Want to root/twrp Zenwatch 2 m6e69n - ANY HELP would be GREAT!!!

I got my Z2 m6e69n about a week ago (10/16/16) and it's great but I want root & twrp like I have on my other Android devices. Don't know that it matters, I'm using LS990 (Sprint LG G3 on KK 4.4.2). I've been searching XDA and YouTube for clear, detailed info on how to root and get TWRP on the watch but not having a lot of luck.

What I have found is:

- I have activated developer options

- How to get into recovery, how to access bootloader, how to unlock bootloader (http://xdaforums.com/zenwatch/general/guide-how-to-access-recovery-zenwatch-t3167623) THANKS to arbitercu

...but nothing detailed about installing TWRP. Maybe I'm blind or just not understanding but any help would be great. I simply don't want to BRICK my Zenwatch.

- ALSO, VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE with ADB and side loading which I think might be important to mention.

- Last thing, basically want to get some of the BLOAT off the device and get the most out of it.

Almost forgot:

- Zenwatch 2 m6e69n Sparrow (1.63")

Thanks in advance!

How about a little more googling. http://xdaforums.com/zenwatch-2/orig-development/wip-unofficial-twrp-v2-8-7-0-t3321199/

Be careful what you remove. The watch won't function properly without some apps.

Could someone provide fastboot flashable .IMG files?

I've ****ed up my watch quite hard by grabbing the wrong system image while the watch was still locked, now I can't even boot it anymore or restore a TWRP backup because the file system seems to be corrupt. I can't save anything in /sdcard without it getting wiped again after a reboot.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Lrs121:
What happens when you boot twrp using fastboot? If you can get into twrp, with the bootloader unlocked you might be able to reformat the partitions.

On a side note I think you can format the partitions from fastboot mode
[Asus ZenWatch 2] EpicLPer:
Yeah, I've managed to repair the partitions by erasing and formatting them via fastboot, for whatever reason only formatting them didn't help... I have no clue why. Except boot I've erased + formatted every partition, then booted TWRP via "fastboot boot TWRP" and then was able to push TWRP backup files onto /data/media (/sdcard was broken still for whatever reason). After the first boot it somehow fixed /sdcard too tho it was missing all of its files on there. I simply did a factory reset of the watch after this and now it seems to be back and working again, tho I'm not fully sure because TWRP seems to have some problems still but that could be due to the wonky and, sorry, "****ty" port of TWRP 3.0 someone else made.
[Asus ZenWatch 2] Lrs121:
That's good you got it working. As for twrp if I remember right there were some issues with 3.0.0 regarding Android wear that were fixed in later versions. Ever since my galaxy s3, I've taken to building my own for the devices I have or have had. I make them available on my website.

I tried this command :

but, Failed to get the recovery ( 0 byte)

then i google, then i try change the command like this :

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/stockrecovery.IMG

is it right?

That looks right. I do it with TWRP fastboot booted, you don't need to issue the su command that way.

Hey [MENTION=6271934]RoyanArt[/MENTION], you have the TWRP backup link pointing to the stock recovery. I had to back up a couple of directories to see the actual TWRP backup. TWRP link should point to:

[Asus ZenWatch 2] RoyanArt:
Thank for the suggestion :)

I did it, because I want to make it easy to understand for everyone who dont know about TWRP, backup, etc :)

I forgot that the problem is the cloud storage (google drive), so you can't download TWRP folder, then you had to back up a couple of directories to see the actual TWRP backup.. I'll move it to other cloud storage in zip file :)

The N8013 firmware is the same than the N8010. It is just the US version whereas the other one is the international one, that's the only difference.

You can even flash the N8000 firmware, it wil work properly but as it is a 3G version you don't really need it on your N8010 ;)

I came from a Note 4 and then S7E to the V20. AMOLED has such a tremendous saturation of colors that no LCD will ever be able to compete on that front.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] libb:
Hello, can anybody compare real user experience of Pixel vs S7?

I would like to know if the screen of Pixel is or isn't significantly worse that the screen of S7. I'm not afraid of resolution but S7 has excellent brightness.

I'm going to switch from S7 to Pixel when it will be available in my country but the screen is my biggest concern.

Thanks
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] robstunner:
I have an Exynos, international S7 Edge:

Screen is better on the S7, but its not saying that the pixel screen is bad. Its great and you wont tell the difference unless you try VR. Then, you'll notice the difference. Outdoors, S7 screen is brighter.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] wendellc:
I played with the pixel at Verizon since mine hasn't yet arrived. The superAmoled on S7 is noticeably better in every aspect than the Pixel's AMOLED. The S7 is QHD vs Pixel's HD but the Pixel's screen is very good and you will not be disappointed.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] libb:
I'm OK with QHD vs FullHD but I'm used to Galaxy screens (S6, S7) and e.g. they are able to increase brightness on sunlight. I have to wait until I would to compare them personally.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] _Belial:
The screen on my S7Edge is much better than my pixel one, I also miss wireless charging. Day to day I find the pixel a little quicker and prefer the smaller form factor on my pixel, I've got a few days before I can send it back to decide if it's a keeper or not.

