Can I have both of the files please? I want to try to flash the boot.img of the chinese firmware on my watch because it keeps on bootloop.

Update!

My watch has successfully become working again. I just flash the boot.img of the US firmware version and the watch boot normally.

I have flashed and I returned to 1.2.3 Chn.
[Amazfit] luc0_0:
Me too.

Nothing lost, I keep pairing and data.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Very happy to see that [emoji106]

That means that indeed the boot.img was not correctly flashed the first time. Why not, is unclear. But these things may happen.

Very glad to see you could fix it!
[Amazfit] frankc:
Nothing Lost, is present english translation and the last session of running in mile converted in Km.
[Amazfit] heger:
Thanks. I think I give it a try.
[Amazfit] cw7585:
I'm grateful for the efforts that got our Chinese watches the US firmware. It's great to have the watch fully in English but it's revealed just how far behind the US firmware, with no syncing of steps, heart, sleep with Mi Fit or anything else beyond activities with Strava. Hopefully Xiaomi will step it up soon.

[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
For sync with MiFit, you have to install the Chinese version of Amazfit and MiFit apps, they are in English

[Amazfit] cw7585:
Great tip, thanks so much. Just downloaded both from app.qq.com and all's working great. Much better than doing a flash back to Chinese.
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
You mean that you have gone back to Chinese and you have the whole watch translated or just 60/70 %?

Hello

1. The watch was in chinese but working fine

2. I upgrade to the english 1.3n ROM.... problem = when the screen is going into standby mode, I cannot reactivate the watch by pressing the button.

3. I upgrade it back to 1.2.3 chinese ROM and it still has the same issue

4. I upgrade it again to the 1.3n english one = same behaviour :(((( Is my watch bricked? Please note that before to go to standby mode, all functionnalities are working perfectly.

Any idea how to recover my watch please?

Alex
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Two other users have the same issue. Reason so far unknown. Do you know, what fw the watch was on before the flash to English?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
I had downloaded many of the updates that huami did since release 1.0.0a. If I see that correctly, they did upgrade the firmware for the "sensorhub" once.

A sensorhub is a subsystem that controls many of the sensors and wakes the main processor when needed. It might be that those people that converted to English might have missed this sensorhub upgrade.

Just an idea so far. If a brave person wants to try to upgrade his sensorhub fw, then PM me.
[Amazfit] mvanstralen:
Does syncing with Strava still work after doing this.?
[Amazfit] cw7585:
Just tried - no, they don't seem to. However, any events on the watch now show up in the Chinese-issued Mi Fit as they did before in Strava.
[Amazfit] mvanstralen:
OK thanks, in that case I prefer Strava functionality for my running activities.
[Amazfit] ouaille:
Thanks for this tutorial, all works perfectly now.

Note that before applying tutorial, I updated firmware as of january 7, 1.2.4b.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Thanks for the info!
[Amazfit] snoze88:
It would be great to have available an old version of the CN fw, like the 0.9.x that the watch is shipped with.

Maybe it could help the guys with touchscreen problems (they could flash this old version back, then update the watch and do the conversion again)
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
Huami made a choice: Chinese Amazfit app syncs with MiFit and Midong ;Play Store Amazfit app sync with Strava

Also in this case, they choose to split the market! Chinese from Worldwide

Thanks for the tutorial, my amazfit is now in English. :o . . already before the update l had a problem that concerned the bluetooth and wifi and it is not solved. the connection with the smartphone takes place only if the distance is very short (about 10 cm).

wifi takes only if they are near the router. this problem is likely occurred when l translated via adb the amazfit but I'm not sure.

I already tried It with other smartphone with the same problem.

Help me!

Thanks.

Sorry for my English
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
To be honest : that sounds to me clearly like a hardware problem.
[Amazfit] dodes19:
[MENTION=4266990]Pi3rluigi[/MENTION], actualy, there is no choice. I am using iphone and when I get my CH Amazfit watch, only available app in app store "AMAZFIT" was already translated to english and used MiFit and Midong for syncing the records.

Just few weeks ago, there was update of AMAZFIT app and syncing was changed to STRAVA (which I can pass authorization on my iphone-dont know why) - but, synchronization is working.

