[LG Watch Urbane 2] W7GMC:
SUCCESS!

After much heartache and discontent, I have AW2 installed. Had to use a OEM usb charger for the sideload to successfully load.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] W7GMC:
Successful

Just tonight using an oem charge cable was I finally able to install AW2
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jgoakley:
Were you able to lock the bootloader and get Android Pay to work?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] cbalter:
Thanks for the walkthrough! Tried to update about 2 months ago and was frustrated and unsuccessful after many attempts. Found this thread and got it done on the first try!

Update. I'm having message+ problems as well. Went into permissions for the app and sms was unchecked. Checked it and that didn't help.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] ScottySavage:
I don't know if you guys have checked, but if you go on you vzw account, manage devices, it shows from your account page messages are blocked to the device from there. Option to clear it out is blocked. Kind of think it's because the native messenger takes over. Have had no problems typing/speaking messages, even though it's not loading right. Android pay also not working for me.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] firewater88:
Ok, decided to try again and this time a success! This time I used a different USB port on the computer and had the watch in the 3D printed stand. I did NOT reset the watch at all, bootloader was already unlocked from previous attempts. Got TWRP installed and checked the 2 checkboxes and pushed the LG2.zip to the watch. Got to about 46% and said done. I had seen that before and was a bit skeptical. Rebooted and it was 2.0! Better yet, it just updated my watch, not a fresh install. Still had same watch face on it. Updated quite a few apps and now running fine.

Thanks again for the info, files and time to help us beat VZW!

Stuck on boot animation for hours now.

Tried wiping everything while in twrp but no cigar.

Any ideas?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] madkins:
Since no one else is answering you... I was not able to get it working, though this is all very new to me. Sadly, this is the main feature I bought the watch for.

I tried opening the Android Pay app on the watch and it said it was unavailable. I clicked the button beneath the crown and it guided me through the setup process, including setting up a pattern/password/PIN. After all this it said Android Pay could not be used on this device because it was rooted, had an unlocked bootloader or was running a custom ROM. I then rebooted the watch and ran 'fastboot oem lock'. It went through that procedure and when it came back up, it was factory wiped. I set everything up again, but I still get the same message.

If anyone could tell me if I did something wrong, I would be very grateful. Someone above said something about wiping once everything was done, but I'm not sure what that means. I know there are wipe options in twrp, but not sure exactly what to do.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jwahlund:
Follow theinstructions!

I, of course, didn't reset my watch to 1.5. After that I discovered two bad cables. Took me four hours to complete and get a functioning watch. Sure helps to follow instructions. Thanks for your efforts.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] sfortin:
Did anyone get a working version of firmware with NFC/Android Pay working for the Verizon version?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jwahlund:
Mine says non secure rom. Pay doesn't work Hope someone can figure this out. I think the altered section is to blame.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] wd4sgu:
Hello all.

I've made it through the early steps of the upgrade, but have been waiting nearly an hour now while the startup animation has been running.

Any thoughts on how to get past this point? If I can't finish AW2.0, I'd like to go back to 1.5, but need to know what mode to put it in to reload the proper image.

Thanks.

Mike
[LG Watch Urbane 2] breeside223:
Curious, using your method, are you able to get android pay working? Also, is the "stock google" file you used still a developer preview or a more polished version?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] tdavis166:
Failed to Mount '/data' (Invalid Argument)

Went through the process, but experienced a "Failed to Mount '/data' (Invalid Argument)" after the LG2.zip sideload hits 47%. This appears to be an issue with the /data folder be locked/encrypted as attempts to mount or wipe via the twrp bootloader interface results in the same type of error. This guide eludes to bringing the Urbane back to 1.5 and doing a factory reset to possibly correct, but the instructions are minimal and my attempts have failed. Since the watch can only be booted to the twrp interface or the stock bootloader menu, just how does one EXACTLY go about restoring to 1.5? Is the effort even worth it to solve this problem? Is there another way to release this /data folder for mounting/access? I should note that at the moment rebooting the Urbane with no interaction results in the Wear splash screen displaying forever.

