Not sure how but I do have a working phone once more which has been flashed with a ROM downloaded from the net with SPFT although I would preferably like to return it back to its original setup.

I do have a full backup ROM made with the readback tab in SPFT (v5.1708.00) but it is in one large file (around 2.5Gb) which I have NOT been unable to create a scatter file for or split into the various partitions from it.

You mention using the "Write Memory" tab but I don't see that tab in SPFT but have just found a Parameter tab where there is some kind of read / write setting but it won't accept the file and not sure of the write length either.

If you mean using the download tab it looks like it is wanting the file split into the different partitions and think I would need a scatter file from the readback file.

I have tried with miracle box and MTK tools to try and create a scatter file but didn't have much luck with either of those.

Is there any other way of getting the large readback file back onto the phone as I don't want to use the current ROM and its scatter file as it is for a 5045x and not a 5045Y and seems there are a few odd bits that don't seem right.

Again and further help appreciated.

Many Thanks

I just saw this on sammobile.com:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6/SM-G920P/SPR/download/G920PVPS4DQL2/202858/

So we are now at QL2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] po8pimp:
That is the only one available on the net, however the most up to date one is the RA2. If you update to QL2, then update prior to rooting, you will get RA2. http://www.mediafire.com/?n9sohbttktss3

Here is the update file. RA2: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vzirbrvtfb8grv5/update.zip

I feel like we are sort of floundering since koop1955 departed the board. Are there tutorials out the on getting the .tar file created? Thanks Shawn
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] po8pimp:
no, it's easy to update. First Odin the .tar file from Second Post for QL2, then you will reboot phone wait for it to load normally. After bootup, you can either update OTA with Sprint, or you can shutdown phone and Odin the Recovery software of your choosing. I prefer TWRP. Make sure your settings for Odin do not have RESTART checked. Once you see PASS in Odin, you will Hold "Home+Volume Down+Power" until download screen restarts and gives you the option to "cancel by pressing down". Do that and quickly press and hold "Home+Volume Up+Power" to boot into Recovery. Connect phone to computer or however you need to get Update file on phone. Then you will move the "update.zip" file to /cache/fota. Restart phone and update as normal.

Never used this but happen to stumble upon it, so tried installing the May version. Running latest Swift ROM from this forum. Installed this kernel image and when I rebooted I had no bluetooth and couldn't turn it on. Flashed back the boot image from Swift and my bluetooth is back. Not sure why this didn't work.

I will take a look. Thanks for the feedback.

Fwiw, this is usually a sign that the wifi (or other) kernel module is out of sync with the rest of the kernel. Probably a simple fix for him to make.

You are lucky, you have not yet installed it. LOL

The kernel is not useable, it messes up the

I was able to simply revert to my previous kernel and reapply the root zip to get back up and running. Didn't need to reset anything. That's a temp solution until the bluetooth/wifi issue is fixed.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Use the old one until I fix the BT issue.

Umm I will say BT is broken. Not like useable ..maybe if u don't know how to use kernel Audiutor app.

Yes. Don't need to reset anything. Just flash the old kernel.

thanks for this kernel :D

these are the steps how i update it

1.boot in fastboot,flash the kernel

2.boot in system,i found the supersu wasn't working

3.boot in fastboot again and flashed TWRP

4.flash supersu and busybox,then flash back to stock recovery

5.done,all working

Hi, I've flashed the latest kernel (29 oh may) on the stock rom; i did all the things that is written on the first post: (busybox+supersu, kernel adiutor 1267max, 533 min, powersave governor), but I noticed a very big battery drain. In 6:13 hour of screen tha battery goes down from 100% to 21% without any usage.

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

same problem as mine. But not with all the apps, only with 3 (watchmaste, authenticator, maps).

But i have a very bad battery drain.

Another things that i noticed is that with this kernel i don't have a TTS for the answers of google assistant. With the original one i had it.

I must be missing a step somewhere because I keep getting that error. I also pushed the apk to the sdcard. No dice. Is there a more thorough tutorial?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Did u flash the SuperSU zip? Take a look my ROM thread. Enjoy
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Pteer Griffin:
Yup, already rooted and had busy box installed.

Can't figure it out. Found Advanced Settings on the play store which seems to work okay. But the max frequency still says 1094400. I did flash your latest kernel
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
Did u use adb/fastboot to flash the latest kernel?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] k3vink3vin:
occasionally after leaving the watch standby overnight (with screen off), it becomes very slow where its unusable (clockface takes forever to load up) and i had to force power off.

i once patiently waited the watch to wake and navigate through the menu to run kernel auditor and it seems the clock speed is stuck at 533mhz.

this is after flashing the latest kernel and setup kernel auditor according to the note in first post

little feedback, i think u did a great Job [MENTION=490110]janjan[/MENTION]

its stable, its almost lag free. (i have some major lags after deepsleep). But most important the battery doing great.

