Factory kernel or how to unbrick - Sony Smartwatch 3

I flashed the custom kernel posted here. Also I flashed the custom recovery. The question is that I wiped ALL, and now I dont have OS. I try sony pc utility to flash but not working.
Can someone send me the factory kernel to try to flash is and then mayne sony pc companion will work.
Thanks

Find the restore thread in android development, or my rollback thread in the general section. They have the system images for 5.0.1. They will work no matter what version you are on. But, you will need to roll forward to get to 5.1.3. Then, use classify to back them up.

how to update? Pc Companion not working and update form wear seems to install but not install the last, still in 5.0.1

You will need to get your hands dirty. Fastboot and adb.

Can you be more specific?

Sure. Both threads have all the details, but here is the short of it.
Install the adb and fastboot drivers on your computer using a method appropriate for your computer's Os. I am on Win. 10 so I used the pdanet drivers (for adb on the watch Os and fastboot) and the general Google ones (for adb through twrp).
Put your watch in fastboot mode by putting it in sub mode then pressing the button twice.
Plug your watch into your computer
Open a command prompt
Type fastboot boot (or flash if you already unlocked your boot loader) <twrp.zip>
Reboot to recovery
On your computer type adb push <5.01.zip> sdcard/
On the watch, go into twrp and install the zip.
Reboot.
Let your watch sync and update (or not)
Good luck.

[Q] Phone only starting in Clockwork and Fastboot

After attempting to install franco kernel, my nexus was stuck at the Google logo upon startup. After attempting to recover via clockwork recovery, I found it to be missing (temporary install perhaps?). Currently I have installed clockwork recovery via nexus toolkit. The problem I am now trying to address is that I have no way of putting .zip files on my phone. Some Google searches did not come up with anything quite like this. I am new to this, so any information is good information. Thanks in advance

Your boot image is missing...
When your phone boots in bootloadermode, it should (now, anyway) say: boot.img missing. Or something of that nature. Check this, flash it via fastboot, then everything should be back to normal...
EDIT:
It works with both: CDMA & GSM

do you know how to use fastboot and adb?
Excuse my lack of knowledge, but how exactly do I flash something over fastboot? Thanks in advance again.
Edit: And I do know how to use adb, however it does not connect. I do not know how to use fastboot
After some playing around with fastboot, I now have a basic understanding. However, I am not sure where I should be flashing that file you have linked.
Today, a friend suggested I try mounting via, and copying roms over that way. However, even with all the drivers installed on my computer, I get nothing.
If anyone has ANY insight on this problem, it would be be greatly appreciated. My new toy is a brick at the moment
Thanks in advance!

I'd seriously try to go back to stock first. I'm not a Windows user but if you have adb, fastboot, and your drivers setup, it should be easy. Mark is a great help in this thread and you can use his script I guess:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400871
You need to also realize that if you have wiped everything to install a new rom, you have nothing to boot to. Also there is install-recovery.sh file that keeps re-writing your recovery to stock erasing custom recovery (CWR) until you rename or erase that file. So going back to stock would be the safest and then you can try again.
You can use adb in recovery and fastboot in bootloader. If you have everything setup correctly (sdk, adb, fastboot, drivers for windows) either of these commands should recognize your phone:
In Bootloader (the first screen you see with big arrow on top):
Code:
fastboot devices
In recovery:
Code:
adb devices
If you don't have a recovery, then use the first one. If you see your phone's serial number like this
Code:
List of devices attached
HT12HS005115 device
you can now use it to flash things onto your phone. As I said I am not a windows user so I can't be specific, sorry. But adb and fastboot, once you are at their prompt, should work the same.
In general, when fastboot is recognizing your phone in the bootloader, you can use:
Code:
fastboot flash zip YOURFILENAME.zip
changing yourfilename of course. This zip file could be a stock imaqe or a custom recovery. Again, you need someone with windows to give you exact steps, this is just general stuff.
if your phone is yakju build then you can get the stock images from google.
download and unzip the files to your fastboot folder and use these commands, the file names in these commands are for the Android 4.0.1 (ITL41F) build so you will have to change the filenames if you use a different build.
Code:
fastboot devices (to make sure your phone is connect to fastboot)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip

[Q] Semi-bricked Nexus and not sure what to do

So I made a mistake and I tried to flash the newest aokp build 3 without a backup. I got my new phone a while back and never made a backup.
I flashed build 3 and (accidentally) some old gapps and I kept getting stuck on the Google screen.
Next I tried pushing files through the Gnex tool kit and manually through fastboot. I keep getting errors that there is no insecure boot or that the device is not connected. attempts at a temporary insecure boot on the tool kit fail.
Next I tried a wipe and then just installing build 3 without google apps so I could add the correct one after boot, but it is again stuck.
So now I'm really not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
Rule number 1 : STOP using toolkits!!
now, can you get into cwm recovery?
Yes, I can gt into twrp everything I did except for trying to push the last files was through twrp
by the way, I have a Verizon Nexus
And as a side comment: The tool kit was used as a last ditch effort. The toolkit had nothing to do with bricking the device. The toolkit has been extremely useful for unlocking and rooting multiple devices quickly.
You could eithther try to flash back to stock or you could boot into TWRP & adb push a different ROM. (You did try Wipe Data / Factory Reset right?)

I think what thegtfusion was trying to say was: if you wouldn't have used a toolkit in the past, you would have known how to fix your bootloop.
Buy anyway:
1) Boot into recovery and plug into your PC
2) Open a command prompt (in the folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe)
3) Push the ROM (and kernel if it doesn't come with it) you want to flash to your device: adb push /path/to/ROM.zip /sdcard/
4) Reboot into fastboot mode
5) Erase your old ROM: fastboot erase system
6) Erase your old kernel: fastboot erase boot
7) Reboot into recovery
8) Wipe /data and /cache
9) Flash your ROM & kernel in recovery
10) Reboot. Done.

Screwing up is part of the learning process. It's actually a great way to learn how your phone really works.
Thanks for the reply. For some reason I can't get my device to be recognized on my new computer. I downloaded drivers, adb and fastboot and rebooted everything but it didn't work. I'll have to retry again on my other computer tomorrow.

Drivers
Thanks for the drivers. I uninstalled all of the drivers and used the universal one. Everything seems to work until I run 'adb devices' and my Galaxy Nexus is not listed.
I feel that my device is not getting seen because of something I have wrong, but after adb, fastboot, and the correct drivers I'm not sure.
PS - Even with the universal driver I still have to run adb and fastboot from the original directory that I installed them correct? I don't run them from the driver in anyway correct?

did you install android-sdk (and added adb/fastboot to your $PATH) or are you using binary versions of adb and fastboot downloaded elsewhere?
if it's the latter, commands should be run from the directory where you extracted them.
about the drivers, i think you need to go to device manager and update drivers manually to the ones you installed (refered here in the post before mine), assuming you're on windows.

You're booted into TWRP when trying adb?
Fixed! I ended up booting into recovery and the device was recognized in adb there. I was able to push fresh copies of aokp build 3 and gapps (my original build 3 download started failing) and now I just got done initiating swagger!

Just for understanding, USB debugging is only activated through recovery?
It's also under settings >> developer options so you can use adb while the android is running.

USB Debugging needs to be enabled in Android for ADB to work in Android.
CWM and TWRP have USB Debugging enabled by default, so ADB will work fine in recovery with no other action from the user.

Help I bricked my Oneplus 3

Hi, i played around with my new OP3, and i wanted to root it. Since i'm noob at rooting, it went wrong. (i did it with twrp)
So first it just went in to bootloop, then i was still able to get to rcovery and stuff, but i followed a guide to fix bootloop, and that ****ed it even more up. The guide i followedet told me to use "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool"
After using "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool", i now cant even go into recovery anymore, the only thing i can do is go to bootloader, but when i'm in bootloader now, it wont connect proberly, so that i can use "flash twrp", so that i can use twrp recovery.
Also when i try to boot it, it because of "OnePlus3_Unbrick_Tool" goes into something, where it says "md5 checksum failed", and then restarts and does it again and again.....
I hope it's not bricked forever, pls help ))
have you tried re-flashing the stock or twrp recovery with adb sideload command?
if not give it a shot, it might work.

