AsteroidOS on LG G Watch W100

To enable adb, click the reset button, so the power button appears while it’s on, place on charger to turn on, or maybe reset button turns it on too. Then swipe to get to settings, and the rest of instructions can be found here.

Don’t ask me how you get the watch to show a popup to authorize your computer, neither laptop nor desktop works apparently. It says unauthorized. It’s possible the OS on it is ancient.

Maybe the OS is too old or something. Oh well. Might get rid of Rabbit r1 anyways.

The build on my watch is KKV51, search says pre release, so probably ancient.

See here for getting in fastboot, without adb working, or not enabled.

And the OTA links on XDA are all dead. Also, I originally thought I need the wear app, but it can’t even find it. Found a link. Maybe ADB works with that. Hmm, which LG G Watch model is that for?

Before possibly bricking it, by using fastboot to flash the files in that archive, I found this.

To make that script work, you may need to change the linux fastboot and adb command, to whatever is installed, so for me just adb and fastboot. And then remove sudo, I just replaced sudo with nothing in kwrite, nano can probably do it too.

I’m doing a factory reset now, cause the recovery thing is broken. I booted it, and got into settings. Didn’t try adb yet.

function platform
{       platform=`uname`
        if [ $(uname -p) = 'powerpc' ]; then
        echo "[-] PowerPC is not supported."
        exit 1
        fi
 
        if [ "$platform" = 'Darwin' ]; then
        ADB="./adbosx"
        FASTBOOT="./fastbootosx"
        version="OS X"
        else
        ADB="adb"
        FASTBOOT="fastboot"
        version="Linux"
               
        fi
}

For fixing the adb and fastboot commands.

Also, it’s not hard to do yourself without the script, but I’m lazy. Not even sure I need to back it up, before putting AsteroidOS on it, since I could just reflash it with that script, or manually, the script includes the images needed.

And flashing that version of WearOS, fixed it, got the prompt, and am sending the file.

So if you get an LG G Watch W100 with ancient firmware, use that script and adb should work.

And I might be using a USB 3.0 port as well. Not sure this laptop has any 2.0 ports. My desktop might, in the back, but that’s a lot of work.

Backing up now. Yes AseroidOS works.
