I'm not sure what do you mean by "As it seems to miss with my FW" - if the extractor shows "all done" at the end of the the operation that means your fw is successfully backup-ed, if not then it couldn't - rom, viva and so on are just file names with no impact over the data contained - please be more specific with your question

the app itself it's a simple trace / seek / check routine

Good afternoon to all.

I have online shop of Wonlex watches in Portugal and we have a problem.

We bought Wonlex GW500S (MTK6261) watches from Wonlex factory. But the watches comes with English firmware and not Portuguese. The manager from Wonlex said, that they will put portuguese only if I´ll buy 300 pcs. My question is, there is any possibility to edit firmware and translate by me?

Thanks in advance.
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
The Y1 MTK 6261D can store multible notifications, i would not know any reason why it only shows one message, its only some bytes per message, so room enough for 100 or more easily.

BTW.: If you have a working dump, pls add to your post, the more rom dumps out there the more the chance someone could find it usefull :)
[Other SmartWatches] jockyw2001:
Yup, saving multiple notifications works fine on another watch ("Apachie DZ09") I could try a few days ago. In the mean time I found a SDK and source code for developing for MTK626X, so perhaps I can fix the bug myself in the near future.

Done

If any of you have a 32mb watch with a HYNITRON CST016 touch screen and the firmware does not have notifications bug, please upload your firmware. To find out if you have a HYNITRON touch screen open the ROM file ("FILE_01_mtk") in a hex editor and search for the string "HYNITRON CST0XX". Thanks in advance (with my current knowledge of the ROM and VIVA firmware parts this is not a surprise...)

PS: I tested various combinations of ROM and VIVA files taken from other watches but could not get any to boot. I also tried exchanging the ALICE partition in the VIVO, but also to no avail.

Dump the firmware and attach it to your post and I will take a look
[Other SmartWatches] andrianoz:
Hi. I think I have a limit at this forum, I can't attach files before I achieve 10 posts. I can make a dump with program from first post? Because I have copied formware from the watch, not this one that you need?
[Other SmartWatches] jockyw2001:
Dump the firmware with flash tool (linked in first post). Assuming you already installed drivers do the following:

1. Power off phone

2. Start the flash tool

3. Select the Download tab and then select the file "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" as Download Agent

3. Select Read Back tab

4. Click Add and then double click the line; select a path to store ROM_0 and in the next dialog enter length 0x400000

5. Click the Read Back button

6. Connect the watch and the rom will be dumped

7. Upload the file ROM_0 to google drive or whatever filesharer

Firmware from Wonlex GW500S Kids smart watch

https :// drive . google . com / open?id=10xMVV_LdrmhjKkm24AumRK80q_Az1i0p

MTK CO file

https :// drive . google . com /open?id=10Y4TK14QphQdt8l8P3nTNtcZEWMxBhFm
[Other SmartWatches] jockyw2001:
The Wonlex GPS Kids Watch GW500S is equipped with GPS and GSM and is therefore also known as a kids spywatch.... I would never give it to my kids.

Anyway, it does have a MTK6261, but the firmware update process is different as for the smartwatches targeted in this thread. You can find more info about the wonlex watches in this Russian 4pda thread. On page 46 the firmware update steps are described, here is the google translation:

1) turn off the clock;
2) connect to PC via USB;
3) the clock is defined as a removable drive - a flash drive;
4) the Updata folder contains the firmware file jt_ads.bin;
5) copy into a safe place just in case;
6) delete and copy the new file if necessary;
7) turn on the clock.

So it probably only involves replacing the current file with the latest jt_ads.bin

On the qqwatch website you can find the latest firmware with an update tool here

All this has nothing to do with the original thread topic, so better refrain from any other posts here.
[Other SmartWatches] andrianoz:
Thank you. I know how to update the firmware. My question was, how I can edit actual firmware to add portuguese language.
[Other SmartWatches] skmrom:
I own a v8 smartwatch, any ideas on what should I do to backup the current rom and flash a custom one?

also if there's a way to install custom watch faces without flashing a new rom that would help too.
[Other SmartWatches] Tommmii:
You should read the 1st post of this thread.
[Other SmartWatches] skmrom:
Not sure if I see the firmware for my PCB and how do I get the drivers for my watch?

Sorry I'm a noob with watches.

Also what would happen if I use the wrong firmware package, will that brick my watch?
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
if you use the wrong firmware it will make your watch useless, unless you have a backup of your original rom.

to do a backup read post #1 in this thread.

Downloads:

First: get Drivers. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_hRh3DjuBoeeUk3azBBU0ZvSXc/view?usp=sharing

Second: get readback extractor to make your backup flashable. https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3806118&d=1467914056

If you run windows 10, restart PC in safe mode and install drivers, drivers for mtk are not signed , so windows will give you a hard time to install.

If your watch is recognized, never do a ram test with Nor flash test enabled, nand flash test enabled, it will brick your watch.

