Hello there! I hope you can help me, I've been using my bip for almost a year and I was very happy with it. I installed the app notify and fitness and I was using that instead of the mi app, so anyway I regularly installed custom watch faces, long story short I installed a new watch face, my bip got stuck on "updating software" turned off and is not turning on anymore... What can I do?
Try connect it to a charger.

Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to read.
I bought my Bip back in February and it has been a joy to use. About 3 weeks ago I opened the MiFit app and it said as it often did that there was a new firmware and proceeded to run an update. It had done this many times before without a problem. This time however when returning to the watch it said "Connect to APP to update". I tried connecting it to the app but each time I pressed tick on the watch the phone gave an error that the connection was refused. I checked the Amazfit support pages and followed the suggestions of rebooting the phone, forgetting the watch in the app and then in the bluetooth settings on the phone but the problem still persists. I tried it on the wife's iphone to rule out my handset but got the same error. The watch is not visible in the bluetooth settings of the phone.

Since then I have tried on an Android phone and got a bit further. With Android I can pair through bluetooth but when running the MiFit app I get an error that the connection fails when trying to pair up the watch. I then installed the "Notify and Fitness" app which does see the watch however on attempting to update the firmware or resources it fails at 98-99%. When using the tests in the app I can get the watch to run a heart rate test and vibrate. Also if I flash with a chinese res file then the language of the error also changes.
I have tried using the two alternative methods of update, new and old firmware but to no avail. I have also tried doing this without the MiFit ap installed and firmware updates through gadget bridge.
One last thing to try is for the battery to run down and restart the thing but I am still a week at least away from 0% and Have been trying to fix it for a fortnight
Do any of teh gurus of XDA have any tips or suggestions of what else I could try?
Thanks in advance!
Any solution in 2019 using iphone?
Hello.
Did you solve this problem?
I found solutions but they were wrote more than a year ago...
And all of them used android phones to install new (now old) firmwares, but I only can use my iphone...

I let it run down helped along by repeated vibration tests but eventually after about 3 weeks the thing ran out of juice. Charged it and started it back up and it booted up fine, it has been fine since! great little watch but really needs a hard reset button.
Good luck
Hi,
so today i've got the Amazfit BIP, but it's not working.
The problem is that i can't pair it for the first time.
After i've downloaded the Mi Fit App i wanted to pair the watch and i'm stuck on the pairing screen with the green and the red button. The watch doesnt react to any touch i'm making.
I've already tried the other apps like GadgetBridge and NotifyFitness, but it's always the same.
Is there a way to restart the watch?
Thanks for your help!
1. press the physical button to enable the screen touching
2. press the physical button longer(like 10 seconds or more) to reboot the watch
Hi there,
thanks for your reply.
But this does not work.
Nothing happens, just the backlight goes out
So you have to wait until the battery is down. I can't find another solution
same problem here!
i have the same problem; albeit mine is a new one.
i purposely have it unpaired; and thought "re-pairing" Amazfit Bip with my phone would solve the problem.
I was dead wrong. And now I'm stucked.
The phone were able to "see and recognised" the bip watch. However, the "Green" affirmative button cannot be confirmed as the touchscreen is NOT RESPONDING!
hi there,
i returned my watch and got a new one.
this time it works without problems.
Recently my Amazfit BIP automatically updated and it stoped being able to connect via bluetooth.
So I tried to reset to factory settings and now the Amazfit is frozen an its screen only shows the icon of connecting the watch to the smartphone, and it's not possible to stop this process.
I've tried to use different apps to connect and although they can find the watch, they are unable to connect.
Have anyone faced a similar situation?
Wait till it drains out en then start it up again. U should see the pair to device icon
Hi,
Its only been 5 days that i am using my new amazfit GTR 2 watch connected with Oneplus 7pro.
Since yesterday just this is showing on the watch (see attached file)
I just dont understand what to do..
I have tried uninstalling the app.. didnt help. Disconnecting reconnecting via Bluetooth did not help soft reset did not help. Cant hard reset the watch since its showing just this arrow..
Update starts V5.2.11.1 but when it starts it ends after saying UPDATE CANCELLED. MAKE SURE YOU ARE CONNECTED WITH THE APP.
JUST CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT TO DO
See if this thread helps.

Try to start charging the watch first.
When full try again.
Or you can try to start it, while it still is being charged. Sometime that helps to.
