This is a rooted boot image for the moto360. It was made by jcase using a dumped image from my device. It has worked fine to root my device, but nobody is responsible if it breaks your device or anything else. Use it at your own risk!
I'm not completely sure about how it works, but it seems to install the su binary to the system partition, and a few other things, so the root is permanent until you remove it somehow.
I booted this image while my watch was in the KGW42N release, rebooted normally and, after a few hours, I received the update to the latest release normally and maintained root. Your experience may vary.
As far as I know, it will also root the newer releases.
This can be flashed from fastboot.
- turn off the watch
- press and hold the power button until you feel the third vibration, display will show "Bootloader version..."
- connect the jig to your watch and secure it so it will not move accidentally.
- connect the USB cable to your computer. Displaty will show "Transfer mode: USB Connected..."
- Launch a terminal session in your computer and issue the commands:
** It's not fastboot flash boot boot.img ** it only needs to be booted, not flashed.
When your device has finished rebooting, you can enter an ADB shell session and type "su", it should show "[email protected]" in the prompt.
If you find something interesting about the workings of this method, please share!
Big thank you to jcase and beaups, it wouldn't have been possible without their help! Visit http://theroot.ninja/
Enjoy.

Please, don't ask about the jig/cable in this thread, I'll make some instructions soon.
