Hello everyone,
Some Italian guys asked me for this guide because they did not find anything complete and detailed. Thanks to the XDA members' publications I could put together the pieces and write it down. I apologize for my English but I'm not very good, especially for technical terms. I hope I can help someone.


BACK TO ANDROID WEAR 1.5 FROM 2.0(COMPLETE GUIDE)

1. Download the software ADB installer 1.4.3 from this link compatible with Windows 10: http://uploadboy.com/tsp1bpbe9gtj/1082/zip
From here you can download an older version 1.3 for Windows 7: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
2. Open the .exe file already downloaded with administrator privileges and follow the installation procedure to install the drivers
3. Download the three image files of the build "M1D65H" (boot, recovery, system) that you find here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/fastboot-zip-factory-images-t3405311
4. Insert the files into the folder that created the ADB Installer that is normally the path "c:\adb"
5. Download tool "WinDroid Toolkit" from here (some antivirus swapping it for threat and eliminating it, in this case turn it off momentarily) :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=17244
6. Start with administrator privileges "WinDroid Toolkit"
7. Follow the instructions for installing the drivers required by the tool and select the model of the clock
8. Activate developer options on the clock: (Settings> System) by clicking "build number" repeatedly until unlocking the menu that will be among the main options
9. In the developer options menu, activate the "debug ADB"
10. Turn off the clock
11. With the clock off, hold down the physical key and in the meantime repeatedly tap your finger on the screen from minute 55 to 25 until the watch has entered the mode fastboot
12. Connect the clock to PC usb port via cable and charging base
13. Now "WinDroid Tool" should recognize the clock and below you will see that the "Offline" script becomes "Fatboot"
14. Click on "Unlock Bootloader" and proceed by accepting the various message from the tool
15. A confirmation message appears on the clock display, click on the right arrow and then on the central button to continue
Now the bootloader of the clock is unlocked and we can continue to install the three previously downloaded files. Close "Windroid Tool"
16. In the "adb" folder at the "c:\adb" path, click on a drop-down menu at any point in the chain and right-click and shift at the same time. Click on "Open command window here"
17. In the newly opened window, give the following commands one at a time and wait for each one to complete the operation:
1) fastboot -w
2) fastboot flash boot M1D65H_boot.img
3) fastboot flash recovery M1D65H_recovery.img
4) fastboot flash system M1D65H_system.img
Finally, to restart the clock, use the following command:
5) fastboot reboot
N.B. Before pairing the watch on the cellphone again remove the link, inside the Android wear app, clock and uninstall and reinstall the app.
Finished!

ELIMINATE THE PERSISTENT UPDATE NOTIFICATION

1. Download the .zip file containing the custom recovery and root to this address:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/qllnc7...+R+Utility.zip
2. Unzip the .zip file and insert the "twrp-3.0.0-0-lenok+squashfs.img" file into the "c:\adb" folder
3. In the Clock Developer Options menu, activate the "Debug ADB" (to enable them to follow the procedure above)
4. Connect the clock to the pc via the cable and charging base
5. Open "WinDroid Tool", go to the "Commands" tab and click on "push file". Select the file "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip", wait for the procedure to complete and disconnect the clock from the PC.
6. Turn off the clock
7. With the clock off, hold down the physical key and in the meantime crawl your finger repeatedly on the screen from minute 55 to minute 25 until the clock has entered fastboot mode
8. Connect the clock to the pc
9. In the "adb" folder at the "c: \ adb" path, click on a drop-down menu at any point in the chain and right-click and shift at the same time. Click on "Open command window here"
10. In the window just open, give the following command and wait for the completion:
-) fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-lenok+squashfs.img
11. From the clock using the arrows and the confirmation button down to start the "recovery mode"
12. Accept the warning message and after selecting the language click on "install" and select, with the touchscreen, the .zip file "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip", wait for the procedure to complete.
13. Restart the system and wait for the clock to turn on.
14. In the previously opened command window, give the following commands one at a time and wait for them to complete and complete:
1) adb shell
2) su
3) pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService
4) pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService
Finished!

