[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] am-imate:
This is getting absolutely ridiculous. Not only do we have the good old Trade War between the US & China at a high level with both sides rattling their sabres. Now it seems our forgotten M5 SHT-W09 will be even MORE forgotten. I absolutely love my M5 and there's really nothing else out there that I can find that compares to it. I'm furious that Huawei has not released any updates beyond 8.0.0.196 for the M5 SHT-W09. Most begrudgingly I'll probably have to go with an iPad Mini very soon since the SHT-W09 seems to be abandoned, which doesn't make me happy.

Seriously Huawei?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Volumetrik:
OK your HiSuite has been updated, however what about your M5: still in EMUI 8.0 or updated to 9.x (Pie) [emoji848] ?

Which model (exactly) you have?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] arzbro:
My M5 Pro LTE has been updated through OTA, without hisuite.

I just checked for a new system version and now, I have Emui 9 installed
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Volumetrik:
CMR-AL19C432 / France?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] arzbro:
Yes
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Volumetrik:
Don't understand why this update is "leaked" for some people only...? (Same model / country)

Any idea?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] everalm:
Staging similar to this is quite usual for a number of manufacturers where the updates are cascaded out in batches via IMEI number.

The problem is that Huawei is so damn slow about it as a manufacturer as opposed to the likes of Samsung etc where the cascades are usually by country and usually over a relatively short period of time.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] lightingcloud:
maybe time of first boot? since I bought mine two weeks ago I'm not really in the first wave of updates?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] shneider:
Hi guys, im sad. Yesterday update app on my SHT-AL09 (Mediapad M5 8.4 LTE) show 9.0.1.161 3.5GB but after pressing update button popup some error with "unauthorized key" and nothing else happens. Still have 8.0.0.196(C432), System is stock, no root, no unlock bootloader etc. HiSuite not help.

Update: Force update not work. download latest update.zip form hicloud.com:8180> extract to folder dload on sdcard -> dial and call to -> *#*#2846579#*#* -> software upgrade -> sdcard upgrade -> processing and automatic reboot.

But at the end, only i have "Software install failed" :(

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] lightingcloud:
Still no update-love for my SHT-AL09 here in Italy. Tried everything (cache reset for update app, hicare, hisuite) but nothing. I found an update.zip online but I'm not unlocked so I don't know if that would work. Also, I'm not really sure if the one providing it can be trusted... sigh.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] gulfand:
Hello, I cannot see updates on my cmr-al09 8.0.0.195 C440, I am in UK. Due maybe being locked to EE? What should I try to get the emui 9? Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] everalm:
UK owned M5 10, model CMR-AL19 (C432) just got the update alert and am currently downloading

Update CMR-AL19 0.0.1.161 (C432E3R1P3)

Size is 3.95 GB

I also have an ex EE 32GB model, unlocked from the EE network last week, will check when I get home if this has also been added to the update list
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] everalm:
Install went well, then immediately afterwards another update to take me to version 9.0.1.182 Security patch 01 April 2019
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
Could you check did they fix 5GHz WiFi?

Actually, I would like to not update at all. It's working fine as is. Don't fix it if it's not broken.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
If you have a look at the changelog the releases which contain the May security patches contain a fix related to WiFi, too.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] everalm:
Fired up my mobile as a 5Ghz wireless hot spot, M5 connected without issue and I could browse so, looks good,
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Zeljko1234:
It was issue with higher channels. Could you try them as well?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] lightingcloud:
SHT-AL09 updated here in Italy! And twice in a row, a 3.5GB one and a 250MB one. I hate the position of the wifi icon, but oh well. I hope they soon improve how the "night display" (or whatever it's called in english) is improved with automated time according to dusk and dawn...
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] 4tune:
Yep, finally AL09 in Holland as well
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sean09:
Can anyone confirm the update for the USA SHT-W09 (C567) 8.4' tablet? Mine has not yet received the update.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] gulfand:
Is it your CMR-AL09? I'm in UK, C440 version 8.0.0.195, no updates yet, with November 2018 seciruty patch and Android 8....maybe because EE is not releasing updates for my device? Not sure how it works, just unlocked today from EE though
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] StephenMSmith:
Nobody in the US has received the pie update yet. Very frustrating and hoping it's still on way despite the political crap.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] gulfand:
Was the update available for your ex EE 32GB too? Not sure if it's the same as my CMR-AL09 C440, now I unlocked it from EE, no updates available.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] everalm:
So far no joy.

I will be beating up tech support at EE later as, for reasons that have no sense, EE have disabled the phone functionality on the tablet even after it was unlocked and it has a voice SIM on board.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] 4tune:
Indeed mine is a CMR-AL09
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] yumms:
So I have SHT-W09 (C567), however, in firmware finder, I am getting the firmware SHT-LGRP3-OVS 9.0.1.188 is approved for installation for my device.

