I purchased a Zenwatch 2 online fairly cheap and the watch works GREAT!! The only issue I'm having is the fact that the watch will not system update. I've been at this for about a week trying every suggestion (ADB, update through watch) and nothing works. I havent tried TWRP due to the fear I may bootloop. Is twrp my only option to get to 6.0.1? Any help would be great!

Hi,
Sounds like it got thrown into fastboot mode. If so, the update may not have took. If your build number (found in settings) is not LCA43, then that's probably the case.
To pair the watch again, only way I can think of is to factory-reset the watch. Any update it took will luckily still be there, only your userdata will be wiped.
After the LCA43 update I had to reset my G Watch to get it to function properly.
The Mini M8S TV Box is a new budget box running Android 5.1 with the Amlogic S905 and 2GB of Ram.

Hello,
it coming with root or how it can be rooted?
Thank you.
The Mini M8S is very intriguing. SD card, Bluetooth, and 2 GB RAM. Just need to find it from a reputable retailer online, since I'm probably going to stay away from Gearbest. Would like to know if this box can be wiped and installed with a vanilla Android OS. Would like to start from scratch and not be running any of their pre-installed junk.
Also kind of a bummer this doesn't do 5G wifi. I would think that all the newer boxes would include it. It's got everything else I'm looking for in a budget Kodi box.

According to the review, it's already rooted. I think the question is whether or not it can be flashed with a different ROM. Hopefully there's a guide out soon. Would love to get vanilla Android on it. (just ordered one off Gearbest)

Question:
Is this unlocked i.e rooted? I came across many apps that say not supported by this device in the play store. Is this where I should or could side load them by merely downloading the .apk myself ?

Hello Brown,
Thank you for your inquiry,it is unlocked but not rooted.You can download the app in the media center like kodi.Have a nice day.
Got mine yesterday from gearbest. It was rooted and I must say I'm very impressed. Very fast and played everything I've tried with no buffering and perfect picture. Very happy

Hi, can you tell me if this boots when powered or do you have to turn it on with the remote? Thanks.

It's powered up as soon as I plugged in the cable
Hello, I also I got one. Well done, compact, without lags. The device is root. Only small usb ports and little available RAM. I personally use a Nova launcher and combined small keyboard with touch.
Best Regards.

Hi to all. Does anyone know how to reflash the rom in case we need to do so? The device is rooted. A bad apk may cause harm. Where can we find the rom to reflash if this happens?
I've also got e of these but is giving me problems with failed updates and random reboots. Could do with reflashing to see if this solves the problem but I have no idea as to where to get the files from for this device. Anyone know?
Or is there a different firmware I can try?
Cheers

Question:
Where can I download firmware updates?
Reply::
Hello Bryan,
Please kindly send us e-mail to http://www.gearbest.com/about/contact-us.html. Then we will contact our supplier to ask for the update firmware.
This box is very nice, here are some details:
There is a small hole underneath for the reset button; you can use a toothpick to hold the button while you insert the power. This will give you access to recovery.
Looking at traffic flow I can see it connects to fota4.adups.cn to determine if there is a new update and downloads the updates from: hwfotadown.mayitek.com
Here is the latest patch as of this writing:
http://hwfotadown.mayitek.com/ota/r...04011829-LMY47V-2016041117331460428050687.zip
At this time I am unable to find a full firmware IMG file that I could use with the "USB Burning Tool" (The ultimate recovery, if things go bad)
For me there is no OTA update (says i have the latest), device comes with firmware from 28 of March, It is working fine though.
I installed Selinux mode changer to make Selinux permissive and after reboot the device was unresponsive. I tried the reset procedure as described by tpcip6 above and after a factory restore the device restored the rom perfectly. All apps were there despite the fact that i had uninstalled a couple of them. I was surprised. How could this happen? Is there a hidden recovery partition or something? Anyway i was happy that the box was fully functional again.

I'm getting the same problem. Other people have mentioned that there's an update by my OTA is saying it's up to date even though i have the March version. Even the screenshots from @fireman_vt show an April update.
Thanks to @tcpip6 i've downloaded the new update.
Also, i'm having an issue with Kodi and SPMC where any 5.1 file i play with passthrough enabled causes audio drops every few seconds (i'm using HDMI). Hopefully the updated can help with this issue.

Did you manually applied the update and did it work?

I am still at work so haven't had a chance. I hope it's as simple as booting into recovery and flashing? Will try an OTA just before in case.

