Wow! such expression! Cool down, all questions to mediatek and fabs of china, please.

Well as I found on the internet MT6162(A|D(A)|M) SOC also used in some models of phones such as symphony, noname M810C (see included service manual that I found), etc.

Difference of this chip's not big, as I understand from some chinese site it looks like that MT6260A have no flashrom, MT6260M have 24MB installed, MT6260D have 32MB installed serial flash. All chips have 32MB of SRAM inside one chip! :cool:

As I also dug out a unknown Chinese workmen installs different types of LCDs and peripheral devices, so for each fab they rewrite some codes(like BT drivers, PMU, LCD drivers, imho there are some hardware changes occur) also changes animation and images.

But nevertheless project name still stay SH15 and SDK(?) used MAUI.11C.W13.52.MP.V5 .

So for now I collecting firmwares and asking community to grab ROMs and send it to me.

also I'm looking this file: dcl_pmu6261.c (path maybe at SDK folder hal\peripheral\src\)
[Other SmartWatches] bartek2191081:

[Other SmartWatches] hghghghghghghgh:
highly respected bartek2191081 and Sidoreczekziomeczek

I chasing over the internet for that ROMs. I write posts in four different languages. When I get a new ROM I carefully stored them and attach to messages tested, not repeated items.

So We only have time, and some where some how, another unknown man send me its ROM which maybe works on yours U8watch.

I have took another purpose. I wish to compile my own ROM and flashing it to this device. For now I need to find all what helps me.

For 6260 chip exist https://github.com/xobs/fernly, take a look. But 6261 have other memory map and pmu registers, as I can guess.

Also as we seen many different peripherals installed in this device.

U80 MT6261DA Clone

Hey Guys, I've gotten a couple of these watches from china and thought i may be able to update the software to get some extra functionality, instead i flashed all the roms listed here on this thread and can't get it back to life. but since i bought 2 of them, luckily i was able to follow your instruction and pull a dump off of the other watch. Now I`d like to know how to actually restore this dump to the useless watch now. Maybe some instructions as to how to make a ROM out of this dump or if someone could do that for me and others that might possibly have the same model. Thank you very much for all of your useful information

Procedure of connecting the U8 watch to the PC

Ok I happened to have the same problem with getting the watch connected to flash tool. Here's how I had mine fixed. First ( With the watch turned on ) connect it to your pc and install the drivers. Once that`s done and you can see a "COM#" in your device manager, you turn the watch off. Now select the appropriate "COM#" on your program (whether it be Flash tool or Maui ). the idea is to click "Connect" on these programs as soon as you connect the watch to the computer. So hook up the watch to the pc and soon as you hear the computer recognizing the device, go ahead and push "Download" Or "Connect" depending on what program you're getting your watch connected to . I hope this helps your issue as it did mine

unbelievable

Hi, I've bought this smartwatch on ebay, I didn't believe that could exist clones of such a cheap chinese stuff, but now I know it is possible (lol)... so I bought it with "closed eyes" but after few hours that I received it, I realized that I got a fake, a very well done fake, I must say. Very close to the authentic UWatch, It works fine, notifies and vibrates, but it lose the bluetooth signal very easily and lack of the only watch face that I like (lol).

I ask to you, is it possible to flash this fake UWatch with the original firmware?

Can any gentleman here explain what I need and what I have to download?

Hi,

I received a clone U8 from Ebay seller a few days ago. I guess it's a fake one because there is no "About" option in settings menu. CPU is MT6261DA and I don't know about FW version.

I have some problems, there is no way to make it work with BTnotice application . Watch is paired with smartphone because I can listen to music, receive calls, watch phonebook but I can't get any notifications or use camera, I always get "Please install BT notifier app in remote" message.

I also tried to install a new firmware but when I connect smartwatch to USB port it is recognized as a Mediatek Mass Storage.

Any suggestion please? Thanks

Smart Watch U8 clone

Hi guys,

got this watch 2 weeks ago, and overall everything is working just fine, got messages, notifications, call functions works even its a bit stupid because when the watch is connected when you answer the phone you must use watch and everybody hear the speaker but what to expect for a 30$ :) So I turned the audio function off in bluetooth and its ok. The only thing that is not working is basicly the thing I need most its pedometer sync with btnotification app, so the pedometer works just fine and I have all data on the watch but cant sync it with app so if anybody have any solution it would be nice, just to mention that I tried couple of apps and all of them couldnt sync pedometer. Temperature measuring is ok when the watch is off hand, but that is ok, even some good casio watches are not accurate until you remove them from hand (body temperature confuses it). And I am little confused about altimeter because its not showing the actual altitude.... But again its 30 $.... If anyone can help with pedometer sync it would be apriciated...
[Other SmartWatches] LuccoJ:
My pedometer doesn't sync either, I think it must be a problem with clones in general, and it probably only works with the original U8...

No altimeter can measure the "real" altitude, since they work by measuring pressure, which changes with the weather. You have to calibrate it (or in the case of many U8 clones, all you can do is reset it to zero).

You can simply go to the list of Bluetooth devices on your phone, tap on the Settings icon for the smartwatch and disable phone and/or media audio to stop the watch from acting as a headset for calls.

What's the best smartphone app for the U8?
[Other SmartWatches] LuccoJ:
I am not at all sure we can load Java apps on these watches, in fact I am convinced of the contrary (unless we change the OS entirely, at least; have a look at Fernly).

Many people recommend MediaTek SmartDevice as the "best" companion app for U8-like watches to use on Android.
[Other SmartWatches] mforce2:
LuccoJ is right about both Java and the companion app. Do keep in mind that these have very limited resources so I'm not sure you can even get the space to put a JVM. MT6260 watches seem to have more resources, at least more storage space so for that it could work but for the simple MT6261 U8 clone I don't think so. It has 4MB of flash and 4 MB of RAM.

Yes LuccoJ. We all learn from our mistakes.

The watch uses Nucleus RTOS , IT has a Size = 0x00400000 (4MB/32Mb) norflash.

If you go into engineering mode on your watch it will tell you that it has MRE.

MRE stands for (MAUI Runtime Environment)

MTK its self offers mre app development SDK

The apps are written in C

I think it's pretty easy and safe to upload data to the watch's FAT, at least. That's where settings and such are stored. Do you think MRE apps can be run from there?
