Hi All,
i have been trying to root mine for a while and found the answers to all the questions are all over the place so i thought i would put them into one place for the less experienced people such as my self. All info is valid as of todays date that i am aware of (10/4/2012)
1. Is the tablet rootable?
The sony tablet S is rootable if your build is below #10. AKA kernel 10 issue
2. Can you change back your kernel/build once on #10 to get root
No, although there are some reports of random build/kernel changes after a reboot. if you notice this i suggest rooting WITHOUT rebooting.
3. Will a factory or any other "reset" turn back my kernel/build to below #10
No, see number 2
4. Are there dates for when a workaround on build/kernel #10 will be available.
No, bare in mind the guys here at XDA dont get anything but donations and do the work FREE and in their OWN time. I would love to make someone just as much as the next guy, but they have jobs. so unless you are going to pay their bills and wages for a while, best to let them do it in their own time.
5. is there a more "for dummies" type tutorial on how to use Condi's AIO tool
Not that i have seen, and to be honest i think we could use one. but do note i am sure Condi has mentioned before his tool is designed to be used by experienced users. Condi may be able to confirm this if he reads my thread. please dont go hassling his if he doesnt.
6. When is ICS coming out.
Pick a date in your calendar and check back then. no one has any dates yet that i am aware of and i have googled my backside off trying to find it. Note though, there was some sort of release although the file wasnt there for ICS in the mexico region. read into that what you will.
7. Can you Root the Tablet from an application on the Tablet (like Gingerbreak for Xperia play) if you don't have access to a Computer.
For the time being NO. Thanks to lloytizzle for that one.
8. Will the new version of the AIO tool (2.6) from Condi root my kernel #10 tablet .
No.
No need to post replies here unless you are confirming or correcting my current finds.
The intention of this post is to save you some time reading through mass amounts of posts and google searches to find nothing YET is possible to deal with the #10 issue.
i will update this post if i find anything and will of course take note of any updates from people such as condi etc.
Q: Can you Root the Tablet from an application on the Tablet (like Gingerbreak for Xperia play) if you don't have access to a Computer.
A: For the time being NO.

Not for the moment - NO...
JAVA
Hi!
My Question regards to the rooting process point 7 which is:
Choose YES for sign new custom update
"JAVA required - if you dont have, then install it, and manually run 'Sign' function)"
What does it mean "JAVA required", is it this: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
And what does it mean "manually run 'Sign' function" and what will happen if I just restart the rooting process after I have installed JAVA instead of manually run sign function?
Thank you for your answer!
I was on Android 3.2 With Kernel #10 on my Tablet S and was able to flash back to Kernel #5 with OTA via recovery, root with AIO, and install prerooted ICS.

Correction. You were 3.2 k10 and flashed 3.2.1k5 from my thread. That is a upgrade not flashing back

Hey Stifilz,
I'm a noob when it comes to kernels and flashing stuff, so can you please tell me if this is correct ?
I'm also on 3.2k10, so if I upgrade to 3.2.1k5 , I will regain the possibility to root the tablet with AiO ?
Many thanks in advance for sorting things out.

You download the zip of the OTA you want to flash on to an SD card, then you reboot your tablet holding down the Vol - Up key to enter recovery. Then you choose to update from Zip on SD card and flash it.
You just need to make sure the OTA you're flashing is not Kernel 10.

Anything later than 3.2.1 kernel 9, i.e 3.2.1 kernel10 and any ICS have been patched (fixed by Sony) so that we CAN NOT use that exploit to gain Root access. We have been waiting for a new patch for atleast 4 months and TBH it is not looking good.

Correct OTA to flash?
Hey Guy's,
Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated !!
Could you please tell me how I can see what kernel build these posted OTA's have ?
Or can you please point me to the correct OTA to flash my tablet with so it does become an 3.2.1 no build 10?
My tablet version is a SGPT114FR/S FR5 16GB + 3G
If I"m correct , this should be the correct procedure to go to rooted ICS in my case :
- go from 3.2k10 to 3.2.1k(no10) like Sentinel169 mentioned above
- Install ADB drivers
- Root with AiO tool
- Create Rooted ICS with AiO , then flash to tablet (video made by BlueChipJ)
The only thing I haven't figured out yet is when in this procedure needs 'rescue backdoor' to be installed? Or gets it automaticly installed when the rooted ICS is created ?
Again thank you all for the help.
Grtzzz..

