Hi, Today I received a Buddy LG G watch , the watch is blocked 4.4W.1 ( kgw42q ) b , the watch will not do the update OTA , I heard about an update "force" through ADB but I am having information to proceed to the update ? I would like to switch to 5.1.1 ( if possible).
He is better that I wait the update OTA ?
He is useful to have a custom rom on a watch ?
You can flash the update from fastboot but you need to unlock your bootloader (you will lose all your data and warranty; you can relock your bootloader after this if you want). You can also update from ADB if someone has posted the update.zip file (I haven't found a link). The easy way is to wait for the update OTA if you want to stay safe.
You can also try this tool (your bootloader needs to be unlocked):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/development/script-lg-g-watch-tool-t2820863
A custom ROM on a watch is useful if you want better performance and if you like to customize your watch on a deeper lever but if use your watch only for mails\calls etc you don't need a custom ROM because the stock ROM works just fine.
Hello , so if I understand : you must open the bootloader , and do the update via ADB
I can go directly to the last update , there will be no problems ?
I will think before I start , I got that yesterday so I'll hang my time.
Could someone post the link to update if possible please ?
From ADB you don't need an unlocked bootloader, you just need the update.zip OTA file.
From fastboot you need to unlock your bootloader.
So how do the update via ADB ?
Is it possible to go directly to 5.1.1 without problem ?

Hi y'all!
I'm really having trouble flashing an official stable rom on my device. The rom archive is miui_HM3_V7.3.2.0.LHPCNDD_6a5e1bc33c_5.1.zip.
I downloaded it and copied it to a folder (downloaded_rom) on the internal storage of my redmi 3. After selecting it in the updater app I get asked whether it's OK to delete all data, because the rom I'm updating to is older than the one installed. My phone's miui version is MIUI 77. Stable 77.1.1.0 (LHPCNCK). The doble 7s seem odd to me and may be part of my problem (I bought the phone like that). Then, the device is rebooting and I can see some kind of progression bar for a couple of seconds on the botton of the screen but then it just reboots into android and nothing changed
I also tried to flish it via Mi PC suite. Here, after connecting the device in fastboot mode, I got the message that my device isn't supported.
I also believe that the bootloader is locked and I already got the "permission" from xiaomi to unlock it but I had no luck with this either. The Mi unlock tool is telling me, that the "current account is different from the account info on the device" which wasn't the case after I double checked.
Am I missing something here?
kind regards

yes.
because you are currently in modified rom (rom supplier or seller, etc, etc) you cannot update or do anything about it
flash the official rom using miflash method
after that you can update using updater program

I'll try that and report back. Thanks!
Okay, finally I managed to flash my phone with the newest miui.eu rom. What I did was:
- Flashing the official Xiaomi Rom (MiFlash package) via MiFlash (1st try in Win32 wasn't working. 2nd try on Win64 did the job)
- I had to update to the newest official stable OTA, because somehow, I wasn't able to unlock my bootloader with the older version.
- I unlocked the bootloader using the MiFlashUnlocker.
- Updated to the official MIUI 8 dev rom using updater app on my phone
- On dev rom I granted root acces to flashify and flashed the twrp recovery image on my device (which gets wiped from my device every time I reboot - anyone knows why??)
- Reboot into recovery and flash the MIUI.eu zip which is now running on my device.
Thanks for the help guys!
Hi.
I am having the same problem, with pre-installed rom: MIUI 77.1.1.0 Stable. The updater app obviously doesn't work (now i know why) and the MiFlash software doesn't seem to work either. It doesn't recognise the phone, browsing to the downloaded rom does nothing. Am i missing something?
Update, it now recognises the phone, but miflash is saying it can't find the file specified (0x80070002: Execute flash_all.bat)
Thanks for any assistance you can give.
Update 2. Just found out you need a different version of the Rom for fastboot. available from http://en.miui.com/a-234.html for anyone searching.
Okay so Miflash began the process when i had the Fastboot rom, but failed at about 2 percent as the device is locked.
Although i have permission the Mi unlock tool won't unlock my phone as it says the accounts don't match that on the phone, although i have quadruple checked them.
Research suggests it might be a problem with the custom rom on my phone, or that i need to be on the China Dev rom to unlock?
But i can't flash the China Dev Rom!!!
Is there any way to get my device to stock rom?
Sorted.
For the benefit of anyone searching, i followed the instructions here: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=242867&pid=4510751

I know this isn't the thread for it... but there is no forum for the ZenFone 3 Zoom.
I have US model and I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, rooted.
I want to install rom update that was just released last week. It obviously doesn't flash in TWRP. I also can't unzip it without corruption errors. Redownloaded the ROM multiple times from ASUS.
I assume to update stock rom with an unlocked Bootloader we'll need stock recovery??

