[Ornate TrueSmart] fanrig:
Not working for me. I got --- ERROR : pttycmd1 device NOT found! :(

The FIX !!!

Turned out, the problem is the secro.img. Flashing with the one from this KK rom erase all things related to baseband.

So, here are 2 options fixes if you don't have baseband after flashing, assumed you already rooted.

1. Try to restore your NVRAM backup from your previous ROM with MTK Droid tools. If you get "can't found pttycmd1" error then do step 2.

2. Open SP flash tool with scatter from the the KK rom and ONLY select PRELOADER & SEC_RO. The preloader should use the KK rom and the sec_ro you should use your previous working rom (that you back up before flashing KK with MTK droid).

Now, my TS-1 is showing 3G and the GPS is working fine. Perfect!
[Ornate TrueSmart] gerhardo:
Sure.

I am not worried, this unit was semibricked already (no mic and no GPS, bad BT).

(One usage is to get Swipe Status bar working in KK.)

One kind of bricking is to run out of battery.

I do not get any response from SPFT unless downloading. When downloading, I get "Mediatek USB" directly, but nothing more, so for sure it is "kind of hard" bricked...

Screenshot after trying to flash preloader from the backup prior to the upgrade. Same result whatever is downloaded and for Format+Download.

No settings in SPFT is changed from what I know, I have tried enabling "DA DL with checksum" too.

for what it's worth.

on JB when my sensors weren't working, they were working in the engineering mode. But not in any app.

So I tried to do the same on KK and the error in the logs is /dev/RT_Monitor not found.
[Ornate TrueSmart] aeron16:
Yup! IMEI is showing after a restore from MKT Tools although i just cant connect to 3G networks or data. Everything works fine for 2G. Just strange. In engineering mode, i can see the 2000 WCDMA mode selected and set as well.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Shonky*:
It's not bricked "for sure"

Do you have the driver installed for the Download Agent. After plugging in, a virtual com port is created and the Download Agent is loaded, this then creates a different virtual COM port with different USB ID and different drivers (or at least the same with the different vendor and/or product IDs) IIRC. It seems you have the first stage com port working. Have you installed the dpinst.exe/DPInst64.exe drivers? Try re-installing them (run the .exe as administrator manually - it doesn't seem smart enough to do it on it's own).

Take a look at Device Manager for unknown devices when it stops.
[Ornate TrueSmart] gerhardo:
Thanks for helping

Reinstalled VCOM drivers (many times), the TS is seen as "Mediatek USB" in Device Manager - on for a minute or so after connecting, then off.

(And I flashed several times before getting into this state.)

SPFT sees the TS when starting, can download DA (says 100%), but just do not continue after that.

After that the device is Unknown in Device Manager.

So sure, it seems like the port presents itself in a way so drivers can no longer be loaded, but what more than VCOM is needed then?
[Ornate TrueSmart] Shonky*:
There are plenty of different versions/brands of virtual com ports so just because the first one works doesn't mean the second one will. Go to the Details tab and then Hardware IDs. That will tell you the device VID/PID for sure.

The driver *should* be in the DPinst(64).exe files from memory which are installed by just executing the .exe as Administrator. The "0 Needed Files" directory has two sets of drivers in it I think.
[Ornate TrueSmart] bienjamu:
might help someone

hi guys,

i had a few issues installing KK but got there in the end, managed to get it into a state where it wouldn't boot and after that i seemed to have driver issues for the most part. windows kept looking for drivers for "Alcatel T Single RNDIS Interface" but failed to download them, so i googled it and used the link to the "PC suite software" in the reply here:

answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/alcatel-t-single-rndis-interface-2-driver-problem/396bb91f-d85c-438a-a381-45ce3f3fad07

(haven't been a member long enough to post a proper link, sorry)

after that, and lots of plugging it into different ports to get it to recognise the device, i got it to work as per the instructions.

(except i ran a format and download first, followed by upgrade firmware)

can't be certain the alcatel driver was what worked for me as i was trying all sorts of combinations. but might be worth someone else testing if you are also having usb driver issues.

thanks for the kk.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
This happens when your preloader acts wonky due to a bad flash. What I do is grab the stock scatter file, flash the preloader, and format and download the stock firmware.

I've had to use a different computer when this happens. Your computer basically looks at the device, says "oh I know you", while the flash tool says "hey have you seen this device". The computer says "yes!" and then proceeds to waste the flash tool's time by standing around not saying where.