No idea what kernel it is lol. Try your luck. It is the only one available now. They get replaced on the server.
Either way it is your best shot.

Hi guys, as you can (or cannot) see, I'm a new guy here. Not just here at xda, but I'm pretty much a newbie to android as well. I've gotten a S2 last summer from a friend in Asia to replace my ancient Nokia and it was rooted when I got it through snail mail. I've just rolled with it until now when I realized that the phone could probably do better if I did some upgrading and tweaking here and there after seeing articles about Cyanogenmod and other stuff that came from rooting the phone. From there comes my problem, I'm totally clueless about android. I only know that my phone is rooted since it has superuser, but I have no idea what kind of kernel/ROM it has on it and how I can go about improving it. I'm still stuck on version 2.3.3 because I have no idea on how to upgrade and didn't want to carelessly fiddle with it and break it. So I'm hoping you guys could give me some pointers on what I have as of right now, and what to do in regards to getting things up to date.
The specs (?) of my phone are:
Model: GT-I9100
Android version: 2.3.3
Baseband ver: I9100XXKE4
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: QUENS.ROOT.FIT.ZSKE7
I don't think my phone is attached to any carrier either, if that's normal for the international version.
PS: I apologize if my question and crappy explanation angers some fine and outstanding gentlemen here, but I'm afraid I cannot help that because of my utter confusion and cluelessness.
AW: [Q] Confusion about rooted GT-I9100
So the first question you have to ask yourself is: Do you want to stay on stock (but rooted) or do you want an custom rom.
You can try to connect you phone per USB to your computer, then run Kies there and look if it shows you an available update. If the phone is from china you can have the Sammy JellyBean 4.1.2 update. If Kies does not show you an available update then the reason is your rooted stockrom. You have then to "call" (It doesn't call anybody but you have to enter it in the Phone app) #*1234#, minimize Superuser or SuperSU and look in the window wich appeared for your CSC. In my case there is written "i9100DBTLS7" the important thing is the DBT wich is my region Code. So if you find this code go to: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/ and search there for your region code in the country option. Download one of the Roms and flash it with Odin (there are some Guides online. READ THEM CAREFULLY!!!) So then you should have an completly stock rom on your phone. Connect it to Kies again to see if a newer Rom is available and update if there is one. To root it simply follow this Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
So this is the way to get the newest available stock rom for your phone. If you want to go custom now you can use the guides written by the Developers of the Rom you are looking for.
I hope thats what you were looking for.

Very usefull and detailed information:thumbup: I only want to add that OP needs to do some serious research to learn more about flashing, rooting, firmware differences and stuff, before he/she tries something
I second Donnie Sins. Watch a few videos to get an idea and DO NOT FLASH ANY ROM/KERNEL/FIRMWARE/PIT FILE THAT IS NOT MEANT FOR I9100 MODEL! You have to be very careful with that. Also learn how to make backups like for EFS folder and nandroid backup. Make a nandroid backup always before flashing anything so that if things go wrong, you can get back to from where you started!
Like you, I too was once confused and overwhelmed by the world of Android.. But after a lot of reading over here at xda, finally got the hang of some important stuff related to rooting and flashing, and most importantly my phone!
For newbies like yourself, this is a good thread to get you started:

Hi. Thanks for the help (Which extends to everyone else as well). I checked through Kies and my phone can't update through that. So then I went on to check the CWC by calling the *#1234# number and it showed me that my CWC is I9100OZSKE7. I proceeded to look it up on the site that you posted and found that it was a Taiwan/Hong Kong region (OZS). So now I'm wondering if I should just choose the 4.1.2 version and flash it? And if I do choose to flash it, is there any other alternative than using Odin? Because I saw that Odin has a chance of bricking the phone.
I also have another question regarding to superuser. My superuser binary seems to be very out of date, and whenever I try to update it, it fails at downloading a new binary.
I have the 2.3.1-ef version installed and the latest as superuser tells me is 3.1.1.
Finally, what is CWM? I have ROM Manager installed on my phone and it seems to be related to CWM.
@shahrozeumar: What is nandroid and efs backup?
PS: Sorry if I look like I'm jumping all over the place with my questions. Right now my top priority is to sort everything out on my phone and get a good understanding of it.

