Another update last week

When I had 1.8, I went into the fitware app on the phone and clicked on updates. On the watch a screen came up with a checkmark that update was available I clicked on the green checkmark on the watch and the update process began. It took 2-3 hours as the download would pause and resume alot. You can try turning off wi fi on the phone and using mobile data only - this speeds up the app store downloads dramatically so it may help with the update.

When I think back, after upgrading to 1.8 I reset the watch, re downloaded the fitwear app on the phone from the QR code, paired the watch to the phone and then started the update process.

After having V1.10 When my watch first boots up, I get an error message " Fitwear isn't resonding, Do you want to close it" I click yes and the watchface will go black and then eventually will respond to the button push.

If it's not updating, it may be because a new update came out last Friday which updated my watch to version mlais _ag_v2.2 20160809

Maybe the servers only have this new version available and you can only get to this version from 1.10 We have to wait for someone to do a ROM dump

This suggests that the firmware release came out Aug 09. Both the Fitwear app on the phone and watch updated. There is no changelog so I have not idea what the differences are.

After this 2.2 update I still get the same fitwear stopped working bootup error .

Where are the devs for this watch?
[Other SmartWatches] Tonyom:
Thanks for your answer, i can't get any update the process always stops and gives me an error "Unfortunately. HIWearSetttings has stopped" so i can't go any further until someone upload the firmware.

It's good to hear that Malis is updating the firmware, it's kind of sad that they don't give response to any email and don't post the firmware realeases in their webpage.

This watch has great hardware but the software is still in "beta" stage.

darrinmc could you please make a firmware dump with the latest update and upload to a server to try to flash mine?
[Other SmartWatches] darrinmc:
I don't know how to do a rom dump. I think you need twrp for that and no one has tested that on this watch yet. Perhaps giving feedback on the phone fitwear app to lian lu they will respond since Mlais doesn't.
[Other SmartWatches] rObOtHi:
There has been another update to this watch's firmware. Current version is:

Mlais_AG_V2.4_20160831

If you are experiencing a bug where the updater program crashes, you need to flash the watch to the version mentioned here then connect the watch via wifi and bluetooth, then run the system update on the watch.

Hope this helps.
[Other SmartWatches] darrinmc:

TWRP 3.0.2 for Mlais Android 5.1 Smartwatch (w603wifi)

First TWRP 3.0.2 recovery port for Mlais Android 5.1 Smartwatch (w603wifi board) with multi-language support.

*** WARNING ***

DO NOT APPLY any OTA update after you have flashed this recovery! This could (soft)brick your watch.

OTA updates require stock recovery.

Notes

Stock ROM includes a shell script which overwrite recovery partition if it's different from the stock.

To overcome this issue you should rename/delete this script before flashing the custom recovery. Fortunately this is an easly doable task via adb shell because the stock ROM gives you full root access.

*** Disclaimers ***

The whole procedure described here and the TWRP recovery functionality have been tested by me without any issue, but I am not responsible for anyone's issues. Use this at your own risk !!

Pre-installation (required)

1) Connect the watch powered on to ADB by typing the "adb shell" command on your command line

2) Once you are connected you will see the "#" prompt (this is the evidence that you already have the root access)

3) Type the following commands:

# mount -o remount,rw /system
# mv /system/bin/install-recovery.sh /system/bin/install-recovery.xx
# exit

Now you can go on with recovery flash.

Installation

To install, use the usual procedure for flashing the recovery with SP Flash Tool. Don't do it if you are not 101% sure of what you are doing.

I repeat here *** I am not responsible for anyone's issues. Use this at your own risk !! ***

1) Use the supplied scatter file and be sure that only Recovery is ticked and "Download only" is selected then just press "download".

3) Make sure watch is powered off and then connect your watch to your PC and it will flash in few seconds.

That's all.

Access the recovery

After reboot, to access recovery, use the "adb reboot recovery" command.

Thanks to [MENTION=3984604]masmgt[/MENTION] for support

There is a scientific calculator for android with a round screen?
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
You have to use Fitwear app for that. It allows to install some selected Android Wear watchfaces from their store.

Actually, you can try any Wear watchface if you are able to sideload them on the watch BUT many could have issues and ALL of them will be removed after watch reboot.