Is anyone else seeing this?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] AndDiSa:
I have SHT-W09 (C437) and for me it's the same (I got 9.0.1.188 over the air two days ago). I think Huawei changed the kind they are building and providing firmwares as I saw the model name SHT-AL09 within the install scripts, too. So it's a package which can be used for several models I suppose.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] LMMT:
Did you install it?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] yumms:
In order to update with firmware finder, ability to change DNS in the router is required....I do not have access to change the DNS (cannot be done for my ISP).

And the update is not live for me via the Huawei system updater, so until Huawei pushes the update, I'm not able install it.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] LMMT:
Interesting. I installed the Firmware Finder app, and I was able to download that particular firmware. I haven't tried to install it yet, though, maybe later, or tomorrow.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] jimmy2823:
I'm in the USA and have a M5 model CMR-W09, it gives a few options to download from the Firmware finder app but I'm not sure which one to download. Has anyone updated thier tablet this way?
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] reubenray:
I have not seen an update to Pie yet for my CMR-W09 (C567) yet. What version do you have?

I have accepted that I will never get this update due to the conflict between the US and Hauwei.
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
Anyone able to get the TICWATCH PRO 4G Chinese version into English with google support? The Ticwatch Pro ROM flash apparently does not work with the 4G hardware. I could do with out the eSIM funtion but would like a watch that is usable. Any Ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
Heard from Mobvoi.

"Currently the engineering team is working on the ticwatch pro 4G international version. They haven't inform us when it will be released and when will the Chinese version of ticwatch pro 4G be able to flash to an international version. Thank you so much for your understanding"
[Other SmartWatches] galaxys:
That would be awesome! ?
[Other SmartWatches] tedlin:
I just ordered one from eBay canada

There seems to be a sales by MobVoi on 3/8 in China on TicWatch Pro 4G so the volume should go up. It is also now sold through Xaimi and should further make it more popular.

As said, I bid on Pro 4G and will receive one from a Chinese eBayer. Will post more when I receive it (5 to 8 days shipping). I hope to use the eSim as well.
[Other SmartWatches] tedlin:
I received the TicWatch Pro 4G this afternoon. As there is no International ROM for this yet, I checked the forum and found the instruction of updating the Chinese ROM into international version. After several hours of TWRP flashing, disabled the Chinese WearOS store and install the regular WearOS, it is now running properly with all function active. Google map shows pretty fast GPS signal, and the compass seems to be sensitive as well.

I will call T-Mobile when I have some time to see whether I can activate this eSim. I did find the IMEI (no EICC or UID, yet) , so it should not be a problem. TM has the DIGITS subscription for shared number phone/message/data for $15 with $5 discount for group plan. Hope it will work, and that will be handy.
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
eSIM would be nice, but the Chinese tic watch as is is unusable, no Google services, while the is a Chinese version of the wear os app... It must be side loaded. No ok Google, no maps, no Gmail, lots of useless Chinese apps everything in Chinese.

Anyone know if it is possible to flash part of the ROM to get language support and basic Google services?
[Other SmartWatches] tedlin:
Below is what I received from Mobvoi:

==========================

Mar 15, 01:10 CST

Dear customer.

Thank you for reaching out to the Mobvoi support team!

Ticwatch Pro 4G is designed to be used in China mainland. And it can only support Chinese（language.)It can't support to be switched into any other language.

Which website did you buy the watch please ?

Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Ticwatch team.

==========================

I have basically followed the instruction of how to convert a TWP Chinese ROM into global WearOS, and fix the input language issue (just had to sideload English GBoard). Not sure about the g-ok yet. There is no NFC or google fit issue at all. With all connection active (BT,Wifi, cellular) and always on display turn off, it still had 86% after about 12 hours, so not too bad. TM has activate the eSim EID, I will you know about the compatibility as the connection/cellular still say not activated...need to activate it through some Tic app. Will post the result once I find more time on this side project.
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
So you have already received your watch and flashed it? What method? The only thread on flashing here in xda for the non 4g model and members write the the rom is not compatible with the 4g model due to different hardware. That is why I created THIS thread separate from the 93 plus pages of issues with the regular tic watch pro. Please post your flashing method and resources. Would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] tedlin:
I spent almost an hour on the phone with TM, and concluded that an app is needed to activate the eSim even after TM has successfully activated EID and verified the paired # working. I guess I will wait when there is more time to investigate this.

