unpair wearOS watch wihtout performing factory reset (and without root)

1- Wear is connected with phone A (old phone or the same phone before a factory reset) so turn off Bluetooth on this phone.

2- enable developer mode on watch, manually go:

  • settings > system > about and tap build version 10 times

3- reset previously paired phone (phone A) then watch will restart:

adb shell "pm clear com.google.android.gms && reboot"

4- Power on Bluetooth on phone B.

5- start wearOS app to configure, when searching watch

adb shell "am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE"

6- developer option can't be undone without reseting... but just:

adb shell settings put global development_settings_enabled 0

Hey @MacKentoch , thanks a lot for this doc!

Do you know by any chance how I can use a similar approach to unpair a Bluetooth device which isn't the main Android phone?
