nope, no hex, it is about reflashing , but first you have to do a full readback (FlashTool_v5.1320.00 and mtk feature phone drivers set), this bulk you send to me and I will create from it for you full flashable firmware, in this way you can install different versions (gt08 versions or other watch phones part of the same mt6260A family watch phones) or get back in case of bricking to your original firmware (hope I was clear in my notes)

full flashing is deepest hard reset you can get

If all these doesn't make any sense for you still you can use the restore settings from menu (soft reset)

ok get the flash tool and everythink push the download power off the smartwatch and push usb inside but the smartwatch quickly wake up and goes into charging mode...and the flash tool doesnt seems to get it

i want to try firmware for this please help!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
That means your flashtool is not properly set, check in options if is set to USB (third thing there)

As well check if you installed drivers for !!!

for any case hereunder you can find tested tools

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_PhIaLE_-ogcXBFSEdXbzBZX0E&usp=sharing

if it's working don't forget that FIRST MOVE is READBACK
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
ok downloaded your files but in device manager he actually didnt recognize it only some restart of smartwatch and recognize somethink like serial port

in flash tool at option usb download read back is checked!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I'm pretty certain that you haven't installed the right drivers for your computer and watch, please check again, these things are working for sure, there are no doubts

try to install drivers avoiding automatic install (go there in the folder and click right on inf file and check install)

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_PhIaLE_-ogcXBFSEdXbzBZX0E&usp=sharing

Add more drivers!
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:

friend finally i get it!BIG THANKS TO YOU!im give a try to my firmware

i see there is more firmware in russia 4pda.ru but i havent got access beacuse of the registration in the forum

could someone add this firmware here ?
[Other SmartWatches] SkyHusky:
Well...

I would continue to post on here but my GT08 kinda fell apart. The screen started popping out and not even double sided tape would fix that. So i still have it, but the watch on my wrist will now be my new DZ09. Yall come over to the "DZ09 Smartwatch" page on xda :p
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
you'll find more firmwares on needrom site

and it will be really helpful if you could explain what was going wrong and how did you fix it

Hello,

Who already succeed to use earphones with wires micro usb plug to listen the FM radio with the GT08 smart watch?

I've try different adapter to 3,5 mm stereo that display earphones plug but no sound came out.

The only solution seems to use the internal speaker, with earphone plug to make the antenna.

That the same issue to play MP3.

By the way other models are sold with micro USB earphones, but not one maybe there is an design issue !

Thanks for your advice.
[Other SmartWatches] SkyHusky:
Well what happened was originally the phone or 2G antenna broke, so i soldered on a new wire. It was a bit thicker, but it was all i had. Days later, i noticed the screen was loose. So i pulled it up thinking dirt was under it or something, but no. I went to the store and bought some double sided tape to hold the screen down, and it kind of works. But the screen still sticks out a little. So it still works, but the screen kinda flops around, increasing the chance of it breaking. So right now its on my desk just sitting there, and the DZ09 is my replacement. I love it so far :p
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Radio is working just perfect, I don't have microusb earphones but when I plug an OTG microusb the radio starts to work, if you check the difference between OTG and normal microusb (for OTG 4th and 5th are in shortcut) you can figure out easily where are the channels (L R sound and Mic) and which one is the ground, so an old pair of earphones, a microusb cap (25 cents or so), some simple soldering stuff and you have it!
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
can i have image of that earphones?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I think you didn't read my post, I don't have any earphones, but in the light of what I said in the previous message there is a very simple thing to build your own. Most important is that the radio is working and sends signals through usb (tested)
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
oh sorry for what..

i think there is a way to make radio working without headphones or bluetooth

with hidden menu in the radio section where is some hex codes ...
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Very hard to impossible to penetrate their very hermetic OS, I've read about tries of reverse engineering this type of PCB... no one successful, but I would be very happy to find that somebody did it

Until then I think the simpler way is just to get a small microusb plug, to make a shortcut between last two contacts and stick in the watch - almost invisible and very effective - radio starts to work on speaker!

Apps Galore

Boo! I'm here. So I ran across a way to install apps on the GT08, and DZ09.

