OTA files

Here are the links to OTA files

[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Thanks very much mate :good:

Are you in Aus as well? Lastly - what watch do you have D5 or K8 Mini?
[Other SmartWatches] forforum:
Yes, in Brisbane. I got the D5 on Monday. Still playing with it. Will root and flash Lokifish's rom soon.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
[MENTION=3474233]forforum[/MENTION] Wait and see what comes next.

I'm guessing you flashed the OTAs?

Sometimes it can prevent booting into a custom recovery.

Don't worry, we have ways around this so just hang on for a while.

Nice to see a fellow Aussie on here :)
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
Yeah I try to be patient but I'm really looking forward to this. At least I can be lucky that it is on the way already. Strange enough it took just two days from China to UK and now it is stuck there. I didn't know that they have such problems there with the parcels. According to the tracking info it will go on with DPD from there. I'll have to wait...
[Other SmartWatches] mortakos:
I keep seeing conflicting reports about whether that watch has a sim card or not. The gearbest site says that it doesn't, however the manufacturer's site says that it does. Can anyone confirm whether the watch has a sim card slot and whether 3G works on the device?
[Other SmartWatches] Ananin78:
Good morning

I did the same question in the post 48 i think. In my case was tinydeal said this watch doesn't support sim. But in this post our colleague techreviewer.de showed a picture where you can see that support sim. I can't understand why this type of webshops says doesn't support sim...

Sorry, but i think i can't help you more...
[Other SmartWatches] probstc:
I ordered a D5 a few weeks ago from Geekbuying and I expect it any day now. I will be very curious to see:

- If it indeed accepts a SIM card (Geekbuying indicates no, but No. 1 says yes) - Very confusing.

- Bluetooth is actually LE, as my current K8 Apple Watch clone has regular BT and burns through its battery in no time with its radios on.

- I can replace the gaudy watch band with a metal one or did No. 1 place antennas in the bands.

Lots of potential based on the specs, but I will only know for sure when it arrives.
[Other SmartWatches] Un0wn:
Your last Question can already be answered :

The Wristband can't be changed because : Radio, Wlan and gps antenna are Built in it :)
[Other SmartWatches] Ananin78:
Good mornig...

About your questions. I did the same questions directly to no.1.

1. question "Good Morning

I am interesting in this model. But in your web says that this model has

2g-3g, and in tinydeal says that only has wifi, if i want nano sim, i

have to buy another watch, K18 mini.

That is it true?

Thanks.

1. answer "Hi,

the watch support sim card, while you open the back cover, you can see sim slot

Regards

2. question. Sorry in this case i don't know.

3. question: "Good mornig

I have some doubt about this product. I have be able to see the strap of watch is leather. Can i change the strap, for example, rubber strap?

Thanks,

bye"

3. answer "Hi,

The D5 can't change strap.

Regards.

For me these web shops are thinking about micro SD instead micro SIM. Otherwise i don't have any explication.

In my case, i bought k18 mini. I hope that i can use the firmware of no.1 D5. When i have it, i will try it.

bye
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
People should buy from Gearbest. I have had much better results with them..

The truth is that the No1 D5 definitely has a SIM card slot and so does the K8 Mini.

They are basically exactly the same.

It's typical of geekbuying and TinyDeal to give wrong information.

I just hope that they're not sending people the wrong watches.

None of these watches have removable straps because the GPS antenna is housed in the strap along with WiFi antenna.

This is normal. Watches with changeable straps normally don't have GPS. it's a trade off we have to live with....
[Other SmartWatches] sibigr:
I ordered today the no1 d5 through ebay, I was between k18, k18 mini and no1 d5, but I finally chose the d5 because of the IP65 specification. I will have it in 20 days, I can't wait !
[Other SmartWatches] hystrix65:
I had a NO.1 D5 and i can tell you it has a sim slot. I tried using a Vodafone sim and it worked. I can't show any picture because I sold it.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
Why did you sell? If I'm correct you havne't had it very long.
[Other SmartWatches] hystrix65:
I kept it only few days. It was too big for my wrist. I don't really need a phone, I need more a pedometer with hr monitor. So I decided to buy the cheaper Makibes F68
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I would not like to trust that water proof rating at all - but it may be just about splash proof.
[Other SmartWatches] hystrix65:
I would never trust anything waterproof if you can easly open it to put the sim into...
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Exactly my point ?
[Other SmartWatches] Ananin78:
I think the no.1 d5 has a rubber inside the cover to avoid the water and the k18 mini no...

Are there anybody likes gear S2?

