[Huawei Watch] cybericius:
Solution guide with all the needed steps

UPDATED 2018-01-09

Alright, folks.

Here comes the resolution!

1. Download the full AW1.5 M6E69F firmware

On the official Android website, you can find a link that will lead you - after accepting the terms - to the full installation package of a 1.5 firmware, (direct link to M6E69F image).

2. Download and install the Google ADB driver - optional if you already have it

On the official website of Android,, there is a link that always leads to the latest downloadable ADB driver for Windows.

3. Download and install ADB and Fastboot - optional if you already have it

On the official website of Google, threre is a link that leads to the downloadable platform tools including ADB and Fastboot.

4. Extract the M6E69F package file

Get the 7zip installation for your OS to extract the package file.

Follow the installation steps of 7zip.

These are the files we need at the end:

flash-all.sh
image-sturgeon-m6e69f.zip
flash-all.bat
bootloader-sturgeon-m6e69f.img

5. Copy them into the folder where you have installed ADB/Fastboot.

6. Put the watch on the USB cradle that is connected to the PC.

7. Start up the watch to Fastboot mode:

1) While the watch is on, hold down the power button.

(I just pressed the button of the watch for long enough (~10s), thus it switched off itself and I kept pressing the button onward.)

2) The screen will go black for about 2 seconds and then boot into the Huawei logo. Keep holding down the power button.

3) Wait for the first vibration, release the power button and then immediately give the power button one short press.

Note: If you feel the second vibration, you waited too long to do the release and press. Start over again with Step 1.

​

8. Open the Command Prompt/Powershell and get to the ADB/Fastboot/Firmware folder.

1. Start the File Explorer.

2. Navigate to the folder that contains ADB, Fastboot and Firmware, but do not enter into it.

3. Shift-right click on the folder.

4. Select Open Powershell window here - or similar to what the OS you use has (e.g. Command Prompt)

5. Execute the command

fastboot.exe devices

. This should result in showing an ID of the device:

PS C:\adb> .\fastboot.exe devices
MQB7N16120000974 fastboot

If that is not shown, do troubleshooting in the forum. Also, make sure you are in fastboot mode once again.

6. Unlock the bootloader:

fastboot oem unlock

7. Execute the command

flash-all.bat

from the same folder. You should see something like below:

PS C:\adb> .\flash-all.bat

Press any key to exit...

8. Lock the bootloader:

fastboot oem lock

9. Pair your watch

Pair your watch to the Android Wear app on your phone. Unfortunately, it is necessary to continue.

10. Check for new firmware, step 1

Go to the Settings/System/About menu of the watch and select System updates. In my case the download of the new AW2.0 FW was in progress already, but you might need to check for a new firmware manually. Wait for the watch to install the new firmware. In my case it happened to be N7G75S, so I was a bit worried at this point about the successful outcome of step 11, since that FW never has successfully allowed the upgrade to the latest available one.

11. Check for new firmware, step 2

After having the new AW2.0 FW successfully upgraded, check for a new firmware again. Go to the Settings/System/About menu of the watch and select System updates. Wait for the new update to be installed.

12. FINAL DESTINATION

Finally! You should have by now under the Build number section the new firmware version NWD1.171016.002 or newer indicated! System is up to date. Check!

Let me know if I need to update this full description. It would I think help everyone, as only one post would have to be checked as a reference.
