LOL. I know just spend a couple of hours figuring out.

First backup since it will delete everything on the phone

Here is the link http://pan.baidu.com/s/1pJHio91

This is the flashtool http://pan.baidu.com/s/1qW2nc8s ... which comes up in Chinese. Just go to the second thing on top. If you click on that you will get options. The first thing has like 5 sub options. Click on the 3rd one ... top one is Engleees (I think)

Now on the main screen you will see scatter-loading on the right. This file should be in the unpacked rom.

Just below that scatter thing on the left you will see a dropdown box ... I choose Firmware upgrade.

Check that USB debugging is on and reboot while hitting that 'download' button on the flashtool

If all goes well you should see some action and it takes 5 min .... reboot also.

To root, put USB debugging back on and use KingRoot.

What is the firmware version on the new ROM and are there any changes? In particular does the motion wake feature work?
[Other SmartWatches] lukesan:
Still 4.2.2 No real changes that I can see, but probably bug fixes.

Amazon Ap store works without Root have Browser on this model Swatch K2 and keyboard. Still the wake up movement hardly works and set messages reply for sms needs sorting.

Build number 02_sw_jh_20140702 .

Problems connection caused with old MTK drivers from MTK phone use USBDeview to delete old MTK usb drivers!

MTKDroid back up done: usbdebug enable and ADB program permission ALLOW in Kinuser app.

I did manually run the ABD driver from folder in MTKDroidtools but It may do this automatically?

Plug in phone off, MTKDroidtool waiting click temp ROOT use Super user from root in MTKDroidtool next tab backup.

Getting no driver found. Watch needs MT65xx preloader drivers. I think I've only flashed samsungs for the last 4 years, is the android driver the same for all devices?

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

What am I missing here? Installed the adb drivers from sdk, usb debug on, rebooted watch while the 'firmware upgrade' button was pressed on flashing prog. Getting no activity at all. watch just boots as normal.
[Other SmartWatches] lukesan:
Had the same thing as you but eventually got it going.

Press the reboot button on the watch with the device manager open on the laptop.

Check this http://mobilesarver.blogspot.be/2014/03/mtk-new-65xx-usb-driver-for-windows-7.html

I remember clicking 'on time' on the missing device when the device manager showed MTK65XX when the phone rebooted. It's all about timing.

Have a go and let us know!
[Other SmartWatches] falum:
Hmm, I'm having no luck here.

1) Changed cables, plugged into main usb ports

2) Running as admin

3) Installed specific android driver as the watch appears in boot up in device manager

4) Wailed and cursed God

5) Rebooted and tried to surprise watch with the update as it booted.

If this turns out to be me making a school boy error, I will hang my head in shame.

Can I check which type of android driver loads: 'Android adb interface' or 'Android Bootloader Interface' or 'Android composite adb interface'.

I've tried all three.
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
Perhaps stupid to ask, but did you install the MTK USB VCOM drivers? Happened to me once, that I switched from one PC to another (where I didn't have them installed) without thinking and wondered why it doesn't recognize my MediaTek based phone for flashing....

How can I set the schedule? It would be nice, if I can schedule power on and power off, may I can save +1 day battery life. :)
[Other SmartWatches] KloNom:
As I think this is the "scheduled Power Off" application of Android 4.2.2. Normally this is configurable over the Settings -> System -> Schedules Power On/Off. Since the watch has its own settings app, I don't know how to reach this point.. Probably try to insert a "normal" Settings app to the rom.

K2 as companion, BT headphones

Did you get skype working properly?

Im curious, do you use your watch as standalone? I've ordered a 7" Tronsmart PS7 "phone" and bluetooth handsfree earphones (you look quite ridiculous talking with a tablet in your face... :laugh:). I wonder if I can add a K2 to the "system"? SIM in phone, watch as companion and BT handsfree. Is it possible to have both a BT handsfree and a K2 connected to the phone (the K2 acts as a remote, not a headset)? Or to have the K2 connected to the phone and handsfree connected to the K2 (the K2 then pass on the audio)?

Anyone have a clue?
[Other SmartWatches] MrRimmer:
I have my phone connect to a car bluetooth handsfree, now I have the K2 it shows when someone is calling then I can answer by pressing the car bluetooth answer-call button. Most of the time it works but occasionally the audio does not go anywhere (call is silent) or it goes through the phone (which is in a jacket or jeans pocket).
[Other SmartWatches] ress_:

Magnetic Turn on Screen

Hey,

On the chinese Mlais board i found a program (http://www.anzhuo365.com/thread-650616-1-1.html), which was made for the watch to turn it on when change of magnetic field. I tried it with a smal magnet and it works! You can download it here. The checkboxes are the sensitivity (low to high from left to right I think), the Buttons beneath are the following: On, Off, Minimize, Stop.

If somebody has a magnetic ring or somemthing, then it could be used to turn on screen without pressing the button ;).

Does anyone know how to disable contacts sync in SwatchManager?

I've installed Google Services to the watch and my contacts sync over WiFi.

Every 5th or 10th time SwatchManager.apk syncs contacts over bluetooth it deletes all your Google contacts and syncs that result to Google and all your Android devices.. Luckily Google has a backup of all your contacts.

