I have no idea about others. But I have already one with a new kernel with a lot of improvements. Need to take some time and upload.

But we need a thread for Ticwatch E and S. If someone goona ask for a thread for our device Ticwatch S and E. I will probably upload and continue my work for future.
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
I will contact a mod or admin and see.

EDIT: I sent a message to AzBiker. We'll have to wait and see what he says.

Also, I can't seem to flash SuperSu on my Ticwatch E. I followed the directions to the letter, unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP, rebooted into stock recovery, etc. I didn't see a flashable persistent TWRP file, and the SuperSu zip returns an error 2. Anyone know why?
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
TWRP seems to be there still, it's just SuperSU won't flash. Error 2.

By the way, anyone know what's safe to disable on this watch?
[Other SmartWatches] blackknightavalon:
OP seems to have gone bye-bye. I recommend using Fastboot to flash the stock recovery image mentioned in OP then rebooting the phone if it's still booting directly into recovery
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Phone??
[Other SmartWatches] blackknightavalon:
I had quite a few beers in my system when I typed that up :p
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
lol

Wow, he hasn't posted in 4 days.
[Other SmartWatches] Nazo:
Does this file exist anywhere? Someone else asked and never received an answer. Do we just not need it?

Strangely I'm having troubles getting the SuperSU file too. I googled around and found that specific ZIP, but so far it won't transfer over via any means.

EDIT: Got SuperSU-wearable transferred over by turning on the adb wifi support and using that to adb push. MTP won't work at all (maybe I need a specific driver? No one mentioned one and it's using some default perhaps installed from something else.) For some reason adb push via USB was freezing up or taking so long I couldn't tell (I'm a patient person, but we're talking 15+ minutes of waiting which just shouldn't be no matter how slow a device is...) I'm using a generic adb driver (well, none was specified, just that generic installer which may or may not have updated the generic driver.)
[Other SmartWatches] Useless_Alias:
I was going to mention this a few days ago. When playing with this watch adb is unstable. I found being connected to the watch through a powered usb hub corrected this.

I have systemless root and busybox installed from the links below. I installed SU first, then I saw busybox detected systemless root during its installation. Hope this helps, I haven't been able to verify the root working. I type adb shell then su at the prompt and there is no change from $ to #. Any other ideas to verify whether or not it is working?

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72122382&postcount=55

Also, if you reset after for any reason, be ready to fastboot stock recovery or you will bootloop TWRP again. At least that's what Ive seen so far
[Other SmartWatches] Nazo:
Did you flash that zip? I was able to test su and access folders it wouldn't let me access as a normal user after I flashed a zip within that TWRP. EDIT: I found it linked in the top of this thread: https://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/android-wear-6-0-1-root-squashfs-t3319097

I get bootloops if I reset, but it seems holding the power button a moment makes it reset normally?
[Other SmartWatches] Useless_Alias:
To get rid of the bootloop I rebooted to fastboot via TWRP then from adb,

fastboot boot StockRecovery_TicwatchE.img

I read through that post too and a few others, ultimately that was and is how my watch is at the moment. Runs well so far, I tried a few of the advanced options apps and i cannot get it to boot into recovery or fastboot via either. I tried that button remap app and theater mode just makes the screen blink, it doesn't go into the mode. Maybe it is the way the app is written, I don't know.

---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

OK, found a good SU. This post is where I found it: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73572631&postcount=7

adb push SuperSU-v2.82-wear.zip /sdcard/

adb reboot recovery

reboot via TWRP

Button remapper app works as well as the Reboot to Recovery options in the Advanced Settings app from Play Store

