[Sony Smartwatch 3] kinder112:
Hello,

I've been using your previous rom and I'm currently trying to update to the newest one but for some reason I've faced multiple problems.

OTA didn't work but I understand that's cause I'm using custom recovery and rom.

I tried adb sideload but it seems to fail halfway through, no idea why.

I red the advice to copy the rom through PC but I don't get SmartWatch 3 mounted in anyway when I'm in TWRP.

Can anyone give me some advice/help? Probably something simple I'm missing cause I'm quite an Android noob :D but as I'm sitting already 3h+ on it it starts to annoy me a lot. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUMINIT]:
1. Adb push romname.zip /sdcard/ while booted into system, not TWRP

2. Boot into TWRP

3. Go to install > sdcard > romname.zip

4. Profit
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kinder112:
Thanks, I'll try this at home. Seems that my messing around yesterday has broken GPS tracking somehow cause my whole bike ride to work was 0.0km 0km/s. although it properly recognized when GPS signal was available from phone.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] kinder112:
OK, seems that the problem was with TWRP, I reflashed with the one from #1 and it has totally different UI now so it must be different version. All problems gone now.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] citydweller1985:
I don't know if its a problem with this rom or with google maps. Everytime i open google maps on the smartwatch it crashes immediately. First i wiped with twrp and then flashed the rom cleanly.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] lohtse:
no issue for me with this rom or google maps... could be maps needs updating..
[Sony Smartwatch 3] [NUMINIT]:
Works fine for me too.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] andrewia:
In my testing, low bit doesn't save any battery but you can disable it if you like by opening /system/build.prop and adding the line

ro.ambient.low_bit_enabled=true

You can also enable Developer Options, go to Wear Developer Options, and turn on low bit there.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Low bit mode should not greatly affect battery life.

For turn off- take look here https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidWea...an_disable_low_bit_ambient_mode_to_make_your/

Or uncomment ro.ambient.low_bit_enabled=true in /system/build.prop, advised above.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Yes. December is the latest.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] ffxmadman:
Thanks for the reply. Any way for developers to install latest Android security updates to the ROM? Cause Sony does not update the SW3 any longer
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Latest patches to kernel are present in tetra kernel.

As for ROM- Sony does not update SW3 anymore.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Eggleston11:
ROM and kernel are working awesomely! Fast, stable, better battery and I like the curved corners too :)

Only complaint is that it needs a better name haha :p

adb debug

Hi everyone, I just flashed the last ROM in this thread (4 cores version) through twrp, after making fatory reset. Everything is working perfectly except for usb debug. I activate it on my watch, then try to use it in my linux box, and the watch doesn't ask for permissions, so I cannot allow the computer to connect.

$ adb devices

List of devices attached

14462D28F9A3706	no permissions; see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]

Has this happent to anyone before, or there is anyone who can find a workaround to it?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] KittenSauce:
I believe I had this issue, or a similar one, on a Debian machine of mine. I think I fixed it by running ADB/fastboot as superuser.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] gilcu3:
Thank you for your reply. I just tried with superuser in my arch linux machine, and got the same results. The prompt for the computer signature doesn't appear on the watch. I have to add that I get adb working while in twrp (i get a rooted shell). In fastboot mode I get :

no permissions; see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]	fastboot

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

I just solved the problem with a combination of pieces I found elsewhere. I'm posting just for future reference.

First I entered adb shell in twrp, and erased file:

# rm /data/misc/adb/adb_keys

then rebooted watch

In the computer I did (as root):

# adb kill-server

# adb start-server

After rebooting watch on my computer:

$ adb shell

and finally got the prompt asking to accept permissions :D

EDIT: fastboot mode still doesn't work, shows the same as before:

no permissions; see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]	fastboot

EDIT1: following this:https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/help/unable-to-fastboot-ubuntu-16-04-lts-t3571747 I got fastboot working when executing it as root in computer. I checked and indeed lsusb shows different usb pid when booting normally and in fastboot mode. Is it normal?

Hey guys

i have a totally noob question cause i never had a custom ROM on my smartwatch 3 before. I know how to get TWRP to my phone and use custom roms on my phones for a longer time.

i would really appreciate it if someone could tell me:

1. which TWRP Version i need for this ROM

2. is there any risk flashing this ROM ?

3. what else do i need to get this ROM running on my Smartwatch 3 ?

thank you in advance and kind regards from Germany
[Sony Smartwatch 3] finneus_:
i figured out how to get this ROM working on my SW3 thanks for the tutorial [MENTION=7070345]KittenSauce[/MENTION] atleast i think i have it installed. About section in settings shows Build Number: M1D64T v1
[Sony Smartwatch 3] derchrome:
Hi guys,

I wanted to setup the system new on my watch. Unfortunately it doesn`t work anymore. Whenever I try to flash recovery it always says that there is not enough space:

"writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: image too large for partition recovery)

finished. total time: 10.395s"

Any ideas how to solve this?