Here is the process that I have done to convert TWP 4G into Google Wear OS (based on collected info from a few sites):

0) boot into Recovery with modification mode using TWP twrp-3.2.3-catfish.img

1) rename/mv these Chinese WearOS stuffs to something else (so you can recover back to Chinese WearOS easily without flashing the whole ROM)

file: /system/etc/sysconfig/cn_google_features.xml

directory: /sysyem/priv-app/PrebuiltWearskyHeadless

2) get the Google Play store PrebuiltWearsky.zip ZIP from http://drive.google.com/open?id=10hRF0uU8zqA2c-GIG1xzOV-Hdf68hdnE

Unzip files/directories to system/priv-app/PrebuiltWearsky by keeping the directory pattern.

3) Sideload the Google English keyboard (GBoard_xxxxx.apk) so you have the option to switch to English keyboard. Sideload other language keyboards if preferred (adb install Gboardxxxxx.apk). Anyone can suggest how to swap out the Chinese voice assist to English will be great.

4) Factory reset and pair with Google Wear OS. The difference with Chinese Wear OS and Google WOS is there is additional "Google Wear OS" at the lower portion of the main screen.

Won't be able to do much as works are piling...have fun if you have a TWP 4g.
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
Great! Thanks for the info. Will try it.
[Other SmartWatches] atbasar:
Hi at all,

I have a Chinese Ticwatch Pro 4g and I was so stupid to flash the international rom from Janjan.

Now I'm back at stock rom Chinese, but with the wrong one. I can't see no esim. Is it possible to react, or has anybody a backup for me?

Thanks
[Other SmartWatches] tedlin:
This is from my TWP 4G when I received it, after TWRP 3.x.x

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XIrxFcSKeSCKRYHCU5jFUQD-gFb_5qwb/view?ts=5c90f4b5

Worked for me. Google Pay set up easily and tested it today at a restaurant in Buenos Aires (a new for me and for them)

I had some flashing, watchface only, issues that went away after a couple factory resets.

be sure to reboot into bootloader from TWRP and not system ... in bootloader

fastboot oem lock

Thanks again to TEDLIN

Any ideas on GA? gboard can be found where? THJANKS
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
I have the original ROM, only modified the PrebuiltWearskyHeadless (removed as well as cn_google_features.xml file) have the eUICC assistant app still but all in chinese.
[Other SmartWatches] leon_sam:
Thank you so much for the details. It really helps

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:00 PM ----------

Thank you so much to share the step.

Would you mind to share a copy of the Google English keyboard apk, please? I am looking for it on google but could not find a proper one.

Thank you again.
[Other SmartWatches] tedlin:
If you visit this page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gboard

It will point to you WearOS keyboard:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/gboard-the-google-keyboard-android-wear

You can also extract the WearKeyobar app in \system\app of the TWP Bluetooth and load it into 4G version, so it will boot up with English keyboard option (removethe ..\app\WearPinyinKeyboard if you don't need it)

I have received TMobile confirmation that current TM has no tool to activate eSim, and they are considering WearOS app.

Also, I am not sure whether I have time to mess around with 4G watch, and possibly just restore the Chinese ROM and put it on eBay or Amazon and go back to my heavy-duty CASIO Protrek. So far, I am happy with it only has to be charged every 2 to 3 days on regular usage.

Good luck with your venture of TWP 4G.
[Other SmartWatches] simonsmh:
Hey does that still works for Wear OS H? I tried on my C2 and it still could not be paired with Google play version of Wear OS app, pretty weird. Should I still use the Chinese version of wear os app?
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
UPDATE:

Screen blinking. Not sure what is going on. Watch is fine for a while... but not a day goes by when the screen oes not start to blink and here is no access to setting or anything except assistant. have to hard bootloader reset after that.

Any ideas?
[Other SmartWatches] leon_sam:
I have the same problem here. I guess it may be caused by the system updating. I will do the factory reset and try again.
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
I have done many factory resets and always the blinking. Only today noticed "system update downloading" after long download I got "update failure" it tried again but I got the blinking again. will revert to the original chinese rom and try to update there and than add prebuiltwearsky.
[Other SmartWatches] Cidious:
How about just english language support? I'm living in China and don't need any Google stuff. Just solid WeChat support and Chinese eSim. Pro 4G
[Other SmartWatches] leon_sam:
After couple hours of factory reset and retry. I think the blink problem is caused by the auto-updating from TicStore. I found a way to get around it. It's tricky but it works. My step is below:

0. Follow the steps from tedlin to get the english version wear os and play store.

1. Factory reset

2. Pair with your phone

3. After paired with the phone, go to TicStore->Account->My Apps->Updates and then stop all updates. PS: you need to click the watch quickly before the updating complete. This step is the tricky one.

4. Goto TicStore ->Account->Auto-Update->select never

5. Goto Play store and updating the apps.

After these steps, my watch is working as usual without any blink.