******Figured it out, ran "fastboot -w" that clears user data and cache. Now the LG2.zip sideload works without error and I have Wear 2.0 on my Urbane 2!******
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Mozartwithagun:
I am also having that error but and does not recognize that command fastboot-w can supply more info on your process to get past this error.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jwahlund:
Google Pay

I think the modified file is to blame for the lack of pay working.My watch has updated to 2.8 and pay still doesn't work. Perhaps a class action lawsuit would get Verizon moving?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Mozartwithagun:
Pretty sure android pay wont work due to the new security update checking for any modified partitions, once you modify, with out fully returning to stock pay apps through android wont function.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] suresh.chikkanna:
Nope Android Pay is not working as we modify the file to side load android wear 2.0 and this is the final build that was released for general public ( More polished version).
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Jerseyman201:
Anyone get Messages+ working yet on aw2.0? I certainly prefer Textra over Messages+ (which I obviously disabled on my V30 mere seconds after initial startup when I got the phone like im sure most of you did as well) but to use LTE I'd prefer the convenience through Messages+. Although android pay would be nice, I do have a folio wallet case for my phone anyway so not really important for me personally since my cards are with me all the time anyway. Receiving/sending texts without phone however definitely is number 1 priority for hiking, exercise/sports and work.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jwahlund:
You have to enable Messenger+ to make calls. After I got my watch working, I switched messenger apps and could still make calls with my watch. On reboot, had to do it again. I'm on 2.9 at the moment. Still waiting for Verizon to release 2.0. Go to Play store, on watch, and scroll down to apps on phone. Then install on watch. On your phone you must install Verizon Messenger first.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] iamfallen:
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for Verizon. I was told in my last conversation with them that the W200V is to old for them to support any further. I was quite disappointed.

same issue Stops sideload at 47%

Hi i have the same issue with it stopping at 47%, i am not sure what you fix was, when or what were the steps for running the "fastboot -w" and help would be much appreciated
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Mozartwithagun:
does anyone have the stock recovery img. for the lg urbane 2nd edition w 200v if so vould you post a link
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Dragoonak47:
Hello, so this is what I did and it worked. These are additional steps after following the original instruction and after getting a fail install and get a neverending booting screen with the four colorful circles.

1) I restarted the watch and when the LG logo comes up I swipe from the 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock to get into recovery mode.

2) Connected the watch to the computer and open adb.

3) Type in fastboot-w.

4) Choose recovery on watch and it loaded to Twrp

5) Choose Install then ADB sideload

6) I checked both wipe boxes then swipe start

7) The "abd sideload lg2.zip" - (name of your 2.0 zip file + .zip)

8) It get to only 47% but it says success on the watch.

9) I reboot and about 10 minutes later I got 2.0 on my LG Urbane 2 Verizon.

Hope I helped somebody because it was driving me crazy. Just got the watch for really cheap and found out Verizon is not update it to 2.0. But finally got it thanks to the instruction here.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jwahund:

Unable to set up calling

I was able to successfully upgrade my phone to WearOS 2.0 using the ROM and instructions but cannot get Calling Set Up to complete. I continually get a message that the watch cannot communicate with the phone. Has anyone else seen this issue? It may be on Verizon's end. I am getting LTE data and do connect to cell towers so I don't think it is a hardware issue.

Thanks in advance!
[LG Watch Urbane 2] tech_head:
If you are having issues connecting to the phone.

You will need to wipe the data and possible uninstall and reinstall Wear on the phone.

This has worked for me in the past.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] marcelschaafstra:
Can someone please send me the original file for the verizion version? Im kinda stuck right know. Thanks!

[LG Watch Urbane 2] Copcheck:
I've got ADB installed and let it install where it natively installs and I also created a folder in C: called ADB and I cannot get TWRP to install.

I can see my device in ADB though, but when I try to push TWRP, I keep getting the following error:

adb: error: cannot stat 'twrp-3.1.1.0': no such file or directory

This has to be something I am doing wrong with the file structure, but I cannot figure it out.

Do you have any advice?

