KMV78V is rolling out for the G watch and Gear live.

If you have one, please check either the logcat of either the phone it's paired to, or the watch itself for the filename.

If anyone is on KMV78N or KMV78V and gets an ota, please check your logcat for the ota filename, we have KKV81 -> KMV78X so far

FYI retail Gear Live devices from the Play Store seem to ship with KKV81, which is an older, pre-release build, even though it has a. It doesn't even function the same way as the current KMV78X build.

Can't get the gear to recognize in recovery for the ADB sideload tried on both Windows and Mac. Works for Adb when the device is on and fastboot commands just drops out when going into recovery....

assuming you're in windows: are you sure the driver is installed when in adb sideload mode? Windows considers it a different device from normal adb

Is there a special driver I have the SDK and the google driver. The PC doesn't even detect it as soon as I enter recovery and doesn't change when I select adb sideloaf

I had the same problem I actually ended up installing twrp and pushing the update to my watch and installing it through there. The odd pay is it had no problem with fastboot or adb in any other part of the phone only if I selected install from adb it wouldn't even show up in device manager. I even tried to do the same thing in twrp adb works in regular recovery but as soon as I chose adb sideload under Advanced my computer stops seeing it.

    Hey, I had the same exact problem in summer, when it went on sale. There wasn't a full firmware image at that moment. Though the community would evolve, but this community is pretty dead. I tried to fix my Gear with a lot of different methods, but no one worked. There's a full firmware image from Adam Outler's that you may try flashing, but didn't worked for me. If I were you, I'd go to a Samsung Tech/Customer Support store. (I don't know if they exist in Germany, but they do here in Spain) I went to one with the watch, and told them I did a factory reset and that the watch never booted again. They took my watch and in ten minutes they fixed it. (Flashed a system image that appearently only they own). I guess that Samsung hasn't released it for some reason, but that's the way it is...

    I hope I am able to Help you :)

    KMV78Y → KNX01Q
    KGW42N → KNX01Q

    These should be all the otas to KNX01Q, I'm still missing a dump of KMV78V.
    If you have a dump, or a device that still has it installed: let me know.
