hello,

first, if u use iphone, android wear is only one, so it is ok.

second, you dont need to have apps into watch, with iphone you can only receive notifications on watch even if there are no apps inside.

if you want to install apps into watch you have to do with adb command (adb install nameoftheapp.apk). you have to extract from the original apk ONLY micro.apk. you will find in "res" and than "raw" folder.

example: if you want to play with watchmaker, you have to install it into iphone from apple store, than you have to download an apk from the net. after you have watchmaker apk in your pc, open it with 7zip or similar, you will find "res" folder, open it and you will find "raw" folder. inside it there is micro.apk, pull this apk out and install it by adb command into watch. this is the way phone interact with watch with this app.

this is for almost all apps you want into watch.

about wechat, you cant install into watch, there is no micro.apk inside and the whole apk it wont work. again, with iphone, no need, you will just receive notifications (without the name of the sender..... just message receive....)

back to the topic of this treath, i am downloading file from our friend, i will check and report later.

Would it be a different if I was using an Android phone?

Would I be able to install WeChat after that or would it still be the same?

Thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
Different. With android phone watch will be 100% compatible.

Wechat will be installed automatically same as other apps you have on the phone.

Regards
[Huawei Watch 2] zlimesz:
giangishanghai - let me know if you have successfully flashed 2.1.7!

Will try this via Windows VM in Mac, don't have a Windows machine with me.
[Huawei Watch 2] base6:
I just tried with my Android phone and there were options for which notifications would appear.

The only messaging app I see that I can turn on is KaKaoTalk. Still not seeing the WeChat notification toggle for the watch.

Should I be going to be another setting? I don't know how to go back into that screen with the notification toggle settings.

Thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
Hello,

I can tell package is ok, there is firmware inside original from Huawei. it should work but i have problem installing driver.

I already have all ADB packages installed, will try later and report.

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
I suggest you to do a factory reset into watch. after that all compatible apps should appear.

I have wechat working and few others I need

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] zlimesz:
Good luck!! :)

I saw that it has an update.zip and not the usual fastboot *.img files.

Do you know if this could be done via command line? (via adb, or fastboot, or some other tool)

So I don't need to install Windows on my Mac. :)
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
inside zip there are boot and bootloader img. system img is missing, it is a dat file, so that I believe we cant use adb commands.

still problem with drivers, I cant get it works, tried to run the upgrade tool, it fail telling me package error.

now a bit busy, will try later and report

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
package error, update stop

hello friends,

this is what I got so far:

driver installed as per file included on word document.

running tool always give me back Package error update stop.

tried 100 time with different combinations, always faild.

I notice picture on word file describes "shark" variant of our watch, mean the one with sim card. I have "fish" variant (no sim card)

maybe this can make the difference? I ma not sure.

I will keep trying for sure and report back to you all, but it will be great if someone of you can try the procedure, it is safe to try, nothing can happen to your watch, be sure about this.

steps:

install drivers by clicking on the picture into word instruction file

run tool HUAWEI WATCH Modem_Update_NXG74I_release.exe

it should do all process automatically

is it true it is easy, I believe my fail is cause I have version without sim card

let me know and regards

please let me know,
[Huawei Watch 2] kaomoo:
dude. i have the same error :(
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
hi man,

can you tell us your watch model ? with or without Sim card slot? shark or fish.... (God save who invent this model name...)

thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] mikeshl:
I have same error no SIM
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
I see.

Need someone more who is trying having sim card slot model, please
[Huawei Watch 2] base6:
First of all, just want to say thanks for keep this thread active.

I did what you said and factory reset the watch.

After having setup the watch again, I still did not see WeChat on the list of notifications.

Is there a settings menu I can access after the setup process has been completed?

Thank you.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
hi,

assuming you are on android phone, you should see wechat app in the watch app list.

I have S8+ (before I was using HW with my iphone) and under setting-notification there are all my apps and I can choose the way i like to manage notifications.

leaving this a part, can you see wechat app into watch app list?

did you unpair and pair again watch from your phone?

is your android wear phone app the last updated one?

I imagine you done it, but just to be sure better to ask......

by the way, as cause in this place we are talking about to move chinese watches to an international firmware, maybe better if you ask your questions into general questions and answers, I will reply for sure If I can.

thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] base6:
I have unpaired and paired. I'm using a XiaoMi Max phone.

I hope it's not the phone compatibility problem.

