Hi Guys

Just sharing what I learned after quite a bit of googling about the Hear Rate not measured in Mi Band 2. I bought a Mi Band 2 mid of last year and everything worked fine.

However towards end of last year the Heart rate measurement showed a --X with a vibration indicating it couldn't measure it.I initially blamed the Chinese build quality and presumed the band was dying. But I discovered that the green lights underneath was working when Heart rate measurement was selected which got me thinking and hypothesized that this started happening after a firmware update that is automatically done by the app when the app itself is updated in Playstore. I read through MIUI forums where everyone said it was impossible to downgrade the firmware. Little bit more search showed that Gadgetbridge app makes it possible to downgrade the firmware and I can confirm that heart rate measurement is working again as of today morning.Below are the steps to do so with links which can be found at https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Mi-Band-Firmware-Update

DISCLAIMER

Given that maybe nothing will happen to your warranty or there are small chances that your device might get bricked, I feel the need to say that I am not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions. Any modification that you do to your band you're doing at your OWN RISK.

1. Download Gadgetbridge app from: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=nodomain.freeyourgadget.gadgetbridge and read the wiki for MiBand2: https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Mi-Band-Firmware-Update. Before installing the app unpair the band from Mi Fit app and any others. Then install the app and make sure the band is detected and shown as connected in Gadgetbridge.

2. We need a Firmware that has to be extracted from an older Mi Fit app apk from apk mirror. Download both the 'Mili_pro_53.fw' and 'Mili_pro 2.2.1.fw' files from https://depositfiles.com/files/gu58npyqf and https://depositfiles.com/files/jmh3a1tn1 and place it your phone. Download MiFit apk from https://depositfiles.com/files/n4az7dyzs,but don't install it yet.

3. Use a File explorer like ES Fileexplorer and open 'Mili_pro_53.fw' that was downloaded earlier. This file will now be opened in Gadgetbridge app and firmware updated.

4. After Firmware update, open Gadgetbridge and ensure the band is shown there and connected. If not delete the band by long pressing and search again.

5.Now in a File explorer like ES File explorer and open 'Mili_pro 2.2.1.fw' that was downloaded earlier. This file will now be opened in Gadgetbridge app and firmware updated.

6. Check for the Heart rate measurement and it should be working. Time will be synced when the band is connected to app.

7. Delete the band from Gadgetbridge app.

8. Install the MiFit apk downloaded earlier and add the band.Now everything should be working fine.

9.If you update the Mi Fit app, it will update the firmware automatically so make sure auto-update is not on.

PS: After this the band aut updated the firmware to V1.0.0.44 by itself but the HR is working fine.

Hope this helps.

Rambo you are a life saver bro. I'd just bought myself a mi band 2 in Jan. The firmware got updated and the HRM went kaput. Your article saved my band. I downgraded my firmware and now the HRM works fine. Gr8 job bro.
[General Accessories] Dadivx:
EDIT: hopefully, it wasn't bricked, after some hours it came back to life and has been working fine, only thing is that this old firmware has fewer features. I'll leave my original post just in case someone else thinks the band is dead after following the instructions.

Hi,

I know you said you take no responsibility for any damage to the device, so I'm not blaming you, but just for other people trying to downgrade the FW: beware, because I think I have just bricked my band. I have followed the instructions exactly as you mentioned. My band was on maybe the latest firmware (1.0.1.XX, sorry, I don't remember the exact version) and although the steps count and HR were working, the calories count wasn't (it was way too off). So I tried to downgrade the FW as I read somewhere else that one of the previous fw was working fine. This is what I did:

1. I downloaded latest Gadgetbridge APK

2. I also downloaded both FW from the links above.

3. The band was working fine on the Gadgetbridge app.

4. I installed the FW (Mili_pro_53.fw) despite the app said it wasn't proved to be compatible.

5. Band got disconnected but re-connected again, apparently everything was working.,

6. Then I installed the other file: Mili_pro 2.2.1.fw. The app said it was the 1.0.0.39 (which I believe is the right one where everything works fine)

7. FW Installed successfully, then it disconnects.

8. The app tries to find the device, no success... the band is still working, I can see time, steps, HR (but not working BTW...)