For someone just trying this, you may need to flash busybox after the SU, I already had it installed, the 2.82 version seems to make the root apps work within wear
[Other SmartWatches] janjan:
Use the SuperSu and Magisk from my Huawei Watch 2 or Asus Zenwatch 3 thread. SuperSu and Magisk are working fine.
[Other SmartWatches] Useless_Alias:
Maybe OP to update 1st post with that? :) ^^
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
OP is gone.
[Other SmartWatches] aramus92:
If I found the right thread, this is not Magisk 16. Is there a newer version out already? Can you give us a link to the right Magisk?
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Is this project dead?
[Other SmartWatches] janjan:
Hope not. I am going to upload my work soon. Need to make a thread first.
[Other SmartWatches] blackknightavalon:
TWRP doesn't even work right. I had to reflash stock recovery to get my watch working
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Well, mods won't make a subforum as of yet as there seems to be little development for this device, but if you can get a working ROM for it (even with the broken TWRP we have), I suppose they might take notice.
[Other SmartWatches] redmacaw:
Now I use TicWatch E Chinese version if you can be system as android waer. I am very glad, now my Ticwatch E can not activate like firmware does not exist.
[Other SmartWatches] janjan:
I have a ROM and kernel for Ticwatch s/e (kernel source is already available). I extract the images from the Ticwatch S. I am gonna upload them somewhere soon (MY ROM + custom Kernel).
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
What?
[Other SmartWatches] Nazo:
I... Think he's saying he put the firmware from the Chinese version on the worldwide one? (As I understand they are slightly different. Mostly the Chinese one has basic SIM support whereas the worldwide one has this removed. I don't know of other differences.) Maybe it improved Android Wear support in some manner but then stopped booting? Or maybe he's saying he has the Chinese version and put this on it and now it won't boot?
[Other SmartWatches] nikhel:
Hey, please do that soon, even I had Chinese version of ticwear on my ticwatch e, so flashed stock ticwear rom from ticwatch 2, now looking for AW 2.0 for Ticwatch E, Ticwear sucks... o.O :p

Update : Issue Solved !!
[Other SmartWatches] basicreece:
What can we do once rooted on this watch? Been toying with idea of rooting and having twrp but not sure what benefits of get from it at the moment.
[Other SmartWatches] inuer:
how to unlock bootloader ticwatch e?

[Other SmartWatches] ibedanny:
This watch definitely deserves its own sub forum. With a referral code, you can pick up this watch for 135 bucks shipped. Can't beat that.
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Well, we're hoping some devs will create more threads regarding development of this watch. Until then, you can also keep an eye on /r/TicWatch on Reddit.

Got TWRP bootloop when trying to reboot watch. I have it fixed back to stock, but how do i get TWRP and rooted without the bootloops?
[Other SmartWatches] BackCheck:
Please read all the instructions in the first post.
[Other SmartWatches] basicreece:
I did this then it was no longer rooted and no TWRP.
[Other SmartWatches] BackCheck:
After performing this you should end up booting to a normal Ticwatch system and then be able to use adb to reboot to recovery and it should be TWRP. If it does not, you likely have done something wrong.
[Other SmartWatches] Fcukfame:
I'd donate for this!

I'm sure you'll be forgiven! :)
[Other SmartWatches] basicreece:
Stuck on the ticwatch bootloop?!?! flashes up the ticwatch logo for a few seconds every 2 minutes or so.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Ups yes I did. I will do this tonight or tomorrow.. sorry
[Other SmartWatches] basicreece:
Any ideas how to flash stock back to ticwatch s which wont power past the ticwatch logo?
[Other SmartWatches] basicreece:
OK i know can boot into recovery.

Hold power button untill i you feel the long vibrate, as soon as it stops press power button twice quickly. Needs to be timed perfectly.

Im now in recovery, but flashing stock and or twrp still puts me in a boot loop.

I think i need a stock zip to flash or img boot file. think i stupidly flash boot.
[Other SmartWatches] janjan:
It usually goes into boot loop due to modifications in system. Did u modify anything in the system?

I am going to make a new op and upload stock ROM and my own ROM+ kernel+ twrp Hopefully later tonight or tomorrow. I need to upload the kernel source before releasing anything here in XDA.
[Other SmartWatches] basicreece:
Think I stupidly flashed stock recovery as boot in TWRP.

Managed to get back into TWRP but cannot mount data.

So far it's dead, any help would be good. I have bought another watch anyway.
[Other SmartWatches] janjan:
As long you can boot into bootloader..it is not dead. You can still save it.
[Other SmartWatches] basicreece:
Yeah I can get into boot loader.

