greetings, @Actrapit

Could you make a video tutorial in Spanish, step by step on how to change the lokmatp appllp max S999 ROM and how to root it?

I am willing to pay for this, but please make it a good video tutorial, where everything is explained clearly and in detail please
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Hi,

i do not earn money with stuff like that and I do not want to do it.

Everything is explained somewhere and sometimes better sometimes worse.

Thats life!

I do it only for personal purposes and that's it!

I am no Spezialist, Dev, Pro or other intelligent person.

What I describe are only my experiences, this might work for you and might not!

The most difficult part is to be patient.

If I can help you, I will try, but the work itself, you have to do yourself, not me!

This is just a simple flashing procedure, no coding or developing something else.

Have a nice time
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Maybe you like to write down what you did exactly bevore the crash happens.
[Other SmartWatches] josue30049:
I made the video of the steps that I made for you, could you tell me please, what did I do wrong? What steps do they follow? I think you are the only person who can help me with this device, in my country I already asked for help, I did not find an answer, I think they do not know the device, PLEASE HELP
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Help is on the way....
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
I added some more information to my earlier posted sheet.....
[Other SmartWatches] slayerkaido:
hardy any of the links work, I just got my watch and I got into fastboot mode using ADB but it doesn't appear to have it's own recovery mode and I would definitely like the stock lokmat image and recovery before I proceed. can you reupload the files or use a different plateform like mediafire since google drive keeps taking your file down?
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Hmmm, did you ever tried to backup your MTK Firmware by yourself?

Here is a link to how you can do it:

It will take some time of course, but it worked for me everytime i did it backing up my Devices.
[Other SmartWatches] josue30049:
Look, Id did it, if it is possible to make this watch work, enable background apps, receive notifications, make the battery last almost all day or even a little longer, add animated backgrounds and google apps without the battery running out IN 1 HOUR like i think other smart watch.

👇👇👇
[Other SmartWatches] slayerkaido:
could you explain how you got it rooted? I've tried the MTKClient and I am unable to get any further, it won't unlock the bootloader for me.
[Other SmartWatches] josue30049:
Of course, I made a video tutorial on how to do it, only it's in Spanish, put subtitles on it
[Other SmartWatches] slayerkaido:
english subtitles are not available on it
[Other SmartWatches] josue30049:

[Other SmartWatches] slayerkaido:

[Other SmartWatches] josue30049:

PLEASE FOLLOW THE VIDEO, NOT SO MUCH THESE STEPS, SINCE SOME ARE NOT IN ORDER
[Other SmartWatches] slayerkaido:
Alright after I finally found the free time to get back to the watch I managed to unlock the bootloader using the live usb for MTKclient in xubuntu and the command

python mtk da seccfg unlock

with that I Dumped the boot.img and the vbmeta.img for backup

after which I used ADB to reboot to bootloader and used Fastboot to flash CorvusOS

Corvus_vS4.0-Leviathan-treble_arm64_ab_vndklite-Slim-Gapps-Official-0149.img to be exact

I also tried the LeOS-VNDKLITE-arm64-bvS-19.1.img but I prefer to have GAPPS on my devices if I can

however now that the ROM is on my S999 I figured out that if I set any type of lock screen whether it is a PIN Code or anything I can't get the device to boot again once it restarts, I have to use the SP Flash tool to clear the EMMC_USER to wipe all user data and the mtkclient can no longer see the boot partition or any partition in general, I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of that cause I'm scared to try other ROMS if I can't at least user the mtkclient to erase a partition or even flash another ROM to boot if I can't get into the fastboot mode anymore.

