Bit of an update here which I hope will help others from running into the same problem and perhaps provide some drive for what to do with the Pacefied ROM and development.

In short I decided I would go ahead anyway and OTA to 1.2.13 directly from the CN 0.9.5. Partly because there are more and more people now posting the question how to proceed and partly because even though no one is picking up those questions here, it has been said that the locked bootloader can and will be solved in a future effort. Whether that is anytime soon is a different question and I am not expecting it based on how support is handled at the moment. But seeing as I was fine with the part chinese training app and other aspects of the OTA ROM I thought it would be okay.

Sad to say not so though.

Just to recap: went from CN 0.95 to P 1.2.13 (dev). Then back down to CN 1.2.5 and then down again to CN 0.9.5. This morning I did the OTA to CN 1.2.13e.

Problem now: the stepcounter display app (currently named datacenter) crashes after settting language to En and rebooting.

Before setting the language, all is fine but in chinese obviously. So now a little diddled as the stepping display and history on the watch is broken. Thankfully the MiFit workaround is fine though so not a major hassle, rather just a bit dissapointing if you can't get the MiFit app to sync either... I am expecting the new 1.2.4 OTA any day now though and am hoping that will fix it, but will post back for those interested.

Oh yes, on a side note, access for updating the wiki has been granted so thanks for that! I'll see if I can get some of this info structured for easy use, but am wondering what it is relevant due to the bootloader locking issue now obviously.

Also on a side note: the new watches battery performance is back on par! Whereas the previous one wasted 7%\hour, this one seems stable at 1%\hour. The previous one did that too though before I started pacefying so lets hope things stay like this and it can indeed be written off as a hardware issue and bad battery.
[Amazfit] heger:
- Please do!

- Battery performance never have been an issue for me. My watch ( updatet to the latest PACEfied version), is taking 1% / 2% per hour. Strange, it's seems to differ from watch tot watch...........

- One last question: why did you first downgrade to CH 1.2.5 and not directly to CH 0.9.5? Just to see if that resolves your freezing problems?
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Indeed. It is the only other Chinese rom I could find higher than .9.5 that might solve the freeze and help jump to 1.2.13
[Amazfit] madtech360:
Think I am not too late for you to remedy the situation, anyway for others that have same question:

Use the below link to get version 1.0.2

https://api-watch-us.huami.com/devi...uami.watch&deviceVersion=Amazfit Sports Watch

In the URL play around with the firmwareVersion number, you may get other versions of ROM as well. Unlike .95 version which only provides the option of jumping to the latest, some versions take you thru incremental updates.

We will have to find an upgrade path to reach one of the Pacefied release and then from there one can use full install versions to reach the latest Pacefied Rom.
[Amazfit] MrSpeedy1:
I now have the PACE Rel 8 | 1.2.13 on it. The clock starts normally I can also use everything, switches the clock into the standby, freezes it immediately. Time also stops. Can someone help me?
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
That sounds like the way to freedom but clicking on your link only displays a lot of text but no download options, see below:
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
The download link is on the response.
[Amazfit] madtech360:
Within that text is the fileurl starting with https://cdn.

I have pacefied 1.2.11c what i have to do, to update to 1.2.13?
[Amazfit] Cracklydisc:
How did you downgrade by 1.2.13 dev to 1.2.5? :)
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Yep, had tried that but got error, copied the following fileURL into browser:

and got {CHROME} response:

{IE} gives 404error even.

That could be me or something else, so tried a couple of variations to the fileURL like adding the remaining variables, but no luck. What am I doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Used option 10 from the WIKI (https://gitlab.com/Neuer_User/PACEfied_AmazFit/wikis/Faq)

jumping in after step fastboot

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

okay, scratch that, copying the URL directly from the response instead of the post worked. But looking at it gives buildable files, not compiled ROM. Am I mistaken? If not, then that is not option for generic users. I too have no buildchain setup. Where now?
[Amazfit] madtech360:
If I am not wrong, what you are getting is basically update.zip file. I suppose you can copy that over to your sdcard folder and boot into recovery. The systems should process the update automatically.