Dont think you need recovery, just copy the file to root of sdcard and then in the update app choose offline.
Maybe they removed the update because of issues like the disappearing of google play store?
Hi!
I'm new on XDA, so I'm sorry if the thread is placed in wrong subforum - if it is, I'm asking mod to move it in more proper place.
I bought Lenovo Lemon 3 - it was advertised as Vibe K5 Plus, but apparently the seller wasn't that reliable as I thought. As far as I know, the differences beetwen these models are little or none, but I have pretty big problems with the phone.
First of all it has some preinstalled software, which isn't in Play Store and some of them I can't even find in the net. The apps I would like to get rid off are KingRoot, MaxxAudio and SecurityIT. I successfully managed to disable MiBrowser - with help of KingRoot tool Purify actually. I tried to disable SecurityIT also, but if I do that I can't enter Settings->Apps. When I try the com.android.settings is stopped and it's not working till i enable SecurityIT again.
Second of all is that process com.android.phone is stopping randomly. Sometimes I click "ok" and I it starts working again. But sometimes it keeps crashing until I restart the phone. Since it's a dual sim phone and I'm using only one sim I thought that maybe this is causing a problem, but inserting second card wouldn't work, so currently I have no idea what is causing the problem. I tried cleaning cache and appdata with no effect. If the process is crashing and somebody will call - the phone restarts itself when I try to answer.
Thirdly it's hot. Even if I'm not doing anything and all apps are off and Im charging the phone it sometimes says that it can't be charged because of too high temperature on battery. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes it's too hot too touch and I don't know why.
Oh, and one more thing. Something is installing random software. It looks like every time I open Chrome something is opening new tab and redirecting to PlayStore. I am trying to close these tabs while they're loading, but sometimes it loads too fast. Every morning I uninstall some new app, which is apparently installed by night. And those apps aren't added to my Play Store Account. I have disabled unknown sources, but I can see that phone is checking for updates around 2 a.m - so maybe those apps are from there - but I can't see any possibility to disable auto-updates. I have disabled auto updates in Play Store and I have "Lenovo Enhanced Experience" unchecked. Most of apps I installed from Play Store are games I had on the previous phone so I am sure they're not dangerous. Any ideas to prevent the installation of this unwanted software will be appreciated.
Since I used KingRoot to disable MiBrowser I apparently rooted it, but I was reading that this works only with KingRoot installed and with internet connection. And it's sending some data to China, which is not nice. RootChecker says it's rooted.
Lenovo Launcher it's not great either, I downloaded Lollipop Launcher from store and it works fine, but I had to block Lenovo Launcher from autostart, because it was very irritating and was enabling few times.
I am living in Europe so I was thinking is it possible to put on this phone Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus Stock ROM? Or is it this "trashy" like the one I have? I really like specs of the phone and I don't wanna return it, but I don't like the software behavior. Can you tell me what I can do to improve this? I don't care about warranty and I would like to have pure, non trashy Lollipop, so if it is possible somehow I would be glad for any help.
Thank you in advance for any help!
Lenovo Lemon 3 K32C36 > Cyanogenmod 14 - 7.1.1: SUCCESS
Hi
Did not know where to post this, I was not allowed to post in developer forums:
For those unlucky enough to have bought a Lenovo Lemon 3, I offer hope. My daugther's 'Lemon' now runs cyanogenmod 14 near flawlessly.
Here's what finally did it.
1st you have to unlock the bootloader. I found this page, google translated it,
http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t717648-420.html
and near the bottom is this link to a 'one-click bootloader unlocker'
http://lenovo-forums.ru/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=56376
[All this is similar to the Lenovo unbricking described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/how-to/unbrick-vibe-k5-plus-qfil-qpst-method-t3467830
but a lot of that is not what you need now.]
You have to install and run QPST from this on a Windows machine, and the Lenovo and Qualcomm USB drivers and the Visual C thing too to set it up.
I fiddled for a while but eventually got QFIL to recognize the Lemon. Keep in mind Win is pickier about USB cables than Linux.
Following instructions carefully, that one click then worked!
I moved back to Linux and adb and did the second part (pasting instructions from the Win .bat file into a root terminal). Sure enough, when I booted into recovery I had TWRP! But it showed no files on the Lemon and said there was no OS there! Nevertheless I was able to boot back into the awful K32C36 system with no problem.
So I went back to adb and did it again, but this time from the info and links on this page - but I did not at that time see the need to root.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-lenovo-vibe-k5-t3391100
Beyond all expectation TWRP then booted and all was visible.
I then picked this ROM page because someone had wrote that they had it working on K32C36
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k5-plus/development/unofficial-cm14-lenovo-k5-k5-plus-t3478288
to get this
http://moto.shreps.fr/Lenovo Vibe K...cm-14.x/cm-14.1-20161213-UNOFFICIAL-A6020.zip
Then onto SD card with it and pico 7.1.1 gapps
Install with TWRP (after backing up lame old ROM and wiping system, data, cache, as advised).
Long wait during 1st new system boot (I thought it was defeat) -- but comes the little blue man bringing very good Nougat.
Hope someone gets helped here .
Hello there!
I upgraded my midong to the last CN firmware by mistake and I tried to downgrade to 1.0.5.60 English using notify&fitness app
The process was shown as completed and successful, but my midong is working with a black screen and it doesn't connect by Bluetooth.
Anyone with the same problem?
Is there any way to soft/hard reset and install fw again?
BLE Scanner detects the midong but its unable to discover services/connect
Thx guys for your help! :crying:
The black screen is because the correct file is missing (thats no problem)!
But have you tried with a few devices? Maybe your main flash device has a bluetooth mac adress conflict?!

