BQ25798: Problem with entering Host Mode

Part Number: BQ25798

I am using the bq25798 Battery Management IC in a custom design.
I want to write to the Registers to enable the internal ADC to measure some values of the charging-process.

I have a functioning I2C-Communication with a microcontroller and I am able to read register values.
But as I see it I am not able to write to the bq25798 as every time I check the state of the Watchdog Timer it says expired.
So i think that I am always in the Default Mode because then, as I read in the datasheet, the Watchdog-Timer is always expired and the registers are at default values.


The datasheet says that any I2C-Write will enter the Host Mode but for me this doesn't work.

So how can I actually enter the Host-Mode to change register values? 
And how can I change the register values? Do I just have to send the address of the bq25798 with register address and register value in one I2C data transfer?

I would higly appreciate a quick reply!

Thank you in advance!