In igogo there is a K9, for me it is exactly hardware than this watch, but the form is exactly than gear s2, and may be smaller than these.

bye
[Other SmartWatches] the steve:
This seems to be another new one. It looks very good, I have seen it on gearbest. According to the specs it is no big difference to the D5. It is 1mm smaller if the specs are true. The screenshots look as if it has the same firmware.
[Other SmartWatches] Anto92italy:
I saw the k9 on gearbest , but is better for me the no.1 d5 . I ve the original gear s2 and , a smartwatch like this , without the breeze is useless ;)
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
the K9 is in the mobile phone section which is weird although it's exactly the same as the no.1 d5 as far as I can see.

http://www.gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_294857.html
[Other SmartWatches] Ananin78:
Sorry for my question...If you want you ask me?

Why did you decide to buy this watch having gear s2. ?:p

To do sport i suppose that it is better S2. And components the same...for the SIM and GPS.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Depends on who's the one doing the rating :D (didn't have a SIM but the battery is removable and all it had was a press on caseback)
[Other SmartWatches] mathewhugar:
You might have got the answer to hooking up the watch to the PC. I had the same issue for 2 days.

Have a look at the description of the video : Search youtube for "No.1 D5 charge fixed"

Because of the firmware I was not able to charge the battery, not even from the charger. PC connection was impossible as well.
[Other SmartWatches] lottiesdad:
Thank you . Will look into these later
[Other SmartWatches] Steve Giordano:
Hi, how Flash this update in my d5 ? Thanks!!! :)
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
If you have custom ROM or custom recovery or root you should rollback to stock ROM with stock recovery.

Then you have to rename the first update file to "update.zip" put it in root sd_card folder, go in to Settings->About->Wireless update and you should get the message "ota present, reboot now" or something similar. Press reboot and wait for recovery to apply the update. After that you should repeat same steps for the second update file.
[Other SmartWatches] bennz:
What's new or improved in the new update ?
[Other SmartWatches] forforum:
The update.zip file is in a folder within the root directory. I did not note down the name of the folder and it was gone after the update. It could be "fotaupdate", may be someone can confirm that.

Once I copied the file and went back into check update, it knew there was an update waiting and gave me the options to update now or later.

Hope that helps.

[MENTION=517216]pablo11[/MENTION], thanks for the welcome and tip. I'll hold fire and wait for more info before attempting to root and flash custom rom.

BTW, I am having problem with GPS. It is not finding any satellite at all. GPS Status and Fix did not help and reported no magnetic field. Can anyone help?
[Other SmartWatches] Steve Giordano:
the procedure for install the update not work... not find the ota
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Only gets GPS under WIFI or DATA network... at least in my case and others that reported the same...
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
With how few people are getting the OTA, I'm wondering if this is a soak test. Push out a possible official OTA to a limited number of devices and see what happens. If all's good, push to the rest. It's either that or two other possibilities. The first is No. 1 doesn't maintain an OTA server, the ODM does. So OTA server time is limited. The second is No.1 does maintinan an OTA server but resources are limited. Now I know that in the case of a certain infamous MTK based smartwatch the company didn't maintain the OTA server, the ODM did.

Oh, about the GPS thing. MTK based devices are known for no data connection = no GPS lock. It will actually lock without data but I've seen MTK devices take as long as two hours to lock.

OTA stuff

Is not detected if manually placed on SD (looks like is requires OTA update to actually download the file)

TWRP will not flash it

Stock recovery useless as we don't have the needed buttons to navigate

So back to scripting it to check ever couple hours, but after days of this already I don't have much hope.
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
it is amazing about 12 hours with Swapp Link is great with the k9 (not the round) i get less than 5 hours but with the installed app i get about a day of usage.
[Other SmartWatches] guygenius:
Has anybody noticed a degradation in battery life with latest OTA? Battery life used to be good before but now it really sucks.
[Other SmartWatches] timbiker:
Sorry to post that but I've just received the watch and just want to know what is the best app to synchronised it to the watch on android ? (thanks for a little quick answer)
[Other SmartWatches] soniasophie9697:
the one that comes with the watch or if you check this thread you'll find other suggestions.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

you can't answer phone calls from the watch or sms just notifications about them, but maybe with new updates it will be possible.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
Loki could you or someone else write a step by step guide to do this please? This is beyond my experience so would really appreciate it.
[Other SmartWatches] mauro_s:
SIM contact

How can I hide SIM contact ?
[Other SmartWatches] joakim1988:
Hi , til now I have used Loki`s rom. Will try to get back to stock and just download the ota but not installing it and upload it here.

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

No OTA here. From Norway btw.

Will check regularly.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
It's been long time established that OTA's can sometimes cause serious battery issues on Android devices if a factory reset is not done. So a full factory reset (this includes formatting the SD), charge to 100%, then test is the suggested course of action.

