Thought I would add this small guide here as I’ve been trying to find something similar and didn’t.
Before I start-off, All the credits go to the amazing XDA Developers and their respective mods, as things would’ve never been this easy or straight-forward without their dedication and hard work. Namely @bunny0007 , @intersectRaven , @invisiblek and @Tomsgt
Having both the LG G Watches, It was only a matter of time that I too wanted the new OTA Updates, so as to use the sort-of-amazing features it promised. Now being on a Stock-rooted 5.1.1 firmware from @bunny0007 and running a Custom Kernel from @intersectRaven, I was told that it wouldn’t be possible to get the OTA installed even if it popped-up (Well it would install, but not actually show anything) This I tried, But when the watch rebooted; it showed a dead android bot with an exclamation over it’s guts! Which to me meant, things weren’t apparently going in the right direction. After a couple of trials, this* is what eventually worked ...
*A word of caution before you proceed, this worked for me and “might” not work for you. So if your watch gets nuked or bricked (which again, I highly doubt it would), it ain’t my fault but yours and murphy’s alone!
Now that’s out of the way, Let’s make sure we have the bare necessities such as:
A PC that can run ADB and Fastboot Commands using CMD, usually Installed by:
◦ The 15 Seconds ADB Installer - XDA Post
◦ The Android SDK Platform Tools - link
◦ The Necessary Google Drivers - link
The Stock 5.1.1 (LDZ22D) Boot, Recovery and System images:
◦ For G Watch - link
◦ For G Watch R - XDA Post
The most recent TeamWin Recoveries
◦ For G Watch (dory) - link
◦ For G Watch R (lenok) - link
The Wear SuperSU, that can be used on both the watches - link
*Optional: The Custom Kernels
◦ For G Watch by @invisiblek - XDA Post
◦ For G Watch R by @intersectRaven - XDA Post
*Optional: The Advanced Settings App - Google Playstore
*These are strictly optional and are only based-off of my personal preferences. Feel free to install any custom kernel or tweaking apps of your choice.
TIP: If you need to flash a file from a particular folder, You can invoke CMD by holding the Shift Key and Right-click to see the Open command window here option.
1) Restoring to Stock & Relocking the Bootloader (This is only if you have unlocked your bootloader and have rooted previously)
a. Make sure, the watch is charged to a 100%, Can’t stress this enough!
b. Enable Adb Debugging on your watch. Eh, how?
Go to Settings > About.
Tap on the Build Number repeatedly until it says You’re a Developer.
Go back and tap on Developer options and Enable ADB Debugging.
As you place the watch on the cradle that is connected to your PC, you’ll be prompted to Are you sure?, Select Always allow from this computer and click OK.
Once you have downloaded and extracted the appropriate Image zip for your watch into a folder. You should see the following files: Boot.img, Recovery.img and System.img!
c. Now Access CMD will elevated privileges or in other words as admin and enter the following codes:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
fastboot -w
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Code:
fastboot reboot
With the final command, the watch will reboot showing the Lg logo minus the lock sign, which means the bootloader has been locked. It should then continue onto boot into Android Wear. Yes, it’s going to take some time to complete, so be patient and let it do it’s thing.
2) Installing the OTA Update
Once the watch boots into android wear, Go through the initial setup and link it with your phone. Then go to Settings > About > System Updates, where you’ll see your new update being downloaded. When done, Accept to install and the watch will reboot to install the update without any issues. Once completed, It will upgrade the existing apps on the watch and boot into Android wear.
Congrats, You have now installed the new update!
3) Unlocking the Bootloader & Flashing TWRP
As with any other android device, You’ll need to unlock the bootloader to install a custom recovery. So enable debugging the same way as mentioned at the beginning of this guide. Invoke CMD and enter the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Code:
fastboot reboot
The watch will reboot showing the Lg logo with an unlocked sign, meaning the bootloader has been unlocked. Again, as it boots into android wear, Go through the initial setup and link it with your phone. Enable Adb Debugging, Invoke CMD and enter the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.0-lenok.img
Now on the watch, using the < O > keys, select Recovery Mode and press the O key to enter into TeamWin Recovery. This is required to be done only once, because if you directly reboot after flashing the recovery, there are chances it won’t work. Proceed to reboot by pressing the Reboot button in TWRP.
4) Sideloading SuperSU and Installing it using TWRP
Once the watch has booted back up, Invoke CMD and enter the following commands to push SuperSU zip & to reboot into recovery:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb push Wear-SuperSU-v2.40.zip /sdcard/
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Now on the watch, You should be in TWRP. Select Install and scroll down to find the zip and swipe to flash. It will show as successful and proceed to reboot.
Congrats, You are now rooted and how do you check you are? Once the watch has rebooted into android wear. Invoke CMD and enter the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
5) Install the Custom Kernel (Optional)
This is more of an individual choice on which custom kernel you want to use, As it depends on how you use the watch. Myself being a light user, I use the single core vr of the custom kernel from the dev @intersectRaven to make it more battery friendly. Invoke CMD and enter the following commands:
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
fastboot boot single.boot.img
That is, If you want to boot the image temporarily, but this will reset to stock after a restart or
Code:
fastboot flash boot single.boot.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
6) Install Advanced Settings (Optional)
This free tiny little app has been a lifesaver and gets updated often with new features. There are lots of things you can configure and tweak without the need to edit manually via adb.
Guess I’m done then, I hope this guide helps someone in some way And also to get the best out of their watch …
Thanks mate this was really nice of you, thumbs up

