Swipe from top-left to bottom-right at the Asus logo. That gets you to fastboot mode, then swipe up and down to change menu items, swipe right to select.
Or you can enable debug mode and use adb reboot recovery.

You are a hero. I have looked for the better part of 2 hours for this. Anyway I'll sideload the LP update and start over. Hopefully somebody can make use of the recovery and boot pulls and get us a working recovery.
I would be very interested in REMOVING the Wellness app. This is the only reason I want root. Guess I will need to wait until we have a root enabled file manager. Alas, I can write in C++ fairly well, but know nothing of coding for android. Be glad to test any recoveries and operating systems on my ZenWatch.

It can be done without a file manager. If you have root, you can enable debugging, connect to a PC by USB, use adb to get a root shell, then adb uninstall package_name.
Edit...Which Benton are you in, BTW. I'm not far from Benton, IL.

Es File Explorer works fine and has an OK interface when on the watch. Also the KingRoot app that gets pushed has an uninstaller too for system apps. The biggest issue I've had is that when the prompt to allow root comes up you can not select allow. You have to cover the screen to back out, then go into KingRoot and open the log, then select the app you want to allow and set it to always allow. You have to do this after the initial failed prompt.
Edit: Freeport, IL here. Worlds a small place.
File Types?

You have to download the normal phone apk from apkmirror or some other site and use adb to sideload it. Google sideloading apps to Wear, should work the same for any watch. Otherwise you can buy Apps2Wear on the play store. I have done that because its more convenient.
Ok, went through the whole process, is there a way to check root access using ADB?
You should have KingRoot app installed on your watch. That will tell you if you have root. I imagine you could try to pull some files from /system or something that would normally not be accessible. I wouldn't recommend writing to system yet. I soft bricked by watch just by pasting a modified build.prop over the original, trying to turn off low bit depth ambient mode.
Root confirmed, having issues side-loading the ES File explorer apk, though. I'm using the App2Wear method. Still trouble shooting.

Make sure you have adb debugging and adb bluetooth debugging enabled on watch. Make sure you have usb adb debugging turn on on phone. Then make sure you have bluetooth debugging turn on in Wear app. Make sure you do these in that order because the toggle in the wear app wont show up unless you have debugging enabled on phone first.
This is the KingRoot file you need for windows.

Attached is the latest ES File Explorer APK
EDIT: I rebooted everything, and worked fine. Funny how rebooting fixes so many issues... Will test when side-load is completed.
EDIT 2: Looks like its gonna take a long time. Gonna go do dishes and whatnot and be patient.

Sorry, they are .img. They were pulled using Flashify. The extension must have been stripped when I uploaded them to Drive.

ES is 28 MB when installed, according to App2Wear, that should be 45-60 minutes to install.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 PM ----------
If it fails this time, I will connect it to ADB with command line and manually push the apk onto the watch. I will give it until after dinner to complete the process.
Cant get it to install, and adb says its an invalid apk file when i try to push it. I suppose its not really necessary anyway. Ill just use KingRoot app if I need to do file management.

Did you confirm the apk was good? I'd try installing it on your phone. I don't think KingRoot has file management capabilities.
On a side note, I would advise against uninstalling anything. I just went to flash the previous OTA and it failed because I didn't have Jawbone installed.
HTC desire HD I am not sure of configuration I can not look at anything or even change or delete anything I did not even know she did it till I tried to root it myself I looked at the my app in play store and chainDD is instaled as well as hide my root, along with busy box, cryomods,rom manager anyway i want control back and to see what she is doing. I can not do a factory rest all that does is reset the APN all the apps and setting are the same. Neither does booting in recovery it shows me there is a image but when I try to load it it says there is no file or cant access the file. I tried flashing a new rom today it says need root access or root access denied. as well as hiding the su and binaries the are several other apps that are hidden. I tried that show or find hidden admin apps it scanned for all of about half a second and came back no hidden apps. some of my apps do not even do what they are supposed to. I am a noob all I know is what I have learned because of this. Please help!!!!
If your recovery gives you those messages I think you have a stock recovery.If she has root your phone by unlocking your bootloader she should have use a custom recovery to flash a superuser app.This means she could have restore the stock recovery on purpose or she has use some exploit to get the root.
Shutdown you phone and press (power button)+(vol- button) [Do not let them untill you see your bootloader]
Download ace tools from here.
Make sure you have HTC drivers installed.
After that open a cmd prompt and go to the folder you extracted the ace tools.(If you are using windows7 or later press shift+right click-->open with cmd)
Then give the command
Code:
fastboot getvar all
And copy-paste the results here (except your IMEI number).

If your bootloader is unlocked with HTC_DEVs way you should see in your bootloader screen an ***Unlocked*** status.
(Your bootloader status could be locked/relocked/unlocked)

As long as she has root your device without you know about that she could spying all your messages,calls and all your personal stuff you have inside.She could also take control of your device and even if you find what she is doing to remotly erase all the important clues from an other device.Be carefull.

