Received my UK version today from Amazon!!
Well pleased!
Screen is a little small and it's true.. the bezels are massive. I can't understand why Huawei didn't make them useful.
But overall not bad...
Just waiting for the LG Watch to arrive, if it's better and within 30 days then this might go back..
One frustration is that android pay needs a lock screen whereas the LG Watch sport has a proximity sensor so it doesn't lock if worn

As for the lock screen to use Android Pay: After you put the watch on and UNLOCK it, it will stay unlocked while the watch remains on your wrist. At least that is how it is working on mine, and I have the US BT version.

Hi Geeky Guy,
Sorry to bother you but is there any chance you can upload your Huawei Watch 2 ROM?? We all have here Chinese ROM not able to have our watches in english and only ROM found so far is for 4G version. Your US BT version will be more than perfect for all of us... [emoji1]

I might be able to do that, if you tell me how to pull it. Then tell me where to post it.

hello guys,
just wake up and see this good news!!!
let's see if we can get our goal.
As because there is no TWRP for HW2, the only way to push english ROM into watch is to flash image files one by one with adb commands.
Before to do this we have to get .img files.
Rom Fastboot Images are: bootloader, boot, cache, recovery, system, userdata. this based on what we saw about HW2.
I have done the procedure with my HW1th gen. and the only images needed was : boot, recovery and system..... enough in my opinion.... but let's say we need all 6 images.
In easy words adb command to dump img is "dd", but there are things to know before you use it.
do you already know something about adb? have you tried to do some tasks with commands?
regards
Been a minute since I have dd anything if you can give me the commands and am I going to need to root. I know certain devices do not allow dumping without root. Put the commands and I will make everyone non US dreams come true.

hi GeekyGuy,
I saw in other post you already pull files, can you do the same task here for us ?
I am wondering there are some things to know about that are quite heavy to write here in one post....... so if someone is already theached will be easy and fast for sure...
regards

I would be more then happy to help need the DD commands to pull to computer vs SD card. You provide that I'll give you the files you need. Realize I don't need them I am trying to help you good sir. So if you could get the commands I will get the files.
From what I understand, root is the minimum requirement to dump the system file.

On the other hand, adb should allow to pull the ota update image which should be sufficient in most case.

thanks for that mate, i will PM you, but for the Benefit of those who might be following the thread and run into the same issues, let me say i have tired SuperOneClick and it failed and also tried Unlock Root and it failed, so i searched the net for hours until i came across a Chinese site (had to translate it) and it says that the phone needs to be bootloader unlocked first, and the Huawei site can do that for you if you give them the required info like S/N and IMEI of the phone and so forth, and the process takes 3days so im waiting to see what happens,i will update accordingly,
for now thats the only way i think i can get to root the phone, if there is any other way please let me know.

You are welcome mate, i have been reading on it from the Chinese site and it seems the unlocking of the bootloader is a must and at present only the Huawei site can help with that, and please note, the "global" part of the site doesn't have the phone but the chinese part of the site has the phone and the original updated firmware and kernel, if you ever need it. I am on day two of my wait, will keep you and all who are in the same boat, posted.

Make sure your phone unlocked and installed Recovery.
1.Copy the attachment"Root-U8825D.zip" into your phone(internal SD or external SD)
2.Power off
3.Press V+ and Power button the same time, go into Recovery
4.Select the "root-u8825d.zip" and install it.
5.Restart
You will find the Super user then.
Good luck
If you have unlocked your bootloader and need help with rooting and getting clock work mode, or still need help in unlocking the bootloader please feel free to pm me, and if you also need roms for this phone please pm me,I will be happy to help where I can. Wish you all the best.

Hi,
i just got one during a trip to china. I managed to unlock the bootloader (thanks to your information).
However, I can't get the Root-U8825D.zip installed. I get the following:
...
E:signature verification failed
E: update fail and delete temp files
Formatting /cache
Installation aborted.
Anyone experienced and solved this? I tried loading the .zip from different sources, but same result each time?
Thanks!
I am trying to get back to complete stock, anyone know how I can get a Odin image? Thanks
I'm 99.9 percent sure the only published firmware for your hardware is actually the GT-N8020. I to have the sch-i925. This is the verizonized GT-N8020 sold everywhere else in the world but the US. Bad news is we are stuck until Adam Outler and team unlocks our bootloader.
Once this is acomplished and a proper recovery installed we will have the options you seek.
Good news is Adam received his I925 just a few days ago and is activly working with a team to resolve the issue.

I have a an unopened SCH-I925 if your just looking for original files that you maty have edited such as build prop or apns etc. Otherwise you should just reset device. Only files you have modified with root in the system are not restored with factory reset.

UPDATE: Soft unbrick Verizon I925
Guys here is a small update on my case.
Good News: The soft bricked I925 is once again working with certain limitations. I had mariosraptor (post credits to him) install a clean non verizon N8020 version on it.
Bad News: Despite the fact that sim card gets recognized, it does not gets activated. Another possible problem "haven't yet figured out" is GPS.
Things to clear out...
I really don't know if I had the bootloader changed while trying to recover it at the beginning. In Odin's download mode, the model refers as GT-N8010 and not as SCH-I925. Members can validate thought...