I will more my questions to the general questions after this.

Thank you.
[Huawei Watch 2] sniperano:
Tried on 4G version, no luck

I got the same error message.

I bought it in China and now am using it in the US. Strange that no roaming for China Mobile on the Watch. It works fine with a US T-Mobile sim card. Called customer service and they said the watch does not support international roaming.
[Huawei Watch 2] jacklam2005:
This is the 4G version of the firmware, not the Bluetooth version.
[Huawei Watch 2] Heikamp:
I have the watch 2 4G (SIM) but the software isn't working for me.

Did you got it working on your side?
[Huawei Watch 2] kaomoo:
Shark. The one with SIM. Also bought in China via Taobao.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

Anyway, I have email Huawei support... Finger's crossed.
[Huawei Watch 2] sniperano:
Can we try 2.1.5 instead? Wildlime has already got it working on his.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Hi Wildlime, can you kindly share the 2.1.5 file? Thank you.
[Huawei Watch 2] roronono:
I have flashed the 2.1.7 firmware successfully last night. Running the "HUAWEI WATCH Modem_Update_NXG74I_release.exe" gave me "Package error" message. The procedures is as follows:-

1. Open the above .exe file with 7-zip. There are 6 .img files. Extract them all in a folder.

2. Boot the watch into bootloader mode.

3. Use the following commands.

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash cache cache.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot oem lock

fastboot reboot

The watch should be with English firmware now. Hope this help.
[Huawei Watch 2] Heikamp:
Do you have the version with or without SIM card?

(Fish or Shark?)
[Huawei Watch 2] roronono:
It has sim card. The hardware is LEO-DLXX
[Huawei Watch 2] Heikamp:
GREAT !!! This worked for me (Watch 2 4G SIM)

1000 x Thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] kaomoo:
Worked for mine too! Thank you!!
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
According to Huawei, The firmware package for both 4G / bluetooth version are the same. There arent specific firmware for each.
[Huawei Watch 2] sniperano:
Thanks. It is working perfectly!
[Huawei Watch 2] wildlime:
Here you go https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ZC_EcYPcnrSzVZWExmUHZfOTQ
[Huawei Watch 2] sniperano:
Thank you!

I flashed 2.1.7 you provided earlier. It works great.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
Hello

First thank to all of you for the help and feedback.

I tried to follow adb command all went fine (except several try to flash systems img but finally it says ok) went to reboot watch and I am stuck on black screen. Nothing to do. Adb does not recognise watch, pc too. I have non sim card model. I don't know what is wrong listening to what Huawei wrote to you.

Now there is something I can do prior to call Huawei service or watch is dead?

Any help is appreciated

Regards
[Huawei Watch 2] zlimesz:
Glad that some of you guys got it working! But is 2.1.7 is only compatible to 4G models?

Sorry to hear giangishanghai, hope you get it fixed. Tell me if I can help you get a stock image or something, mine is also the bluetooth one.

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

From http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/wearables/huaweiwatch2-en-sup.htm it seems that Bluetooth Model is LEO-B09.

And checking https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=25396, it seems that there is no

International

version yet.. Looks like I'll have to wait this one out.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
hello,

it is clear that our model is LEO-B09, reading what you wrote about Huawei telling there is no differences between the 2 model I gave it a try, it is evident it was a mistake.

now sending watch back to the service, it is impossible for me to try to push any images cause watch cant boot, just black screen....

about the international version it is question of time, watch is already selled in Europe, it must to me equipped with international rom.

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] mikeshl:
same on mine just black screen. How i can restore it back?
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
as because it is not a bootloop I think there is nothing to do. Just send back to service.

Unfortunately if is black screen no matter what you try to push in, pc won't recognise watch so adb can't work
[Huawei Watch 2] mikeshl:
:crying::crying: Thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
hi,

I don't know where you live but I am in Shanghai and service is really fast. I called Huawei at 16.30 today and at 17.15 they send me courier to pick up watch, 2 days and they will give me back, free of charge, hoping they will just push firmware without to deeply check what happened...:angel: .

maybe you can call them and see if is the same as me.

will report about

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] t238z:
According to amazon,the Leo-B09 B model is available in U.S. market,so we can wait and see if google will uploade the international firmware for HW2 on the developer website after they announce AW3.0 dev version or not.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
sure,

In Europe is out since middle April, just need to wait a bit more
[Huawei Watch 2] wildlime:
Software for B09 is available too I think
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
I am sorry that your watch got bricked. I saw the statement in the forum of Huawei. However, it could be misinterpretation that the staff could mean that the firmware version for both version are the same.