Little confused. If you are pulling and pushing via ADB then you have the skill set needed. It's this simple;

Launch SuperSU

Swipe over to the third screen (settings)

Scroll down til you see the mount user namespace option

Uncheck mount user namespace

Reboot

Launch ADB shell and type "su" and enter

The watch should give you a SuperSU verify popup

Click "Grant"

You should now be able to push/pull files with no problem

It might be easier to just copy of the files to the SD and just use a root file explorer app on the watch. I'll try to post a visual guide later but am still running my auto check script on stock to try to get that stupid OTA.

I DL'd the ones posted earlier and they won't flash
[Other SmartWatches] mauro_s:
Sorry, not sim contact but SDN contact

SDN contacts appears on top of my contact list and prevent regular functionality of the side scroll bar
[Other SmartWatches] Steve Giordano:
Ciao, come hai ricevuto l' ota? e come l'hai installata?

Puoi fare un backup completo con la twrp recovery e condividerlo? Grazie!

ENG:

Hi, how you received the ota? and how install this?

You can do a backup with twrp recovery and share it? thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] mauro_s:
Check setting -> about -> firmware upgrade.

You can find backup ota files on this thread, but you can't install them with twrp
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
I haven't used ADB so far. I haven't needed to.

It sounds complicated. I guess it involves commands etc and that small screen would make things very difficult. Root file explorer sounds a lot easier. Would it be possible to get the stock files?
[Other SmartWatches] forforum:
I did a text search on the sdcard and found the following command left over, it may help if you can get into terminal.

Command: "/sbin/recovery" "--update_package/storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip" "--locale=en_US"

also, there is another place with this text

update_package = /fotaupdate/adupsfota/update.zip
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Thanks for the info, but I wasn't kidding about the "it won't flash" part. Wireless Update in settings doesn't detect the zip, and manual flashing requires Vol buttons to select the zip. Also can't send ADB commands to recovery because you have to use Vol buttons to enable ADB sideload in recovery in the first place.

The only possible way to do it that I can think of would be to root and use Flashify, or a similar app. That then leaves flashing a stock OTA on top of rooted firmware, which is not a good idea. So unless one actually receives the OTA via settings, or No.1 posts a full updated firmware, it's a no go. For me, I've been trying for 6 days straight to get the OTA with no results and am calling it quits.
[Other SmartWatches] smartwatchticks:
When we get the OTA notice, if we go ahead and it turns out to create battery problems or something else undesirable, will we be able to easily go back and undo the update? Would it be wise to download but not install the OTA until more reports come in as to it's benefits/liabilities?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
If you take the OTA you have to be on completely stock unrooted firmware. It can soft brick the watch if it detects any custom images.

If you are on stock and you take the OTA you need to factory reset after installing it.

If you don't like it after taking it you have to flash original firmware using sp tool.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

Personally I think people should wait a while. If I can get mine sorted I will pass it on to [MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION].

The original K8 Round OTA service is extremely reliable and so I may take mine back to the beginning and see how that one processes the OTA.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
How the OTA works

Attached is a log from the K8/K18 during OTA update.

It clearly depends on the downloaded package and the OTA app then issuing the command -

Command: "/sbin/recovery" "--update_package=/storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip" "--locale=en_US"

We cannot do this manually as Loki said - we cannot use the stock recovery and therefore cannot manually flash the update.

I am wondering if we put the update.zip in a created directory on our D5 storage - for example adupsfota/update.zip and then issue the above command via ADB to the watch.

We may need to tweak the command code a little but it could possibly work on completely stock watch.

Edit - no it wont. As mentioned before by Loki - you need access to sideload - which we cannot get :(
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
The only other trick I can think of is to initiate the OTA process on a stock K8 round and then try to find where the temporary script is located that tells the system that an OTA is ready to install.

Then take this script and edit it and place it on the D5 in the same location and then adb reboot recovery.

Problem there of course is the root permissions needed to complete the task.
[Other SmartWatches] kkobali:
Vibrate activate?

Hello !

Anybody can activate the "vibrate when massege arrived" and really work when you got a notification? I have an android phone. My watch hasn't got a SIM.

Could you write me the stepbystep method?

Many thx!
[Other SmartWatches] forforum:
I think of this in a different way. Instead of using adb or other mechanism, we should try to trick Wireless Update to think it just downloaded an update but not actioned it yet. So that, it will give us the option of installing the update. As far as I noticed, when I got back into Wireless Update after saving the zip file, it did not check again and gave me the option to update straight away. It must have stored some info somewhere or check for update.zip in a specific location. I am a VB programmer and don't know too much about Android, may be Android doesn't do things this way.
[Other SmartWatches] edipaduraru:
On the official site of NO 1 D5 smartphone watch there is a new firmware available which is fixing Wi-Fi issue. Now it's real! The update exists!
[Other SmartWatches] corvus:

Firmware version ?
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
[MENTION=3795702]Lokifish Marz[/MENTION] Downloading now from No1 website.

