[LG G Watch R] szczurx:
Latest version of Facebook app from Google store. Phone - Samsung Galaxy S6 with Latest Marshmallow updates
[LG G Watch R] riccardo423:
You've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

The app wear permissions are unlocked for notifications?
[LG G Watch R] szczurx:
Android wear app reinstalled twice. Even made watch factory reset. On Phone in settings/apps, Android Wear app have permissions for everything possible
[LG G Watch R] Cerak:
Thanks for this Riccardo ( or grazie, from a fellow italian :) )!

Can't believe I managed to do the entire procedure without making a mess of it, lol. Everything appears to be working again, I'm so happy! Really hated AW 2.0. Hope the notification does not come back, I'll keep an eye out for it in the coming days.
[LG G Watch R] vitloga5:
hello, can anyone answer me why these commands dont work

pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService

and why superSu crashes on watch
[LG G Watch R] dirtymusic:
Thank you Riccardo423 for great manual, it works great for my watch. No AW2 anymore! :)
[LG G Watch R] LionheartSilver:
Noob question: why the "M1D65H" versión? Is the last with AW 1.5? The NXG47C version is for 2.0?
[LG G Watch R] pidobeuliou:
Yes, it's the last AW1.5 version. However, perhaps it was due to something I didn't made correctly during the downgrade but this M1D65H version had not a good battery performance on my watch (battery was drained in less than 40 hours).

It's why I have used the M1D64Y version which is perfect in terme of battery performance (>48 hours) and applications responsiveness.
[LG G Watch R] LionheartSilver:
Really? ... hmmm i see.... mine has always lasted less than 40 hrs... did you install any mod for the watch? core enablers or smth?
[LG G Watch R] pidobeuliou:
Nothing specific, just installed the basic factory image + root . I have installed about 16 apps (including Watchmaker with a quite "sophisticated" watchface, wear messenger, WearMail, Wear Battery stats, Feel the Wear, Runtastic, ...) but mainly I have deactivated Google Fit which is a true battery killer app on both the Smartwatch and the Smartphone!.
[LG G Watch R] RASTY777:
mediafire link is dead (twrp) - please, reupload it!
[LG G Watch R] ryaninc:
Thanks so much for this, it worked perfectly! So great to have my watch back!
[LG G Watch R] RASTY777:
Hi, I have problem connecting in ADB mode to PC - when I plug in craddle nothing is happening :( Win10 not even play a sound, not trying to find drivers etc. Is it connected with new version NXG47C/LENOKZ22b ??

In fastboot mode there is green "secure boot" enabled, lock state - locked and bootloader in Z22b version. Is it possible to connect ADB in this case? Im stucked witn AW2 and there is nothing I can do for now :( Please help.
[LG G Watch R] shagratt:
The same happens to me. SuperSU crash and cant disable updates :/

Tried wiping dalvik but it didnt work
[LG G Watch R] shaolin95:
Yeah SuperSU for me seems to install but I never get the su command to work so I cannot finish the last steps. So annoying :/
[LG G Watch R] pidobeuliou:
Hi,

Are you sure you succeed the root procedure?

Did you type the following commands?

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery twrp_xxx.img

// Restart the watch in recovery mode by using the watch screen commands, then:

adb push SuperSU_xxx.zip /sdcard/

// From the watch screen, by typing on the screen and following instructions, change folder to sdcard folder and click on the SuperSU_xxx.zip application and install it.
[LG G Watch R] shagratt:
Did everything. TWRP install the SuperSU fine and warn me about it can restart several times, but the watch just restart normal after that and superSU crash.

The only thing I didnt try was to clear system in TWRP.
[LG G Watch R] pidobeuliou:
Strange. I did it twice on my LG G Watch R and it worked perfectly. Actually, I have downgraded to M1D64Y version as I have the impression that this relase has a better battery performance.

I have placed the twrp image and superSU app I have used here : TWRP+SuperSU
[LG G Watch R] trudtilp:
Thanks riccardo423,

my watch now is back to 1.5 and it's wonderful!!!

I've only a suggest to you about the guide. In the step to set the fastboot on the watch, can i suggest you to change you description in following example?

