[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
So if you hold both volume buttons + power button, then select "Recovery Mode" with the power button, it just reboots back to that same exact bootloader screen? You don't see the Android laying on it's back with a red exclamation mark over him?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razrus:
I was finally able to get it to a screen by holding the down volume + power that says "downloading do not turn off target nexus 10", but that still did nothing. Thats the only thing that it will let me do besides constantly rebooting to the same bootloader screen, no matter which option i choose.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
That's the Samsung Download Mode, which is different from the bootloader. Could it be possible that your volume button may be stuck, and that's why it keeps bringing you back to the bootloader? I mean, you should at least be able to boot into Recovery Mode. If not, the only solution I can think of is unlocking the bootloader and flashing the factory image. Maybe your partitions got corrupted somehow?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razrus:
I dont think the volume button is stuck, when i select recovery it just restarts and vibrates twice. When i power it off and start it it vibrates once, dont know if that helps. I also remember my battery being below 15% when it froze up. My device has froze up alot since the day i got it, is that normal? maybe it did destroy the partitions.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
Hmm. Well, I can tell you I've never had a freeze up on mine. However, I did only buy mine a year ago, back in April of 2014. So I've pretty much only run KitKat on it before Lollipop now. Also not sure if they made any hardware revisions to get more reliability later in the device life cycle. I also pretty much only use it for media consumption like watching videos, so I'm not really doing any taxing processing tasks on it. It's weird that it vibrates twice when you try to boot into recovery. You mention your battery was low when it locked up. Have you left it charging while powered off for a while?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razrus:
Really? Never froze? mine would freeze all the time, especially watching youtube videos, i just thought it was normal haha, maybe something was actually wrong with it this whole time. Ive had it for a little over a year now. The battery did die when i left bootloader on over night, but automatically started itself up into bootloader when it had some charge. i might just contact google at this point to see what they say, like i said i never have rooted it or did anything other then normal usage. maybe they can help me.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razrus:
So I called google and they transfered me to samsung, and samsung transferred me to google. no one seems like they could possibly help me. This is frustrating and i dont think ill buy another nexus tablet, or anything nexus for that matter. i dont even think i can sell this on ebay at this point, and if someone were to be able to get it up and running, all my data might still be on there. ARRRGGGHHH:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: ive never owned something that has "bricked" and not been able to fix it. this one looks hopeless.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
That sucks. I can empathize as I (and I'm sure plenty of others) know how it feels to get the runaround. Always frustrating. Well, I am thinking the only shot at possibly getting it working again is to unlock the bootloader and flash a factory image. Chances are always good that with a Nexus (barring any hardware issues), flashing a factory image will get it running again. That's why it's Nexus only for me, as Nexus devices are virtually unbrickable. Not sure if you have any experience with Fastboot and ADB. If not, I'm sure you can find some useful research tools on the interwebs and here on XDA. Once you understand it, here are a couple threads with some simplified installers: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790. Do keep in mind that UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER ERASES YOUR DATA, so you will lose everything on your N10. But at this point, it's all about getting it working again so you're not stuck with a $300 paperweight.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razrus:
Is it possible to flash even though it's not recognized by windows?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
It's not recognizing it because you need the drivers so it knows it's connected in bootloader mode.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razrus:
i have the device up and working now! Thank you so much for you help! I had to unlock my device with the nexus root toolkit after installing that usb fix you suggested, then i had to flash it, but the 5.1 update would get stuck in a bootloop, so i installed 4.4 and it worked. Lost all my data but thats ok. Thanks so much.:highfive:

Edit: Google play was not working, tried updating android software and it got stuck in the bootloop again. will try and tweak it more tomorrow, im gunna look for other custom firmwares as well, dont have to have stock anymore.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charesa39:
That's great to hear. I'm glad it came back to life. :good: Although, I wouldn't suggest using a toolkit. In my experience from what I've seen around these forums, they tend to cause more harm than good. It's good if you understand everything that's going on, and they can prove useful for devices that have really complex unlocking and rooting procedures, but Nexus devices are so easy to unlock and flash manually. I always flash each image file manually so if something goes wrong, I know exactly where it went wrong and how to fix it. The Google Play issue you mentioned is a perfect example. Flashing manually also helped me learn the basics of Fastboot and ADB. So if you want to stay on stock 5.1, I would recommend reflashing the factory image manually. I always use this thread to help me out in case I forget something: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008. Although it's for the Nexus 6, it's the same procedure for the Nexus 5, Nexus 10, Nexus 7, etc. That's the real convenient thing about Nexus devices as well, as they are all pretty much flashed the same way. Should all be really simple since you already have the drivers set up from installing the toolkit. Good luck! And have fun with your newly revived N10.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redcentre:
Just wondered if any Australian users had managed to get the CH9/Fairfax Stan service running on AFTV?

