HAL_VERNO:

I would like to backup its original ROM installed, so I would like to use this "ReadBack Extractor" software but, I haven´t found any scatter file to use in this watch.

Can you help with this?

Also I would like to install another ROM in this watch because the original ROM is very poor (camcorder has crashed since i tryed to change definitions to better quality, and also doesn´t have portuguese language wich i want to have installed). Do you know any working ROM for this model? I´ve tryed a bunch of them but none has enabled me to run the RAM test. I know this one is a MTK6261.

Thank you very much for your help.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
First make sure your watch is a U8 clone. Try this Flash Tool, load any scatter you like from collection (dz09 official maybe?), no worries, app is using it just for initialization, then go in memory test, check RAM test (attention: ONLY RAM test), make sure your phone is turned off, press start, wait few seconds, connect phone, after come back with the results

If your watch is a mtk6261 having just 32Mb then URGENTLY get in contact with the seller and ask for refund or send a real one, we have to stop this flood of fakes at price of original, lately I've seen sellers advertising dz09 as "we have ONLY original DZ09" which is good, means we are not stupid and our reaction is influencing the market but not inverse!
[Other SmartWatches] gon_meireles:

[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Yes, this is not a clone, your NOR flash is not on 128Mb, but 64Mb is acceptable, for these watches you can change your watch skins which is somethin'

So you can get to make a readback dump, as length you set 0x00800000 and then rebuild your firmware with readback extractor, from this moment you can change your watchfaces (you find here tutorial, tools and some watch skin samples)

Don't forget any time you reflash (download) your firmware to set backup and restore on preserve backup data and backup - download/format - restore

My opinion, do not try to install other firmwares on 64Mb (and totally interdicted to try 128Mb or 32Mb) than your modified or original firmware - there are very few and all are almost same

Keep your readback dump somewhere in safe
[Other SmartWatches] gon_meireles:
I tried all the dz09 mtk6261 64mb firmwares i´ve found around here and none works in my watch with Portuguese language :(

Several work but reverse my display tapping, and about 2 work nice but don´t have Portuguese language.

Do you know if I can try other firmware models?

Do you know any firmware for this watch wich has Portuguese language?

Thank you.

Z50 help and thanks

Dear Golem, thank you very much for the help in restoring my Z50. I am having similar problems with this firmware as the original and was wondering if another firmware can be flashed onto this watch? I have tried various 6261 ROMs (GT08, DZ09) from the forum but all give a memory compatibility error? Can they be modified to work on this watch please?

Thanks again

[MENTION=7026470]Golem_[/MENTION]

I have been beating my head against the wall for the last few days unable to flashtool read, ram tests.

I used the flashtool you linked on the last page and got:

=============== Memory Detection Report ===============

Internal RAM:

Size = 0x0000D000 (52KB)

External RAM:

Type = SRAM

Size = 0x00400000 (4MB/32Mb)

NOR Flash:

Device ID = "[GigaDevice] GD25LQ32" (236)

Size = 0x00400000 (4MB/32Mb)

I'm guessing this means I have a clone? Is that why I don't even have Video Player app on the watch? I want to watch videos on it, is that even going to be possible or is there any firmwares I'll actually be able to use? :( Is there any way just to add the video player? That's all I really wanted the watch for in the first place :/
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Yes, it is a clone. Don't bother to replace the firmware or anything - if on the seller page they claim that have sent you a mtk6260A with 128/64 Mb then ask for refund
[Other SmartWatches] PeaceBrigade:
Damn. This one took weeks. Just to confirm. A LEGITIMATE DZ09 can play videos off the SD Card right? I'll order a new one from a more reputable seller while I wait for the refund if that's the case. They all say MP4 support, some of the 6260A also say AVI. If it supports mp4, then it should play videos right?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Yes, my watch, for instance, has a video player - supports mp4 and avi - not all types of mp4 or avi of course, but I use a convertor - at 240x240 they get significantly smaller size. Be aware, the market is FLOODED by clones
[Other SmartWatches] PeaceBrigade:
Out of curiosity, if I wanted to just keep this one because the cost of getting my refund -shipping almost makes it completely not worth it, are there any DZ09 firmwares with the video player that might work on the 32mb ROM? Or any other firmwares to be found at all for the 6261?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
You can find all I have about 6261 32Mb here but do first a readback dump before any move , most probably those firmwares are not compatible with your watch
[Other SmartWatches] JAROPDA:
I can change firm A1 Smartwatch mediatek 6260A CPU for others firms smartwatch models?

I did a full readback dump to 0x00400000 and extractor took out ext + int_ bootloader, config_mtk, and file1+file2_mtk (I assume which is the meat)

So worst case I should be able to write those back with the same flashtool I used to read it with right?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Even if you change the firmware you'll have no sound - there is an issue with your earphones - connect a otg cable and put it on speaker, you'll discover that your radio is working like a charm

Hi, I've bought a NO.1 T3 smartwatch from Gearbest, when I try to connect my smartwatch (in power off mode) to the Pc, is not recognized, when I connect my smartwatch in power on mode, I can choose if connect as com port. Now I can't start ram test and backup my original firmware. Can you help me?

Use this version of flash tool

In case you are using W10 - the way to get around this is to reboot without signed driver being enforced. To do this, you go to the start menu and click on power and hold down the shift key while clicking on restart. A screen then comes up and you need to choose troubleshooting and then startup options. It will then reboot and give you a menu. press 7 which is ignore signed drivers and then when windows comes up, you will be able to install the drivers.

Can I provide you any other details?

