I agree. Thank you for your patience, [MENTION=593681]negamann303[/MENTION]. Enjoy vacation and when you get to an update, you get to it. I'm still using your wear 1.5 ROM. It's great.

for me the 1.1 of this rom is smoothest than this new version. how is it possible? the 1.2 is very slowly

no...but i was hoping there would be an update now so i can disable the screen from turning on by touch. with this, battery would easily go more than 1 day.
[Huawei Watch] neonixxx:
That should be an option in the Advanced Settings app.

i'm assuming you haven't been following the thread...that doesn't work.
[Huawei Watch] denndenn:
go into TWRP and mount the system:

adb pull /system/usr/idc/synaptics_dsx.idc

make a backup of this file.

open synaptics_dsx.idc with an editor and delete: "touch.wake = 1", save the file.

adb push synaptics_dsx.idc /system/usr/idc/

and restart the watch , now the feature is off, permanently!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys,

Let me say upfront that this is embarrassing!!! I've been on XDA and flashing firmware and custom roms since the days of the HTC Sensation and the LG G2X (which btw was a real beast in those days, it just didn't work, LOL). I've worked with my devices and with friends and families devices without any problems, UNTIL NOW. I don't know anyway to flash this incredible looking rom without connecting the watch to the PC so I can run ADB and Fastboot. Right there is the problem, I've tried everything I know to get this watch to connect to my PC so that I can flash this rom and no joy. So far this is what I've tried, installed and tried "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" and it actually did connect just long enough for me to unlock it, then it never saw the watch again. No matter what I did with ADB and Fastboot it wouldn't see the watch. Figured I needed drivers so I downloaded them from this site and others, no joy. Then using my Wondershare Forensic mobile software installed every USB driver Huawei ever released, no joy. Then I installed the Android Naked USB driver, no joy. Tried ALL USB drivers for ALL Android devices, again with no affect. Then I bought and downloaded on both my PC and the watch PDAnet after some folks with the same issue were saying this was the solution, I don't doubt that for those people it was the solution, but for me the watch just sits on my desktop and laughs at me. Hell, today I even chewed up lots of space on my PC but installing the full version of Android Studio and still NADA!!!

I have read everything I could get my hands on and still I can't connect, of course it doesn't help that Huawei has the best smartwatch available, with one of the highest prices around, and yet they couldn't do any better then that damned silly disc as the way to charge and connect it to the PC, TOTALLY lame way to connect and charge that they could have possibly come up with. It's a shame that this really fab watch has such as weak connectivity procedure. That aside anyone who might have some idea's I would really appreciate the help. BTW, since my last connection to unlock the device till now the only change was going from Wear 1.5 to 2.0. In a normal troubleshooting manner I would say that the problem is in Wear 2 software, but if that's true I sure can't see it, which is why I'm reaching out for help...............:o

Thanks,

Krissy:cool:
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Sounds like you are on Windows. Try this:

I've posted this many times in the various Huawei forums and it has worked for everyone so far.

First, remove all other drivers using USBDeview.

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

Then use this tutorial to manually install the Google USB driver.

Good luck!

GREAT, GREAT INFO Pkt_Lnt!!!!

You would have thought that I might have heard of the ADB-Fastboot ISO by now but this is the first time I've ever seen it, fabulous idea. As soon as I get supper cooked and on the table for the family I'll be right back down here trying this, thanks so much for responding and giving me an new approach, I really appreciate the insight and will let you know either tonight or in the morning the results. I love the watch but I still cannot believe they came up with such a lame connector, I guess they figured that out since they changed the data cable for the HW2. Looks allot more secure. I'll hit you up shortly and thanks again.

Anyone able to get root back on v1.2 of the rom?

Just bad form / waste of bandwidth ;)
[Huawei Watch] Isis111:
Well I said I'd come back and tell you how it went. I give up, either there is something wrong with the watch or I'm an idiot.

I tried everything you suggested and more. After I went through all the options you gave me and they all failed for me I went a bit further. Took my laptop and downgraded from Win10 to Win7 and tried all your options again, again they failed. Did the Fastboot and ADB on a Arch Linux boot disk and still no joy. I've never seen an Android device I couldn't connect to till now. Guess I'll wait to see if Huawei actually puts out a USB driver.