-what i also think what helped is the battery save guied
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Java_SE_Binary:
Just installed the most recent version, seems like my Bluetooth isn't working at all. Any suggestions?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] thompo:
My watch keeps losing Bluetooth connection to phone. Connection to phone over WIFI seems to work but is only useful when I'm at home, i.e. very seldom. The only way to reconnect watch and phone by BT is by rebooting the watch. After rebooting, the BT connenction is up for an hour or so. Then it's time for another reboot. Also, the battery drains rather fast, about 7% per hour, and I cannot see any improvements regarding lagging over the 6 Dec ROM. Going back to that ROM now.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] janjan:
It could be due to dirty flash over the previous one. I am going to include the new kernel with a new ROM. I will post the link when it is ready. You need to clean flash the ROM (boot into TWRP and wipe, clean or factory reset then flash the new ROM)
[Asus ZenWatch 3] thompo:
OK. Will try. Right now I am having problems pairing the watch to the phone after factory reset. Getting stuck at

"Continue setup on phone".

Any ideas?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: Getting stuck

[/COLOR]

[MENTION=4529592]thompo[/MENTION]

If you get stuck and the watch says "Continue Setup on phone" then simply uninstall

the wear os app and re-install it when the watch says to continue setup on phone.

(uninstalling and re-installing the wear os app wipes all it's data for a clean installation)

Then when you open the wear os app be sure to select "pair new watch"

in the wear os app and continue setting up to watch using the wear os app.

Good luck,

Have a great day!

I just tried this and when I select "pair new watch" in the Wear OS app (after re-installing), it cannot find the watch.

EDIT: I'm not sure that uninstalling and reinstalling really clears previous data, as both the ZW3 and my other smartwatch keeps showing up in the Wear OS app after the fresh re-install.

Can I flash the ANDROID_WEAR_1.5_2.0_Root.zip directly after this? Do I need to boot and setup in between? Should I factory reset in between?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: rooting

[MENTION=4529592]thompo[/MENTION]

First get the watch working properly before rooting.

After it boots up completely then reboot to recovery (into twrp).

Then using adb copy the root-zip file into your watch's sdcard

like this: " ADB push android_wear_1.5_2.0_root.zip /sdcard/ "

(without the quotation marks)

Then install the "android_wear_1.5_2.0_root.zip" using twrp.

Please note:

Unless you have a very specific reason to root, DON'T root!

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] thompo:
I thought I needed to root in order to get Kernel Auditor working? But maybe I don't need Kernel Auditor to set Darkness? Maybe this is already preset in this kernel?
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
rooting, kernel etc.

[MENTION=4529592]thompo[/MENTION]

Most all the screens in wear os 2.0 (android wear 2.0)

are dark already, not 100% black but very dark.

There will be about 5-6 updates for apps in the watch's

play store. Be sure to let the play store download and

install them before doing anything else to the watch.

Once the apps are updated the watch will run a lot

smoother and faster which is very noticeable when

you tap and or scroll throughout the user interfaces (UI).

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] thompo:
Ok, so now I have got it working. What I needed to do to pair was to wipe the app data for the Wear OS app and for Google Play services. I flashed the new ROM and the root zip after each other. There after I booted, paired and set up the watch, opened Busybox and installed, installed and opened Kernel Auditor, selected the Darkness CPU GOVERNOR. Now, everything seems to be running smoothly - fingers crossed.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
kernel auditor

[MENTION=4529592]thompo[/MENTION]

Great...

What did the DARKNESS do for your watch after you selected it in the kernel auditor?

Thanks!
[Asus ZenWatch 3] thompo:
DARKNESS is the name of the CPU Governor. What a CPU Governor does... well I could try to explain it, but I think your're better off googling it. According to janjan and txx3, it will improve the battery life and reduce the lag. Since I've only been using it for a couple of hours, it's to soon for me to say.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: kernel governor

[MENTION=4529592]thompo[/MENTION]

Okay, I see now...

I thought you meant you want to make all the screens in the watch dark in color...LOL

Let me and others here know if it really and noticeably improves battery life and lag.

If it does, I wonder why Janjan did not pre-root the new rom if necessary and simply

enabled the darkness" feature in the kernel before he zipped the rom zip file. LOL .

Thanks and good luck with the kernel.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] thompo:
[MENTION=3516441]Misterjunky[/MENTION]

I've been two days on this kernel now. Wi-Fi turned off, screen always on, tilt wrist to light up, OK Google detection off.

Battery draw is 5% per hour. This is pretty much the same as the original kernel. This kernel _feels_ a bit smoother, but the improvement is not vast.

Bugs that I have found is that I cannot delete incoming e-mail on the watch and cannot reply to incoming text message on the watch. Says the watch is not connected although it surely is.
[Asus ZenWatch 3] Misterjunky:
re: zenwatch 3 problems

Try enabling automatic wifi and reboot the watch.

Most likely the text messages and deleting email will work.
