instructions in the OP and all went well. When I flashed the system.img I got the file sparce blabla. However, I waited a couple of seconds and the installation continued, what seemed to me like it was installing it in parts (if that makes sense).

So I reverted back to 1.3 and there was an update to 1.4 waiting for me. But after updating the watch doesn't seem to fetch the 1.5 update anymore. Is this a known issue, or will the update automatically pop-up again?

[EDIT] NVM, after scanning for the update for the 100+ time, I can finally update..
[Huawei Watch] dailol:
I need help with my watch. Currently it is in bootloop. I am unable to get pass the bootloader because I do not think USB debugging/adb is enabled on my device. Is there anyway to fix this issue?
[Huawei Watch] cameljockey1:
If your bootloader is unlocked you should be able to flash through the bootloader. To get to the bootloader hold down the watch button until it restarts. Keep held and then right after the vibrate let go and do a quick press on the button again. Then you can run the command.
[Huawei Watch] dailol:
I can get to bootloader just fine. My PC does not recognize the watch. When the watch is connected to the PC, I check the device manger and it shows up as unknown device. Tried updating drivers with SDK tools and also tried using PDAnet and both do not work. Does it matter if I use the OEM charger vs a 3rd party charger?
[Huawei Watch] cameljockey1:
You should use the OEM charger always when trying to talk to the watch. Answer these questions for me.

1. Is your bootloader unlock?

2. Do you have custom recovery?

3. What were you trying to do before it started bootlooping
[Huawei Watch] dailol:
1. Bootloader is locked

2. It is on stock rocvery

3. Watch died and went into bootloop

Now whenever I go into bootloader, PC will not recognize the device at all. Before, PC would detect the device being connected and shows unknown device. Now it will not recognize the watch at all.
[Huawei Watch] cameljockey1:
From the bootloader. Hit the side button until it say recovery. Then hold down the button to get into recovery. Then Factory reset it.
[Huawei Watch] dailol:
Tried it. Still goes into bootloop.
[Huawei Watch] cameljockey1:
If you have never unlocked bootloader. Call huawei and see if they can fix it. If it's been under a year.

[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
I replied to you in the Negalite ROM thread, but here is the link to stock, the 2nd one under Huawei.

https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html

That is version 1.4, the latest complete image available. You can find the three patches that will update you to version 1.5 and the July and August security updates are linked in Huawei watch forum if you search
[Huawei Watch] shaxs:
OMG! Thank you. I finally fixed my watch after months!!
[Huawei Watch] Pher3ona:
Same problem here...

I can get to bootloader mood..

And ADB is working...

Nothing works in TWRP..

it's like there are no files in the watch any more..

Yet no command can make the watch work..

What can it do??

Edit.. I flashed TWRP and now I don't see the Android logo.. Every bootloader ends with TWRP mood.. Still I can get to bootloader mood.

Edit... After reading many posts... I think I need the system.img in zip.. Maybe this will work..

If any one have it please share

My Watch do not synchronize with telephone

I repeated the operation several times always with the same result :(

Everything goes fine, the watch reboot, it pairs with my telephone after that I may see (in italian) "Sincronizzazione... 1 di 17". It goes until 8 of 17, stays there for several minutes then exit.

The result is that several applications are missing (whatsapp,wechat, messenger etc.) and the time is wrong i.e. the minutes are ok but the hour is random.

How may I fix it?

Thanks in advance

Jimmi

remove update notification from 1.5 to 2.0

i managed to downgrade my HW1 to 1.5 from 2.0

BUT HOW i disable and remove update notification from 1.5 to 2.0???
[Huawei Watch] andysoft83:
This is also my question , I appreciate if somebody will know how to disable the annoying notification , first for me it was gone after I restarted my watch but since today doesn't work like that anymore.

Solutions ?
[Huawei Watch] carelockh:
So for the life of me, I cannot figure out why I can't get my watch to return to stock. I've followed the steps but whenever I try to reboot to recovery to do a wipe, it just boot loops endlessly in recovery mode so I have no choice but to shut it down. I am however still able to get into fastboot mode.

I don't know if I've somehow bricked my watch but I don't see how that's possible when I can still get into the bootloader so it can't be completely bricked.
[Huawei Watch] Arbygar:
After hours of trying so many things suggested here, this finally worked. I couldn't get past the boot logo, but could use fastboot and TWRP. I kept getting an error when pushing system to sdcard and had many mount issues when wiping and flashing. The link that Poorak has above did not get me to the MEC23L flash-all batch file, that I could find. I Google searched to find it and came across this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVrBEmi35-E from RootJunky. There is a link in the description to the Huawei Watch files needed. I used "sturgeon-mec23l-wear-stock.zip" and followed RootJunky's video instructions. Finally up and running again. Thank you everyone for all your input on these forums.
[Huawei Watch] jamescridland:
I've just returned my Huawei watch to stock (which appears to be v1.5 since there's no factory image for final v2.0).

It wasn't actually very easy, since a lot has changed since the beginning of this thread, so I've written a simple guide - for people with a MacBook - of how to do it.

Can't link to it here, of course, since I'm a new user. But go to Medium, my username is the same as here, and it's in my latest posts. It's called "How to restore your Huawei Android Wear watch to Android Wear 1.5 (using a Mac)" and if Google is doing its thing, if you paste that in, it should work. (Feel free to link below).

Hope that's useful for someone.

[Huawei Watch] spicerackk:
I am so over trying to follow all of these instructions and getting nowhere.

I have tried every single method to get this back to stock, and none have worked for me. I have downloaded every file mentioned, and yet my watch is still bootlooping to stock android recovery. Can someone PLEASE give me some help?