I've spent two days on this damn watch and I'm over it

Thanks for trying to help

Krissy
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
One very basic question. I know you have experience in this, and you unlocked the bootloader successfully. But have you gone back into watch Developer mode and verified that adb debugging is enabled? If so, try to revoke adb debug permissions on the watch and try to connect it again to get prompted on the watch. I've seen many posts about this in the Android Wear and Huawei watch forums and never have I seen this fail with adb debug enalbed, unlocked, and Google USB driver on Win or native Linux. Good luck!

I just had to go through the watch setup yesterday after a factory reset with a new phone clean ROM install, so I could run adb shell commands for DND and Theater mode workarounds. It is a P.I.T.A! Thanks to the fact that I use Linux 99.9% of the time, it works, just takes a lot of time.
[Huawei Watch] negamann303:
I'm still around guys. I tried fresh install of 1.2 three times now and I get root with it every time! Very frustrating haha. I'm trying my best to emulate how one wouldn't have to root on fresh install
[Huawei Watch] Isis111:
PK, can you tell me how to connect the device through Linux. I loaded Ubuntu in a dual boot situation with Win10 hoping I could figure out how to get this rom flashed through Linux. I could also load Android x86 and see if that helps. Never seen anything like this. I did try revoking debugging but so far it didn't help, I'm thinking about resetting the watch as you did and see if that helps, running under Ubuntu. I do need a bit of help in knowing how to actually scan the system under Ubuntu to tell the OS to find the watch. Any commands that you can send my way would be great.

Krissy
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Linux will detect it automatically if you run "adb devices" command (no quotes) in terminal with the watch connected to the computer. No drivers or other mumbo jumbo jumping through hoops.

I just make sure the watch shows charging when connected to the computer via the dock.

Then run "adb devices", it will start the adb daemon and give the serial number.

Then run "adb reboot bootloader"

From there it is all fastboot commands to flash recovery, etc.
[Huawei Watch] melvinaury:
Today I decide to install this ROM, I do the following steps:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Push ROM, Recovery and Kernel to watch.

3. Install TWRP Recovery (Using Windroid Toolkit Version 3.1)

4. Reboot to recovery (replace recovery with the negalite recovery 3.0.3 v 1.5)

5. Wipe data, Install ROM, Kernel and LG Watch faces

6. Then boot the watch, all work perfect.

But, I only had one concern. When I turn on the watch or reboot the watch I received an error message for several seconds on the screen. I attached a screenshot of the error.

What I need to do, to eliminate that error...-
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
That is the unlocked bootloader. Lock bootloader and it goes away.

However, that is not recommended with a custom ROM, so leave it unlocked or go back to full stock and re-lock it. You *know* why that shows since you did the steps you outlined and modified the stock software that throws the error.

It is a simple warning, no concern since you *know* you altered the firmware.
[Huawei Watch] melvinaury:
Ok, i leaved that way. But that happen to all the others that install the ROM?
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, because everyone has to unlock the bootloader to install a ROM and that triggers the error message. It is not just you.

That is why this message is in post #1. ;)
[Huawei Watch] melvinaury:
Ok, perfect. A note can be added that indicate that a message will be display. It's not the same indicate the warranty are void, than a security message will be display when turn on or boot. It's not a big deal... But itvcould be mentioned,
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
It has been mentioned here -> post on 06-11-2017, 02:46 PM |#251

Those who research before flashing custom would have seen that. In development forums, users should research and know the risks *before* that make device alterations. :good:
[Huawei Watch] melvinaury:
Ok, perfect. I had more than 6 years flashing ROMs and it's the first time I see that message.

Thanks....
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
That message just showed up with the AW 2.0 update, was not in 1.5 when this thread started. First and only time I have seen it or anything like it as well.
[Huawei Watch] melvinaury:
That's correct, I also install aw 1.5 rom and don't saw the message on my two clocks.
[Huawei Watch] Isis111:
Unreal

I simply cannot believe it. I loaded Ubuntu and it see's the watch and thought to myself, wow this going to be easy. And then just as I was starting to push, ADB comes up with both "device unauthorized" and "device Offline". I sure hope Huawei people aren't around, I just might get arrested, grrrr!
[Huawei Watch] Pkt_Lnt:
Both of those mean that adb is not enabled or not authorized on the watch, easy fix, make sure it is enabled in developer options, and check the watch when those come up on the computer for the prompt on the watch.

