Can't install OTA's - Sony Smartwatch 3

After months of not being able to use my watch, I finally got it fixed and now it is booting... I cannot install any updates though I went ahead and got a full log from twrp that way you can see whats going on.
Recovery.log
and the Sony companion app does not work, I feel like the only thing that will work is a updated repacked ROM. If someone was to create that and it worked, I will be willing to donate.

I just flashed the "Repacked ROM" from the Android Develoment section and still nothing

The watch needs to have stock recovery, not be rooted and I think have a locked bootloader to sideload a OTA file

[Q] Please help me get a usable phone again

I decided to try cyanogenmod on my SGH-I747 but have had so many issues I would be happy at this point if I could just get a working phone again.
I started with a 4.3 OTA-updated phone. I rooted the phone, then tried to install the latest 10.2 ROM. I also tried 10.1. I used CWM: I would have preferred the latest version but the best I could find that was not an .img file (I used Odin) was in the 5.x range. In both cases I hit what I believe is a bootloader error ("assert failed: ... Status 7"). At this point the phone is wiped with no recourse. I attempted to install the stock boot image for the I747, but after doing so the phone will no longer boot.
EDIT: I am able to get to downloading mode. I am afraid to use it to install stock firmware b/c of a post I found here claiming that downgrading from 4.3 OTA (e.g., to 4.1) will brick the phone.

i actually had the same problem earlier today. what i did was use odin to install clockworkmod recovery. after it reboots, hold VOLUME UP and HOME at the same time. if you have a micro sd handy, download any of the two updates here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233 place them on you sd card and in recovery format cache and factory reset/data. then highlight "install zip from sd card" or something that sounds relevant. select the zip you placed on your sd card earlier and there.
Worked, I think

Thank you. The phone now boots to a white screen with an AT&T symbol. How can I install either a stock or custom ROM without ruining everything again?

That appears to be the standard tutorial for rooting/flashing. I did it anyway, even though didn't the file you had me install before already root the phone? In any event, I ran CF-root and then I attempted to install CM 10.2 and it failed: "failed to verify whole-file signature." I believe that was the first error I hit in the beginning of this exercise. Additionally, now I get an error on the welcome screen that says "Unfortunately, SuperSU has stopped."

Thanks for the suggestion. I went back to the no-KNOX file you pointed out earlier. I assume that is the same type of file as the CF-Root so I assume I don't need to install CF-root anymore after installing the no-KNOX file. So now I follow the tutorial from your second response minus the root step. I no longer get the SuperSU error. However, I still can't load a ROM. I get the same "assert failed... getprop("ro.bootloader... Status 7" that I mentioned in my first post. When I googled this in the first round, I saw several posts saying it means I had a bad bootloader. That is when I tried to flash the stock bootloader, which nearly hardbricked the phone. Do the two files you initially posted include a bootloader file?

ohh ho ho it's true alright. the new 4.3 bootloader, i'm guessing it is mjb, doesn't allow any downgrades. Downgrades of any kind will absolutely give you a nice, good brick. anyways do you understand how to go from 4.3 leaked to 4.3 official?

No idea. I went ahead and tried to install the I747UCDLK3_aio.tar.md5, which I hoped was a 4.3 bootloader (don't know how you are supposed to tell). The error I got was this was another failure--this time saying the package was for d2att and this is a d2spr. My phone is definitely not a sprint phone. Some posts say I have to update the build.prop file, but I don't know how I can do that before a ROM is even installed.

If you have custom recovery and root the ota update obviously wont work. I had asked the developer of root for our devices for the otas and this is what he had said:
dalingrin said:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.
If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

Yeah there is a script that runs when you do a OTA. My buddy had to completely restore to stock using download mode to fix his. You may get lucky with doing a factory wipe but sounds like flashing a new rom didn't even help... Look through the forums and find the thread that guides you through doing a regular restore (this will restore you to the original software. You will be unrooted and your recovery will go back to stock. This means you can do the OTA if you so desire. Just keep in mind it may block Loki and root)

Thanks for the reply mate,
Yeah i will do like that , but surely there is a way somewhere to remove the boot loop , from TWRP you can remove edit files.
So if someone with more knowledge tell us where the OTA files give the command to boot to recovery we can remove it.

Just tried the update to a stock (but rooted) Gpad
At 3% installing, error 0x13E
After booting, a samsung-like:laugh: message:
"This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device"
Fortunately this tablet is not mine... This tablet needs a "google edition" update ASAP
Maybe somebody could cook this update into a package that can be flashed by people who are on stock, but rooted?
I am on stock, rooted, but the update went fine.

SuperSU and Stock Recovery

is there away to install SuperSU when you have stock recovery? I'm thinking that we have to have either CWM/TWRP to install the zip. or am I having a brain fart on this.....
Thanks for whomever can clear my cobwebs..
You need a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM).

You can install it if you have the bootloader unlocked.
Use boot command instead of flash to boot into custom recovery and install su.
e.g
Fastboot boot twrp.img

Yes, this.
However, why bother keeping stock recovery at all? Stock recovery is effectively neutered once rooted, as you can no longer install an OTA.