I would help to be a tester as well! And I'm not sure how much this information helps, but a dev, Adam Outlier helped make CASUAL, which was the one click root for this device. After the OTA update, it no longer works due to a libusb -12 error or something. I tried doing as much research as I could and all I could come up with (not sure how accurate it is) is that the error is due to the computer not being able to gain access to the tablet to use heimdall. We've posted debug files on his page, but he hasn't responded not posted on that page in a while. Thanks so much for your help! :fingers-crossed:

I'll upload the files either today or tomorrow and post a link on here.

***for other new people to flashing etc***
As an update, got through process of using flashboot and sideload for the fist time which I am thinking of uploading a YouTube video on this which may explain a few things which has taken me a long time figure out by myself - or it could be just me???
I did get to a stage where I was stuck on the HTC logo and was still able to get into the recovery boot screen etc. I found out that I had at somestage while trying clockwork mod or cynogen, had deleted / formatted the system (sorry for the laymans terms). Anyway, managed to install an old stable cynogen mod rom on to the mobile which was fun for awhile until I wanted to update and the path / directories for the update weren't valid, giving me a status 6 error.
I thought it was a bit strange as the updater script was the same.
So I went back and reformatted the mobile through cynogen, wiping the cache / data etc and then used the ADB sideload to install the latest 2016 nightly cynogen mod which works. I will also say that it is a very good and basic version without all the Google rubbish.

I did get to a stage where I was stuck on the HTC logo and was still able to get into the recovery boot screen etc. I found out that I had at somestage while trying clockwork mod or cynogen, had deleted / formatted the system (sorry for the laymans terms). Anyway, managed to install an old stable cynogen mod rom on to the mobile which was fun for awhile until I wanted to update and the path / directories for the update weren't valid, giving me a status 6 error.
I thought it was a bit strange as the updater script was the same.
So I went back and reformatted the mobile through cynogen, wiping the cache / data etc and then used the ADB sideload to install the latest 2016 nightly cynogen mod which works. I will also say that it is a very good and basic version without all the Google rubbish.

The link for Silent Circle Source Code
Just go to the support.blackphone.ch website and search for "Where is Blackphone's source code"
This will take you to a github silent circle page

Sorry again for the late reply. Trying to finish off the assignments for university this weekend.
Re: Link (https) ota-update.blackphone.ch/blackphone-4.4.2-1449161691.zip
I received confirmation from Silent Circle that this is the latest - (I have an account with them)
Hoping the Mega file link works - let me know.
Blackphone OTA 4.4.2-1449161691.zip
Have a great weekend.
Mega link does not work as it asks for a decryption key.
OTA zip works, but within all files are dated June 2014.
Help Me please
I have the Blackphone BP1 model handset from silent circle,it's powerfull it's good for privacy privatos isn't bad for the anti privacy features side,but the lack of google services has driven me crazy,I'm an end user I try to contribute if I find any mods along my path to modding things and have placed some tutorials online in the past,xda forums included,but I have a bit of a dilema I'm no developer and I just cut my contract sim off I have a freedompop sim to my horror it uses google services to enable the app to use it this is not present in privatos can anyone instate google services for third party apps please or develop a moded rom to make it google so I can use my contract sim.
---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------
Basically the best way is probably modding a blackphone 2 firmware which has google play services to work with the blackphone bp1 device surely it can be done??? I'd do it if I were a developer but I lack any tuition in the field,but I'd love to learn how,the only drawback is I suffer short term memory loss only very few things stick in memory,they are usualy hands on repetition training,I am theoretically a computer technician but no formal certification,and I have picked up the modding thermal mods and software mods,eg.flashing and rebuilding rom based os's when damaged but this is a totaly different field for the uninitiated,android file structure alone is daunting enough to make me think it's too much to remember,but I allways persevere and that's the only life lesson or educational school lesson I remember a motto "perseverance is the key,if at first you don't succeed then try try and try again" And in modding I will happily sit a day and not give up then come back to it I'll persevere until I get the answer is no or wow it just worked,but I wouldn't often remember the exact process click for click,so when I hit the mark and figure it out I try to drop a tutorial out there for others,just hoping someone can help me here as I am absolutely out of my depth,I use other tools prefabricated to get my mods done and there are none in place I know for this phone,it's the only thing I have I can't get the better of right now.And it's kind of a challenge I want to win at lol.Any help would be advantageous guys so chip in if you can,must be thousands of people need help with this but lack the expertise.Pm me if you would like to offer some advice if you need to thanks in advance love the site and the passion the devs here show,just wish I could contribute more.:good: Pc and laptop diagnostics hardware software I'm here for you but development software wise it's above my head and I'm out of my depth unfortunately.Show me an inch of how and I'll somehow make a mile usually though.I'm MOD1T or modit as I call my self on youtube,formerly I went by ouyashimming lol,no idea why?Because I liked the novelty of ouya and trying to get the best from it before it dissipated as a brand.Now I'm into the shield android tv console,check it out forgive the lack of skills in the editing and my narration in videos but some one or two say nifty hardware mods in there.