Cons:

1. you will see the TicStore will keep sending the notification for updating apps

2. Google fit cannot sync the fitness data with TicHealth. Someone said I need to put files from TicWatch Pro international version in "/system/priv-app/TicCompanionWear" into TicWatch Pro 4G.

This will fix the issue of fitness data sync. I don't have the file and I am asking for help in another thread as well. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79309062&postcount=1462

Hope someone can share the files and I can test it again.

PS: I think the really issue is caused by the Wear OS update in TicStore. As my understanding, the updating is for Wear OS Chinese version and in Play Store the Wear OS updating is for international version so after the watch update the os in Play store and TicStore. The OS of the watch messed up. Thats just my guess.

---------- Post added at 06:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

I don't think this can be achieved. As my understanding Wear OS from Google have two versions. One is only for Chinese Market call Wear OS China, another is the normal one I call "international version". The Wear OS China only supports the Chinese language right now unless you can find an English language package for it.
[Other SmartWatches] Cidious:
Thanks for the response. It is a pretty big miss from Mobvoi to not just simply include English in the Chinese variant.. I can live with the Chinese apps and without Google.. but not without English language.. it's nice of them to assume everyone inside china reads Chinese.. I'll send Mobvoi a message. See if they have got anything planned to solve this ..
[Other SmartWatches] tedlin:
Here is the TicCompanionWear.zip (pull from the ROM from other TWP thread) that I used. This version will work with the TicHealth app update from Google Play. Push it into /system/priv-app or install it. You will need Mobvoi app on phone to work with it.

You can also just install Google Fit on watch and it will work with Phone's Fit, but Fit is pretty stupid as it won't do background HR read, so either you use TicPulse 24-hr or use other HR app on watch/phone. I found TicPulse works well, just drain battery a little more when 24-hr read is on.

AFA the blinking, I also noticed about that. The trick I did was this: in Setting/Storage, disable TicStore (and all apps that you don't want).

Hope these fixes will work with the next Wear OS.
[Other SmartWatches] leon_sam:
Thank you for your sharing. I will give it a try. Much appreciate.
[Other SmartWatches] Cidious:
I got the International Variant running... but it just won't copy my google account! I tried all the clear data options on phone and wifi on off, reinstall wear etc etc etc.. it won't copy google account..

So practically it's useless..

All I want is the Chinese variant with English language.... I have no idea why Mobvoi was too ignorant to include this... I send them an email but probably I won't get any respons.

Also the android is on 8.0.0 I see JanJan's versions is on Pie already. Anything we can do with that?

EDIT:

Got a response from Mobvoi stating that it's google that is limiting them to not include English in the Chinese variant. Which obviously is a big bull**** excuse for their lack of development skills since Huawei has this perfectly covered with changing the language according to the used Language in the Wear OS phone app.... It just feels they were cutting corners and saving some budget here and there...

Where are the system language files located? any chance of injecting them in the Chinese version?
[Other SmartWatches] Cidious:
My watch keeps blinking now. I can't even do factory reset.. and ADB is not enabled now... How to factory reset?
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
Is the TicCompanionWear the TicHealth App? On the WaTCH IS TicCompanionWear_le ... .a light version not compatible with google fit? I have removed a lot of the Mob Tic apps including TicPayments and TicStore ... goodbye good riddance. I TWRP hard installed maps/keyboard/google/keep/and fit into the SYSTEM so that they are there after factory reset,... all is well ... google and OK google are working ....swipe right goes to Google Assistant. I left TicHealth ( though I would rather completly replace it with Google Fit for left swipe. ) Anyway.... all fine ... except ..... if I want Google Pay to work (my reason for buying the watch) I have to relock (fastboot oem lock) the bootloader. this forces a factory reset and after that ... despite having in some cases, disabling TicStore, or completly removing the App from /system ..... the blinking returns. Only solution I have found so far is leaving the bootloader unlocked. Testing now to see if it is a bootloader issue or if it is Google Pay starting the blinking. I now have bootloader locked but have not set up GooglePay. Will report.

Thanks guy for all the input.
[Other SmartWatches] gadfly:
you need to manually enter the bootloader (press and hold both buttons till bootloader screen. you can then re-enter TWRP and factory reset or simply lock or unlock the bootloader (fastboot oem lock) or possible try fastboot erase userdata / fastboot reboot
[Other SmartWatches] leon_sam:
As I know Wear OS China and Wear OS are different two versions of Wear OS. Including English language shouldn't be a problem I think there may have some limitation from Google.

If you hold two buttons for couple seconds untill the bootloader loaded, you can use "fastboot boot twrp-xxx-xxx.img" to load the twrp, then you can do the factory reset and reboot the watch.

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

You have very sound progress with the OS. I am looking forward to your final test and steps for everything. Well done :good:
[Other SmartWatches] spammepk:
