Cheers Neuer_User! We'll see!

First thank you for the reply! I'm a beginner in adb and only managed to solve another watch a month ago. Would you mind be more specific? I mean at which step should I use this command? Thanks in advance.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
But be aware that you will get force closes in applications.
[Amazfit] pendulum123:
Would you mind showing me the order to introduce this commands and at which step? Thanks in advance!
[Amazfit] dreamweaver3002:
Dear pendulum123

As suggested by [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] you will get force closes in application, My watch's bootloader is also locked. I am waiting for [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] magic. Better not to run the commands which [MENTION=6298882]An3urysm[/MENTION] has suggested you
[Amazfit] pendulum123:
Yes, that was just what I was going to do. I also mailed the Amazfit official site and I got a reply that this year they will FINALLY insert the language command on the further uploads.
[Amazfit] dreamweaver3002:
Do let us know if you will find any work around for english
[Amazfit] pendulum123:
Of course!

What do you think about the way exposed in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHs_n9Wccog ? Does it worth a try?
[Amazfit] pendulum123:
I've been adviced once again to use:

D:\amazfit>adb shell "setprop persist.sys.language en"

D:\amazfit>adb reboot

I just bought it and it's Chinese A1602 with 0.9.50 ROM.

What should I do to install english because on the guide it says to root it with CN ver 1.2.3.

Thank you.
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
you can just flash the full rel 12 Pacefied pack directly on it.
[Amazfit] eisaisobaros:
At step 4.3 it says to download a file for temp root but there it says another firmware... that's why I'm asking

What do you suggest Pacefied or Official English?

Question on Watchfaces:

Is it possible to install custom watchfaces on the 1.3.2b ROM from NEUER? I have seen some videos on this, but in spanish...so not sure it applies to pace. If someone has a link to a tutorial pls, thank you!
[Amazfit] LukaPochi:
Newbie here:

If I buy the english verison (and hopefully the watch still has the bootloader unlocked) you will hightly suggest to flash it and use the PACEfield version?

If I change my mind I can go back to the english official version and OTA update (wich eventually will lock the bootloader) ?

Thanks
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
It's has been answered couple of times and answer is yes. However, I've never tried. I'm using official firmware and now have locked bl.

P.S.

Nobody ever asked, is it possible to convert from English to Chinese firmware? :D
[Amazfit] CakraMas:
I just got my Amazfit A1602 with ROM ver. 1.2.15h. Can I directly use this method to replace with the english version ROM or should I update it first to last version ROM then use this method?
[Amazfit] gabyonyx:
Don't update it. You'll get the bootloader locked. Use directly this method, should work.
[Amazfit] alexinc:
don't update first, otherwise your bootloader gets locked and you can't update anything else besides the official updates!!! i recommend to install pacefied!
[Amazfit] CakraMas:
It means I can directly use the method with my ROM version? Thanks
[Amazfit] alexinc:
yes! as neuer_user mentions in first sentence: you'll get latest official us release, but unlocked bootloader from earlier version.

Great, thanks for the answer.

[Amazfit] andree182:
Sorry to bother ya, I tried this though I knew it won't/can't really help - and it didn't. I suspect hw issue, since after a day it magically started to work. But anyhow...

I think the approach above is now invalid, right? 0.9.5 -> update -> flash PACEfied. Because update will lock the firmware. (PS: Also I'd advise to do factory reset after reverting to an older version).

Could you please check which version of FTS_TS firmware you have? It's available e.g. in /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/1-006c/ftstpfwver . Is there somewhere a dump of the 1.2.12 ROM (or later) available, from which we could strip out the new fw? Updating it should be doable via the sysfs interface...

EDIT: Yup, it's official, my watch is broken. The following happens after some shaking: :(

New Firmware 1.3.3a

I used this tutorial ( (NEW) TUTORIAL: Convert Xiaomi Amazfit Smartwatch from Chinese to English firmware) to convert my watch and today 15/06/2017 i received from my watch the notice of an update to firmware 1.3.3a. Can I do it? if i update my bootloader will be locked? Thank you.
[Amazfit] island3r:
Yes this update has exactly the same bootloader as 1.3.2b. So if you update yes you will lock it.