EDIT: FORGET ABOUT IT, THE PROBLEM LAYS BETWEEN KEYBOARD AND CHAIR :cool:
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Likn'_ùs:
Hi all! As others have already asked.. is it possibile to have the NFC chip working on this ROM? (I need to use it to read glucose data from my Libre sensors...) Thanks a lot and peace ! ;)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] tom1ko:
NFC

I tried but by uploading NFC drivers from version 5.1 I do not want NFC to work. You need Uses insecure kernel (with SElinux disabled) and disables signature checks in services.jar - does anyone know how to do it on version 6.0.1?:confused:

[Sony Smartwatch 3] The4anoni:
[MENTION=949860]alex6600[/MENTION] can you integrate you 3.14.55 4 core kernel in this rom ? When I update kernel i am losing root :(
[Sony Smartwatch 3] KittenSauce:
I think you can just replace the boot.img in the ROM zip, and flash it that way.

I don't see how flashing a kernel could remove root, anyway.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] The4anoni:
I flashed ROM ,then i shutted wach off then flashed kernel via fastboot and no root :(
[Sony Smartwatch 3] KittenSauce:
Did you try testing for root without flashing the new kernel first? I'm not sure this ROM even comes with root pre-installed.

EDIT: It does. I am a fool.

How are you testing for root?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] The4anoni:
I've restored stock via Xperia Companion ,then I flashed rom ,twrp ,busybox and nothing else. Root works like a charm.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] illanz:
Hi everyone,

I've followed the steps and managed to install the SW3 6.0.1 M1D64T V1 but 'im stuck with the google play services version 8.7.0.1

I absolutely need to have an updated version of google play services because otherwise none of my phone apps are synced (I need to use the watch for diabetes management app)

I've spent days to try the OTA update of play services (wifi only , bluetooth off, for several days etc. ) and nothing worked.

Could someone please help me to update the play service version ??

This is a matter of health !! ^^

Thank you very much

Daily usage

Hello everyone,

Whats about Daily use?

I use my smartwacht 3 always for bike riding and its realy nice.

But It would be nice to have more functions like NFC Payments and more battery life.

Is it better than stock wear os? or is it only a nice to have for developers?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] simika:
installed it today.. working great thank you :)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Thomas_xxxxx:
How could I recognize which version of ROM from first post download? There are plenty of them. And does this ROM contain slovak language? Because I have Andorid 6.0.1 in watch but there are only few languages available. Thank you for help.

Reposting here from kernel thread.

Hello, I these days did anyone was able to root this kernel with magisk? I can't do it but on stock kernel everything goes ok. I really would love to have 2 more cores with magisk. Thank all for help.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] bozinsky73:
Just to report. V2 with 4 cores is very fast and smooth, but drains the tiny sw3 battery in less than 8 hours, with just few minutes of display on.

Of course, somone may say that my battery is 5 years old, but with V1 and its 2 cores enabled it can still works 40 hours on my wrist

Cheers

Is there already an NFC patch for 6.0.1?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Ryanh2308:
I cannot seem to get fastboot to fire up properly... just sits there awaiting device... any clues?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] steve8x8:
[MENTION=11007479]Ryanh2308[/MENTION] did you follow the recommendation to start from powered-down state, then go into USB mode and (not connecting the watch yet!) to fastboot from there? See the indented response in https://www.reddit.com/r/smartwatch3/comments/3hwe6o/how_do_you_boot_the_sw3_in_to_recovery_mode/ - it may be worth to try another cable and/or clean the microUSB socket of the watch (remove from band to have full access).

Note that the instructions, if followed completely, will get you into recovery mode - stop at the right point ;)
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Ryanh2308:
I have tried 2/3 different cables, it picks it up just find when you adb into it and tell it to reboot in fastboot but soon as you get to fastboot it then sits there going ..... what? if you catch my drift
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Tschipla:

Hi @Alex.

Would it be possible to bake in an updated version of google services into these ROMS? or is that not posisble.

Occasionally I need to factory reset the watch and wthout ADB you can't, as we know restore full app sync. It would save a lot of fannying around.

Hi Alex,

I am using the latest ROM with 2-cores kernel, battery life is very good. But since yesterday I noticed that screen doesn't go off autmatically. It stays on all the time until I cover it with the palm. I rebooted the watch yesterday and the issue was gone but today it's back.

Do you need me to provide you some log data?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dysfunkshun:
OK, I've been scouring everywhere and cannot find an answer. I can't get my computer to recognize my SW3. I've downloaded tons of drivers, updated SDK, and nothing seems to work. My PC is windows 10 and my SW3 is on MDW, I just want to be able to root it and possibly try any kernals to try to squeeze some better battery life out of it! Thank you for any help!!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] Macusercom:
I did a video about this (for Windows 10). Maybe this helps you. You need to have the Google Drivers and to edit the device's name:

[YOUTUBE]I8jeoDKGZKw[/YOUTUBE]
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
With latest base time while screen off after ambient is bigger then in previous. And this not kernel related, IMHO (correct me if I mistakes).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
I've been reading all over and can't find a definite answer on this...

