[Amazfit] Gokoslp:

I also have same problem.
[Amazfit] flippy12:
Hi all,

I have the same problem of left margin when I flash the FR translated .fw file then the EN .res file

How did you decompile the .res file ?

When I launch the script res2img (res2img.py -u), I have an error in the predicate get_bmp, and so I just have a .raw file.
[Amazfit] flippy12:
The error I have is the following one:

convert -quiet -size 84x84+28 -depth 2 +antialias -compress NONE gray:_Mili_chaohu.res\000.raw +repage _Mili_chaohu.res\000.mpc

-> Paramètre non valide - -size

It seems that the script res2img.py is ok under unix/linux, but not under windows.
[Amazfit] tomurbanowicz:
I need oryginal FW 0.0.8.88.

In Mi Fit 3.0.6 is old FW 0.0.8.74.
[Amazfit] flippy12:
If it can help people who could have this error on windows: install ImageMagick for windows, and your windows will be able to unpack the images :good:
[Amazfit] RMac0001:
works like a hot damn. Thank you so much. Now if I could have my watchface only show 12 hour time format instead of 24 hour time format
[Amazfit] tomurbanowicz:
But unpacked images in Windows are in B&W.
[Amazfit] flippy12:
Unfortunately, yes [emoji22]

Under Windows ?

[Amazfit] pamposmouskos:
It works fine except special characters they show up as ?
[Amazfit] stuspick:
Anyone notice Gmail and calendar notifications show squares? All other apps are fine including Skype, Outlook and WhatsApp.
[Amazfit] Rarscaryfrosty:
For anyone not receiving notifications, I was able to fix it on my own. I disabled all permissions in my phone settings, and re-enabled them. I've had this issue even after 2 official firmware updates when the permissions get turned off even though they're clearly "on".

Before I tried reinstalling the app, unpairing and repairing the watch, etc. Nothing worked until I manually went into the phone settings>applications>permissions, and turned them off and back on.
[Amazfit] Lucien68700:

Does anyone know if there are any tutorials on how to do this? I'm a bit lost with the instructions on GitHub...
[Amazfit] Floating Point:
I'm tired of this piece of **** everytime self updating the firmware and changing the language back to chinese.

How can I lock this garbage to english only despite of my main language be portuguese? Setting the whole phone to english is not and option.
[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
On an android phone, follow this steps:

- put the phone in airplane mode

-activate Bluetooth

- install MakeCE res with Gadgetbridge

- install MekeCe fw with Gadgetbridge

- reset Bip

- put the phone in normal mod

- unpair Bip from MiFit, Gadgetbridge

- pair as new device

This is a downgrade, do at your own risk

Bip will be set on English also with official firmware

Just use it and it automatically switch to EN
[Amazfit] Floating Point:

Thank you, my bip now is bricked.

Amazfit Firmware from Russian to English

Hello there.

I am working in a RES that I have converted already into English.

This RES is great because it lets you display icons and activities in FULL SCREEN maximizing the screen of our watch.

However, this RES needs a specific Firmware (.FW) because the offset and coordinates have to be changed in the firmware for the RES to be displayed at full screen.

I have it in my watch installed and it is perfectly working changing completely the appearance of the watch to a great and unique design, but the firmware is in RUSSIAN.

I have tried to translate the firmware using the tools in this forum, but i am lost and I do not know what to do..... I am not a developer and it seems very complex to me.

If you can help me to understand how to translate ( for dummies) or you help me with the translation, I will appreciated and I will share the full RES and a manual for you to update it.

See attached a few pictures as well as the .FW that I need to translate. Any help will be highly appreciated.
[Amazfit] lemmon:

[Amazfit] gumb4ll:
Hi lemmon, it looks really interesting. Can you publish your source code?

and where can you find a manual how to translate everything yourself?

