hi,
i am new in these forums,
i searched over the web and also tried many root methods, but none worked.
root method for NXH19X is not working for me i tried multiple times.

the main error i am getting is "unable to mount /system; no such thing found" in TWRP
i also tried multiple Supersu files official ones and unofficial ones as well.

after some research i found out about new file system squashfs FS
then i tried this rom which supports EXT4 File System
here is link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/rom-ext4all-g-watch-r-skin1980-t3589917
but it didnot work out as well,(get boot looped)

so flashed stock rom and now on latest update as told earlier,
so its my request, i need help. if someone please come up with any working method to root latest stock rom and security patches(build number and security patch in title)

why stock rom?
i personally like stock rom and it is working fine for me.

why root?
i have root on my phone (one plus one), i felt like i am unable to use my watch on full potential without root.
and we all like root that's why we are here right ;)

thank you
(i actually don't know the how to write any threads so bear with me please) :fingers-crossed:

This post of mine will work. Tried on many roms and it works.

Some play store apps says i dont have root but I do as the app i use that needs root works : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skin1980.buttonremap

So use this procedure :

https://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch-r/development/nxh19x-boot-img-rooted-t3651039

The problem is that u need a TWRP for squash images which you can find in the mentioned post
hi
i tried your given method,
twrp seems to work fine first time,
but i lost twrp as soon as i boot into system,
some how system replace recovery with default one each time watch booted into android itself,
however i am able to boot into recovery, when tried directly from fast-boot after flashing it,
but still unable to obtain root,
the zip files seems to flash perfectly, but there is no su in app drawer,

thanks for your support, but i think new version makes it harder to gain root,
and i am fine without root i can live without it.

thanks again.

There is no SuperUser for android wear watches. It will automatically allow root access for all apps that request it...
