hahahahaha, we've been testing for a long time, but it wasn't until encoh facilitated the dump that I contacted him to see how he did ... and as a result of that we were able to advance much more ...yesterday we already had a semi-functional twrp (it did not mount anything xD)what I don't think I will achieve is decrypting ... I've been with that all day with no results

Glad to see this! Thank you guys and ladies for your efforts!
Waiting for 100% TRWP, international rom, and full guide for rover

---

---

Good job man
Thanks a lot

---

I gotta get a new cable.

---

is working!! and i try flash the ota update.zip test
because my watch is dev.keys rom but i dont know why

---

Need a little help folks.
Not sure if i am doing something wrong, but i cannot get TWRP to load/boot on my TWP3 (GPS). Here was my steps. I am attaching a copy of my console if it helps.
1. Fastboot unlocked bootloader "fastboot oem unlock". TWP3 is now unlocked.
2. After the watch formats and restarts, i reconnect the DIY cable and ran this command "adb reboot bootloader" the watch reboots to bootloader/fastboot mode.
3. Once the watch gets to the bootloader menu, I then flash the ruby fish TWRP img with this command "fastboot flash recovery rubyfish_recovery.img" Console shows it writes the recovery OK.
4. After the rubyfish_recovery.img has flashed i run this command "fastboot reboot recovery" and it brings me back to bootloader/fastboot mode. I have even flashed the rubyfish_recovery and toggled on the watch to recovery and selected and it brings me back to bootloader/fastboot.
Any guidance would be appreciated with flashing TWRP.
Also, the comment in the OP

I read this as, TWRP will not stay unless you wipe system, vendor and ???. Once i finally get TWRP to boot do i need to wipe anything specific to keep TWRP other than system and vendor? A little confused on this one. Sorry for this newb question.
Thanks

For enter to recovery use bootloader menú. No commands.
When u see "recovery Mode" enter on It
No wipe nothing because actually no exist ROM for recover It (working on it)
When u reboot to SYSTEM the custom recovery no work. Because system patch the custom recovery to stock.

Got it. Tried to reboot to recovery from bootloader menu, but i may have borked it. Will try again.
.
Thank you!

great job! We hope you breakthrou this with good results

Hello everyone. Hope you are all healthy ... I have a Ticwatch 3 pro GPS and would like to root with twrp and then play a custom Rom on it. Root rights are important to uninstall unnecessary apps
I've been researching here in the forum for 2 days. How can I unlock the bootloader without the cable. Is there a good guide for a beginner that explains everything from bootloader to custom installation? Would be very grateful to you. First of all, I really took the time to find what I was looking for here.

First of all, there is no way to unlock bootloader without a cable

So there are no other way to get root and unlock the boatloader of the ticwatch pro 3

Don't understand why you have to make things so difficult. Life with Covid is hard enough. Why doesn't anyone help them .... Don't deny that. Is it too much to ask to say yes there is an alternative to rooting or not. My apologies for the inconvenience when I ask. If it only works with cable then I would be happy to receive instructions

Like said in the opening post, you can unlock bootloader, but only with do-it-yourself cable, like modified TicWatch S/E cable. Consult this guide:
https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/p3oj8i
Once you manage to unlock bootloader, you can try to follow this instructions: Post in thread 'TicWatch Pro 3 development' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/ticwatch-pro-3-development.4312327/post-86176943
Of course, all you do is on your own responsibility
PS. Remember that rooting the watch can compromise OTA updates. Personally I did not root my watch

Tip Top. Schukran Katir Said. Thank you very much for this answer I will buy a cable on ebay and do this. Good bless you and your family and push covid away
