Lemfo Smartwatch Development

If there's User2Root menu item available, then you can switch on/off root at any time.
If I understand you correctly, User2Root must be configured hours?
Or I did not understand correctly? How can I put there ROOT?
User2Root is an option under the "Log and Debugging" tab in the engineering mode application. The application is launched using stock phone app and dialing *#*#3646633#*#* . But not all devices have such option and I still don't know if it is available in Lem4/DM98.
The DM98 smartwatches are only OS android 4.4.2 not 5.1 hence why you cant put a photo on your phone number with stock app. You could look up a third party app for this watch and install it on your watch. I think "True Phone" app can allow picture to phone number. Root with KingoRoot here https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/ . Adrian.

Thanks to everyone for their help. Root has set, remove all not required. From these hours I expected more. Who opened the debate about cheating buyers. All the same, I want to get a watch with Android 5.1

who knows how to put the firmware? I would like to conduct an experiment, to try to put the firmware 5.1 by DM08

Look at the forum 4pda
Due to the HUGE battery consumption, I decided to change KingRoot to SuperSU. Maybe I killed some of the services from King, that I started eating the battery so much, and maybe everyone (write about this on 4pda), in general, he started dropping the battery for 1.5-2 hours. They write that King supposedly does not allow the processor to fall asleep, because of this zhor.
This reason also became a search for the next method of root, because Super-Sume did not work with this version of King. Super-Sume, this is an application that changes KingRoot to SuperSU (who often makes a root, knows what kind of application it is.) If you do not know what it is, you can read it on the link. In general, I found another way Ruth and it all worked. But, I did a general reset of the Android. I installed everything from the "clean sheet". But I think you can and with the "dirty" try. : Yes2: By the link everything is described, there will be no meaning, but there are several nuances. Because we have a small display)
Installation KingRoot 4.5.0 B202 BETA went quietly, received immediately after the first restart. Then he did this: Installed Super-Sume Pro v9.1.9, immediately rebooted. Then I launched Super-Sume Pro v9.1.9, I poked it in a big blue circle (this is how the process starts in this application), nothing has changed. A few seconds later, King's request for permission to root-access Super-Sume Pro came out. Confirmed rut, again silence ... After a while, there is an alert that the type "level first passed, level two begins." The program in two passes makes the task. The first puts SuperSU, the second pass removes King. I poked in the confirmation like or the second lvl itself began, in general the request for a root already from SuperSU has got out. Then SuperSU asked to update the binaries and after reboot received the root.
In general, the program Super-Sume Pro is not visible from the screen for any processes, you just need to poke into a blue large circle and wait. I waited for 20 seconds. If everything went right, there will be two requests for Ruth's permission, the first from King, the second from SuperSU.
Now I have a full root, with SuperSU installed. If anyone is working with King and nothing has changed for the worse, leave it and do not suffer. All the same I hope that this is only me, an isolated case. Because as much as King I used to rant machines, there was no such thing.

Lemfo / DM98 Smartwatch
So far I have read several discussions and forum and I have watched several videos on the Lemfo Lem4 in DM98 which are virtually 99% copies. I found that several vendors claim the smartwatch comes with Android 5.1 when but in reality it is only 4.4
. Also no great success to install Android 5.1 ... If you succeeded successfully, could you show us using a video. Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.Don.t forget button savior app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey.nonroot&hl=en ( a great app that is missed buy many) a must have on this device. And may even replace your Virtual soft keys as a better option. It even has a button to turn of screen built in and can hide it to a small arrow. Adrian.

Update on my DM98. In Australia the DM98 supports 3g and data through HSPA because all providers or network carriers use the 3g band 2100mhz here. This is the only 3g band this watch supports. Phone calls are crisp and clear better than any smart watch I have had previously. (including the high end watches like D6, Q1, X5+ ect... DM98 has much clearer reception. 3g data is amazing being able to stream 720p movies from Show Box and internet. Great signal strength around -70 dBm/-75dBm outdoors/indoors respectively. Skype works flawlessly through data or wifi even in video mode thanks to it's nice built in front facing camera. All in all this is a great smart watch phone that I will be hard to replace any time some because of it's nice big screen and exceptional battery. I don;t even use a smart phone now. Just DM98 and Tablet. Adrian.

Thanks very much for your post. I was silly enough to use KingRoot to root my DM98 and found same battery problem and slow performance. Once I installed Super-Sume and followed your instructions, which can be hard to do because of little screen, and with a little patience it removed KingRoot and replaced with SuperSu. Great Stuff. Thanks again. Adrian.
I have the DM98 with Android 4.4, its an off brand from ebay but it's pretty much like then Lemfo 4. I used Kingoroot with Kingo SuperSU, I have had no battery issues. I get about two days of battery usage with it installed .Root access is great and Root Explorer works as it should and I can mount R/W just fine. I have yet to use it as a phone though.