9.And while trying to read HR the band is gone, screen off, no response to button press, not even battery charging icon when plugged to USB, and obviously not found by either gadgetbridge or mi Fit app.

EDIT: 10.

The band wasn't broken

, it just froze for a while but came back after some time.

Is the firmware upgrade (downgrade) factory resets the mi band 2? I mean it could fix the "band is paired with another person...." kind a bug when you cant use to mifit app?
[General Accessories] EL79:
no downgrade/upgrade will not reset mi band 2 simply cause it tied to xiaomi servers, only they can reset it and i already asked and they won't do it, bought it second hand and despite the other guy said that he removed it from his account it is still tied to his account, he just did a review and wanted to get rid of it, nevermind that, even if you can't use mi fit there is a perfect alternative trough which btw you can upgrade/downgrade your unpairable with official app, it's called Notification and Fitness for Mi Band, free version has pretty much all options you will ever need
[General Accessories] mqmq0:
I'm not missing the MiFit app, considering its collecting data for the xiaomi. I'm using the Notify app already, which is works fine. However I would like to try the MiBand Tools, which requires the MiFit app.

The only problem with the Notify I have, its constantly reminds me that I have an old firmware which I cannot update without the MiFit app. Until now. There is a list with the aviable firmware versions? Or how do I find the most recent?
[General Accessories] EL79:
latest one is 1.0.0.55 but i wouldn't recommend it, if you care about heart beat sensor, which is not working in this version

in 1.0.0.53 it's working just fine
[General Accessories] hoangtumodel:
Hi. Mine is fine after following Rambo29's direction. But I don't know how to disable auto-update in Mi Fit on iOS. After I downgraded to 1.0.0.39 by Android device, I connected my band on iPhone then it auto-updated to 1.0.0.53. But Heart rate still is okay. I wonder it will be updated to newest version or not ? Btw, thank you RAMBO29 a lot :)
[General Accessories] EL79:
I got the other problem now, after flashing back and forth i only have steps and HR sensor on display, enabling/disabling these options makes no difference, i even tried, draining the battery and flashing very old fw like 0.0.0.89, no dice

band does work properly otherwise
[General Accessories] GuestK00316:
Ordered mine band last week and should arrive next week. hopefully it will work ok, otherwise i will follow your guide! thanks [MENTION=395502]RAMBO29[/MENTION]
[General Accessories] RAMBO29:
Very strange assuming the files are right ones. Try updating to latest version in phone and let it auto update and see if the HR measurement comes back.
[General Accessories] trantiendat3004:
delete
[General Accessories] EL79:
well that's gonna be a problem, i can't use official mi fit app because i have this paired with another user problem, i updated to. 55 where sensor doesn't work and currently on. 53 where it does and as far as i know only official app can auto-update your band
[General Accessories] RAMBO29:
In the MiFit app,profile->Mi band display settings you have chosen HR,right?If it's unticked here it wont show on app.
[General Accessories] EL79:
like i said can't use official mi fit app due to paired with another user problem, i use notify and fitness app which has this option as well and with new fw 1.0.1.34 i can toggle all options on and off except for distance and calories, they won't show up at all, this could be due to app itself or fw, i don't really know
[General Accessories] pasemes:
Thanks, thanks, thanks! Thank you! Worked flawlessly!
[General Accessories] ashu258:
Everything worked fine bro, now caller name is not displayed now. Sms sender name also not displayed. Currently i am on 1.0.0.39. if anyone has solution to caller name without bricking hrm , please share here. Thanks again
[General Accessories] EM1077:
Just ordered one, hope it works ok. Thanks for the share.
[General Accessories] aryayush:
The heart rate sensor on my brand new Mi Band 2 simply would not work, so I was following the instructions on this thread to downgrade its firmware in order to fix it. I unpaired the band from Mi Fit, uninstalled it, installed Gadgetbridge and flashed “Mili_pro_53.fw” to get it onto the older firmware. This went smoothly—the HR sensor was now working fine and the band was connected to Gadgetbridge. I should have stopped there.