Sometimes you just have to ask another computer.
[Ornate TrueSmart] kuronosan:
Alcatel is the default driver assigned to the prekernel modem interface by windows.

When an MTK device loads it has three stages:

Modem (deep, deep layer only accessible with tools)

Preloader (flash tool talks to this)

LK (your bootloader)

There is one other mode but it's only accessible with a special box.

When the preloader fails to hook it defaults to modem. When you don't have the driver installed it defaults to Alcatel.
[Ornate TrueSmart] LaDamian:
I tried to describe this action, but it wasn't as clear as what you've posted here. I think this is why some people, myself included, have had luck using a different set of flash tools. Using a different version of the flash tools has a similar effect to switching computers without needing a second computer.

I updated my TS EU version 1/8 GB and I have encountered 2 issues. In the wifi list appear a network called NVRAM WARNING:Err=0x10

In the other hand the phone app shows me that is not installed so I can not do calls. But I can receive calls or send calls throw the contacts.

I can get to see the dialpad and log going to the contacts -> choose one contact and press to send the number to the dialpad. ﻿

Now we can do calls.

Is this a bug? Or flashing issue?

About the SWApp Link now it works more fluid. Now the notifications are instantaneous.

About the BT communications with headphones continues as bad as the stock version.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Shonky*:
I have the NVRAM thing show up in my Wifi networks too. It didn't in the original Unova ROM. Wifi seems to work fine and otherwise it works as expected and after a couple of seconds the local Wifi networks show up. Not sure if everyone sees it but it has been mentioned by others too. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

The fifth computer worked.... A Vista PC with almost broken HD (starts in 15min, shuts down n 5) after two Win8 and two Win7 PCs failed. (It may seems like bad PCs with bad OS work better, but that is not an advise.)

That PC is flaky and the flash failed halfway flashing, so well after the preloader was fixed. Some 15 flashes on the normal PC (one format) to get the old version running once. Sometimes the screen lit up when pressing the Power button, sometimes it seemed dead, sometime it started booting and hanged. Battery pulled most of the times

After only one failed KK flash, the TS started with KK.

I tried to flash my Omate Truesmart:

received 13 June 2014

last known firmware: retrosmart rom

aluminium case

After the red bar appeared I got a BROM ERROR message S_FT_FORMAT_FAIL (4010) - Format flash error! Possibly given a wrong format range, please check your format setting.

For the moment I can't power on the watch anymore (I'll try by removing the battery).

EDIT: I removed the battery and tried again. The problem is with the USB driver which is flaky when the watch is connected while powered off.

Even though I used the DPInst64.exe file to install the driver (and which works perfectly well when I connect the watch while it is on), when I connect it while power is off, Windows 7 always tries to install a new driver which sometimes works, sometimes not.

I finally managed to get it connected in the power off state, and the whole process went flawless. I'm now the lucky owner of a KitKat Truesmart.

Thanks Kuronosan!
[Ornate TrueSmart] gerhardo:
Just continue flashing. I tried flashing somewhere over 50 times before the device was upgraded (I am sure some have done even more attempts).

Other say the device is hard to brick. Mine was kind of bricked, but the 5th PC I tried on revived it to the extent that "normal" failures occurred again.

Thanks gerhardo. I managed to flash it. I updated my previous message: the problem lies with the USB driver which is somewhat flaky.

Titanium Backup:

When restoring apps+data with TiBa, the restore just hangs. Just data is possible, but at next startup the I get “Uids on the System are Inconsistent” popup, with “/data/system/uiderrors.txt” pointing to the apps where data is restored. (Note: wiping cache + fix permissions in twrp as possible solution here: http://thedroidguy.com/2014/03/fix-uids-system-inconsistent-galaxy-s3-88039 got the TS starting up without display).

I have reinstalled apps several times already, also experienced the GNL first startup issue for instance. It is not really reinstalling that is the issue, it is configuring apps.

Edit: Unticking "Mount Namespace Separation" in SuperSU seem to fix the issue.

SIM and lockscreen:

With a SIM, I have to set the security to None. With Slide, I cannot close lockscreen. Have to remove SIM to pass the screen.

[Ornate TrueSmart] Kcspaceman:
Upgrade went well!

I have an Omate TrueSmart, North America version, with 1GB RAM and 8GB. Received it in very early 2014.