Update and some other issues

Hi guys,

Firstly thanks to Neuer_User for his great work.

Well, I received my AMAZFIT Watch yesterday from retailer. It is the A1602 version, and it already came with English ROM version 1.3.0n. Inside "Settings" in the 'about' page it shows Name: Amazfit Pace, Model: A1612, ROM: 1.3.0n.

Everything is working fine except "Training Center" widget is not found in the watch. And after setting up the watch i got notification for the latest OTA update. But when i tried to update the watch, OTA it is giving me error.

I am not sure what to do and need help at this stage.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Sayem
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
First of all, you don't have the Training Center in the 1.3.0n US build, it was released later on in the 1.3.2b build, and it's present in the 1.3.3a latest build.

regarding the failing OTA, cannot find the original post by [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION], but you can download the fix of the recovery over here:

https://mega.nz/#!MM9zHIYR!zBrM7G1sGk7wXT6bw__NHaGLyFZEr9pfCc86R804uKI

note that it will lock your bootloader and you will not be able to flash anything else again.

if you're into remaining on an open bootloader, please be patient, a 1.3.3a with an open bootloader should be available in the near future.
[Amazfit] sayem_unlimited:
Thanks a lot for your suggestions and help.

I don't mind being on locked bootloader along with the official English ROM as long it supports OTA and i'm being able to be updated by OTA.

And right now i'm not being able to find v 1.3.2b anywhere and left with a useless 1.3.0n.

If i flash the recovery fix will i be able to be upgraded by the OTA to 1.3.3a ???

Please reply.

Thanks.
[Amazfit] albiik:
I did not try it but after fix it should help. However, I will wait in your place for the firmware 1.3.3a from [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION]. On time of waiting I sent you something for PM.

[Amazfit] island3r:
No the recovery fix doesn't help in this case unfortunately. edit: at least for me.

I was able to update to 1.3.3a (with the uboot file removed of course) but through a very different and time consuming method. I suggest you wait for the OP to post his version.
[Amazfit] sayem_unlimited:
Thanks a lot for your help.

I applied the recovery fix and it worked. i updated via OTA and now my version is 1.3.3a. i know it locked the bootloader, but couldn't wait, cuz otherwise i had to send it back to the supplier to have the fix as they said they would look at the problem and give a solution. But i don't have faith in them as i do rely more on friends at XDA. So for now i'm happy if the OTA works in future and i'll have to wait till someone be able to unlock the bootloader again.

Thanks again.

[Amazfit] gabyonyx:
I have the Chinese version and I'm using pacefied from the first day. So I don't know how ota behaves. If there's an ota update, it will start do download and install automatically? User can't postpone or cancel the update?
[Amazfit] slackovic:
When I got my watch last week, it was on US version 1.3.0. I got info about the update, but I could choose not tu update it. After I installed PACEfied, I never got info about any update but I guess user can too choose whether to update or not. But I'm not sure that OTA even works on PACEfied...
[Amazfit] gabyonyx:
Thanks for the info. So, if I install the English firmware, any update won't install by itself, without user approvement.

Ota doesn't work on pacefied.
[Amazfit] slackovic:
I can't guarantee, but it asked me if I wanted to update. It asked in the Amazfit app and on the watch itself (I think). Just don't accidentally press OK to update.

I don't know how to turn off OTA updates.

Hello, just tried to install official 1.3.3a (with unlocked bl) over 1.2.22 from silver-alx. everything was without errors, bu after update and reboot i got permanent loading process (running circles for more then 1h already). any ideas?

thanks a lot in advance.
[Amazfit] slackovic:
Can't you try installing the old ROM or PACEfied ROM instead of 1.3.3a.

Poslano sa mog Redmi 3 koristeći Tapatalk
[Amazfit] gaksenov:
i return back to 1.2.22
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
This is because the rom from silver-alx is completely recompiled with different signatures. You cannot switch between any official / PACEfied rom (which uses original signatures) and silver-alx rom without completely erasing all data.
[Amazfit] gaksenov:
i made reset to factory defaults before and it doesn't help.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
I think it is not that easy. If you do a factory reset, the watch reboots to recovery, then deletes all data, then reboots, at which stage data wil be rebuilt with the silver-alx signatures.

