Hello all.

Recently looking at all those innovative cheap non-chinese smartwatches I've got an obsession on picking ones for some random development.

How about we gather some little info on devices ready for custom upgrades and firmwares. Certainly this doesn't include android wear devices as they are ready for development.

Almost all cheap smartwatches do not allow installation of custom apps and some can't even show the time without being connected with your phone!

But some of them allow firmware upgrading/flashing... So I'm looking for any device having some native sdk or compatible with arduino toolkit or anything else.

1. A perfect example of what am I looking for is sony smartwatch mn2. They already have:

- open smartwatch project with it's ported arduino toolkit

- star wars game on mn2

I would probably pick those but they're pretty old and lack some sensors.

2. The second one is weloop tommy. (suggested by qkall and raicg)

These have a huge standby time (I guess more than the first pebble), waterproof but they have accelerometer inside only and no touchscreen. I guess the price is huge comparing to others.

Still there is an opensource project around with a custom firmware.

As I understand a huge work is done and the device was carefully examined and all that pin-out stuff was collected to make it working and you're pretty ready to go with development of your own features.

My next possible targets are mt2502 based watches as there are some stuff (mediatek linkit) around on mediatek site.

I'm unsure if this sdk will allow to do something with randomly picked mt2502 watches.

So I'm interested in any info if someone tried this or had any other success on development/moding of their watches.

Thx.

I feel like I'm being a bit slutty with this today... but the Weloop Tommy might be interesting to you:

NO.1 SUN S2 has firmware available new watch with decent specs. Here is some firmwares for it http://en.001phone.cn/download-19.html I bought mine on gearbest.com but right now they're selling a crappier version probably preproduction stuff
[Other SmartWatches] gvma:
They are nice but their price is huge when you think about their hardware.

I didn't mean any watches that have official firmware binaries.

I'm talking about totally customized firmwares, original firmware sources, sdk toolkits for mt6260/2502 soc or arduino toolchain port.

I want to pick some cheap smartwatches like u8/u80/20$-45$ and do some coding.

I wonder if someone who have mt2502 device would check the mediatek sdks on the possibility to build custom firmware (look for mediatek labs linkit one sdk, that SoC has mt2502 cpu and complete IDE).

Also most cheap devices use mt6260 but I didn't find much info about it.

I'm glad that someone answered me and thanks for you replies!

I suggest to you the weloop

The great on weloop smartwatch is the battery time, up to 21 days! And it's waterproof!

One user has a open firmware project of weloop Smartwatch: https://hackaday.io/project/4510-open-source-sportsmart-watch

Take a look, it's open firmware.

[Samsung Gear 2] McGuigew:
This won't work if your Gear 2 is still running Tizen, sorry.

The original DPI on Biktor's Android wear for Gear2 is 280. I found that changing it a little improves everything a lot.

Here is how you do it :

1) Enable USB debugging on your watch and connect it to you PC.

2) Start ADB

3) If for whatever reason, you want to know what your current DPI is, type this : adb shell wm density

4) To change DPI, type this : adb shell wm density 200 (yeah, I suggest 200 for Gear2, but the choice is yours)

The screenshot on the left is with DPI 200, the one on the right with original 280 DPI.

Enjoy :cowboy:

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PangurBan:
I've been at this for 10 hours. I'm seriously about to lose it. Like, I'm actually feel exhausted from trying to fix this problem.

I flashed to a stock recovery and did a factory reset. Nothing. I downloaded the factory rom software thing from HTC and ran it... It initialized and then gets to the end of the loading bar and disappears without a trace.

When I go into the 4G settings area nothing is there. It's just blank.

I don't know what to do?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PangurBan:
Okay, so I was able to successfully root the phone and install cyanogenmod, but I still have no service. And I can't seem to change the CDMA Subscription [Settings, Mobile Networks, CDMA subscription] to RUIM/SIM. I click it and nothing happens. Reopen it to click it again and it's right back to NV? Hmm.

I successfully reflashed to stock android using the HTC RUU.

Yet I still have absolutely no service?? What the hell..?

Please, somebody, if you have any idea on how to fix this... I really can't afford to just buy a new phone because this thing is being stubborn for unknown reasons.
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRSwole:
So I just got an LG G pad 10.1 VK700 from Verizon the other day. I rooted the device on the first day but never really added any additional apps or software.