Alright, I got out of that issue, now its time to tell you how I did this.
Key:
- equals Start of Section
= Equals End of Section
-------------------------------------------- Fixing ADB Recognition (Optional But Vital) ------------------------------------------
First of all, follow my other thread on fixing bootloader being recognized as an android bootloader interface or do this
1. Do steps in this thread up to step 5,1
2. Delete the drivers for the child of Android Device by right clicking the device and press Uninstall Driver, then check the box Delete Driver for this Device. Don't worry, the drivers you installed will not go, it will just delete the watch from being recognized
3. Disconnect your watch then reconnect it
4. You're computer will not recognize this device and it will be placed under the category, in the device manager, as 'other Devices'
5.---- 'Copied from my other thread and changed'------
5,1. Right click on the children of the unknown device
5,2. Go to Drivers and press Update Driver
5,3. Press Browse my computer for driver
5,4. You will be prompted a directory, instead press the button below it called 'Let me pick from a list of Drivers installed on my computer'
6. Locate to ADB Devices or Similar
7. Select any one of the drivers listed inside there
8. Done.
=============================================================================================================
----------------------------------------------------- Installing System and Boot and Recovery (VERY IMPORTANT) -----------------------------------------------
This is where, if you do not change your TWRP to factory recovery, your watch will re boot into TWRP because it cannot mount /data. By flashing the factory Recovery, you will eliminate this and you will have a fresh start into the system.
Prerequisites ( If you Do not have it, which you should):
simple adb here
1. Get the system, boot and recovery from this thread by IntersectRaven
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/stock-boot-recovery-g-watch-r-t2956964
2. Once you have downloaded those, assuming you have done the optional procedure before this, boot/stay into fastboot
3. Place the files into the location where the simple adb is located
{{{ THIS IS THE PROCEDURE YOU SHOULD FOLLOW IN THE FOLLOWING STEPS BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I DID IT }}}
4. first check your device is seen in fastboot by typing
Code:
fastboot devices
5. once your device is seen, active and has a tag fastboot. follow on.
6. Flash the stock system first by using this code
Code:
fastboot flash system yoursystemfilename.img
replacing 'yoursystemfilename' only with the name inside the simple adb
7. Flash your boot by using this code
Code:
[CODE]fastboot flash boot boot.img
[/CODE] where 'boot' is a defined variable in your simple adb folder
8. lastly, flash the STOCK recovery by using this code
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where 'recovery' is a respectable variable in your simple adb folder
9. disconnect and start your system!

Well, deletes zenfit app, nothing more..
As I understand that's done by update-script, but what update-binary does?
Also in lazyflasher...zip there are two patches - disabling verity and disabling forced encryption. Is it mandatory to apply both? I don't think I need to disable encryption enforcement.
Thank you!
Prevent updates
Will leaving the bootloader unlocked prevent android wear 2.0 updates?

Why do we have to install twrp in order to flash/install these two zip files:
lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and ZenWatch-3_ZenFit_remover.zip
when we can simply install them using "adb sideload <filename.Zip" ?
Hopefully the adb sideload will flash/install the two files without twrp.
Also I wonder if installing TWRP recovery might prevent Android Wear 2.0 OTA update?
I am on Android Wear 1.5 and do not want to update or get any notifications to update.
Thanks, have a great day!