Thank you.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] kriticalglitch:
I do a::

adb devices shows that it is connected and sideloaded

adb sideload lg2.zip

i get Stock theme version does not math TWRP version

Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer

Failed to mount /data invalid argument

Unable to mount storage and so on ?

also failed to mount cache

How do i enable writing onto the phone or what is the next step twrp installed fine and everything else went smooth - thanks

did a - from your ADB directory run "flash-all.bat"

installed stock back

after this everything went in fine fixed problem . so if you have your stuff encrypted you need to wipe it with the flash all bat and then install the twrp and everything over and the lg2.zip

SHARING THE FILES SO WE HAVE MORE LINKS:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YAJxcji5tYTzk9uv3FIUzQw9F2ndkE2a?usp=sharing

I keep hitting a brick wall when I try to sideload the LG2.zip.

I've got twrp-3.1.1.0 loaded.

But when I try to sideload, I've gotten 2 errors. (The 1st one I believe is just the cable playing games, the 2nd one I think is the true error)

ERROR1:

C:\wear00\adb>adb sideload LG2.zip

serving: 'LG2.zip' (~0%) adb: failed to read command: Connection reset by peer

TWRP is then stuck and reboots when I disconnect from the USB. After that I have to reboot TWRP another time to get it to connect to the PC.

ERROR2:

E1001: Failed to update system image.

Updater process ended with ERROR: ;

This is the error in CMD: (Or lack of)

C:\wear00\adb>adb sideload lg2.zip

Total xfer: 0.02x

Update:

So I actually got it to proceed but wasn't watching to see if I hit 47% for the sideload. However it said it disconnected and rebooted. Stuck at bootloop. So I've tried a reboot to see if that fixes it but I've got a meeting in 10 minutes so if I come back and it's still looping I'll reboot and see if I can sideload again and watch to see where it's at.

Update 02:

Hit 47% and then returned to command line on computer:

Watch says: Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid Argument)
[LG Watch Urbane 2] shepscrook:
I get to your step 2, however the computer does not recognize the watch. Do I need to enter recovery and do ADB Sideload so that I can type fastboot -w?

If that's the case, all I see in the cmd window is <waiting for any device>

Stuck yet again.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] shepscrook:
Final Update:

So I've finally been able to get AW 2.0 installed on my watch. It was not an easy process and of course Google Pay does not work, but whatever, maybe something I'll look at later.

This download has everything necessary:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YAJxcji5tYTzk9uv3FIUzQw9F2ndkE2a?usp=sharing

The original posts instructions followed by the 47% instructions eventually fixed it.

"47% instructions" Fix

1) I restarted the watch and when the LG logo comes up I swipe from the 10 o'clock to 4 o'clock to get into recovery mode.

2) Connected the watch to the computer and open adb.

3) Type in fastboot-w.

4) Choose recovery on watch and it loaded to Twrp

5) Choose Install then ADB sideload

6) I checked both wipe boxes then swipe start

7) The "abd sideload lg2.zip" - (name of your 2.0 zip file + .zip)

8) It get to only 47% but it says success on the watch.

IF YOU GET the 47% you can also do this and it should fix the problem.

1) Connected the watch to the computer and open adb. (You must put your watch in bootloader mode)

2) Type in fastboot-w.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] shepscrook:
I'm now unable to lock the bootloader after moving to 2.0. ADB doesn't see any attached devices.

USB Debugging is on and always allowed by this computer.

This is the same cable I used to do AW2.0

Using a straight to the motherboard port and not a hub

I'm in the bootloader

The computer sees the android device properly

This is all I get:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices

List of devices attached

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>

UPDATE:

So I tried another computer and was able to run the command fastbook oem lock.

Now it's just boot looping. (Was really hoping to get Android Pay to work with this)
[LG Watch Urbane 2] sfortin:
If there is someone out there in the ether that can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I took the leap and decided I'd manually upgrade my W200V from 1.5 to 2.0, as others who had done so, managed to get the 2.1 OTA. The watch was very functional under 1.5 still, and my daily driver. What a wonderful hardware platform. So I'm at the point that I can enter the sideload mode on the watch. However, after I issue the adb command to sideload. I get on the watch: "Updater process ended with ERROR" and on the PC, it indicates "Total xfer 0.02x". Now then, my cable seems fine as I was able to load the twrp image file, and so I'm not so sure what is going on.

