I'm trying to install Wear 2.0 Developer Preview 3 on Huawei Watch. I'm currently using Developer Preview 2, so I thought I'd be familiar with the flashing process.
Anyhow, all the tutorials I managed to find include a part with running a flash-all.bat, which for some reason isn't included in the preview image package I downloaded from https://developer.android.com/wear/...ampaign=android_discussion_wearpreview_092916 .
Where can I get the flash-all.bat?
Edit: Umm, I decided not to go with DP3 at least for now. I thought I'd return to the official stock firmware, but how do I perform the flashing? Do I manually have to edit the file names in flash-all.bat to match the file name of the stock rom's name? Does it matter that the stock rom came as a .tgz even though the files mentioned in the flash-all.bat are .img and .zip? Damn this is confusing, and googling isn't helping at all...
This page is what I'm using as a guide. Worked fine though did take a bit to get the flash-all.bat to run. All files are included in the downloads. Top download is preview image. Bottom is to go back to stock.
https://developer.android.com/wear/preview/downloads.html
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
The stock download from that page does not contain a flash-all.bat.
I used stock download for flashing and ewerything goes just fine. Just extract all packages in same folder. But if you are interested use this link http://rootjunkysdl.com/files/?dir=Huawei Watch/Firmware. There is all revisions.

The downloadable files there are .tgz and do not include any .bats or .zips (I tried opening with 7-Zip).

You have to extract .tgz file too. And all files has to be in same folder beore flashing.

Personally, I would be grateful if someone can provide me with the set of documents already downloaded and extracted; and, if I am not asking too much, to please give me a dumbman's procedure to get the Wear 2 software to work on my watch.
Having to now wait until early 2017 will surely drive me crazy!

Hi,
Is there any Google official page with Nexus roms?
The only thing I found over the internet was direct links for downloading ZIP file.
For example:
http://android.clients.google.com/p...9.signed-takju-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.cda87c8b.zip
2. Second question:
In this page - https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
What are these meaning? What are they for? Any of it is the actuall rom that can be flashed on a NEXUS device?
Nexus Binaries
Nexus Factory Images
Thanks
You answered your own question.
The 2nd link you provided are the official Nexus firmware. The instruction to flash them are written on the page itself.
The binaries are proprietary hardware drivers if you want to build your own rom.

Thanks. What makes me confused is that in all guides, the link that provided for downloaind the ROM/version, is a ZIP file. while in Google Factory Images page it is TGZ file.
For Example:
Link that I saw in internet guides - http://android.clients.google.com/p...9.signed-takju-JWR66V-from-JDQ39.cda87c8b.zip
And in Google page:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jdq39-factory-5e273f02.tgz
Thanks
Google firmwares have to be flash using fastboot, they are not rom zip files.

The zip is flashable via a recovery, while the .tgz is not. The tgz must be extracted on a computer using winrar (or something similar). Inside you will find .img files which you can flash with fastboot.
That is a graet explanation, thanks
So just curios - In Google page I saw only TGZ files that can be flashed via FASTBOOT.
Where I can find ZIP files of STOCK nexus firmwares? Is there any Google page for that?

Just to be clear, you don't flash the actual tgz with fastboot... You flash the .img files found inside.
And i believe that link you have is a Google site.

Is there any tool to extract system.img?
UPDATE:
I found a way how to do it.
I used sgs4ext4fs by Chainfire to modify system.img and after that Ext2explore to extract files from modified system.img .
Also if anyone is interested how to extract hidden.img, first you need to modify it with sgs4ext4fs and after that use sgs2toext4. Then you can open modified hidden.img with ext4_unpacker and extract files from it.

bare with me on that one since I tried too many different options, following worked for me - required files attached here (I ziped, so hopefully XDA did not blocked it)
This is for Windows PC:
1. Download sgs4ext4fs.exe, and download firmware, unzip firmware up until you see system.img.
2. Open command prompt (on windows, click start, type cmd) where system.img, and type
sgs4ext4fs --trim system.img systemt.img
........ > you will see bunch of ............., but wait until it finishes.
3. Once it finishes it creates systemt.img, get sgs2toext4.jar (save it to the same folder), and open sgs2toext4.jar, and drag and drop newly created systemt.img to the window (sgs2toext4.jar's window), wait until it finishes, when it finishes it will create systemt.ext4.img
4. Now last step, download ext2explore.exe, and open it, and go to file --> open image and pick systemt.ext4.img, it will show the img file there (on both side of window), on the left side, select the systemt.ext4.img (should be showing full path), right click your mouse, and select save to your desktop or any other folder location you pick.
Obviously, next step will be odexing everything:laugh:

I think the lollipop firmware is here

We shouldn't expect any lollipop firmware unless maybe we flash it.

