Hi everyone,
After hours reading posts, I couldn't find answers for my question. So I got an Amazfit Pace second hand, but it doesn't function as normally would.
The problems so far:
-power button not working
-doesn't connect to smartphone
-wifi, bluetooth, and qr code connection not available
-factory reset from watch just do normal reboot
-from PC can't unlock bootloader, can't wipe the data, can't enter fastboot.
The solutions I've tried so far: full dissasebmly the watch: no corrosion, water damage, broken cables. Downloadad adb tools, and do reset with commands like "adb shell reboot bootloader", "adb wipe reboot", and so on, but every time it just reboots normally. I've downloaded the All In One tool, but it didn't work so far.
I've read similar issues, especially with power button, but those users didn't get answers, and I'm kinda lost.
I would be really happy if someone could direct me to to the right thread, or give hints how to solve this problem. It doesn't matter how hard it is, I did similar things with phones, but this watch is really hard for me...
Thank you for reading it!

Does touchscreen work? If button and touchscreen don't work, it could be related to a wrong firmware flash, i.e. Stratos firmware instead of Pace.
You can do a factory reset with
Rich (BB code):
adb reboot wipe
But if the problem is related to a firmware issue, bad update,... it may not work.
Firmware issues could be solved flashing stock firmware using Cloner Tool, no need unlocked bootloader, if you can enter into deep flash mode with the button trick. Look for the thread in the forum.
If the problem is hardware related, problably it may have no solution.

Thank you for the reply, I tried the "adb reboot wipe" code, but it just keeps rebooting normally like a champ. The PC shows previous songs, and trainings. The touchscreen, stopwatch, timer, compass work, so I can navigate in the watch. I tried that method, just to put it in the deep flash mode by holding down the watch button and reboot from the AIO too, but after the screen lit up and waiting 3-4 secs and double press the button, the watch reboots normally.
At this point I would literally pay someone who can help me.
Edit: I ran the
Rich (BB code):
adb logcat
and while it was running a pressed the power button. It registered, but in the log file it was "'á@'á@" or something (maybe) corrupted code. Also it gave errors for the bluetooth. Here is the log file:

Look for WOS ROM, it has Verge's Alexa support instead of the Chinese voice assistant. Not sure if it will still work with latest Zepp app versions.
Recently, my PACE also had the same symptoms, without me changing anything in it.
I tried to do a factory reset, but it only reboots.
And I wasn't any smart to unpair with Zepp, now I can't do anything with him anymore.

Hello, all ROM makers, developers, hackers and advanced users.
I have a problem and hope you can give me some good advice.
Here is my sad story
You can read the full description if you want. Or you can skip it - the main question in the end of this post..
I have bought a new Sony ericsson Live! with walkman (wt19i) phone during my newyear holydays in Prague. It seemd to be working fine.
It is from rev.3, manufacture date 11/49 (mounth/week)
When I came back home and started using it, I saw that after some inactivity period (about couple hours or maybe more) the touch screen, back and menu snsor buttons stops any responsing. Hardware buttons (home, volume, camera, walkman and power) are still working. The system also continues to work as usual, so I can turn it on (but can not slide to unlock), I can hear if somebody calls me (but can not answer). Alarms, notifications and all another functions are still working.
Once or twise it started to work again (by itself, without any actions by me) but after few time the problem repeated. I was very unhappy and sure it was a hardware problem (and of course the Czech warranty does not work in Russia), but now i'm not so sure.
The phone had 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware (android 2.3.4) from the box. First of all I tried to install SE PC Companion software, connect phone with usb and make factory reset... touchscreen started to work! But soon I saw this problem again.
The next day a new update was released and installed it (firmware .62). My phone was working again, but with the same result after some time.
You shoud know, that simple softreset (or ejecting and inserting battery) has absolutesy no effect on problem. After system starts I can not even unlock it. But flashing a new (or even the same) firmware (with flash tool or SE PCC) makes touchscreen and buttons working for some time. Have no idea why, but installing ROM with CWM (even with full wipe) does not make touch working.
Then I tried to use another custom kernels and ROMs. I unlocked the bootloader with fastboot tool, flashed one of custom ROMs from this forum (pre-rooted and with CWM). Then tried to use CM7.2 ROM... then another kernel and another ROM. Official, official-based, totally unofficial. The problem was with me each time after couple hours
I thought it is because some troubles in lock screen. Tried to install "no lock" app, so my phone did not use lock... but after some time touch freezes in home screen.
I disabled screen off while charging in settings and tried to leave the phone "wired" for some time... actually it worked fine all the time, and when I dicsonnected it it was still working... for couple hours.
I tried to install "no sleep" applications that does not allow CPU and screen to suspend. But it have no influense.
I even flashed CM9.0 ICS (very) beta ROM with the same result.
If it is just hardware problem - why it solves (for some time, but solves) with flashing? If it is a software problem - why it doesnt solve with new kernels and ROMs? My brain is ready to explode.
Now I have only one last idea and ask you to help me.
The question is:
How can I use adb or adb shell comands to get more information about the problem with touch?
I saw there is some log (logcat, stderr) tools, debug tools. I saw working lsmod, dmesg and mount commands in shell.
I think I shoud get all this information when all is ok. And then get it again when touch stops working and then compare, is it a good idea?
Where exactly shoud I see? How to test or get some touch input device info with adb? Is there any item in /dev that i can explore? Or something in dmesg? Where are touch driver located and how can I check if it is working?
I have some basic linux and andriond skills, but have not enought expierence.
I very (VERY) hope somebody can give me any useful advice to continue solving the problem. Where to see, what to do?
Thank you
P.S.: and sorry for mistakes, of course. English is not my native language.
P.P.S.: i am not sure where is the best place for this question: here or in xperia subforums. But I decided that this question is not xperia-specific and can be useful for other people in future.
Anybody? I have Lenovo Yoga B6000 with touchscreen problem and will be good if anyone know how can i test TS through ADB or shell.
When I try to access the fastboot of my Stratos Amazfit it is no longer recognized by the computer. Can someone help me?
It is looping at startup and does not turn on.
I need help getting my watch back.
Thank you in advance.