I followed the instructions exactly. Took me a bit of time to track down MTK Droid Tools since an executable wasn't in the linked "MTK All Tools Suite" package (maybe my Microsoft Security Essentials quarantined it?). Only real hiccup during the installation was that SP Flash Tool gave me a "Checksum failed" error shortly after connecting to the device. It did three readback passes, and at the end of the third it returned that message. It kept occurring no matter what I tried, so instead I did "Format all + Download" instead of "Firmware upgrade" and everything went great after that.

Lokifish's YouTube video was helpful too, and very succinct (thank you!).

I too see the NVRAM entry in the wifi screen, but it doesn't bother me at all. Had to manually put back my IMEI, but again, not a big deal.

Big thanks to everyone who helped contribute to making this happen. I really do like the watch except for a few admittedly minor quirks (biggest perhaps being lack of iOS notifications, but that's on Omate, not the guys here). :) Thank you!

[Ornate TrueSmart] jhax01:
No issues here pushing files to the watch over Bluetooth. Thanks to all who made this update happen. The TS has always been useful for me as a fitness device but now that the external speaker actually works with the phone well enough to hold a short conversation, I have zero complaints. Internet tethering over Bluetooth has been rock solid as well and probably is a better data connection battery-wise vs a 3g connection. My first charge on the ROM went 1 day 19hrs with 2g mobile, Bluetooth, and location on (battery saving). That's good enough for me!
[Ornate TrueSmart] supergadgetman:
Good Stuff!

I'd have to second your thoughts here. The battery life difference is nothing short of amazing. I used my TS all day yesterday after updating it to KK. I was reinstalling apps, configuring, restoring with TB. I was using wifi most of the time but did use 3G for an hour while out on lunch. I got to my office at 10am and left at 6:30 with 40% battery left! Before this KK update I was barely getting through half a day with the same usage. I had resorted to modding my charging cradle to wear on my wrist with the watch. I had the usb charging cable going up my sleeve and into a small 2200ma backup battery that I wore under my dress shirt. Didnt look too sleek on the wrist but it worked. I have 4 other smartwatches, some of them are of the chinese variant and this setup works alot better when you have a usb charging port built into the watch like most of the chinese ones do. Thanks Kuronosan, Lokifish, and everyone involved. BTW I have the US 1900 1/8gb version and my 3g works just fine. I just restored a backup of my nvram after I ran the update. I used the older version 3 of SPFlash tool. (The newer version gave me the brom error)

[Ornate TrueSmart] Aapenootjes:
I've also flashed successfully on my 2100/1/8 Truesmart. Like many others I had to use the older flashtool version as well because of the BROM error. I don't use a SIM card in my watch so I haven't checked the IMEI yet, but I have a backup if I need it.

I mostly use as a fitness device as well, and now that BTLE works with android 4.4 it has gotten so much more valuable. I can finally use my heart rate monitor! It actually seems to work even better then on my Xperia Z1... The only nuisance I've got is the malfunctioning SwipeStatusBar, I hope there will be an update on that soon. I'm keeping an eye on Gerhardo's work on Github :)
[Ornate TrueSmart] gerhardo:
SwipeStatusBar (Play or my mod) is working, but Umeox KitKat launcher is quicker killing it, why it does not pull down very often.

GravityBox fullscreen works well though.
[Ornate TrueSmart] Aapenootjes:
I'm actually using SmartLauncher, in its settings I've set the status bar visibility to always visible. Is the Umeox launcher still hiding the bar in the background then?

I have no experience with Xposed yet so the GravityBox solutions sounds a bit complicated to me. However I have been planning on learning about Xposed anyway :P
[Ornate TrueSmart] gerhardo:
It seems like the default is off, then the stock launcher enables it. At every detected app change (which includes SwipeStausBar), the Umeox ROM kicks in and hides the bar.

This is a crappy solution, should at least have been a setting for always on.
[Ornate TrueSmart] supergadgetman:
Anyone get statusbar to stick?

Can you tell me what settings you have in Gravitybox to make your status bar static? I dont see a fullscreen settings option. I do see "expanded desktop" settings, but no matter what I choose that statusbar doesnt stay. I even installed smart lanucher pro and set the status bar to "always on" in settings along with using "swipe status bar", but no combination of these makes the satusbar stick. Has anyone that updated to KitKat found a way??