In anyway, we understood that the firmware must have some different because the hardware is different. It is just unsure if they will package both firmware in a single firmware package. And extracting and flash it manually would also by pass any failsafe mechanism from vendor. I am really sorry for this.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
I f you can find it you are welcome to share it here, :good::)

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
I think you are absolutly right, anyway no problem, soon I will have my watch back...... will wait for some good news here!

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
hi all again.....

correct file for B09 shoul be this Leo-B09 2.3.7 Firmware general 05014AHL.zip or above, problem is that I can not download it.

really appreciate if someone of you can do this task for us.

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] base6:
Did you buy your watch from JinDong?

Wondering if the warranty of the watch is the same if you bought it from JinDong and the Huawei stores?
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
hello,

I bought it in Taobao, Huawei service ask me copy of the invoice (I've previously asked seller to have it cause I bougth it belong my company). warranty should be the same cause they told me repair will be free of charge same as courier transportation.

I bought watch beginning of april.

but I understand that maybe are not sites where you can download.....

this just to tell that there is not only chinese version;)

[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
My watch shows the model as LEO-BX9.. is it the same?
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
do you have sim card slot?
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
No.. it is bluetooth version. In some database it is listed as Huawei Watch 2 classic.

But the watch should be ordinary bluetooth version of watch 2.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
as you may know there are 4 different kind of HW2, 2 sport (1 bt and one sim) 2 classic (1bt and one sim) .

in any cases, if you have bt one you cant use the file provided here. I posted the name of the one needed for the bt version, need to wait it uploaded here.

Guide about to flash rom into HW sim card variant posted into proper section

hello,

as cause I have posted a guide about to flash HW2 sim card variant, I would like to ask you all if we can be focused here on about HW2 B09 (BT).

considering done the job about HW2 gsm Sim card Shark, we hope to get here help about BT version.

thanks a lot and regards
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
hello,

give you an update, maybe can help you too. Huawei service call me, watch is inusable, cant be repaired. they will give me a new one, need to wait 4 days. free of charge.

hope you can get new one too.

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] base6:
Thanks but mine is still useable for now.

Just seeing how their warranty works. Bought mine at JinDong.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
Perfect! So it was not bricked on black screen.
[Huawei Watch 2] base6:
Do you think the English firmware can be successfully flash to the bluetooth version?

I'm thinking of trying to trade this in for Samsung Gear S3.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
of course it can be flashed, but it should be the correct one for LEO L09, not the one posted here.

samsung has for sure different firmware, do not try with this.

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] base6:
Not to go off topic but do you prefer this watch over the S3?

I feel the battery can last less than 2 days and I hear the S3 can last more than 3 days.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
Sorry man, I don't know much about Samsung watches
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
Samsung watch does not uses Android Wear OS. So you are actually comparing something very different.
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
Are there any means to pull the backup image from the watch?

In that case, our bluetooth variance may try to flash the 4G rom with very little risk.

It is assumed that the bootloder / boot image should be retained. And we can flash only the userdata / system /recovery / cache of the 4G firmware. And this could possibly work for us. If it fails, we may just restore the chinese image.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
to have a backup image is always a good idea ;). As you can imagine I will not try again (I believe Huawei service will not change my watch again.....) but technically it should work.

anyone willing to try and report?

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
It is difficult for me, as I am not in the warranty region. I need to travel to send it back for service. If someone come up with a twrp, may worth a try.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
I see, agree with you.

so, again, to all of you, please help on this matter!!!!!

thanks
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
Without the means to dump the firmware, it is useless even someone own the international bluetooth variation of the watch.

All the dump method requiring root access or custom recovery which is not yet available to our device.
[Huawei Watch 2] mahm_14:
hi All,

still there is no firmware available for English plz correct me if i am wrong.
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
4G version, English available.

Bluetooth version, no go at the moment.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
hello,

there is global firmware avaiable for BT version (check post n.70, pag.7) , but you have to pay to download it.......... I would like to, but paypal is needed and I dont have it.

we need to wait someone who will gently upload it here

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] ringo1102:
Who knows the Leo-L09S 2.1.7 version have Chinese interface? Thank!!
[Huawei Watch 2] dr_chch:
Hello Im new around here guys,

I have been reading this post and the one you post to teach users on how to flash Huawei Watch 2 4G version. But as some other viewers (I think...) I have BT version bought in China and haven't find out the stock ROM to flash my watch.