There's no way anyone is gonna get upset over this.
They all are gonna recommend you to explore the I9100's forum for scaling the need-to-know baseline. So will I.

you should go for the custom ROMs, preferably 4.0.3 ICS or 4.1.2 JB, you can find already rooted ROMs out there very easily.-
Hey guys. Thanks to the help of everyone who posted in this thread and some major reading, I've managed to update to 4.1.2, root it, and gain a grasp of the basics. I also tried to install CWM after installing 4.1.2, but it just caused a bootloop. Thankfully I made a backup so I just had to restore back to when I started and repeated the process again.
So here's the thing. Why can't I install CWM without it causing me to go into a boot loop? I looked around and it seems that nobody's had this problem.
Also, I'm not quite satisfied by the current stock rom. While it does run smoother and faster than 2.3.3, I find myself unaccustomed to the new setup and somewhat disappointed at the lack of any major improvements other than the aforementioned smoothness and speed. Widgetlocker doesn't let me use my lock anymore, and I can't seem to get the phone to connect with mass storage mode automatically. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should flash to that offers customization and function? As it stands right now, I can't install CWM on my phone and it seems to impede me from creating a fallback and from flashing to any custom roms.
Are you sure you're flashing the latest cmw?
You didn't notice major improvements? Comparing to what? GB?
Did you flash philz kernel after you flashed JB?
Keep trying, you're on the fastlane.

I didn't notice a lot that was different from GB aside from the faster battery drain and new UI.
Anywho, I've flashed to philz kernel. Now I have another problem. Google Play keeps crashing automatically for some reason before I flashed to the philz kernel, but now after I flashed to the new kernel, Google Play crashes when I try to update superSU. The new philz kernel won't back up either because of an error in the booting image.
Just to clarify what I did. I rooted my phone using the method mentioned here using Root_SuperSU.0.96.Only-signed and then flashed to philz kernel with the instructions form this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270 and used this package PhilZ-cwm6-XXLS8-FOP-4.01-signed since my kernel code seems to be XXLS8.
EDIT: And after all that, I seem to have gotten myself into a bootloop again after using the recovery.
You really need to reflash > factory reset > flash philz.

1. Yes you can flash the latest 4.1.2 when it is available for your region.
2. There is is nother option to flash these files than with Odin. But I can tell you if you do everything right don't uplug the cable and don't shut off your PC while flashing you should be fine.

Thanks a lot guys. I've finally got a hang of this. Moved on to trying cyanogenmod, it's great, but kinda buggy on a few places. So yeah.
Again, thanks a lot.
I need a couple of testers for a Senseless (both meanings of the word) ROM that I'm putting together. It is nothing too special, but with your help it might be decent. It is not Android 4.0+, but merely Honeycomb.
I'll take the first two people to reply to this post. I'll get them a testable ROM in the near future and they can have at it.
Maybe we can breath some much needed life into this forgotten tablet!
WiFi Error
I have tested your ROM and I think it's very well done! I only have one problem however. After following the Aroma install (I selected to replace the kernel so WiFi would work) my WiFi reports an error and will not connect to anything. I tried reloading the ROM several times and still no joy. I don't see anyone else having an issue with this so I'm wondering what I missed. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Your ROM was my first install from the stock OS that comes from HTC.
Thanks in advance

I forgot to mention that I also tried installing the DoomLord Kernel WiFi Module.zip to fix and it didn't help.
In order for Hive to work you should have Hive kernel installed -- either via Hive installer or fastboot. Hive also requires the WiFi modules that it installs because only they pair with Hive kernel -- and not any other kernel.
The installer asks you if you want to install the kernel and I've never heard of this failing. Are you sure that you selected this option? For 99% of people just pressing [Next] for every question in the installer is the best option.
After the install your Settings->About->Software information->More should look like the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I suggest that you install again and verify as per above. If the kernel did not flash then you'll be the first second to report this. I don't know why some users encounter problems, but there is a manual method to install the kernel (the hive_x.zip /boot.img file) which you can perform.
To manually install the kernel take the following link to a tutorial on How to flash a new boot.img via Fastboot.

