While playing around with getting TWRP installed on my Gear live things went South.
I can no longer get into any mode (fastboot, recovery, bootloader) except regular boot; using the "normal" method of hold-power-button and swipe diagonally once or twice. No matter how much I swipe, it will ONLY boot to regular system.
However, as soon as the boot finishes it asks for language and then hangs with message saying I have to "install android wear in your phone". Wear is already on my phone, but it will not pair with the watch.
I figure if I can't get into one of the modes mentioned above, there is no way to un-brick the watch. Hopefully, one of you will prove me wrong.
HELP???

Similar issue with Samsung Gear Live watch....
I had a similar issue...... My Gear Live kept doing to the same " install android wear in your phone" message...
I use a Galaxy S6 Edge + to pair it with, not that the type of phone probably matters.... I did several, and i mean several reboots / reinstalls / restarts/ factory resets/remove and reinstall android wear... . finally called Samsung tech and they said it wasn't fixable and i needed to buy a replacement.
I am sorry, and don't know how i got 'lucky', but a few days later, before i gave up totally on it.. it did an OTA update and asked if i wanted to install it !! after that it asked for another update, and another update and another update. Each time it brought the ' security patch level closer and closer to the current date ( it is finally up to sept. 5,2016 )
Android Wear on the watch is now 1.50.3287245
Play service is 9.8.77
Android OS is 6.0.1
and with these updates it now has wi-fi capability ( yes - Gear Live has wi-fi )
All this happened right when i was about to give up on it / Now it works perfectly , updates from my phone with new watch faces immediately , etc.
very very cool watch.
ps. I did also read several, and i mean several posts all over the internet about the Gear Live and its issues. ( sorry, i don't have all the links, but sure if you google you can find the same ones i went to ) I did turn on NFC ( near field Comm) on my phone, as well as bluetooth and wifi.
There is a youtube video that walks you through factory resetting it... I did so many resets and downloads and re downloads ( I was on a mission ! ) Now, finally works like it should and have had zero problems with it for the past several months !

Good Luck - just keep trying - sorry i don't have a 'real' solution.
ps. currently using the 'Black Classic' premium watch face - very customizable, lots of features and user friendly.
pss. I haven't posted to a forum in YEARS , but with all the frustration i went through I thought maybe my few tidbits might help you .. I truly had given up, when these updates started to come through -
Best wishes.

Thanks for you interest....... I've been trying numerous re-boots, factory resets and other things. I can't get the watch to pair with my phone; so OTA update is not going to happen..
Can't get into fastboot/recovery mode either. The only thing I CAN do is get into DOWNLOAD mode, but I don't have then correct firmware files in ODIN format.
Thanks

My mum's Galaxy S I9000 keeps and rebooting randomly and can happen at any time such as during phone calls, viewing emails, texts, the lot! She is on gingerbread.bojv8 2.3.3 and i was wondering how i can stop it rebooting and whether rooting the phone and applying a custom rom could fix this? I have also realised that she cannot switch wifi on as it 'Error'.
If you give adivce to root it, please can you provide me with some thread links on tutorials and reliable rom's
Help would be muchly appreciated, many thanks,

Why don't you get the phone into recovery mode vol up + home bttn + power bttn then wipe cache partition and data/factory reset this will solve the problem but will delete all the phones data
If she sets up a Gmail account on the phone, her contacts and apps will be backed up online and will be reinstalled automatically during initial setup. Hope it helps.

Factory reset didnt alter it and neither did wiping cache partition in recovery, wifi still not working.
The phone just restarted 4 times in the last few minutes and turns itself back on when manually turned off!
Please help!?