You can do a memory test only with memory test enabled. there you will see how much memory your watch has.

If it is a MTK6261D, it will show up with 4 / 32mb.

To do a backup ("readback") of your Stock rom: open flashtool

1. go to readback, add readback file, set it to

start address 0x00000000

length: try those values: 0x01000000 test it - if it throws an error, test 0x00800000 if that also throws an error test 0x00400000 .

most probably it will be 0x00400000.

after dumping your Firmware from your watch, extract it with readback extractor.

that will give you all needed files to recover your watch in case of a brick, what will happen when you flash the wrong firmware, most certainly.

if all those steps are done, proceed to flash a new firmware for your watch, always keep in mind you can brick your watch, so everything you do is on your own.

also: if you have a readback of your watch, pls post it here as many are in need of original stock roms. Bcause they did no backup / made the memory test w/o unchecking nor / nand options.
[Other SmartWatches] Tommmii:
do not proceed until you have a verified good backup of your current firmware.

don't even think about it.

Guys,

Is it possible to damage touch hardware with wrong firmware/touch driver init? Theoretically or practically?

Отправлено с моего SM-G710K через Tapatalk
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
i would say, no - I have flashed different firmwares on one watch like 125 times or more,

and on some still the touch does react, only flipped, partially, if a touch does not work on a watch its wrong drivers, simply as that.
[Other SmartWatches] jockyw2001:
Can anything be fixed (eg. inverted colors, flipped display) by restoring a nvram backup from a working firmware to FAT?
[Other SmartWatches] skmrom:
I keep getting this error when I try to test the memory and for some reason non of the addresses are working.

I'm not sure what the problem is, could be that something went wrong with the drivers or something.
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
double check all options in program, try on another PC / Laptop if i get weired messages, mostly something is set wrong.
[Other SmartWatches] Tommmii:
Access Violation in RICHED20.dll , something is wrong with that windows installation.
[Other SmartWatches] skmrom:
When I try to do the readback or the memory test I get this now.

Also thanks for helping me through.
[Other SmartWatches] skmrom:
does this info help in any way?

I found it in the watch's SSC Info.
[Other SmartWatches] Tommmii:
forget about the memory test, I've just tried and i can't get it to work either...

follow the 1st post of this thread to do a readback. Do not do a download until you've first completed a 100% certain successful readback!

Trying readbacks does no harm, just do not do a download , only readbacks.
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
the memory test only works when you add a valid scatter file

there fore you can load pretty any scatterfile from any rom,

but: do NOT Download the ROM to the watch

- unless you have a working backup of your watch.

you can add th scatterfile from a rom, but just dont touch the Download section of the programm untill you have generated a backup.

also, if you do a memory test, only do the memory test, dont do any flash test, as it might overwrite your OS.
[Other SmartWatches] skmrom:
I tried doing a readback and I got the same error, I rechecked on the drivers, and I reinstalled them.

FLASHTOOL_ERROR: S_FTHND_ROM_ENTRIES_NOT_CREATED_YET (5068)
[Other SmartWatches] Tommmii:
did you pay attention to step 4 from post 1 ?

turn off the watch, press < Readback > in the middle menu wait 2 seconds and connect through USB your watch
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
that error happend in the beginning to me when i didnt choose a scatter file before readback
[Other SmartWatches] skmrom:
Which scatter file should I use then?
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
if your watch has 4/32mb (MTK6261D), go with that one:

https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4427297&d=1519253380

(only use for backup) aka "readback".

(mtk flashtool will show all files on the download tab, but dont do download untill you have a valid workingbackup!)

The readback function will create a file with 4096kb , which u need to extract into flashable files first.

use the tools provided in thread #1 on this topic for doing that.
[Other SmartWatches] skmrom:
Thanks so much for helping me guys, I made a working backup! :D
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
would you be so kind and post it here ? (many are in need of working backups, as many did not backup before flashing ;)

edit:

Added Yuntab MTK6261D Stock Rom Y1 ( Round model, one button 4/32M )

With the app wat you are making, can we also change the icons then?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:

I don't want to push you or something like that.

It's just that i can wait to work with it, and change my icons, and etc...

And when i flash a rom, where my screen is upside down and the colors are not good, is there nothing that can be down, inthe rom?

I have found some new gv08s firmware, but there are differents.

Like there is a gv08s full master firmware. What does it mean, full master,?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
I have mentioned somewhere here that some russian crazy minds succeeded to reverse mtk algorithms partially, they are selling compilation time on their servers (at shameless price - it seems they learned capitalism lesson better than us :) but who am I to judge the cost of a pound of bright mind? ), some coders are buying this service and change things in firmwares - full master means like in acoustics - last best tuned version

Where did you find these?
[Other SmartWatches] carlospaco:
On a turkeys website, www.tabletpiri.com
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
It would take me an eternity to create an account there, would you mind if I'm asking you to create a google drive link for those firmwares (I suppose you have them already in your computer)
[Other SmartWatches] carlospaco:
Yes , no problem.

