[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdho:
Hi all,

I need your help. Given what I already (unsuccessfully) tried, I'm not sure if there will be a solution, at all...worst case, my Huawei Smartwatch isn't usable anymore,,,

Given that there is a preview version of WEAR Version 2.0 available, I thought it might be good idea to install and test. In fact, given that I manually/successfully installed the WEAR Version 1.4, some months ago, I was sure that I can manage to do it, with the preview version, as well.

I followed the steps, which you can find here developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads

The point is, after the update has been done (given the message in ADB) the Smartwatch didn't automatically start to reboot. I was waiting about 30- 40 minutes, but nothing happened. So, I rebooted the watch by my own, via the fastboot menu.

But, the watch was only booting up to the Huawei Logo and nothing more did happen. I was also waiting for 30 - 40 minuntes.

After that, I googled and found a way how to access the fastboot mode (long and shore pressing of the power button of the watch) Here I tried the possible options. But, I would say, the only option which worked was "shutdown". All the other option, except fastboot recovery, brought me to the same result, as described above. Finally, I tried fastboot recovery, which might have made the situation even worse...means, after the Huawei Logo I can see a fallen over "android" with a open flap / a sign with a bang plus some text lines. But, it's so fast disappearing, nobody can read...even this is coming up again and again.

Next what I wanted to try is, to flash the WEAR version 1.4 again. But, it seems to be that ADB doesn't find the Huawei device anymore. (command ADB Devices doesn't show me any device)

Meanwhile, even it is somehow not logical (as it was working before with my "Standard Win 10 PC and the drivers installed) I tried 3 different PC with different combinations of Windows Version (7,8, 10), USB Ports (2.0 and 3.0) and probably almost all Android USB Drivers you can find.on the WEB. I even followed a procedure how to modify the INF file with some HUAWEI specific entries. I also let the watch run, overnight, in the loop mode, so the battery got empty..which really didn't help, as once loaded again, the watch started with the "loop procedure" again. However, I tried all the steps I did before, once again.

Regarding ADB/Fastboot, I'm not using the full Android SDK package, but the minimal version, at first version 1.1.3 and the later 1.4.3. I also followed the hints to open a command line with shift and right click "in" the respective ADB folder.

So, as you can read, I already tried a lot of thinks with no luck. in fact, I wasn't able to find anything more when I googled.

Hope you / some Android "guru's" can help me, now.

Here some of my current thoughts to which you have answers/comments.

1. Could it be, that the watch is totally broken and can't be "repaired" anymore?

2. Could it be, even the watch is in the fastboot mode, that the watch really isn't in a "full" one (...because the upgrade procedure of WAER 2.0 somehow failed) and this might be the reason, why ADB can't find the device anymore?

3. If 2. is really the case, is there any way to force a "full" fastboot mode?

4. Do you have any other idea, what can be done to make ADB aware of the device?

5. Is there meanwhile a specific ADB driver for the HUAWEI watch available? / Can somebody send me a link to a driver which is definitely working with that watch.

6.Whatever you can think of.

I really would appreciate any help to get my problem fixed.

Thanks in advance