I will get confirmation from someone before proceeding.

Make sure you start with 0.0.95 version.
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
This is not for me, my bootloader is locked so I cannot go back or forward other than OTA until that is somehow fixed. This is to help generic users to overcome screenfreeze issue due to broken drivers and who need to find an update path from old CN ROM to P ROM other than using OTA....
[Amazfit] xator91:
up
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
you want to go back to stock or what ?
[Amazfit] xator91:
I want to go to 1.2.13 pacefied. I read about the "locked bootloader" so what i have to do, to update from 1.2.11c (pacefied) to 1.2.13 pacefied
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Locked bootloader issue is for OTA (OverTheAir) updates.

People who are on an older ROM than (apparently, but it is unconfirmed) 1.2.4 get a screen freeze when trying to update directly to a recent Pacefied. They are currently screwed as they cannot update their screen drivers without locking their bootloader.

You are already on a more recent Pacefied ROM than 1.2.4 and do not need to worry as long as you stay Pacefied. So use the first post in this thread as per usual to update from 1.2.11 to 1.2.13
[Amazfit] madtech360:
The below url will give you a response which has a url for 1.2.11c update.

https://api-watch-us.huami.com/devi...uami.watch&deviceVersion=Amazfit Sports Watch

Not sure if it a full update or incremental update

Not
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
Both that one and the previous one provide very small files (4MB & 8MB resp). Doesn't seem likely those are full updates. If I'm not mistaken, only full update would fix the driver issue?
[Amazfit] m.dicerbo:
i confirm, these are files are only incremental updates... where i can find a full update?
[Amazfit] 1immortal:
you have full updates here - https://xdaforums.com/smartwatch/other-smartwatches/tutorial-unbrick-huami-amazfit-t3547300

edit: don't use those ... hmm ... we can try to sideload the incremental updates, need to check it out.

anyone with a pre 1 version wants to try something out ?

please post a link to a pre 1.2.13 ota update, i want to try something out.

added one, its a 1.0.2 version, needs to be sideloaded from the recovery somehow ...
[Amazfit] elios93:
Sorry, but why can't we use the full updates you linked? There is also a 1.2.5a full update that if loaded should let us install PACEfied rom, am I wrong? :confused:

Help

Hello, in this moment I have a 1.2.13 pacefied version, I want to come back to original Chinese firmware, what I have to do? Thanks
[Amazfit] MrSpeedy1:
Hello, unfortunately does not work PACEfied with me. I can flash the firmware, but with all versions the screen freezes. Can someone tell me what I have to do?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
PACEfied AmazFit rel 9 (1.2.14) permanent install released

Just released PACEfied rel 9 based on Chinese firmware 1.2.14.

I updated most of the translations (thanks for your contributions). Enjoy!
[Amazfit] MrSpeedy1:
Where can I download it? Does not freeze my screen?
[Amazfit] rqdb:
Can I update directly from 1.2.11 ?
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
I think yes. Haven't tried it, but I don't think that Huami updated any touchscreen drivers in between.

But use the full install.
[Amazfit] rhtizzy:
wow, thats quick! I havent even received the OTA 1.2.14 notification yet...
[Amazfit] madtech360:
It's a Dev ROM, OTA will show up only for those registered to get Dev ROM.
[Amazfit] MyriaBoa:
Regarding the locked bootloader, wouldn't it be better to block the OTA notifications in PACEfied again? I guess nobody wants the official updates right now.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Well, currently, you cannot install the OTA update on PACEfied anyway. So, if you run on PACEfied, you are not at any risk. The problem would have been with temporary installs, as they were able to install official OTAs.
[Amazfit] calzone123:
This is actually my recording and has little to do with this thread.

