Lollipop OTA Update: Download and How-To (Root Required) - LG G Watch

I've never done one of these before so I'll give it my best shot. It assumes you know how to get ADB working on your watch.
Go here for adb help.
**This only works on bootloader unlocked, rooted devices. The tool at the link above can help you achieve this requirement.** -thanks 7dk

Directions:
0) YOU MUST BE ON ANDROID WEAR VERSION 4.4W2 (BUILD KNX01Q) IN ORDER TO FLASH THIS OTA
1) Install ADB and successfully connect to your watch over ADB.
2) Rename the install ZIP to 'update.zip' if not already done so.
3) Move the ZIP to your ADB directory.
4) Open a command prompt in your ADB directory and follow these commands:
adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/update.zip /cache/update.zip
echo 'boot-recovery ' > /cache/recovery/command
echo '--update_package=/cache/update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
Your watch should now reboot and begin updating.
Thanks to reddit users z0mbiexx and TjPhysicist for getting the link and install working.

works only on rooted device, so bootloader must be unlocked, and watch must be pre-rooted.
Works with out any problem! thnx! :good:

Nah mate, thank YOU for all the effort for this post. My watch just completed flashing the update and now I'm on the bootscreen waiting for boot. Shouldn't be long now.
EDIT: Android is upgrading screen. <3

Worked great sir! I was unlocked and rooted. I did have to flash stock recovery before I could continue of course. Great stuff. Much appreciated!

Hi, I´m in Gohma 1.2 rom, can I upgrade from this Rom directly?
Thanks in advance for you effort.

It sounds like your computer isn't recognizing your watch as an ADB device when it's in fastboot mode. Usually just monkey around in device manager when this happens, but I'm not great at fixing this issue. I'd look through the comments in that thread for more help.

I used the tool in the post to restore to stock before I updated just to be safe. It might work without a restore, but I've never tried it before. I'd probably recommend a restore, but you're welcome to give it a shot.

Nice

The device gets recognized in adb devices but not in fastboot.
