I have unbricked my vk 810.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juleast:
Hi, I'm wondering how you unbricked it? I'm getting the same errors trying to unbrick with boarddiag. It fails on AP 😥.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasey82:
1. First Find The TOT file for the corresponding machine.

2.9008 drivers installed; I tried 64-bit systems and had a good chance of getting through AP and Emmc, Preferably Xp;

3. BORADDING version 2.99. I've been stuck in AP and EMMC many times, but I've learned a few things. Select the CPU model, port(COM), file directory your know,now ,you can first select AP and PMIC ON. if pass; select AP, Emmc TEST and Sdram TEST. Here's a chance to PASS it all. If you can't pass,keep the BORADDING Interface, press POWR long enough until the port(COM) is rerecognized, and then run AP, EMMC, and SDRAM.

4. If the step 3 does not pass, remove the battery and repeat step 3.

希望能帮到你们

When will WM6 unbranded ROM be released ?

any news from EU sites ?
[Palm Treo 750] deCorvett:
:rolleyes:

Waiting for the same, but in spanish. And right now I doubt that Vodafone is going to publish it. So with a ROW ROM I will be satisfied.

Does anyone have it?

:cool:
[Other SmartWatches] soulclaimed:
I emailed gearbest they dint have it and didn't tell me if it was available for preorder looks nice though
[Other SmartWatches] fred7106:
I saw it on alibaba and I have contacted the seller and he said that is a prototype watch that could be available starting from the beginning of november.
[Other SmartWatches] ganjah957:
Hello everyone.

I am very interested in this model.

Someone can facilitate link alibaba?

I order a unit to gearbest.

They have already announced also in Igogo, everbuying.

In gearbest they have told me that still has not arrived.
[Other SmartWatches] webmarketingtraffic:
who is the manufacturer?

I like this watch alot. I think there is a need for round watches with android 4.4 and google play store loaded on it.

My main question is who makes this watch or even the original k8? I have seen aiwatch, invtepy and some other names but arent they just oems?

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] slamandar:
it look awesome , but the price is a little high ?
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
It is seems to be a "Zeaplus K18": http://www.gizchina.com/2015/09/25/zeaplus-k18-smartwatch/

I talked today with Gearbest and they said it will ready for shipment in few days :confused:

Can't believe no-one has this watch yet!

It looks great but no hands on information anywhere?
[Other SmartWatches] The_Baguette:
I'm thinking about buying this device, I've just got in contact with Everbuying (the site I am purchasing from) and I will be sure to let you all know what the response is. If I end up buying this I will also do an unboxing and review on my YouTube channel at youtube.com/theepiclysnipes

I am also thinking of creating a custom ROM for this device as the devices design is really quite great, however I feel like the UI makes it look cheap :/

Let me know if you have any other info! Cheers!!
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Nice, keep us posted when you get it ?
[Other SmartWatches] The_Baguette:
Will do! Just ordered it then, not sure how long it will take to get from China to Australia but I will keep you all posted
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Nice :)
[Other SmartWatches] The_Baguette:
Ok so it turns out that the website I ordered my watch from doesn't ship it... I was told by someone on YouTube that they bought it and they didn't ship it and they refused to refund their money... I've sent them a message though and if I don't hear anything by Wednesday I will contact PayPal and get my money back, then I will more than likely buy a moto 360 locally... I'll keep you all posted, fingers crossed.
[Other SmartWatches] MosheDrori:
where did you buy it?

I personally made an order via gearbest. they said that there is a delay in stock of 1-2 weeks, and offered to replace, wait or refund.
[Other SmartWatches] luigiwidmore:
and what did you choose? refund or wait? and also , when did this happen? any chance it s back in stock now? I m using the zgpax s8 for a while now and this one really looks like it s worth the upgrade.
[Other SmartWatches] The_Baguette:
I purchased mine from Everbuying and it seems they just don't ship some of their products, weather they're out of stock or not I'm not sure because it didn't say they were but I've sent them a message and I'm hoping for a response... Also someone else had the same problem with the same product and they said after 3 emails to them they still refused to refund it. Hopefully either they will tell me they were out of stock or they will refund my money, because if not I'll have to sort it out with PayPal...
[Other SmartWatches] The_Baguette:
I just received a reply from Everbuying saying that they were out of stock and I should wait 10-15 days for more stock to arrive, however I now have enough for a moto 360 so I will be purchasing one of them... I may purchase a watch similar to this one and do custom roms, etc. In the future but for now I kind of just want to know what I'm purchasing, thank everyone!