[Amazfit] Puntti:
Is there anyway some talented firmware maker/coder could make site with translation strings and make it possible bip fans to translate bip to their native language? as I know how to flash firmware, but got no clue how to make one, But I could translate bip ui from English to Finnish language.
[Amazfit] angel.tdw!:
buddy ,

successfully converted my chinese to english.....

check out my video [YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/GSPOljB2GRA[/YOUTUBE] on youtube that i created for the same.

with the help from a friend in a russian forum,

hope this video helps everyone. and do like the video ...and share..so that others can get helped..
[Amazfit] flotux:
Could you please translate the 8 steps from the YouTube video from Hindi to English and post it here. That would be great as I need to convert the AmazFit Hip of my brother who obviously ordered the Chinese version of the watch and not the international version.

Thanks
[Amazfit] flotux:
Thanks to my colleague from Aurangabad I can now provide the English translation for the needed steps to change the language from Chines to English:

Friends, In this video I have told how simply and with the easy steps we can convert our Amazfit Bip CHINESE version in to INTERNATIONAL (ENGLISH) version.

Amazfit Bip is one of the best budget smart watch and is available in 2 variants, CHINESE & INTERNATIONAL.

Out of the box both comes with CHINESE but once you sync with MIFIT App automatically the INTERNATIONAL version will be converted to ENGLISH.

To convert the CHINESE version we use one modified version of firmware which changes the HARDWARE ID of our watch for the INTERNATIONAL version.

Before following the steps kindly update your watch with the latest firmware version i.e. v1.1.5.04, for successful conversion process.

STEPS : (Valid for v1.1.5.04 ONLY)

1.*****Sync your watch with MIFIT App

2.*****In the MIFIT App set DISCOVERABLE to ON and UN-PAIR the watch

3.*****RESTART the Bip watch and Android Mobile

4.*****Download and extract the FILES from below mentioned LINK and then install the GADGET BRIDGE.apk in your Android Mobile

5.*****Switch on the AEROPLANE MODE, BLUETOOTH & LOCATION SERVICES in your Android Mobile and connect BIP watch to GADGET BRIDGE App. After connecting it, click on the 3 dots and check your “HW ID”.

If your HW ID is : v0.11.1.4 then select File: "Mili_chaohu_CE_1.fw" for doing an update.

If your HW ID is : v0.11.131.5 then select File: "Mili_chaohu_CE_131.fw"for doing an update.

1.*****Load your appropriate firmware file to Android Mobile and by using File Manager open it in "FW/App Installer". Once it opens then click on the Install button.*

2.*****Start your watch again and click on “FACTORY RESET”

3.*****In the GADGET BRIDGE DELETE the old paired watch and again RE-PAIR it. As soon as PAIR Process completes then your watch will be converted to INTERNATIONAL (ENGLISH) version.

NOTE:

FIRMWARE UPDATE is one of the RISKY process, If not properly done then it may cause damage to your watch. Me and My Channel is not responsible for the damaged watch.
[Amazfit] Miraculix666:
Hello, Out there.

Is there someone who can download the bip files from 4pda and myamazfit and upload them somewhere else? Especially the cn-ce files?

For me it is impossible due to limitations.

Thx!
[Amazfit] Pollocedrone:
Hi, i want to translate bip in other language...how can i open the .fw file? Where can i find a guide?
[Amazfit] Jevousza:
Thank you so much flotux and Aurangabad for this! Finally, after searching high and low for a solution to change my Amazfit bip Chinese version to international version I finally found it! It really didn't take that long and everything worked as described.

Just one update: After I did this I uninstalled Gadgetbridge and opened the Mi Fit app again. It immediately repaired my watch and updated it to the latest firmware (v.1.1.5.12) of the international version. Still all in English. So, if you were worried that repairing with Mi Fit will change it back to Chinese, you can safely go ahead and update the watch and it will stay English.

Any way to go back to Chinese firmware? my Bip now always update in French but I am in China and have lost all the Chinese characters!
[Amazfit] XM-SE-Kon:
Hi,

Can anyone help me to change my AMAZFIT BIT from Chinese to English?