How did you do the rooting? No issues so far? Is there a guide somewhere you followed?

Install TWRP.
Install SuperSU zip file.

And where was that twrp install originally from? I haven't found an image for this model specifically.
Also, does this bootloader unlock still allow the pushed OS updates from ASUS? Want to make sure I can get Nougat when it comes out!
Hey guys,
I need some help. I installed the apk to unlock the bootloader and my phone was fine, but after flashing twrp and installing the zip for supersu via twrp, my phone has been stuck on the boot screen. Now it says "The dm verity is not started in enforcing mode and may not work properly" when booting up. I can get back into twrp, and I've tried wiping the dalvik/art cache, system, data, and cache, but my phone still won't boot up. It's stuck on the ASUS boot screen, and I have no idea what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No. The last update WW_V11.41.87.2 is not available for my OTA. I can download the zip though and flash. I haven't actually attempted to do this yet. I plan to flash it today. Not sure if I'll be able to do it through twrp, or if I'll have to flash back the stock recovery first.
So does this change the bands available with it? I have the WW ROM but want the additional bands the US ROM has.
why I only have system.new.dat where can i get the system.img? thank you
How did you get on with flashing the update... did you have to revert to stock recovery and if so which did you use? Thanks for your help with this.
Can I ask where/how you got the stock ROM? I'd like to make sure that these are updated/available somewhere for people on this device to use as needed, and ASUS seems to only have the updates on their website.
Is it possible to relock bootloader after converting to WW?
I'm interested in this phone. Do you know if this one is going to be shipped later this year with Snapdragon 630?. I hear something similar in a YouTube video.

Hallo.
I'm newby on this device, I read some post, somewhere but in definitive I can't do any Rom update
The device come's with version "8.0.1.0.0 stable",
I did copy some new Rom's on the device than start update App, but the message is Always "ca't verify update".
I did also try to change file name and restart the update without success.
I wish try to force the download mode on the device but in the settings I can't find the proper set up.
Seems I got a locked model?
Than's for any helps.
it is possible you have a modded rom from the seller. Some have done those.
The best option for you is to do download the full rom directly from xiaomi, and then do a full wipe/install on your device.
By default, you should have a locked bootloader.
Get the full rom and the flashing guide is also at this link

You are trying to flash miui fastboot rom ,
With edl mode via pc.
Some months before same prblm with me .

Hi,
My device is SM-G531F(SAMSUNG GALAXY GRAND PRIME)
Since this device is running on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop version,I wanted to upgrade it to atleast to Android Marshmallow.
For that,i wanted to install lineageos13 or above if available for my device.
Device is rooted,verified by root checker app.TWRP is installed.
But i couldnt figure out how to unlock bootloader for samsung.ADB command will not work.because when i type adb reboot bootloader, device will restart normally.I only know how to enter download mode or recovery mode.Is there any free working tool which can unlock bootloader?.If so,plz sent zip file here.i dont wish to be redirected to other websites because they look dangerous.
Is there any bootloader unlock file which i can flash on my phone(sm-g531f) by using Odin?
Otherwise let me know if i can flash similar device but different model firmware.for example,can i flash SM-G530H for SM-G531F device?so that i can unlock bootloader by flashing cf-autoroot file.
Or can i flash LineageOS13 without unlocking bootloader?
Or can I flash Android 6 0r or above firmware which is somewhat similar to SM-g531f.
Thanks in advance for all efforts made to answer the above questions.
@KhaledMAQ
Test whether phone's boot-loader can get unlocked
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "getprop ro.oem_unlock_supported"
If value returned is 1 then it's possible, otherwise not.
Guys!No need to unlock bootloader or root
I was fed up of unlocking bootloader.Therefore I went into download mode and installed TWRP.Then after moving the zip files (lineageos13 and GApps) to device storage,I went into Twrp recovery mode and wiped system,data,cache,dalvik and then installed LineageOS13 and Gapps file.Thanks to Nemirtingas. Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/lineageos-13-0-grand-prime-velte-t3874411 . But the his Gapps file wasnt working so i downloaded it from official site.
Well,it worked on my Samsung device SM-G531F(GALAXY GRAND PRIME VE) .I was happy to get Android 6.1.1 version on my device which was actually 5.1.1 before.
Thanks for the files that were posted on xda forums.
