Booting into Recovery/Backing Up

Ok I tried not to bother anyone and so I have read the threads and followed many of the steps in the forums but I am not having any luck. First how do you boot into recovery mode on the Omate? Second I was trying to do a backup using TWRP but cannot do it using the GooManager and apparently I do not have root access even though I have a developers edition. Last when connected to my laptop (Windows XP) two drives show up but I cannot access them...any ideas. Apologies for such the newb questions.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
From the sounds of it you have not owned an Android device before and have not followed the information regarding the TrueSmart and other x201 smartwatches.

No TrueSmart comes rooted. Not the Regular Editions, the Developer Editions or even the production prototypes.

Connecting to your PC and accessing on board storage and SDCard;

Connect device to PC

On device either a "Turn On USB Storage" option will pop up or check the notification bar

Turn on USB storage on the device

You now have access to the storage areas on the device using your computer.

Installing TWRP;

The easiest way for newcomers will be to flash the EnSec Patch

Rebooting into recovery;

Disable "Quick Boot"

Turn off device

Hold down both buttons

An option list will pop up on the bottom of the screen

Hit the power button (this will get you into recovery)
[Ornate TrueSmart] Nofearz:
Lokifish,

You are correct I am not to great with the android devices but I am working on it. I was able to do the mass storage, was able to flash your Ensec Patch...which you say installs TWRP. Now I hit both buttons during power off and get the Recovery mode screen but when I hit the power button it just turns off and doesn't turn back on. I am trying to install the Bluetooth tether Rom but to no evail. I have the zip file in the main directory...should it be somewhere else and is there a reason I cannot boot into recovery mode? Thank again and I have been following these forums for a while and know ho much you help the community...Thanks again!
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
[MENTION=1145504]Nofearz[/MENTION]

No need to quote my post. Make sure you have a full battery before attempting to flash anything. It is not always required but is a good general rule to adopt.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Nofearz:
Recovery Mode

Lokifish thanks again. So is there a reason why my watch will not go into recovery mode and just stays powered off? I am guessing that is the reason it will not open the Bluetooth zip file that I have installed in the main directory.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Tilton53:
I use t-mobile and can tether, the problem is that the bluetooth is very unstable on the watch.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Nofearz:
Cannot Access System Settings

Ok I was able to flash my omate with the new blutooth rom but I really did like it o I reflashed my device back to factory rom using the guides posted. I then installed Lokifish Ensecpatch and everything seems to be working but for some odd reason there s no setting icon and when I swipe down to acess setting though th other way all it does it close out and I am not able to access any of y settings...any ideas? I trying to learn so apologies if this has been posted somewhere else.
[Ornate TrueSmart] syounger64:
[MENTION=2521422]lokif[/MENTION]ish...I was going thru a similar process like nofearz that's when my omate power button stopped working so I'm fwondering if its possible that the omate power button became disabled by software or option? I can do charging on mine and even reflash it back to original stock. What exactly does pressing both buttons do? I just think having no reset button on the watch and making only one way to power on the watch is really not a smart design unless someone knows something that I don't. I really do appreciate your support as well as others in this forum to have brought the watch for everyone this far.
[Ornate TrueSmart] lirona:
Hi,

Why we don't have the Ostore (Omate store)on this ROM?

Thanks,

Arie.
[Ornate TrueSmart] jdommer:
At a guess, because unless things have changed, the oStore contains only broken apps, apps without descriptions and copies of apps available from the play store. Is there something specific you are looking for from the oStore?

jd
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Because it's a custom ROM.
[Ornate TrueSmart] figers:
from the watch on wifi I installed framaroot and rooted the device

then I installed goomanager from the play store and installed the recovery with this. With Root access this app boots you right into recovery mode.

My issue is that after using this ROM and bluetooth internet sharing flawlessly for most of the day the watch no longer has internet access even though it all still shows it's connected correctly. The phone even shows one device is connected over bluetooth internet tethering.

I wish there were easy steps to reconnect. turn off bluetooth, unpair, repair, allow bluetooth tethering, use phone as internet access, reboot, many combinations and I still don't have internet on the watch.

Loved it while it was working!!!
[Ornate TrueSmart] lirona:
Hi,

Thanks, Yes I want games that I can play on the watch and the OwatchOn app and watch faces.

Thanks,

Arie.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
[MENTION=852803]lirona[/MENTION]

OwatchOn. Won't find it, it's been pulled.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of games that work on the x201 that you can install from the Play Store.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Bushrod:
I just did a dirty flash, wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted. Came back up and tethering is working again. I'm thinking in the future to try the cache/dalvik wipe alone and see if that works.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
I've never had an issue unpairing, turning off Bluetooth on both devices, rebooting the watch, pairing again, and re-enabling tethering and access with regards to restoring internet.

