I followed the instructions to flash the rom, but when I go to reboot, I get stuck at the Huawei logo. I waited around 10 minutes and it never got past the Huawei logo. I have the Huawei Watch 2 Classic and I flashed the deodexed version.

Edit: wrote Huawei Watch Classic instead of Huawei Watch 2 Classic.
[Huawei Watch 2] -iNSiGhT-:
Didn't see we need root tools. I only see 2 ways for root on OP (Magisk or probably SuperSU).

But Busybox is included in the kernel description. I probably have nothing more to do with busybox.

These ROMs are made for Huawei Watch 2 (Sport model). Dunno if you can flash it on your Huawei Watch 2 Classic.
[Huawei Watch 2] redukt:
Sorry for misunderstanding - I mean the ANDROID_WEAR_2.0_Root. Never had any issues with this rooting method. I am running some devices with magisk and others with SuperSU. On the watch I prefer SuperSU. Can`t imagine that the magisk manager run well on this device ;)
[Huawei Watch 2] wfe82:
Pretty sure Sawfish is the classic. When I downloaded TWRP the link name under codename sawfish was TWRP-HUAWEI_BT/Classic. I automatically assumed that anything with BT/codename Sawfish was the classic. Is that wrong?
[Huawei Watch 2] redukt:
Different hardware...

So here is your forum ;)
[Huawei Watch 2] wfe82:
My bad, I wrote that wrong, I'll edit my post, but I have the Huawei Watch 2 Classic.

[MENTION=6965038]wfe82[/MENTION] Ok :) What´s your flashing method? Via ADB or directly from TWRP? Otherwise you can try to decompile the rom and flash the files via sideload. On the other side - maybe is the rom buggy and you have to wait for the dev ;)

doublepost by losing and reconnect my wifi.... sry
[Huawei Watch 2] wfe82:
I was able to flash TWRP and I backed my stock system up before I flashed the rom. I flashed the rom through TWRP but it would not get past the Huawei boot screen. Then I tried to restore my backup, but am still unable to get past the Huawei boot screen. It loops between the boot screen and the bootloader unlocked warning. Hoping this is only a softbrick and that I can flash the factory images here: https://xdaforums.com/watch-2/development/rom-huawei-watch-2-bt-leo-b09-leo-bx9-t3616779

I think my model number is LEO-B19 as I have the 2 classic and am in the US. Pretty sure LEO-BX9 is a different version of the 2 classic as when I look LEO-BX9 up on Google, it comes up with the 2 classic. Not sure if I have much to lose at this point.
[Huawei Watch 2] redukt:
It´s a softbrick if you get into ADB or fastboot. So take a breathe and reflash the factory image files :)
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
Yes BusyBox is already installed. Flash the ROM and then flash the magisk..without rebooting.
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
Classic = Huawei watch 2 classic= BT=sport model. Flash the odexed version and let me.
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
Classic/BT= sport model. They are similar in hardware..
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
SuperSU and magisk both should work. I tired both and had no issue.
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
No Classic/BT= sport model. Similar in hardware but different in shapes.
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
There should be no difference between them. Try to extract the boot.img from my ROM and flash with your backup. Don't worry it is softbrick due to stock boot.img dm-verity..
[Huawei Watch 2] wfe82:
I was able to flash the factory images and that worked to get the watch back. I still would like to put your rom on to improve speed and battery life. I will try the odexed later and report back. I should flash the sawfish version for the classic, right?
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
If you own Classic/BT/sport model then use sawfish. They are similar in hardware. Boot into TWRP, clean and wipe..flash the ROM and flash SuperSU or magisk and reboot...

Factory reset gives problem..try to use advanced wipe and then choose the options available without wipe the internal storage.
[Huawei Watch 2] janjan:
I will upload the stock ROMs for LTE and BT version, if someone gonna go back to stock completely. I will upload to Androidfile host..
[Huawei Watch 2] wfe82:
Odexed w/ magisk on 2 classic booted fine. Thank you!

[Huawei Watch 2] ajlajluk:
Installed this ROM today and so far I'm really impressed. It is much smoother, quicker and more responsive than stock. Thank you.