I got the app on, cloaked root and can navigate it, but whenever I try to play a video it comes up with a error saying there is no internet connection.

It uses silverlight, so I'm wondering whether that might be part of the rproblem.

Have been in contact with Stan help desk, and they were enthusiastic to see if I could get it working, but not really much help, which is fair enough given it is an unsupported device.

Any ideas?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajc53:
Edit

I got Stan running on my Firestick by:

-sideloading the Stan mobile app to device (fire installer)

- entering credentials with Mouse Toggle for Firestick app

Aspect ratio for menu is off, but the actual video plays fine

EDIT- The first video I tried worked (Borgias)

Second (Billions) and third (Sleeper Cell) didnt

I got a U1 error for these

Will have a play with it but probably just going to fork out for a Chromecast

GT08 Smart Watch. looks a lot like iWatch hitting aliexpress.. Thoughts?
[Other SmartWatches] minicounter:
Agree.... someone needs to buy and review it!:)
[Other SmartWatches] JoshClarke:
I just ordered one last night. I'll do a review and possibly a video when I receive it.
[Other SmartWatches] janez2001:
Have you done the review yet?
[Other SmartWatches] JoshClarke:
I haven't received it yet. These things usually take awhile to arrive since they are being shipped from China.
[Other SmartWatches] stealthdave:
When your GT08 does arrive, I was wondering if you'd be willing to answer a few questions about it for me:

Does it have a compass? I've seen some product descriptions say "yes" and others say "no". (This is a very important feature to me, for no valid reason whatsoever other than it's cool to have a compass on your watch.)

Is it water-resistant? I don't necessarily need to go diving with it, but something that could survive a quick hit by a water faucet would certainly be useful.

How customizable are the watch faces? I know that it comes with several built in, but is there a way to make a custom watch face?

Is it usable WITHOUT a SIM card just over Bluetooth?

Thanks, and let's hope those ePackets have swift wings!

- Dave
[Other SmartWatches] JoshClarke:
I just received it. I will still do a more thorough review, but for now I will answer your questions.

There is no compass. Sorry.

I'm afraid to wash my hands while wearing it. I don't think it would survive.

There are 3 watch faces and they cannot be customized.

It is usable over Bluetooth. A lot of the features require an Android phone, so I cannot test them because I have an iPhone. The phone features work and all audio from the phone (music, voice navigation, etc.) can be routed through the watch.

Keep in mind I've seen multiple versions of this watch, so my answers may not apply. Mine has a mix of iPhone and Android icons. I paid $60, so I can't complain. Video review coming soon.

Firmware for GT08

Hi

I'm looking for a firmware to download, because my version has only English and

Chinese languages installed.

Thanks

Klaus
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
I bought the GT08 smart watch today and can't wait till I get it. I noticed that there were lot of different names for the same thing (GT08, CK3s, Oumax S6 etc...) and the screenshots on the watch look slightly different, so there must be different firmwares. Does anyone know if the firmware can be downloaded, edited or flashed in some way? Is it possible to install apps or games on this system? Java apps perhaps? This would be sooo cool :fingers-crossed:
[Other SmartWatches] Omessy7:
any good review ? please include available watch faces and what do you think of it ? is it worth buying ?
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
Smartwatch GT08 / CK3s / Oumax S6

Ok I'll try a short review then...

Hardware

The watch arrived today and on the first sight it looked really cool and good quality. It's big of course but not too big and I like the design very much ( seems they 'borrowed' it from the apple watch) . The belt can not be changed because it contains the nfc antenna. This is bad, because the shutter is really annoying and bad quality. You can insert a micro sim card and a TF card into the watch, so it can be used as a phone itself but I didn't try it out. There is a built in camera but it has only 0.3M and the pictures are really crap (sorry for that). The screen ist colorful and bright but its not IPS and the viewing angles are very small, the touchscreen works very good.