Foolproof method to install roms, twrp + root.
Read through the directions first before you start anything and your phone wont get bricked. Even if it does, you can use the msm tool guide that I linked below to restore it and get it prepped up for custom rom install again.
Pre-requisites:
1) Update to latest android 11 through software update.
2)Have oneplus drivers and adb/fastboot drivers installed

Guide for installing custom rom over android 11
-unlock bootloader and enable usb debugging then connect phone- use this video on how to unlock bootloader but dont follow his other steps yet
-open up cmd in minimal adb and fastboot folder and type in adb devices and make sure phone shows up
-in cmd, type in "adb reboot bootloader"
-in cmd, type in "fastboot devices" and make sure phone shows up
-in cmd, type in fastboot boot "name of your twrp file"
It should boot into twrp. at this point, you should have your rom zip file in the internal storage
-install the custom rom.zip. In my case, i installed havoc 4.8. After thats done, go back to wipe and format data. For extra measures, go to wipe and advanced wipe and wipe dalvik cache, data and vendor then reboot.
-to get root, set up the phone and enable usb debugging again. Transfer magisk v23.0 to download. adb reboot bootloader and go into recovery if your rom has one(havoc has its own) or fastboot into twrp again and install magisk. At this point, you can also install twrp if you want. Follow the guide above to install the unofficial twrp.

Hi all,
Haven't seen a guide for this and thought I would write one for myself and others
DISCLAIMER* I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed (like it did for me...).
* YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
* Your warranty will be void if you tamper with any part of your device / software.
You will also lose any L3 Widevine DRM Certification, aka no more HD netflix. Please keep this in mind.
REQUIREMENTS:
SDK Platform-tools (Get it here)
Getting boot.img
Download Lenovo Rescue and Smart assistant.
Link: https://support.lenovo.com/au/en/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa
You'll need a lenovo ID, Sign in or register an account
and once there go to "Rescue" > Tablet Rescue
Input your serial number > Make sure it finds the tablet > Click Start Rescue to download the firmware
The download is about 2.6GB
Navigate to
Code:
C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles\YT_J706F_S000049_211204_ROW
Which should have the firmware and boot.img
LET'S BEGIN!
Extract the SDK Platform tools folder to an easily accessible directory
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADERNOTE: THIS WILL ERASE ALL DATA FROM YOUR DEVICE SO MAKE SURE TO TAKE A BACKUP IF NECESSARY
Extract the SDK Platform tools folder to an easily accessible directory
Go to Settings > About Tablet > Tap build number 7 times. Go back to main page of Settings > System > Developer options and enable OEM unlocking and USB Debugging
Reboot the system to bootloader (Press Vol - and Power key or type "adb reboot bootloader" by opening a command prompt window in Platform tools directory)
To unlock bootloader run the command
Bash:
fastboot flashing unlock
The device will do a factory reset and restart itself
After Setting up your device install the magisk app from GitHub. I recommend Magisk-v24.3 as that's what worked for me.
Link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
ROOTING [MAGISK] - Using Fastboot
Transfer your boot.img to Internal Storage
You can use the command:
Bash:
adb push .\boot.img /storage/emulated/0/
After installing the magisk app Go to Install > Select and Patch a File
Select the boot.img you transferred to Internal Storage. Magisk will patch your boot.img and display the output folder after the process.
Transfer the Patched boot.img to your computer and rename it to boot_patched.img
Bash:
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Download/magisk_patched-[random_text].img
Reboot to Bootloader
Bash:
adb reboot bootloader
Flash the patched image
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_patched.img
You also need to flash vbmeta.img. This file is available in the firmware folder.
Bash:
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
Reboot the device by typing
Code:
fastboot reboot
Check Magisk manager and the device must be rooted now
TroubleshootingBoot loop after flashing magiskCould be a variety of things. Make sure that:
You've flashed vbmeta.img
You're using v24.3 of magisk
To get back to a working stage you can flash the stock boot.img and vbmeta.img. To enter fastboot mode just hold Vol - (Vol Down) + Power button forever until the fastboot mode text appears on the screen.
fastboot not detecting deviceYou'll have to install a driver manually from device manager.
Install a driver already on this computer
Select Android Phone
Select Google
Select Android ADB composite driver
After that fastboot could recognise my tablet
ThanksJohannj22 For the guide on another version of lenovo tablet which I followed https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...of-lenovo-yoga-smart-tab-and-root-it.4387131/
Ofc Magisk for the ability to root so easily.
One of my first posts, sorry if there's any mistakes and let me know if there's any. There wasn't a forum for the yoga tab 11 so I posted here. I've been looking for months on how to root and I'm glad I figured it out and this post is here for others.
After typing flashing unlock command it enters fasboot mode and nothing happens, Left it for a while and nothing changed.
If I remember correctly it printed something on the fast boot screen when it started and when it's done. Then I rebooted into android to verify that it was actually wiped.