"With the clock off, hold down the physical key until see the LG logo. Release the button and tap with your finger on the screen at minute 55 and slide it to minute 25 passing from the center of the screen. The watch has entered the mode fastboot."

Thanks a lot for you time.

Regards
[LG G Watch R] saint_cow:
If I already have the custom recovery can I just flash the 3 .img's via ADB Sideload in recovery?

Or just flash boot and system and leave the recovery as is?
[LG G Watch R] razebond:
Hello, Thank you for the detail guide.

Can I use the M1D65H firmware here in the links for my LG Urbane (1st gen - W150 ) ?

(btw ...are the firmware / software are same for both the watches ?)
[LG G Watch R] pidobeuliou:
Even if the HW is quite similar, the risk to get a watch brick is not low... I'm surprised that the img files for the LG Urbane are not available somewhere.
[LG G Watch R] saint_cow:
I can't get the process to remove the persistent update notification to work. Watch always comes up null when I try to push Su, tried a different process to do it, it's flashes the Su file but then when I check in adb it says Su not found
[LG G Watch R] aaronmuzz:
Hi there

i followed all the above steps by watch seems to reboot to a grey screen with what appears to be the developer tools on it? It wont seem to load android wear?

Any ideas?
[LG G Watch R] Clonkex:
Definitely going to do this later (2.0 is utter crap in so many ways) but for now I thought I'd just take the time to giggle at how you call it a "clock" every time :P To an English-speaker, a clock is something that sits on a desk or hangs on a wall or is part of a huge tower in the middle of a city, but never something you strap on your wrist. The device you strap to your wrist is called a "watch" or a "wristwatch", but usually just a watch.

Otherwise your English is completely fine, even very good (good clear instructions too), and you have nothing to worry about :)
[LG G Watch R] frankhell:
system.img is not to flash

Just forget it!!

Never try copy and paste again. Find my mistake by myself. Sorry! Post can be erased!

Hi all,

I tried to go back to 1.5. When I trie to flash the System.img file I always get the error message as you see in the attached file.

Could you give me advise whats going wrong. I tried three different versions and the error is always the same.

Thanks for your help.
[LG G Watch R] GusPepper:
Gentlemen, I made the process according to the instructions, but the boot never ends.

Ansy tip
[LG G Watch R] Cerak:
So, it appears there's a new update to the watch that brings Android version to 7.1.1. Any way to install that without compromising the procedure for this topic to stay on AW 1.5?
[LG G Watch R] sethdallob:
I can't seem to get my watch out of fastboot after following the directions seemingly successfully. Every reboot just brings me back to the fastboot screen, never actually loading anything.

I followed the instructions and seemingly successfully used fastboot to flash the 3 files, and have an unlocked bootloader.

How do I get out of fastboot?
[LG G Watch R] jpaulding22:
Omg thank you so much for this Riccardo423. I ended up losing my first g watch r and when I bought a replacement it was loaded with the bull**** wearV2, slow as balls and just garbage in general. I didn't even want the watch anymore, felt like I just wasted a fair amount of money for a piece of **** Dumb Watch (definitely wasn't a Smart Watch anymore).

Running through all of these things made my watch bearable and I finally like using it again. Many thanks to Riccardo423 and to anyone else who contributed to making a fix and for making a guide for people like me who know enough about computers to follow these directions but not enough to know anything about the background of all this work. You're the best, and again, thank you SOOOOOO much :)

System.img Problem When Downgrading

I am new here and this is my first time every posting on this forum. Can someone please help shed some light on the issue I'm having? I'm one of the latest victims of Google's atrocious 2.0 update and I'm desperately trying to downgrade my ZenWatch 2 back to 1.5. I'm good all the way until I get to the "flashboot flash" command lines. I've tried it several times but each command says FAILED (remote: size too large) and the final "fastboot flash system M1D65H_system.img" command line says "target reported max download size of 63963136 bytes Invalid sparse file format at header magi". Additionally, I'll get the "fastboot.exe has stopped working" Windows message as soon as I hit enter on the system.img command line. Can someone please help? What am I doing wrong?!?!? The forum won't allow me to post a screenshot since I'm new.
[LG G Watch R] dersie:
It is a thread for LG-R, so no try to use file here on other watch ;)
[LG G Watch R] bcw0612x1:
Thank you for your reply dersie. I was so upset by the 2.0 update that I neglected to even realize that this thread is for the LG smartwatch. I've since been able to find the applicable boot.img, recovery.img and system.img files for my ZenWatch 2 and was successfully able to downgrade back to 1.5 thankfully. Now I'm just trying to figure out a way to get rid of the persistent 2.0 software notification card prompting me to update. That's another issue altogether.
[LG G Watch R] dersie:
My ZW2 is still in 1.5 and I hope I can always avoid the upgrade 2 message :( (not happen until now) Hopefully I since have my Sony SW3 wich is not 2.0 compatible :) My LG-R was updated month ago but I do not like the lost of double and triple click for Theater and max brightness :(
[LG G Watch R] AlniteK:
Update notification back again this morning