Please, I'd like to be part of the 2.1 crowd. If someone has a suggestion, please, I'm ready for it. Thank you.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] sfortin:
After numerous attempts, I finally got the 2.0 .zip file to sideload, and after doing so, received the OTA for 2.1 which is very nice. I am however still stuck with the bootloader unlocked, even after issuing fastboot oem lock. It appears it happens, but when rebooting the smartwatch, it proceeds to force the watch to re-install the OS, and leaves the bootloader unlocked.

Any hints please? I'd really like to see if I can get Google Pay working on the Verizon version of the watch.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jerebohner:
I too had a similar issue, but i think it finally cleared up that between rebooting it, do a factory reset on the device and then that seemed to force the completion of the entire process. I also didn't follow the instructions thoroughly, by that I mean I forgot to factory reset my device before I started, and I had to re do over the first few steps a few times cuz of a different issue which was something weird. weird for me is that I loaded TWRP, booted into recovery with TWRP initially to load aw 2.0, but it seems that i can not boot into TWRP anymore, I am back to stock recovery somehow and it would not allow me to push twrp back to the watch due to it said I had no sd card.. Not a clue, but was also wondering how that happened or why. Overall though, it took a couple of hours but now my watch seems to run as normal, DEFINITELY it is not as laggy as when you first get done upgrading. Message+ still works and I can make and receive calls, but of course no Android Pay, but all in all aw 2.0/2.1 is WAY worth the half a night spent getting it done... and correctly working.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] sfortin:
jerebohner - I am so glad you got it working. After much playing, I was going to attempt to sideload lg2.zip all over again, but it would never really start transferring... I did not have twrp loaded anymore either.

the thing that worked for me, silly as it may seem was instead of issuing "fastboot oem lock", I issued "fastboot oem locked". Yep, just used the past-tense of the word lock.

Watch then allowed me to use my LTE radio again. Yay! And it auto updated to 2.16.0.xxxxxx.

Unfortunately, I still cannot get Google Pay to work (will not let me add a card to the watch), but the cellular works again, and it's up-to-date.

As you said - definitely worth the effort.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] jerebohner:
Is anyone else now having issues with your watch notifying/ringing when you get incoming calls? I can make calls just fine on the watch with cellular, but my watch never shows any calls coming in? Should I not complete the Verizon Calling setup? I've heard for others that that is how they got the calling notifications back (but I could lose lte calling from it) and even others have claimed that it fixed their message+ app not getting text messages any longer. Or is the problem just me and do I have to start over?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] sfortin:
It's not you, nor do I think you have to start over. I tried turning off my phone, and calling my number from another phone, and the watch face showed Home calling watch and presented a red hangup icon, and a green take the call icon. It also vibrated, and rang the ring tone.

Pull down the screen, and make sure you haven't turned sound off. It's the big icon in the middle.

Then use the cog to go into Settings and verify for "Sound and notifications" that Media, Alarm and Ring volumes are about mid-slider.

Click on "Vibrate for calls".

Choose the watch ringtone.

For "Do not disturb unless..." make sure that nothing is checked.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Jholma:
No success... It is stuck in twrp. And ADB wont show my device

I thought everything was going great at first. But when I tried to sideload the zip, the watch said it was an invalid zip format. I went to the bootloader screen and it says it's locked, now. But I can't get ADB to show my device now, to try and unlock it. I am new to this. So i'm sure I goofed up, somewhere. In your instructions, it didn't say what to do with, Super-SU. . I didn't push it. Is that where I screwed up? Anyone have the OEM revert? Your link no longer works.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Jholma:
Hi, can you help me.

I'm stuck on sideloading 2.0. I want to revert back to 1.5, and try again. But I can't find an image for 1.5. Where do I find recovery.img?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] d_freshmaker:
I am having similar issues. I tried side-loading 2.0, but the boot animation just goes for hours. I have rebooted, wiped, and re-flashed, but it hasn't worked yet.