It's a pain in the ass but then again my connection doesn't drop often.
[Ornate TrueSmart] jwheeler73:
PSA -

Don't accidentally push the "switch to front camera" button in the camera app like I did. It just pops up an error that the camera cannot be found and sticks so that just closing and reopening the app does not switch it back to the rear camera. You have to force stop and clear data for the Gallery app for it to reset.
[Ornate TrueSmart] figers:
This worked for me, but what a pain, on reboot it has to rebuild all the apps again...

Then I lost bluetooth internet again 30 minutes later...

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

Thanks for the suggestion, sadly that didn't work for me...
[Ornate TrueSmart] Bushrod:
Yeah, that's why I abandoned this rom. I'm back to using EasyTether with Operative. 4 hours 10 minute connection that I broke manually when I went into a non-wireless office. Only have to reboot watch once to regain ability to tether after dropping connection.
[Ornate TrueSmart] sickysickybrah:
I installed this ROM last night and so far I am really liking it - Thank you very much! :good:

My only issue that I am thus far seeing is that the keyboard UI takes up almost the entire screen so you cannot see what you are typing into. Also, the Phone UI does not allow you to see the numbers "1, 2, 3"

Bluetooth works well and this is the first fix that allows my computer to connect properly to my TS. I like fitting more apps on my home screen too and when I turn my screen on it doesn't start with that goddamn stupid watch face :laugh:

Awesome
[Ornate TrueSmart] Nick123194:
I installed this rom this morning and it's working smoothly!

Thank you!
[Ornate TrueSmart] Dees_Troy:
I put some steps in the OP:

"Bluetooth on MTK is somewhat unstable. If it disconnects, especially due to a driver crash, you'll probably have to reboot the device to get Bluetooth working again. You may be able to get it working by power cycling Bluetooth or turning off/on airplane mode."

No other steps are needed. I have run into a few cases where I had to power cycle Bluetooth on my Nexus 5 and re-enable tethering on the Nexus 5. Apparently Bluetooth on even the Nexus 5 isn't completely 100%, but this is rare, once every week or so.

I've thought about spending some more time trying to make the Bluetooth connection faster and more reliable, but I'm unsure of how I want to continue. The ROM base I'm using was intended for a completely different MTK 6572 device. The source code that Omate gave us is supposed to be for the TrueSmart, but when I compiled the full ROM and flashed it, the device fails to boot so badly that adb never starts up. No adb means no logcat which means that it's going to be nearly impossible to troubleshoot. It's pretty sad that the source code that Omate gave us works worse than source code intended for a completely different device.

I was hoping to be able to port my changes into the Omate source code and build something that's closer to stock. Now I'm stuck wondering if I should continue trying to develop on a different base that's basically going to be a dead end. Honestly, better devices like the Moto 360 are coming soon and I'm not sure that the Omate TrueSmart is worth all the trouble.
[Ornate TrueSmart] rhineymac:
you are one of the last remaining dev to say that. At this rate theres going to be no devs left. Yet llp still believes this is the best thing since sliced bread. I say bring on the Moto 360 and the ts can go in the drawer with my other useless KS devices where it belongs
[Ornate TrueSmart] sickysickybrah:
It's awful the way this turned out. I was excited about supporting a smaller startup company instead of giving my money to the majors. Promises were made and not kept.

Regardless, thanks for all your hard work Dees_Troy and thank you to all the other developers helping out. With any luck things will be made right, but if not, I learned a lesson about jumping on the bandwagon too early.

[Ornate TrueSmart] cyrilp:
hi, is it still the case ? i was about to install your ROM to be able to work on The bt conection for SWApp Link, but not having any logcat would be damn annoying !

Envoyé de mon D5503 en utilisant Tapatalk
[Ornate TrueSmart] Dees_Troy:
I've been using SWApp the last couple of days and it works fine. The cloud based messaging works since the device has an Internet connection when tethering over Bluetooth.
[Ornate TrueSmart] cyrilp:
great i'm in the middle of installing your ROM right now ;)

is logcat really broken ? it wouldn't help for developing...
[Ornate TrueSmart] vapermonkey:
so every thing seems to be working great but Bluetooth tethering it looks like it connected great but there is no data being shared i am going to call t-mobile but all them jerks are going to tell me is to wipe my phone lol running n5 with Mahdi ROM so i don't know

Awesome . Only have one problem. Google play isn't working. Keeps saying "unfortunately Google play has stopped." Have rebooted and reinstalled but still encountering the same problem. Any solutions? Everything else is amazing
[Ornate TrueSmart] Diap:
Hi,

A 1Go/8Go 2100Mhz is comming?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Swap the baseband. That might work. The problem is there are at least four different 512/4 boards, possible two 1/8 1900 boards and if what LLP said was correct the 1/8 2100 uses yet another board.

So in order to properly test it devs either need one of each version (there's no way to really tell BTW) or we need folks to simply install and report back.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Diap:
I tried to install both of them and i have always the same message : intallation aborted.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
So TWRP will not install either baseband?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Diap:
I take a picture.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
So you didn't follow the instructions and have not installed TWRP.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Diap:
Sorry, you're right.

