[Asus ZenWatch 2] raptoro07:
It has less to do with cost and more to do with the speaker. ZW1 and the 45mm don't have one and therefore the update got pushed first. the 49mm has speaker which probably has required more work for firmware and is taking longer. It's no mystery that the only two AW watches (the Huwaei and ZW2) have gotten their updates last.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] DDz_1888:
You are right it wasn't you... stupid of me. I apologize.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] justibasa:
I paid 149.00 from best buy also. Still have the receipt at home.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] ycats:
I think the price depends on which band comes with the watch.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] hamagc:
It does. 129 = rubber. 149 = leather. 199 = steel.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] dersie:
Not last ;) Sony SW3 update not started .....

I hope it starts today, I just finished downloading and installing MM on my Verizon Note 5.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] XandroidX:
The app Zenwatch Manager just received an update for Marshmallow compatibility in the Playstore
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Sziehr:
My guess is that update is for compatibility on the phone end.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] r0tati0n:
yep

Its for compatibility with the phone, because MM has some changes to the permissions system.

If you install the pre-MM-Zenwatch app on a MM phone, the app basically didnt work. You had to unlock the permissions manually in Settings-Apps-Permissions.

I guess that is what they meant.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] tempurastyle:
The changelog says it's for compatibility with Android Wear 6.0.1.

Do I get bonus points?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Azarin:
Just sidloaded it, waiting for it to boot up now... a couple of points for anyone looking to install it from the OTA ZIP (it is similar but not exactly the same as the Huawei watch procedure):

Enable Developer Options (tap 7-8 times on the build number in settings and about) and then ADB Debugging on the watch in the new menu you have just enabled

Plug the watch into your computer using the charging cable

Check ADB can detect it (you need the drivers etc installed) with ADB devices

Reboot into the bootloader with 'adb reboot recovery' (without the quotes)

When you get the recovery logo (android on it's back and the front open) swipe from left to right across the screen

Choose Sideload from ADB using up and down swipes to move through the menu, and left to right swipes to select

Ensure ADB can see the device again

Run 'adb sideload update.zip' without the quotes, replacing update.zip with the name of the file you downloaded

EDIT: The update installed without issues, just need to figure out how to get the speaker working for calls - some people on the Huawei thread reckon a re-pairing is needed.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] dacasamir:

Just got the update notice after factory resetting the watch and repairing with my phone. Checked for update and it was there. Might be worth trying guys!
[Asus ZenWatch 2] XandroidX:
Trying this factory reset process as I am typing this it has been syncing for at least 10 min is this normal ?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Samugai:
New to the smartwatch scene here. Are smartwatch firmware/OTA region specific?

Edit: Never mind got my answer.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] justibasa:
Mine took like 20 min to sync. Depends on how many apps there are to sync. As soon as it's done check for an update and it should be there. Mines downloading slowly as we speak.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] XandroidX:
Yesss! its downloading the update! Im in California, so this factory reset process officially works to force download the update it is downloading very slow indeed....

I will try to report back the results of they update once its done installing.

Thanks Justibasa for the tip
[Asus ZenWatch 2] slothdabski:
Thanks for the info. Sounds like it would be faster to update manually for anyone like myself who already has adb installed on their computer
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Sziehr:
Didn't work for me. Still no update after the factory reset.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] XandroidX:
Make sure you have Android WEAR installed on your phone
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Sziehr:
I do. Factory reset watch and told AW to forget the watch. No update yet.

[Asus ZenWatch 2] XandroidX:
It's all done I'm officially updated to marshmallow everything seems a lot smoother the font slightly different
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Zorque:
Sideloaded the update, it works great! I love the new gestures. I tested audio feedback and it works just fine, but it's kind of annoying having it read the time every time you wake the watch so I disabled it. I tried making a call earlier but nothing popped up and it just called from my phone. Per a Youtube video I watched (from a guy with the Huwawei watch), you might have to start the call from the "Phone" app on your watch instead of "ok Google, call (whoever)". I'm at work though so I can't test it too thoroughly for the moment.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] XandroidX:
I called my wife from my watch loud and clear

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

Be prepared to feel ridiculous talking into your watch but it is still very cool I could see this working out well in my car or when my hands are full and I can't take my phone out of my pocket
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Rudimente:
sideload does not work for me, got errors

update. got it!!!
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Nick N:
To get this to work for me...

