I bought this TS clone from Amazon.co.uk. It came with android 4.4 and I have tried everything to root it. Can someone nice please help me? I also want to put one of the recent custom roms on it. Thank you. My major gripe with it is that I want it to tether to my phone for notifications.

Is able to provide an image of the entire firmware currently running on his device ?
No, I have been unable to back up the image because I could not root it.

Ok, there are three ways to get a backup
try to take a look here for the first two : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031
the third: install the TWRP recovery by Sp Flash Tool then backup From recovery .
After installing the recovery you can root installing Chainfire superSU.zip http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

it would be really good to get the proper specs for the watch - the advert list some things that seem to contradict each other.
Can you let us have the info from the watch itself?
I would also be nervous about putting a custom ROM on it - you would lose the sensors; you already have KK on it, so why bother?
However, if you can get a dump as rik81 says, it might help port it onto the TS and allow our sensors to work

Ok, Ive also got one of these now.
The only way I could root it was with KingoRoot, be aware - it takes ages, but eventually works.
This unit is more like the TS than the Ironman, so there may be a good chance of backporting to the TS, with working sensors afterall.
I'll see if I can get a full backup for +kuronosan and others to have a look at.

Great, if you can provide a backup I could try to take a look.
However if it is really the same unit there should be no problem
Any news on the Backup? Looking forward to it! I hope, this will bring us a fully functional 4.4 rom for our truesmart!

This is somewhere between a TS and Ironman......the PCB and user interface look more like the original TS, as does the physical form factor, but its nearly as heavy as the Ironman, as its made of steel.
Note that the Recovery partition doesnt seem to work

I just recently got my first smart watch which is newly released in August by a Shenzhen company. Then started digging around in the web to learn and search SW for this watch as it is shipped with almost nothing but the HW. Fortunately I get here and learned a lot, also discovered that my watch has almost same HW as Omate and other clones in the market, the only difference is Andoid 4.4.2 system, bluetooth 4.0 LE and IP67 waterproof they advertized. Once people from that company also said Omate is their ODM product and now this is their 2nd generation with its own brand. I may not believe it 100% but given so many Omate clones in the market, it is no surprise at least they have relations.
Their customer service is even poorer than Omate, as they are busy attending shows etc and give vague promise of ongoing SW development, I can't wait but to seek help from forums.
So my help needed is: if there is any ROOT method available for this, is existing Omate root method working?
Till now I didn't really enjoyed any 4.4.2 system advantage over 4.2. Maybe I just don't know enough or maybe it is just a fake information in system settings?
Waterproof wise it does equipped with weird star type screw so that no one can open the back without special tool. that may be an indication of its IP67 capability? Maybe, but I do see report of water damage report and it could be water came in from the sim card slot because of not tightened screw or the poor quality water seal rubber.
Another minor improvement may be he charging cable, it is a magnetic head stick to the back of the watch, not as stable as Omate's little case but more convenient.
For anybody interested: please search unova on aliexpress.com sorry I am too new and can't publish the link
looks really like the truesmart?

Baseband version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V43.2014/08/12 09:45
the backup ROM link and tool download link are invalid or not accessible for me. I tried to backup the ROM by following the link on chinaphonearena.com/forum/Thread-MTK6592-MTK6582-MTK6589-MTK6577-MTK6575-MTK6572-ADB-PDAnet-VCOM-Drivers but met problem.
I downloaded PDAnet_4150.exe to install ADB driver on my win7 64, it prompts: an existing andoid USB driver exists, and I selected yes to reinstall it, then choose other type device, turn on the USB debug mode, then connect the watch, the installer shows: installing USB driver success, setting up network driver success, but popped up the box saying installer fail to open device, when I click ok, uninstalling PDAnet starts. i read another post that actually when ADB driver is installed, PDAnet installation is not needed. so I opened mtkdroidtools_253, the connection is in blue rather than in green. phone information can be displayed successfully, but it can't be ROOTed, so not able to backup the ROM. The above backup ROM tutorial link in chinaphonearena also said I need a ROOTed phone to backup, so I am stuck.
Run towelroot. Send me your e-mail address.

GPS is pretty good, better than my mobile phone.
How to test BTLE?
Almost managed to dump the ROM, but failed in the last step and need to debug again. The hardest part is how I can open the back to disconnect the battery, the watch seems to be locked now. But the strange screw.........
Picture of the screw?
Okay guys, thanks to his awesome patience I have a full backup of the KitKat image.
It's not something I'd want people to try and flash. Right now let me test it and go through the files.
And no, it's not booting.

Yes, I'll be trying to do what I can to make a bootable kernel/bootloader.
So if we can make this kernel boot and take a official KK image (Like the one in the General topic from the exact same PCB)
then KK is possible? Right?

