Are you saying that even after unlocking the bootloader the device still checks the validity of the boot and recovery partitions?

I find that extremely hard to believe, I will experiment in a few weeks with my device but what you're saying completely goes against the whole purpose of unlocking the bootloader. I can't believe Spreadtrum would do that. It would also mean that EVERY SINGLE spreadtrum device that has been unlocked and rooted has been unlocked for no reason. If you still have to sign the boot then what is the point of unlocking the bootloader.

Else there is a language gap and I'm not understanding you correctly.
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
Just scroll up... I linked a guide on hovatek on how to do this.

That guide will unfortunately mean nothing to you if your watch isn't using the default keys.

I know you told me you had to unlock it with InfinityBox so I assume you don't have the private key used on that device. Without that key I know of no way to create a custom vbmeta and/or to sign the partitions.
[Other SmartWatches] tancreded:
ok, so i've eventually found a launcher apk on my HK ultra one and have been able to extract it, not convinced it is the actual launcher the device is using i nevertheless tried to install it, went as far as to tell me i was upgrading the stock launcher running, but then failed to install, the watch then froze up for a short while but restarted using the 'universal launcher' i had previously tried, (though the watch definitely has the stock launcher app set as the default), needed a reboot to get back to the stock launcher and even that seemed to take a short while longer time than normal to boot up back into the stock launcher

that's my experience, but herewith for anybody who want's to give it a try or fool around with, i personally find the launcher great, love the UI and find everything very fluid, my only criticisms would be 1. no way to load additional/custom watchfaces, and 2. no quick settings GPS shortcut

i would make one further point about the watch, so far i've been unable to get any of the wiiwear type apps see the watch, even the manufacturer/valdus recommended one, and that's despite being able to connect the watch independently to my smartphone with bluetooth
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
For real... I hope we can even access the download mode in our watches.
[Other SmartWatches] jknzj:
Hi all,

I'm looking at getting one of these watches. Can I just ask:

1. Can I access USB debugging through adb? I want to be able to install additional .apk files and disable some of the stock packages

2. Are they all Android 8.1? Are any models running Android 9 or 10?
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
Hi,

I have received my Servo KOM9 smartwatch and am still in the process of the initial main tests of the quality of the watch.

I won't go into details just yet but, just don't purchase the Servo KOM9 just yet if you are thinking about it. There are some indications that the watch is not all it claims to be.

I will write up a review in a few days on AliExpress which I will link here.
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
Alright well let's see
[Other SmartWatches] tancreded:
1. not sure anybody really knows that yet, and won't until somebody finds a way to connect the data point's to a computer, assuming a watch has them, the problem seems to be a lack of suitable charging cables, with the most likely solution a custom made one

2. i've not seen a current model based on anything except 8.1, but then again, there are a lot floating around i haven't seen !
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
They are all 8.1 the ones that are 9.0 or 10 are spoofed and actually 8.1 u can use the hw info app to check it. And yes these watches can be connected to pc using 4 pin magnetic cable
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
This is the Servo KOM9 cable. Yes it has a data connection.

ADB accessable from engineerMode.

Still working on the proper Android Settings (need it for Developer Options -> "OEM Unlock" setting) - it uses a custom settings app and this model doesn't include the regular settings. Other people has had success with installing the Settings apk directly ... I haven't been able to find one that works yet.
[Other SmartWatches] jknzj:
Thanks for your reply.

Do some of the devices come with a USB charging cable that doesn't allow a data connection?

I guess the converse question is: what are the pitfalls when buying one of these watches? Here's what I have gleaned:

1. can't trust the advertised specs with respect to battery capacity

2. may not have access to the stock Android settings app.

3. no root access

If I can enable developer options and connect through ADB then I should be happy, but I can imagine I would want the settings app as well.
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
Same
[Other SmartWatches] tancreded:
i probably need to get one of them, no sure where from though, i can't see any for sale, anyway can you measure the diagonal, (to the nearest 0.5mm), between the pins

thanks
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
Sure, let me do that for you now....

Unfortunately I don't have one of those measuring tools atm.

Looks like 8.5mm between pins.

