How to manually upgrade Android Wear device via ADB sideload

Some of us have Sony SmartWatch 3 and because sometimes the update for our watch have delay, here is step by step guide to upgrade our watch with OTA zip packages. It work for every Android Wear device, but you need specific zip package. I test all steps with my own Sony SmartWatch 3. If you have any questions, just ask.

1. download OTA package (you need to find specific URL for your device)
2. download and install ADB http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
3. enable developer options on your Android Wear Device and enable USB debugging (tap more times on your software version in your device)
4. connect your device to computer and install correct drivers from Google - http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
5. put your downloaded OTA ZIP into ADB folder and get it some easy name (like update.zip)
6. open command line and type adb devices, if result is some kind of number, than go for point 7. If not, you have no driver installed or no USB debuging enable
7. type adb reboot recovery
8. your device will reboot and after you see green Android, tap on display
9. go to apply update from ADB (in your device)
10. typ adb sideload update.zip (if it doesn work, now you have to install drivers once more in device manager)
11. wait until proces finished, you complete firmware update

TWRP won't start adb sideload

Hi All,

I have an LGG2 802 with TWRP v2.7.0.0. I stupidly performed a factory reset within android and now can only boot to TWRP..

Trying to fix the situation by sideloading a rom, but I can't get adb sideload to start from TWRP > Advanced > ADB Sideload. All I get is the prompt saying 'starting ADB sideload feature...'

I don't see any devices on my computer using $ adb devices

If I hit cancel on the phone, I get 'ADB sideload Complete. Failed'

If I restart the phone using the TWRP restart menu, whatever choice I make 'system' / 'recovery' / 'bootloader', I just get to TWRP.

Help!

adb sideload - Back to stock?

All - as a background, I use a Nexus 6, girlfriend has the 550 Zenfone. I rooted it for her and unlocked the bootloader if I remember correctly back in April. I haven't messed with it since. With the new updates out, I'd like to get her back to stock, she'd prefer it anyway.

I know for a fact her phone is rooted, I can check on the bootloader, but regardless, if I download one of the stock images from Asus, what exactly do I need to do to get a successful stock phone? Is it as easy as adb sideload file.zip or do I need to unroot, lock bootloader, etc etc?

I don't want to brick her phone, I think I'll leave it stock after this since the zenfone has so many updates, it's crazy!

Thank you very VERY much!
Mario

adb sideload issue

Can someone explain this to me as to why https://android.googleapis.com/packa...rblock-fix.zip gives me the following error shown in the attach picture?

Looks like it should match correctly but sideload is errorring out saying otherwise

Disconnecting during sideload

Hi everyone, I accidentally wiped my OS and now every time I try to reinstall it from sideload with ADB my Moto disconnects at 19-20% of sideload transfer. Does anybody knows what is going wrong[emoji45]

TWRP ADB Sideload failed, everything is unresponsive.

Hello,

I recently attempted to install a SkyDragon ROM using the adb sideload feature on TWRP 2.8.7.0. However, it required a new adb version. I downloaded adb version 1.0.32 and used that instead of the older version. The process was about 10 times slower with the new version and it froze at 7%. The screen shut off and now I can't hard reboot. When I press the power button it vibrates once. When I press and hold the power button and the lower volume button it vibrates three times. At first I thought I would let the battery drain but it was at 100%. Is the phone permanently bricked, or is there another method to hard reboot?