Also I still plan on getting the Dongle for infinity box I just got to wait until I get the money for it.
[Other SmartWatches] josue30049:
I advise you to change ROMS and try, for example I used CORVUS 12 and when I went to the start, to the home of the launcher in landscape mode, the screen sometimes got stuck or took a while to appear horizontally since it was displayed a bit vertically, that didn't work for me. I don´t liked it, also, I didn't have the google apps either, I also used a spark os ROM and it worked great but the device overheated, the one that worked best for me was this LeOS-VNDKLITE-arm64-bvS-19.1.img (By the way, I have a video tutorial where I teach how to activate all the google apps, since by default only some like google translate, lens, etc. work, but in the video I explain how to use all of them like Gmail, drive, maps, youtube, task, authenticator, all except Google assistant, I still can't activate it)
[Other SmartWatches] slayerkaido:
If you could share the way to activate the play store on LeOS I'd be more than happy to switch back, I tend to get a lot of apps from the play store, also if I could set a pin on the device that is also good and the OS comes rooted which is a plus, I just do a lot with the play store is the only reason I'm using corvus, I'm too nervous to try any other OS but those to since the mtkclient can no longer read any partitions on the watch.
[Other SmartWatches] josue30049:
Here is the video is not google Playstore you can use all the apps of google except google asistant y google playstore, but you can download other app store like amazon or apk pure and many others:

Hello,

my cell phone (LOKMAT APPLLP Max) is unfortunately caught in a boot loop. I had first flashed the image Corvus_vS4.0-Leviathan-treble_arm64_ab-Unofficial-1513.img successfully, but I did not like it.

Then I flashed the image LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-a64-bvN.img, but I had forgotten the command

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.bin

beforehand. Can this be the reason? How do I get out of the boot loop again?

Hallo,

mein Handy (LOKMAT APPLLP Max) ist leider in einer Bootschleife gefangen. Ich hatte erst das Image Corvus_vS4.0-Leviathan-treble_arm64_ab-Unofficial-1513.img erfolgreich geflasht, es gefiel mir jedoch nicht.

Daraufhin flashte ich das Image LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-a64-bvN.img, hatte aber vergessen vorher den Befehl

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.bin

auszuführen. Kann es daran liegen? Wie komme ich wieder aus der Bootschleife heraus?

When the battery is empty, do you enter fastboot mode?

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can discharge the battery quickly. I do not want to damage the innards.

ORIGINAL:

Wenn der Akku leer ist, kommt man dann in den fastboot-Modus?

Leider sieht es nicht so aus, als könnte man den Akku zügig entladen. Ich möchte die Innereien nicht beschädigen.

Brief feedback:

It is running again. When the battery was empty I started the program mtkclient, connected the phone and restored the backup of the original system partition.

@Actrapit: What needs to be changed in the LK partition and how to get rid of the Orange State?

[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Hi,

you flashed the wrong Image (LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-a64-bvN.img)!

A LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-arm64-bvN.img is needed here.

But since your mashine is running again you can figure out what kind of image you need after installing the Treble check App.
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Several search results show a lot of information about LK-Partition, so .....

On this mashine i never changed the LK-Partition, i decided not to complain about the short message at boot!

I remember someone here on XDA wrote something about a HEX-Editor is needed for changing the LK-Patition.

Try search for KOSPET OPTIMUS2 here at XDA.

Also very good Information you can find at Hova***k

Maybe at the LeOS Community you will talk to Harvey or others that have more expirience about this Procedure editing the LK-Partition and flashing it afterwards.

Have a nice day

Einen schönen Tag noch!

Hello to all!, Is the mk2 dongle (hardware) necessary to unlock the bootloader?

Thank you very much.
[Other SmartWatches] CAVADIAS:
After investigating and booting from a live usb-stick the unlock bootloader process worked fine. So no dongle is required. Thank you.

Hello,

I am looking for a device to (more or less) get out of digital life (kins of social detox)

googling i found the s999

my question is: should this device replace a phone?

does it support hotspot? could it performs all basic daily tasks?

what about networking bands?

LTE 2600 2100 1800 800 700

UMTS 2100 900

GSM 1800/1900 900

are all supported?

thank you for your answer.
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Hmmm,

depends a lot of your desired GSI, i think....