1). Go to the link here: http://dmax.wapka.mobi/index.xhtml

2). Search the app you want, but be sure to put .vxp after it.. Ex; facebook.vxp

3). Download it to your PC

4). Move it to your watches SD card (if you have one)

5). On the watch, open file explorer and touch that file. It will say "Done" or "Failed to start application"

6). Go to the home screen, and in the app list or menu, it will be on the very last page.

7). If it is the correct resolution, and if your watch has an activated SIM card in it that has 2G or edge access it will work. This will not work on just Bluetooth, unless its a game.

8). Pat yourself on the back, you did it! unfortunately there is no way on the website to tell if it is a 240x240 app, so just experiment.

Be sure that if you liked my little guide, to "thanks" my post ^-^ good luck
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Really good job! It would be interesting to find a SDK or something in order to create vxp apps

[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
check this link:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_PhIaLE_-ogcXBFSEdXbzBZX0E&usp=sharing

download SN_Write_Tool archive, unzip it, start it, press system config, press MD1_DB and browse for BPLGUI file you have in the firmware set just have installed, make sure is checked just IMEI option, target type is feature phone and com port is USB VCOM, press save, start, connect your watch (make sure your phone is off), it asks for IMEI number (is written right over the sim cage), and will show when operation is done... disconnect USB, reboot your phone and enjoy...

My friend, you're f . . . ing RIGHT, yes, is working like a charm, it finds for sure some type of pictures from system and fortunately among them are the watch faces!!! unfortunately just the standard type of pictures, yet the system ones are hidden, whatever, very good news, we can change now the watch faces without any effort, some creativity and TADA!!! I would give you 20 thanks but unfortunately the system doesn't let me more than one, i hope guys here will appreciate your efforts by pressing thank button!

Man, start a new thread, this is an important step in mtk watchphone customization!

I'll be there to help in any way I can!

[Other SmartWatches] lbcgt08:
I've tried again yesterday to solder an earphone to this micro usb, and all possible combinaisons... nothing work maybe my watch is defect !

Another strange thing I can't say it's a real otg usb port because if you shortcut pin 4 a 5 nothing append, but if you put the earphone on pin 2 and 3 and 5 the watch display earphone connected but no sound goes out.

The 3,5 mm to micro usb adapter I bought on ebay is wired like that 4 and 5 shortcut to GND, left to pin 3 and right to pin 2, but that doesn't work just display earphone connected.

If someone can test it on his own watch to confirm that or give me the solution, I'll be very happy !
[Other SmartWatches] anestef:
really thank you friend.i already tried your watch face its very nice how did you make it?in photoshop?

would you really be sure i have to make a topic for this?thank you again

Writing MRE apps...

http://www.afmobitek.com/common/sdk?type=1

Seems this is a very basic MRE (Mediatek Realtime Environment) app creator, produces .vxp files.

There is also a much more complicated MRE SDK out there somewhere.

I have had success with some .vxp files from the web, but get the irritating 'Application failed to Start' message from afmobi sdk.... i presume it is something to do with the screen size, however the earlier comment about having a sim card installed may prove fruitful...

Thought i'd share my find with you guys, you are probably a lot more resourceful than me.

Also, here is an example .vxp that seems to work..
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
not necessary photoshop, vectorial cad and picture post-processing software (internet is full of freeware tools for drawing!!!)

It is your call if there will be or not a new thread, but think about, we are talking now not just about GT08 but all guys who bought feature watch-phones mtk62xx, most of them want the same thing, customization and changing watch face is a pretty big step, by my humble opinion, it would be good to be a thread containing information, advices and database of best watch faces we find or build

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

Yes, thank you for your efforts, I found myself afmoby site, we barely could call that thing a sdk, I really do not understand why they are not coming up with a full set of tools for developers as long as the market contains 0 (literally zero) MRE apps... What we find now around are poor built merely working apps, still, we'll keep up searching for
[Other SmartWatches] SkyHusky:
Ok so i have the new watch face and i imported it but now how do i save it and how do i put it on the watch?
[Other SmartWatches] medicuk:
Of course Mediatek have a full SDK, but i believe currently the legal route is expensive....

http://mre.mediatek.com/en/start

I would have thought that very soon they will drop it, as they have moved on to the LinKit for MK65xx processors (a bit like arduino).
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I've made a tutorial'ish algorithm, hope it helps

here are the steps:

1. do a copy of the firmware you want to change (for instance rename the new containing folder <DZ-09 mod1>)