My phone has the same problem...
Is Ur phone rooted?
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS
If still under warranty no sense messing with it. I would take it to a shop/service center before trying to root or install custom rom. If factory reset and clearing cache hasn't helped a custom rom probably won't.

no it isnt
My Galaxy has beed doing it allmost from day 1. I did get it fresh from beginning with Froyo (if my memory serves my correctly) and then it was like - "its ok - wait Gingie to come ant that solves problem". Gingie came - problems did NOT solve. Opted for rooting - bricked the phone. Was lucky - carrier changed the phone - telling me that "motherboard was faulty and needed to change. Afterwards did check numbers (I know - i am little paranoic) - number where the same - so they probably just but fresh rom or something like this.
It was OK like few weeks - then it started again - random reboots every imaginable time - - doing something - not doing something. Just few minutes back - phone was sitting on the table - doing nothing and then - BABAHH - reboot.
I have tried mostly everthing - keeped it squiicky clean - no added apps, no added info - even not synced (no google, no live, no yahoo or whatever) - dialed numbers from paper and so one - no differences. Some day it rebooted few times, then few days it did not. I have tried allmost ALL launchers (Go, ADW, Holo, EZ etc - GO and EZ are the best - others lagging far behind) including this HOLO derivative modded TouchWiz - it did not installed. All versions from this forum give same answer - file error something.
I have a feeling that this is the crappiest phone/soft ever in the world.
Did use Dell AXIM (X5 and x51v) as a phone starting in 2002 - no problems - sorry one problem - BATTERY. Then did get ASUS P750 - no problem (was not very user friendly but worked SOLID) - battery lasted once when listening music 9 hours on row - ok screen was out - but still. Now I am so pissed off that will ditch Android as crappiest sh1t and smsung as crappiest hardware and will get Lumia 920.
It has 2 compoents that basically never failed my - Nokia phone (I allways had 2 numbers and second was allways Nokia). Nokia soft aint best but hardware is solid - (love my X2 - best phone ever) and when combining with Windows mobile it should be like manna from heaven for the phone hell from that this last 2 years are cousing my - "thanks" for android and smsung.
As for those restarts/reboots I have looking for problems roots and it seams that problem originating from BT/3G/WiFi hardware. They have some kind of incompatibility problem with android. When in flight mode then phone can go like a week with no restarts. As soon those are on (can You imagine using phone WITHOUT 3G or basic phone function?!) turned on restarts will happen. Google and Samsung know that but they scrubbing net from that information. When i started looking in to it more then year ago then i find some stories about that. Saved the links but after few weeks non of them worked any more.
I have few gollegues using Galaxy as well (S+, S2, S3 and few others) and ALL of them telling me that this random rebooting is a issue. Some model little less some more.
If some one has some kind solutions let me know - maybe some other persons find it here to and this can help them to.
Thanks.
Thanks for the information, just have to put up with it i guess!
Well I can help you with rooting and applying custom ROM
it might solve your problem!!