Did you get any solution to the black screen. My amazfit cor stucked in this black screen after a firmware downgrade, and It does not connect through bluetooth.
Hey I have a similar problem too.... black screen, oddly I can see it via Bluetooth but cannot connect. I am at odds on trying to figure out another way to send the missing file. Any other ideas on this?
mine got stuck while trying to do its own update, it keeps trying to connect and appears like it does when you accept the prompt on the screen but then the app kicks it back and says it didnt connect...its 2 weeks old and they have no solutions for this ?

Mine also started doing this yesterday. I've had mine for 6 months now. Wonder if it was maybe some update that caused it? Have you found a solution yet?
Solution
After upload a watchface i also got the black screen
For me the solution was open mi fit go to profile/amazfit cor\display settings\ make any change in the items order and save

Exactly same problem here. It did its own update in March and then can't pair it up to updgrade or downgrade anymore. Bricked.
Working again
So my Amazfit Cor is working again. I let the battery drain (almost took 2 months) and after the restart, the pairing worked again.
Hello @All,
i have been reading about two days in a hardcore manner, how do i get to solve my originn problem with my moto g5.
Two days ago i discovered a major problem with this hardware, cause i put a wifi-ap down. As this wifi-AP was down, moto g5 could not connect to other wifi-spot in the house i am living in. It was all time going connect, disconnect etc. It was not stable.
Therefore i try to get an update for my hw, as it was N7. Right now it has NPP25.137-93.
Cause of this problem above, i try to get i root it and also try to install trwp. Before this steps, i inlocked my device.
I could unlock, install twrp_cedric_3.1.1-0.zip an root it succesfully.
But ...
No way Jose to install any Custom ROM. In the meanwhile, i was near to bricked it down. I could solve this Problem with adb and _Moto G5 1st November 2017 update.zip ._
After this i could use my moto G5, but __still__ with wifi-problem, not possible to connect to wifi-cells near to me, if moto was connected them in the past. The device was still not able to a stable connection to wifi-cells, i had to clear all near known cells, till the last one (an USB Antenna on a linux-debian System).
I was a huge desparation to try to flash custom roms, like Oreo 8.0/8.1, LineageROMs too.
But i was prepared for it, a rooted system with twrp on it.
But __none__ of flashing a customROM was succesfull.
I tried:
lineage-14.1-20180817-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip
lineage-15.0-20171125_073252-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip
lineage-15.1-20180415-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip
CEDRIC_NPP25.137-33_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I always get
"Updater process ended with ERROR:255
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/...zip"
Looking for a solution, i learned that twrp exist in 32 and also in 64bit. Is that right? Where do i find 64bit typ.
How do i solve this problem, what is going wrong?
There are a lot of succesfull stories to get Oreo installed on it.
My first try was with
PixelExperience_cxedric_8.1.0-20171211-1836.zip
=> no success.
Pls., do you have any advice for me?
How do i flash a custom rom __without__ this error?
Is there a chance to update my device from N7 to O8.0/8.1?
Right now i have this installed:
Magisk-v18.0.zip
MagiskManager-v6.1.0.apk
no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip
twrp_cedric_3.1.1-0.zip -> twrp-3.2.3-0-cedric.zip
cedric-user 7.0 NPP25.137-93 12 release-keysM8937_22.29.02.56R (=Moto G5 1st November 2017 update.zip)
(helped me, before bricked it down with adb.exe cmds.)
Thanks in advance.