I too have searched for those cables to buy one if this watch didn't come with a 4pin. I couldn't find one either. I think your best (and cheapest) bet would be to make your own or modify the one that comes with your watch.
[Other SmartWatches] tancreded:
bummer, mine is 10mm

i would modify the one i've got, if i could only get a replacement for it just in case !
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
Try this...

Use clay to make a mould of the shape of the backplate. then determine where the pins should be...

Then use something like a drop of soldering iron (or something) and just connect the wires to it.

The custom cradle doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to work.

Hey guys! I have several smartwatches with Android 8.1 system:

CDS9 190º - Android Go - No Developer option and access to notifications

X8 Ultra - Features Full Android, Developer Option and Notification Access

X9 CALL - Android Go, without developer mode and access to notes

GS29/S8 - Android Go and NO access to developer mode

GS37/S9 - Android Go and NO access to developer mode

D10S - Android Go and NO access to developer mode

HK ULTRA ONE - Android Go and NO access to developer mode

DW89 Ultra - Full SEMI Android, has access to notifications, but does not activate developer mode!

NOTE: I have the firmware/ROM for the CDS9 1980º and PGD Watch Smartwatches, as well as the programs and drivers for installing/or updating them.

This week I will try to backup the X8 Ultra and DW89 Firmware
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
Hi thanks for your effort for writing this but as far as I know, every android smart watch in the market is android go edition and even the x8 ultra is android go (8.1)
[Other SmartWatches] Fabinho Tech:
But some have Developer Mode activated, have access to notifications, access to accessibility, full Android, just like a smartphone!
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
Developer modes are also available in android go. Which watches have access to notifications and accessibility like show me pics
[Other SmartWatches] Fabinho Tech:
Yes, but unfortunately I don't know why manufacturers remove these settings and leave smartwatches a tragedy. You cannot install the Fluotify application, MIUI-ify or ANYTHING that requires access to notifications!
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
Yo Fabinho,

Would you be willing to link us firmware? I think everyone would appreciate that.

PS: If you don't have cloud storage - try to upload it to androidfilehost If I'm not mistaken XDA users get special storage privileges.

[Other SmartWatches] Zayrotek:
I have an H10 smartwatch for the global market with multilingual Android 8.1 Full notifications, access to the engineering menu. I have already managed to flash it, as well as remove a partial backup to create my own version of the firmware. The watch has 2 cameras, heart rate sensor, 4G lte, wifi, BT4... If you need information about the device or firmware, I will be happy to help.
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
Hi Welcome to XDA.

Thanx for the offer, I think everyone following this thread would appreciate another available firmware.

Could you please post a link to any/all firmware you have that is relevant to this thread? I will be looking to port some apps from the best firmwares to get the best possible experience when I root.
[Other SmartWatches] Zayrotek:
This is firmware A8.1, global
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
Just wondering tho, that how did you guys manage to get the firmware?
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
Hi @Fabinho Tech

Your HSC_4.4V900 .pac file wont open on the research tool. How did you obtain / create this .pac file?

***Nevermind it didn't extract correctly*** It works now

I need an FDL1&2 files that work with my watch to dump my watches firmware (with researchtool) as I can't get it from the seller and I missed an opportunity to intercept it from abupdate.com. I clicked on upgrade (on the watch) before thinking about it.

Just a quick update on my watch: The dispute is now resolved and I started trying to root today. But to my great disappointment it seems my watch uses custom private keys. My last option is to resign the vbmeta and do the whole avb resign process. But for that I need the boot.img and the vbmeta.img. And I need the recovery.img to try hovatek recovery creation tool... I'd like to see how well it works.
[Other SmartWatches] Xyberdude:
I havent had a single firmware update on my watch since I bought lol
[Other SmartWatches] PCKnight:
Can somone recommend me a cheap watch that is available on Aliexpress (or some shop with shipping to germany) right now? Without private keys and locked developer mode. Or maybe without spreadtrum cpu even?
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
@Fabinho Tech

Yo, I have a big problem. The dumped firmware I made of my KOM9 smartwatch with researchtool is corrupt. I now have a soft-brick and can't obtain my firmware packet file. Do you have any way to obtain that firmware? If I only had a KOM9 with functional firmware I could try to get the link from iot.abupdate.com.

Till I get that firmware I guess I have a soft brick.

My attitude towards spreadtrum / unisoc keeps plummeting. If I weren't hoping someone would buy the KOM9 so he can get that firmware link for me I would never recommend this watch to anyone.