My watch model is LEO-BX9, I managed to make it work with Android Wear downloaded from vmall, but of course everything remain in Chinese. For most of the things I have to take a picture and translate in order to barely understand.

So current solution is just wait for someone or Huawei to upload official stock ROM or is there anything to try meanwhile without breaking the phone...
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
hello and welcome!

current solution is, as you can imagine..... to wait until someone will post files here. unfortunatly file is already out, but need to be payed.....

chinese android wear version is exactly the same as the international, but of course it cant be let watch change languages, for that we have to have the right rom or images to be pushed by adb commands.

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] dr_chch:
Thanks,

How trustable is the source of ROM that needs to be payed? I mean, I know couple of guys near me with same issue so maybe we can put the money together and try it. But of course need to know if trustable and how easy will be to upload it here later?
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
it should be trustable ( files for 4G variant came from payment website, gently uploaded here) but to be sure you have to try......... to post it here, you can use any cloud based file transfer service you like and copy link here.
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
no the Chinese android wear is not the same. I can read and write Chinese, and the Chinese version of android wear is just not compatible with most app. And google service as well.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
I was talking from a non-chinese (or HK) point of vew..... I have AW setted in italian as my system on the phone and there are no differences (grammar and haestetics) from the global one.

of course if we are pushing to have global rom for our HW is because we are not care about chinese (not for you for sure), and it is well know and explained before that you cant have google package.

can you list the app you cant run? the one I have (not chinese) are running on watch, but are very few cause I dont need that much. the only one I know for sure is watchmaker.

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
Microsoft translate.

Tinycam monitor

Google Hangout

Spotify
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
microsoft translator: have you tried to just install micro.apk into watch? I have never do it cause I use Baidu, taking pictures of what I need to translate, no really need watch......

Tinycam: I dont know, I use Yousee

Google Hangout: google.... same as the whole package...

Spotify: not sure about, maybe in the same circuits like microsoft translator....

In my mind, you are in HK and you are willing to use such kind of apps, best was to get international watch, but I can understand your concern about money, even if in my experience, I have never spent more money for a phone bought in HK than here in China, interantional version of course.

about watch I cant talk about.

[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
Close to our goal

Hello everyone,

We finally have two friends who want to help us in our task.

Without losing time to just write: "There are many guides about it, read it..." Please, is there anyone of you who know an easy and quick way to explain how to pull image files with adb command?

I am aware there are a lot of things to know, this is why we cant write all here, but maybe there is someone of you more fast and smart then me.

thanks a lot and regads
[Huawei Watch 2] Crsdr37:
I know the commands to pull just no fully sure how to pull them from the Watch basically the commands I found online go to an SD card..... I am sorry you are thinking this is a basic task as you so kindly pointed in the other thread. However I have not played with rooting and or dd since my first moto 360 and I have not done it everyday so it is not like riding a bike for me...... Just trying to help remember that.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
Hello dear friend,

I never said it is a basic task, easy is to push images one by one, not pull. you have all my gratidude and support!!!!!

Now we know you have adb on pc and you know how to pull, but pull a file is not the same as pull an image.

about destination, if I am not wrong, "dd" command push image in to pc directory where adb is in you system.

I dont want to stress you too much, you are doing more than a lot of others, if you like, you can try, this will not damage you watch and we can see if images are correct.

always thank you !

regards
[Huawei Watch 2] mcdull:
Re another thread:

You cannot dd without access to that partition. If you tried it in your China version firmware, you will need root to access. So you cannot dd anything from there.

Pull in the other hand, referring the OTA image, which will contain most of the required files if not all. Hope you get what I mean.
[Huawei Watch 2] giangishanghai:
clear, with thanks!

personal news

Hello all,

I have to tell you all that I am not disappeared. on saturday I have sold my HW2 BT and on sunday my new HW2 4G is arrived.

Immediatly flash it with the method we already know and now it is in Italian language, it already received one OTA update, watchmaker is working and all my preferred apps are in. As I am in China I have tested it with vpn (on phone of course) and I have got all google package updated and it is still downloading and updating day by day.

I will follow daily all posts and I hope I can help BT variant owners as soon as I will find any news.
