Neme77 I want to thank you for your wonderful enhancements to the Smartq Z watch, especially google stuff and the nicely-iconed sttings list.

Yes, I finally have my Z back after the Italian fiasco.( details of restoration on Tablet Republic site) It is real shame that people with new computers( 64 bit and win8 and win8.1 cannot use them to restore their watches. I borrowed a 32 bit xp laptop and after many failed attempts got the job done. It was worth it as this watch is a gem.

Now I just have to box up and send back my ZGPAX that arrived dead as a doornail and have a replacement modded by BigBison.

How did you manage to restore your watch?? I can't manage to do it at all, the JZ4775 gets recognized but the driver won't install in XP because unsigend drivers

You need to make sure you are in the correct mode when connecting.

Unplug watch) boot completely) use power button to shut down) once the watch, is off, connect to pc) when you are ready with tool and drivers, hold power and back button for eight sec) XP might give you two alerts, first a disconnect and then a connect alert) after second alert, Nand burn driver should install.

Be sure to remove any previous failed driver install remnants, prior to the above process and reboot.

After various attempts with two Windows 8.1 64bit laptops, i formatted my second one to Windows 7 32bit and it worked like a charm... apparently the 64bit drivers are borked. Thanks anyways :)

I've recently installed V3.1 and overall like the new look. But I'll definitely be installing this over the top of it to give me more functionality and remove chinese apps. Is there any way to get the old watch face back though?

Thank you Neme77 for your work...

2 questions:

1) I read on Smartdevice site that installing new 3.1 rom is impossible to install again a previous version of the rom simply copying "update.zip" on the device. Wiht your rom is the same? Could I install back v4.0 firmware from Ekoore without pc restoration tool?

2) would be nice to have some screenshots of the new interface, I googled for it but no results...

Thank you in advance!

Just a reminder

You can't use Z Assistant with this rom. Instead you must use the nearly identical Go Watch from Google Play or your bluetooth sync won't work.

Will a 4.1 Italian firmware work on chinese-based Smartq?

Yes friend, you can connect manually the watch...

- Make your phone avaible for all bluetooth device
- Launch Z watch assistant and remove previus accoppied devices
- Search the phone from your watch and connect....

Some metod work with Gowatch sybc too.......:eek:

... In the first page you can download 2 version of rom: Italian and Original

I tried to pair my phone to the watch with the Zwatch Assistant app and it won't pair- then I uninstalled the Zwatch assistant and downloaded the Gowatch app from the Play Store and it won't recognize the watch either... What is the difference between the Italian and Original Chinese versions? I like the ROM so far but it doesn't do much good if it won't connect to my phone :(
I will try the Italian firmware tomorrow. It's very difficult for me because I have a Windows 8.1 computer that won't recognize the watch- so I have to borrow someone else's computer every time I want to install a new ROM.

    ROM Install step by step without Z1 flash tool.

    hey ,tried flashing multiple ROMs and now updated to V2 ,everything installed flawlessly.
    1.Factory Reset before flashing (once its complete you may result in a bootloop ,if yes then hold power button for few secs to reboot and it will work.
    2.Copy the update.zip to the root of your /sdcard0 (check if your download is in full size)
    3.Apply the update.zip via Firmware upgrade
    4.Once booted into new ROM, repeat step 1. to be sure that all the APKs are shown.
    5.Your watch is upgraded ,enjoy!