Just boot into bootloader mode and through command prompt check if your phone is detected by typing fastboot devices. If its detected then you flash a new recovery again. Forget the toolkit, just look for instructions on how to install a custom recovery.

In fastboot mode, did you manage to find your device on the computer? On Linux this is "sudo fastboot devices", on Windows it should be roughly similar.

Hey!
I'm not the expert but I have played with my 1+3 enough to have some knowledge.
First of all, do not use "all in one tools", those do not put you in control.
Cool, so fastboot is detected, though you can't get into the recovery?
Step 1) make sure you have the latest version of "fastboot" and "adb" (Android Debug Bridge) and unlock the bootloader. This tread should be helpfull: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/oneplus-3-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t3398733
You need to do this, because otherwise we will not be able to proceed (i.e. the phone is to be 'unlocked' for what we are about to do).
Step 2) If you are ready than let's flash a new recovery (TWRP):
This is also step 2 in the thread mentioned above. Very important: "Once the flash has completed, Don't use the "Fastboot Reboot" Command Instead Unplug Your phone then Manually boot it into recovery by keeping Power + Volume Down button pressed."
So once you have flashed a new recovery using fastboot, than you should reboot your phone into the new recovery!
step 3)
Once in the new recovery (TWRP) go to advanced and to ADB sideload. Make sure your computer detects your device with the command "adb devices" and flash a new ROM. Just for simplicity use the official OOS 3.2.4.
This should do the trick. Before you go and try make sure you understand EVERYTHING I have written. Let me know if you have questions.

Hey i have the same problem but this fix does not work for me.
So I have the bootloader unlocked and I can enter the bootload and my computer detects my device which is nice.
when I flash twrp on my phone trough CMD it doesnt work, my PC tells me that everything is okay but my phone will not boot into twrp and instead it will give me weird errors.
---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------
this fix worked for me,
On the screen when the phone failed to md5 checksum, you've got several partition failed right? in red text.
- download this : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424942573
and then extract.
- download platform tools attached below. extract in the same folder with first file you've downloaded.
- Boot your phone to fastboot mode, plug your usb, make sure adb and fastboot driver are installed.
- on the folder, hold shift and right click, click open command here
- type fastboot devices
- make sure your serial number appear.
- now flash the img of the missing file according to the partition in red text on your ms5 checksum failed one by one.
- e.g. "fastboot flash boot_aging boot_aging.img.
- make sure you flash all the missing partition.
- type fastboot reboot.
this will boot you to oos 3.1.2.
unfortunately I couldn't extract the newest oos dat. data. but you could always take the OTA
goodluck mate. sorry for my english

Hmm bad try installing all op3 drivers and see whether phone is detected or not. I was in the same situation previously. Pushing zip through adp terminal is painful process. I got device offline first,after solving that i got service not recognized issue. For solving that usb debugging needs to be enabled i stuck in that step.
can you enter recovery trough fastboot mode? I.e. if you are in fastboot mode you van use the volume keys to select recovery.
100% sure you can't enter recovery?
you can try Fast and pro's option. let us know!

Oneplus 3 Boot Loop

So I tried to flash another rom by flashing TWRP and unlocking the bootloader, which worked and I then had installed Freedom Os. Then I locked the Bootloader to get the Message away, but know when you charge it or turn it on it is in an boot loop which repeats the Oneplus Logo what you normally see, but very short and after that it bobrates turns the screen off and it atart again. Or I can go into fastboot mode, but when I try to go into the recovery, it goes into the Boot Loop again. Is there a way to get the Original OS back? Ive already dopwnloaded it but I cant get in on there. Can you tell me how to fix it on my own?
[GUIDE] Mega Unbrick Guide for A Hard Bricked OnePlus 3 > METHOD 1
If you can access fastboot mode, connect the phone to a PC, then go to ADB and erase recovery using the command " fastboot erase recovery" and install TWRP 3.0.4-1 using the command " <fastboot flash recovery <recovery.zip/img> again.
Once you do that, boot into TWRP, go to wipe and wipe everything. Once you do that, transfer the stock OOS into the internal memory using copy-paste , then go to install , select the transferred file to install the OS or else go to advance setting in TWRP and select adb sideload and use the command "adb sideload <filename.zip>".
This should install the OS on the phone.
If you want to go complete stock, then you also need to install the stock recovery. Search the forum to get the relevent files or else you can download it from the OnePlus website and later on update to latest OS via OTA.
NEVER EVER LOCK THE BOOTLOADER , IF YOU'RE USING ANY ROM OTHER THAN STOCK OS AND STOCK RECOVERY