Yes, it would be the best base. Blackphone may have put other proprietary feautures within PrivatOS that are incompatible with other phones (like in the kernel). Don't get your hopes up good luck though

thanks,
unfortunately download is exclusive, need to pay for that.
I think the best one is 2.1.7 firmware general (multilanguage for sure).
anyway, about to flash, I cant determinate method, it is zip file but maybe there are images inside, if this, we need to use adb command (quite easy).
will wait for someone that can upload images by a normal link, and maybe a working recovery too, just in case files need to be flashed.

Exe file? Very strange for a firmware.....
Anyway, happy is working for you.
Maybe in the spirit of xda you can upload it......... But I never see an exe file as firmware, not for watch and not for phones.
Maybe I'm wrong...... Nevermind

hello,
by the firmware name looks it is correct or let's say...it should be, but....to download from that link you need to pay and to test if is correct or not it is a risk.......
back to your question: normally to flash firmware you need to have .img files, with adb command you can push into watch from pc.
if file is zip, first you have to install recovery (watch) and by that you can flash file into .
our fellow-friend wildlime says that the one from the link is an exe file (quite strange for me, but that's it), in this case I dont know how to do, most probabably by pc cause you cant run exe files from watch....
to be more clear try to check this out ( credit to rickboy324 for the good job and help) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-watch/general/tutorial-complete-guide-how-to-flash-t3307137
DO NOT try with files included on the link I gave you, that is for HW 1st generation, rom are different from HW2. keep it just to understand how it normally works.
anyway, we have to wait some screenshot to be sure about, or, better than better, file uploaded here for free..

Thanks for the reply.
I'll wait until a more concrete solution comes up to change the language to English.
In the meantime, I will just use the Chinese for now.

the only way to change language is to change firmware, chinese HW watches has only chinese language.
I think is question of time, there will be here someone able to pull images by adb command, I cant cause I am in China with a chinese watch......
hitting thanks button is more than welcome
regards
How are you installing the apps for the HW Watch 2?
I only see a few Chinese apps on the Huawei APP store on the watch.
How is there no WeChat or more apps?
I'm using Android Wear (US version) on my iPhone to connect to the watch.
I hope that wildlime person is not joking and is willing to share.

hello,
first, if u use iphone, android wear is only one, so it is ok.
second, you dont need to have apps into watch, with iphone you can only receive notifications on watch even if there are no apps inside.
if you want to install apps into watch you have to do with adb command (adb install nameoftheapp.apk). you have to extract from the original apk ONLY micro.apk. you will find in "res" and than "raw" folder.
example: if you want to play with watchmaker, you have to install it into iphone from apple store, than you have to download an apk from the net. after you have watchmaker apk in your pc, open it with 7zip or similar, you will find "res" folder, open it and you will find "raw" folder. inside it there is micro.apk, pull this apk out and install it by adb command into watch. this is the way phone interact with watch with this app.
this is for almost all apps you want into watch.
about wechat, you cant install into watch, there is no micro.apk inside and the whole apk it wont work. again, with iphone, no need, you will just receive notifications (without the name of the sender..... just message receive....)
back to the topic of this treath, i am downloading file from our friend, i will check and report later.

Warning: Currently, the tool seems to be unable to have the ads permanently go away, so each time you restart they come back. You will have to run the tool everytime you device restarts until I can find a permanent solution. There has to be away to do it
Hello, XDA. Today I'd like to share a lil' batch script (that has a ****ty name I thought of in 2 seconds) I wrote that will remove those stupid advertisements Amazon decided to place on your lockscreen. It isn't hard to use, but if you really don't understand what you're doing you can read the read me, which has steps on how to use the script. Enjoy, I guess. Sorry, if this is a bad first post, I'm pretty new around here. DL: https://share.dmca.gripe/tuOMTWM7uNfpl2MH.zip
Hi, sn0wf
The problem with this tool is the method it uses is not a permanent solution to remove the ads. pm clear only removes the data and cache for the Amazon Special Offers apk. the offers app will rebuild the cache and the ads will come right back. I have to give you credit for this tool however! It is very clean and snappy!

Ok, well that is pretty fantastic! sn0wf you can update Rortiz's tool and make it freaking awesome! You got this!!
Updated the main post with a DL to the fixed version that works permanently. Btw, I could use some testers as currently all I have is a Kindle Fire HD 8 (7th gen) running FireOS 5.3.6.4 so amy claim that it works on 5.6 is only based on from what I've heard. If any of you would like to try latest version of my tool with other versions of FireOS please do so.
Edit: Even deleting the file does seem to work permanently. Will find a way to do this ASAP.
Edit 2: Further testing shows that the method the new version uses doesn't function as well as the old version so for the time being I'm gonna change the DL to the older version.
