TWRP Recovery for K8 Mini and D5

Ok everyone,

Now that [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] has published this http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/oth...d5-k8-mini-t3313788/post65293239#post65293239

for the D5, K8 Mini and X1 - here is the SP Tool flashable TWRP recovery image by [MENTION=3882281]cyrux75[/MENTION]

so all credit is to him for this

. :good:

An incredible amount of time and work went into this and I think you will agree that the resulting touch format is fantastic - he has made something special here !!

This recovery is suitable for D5, K8 Mini and X1 and possibly K9 - depending on screen resolution.

Attached a pic of new format

The install is the same procedure as described in the K8 Round custom rom thread so refer to it if in doubt.

Usual disclaimers apply - we are not responsible for anyone's issues here. Use this at your own risk !!

1) Install MTK drivers required - there are many tutorials available for this so please ask me how to do this.

2) Use the supplied scatter file and just select "download" and only tick the recovery image in the list within SP Tool.

3) Make sure watch is powered off and then connect your watch to your pc and it will flash in a couple of seconds. Job done :)

I have also included a copy of MobileUncle.apk - useful for rebooting to recovery amongst other things.

I strongly recommend that you use this in conjunction with the SP Tool flashable rom which Lokifish posted and I linked above - they were made for each other and would have been released together in an ideal world...

My k8 mini is alive again.

I follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/oth...d5-k8-mini-t3313788/post65293239#post65293239

And everything is ok
[Other SmartWatches] korayaaa:
I am very happy to hear that from you. I tried that thread too I installed the mtk drivers and disconnect the battery of watch then open SP tool and connect the watch to my pc. But connection always dropping in and out. I can see it in the device manager it appears and disappears in a second. So my watch still same. Can you write the how you did your watch alive step by step?
[Other SmartWatches] suisss:
I left my smartwatch always connected via USB (with the battery connected). As it is in boot loop I never turned it off. With the MK Drivers installed I ran the SP tools with the W812a v1.0.0 carpet as described in the thread.

I tried the D5 Recovery files for SP tool but without success.
[Other SmartWatches] fraluca:
OK...I found a very big problem in my watch, the ic battery protection is burned, but I fix it and then I load the NO.1 D5's rom. The watch seems work...a day without issue...it's a new record for me

I take a picture of the ic...maybe tomorrow I can upload it
[Other SmartWatches] korayaaa:
Yep, finally I did it :o thank you so much...when I connect the battery process ends with succes.
[Other SmartWatches] korayaaa:
Hi, last night I repaired the watch :o It was a software problem. I did what [MENTION=1195332]suisss[/MENTION] say and my watch alive now. But you can take a picture anyway maybe nexth time someone will have the same problem and needs it.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Hi, at last I did it. In the first time I tried with battery disconnect but when flashing the your W812a ROM it stops at %10 percentage. Next time flashing the rom when the battery connected and process ends with succes. Now my watch works perfect. Thank you so much.:good:

K8 Mini stock firmware

Is there any place to download the K8 mini stock firmware? I´ve read through the threads (K8, D5, W812a rom) thoroughly, but haven´t been able to find the stock firmware for k8 mini. I´ve understood though, that flashing stock D5 firmware to the K8 mini is basically just as good?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I'll upload it as soon as I get a chance but the K9 software is much better from here when new version is uploaded http://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/k9-3g-da-house-t3313103/page2
[Other SmartWatches] digibox:
Thanks! Tested, and works well.
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
I have followed your instructions but when I connect the watch I get an error message from sp-flash tool: "PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded."

Did I make a mistake?

Edit: Is it possible to flash this recovery manually with adb in fastboot mode, or is this file not meant to be installed like that?
[Other SmartWatches] Gabrikira:
Use another version of spflastool, i got the same error, and with spflash tool v 1352.01 works well. Cheers

calls

What functionality is there in regards to calling via bluetooth use?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I don't use it for that. I have to wonder why would you buy a standalone phone watch if this is what you want to do?
[Other SmartWatches] nrombold:
Because of the os it uses. I would want more than a generic interface. The OK Google function and being able to take and make calls through the watch while leaving my phone in pocket or left laying near by would be awesome.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
From what I'm seeing, the BT phone link in the D5/K8 mini is for notifications only, no direct calling from watch through phone's SIM. It would be great if there were an app out there on the Play Store to add this functionality, as it is needed on ALL standalone smart watch phones that I know of if one wants to do this.