There isn't a SU manager? Sorry I haven't got time to go through the entire thread. Can someone tell me if I should download a SuperSU apk and adb install it?
[Huawei Watch] amh10:
Are you looking to be rooted with full SU capabilities? I installed magisk 13.3 via TWRP and never looked back!!
[Huawei Watch] LSS4181:
Having used this version since it came out... just that some issues:

- Advanced Settings complain the system is not rooted (though I really haven't used too much of it).

- The pedometers on Explorer watch face stopped working, though recently I discovered it's still working and can be read from the Fit app. It used to work on AW 1.5 (including earlier NX ROMs).

By the way, I didn't install the new bootloader (which would show the bootloader unlocked and warranty void notice upon boot). As my watch is still functional (even Play Store can work), it appears the new bootloader is not a requirement. Also, will consider Magisk a try, but does official Magisk zips work out-of-box (without ending up auto-booting to recovery)?
[Huawei Watch] pmgnet:
Do you mind if I ask what you use root on watch for? I have all my devices(phones, tablets, shield tv, etc) rooted except my watch, for which I haven't found any use of SU.

It is amazing though that Magisk works on the watch!
[Huawei Watch] BIade:
root shell commands? beanshell? scripts? :) Loving root on watch ;)
[Huawei Watch] pmgnet:
Thanks! It's absolutely amazing to have nearly a full Unix computer on a wrist. Definitely loved shelling into the device.

Cool tip on beanshell. I love PowerShell, and that sounds similar.

Hi,

Has anyone experienced a bootloop after the bootloader unlock on official 2.0? It's the weirdest thing ever, never happened to me! --> https://xdaforums.com/huawei-watch/help/bootloop-trying-to-downgrade-to-aw-1-5-t3660284

I can't even enter the stock recovery anymore. Flashing TWRP works though.

Edit: solved by flashing the ROM BEFORE updating to official AW 2.0.
[Huawei Watch] Isis111:
Checking for Updates

Does anyone have any idea how long the watch searched for updates before it opens the new rom??? Seems like it's taking forever.
[Huawei Watch] Isis111:
Soft Bricked I Think

OK, I'm not positive, because just about anything I do on this Rom (not the rom, me) seems to end up badly. I watched the watch continue to update for over and hour and figured it out that something was wrong but since I had TWRP installed I just went back to recovery and wiped davlik, cache, system, data. Did not touch Internal storage which I assume is Huawei's version of SDcard. After wiping again went back to flashing. I had noticed this the first time but figured it just needed the other components flashed but I was seriously wrong. The error I keep getting is "updater process ended with signal 9: Error installing the file sdcard/rom.zip" TWRP, thank god, continues to work flawlessly, but now I have no system on my watch and for whatever reason it will not install the rom.

I did a factory reset and started all over again and while I can still get into TWRP I'm stuck with no system. Not exactly sure where to go, it appears it's soft bricked, at least that would be my diagnosis.

Help would be greatly appreciated

[Huawei Watch] joefanelli:
okay I've been flashing roms for quite a long time, and this is the first I've had this much trouble. I took the OTA to AW2.0 from stock, unlocked my bootloader, installed TWRP, installed this rom then bam bootloop. I restore to 1.5, try again with twrp/rom, bam- another bootloop after installing this rom again. Community, wtf am I doing wrong?? Any help is appreciated as usual.
[Huawei Watch] melvinaury:
Very rare, I install mine without a problem. You can try installeing the kernel in the other thread at the same time with the ROM.
[Huawei Watch] Isis111:
Hey Joe,

I'd try and help except I'm in your boat. Flashed and then bootloop and soft brick. Thank god I can recover. I wonder if there is a problem with the watches, you know like a flaw in manufacturing on certain runs or lots. The reason I'm putting that out there is I have seen people here flash this rom with Zero problems, and then there's us. I've been flashing for a long time and I've never run into this kind of problem. In fact, last night I had to return my HTC 10 to stock, which btw I hated doing, so that I could flash Magisk. Flashing like crazy and zero issues, then there's the watch. I don't know, anyone have any ideas????

Krissy
[Huawei Watch] melvinaury:
As I indicated befores, you can try installing the kernel at the same time when you install the ROM.