My only problem was when I installed TWRP. I installed it with "adb flash recovery recovery.img" but then when I tried to reboot into system it keep looping back to TWRP. Then when I tried to copy the ROM to the watch it kept failing with insufficient space errors.

Then I found a post with the answer: Don't use "adb flash recovery recovery.img" use "adb boot recovery.img". This installed TWRP without the insufficient space errors and allowed me to copy the ROM to the watch and install it perfectly.

One of my biggest dislikes of Wear OS 2 is that I can no longer connect to AsdaFreeWiFi. This is important to me as I work there and we are not allowed to have mobile phones on us while working. In Android Wear 1.4 I would get messages and notifications on my watch over wifi even though my phone was locked away. I know this is because of the captive portal which I used to be able to connect to using Wear Wifi and Wear Browser both by AppFour but they do not work on Wear OS 2.

Is this something that can be sorted out by one of you brilliant ROM builders in a future version? It would be great to have that facility back.

Keep up the good work for us not-so-techies. You cannot know how good it is to have you helping us to get the very best from our devices.

[Huawei Watch 2] Newtoir:
Hey Nagelfar83,

I had that issue the last three months too. I had to sent it to Huawei support to fix it. I relock the bootloader and got a all new watch back, even though I broke the warranty.

All instructions to fix the IMEI are for phones, tell me when you find a working solution :D

[Huawei Watch 2] noccon:
This rom sounds awesome! Two questions:

1. I have this annoying bug that the bluetooth connection between my Oneplus and my watch disconnects at some point and the only solution for me is to restart my phone to stay connected for the next 12-24 hours. Anyone else had this problem and got rid of by installing this custom rom?

2. How much faster is this rom compared to stock? I would be glad if someone could upload a short video of his watch with this rom and share the experience. That would be great!

Thank you for your work!

This rom is so smooth, but I cant find Strava app on Play store. Maybe its caused by rom, I could install Strava easily before with stock rom?

[Huawei Watch 2] zowpow:
Thanks!

Love this! My watch was really starting to show it's age and feeling sluggish (not that it wasn't kind of laggy to begin with), but with this ROM it's super smooth!

Some interesting things I encountered with the U.S. Bluetooth version:

TWRP isn't able to mount data partition, so you can't backup for some reason. Also you cannot factory reset through TWRP, use fastboot see below

Since you can't mount data partition and transfer the flashable zip, go to "install" in TWRP, then adb sideload mode. Use adb sideload to install. Took several tries to get it right for some reason, if it finishes in less than 10 seconds it didn't work

Once you flash, go back to fastboot and use 'fastboot erase userdata' and 'fastboot erase cache' b/c TWRP can't do it for some reason

Don't be scared if you hit the red circle exclamation mark bootloop, just hold the button until it vibrates, then short press it again to get to fastboot

To get Google Pay: Flash Magisk, sideload magisk manager, go to settings, check magisk core, then reboot, then use magisk hide and check everything google related (show system apps button in top right, hard to see with circle screen)
[Huawei Watch 2] Playmaster5000:
A question??

Anyone gotten tiles on this rom yet?
[Huawei Watch 2] pinko11:
If you are installing ROM you can boot in TWRP with fastboot command (fastboot boot recovery.img) - no need to flash TWRP. It mounts watch as media so just remain connected to your PC - HW2 will showup in Windows.
[Huawei Watch 2] Kianush:
No actually i want to know how to move the rom files or any other file to the watch so that i can flash with twrp
[Huawei Watch 2] pinko11:
TWRP mounts HW2 as MTP device, so you can transfer from PC ROM zips, or any other files to HW2 internal storage
[Huawei Watch 2] andrep182:
Also wondering about this. I haven't gotten it myself, but wonder if we're still waiting for the server side to push it, or if the ROM needs to be updated again.
[Huawei Watch 2] Alaadragonfire:
Nothing has to do with the ROM, you will get it once Google push the button "Server side".

error:255 restoring firmware partition

Hello Janjan and All. I've Huawei Watch 2 LTE-Sawshark flashed with OWDE.180926.001.A1 Janjan's Mod ROM, and it works beautifully as my daily driver, kudos to Janjan!