As an open call to anyone reading this, have you found such an app? It would need to allow for answering incoming calls to the phone's number from the watch and placing outgoing calls (with synced contacts list from the phone) directly from the watch without touching (or unlocking) the phone. This is standard for tethered watches, so it should be easy to implement as there's nothing in a standalone watch which would inhibit the BT from doing it with the right software on both phone and watch. This is the most asked for feature I hear on my YouTube channel when reviewing standalone watches. There's gotta be a solution out there.
[Other SmartWatches] nrombold:
I've watched your videos on YouTube and am subscribed as well. Agreed I don't wanna use as a standalone looking to use as an extension of my phone. Appreciate the response and request of the xda community.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
"Call Audio" is a firmware level issue, the BT stack (think drivers) doesn't support it. If we were extremely lucky, a stack swap might fix it but I know I've not had any luck so far.

My watch is a D5, but I'm posting this here as well since the K8 mini is so similar.

I just activated Weather for the USA! But I need your help....

I'm not sure what happened, but I decided to disable system apps I don't plan on using and/or may be eating battery. Doing this somehow activated the weather app and bot it and the barometer are now working. I did these all at once so I don't know which one(s) are responsible. If you're not receiving weather on your watch and want to give this a try, please disable them one by one and let me know which one was blocking weather. Thanks.

I don't plan on using a SIM so I disabled *Dialer* and *Messages*

I don't plan on using the Chinese keyboard so I disabled *PinyinIME*

I'm not planning on using daydreams, so I disabled *Basic Daydreams*

I'm hoping to use the Google calendar so I disabled the installed *Calendar*

Even though pulse and step are fun, to minimize battery drain I disabled *Health*

After rebooting the weather info magically appeared.

Your help in understanding this would be appreciated. Thanks.

PS. If you're having difficulty getting to the Android App Manager to disable apps, try installing *Settings Search* from the Google Play Store.
[Other SmartWatches] hideffer:
Not sure if this is helpful but my K8 Mini Weather and Barometer has always worked on the stock ROM. I flashed the K9 ROM and the Weather and Barometer is also working. No battery issues. Nothing disabled.

Dear hideffer,

Thank you so much for your quick reply, I have the Watch Helper installed on my mobile phone.

Hello,

I was able to flash TWRP to my X1 watch ... by I didn't get the very interessting version you are talking about. I see see still the standard version of TWRP ... but this version is useless for the round X1 watch. For flashing I have used your scatter *.txt file and the D5 recovery image.

Why went the flashing wrong ?

No ideas ?

However ... is here someone able to write a recovery boot image which does after booting - before it jumps into its handling of its menu - at first the installation of a fix defined zip archive ? Just to root the watch ?

Regards

Loopoo

battery don't charge

I bought this watch in gearbest. When I connect to the base no charge. Only when I press my fingers the base and achieving load clock for a moment. GearBeast me from sending a base / charger again but doubt that will fix the problem. Can somebody help me?

I read this in AliExpress:

"1. Q: I can’t charge my watch / bracelet and it doesn’t power on, what should I do?

A: If this is the first time you’ve charged your watch / bracelet, please use the adapter to power it, charge it for more than 3 hours, then press the button to start it;

If you have not used the watch / bracelet for a long time without charging it, the battery would have opened the UVP function. In this situation, you need to activate the battery before using. (You can go to the phone repair shop to activate the battery)".

Is it possible my problem?
[Other SmartWatches] hideffer:
Try the scatter file in the K9 thread. Search for K9 SPTools posted by [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION]. Follow his instructions for flashing TWRP by renaming 2 files.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Don't see how it was wrong for you but attached is the same recovery I posted before and it is the one with the new layout as pictured in the post above.

If you are flashing this to a stock K8 Mini the scatter file might be slightly different - the D5 and K9 are also very slightly different.

I have a copy of each of them - let me know how it goes.

[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
I've found nothing in the app's code or the watch's firmware that allows for this. As far as third party apps, I have yet to find anything.
[Other SmartWatches] Loopoo:
Yes .. now. it worked perfectly !! My problem was at the end some trouble with the USB VCOM driver on my outdated Win XP machine.

The new TWRP looks great and worked 100% !! My K8 mini is now routed and the issue with the random MAC address is solved.

BTW ... an very interessting APP is the "Remote Shot" application ... it fits 100% to the round screen of the watch. Working are also AFWall+, Android Assistant, File manager "com.rhmsoft.fm", WIFI Analyzer, Stopwatch "com.android.stopwatch", OsmAnd.

I'm looking still for a working "simple calculator" ...

Thanks a lot !!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscreater:
After a firmware flash in ODIN, is the baseband supposed to be updated? The firmware file does contain the modem.bin and non-hlos.bin, but after booting into the ROM and checking About, the baseband remained the same. I know there's different changes in the new baseband so I'm not sure why it didn't flash. I tried flashing the firmware twice, the same thing. Everything works fine, just that the baseband isn't updated.