But I'm PACEfied too :) When I tried to install this app on PACEfied it gave me an error. I had to boot the watch into original chinese ROM, then install voice recorder and finally I had to boot PACEfied again. Everything works perfectly now.
[Amazfit] martinh22:
How concretely install the apk recording ?
[Amazfit] endrju_pl:
You are very entusiastic at the end, and i understand this joy:) I would like to see better software development on such good, and well priced hardware.
[Amazfit] calzone123:
Guys let's keep this thread about PACEfied :)

I will update the video with instructions. Go visit FB group or other xda threads for Amazfit apks.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Nice thing with the SoundRecorder. Would be great, if you could open another thread here on XDA (facebook is not really good for development),
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
OK, will add them in the next release :good:
[Amazfit] calzone123:
I'm not a developer, really. Just happened to install this app.

So what do you think about this error when installing this app directly on PACEfied firmware. Is it normal?
[Amazfit] luc0_0:
And with my A1206, with 1.2.5a firmware I can pair with Strava but not with Mifit.
[Amazfit] chincheang:
I finally get it right. Now it is almost 100% English with the exception of Alipay and Training Centre. Thanks for the patience and guidance. :good:
[Amazfit] urayandro:
It's because you have installed english amazfit app
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
English training Centre will be in next version. If someone wants to translate alipay, I can add that, too.

I'm close to have the public repository ready, so everybody can participate in translating.
[Amazfit] urayandro:
Does the translation hard? if not, with my limited understanding of android developer i want to contribute translating to my language.
[Amazfit] Beleriand:
It is just editing some xml files. The most complicated part is translating from Chinese. ;)

But you can also take the PACEfied English version and use that a a basis.

And if you want the speech output in your Language it gets a bit more effort as you have to record proper audio files.

But these are simple mp3s, too.
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Yes, translating 90% is not hard (texts). Difficult so far is that Huami did hard-code some resources. That means that the system can only use one language for these things (some parts of the watchfaces, the voices, etc).

I guess that will change in since future version.

That still shouldn't stop you from translating that 90%, if you want ☺️
[Amazfit] chincheang:
I am happy to offer my help in translating if needed.
[Amazfit] DAVID_EST:
public git repository would be great since other languajes translation branches could be created.

If so, I would be very pleased to help in translation to spanish
[Amazfit] Neuer_User:
Yes, exactly. I created the repository on GitLab already. I now need to make sure that the structure is good enough to sustain for a longer time and the expected future development. There also needs to be considered, how many branches can be reasonably maintained. I definitely cannot compile five or six different ROMs every week.

So, I will add new branches only, when I have a maintainer for this. But this doesn't mean that no translations are possible. The AmazFit OS allows partly for localization, e.g. resources can be enhanced with localized resources (e.g. texts; chosen via the "setprop language" command). For some things Huami has, however, decided to hard-code the references, so there are parts that do not use the android localization method (mostly on images).

So, what we can have without making different branches/ROMs is to have one ROM in English that can be set to other languages via "setprop" command, which would cover probably 90% (rest will remain in English).
[Amazfit] aho3:
Please book me in for Hungarian translations
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
I could translate to Italian, but not able to compile rom

Speaking of OTA, it seems that modding the OTA updater package by replacing the OTA links to huami servers with some server of our own wouldn't be difficult. I'd be glad to develop and provide the hosting for a backend application that mimics OTA huami servers for implementing OTA update of PACEfied ROMs. What do you think [MENTION=2750664]Neuer_User[/MENTION]?

Next Update 1.2.5a?
[Amazfit] dreamweaver3002:
Hi Neuer

How can i go back TO THE ORIGINAL FIRMWARE 1.2.11c VIA OTA as i am on 1.2.13e
[Amazfit] soeiro:
Does any one manage to sync data of the international version with strava? Mine doesn't work. The watch rom version 1.3.2b.
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
It works fine for me. If you download official app from Google play, it will sync with Strava but activities only. Here on xda is workaround to install Chinese app, Mi Fit, connect each other and then update app from the Google play. Then you should have both, sync with Mi Fit and activities with Strava. Sync with Mi Fit doesn't work very well, but looks like that works ok after the latest firmware update. However, it's not syncing activities.