Software

The watch has some strange chinese proprietary firmware and not android wear so it is not possible to install any apps. In fact it feels like a litte time warp to the time before devices had android. There is a filemanager and I've copied some java apps to the watch but the system doesn't know what to to with them. Some of the pre-installed apps don't work either. There is a browser (useless because you don't have wlan or 3g) and a FM-Radio which is also useless, because you have to plug in earphones as antenna and the watch simply has no jack für earphoes. One app is a qr-code to download btnotification software for your smartphone, but the code points to a dead link. There is a pedometer that works, but I don't know what it actually does (at least it doesn't count steps) and some other smaller things (alarm, stopwatch, voice recorder, sleep monitor, etc..)

There are only few possibilities for personalisation: 3 (boring) analog watch faces and 3 themes (meaning backgrounds for the menus).

Bluetooh pairing worked well and after I tried some apps from the playstore I got notifications from my smartphone at last. I was able to remote control my smartphone to make and receive calls with the watch and to access the contact list of my phone. I've tried to use a bluetooth headset with the music player but the sound quality ist so very bad, its abolutely useless. So you have to play the music on the tiny built in speaker but who would want that? So the music player ist also useless, which would have been an important feature for me.

my opinion

Don't buy! I will definately return it to the seller, because it is so very not what I wanted.

Ok, it is a cheap watch with benefits and a telephone funktion. The design and built quality is very good for a chinese smartwatch but when it comes to usability, customisation and all day handling there is hardly anything positive to tell. I wanted to post pictures but I didn't understand how. I clicked the icon and was asked to enter some url? Anyway there are some reviews on youtube, just enter one of the names GT08 / CK3s / Oumax S6 which mean all the same device.
[Other SmartWatches] Omessy7:
did you try the mediatek app ? it allows you to some stuff, from playstore. does it look cheap ? I think the bezels are too big for the screen. How much did you get it for ? I have a store here selling it for 68$.

Plus, I have seen it pop a keyboard for typing an SMS, and have a reasonably long battery life. I don't know why you didn't like it. What makes the galaxy Gear 1 for example more special than this ? (forget S-crap)

And did you try having the earphones in THE PHONE, maybe that will make the radio work on the watch, just some thought.
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
Yes, I used the mediatek app. Thats how I made the notifications work although I had some troubles with it loosing the connection or crashing the app. It was not possible to install anything over the app onto the watch, maybe it is made for other models or firmware. It also didn't look, as if there were lot of possibilities with the app and the app had nothing to do with a playstore.

The watch has the ability to write sms and pops up a small onscreen keyboard. It is really small but can be customized. I didn't say I like the Samsung smartwatches better, I didn't try and it would be too expensive and without a real phone funktion. Maybe it's not yet time for a good and cheap smart watch, using real android. There are some offers from simvalley, but their models look really big and ugly.

Of couse I can put earphones in the phone, but what use will the watch have then? It is possible to stream music via bluetooth from the phone to the watch but not the other way. The fm-radio is a feature of the watch and needs the earphones plugged in the watch as an antenna, otherwise noting will happen. I thought it would be possible to use the watch as musicplayer without the phone, but it doesn't work good with bluetooth headset.

I payed about 60€ for the GT08 from a german seller, but I know there are offers from chinese stores about 35$. For me it was important to have the ability to return it easily if something wasn't right and get my money back then.
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
I have noticed that another member of this forum (BigBison420) has made a review of the oumax s6 smart watch some time ago which is the same device. for additional information it might be worth reading. I'm sorry I can't post links yet, but I'm just new to this forum.

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

I mentioned in my review that I will send back the GT08 smart watch, because it was not the real thing I was looking for. Now I found a new device which has nearly the same design, a better screen and runs on android (including playstore). It is just called K8 android 4.2 3G smart watch, I don't know if I'm allowed to tell the sellers page (I cannot post links yet). Here some specs:

OS:Android 4.2

CPU: MTK6572 Dual Core 1.0GHz

GPU: Mali-400 MP

RAM+ROM: 512MB+4GB

Bluetooth version: Bluetooth V2.3

Display: 320*320 pixels

Camera: 2.0MP

Support MP3/MP4/GPS/WiFi/3G Function

Compatibility：Compatible with Android smart phones

Notes: Provide E-file English manual

Note: This phone will only work with GSM+WCDMA networks: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz WCDMA 850/2100MHz

It looks really promising and seems to be a lot smaller and more beautiful than other android watches with those specs and it'll cost below 100$. I can't wait to get it, but delivery will last about two weeks or more. If anyone is interested, I can do another review, altough I didn't have much practice on that...
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
Do you need to flash your device to install VXP apps on it
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
there is no need to flash your watch in order to install .vxp, though those are chinese poorly done apps and I haven't seen yet any MRE sdk around, mediatek is keeping allthe goods hidden... don't ask me why...