So i've downloaded the software, installed the driver and typed in cmd adb devices "adb devices List of devices attached" is returned, so it seems like there is going something wrong. Is it because the Driver is installed wrong or because "target reported max download size of 440401920 bytes
sending 'recovery' (22605 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.528s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.551s"
This is returned when trying to flash. Do I have to be in fastboot mode or something else to be able to follow your instructions? In Fast Boot is written that the Device State is locked and Secure Boot is enabled. I messaged Oneplus and hope they have a solution which can just unlock the Bootloader when being in fastboot mode, so everything is fine again. I hope you can help me, but I still wanna say thank your for now

Thank you, but it dont works because i forgot to re-enable the oem modification and usb debugging in freedom os, maybe there is an option to do this without having this enabled but I didnt found it. So I wait for a helpful answer from somebody here or from Oneplus, I consider sending my smartphone to oneplus to let them repair it if I cant do it. Just saying that modding an S3, Asus transformer pad and nvidia shield is way easier.

Yeah I'm sorry I can't help you in your case. I'm just stating the fact. Sorry if I offended you.
Shouldn't it still be possible to reflash the properly signed official updates? TBH I never had such a problem and thus never had to cope with it. Same with recovery: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img Try flashing this one with fastboot. It's the official one. By flashing this one you might fix your stuff over adb sideloading the official full update zips.
Try the unbrick guide provided in the 2nd post to your query. It should definitely help. Better contact OnePlus tech2 support and they'll flash your phone for you. They're really helpful.

I already tried to do this, but the console returns something like permission denied.

The MSM Software disconnects the smartphone while the process works
U cannot flash in adb while the bootloader is locked, u can not unlock the bootloader unless u can access ur OS, I am not sure y people was trying to get u to flash via fastboot the answer was provided to u in the 2nd post
^^^ This!
It's pretty much obvious fastboot flash will not work with a locked bootloader.
It's pretty obvious unlocking the bootloader will not work, while one can not access the OS.
Unbrick tool is the only option to bring it back to life, or sending it for RMA. If unbrick tool fails, try using different drivers and make sure it is connected with the stock cable (I've only tried with a Nilkin cable besides the stock one, which always failed at different stages during the process).
Not even sure drivers must be installed manually, I've never done that myself on Windows 10, as they were automatically installed (3 different's PC's, both on x86 and x64).
Which version of stock firmware did you last have? If it was 4.0.1 or earlier, then you can use
Code:
fastboot oem 4F500301
to issue a flash command even without unlocking the bootloader. If you are on that, then use that command and flash stock recovery and then flash stock zip.

I had the most recent update installed. Is there a similar command at the moment?

Don't think so.

Nexus 7 update from 4.3

I just bought a brand new Nexus 7 16 GB wrapped in it's plastic unused. Charged it turned it on, as expected it's on 4.3.
Problem is when I check for updates it says the tablet is up to date and will not update to 6.0 which I believe is the latest this tab will go to.
Question is will this self correct if left on or will I need to manually update using OTA update from a PC. Also if I do need to manually update will I need to find and install every intervening update between 4.3 and 6.0?
It'll be easiest to use the factory image to flash it to 6.0.
If you go the OTA route you'd have to go through every update individually to get to 6.0.

Download ADB from here and install: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Download the image, making sure you have the correct one. I'm assuming you have a Wi-Fi version so it would then be the "Razor": https://developers.google.com/android/images#razor
Boot into the bootloader by powering off, then holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously.
Connect to your computer with the USB cable, open a CMD, or terminal, window and type fastboot oem unlock. That will wipe the device. I don't remember if it reboots automatically afterward. if so boot back into the bootloader the same as before.
Extract the system image. Open the extracted folder then if you're on Windows just double click the flash-all.bat file. after it's done it will ultimately reboot to Android.
-edit: If you're adventurous once in the bootloader you can flash TWRP and the Oreo Go ROM from here.
