Like the title say is it better chinese firmware for future updates, hearing about LeEco problems in the US and India. I have a Le Max 2 had the sellers firmware on it the one without the system update. I was able to install the Indian one 5.8.19S. The way I see this only the chinese firmware is up to 5.9 and have a better chance to get Nougat. Thanks.
You don't have chance to get Nougat from the stock firmware either India or Chinese stock.
you should stick on whatever stock firmware you already have, or lineage OS for the latest android with buggies
no I flashed tablets and smartphones for ages but now I wont to stick with stock firmware. I read that LeEco are working on Nougat updates but I thing the chinese will possibly have it or if not I will update to the chinese the 5.9.2xS. thanks

1. No, unless u install recovery and root. ( I don't see any point here as LeEco is almost dead). also u can come back to Indian anytime u wish.
2. Yes, same as Indian but without Google apps though you can install manually.

If now the version of a firmware is lower 1.0.7.35, then it mod will update a firmware and there will be English instead of Chinese
Is it a Permanent Conversion or it will be reflashed with CN version with the next MI Fit update?
This is not permanent, it only works while this firmware is being used. I plan to continue to release modified versions of mifit, if use them, the firmware will be changed again to CE.

Hi mate! Nice job!
So... Just to clarify things. The firmware you are sharing change the bip cn to international version, but future mi fit apk wont recognice it as ce and will uptade the firmare to cn? An I right?
For last (sorry for so many questions), If you know ... Just for curiosity.... I dont understan why we cant turn a cn into ce permanetly if they share the same hardware.
Thanks, friend!
I have already installed the version 3.3.0 and it updates firmware on my amazfit Cor Chinese version. Now I installed the APK version you propose, but the amazfit cor can't connect to the app. What I am wrong? The new APK can downgrade firmware?
Thank you.

hw version is in a special area of flash memory and it's easy to change. But just yesterday kmz7 found a way to change the version of hw and already quite a few people have made Amazfit Bip CE permanently. But this method requires skills using Gatget Bridge

Wowwwwwww! Good news! But aparently the file is down.. Do you have it to share?
I will try to do it if I find the file, but google translator its not really helping me... If someone could tranlate or explain this to me:

.res file must match the .fw file
p.s. I made a small correction to the Google translation
Inside two files, Mili_chaohu_makece.fw turns to the international version (0.11.2.4), Mili_chaohu_makecn.fw back to the Chinese version (0.11.1.4).
Version 0.1.0.86. The version change is implemented in the Factory Reset function, instead of changing mac addresses.
Install firmware Mili_chaohu_makece.fw with GadgetBridge. If there is a need, or you do not know what is necessary, then you must install Mili_chaohu.res from the orig folder! .
Before the implementation of Factory Reset, I recommend to unbind smartwatch from all software (gadgetbridge, MiiFit, etc.). Go to the smartwatch in the menu, settings, Factory Reset , press Ok (yellow button), the smartwatch will ask you to press and hold the button to confirm. After that they will reboot, and most likely there will be a picture of the phone <-> smartwatch on the screen. All,
can be tied to the MiFit. The smartwatch should come to life and update the agps.
After that you can install the required firmware. The version changes forever. If you want to return the version of hw, do the same with Mili_chaohu_makecn.fw.
The transformation of the original international version into Chinese was not tested (and I do not know why it might be necessary),
but I think problems should not be.

and the most important thing
All actions at your own risk! The probability of getting a brick is not zero
p.p.s this applies only to Bip, NOT for Cor!

you must install the Mili_chaohu.res file from the orig folder. Now you have installed .res 0x1d version, and for 86 firmware you need a .res file of version 0x1c

Thanks again! After 2 soft bricks and 2 fail attempts, I did it
The first try I forgot about the res file, the second about factory reset and than... I really dont know what I did wrong or right but finaly work! :silly:
Now my bip is international
Cant recommend for those who are ansious or dont know how to solve a soft brick or dont have a deeper knolege and can hard brick the device... Its better to wait for a step by step very dettailed english tutorial!
Anyway.. Thanks for sharing! All is good for me
Let's Hope to see It for Cor

HI Guys!
One Question.
Before i had the Mi Band 2 and there is that Feature, that the Band vibrates short if you tap to see your updated Heartrate.
The Cor doesnt have that Feature?
Its some annoying, coz in my Eyes the Cor needs some longer to detect Heartrate and if you not look at the Band all the time, you dont recognize its done and gone after some seconds, coz of Display Timeout.
anyone can explain step by step ?
Model A1619 arrived yesterday, prior to the update of its rom, I could see all the app in the watch,
Then I updated its ROM to the latest version 2.3.2.7
After the update, even I enable all the apps, it doesn't have Himalaya Radio, AliexpressPay and Mi-Home app in the watch anymore,
I suspect this has something to do with the update that was given to this Model, and A1619 is the international model? the latest rom 2.3.27 removed these three feature for some regional reason.
Checked with their tech support team this morning, the chinese version A1609, has the latest rom version of 2.0.15.0
I am waiting for the unlock code, thanks for the awesome website of boot loader unlocker, once the code arrives, I am thinking to either go for the Pacefied rom or install the Chinese version with all the functions enabled.
Am I heading the right direction to resolve this issue?
Thanks guys
Yes, if you need/want these apps you have to go with the CN or a CN-based custom ROM. You probably will have to use a CN Amazfit app too (or AmazMod). Be careful when you flash the ROM, make sure you know what you doing. If you've never did this kind of stuff, maybe it's better to avoid it, or you may end with a nice dull bracelet.
Could someone please explain why my NEW Xz1 phone (and Sony companion) think that I have the latest updates when according to XperiFirm much newer versions exist. Currently I have:
47.1.A.2.281 currently installed on the phone yet
47.1.A.12.235 is the latest available in other geographical areas.
Is it ok to flash this latest one from a different geographical area onto my phone ?
I live in New Zealand and was considering flashing a UK Customized 47.1.A.12.235
I would use Flashtool by Androxyde.
Would this void my warranty ?
Why is it that Sony put out updates but we just don't get to see them - who's dragging the chain here ?
And since posting the above I'm aware that two more updates have happened:
47.1.A.12.270
47.1.A.16.20
WTF is going on ? Why are we not getting ANY updates ?

You can flash firmware from other region, but you may lose FOTA update pushes, this means you can only upgrade your firmware through Flashtool or other similar tools in the future.
As for the warranty, I have no idea about it, but I have already flashed my Chinese version XZ1 to Malaysian firmware, since the Chinese firmware does not have any Google apps, and it just works fine, I also replaced the oem.sin file from Chinese firmware to Malaysian firmware in order to have VoLTE enabled.
But as I mentioned before, I lose FOTA after flashed my phone, so I have to download the entire firmware via XperiFirm and flash it manually. If you flash the original firmware without modifications, you may not lose FOTA, if you do so, please tell me!
EDIT: You can only flash firmware matches your model, so don't flash a G8342 firmware into a G8341 or other.
Hello, i did a bit reaserch in Internet to find any guide to flash the WW firmware on CN device. I saw, that on Zenfone 2 you need boot.img, recovery.img and droidboot.img. Do anybody know what for files are they? Modded or just extracted from a WW version? Probably simple flashing WW firmware on my phone will brick it, will not?
I hope that we can do it since we have tool to unlock bootloader, but I'm not an expert.

Why would you want to change to the WW I don't see any advantages to having it over the CN?. Also the CN version gets updates earlier than other models.
I just wanted to have more languages (I need german and polish - more locale app doesn't satisfy me). Other thing is that I don't wanna this all Chinese stuff like on left home screen.