Network funktionality depends on Stock Kernel, so please take a look at the Specs for this Watch at a Sellers Billboard and find out yourself. Personally i do use this Machine as a cell phone and Hotspot might work because WLAN work very good for me.
[Other SmartWatches] Actrapit:
Tja, bei dieser Maschine habe ich diese Partition noch nie bearbeitet, daher kann dir leider nichts genaueres sagen als das was überall dazu hier in den Nachrichten steht, sorry. Ich würde es allerdings nicht mehr machen, da ich bei einer anderen Maschine mir mal Finger wund getippt habe um am Ende herauszufinden das ich zu blöd dazu bin oder nicht verstanden habe in welcher Reihenfolge die bearbeitete LK Partition zu Flashen ist.

Mod translation: Well, I've never edited this partition on this machine, so unfortunately I can't tell you anything more specific than what's in the news here, sorry. However, I wouldn't do it again because I was typing my fingers sore on another machine only to find out in the end that I was too stupid to do it or that I didn't understand in which order the edited LK partition should be flashed.
[Other SmartWatches] Psk.It:

Which ROMs are most compatible?

My updates so far:

- Couldn't get MTK Client working on Windows 11 no matter what I did.

- Pre-configured Xubuntu image instantly recognized my S999 with MTK Client and was able to unlock the bootloader

- Couldn't burn the Xubuntu image to a USB drive using balena etcher or rufus, had to use another tool that created a live cd

- Couldn't flash any system images from the GSI list using fastboot from Xubuntu, kept getting chunk too large errors.

Final update: Was able to flash Lineage OS 19.1 using the guide here. Battery life is awful though :(

Now wish to do this but I noticed the stock firmware that is listed here is different than mine.

4g_h19_s999_en_v0.9_p_user_20230712

Now don't wanna brick my device or lose IMEI.

Anyone do this on the same firmware I'm on?
[Other SmartWatches] zurullet:
Hello,

My device had the same stock firmware as you have. But after testing some A13 and A14 GSIs, I decided to reflash it with the stock one. As I didn't know how to make a backup (I know, newbie mistake), I had to do it with the one that is listed here. Now I lost my IMEI 😭.

Can you make a copy of your stock firmware, please?

Thank you
[Other SmartWatches] ooppee:
That would result in your device gaining my IMEI.

I PM'd you the IMEI if you don't recall yours. Sadly not much else because the backup of my firmware would give you the IMEI of MY device I wish to use sadly. So cannot do that.

Hey,

i'm sharing my progress on the APPLLP MAX so far. I unlocked the bootloader via MTK client in LeOs Linux live. I also used it to backup all partitions including data partition which took ages... after that i flashed LeOs 19.1 via Fastboot and used fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img and

fastboot -w. all worked well and i also managed to root the system by using magisk and the boot.img

After playing around with the Rom i checked Device info and saw IMEI Unknown and Baseband Unknown. i tried flashing Corvus rom which also worked but didnt bring back the IMEI. I tried restoring nvram, nvdata, md1img, and boot partitions in MTK client linux live but that also didnt bring back the IMEI. Maui Meta and AfterSales Tool, wont recognize the device even if its showing up in device manager with the correct drivers. i think the watch does not enter Meta mode.

Now i'm at a dead and with trying to restore my IMEI. I didn't restore the Watch completely yet (flashing all backed up partitions via MTK Client) but even if i get it back in stock rom, how did i mange to "loose" it in custom Rom.

I hope someone could help me or have an idea what went wrong and how i can restore my IMEI. Thanks.
[Other SmartWatches] ooppee:
Only I can think to fix if these tools is to get it on a rom, root it and then use this app to restore it - you MUST know your original IMEI because you did wipe it so no way to just automatically restore it outside a restore of YOUR OWN backup.

Thanks, I will try the IMEI changer root app. Just have to re root the device cause i restored my backed up boot partition. I made a screenshot of the IMEI in the stock rom.

I'm not even sure if restoring all backed up partitions via MTK will bring me back to stock with working IMEI.

will report progress.
[Other SmartWatches] 5oAwes0me:
After rooting via magisk boot.img/boot.bin I tried apps or xposed for IMEI restore. None of them worked.

