[Emergency Guide] How to Blank or regenerate Watch (WA 5.01) after clearing \system

Prerequisit :
Be sure to have latest adb (1.0.32) and fastboot version. Download it from here
Link to know how to enter into fastboot

Under Fastboot
Download boot from here

- fastboot flash boot bootll.img

Download TWRP recovery from here

- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Go to Recovery and format all twice with TWRP recovery

Flashing back stock recovery :
Download stock recovery from here

- fastboot flash recovery recoverll.img

Back to stock recovery, format twice

Regenereting system step :
Download rooted AW 5.01 system directory from here

- fastboot flash system system.img

Go back to stock recovery, Choose apply update from ADB (adb sideload)
Download AW 5.01 update from here

- adb sideload 149e0c34d0ab10d3e356d6301915dcc04552d9db.signed-lenok-LWX48P-from-KNX01R.149e0c34.zip

Reboot system now. Choose langage, etc.

Nota : At this time, if you don't need root and Chainfire SU (witch is useless at this time) you can go just for flashing TWRP by :

- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

And that's it.

Or following steps : Rooting back Watch and custom TWRP Recovery support
Download stock rooted AW 5.01 system directory from here

- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash system system.img

Reboot Watch, autorize adb debug on the watch
Download Chainfire SU 2.40 from here or BETA-SuperSU-v2.42.zip
Note : You can remove Superuser.apk from the zip file into \common recovery which it is not compatible with AW 5.01
Pushing SU to the watch

- adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/su.zip

Back to Fastmod and flashing TWRP advanced recovery

- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Restart watch and go to TWRP recovery, install/flash su.zip from sdcard, reboot

Et Voilà !

Nice write up, I'm not sure doing the adb sideload does anything though. The system image is already patched, it was a backup from my device just rooted. Currently I have busybox working on the device and and working on init.d support so any changes we want to make will survive after reboot.

HELP

I've done everything to try to get back to AW 5.01 but when I get to the adb sidelload part it says "error: device not found".

It's seem that windows 8 is not detecting my watch. Anyone have any insight on this would be great thanks!

Never Mind Got it to Work!

How did you get it to work?

I managed it, too. Turns out I had to reinstall drivers while in sideload mode. You can do it in device manager, select from computer, from list and find ADB composite device.

Hey guys, I accidentaly installed supersu apk on my watch and now I can see it in the menu all the time. How can I remove it from /system/app/SuperSu? Do I have to root first in order to gain rw rights on /system, remove whole SuperSu folder than do a factory reset for example and it won't show up anymore?