APN issue (can't create a new one)

Hi,

I tried several apps to create automatically an APN - without success.

I found HiAPN (attached) which seems to enable you an alternative APN creation screen. however, it crushes when you try to save it. (also it says "no permissions" in auto APN.

Can someone who understand in depth to take a look, or to help me to determaine my local APN in other way?

Name: Orange 3G

APN: uinternet

Proxy:

Port:

Username: orange

Password: orange

Server:

MMSC:

MMS proxy:

MMS port:

MCC: 425

MNC: 01

APN type: default,supl

I need assistance pls .... :)

thx,

Moshe
[Other SmartWatches] fLaMePr0oF:
Mine gets it's APN from the SIM, maybe try a new SIM...
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
I know that, but the IMEI can be modified before and/or after restoring it on the phone. ;)
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Yeah, I wondered if you could edit it, so that's good. Did you check out the backup I posted in the firmware thread?

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

You need to install busy box. Try again after that
[Other SmartWatches] campy74:
no luck, I've installed busy box but the Gmail Installer doesn't installing to the device :(
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Mmm, did you sideload it or run as a an apk from the SD card?
[Other SmartWatches] campy74:
I copied it in the download directory to the phone through USB.
[Other SmartWatches] Vibor:
You have to have rooted watch, mount R/W and so on, in order to edit-change or create manually carrier data.

I didn't root my watch yet, so I don't know the content of database : /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db of K8 watch.

Most of folks don't have this kind of problem because they have carrier-providers data in the database.

Unfortunately my country carriers are not in the database so automatically creation of APN data doesnt work, as in yours.

I really don't understand why it is impossible to manually add and edit APN data?

It is possible in any smartphone...maybe round watch issue?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Oh, did you guys make sure that "unknown sources" was enabled in Developer settings? I forgot to put that in the instructions. If that doesn't work I'm not sure what else I can suggest for a quick and easy way to install gapps as I don't have a K8 to work with.

I'd love to help you guys out more and bring over what I've learned from my Truesmart/x201 and inWatch development. However, we just bought our first house and any device purchases are a no go for a long time. So I'm kind of going at this blind, sorry.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Thanks again [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] ,

It's ticked by default so I will give it a go and see what happens.

No luck. Sideload maybe?
[Other SmartWatches] car2nman:
I really would like to know if you can make and receive calls from the watch just from it being paired through Bluetooth. I would think it would route the call volume from the phone to the speaker on the watch. Is this possible if you don't want to have to mess with a sim card? Thanks! Hope to hear a positive response soon! :)
[Other SmartWatches] Vibor:
if you are address APN issue the answer is: Everythings works fine except mobile data connections so you can't use internet on/via mobile data!
[Other SmartWatches] MosheDrori:
Can't use mobile data?!? This is a serious problem... I was expecting to navigate with it... To use it completely as a replacement from specific usage. Does everyone cannot receive mobile data??
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
That is just one person who cannot access mobile data. This watch is perfectly fine for everyone else.

I would go as far as to say it is very good indeed!

The APN issue can be fixed if the user who has the problem searches google about the problem. It may involve editing the .xml file but as I said - all this can be found on the internet.

Might be a good start to install the MTK engineering tool to trouble-shoot.

I have 3g+ running all the time with no problems at all and I think that is true for everyone else too.

GPS works very well.

WiFi works very well but the MAC changes on re-boot - not a problem for people with DHCP.

Voice calls and bluetooth work perfectly well.

SMS works well.

Storage is a little on the low side so I am looking into putting a larger SD in to the watch.

Build quality and wear-ability are good.

All in all a very good device!
[Other SmartWatches] MosheDrori:
Pablo - I spent hours on the internet, tried every APN apk there...

I rooted my watch with kinguser 4.1. one of the APN apk looks like working (it used the root, it pushes Israel Orange APN and restarted automatically - but nothing has changed).

I used the secondary sim of my carrier - Orange Israel, so I switched with the primary one. I received now SMS but still don't get cell internet, although it stated 3G (now and before as well). when Wifi is working it also shows 3G"h", but when i closed the Wifi, the "h" disappears.

I tried to receive APN by push SMS from the carrier, but the reply back stated that the device doesn't support auto APN push.

Except changing my carrier, I did everything within my knowledge level. I'll appreciate your help...

thx,

Moshe
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I think that part of the problem is that we cannot access regular Android settings with this software.

There is also a method by editing the .xml file which dictates the default APNs - you need to search for the method - if I get time I will look for it.

I have never tried using a sim which is also used (primary & secondary) by another device.

