I changed my phone and I have on LG Urban 2 started the Wear Recovery procedure.
after restart, it will start only on TWRP. what can I do??

Thanks in advance

I would try flashing the boot image again, if it continuously boots into recovery then usually boot image is corrupted.

Did anybody tried this?

I still had no time to review the aw2.0 fw. but should be possible, to get this done too, or not?
anybody time to give it a try on our urbane?

I would 100% not recommend you do anything with partitions in Android unless you are an expert. Messing with partitions is an easy way to a hard brick. If you try it remember that you are doing so at very high risk to the device. If you wait I am putting the finishing touches on a guide for those who wish to modify the system image, you still won't be able to modify the system partition while it is mounted, but you can make any changes needed before re-flashing. I personally will not go the route of modifying wear partitions I know how to do it in standard android, but am not particularly found of doing it, especially in Android Wear of which I am still learning.

yes, you might be right about that. my experience with repartitioning is "mixed" as i can say.....?


will wait for your guide.

Will this work with watch sport as well?

Can we then maybe fix APN settings after its rooted?

Yes, I have successfully done so. There is a method of adding an APN that apparently makes it live alongside userdata. It survived the recent update to Aug 1st security patch, but was wiped when I had to unpair/reset the watch.

See my comment in this thread for details.

=======================

On another note, is there perhaps a zip out there that completely undoes everything that the systemless SuperSu zip does? I'm looking to get in, set the APN, and get out and end up having SafetyNet checks pass. Not to mention the fact that it makes me very uncomfortable to have unmanaged root privileges without the actual SuperSu app to keep things in check.

yes there is an un-root.zip you can use. try search in the forum, if you don't find it, i will upload it when i'm at home (since it is on my laptop)

I have adb debug on and fastboot oem unlock, but I cannot push the SuperSU.zip to my watch. It says 'error: closed'. What is the problem? Thank you for your reply in advance.

It may appear you have a buggy USB connection.

See example 1, 2 or 3.

Try using another USB port or hold the charger and watch so they can't disconnect.

    Steps
    Unlock bootloader
    Enable adb debugging via developer settings
    Push the SuperSU zip onto your watch:
    "adb push SuperSU.zip /sdcard/"
    "adb reboot bootloader"
    Flash or just boot custom recovery:
    fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1.0.img
    fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1.0.img
    Install SuperSU:
    In the bootloader menu, select "RECOVERY MODE"
    Press "Install", "Install Zip", SuperSU.zip, next, "Reboot after installation is complete", start.
    Now you should have root in android wear 2.0 final build number NXH20E
    All the files are not mine, i have just build the TWRP for our Smartwatch.

    SQUASHFS is read only by default.

    Ok,

    sorry wasn't on aw before. so sorry for my last question.


    Anyhow. Did somebody managed to get XPosed running?
    I've tried, but got an error of not enough place on /system. When i try to delete system apps, i get the same error.
    Now using supersu.

    before with magisk, got xposed and a few other packsages installed, but they never show up in magisk later

    You won't be able to do anything within the /system/ partition while it is mounted. I can't answer the question as to why specifically, because I am not as knowledgeable of it, but here is the wiki SQUASHFS info. and another one that gives more information as to the uses SQUASHFS HOWTO.. If I am correct in order to make any changes to the system one would have to have a backup or original system image unsquash the image make any changes from that then re-squash the image and flash it in custom recovery. I have already unsquashed the image of the original image from the newest update myself and have it on my laptop, but I have not been able to go much further (busy). There are workarounds to the system not being able to write, but those are mostly for other versions of the filesystem and on different devices along with it not being totally writable.