2. create a folder (lets call it <new watch faces>) and put inside all watch face gifs you have

3. obviously, start the program

4. press open (left down buton) browse to <DZ-09 mod1> , as extension select all files and select ROM - <open>

5. press upper right side <workdir> and go to your <new watch faces> folder and press ok

6. press <Pictures> upper left and in the main list from left pick which picture you want to change and click on it

7. in the right side choose the picture you want to insert and click on it

8. press upper right side button <import> if shows successful go to step 9 if not the picture you chose is to big

9. press save - it opens browser in the <DZ-09 mod1>, check ROM and accept to overwrite the file

10. flash <DZ-09 mod1> on your phone and enjoy!
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Yes, I've read about, still they are selling a huge volume of mtk62xx phones, it wouldn't be a bad move to make this MRE SDK officially open source :)... I know I know... hopes...

Hi everyone, I flashed the rom from tbe rom site with the tool and no issue doing so, but my issue is that the rom has distorted my screen to become lighter and 40% of an inverted look. I also thought I did the backup or redo and set the perimeters as shown in the forum. It works fine but the invertion. Luckily I do have another watch, if I can get 'clear backup instructions' it would be greatly appreciated, from someone that may have do e one successfully. I donr want to overwrote the GT08 but to simple make a backup of the good watch and flash to the inverted watch. Or I saw a new youtube video of the flash process, and his download from the same site and 1.2v had the gt08.cfg mine had cat.cfg, not sure if the author did a recent change. But if someone has the GT08.cfg I would like to see if that works better upload dropbox or gdrive.. in other words there are a lot of option for me to fix the issue, just need a little help. . Thanks in advance. .. I like the ability to change the ico s around thats cool.

ive been selling gt08 and dz09 for the last 6 months.. and i can tell u.. gt08 is better than dz09.. although almost same functions.. but build quality.. dz09 is a crap
[Other SmartWatches] lbcgt08:
I think both are crap quality and swindle, I've ask this simple question and no one reply :

Who already succeed to use earphones with wires micro usb plug to listen the FM radio with the GT08 smart watch?

In my opinion that's why it been sell without earphones, so that you can't verify all functionality like Radio or Mp3 player.

I also try the Mp3 player all my MP3 generated playing errors.

Of course the camera is a very bad quality it's more a gadget than usefull .3 M or 1.3M pixels no real and official documentation about technicals data.

All applications are so basic and can't run in background (no multitask), for example you can't play mp3 while you are writing SMS.

I bought it to use it as holidays watch with my sim card I was expected simply voice call, SMS, Fm radio, MP3 Player, and of course MANDATORY earphones, but I can't.

I won't waist my time anymore and put this watch to the right place in the liter bin.

thanks in advance ;)
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
that rom is working flawless (be aware - for a series of gt08, not all)

Take from hereunder flashtool 5.13.08, for some series of phones is working better

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_PhIaLE_-ogcXBFSEdXbzBZX0E

Make sure you connect the phone AFTER you give a command in flashtool

Before anything do a full <Readback> from 0x00000000 to 0x01000000 of your watch to exclude any risk
[Other SmartWatches] F0bi:
Thanks, but now, with flashtool 5.13.08 I have this error:

"META ERROR: Error in BootROM communication"

It's very strange because when I connect the GT08 to my pc (after I give a command) the flashtool recognize the correct com port....

If I do a full <Readback> from 0x00000000 to 0x01000000, I obtain another:

"FLASHTOOL ERROR: S_BROM_CMD:STARTCMD_FAIL (2005)

I don't think so because I'm trying on another pc with Win XP 32bit and I have the same result...

in flashtool Options I have marked:

-USB download/readback

-Format FAT (auto)

and in backup and restore I have marked: backup->download/format->restore

Is It correct?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I hope is same situation I've met to another member around, when he put backup and restore to no action started to work like a charm, and of course, I hope you start with readback command (never flashing before readback!)
[Other SmartWatches] F0bi:
I want start with a full readback but I have the same error: S_BROM_CMD_ .... (2005)......

I think there is a driver problem.... but when I connect the GT08 to my pc I can see "MTK USB port (com x)" in the devices manager and the same com port is also in the flashtool.... where I'm wrong...
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
in the flashtool folder it is made a Backup, delete the folder inside (has a name kinda C610A6E8B8 . . . . . .
