Actually it's a common misconception that software cannot physically harm hardware. It's actually very easy to overload hardware and especially with such delicate hardware like we have nowadays. It is because hardware differs from production issues or perhaps by design, that designers build software safe guards to protect the hardware...

For example, if you run a device at maximum power for too long, it should automatically step down to prevent overheating. If it can't for some reason, the cpu can and will burn out, memory chips could lose cells, or the casing will bend out of shape, or perhaps the battery even explode... These examples have all been in the news and thousands of people are a small percentage of total sales, but still a lot of people

The example which I believe js pertinent in this case is related to the sensitivity of lithium. The batteries are by nature unstable and a software function can very easily 'forget' to switch off and permanently damage cells due to overload. Regardless of whether a new firmware fixes the function, the damage is already done....

Oh, by the way, a stable OTA was released yesterday (or was at least found by my watch): 1.1.13i

So it seems Huami are not very eager to release stable software as frequent as before. It's been quite a while since the last OTA update and the version number is nowhere near the development Rom version. Also the health centre bug is still not fixed, it still crashes when opening due to lack of language defaults other than Chinese. Will very likely not be fixed for a long time too until both US and China firmwares are merged, which is probably still months away

This could be due to a high return rate of broken watches due to unsupervised usage of developmental roms as a base for firmware releases, effectively costing them money
[Amazfit] alexinc:
Seriously!? They are releasing dev rom updates to the public and i don't know of any "developmental rom" that changes anything else but language files, so i highly doubt what you're saying! There is only one reason i would understand: Not wanting to support any "rom crashes" that are results of missing translation strings, but that's not doing harm to hardware side of the watch. More likely they are still trying to follow their

strategy to seperate US-based and China-based customers for financial reasons of course!

Himalaya Radio should be the same internet radio provider Xiaomi uses for the Miradio and the home gateway.

In theory it could be made to receive customized radio stations by hijacking an entry in the hosts file and using a service like ximiraga.ru (can't post links, look it up by yourself lol)

That being said, I have barely updated the app (and yes, it restarts when selecting Ximalaya sound) and have not updated the watch yet, so i might as well be completely off track.

you can download the 0.9.5 ROM, but don't forgive that you then will be prompted to update to latest release and that will lock bootloader.

No more chance to install PACEfied or convert to Pace, for now

One question though: I didn't install update 1.2.15d yet and 'jumped' to update 1.2.16. I tried to install it, but I got an error message just at the end of the process. This happened twice, so I decided to install the 'skipped' update (1.2.15d) first. That went smoothly. After that I installed the latest version without any problems. Is this normal? Isn't it possible to skip an update and just install the latest update?

Hi i've Chinese version pacefied at 1.2.11

Actually my watch and the app is asking for an update at 1.2.11c (with chinese words after), i don't want to lose my datas so can i update directly in OTA or it's better to use the permanent install (actually 1.2.16)

thanks
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
If you are on temporary,you can update to stock 1.2.11c and then go to PACEfied 1.2.16 without loosing your data.

Otherwise if you're on permanent, you have to install PACEfied update.

Pay attention: don't update to stock 1.2.13 or later, it will lock bootloader! In that case you will not be able to install PACEfied Ron.

Hello!

hello!

i have just stumbled upon this forum. great discussions you have here!!

I have a Chinese Amazfit for a while now. Used ADB to translate to english. Works great, I love the watch.

Today was the first time I used the watch for running (I usually use my Suunto Sports watch) and noticed that when I end the workout the sports app crashes; "Unfortunately, sports has crashed".

Does someone else have the same problem? I've seen there were some fixes but as I am running 1.2.13i I cannot use PACEified.

I rather not experiment because I don't want to risk breaking other stuff. But if someone encountered the same problem and found a way to fix it I'd be happy to hear about it ;)

Another question; could I update to 1.2.16 dev?

Thanks,

Tobi

1immortal, I understand your point and I actually also follow the development track.

However many people I guess (including me) will be interested in the stable releases as well.

So my question is if there is a technical problem making PACEfied based on the Chinese stable releases

as well as on the development releases?

(Apart of the limited work resources of course )

I have just received the english amazfit: model A1612, firmware 1.3.0n

So I am lucky, it is not locked by the latest version.

Looking at this great forum and contributors, I would like to install the latest pacefied (seems to be 1.2.16). I went through a lot of posts but I have still some doubts, can anybody help please?

-Can I just follow the instructions of the first post to install this release 1.2.16 directly or do I need to install older intermediate releases , then the next one, till I reach 1.2.16?

-Is it possible after having pacified the watch to go back to stock version later? I did not find any link to install stock releases or any procedure to roll back. Maybe there is a backup procedure to be done before upgrading to pacefied?

-For release 1.12.16, it is the permanent solution, the temporary one is not available, is this correct?

-and last one, is 1.12.16 install the best choice today compared to 1.3.2b and later?

Thank you!

Yeah, it's similar with xiaomi's rom development for their phone. They always have 4 kind of rom, they call it:

1. Chinese development rom. This rom get updated most frequent (likely every week) and always get new features first. It's have native root where you can enter root mode as easy as change permission. But this rom doesn't have any google app pre-installed.

2. Global development rom. This is second row to get new feature. Like the chinese dev rom, it get updated weekly but behind chinese dev rom. Also has native root but with google pre-installed. This rom has less bug

3. Chinese stable rom. With no native root and google pre-installed. Almost no bug but updated rarely (once every 1 or 2 month).

4. Global stable rom. This is the most stable rom but the most rarely get update. With Google pre-installed and no native root.

In both dev and global rom, chinese rom always gets ahead of nicest feature.