I think you nailed the problem right on the head with the Kernel on my tablet being incorrect. My tablet reports:
Kernel Version
2.6.35.10-g01487c4

Baseband Version

Build Number (same as yours)
I did exactly as you prescribed by basically hitting next for all of the options in Aroma and had the same result. I'm somewhat familiar with Fastboot so all I would need is the Kernel.img to flash and I should be good to go right? Maybe the modem.zip also since they have to be mated and it may be that this file isn't flashing as well?
Thanks for your help with this

You are the first to report this, so I'll have to look into why. Both of my tablets are from Rogers. Is yours from AT&T? For now we'll have to rely to fastboot to address your problem.

You will just need the boot.img that is in the / directory of the Hive archive (hive_x.zip). Once you boot the tablet to Fastboot then you just need to fastboot flash boot boot.img.
I don't think you'll have to do anything with the radio since I've never heard of a radio image for the Jetstream before.
Let me know how it goes.
Kernel Issue Fixed
Just wanted to send an update. Your hunch about the Kernel being the problem was spot on. For some reason the Kernel wasn't flashing with the use of Aroma but when I went into ADB it flashed just fine and now WiFi works!
I do have an AT&T Jetstream. I'm not sure why that would be the cause but maybe you're onto something about the baseband being different that may be the cause. Either way I'm up and running now!
Thank you SO SO MUCH for the help with this! Although there aren't many of us left with a Jetstream I share your thoughts about the tablet still having a good value. I hope that someone will be able to help us up the OS to Jellybean or KK someday.
Take Care!

You can also try Hive II beta -- since it has an updated installer. I doubt that it fixes your kernel flashing issues, but it is possible. I wasn't going to release a beta, but with your situation it makes sense.
Even though you have solved the kernel problem you may still want to try this.

I need a couple of testers for a Senseless (both meanings of the word) ROM that I'm putting together. It is nothing too special, but with your help it might be decent. It is not Android 4.0+, but merely Honeycomb.
I'll take the first two people to reply to this post. I'll get them a testable ROM in the near future and they can have at it.
Maybe we can breath some much needed life into this forgotten tablet!

I am hoping to give this a try myself. I have my jetstream that I haven't really turned on for some time but will give this a shot and see how it goes. Keep at it boss! I do have it rooted. Im also gonna keep the issues in mind with WiFi. I'll update you shortly.

In order for Hive to work you should have Hive kernel installed -- either via Hive installer or fastboot. Hive also requires the WiFi modules that it installs because only they pair with Hive kernel -- and not any other kernel.
The installer asks you if you want to install the kernel and I've never heard of this failing. Are you sure that you selected this option? For 99% of people just pressing [Next] for every question in the installer is the best option.
After the install your Settings->About->Software information->More should look like the following:
I suggest that you install again and verify as per above. If the kernel did not flash then you'll be the first second to report this. I don't know why some users encounter problems, but there is a manual method to install the kernel (the hive_x.zip /boot.img file) which you can perform.
To manually install the kernel take the following link to a tutorial on How to flash a new boot.img via Fastboot.

Just installed Hive III today (thanks!!!) and even though the aroma install proceeded seemingly without error, it did not flash the kernel.
I've done it manually and everything is now looking good, including WiFi.
This is an AT&T model.

I have no idea why some Jetstreams reject the AROMA kernel install and others do not. It has always worked on my devices.
I'm glad that you got it working via fastboot.

Long time no see, how are you?
Sorry didn't managed to catch up again, too little time back home, busy.....
Anyway, @onejay09's open source could shed some light for this Jetstream poor baby, unfortunately I don't know any of it, most hardcore keyword that could leapfrog us are some complex ION thingy worked and forego the something about old_panel_driver from/off something about msm_fb. Hope this helps. Good luck !!!