Sounds like somebody that is a bit ill-informed. They want root, but they probably also want OTA (the 2 don't go together, IMO) and heard that you need stock recovery for OTA. I suppose they can change everything back that they modified with root, and unroot or hide root to install the OTA. But it just seems they are making life more complicated than it needs to be.
Also sounds like its a person that wants root, but not willing to do it themselves. But I suppose that's not really your problem!
Option to root and have ota is very easy :
Stock rom (unmodified but rooted)
Stock recovery
And you can ota. The ota will probably delete superuser but that's about it. The ota will not fail because its rooted as long as the stock rom/apps are unmodified

I don't understand that statement. I still run stock sense, but with a few additions that don't affect ota's. So I still get updates while having things configured the way I want. I can also run things that require root such as titanium backup and a few others.

Because once you accept an OTA, you will be unrooted. You will have to root again, either by installing custom recovery (than back to stock recovery so you can OTA) or the trick of booting custom recovery via adb to flash SU (as described here). Its just a lot of jumping through hoops with little added value.
On the other hand, if you have custom recovery installed, you can flash any of the array of stock rooted or awesome custom ROMs posted here. This includes stock rooted ROMs taken from OTA updates from lots of versions (often posted within days of the OTA starting to roll out), not just your carrier, so you can possibly get an update much faster than waiting for the OTA to roll out from your carrier (although that depends on what carrier version you have). You also don't have to constantly be worried "well, if I change this I won't get OTAs". You can do whatever the heck you want, and isn't that really the whole point of root?
Its just my opinion. And a lot of this may stem from the fact that I'm on AT&T, who are not only agonizingly slow about rolling out OTAs (sometimes 3-4 months or even later than other carriers on my past HTC device) and have even went to the effort to close exploits and prevent unlocking of bootloaders when rolling out new OTAs (on the One X EVITA). In fact there was even a bug (I assume it was a bug - others may accuse that it was intentional) where installing the Jellybean OTA with SuperCID and S-on bricked the phone.
As I said, its just an opinion. But there are many others on XDA that will agree that OTAs have no place on rooted Android devices.
And to be fair, I did cover myself and stated "there is little point" instead of "there is no point"

not sure what to do from here?

ok, I got stock 4.4.4 but with root, bootloader is locked..
I wanna be able to receive the OTA update what do I need to do in order to be able to receive that?
or do I need to unlock the bootloader, install a recovery and flash lollipop threw that?
If you have stock system, kernel, and recovery, (no altered system files, either) being rooted won't keep you from getting the OTA. Locked/unlocked bootloader doesn't matter. If you rooted with SuperSu, just use its settings to uninstall root (you'll lose it anyway). However, I think you have to unlock bootloader to reroot, which, of course, will wipe your device. The OTA zip is now available for adb sideload if you're interested.
nvm got stock recovery back on, lol still learning, is it better to side load or can i use flash stock + unroot on the nexus root toolkit v1.9.3 to do the same?

OTA won't wipe regardless of how you get it--over the air or sideloaded. Wug's will wipe unless you tell it not to (Options>Flash Stock>Enable no wipe). He also has the LRX21P build available. IMO, one way isn't better than another.
ok, I just tried to sideload and looks like i got a driver issue :\ lol followed the steps in the installation guide and did the test.. it works great up till i go into stock recovery and hit sideload lol then it disconnects and tells me no driver found...
i might just try flash stock + unroot and choosing LRX21P, that wont lock my bootloader correct? and should I be a little worried that the driver cant be found for that specific thing? thanks for all the help btw!
You probably already did all this, but you have to specifically send command to lock boot loader. I don't get how your device wasn't recognized through stock recovery but is on NRT, but it doesn't matter. Just use the kit which is what you probably did.
What you should do is back up what you need and want, then unlock the bootloader. You're not gonna get root without it on Android L since it requires a custom kernel.

Based on this, I assumed you unlocked your bootloader since first posting. NRT recognizes the device, right? Have you gotten it all sorted out yet.
idk why adb sideloading would kick the connection out, then the pc would say nexus 7 but wrong driver?, anyways i just went ahead and flashed the factory image using flash stock + unroot since I had it all backed up anyways, and that went great now I got lollipop on it, and should be able to root no probs now
thanks everyone, I hope i dont have a issue with adb again, im not sure if it was the samsung cord or what but it kept disconnecting at that part asking for a driver.. funny thing everything from bootloader, fastboot and all worked great with the driver that I installed using the steps in the toolkit..
Glad it's all good. Root with the toolkit. Just for the heck of it, you may want to try running CMD from wug's ADB folder. I've experienced just the opposite with older versions of the kit. NRT wouldn't recognize device. I'd go to CMD and device recognized. Return to NRT, all good again.
alrighty will do!, thanks for all your help

Yea, I think a lot of us who rooted, can't get back to a regular, "never been rooted" device. None of the OTA seems to work.
If you can download the update, you can try to use the SD Update feature done here.

I can use twrp to flash the original rom or i need to do the step that was un that link
It tells you the problem. Your fingerprint is from .18, and it's expecting to find .20.
Easiest way is to flash the .18 pre-rooted image.
Reboot, DO NOT update SuperSU binary.
Take OTAs as they come up. If it doesn't show up, download and install through sideload in stock recovery.
They'll work and you won't get that fingerprint issue.
