can you verify that you have ADB enabled on your Truesmart ?
When it's done, connect your truesmart to your computer, and use the command: adb reboot recovery
And you will directly reboot into TWRP
thanks for your reply, but how do i check if adb is enabled on my truesmart? ive installed the adb drivers on my pc. sorry im a complete noob... and where do i enter that command?? thank you soo much for your response!!
ok, i think i figured something out, i downloaded shell terminal emulator from the play store and tried that command, and got error: device not found. wow i really didnt think it was going to be this hard to secure...
ok i'm an idiot... tried the command in the ADB terminal in MTK and had the same result, it just rebooted in to OUI... tried on both win7 and win8.1

If you just get it and have 13 mai 2014 F/W, chance is the current TWRP is NOT workable on this version of TS. I learnt it the hard way.... Wait for dev to make new version.
This version of 1/8/2100 is DIFFERENT to any previous 1/8/2100! (Don't ask me where... ask OMate) This difference broke all compatibility with all the F/W, Recovery... on XDA as of today!
Actually you don't need TWRP. You could still use MTKDroid tool to back up your system and IMEI/NVRAM. You could follow my small guild here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758733
waiting for the devs? hmm i think nobody wants to develop in future for this device...
any idea how i can get the rom from lokifish running?
I thought that might be the case, just my luck... Finally get my device after all the devs have given up on it! I really hope someone out there figures out how we can secure our devices...
Would I be right to guess that this new firmware is still insecure?
Hi All,
I get the same issue as above. Looks like we have to play the waiting game until any quality dev can get right on it.
I tried to enter recovery using cwm ROM manager. It said I had TWRP installed. I got the dead android, then entered recovery but it wasn't TWRP.
I didn't play, just rebooted the watch and its stuck on the loading screen. Long press on power button doesn't reset it. Guess I'm breaking out the screwdriver...

Hey people.
I rooted my ANDROID HTC ONE from T mobile, using a guide I found on here and the all in one toolkit.
I am using TWRP newest 2.5.0.0, I can access the bootloader and recovery, and have been sat here now looking for answers for about 5 hours.
It freezes on the HTC quietly brilliant screen.
Also says that there is no OS installed.
I am looking for help via TEAMVIEWER, or someway to get my phone working.
If you need more information please let me now ASAP so I can give it you.
UPDATE: Okay people I successfully installed the XenonHD ROM and it is now stuck in bootloop i have tried clearing the cache and it doesn't do anything, this is the only ROM that is currently working.
I have searched the net searched the post and still nothing.
I am almost got my phone back guys and am willing to DONATE or repay the favour via modding something through XBOX or whatever I can.
Please contact me soon as possible.
I am still on TEAMVIEWER.
Changed my recovery to ClockWorkMod Touch.
Still need help?

There have been a lot of posts on similar issues. You can "sideload" a ROM via ADB commands from your computer. If you can get into recovery, your phone can be fixed. I haven't done this myself (still stock), but do a search on google or xda on sideloading a ROM from ADB.

Did you clear the cache? Also, I've seen some people have to format the partitions.
EDIT: But formatting does not seem to be needed if you sideloaded successfully.

Sorry, I've not even rooted my phone, and I would not want to use your device as a learning tool. Let me look around and see if I can find a nandroid backup.
EDIT: Nope, I don't see one. Try opening a thread requesting a nandroid back for your recovery.

You have to be careful with No o.s installed .
Normally if u reboot when u see that you'll brick.
Without a o.s you have no bootloader..
I bricked my s3 and had to jtag it when it said no o.s I rebooted and black blank screen nothing.
I've had this happen also when choosing format system and format data /media some reason it botches the boot up .
My only fix was to sideload a rom or wipe factory and restore a nandroid .

my recomendation is that you get s -off and supercid asap so next time you run into a similar problem you can just install any ruu(note only do this if your phone has no official ruu) and work it out from there.

What you need to do is this exactly .
Dload a rom on pc reboot recovery on phone first .IMORTANT FIRST FORMAT SYSTEM.
Then when that's done choose factory reset.
Rename the rom to Rom.zip or anything you want but make sure it says.zip
Sometimes sideload won't work if roms not renamed , that's mentioned in another thread about sideloading.
Then sideload the rom
Let it load and install .
When it reboots itl take a while .
I just did this to my HTC one the other day after I got stuck after formating data media .

Yeah my phone is currently working now, but I have no play store nor do I now if my phone is rooted.
I have a custom ROM on it XenonHD. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290785
That one.
Just currently trying to get to grips on how to work it and that.
I can't download the playstore because it says it is currently installed but it is nowhere to be seen.
Help! I was using Carlos' unlocking the bootloader guide against my will, because I love stock. And turns out karma has gotten me. For some reason my recovery wasn't installing on V20B, so I flashed back to V20F, factory reset, re-rooted, installed busybox, flashed the artas recovery... And yet my recovery STILL isn't showing up. The boot animation is inverted and the touch screen is still "messed up." I have a backup on my external SD card that I can use if I somehow get recovery functional. It's just the stupid recovery won't work and I need it to work lol. Any help? Please?! By the way, I've done an emergency flash using LG Mobile Support Tool and that didn't work, so I'm still open to suggestions.
I've been very helpful to everyone who's asked me for help, I'd like for others to be the same to me. Thanks to whoever tries
go back into recovery then make a backup in tar format then reboot into recovery and check for your files.