Yeah Kingoroot seems to be fine but Kingroot is a different root app that should never be used as it drains battery life and has a lot of adware and slows down performance. Therefore must be removed and replaced with supersu using Supesume App. However even with Kingoroot when you charge the watch you see its adware on screen and reports show that it will slow down watch after time and is not recommended. But at least you can uninstall Kingoroot. Kingroot won't unistall and your stuck with it unless you use the supersume app. Adrian.

Do you mean something like settings doesn't work and you have to factory reset. If this happens it usually means stage 2 of supersume process did not complete. Adrian.

I recently got my DM98 from Ebay. I don't mind trying to dump the ROM. I haven't used SP flash tools, but I can figure it out rather quickly. I can't even boot to recovery using ADB. Everytime I enter the reboot recovery command, it reboots into the first recovery screen with the android logo and just sits there until the battery dies. It will not go any further, nor will it restart until the battery completely drains. Today and tomorrow I will mess SP Flash tools when I get some time between the other things I have going on, and see if it is even possible to extract ROM.
That would be fantastic if you could provide a basic stock rom to flash. Yes it seem when we go to recovery mode the information does not fit on the screen or can't be seem and there are no up and down buttons to select an option even if it did. Like you I am working on this problem. Adrian.

Usually when you boot to recovery there are two screens, the first one is the android with the triangle or whatever and then the next is the recovery UI. My DM98 boots into the first screen, with no zooming issues it seems. but I can never get it to go to the next screen with the recovery options. I would boot the DM98 to tell you exactly what I see, but I don't want to get it stuck in recovery right now before trying to dump the Rom. I have already begun downloading/installing drivers and spflash tools. I will try to dump it sometime today instead of tomorrow. I am curious to see if it will work.
Then I will work on recovery. There are alot of tutorials on creating CWM for MTK devices, so Im gonna start reading up and see if I can get a version of CMW to install.
rom dump
Well the dump is complete and I am uploading the folder to my Google drive now. The upload will be complete in about in hour or two. I did the dump following the post on this link https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-526.html. I am pretty sure the end address is correct when extracting the files using SPflashtools. I then processed the file using MTK Droid tools, so every thing has been exctracted into a folder. If you would like the original file from SPflashtools let me know and I will upload that as well. Please download the folder/files and mirror/share somewhere else, so that I can delete the files in a week or two from my Google Drive. I do not use any other file sites, so I will need to get the space back eventually.
As soon as the upload is complete I will either update this post, or reply with a link to the folder. ENJOY!!!!
Update:
Below is a link to a unrooted DM98 android 4.4 backup. I pulled an image using SPFlashtool and extracted the contents using MTK Droid Tool. This is NOT a flashable rom. This a folder with all data extracted from the partitions. I am not responsible with what you do with this in any way. Use At Your Own Risk.

The link below is for the backup from my DM98 unrooted android 4.4 firmware, that was obtained by using SPflashtool. Please use this file at your own risk. I do not know what will happen if you flash this on to your device, nor do I take any responsibility for any damage you may cause by using this file. I have not used either of these files yet, so please make sure your are sure of what you are doing.

I accidentally ordered the Android 4.4 one, what i really wanted was Android 5.1.
Had no problem rooting the 4.4.
I really like this watch, specially battery life but the way the storage is partitioned makes it difficult to really get the most out of it.
As is explained in another thread, you only have about 601mb of space for installing apps (and most of that space is already filled with stockapps) and about 2gb of space for storing your files like music, video and photo's etc...
If i could find a way to re-partition the storage space it would really be a winner for me.2
Do you use ADB or an app like SSHelper?
If you use ADB:
- enable USB-Debugging in Settings > Developer option > USB-Debugging
- start adb on your pc: adb start-server
- connect the watch to the pc via USB
you must enable USB-Debugging on the watch:- adb devices
- adb shell
you get the shell prompt like this
shell@vanzo72_we_72_kk:/ $
- type: ls /system/xbin
you get the content of the folder /system/xbin,- if there is, then type su
check there is a file with the name "su"
maybe when you do su you have to answer Yes on the watch to allow access to root. Make sure you check the box below it that says do you want to allow it every time and then you won't have to answer that again.
If you use SSHelper:
- start wifi
- start SSHelper and get the IP and port number:
- on your pc open a ssh terminal (e.g. putty -ssh -P <PORT> <IP>)
putty -ssh -P 2222 192.168.170.200If you got the super-user root privileges, the prompt changes from $ to #, if not, your watch is't rooted!
- login as root with password admin
- type su, then on the watch Kingo SuperUser ask to allow: press allow
Good luck2KW88
