Forgive my ignorance but I'm not certain what you mean. Are you asking about how to use adb to copy it off of the device?

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

For those who need the stock recovery here is my backup of it with twrps backup of the boot and system.

Use 7zip to decompress it. The recovery.img must be fastboot flashed the other two can be restored through twrp.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] RoyanArt:
Is it stock recovery of the latest firmware (6.0.1) ?

How to backup stock recovery ?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Lrs121:
Yes it is. The Android version number is the name of the archive. The best way to do it that I know of is to boot into twrp, not flash. Using a computer use adb to access the shell then use DD to copy the recovery byte for byte from the partition. Which can be found using ls -la in the long path of /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/ to the sdcard. Then use adb to pull the image from the sdcard. The same process can be done within Android with root access.

Wow This TWRP work very well on my ZW2.

But I have no idea what to play after I got TWRP work. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Spot.Zwei:
Hello,

I have a ZW2 and I did it to flash the SuperSU.zip.

How can I check if my watch is rooted?

How can I change the settings with the "extended setup"?

Have I install the supersu.zip once again after a manfacturers reset?

Thanks a lot.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Misterjunky:
re: rooting

If you do a factory reset in stock recovery you will need to root it again.

If you do a factory reset in twrp twrp you should not loose root.

Go to the play store and get "basic root checker" it will work in the

watch just fine, it's a apk file which is easy to install using the adb

install filename.apk method.

Or you can try opening the system folder in the watch using twrp

and if it opens and you see a bunch of folders it means it's rooted.

Let us know if simply flashing supersu rooted the watch for you.

Good luck!

What version of supersu do we flash for root? I've flashed a couple different .zips and none work, all force close.. Ive tried the Busybox and supersu on rails however only the busybox app was installed..
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Lrs121:
SuperSU was installed and will work on the one with BusyBox. There is no Android wear app for SuperSU so it won't show
[Asus ZenWatch 2] chriseshearin:
Welp after doing a root check it shows no root detected, it also caused the app advanced settings to crash

Any plans to update this to the latest TWRP?

Hi, how can i go back to Original firmware without root and Custom Recovery so i have a Watch like "Out of the Box"?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Fishweb74:
hello, this recovery is for WI501Q?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] parkerlreed:
Head up. This thread was a little hard to find since the model number is WI501Q not WQ501.

Working great on sparrow! Thanks.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] jeffarndt:
Can you post the stock recovery again?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] :
When I flash using the fastboot flash recovery twrp3.img command, it appears to work, but when I reboot the watch and then use adb to reboot into recovery, it's still on stock recovery. Have done this twice now. Any ideas on how to make TWRP stick or actually flash?
[Asus ZenWatch 2] 4RK4N:
unlocked the bootloader? "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot flashing unlock" dunno which one was it for this watch. think the 1st one since ints not google-made. the other one simply doesnt work. try both out.

like with phones u cant keep a recovery without unlocking bl.

also boot directly into recovery after flashing. on the 1st asus logo slide from top left to lower right corner of the screen repeatedly. if thet displays "csc fastboot mode" at the top then reboot and slide from top right to lower left corner repeatedly. can never remember which direction it is sry xD

once u arrived in recovery that way right after flashing u can reboot normally and twrp should persist. never flashed it myself only fastboot booted it to make changes. but thats the usual procedure.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] emacsomancer:
How do I back up the stockware OS/firmware with TWRP?

If I `adb reload recovery`, I'm taken to a screen with a 'dead' android with a red ! floating above him. I can then push the watch button and get to a recovery menu, but the only 'adb'ish option is to load/update via adb.

I've tried `adb backup -f filename --twrp --compress system data boot`, but it says: "adb: unable to connect for backup: no devices/emulators found". Likewise `adb shell`.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] drasterlx:
Hello

anyone have img file? link is down

Thanks
[Asus ZenWatch 2] EpicLPer:
Quick search resulted in this still being on my DropBox, HOWEVER the filepath has "WI501Q" in it so I'm not entirely sure if it's the same thing... Please use caution and be sure you have a backup of the Stock Recovery just in case!

Kaizer has GPS, great, smaller, but barely, slanted=who cares, same screen=sucks.

Other than GPS, that I only use while driving (so the BT GPS is fine), can't really find a reason to upgrade and spend $800????

Also, been playing with the Iphone and having terrible thoughts...

But the Poll is:

Will you upgrade and why???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] duttythroy:
definitely

I have upgraded and no regrets faster cpu although its the same 400 mhz but it feels faster

My next PDA will got VGA screen and a better camera than the kaiser one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Confused Stu:
But It's Got A Higher Version Number!!!!