I am not able to use the SwatchManager since I've installed Google Services to the watch. Is there any alternative?
[Other SmartWatches] standef:
I noticed that same problem on mine when I installed an app from the play store directly

on the watch. I wondered where all my contacts went.

And yes, google has a restore function to a previous state (http://google.com/contacts)

A bug for sure. I've had to restore my contacts a number of times.

Well, I did root it with vroot, but I've lost root trying to install SuperSU ;). Any attempts of rooting again via vroot failed.

After this, I've tried doing a backup following this tutorial http://pinoyscreencast.net/how-to/g...-smartphones-using-spft-mtk-droid-root-tools/ but failed producing a usable recovery due to missing kernel and boot images....

I do however have a full ROM_0 dump, if anyoe is inetrested.

If you guys know a better way to dump the ROM and/or rooting (or unrooting and rooting again), pls. let me know. Btw. problem is that the failed instalation of supersu left me with a /system/xbin/su which doesn;t give me a root prompt via adb. If you have ideas, let me know ;).

New Version

If you want to Vroot again do a factory reset on the watch. It seems it forgets to use your fingerprint while in adb mode and will not prompt you again. After wipe while in vroot remember to check always allow this connection to machine. In the last step of vroot it will say waiting for device, simply plug and unplug watch. I am backing up now the firmware and if my headache doesnt continue attempt to make a recovery.... I hope..
[Other SmartWatches] xtreme_protector:
Thanks for this info ! Will try again vroot and post the results. Fingers crossed...

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

If I manage re-rooting, I'll too attempt making again the fw. dump and a recovery. Then, we could compare.

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Edit: Ufortunately re-rooting via vroot failed, even after resetting the watch data. Any more ideas ???

Will try again making a dump and recovery. If you manage to do yours, please let me know.
[Other SmartWatches] xtreme_protector:
Creating the CWM recovery image fails with last version of MTK droid tools with:

--- ERROR :No find KernelGZ

--- ERROR :No Split Boot Image

--- task is complete ---

However, the recovery.img and boot.img which I dumped seem to be valid since unpack-MT65xx.pl is able to extract them and produce booth kernel and extractable ramfs files :).

Now, studying a bit the recovery files, I see the following in default.prop:

#

# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES

#

ro.secure=1

ro.allow.mock.location=0

persist.mtk.aee.aed=on

ro.debuggable=1

ro.adb.secure=1

....

Question is: What if I set the security permissions to zero ? Would this give me a root prompt in recovery mode ? Btw. right now I can boot to recovey using adb. Trying adb shell prompts me with:

error: device unauthorized ....

SSo, if I reset the security flags, would I be able to get a root prompt in recovey mode ? Is this stuff safe ? Btw. I can repack the recovery image using repack-MT65xx.pl, so in principle I should be able to flash this via droid tools, right ?

Any advice ?
[Other SmartWatches] afbcamaro:
My backup did not fail in any part of dump and repacking to flash.. But i had root while doing it (os booted) and did not simply read from 65xx preload. You should be ok to flash back with changes.. We should probably compare some of the binaries to make sure they match.. Im pretty confident mine will work. I even made a CWM image but have not tested it due to only having one button to navigate it. Will need a twrp recovery to feel good about it..

PS i got into factory recovery and could not get out.. No control over it... If your recovery said authentication denied you still havent accepted or the watch at least remembered the authorization... You may have to move to another computer and reset watch and then vroot... You know "chinese" issues lol

Pps did you while adb connecting or trying to while in the os did u get an accept this computer connection with a fingerprint? It for some reason flashes on the screen really fast and leaves so you have to watch for it
[Other SmartWatches] xtreme_protector:
Yeah, I know you cannot get out of recovery. But my point was just to get root over adb so that I could alter system parittion....

Nevermind, in the meantime, I did manage to get root BUT only over adb. Any pair Superuser.apk & su binary failed installingproperly. I still don't know how to get proper root, iI mean for apps too :).

Any ideas ?

OK i will share it.. Hopefully tonight.. I will not include the data partition since i believe it has some of my top secret stuff lol.. So just uncheck the data while flashing. When i post it you use it at your own risk.. Should be ok if you just flash the system partition but do not flash preloader and loader(the first three)... Ever... The images have been china rooted already so it should get you at least in that direction.. I dont mind the china root its the same just ignore that it promps you in chinese just check mark it and hit the button on the right... Anyways off to looking for a proper host site to upload to... If someone can help me in getting twrp on this damn image i would apreciate it..

Ps i will also upload with it a testing version of cwm recovery...

PPS .. After flashing do a factory reset.. It will keep root.. If it works i already have a rom with google apps etc working....

supersu root

Guys, just finally managed to get root vis supersu... I think it's still due to my initial rooting via vroot, since adb root DID work before this attempt.

Since we do not have a proper/usable CWM recovery, and since all tutorials for rooting assume custom recovery, I had to basically adapt the install script from the flashable archive to properly intall supersu VIA a ROOT adb login.

If anyone is interested, I can post the files...