Hi,

I had followed this guide and was happy again with my LG Watch R back to 1.5 for at least 20 days, when this morning, the update notification has come back !!!

Of course, if I try to make the update, it fails.

Due to TWRP in the bootloader, I presume.

Any idea ?
[LG G Watch R] Rafal L:
Exactly the same today morning happened to me. Maybe it is because updated Google services?
[LG G Watch R] nagi603:
+1, update notification came for my watch too. Dam you, Google!

the commands

pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService

pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService

are no longer enough unfortunately.

Weird thing is that I can't remember when I updated Google services last time. Definitely at least weeks ago.

...Just what I needed, a potentilly unusable watch right before a long holiday. Google has the best presents....

Seriously, I'd love it if google just wouldn't mess with it for 5-10 years?

(I looked at installing custom ROMs, the one I found basically started with "install linux". Sorry, can't and won't.)

edit: tried

cd /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_download/

echo "" > update.zip

chattr +i update.zip

but still no cookie.

edit 2: tried the shotgun approach:

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateActivity

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdatePanoActivity

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver

aaand while these helped in the past, they don't help now.

Edit 3: tried grepping the full file list for update.zip. *.zip, *.img, not one hit besides those I put there or the immutable update.zip.
[LG G Watch R] ninjeratu:
Same here. So it would seem it's pushed from the AW app to the watch instead of pulled from the update services on the watch?

I tested reflashing the M1D65H images (and adding TWRP and superSU) and that worked. Over night. But now the notification is back.
[LG G Watch R] carnagecjb:
If that's the case, I'm kinda confused. The last update my wear app had was a full two weeks ago. So there has to be some method of pushing updates without updating the app...

[Edit]

I'm at work without my cradle, so I can't test, but anybody have any idea if this would work?

[LG G Watch R] DarkDvr:
Same issue, "charge watch to install update" notification is back. Disabling update services doesn't help. "update.zip" file is still in /cache/, and cannot be touched, even under SU.

Not sure what else to try.
[LG G Watch R] nagi603:
Weird, I had no such file there, besides my own 1 byte update.zip

edit:

disabled com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService and it might have solved the issue.... at least the notification disappeared immediately.

I noticed it calling an update in logcat:

08-11 19:19:49.031 1287 1593 I SystemUpdate: [Execution,InstallationEventIntentOperation] Received intent (Intent { act=com.google.android.gms.update.INSTALLATION_EVENT cat=[targeted_intent_op_prefix:.update.execution.InstallationEventIntentOperation] cmp=com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService (has extras) }) with event 200.

now restarting and hoping for no update...

edit 2: no update notification yet, ad it should have already appeared. Though I have no idea what else I might have broken in the process. We'll see

command to run is:

adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService

(absolutely no warranties it works for you and/or doesn't break things. It might burn your house down, raise zombies, start voting for Trump Jr, etc...)

su crashes for me too

I experienced the crashing of su too.

I'm able to connect my watch and start the adb shell but when entering any su command either the cmd window freezes or I get a su crashed message on my watch. :(
[LG G Watch R] kkazakov:
I tried everything ... reflashing the image, re-flashing the SuperSU, different versions, but the result is the same - it crashes or freezes. Help!
[LG G Watch R] ninjeratu:
Stupid question: What if you don't pipe commands through the su command, and instead just spawn a su shell and THEN enter the commands?

shell@lenok:/ $ su

root@lenok:/ #

root@lenok:/ # pm list packages

...
[LG G Watch R] kkazakov:
It hangs on 'su' command.

