I've been sitting on my 4.5.91 update for a month or two now, out of sheer laziness/I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm currently running Android 2.2.2, update 4.1.83, and GingerBlur 3.1. I have a recovery image, yet when I try to boot into Fastboot, nothing happens and holding the up volume button only locks me into a "Starting RSD protocol support" screen. I'm a little lost,and my Android-savvy roommate is as well. Any help would be appreciated!
-My roommate has reviewed my post and says I should mention I'm trying to push a ROM through Fastboot, but my PC won't recognize my phone.

Having this phone non root is driving me completely insane. No greenifying system apps, bloatware, etc.
Are there any root methods on the computer that root all android phones?
Did you get this rooted yet?
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/lg-transpyre-root-4-4-2-t3021836
Found this to work for me on transpyre
I found this on another web site after almost giving up on my Verizon transpyre vs810pp i followed to the tee with the exception of install su from thr google store cause after root and boot it will b installed so just follow the guide and you to shall have root enjoy and props to the ones that gave us this gift.........

Original post here.
A translated post here.
The original posts do not talk about the G3, but it DOES work for the G3. See post #636 and on where it has worked for others besides myself (on this XDA thread.) Tested myself on the VS985 (Verizon G3) and it has worked flawlessly. Others have tested on AT&T G3 (D850) and it has apparently worked fine as well!
I noticed quite a few people upgrading who didn't know much about this, and also quite a few people NOT upgrading because of the lack of root access, well this easy to follow tutorial should help with that. I think the instructions on the XDA post are quite clear and easy to follow, but I decided to post one here out of boredom. Originally I was going to just share the link, but why not? Enjoy.
How to:
Install SuperSU from the Google Play store and install it.
Download these files and extract the contents. I redownloaded all files and packed them together right after to ensure this file is safe. The files are the original rooting-require files along with MFastBoot (Basically adb without the Android SDK installed, it's quick and easier for me since I have not installed the Android SDK). It also includes the latest SuperSU Binary zip straight from the Chainfire website.
Enable USB debugging on your device. (About Phone > Build Number (keep tapping it until it says you are a developer) and then go back to the main settings. Go into developer options and enable USB debugging.)
With your phone screen on: Connect it to your computer via USB cable and put it into PTP mode. (USB debugging should report as on in the status bar.)
With your phone screen on: Hold shift and right click in the folder you extracted and open a command window. (Your phone will soon ask you to allow the computer, hit remember and yes! It may have even asked your prior to this step, just allow it.)
Copy this:
adb push g2_root.sh /data/local/tmp/
Right click in the command window and paste. Hit enter, and wait until it finishes (should take a second.) Now copy this:
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
Paste it in the command window and hit enter. Copy this:
adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/
Paste it in the command window and hit enter.
Leave the command window open and disconnect your device. Turn off the device completely. Hold volume up and connect the USB cable to your device without touching the power button; it will go into download mode.
Find which com port your device is connected to (Device Manager > Ports > Your phone will be there, COM(Number) is what you'll need.
Go back your command prompt, and copy this:
Send_Command.exe \.\COM(CHANGEME)
Replace "(CHANGEME)" with the COM port number of your device. Now copy this:
sh /data/local/tmp/g2_root.sh dummy 1 /data/local/tmp/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip /data/local/tmp/busybox
Paste it into command prompt and hit enter.
Enjoy your root access! I don't think you can just do "adb reboot", so just disconnect your device and do a battery pull. Put the battery back in and boot up your device. Enjoy root!

Okay, I know this is a thread with zero responses and I'm resurrecting it, but when searching for how to grab OTA files/URLs on XDA this is one of the first threads to pop-up and so that's why I'm replying here.
Prequisites:
Phone that has not finished downloading the update (pause it now if it's downloading already!)
Computer with ADB installed
USB Cable that works with your computer and phone
Text editor with a find function
On Linux-based OSes: (for Windows, the command I use should be enough of a hint)
Enable USB Debugging on your phone
Connect your phone to your computer via the USB cable
Check for System updates and let the phone start downloading the update... pause it as soon as it starts downloading
Make sure you phone is on AND unlocked if it has a PIN/Pattern/Thumbprint Lock
Now we're going to run a command that continues to run until you stop it
Open a terminal and run
Code:
run sudo adb shell logcat -b all > logcat.txt
Note: sudo may not be required... depending on your Linux Distro... for Fedora it is required
Now, the logcat.txt file will continue to get larger while the command runs as more logs are dumped to it, so inside the terminal window, press Ctrl + C to kill the command
Open logcat.txt in your favorite text editor and Ctrl + F for .zip files. When you find one... it should be fairly obvious if it's the system update or not
Here's an example of what mine looks like (I've bolded clues & underlined the OTA URL):
Code:
02-27 22:20:44.270 3807 19571 I [B]system_update[/B]: [-533462485,0,0,[U][url]https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/razer_aura_cheryl2/e2152a2c966d6c0950ae58c5360bdf0d49f949a0[/url][B].zip[/U][/B]]
As always, any feedback is welcome!
Hi all, I am an Android Wear newbie. I purchased used LG w100 watches for my wife and myself. We like them very much, but some apps do not work correctly. I have done some research and everything points to upgrading the Android Wear. My Android Wear version is v1.3, Google Play Services is v7.8, my Android OS version is v5.1, and my build number is LCA43.
What is the best recommended path for upgrading the watch? I have read about OTA updates, which I do not seem to get, and using the dev environment to update the watch. A link to a tutorial/instructions would be awesome! Thanks!
First you need to push the MEC23G ota as it contains required bootloader files for the latest build so grab the OTA here
2. once you have that go to the watch's settings>about watch>build number tap it 5 times and it should say "you are now a developer"
3. now go to settings>developer options> and enable usb debugging
4. If you do not have ADB on your pc you must get adb minimal from here or the official android sdk but that's 1GB so maybe not
5. attach your watch to your pc with the usb cradle dock and the watch should prompt you to allow adb connection, click always allow
6. wherever you extracted your adb files you must then open a command prompt by clicking file in the top left> open command prompt
7. Now type "adb reboot recovery" into the prompt
8. once the watch has booted to recovery tap the screen until the exclamation mark disappears and then swipe down to adb sideload and swipe left to proceed
9. Now on your pc make sure the ota file you downloaded is in the same place as your adb minimal install and the type "adb sideload nameofota.zip"
10. Your watch should then update just fine and you will be no second latest build. Get back to me once you have done this for next part feuhw