Custom private keys, faked specs, bad / no official flash tools (spdresearchtool etc are all hovatek programs - I don't even know if spreadtrum has any official flashing tools) and weird sensor modules make this watch a bad choice for a smartwatch.

Unisoc is the new Allwinner - STAY AWAY

I also did everything I could to contact Unisoc/Zhanrui - I even tried phoning them on every number I could find - no one answers or the numbers don't exist.

I got ZERO feedback from other means like email and contact forms online.
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
If there is anyone with a KOM9 watch that comes across this thread...

Please check this folder: android/data/com.abupdate.fota_demo_iot/cache/iport_log.txt

And see if you can track down the firmware file link for me and everyone else that might need it.
[Other SmartWatches] Mozhuyi🍥:
There is nothing wrong with your understanding. All Unisoc platforms follow this Secure Boot verification scheme.

I also have a Unisoc Tiger T618/T700 tablet device, which will still verify the validity of the partition listed in vbmeta partition after unlocking the bootloader.
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
Hi @Mozhuyi🍥

Can you please share that TFT Unlock tool. The version we're using doesn't have all those options for Spreadtrum. My version gives very basic functionality like flash and reboot.

[Other SmartWatches] mhd 12:
In case someone need this to enable developer options :

after many attempts i enabled developer options without access to settings without tapping build number and without new settings app , am gonna post how i did it , but remember you going to need a 4 pin cable for this , and you have like 10 or 15 seconds to do it .

- first restore the watch to factory and delete everything ,

- you will see that screen showing erasing then the watch going to boot up

- right after it boot up before the screen telling you to put sim appear , enable usb debug with the code *#*#83781#*#*

-plug directly the watch to pc u'll notice in the statue bar a notification one that says usb debugging enabled and another saying setting up android ( u have to do everything before setting up android finishes )

- click on USB debugging notification, it will open developer option menu

- you will see a toggle showing developer option enabled , disable it and re-enable it , now u'll have access to developer options menu from any settings shortcut without any problem

remember you have to do everything quickly because right after it finishes setting up android and the sim window show up developer options wil just quit and ask you to enable it if u don't do all these steps
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
The SPDResearchtool has a backup firmware function BUT.... You have to supply the FDL1 & FDL2 files. I'm not entirely sure what information is included in the FDL files but I suspect it's like the scatter file for MTK. Now you can extract the correct FDL files from a stock firmware .pac file but I didn't have that so I took a chance that the dump wouldn't brick the device but, flashing the FDL1 & FDL2 files made the device go into a bootloop and the dumped firmware is corrupt.

I think the dumped firmware is corrupt cause the FDL files used was from another firmware that didn;t have a spoofed /data partition that was formatted as 64GB and as such the offsets in eMMC memory is incorrect.

So simply getting the correct firmware and the FDL files with that would fix my problem.
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
Can I ask everyone to please post in English. You can post in any other language too as long as English is the primary language as XDA rules dictate.
[Other SmartWatches] gh0stza:
I recognize that model. They might have taken the body of another watch and changed the hardware slightly but I think they just took an existing watch and modified the software slightly and sell it as an "H10".

I must mention the rectify11 and other windows mod's in internet​

In Newest Windows 11 Update they redesigned the windows setup but they have created the setup wierder than wierd​

If a little team like rectify11's team can create huge mod's like this why microsoft can't?​

Microsoft STOP Doing wrong the windows getting bad after any updates. i have to say my windows 11 every day display's me hundred of popup's to notice me i'm run out of lisence but when i check the setting i have around 100 day's left.​

these popup's are anoying me very much.​

AND I'M CANNOT UPDATE/ROLLBACK ANYMORE BECAUSE OF A BUG IN MY LAST UPDATE​

MY ORIGINAL WINDOWS 11 WITHOUT ANY MODS HAVE VERY MUCH BUG'S THAN A MODED VERSION!​

That's an incorrect way of understanding how companies work.

You don't need to necessarily stick with decisions you have taken before, and should be flexible with new developments and circumstances. If reversing a decision taken earlier makes sense, then you should go ahead with it.

It is not like Windows 10 stopped working after Windows 11 was released. Or is not being supported anymore.
