SmartWatch firmware update fail...

Hi,

I got that Smartwach 2 SW on Christamas and decided to check if there is new firmware. Connected using Sony update service and got notification that there is new one.
Started to update, got fail message and now watch shows Flash FS every time is turned on.

Tried few times update few times, reinstalled Update software and no luck

Does anybody knows if can flash firmware using Flashtool?

Let it charge for 1 hour then try again, the battery has to be above 50-60%

I installed the software on my comp did everything as it said and the watch is at a screen with just a bar the phone says its downloading the software as well.  Its has been like this for a hour or so.  Is their a problem or does it just take several hours?

Can't charge watch as when plug charger have Flash FS message, tried whole process few times, no luck. Battery should be about 90%.

I found that few more people on other forums with same issue, I suspicious sth wrong with firmware. It's Christmas time so Sony could fix that next year probably Slightly_frowning_Face

What if you connect the SW2 to a wall charger, not a PC > press and hold the power button for more than 10 seconds > let it charge for 1 hour > try again with SUS

I that what I'm doing. Update Service recognize my watch, says that there is new software. When connect my watch to update (plug USB cable and press power button) it start to update but at the end it shows update fail.

Then every time turn on watch SONY appera on screen and then Flash FS message.

I unistalled and downloaded again SUS. Cleared DB folder to force download firmware again. Tried that update on 2 another PCs still failed.