I will have a look at that source. However, I think that cobbling something together would be a huge undertaking without a working reference Android 4.x+ ROM. Beginning and ending its life in Honeycomb means that Jetstream ROM source was never open.
Being back home must be great, glad to hear.
Thanks for responding, while reading through 109 pages onejay09 said the chipset is 7x3 and not real 8x3 or something. Page 59, in short it's so old. Could this be one of the same obstacles for Jetstream? I don't know. Well, good luck to us all.
This ROOT method is for INDIAN or GLOBAL version ONLY. If you want to try it on any other version try it at your OWN RISK. most of the Mi3 ROMs are GLOBAL version. but CHINESE and TD version are different. so don't try to root those two version with this method.
Check the version of your ROM and download the rooting file accordingly.
ROOTING MI3 ON MIUI v6.3.9.0(more detailed and neat text will follow as soon as i get some time. this is just rough draft)
i searched a lot and found out that there were so many users who were facing bootloop issue on most of the rooting mehtods. this is by far the best method (or file) that i fiud and i have tested it two times and i haven't faced any issue at all.
steps from 1 to 4 are exactly same like on MIUI v5. just apply "update.zip" from settings-update menu (see the remaining post for more detailed instructions with pics)
after that you need to reboot
and then reboot again but in recovery. flash super su zip.
after that you need to download and install super su from play store. or just install it from the super su zip by opening it and locating supersu apk.
video is being uploaded as we speak. it will take some time for the video to upload as my internet connection is slow and video size is almost 1gb.
i am uploading "update.zip" and sharing link to super su zip right now.
update.zip is in the attchments below and and you can also download it from google drive from HERE(Having issue while uploading on xda. Will try again later. Download from google drive for now. )
download super su zip from HERE

IMPORTANT NOTES (MUST READ)
NOTE 1: Rooting and unrooting doesn't result in loss of any data. I have rooted and unrooted version 18 and then again rooted version 23 without any data loss. However always make a backup of your important data before doing any such stuff. Just to be on safer side.
NOTE 2: for some people rooting breaks OTA UPDATES but for some it doesn't. To update your phone you can simply unroot it and update it and root it again. Doesn't take much time to unroot.
NOTE 3 : developer ROM is not available for all countries. That's why this method is used for for rooting.
NOTE 4 : This method only roots your device. It doesn't flash any custom recovery.
NOTE 5 : About warranty. Like i said developer version doesn't void warranty but rooting does. Not all Mi4 version have developer version ROM. AFAIK only two version of MI3 has developer ROM. Global version has no developer ROM.
NOTE 6 : if unrooting will get you your warranty back? All depends on how much the xiaomi will dig into your phone to avoid giving you warranty. Even the files you delete are not always deleted from your phone. Its pretty easy to get most of them back or know what you had stored on your device. Lot of stuff like that. But i am pretty sure XIAOMI won't go james bond over your device to keep you from claiming warranty. Lot of people even with rooted and custom ROM claim warranty. You just need to be smart enough to know how.

SOURCE
This source is for Philippines Forums but as WCDMA Philippines, WCDMA India, WCDMA HK, WCDMA Taiwan, WCDMA Singapore and WCDMA Malaysia uses same ROM version and have same BUILD NUMBER. it works on Indian and other same builds. personally tested these files on my INDIAN MI3 for v15, v18 and v23, rooting and unrooting. To check for yourself you can visit the official MIUI website here (http://en.miui.com/download-101.html#166) and see for yourself.
once again rooting procedure is not my work. just hsaring what is available on public domain. rooting of MI3 on MIUI v6.3.9.0 source can be found here
ALSO this is not my work. This is the simplest method that i have found so far to ROOT Mi3. I tried to search it here on XDA forums, didn't found it. So i shared it. If anyone has any objection or i am breaking any RULES do let me know so i can act accordingly. :good:
thanks a lot.. was waiting for this..

Wow why make simple complicated??? Just go to miui website and download developer ROM. There's even instructions on there to tell you how to install. Once done, you're rooted.and ROM gets updated every 2 weeks or so.

Developer ROM version is not available for all countries. Its only available for one or two versions. All other countries have no developer version. Will have to check to make sure but i think global version has no developer version and only Chinese version ROM has developer version. All version except chinese and TD have the same updates and same version number. And those version have no developer ROM available.

Q and A - Read it!
Q1. What are the prerequisites to flash this?
A. You must be unlocked with TWRP recovery and latest 5.0.1 based firmware. Other recoveries may work but are not supported.
Q2. I got TWRP and I am unlocked, where do I get the firmware?
A. Post #3!
Q3. I flashed this ROM and it still says the phone is encrypted! Why?
A. The ROM will not decrypt the phone on its own. To do that you need to pull everything off storage (if you want to keep it!) and then do a "/data" wipe in Recovery. Then when you reboot you will be decrypted and can copy over what you want!
Q4. Who is this ROM for?
A. Its for the Home-brew enthusiast that wants to make a ROM for themselves. Its for developers that want to build a ROM for the community but may not have access to a complete untouched file set. Its for that guy that forgot to make a Nandroid back up!
Q5. Who is this ROM not for?
A. Crack Flashers. You will not get a flash high from this ROM. Its stock rooted!
Q6. Why doesn't it have any mods? All the other ROMS have xxxxx
A. Its a stock ROM!
Q7. Is the tether hacked?
A. Yes, It should be...
Q8. Can I still enable Encryption?
A. Yep!
Q9. OMG, the Carrier files downloaded!
A. What all did you expect its a Stock ROM!
Q10. Thanks for making this ROM for us! How can I contribute without any low level knowledge of Android?
A. Simple! Make a small (or large) donation to the donate link. Alternatively if you have decent shaped, newer high end, equipment you can spare that would be great too! We can spread the love to other devices!