I am currently on MEC24H, locked bootloader. If I unlock the bootloader, can I take future updates if they come out on a stock rom?

For example, if I run the xperia manager and go back to stock, can I then run updates from there? Is the bootloader relockable?

I'm quite happy with MEC24H, but I've read the update solves some issues, while causing battery life issues. I wanted to try out the update without being stuck on it (going back to MEC24H if I hate it).

Any follow up would be great.

Thank you!
[Sony Smartwatch 3] KittenSauce:
Yes, you can update your watch with an unlocked bootloader, and the bootloader will not relock. You can relock the bootloader by typing "fastboot oem lock" instead of "fastboot oem unlock", I think (no quotation marks, of course).
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
MWD49B auto installed itself this morning! So... Can I unlock my bootloader and load MEC24H (go backward) without issue?

Or is there something in the update that'd hose my watch?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] dysfunkshun:
I watched the video a few times and tried to follow along, but my device never shows up in device manager to update its driver. I have no "other" tree to find my device. I think my SW3 is trying to tell me not to root...
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
If you want to downgrade to MEC24H, download and flash proper ROM from OP, and change version string in /system/build.prop for disable autoupdate.

If you don't know how to do that- PM me.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
I really appreciate your response. From looking around, you are one of the primary and only contributors to this device, you're work is extremely appreciated.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] geogaddi47:
Is it possible to downgrade without rooting? I can't root my watch as it's not recognised by my PC.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
You need only unlock bootloader in fastboot mode.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] geogaddi47:
Unfortunately, I can't unlock the bootloader as my watch is not detected by my PC. I have installed the correct ADB drivers etc and I can't see it in device manager at all.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] alex6600:
Reboot you watch in fastboot mode, install fastboot drivers and try 'fasboot devices'.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] geogaddi47:
I can't get my PC to recognise it, even in fastboot. The watch is charging but my PC doesn't see it at all. It's weird because a few weeks ago I managed to get ADB to detect it, but now it's as if I haven't even plugged it in.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] KittenSauce:
Have you tried using a different USB cable?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] geogaddi47:
Yes, and several different PCs. It's definitely the watch that is at fault.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] KittenSauce:
Oh, my. Are you sure it doesn't show up in device manager? I think it would be "Tetra" with a yellow exclamation mark. The fastboot drivers have to be manually installed, for some reason.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] geogaddi47:
Nothing is displayed in the device manager. The watch is charging but the PC doesn't detect it at all. I've tried installing various different ADB drivers and booting into fastboot but it doesn't help.
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:
Maybe try creating a secondary profile (login) on your machine, then plug your watch in that and reset up ADB, fastboot etc. Windows can be weird with drivers, etc. I'd almost venture to say it's more on the computer side, than the watch side....
[Sony Smartwatch 3] desantim:

Try that - I had an issue with Fastboot oem unlock working with my adb install and drivers. After installing that (just did it today, I know it works), I didn't even ave to reboot, and everything started working. That should get you fixed I bet.

[Sony Smartwatch 3] Simba83:
I also had problems with Windows 10 (guess you use 10), didn't get things working there. I used Linux to get things working. You could download a ubuntu, mint dist and install it as a liveusb then everything should work fine even for you. (dumb question have you activated ADB in development settings?)

hello can such kernel be build and used for adding the ncf package and get full nfc support like in the 5.1.1 version
[Sony Smartwatch 3] daniel.weck:
Hello!

thank you alex6600 for maintaining this ROM :)

Heads-up: there seems to be a new OTA update: M1D63G

http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch-3/general/update-m1d63g-t3426788

Does anybody know what the changes are?

By the way, I'm a new Smartwatch 3 owner, but I am used to flashing custom ROMs / kernels on Android devices.

I don't have time to compile/build my own packages anymore, so I appreciate XDA members sharing their work :)

As a fresh Android Wear user, I played with the stock ROM for a few hours (latest Marshmallow v6 OTA update).

My SW3 is now running SWR50_6.0.1_MWD49B.zip (downloaded from http://sw3.alex.pl.ua/ROM/6/SWR50_6.0.1_MWD49B.zip , as linked in the first post of this forum thread).

So far, no issues. I get quick GPS fixes, reliable bluetooth pairing with my phone, and decent performance.

By the way, unlocking the bootloader was of course very easy (fastboot oem unlock), and the long-press + double-press button trick (for first-time access to Fastboot mode) was easy to find on XDA and other user forums.

However, forcing the installation of the non-certified Sony USB driver for the detected unknown Tetra hardware device on Windows 10 was not trivial ;)

I had to read quite a few discussion threads in order to figure out what was wrong, which confused me at first because ADB over USB was working just fine ... oh, and I even installed the Sony XPeria companion app to perform a firmware update on the SW3, thinking it would help (it didn't). The rest was easy though: I loaded into TWRP recovery using the img file linked in the first post of this thread, then I flashed the OP's ROM, cleared cache etc., and then I booted straight into a nice fresh rooted / optimized Android Wear environment :)

Thanks again!!

Cheers, Dan