Many thanks riccardo423

I have managed to rollback my lg g watch r to android wear 1.5 AND suppress those pesky update notifications using your guide. I noticed your mediafire link to the custom recovery file is broken. There is an alternative download at http://www.mediafire.com/file/qllnc77jtdqxtdl/Lg+Watch+R+Utility.zip (posted by Dettofatto in a previous xda thread) which also contains the two additional required files.

After downgrade from 2.0 to 1.5, I don't received Facebook messenger notifications on watch. Other notifications work fine (Gmail, sms etc). Anyone know what's going on?

Hi I have never had this problem I think I can depend on your Facebook app. Which version of Facebook and which cell phone?

Thanks for this Riccardo ( or grazie, from a fellow italian :) )!
Can't believe I managed to do the entire procedure without making a mess of it, lol. Everything appears to be working again, I'm so happy! Really hated AW 2.0. Hope the notification does not come back, I'll keep an eye out for it in the coming days.

Noob question: why the "M1D65H" versión? Is the last with AW 1.5? The NXG47C version is for 2.0?

Yes, it's the last AW1.5 version. However, perhaps it was due to something I didn't made correctly during the downgrade but this M1D65H version had not a good battery performance on my watch (battery was drained in less than 40 hours).
It's why I have used the M1D64Y version which is perfect in terme of battery performance (>48 hours) and applications responsiveness.

Nothing specific, just installed the basic factory image + root . I have installed about 16 apps (including Watchmaker with a quite "sophisticated" watchface, wear messenger, WearMail, Wear Battery stats, Feel the Wear, Runtastic, ...) but mainly I have deactivated Google Fit which is a true battery killer app on both the Smartwatch and the Smartphone!.

    Same issue, "charge watch to install update" notification is back. Disabling update services doesn't help. "update.zip" file is still in /cache/, and cannot be touched, even under SU.

    Not sure what else to try.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Weird, I had no such file there, besides my own 1 byte update.zip

    edit:
    disabled com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService and it might have solved the issue.... at least the notification disappeared immediately.

    I noticed it calling an update in logcat:
    08-11 19:19:49.031 1287 1593 I SystemUpdate: [Execution,InstallationEventIntentOperation] Received intent (Intent { act=com.google.android.gms.update.INSTALLATION_EVENT cat=[targeted_intent_op_prefix:.update.execution.InstallationEventIntentOperation] cmp=com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService (has extras) }) with event 200.

    now restarting and hoping for no update...

    edit 2: no update notification yet, ad it should have already appeared. Though I have no idea what else I might have broken in the process. We'll see

    command to run is:
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.chimera.GmsIntentOperationService
    (absolutely no warranties it works for you and/or doesn't break things. It might burn your house down, raise zombies, start voting for Trump Jr, etc...)

    +1, update notification came for my watch too. Dam you, Google!

    the commands
    pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService
    pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService
    are no longer enough unfortunately.

    Weird thing is that I can't remember when I updated Google services last time. Definitely at least weeks ago.

    ...Just what I needed, a potentilly unusable watch right before a long holiday. Google has the best presents....

    Seriously, I'd love it if google just wouldn't mess with it for 5-10 years?
    (I looked at installing custom ROMs, the one I found basically started with "install linux". Sorry, can't and won't.)

    edit: tried
    cd /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_download/
    echo "" > update.zip
    chattr +i update.zip

    but still no cookie.

    edit 2: tried the shotgun approach:
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$ActiveReceiver
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gms/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateActivity
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdatePanoActivity
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$Receiver
    adb shell su -c pm disable com.google.android.gsf/.update.SystemUpdateService$SecretCodeReceiver

    aaand while these helped in the past, they don't help now.

    Edit 3: tried grepping the full file list for update.zip. *.zip, *.img, not one hit besides those I put there or the immutable update.zip.