I'm having the same thing.
It gets to the point of optimizing apps, then starts over. (Repeats nonstop)
Mine was precipitated by installing an apk with android commander.
The apk was supposed to contain a Doctor Who watch face.
Thanks.

Try this using adb (command line), it will erase all data on watch and restart, no requirements besides adb:
Code:
adb reboot wipe

It takes the command and "does something."
One time when it rebooted after the wipe, it only had "total 30" apps to optimize.
Another time, "total 18" apps to optimize.
Still, however, rebooted itself while "launching apps," getting back to its original "total 44" apps to optimize and the reboot loop.
I'm not particularly concerned about loss of data, since I've only had the watch a little over a month,.
Voiding the warranty (rooting) would not be acceptable, since my last resort would be sending it back to Amazfit for reset.
Thanks.

You must use the command when it finishes updating apps or it will not work (it will erase all data and restart watch), if you are on Windows:
Code:
adb wait-for-device & adb reboot wipe
If you are on macOS/Linux:
Code:
adb wait-for-device; adb reboot wipe
Other than this, other options require unlocking bootloader, what voids warranty.

Hi everyone,
my amazfit pace has stopped working, it is switched off and when it comes back on the touch no longer works. I tried to disassociate it but at the restart not working the touch I'm firm at the choice of language.
I took it on gearbest and they offered me the repair with shipping to my load (about 20 €).
Do you think it's convenient?
Is there a way to try and unlock it?
Thank you!
Touchscreen stops working if battery is bellow 5%. If it's not the case, clean it well with a soft dry fabric, turn it off then back on. If it doesn't help, factory reset again using these adb commands with watch connected to computer via USB:
Code:
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot wipe
If it still doesn't work then digitizer failed, you need to replace it.
Hello.
Is it possible to send adb swipe command to Stratos? Touch is not working and bootloader is locked but I want to upload trainings before reinstalling ROM. I already tried it but im not sure if im doing sometihng wrong or is it just impossible.
Yes, it works. Try using a remote Android controller app, there are a couple the works (they only require adb).
PS: don't get your hopes high on fixing any hardware issue by reflashing firmware, it is a mith. Unless you flashed the wrong firmware on watch and this caused the problem, reflashing won't help. If watch's bootloader is still locked you should try to contact the seller and get the device replaced Instead...
Hi,
My Stratos 3 is having a problem during the exercise.
The recording (time, distance, etc) reset suring the activity/ exercise, and start again, but the duration of the exercise start shows about 443078 hours. Then when I try to restart the activity, after doing all again, i'm not able to save (the duration of exercise is to short - message that shows).
I had reboot the smartwatch 4 times, and dind´t find anything about this.
It has already happened for 4 times, when I was running and 'indoor fitness' (1 vs 3 x)

Hello, your watch is probably on 4.2.6.0 or 4.2.7.0. Many similar bugs have been reported. No fix so far. 2 options: either you brick the watch and installed another ROM or you wait for the next fw update which I don't know the release date.

Thanks for the quickly answer!
Sorry, but what do you mean by 'brick the watch' - to reboot with factory system?
And how can I install another room? (PC?)
Probably some dumb quentions but I really don´t know haha

Like any other Android device. Basically, you need to unlock the bootloader, install ADB along with the drivers. Then, you have the choice to install a customROM or reinstall another version firmware.
This has to be done carefully and you have to know that you break the warranty of your device. it has to be done at your own risk.
Here is one example for the Statos3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/paceficator-project-stratos-3-multi-t4033223
There are other installers for other fw versions and type of smartwatch Stratos, Verge etc...
Don't jump in such operations if you are not sure and familiar with Android environment, even though I am and I succeeded thanks to the perfect installer from Saratoga79.
You still have the option to wait for next fw release, but I don't know when it is being released.

Ok! Thank you very much for the information. Probably will help more people as well.
Same problem for me.
I read on another forum that you can avoid such problems by turning the watch on airplane mode. Does anybody have tried here ?
hello,
not yet, where did you found this trick? does someone can confirm? i'm on 4.2.5.0

unlock your watch, and flash 4.2.5.0 rom on it, and NEVER update, that should do the trick.

I've been using it a lot since my last message. In ultra mode, I had no issue so far.
The airplane mode seems to have no effect.

Yes, it seems to be a good solution, for experts users who have enough time to spend to achieve the config.
Setting ultra mode is easier for users like me.

I eventually downgraded my stratos 3 from firmware 4.2.8 to 4.2.5.
I had a little ""unfortunately, Health has stopped" issue, solved by a hard reset.
Now, I have to test the watch while running, I will let you know.