Another member in the household was using the tablet and it asked if they wanted to accept the VZW Update for KitKat 5.0. They downloaded the update, and now the tablet is stuck in a bootloop at the Fastboot screen.

There are only 3 options I can select from this screen in the top left using the volume keys: RESTART, RESTART BOOTLOADER & POWER OFF. Any time I select either of the restart options, the screen just goes blank and hangs. I have to manually power off, and upon turning back on I am right back to this limited Fastboot menu.

Bottom left reads:

FASTBOOT MODE

PRODUCT_NAME - E9LTE_VZW

VARIANT - e9lte_vzw Toshiba 16GB

HW VERSION - rev_10

BOOTLOADER VERSION - N/A

BASEBAND VERSION - N/A

CARRIER INFO - N/A

SERIAL NUMBER - VZ7005xxxxxxx

SECURE BOOT - disabled

LOCK STATE - locked

I booted into Recovery mode, but any of the options I select from the System recovery menu send me right back to the Fastboot screen.

Is there anything to be done at this point?

UPDATE: Problem solved. Research into the other variants of the LG G Pad lead me to the the LG Mobile Support Tool, which you can find by googling B2CAppSetup.exe.

Now, if you are stuck in a Fastboot loop as I was, I ended up having to restart the device while holding down the Power + Volume UP & DOWN. This brought up a screen displaying a bar code and the device MSN and IMEI number. Using this number return to the LG Mobile Support tool and select Options>Upgrade Recovery. Even if your device is already plugged in via USB, the software will not recognize the device -- you may want to double check to make sure your device drivers were installed prior to this step. Input your IMEI number into the box and restart the device in to download mode. It took a few attempts due to the quick action of Fastboot, but I was finally able to access the menu while USB was plugged in to the device and restarting while holding the Volume + key. Now you can continue with the installation and you will be back into your tablet in no time.
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRSwole:
I have access to the device via usb / fastboot, adb is not registering. If anyone has any suggestions on what I can try, please let me know. I do not have a backup or a version of the OEM ROM. Every effort so far just sends me right back to the Fastboot screen with 3 options. Anything I can run from command prompt using fastboot alone that would help in this situation? Any way to do a factory restore without having an actual OEM image?
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadrumgod:
Well im stuck at the verizon screen too but for a different reason

Hello I have the exact same model I got 28th my g4 and successfully rooted with kingroot and used supersume to change it to supersu. Everything was perfect and running fine and I tried an entropy engine I use on my other rooted phone and it was not help so I disabled it and rebooted like I have with my other one before and it stuck at that horrible red screen lol. I haven't done anything else major to alter anything to do with the OS like installing an OTA and I can only get to the same screens as you. My problem is I don't have a PC and haven't in a very long time and if I get to one I wouldn't know where to start out, last computer I owned has a floppy disk lol but I don't see how I would need to re flash the entire OS because of an entropy engine hickup. If you or anyone know of a way to slap this thing back to reality I would highly appreciate it. I got very familiar with the android os and how it works but never had a PC to go beyond a basic root so technically I'm still a noob in a way. I only care to expand dual window to other apps if I get it fixed cuz I'm not gonna risk screwing with it any more now than I have to, my luck is too bad lol thanks in advance
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRSwole:
If you are stuck in this particular Fastboot loop without a computer I am afraid your options are going to be very limited. The only thing I can imagine that you would be able to try is restarting the tablet while holding down the Power + Volume Down keys to access the stock System recovery menu. You can try to use Factory data reset and Wipe cache to see if that can resolve the issue, but for me every attempt to perform actions from this menu brought me right back to the Fastboot screen. The only other way I could communicate to the device in this scenario was using command line, and even then I could only access fastboot and not abd.

