[Root] Root and TWRP for R

Disclaimer: If you are not comfortable with using Fastboot and ADB and editing system files than this guide might not be for you. At this point this is what I have to offer.
Click here for the unofficial twrp image - Latest version as of 12/27/14
So getting right into it.
1. Turn on ADB mode on the watch by going to about and tapping the build info 7 times.
2. Download ADB and Fastboot utilties
3. Plug the watch into the computer and your phone should vibrate and ask you to accept the computers fingerprint, tick the check box to always allow and hit ok
4. Open up a command prompt or terminal inside of where the ADB utilities are located and enter
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
This next step will wipe your data!
5. Now you should be in fastboot, go ahead and on the terminal use the next code and follow prompts to unlock
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
6. Now after you re-set up your watch again you will need to do step 1 and 3 again.
Please do not skip step 6!
7. Go ahead and issue
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
8. Flash unofficial twrp, make sure the recovery image file is in the same location as fastboot than issue
Code:
fastboot flash recovery YOURIMGNAMEHERE.img
9. Upon successfully doing that you should have twrp installed
10. Lots in one step here, download the latest supersu.zip flashable file and put it in the same folder as ADB use the proper name of what you downloaded. Issue
Code:
adb push SUPERSUNAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/
11. Issue
Code:
adb reboot recovery
12. than using the very tiny TWRP and somewhat messed up go ahead and use it to install the supersu.zip under the folder /sdcard
13. Enjoy root and twrp.
I will make this guide into a much easier Java program in the very near future to make it easier to use.
This was typed up pretty fast and it is kinda hacky, I will work on a bat script and a shell script if we have enough osx users here. I'm sure someone will come along and make this better if I don't get around to it.

Dees-Troy for his TWRP support for dory our fish brother device which worked on our device
Chainfire for all his hard work these many years

Q: ADB complains there is no device listed.
A: Install universal ADB drivers and then go to device manager and under the device with a yellow warning icon go to update driver, Browse my computer, let me pick from list of device drivers, than Google ADB interface. If it still complains turn off debugging, than turn it back on, revoke authorization, then disable and re-enable again.

One more just in case.

Great work!!
Just got the watch today and couldn't be happier. Custom kernel, TWRP and root (well sort of) all within 6 hours of having this watch.
I say root (sort of) because SU is force closing when running su in adb shell. First time it crashed adb on PC and had to reboot watch. Now it just force closes on my watch and adb exits on PC. What is the most current version of SuperSU? I have 1.94 from Chainfire's site.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Do you or your team have a paypal?

The latest supersu is version 2.36 dated 11.27.2014. 1.94 is well over a year old, you need to update for sure that is why you are force closing.

I figured that's what it was. Feeel real dumb for not finding the newest version the first time. Also most current is now 2.37 XD
Edit: That got it! Thanks tonu!

I'm here to help! I'm working on adding other mods to my other thread right now I'm working on getting busybox working.

Thanks for doing all of this work.
I was hoping you could help me with a step I am stuck on.
10. Lots in one step here, download the latest supersu.zip flashable file and put it in the same folder as ADB. Issue "adb push SUPERSUNAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/
When I do this it is saying permission denied. Also, should the watch be in recovery or fully booted when I run this command?
Thanks

Disregard I did it again and for some reason it worked. Maybe I need to reboot first.

Recovery
I went through your command and everything worked until I ran:
fastboot flash recovery UNOFFICIAL-openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-lenok.img
Now the device just boots into the recovery and not into the system. The system/data partitions keep saying:
E:Unable to mount /data
E:Unable to mount /system
I am very comfortable with fastboot and adb so I do not know what I did wrong here.
Any ideas?

I reflashed the recovery you provided and I keep rebooting to system but it takes me to twrp.
I am in the process of downloading the system dump from another thread to hopefully flash those to get back into the system.

The dump is extracted from the system.img, you won't be able to flash it in any way. None of this guide touches system files besides the root stuff which shouldn't affect boot. Try flashing the stock recovery.img instead.

I must have skipped a step...
installed stock recovery
booted into the watch system
enabled adb debugging
reboot to bootloader
install your recovery image
rebooted
pushed supersu
rebooted to twrp
installed supersu
rebooted to system
adb shell - verified root!
You are awesome! Thank you for taking the time to help me!

HYPE for 5.0.1
'm Hype! can't wait to flash the first 5.0.1 system dump on this as stated by +Darek Ross we MAY be receiving update as early as today!

