That was quick and so am i. :)

Update works after following these instructions.

Thank you very much!
[Amazfit] tuga33:
Tried but it didn't work.

May have done something wrong when choosing the file boot-CN-adb-root.img. On that step i chose the US version. But gained root access anyway and it let me complete the rest of the tutorial with no issues.

When i try to update it gives a message: "Update check failed, please retry later".
[Amazfit] OrangeView:
I read the previous pages but I could not find any relevant case.

I forgot to mention that I have already installed (since January) in my watch the ENglish version ROM 1.3.0n

Hi,

Tried to do the update via OTA for the new firmware version and says: "update pack download failed"

To do the OTA correctly, I just have to follow the instructions of the post "#599" right?

Ok. I have chinese version, convert to Aamzfit Pace (week ago) with polish language.

How I should flash new version? I have to wait to version from Neuer_User and flash like in the first post (via adb)?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
This tutorial here has nothing to do with the PACEfied ROM. A new release there will be posted, when ready.

This thread here is about converting the Chinese watch to the official US version.

[Amazfit] GrassFire:
Anyone figure out what is different in the new rom?

NM, I got an email from them:

An over-the-air firmware update for Amazfit Pace and the corresponding Amazfit Watch companion apps (Android and iOS) was just released.

What has changed:

New sports modes: Bike, Bike Indoor, and Run Indoor

Optimized heart rate, pace and GPS route algorithms

Support metric (km) / imperial (mi.) unit switch

Added watch face background customization support

Added airplane mode feature

Optimized activity data synchronization process

Updated GPS firmware

There is also something called HUAMI Lab with PPG Capturing listed under More settings.

Hi mates,

One small problem :

1|root@watch:/sdcard # adb push install_recovery.sh /sdcard/

cannot stat 'install_recovery.sh': No such file or directory

1|root@watch:/sdcard # adb push md5s.txt /sdcard/

2 KB/s (94 bytes in 0.041s)

root@watch:/sdcard #

I seem to be unable to push the recovery.img file and install_recovery.sh file. Switched the file location on my PC in diferent folders and partitions ... no luck. The MD5 file, was sent ...

Why ?

Thank you

SOLVED :

Transfer the files without root, and then root and flash :

Content of the 2 archives can be put together.

-Watch powered on, normal usage mode-

Enter commands :

adb devices

adb push install_recovery.sh /sdcard/

adb push recovery.img /sdcard/

adb push md5s.txt /sdcard/

adb shell reboot bootloader

- Watch reboots in fastboot mode-

Enter commands :

fastboot devices

fastboot boot boot-US-adb-root.img

- Watch reboots in normal mode but with root access-

Enter commands :

adb shell

cd /sdcard/

sh install_recovery.sh

reboot

Now OTA update seems to be working !

You need root to apply the fix. OTA should work then without root.

Convert from CN to EN

Hi NeuerUser and all hard-coders.

Long time not joined this site, as my CN watch worked well with IOS Amazfit app and syncing with STRAVA till last update 1.2.10? (my guess).

Anyway, after full factory reset my watch are no longer possible to pair with Amazfit app - it is requesting only to change region to CN and pair with Mifit only - I realy prefer STRAVA app for my activities....so now I realy need possible support to convert to EN version 1.3.1m (based on latest news of OTA update).

Is there some full instruction, how to convert never flashed CN watches with latest CN firmware 1.2.10 to EN 1.3.1m with working OTA?

If you can somehow instruct me, I will be realy thankful (here, E,mail, skype, or any possible way) I am not realy hero in coding, but hope I can make it somehow....BIG THANKS for any king of support guys.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
If you can wait a couple of days, I plan to release a simple install (with ota fix included).
[Amazfit] dodes19:
Hi mate, sure I can wait...watches laying here in front of me with QR code screen...no meaning for me to continue with mifit app.

problems to start

following your nstruction regarding fastboot, i go in right way up to , but after fastboot boot-CN-adb-root.img I don't know what I have to use, I have a amazfit bought in chinese and I changed using english version 1.3.0n, now which I need to use for the command? fastboot boot-CN-adb-root.img or US?

Anyway I am able to start in fastboot mode directly without command using a youtube video that use a valid method mixed with time and right USB insert into pc, can i jump this temporarly method for boot "fastboot boot-CN-adb-root.img" or not and push via adb shell all files ?

thank in advance for you feeback
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
If you have US installed you have to use the US boot to get root. If you have another option to get root you can use that, too but i do not know if your Youtube solution works.

After that you can check with "adb shell" if you are root, the shell hast to show # instead of $. exit shell with "exit" then push all the files you extracted.

Go back into shell and do the rest (Step 5)

actualy it worked perfectly time ago, ( even the authorization was impossible to pass in strava, sync just worked) but since last update sync doesnt work at all.

After factory reset of watch and reinstall amazfit app in phone, it is impossible to pair CN watch with amazfit app - only option is to change region and pair with useless mifit app.

I was totaly amazed how all worked with iOS from beginning, but now I am stucked. Thats why I would like to swap to US version (even with miles) if all will be working again.

Dont know if there are watches with same funktionality and batery life like those...

NeuerUser wrote he is going to prepare guide how to swap from latest CN to latest US version with OTA updates working .... I can not support him in this matter (I can not code, even I am learning) but I believe in his amazfiting skills...and only can appreciate his and others will to help to anybody in here.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
As far as i read on Facebook all Chinese Watches stopped syncing with Strava so it's not about the ROM, it's about the serial number.

Mine synched after the Update to 1.2.10 but since yesterday it seems to require a US serial number to do so.

That is so stupid. We should complain at Strava that Huami is taking away customers from them.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Interesting hypothesis. We could check that as I probably know how to change the serial number ?
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
That would be interesting but please use a number from a watch you own or you know the owner. We do not know if they check for multiple watches with the same number and probably exclude them. ;)

Only few people have it. Some of them fixed it by a Factory Reset. Other by installing the correct matching Phone app (as apparently the synch mechanism changed).

So, if you have 1.3.1m, then use the Playstore app. If you use latest PACEfied or original FW, then use latest Chinese Phone app.

Hope that helps.

Hi. I did a factory reset as soon as I noticed the battery drain.

Activation needed before update of CN watch

Hi all,

I'm currently not able to activate my CN watch...some issue with region/language settings in my iphone.

Do I have to update the CN firmware before flashing to US version? (I've read that it's advised to update the CN watch first....but in order to do so, I first need to be able to activate the watch)

Any help is appreciated.

Update:

I managed to convert my CN Amazfit to the US version 1.3.0n conform the guide as published by [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION] (Many thanks!). After successful conversion, I performed the procedure to enable OTA...and got the update to 1.3.1m. I haven't been able to activate the watch via QR code with the CN firmware on it due to incompatible language / region settings in my iPhone, so I took the risk to flash without updating first!

There is however an important observation while performing the procedure from a Mac (El Capitan):

I had to use the full path to the <file> in the fastboot commands: "fastboot boot Amazfit-mod-recovery.img" --> "./fastboot boot /Users/<Mac User name>/Desktop/Amazfit_stuff/Amazfit-mod-recovery.img".

Without specifying the path, the fastboot command failed (not sure if this has been reported before, if it has...sorry for posting redundant information).
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
On Android you have to set the phone to English to get the pairing message. I was on German and there is no translation so i couldn't connect.

I am not sure if this works on iOS, too.

There are drivers for the touchscreen updated during one of the OTAs. If you flash directly, the watch will freeze when going into standby. So if you do not want a useless device you probably have to do OTA first.