Install OmniRom 12 / 13 on Asus Zenfone 8FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE WILL VOID YOUR PHONES WARRANTY, ERASE ALL YOUR DATA ON THE PHONE AND IN SOME RARE CASES POSSIBLY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
THE AUTHOR OF THIS GUIDE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES IF YOU USE THIS GUIDE. YOU DECIDED TO DO THIS AND YOU ARE FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS.
Prerequisites:Downloads:
- vendor_boot.img
- LOS_recovery.img => Recovery image
- Omnirom.zip
Place them all in the same folder on your computer
Install and setup ADB and Fastboot
How to install Omnirom
BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA ON THE PHONE, THEY WILL BE DELETED IN THE PROCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Update your phone to the same android version as the rom you want to install. And yes you have to install all updates until you reach the desired android version.
Install the Asus-Unlock-App from the asus website
Use the unlock app to unlock the device. Reboot. Your device will perform a factory reset,
Set up the phone, skip what you can and enable the developer options:
Settings => System => About Phone => Software-Version => Tap on Build-Nr. until the message "You are now a developer" appears.
Go to the developer options: Settings => System => Developer Options and enable "USB-Debugging".
Install ADB and Fastboot, for Windows install additionally the drivers from the asus website.
Plug your phone to your computer with the original cable. Accept USB-Debugging and allow it permanently.
Open a terminal/command window and navigate to the directory where your rom and LOS_recovery are stored. Type:
adb devices
It should show something like "ALOTOFCRYPTICSTUFF device", if that is the case type:
adb reboot bootloader
Once the phone is in Bootloader mode type:
fastboot devices
It should show something like "ALOTOFCRYPTICSTUFF fastboot", if your device shows up, type:
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
Wait until it is finished and then:
fastboot flash boot LOS_recovery.img
Wait until it is finished and then:
fastboot reboot recovery
Factory reset => Format data
Select apply update => ADB Sideload
On your computer (still in the directory with all the files) type the following:
adb devices
It should show something like "ALOTOFCRYPTICSTUFF sideload", if that is the case type:
adb sideload name-of-your-omnirom-image.zip
Wait until its finished, check the screen on the phone. If it says "Signature verification failed" on the phonde display just click yes.
On your computer it may get stuck at 47%, but it keeps on going, be patient and wait until it shows on the phone display that sideloading is finished.
When its finished you can go back to main screen and reboot your phone. Be patient, it will reboot once or twice and take some time. If it didn't boot your rom within a few minutes something in wrong.
If all went well, you will be presented with the start screen of your newly flashed rom.
If all goes perscheid: How to recover your phone:Prerequisites:You have to decide if you want go back to or restore Android 12, then take the image from download A, if you want to stay on or upgrade to Android 13 then download B.
Download:
A. A13 to A12 raw image from the asus site
B. A13 Beta raw image
Recover your device
Unpack the downloaded zip files and navigate your terminal/command window into the unpacked folder
If your phone bootloops or is stuck at the asus logo:
Press Volume down and power button until the screen gets black and then immediatly press volume up and power button until the you see the bootloader screen then release the buttons
Check if ADB can see the device by typing:
adb devices
It should show something like "ALOTOFCRYPTICSTUFF device", if that is the case go to the next step
In the folder from step 1:
On linux: sudo sh update_image.sh
On windows: commands-to-use-a-batch-file update_image.bat
and wait until the the script is finished and you have to press any key (only enter works)
Boot the stock rom, set up your phone and start again but you can skip step 2 & 3 (unlock the bootloader). Don't forget to enable USB-Debugging before you start to do anything.