I don't have recovery. It won't flash. I have stock V20F without anything but a messed up screen.
Have you tried installing recovery using the L9 recovery installer app?
Also, for the wonky touch screen, it would help a lot if you enabled "Show touches" in the developers options tab~

First fix the touch screen, hold up I'll send you all the info,
Another thing, I hope you already have adb debugging enabled
Wait a min, you have everything you need if you tried to unlock your device
Inside the root lelus folder is the adb
You know, if you go to link for robert busybox on your pc (and sign in) it will send it to your phone, to download
1. Go to the root lelus folder (should be on your c: drive) and open the "stuff" folder
now, hold down the shift key and right click with your mouse, you should see an option, to "open command window here"
This should open a cmd up where the adb is at.
2. Open the cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip and go into the system folder and copy the v6.bin to your external sd
3.now type
adb devices (in the command window)
you should get a number with online status. If you don't it's because adb debugging is not enabled
4. next type
adb shell
su
your phone will ask to enable it, good luck on enabling on the wonky touch screen
okay, type
cat /storage/external_SD/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
note if you put it on the internal storage, type
cat /sdcard/external_SD/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware
this will cause the shell to freeze.
so open up a new cmd (hold shift key & and right click inside the stuff folder) and type
adb reboot
hope this helps, if you need a better guide, lol just ask, it will take me awhile though

So I have to flash again?
[Q] Can boot into a "black screen" recovery and get ADB feedback but that is it.
Strange issue I have here, well it is to me at least, my fathers SGH-I777 the AT&t model boots fine and works when booted but the play store gives me the "no connection" on both wifi and hspa+ and there are a few apps that do not work and cannot be updated for android 4.3 because of the play store. All that is just a day on android and would be fixable if recovery worked. It had or possibly still has clockworkmod recovery installed on it, no idea of the version unfortunately. The first thing that came to my mind was to just update it, well, it cannot be that easy as the latest version of ROM manager does not work, it crashes on startup. So I decided to try ADB and I will get this back if it is in its black screen version of recovery mode
Code:
C:\1>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF recovery
C:\1>
and this if it is booted into android
Code:
C:\1>adb devices
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF device
C:\1>
Kind of a side note but also the main issue, when I try to "reboot to recovery" or hold both volume rockers and the power button till to logo appears all I get is a black screen and if it is dark enough in the room you can see that the backlight is on. So I am assuming a corrupted file somewhere, I just need to get somewhere and so far after 3 hours of searching for a solution today I have not. I don't know where to splice this in so i'll do it here; I am pretty sure this is a result of my father having Cyanogenmod updater update from 10.1 to 10.2 without completely re flashing boot and installing from a "factory reset" device then recovering the data.
List of some other things I have tried:
installing the latest apk of the play store
installing the latest apk of ROM manager
not much else that I can think of at this time, but ask and I will either try it or tell you if I have and try again anyways. Not too urgent but thank you for being here xda .

Just a couple of points, which may be helpful if you are not very familiar with the SGH-I777. Recovery is built into the kernel, not in a separate partition of it's own, so you can't just install a recovery, you must install a kernel containing a recovery.
Rom manager is said to be OK when you have CM on the phone, but in your case it would probably be best to avoid it until the problem is resolved.
The solution 4-2ndtwin posted sounds correct to me. If it were my phone, I'd try that first before flashing back to stock.

Long story short i rooted my phone tried to delete an app accidentally clicked on a system file, tried to wipe phone and removed os by accident. any way that i can fix this? iv been looking for quite awhile and i cant seem to figure out something that works.
I assume your using a custom recovery? You can use ADB Sideload from recovery to push a custom rom.zip to your device.
I'm not sure about CWM but in TWRP the sideload option is hidden in 'advanced'.

You need to download this boot.img http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Flash_boot_8.x_0.1.rar and flash it from fastboot.
Use the command fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sorry for all the edited replies. I've been in the HTC One section recently and only just realised you have the HOX+. lol

Hey, it's sounds familiar to what happened with my frnds nexus 7, is twrp showing this while rebooting that no os is installed? So it's seriously a problem because while researching Alot that time we found that problm is with emmc it's may b hardware+software issue as hardware may b gt corrupted if not than it's problm in some type of emmc partitions. Emmc is basically your storage. At that time we only found to install new emmc so we unroot it and and boatloader locked and send it to service center and got money back. May b it's another thing with you bt it's my personal experiences

it is showing up on twrp when i reboot, and i wont be able to send in my phone because i bought it off craigslist awhile ago
Welcome to Twrp 3.0.0.0 for our Zenwatch 2's
This release I was able to flash the recovery, flash the supersu zip, and flash some others, so far I have not encountered our wild soft brick madness.
Thanks to @acbka for showing me how to get into log files, essentially helping me figure out why the partitions were not mounting correctly when I compiled and recompiled.
Here is TWRP 3.0.0.0
Directions:
Get into fastboot, either by enabling adb by enabling developer options going into settings, about, and taping the Build number 8 times, and going back, down to developer options and enable ADB Debugging.
Then you can type into your CMD or terminal adb reboot-bootloader or by powering down by holding the button or power down in settings, when the screen goes black, repress and hold the button and swipe the screen from the upper left down to the lower right and that should bring up the ASUS logo with CSC Fastboot Mode! on the screen
continue to boot the recovery by typing fastboot flash recovery twrp3.img
OR load up your tethered twrp and flash the image under that.
Hope you guys enjoy! So far I have not encountered soft bricks so it should be safe and sound
thank you, will test now