Since my dad want to use it with his phone synced, I've made a backup of every partition in twrp, then flashed again with Janjan's ROM. But after a while when I try to restore my TWRP backup, "firmware" partition couldn't be restored and give me "extracttarfork() process ended with error=255" line. From what described in the terminal, restore "firmware" partition consist of formating the partition and restoring the backed up files.

Since I worry that watch doesn't gonna boot up, I take advantage of still booted TWRP, to reflash the clean Janjan's ROM, then restore everything except the "firmware" partition. The watch boot up normally, and I use it as my daily driver again.

But I noticed that the "firmware" partition never gonna be the same size anymore. My backup "firmware" partition (which using Janjan ROM too) size is about 54mb, and the current "firmware" partition from the very newly flashed Janjan's ROM and after use it for a while never change and still 49mb, about 5mb deficit to the old backed up.

Tried to google it, some people get the same problem with their phone, and find the fingerprint doesn't work, or network/modem and wifi don't work, loosing IMEI, etc. I not yet to use the network tho, since my Watch 2 is e-sim version, and not loosing IMEI neither. but I do notice that the baseband version in Bootloader shows "N/A" I don't how it was before.

My question is:

What really the content of FIRMWARE partition are?

Is Janjan's ROM consist of firmware partition "thing"? I would really peaceful if it did, so with me flashing Janjan's ROM it also fill the "firmware" partition up, although it seems the size never be the same as before.

that's all, thankyou everybody, especially Jajan!!!
[Huawei Watch 2] Alaadragonfire:
Did you guys get Tiles update on this ROM or not?
[Huawei Watch 2] glenner05:
Yes, i installed this rom a week ago, and I immediately got the tiles.

Btw this is a fantastic rom! My hw2 lte is reborn! Battery life is the same as stock, maybe slightly better. But performance is superb, I don't understand why Google or Huawei were not able to tweak for this kind of performance. Also Google pay is working perfect in combination with magisk.

I haven't got a single issue since install.

[Huawei Watch 2] GarlicBreadFox:
Thanks a lot for both tutorials and the ROM!

I have a few doubts:

1. TWRP, when it starts, asks if I want to save on /system, I always say no. Also at the end of flashing custom ROM IIRC it asked me to install it. Is install the same as persisting on /system? And then there is the step on the previous guide that says to optionally flash the recovery. Is flashing the recovery, different from persisting to /system and different from installing via itself.

2. If I flash magisk, won't it automagically try to persist TWRP? I see the recommended is just to install magisk and that's it, so:

3. Why is it recommended NOT to flash TWRP but always boot the .img via adb. To save space only or...?

4. Once TWRP is flashed, how do I access it? Via volume button trick I can access fastboot=bootloader, but how to access stock or custom recovery?
[Huawei Watch 2] Prof Peach:
I just installed magisk last night in order to get gPay to work. No problem after using hide etc suggested above. Worked a treat in the freezer store.

For me it's ok to use ADB commands to boot into recovery as there are so few updates needed or available on this device. Yes it would be handy if it persisted as TWRP but the benefits of this rom far outweigh the extra time needed to flash updates.
[Huawei Watch 2] GarlicBreadFox:
Thank you, so that explains a portion of my doubts.
[Huawei Watch 2] MrContar1997:
I'm a bit on the fence about installing this, could you post a video showing the performance please? Especially opening apps like messages, if there's no downside and only positives I'll probably install it, big ones for me are Google pay and performance and battery life
[Huawei Watch 2] Prof Peach:
I've no video to show but there are no downsides.

Stock ROM is heavy and laggy, really laggy.