Unfortunately there is a "protection" software so that only apps and watchfaces installed via Fitwear app are permanent.
[Other SmartWatches] Pcoelho1971:
Hi

I used already the FITWEAR App from Mlais, but how can i do the side load to the watch? Where should i put them? and what extensions should i use?

TKS
[Other SmartWatches] cyrux75:
With Fitwear App no need of sideload, you can simply install available apps and watchfaces from the phone to the paired watch, but it doesn't work with Android 6+ as far as I know.

Dead Mlais Watch

My watch no longer will charge in the charging dock. Ive cleaned the contacts on the back, and the pins on the doc using a pencil eraser, also tried cotton swabs with rubbing alcohol, tried a different cable and different power sources, no life.

At the beginning the battery icon would flash on for a second and then disappear over and over. Usually cleaning the contacts did the trick but not this time.

One weird thing that has always been there on the back, there are 4 circles where the contacts should be, one of them is a hole, the other 3 are contacts. Does your watch have the same thing? It hasn't affected the watch, it would charge and I could do software upgrades via USB, just find it weird there's a hole where a contact should be.

Any suggestions to bring my watch back to life?

Hello! Why You have chosen "010"-version of the Google Play (0-android 4+, 1-armeabi,0-nodpi[this is clear])?

I have Mlais Watch (F0BD) 5.1 (with android 5.1, I think...) and I try to use "230"-version (2-android 5+, 3-armeabi-v7a, 0-nodpi).

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohim2013:
No, I can't even get into recovery. I tried pressing power and volume +, but no lock. There is the android logo with "no command". I can't even unlock the bootloader as it appears that there is no rom so I can't go into developer option. "Device is Locked. Status Code: 2"

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The OP apparently doesn't have a recovery either, which makes flashing the Android N OTA impossible. If that is the case, the device is bricked.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohim2013:
Yeah I tried on my windows using minimal adb and fastboot it keeps telling me "check 'allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options." Now is there a way I can completely erase the phone? I remember on my oneplusone I did it before. I wiped the cache and userdata but no luck.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Thanks, Strephon - I had missed that.

Still, the OP mentions: "the android logo with "no command"".

This post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66467329&postcount=12

has these comments:

"Steps for solving your problem:

Connect your phone to the computer

On your phone go to the No Command screen and press the three buttons (Vol-UP + Vol-DOWN + POWER) simultaneously [it will take a couple of tries before you succeed]

You will now reach the Android Recovery screen

Select the option "Apply update through ADB"

From the computer execute "adb sideload <OTA_UPDATE_FILE_NAME>.zip"

Wait for a few minutes and you will see the update progress on adb"

Again, I haven't thought this one through (tiring day) but it's worth a shot...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you have no system, then you've already erased the device. Give the advice by [MENTION=6161558]dahawthorne[/MENTION] a shot before calling it a day. You may actually have a recovery still, but it's just not easily accessed.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohim2013:
Oh No! Now it's just the android logo. Fastboot devices appears but no ADB in command prompt.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this last post: " Fastboot devices appears"

ADB commands are for when the device is connected, switched on with USB debugging enabled. If you type "adb devices" in the CMD window you can expect to see "ZGST339FF6 device" or similar. From there you can type "adb reboot bootloader" and the phone will enter bootloader mode. [Edit: the Android image has just loaded on my screen now - that looks like stock recovery].

Once you're in bootloader mode you use fastboot commands. "adb devices" won't work. "fastboot devices" should show "ZGST339FF6 fastboot".

So are you saying that when you enter "fastboot devices" you get a response? Or nothing at all?