PPTV King 7
After installing official Rom is there English language? And are you able to select the original theme?
Wanting to keep this phone as it is very nice,, but there are a lot of bugs with the custom Rom that they installed to get google services.
So if flashing the original Rom sorts these bugs out, and English language is still selectable, then i will keep it.
I do have the choice of sending it back and exchanging it for the xaiomi mi max, just have to pay a little extra,but i would rather keep it if i can select English language and the original theme.
Any response asap would be grateful.

Hi,
If you buy from banggood you will no need to re-flash rom. You can root it easily after flashing customized TWRP via SPFlash Tool. Screen is one of the best you can find. It has a dedicated HQ hifi chip inside. It is a big plus if you listen to music a lot. Battery can hold up to 36 hours in moderate usage.
Btw, probably due to Lollipop version based, FM radio is not working on mine.
Looks like someone has finally done it CM13 6.0.1 mm with Gapps for this device check Youtube, can't post link atm. have asked for a translation, should be up soon...=]
Wow, nice! Will this rom work on the pptv king 7s, too? I think its the same device with another display (glasses-free 3d).

I wouldn't have thought so, as the 7s has a 3d software, I have spoken to the person that ported this cm13 From another phone to this device and he says it is just a test version..
However, it is fully working and quite well really, with just a few bugs like torch and obviously no working NFC, .
I did give him the link to this thread, i really hope a dev will be able to take this project on, and maybe make an updated fully working cm 14 Rom for this excellent device. I would donate my device for that reason, but as I am actually using it, and as it's my only device, I unfortunately can't.

Will that include a wider choice of languages than before? Not only English and Chinese, I mean?
Sorry,. Do you mean languages in the ROM itself?
If you do, then I presume it has all the languages that cm13 has. It has a lot. What I was referring to was the video from YouTube would be translated to English soon. It now has subtitles so you can follow the tut.
But, I have installed king root and rooted that way, then installed flashify to install TWRP recovery, then in TWRP, I made a backup!, Flashed SU, then flashed the cm13 Rom.
Wiped dalvic and cache and rebooted recovery, wiped dalvic and cache once more then rebooted system, Done much easier...[emoji11]

Thank you very much for these helpful notes. Since my first post I have installed cm13, switched the launcher from Chinese to my native language, and installed a load of apps I used to have on my trusty old Samsung Note II. The only thing I still haven't done is actually putting a sim card in and checking the mobile's telephone functionality including the now hopefully working ringtones.
BTW, is it just me, or do the photographs taken with the front camera have a very strong blue or green tint? I haven't noticed that effect with the original camera app, so could this have to do with cm13's app?

Flash the latest build (then gapps and magisk if needed)
Reboot
How to update builds?
Do not wipe anything unless stated in the changelog
Flash only the rom.zip and it will automatically reinstall your gapps, magisk etc
use /system/addon.d if you would like to keep system mods after an update

Are you aware of a method to dual boot this rom alongside samsung's stock firmware?

No, i haven't tried myself but i think i saw something about dual boot for s9 somewhere so should be easy to port over.
This is my daily driver now, dont think i will be using stock firmware again as this has everything i need.
Also if you dualboot alongside stock firmware im sure there will be a vendor mismatch problem.
ARK2 is what it is based on, any other vendors will either not boot at all or will break the cameras.

The reason why I want to dual boot is to not lose my data which is work related (some apps cant be simply reinstalled), but i really want to install your ROM!
Ill take a look and see if there is a way!

Battery life for me is very similar compared to stock, but my phone feels much faster, benchmarks score around the same only slightly higher.
If you are unrooted i don't think there is a safe way to backup your app data.
I hope my request is not a burdensome one to you but can you make a build for the korean version of note 9 (N960N)?
great developer, awesome rom - fast, nce and smooth........
Interesting .. Is HWC fixed now?
Nvm just saw your comment on HWC. Hopefully 16 comes sooner then later. Thanks for taking your time to release some new updated Asop goods.

Hell yes !! Thanks to the dev to make it possible ! Just a few questions about the spen before flashing that masterpiece
Are the spen and its features fully compatible with the rom just like the stock one or will I need to do some manipulations to get it ? And how about the spen smoothness in general ?
Thanks in advance

The Spen works well and will act like a mouse like it does in all aosp roms, it works to hover it over the screen and sensitivity is good, but the button won't work.

Yeah I understand what you mean. Not gonna lie that a bit frustrating. I'm a daily user of the Spen and that's way I was asking for it. I mean almost all its features are there excepting that button.. Anyway I will probably flash that one but do you know if it would be possible to make that button work in the future ?