Quoted and spelling corrected text:

2016 Mar 10: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B1wvhNT7Y1TmbkxvaFN5QThXVUE&export=download

This firmware Fixed wifi MAC address always change problem.

Also you can update through Wireless Upgrade in smartwatch itself.

Looks like No1 are more interested in happy customers than the others.

To the extent of going the extra step of fixing MAC address issue - lets hope the "network always on" fix is also implemented - haven't tested yet.......
[Other SmartWatches] forforum:
I can confirm that "network always on" not fixed yet!
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
So here's what I got so far with D5 10/03/2016 official.

Cellular, WiFi Data- Fixed. Turning of data if display is off is selected by default but does stay on when option is unchecked (Settings> Power Saving). So check your settings

MAC Address - Fixed

Counterclockwise rotation on faces -Fixed

Voice Input on keyboard- Still broken

"OK Google" - Still Broken

I will be battery testing over the next couple of days. I say "couple of days" as new firmware tends to need to "settle in". In the meantime, I may make a proper skeleton movement face based on one of my own watches to celebrate rotation working.
[Other SmartWatches] timbiker:
Finally received... Well suprised by the quality, the size (not that big) and the weight (very light). Thanks to the forum XDA members, I successfully installed dozen of beautiful watchfaces.

But some points :

-it's a very pity that we cannot perform or answer phone call from the watch through the phone by bluetooth... even my 40USD Zeblaze can do that !

- the weather is only updating from WIFI

- have to find another phone app because "Montre Helper" is loosing the BT connection all the time and is not able to connect itself again...

Now, I'll have to study on Lokifish app in order to answer SMS from the watch...
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
The D5, and it's siblings, primary function is NOT as a companion device, their primary function is a standalone device. With that said, most MTK6572 watchphones do not even have a proper companion app. And most watchphones have no companion app at all.

I updated the weather over 2G, and again over BT tether. WiFi is only needed for the download of AGPS data to assist in getting a GPS lock.
[Other SmartWatches] timbiker:
Well, that makes sense. It just looks as a "basic / easy" function that this powerful watch can't do

For the BT tether, let me check again. It's quick difficult because the BT connection is always lost
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
BT tethered weather update can take forever but it does work. It's actually better to use a face with weather (which updates every couple of hours).
[Other SmartWatches] Benwayqb:
My D5's battery completely drained. It was in my bag for a week, and I guess the button was depressed for many hours. Anyways I measured the voltage at the battery terminal and it was 0.05 volts. I brought it back to just over 3 volts by charging directly the battery as the charger wouldn't charge at all. Still nothing. When I connect to the computer, it connects and disconnects every 2 seconds. Won't turn on.

Anybody had a similar problem here ?

Thanks !

Ben
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
You are going to want to get it to at least 3.7V before attempting to boot.
[Other SmartWatches] Benwayqb:
Thanks ! I'll report back here when I get it up there !
[Other SmartWatches] timbiker:
Sorry Loki but I am actually reading the thread page by page in order to find another app to replace "Watch helper" which is loosing everytime the BT connection. Do you have one in mind please ?

EDIT : well i t seems that the BT connection would not be disrupted but I only received 2 notifications for SMS and then the notification is not working anymore...
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Uninstall Watch Helper and reinstall. If you are have BT connection issues, something else is going on as my phone is on the other end of my house and I'm still getting notifications.
[Other SmartWatches] Benwayqb:
Allright my D5 is back to life ! good thing I had a spare 3.7v battery around ! Once the D5's battery reached 3.7v it accepted the charger, and everything's back to normal.

Thanks Lokifish
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Well that was easy...

Rooting the OTA is the same as the original firmware. So check the OP
[Other SmartWatches] mauro_s:
please anyone can tell me which release is the last firmware available on no.1 web site ?

My last OTA update is 1.222.0160310.0038

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Here you go
[Other SmartWatches] mauro_s:
yes, but I would like to know the exact release to see if I need to update my watch. On the download page there isn't the releases number
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
OTA 160310 and the SPTool flashable 160310 (2016 Mar 10) are the same. If it helps, in my 7 years on Android I've only once seen an OTA and full firmware release with the same date actually be different.
[Other SmartWatches] mauro_s:
Ok thanks. So, I don't need to upgrade....
[Other SmartWatches] Steve Giordano:
When i put the sim card, work the connection data but no call... When i call say "cellular network not available" :crying: :rolleyes:
[Other SmartWatches] wpgxman:
I downloaded the latest firmware update for the D5 watch.. can't seem to get it to work. The instructions are rather hard to understand. I see they say to connect the phone with

power off

, and I do that and nothing happens. Should I have the watch turned on? If someone could help with an easier to understand set of instructions I would much appreciate it. Wireless update says I am up to date, but I do not have the latest march 15th file..

Thanks in advance!