The main thing for me was the camera, I'm still undecided on that one

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] robstunner:
I'm with you. My exynos s7 edge is slightly smaller, was cheaper, and has the benefit of better screen, battery, wireless chsrging, Samsung pay as well as pretty quick updates. Hard time deciding here as well.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] lirong:
This is really interesting feedback as I am trying to decide right now between the Pixel and the S7.

The two things I am pretty interested in knowing about are battery life and durability (Ive had an S4 for years, dropped it plenty of times and while there are a few dings around the edges, that phone keeps on rocking).

Anyone else have thoughts after having used both phones?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Protibus:
I love this phone after coming from the S7. Battery life is phenomenal compared to the S7. It is not uncommon for me to have 6 hours of sot and still have 40% left on battery. Something the S7 couldn't touch on a good day.

I don't have the pixel yet but wish they added wireless charging like the S7.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] Huffy1:
Hi guys, the Zenfone 3 deluxe supports qualcom quick charge 3.0 however it seems to be locked to the oem charger. Any other licenced qc 3.0 charger does not quick charge the phone. How hard would it be to get around this? Mainly for qc 3.0 powerbanks.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] rynaus:
This is not true. I am using this one - https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01EH11AS8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and the quick charge 3.0 works fine. I am still using the original type-c cable that came with the phone though.

Note: Make sure that you have plugged in the USB end of the charger correctly, push it all the way in. If it's only pushed in partially, then you may not be getting the full power for Quick Charge. You can verify this by using a tool like AIDA64 from the playstore and checking the "Charge Rate" under battery.

15min charge with licenced qc3.0 gives 13%

15min charge with oem charger gives 27%

Same test with screen on (playing video)

15mins with either charger yields about 15%, no noticible difference. Seems like the oem charger throttles when screen is on.

All tests are run when the battery is below 20%.

Same oem cable used for all tests.

Using the oem charger to fully charge my phone does it nearly twice as fast as the qc3.0 charger.

Don't know how your able to achieve the same speed regardless of charger :(

Hi guys, I've been experiencing the same problem with original charger, that's very big and it's seems that didn't have quick charge. I've a samsung charger and with samsung charger it wroks fine. I'll try to well plug thw original , but, it's thinner samssung's one.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] rynaus:
Interesting ... I stand corrected now regarding the "Fast Charging" on the lock screen.

I never used the original charger because I bought mine directly from Taiwan which has an US plug which I cannot use here in Germany directly without an extension.

I tried the OEM charger now with an adapter and yes you are right, the Charge Rate with the OEM charger is 2 times faster than with other chargrers.

OEM charger - 2900ma charge rate

Other charger - 1300ma charge rate

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Actually now I'm confused. When I plugged in the OEM charger, it said "Fast Charging" for a short while and then it says "Charging". The Charge rate also came down from 3000ma to 1300ma and down to 800ma when the battery is at 90%.

I will do some proper tests with the different chargers and post back.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] rynaus:
Confirmed: OEM charger is much faster than other QC 3.0 chargers
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] Huffy1:
When the phone reaches 70-80%, the charging rate will slow down and just trickle charge. This is normal as it can be dangerous to keep charging at Fast speeds when the battery is close to full capacity. So if your phone has 80% and you put it on charge, it will not Fast charge regardless of the charger you use.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] rynaus:
Thanks for the information :)
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] pacattack81:
I can also confirm fast charging doesn't work with my QC 2.0 charger. Interesting thing to note is it outputs 5V - 2A and 9V -2A. My guess is this charger from Asus that fast charges the Zenfone 2 would work on our phones because it has the same outputs if you read the description. It's worth a shot and you could always return it to Amazon if it doesn't work.

It would be nice to remove the red light when the phone is charging. Maybe it's something that can only be removed after rooting?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] pacattack81:
Unfortunately, even though the charger referenced above has the same outputs it doesn't fast charge. Seems you can only fast charge with the included charger. At least we can use our own charging cable. If anyone gets another charger to fast charge the device let us know. It doesn't appear Asus sells the included charger on it's webpage yet.

Not allowing the standard quickcharge charger to work forces people to once again purchase / replace current QC chargers.

One tick to the CONs side of the evaluation.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] lssong99:
At this moment, I don't really think it's a CON side...

The quality of all those QC2.x/3.x charger are not even today (may get better in future, however I really doubt those cheap, knock-off charger from China). Some are good, some are outright bad. QC is quite sensitive with the voltage/current delivered by the charger (it's by design of QC, I believe) and not optimum voltage/current will shorten the battery life at best, create danger at worst scenario.

LiPo battery is really not designed to be charged in high speed. The associated temperature issues needs to be check very carefully and charge current needs to be controlled strictly to avoid dangerous thermal runaway. It cannot only be done by phone itself and need co-work from adaptor (switching voltage, for instance.) Thus an adaptor which have good communication with phone is a safety requirement as far as QC is concerned.