So I had to delete MiFit app which I used before, cause it is no onger supported and installed STRAVA - I already get used to.

Still I am using CH version of watch with latest update 1.2.4b together with Iphone - all works like a charm ( I realy thought I will swap to EN version as the guys here made huge development, but I prefer km to see on my watch - once it will be possible to change, I surely will modify firmware)

Cheers

Hi to everybody,

I'm trying to "update" to english firmware but I obtain the error showed in the image attached. I have the 1.2.4b chinese firm.

Anybody knows whats happend?

EDIT: Done!

The problem was that adb shell got an error before reconect to smartwatch.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
The problem is when you type "adb shell". This does not work (all the other commands afterwards did not execute). Please download the right Universal adb drivers (see post 2 of this tutorial).
[Amazfit] OrangeView:
Finally I managed to FULLY TRANSFORM (100%) my watch Amazfit from CHinese firmware (ver. 1.2.4b) Model A1602 to ENglish firmware (ver. 1.3.0n) Model A1612 by following your instructions.

Thanks a lot Neuer_User! Outstanding work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ENGlish version it seams to be older (does not have at Sports Section, Cycling and Cycling indoors) than the CHinese one but I hope to get them at the following update.

Hints: Avoid USB 3.0 slots - it does not let you push the files from the archive to the watch

I will give xiaomi some time to update the English version. If they don't care about the US Pace version and stay at the old firmware, I will consider starting a project transferring the English language to the Chinese version.
[Amazfit] Alex38000:
Hello

Thanks for your reply. I sent you a MP regarding the sensorhub fw upgrade.....

My original watch fw was 0.9.3 if I remember correctly.....

Cheers

Alex
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
The point is that I still am lacking some updates before version 1.0.0p. The server does not give me any updates when I state my current firmware as "0.9.3" or "0.9.5" or "0.9.3p" or similar. I am a careful person and do not want anyone to start flashing something untested. There is always the risk of a full brick.

If you find a person with a watch still at that firmware, we could try to dump the firmware and then flash that back on your watch. That would (most probably) the best and most promising way. So, if you know of a guy having ordered a chinese watch or still waiting to receive his chinese watch, that could be a good start. Talk with him, before he updates the firmware.

On another approach, I'd like to have a look at the logs in the watch. That is , if the watch is still responsive via adb, when the screen is frozen. Could you try to see, if the watch still reacts via adb then?
[Amazfit] Alex38000:
Unfortunately, nobody around me with such watch.

I need to review all the posts because I was able to connect to the watch and see the logs, but I don't remember how I did it.
[Amazfit] OrangeView:
After the process I tested also the Factory reset and works fine!!!! The watch stay in the ENGlish version. No more CHinese :)
[Amazfit] fespafer:
I'm having a lot of issues about GPS accuracy, any idea on how could be better?.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Ideally, you boot the watch with my modified boot.img (https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/tutorial-howto-gain-root-access-via-adb-t3533892). Then you adb into the watch

adb shell

You should see only a "#" (this mean "root shell").

Then you wait until the watch freezes. When that happened, check, if the shell is still responsive. if yes, then please collect the output of "dmesg" and of "logcat".
[Amazfit] OrangeView:
I was wondering after the successful transformation from CH to ENG, do I have to clean any unused files from the watch?
[Amazfit] Ryhor.:
I have version 0.9.50 , but i dont now how to make dump version
[Amazfit] Alex38000:
Thanks for the help. I did that and to make it freezes, I had to disconnect it from the laptop.

When I plugged it back, the laptop is not seeing the watch so I cannot send you the dmesg or logcat.

Nevertheless, I attached the logcat and dmesg before I disconnected it .
[Amazfit] heger:
Thaks for your reply.

I gave it (3x) a try yesterday, but it failed. I'm doing something wrong, I presume, but don't know what.

I've got the 1.2.4b updated version from the watch and went through the steps. All went well, till the command "fastboot devices" to check it. Then I got an error: "ERROR: could not get pipe properties". My watch is showing the fastboot mode......After that nothing happens, except for the error reports (repeatedly). I don't know if it is of any interest, but I'm doing this on a Imac. Had earlier installed ADB & Fastboot, after the failures yesterday I uninstalled it and re-installed it. Tried it again, but with the same (no) result.