Thanks for the info, I will give it a crack. I am assuming this can be done on a Mac as well? I will let you know how it goes. I do not understand why I am not getting the update OTA???

There are many reasons like your device not being on the OTA ring atm for some reason as ota are put out in small groups so as not to over load the servers also it may think it is up to date but it's not that happens a lot. Yes this should be do able on a mac but you will have to find the adb equivalent for it or Linux because they both run off the same scripts

follows these instructions to get adb on mac http://www.droidviews.com/setup-adb-and-fastboot-on-mac-linux-and-chrome-os-with-nexus-tools/
I have been looking how to do this for a day now with no luck. All the other applications seem to be for early Android wear versions less than 2.0 or Android 5.1.1 or less.
Option 1 (Faster)
1: Install ADB on your computer. https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
2: Enable Developer Options on your wear watch. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/guide-how-to-connect-adb-wifi-t3368602
3: Make sure bluetooth is off, wifi on and connected to same network as laptop.
4: Turn on debug over wifi option in developer options and wait for it to show your IP.
5: On windows, make sure platform tools are on the main drive. Ex (C
6: Copy your APK files into the same folder.
7: Inside the folder, press shift and right click. Then press "open with CMD here or powershell"
8:Type .\adb connect 192.168.0.5:5555 (use your own IP, not the ex)
9: Once connected type .\adb install facebook.apk (type in your own APK name, not the ex)
10: Wait for success, and app should be on watch
FYI some computers do not need the .\adb, just type adb
Option 2 (Slower)
* Prerequisites:
1: Computer
2: Cord to connect your phone.
Tested and works with Lineage OS Android Nougat 7.1 and Android wear 2.7 on Verizon Wear24 watch

Follow the steps listed in the Start.bat, do not run as Admin.
The APK must be loaded into the main folder, not the app folder.
Currently installed Facebook Lite, tested and works.
Opera Mini opens but force closes after a few seconds.
You may need to open the start.bat twice if it doesnt load the localhost (watch) the first time.
Just a heads up the installation transfers APKS at 51 KB/s, slow! Takes about 2 minutes for a 5mb apk.
Can this be done without the need for an Android Phone? I use an odd couple (iPhone 7 Plus with a Ticwatch E). I have access to Android via a tablet only...

really late, but mine transferred at 555KB/s, (so close to being 6s) but yeah, pretty slow
I came across this error when following the first option. Any advice?

Another method
Hey first of all I want to say thanks for your tutorial.
I found another method for sideloading your apps to your Wear OS watch.
It's my preferred method because you need no PC.
There is this apps called Apps2Fire it's made for sideloading apps to an Amazon fire TV, but if you enter the IP address of your watch and enable ADB over Wi-Fi you can sideload all apps installed on your phone or any .apk stored at your phone directly to your watch.
For me, this is the easiest way for sideloading, and it would be cool if you can add it to your tutorial.
Tutorial:
1. Install Apps2Fire on your Phone
2. Open the app and go to Setup,
3. Enter the IP of your watch/ or tap on network and let it search for your watch
4. Tap in the upper right corner on the Upload Symbol and chose your .apk and tap on it and then on install.
5. Enjoy
How can I extract an application installed on the watch?

Looks like you're trying to load an app with the wrong CPU architecture! Try to download a different arch cpu type of that app.
My Fossil Carlyle doesn't showing Wifi debugging in the dev. options. Any way to get sideload without cable working?

awesome thanks, this seems to work...it says connected on the apps2fire app...i haven't tried to upload apk yet to watch..i have fossil gen4 sport..now to find some good apks to sideload lol
I've followed everything but when i do /adb devices it doesn't show anything and when i do /adb connect with the wifi ip address... it says unable to connect to the ip address i wrote
Thanks heaps. The first method worked for me on TicWatch Pro 3 Woohooo...
Does anyone know a tutorial on how to make an apk compatible to install on a watch please?

no one has explained it properly on XDA it kind of sucks for newbies tbh
Step1: go to settings - system - about - tap build # 7 times
Step2: go to settings - developer settings - adb debug -adb wifi debug on
step3: download apk on computer
step4: go to the folder with the APK in it "Shift + right click" open powershell
step5: go to the wifi on your watch click on it - get the ip address (should be 192.168.x.xx)
Step6: powershell type: "adb connect 192.168.x.xx:5555" (your watch ip address + the port 5555)
step7: powershell type: "adb -e install appname.apk" (type in the app name where i wrote the app name)
Example:
C:\Users\Bob\Downloads> adb -e install Spotify.apk
