Hi Guys, I just want to double check if I understand this correctly. I am running latest Alex rom and started to receive OTA notifications since yesterday. If I started OTA update would it success and overwrite TWRP recovery or would the update process stop somewhere and brick my watch?

Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mickael91210:
Hello,

Just to know if I continue to wait or if I try to update manually....

Will you update the full rom?

Thanks a lot.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
it will fail to update and boot as normal....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] bednar1988:
Thanks lohtse
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
I can post updater package for tests.

Is there is a wish to test?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] geogaddi47:
Yes, I would happily test.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mickael91210:
Yes thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Modified OTA update package from MWD49B to M1D63G with kernel tetra_3.17.17 (2 cores) for TWRP recovery.

Download

!!WARNING!!

I'm not tested this update.

Install at your own risk.

In worst case you must reinstall ROM.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
gives me signature failed message when I try to install
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Can you try in twrp?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] joethc:
This test package failed to install for me in twrp with a warning about not enough space.... but it seemed to actually flash the update...now I am on M1D63G in settings and adb is not working to push or pull files or check package list.. seems wierd everything else is working ok
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Thanks. I make some changes in package.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
ok oddly got it to flash via twrp without issue.... nice one... and I have working adb too

what was those commands/info you wanted???
[Sony Smartwatch 3] maelfilk:
If i install OTA, should i also flash new modified kernel (M1D63G)?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
Feature request: disable OTA out of the box. Update doesn't work anyway because of the mismatching signatures and OTA notification cannot be dismissed. Only way to get rid of the notification is to let it reboot and try to install, but it will come back after a day or so.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Yes.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
OTA updated.

Please, check whole update process, and report.

PS. Should I put modified kernel in OTA package?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] bednar1988:
For me it would be really good to have a package including your modified 2-cores kernel:)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
OTA updated with kernel tetra_3.14.17 (2-core).

Please give feedback about efficiency of OTA package.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
Err flashed this and now thinks theres and update to M1D63G and is downloading it !!!! quite funny really!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Can you post screenshot, or recovery logs?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
as requested
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
I mean OTA update process fail.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
huh not sure I understand..

OTA will not install??

this happened after flashing the above zip you uploaded..

it flashed perfectly but now says theres an update even though it has updated..

how do I get the log you requested?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Install update viw twrp and pull recovery logs.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
I did install via trwp! Now I have the mentioned issue!

how do I pull logs?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Until I dont take look at recovery logs, I cant help you.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
and I asked how to get logs!!!!

tried adb pull /tmp/recovery.log but fails
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Via adb you can pull the log. The most up-to-date log can be pulled with this command:

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

You may also be able to find the log in cache. It can either be in /cache/recovery/log or /cache/recovery/last_log
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
please note screen capture!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
Please note screen capture
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
I'm afraid that old recovery logs are deleted.

It was necessary to pull logs right after update...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
Flashed the OTA, everything seems to be fine, will report if any issues occur.

There is one issue however, in both 3.0 MWD49B version and with OTA installed: Root does not seem to work (tested with Advanced Settings app which complains at startup if there is no root). Reflashing SuperSU and Busybox fixes the issue.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
You are right. Ota break root functionality.

If necessary- I can repack package with root.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
That woudl be good. did you figure out why theres no recovery logs?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] matejdro:
No, I meant root was broken even before OTA (with just pure 3.0 ROM flashed)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] bednar1988:
I just flashed the update package with the kernel, flashing process went smoothly. I have pulled the recovery log straight after flashing just in case, but since it was successfull I don't think you will need it. No root indeed, could you share supersu and busybox files for flashing them separately?

I'll charge the watch to 100% and leave if overnight to see the battery drain per hour. And tomorrow I'll observe general behavior and report back if I spot that something misbehaves.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] bednar1988:
Thanks Matejdro, I just installed it and all worked fine.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] joethc:
After trying to flash this latest update multiple times (stock through stock recovery or alex6600 modded rom in twrp or a mixture of both) I seem to always lose the ability to run adb except in twrp I can luckily push/pull files.. It always fails to flash but it still ends up with a space error and it will report as being on M1D63G in settings with no adb access at all...it looks as if commands work but they arent doing anything...I have tried numerous versions and redownloaded files to make sure it wasnt something simple like that..... last night I tried to flash the 2 core version and I lost bluetooth and after a full wipe I still was missing BT share files and unable to pair at startup ....I was able to restore system in twrp (thankfully I did a backup and pulled it) I cant seem to figure out what the issue is, without adb and the ability to pull logs....kinda at a loss.....any suggestions appreciated!

EDIT: I never knew about xperia pc companion ...thanks for the heads up!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Have you enabled adb in Dev options or accepted the prompt to trust your computer when connected if so and it still doesnt work look for a guide on how to debug over Bluetooth I think that you can still pull logs using this option.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] joethc:
Yeah thanks, I actually use bt adb all the time unless pushing huge files ....yes it was enabled....would not work....

