Instructions:

=============

REQUIRED PROGRAMS:

1) SP FLASH TOOL

2) MTK DROID TOOL

3) WINDOWS OS XP or HIGHER

The All Tools suite for MTK devices can be found here:

MTK All Tools Suite

****** You must install the preloader drivers for your device using the 32-bit or 64-bit installer (dpinst) for your operating system before you continue. ******

I suggest making a full backup of your device either in TWRP or in MTK DROID TOOLS (1:1) to preserve valuable data or in case of a failed upgrade. You should always back up your IMEI/NVRAM in DROID TOOLS for safe-keeping and this is no different.

Download the full set of factory images here:

Omate 4.4.2 Factory Image RAR

Extract the contents of the ZIP file to a known directory and proceed to the next step.

Next, navigate to the Settings menu on your Omate TrueSmart and, under Accessibility, disable Quick Boot. This is the only way to enter Download mode reliably. With that completed, power down your watch.

Finally, open the scatter file (mt6572_scatter_emmc.txt) found in the directory you extracted the ZIP file to in SP FLASH TOOL and check to make sure each file is present. You may need to manually add the system.img and recovery.img. To do this, double click on the empty box and select the file.

Once you've made sure each file matches, go to the drop-down menu where it says "Download" and select "Firmware Upgrade". Take one last look to make sure every file is selected and press the Download button on the top left of the screen.

With the watch powered off, go ahead and plug it in. THEN WAIT. It will take between 5-10 minutes to fully upgrade your unit. You should see a red bar, then green, then purple, then yellow. If you get any error that says "BROM DLL ERROR" note down the error number and send me a message. If it gives you a green checkbox, you're done with this step.

Now you're ready to boot the watch. Press and hold the power button until it powers on. The first boot will take approximately 5 minutes to complete while it assembles all of the information. Once it finishes, power down the watch. Hold the home (bottom) button and press and hold the power (top) button simultaneously (at the same time). You'll see a recovery menu. Press the power button to boot into TWRP. From there, select "Wipe" followed by "Factory Reset". You will want to reset the watch to factory settings. You can either make a backup or go ahead and reboot the system.

Congratulations! You should now be on Android 4.4.2 for your Omate TrueSmart.

NOTES

=====

If you're missing APN information I suggest you either restore previously saved APNs or add them manually if they disappear. Currently 3G data will not work on 1900MHz units.

This firmware was designed for UMEOX smart watches operating on the x201-series MT6572 chipset. I am not responsible if you damage your watch because you flashed the firmware incorrectly or to the incorrect watch.

If you have any questions as to whether your watch is compatible, please message me.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to brick your watch if you are flashing this firmware. If for some reason you think your watch is bricked or you feel uncomfortable flashing this firmware you are welcome to send your unit to me (if you pay shipping) or I am available to help over Chrome Remote Desktop to flash it for you.

If you are having issues getting the firmware to work, please send the following information to me:

Watch Manufacturer

Date Received

Last Known Firmware

Case Material

And I will answer on a case-by-case basis to help you troubleshoot. I never make guarantees but I promise to help as much as I am able.

Finally, please take the time to thank the brave soul who voided his warranty to get me the prototype firmware for this. I won't reveal his name for security's sake, but he obtained a developer unit from another company who uses the x201 chipset and was kind enough to upload the system dump in September of last year. I would have presented this sooner to you guys, but until the method for flashing the S8 firmware was released I had no idea why I couldn't get it to work.