As nothing happened ( and my watch got stuck in fastboot mode) I couldn't do nothing else then to disconnect the watch from the computer. I could "reset" the watch by long pressing the on/of knob and turn it on again. It worked like before....pfffff :). I copied the (terminal) commands up to the error messages. Maybe somebody can make something of it. Would be awesome...

PS: I deleted my name after Imac for "privacy" reasons....:D

[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Thanks, that would be very helpful for the guys that have touchscreen problems.

I can write a short tutorial. Do you have adb and fastboot installed on your PC? (You would need to have that anyway, if you want to switch to the English version.)
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
This is very probably a PC (MAC) problem with the fastboot install. I have no experience with MACs. Maybe some other guy has. Otherwise use a PC for this.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
OK, so it freezes completely.

My best guess is still to go back to 0.9.50. There is another guy on the forum, who still has this version. I will try to work with him to get a dump.
[Amazfit] OrangeView:
​After the successful transformation from CH to EN firmware, how can I switch the watch from mi to km?

I am using the Amazfit Watch App (from Play Store) and Strava App

The UNITS in my profile in the Amazfit Watch App is in METRIC
[Amazfit] martinh22:
hi, already 10 minutes no command, the grid flashes and nothing now?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Difficult to understand what your exact problem is.

If I guess correctly, you have now booted into the modded recovery ("fastboot boot AmazFit-mod-recover.img"). So, the next step is to go into "adb shell". Check first, if your device is visible via "adb devices". If not, then something is wrong (often wrong adb drivers).

If you are successfully in "adb shell", just follow the tutorial.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
The english firmware is older than the chinese one and currently does not support metric units yet.
[Amazfit] martinh22:
I wrote all the instructions but when I wrote the command: adb shell and grille and gave nothing 15 minutes

What do I have to cancel everything and reconnect with that updates drivers adb?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Probably yes. So far, no changes have been made to the system of the watch (only the files have been uploaded on the sdcard). So, you can safely reboot.
[Amazfit] hkgbenlo:
I'm still notable to push the boot img
[Amazfit] martinh22:
so I tried znova', I have adb 1.4.3 update, I automatically win control: drivers are current.

So I followed the instructions again before the command adb shell, I still wrote adb devices if it is connected to everything ok

So I wrote the command adb shell and nothing

Do you have somewhere current driver for adb android try to manually put there thanks
[Amazfit] Lobod:
I THINK that all is Ok You're in shell with Root Permissions (#). Go ahead.
[Amazfit] martinh22:
now it goes wrong, I looked at the CD I saw the gap :D

everything has been going through
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
either adb drivr problem or cable
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
what do you mean "you cannot write anything"? If you type on your keyboard, you cannot enter commands?

From your picture everything looks ok. You would need to enter the next commands now.
[Amazfit] martinh22:
so therefore I wanted to continue so I wrote: cd / data / media / 0 / not found even if they wrote adb devices and not found
[Amazfit] snoze88:
You're missing a space after CD
[Amazfit] martinh22:
not always the same
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:

Which SDK?

I had that errors too, changed usb cable (I used a Xiaomi original one for phones) and I can go ahead; the errors were ignored as you can see...
[Amazfit] martinh22:
What would happen if I disconnect the watch again joined and continued in command?
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
I am thinking of ordering one of the Chinese watches. So if i get it i will not update it at first and give you Informations on the firmware version on it.

If you can give me Informations on how to dump the Firmware i can send you the file.

I use Ubuntu 16.04 but i also have a Win10 PC that i could consider to switch on for the purpose of getting the firmware. ;)

According to your user name you seem to speak German?;)
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Yes, I speak German ?

The watch does not update itself. It will check for updates, but you will always need to initiate/confirm any update. You also need to have configured WiFi access on the watch for any OTA.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
I will write some updated instructions how to dump the firmware. I will also update the conversion script so that every flash will make a backup first.
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
Can you also add adb commands to delete files, when flashed?