So far I know custom roms did not solve the problem totally.
Some phones have less reboots but they did not go away totally.
I guess something is very wrong with this phone physically.
I have "romming" and "rooting" more then once and more then one phone.
(Starting from my "beloved" DELL AXIM x51v and ASUS P750 :laugh: )
But this one is like messenger from techno hell. Did rooting for 3 phone
for my coworkers and few for the family (Gal S+, Gal Y, SII) and all of them
rooted nicely - just few drops of sweat now and then. So I dont want waste
any time on that "crapper".
If it dies before i get Lumia920 then I use Nokia X2.
I might grab Android Tab in future to replace my Bookees Cybook but no more android phones
Hi I am not sure what happened but I found someone locally selling a Galaxy Gear for $200.00. I thought that was a pretty good deal so I met up with the person today and got the watch. He showed me it working on his Note 3. He breezed through the screens with his finger. I called him...he took the call on the watch...I mean everything looked fine. Now I must mention I already bought a Galaxy Gear and love it. Been side loading apps and really having fun with it. I thought for this price I could play around with rooting and try some things that I did not want to on my existing gear because I am happy with the way it is working. Figured if I sold it on Ebay eventually I would still make possibly $50.00 when it was all said and done. So the first thing I did was charge up the new Gear ..it was at 87% already but thought it could not hurt. I was trying to figure out how to link TWO gears to my Note 3 and you pretty much just add a new gear and unpair or disconnect the other. So far so good...so I get the option to restore my data....I'm like sweet! Goes through the entire process including with even watch styler. I push a recently configured watch face to the gear. And that's as far as I got. I tried to swipe left and right with no luck. no up or down either. Ok, I figure maybe the buggy watch styler hung up the gear. Hold the power button down on the side and I get the reboot or shutdown...go to hit shutdown and the screen does not sense I am touching it. I tried it over and over and still nothing. Finally my only option was to hold the side power button in....says rebooting...actually comes up shows the time but I still cannot swipe in any direction. I even went as far as to go into the system menu by pushing the side button over and over after the reboot and I did a reset in there but still no touch response. Now If I had not actually seen it working I would have thought the dude pulled a fast one on me and who knows maybe he still did but it WAS working. Out of desperation I called Samsung and gave them my serial number and they told me it is eligible for warranty return...but watch them find it was previously wet or dropped somehow. I do not know if it has been but that would just suck. So much for my good deal. Do any of you extremely smart folks know what I can try or do you think it and I are hosed? I did try USB to see if that made a difference and if I go into the download mode I could launch ODIN and it shows it is detected. I am trying not to totally reset my other gear by uninstalling anything on the phone but I trust you guys so what do think I should do?
I have had this galaxy gear for about a week now, and since new the camera has been extremely glitchy. Sometimes it will work no problem, but very rarely. Most of the time when I swipe down to use the camera the screen goes black and stays that way for almost a minute sometimes, before a message comes up saying "warning camera failed" . I have done a hard reset twice now, and made sure I had the latest software update, yet still haven't had any luck. I can still return it to the store for an exchange but best buy where I purchased it from is currently sold out and I am waiting. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and it might be fixable? I have read through a lot of forums but haven't found any information on this.
I have recently been trying to root, and install a custom rom hoping that would solve the problem. I follow the directions exactly from the forums in this site, it roots no problem, and I get the custom rom transferred to the galaxy gear sdcard using wondershare. But every time I get in recovery mode, and select recovery, it reboots and resets my gear. I don't get any options to install in twrp.
Can anybody help?

I facing the same issue also..Which "camera has stopped" problem. i had also send back to service center once and return back with a functional one. But today i once again had this problem and i try to remove out from my hand and twist abit on the belt and the camera able to function. i believe this is hardware problem and this was due to the belt problem. I think i going to send back to service center once again.

Ya that's what I am thinking it must be, I will return mine too as soon as they get some more in stock. But I still haven't been able to figure out why I can root mine, but I cant install the custom recovery so I can install a new rom..
Mine just started doing this, anyone have a resolution other then returning it.
Never mind, i found the issue. The band has separated from the face and cut the cable to the camera.
how long did it take samsung to send you a new one.
After returning my watch to bestbuy I exchanged it for a new one. The new one the band is different and the hole in that was behind eh camera is now gone. I really think samsung is reading these forums

I had the same problem.. did a fresh watch reset/recovery, and its fixed the problem.. not sure if it will for everybody, but in my case it did. My Model# is SM-V700
Step 1: Make sure Gear is powered off
Step 2: Press and hold the power key until you see either the Galaxy Gear rebooting… screen or a blank white screen.
Step 3: Release the power key and then continuously tap the power key until you see the Reboot Select Mode screen.
Step 4: Tap the power key to highlight the "recovery" option.
Step 5: Long press the power key (5-8 sec) to select it.
Solution to camera stopped problem
I hope this helps others. I had not used the watch in many months. I couldn't get it to turn on after a whole day of charging. Read a tip off an Amazon review and it worked -- if your watch is "dead" plug the charging cable into your computer USB port and not the AC outlet. It charged just fine then and works.
Now to the camera problem. I reset the watch and reinstalled. Got the "black screen" and after so many seconds, a message 'camera stopped'. Reset again. Still the same problem.
But I got into the GEAR MANAGER , selected MY APPS and noticed that there was a "+" sign on the top right of the screen. Touched that and it brought up an additional list of apps. At the top it said I has "11/14" apps turned on. I found I could click on the CAMERA and it went to 12/14. Picked 2 more things. Now the Camera is one of the 14 apps on the device. Guess there's a limit
THE CAMERA WORKED PERFECTLY AFTER THAT.
Hi everybody, I'm new to LG, this is my first LG phone since my original LG Vu many many years ago, and i have a couple questions. I've searched everywhere here on XDA and a couple other forum sites, as well as general google searches. First off my Flex is on 4.2.2 and it doesn't seem I have any way to update to 4.4.2. Whenever I try the update from my phone it says "your phone is not registered" and when I try with the LG computer software it just says my device is up to date. I've seen the not registered error mentioned a few times before and I tried the suggestions given, like getting a new sim card and doing a factory reset, but no luck. I've seen a few people mention that they flashed the update manually with something called LG Flash Tool, but I cant find any info on that whatsoever. My model is the AT&T D950 by the way. Secondly I am having absolutly horrible lag with this phone, specifically list scrolling, mostly in apps such as Google+, YouTube, and Facebook, all the reviews i read before getting the Flex said it was super smooth, thays why I got it, so is there something I should so, or is lag like this normal? Because I can't scroll through YouTube or Google+ without it hanging every couple seconds. If anybody that has more experience then me with this phone or LG in general could help me out with these or just point me in the right direction, that would be greatly appreciatex.