Will be trading up, but to the Vario 3 rather than the Kaiser. What's the difference? Lots of cash!

My contract's up in a couple of months, I can sell my Vario 2 for more than the upgrade's gonna cost me so the question (in my case) is why wouldn't I?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] [BT]Black V:
Indeed I will

Yeah i will upgrade cause

Slanty Screen :D

Native wm6 not a cooked rom

umm.. I like new stuff
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galaxys:
My Hermes 8525 is here to stay this year. Very happy with it's looks and capabilities that were developed on the forum. Next year I'll reaccess the Kaizer's progress.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
I'd consider it if I could be a NON US version that has the front camera. I hate not having an option that I'll never use :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DaVince:
Nah, I'd rather wait for something that has the specs of XDA Flame with GPS and WM7 (and less buggy).

I used to have a Universal.. I kinda miss the VGA screen. I was willing to let go of the VGA screen just becoz the Hermes has HSDPA. But right now, I'm not willing to pay for a new device just because of GPS and 128Mb RAM.

Slanted?? so what? I rarely even use the keyboard ever since I discovered pocketCM kb.

If I had a lot of money to waste, maybe I will. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] larsuck:
I'm waiting for the omni. If it ever comes out, that is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] g35driver:
I am staying with my 8525, no upgrade for me
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] stinxo:
Would love to have the gps and that slick tilt screen, but gonna stay with the Hermes for now. Will wait until they finally throw in a 800x480 (or at least something more than this pitiful 320x240) screen with some real estate to view websites and documents. Hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N-DEE:
My contract is up @ January 2008

Then i will get the Kaiser and my Hermes will find a new owner in ebay *g*

Got the Hermes from t-mob at 70€ here in Austria and that will be the same for Kaiser.

I think it is not bad if one waits until the new year as the early-product-problems will be sorted out then...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrSmith22:
Mine will be up in January too, but it's going to be hell trying to change contracts.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bcbarnes:
I'd like to get everyone's opinion on the built in GPS feature. My question is that, if I have the unit mounted on the dash of my car, for navigation purposes, will the GPS have a good view of the sky through the roof? With a BT GPS, I just toss the little reciever up on the dash so it can "see" out the windshield, and I can mount the PDA anywhere I want it.

How good is the reception of the GPS unit when it is built-in? Do any built-in units have an external antenna plug that can be used?

Brian.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bram87:
Owwww yeah! That will be my new phone(A)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
Apparently it has some kind of dual CPU one for the phone part and one for the PDA part. You might be able to test the speed for me... Stream or play soemthing in RealPlayer then start up messaging and compose a new txt message... does the sound stay constant and uniterrupted?

It never does on my Hermes but this would interest me if it did on the Kaiser and if it renders web pages faster.

The built in GPS and slandted screen are nice but not necessary for me to upgrade.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] netnerd:
Qaiser/kaiser hypes is just as bad as iphone!

all hypes, dont do much!

tell me, what does Qaiser has that my tytn/8525 cant!

and how much do u pay for those "few", or "little" features?

800buk?

i dont mind to pay 800buk to upgrade my tytn, but i want something better then just build-in gps!

this is what i going to get! eten x800 with VGA, gps build-in! or Imate 6150. i'm just desperate for VGA!

y do i call the Qaiser/Kaiser all hypes just like the iphone?

go to ebay and take a look! most sellers got like 30 or 100 Qaiser avail, and how many did they sold??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] alancstan:
Nope... will wait for the price to drop further!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ibeqa:
Why???

Every six months, there is a good ppc on the market, well I don't care as I don't have that kind of money to change devices every six month. Hermes fulfills my needs and I don't need a GPS. So My Hermes (and Cavalier) are to stay untill WM Photon arrives (by the way I read somewhere that it will be 2008 or 2009).

Cheers

Finally, I decide to do not upgrade to Kaiser, but I'm waiting for Polaris :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
the deciding factor for me is that it has the enabled gps receiver. I currenlty have to use an external gps receiver when I use pocket streets or topo! while hunting. Having it all-in-one saves a bunch of headache (and a second device to keep charged).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] fun_key:
Now that the hermes stretched all my pockets; why should I change for something smaller?

The only real reason would be the GPS, but I only use it while driving so this is no big deal.