Works perfectly, my zenwatch 2 is now rooted
thank you, you`re amazing
Thank you very much! I hope this will be one of the first steps into advanced development for our watches! Does this work for WI502Q? But what's a benefit of rooting this watch?

That im not sure, it might, wouldnt hurt to fastboot boot it and see if itll start twrp. I have the 501
Root will go with modifying the Momentum kernel so you wont have much lag on the watch, and any other root modifications that can go with it, like maybe xposed?
Next step in development is fixing twrp so it can be flashed, then maybe modifying the wear os? Or maybe porting some stuff

As far as I understand people are able to get backups of their watch in order to preserve OTA's before rooting

I want to test it. But how do I backup my watch and restore it to get updates? And is there something like a KNOX-counter to tell whether the device was modified?

what did u flash to get root? the one twrp offers (if this one does)? the one xda tv featured for 5.0.1 wear http://www.xda-developers.com/root-android-wear-5-0-1-xdatv/ ? or just the newest non-systemless supersu.zip used for phones? with a phone i would just flash away anything. but im a bit hestitant on the watch yet. couldnt find clear info yet.
Awesome! Got supersu flashed and was able to use Advanced Settings to disable some of the built-in bloatware apps. I'll have to try out the kernel but I'm currently at work and don't want to spend all day messing around with my watch (well... I want to, but I like not getting fired).

You can tell twrp to preserve the system protection, back every single thing up that you can in the twrp option, push that backup to your computer, and then you can disable system protection. twrp itself wont do anything, however playing with options will modify the watch.
OR you can fastboot pull things off the watch, the system.img and boot.img yourself, in case the ones uploaded in my general thread didnt have the protection enabled.
If you want to hang tight until 1.4 comes out, that can be a good thing too
And im not sure if there is something like that on the watch. I have not seen anything about it before
My attempt was a failure on my WI502Q. I got the following messages. And, OP, how do you pull system.img from a device through fastboot? I thought you needed root permission to do that through adb.
"
C:\adb\zw2>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.381s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.834s

Thanks for this! I was losing hope on any development for this watch but now we have the most crucial component to modifying anything on android, a custom recovery. Going to perform a backup, root and flash your custom kernel you kindly released as well!

Hello everyone, I have been working hard last night to make twrp run on our watches, and this I think is a good representation on what itll be like with actual development going on
As far as I understand people are able to get backups of their watch in order to preserve OTA's before rooting, and I was able to flash some zips and kernels successfully, and I fixed the UI to look better and actually usable on the watch
Also, I was able to flash this puppy, and I got android wear to boot with it flashed, however most of the time, it goes haywire and only boots into recovery. Same thing applies, this shall be a Tethered recovery only until I know why its going crazy.
As always, problems can arise on your watch, so be careful!
read the entire instructions, This is a known way to get system protection off, and to flash zips/kernels when need be. Do not flash please.
Here is the link to the updated twrp
Get into fastboot, either by enabling adb by enabling developer options going into settings, about, and taping the Build number 8 times, and going back, down to developer options and enable ADB Debugging.
Then you can type into your CMD or terminal adb reboot-bootloader or by powering down by holding the button or power down in settings, when the screen goes black, repress and hold the button and swipe the screen from the upper left down to the lower right and that should bring up the ASUS logo with CSC Fastboot Mode! on the screen
continue to boot the recovery by typing fastboot boot recovery.img like the other one.
I also have a kernel underway if people would like to try it out and test it in the next couple days

it could lead to that, yea, since this is the only root method basically, it adds a few extra steps to do it
can we root with regular supersu .zip, or do we need a special build for wear devices?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3zB2zRyWlLBNmhwSmNBUEp1SVU/view?usp=sharing there ya go. dunno if the regular supersu works. havent tried that out. this one does. and alrdy has a busybox installer wear app included which u need anyway sooner or later.
there is no supersu manager app in it though like on phones. apps requiring root just have it. tested advanced settings so far for disabling built-in stuff and a reboot option. but maybe there is a supersu-wear.apk somewhere?
not my link. taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65759835&postcount=14 he took it from the G watch R forums iirc.

Let me know the steps you took from when you downloaded it, to when it sits on the asus logo, and do you have the 502 or the 501 watch?

guess that means he flashed it. now his watch is bricked. not that it hasent been mentioned NOT to flash it just fastboot boot ...
flash the stock images via fastboot or tethered (NOT flashed) twrp and you should get your watch working again.
