I completely agree. There was a post in the past (can't find it anymore) about a translation to Russian that was made. Any news on that method?
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
What i would do if i were them is that i would develop the chinese version in small steps and get the Harware and basic functions running as good as possible.

After getting some progress in stable versions i would then continue with the English or international version where i only have to do the troubleshooting for the translations and the different sync apps and that's probably what they do at the moment. Small updates on CN, bigger updates on US.

As long as the US version doesn't support metric distances, i will stay at CN.

On the other hand some US customers aren't too happy about the 24h time display which i really don't get.

In Germany we officially use 24h format but when we talk we still use the twelve hour format - no problem to look at a watch showing 19:15 and telling someone that it's quarter past seven.

24h is more accurate because confusing AM and PM is not possible. ;)

Maybe should be better one in wich you collect all the infos and in the future your custom Rom.

I mean:

how to go from Ch to Us and back

how to dump firmware

how to unbrick

how to enter manually fastboot (also if not certified)

And reserve post #2/3 for future development

[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
To the latest (released yesterday) is not possible, you can go back to 1.2.3 or downgrade to 0.9.5 according to [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] method

[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Do NOT downgrade to 0.9.50, if you are NOT of of the persons having freeze issues after flashing the English version. If you wannt to go back to Chinese, flash the Chinese 1.2.3 version and then upgrade from the watch to the latest CN version (e.g. 1.2.5a).

[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Not sure, I can follow. I understand, you rebooted. Then, what is the status currently? Does the watch boot normally?

The backup "Creating system.img.bak" can take up to 30 min, apparently. Actually, interrupting during doing the backup does not do any harm. Only when the flashing runs, then you MUST NOT INTERRUPT OR REBOOT.

If it's correctly rebooting, no problem.

As said, there is no risk of it is really only doing the backup. It waits for your confirmation before it starts flashing.

But we have one guy here, you said he rebooted during backup, but apparently the script was already flashing => bricked. ?

I also have tried on a Nexus 5x and the results were the same.

Any suggestions?

Suggestion: Why don't we make a restoring script which allows us to flash the backup images, so if people fail to flash the English firmware, they can directly use the restoring script to recover their devices before rebooting. They don't need to keep their watches on when they are diagnosing or getting help. If their watches ACCIDENTALLY turn off, it permanently bricks their devices.
[Amazfit] lordlynx:
Thanks Neuer_User for checking my 0.9.5 backup files for me.

I decided to go with the 0.9.5 files posted instead of mine - flashed OK but on reboot, after apps optimised, the watch reported 'unfortunately, Sport has stopped' once and then 'unfortunately, 健康 has stopped' (Health?) repeatedly while on most screens - barely a second between tapping to dismiss the error and getting it again.

I then tried flashing my 0.9.5 backup over the top but no difference - as expected since you confirmed my backup and the 0.9.5 CN image in this thread have basically the same content anyway.

On the plus side, I can confirm the screen freeze issue is gone.

I eventually managed to factory reset the watch which got rid of the errors, then

- setprop persist.sys.language en (via adb shell) and rebooted, so I could at least read some of the watch screens

- confirmed the factory reset had cleared out everything I uploaded to /sdcard/, and the Update.zip I originally found there

- paired the watch to the Amazfit Watch (iOS v1.1.9) app, which was all new for me given I'd never used the app before, not my watch!

- the watch asks only one question during pairing - which arm are you wearing the watch on: Left (左) or Right (右). Tap either, you can change it later via More Settings > Wear Habit

- Put the watch on Wifi (have to have the App open when you select your Wifi network on the watch, you are then prompted to enter the wifi keyphrase / password in the Phone App)

- Updated Chinese firmware to 1.2.5a via the watch. Confirmed via the App (ROM version in More Details) and via adb shell (getprop ro.build.display.id)

- Changed firmware to English 1.3.0n. Creating a 1.2.5a system backup image took over half an hour ..

[Amazfit] newuser2017:
I really appreciate the work and helpful information of Neuer_User and his followers. Maybe this comment could be useful for some who had problems to connect their amazfit watch to windows 7. I had this small issue when I have installed adb (e.g. like https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979). Windows 7 has installed it as "Android Google Nexus ADB Interface" (when you look in the device manager). Consequently, the watch was not correctly recognized (e.g. not mounted as external, wearable device) and all the adb commands did not work, such as "adb devices". I have tried the other recommended usb driver from darkmaniac (https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html), but this either does not work. The following way has worked for me: update the driver via device manager, in the Hardware Update wizard, by selecting "Browse my computer for driver software and click Next". Here, 2 options has been appeared in my case: "Android Google Nexus ADB Interface" and just "USB Interface". Chose the "USB Interface" and, finally, your watch will be recognized as "Android Composite ADB Interface" as it should be. Now, everything has worked for me and I have the watch in the English version without any problems right now. Even, the USB connection to Windows works now so that I can copy music files to the watch.

Only for information, distances are displayed in miles but VALUES are in KM ! They are shown correctly in Mifit and Midong apps, no convertion needed. Tested yesterday with a Garmin and Amazfit together.

The real problem seems the elevation. Yesterday during my snowshoes walking I start from about 1400mt to 2300mt but Amazift shows elevations from a minimum altitude of 351 to 1165 feets (but in facts are meters) with a cumulative climbing of 820. The elevation difference it's about correct but not starting and arriving quotes.

I'm on 1.2.5a firmware and 1.2.0 Amazfit watch app, with "setprop persist.sys.language en" enabled. I never changed from Chinese to English firmware.

My bluetooth connection it's very stable and strong (more than 10 meters) with my Leeco Le Pro 3 (MUI 8 custom ROM) and Amazfit.