I did this yesterday, and run into the same problem - TWRP spitting out errors when flashing
It was caused by NOT rebooting after unlocking bootloader, but proceeding with the flash rightaway - this apparently leaves the watch in an empty state (no /sdcard or /system contents) and it needs to boot up at least once before you flash anything
So the correct procedure is like this
1) enable development options
2) enable usb debugging
3) adb reboot-bootloader
4) fastboot oem unlock
5) let the watch boot normally, pair with your phone, enable development options and usb debugging again
6) adb reboot-bootloader
7) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8) fastboot reboot
9) adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/
10) adb reboot recovery
11) flash supersu.zip
Apparently, there is a problem when the original kernel is not present after "fastboot oem unlock" - the watch will be left empty, while on the original kernel it "reinstalls"
I typed this from memory, but I think you should know how these things work anyway, as there's not much for a "normal" user to do anyway... yet...

My guide is setup like the one you put there. In order to get adb working again you need to re setup the watch step 6. Read the instructions carefully. I'll post a batch script later to simplify this.
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app

Step 6 doesn't really say "you need to do this, OR ELSE", it seems like you just rehash the factory reset thing
And you should put step 10 before step 6, it can't really be done in that order...
but again, I guess the people trying this should now how it works, so no biggie, but since a few of us got hit by that "no initial boot" issue, it would be better to put a note in there

By default debugging is disabled, I'm not sure how you were able to issue an ADB command on step 7 with out first performing step 6.

Aaah, sorry, should have been "after step 6"
another option is to do adb push with recovery loaded
I guess that's why I got that error before, because I combined 5+8 and flashed the recovery, but TWRP was unable to revive the watch from factory reset state (which makes me think it should not be on the watch unless needed...)

[Emergency Guide] How to Blank or regenerate Watch (WA 5.01) after clearing \system

[Emergency Guide] How to Blank or regenerate Watch (WA 5.01) after clearing \system
Prerequisit :
Be sure to have latest adb (1.0.32) and fastboot version. Download it from here
Link to know how to enter into fastboot
Under Fastboot
Download boot from here
Code:
- fastboot flash boot bootll.img
Download TWRP recovery from here
Code:
- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Go to Recovery and format all twice with TWRP recovery
Flashing back stock recovery :
Download stock recovery from here
Code:
- fastboot flash recovery recoverll.img
Back to stock recovery, format twice
Regenereting system step :
Download rooted AW 5.01 system directory from here
Code:
- fastboot flash system system.img
Go back to stock recovery, Choose apply update from ADB (adb sideload)
Download AW 5.01 update from here
Code:
- adb sideload 149e0c34d0ab10d3e356d6301915dcc04552d9db.signed-lenok-LWX48P-from-KNX01R.149e0c34.zip
Reboot system now. Choose langage, etc.
Nota : At this time, if you don't need root and Chainfire SU (witch is useless at this time) you can go just for flashing TWRP by :
Code:
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And that's it.
Or following steps : Rooting back Watch and custom TWRP Recovery support
Download stock rooted AW 5.01 system directory from here
Code:
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash system system.img
Reboot Watch, autorize adb debug on the watch
Download Chainfire SU 2.40 from here or BETA-SuperSU-v2.42.zip
Note : You can remove Superuser.apk from the zip file into \common recovery which it is not compatible with AW 5.01
Pushing SU to the watch
Code:
- adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/su.zip
Back to Fastmod and flashing TWRP advanced recovery
Code:
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Restart watch and go to TWRP recovery, install/flash su.zip from sdcard, reboot
Et Voilà !

Nice write up, I'm not sure doing the adb sideload does anything though. The system image is already patched, it was a backup from my device just rooted. Currently I have busybox working on the device and and working on init.d support so any changes we want to make will survive after reboot.
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app

It'ill be nice :good:

HELP
I've done everything to try to get back to AW 5.01 but when I get to the adb sidelload part it says "error: device not found".
It's seem that windows 8 is not detecting my watch. Anyone have any insight on this would be great thanks!
Jay
edit...
Never Mind Got it to Work!

How did you get it to work?

I managed it, too. Turns out I had to reinstall drivers while in sideload mode. You can do it in device manager, select from computer, from list and find ADB composite device.

Hey guys, I accidentaly installed supersu apk on my watch and now I can see it in the menu all the time. How can I remove it from /system/app/SuperSu? Do I have to root first in order to gain rw rights on /system, remove whole SuperSu folder than do a factory reset for example and it won't show up anymore?

