a lot of problems

Hello , I commented a while ago I bought two SmartWatch DZ09 MTK6260A one for an Android phone and one for a Windows Mobile phone , the mobile windows phone work only certain things notifications for example will not or alarms and remote camera with regarding android mobile but if it works all notifications WhatsApp or any other single out white on black ugly notification shows you not only the message and the message was sent . You have a solution to these problems especially for the Windows Phone , Windows Phone the problem is that the application bt notification is not compatible with this version .

Year, I thought I had found one just waiting for me (I did, her name is Berit, but that's a whole other story), but that was for MTK6250, ours are MTK6260A as far as I know, so didn't apply at all.. :silly: The tool provided in the download might work for us however, if anyone

ANYONE??

could find a nice firmware or even somebody who have the nice firmware in his/her DZ09 and knows how to scratch it out for share (I don't know that stuff)..

You can go to my blog site... niezarmsan.blogspot.my/2015/12/how-to-install-firmware-on-dz09-mtk6260.html ....sorry i can`t post direct link,

This is the site I found (and maybe so did some of you) http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.dk/2014/08/mtk6250-bluetooth-154-lcd-watch.html Still not for us mind you, but if one of them brilliant nerds in here is watching, please help us! :fingers-crossed:

Give a search on xda for GT08 or any other mtk6260A watch, you'll find links for few firmwares (for me they were working just fine)

Note: don't forget to do a full recovery backup of your own firmware before to flash any new things on your phone!!! (I mean it, take it in a very serious way, in case of bricking, getting back your phone become a easy pie)

hey

Hillo! So i previously owned a GT08, before it fell apart. I now have the DZ09, and i like it so far! Is there a way to flash a digital watch face on it?

Thank you SO much Niezarm San, your tutorial is very fine, and the firmwares are exactly what some of us have been hoping for. Just a couple of questions:
1) (Partly based on Golem's good advice) Thank you Golem!

Does this procedure make a usable backup of the watch' original firmware, in case we want to revert i.e. if something goes wrong (or can you tell us how to do that)?
2) Code *#8375# doesn't seem to work on my watch (*#06# does though), is there an alternative?
3) First the watch seemed to connect correctly, but nothing happened (stayed on 0% when testing RAM), and now I get an error about connecting to the com port or something, possibly due to a dirty (infected) Win8 install, I normally boot to Linux and don't care to clean up Windows right now, will try with a clean WinXP on my laptop one of these days, but are you acquainted to these errors?

Again thank you, and a delayed Merry Christmas/ Happy Hanukkah/ Happy Kwanzaa or whatever makes you happy! BTW I can post direct links:
Niezarm San's great tutorial for changing firmware on our DZ09s, with tools and nice firmwares for grabs is right here :good:

1. Man, to have a full recovery backup you just have to send me the file resulted from initial readback procedure (16384 kB bulk), I can build from it the clean original firmware your phone came equipped with (most important, it is containing PERFECT COMPATIBLE drivers right for your phone for communication between central unit and simcard unit, memory card unit, microusb, display, microphone, speaker etc)
2. try *#998375#, as well to access engineer menu instead *#3646633* the code is *#993646633#, keep me informed if they are working or not
3. it looks like that the best environment is windows xp, I met a lot of people complaining about the fact that windows 7, or windows 8, because their stupid "security policy" are not installing mtk drivers putting (in secret) instead some microsoft surrogates, I have no idea where or in which panel we can tame windows 7 or 8 so that to install exactly what we have hence if you have XP is just perfect!

View attachment 3590772

Hey again! So i have this program called MTK resources editor, and some watch faces. But how do i use the program? I cant find anywhere on the internet on how? And also how could i make a digital face that i could install on it?

I've took a try and at the first sight it doesn't seem to work, we'll see if there is some use of this piece of software
Hereunder are attached few mt6260A bin background pictures I have extracted manually a week ago from a watch ROM, give it a try, it looks like the program is not displaying any preview shot hence is not able to read the picture format from our type of phone... or I'm doing something wrong there

How do i put those pictures on the watch? Sorry if i sound stupid i know not much of flashing mediatek devices...

I've checked, your software is working (didn't give yet a full test but apparently is doing its job) so do an import and let us know if everything goes right!

Ok i got the thing to work, i just needed to click all file types and then ROM but how do i save it when im done editing the watchface? And then how do i flash that to the watch?

 

[Sawmai]

In my opinion, the best app notifier is " TRULY SmartDevice". It's because may show you what whatsapp messages contains in your Dz09. Camara remote fine ok too! I hope it will be usefully for you!

Ill take a little video and show you what happens when i click import. It says pick a target file first, even though i did! I do run windows 10 so maybe thats an issue? Idk

Today I have checked the editor, is working flawlessly!!! You have a big thanks from me, the fact you find this software is a big step in customizing mtk62xx watch-phones, I have created few new "genuine" xda concept faces check the attachments)

here are the steps:
1. do a copy of the firmware you want to change (for instance rename the new containing folder <DZ-09 mod1>)
2. create a folder (lets call it <new watch faces>) and put inside all watch face gifs you have
3. obviously, start the program
4. press open (left down buton) browse to <DZ-09 mod1> , as extension select all files and select ROM - <open>
5. press upper right side <workdir> and go to your <new watch faces> folder and press ok
6. press <Pictures> upper left and in the main list from left pick which picture you want to change and click on it
7. in the right side choose the picture you want to insert and click on it
8. press upper right side button <import> if shows successful go to step 9 if not the picture you chose is to big
9. press save - it opens browser in the <DZ-09 mod1>, check ROM and accept to overwrite the file
10. flash <DZ-09 mod1> on your phone and enjoy!

Holy s**t it worked. Now i just need a digital one. If my watch came preloaded with at least one it would be easier but it didnt

The only having a digital I've seen by now is just the Aplus GV08 firmware, hereunder is the link for one I tested, working 100% flashed in our watch

Thank you again Golem_, haven't tested the codes because I realized that my watch' specific FW has a [Settings] > [About Watch] which seems to do the exact same thing.

About Windows; I normally use a "lite version" of Win8 (with Classic Menu so it can be used ) which, unlike Micro$oft's version, seems to function properly, only not when infected, however for compatibility I think XP is still unbeaten, just can't find that darned CD-ROM for the moment..

But much more important: You can do that? Would it then be possible for us to disassemble firmwares too, and maybe cook our own? Could you possibly be talked into writing a tut, and share the tools you would use?

I know this is a lot to ask, but I've learned that if you don't ask, you won't be rejected (or whatever..

).
Obviously it would be nice to be able to use each watch' original drivers, as they seem to come with different HW, but also i.e. my watch' present (original) FW has a note-writer that I like a lot, but apparently have been left out in the FW with my preferred UI, it would be great to be able to choose our own mixture of apps and functions, and maybe it would even be possible to design our own watch-faces and replace wallpapers aso. ..?

Hi there, thank you for your kind words! I have to tell you frankly that no, there is no chance to disassemble the firmware itself, its inner structure is kept in big secret and it is explainable as long as these mtk PCBs are the most wanted on the market ( the price for a mtk6260A PCB containing ALL components excluding camera, display and mic is getting somewhere UNDER $1 (one dollar!!!) so that any attempt of FW reverse engineering was an epic failure
Now, what we can do - not so much, we succeeded here to figure out how to change wakeup watch faces which is a big step for now. As well I keep working in building a script which will find/decode/change/code back any icon or background inside the firmware
I have attached a picture with my watch having installed a xda'ish face I've created two days ago, at least we can get rid easily of those ugly chinese style watches