Btw, as I am a kind of gadget addict; I can't say I am not interrested in it. But, if I buy it I would definitely now that I will get little (and maybe less) improvement than what I get with my fully customised hermes
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] diezoo:
I was waiting for the Ultimate 8150, but now the final specification are not the promise specification, and the "Thin" change from 11mm to 15.5mm, and the final result are a device no to match attractive like the first impression, so I don't know... maybe buy a Kaiser... this Friday I will see one to decide.... :)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DaVince:
The I.R. port is not really much of a loss. Except that it's quite handy when using I.R. software to control your TV and stuff.

Kaiser doesn't suck. But it's not worth the upgrade if you already a hermes. But if you have something older, kaiser is a good upgrade.

And yeah.. U.S. (and its phone companies) suck.. lol :D

hello everybody . im a newbie and i havent seen a topic for eten phone around this forum so i have to post my question in any possible topics ( i guess ):D

i'm finding a software exactly like one in this picture below ( this software is in 2006 eten's extended rom but i dont know how to get this software from etended rom )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chupchae:
No

I would if upgrade unit has either VGA screen or camera with quality comparable to SE K800i. Kaiser offers nothing about it. I have small bluetooth GPS for almost no money so I don't care when it is picking up sun at dashboard. No upgrade for angulating only. I am even suspicious that keyboard horizontal position is no better for thumb typing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MistaRip:
i'll upgrade to this if it comes out in the US.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] david.dupuis:
Kaiser Yes Sir

Well its not just the GPS how about Storage and memory I have everything I use to install on my 4gb storagecard on kaiser memory and i still have 82mb free. It has 128 RAM 256 Flash out of the box. can't wait till the cooks get to it. i can have 4 programs in memory and till have 40mb free. Much faster it make the Hermes look like a toy. And as a added benifit TOUCHFLOW is great. Far better phone then the Hermes in many ways.

Cost yep its expensive but will come down as soon as the big providers like AT&T start selling them.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mikeycollins13:
Kaizer Is Losing?

Wow, thought it could put up a much better fight, but not at $800, I too will stick to my external gps. If anything, I'll get an Iphone for fun, the screen is soooo much better.

I will buy the ATT version at a contract rate when it is released. I am not going to pay the unlocked rates this time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MaRaHoX:
No reason to change

VGA missing - this is the biggest reason against Kaiser. For me it is about throwing away 500 USD (+ sell Hermes) for small upgrade of memory, processor and display. GPS have integrated in car and another benefits are not benefits against Hermes. Staying loyal with Hermes for now and waiting also for machine with this parameters but + VGA.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ChrisFB:
If it was a cheap to free upgrade or I had unlimited cash, sure. That said, I'm pretty damn happy with the Hermes (which I got for $50 new through a nice AT&T rep with 2 year contract). I have it setup just the way I like it and although I like new toys there's not enough to justify a large cash outlay for me. Those with more income and/or less mouths to feed/school/provide for might have different priorities and view for their cash.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hiroshi.rio:
I'm waiting about HTC Polaris. ;)

If it really has 3,5' VGA and all features that was posted all over net, I think it will be a very great upgrade.

In fact, I really don't need a keyboard on device. We have some softs to do this. I prefer a small and light one.

Is this HTC Polaris' pic is true?? I loved this design... The 2nd pic shows the same size of TyTN II, that is, not 3,5'.. :rolleyes:

There are rumors that Sony ericsson in collaboration with HTC is planning to release a windows based PPC...If its true then its going to a big leap....

The two giants of smartphones joining hands.....

i am now a big fan of windows based handset but beileve that Symbian UIQ is the best platform for mobile phones... the only issue it that UIQ maintains a high security environment and so makes life of developers difficult.....

THe P seris handset of SE is the best in terms of hardware... you will love it once you use it.. but the new p seris one P990i was a failure in terms of the firmware,,,,,

SO till something good comes up from SE and HTC , i am with HTC and may consider kaiser for the time being,,,,,

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Based on the above info, I think its one of the following:

4.20.771.2

4.25.771.6

Reason I can say that, is that radio numbers 1.25xxx correspond to version numbers 4.xx. But 4.20 or 4.25, I don't think its possible to determine with the info you have available.

If you are trying to restore to stock using nandroid in order to OTA, it may or may not matter which of the above you restore. My suggestion would be to try one ; and if it doesn't work (OTA fails), try the other.

My /data is unmountable, and every time I try to do a wipe in twrp it returns the error "unable to mount storage". Twrp is also still giving me the "No OS Installed" message when I go to reboot.

TWRP should see the device as MTP when it boots to recovery, so on your computer you should be able to upload your files from your computer to your phone that way.