Can you make calls with the sim or is it just data which is the problem?
[Other SmartWatches] Vibor:
Pablo, Moshe, concerning APN issue let's make conclusions:

1. At least two guys in two different countries have the same problem: SIM card does not create APN data automatically! I tried two SIM cards from different carriers in my country. Calls and everything else works fine.

2. Most of the time, smartphones already have carriers settings in the system files, and can fill in the APN information automatically when it connects. Obviously it is not the case for carriers in my country (VIPNET and Tele2).

3. This problem can be solved if you can add-create/edit APN data. For most phones, this will be done manually. My watch (Moshes too) does not have this possibility. Question for you Pablo: Does your watch has this possibility?

4. It is possible to find solution, of course. I found it, ...almost :p! I have full rooted smartphone with all permissions. In telephony.db I deleted my country carrier APN data and after that I have same problem as in watch. But with small and very important difference: In smartphone I can add manually APN data.

5. As you Pablo wrote already " Kingroot didn't give enough permissions on it's own". With full rooted watch and with enough permissions problem will be solved by adding carrier APN data in telephony.db. In the meanwhile I suggest: wait until some smart guys do full rooted watch!
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I believe you could edit the telephony.db with the permissions I have. I can get into system folders and change kernel governor and speed.

I have kingroot and busy box installed and it gets this far.

I am playing around with other things using MTK tools and Droid Explorer.

I am concentrating on a recovery which will let us flash .zip files. I'm going to try the MTK - CWM recovery first to see if it's usable on this round screen.
[Other SmartWatches] car2nman:
Thanks for the info. However I don't quite understand your answer. Am I able to make and receive calls on this watch by having it paired to my phone? I don't want to bother with the SIM card.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
A more hands on possible fix for gapps. Pull the minimal gapps I linked, and extract the zip. Be rooted and run the gapps install script using adb. There should be a few guides on XDA on how to do this. The script should push the files as well as set proper permissions.

Unless they have a companion app, this will be very difficult to pull off. The watches firmware needs to have the proper BT config and the firmware needs to allow for it. Another way to look at it is you are trying to turn a phone into a companion device.

Cyril's SWApp link app might be able to act as a companion app but I'm not sure if he still updates it. The issue is it acts like a layer on top of you launcher so the notifications are limited to the app.
[Other SmartWatches] Vibor:
APN issue

APN Problem solved.

As I wrote in previous message the problem was "no carrier APN data in system file "telephony.db".

According to advice by Pablo I did it in few steps:

1. Root by KingRoot4.1-release-20150703-for-xda.apk (thanks Pablo)

2. Install Busybox 3.6

3. Install Root Explorer

4. From rooted smartphone by root explorer copy telephony.db from: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db to SD card and after that to PC

4. Copy telephony.db from PC to watch: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db (replace existing telephony.db with new one from smartphone).

5. Restart watch and you will see in APN directory carrier APN data; internet works on mobile data :laugh:
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Excellent :) nice to hear!

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

Thanks [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION]. I'm looking into this now.

I am concerned that the .prop will stop us using the apps when we do finally get them installed. It probably has Chinese entries that Google will reject for sign-in authentication - but hopefully I'm wrong :)

Still having issues making the standard CWM recovery using the MTK toolset. Everything seems fine except when you ask it to make the CWM. It completes the task but there is never a custom recovery created.

Just the stock factory_NONmodified_recovery is produced - need recovery most of all at the moment I think.
[Other SmartWatches] fLaMePr0oF:
Play store

Has anyone managed to install Gapps yet, or even just play store?

If so a tutorial would be much appreciated ;)

By the way, in the absence of Play Store, the attached apk (delete .zip) will install Amazon App store so you can get some apps on there :good:

Not all navigation is visible on the round screen but the lower button works for Menu, so you can reach any app listed in your cloud :laugh:

If you can't find the app you want (as search is unavailable), just install it on another device from Amazon App Store, then when you go to 'My Apps > Cloud' it will be waiting for you there...
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I am working on the G-Apps problem. Thanks for the alternative :)

As mentioned before I may have to look into the issue with Chinese build files that may prevent us from using Google apps.

I'll let you know once I get through this.
[Other SmartWatches] MosheDrori:
GREAT NEWS!

Thx both Vibor and Pablo, I'll try this first thing this evening.
[Other SmartWatches] MosheDrori:
YEAAAHHHH!

Finally...