So when I repaired the zip file with winrar, I was able to recover these files.
Scatter file shows HTC_A50ML which is the D820ys, it comes with Lollipop out of the box.
This zip file is encrypted, only if one could find a password to crack it, or if someone has the knowhow to extract this kind of files

Kinda makes this noob sick. I just got a new Moto G4 X1625 (not Amazon). Next came the steps to unlock the bootloader with Motorola and to install TWRP. Everything had gone so easily by following some how-to steps I jumped to the next step of installing SuperSU without doing a backup – thinking it was simply adding an app. Big mistake! Reboot and now always stuck on the logo boot animation.
Okay, so I found and tried use TWRP to install ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.1_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip in an attempt to get back to stock. No luck there since install always aborts with a "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' in the zip file."
I checked a couple of other ROMs and that META-INF directory doesn't seem to be included in them either.
What do I need to do just to get back to normal eliminating the effects of that SuperSU install? Help greatly appreciated.
That file you downloaded is not a flashable file.
Instead, read this linky
Thanks for the helpful clue @t0mm13b. I followed the approach at <http://www.stechguide.com/download-stock-firmware-of-moto-g4-and-g4-plus/> and executed the listed commands from my MacOS Terminal. They did the job resulting in a fresh install after bootup.
2-1/2 questions…
1. Are flashable ROM files readily available? The ones I found all seemed missing the META-INF directory. Will they be .img files and not .zip?
2. Is TWRP not useful for these stock ROMs?

As a general rule of thumb, read the accompanying text to the link of the download, on a web page where you find one. It will tell you if it's flashable or not.
Factory images, just like what you had to carry out previously, never have, and do not have the `META-INF` directory. They usually contain img files that requires `fastboot flash`.
On the other hand, OTAs and flashable zips will have that in their respective zip file.
Thanks again @t0mm13b for the clarification. I often didn't see info about whether a ROM is flashable in link or web page text, but it may have just been assumed based on being aware of what the zip contains.
I had 50pc japan version of s5(sc-04f), installed rom 'G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN'. The downside of this rom is that its pre-rooted. I managed to unroot it by goin in supersu & click 'full-unroot'. But i had multiple devices to flash, so is there a way for me to re-pack this firmware again after i unroot it? So that i could flash it to my other devices without root.

Generally, if it's 6.0.1 and rooted systemlessly, you need to replace boot.img with a stock one and remove SuperSU app from system.img.
This ROM intended to be flashed from TWRP, so it's an ext4 image.
You can mount it to a linux system on your PC and remove anything you want.
I havent done anything like this before. Could u give me some links or guides? My PC is running Windows 10.

Ok, here' a simpler way:
1. Make changes on one phone.
2. Make a TWRP backup of boot and system partitions.
3. Restore this backup on other phones. They must have TWRP installed, a 6.0.1 bootloader and modem.
You'll have to rename backup's folder path and to wipe cache/data/system before restore.
can i use winrar to extract & compile the rom, without linux? So that i will have a much faster flashing process for all other units..

Ok, I've managed to download that ROM at last.
The things look even simpler.
To prepare an "unrooted" ROM:
1. Download the zip form this post and unpack updater-script somewhere.
2. Make a copy of V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip, open it with Windows Explorer and replace V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with the file you've unpacked from the attachment.
3. Try to flash ans see if it's what you need.
thx so much, already passed all units to the buyer. ill try that on next batch restock, may iknow if there's a way to get the service menu shortcode *#0*# to work again? This rom doesn't has the service menu.
