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

PC does not recognize smartphone + firmware upgrade encountered an issue

Hi guys, first of all, sorry for my bad English.
I own a Samsung Galaxy A5 (SM-A500FU), Android 5.0.2, ROM stock. My PC is a Windows 10 64 bits.

I tried to root my device with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...pop-5-t3137613
A month ago it worked, but then I had to unroot my phone because I wanted to update it, but when I wanted to re-root it, it didn't work, I couldn't flash the cf-root so I closed Odin. After that, my phone displays "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" when I turn it on. I would like to flash again the ROM stock, but my PC does not recognize my phone. I've tried on other computers, but the problem is still the same (tried on an Ubuntu PC, and a Windows 7 laptop).
Also, when I try to install the Samsung USB drivers, my PC freezes (BSOD) and I have to reboot it.

Please, help me, I don't know what to do.
Thank you.

PS: I will provide every information you need.

How to upgrade ATT HTC ONE M7 without losing root

Hello all, I have an AT&T HTC ONE M7 that is currently running Android 4.4.2 with HTC Sense 6.0 (software # 5.03.651.3). I have rooted it with TWRP and SuperSU and need some guidance to update my phone without losing the root (or unroot/upgrade/re-root). Can't seem to find anything. I want to stick with the factory ROM ideally, but would be happy to take a look at any other that is comparable. Not looking for added capability, just want to get my phone up to date.

Thanks in advance!!

Should i upgrade from xperia z1 ? few questions

Hello, i have xperia z1

i like it's 6H+ screen on time
i like it's snappy lag free performance
i am happy with it's camera , but i don't like it's low light performance

What should i expect from LG G3 ?
How is screen on time ?
how is camera?
how is performance ?( i used LG G3 once for one day but i returned it, and it's ui didn't feel as smooth as z1, it feelt more like touchwiz with little stutter here and there)
how much free ram is available on the 2gb/3gb versions on average?
do 1080p/720p videos look blurry on the 1440p screen ? (720p don't look good on my z1)

and is it a good deal to get LG G3 2gb version for MY Z1+50euros

Software Upgrade download server

Maybe someone can find something useful here?

Hide software upgrade notification

Hello -
It's my first post but I have used the forums very often for rooting my phone, installing safestrap, ROMs, and most recently safely installing OC1 on my Verizon S4. So now my phone has downloaded OF1 and is constantly reminding me to upgrade. How can I disable these reminders before I accidentally click on the notification and upgrade and lose root etc. I'd rather not upgrade at all to be honest as it's just a lot of work to reinstall everything etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

[Q] Upgrade from KitKat to Lollipop or Root First?

Hating Sammy atm. I'm getting the notice to update once an hour now. I don't want to update because I'm still testing the phone and want to root KK. Still in my return period but don't want to. Just want the update issue resolved.

Questions/info, etc.
1. Solved.
2. I want to root, but prefer rooting KK, not LP because I like the idea of being able to downgrade later if I really hate LP, and I'm hearing a lot of bad stuff about LP.
3. Not rooting until I'm sure I'm keeping this baby - i.e. no other issues, etc. Samsung can bite me!
4. What would you do?
5. I have previously rooted four devices, but am a beginner at best.
6. If anything goes wrong with root I am really screwed because I don't want a Note 5.
7. I trust the long-term, knowledgeable xda guys so that's who I'm really asking.
8. I don't want a rom, only root and twerp or cwm at some point, but not yet.
9. I would tend to use CF auto-root since it worked for me on the Note 3.
10. I can do a factory reset, but just got it all set up yesterday.
11. Which root and why?
12. Will I be able to downgrade if I update to LP or would I be better off waiting and dealing with the update notice?

I'm on KitKat 4.4.4 and everything is smooth with zero issues.
Pertinent info:

Sprint Carrier
Software version - KTU84P.N910PVP1ANK2
Hardware version - N910P.05

Thanks in advance. You guys rock and you know it!

Upgrade question

I am on CM 10.2.1 running Android 4.3.1 (MJA). I was thinking about upgrading to the latest CyanogenMod version or another ROM.

I take it I would have to upgrade my Android version correct or would the new ROM include that upgrade?

Also, would it be safer to go back to a stock ROM and download and apply the latest update from Sprint and them install CM12/other ROM?

Thanks for any help.

PS: Never upgraded my S4, so sorry if the questions are silly.

firmware upgrade encountered an error samsung tab 2

For the last 15 days I've tried all possible resorts, including Kies but no luck, now this forum is the last resort !

Thanks in advance.

Upgrade to 5.1.1 Help Please

I've read around and see multiple starting points to do the upgrade and I guess I'm a bit confused. Hopefully you all can help.

I'm currently still on OB7 Stock 5.0.1 and rooted. I do have TWRP installed as well.

I'd like to update to the latest 5.1.1 and didn't unroot to get the little update between these two.

What's the best way to:

Update to the latest
Not wipe either of my storage areas
Not lose any settings
Gain root again

In other words, I'd just like to update and not flash a clean ROM.

I figure I'll probably have to use ODIN but I'm not sure which files to use or where to find them.

Again, I have read all the threads and they all seem to be different with different starting points and different issues.

Thanks in advance.

Unable to upgrade YouTube / Google TV on JVC Smart TV

Hi All, really new to this, not even sure if this is the right place to ask the question...

I have an issue with a JVC smart TV, android 4.4 and the YouTube app that's on there. Apparently YouTube won't be supporting TV apps and I have to upgrade this app via GoogleTV as per this link... [Edit: not allowed to post links?]

But there is an issue. When I upgrade via the app store, I get an issue saying something like "Packet Data Unpack Error, please uninstall the previous version and install this app again". However, since youtube was on the device when I bought it, I can't uninstall this app. Apparently I don't have the right permissions.

Any suggestions?

Moto G (XT1031) No Data 5.0.2 Upgrade

Okay, I've got a boost mobile moto g ( xt1031 ) that was flashed with 5.0.2 from 4.4.4.

I'm not exactly sure what happened, but after a wipe and re-flash I've lost all data connectivity.
3G icon shows at the top still, signal strength still shows full. PRL and Profile update correctly..
Yet there is a "!" over the signal bar.. and no data connectivity.

I've sense flashed back to 4.4.4 ... Same problem.. Everything shows having a connection.. 3G icon.. Full strength.. yet no data.
I flashed the 4.4.4 radio back on it.. same thing..

I've done the ##72786# reset..

So yeah.. I'm at a loss..

Anyone have any clue as to what might have happened?
Or anyway that I might resolve this issue?