Have you rooted your phone?If you have,you can download a "Thermanl Emulator" and try:
First,to get Root access, you should input"su" and then press Enter.Next,"cd /system" and then "chattr -R -i *".Finally,"rm set_immutable. list".

Oh,no.Before you "chattr",you should also "mount -o remount,rw /system".
You can use adb shell instead of "Thermal Emulator" as well.

Hi there.If you have root access and unlocked bootloader,you can install TWRP even without pc connection.
first you should download a terminal emulator app from google play.
then you should download the latest version of TWRP image file from here https://dl.twrp.me/yuga/.
Place it in the root of your /sdcard folder and rename it to twrp.img
Run the following commands in terminal app
Code:
su
and then we write recovery image file to FOTA with dd command.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
and it's done.
press thanks if it was helpful.

i installed hk lollipop zip from my custom twrp recovery. and when rom istall has finished ; recovery gone.

Below are 2 solutions to get a properly working recovery
Preperation:
1. Download Dual recovery installer: XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip
2. Install NDRUtils
Next up we will test if the TWRP you installed works or not
-open NDRUtils and choose to boot into TWRP recovery.
Now unhide the result that you got to continue with the installation:
OK: I am now in TWRP
flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip and reboot.
Everything will work normally now.
Not OK: I am not in TWRP
Reboot the phone if you have to (hold power until you feel 3 vibrations and then turn the phone back on)
You need to download this: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/Kernel_Builder
To get the right file make sure to selec the xperia z c6603 and select the rom version you are using, you can view what you have in settings, about phone, build number.
it will be much easier for you if you install this: X-plore File Manager The reason i recommend this application is that it automatically makes sure the file rights are correct.
Go into the settings and enable superuser +mount root mode
Now you can browse to the folder where you downloaded the zip in the left pane.
go into the zip and and then into tmp
Select the boot.img
now move to the right pane and browse to the root of your SD card like the comment above
go back to the left pane and with boot.img still checked click copy.
Now follow the original instructions mrp1375 gave you, but notice the different filename
Open terminal
Type : su
Type: dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
Now you can reboot and if it worked the phone will vibrate twice and show a green led meaning you can press the down button to enter TWRP recovery.
Go into the recovery and now flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip so you get a proper installation
Now remember this very important fact:
Whenever you flash or wipe anything you MUST reinstall recovery and root again.
This is a failsafe strategy you can NEVER ignore becaus of your usb issues.
Keep SuperSu installer and XZ-lockeddualrecovery installer on your device at all times!

thank you

Below are 2 solutions to get a properly working recovery
Next up we will test if the TWRP you installed works or not
-open NDRUtils and choose to boot into TWRP recovery.
Now unhide the result that you got to continue with the installation:
OK: I am now in TWRP
flash XZ-lockeddualrecovery2.8.23-RELEASE.combined.zip and reboot.
Everything will work normally now.
Not OK: I am not in TWRP
Reboot the phone if you have to (hold power until you feel 3 vibrations and then turn the phone back on)

That doesnt look quite right it should look like this:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $
Then you type "su" (without the quotes) and press enter
The display then changes to:
Code:
[email protected]:/ #
Now you type "dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel" (without the quotes) and press enter
And then it should work properly.

5. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot, complete the setup and when it asks to create a desktop icon then accept.
6. Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot and then type: adb reboot bootloader
- (don't be frightened if you see a red text saying your phone is locked)
7. Then type: fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxx
- (replace the x with your code)
8. Download TWRP Recovery.
9. Copy twrp_p7-3.0.0-0.img to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.
10. After placing TWRP to the folder, type into the Command Window: fastboot flash recovery twrp_p7-3.0.0-0.img

Flash your stock recovery via adb or download flashify from the playstore and flash with that.

I get error when entering adb reboot bootloader. Should I navigate to some location when I open Minimal ADB and fastboot?
The error is: adb server is out of date. killing
adb server didnt ACK
*failed to start daemon*
error: unknown host service

Thank you it works like a charm
why delete 'delete the setimmutable.list in /ROOT/SYSTEM/' ?

You have to delete it because it doesn't allow editing of certain system files and because of that you can't have full root on your system until you remove it.

I just fixed that problem. Here's what i did:
1) have your phone ROOTED
2) install BUSYBOX from PLAYSTORE
3) install terminal emulator from PLAYSTORE
4)open Terminal Emulator and type in the following commands exactly:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd system
rm –f /system/set_immutable.list
Check with X-plore if the set_immutable.list file is removed. Worked for me.