I've tried to make work that facebook stuff... no chance

Did you find something better?
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
I got an app to install but when I went back to my menu it did not make a new app page and was not there
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
maybe it wasn't built for our MRE version, you're right, in normal circumstances it has to appear on the new page in menu

Control remote music

Hi. I figured that I can control remote or local music from the watch. But when remote is set I hear a music on my watch. What I really need is to change tracks from the watch but still listening on the phone. Is there a way to do it ?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Hi XDA people!

I have succeeded to decipher (partly) the secrets behind backgrounds and icons our MTK fellows chinese tried to keep aside of us, from now on we can stick our nose as dee we want into the firmware and to change exactly as we like those ugly watchfaces, themes and icons

For now I have created an algorithm, but half of process is processed by a primary app I've built, the other half is manually - eating pretty much time, I hope that soon, I'll get complete the app which will simplify immensely the process

google drive link

Here you have the first demo DZ09 firmware (do not expect too much - replaced watch faces, the classic them is full black and first theme contains XDA logo)

Opinions?
[Other SmartWatches] misiek303:

[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
is not too much to see, is just a demo that the impossible is possible

as about your issue, it has to be there a way to fix it, always is!
[Other SmartWatches] dragon_from_serbia:
Hello

I'm trying for a couple of days to flash DZ09.....without result.After initial problems with drivers,somehow I managed to connect watch and flash tool.But now I have other problems...........

[IMG="Flash tool error"]https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxfKO9ygD33EZTQwTUc2U193ZU0/view?usp=sharing[/IMG]

I have tray almost every rom I could find.......error is always the same.Does anyone know what could be the problem???

The second question is that I have two GT08 only with English and Chinese language......Are there any rom with pre-loaded german Language that I can use???

Thanks:D

I'm really sorry I have to come with bad news, your things are working flawless just . . . your phone has a different series and contains a different type of NOR flash memory, check this script from the firmware configuration file you try to flash:

external_memory:

parameters_version: v1

parameters:

# EMI 1

- flash_info:

flash_type: SF

id_length: 3

flash_id: [0xC8, 0x60, 0x18, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]

memory_type: PSRAM_166MHz

# EMI 2

- flash_info:

flash_id: [0xEF, 0x60, 0x18, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]

memory_type: PSRAM_166MHz

EMI_Setting:

your watch flash_ID is different . . .

Good your phone is still unflashed and still keeps original NVRAM data and maybe they didn't remove it from factory

Check in engineer menu (*#3646633# or *#993646633# and *#8375# or *#998375#) there have to find somewhere information about your flash_ID, maybe you lucky, if not (most probably not), you have to wait to "sweat" from factories new firmwares, just then we can read those codes inside the software, I don't know yet a brute force method to read those right from phone through cable
[Other SmartWatches] dragon_from_serbia:
Ok I have managed to make few pics of flash id...

[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I understand you weren't able to access *#3646633# or *#993646633# . . . there somewhere between the branches of that menu is some info specifically about flash_id

From picture I see that is different type (I mean hardware has same parameters but different generation) your watch is NX9 , most of watches around (including the firmware you try to install) are X9
[Other SmartWatches] dragon_from_serbia:
Yes I dont have German Lang.......I need it
[Other SmartWatches] dragon_from_serbia:
I have mange to access to:*#993646633#
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
F . . . g bastards, they have removed the flash_ID . . . no chance to guess . . . there are 16 millions of combinations
[Other SmartWatches] dragon_from_serbia:
i have checked and re-checked and the results are as follows both GT08 and DZ09 have same firmware with NX9 mark........Rest off settings is the same.....NOR,EMI etc are completely identical........

I have found in another topic that can be installed vpx from sd to watch........I tried the same without success.......
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
You're right, what I'm trying to say is that the memory chip in your phone has a different ID (shown in my first post), if the ID from scatter desn't match with the one inside the chip flashing don't start, as you saw in engineer menu there your flash has 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 and 0 MB memory which show us that was removed purposely in order to avoid copying
[Other SmartWatches] LLLFro:
I changed from a Windows 10 computer to a Windows xp, and the flash worked.

The watch faces that you made look very nice expecially the one with the xda logo.

The only problem for mine was that the touch screen is inverted so I will have to use a different firmware. I did install an app on it that worked, but it was just a phone details app.