I highly doubt AOSP will support the bluetooth button charging etc, as it's a samsung specific thing
for the S-Pen, I have been using AOSP rom 8.1
if you love AOSP and have a good reason to flash it, then it is possible to gain back some of the spen features in AOSP, not as smooth as in Sammy's Roms but ok, I posted what i did here, there is even a video showing what I did. it involves root, and xposed, (now ed exposed)
as for the spen bluetooth capability, the Spen is still active and recharges by itself. if you download nRF connect or lightblue apps from playstore, once you click the button you can see the pen as a bluetooth device SPEN (0D27) ZK, through these apps you can even subscribe to the service and get notifications when the button is pressed, so techinically speaking if someone has app development knowledge this can be done easily. to my limited knowledge I documented what I have discovered here
I have suggested to nRF connect App devs if they can have a tasker plugin so we upon a spen button click we can use tasker to make different actions, they reacted positively, the dev mentioned that they might work on it but might take some time since they are short resourced. but been some time since.
I did a funny workaround once, they keep the log in data/data/no.nordicsemi.android.log/databases, so when that file changes you can read the line change and read the button event, and trigger a tasker action.
its doable, just needs a proper dev that works on it. an AOSP spen remote, or even a custom BLE notification tasker plugin if he wants to make it universal and target alot of devices such as smartwatches..
last note: if the spen works funny in landscape, there is a post in the same thread showing how to fix it.
@Synt4x.93 I will flash this rom today.. Thank you for the awesome work..

Next step is easy : Install drivers and use flashtool or fastboot to flash patched boot.img .
Good luck .
FLASHING:
For flash you need :
1.Unlocked bootloader (warranty to be not void)
2.ADB i FASTBOOT

Thanks.
However, I won't root my device. I've had Sony devices since 2012 and it'll be the 1st device that I won't root.
Unfortunately, since XZ2, we have no DRM patch and cannot have hope to have it...
I don't want to lose DRM protected stuff (such as camera denoising...).
Thank you, might give this a go. Have you tested on an Xperia 5?
Sent from my Sony J8210 using XDA Labs
Until the Xperia 5 doesnt received anymore os updates I will give this a go. Does it contain the drm keys?
That was stock boot without patches , drm etc. You can flash it via fastboot .

Looks like You totally missed the DRM Patches which are around since 2017... There is nothing not working anymore. Even AOSP can take Denoised Pictures OOTB. Besides that has SONY Changed a lot around the Camera with the Xperia 1 & 5. I mean... 3 Lenses? We are good to go. My Xperia 5 will be in My Hands tomorrow and i will not wait a Single Minute to unlock its Bootloader :angel:

a bit off-topic
@Miustone could you run "Camera2 API Probe" before/after unlocking and post screenshots of the results for comparision, please. I would like to know which DRM camera stuff still works afterwards without ta-backup/restore

Ha ha!! Excuse me but find us a DRM patch for xperia XZ2, XZ3 and 1. You won't find because it does not exist.
Beside my Xperia 5, I've my good old rooted XZ2: its denoising in low light conditions is not good at all, it was much better when it was not rooted. Why? Because some Sony camera stuff is DRM protected.
Now, you can do anything with your device, I don't care...
PS: the only existing "patch" for XZ2 only prevents black view in camera on Pie (it was a real patch on Oreo... but this is a long story, I won't tell it here).
What sin file did you extract from and what tool did you use to extract it? Thanks
EDIT: @MAREK10747 sorry, read in your post that you extracted manually because Flashtool doesn't work with these files yet. I've uploaded what I believe is the US' Xperia 5 (J8270) boot image. If you have a moment would you mind extracting this one so we can root?

Hi!
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm a complete beginner at these things and never rooted anything in my life so... Please be gentle I'm looking to root my Xperia 5 j9210 version because I'm told that's what I need to do in order to regain the ability to record calls which was lost to me due to the Android Pie update. However, I feel lost in the terminology and I'm really unsure about what I actually need and what I don't need... I read somewhere I need a custom rom, someone said Stock works fine, either way I can find neither stock nor custom roms for the device in question despite my best efforts... I did however find this, but a Kernel is not a rom as far as I understand so I don't really know where that leaves me... Would anyone mind explaining to me what this is, if it will help me achieve what I need (root acess so I can record calls) and if so how do I use it? I'm talking like, explain this as if I was a caveman and then maybe I might get it somewhere down the line... xD
I'm imagining a lot of people would just go "You have no idea what you're doing, this is not for you, please stop", but I am genuinely trying to learn about these things so... If you don't mind, please help this humble beginner understand the basics
Any and all help is much appreciated!
Cheers

I totally agree!
@MAREK10747
Sorry in advance for my ignorance:
But at least, a minimum of knowledge of Android and Magisk assumed, the people will know what to do. Before at least there's a working TWRP for this device, I won't buy it and will stay with a supported XZ2/XZ3 device.
Well, it's a new device, and I surely don't want to criticize you; it will help people who already got this device and can't wait to root :good:

Sorry again, but this isn't the correct order. It has to be: Someone offers a product and another one is willing to pay for it and/or support it, but not: "Send me some money via PayPal to motivate me and I will see what I can do". It's like to buy a pig in a poke!
On the other hand, I don't know, if this goes conform with the xda rules...