With this rom, everything happens pretty much instantly. With the ROM rooted and correct settings, Google pay works flawlessly. Battery life for my use is pretty much the same as stock. I charge my watch every 2nd night.
[Huawei Watch 2] MrContar1997:
How hard is it to get Google pay working? Is there a guide online?
[Huawei Watch 2] caesar68:
I did it today. Very simple. After installation of the ROM, reboot and setup, I rebooted again to twrp and installed the newest Magisk 19.3-zip. Google Pay works out of the Box without further activities ...
[Huawei Watch 2] glenner05:
Same for me. First flashed rom, did the first setup, after that flashed magisk zip and google pay worked without touching anything else...
[Huawei Watch 2] MrContar1997:
I flashed the rom and did the setup then rebooted and flashed the magisk zip, I can see a Google fit symbol and a Google play services symbol in magisk but I don't know what to do to make Google pay worm, also what is pay enabler? It's an app on my watch now
[Huawei Watch 2] gsmsource:
where is the original rom? link is broken
[Huawei Watch 2] glenner05:
Try running pay enabler. It should activate google pay, you probably live in a country where google pay on wear os is disabled. With pay enabler you can temporarily activate google pay, however it will disappear again after a while. There is no workaround for that. I linked pay enabler to my watches second button, and when needed to pay I press the button. Pay enabler works fully automatic now, the only disadvantage is that i takes a little longer until the watch is ready to make the payment.

What I do is when waiting in the row in a store is already running pay enabler so Google pay is already activated. when it's my turn to pay it instantly pops up.
[Huawei Watch 2] MrContar1997:
I think you're doing it wrong, mine seems to be working fine like normal now, I went into magisk and hid magisk for all the Google services apps and registered my card on my watch and it so far has worked fine, I had to reactivate once about 20 minutes after the initial activation but so far it works fine, try playing with magisk a bit cause pay enabler in the settings says it's for automatic payments on Google play store

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

Do you think you'd be able to add an option to allow customisation of the "watch mode" watch face? That would make this watch my dream watch and is the only thing I dislike that I can't change it
[Huawei Watch 2] Prof Peach:
I'd love the battery if by default the watch was running in "watch mode". Pressing the bottom hardware button activated "normal smart-watch mode" and another press took it back into "watch mode" .

For the vast majority of my daily use, watch mode is ok for me and a quick/easy way to smart up would be great.

I worked the first time, many time ago.

But 2 days ago I needed to resync my watch and now I'm facing the issue "couldn't copy your account".

I tryed almost everything, even remove my Google account from the phone, clear Google play services and wear OS app, disable add blocker...

Just didn't a full wipe on my phone cause I don't wanna.

Despite that, I don't know if it is related, but I'm not receiving Google security prompts.
[Huawei Watch 2] MrContar1997:
Once you get the recovery running you can copy files to your watch, you copy the rom, then in the recovery flash the rom

thnks! there is any guide you know?

first time.. dont even know how to copy files..

and what is it magisk? you dont only need the room?
[Huawei Watch 2] Prof Peach:
I'd suggest doing a big of research before you start flashing firmware. You need to know a bit about the process and the extras like magisk of you can very easily render your phone/tablet/watch completely useless.

I've have been flashing from XDA for 10yrs and I found flashing the watch a bit tricky as my pc was acting up.
[Huawei Watch 2] ori5552:
Yes I understand, I already succeeded to brick my watch and unbrick it back to life, ?*♂️

now it is android 8.0, which is fine but the imei is 0, and I understand it’s because I flashed the original room, so I tried to root it with mkn tool, but didn’t succeed to root it, and got back trying to flash the sawfish and maybe get my imei back with it.. so if you direct me to guides or when I can do my research?

Thanks ahead!

Hi [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION] I'm modifying a Huawei 2 watches for a client, to run special purpose software. It needs boot time start and periodic GPS updates. I can't go into detail because of NDA / confidentiality but it is a completely legitimate use - the users of the watches are people at risk, who will have full knowledge of and give consent to having their position tracked.

Love your root ROM instructions and TWRP, tried them out, works perfectly - got root access.

But I'm not sure what to do next. Ideally I'd like to disable Android Oreo background limitations, so I can start background services at boot time, prevent the watch sleep from disabling periodic service wakeup.

Any thoughts? I'm going to download Android Oreo, try to build my own ROM, but if you have any thoughts which would make this easier I'd really appreciate your help.

Many Thanks,

Eric

Hello Eric, nice to hear that you like my work.. Enjoy... It is actually very easy to do/ can be done in different ways.. I will Ofc do my best to help you with that..but right now I am very sick and in bed rest.

You can also build an app to receive GPS updates periodic. Have you think about that?