It's LG G4 H815 UK.

Your port is closed, please check device manager>port and instead of com4 that being request why send command on com5?
Not entirely sure what you mean?
When I click on ports.bat in my adb folder it says it sees the device on port 5.
I'm lost.....please help:crying:
Here's another screenshot with it showing port 4....but still it fails to get the ID of the phone to enter into LG website to get code.
I get to this point in the screenshot below, where i have to enter "id" but nothing happens...just a blinking cursor when i enter id and press enter.
Any ideas?
thanks

Download twrp 3.0.2.0 and save it in the same place as your adb files , then open a command window by holding shift and right mouse click and do these commands -
adb devices
(This will check if the device is connected you should see a number next to device)
adb reboot bootloader
(This simply reboots your phone ready to flash)
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-h815.img
(Make sure the twrp name is the same as the command)
Hit enter and you should have twrp installed on your device...

I rooted my j6+ with magisk patched boot.img
Im sure you know the steps but just in case,
1. Do a full backup, cz you'll need to reset your device after rooting
2- go to dev options and turn on oem unlock
3- download magisk manager
4- download the rom of your device, extract it, then open ap with 7zip,extract the boot.img.lz4 with 7 zip standard
5- place the boot.img on your j6+
6- open magisk manager, it'll ask you if you want to install, press no thanks.
7- go to magisk settings, scroll down to patched image output format, select img.tar
8- go back to main menu, select install, then select boot.img file, then select the img you placed on your device.
After it finish patching, go to download mode and flash the patched img through Odin.
This worked for me

4- Firstly, downloaded .zip file has many files (AP, CP, BL, HOME_CSC). Which file contains 'boot.img.lz4' file and how to extraxt from .md5 file?
5- How to get boot.img from boot.img.lz4 file? Will renaming the file work?
6- Does magisk work on a no-rooted device?
1.Extract the zip, then open ap as zip, copy boot.img.lz4 to desktop
2.download 7 zip standard, it can extract the lz4 archives.
3. After your extract the image, place it on your device
4. Download magisk manager and launch it
5. When You launch magisk, it will ask if you want to install, press no.
6. go to settings in magisk, scroll down to patch boot.img format, select img.tar
7. Go back to magisk, uncheck preserver force encryption, select install, then choose patch boot.img
8. Magisk will ask to locate your boot img, choose the img you placed on your device.
9. After magisk finish patching, the new img will be placed in downloads folder.

Next question, where to find TWRP recovery for SM-J610F?
---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
I did not try this method. But, i'm gonna do it soon, because i did it from AndroDef's thread.
He already uploaded for ARJ3, but i had ARIM. But, i'm switching back to ARIM and will surely try this method and will share my experience.
There isn't any custom recovery released for this device yet,but i already submitted a request in TwrpBuilder project a month ago, hope they'll do it soon, you can check it here, it's at the buttom (47,it's the 3rd oldest request)
https://twrpbuilder.github.io/downloads/twrp/#tab=inQueue
Also you can check the completed builds to see if the twrp building for the device is finished.

So, it's time to wait then.
How do you remove bloatware?

If you're interested, could you try this out? Just make sure you have the stock firmware to hand in case of any issues.

If it fails (i hope, it won't), it will take me long to setup my device again.

It's a partial success:
SUCCESS
1- Recovery flash is success (odin did not boot into recovery, instead loaded os).
2- After loading android, did a boot into recovery, it loads twrp recovery
FAILURE
3- TWRP recovery does not respond to touch or hardware keys
4- Device keeps booting into twrp recovery
5- Seems to be stuck in recovery mode
Brilliant.................................................................

Reverting to custom recovery, done.
Device is normal again.
A partial success though.
Might be issues with kernel, or something else.....
With your skills and my device, it can be done in a blink of an eye.

I'm pretty sure I can fix the touch issues.
Is ADB functional?

If adb works could you do:
adb pull / tmp/recovery.log

Well if you need custom recovery for xposed, there's xposed module in magisk that can be installed without twrp. I'm already using it and have multiple modules (gravitybox, xprivacy and greenify), all running without problems. For debloating, after your root the device, go to google play and download an app called system app remover, it'll show you all apps on your j6+. Select the apps you want to remove and press uninstall. After uninstallation is done, reboot your device

Sure, but never worked with samsungs. It's my first regular samsung device. Never liked exynos and cortex combo, but it's different.
Last time tried to push recovery.img via adb and it did not work. I have root and root explorer app installed. Where is that log located in system partition. I'm not an skilled linux coder guy but i have serious history with androids and palms.

Could not find /tmp/recovery.
But did find /cache/recovery folder, that contains last_log.1 and last_log.2 files