If you are on AT&T, take the phone to the store and have them update it for you. If you are on another carrier you will have to manually flash the update. As for the lag, I have also just got the Flex and I have not had any lag, but I have always done a Factory data reset before I do anything else.

Yeah I'm on AT&T. Thanks for the tips, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately nothing seems to work. I've tried downloading the LG PC software from their website but it just tells me I'm up to date, I can't find any info on how to use the LG flash tool thing, and I just went into 3 different AT&T stores, one of which was a device support center, and they all said they have not way to flash the LG G Flex because LG stopped supporting the tool they had to flash it with so it no longer works. So it looks like I'm stuck on 4.2.2. It's a shame really because I really got this phone to test out LG before the G3 comes out to see how I would like it since I'm up for an upgrade, and I absolutely LOVE it, but I'm not dropping money + a contract on a phone that might have issue upgrading the software, I mean we already wait long enough for android updates on non-nexus phones, but then even when it's available you can't update it because there is some sort of issue between AT&T and LG servers. And the worst part is it's not just me or this model phone. I have seen tons of people having the same issue with G2's and G Pro 2's but nobody seems to be able to figure it out. It really suck. But thanks for all the tips and help, like I said I really appreciate it!
Just want to give an update for anyone else that has this issue and might come across this thread. After going to 2 more stores, getting 2 more new SIMs, and 2 more factory updates, then spending about an hour on the phone with tech support with them trying to "push" the update to me, then another 2 hours on chat support with them trying to "push" it to me, I am no closer to any kind of solution.
Just another update, AT&T filed a case and I can now check for software update through settings, and it tells me an update to 4.4.2 is available, but once it downloads the update fails, it tell me my device is suspected of rooting and software update is not available for my device. My device is not, and has never been rooted. So I don't know where to go from here. This is the most frustrating thing I have ever encountered in my 4+ years with android lol. My next phone will definitely not be an LG phone, which is a shame because I just got this one to test out LG while waiting for the G3 to make it to AT&T.
did you buy this new?
isnt there a warranty from ATT?

Can you post a screenshot of the message you're getting that says your device is suspected of rooting?
Yes I bought it new from an AT&T COR store. Yeah it has warranty, I actually just went to the support center and exchanged it after explaing that it has never been rooted or else I would post a screenshot, I didnt even think about doing that, I remeber the error exactly though, I must have tried it a dozen times. When I went to software update it said a new update is available and I clicked yes to download, after it downloaded it rebooted into that LG screen with the cartoony hills and stuff and it said updating 0% for about 2 mins, the in big letters it said ERR:0x0011341, and it rebooted back into the ROM and everthing loaded up, after about a minuter I got a popup that said Error: Your device is suspect in rooting, your device is not available for software update, then any time I tried to run software update that popup would come back up unless I did a factory reset, then it would start the whole thing over with the same results. Like I said, I just got a replacement and am downloading the update now, I'll post back and let you know what happens.
Its not that unusual for a phone to get hosed when trying to download/install an OTA update.
Is is unusual for a message like you saw, about being a "suspect" for rooting; I don't think I have ever heard of that before..
All that matters is you got a new phone, so thats a good thing
Yeah i thought it was weird too, the weirdest pat was i did the return to stock from the other thread here just to see if that would fix the issue and it still said the same thing, it even did it after factory resets, like something had been tripped and couldnt be reset. Im no stranger to rooting, I've been doing it for years, i just never did it with phone cuz there isn't a whole lot you can do with it. But the new one just updated to 4.4.2 no problem so the issue is fixed. It was all just really strange, i found a thread here from another person getting the same error on a G2 http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg...tware-update-not-available-rooted-device.html