Great job Vibor, Pablo and everyone. this is why I use android since HTC Sensation.... The best friendly development ppl

I can close my Ticket in GearBest ;)
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Use a stylus and check to make sure it can backup/format/restore/flash/etc. I strongly suggest you backup your IMEI and MACs first. If it does, adjust the layout/theme to the display. It may take some time but the edits are fairly easy to make and implement. One way to get positioning down a bit faster is use large changes then split the difference every time afterwards. So, too far left then too far right, split then you get cut the error in half, and so on til you get in the "neighborhood ". Once you get close, then use very small changes to fine tune.

Hit up some of the TWRP theming threads/guides if you get stuck.
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
Thank you for support.

I'm hardly working on theme as round interface is really a big challenge, as pablo11 noted before. :)

Every function is 100% working!
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
If I can every find somebody to mug I'll buy one and help out. But you guys will probably have TWRP, and more, done by then. :p
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Are you able to share the recovery?

I have tried all the auto toolsets for Philz and TWRP but they will never boot to recovery :(
[Other SmartWatches] stvbreal:
I just got mine today and I have to say the build quality is quite good. Screen is sharp, very responsive and the black is true black making watch faces pop. Dig the sweeping second hand.

Speaking of watch faces, it sure looks like this thing uses android wear type watch faces. Even the pick interface looks like the Huawei. I like the stock ones but would like more. When you tap the '+' at the end of the list you get 'No new clock skin'. Where can you get more? Be nice to have something like Watchmaker. Facerepo has tons of choice faces that would look sweet on this thing. I think first things first though, getting GApps\Gmail\YouTube working first. :D

BTW, Kingroot 4.1 worked like a champ.

Also be nice to change the stock weather from Celsius to Fahrenheit, and the clock from 24h to 12h. :P
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I just had a tense moment.

I flashed the wrong recovery and this time it was as dead as can be. Nothing, not even recognised by the PC in flash mode.

I thought it was dead so after hunting around in the back of the watch I managed to find the battery connector and removed it.

Now it boots again after re-connecting :)

Damn, badly need this recovery!!!
[Other SmartWatches] MosheDrori:
lol... Possible heart attack...
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Yep. Was a little bit nervous there for a while :)
[Other SmartWatches] MosheDrori:
Notification bulb light - does anyone knows if exist?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Doesn't seem to exist. Apps don't seem to have permission to send notifications to main (watch-face) screen either.
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
I'm at work now, please allow me few hours to have fully "round themed" recovery, otherwise some of the feature appear almost unusable.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:

Fully functional Google Apps !

Ok, I don't now exactly what I do, but I received yesterday this watch (I bought it 10 oct, I live in spain) and now I have the smartwatch with google play installed: maps, gmail, gesture search, gesture keyboard (awesome for this small screen)... and all the apps that I've bought in google play store.

This is that I do:

Connect the watch to the computer. In the watch screen, accept as storage

Send KingRoot4.1.apk (you can get it from this post) and RootExplorer.apk (find it, I use version 3.3.6) o the watch, with the computer not by bluetooth.

Send to the watch the Gapps zip file (I use GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip)

Install KingRoot with the explorer of watch. Runs it and root the watch/phone. Reboot.

Install Root Explorer

... after this, I recognise that I did a lot of things, everything without results: try to install gapps with "adb sideload" , "adb fastboot" ... installed with "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe". Also I tried with MtkDroidTools_253. I say that, because I don't know if one of these maybe help finally.

Desperateley, I tried the option more clear (and beast): With Root Explorer, go to "system" and change permissions in this folder to read/write for everybody (777)

Unzip locally (in the watch memory) the gapps zip. with Root Explorer, manually, copy each folder in the un-compressed folder "system" to the root "system" folder; for example, I uncompress the Gapps.zip file into "/sdcard/Downloads/" and I have many files and folders: META-INF, optional, system, install-optionsl.sh. Copy each folder in "/sdcard/Downloads/system" to "[root]/system" folder with Root Explorer. It will call that the folder exist, and if you want to combined them. Yes.

After that, reboot phone.

Try it. At one moment also I install each app in folder "system/priv-app" manually, but i think that it doesn't affect. Sorry for my English. I send also some photo.

Cooking with gas!!

Nice work mate :good:

I did it a slightly different way:

Managed to get a fully working G-Apps set up by flashing this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/68912738/open_gapps-arm-4.4-nano-20151106.zip in recovery.

Tricky to sign in to Google but it can be done with a little patience :) This is a very light version with voice, play store and the google app itself - to keep performance up.

Once installed you can get anything you want from the store.

Remember to use the bottom right button to help get through. It's pretty slow but it works.

A fully ported recovery is coming from cyrux75 so it can be done easily from now on. :good:

Give the file awhile to upload :)