After restoring all my backup partitions via MTK except data,cache the watch booted into stock Rom after a data corrupted screen forcing to factory reset the device rebooted into stock rom with working IMEI and cellular.

Flashed LeOs 19 custom rom via Fastboot again resulted in working custom rom with working IMEI and cellular.

Don't know how I managed to "loose" ist the first time I tried custom Rom. Now I'm to scared to try rooting again because I don't want to go through restoring process again if it fails haha.
[Other SmartWatches] ooppee:
I've found the rooting loses my IMEI if you kept those 2 magisk options checked. I checked them off and rooted - kept IMEI.

[Other SmartWatches] Scovik:
Hey folks, just got the S999 with an image much older than 4g_h19_s999_en_v0.9_p_user_20230712 (mine is _v.08_p_user_20210413) 2 years behind the images posted here, aside from the old image the watch works just fine, pretty snappy and responsive.

I'm using this watch exclusively for my EUC kingsong s18 pro, I have the kingsong app and euc world installed on it, kingsong works fine but it's pretty simple as an app while euc world has a lot more features, the problem is for some reason the watch drops the bluetooth connection to s18 pro every minute or so and I need to reconnect it + this defeats the porpose of my use case where I want to see constantly and in real time the km/h I have and other details like battery % of the EUC, so connecting it every min or so makes it useless for my use case.

Does anyone here recommend a custom firmware for this particular model, preferably one that is light and doesn't drain the battery to much and on which I can install euc world, it seems there are a lot of options for this watch and I'm pretty late to the party :) again, I will use it only when riding s18 pro while using euc world so the overal usage and consumtion is minimal (I don't even have a sim in it and I'm not planning to use one).

Any recommendation is appreciated and welcomed, thanks.

Hello.

XDA does some strange scaling for images in the signature added with bbcode.

Is there a way to set values for that? Or disable scaling? I mean, why even do the work and create a perfect signature banner, if the scaling ruins it?

It scales this

to this in the signature

Or does this depend on my system DPI? Is it because I use a big size 4K monitor with higher DPI?

​

It looks like Xiaomi, together with Google, are intentionally spoiling the shell of our Xiaomi Mi pad 5 (Global).​

First of all, to promote their advertising and track users.

This is what is happening now.

The update to Android 12 on Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 brought sudden "bonus" to users:

* In the new "defective" firmware on the desktop added non-switchable Google ads - Google Discover.

* Increased the scale of icons on the desktop: 6x4 for horizontal orientation and 4x6 for vertical orientation. all in order for the user to watch more ads.

* Disabled PC mode. (!)

The only way out is not to install firmware updates by Xiaomi.

Hi Team

I bought Xiaomi Pad 5 on purpose.

Good thoug I knew that A11 wil be better than A12. Probably there is no a lot of optimization with the big screen on A11 as a lot of apps just work as for phone.

But it is better to use A11 as per users reviews.

Have a great one!

Thankyou!

afaik you can download a screen dimming app and reduce the brightness with it, should have the same effect since official implementations take the same approach. the only thing that won't be affected though are some system overlays (notifications, lock screen, statusbar icons)
[General Questions and Answers] circuitburner:
Our company requires us to run their software on phones like the 6700 and 6800 mogul. Its a basic simple GUI login program with status windows.

Now that the 6800s are pulled from sprint stores, The replacement I got was a Touch Pro. Incredible phone and I dont want to go back to the Moguls again.

Heres the Dilema, The screen resolution is so much higher on the new phone, and when I run that software it distorts it by bunching everything up into the upper left 1/4 quadrant of the display.

I will be forced to get another mogul just because of this unless I can find a solution that allows the screen resolution to be lower or something to allow that program that runs fine on a mogul to be viewed correctly on the TP.

Ive seen other posts and screenshots about different software doing this exact same thing on the newer generation screens.

Does someone know of a tweek or program for controlling resolution to correct this ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated !

I read multiple threads about converting LE2127 to EU/NA, and there appears to be many ways to do it, but I don't understand why I would take one way or another.

What is the simplest way to convert LE2127 (US T-Mobile) to non-TMO image with Magisk root?