Will await your rom and see what we can do. Can use this watch as a test watch as ordered new one.

Warranty

Warranty voided or not? Can it still update?
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Most likely not, because some system apps have been removed.
[Other SmartWatches] basicreece:
This is Mobvoi, warranty is voided as soon as you purchase it!

The WearOS app on the watch was updated twice since installing custom rom and kernel and no issues. I doubt the watch itself will allow updates though

I just received that. Need to extract the update.zip and make a flasable zip..crossing finger.
[Other SmartWatches] Fcukfame:
BTW... The custom kernel and ROM made by janjan for the Ticwatch S.. It does work perfectly on the Ticwatch E as well. Been using it since janjan has posted it in the other thread and can't complain about a thing ? which is good ofcourse!

Only did not get magisk to work but that probably is me not reading the instructions properly hehe he.
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Are you uploading the original zip, or are you working on a custom one already?
[Other SmartWatches] EpicLPer:
Since the Android P Wear update was released today I'm trying to see what I have to do to get it installed on my rooted Ticwatch E, but I guess it's just simply to restore the original boot.img onto it again. Still testing tho :)
[Other SmartWatches] EpicLPer:
Okay, after unrooting and replacing TWRP with Stock recovery again I still wasn't able to get the update onto my watch, failed midway through but not sure why...
[Other SmartWatches] EpicLPer:

Sorry for being late to the party. I would've deleted this post had I been able to.
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Wow, you're alive!

EDIT: I actually checked system updates a few times in a row before going to sleep. It vibrated all of a sudden, and I looked at the notifications. It was downloading the system update. It was dead when I woke up though. Charged to 100%, checked system update again, and it said it was ready to install. Rebooted and I got the Android recovery screen with the error triangle (!) thing. DAMN IT. I didn't modify it in any way, just disabled some system apps (not installed, disabled). Shouldn't have an issue at this point. WTF. Guess I'm gonna have to manually flash that update.zip uploaded on the last page. Wish me luck!
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Nope, all I get is

>adb sideload update.zip
loading: 'update.zip'
error: device '(null)' not found
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Flashed the stock boot.img and recovery, then let the watch update. It rebooted, showed the spinning animation with a progress bar, then rebooted.... Annnnnnnd it failed. What do I do? I really want to get this update installed.
[Other SmartWatches] EpicLPer:
I saw that you can't simply remove root the way I did, you'll have to use the flashtool. I'm waiting for [MENTION=7743557]Luxios[/MENTION] to get back to me to provide a proper way to do this :)
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
I wasn't rooted, though. At least I don't think I was.

I ran the "su" command in adb shell, and it returned "not found." So..... I'm not rooted. No reason for this update to NOT work.
[Other SmartWatches] Useless_Alias:
If you hold the power button for 2-3 seconds while in the failed stock recovery then swipe from top to bottom 3x then press power button (verify the menu item changes first) you can view the recovery log (also top/bottom swiping) to see cause of the failure.

W/ TWRP if you can get it to your SD card then sideload from SD you'll see the same errors without the stock recovery hassle.

My failure was version expectation mismatch.
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
I'll try that once it finishes downloading, for the FOURTH time, and attempt the update again.
[Other SmartWatches] Useless_Alias:
It is time consuming, I feel your pain. I started looking for resources for to modify the script allowing the bypass of the checks. I lack time for the trial and error of things, as is off to visit mom in a few. Good luck!
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
I couldn't find anything other than a long blob of useless digits and numbers. Nothing helpful. I accidentally entered the sideload option, couldn't get out. Had to force a reboot. "adb devices" STILL wouldn't list anything. So it's not detecting my watch, or the driver for it isn't properly installed. If there IS one....
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Any update on the "unroot" process? Or at least a flashable zip/image?
[Other SmartWatches] EpicLPer:

[Other SmartWatches] f465gt:
Hi,

I tried to flash the TWRP image on my E but it states that there is no partition available when I try to flash the v003.img. So I managed to unlock the bootloader but that's very much it. Is the provided procedure still valid after my watch had been updated to Android 8?