Have you done all the required background reading about installing drivers/ADB/fastboot and how to use them? Without actually sitting beside you watching what you're doing we're groping in the dark here...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohim2013:
I get a response when I enter "fastboot devices", and I see the device. However, I can't use the command fastboot oem unlock. It tells me that I have to select enable oem unlocking.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
You're not reading the posts that I pointed you to. You need to download the Android N preview OTA and sideload it in that recovery screen via the CMD window. Once you've got Android N on the device you may be able to unlock the bootloader, though I've seen comments about it being greyed out. If you manage to load Android N then at least you have a working device, no? And if you do manage to unlock the bootloader then you can flash whatever ROM you like.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohim2013:
Problem occurs at Step. 4 "Select the option "Apply update through ADB"

I do not get the list of options.....even after Press & hold the Power button. While holding Power, press the Volume up button once. Then release the Power button.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Android N Preview 2 grays out the "Enable OEM Unlock" option, while Preview 1 doesn't. The reason the Preview 1 OTA works so well to recover bricked devices is that it is a full system image, signed by Google, and flashable through the stock recovery. The Preview 2 OTA zips are most likely deltas, and thus only include the changes made to the system, rather than the complete system image.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohim2013:
Problem solved. Uninstall all android drivers. Reinstall new ones via google usb installer. Make sure in recovery mode you hit power, volume +, and volume - continuously until you see the options. Thank you all! :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
So do we understand that you have a working device?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohim2013:
yessiirr!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohim2013:
If your stuck in a locked state and want to downgrade. (Android N grays out OEM unlocking) Go to https://www.google.com/android/beta and opt in using the email your using on the phone. Then opt out. Go to settings and a OTA downgrade will be given.

Flash the 22B TOT and then the KDZ for whatever stock ROM you want to be on. I haven't tested builds of his CM13 in two weeks so there's no telling what the trouble is.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawhayang:
Flash the TOT

Is there a proper way of "flashing" or installing the 22B TOT? and I currently have Jellybean (for VK81011A_01) because it was easier to install TWRP. If I follow your steps, will it erase everything including TWRP? Also, is flashing the 22B TOT the same as installing a custom ROM?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes, just Google "TOT method" and just use the VK810 drivers from the manufacturer's website and the TOT and .DLL that I provide in my VK810 TOT and KDZ thread in my signature below. There's a thread in the LG G3 (non-carrier specific) General section for a program called LGUp. We probably can't use LGUp but the second post of the thread details the "normal" TOT method using the old program which will work on the VK810.

TOTs and KDZs are similar, but different and with these older LG devices are flashed with different programs, and both are flashed while you're in Download mode. TOTs erase everything, put it back completely stock including wiping the internal storage, similar to KDZs at least with LG Flash Tool 2014's CSE option that wipes all data too. TOTs and KDZs are completely stock LG ROMs. TOTs in particular get rid of software damage that can be caused by all sorts of things. Since I don't know what the cause of the problems are in trying to flash CM13, that's why I recommended the TOT. So yes, TOTs and KDZs get rid of TWRP.

You could try wiping Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data and flash one of my Lollipop ROMs in the Development (non-original) section, also in my signature below.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawhayang:
Ok

Ok, so I flashed the TOT. Afterwards, do I select Normal Flash or CSE Flash for the KDZ method? Also, after that I install TWRP and try to install the custom ROM (Marshmallow) for VK810?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you're going to install TWRP and another ROM, you don't have to flash any KDZ. Just root with Stump as usual, follow the directions I believe I link to in my General thread for downgrading your aboot (bootloader) in order to install the initial v2.7.0.1 of TWRP and then upgrade your TWRP to the latest that 2.8.7.0 that I also link to in that thread. The LG Flash Tool 2014 thread describes the difference between CSE and Normal. CSE wipes all user data including internal storage, Normal doesn't. You should almost always use "CSE".

I don't know why you'd try to install the custom Marshmallow ROM again. If you had trouble before I would think you would have trouble every time. If you want, you can try, but if you have the same problem I'd suggest flashing the TOT again.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawhayang:
I went back to flash the KDZ from this post again. http://xdaforums.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/vk810-4g-reliable-to-root-install-t3283027

When I flashed the TOT, it wouldn't install TWRP. I know that the link you showed me was the only available custom Marshmallow for VK810. Is there any other method to go about upgrading VK810 to Marshmallow?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
After I flashed the TOT, once I downgraded the bootloader, I was able to install TWRP.

None that I'm aware of.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawhayang:
How do you

I flashed KitKat 4.4.2 with the TOT method. How do you "downgrade the bootloader?" Do you mean just downgrade to Jellybean 4.2.2.?

Did the ROMS by invisiblek work for your VK810?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