1. Enable debugging on watch (Google it)

2. If you haven't already, download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot.

3. Download Zenwatch 6.0.1 update

4. For Windows, move 6.0.1 download to C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot and rename it update

5. Power off watch with button on right side of watch.

6. Hold button on right side of watch until you see Asus logo, swipe from top right to bottom left of screen.

7. Follow menu to select apply update from adb (sideload).

8. Plug in watch to computer.

9. Open Minimal and Fastboot program, type adb sideload update.zip

10. Wait, watch will return to recovery when complete. Select reboot system now.

11. Profit.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Maeko:
How do you fix this? I've been getting the same issues

Nevermind. Fixed It. :good:
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Rudimente:
i did it the wrong way by using twrp, after trying normal way i got it
[Asus ZenWatch 2] justibasa:
How did you get this to work. Tried it and had to put the phone to my ear to hear the other person. What do I need to do to enable this?

Keep getting phone audio is unavailable. Have factory reset twice and this is still not working. Not happy with this update at all.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] hamagc:
Incorrect. Already tested a call from watch to wife. Have not updated note 4 to MM yet.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

When I went to phone, it asked me to pair BT audio. I hit OK and it worked.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Nick N:
This. Works with stock LP on Note 3.

I think you can also enable it by going to Bluetooth options in the watch.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] justibasa:
Not getting that option.

Edit: It finally started working and it's freaking amazing, weird but awesome. ?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] hamagc:
BT options on phone?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] XandroidX:
I just attempted to make a phone call with the phone icon on the watch after that it asked me to confirm Bluetooth connection and my wife answered. I just tried it again it is pretty awesome. it's like I have a whole new device everything is smoother and the new gestures are pretty cool too you can now confirm and go back with gestures

I just went to Settings under accessibility and audio feedback if you have it set to ON whenever you hold your phone up it will say the time out loud and whatever else is on the screen it got a little bit annoying I turned it off but I guess it's cool for those that can't see the screen very well

Is it based on location? I'm in Florida and have done 2 factory resets also with no joy.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] XandroidX:
Those having trouble getting an update I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but before I factory resetted my watch I also removed all WEAR applications from my Note 4 smart phone including zenwatch manager and removed the Android Wear app I also unpaired from bluetooth. Like I would have started from scratch, of course don't forget to hit the system Updates button in the About section

I don't know how to sideload. Tried reading steps makes no sense to me. I downloaded adb this is what I get... No options to do anything from there when I plug my watch very clueless...driver is installed... Download the 6.0 update from Reddit what do I do from here?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Sziehr:

I updated the Zenwatch 2 WI501Q through recovery mode

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE if you mess up installing the firmware on watch.

Here are the steps

1. Enable debugging on watch Settings>about>tap several times on build number>go back to previous page you will see developers options>enable ADB Debugging

2. Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0MKgCbUM0itNVB1elljU2NPR0k refer for doubts in

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

3. Download Zenwatch 6.0.1 firmware zip file from

https://android.googleapis.com/pack...7.signed-signed-sparrow-MEC23U-from-LCB51.zip

4. In Windows move 6.0.1 firmware zip to C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot where you installed ADB and Fastboot setup

5. Power off the watch

6. Hold button on right side of watch until you see Asus logo, the moment the logo appears swipe from the top right corner to the bottom left.Then use fingers to swipe down to select "apply update from ADB" press the button on the right side of watch.

7. Plug in watch to the computer, and go to ADB AND Fastboot folder press shift key + right click on mouse>>you will see drop down menu>>select open command window here

you will see cmd window will open.