I have no explaination of what happened and why I lost bluetooth all I did was wipe and flash these packages...I always check file sizes ...I have since flashed the latest stock update using pc companion...pushed twrp and super su through fastboot flashed the new 4 core kernel and have now sideloaded about 30 apps.... Just wanted to warn people its not always a cake walk always be prepared for the worst
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Is there going to be a v4 for this rom or do I have to flash the kernel to be on the latest?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
For now- flash ota or update through PC Companion, and flash kernel
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Can kernel be flashed through recovery?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
I can make zip for twrp.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Oh if you could do that that would be nice
[Sony Smartwatch 3] bednar1988:
So I've been testing the latest rom for last few days and I must say it's running without any issues. All functions are working, GPS locks faster than in the previous build. Battery drain is around 2% per hour with mild usage, with screen always-on. Tested with 2 cores kernel, no lags, works really smoothly. Thanks Alex:)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] bednar1988:
Since the last update I noticed that battery on my phone gets drained pretty fast. In BBS I can see that Bluetooth has hundreds of alarms and keeps phone awake.

Can it be connected somehow to the last Smartwatch update? On the phone itself, I rebooted, wipe dalvik & cache and upgraded CM to newest nightly but it's still the same.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
OP updated with version SW3_6.0.1_M1D63G_6000_userdebug_v1.

This version newer than distributed over OTA and PC Companion.

Kernel updated with latest AOSP sources android-wear-6.0.1_r0.38.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ranf:
Please explain: what's newer? Just kernel?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
All.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] colostro:
Thanks for your work

Any changelog?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
My changelog in OP.

Unfortunately Sony did not provide complete changelogs.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
Installation:

Put ROM to your virtual SDCard

Boot into TWRP recovery

Select "Install", and choose ROM zip file

After installation completed- reboot watch

If necessary - make full wipe

how does one get the Virtul SDcard option??? never had that...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
After a full wipe, 3 times, installing the latest update gives me a bluetooth error upon boot, no "pair" code is shown, and so I am not able to pair my watch with my phone. I tried 3 times, each time wiping everything except internal storage, and it keeps coming up with the same error over and over.

Advice?

*The Bluetooth error is related to Bluetooth Sharing which has crashed.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Never see this, while installing. Try to reinstall Android Wear app on phone.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Adb push zip /sdcard.

Or push zip to /cache partition and remove after installing.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
I ran the Xperia companion software repair tool and the watch is up and running again. It wasn't phone software in this case. Might try loading the update again soon.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Okay so I decided to update to the latest version and when I booted i got lots of fcs and I didnt have busybox or root installed. So I went to reboot to recovery to find out that it had been restored to stock no TWRP. So I then went into fastboot which then wouldnt detect the device on my pc with fastboot devices command so I decided to reboot the device to then have this happen:

I havw now restored the device using Xperia companion. I will try reinstalling the rom but I have one question [MENTION=949860]alex6600[/MENTION] how do I install TWRP? can I just use the normal file?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] colostro:
I had the same problem and I resolved using Xperia Companion
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
do you have a solution for me? i just tried to reflash twrp with fastboot flash recovery <TWRP> command but was unsuccessful. Do you have any idea how i can get TWRP back im on latest ver but not of this rom.

---------- Post added 15th August 2016 at 12:05 AM ---------- Previous post was 14th August 2016 at 11:21 PM ----------

I have managed to install recovery and the ROM successfully now thanks for your work its great. Will report any issues if discovered.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
So what is debug 10 eating all my battery?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
Arrr ok so not an actual VSD when watchnplugged in to pc/laptop..

I find that rebooting to twrp I can see my watch and transfer files with ease so no need for the ADB commands

Thank you for your hard work on latest version of the rom....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
Same question here.

what is debug 10 and why is it eating up my battery!???!!???
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Before on top for me was Idle process. I think that in this version debug is almost the same.

How about battery life in this version?

As for me- in this version better memory management and battery life. (After 2 weeks of use).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
If you want- I can repack ROM with TWRP instead of stock recovery.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] colostro:
I restored my watch with Xperia Companion, so I have again original MM 6.0.1...

EDIT: Now i reinstalled the ROM: works fine.

Thanks
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
One question- Are you wipe to factory flash new version before?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
Not idle..... This was overnight with dnd and theater mode enabled...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Compare battery life stock vs this version. And give report.

On previous versions I have Watch Idle at ~40%. Now I have Debug process ~20% and idle ~10%. With typical usage in both cases.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
Yeah I did everything is fine now. I think that crash happened cus i rebooted from fastboot holding power down. Also I couldnt do any fastboot commands because the device wasnt coming up as a fastboot device. All is working now thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
It's hard to say, but appreciate the perspective. I lost 22% battery life idle in 7 hours. Since my last post 2 hours and 14 minutes ago, I've lost 4% battery with zero notifications and it being idle on my desk (not on my wrist).

Not sure if that would be deemed good or not?