I'm a noob, and i'm french and speak bad english...

I tried now with TWRP.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Cyclone_storm:
I know it's a stupid question but which file is the baseband file it's bin a while since I flashed a phone and I can't find it that fast on Google.

Thanks in advance :D
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
!ALL Tools! has it. That can be found in the [INFO] Everything sticky.
[Ornate TrueSmart] sickysickybrah:
Quick baseband question: Does the baseband solely effect communication with telecommunication towers? I have no intention of putting a sim card in my device, so if this is the case, it would be pointless to upgrade the baseband. Does baseband effect other radio wave transmissions (such as Bluetooth)?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
baseband affects cellular
[Ornate TrueSmart] dragonfly1113:
Will this ROM ever be compatible with the callisto 100? just curious would love for my bluetooth to work without having to use easy tether.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
:confused:

It already compatible.
[Ornate TrueSmart] dragonfly1113:
Thought I read somewhere in the thread that it wasnt compatible with the callisto 100, guess i was wrong, will try installing later. thanks loki.
[Ornate TrueSmart] dragonfly1113:
cool got it installed but now i cant get the 4 touches on the screen to register that it says in the OP to touch the 4 corners and im touching just like the picture shows any other way past this?

reboot fixed it :)
[Ornate TrueSmart] seahorsepip:
I got a 2100mhz/1gb/8gb but I ended up making it unbootable without backing up the partitions......

So I fixed it with flashing twrp and then flashing this rom(1900mhz/1gb/8gb).

So I'm sorry I can't provide any software sources anymore though I can still test stuff.

But I suppose the 1900mhz/1gb/8gb with the 2100mhz/512mb/4gb baseband should do the trick, at least on my device.
[Ornate TrueSmart] dr_dre:
Ive got a virgin 1/8 2100 :) how do i give you guys the files needed ?
[Ornate TrueSmart] gigaguy:
I understand this is a tethering rom. But, I do have a sim in my TS, for when I run and dont want to carry my phone. I can get this rom to see the sim, set it active, set data to active, but never get a signal. Does cell not work at all in this rom?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Diap:
Sorry, for my late answer...

The ROM is ok, and work corectly with my 1Go/8Go EU model.

I install the 512/4GO 2100 version.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
Did you check the sensors? I ask because the 512/4 kernel broke the sensors in every test on the 1/8.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Diap:
Accelerometer, gyroscope, Linear acceleration, gravity, rotation vector, compas, microphone don't work...

Sorry.

[Ornate TrueSmart] dragonfly1113:
So I had twrp from lokis patch and installed this rom which is amazing but when I just tried upgrading to this newest upgrade my watch won't boot into recovery do I need to reinstall twrp after installing this rom? Tried searching thread.

sent from my note 3 running beans.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Really now:
It's still there but you need to uncheck quick boot in settings to boot into recovery.
[Ornate TrueSmart] dragonfly1113:
Tried that just hours to the iconbit splash page and than goes black. So tried powering off pursuing and holding both buttons than going to recovery same thing happens.

sent from my note 3 running beans.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Lokifish Marz:
From the device being complete off;

Pressing and hold both buttons at the same time results in what?

A) Device boots normally

B) Black screen with selection menu at bottom of screen

C) Something else (if this then please explain in detail)

If "B" then what are the next steps you take and what is the result.
[Ornate TrueSmart] dragonfly1113:
Results in it prompting for what recovery to use I press the top button and than screen just stays black. I've used that method with no issues before installing this rom that's why I'm curious if somehow twrp was deleted when I installed this rom.

Quick question and not a huge issue just curious when installing the rom i installed the wrong baseband i installed the 2100 and now its not recognizing the sim thats in the device sicne its an att sim and should be on the 1900 baseband, is there anyway for me to easily change the baseband without having to reflash the entire rom?

Planned on this being my last month with paying for the service on the sim but was just curious.

Thanks,.
[Ornate TrueSmart] DaBountyHunter:
Just go in to recovery and flash the new modem?
[Ornate TrueSmart] dragonfly1113:
Wasnt sure if the new modem flash would need a wipe to work. Ok thanks.

Strange did that and updated the baseband to the 1900 for north america yet still doesnt recognize my sim in the device. hmmmm tried taking out the sim and putting it back in get the same message. sim worked fine in loki's patch builds, wonder what the issue is. love this rom and def not leaving it but would be nice to have the sim working while i still have service on it at least :)

details: its a callisto 100 watch running the updated 1.1.1 rom bt tether rom. other than this sim card thing everything else is awesome about this rom.
[Ornate TrueSmart] DaBountyHunter:
Oh silly me didn't realise this is the tethering rom. SIM access doesn't work in this afaik. Think it's mentioned on the first post.

1. Powering off your device.

2. Power it back on and immediately press and hold the home (lower) button.

It will take a fair amount of timing to get it just right but you will get the menu with 2 options,

boot recovery and boot factory. press the power button to get into recovery