Also made sure your on the recommended recovery before insttling the and kernel.
[Huawei Watch] joefanelli:
Which recovery version should I be using? As of now Ive used the negalite twrp version and still it bootloops. I install right after flash and it reboots after kernel install....and continues to reboot until i stop it using the button and choose shutdown.
[Huawei Watch] LSS4181:
Any progress or ideas on how to get watch face pedometers working on this version (Explorer, for example)? It used to work on AW 1.5 and MM-based Negalite ROMs... The Daily Tracking app is not working, but the Google Fit app works (though it may not be the same as Daily Tracking).
[Huawei Watch] joefanelli:
After trying 3 times it finally worked, and the first boot took FOOOOORRRRREVVVVVEEEEERRRR. Just as directed: wipe everything- install rom, install kernel, put watch someplace cool in temp while it boots first time, 'cause it was pretty warm after that. It was fine in temp afterward and has been since. Thank you community for the help!

Help!

So this could be a silly question, but once I have this on the watch, when i go to "install in TWRP" i have two options, boot and recovery. Which option do I choose when trying to flash? I tried boot and it seemed to hang on the animated dots. Admittedly, I only left it fro roughly 5 minutes. How long does first boot take?

Is someone able to post a step by step for me?

- I have TWRP installed with stock 2.0

- I have the right file (downloaded from above)

Am just not sure what partition to install the img to.
[Huawei Watch] daveuk87:
You don't want to install an image, select install .zip and then choose the ROM. It won't ask you for an install location.
[Huawei Watch] spicerackk:
Yeah figured it out finally, I had downloaded the wrong file :/

Side note, I have no storage left. Is that a common issue? I can't install apps from my phone, or even update apps on the watch.

root checker is not work

root essential is not work

advanced setting is not work too

why ?

how to install apk to my watch via recovery or fastboot ?
[Huawei Watch] Isis111:
Happens all the time with this watch for some reason, simple fix though, go under Developer Options and "revoke all debugging" (just turn it off) then re-enable Debugging by turning it back on and you should be authorized
[Huawei Watch] brmbjn:
I try your method but it not work.
[Huawei Watch] Isis111:
Sorry about that, I missed the part about your flashing a new rom. Whenever you flash any rom most settings will be returned to default. My guess is that after flashing the rom you need to go back in to "About" and re-enable "Developer Options" and re-enable "USB Debugging" That should fix your issue.

Need help installing Magisk... The stock Magisk 14.0 zip keeps telling me the boot image has been patched by other programs...

Using the Negalite HW+ kernel... yet even with the one shipped with NX 2 ROM the result is still the same.

EDIT: Got it installed using the following steps:

1. Delete the su.img from the /data through adb shell.

2. Unpack the kernel image (the HW+ Kernel image will do) with Android Image Kitchen and delete everything SuperSU related on the ramdisk (init.supersu.rc, su folder, sbin/launch-daemonsu.sh)

3. Repack and flash the new kernel image through fastboot, then reboot to TWRP, Magisk will now install.

There's one problem, though. Has to set automatically grant root as apparently the Superuser prompt from Magisk Manager doesn't work on the watch. At least with Magisk the Advanced Settings will not show the "not rooted" notice.
[Huawei Watch] Isis111:
Not sure if you are aware that Magisk is now at 14.2. Yes, it also says that it's a beta version but the Dev states that it should be installed ASAP as there was a serious bug in 14.0. Have no idea what the bug was but I went ahead and jumped into 14.2 and it has been running flawlessly. Hope that helps a bit.

Is your SDK up to date? ADB and fastboot apps have updated quite a few times recently to support Android 7 Nougat, which is this ROM (AW2.0 dev preview). I see others in these forums having problems with some "small" ADB implementations they download that are w-a-y out of date." Pkt_Lnt

I see this posted all over the HW forum, but what's with root not applying? I flashed the ROM in TWRP after deleting data, but doesn't appear to have root. I'm trying to run the phone switching app, which required Advanced Settings and root to run. When I flashed, SuperSU wasn't installed, and flashing the zip in recovery doesn't appear to root it. It flashes successfully, but no SuperSU app and both Advanced Settings and Phone Switcher say it's not rooted. Am I missing something obvious?