Also I need a bit more support regarding the following "flash zip file" steps. Where can I find those zip files for making TWRP persistent and inject SU? I mean if I somehow managed to flash the TWRP image in the first place. :p

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] f465gt:
Ok, I think the fix for the partition error is to send fastboot oem lock and right after that fastboot oem unlock. Apparently this does something which helps to mount the needed partitions.
[Other SmartWatches] f465gt:
Is somebody monitoring this thread? I flashed the v003.img, but where are those zip files from the instructions? There is no such folder on my watch, nor are they provided as a download.
[Other SmartWatches] f465gt:
Ok, I found the supersu folder, which is not in the expected /sdcard/ location but on root. However, the provided SuperSu file does not work on my "E". Perhaps because I'm already on Oreo, I dunno. TWRP exits with error code "2".

The second zip file to make TWRP persistent is also missing. I guess something is wrong with the provided image file.
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
The topic creator has apparently abandoned the thread again.
[Other SmartWatches] f465gt:
My oh my. Finally I got root on my TicWatch E. It runs the latest Oreo update and the way I did it was:

- get the latest Magisk file from: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

- go to TWRP as described here in the instructions

- I pushed the zip file to my sdcard and installed it

- now you are rooted, but you can't do anything with it since MagiskManager asks you for permission which you can't grant, because you don't see the buttons

- here's the trick

- go to the options of the TicWatch and find the options for ease of access (in German it is Bedienungshilfen)

- activate the "tap 3x for zoom" option

- in MagiskManager you can now tap on the upper left corner and there is the settings menu (three bars)

- set the app to automaticall grant root permission (see https://xdaforums.com/g-watch/development/tutorial-root-android-wear-6-0-1-t3588647)

- voila, you got root

- what a mess, honestly

I have tried like ten times. I'm I missing something, Or doing something wrong?
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
Because it doesn't exist. For whatever reason, either it's missing a step, or he forgot to include that in the zips?

But I guess it is not needed anyways. On my E watch the TWRP is still present, even w/o this zip file.

where can I find?
[Other SmartWatches] f465gt:
It is not there. As I mentioned earlier. On my watch it worked w/o this file though.
[Other SmartWatches] EpicLPer:
This was probably for an older version of the download, it should already include the keeper when you flash it initially.
[Other SmartWatches] Fir3lordZuk0:
Unrelated question but Ticwatch forum (Mobvoi site) seems to be not working for me, is it the se case for you guys? Last update I see is from June18. Whatever post I am doing on the forum is not getting approved.

https://forum.mobvoi.com/viewforum.php?f=34&sid=129bbe490923323cf73bdfaa1868c4b6

It tried XDA search for any Ticwatch forum but couldn't find any but this forum.
[Other SmartWatches] GuyInDogSuit:
There isn't a forum for this watch. I asked a mod for one and it was never addressed again. As far as the Mobvoi forums go, I'm pretty sure it's dead now. If it weren't for the release of the TW Pro, I'd say they were going under.
[Other SmartWatches] Nazo:
Perhaps related to this whole trade war mess? The US is drying up as a viable market for the rest of the world now.

Well, I suppose we never really should have expected a whole lot from this one anyway. It was never exactly super high end material. It just struck so many good balances between things for a great price.
[Other SmartWatches] Fir3lordZuk0:
Thanks.

There are no topics in Ticwatch pro thread as well that's y I thought may be something is wrong.
[Other SmartWatches] f465gt:
Hi guys,

it looks as if the latest updated of Wear OS does something to the Recovery.img. When the update is installed and a reboot is performed, I am back in the TWRP bootloop. You can still get out of it via rebooting to bootloader and fastboot. But the system update is noted as failed. If I install it again it is back to bootloop again.

Any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] f465gt:
I "solved" this issue by removing TWRP and reverting everything back to stock. To remove TWRP you have to push the Stock Recovery image to the TicWatch and boot to TWRP. Then install the said image to recovery. Then you use the mentioned Oreo installer to revert all images back to the stock Oreo ones. After that lock the bootloader and your are back at stock.

And flash your ROM again. Remember to backup your stuff before formatting userdata. It will remove everything from your device.