I also cannot find a copy of the developer preview in order to downgrade back to 1.5. I get an Access Denied message saying, "Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to androiddevelopers/shareables/wear-preview/nemo-mfd18l-factory-3faf6f2d.tgz."

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Well, I still can't find a copy of the Wear preview in order to revert to 1.5, but I was able to finally get the watch to take the 2.0 update.

Since Fastboot was the only option I had (by swiping from upper left to lower right when the LG logo appears), I tried wiping the watch via Fastboot, using the command Fastboot -w from my PC. I then re-flashed lg2.zip, and the watch actually booted this time, in case any of this is helpful for anyone else.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Jholma:
Hi, do you still have a copy of the 1.5 image recovery? I can't find it, anywhere. My watch is now a paperweight.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] DazzaJay:
Ok, I'm having major issues.

Firstly, when I get to Step 6, This happens:

C:\adb>adb sideload lg2.zip
Total xfer: 0.02x

C:\adb>

This is accompanied by the following on the watch:

E1001: Failed to update system image.

Updater process ended with ERROR: (Then something is displayed but cut off by the edge of the screen)

So, I kept reading the thread, and apparently, this can be solved by going back to 1.5 clearing everything and starting again...

I attempted to download the stock 1.5 listed in the OP ( nemo-mfd18l-factory-3faf6f2d.tgz ) and was presented with this error in the browser.

Access denied.
Anonymous caller does not have storage.objects.get access to androiddevelopers/shareables/wear-preview/nemo-mfd18l-factory-3faf6f2d.tgz.

So, now, I can't continue, and I can't reset to 1.5 because the download link is broken.

(Also, the modified lg2.zip link is also broken "file not found")

So, does anybody have a copy of this stock 1.5 file so I can start again?
[LG Watch Urbane 2] catwomanva:
Files to go back to 1.5

drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YAJxcji5tYTzk9uv3FIUzQw9F2ndkE2a (copy and paste - I'm new so I can't post outside links)

Someone posted these files, I used the files in the "back to stock" download to go back to 1.5. :o You have to unzip the nemo-mfd18l-factory-3faf6f2d.tgz and go down a few more folders to get to the flash file the original poster mentioned.

I got stuck with invalid zip format on my first attempt at 2.0 with my own modified file (lg2.zip). :rolleyes: Then I downloaded the modified file from the link above and got stuck with the same error you did. :confused: :eek: So I gave up for now and went back to 1.5. :silly:

:crying::mad::crying:

I'm hoping someone who got it to work will post their modified file for us to try. :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:

Good luck! :cyclops: :cyclops: :cyclops:
[LG Watch Urbane 2] DazzaJay:
Ok, i got it to work on 2.0 with the link found in Comment https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77770694&postcount=109

However, after putting the stock recovery back on i still cannot lock the bootloader. it just reboots, remains unlocked and acts like it's had a factory reset performed. (Needs full set-up again)

Also, Background Heartrate monitoring apps such as Cardigram and Heart Trace only seem to work for a short amount of time, then flat outright refuse to send their data to the phone app. (Even though the heart sensor still takes readings every 5 minutes)

Also, Google Fit only seems to Sync one-way, Out from the watch. (So, Steps recorded on the watch go to the phone, but any walking done with the phone without the watch don't sync to the watch)

Basically, I'm never buying another device with the Verizon brand on it ever again.

And I'm staying the hell away from LG in the future also.

I'm switching to either a non-carrier-branded Huawei or Ticwatch.
[LG Watch Urbane 2] Archangel:
Tried this on my watch and the updated zip would never flash through TWRP,,,always ended with an updater error. Reflashed 1.5 using the flash-all and set up the phone,, all is good. Went back to try again and this time TWRP will push to the watch and flashes fine but when I reboot to recovery it just reboots the watch like normal? I have tried to use different cables, different usb inputs, but TWRP seems to flash fine but never boots to recovery to try and sideload again??