I also have been getting a weird code when I use the dd command in adb when following the instructions in post #1. [MENTION=2174433]Skin1980[/MENTION], please help!

[Huawei Watch] He2isenberg:
hi guys , in step : fastboot boot TWRP its show : FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)) . can any one help me plz ?
[Huawei Watch] SirTurbo:
i cant use adb by usb anymore, because my watch isnt recognized by any of my computers.

but i can still use adb by wlan. But i think that wont work for fastboot flashing.

So... can i just copy system.img to /sdcard/ by wlan and then flash it from trwp? (in the moment i am on custom 2.0 rom)

no boot, no recovery to keep open bootloader and twrp?

the links on developer are not good. no download for hw there?

on stechguide i found an image from 2.0 preview to 2.0 final.

Can i flash it from twrp? what about bootloader, twrp - killed after that?

on rootjunkie i found an image based on 1.x and one on 2.0 preview. rooted i expect^^

when i flash the preview, can i later flash ota final? will it fail because of root? because of preview?

because of whatever?^^

if i first flash rooted preview and then stock 2.0 - what do i get? brick? 2.0 unrooted?

plz give me some hints what i can flash by twrp. keeping twrp would be preferred because of the possibility to return to custom if i like without problems.

Result:

Huawei logo stuck at start.

Is there an alternative image file I could flash?

My intention is to install the latest official ROM after N7G75S. At least I suppose there is a newer one, since my watch wanted to install an OTA update, but failed all the time at around 15-20% resulting in a dead android.

Thanks for any help.

History: I wouldn't have done any flashing if I wasn't required to do so. Originally, I had issue with upgrading to AW2.0, as I had to tap million times the "system is up-to-date" screen to eventually start downloading and upgrading the watch from 1.5 to 2.0 back in February. Then, I had similar problems with upgrading to N7G75S from MEx - don't remember the FW version exactly - which I solved with manual flashing by adb sideload execution. It worked. Now again the watch tells me that there is a new update, and whenever it starts the upgrade process, just about at around 20% is stops and shows the dead android screen. Looks like now I have flashed to the system partition the system.img included in the guide by skin1980, downloaded from Mega.nz. Most probably it is a 1.5 image, but not sure, it could be maybe a problem after initially having 2.0.

I thought it might help to understand my situation to describe the history, so maybe someone can suggest me a good and working 2.0 full image, which would allow me to properly have the watch upgraded with the latest OTA update.

Thanks again!

[Huawei Watch] Vanillezucker:
stuck in bootloop after following the instructions

I followed your instructions step by step after the method explained in the first post didn't work (bootloop: constantly showing the moving colored dots of the Google Logo).

first I thought you made a mistake in 1. and 2. because you flash the system not the boot image and the recovery. But I also tried:

1. fastboot flash boot boot.img

2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

That didn't make a difference.

However I result in another bootloop where the attached image is shown every few seconds for less than half a second.

Step 6 doesn't seem to work for me as I always get the error "mount ... (e.g. cache) failed" and the whole process failed. I wiped both caches with the advanced wipe. Format data is also showing me the error "mount ... failed" but says succeed in the end.

I attached the fastboot/adb log. Maybe someone can help me. Thanks in advantage :)

Edit: attached image failed to load

[Huawei Watch] Vanillezucker:

[Huawei Watch] str8spir:
In order to be able to mount cache, you need to go through the Format Storage options in TWRP until it sticks. I went through all of them until I reached Fat32 or ExFat2, the watch used to be ExFat4. After every attempt, try to mount cache.

Afterwards install stock OS

At least that it was made it work for me, changing the Format option of the internal storage.
[Huawei Watch] Vanillezucker:
Awesome dude! It worked. I needed some time to find the format options (wipe-advanced-repair-ext4) but I got it. Thanks a lot, you really helped me :)

But I would correct your flashing instructions to "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".

Eventually I tried this Thread's procedure the following way:

1.fastboot flash system boot.img

2.fastboot flash system recovery.img

3.fastboot boot TWRP2.8.7.0-Sturgeon.img ->it will boot into TWRP->remove watch from the cradle and put it back.

4.adb push system.img /sdcard/

5.adb shell dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system and at this step you need to wait a LOT. It took about 20min.

6. Wipe cache/factory reset

7. reboot

8. Wait to see if it actually works. If it does without errors then do not forget about the last step.

9.Fastboot OEM lock

Ive tried every step to the T and when i reboot, it comes back to twrp. I definitely messed up something when i tried to factory reset after adding custom recovery.

Re-locking the bootloader

To re-lock the bootloader:

For newer devices (2015 and higher):

fastboot flashing lock

For older devices (2014 and lower):

fastboot oem lock

I used the second method to lock my bootloader on my Orig Huawei watch.

You have to put the watch in fastboot mode and connect it to you PC with the charging/USB cable.

"Get into fastboot on the Huawei watch, by:

Hold the power button down until watch reboots, and keep holding it.

Wait for the vibration. Right at the end of the vibration, release the power button, then immediately tap it.

It should instantly take you into fastboot mode on screen. If not, you weren't quick enough."

Took me a couple of try's but got it to go into fastboot so do not give up.

TIA
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNSMANI:
If that was the only error, it is simple to solve. It means that your system partition does not have sufficient space. So uninstall some unimportant Google stuff like maps, news stand, books etc and then install Xposed. Afterwards you can install the uninstalled Google Apps from Play Store, if you want.

Also check that you are installing the correct version of Xposed, SDK21 vs SDK22.