Ah sometime when I connect my smartwatch with test ram waiting, I get an error immediately (about some entries not created yet...) and the smartwatch is not recognized at all, now I'm out of home, and when I'm at home I tell you exactly error.

I said to heck with it. I ended up ordering a new one that I made sure to confirm was 6260A_6464. Now the agonizing wait until next Tuesday when it arrives.

Hopefully I should be able to customize this one a little better. [MENTION=7026470]Golem_[/MENTION] Just curious as you're an owner, maybe it was just a limited of my cheapy clone. Can you just use the Music Player as a remote for my android? I can connect and play stuff from my phone, and skip songs etc, but the audio all comes out of the watch. It'd be nice to change songs and remote control the phone while having the audio route through the phone headphones.
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
Unfortunately, about the player, there is no way just to use the watch as a remote - we cannot change the firmware as long as we cannot reprogram it

So you say that you did a readback dump and when you checked it in mtk res you haven't seen any watchskins? what kind of firmware you have? on 128Mb, 64Mb or 32??? if you have it on 128 or 64 I can mod it in that way to be able to change the watch skins

I have a trick to keep the screen alive but how much do you think will keep your battery :)

How did you get to the conclusion that there are no roms for gt08, did you check the collection?

your watch has a NOR flash memory of 64Mb hence you can change watchfaces

so the watch is turned off and starts when you connect to usb?????

scatter i put "GPLUS60A_6464_11B_BB.cfg" that i found from different rom of gt08

then set the readback like you said connect the watch ,the red line goes on ,the watch didn't start this time.but i get error
[Other SmartWatches] dar007:
ok finally got it to work ,for scatter file i used from gt08 russion firmware that i found.and in readback i set to 0x00800000. i got green circle. does this mean i have a full backup of my watch ?
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
do it again, now make sure where the readback file (0x0000000 to 0x0080000) was saved

3.is there any way to add whatsapp as an app to the watch ?

thanks for all your help

i have no idea what i'am doing wrong ,can't flash back my rom ,the watch starts with a picture of a dz09 watch and thus the flash tool dosn't work because of this i think

this is the error " meta error:bootrom start command passed,but target has no response until timeout"

NOR Flash:

Device ID = "[WINBOND] W25Q128FW" (248)

Size = 0x01000000 (16MB/128Mb)

Woo!

I know readback 0x00800000 is for 64MB ROM, what am I going to use for 128? 0x01000000 ?

(Edit: Duh. It's like... two lines above... I'm dumb lol)

Now to look around for goodies on how to change faces etc. :D

Two quick questions I can't find an answer to maybe you guys can help.

1) While Bluetooth connected to phone, if I'm on a call it shows on the watch. Is there any way to minimize that on the watch so I can do other stuff on it? I'm taking the call on the phone headset, so I'd like to still be able to play on the watch.

2) Is there any way to access the Browser or WhatsApp etc without a SIM? I thought I read that it can tether off your phones connection through bluetooth, but I've not noticed it at all.

Any ideas? :)

[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
1. get here - you follow the tutorial in order to change watch faces

2. get here (it is an older post of mine) - and follow the steps - if you don't have bluetooth is working by cable too - without to turn off your watch simply connect it to usb, on watch choose com port

then use in hyperterminal AT+ESLP = (to stop sleep mode) and AT+ ELSM = (to change backlights) - you find there in the manual attached which values, description and so on

To flash back your firmware go in flash tool folder and do a safe copy of backup folder (there is your nvram), after delete anything you find in backup folder - when start flash tool go in option and set backup and restore on no action
[Other SmartWatches] dar007:
when i flashed back my original firmware the watch faces are gone ,and this is what happens = look at attachment please

never mind ,i connected to flashtool and made format,now it works!

how to use hyperterminal on windows 7 ?

and the clock faces ,it won't work on my gt08 firmware ? only if i flash dz09 ?

i'am asking cause i need support for hebrew language

and btw is there a patent for whatsapp ?
[Other SmartWatches] omargrajales:
Where says that I need to stop certificate check? Can you give me the link of tutorial please , thank you for all your help .
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
send me your original firmware, I'll see if I can MOD in order to make those watchfaces replaceable

As hyperterminal you can use any alternative (internet is full) - for instance teraterm open sourse app for windows is one I've checked and is flawlessly working

[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
for shrinking size and so on use irfanview or photoshop
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
go first on the first page (on this thread) and follow the steps - only after you have a readback dump you can try different firmwares

your watch - apparently - has 64Mb so use as length 0x00800000

to replace your firmware from collection of firmwares you can choose just firmwares from unusual 64Mb folder
[Other SmartWatches] dar007:
thanks for the app irfanview ,works fine.but still when i decrease color of image the quality is bad,so does this mean i have to buy a "128 NOR" watch to be able to preserve good quality watch faces ?

and btw how did you add the original watch faces to my rom ? (the "FILE_01_mtk")
[Other SmartWatches] Golem_:
To yours I didn't add or do anything - mtk res is not able to see gif87, so just I changed the header a bit to look as gif89 :)

If you get a 128Mb one maybe (maybe) you'll have a big surprise, I've met situation with a gt08 on 128 having just 3.2kB allocated for each watch

We can do an experiment, I can expand the allocated space over the both watch skins and even more, of course you'll loose the second watch face and some graphic media - it worth a try?
[Other SmartWatches] dar007:
it can brick the watch ?

btw i finaly made connection for what you send me earlier hyperterminal bt connection i did this "AT+ ESLP =0" then pressed enter,the line says OK ,but nothing changes to watch.

am i missing something ?

mtk res is not able to see gif87, so just I changed the header a bit to look as gif89 = how with what app?

btw this watch has 3 watch faces