I took me also great time, i did it with google translate.

But i will put in google drive.

And i am also looking for MTK RESOURSE EDITOR.

I find one but my virus scanner saying that there is a virus on it.

Here is the rom gv08s full master

[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Thanks for the link and here attached you have the MTK RESOURSE EDITOR, no virus version :)

Unfortunately is pretty poor, It sees just official compressors (jpg, gif . . . this kind of things) but cannot see mtk compressors - I found that lately (few fellows around came with their firmwares) mediatek is trying to eliminate any common formats so I found inside these JUST mtk media format which right now I have it in process of reverse engineering

Hy Golem,

Few days ago you gave me two roms for my GV08s watch.

Those two roms are good, but i am searching for a while now, for a rom like DZ09, that also works on my watch.

I have try almost all the roms from DZ09, from the site off http://niezarmsan.blogspot.be.

Ther are all revers color and screen.

I know you now wich rom i can use, because the ones you send me, did work.

Maybe , if you perhaps , you will find some rom like the DZ09 or know where i can search for it, thats work on my watch.

Greetings
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
The only DZ09 totally different of what you can find on that site is this one link Let's hope it works
[Other SmartWatches] carlospaco:
No, its the same, revers color and upside down.

Thanks anyway.

Hope someday will found something.
[Other SmartWatches] steliosm:
Hello Gole, ice work!

Do you think this will work for the U8 smartwatch? I'm mainly interested in changing the watchfaces/icons.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Hi Man! My bad I didn't focus my attention to much over U8 watches, what we have right now or we'll achieve in the nearest future, unfortunately is not applicable in any way for U8 software, I'm sorry about bad news
[Other SmartWatches] steliosm:
The U8 uses something different that the GT08 eg?
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
checked your file with both, the java tool for mtk bin files, and Mtk_Res V1.3 , couldnt find any usefull, sorry.

Funny thing: your rom runs on my y1, but all colors reversed, touch partially only.

the posted y1 rom https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75678720&postcount=979 might work on your watch normally.

if it does not, you can always use your backup (did you test your backup allready?)
[Other SmartWatches] skmrom:
I would see how to use the backup when I need it but I guess you could help me out to test my backup. :D

What should I do?
[Other SmartWatches] kapsubm:
to test your backup, just chosse the scatterfile from your backup from the file menu in mtk flashtools

then select the Download tab (this will bring your backup to your watch)

tripple make sure you choose your own backup at this point.

checkout the images on end of the post, if you have set those things, finally, press Download, the watch still not connected to your PC

shut down your watch, and connect usb cable. Flashing should start after 2 -3 seconds. dont remove usb cable while flashing.

if the flashing goes without error message (green circle), you have tested your backup ;) remove usb cable turn on watch.

same goes then if you want to test other roms, just choose the scatterfile from the rom and do as described above.

theres a photo series on how to (from bottom to top):

Please, need help with Universal Read Back Extractor

Hello Guys

Whe I try to ReadBack the Dump file (.bin) of my KSIX BXSW01 Smart Watch with Universal Read Back Extractor 2.4 Tool, it says "Binary data doesn´t match mtk format, make sure yoy have a valid data file".

I can tell you that the dump file is correct, I obtained it with Miracle Box 2.27A Crack and SP FlashTool v5.1516.00, and I had written it back to my Smart Watch with Miracle Box 2.27A Crack, and everything was fine.

My problem now is that I flashed my SmartWatch with Modoex M8 Smartwatch ROM, wich does not work fine (Mirror Scree, Tactil does nor work), but even worst when I tried to write back the original dump file of muy SmartWatch with Miracle Box 2.27A Crack, the aplication says "boot data error", and does not start the process, the ROM write

So, I tried to Read Back de Dump file in order to try to Flash my Smart Watch with SP Flash Tool, but as I said at the begining, Read Back Extractor 2.4 Aplication fails doing that.

If anyone could help me with this, I could send you the DUMP file of my KSIX BXSW01 Smart Watch wich is MT6261 with 3Mb ROM, instead the 4Mb ROM commoly seen on DZ09, GT08, M9, and others MT6261 or MT6260 SmartWatches. I´lll appreciate if you could write me to amaury@cneuro.edu.cu.

same message for me, what tool did you use to make the backup? i can clearly see it is a backup, but it seems not to be made with the mtk flash tool?

edit: i see you used miracle box ? try to dump it with mtk flash tools straight (w/o miracle box).

(turn off watch, disconnet from PC) start mtk flash tool, and use readback tab, press readback, connect watch ( still turned off)

to extract your watch rom.

(I can see the error message "Failed to get MAUI's first part" in your rom ) that means something went wrong when u tried to dump the rom.

also there is a error message "Failed to operate because of insufficient resource. NVRAM module is not existed"