However, the instructions said that I should flash “Mili_pro 2.2.1.fw” next, so that is what I did. After the firmware installation, the band and its HR sensor are still working fine, but it is showing up in Gadgetbridge as “not connected”. It is also showing up in the Bluetooth settings screen as unpaired.

I have tried tapping on it in Gadgetbridge to get it to connect, re-pairing and deleting it, but none of it has worked. Uninstalling Gadgetbridge and installing Mi Fit 2.2.1 and trying to pair it with it is also failing. The band simply won’t vibrate when on the pairing screen. I’ve uninstalled Mi Fit and reinstalled Gadgetbridge and it still says the band is not connected.

Is there any way for me to get out of this mess? If I could just get the Mi Band 2 to fully disconnect from my phone and pair it with it again, it should work, but how do I go about achieving that? Please help.
[General Accessories] acetrip:
green lights are off, worth a try ?

any point in trying if the green lights at the back are not turning on when I press the heart rate check button on the band ?
[General Accessories] JensDev:
Stuck on firmware update?

I get stuck on trying to install the Mili_pro_53.fw' and 'Mili_pro 2.2.1.fw' files.

After while when trying to install the band suddenly stops being connected and so the installation is interupted. Fix??
[General Accessories] 100pies:
same here updating stops.........
[General Accessories] gewkim:
I just got mine , and i was stupid(?) enough to install latest mi fit app. The app upgraded the firmware and i lost pulse readings. I've tried everything to downgrade from 1.0.1.69 but with no success. No gadgetbridge ( gives problem with the firmware metadata transfer) or Notify & fitness (stops at ~5%) will work, I tried multiple other firmwares. Is this a joke Xiaomi?
[General Accessories] Sodepallu:
Bricked

I followed the same steps mentioned but my mi band2

Was bricked neither switching on nor charging

Is there any way to get the band to working state other than contacting service center???!!!!!!
[General Accessories] alphazzz:
Does anyone know there is a way to solve this problem? The bracelet and the test notice that it is not always a reading, the thought that the woman did for you, but by the way it can be one of mine also, because when it is for the pulse, it reads better.
[General Accessories] Esemtix:
Hi there

My stock LeEco Charger gives me the time to fully charge from zero to be between 1:20 - 1:40.

It is as promised, roughly 1%/minute on fast charging 3.0 for a 4k mAH battery.

Dash charge keeps the phone and battery cool. That's a plus
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joms_US:
The last time I checked, it was around 2 hours to get to 100%.

Does it vary depending on the loads attached to the power source(extension cord)? There was a full desktop computer and monitor and maybe another charging phone when I charged and monitor the Le Pro 3.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Valinos:
I use the stock charger but not the stock power cord.

Also mine gets a little hot during the charging, i dont know if i am the only one with this problem but i am a little anxious about this, should i use another charger? Is this problem going to affect my battery in long term? Let me know if you have some answers.Thanks.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joms_US:
Mine doesn't feel hot at all, just normal warmth. I sometimes use my Nexus 5X charger. Use default charger for now and see if it still feels hot.

I had a Nexus 5x and I agree for whatever reason the 808 seems like a slouch. I think 2015 was just a bad year overall for Qualcomm, the 810 overheated a lot and the 808 was a downgrade in performance from even the 805.

You can change it under Settings -> Sound -> Vibration Strength.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

Or open rom zip cut and paste your files close and flash.Nandroid restore if a problem .