I have tried different menthods using GB and 1.1.5.56 Latin Buidls, but watch screen is struck in "Connect to APP for update" even if it is connected to GB in background and I receive app updates but I cannot use the watch except from the screen "Connect to APP for Update"

And when I connect to MiFit then the watch is updated automatically to Chinese version and the watch will come back to life.

Anyone suceeded in making this work?
[Amazfit] DDTDDT:
Is it possible / recommended to downgrade the firmware?

Reason: 1.1.5.56 doesn't work well (see /r/AmazfitBip/comments/cl9rqs/activity_tracking_started_crashing_after_recent/ on reddit), with 1.1.5.36 everything was fine.
[Amazfit] Qidamin:
Would it be possible to extract fonts from the GTR/GTS models and flash them on the bip, as it seems to be the same OS? I still need the Chinese characters, but fonts in GTR/GTS have the accents we use in French language, so that accents would not be displayed as a square with a "?" inside.
[Amazfit] Smojo268:
Which files should be flashed?

On the Gadgetbridge git wiki (https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Amazfit-Bip-Firmware-Update) they talk about flashing Mili_chaohu.fw, Mili_chaohu.ft, Mili_chaohu.res, Mili_dth.gps.

I wanted to flash 1.1.5.36 to get German language support (äöü ...). As far as I understand this is included in Mi Fit v4 APK right.

If I download a v > 4 APK there no Mili_chaohu.* files anymore but a lot of other .fw and .res files. (chongqing, hankou, etc. ...)

Can someone tell me what I have to flash or at least the exact filenames?

Thanks in advance ;)
[Amazfit] ren_sk8er:
Off-topic

is it possible to add another app like AliPay, I need to display also my other QR Code.
[Amazfit] Christian - Cuba:
I have the same issues, if you resolved, please letme know
[Amazfit] Smojo268:
I faced the same behavior after flashing the fw file.

The wiki (https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Amazfit-Bip-Firmware-Update) says:

But what happened is that the screen (of the watch) stays at the "Connect to APP for update". I just ignored it and went on with the described flashing order (*.fw, *.ft, *.res, *.gps)

So opened each file in the file explorer (I use Amaze) on the phone and used "Open with ..." --> "Gadgetbridge FW/App Installer".

Finally the watch switched the screen back to the watchface which was configured. (it also took half a minute until "GPS successful updated" [not sure about the exact wording] was shown on the watch after the gps flash was shown as finished on the phone)
[Amazfit] Christian - Cuba:
That process work with Bip lite? A1915? HW: 0.31.133.7?
[Amazfit] Smojo268:
I have a "normal" Amazfit BIP (A1608 HW. V0.11.19.5). Not sure about the lite version. At least Gadgetbridge do mention the lite version and explicit points to the A1608 in the wiki. I would say the BIP lite is not supported.
[Amazfit] Bonegrindifier:
Thanks a lot to all of you! I followed this guide before, and although it didn't work, after downgrading the firmware to v.1.1.5.04 and retrying, it worked! I posted a clearer guide here to help other people find the right procedure to do this and clear the confusion. I just wish Amazfit weren't so boneheaded and allowed us to just pick the language we want so we don't have to go through this. I welcome any feedback! Hope this helps others.

[Amazfit] Pi3rluigi:
I want to give my little contribution.

If you got a Xiaomi device, you can install Gadgebridge on the second space, so you don't have to install and remove every new update is released.

You can simply update your already translated fw with new version translated.

Gadgetbridge FW/App installer - Install button missing

After opening the .res or .fw file with FW/App Installer there is no install button on the bottom as it is shown on screen shots here.

I've tried several .rs and .fw files, from mauronofrio the 0.0.8.88 version and as well some from another source with 0.0.8.98 version.

So I can't proceed with installation. Do I something wrong? Someone an idea why the install button is not shown there?

Amazfit Bip A1608

FW: 0.0.8.98

HW: V0.11.1.4

Gadgetbridge: 0.21.1

Issue with Install button is solved, the display is too small and the button is not visible, after changing the font to "small" and switch on slide function for bottom android buttons so the android buttons could be hidden and the Install button appeared :)