You can remove the decrypted boot.img.
Just unzip the file using 7zip or something simipar and then rezip it. That's what I do except that I remove the decrypted boot.img and replace it with the stock boot.img since I'm still encrypted.

NO, that is your OEM partition in action. You could edit out part of the build prop to stop that from happening but... I wanted to keep it as close to stock as I could sans Root, Busybox, and Decryption. Oh and tether!

Yeah, I learned that the stock based ROMS for this phone are tricky! I see why no one has done one.
I restored my stock, rooted 5.0 backup and flashed this on top of it and it works great!
Hello fine people of XDA.
First post! Yep, I'm a noob but I have read the rules and know what to do.
So, I'm just going to jump into the question. I have a brand spanking new G watch and want to install Gohma onto it. Thing is, I'm not sure if rooting will block OTA updates like it did on my G3 (still on 4.4.2 ) So if I were to root/unlock bootloader/install a rom/install a recovery, would this in any way make the regular method of updating change?
Anyone who has rooted their g watch and/or given it a custom recovery, please do let me know about OTA updates, anything I may need to know. Please. I'm desperate :'(
Thank you!
Yes it does break OTA updates. If you want to go back to stock the LG way.

Thanks for that reply. I am baffled by this though.
While you say it breaks the updates, I learned from another source side note that you must reject all OTA updates with a ROM installed... Implying you still get OTA updates.
If it really does break updates though, it would be cool to see some kind of after market operating system with updates become available. Preferably Cyanogenmod I recently flashed Cyanogenmod on my G3 I mentioned before, now I can update it on a different but similar OS.
I'm not sure if I can update Gohma, and I'm not sure how long it will be updated for. Therefore, I'm just gonna stick with stock for now unless I can confirm I can receive OTA.
Ok, here's another separate but not unrelated question. Can I receive updates after reverting back to stock assuming I could revert to stock recovery, if possible?
Thanks again.

Thanks for that reply. I am baffled by this though.

CyanogenMod isn't a different OS, it's still Android. On another note, You can only update Gohma via the package the developer provides with each release, which flashes the system image up and modifies it after. You cannot receive ANY OTA packages while flashed to Gohma as the package asserts will fail during the attempt to install.
To answer your last question, yes. You can receive updates after reverting back to stock system image and stock recovery (recovery is needed.) as your watch will effectively be... Stock.

Brilliant! Thank you so much for your response, I feel loved <3
Sorry, I didn't mean a 'different OS' for CyanogenMod but... you know... nevermind.
I will need to find out how to revert back to stock recover though, I am a noob at that sort of thing and just used flashify
I will look for a tutorial on that but a link to one will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

It's no problem, I'm glad to help. That said, I happened to get the link for the post I was attempting to direct you to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/development/script-lg-g-watch-tool-t2820863
Download that and use it to restore to stock. Restoring to stock with the latest version of the tool will put you on the latest OTA available at the time of it's release, which I believe is 5.0.2 since 5.1 hasn't been released yet for Android Wear.

Thank you very much. I decited to root and intall Gohma. Problem is, it is on 5.0.1, so I was offered an OTA update... I'm so confused. Will installing the update break the root + ROM, or break my entire device?

it wont break anything, it will just fail when it tries to update.

As the poster above me stated. It won't cause any problems, the asserts fail when it attempts to install causing it to simply exit from recovery and reboot. There's a tutorial somewhere on these forums (I completely forgot where this time) about neutering the update system so that it won't beg you to update anymore. Honestly though, I'm having more luck on 5.0.2 stock than I was having with Gohma, my battery life is pretty good too.