8.In this cmd window type C:\adb>adb devices press enter to check whether you watch is connected or not

9. If your device is showing in the CMD window, then type C:\adb>adb sideload 9867c53876fca510de5ff0cb1380f48c43e28a37.signed-signed-sparrow-MEC23U-from-LCB51.zip

(mention the extension of the file which you downloaded,it is important)

It will take few minutes for the firmware to get installed in the watch.Wait until the watch return back to recovery when its complete,Select reboot system now.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Azarin:
Yep, pretty normal. It took mine about 30-40 minutes to sync and install all my apps etc.

I also noticed I had blank Google Now cards appearing on the watch, however a reboot of the watch fixed the issue.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] kvnhmmd:
Haven't tried the Zenwatch Music app, but Google Play Music, yes.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] tuxing:
How does the speaker sound during calls. mine crackles horribly at higher(usable) volume levels. Try adjusting volume during call and please report how it sounds.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] kvnhmmd:
Called my girlfriend and at max volume there was no crackling but it wasn't very loud. Called 611 and the automated voice was much louder, but lots of crackling.

Also, the quality of the loudspeaker, and microphone depend greatly with how the watch is positioned on your arm, and the position of your arm itself.

The crackling is unrelated to positioning, of course.

The loudspeaker definitely gets blocked very easily when you're using your arms, so playing music through the watch doesn't work as well if you're active. Works Alright at work sitting at the computer.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Sziehr:
The Zenwatch music app is a little easier to work with but seems to only play through headphones or a BT speaker.

With Google Play Music, I picked about a dozen songs. The watch showed they were transferring, but when I got the "Offline Music Ready" message, only one song showed up in the playlist. All of the songs were normal mp3s. Maybe I have to resync the apps.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] kvnhmmd:
Maybe try rebooting the watch. I have the Play Music subscription, and synced my stations to the watch, it only does maybe 16 tracks per station, and takes a long time, but it plays them all. Sometimes it will skip to the next track randomly which is kinda weird.

I get this error every time I try to sideload. I don't get it. Before booting the watch into recovery ADB see's it but after it doesn't. When I get the recovery logo it has a red Triangle on it and I can't do anything. No swiping. What am I doing wrong. I have the bigger of the zenwatch 2's. I've tried from ADB starting the watch in the bootload state and abd sideload and the file name but still get the same result.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] slothdabski:
You have to get to the recovery by restarting the watch and doing the swipe motion on the intital Asus logo. Then the menu will load. Then choose adb sideload and the commands you send will work. Not sure why recovery option don't show up when you get to recovery via fastboot

But no stock recovery :( Need your help guys, what sould I do?

In future updates, do I have to reinstall stock ? Or TWRP works like stock recovery for updates?

I erase some system apps google, hangouts, etc

Can I factory reset with TWRP, and configure the phone again, or do I need to flash firmware on stock recovery?

Is there a flashable zip for TWRP to downgrade or update firmware?

i just wanted each and every A7000-a users that rooting our phone without following complicated methods is now achievable via KingRoot on its Latest Firmware Version

so according to my phone the latest update is labeled as A7000-a_PLUS_S177_160121_ROW. So if i understand it correctly, this firmware was made available on the OTA Channel since January 21, 2016. although i've only received the patch today.

enough chitchats and let's get this over with. it'll take 5 minutes or so.

NOTE: make sure that you have a decent Network Connection and a sufficient Battery Life to avoid unwanted errors.

Step 1: Update your Lenovo A7000-a Firmware to the latest available version (S177).

Step 2: Install the latest version of KingRoot (4.8.0)

Step 3: Open KingRoot, follow on screen procedures and ROOT your phone.

If all works as expected then VIOLA, your A7000-a is now rooted :D

also a side note: while i was rooting my unit, i experienced several 'Network Error' prompts, just close the application and restart it until you reach the Rooting Phase.

ALSO I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY BRICKED PHONES HERE. I AM JUST SHARING WHAT I ACHIEVED WITH MY OWN PHONE

attached images are proofs that my unit is now rooted :)