I would highly advise getting at least a cheap older laptop with Windows if you plan on rooting any device, otherwise the dangers will far outweigh the benefits. I'm just hoping some development comes along for the VK700 G Pad 10.1, at least a TWRP or CWM release.
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadrumgod:
Thanks for your response, I have unfortunately tried that too and wipe cache, reset , all back to fastboot. I figured it would be impossible without a pc. Oh yea my stock recovery says modified in the top left corner, but anyway I can get access to a PC But honestly it's been awhile since I even needed to use one and don't know exactly where to start, like navigating around, and how to install what software on the pc. I can't find anyone that will walk me through it locally or online and every tutorial I find is missing some lil step I need. I know Android in detail but after basic root my experience hits a brick wall. I'm capable of more jus got to get broke in on a pc again. Now I only care to root for stuff like freezing apps, gesture control, and really want to use any app in dual window. Ain't screwing with any system tweaks again it was pointless lol I guess I need all the right files and hit up the pc...can't really do worse no??
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadrumgod:
Oh yea I almost forgot I got side tracked earlier. I know there is already a twrp, I have 2 versions (2.8...something and the next version strait off twrp site. I was the one guy it wouldn't flash through flashify for but others claimed it did. God knows really, but I'm gonna wait till I have a PC of my own before I touch my g4 but man the ability to open any app in dual window is just too damn sweet...if I could only change that one word on build prop to false without all the other hassle
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnomesinrome:
I tried following your recommendation, but the LGMobile Support Tool said the device wasn't plugged in no matter which combination of buttons I pushed while running the Upgrade Recovery option, and I wasn't able to figure out how to get to download mode either.
[G Pad 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
If your problem is from an OTA failing due to taking it while modded and you can get to fastboot the following command might fix it:

fastboot erase cache

That will delete the OTA zip and break the bootloop.

Hello, today my Moto G 2 developed an issue, I was sitting on the couch using it, locked it, put it next to me, used my laptop for a few minutes, then when I picked it up to check it, the screen would not turn on. The battery was on about 48% when I put it down. I am running stock Android 5.0.2 and have not ever attempted to root or unlock this particular phone. It has been running 5.0.2 since the day it allowed me to install it via the update section in the settings, and I have not taken part in any soak tests.

I have not posted enough to enable me to post the thread with the video in it, so here's the link: watch/2nlpzj0Wqrc (just paste this in after typing in youtube)

I'm apologize in advance if this issue has been asked about before and fixed, however, all I could find is the issue with it not turning on at all, where it is simply the fact that the battery died and the phone was not plugged in it time.

Yes, I've tried safe mode, same problem arises.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] levenum:
Unfortunately this is not going to work for WM 5.

This cursor is a recourse in shellres.dll (if I am not mistaking). VJ once posted a site here that offered tons of replacements (even a hamster), but the problem is - since this is a system file in WM 5 it needs to be signed.

So you would have to edit security settings on your device, install a certificate and sign the file with this certificate.

You can find the info on how to do this if you search but it is a bit tricky.

Good luck.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xQlusive:
Dah..that seems complicated..:/ anyone kn0w if this waiting cyrcle changes at wm6??:o
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vijay555:
xQlusive - if you post is a question, please try to put a question mark in the title, not a !. Otherwise it looks like you know how to change the circle and want to tell everyone, which is clearly incorrect.

WM6 has a different wait cursor, the Vista style round circles IIRC.

It can be changed, but of the three ways I can think of, none are particularly easy due to the increased security in WM5 and 6. If you're a newbie, it might not be worth the effort.

This guide is for people that have always problems with drivers, ADB or fastboot problems, with this guide you will clear all.

Tested and working with windows 8.1 (it will work with all other versions of windows, probably not with Windows 10 preview).

*0) Unplug of course the phone from the PC

1) Download USBDeview (32bit version here http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip - 64bit version here http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip) to erase every driver on the pc (look under "Description" tab and uninstall all Asus things, MOOREFIELD, delete also your previous phones drivers or unused devices)

2) Reboot

3) If you are on windows 8 or 8.1 disable driver signature verification and than install

1- Intel Drivers https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices

2- ADB Installer http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118 (don't change installation path)

4) Reboot

5) Go in C:/adb, hold shift on keyboard, right click in the folder and "Open command prompt here"

6) Go to recovery with the phone plugged in

7) Tap apply update from ADB Sideload

7) Type in the previous cmd window: adb devices

If you can see your device, congratulations!

Thanks to [MENTION=4970357]cangcan[/MENTION] to this other tip:

If you installed bluestack on your pc, adb will show 'device emulator' something like that and you need to turn off the bluestack service..

1. Go to start and type services.msc

2. Look for Bluestack android service

3. Stop or disable the service

Its messing up my adb connection in windows 7 and now the zf2 device is recognised on adb after disabled Bluestack services..