I'm having this same issue, but I did root my device. I completely unrooted it, and tried again with no luck. I thought it was me. Looking forward to hearing if you have success with the replacement. If so, I'm definitely taking this guy in. ?

So I've had my R for a couple of months now, and it's been working fine, until after it was updated to 5.0.2. It stopped connecting to my Nexus 6, so I reset it. After that, the Android Wear app would never find it. I've wiped my phone, tried two other phones (Nexus 5 with Lollipop, Nexus 4 with KitKat) and nothing sees it. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or anything. It just sits at the "Install Android Wear on your phone" screen. Any ideas?

I am having the exact same issue. And lately google play services and contacts and other things began randomly crashing ALOT on my verizon note 4. Nothing rooted all stock on phone and watch. Did our bluetooth radios die or is this a widespread problem with an update noone has documented yet? I need my watch lol. Any one else?

So I've had my R for a couple of months now, and it's been working fine, until after it was updated to 5.0.2. It stopped connecting to my Nexus 6, so I reset it. After that, the Android Wear app would never find it. I've wiped my phone, tried two other phones (Nexus 5 with Lollipop, Nexus 4 with KitKat) and nothing sees it. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or anything. It just sits at the "Install Android Wear on your phone" screen. Any ideas?

Did anyone figure out a solution to this? Is it the watch or the phone (i'm using an s6 edge)?
All i get is "install android wear on your phone" on my moto 360, and on the android wear app it doesn't find my watch. I literally cannot do anything on my watch but stare at the "install android wear on your phone" message. I only tried to reset my watch because it was connecting and disconnecting rapidly every 5-10 seconds for hours and was my last resort.
Anyone please help?!

I am having same problem as op, why would you not root again and wipe dalvik if that was working before, i have been trying to root so i can do this but i cant got stuck on twrp and would not boot to start up so i flashed everything back to normal and bluetooth will not show at all on any device...
I believe it has to do with the latest version of android wear. Ever since the last update a lot of people have been reporting the same and similar problems in the play store. A fix for me even though it is inconvenient is resitting the watch and re installing android wear. Every since the update I have to do that every couple of days.

what I do is first I unpair the watch from the phones bluetooth settings, then I uninstall android wear from the phone. Then I take the watch and I go under settings and reset the watch, once the watch is finished resetting I re-install android wear on the phone and re-pair.

ANSWER: after resetting your watch, you must unpair the watch from your phone, then go to settings/apps/android wear "clear data" . then start the whole pairing process again.

i answered after scanning the thread too quickly
I've done every steps above: Factory reset my GWR, then on my phone I clear data in setting - apps - android wear then pair again. My GWR connect successfully but after sync app it disconnect, then my phone can not find the watch anymore.
I've done all these steps 5-6 times and the result still the same!
I dont know whats wrong with my GWR?
I have same problem
Especially when the "install android wear on your phone" text appear on watch, below it is G watch R but is there 4 digit " name" of the watch did not showed, and adroid wear not see the watch to pair.
The watch is on 5.0.2
Pls help me.

This is what happened to mine. I tried all the things mentioned in this thread, but finally the only thing that worked was a hard factory reset (swipe from top left to bottom right over the LG logo when booting) and then leaving the watch on charger for like 3 hours and finally my phone could see and connect to it. I've heard this worked for others too.
