[GUIDE] How to flash 1.5 update on LG Urbane (non-LTE version)

For some Urbane users, for whatever the reason may have been, they were unable to install the 1.5 OTA, the "dead" android continued to come up. This guide assumes that you have Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed on your computer, a guide that includes how to set your computer up for this is found HERE. This guide also assumes your watch is already on ADB debugging, etc, etc, else follow the previously mentioned guide.

READ ENTIRE GUIDE BEFORE YOU START. NEEDLESS TO SAY YOU'RE TRYING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK..

Files needed:
- System
- Boot
- Recovery
(these are for 6.01 version, and can be found HERE with the 5.01 version).
- 1.5 update zip found HERE

1 - Connect your watch's charger to your PC and set your watch on the charger.
2- Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot, and type:

Code:

---

adb devices

---

and hit enter

3- If properly connected you should see something similar to "504KPJP00XXXX8 device".

4- Now type in:

Code:

---

adb reboot bootloader

---

and hit enter. The watch should reboot into the bootloader.

5- While in bootloader type:

Code:

---

fastboot flash system

---

and drag the System file you downloaded earlier to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot window, and hit enter.

6- When it's done installing type in:

Code:

---

fastboot reboot system

---

and hit enter.

7 - Repeat steps 1-6 for EACH of the other two files: Boot and Recovery files you downloaded. Keep in mind that EACH TIME when you get to step 5 you must type in:

Code:

---

fastboot flash boot

---

for the Boot file, and

Code:

---

fastboot flash recovery

---

for the Recovery file respectively and drag their respective files to the window. So, to recap, do steps 1-6 for Boot, and 1-6 for Recovery. Got it? Good.

8- Get into bootloader mode again (see steps 2-4). Using the left and right (< >) arrows in bootloader screen on your watch look for "Recovery Mode" and hit the (o) option.

9- Now you will see the good ol' "dead" android. Fear not, touch the screen and you should get some options. Sliding your finger up or down scroll to "Mount /system", and swipe left or right.

10- Now slide down to "Apply update from ADB" and slide left or right to get into ADB sideload mode.

11- Once in sideload mode go to Minimal ADB and Fastboot window and type in:

Code:

---

adb sideload

---

AND drag the 1.5 update zip file you downloaded onto the screen, THEN hit enter.

12- If done properly the Minimal ADB and Fastboot window will start showing you some progress and so will the watch. wait until it's done. When it's done reboot your watch. Be advised it will take a little bit to power on, be patient!

You're all done!

Now you can go back and install TWRP, root, etc..

I want to point out that 1 or many of the above steps may not be necessary but this is exactly what I did to successfully flash the update. No wiping, no factory reset was necessary.