So right now is kind of mess, activities are synced with Strava, rest with Mi Fit. For US version Mi Fit is not officially supported anyway.

IMO, Huami should improve the app a lot or integrate all in one app or make easier to sync with 3rd party apps.
[Amazfit] [Jaco69]:
I actually am on 1.2.11c with unlocked bootloader and I am thinking to flash PACEfied ROM to maintain unlocked bootloader and have updated firmware. But I have not found the procedure to go back to my actual 1.2.11c, just in case...

Strange, mine doesn't work, i'm using the official Amazfit Watch app, latest version, and watch with the latest rom. It's says data is sync but not a single workout is showed on Strava.
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
Have you logged into Strava from the Amazfit app? I've figured out that Strava is not accepting some activities, like indoor run. Not sure, maybe accepting only GPS enabled activities, not good.
[Amazfit] soeiro:
Yes, i've used the Amazfit app and logged into Strava, then try to sync an outdoor run with GPS enable and no luck.
[Amazfit] Zeljko1234:
But you have activity in the watch? It's going to sound ridiculous, but maybe will sync eventually. Of course, you have to tap on activity sync, not one on top next to watch. Mess.
[Amazfit] soeiro:
Yes it's on the watch, i've tried both, the one at main page of the app, and the one on Activity Sync menu it says sync but no luck since Saturday. :eek:

For the record i've tried with an Android and iOS phones. None worked.
[Amazfit] Dosnowin:
Hi since January i read this forum and there is no solution. sorry

You can't. 1.2.13e has a locked bootloader.

Sorry but is not spam (learn what spam is). Actually your post can be considered as the spam (undesired messages).

Conversation about syncing, could be considered as off topic. But topic is about Amazfit, mainly about custom rom but talking about problems in general is ok. After all, sync problem could be related to the rom, app, Strava or all combination of that.

Mine is not vibrating by any kind of unlock :confused:

Hello all and first of all thank you Neuer_User you are the best! Yesterday installed rel9 (update from rel8) and so for every thing is ok. Normal battery consumption (1%/hr), no force closes.

But today went for a run and something strange occurred. The "pace" value as showing the correct value for my running speed but the distance and average pace were completely off. It was a know route and I know were the km are and the error keep growing. At the end the watch showed a total distance of 12.6km while the upload to Strava showed 13.8km, the normal distance of the route. In the beginning of the run I though that it might had changed to miles but the "convertion" is only 1.1.

Did anybody had this issue before? Thanks.

1.) Watch is still in Chinese, although installation worked perfectly

You need to set the language of the watch to English once with the following command:

adb shell setprop persist.sys.language en

adb reboot

....

3.) How can I switch to other languages?

Set the language of the watch with the following commands:

adb shell setprop persist.sys.language en

adb shell setprop persist.sys.country XX (where XX is 'IT', 'SK', 'PL', 'GB', 'US' etc)

adb reboot

Question for Senior members and experts:

I wanted to check if a new watch owner with 0.9.50 or 1.0.0a version get their hands on the update.zip file of the 1.0.2a release , can they just copy the file over to sdcard and boot into recovery to upgrade to 1.0.2a? Is it as simple as that? If not, can someone construct an upgrade procedure based on 1.0.2a update.zip?

If they can do that, once on 1.0.2a, the watch will update them to 1.2.6c (Rel 1 of Pacified) as the next update (see below upgrade path based on Huami version checks) . From their they can use the Pacefied release path to upgrade to latested Dev ROM with bootloader unlocked. The fact that Humai upgrades from 1.0.2a to 1.2.6c implies, it is full upgrade including firmware and other fixes (including touch screen freeze fix).