So I don't get the row after 'su'. For the record - this was working a week ago. I already patched it after one of the factory resets of the watch.

One of my other options would be to go with custom rom ... but that's so not "User-friendly", Google ...
[LG G Watch R] ninjeratu:
Then I'd wager that you're on a "wrong" SuperSU.

It's quite possible that the flash went OK, but if superSU were properly installed it would work.

You would probably need a systemless SuperSU and TWRP with squashfs

SuperSU 2.79

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zB2zRyWlLBNmhwSmNBUEp1SVU/view

TWRP with squashfs

http://www.mediafire.com/file/rhfr5ps2c8ssxx5/twrp-3.0.0-0-lenok+squashfs.img

Factory reset, flash/boot twrp then flash superSU. ANd look out for errors.

I assume you're on a Lenok, not Dory.
[LG G Watch R] FloW_Hamburg:
Thank you very much

Looks like you won the wager!

Flashing the superSU you provided worked like a charm. I finally got rid of the annoying persistant update message.

Thank you so much!
[LG G Watch R] kkazakov:
Thank you, that worked. Even though installation of SuperSu failed with error 2 - it was operational after reboot.
[LG G Watch R] LionheartSilver:
This worked for me. Thank you very much.

The notification didn't disappear immediately but after restarting the watch the notification did not appear again.
[LG G Watch R] Not Jeff Goldblum:
Hi all,

At step 5 on the section to remove the update message, does the watch need to be in fastboot mode? The instructions don't say so, but WinDroid doesn't seem to be recognising the watch as attached and therefore won't allow me to push the files across.

Thanks
[LG G Watch R] scooby359:
No - should have the watch on as normal. ADB should recognise the watch and allow you to transfer the file.

Try switching everything off and on again, then check you've got the drivers installed.

Also, make sure you've gone into the watch settings - Developer Settings, and allowed debugging by ADB. If you've followed through the whole set of instructions, you'll have just flashed your watch so you'll have to re-enable the option.

Hope this helps!
[LG G Watch R] hkechung:

[LG G Watch R] jpaulding22:
Moto G5 Plus can't connect to my 1.5 G Watch R...

I upgraded my watch to 2.0, at the same time I got a new phone, because I couldnt stand the update notification anymore but that turned out to be total ****. I never used the 1.5 version on my watch with my Moto G5 Plus, only on my old Moto G3. When the watch was on 2.0 it was able to connect to my new phone but I couldnt stand it and wanted 1.5 back. So I used this guide to downgrade back to 1.5. The watch works perfectly and no longer has the upgrade notification but now my Moto G5 Plus is not able to find my watch when trying to connect through Android Wear. I even tried downgrading my Android Wear app on my new phone by downloading old .apks, uninstalling the current one, then installing the old ones. My phone is still unable to connect or even realize that my watch is even there.

Is the Moto G5 Plus just not able to use the watch if it has 1.5 or what is going on?? I would love to keep 1.5, but I'm afraid that that won't be possible.

Anyone have any idea how to handle this? Thanks.

EDIT: My watch currently uses TeamWin Recovery Project as the recovery mode. Will doing a factory reset cause any problems with booting or even brick my watch?
[LG G Watch R] thefalcon3a:

[LG G Watch R] LionheartSilver:

[LG G Watch R] thefalcon3a:
It's the link in step 1 of the second half. I'm not sure what the file name is because it's down. Sorry, I'm new to this... I think I need:

SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip

twrp-3.0.0-0-lenok+squashfs.img (which is in the first one?)

FROM OP:

"1) adb shell

2) su

3) pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService

4) pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService"

Once you've downgraded, flashed TWRP and rooted your watch, all you have to do is run these 4 ADB commands. Easy Day!
[LG G Watch R] thefalcon3a:
So my problem is that when I'm in TWRP and select the SuperSU file to install, it gives me an error. I can quote it when I get home, but it's something to the effect of "/system is not a valid file" or something...

Then, when I go to run the commands, the "su" command gives me an error.

I've tried a bunch of different SuperSU files... The original here, and two others I've Googled. All have given me the same error.
