FAQ:

How to find the ota?

If you're rooted, wait for the device to prompt you to update, then check /cache for the file

If you're not rooted, wait until the same time and do an adb logcat and look for a line with .zip in it

Why isn't the latest ota listed?

We can only list what we have, if the ota from Build X to Build Y isn't listed, we dont have the file for it yet.

How do you setup adb/fastboot

Please read the stickies in the general subforum, this is not a formal guide

Do I need to unlock the bootloader to flash the update zip?

Yes, if you wish to do it manually.
If you allow android to prompt for the update, you do not need to unlock

Can I flash this if I have a custom rom?

No, you must be on a stock AND unmodified rom

Can I flash this if I'm rooted?

Only if you have not modified any files

Kernel source for kitkat-wear Lenok
[QUOTE="Bill Yi]
hi All,

Today, we pushed another kernel project for kitkat-wear release. The kernel source can be found on the android-msm-lenok-3.10-kitkat-wear branch in the kernel/msm project. It has the following tags:
android-4.4w_r7 Factory-ROM
android-4.4w_r8 Update #1

There will be an ota when the product launches.
When it finally ships, could someone hook it up to wireshark/etherial/fiddler/<preferred network sniffer> and grab the full url name along with the filename of it?

Also could someone not update theirs immediately and dump the rom when a custom recovery is eventually made for it?

Confirmed there is an ota out of the box, if you have not powered up your gwar yet, please find the ota url for it.

Reboot into fastboot mode (How do you do this for this device?)

Power off.
Start tapping the screen with two fingers (one on the top left and one on the bottom right part of the screen).
Press and hold the power button while tapping.
Stop immediately once you see the LG screen disappearing.
Congrats, you are in the bootloader.

Guys
It's link for 4.4.w1 to 4.4.w2 update:
/4beff7b6437440dceee842ca90bc23f51bb7b990.signed-lenok-KNX01R-from-KIW52H.4beff7b6.zip

Need devicename (red text at next example links) at google servers for full link.
For example, links for G Watch and Moto:
android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/lge_clockwork_gwatch_release_key/1ac2ab1e58461027cbfedc3a028744c276a8ecdb.signed-platina-KNX01Q-from-KMV78Y.1ac2ab1e.zip
android.clients.google.com/packages/data/ota/motorola_minnow_metallica/805b44ea505592a98573cf7a4aa9af24974b815d.signed-metallica-KNX01S-from-KGW42N.805b44ea.zip
So we must found name of G Watch R directory at google servers for make a full link.

I was going to try this to hopefully get the boot image but mine was already updated when it came on. :/

Connect PC, then open USB debugging and use adb command.

Code:

dumpsys dropbox --print | grep 'android.clients.google.com'

I forget to say that I made factory data reset from stock recovery after update and perhaps logs were deleted?

Oh, sadness.
Why nobody of the owners could not do it?! Rhetorical question of course. That's very easy

Was it because you were using TWRP, or because sideloading the update actually bricks the device?