Mario
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
this is my battery usage since my last post today at 07:01 AM

this is extremely poor!!!!!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
After letting things settle down I am quite happy with this. Thank you!!!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
OP updated with M1D63G and TWRP recovery, instead stock.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] geogaddi47:
I keep getting "Bluetooth share has stopped" force close after performing a clean flash of the latest build. I have tried performing a wipe of data/cache but it doesn't help. Anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: Never mind, I have it working now.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] TheATHEiST:
..then why not share how you solved in case somebody else has same issue :confused:

I know it was not intentional but that kind of post always comes across as selfish to me.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] geogaddi47:
The question was already asked and answered earlier in the thread. I posted before seeing if others had the same problem, and since XDA doesn't have a delete post function, my post became irrelevant.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] RJASSI21:
I get play services has stopped constantly when watch disconnects from phone, connects to phone, or if I reboot phone or watch. Im not sure how to fix it though, if someone could help that would be appreciated.

Hello,

I have problem to enable "permissions" for apps because of "overlay screen" option enable by default. And I don't know where I can disable this option.... It appeared since I made a full reset of watch with last version of rom. Can someone help me please?

Thanks.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] msalvaro:
Hi everybody!

Please tell me if I am wrong. This ROM allows users to gain root privileges. Does it mean that I can fully exploit NFC features?

In other words, I am looking for a way to beam custom NDEF messages via NFC, or in any case, to treat the NFC module as a writable NFC tag.

Is it possible to achieve my goal with this ROM, and use NfcAdapter just like a regular Android smartphone?

If no, does anybody know how I can to that with build version MWD49B?

Thank you!

Mattia.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] cagaagac:
I had the same problem after updating the stock ROM.

I guess you have wear mini launcher installed. If so, disable it and you're good to go.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] mickael91210:
Ok, i did permission by permission quickly after reboots before wear mini launcher was launched certainly.... Thanks for information for future update I hope....

:laugh:Hay I'm thinking of getting a smartwatch 3 from Amazon and keep it stock do anyone know if Google will get Android Pay to support Android Wear since this watch support NFC :confused::laugh:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] KittenSauce:
You should probably ask the Q&A, Help, and Troubleshooting forum instead. As for the answer for your question, Google will probably support it in Android Wear 2.0. It's uncertain if we will ever officially receive this software for our watch, so if you want to stay on stock, you would need to get a different watch. However, Sony seems to announce their watch updates at the last moment, so you never know!

[Sony Smartwatch 3] kinder112:
Guys, just a heads up. If you are stuck in fastboot <waiting for device> and have Win 10 it's probably windows problem. IDK how to fix it, I just downloaded VirtualBox and Ubuntu image and installed from there without any problems. Hope this saves time for someone, as I sure wasted a lot of mine :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] daniel.weck:
Yes, it's a pain. Been there twice now!

To add Fastboot support for Tetra (device codename for Sony SmartWatch 3), you need to reboot in "unsafe" mode so that Windows does not check for driver signatures, and force-install a hacked USB driver INF file (based on Google's own from the Android SDK). Otherwise, your SW3 will be shown as an unrecognized device, and fastboot will hang forever in the command line (even if ADB works fine).

Check your Android SDK folder for the configuration file

android_winusb.inf

, for example on my machine:

android-sdk/extras/google/usb_driver/android_winusb.inf

...and add the following lines in both sections

[Google.NTx86]

and

[Google.NTamd64]

:

; SonyEricsson
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_0DDE
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_0DDE&REV_0001
%SingleBootLoaderInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_0DDE

Then update the device driver manually for your SW3.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
2- and 4-cores versions are here.

Enjoy. And give feedback.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] chavdar:
[MENTION=949860]alex6600[/MENTION]: Thanks for ROM I really appreciate your work!

Since the latest update I have a strange root issue - root is working on adb but the apps on the watch does not recognise one.

Is there a solution for this?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VOLTAGEROCK:
Yes! Finally someone with the same issue. I recorded my n5x while taking a video using my n5 and I'm going to see if I can upload it.

You'll be surprised at what the flash looks like. The first initial flash is fine but the second one is at like 1/4 the brightness and doesn't seem timed right. I called Google and they said to factory reset the phone and if it still occurs they'll send me a new one.

Like I really have time to backup everything and reset and send out the phone and get another.

As far as I'm concerned it's a problem with the software. I'm 100% on stock, not rooted and nothing helps. It does randomly work maybe 20% of the time. And it has nothing to do with rebooting.

I can't upload a video but I did attach a similar pic i took using the flash.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VOLTAGEROCK:
Unfortunately, the camera flash still didn't work immediately and up until now after the factory reset.

I fell asleep for a little bit and just woke up and tried again, and it works.

Exact behavior as prior to the reset.

A little off topic but I also did the reset to see if my Bluetooth connectivity issue gets resolved. The headset just stops receiving any stream of music while about 5 second in. And then randomly works.

This problem also continued afterwards. Very disappointing night but now I know it's time to use the warranty and call Google again.

Oh well. Just wanted to kick start this to try to help. Hoping to see if anyone else finds a solution.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garryboy:
Thanks mate for testing it out. The flash on mines is becoming intermittent. Does fail a lot more than it works though.

Seems to be more likely to work on a full charge but as battery depletes the flash begins to fail.

Other issues I have are laggy scrolling, terrible lag especially on the keyboard whilst charging the phone.

None of these issues I experienced with my Nexus 5.