The correct process would probably be (haven't tried myself):

Install the official ROM (from this thread)

When watch is in boot loop, enter adb

reboot to fastboot

in fastboot delete all data (there is a data delete command, which I do not remember now)

Then reboot the watch from fastboot.
[Amazfit] gaksenov:
which one?

> fastboot erase boot

> fastboot erase cache

> fastboot erase recovery

> fastboot erase system

> fastboot erase userdata
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Userdata
[Amazfit] gaksenov:
thanks a lot. now it is working...

adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot erase cache

is Amazfit chinese Rom 1.0.0 safe for flashing English firmware

Hi.

i am facing a confusion. the guide says you must update your Chinese firmware first. Specially if its earlier releases to avoid screen locks and loss of touch screen issues. i am on chinese version 1.0.0.. if i update , the chinese OTA gives me 1.2.15h WHICH HAS LOCKED ROOT.

what should i do? use existing Chinese 1.0.0 and flash it? or is there any manual procedure to manually update to usable official chinese rom like 1.2.4 etc (pre lock version).

thanks
[Amazfit] fzelle:
That is not stated in the tutorial here or in that from Neuer_User.

The Tutorials were Updated with every version, the Postings here didn't.

so is it safe then to go ahead??

Do NOT update. That is old advise. The current guido should no longer say so. (If you find somewhere still telling this, please highlight it, so I can correct it.)

New watch

Guys plz help me here I'm receiving new amazfit watch from China i t will be Chinese for sure so I have two questions

1- if the watch comes with latest Chinese firmware with LOCKED BOOTLOADER can I see change to English

2- if this is not possible what should I do the watch still in China maybe they can convert from Chinese to English

3- how to check if the BOOTLOADER is locked

Thank you I'm just looking for help sorry I made some mistakes
[Amazfit] Diginix:
Language changing has nothing to do with closed bootloader or root.

Just install adb+drivers, connect the Pace and enter that in cmd:

adb reboot

[Amazfit] madtech360:
I am not sure I understand the problem entirely. On one hand you say, you are not able to see Wifi and Bluetooth settings, on the other hand you say you are not able to connect your watch to App. Have you ever in the past, paired your watch with the App?

Wifi and Bluetooth settings located under Settings -> Connection. You goto settings from Watchface , swiping down from top and clicking the icon with the "Nut" symbol

Can you please confirm the Watch ROM Version? Settings -> About

Try factory reset (Settings -> Device -> Factory Reset). This should remove the pairing and show the QR Code again

If it doesnot, Goto Settings -> About -> Scroll Down to Legal Statment. Keep clicking it multiple times unil you see Lab is enabled. The Lab menu will right below Legal Statement Open Lab and select Launcher App List. Now go back to Watchface and scroll all the way to Right. You will a list of App (like App Drawer in Andriod). Scroll down and click on App "BLE Conn.." with Apple logo. This will show the QR code again and you can pair with the watch.

All the above is assuming you are in latest Pacefied Version 1.2.29. The Settings menu was different is older versions of the ROM.

Above all, a video or photos, showing your problems will help understand the problem you are facing.

[Amazfit] madtech360:
From watchface (where you see date and time) , you swiped to right ( to sports activities) and left (to see other widgets like steps, weather, timer etc) But you never swiped from top to bottom. That is where you will see the watcnlh settings and few other option like airplane mode, backlight, silent.

[youtube]Y72N09zQgPQ[/youtube]

As far as I see you have all the features that everyone has...I am not sure what you are missing..

The settings you see in sports screen is related to sports activities and not the watch settings.

In every screen swipe across all sides, click..there are lots of screens invoked by swiping and clicking...

Lastly, this is sports smart watch targetted for sports enthusiasts...if you are looking for features like replying to SMS, Facebook's posts, WhatsApp messages, emails, attending and answering calls...you have got the wrong smart watch.

You can still see SMS, WhatsApp messages, notification from any apps you have in your phone...basically the notifications you see in your phone can be viewed in the watch.