Would I have to extract the bin files and repackage them into a .tar.md5 file and flash it in ODIN with CP ticked? Seems like a 2 step process when the entire firmware should've been flashed with AP ticked.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You need to unlock bootloader to flash this ROM. But before unlocking the bootloader, I would recommend taking TA partition backup. Copy the ROM to phone.

Take backup of Your apps and their data, contacts, messages etc.Then if You have a recovery, go to recovery, take a backup, then wipe system, data and cache partition, and then flash this ROM via recovery.

Hey does anyone know of a good antivirus app for a rooted zenfone 2e? I want one that is free but has as many features as possible as well. Thanks.
[Security Discussion] ElwOOd_CbGp:
I used to use Avast but the best anti virus is you, the user. Know your system, know the internet. If youre rooting, you will/should eventually get very familiar with android, how it behaves, the file system, permissions, built-in apps, etc. Avoid indiscriminate app downloads, especially from places other than the play store, and never follow links that youre unsure of. My opinion is that Windows is the only OS that AV is pretty much necessary.
[Security Discussion] shotguns10:
I second avast. An interesting feature is that it will survive a factory reset if stolen.
[Security Discussion] tetakpatak:
Unlike the PC, it is extremely unlikely you will "get" a virus on your android. It is you who has to install the malware to make it happen. And it is extremely easy to remove the malware. A factory reset would do it and as root user you could simply restore your nandroid backup.

[Security Discussion] giri@nwrk.biz:
Most antivirus apps come with a huge amount of crap no one needs. They often drain your battery and slow your smartphone down. I have also seen antivirus apps which behave more like spyware by replacing advertisements in other apps or direct you to untrustworthy websites when opening the webbrowser.

My opinion: You do not need an antivirus app on your smartphone. Make sure you install most apps via appstore. Take care with apps from 3rd party websites. (Especially if the website says you have an virus on your smartphone => scareware!)

I would never install Antivir-Apps, since they will drop your phone-performance. And what do you get for this? Nothing. Just be carefully of what you are downloading.

do you still live in Symbian world ? even the google play itself has malwares ! or you just want to ignore it ? beside those, hangroid can be easily hacked. the only system that dose not a antivirus is winphone, and it has not need it yet ! but they will come for it very soon.

personally i will never trust ios o even open my email, and in android i have an original payed antivirus that really can respond to a virus. i have original nod32 (i do NOT like it, but i didn't get a better one in hangroid.)

Best antivirus is still brain.apk

Just do not instal every bulls* and you are good to go.

Most antivirus apps are snakeoil/bloatware which will not protect you from anything!
[Security Discussion] h4oxer:
It is good to think about an anti-virus. Android malwares exist, so everyone who's telling here that AVs for Android are a no-go are jumping the gun. However, the Android system already has some security measures into place. So is it still worth it? Yes. The Play Store can't guarantee a 100% clean virus free app collection. History has shown that. "use your brain" is also not a really constructive argument, it is easy to install a sample or virus infected application. Is it that dumb to use an AV on Android? No.

My suggestion, *buy* an AV. For example I have a yearly subscription to Freedome from F-Secure (VPN service). Primarly for my laptop but you can install it on three devices (I have it on 2 laptops and my smartphone). For the smartphone, besides a VPN the app will also scan the device for malicious apps so I got all my important security features in one app. I know that Avast has something similar. I paid 50 euros for one year, which is next to nothing considering the features and piece of mind. And for all those that go on ranting on my post here, I am a security professional in Android and see malware samples from the inside (reverse engineer) all the time ;)

I encourage you to look in those options: VPN and App scan.
[Security Discussion] Magissia:
Remember stagefight thingy ? One could have abused it to gain root privileges and install a binary that run at start, a raw binary, not a package.

Tell me how it is easy to uninstall it, you would first have to track it, if it's purpose wasn't to patch other binaries, and then, you're good to reflash system partition.

No system is invulnerable

Of course, it's tough to get a virus on android, but there's still common malware, adware, scareware, and raw security flaws. There is still need for security solutions, mostly for the raw flaws.

I've been looking for an easy solution for 2 days now.

I used the Galaxy S4 and I installed the Xposed Framework without any problem.

I'm unable to install custom recovery from TWRP and any applications.

Can I install custom Rom from my computer to my android (I want to avoid to navigate and modification through my device).

I just want to install Xposed Addition, the steps make myself too hard.

- SM-G900W8 (Canada model)

- 5.0 Lollipop

- Root with Kingo Root
