Is there anyway some talented firmware maker/coder could make site with translation strings and make it possible bip fans to translate bip to their native language? as I know how to flash firmware, but got no clue how to make one, But I could translate bip ui from English to Finnish language.

Could you please translate the 8 steps from the YouTube video from Hindi to English and post it here. That would be great as I need to convert the AmazFit Hip of my brother who obviously ordered the Chinese version of the watch and not the international version.

Thanks

Thanks to my colleague from Aurangabad I can now provide the English translation for the needed steps to change the language from Chines to English:

Friends, In this video I have told how simply and with the easy steps we can convert our Amazfit Bip CHINESE version in to INTERNATIONAL (ENGLISH) version.
Amazfit Bip is one of the best budget smart watch and is available in 2 variants, CHINESE & INTERNATIONAL.
Out of the box both comes with CHINESE but once you sync with MIFIT App automatically the INTERNATIONAL version will be converted to ENGLISH.
To convert the CHINESE version we use one modified version of firmware which changes the HARDWARE ID of our watch for the INTERNATIONAL version.

Before following the steps kindly update your watch with the latest firmware version i.e. v1.1.5.04, for successful conversion process.

STEPS : (Valid for v1.1.5.04 ONLY)
1.*****Sync your watch with MIFIT App
2.*****In the MIFIT App set DISCOVERABLE to ON and UN-PAIR the watch
3.*****RESTART the Bip watch and Android Mobile
4.*****Download and extract the FILES from below mentioned LINK and then install the GADGET BRIDGE.apk in your Android Mobile
5.*****Switch on the AEROPLANE MODE, BLUETOOTH & LOCATION SERVICES in your Android Mobile and connect BIP watch to GADGET BRIDGE App. After connecting it, click on the 3 dots and check your “HW ID”.

If your HW ID is : v0.11.1.4 then select File: "Mili_chaohu_CE_1.fw" for doing an update.
If your HW ID is : v0.11.131.5 then select File: "Mili_chaohu_CE_131.fw"for doing an update.

1.*****Load your appropriate firmware file to Android Mobile and by using File Manager open it in "FW/App Installer". Once it opens then click on the Install button.*
2.*****Start your watch again and click on “FACTORY RESET”
3.*****In the GADGET BRIDGE DELETE the old paired watch and again RE-PAIR it. As soon as PAIR Process completes then your watch will be converted to INTERNATIONAL (ENGLISH) version.

NOTE:
FIRMWARE UPDATE is one of the RISKY process, If not properly done then it may cause damage to your watch. Me and My Channel is not responsible for the damaged watch.

Hello, Out there.

Is there someone who can download the bip files from 4pda and myamazfit and upload them somewhere else? Especially the cn-ce files?
For me it is impossible due to limitations.

Thx!

Hi, i want to translate bip in other language...how can i open the .fw file? Where can i find a guide?

Thank you so much flotux and Aurangabad for this! Finally, after searching high and low for a solution to change my Amazfit bip Chinese version to international version I finally found it! It really didn't take that long and everything worked as described.

Just one update: After I did this I uninstalled Gadgetbridge and opened the Mi Fit app again. It immediately repaired my watch and updated it to the latest firmware (v.1.1.5.12) of the international version. Still all in English. So, if you were worried that repairing with Mi Fit will change it back to Chinese, you can safely go ahead and update the watch and it will stay English.

hi there, how can i translate to Portuguese - Portugal ?

 

[Danilolmathias]

I bought one but the Chinese version of it, how to put the English version in it? The firmware is in version 1.1.5.56

 

[ALWA7SH6]

hi
how i can add arabic version or language plz?

 

[Qidamin]

Any way to go back to Chinese firmware? my Bip now always update in French but I am in China and have lost all the Chinese characters!

 

[XM-SE-Kon]

Hi,
Can anyone help me to change my AMAZFIT BIT from Chinese to English?
I have tried different menthods using GB and 1.1.5.56 Latin Buidls, but watch screen is struck in "Connect to APP for update" even if it is connected to GB in background and I receive app updates but I cannot use the watch except from the screen "Connect to APP for Update"
And when I connect to MiFit then the watch is updated automatically to Chinese version and the watch will come back to life.

Anyone suceeded in making this work?

 

[DDTDDT]

Is it possible / recommended to downgrade the firmware?
Reason: 1.1.5.56 doesn't work well (see /r/AmazfitBip/comments/cl9rqs/activity_tracking_started_crashing_after_recent/ on reddit), with 1.1.5.36 everything was fine.

 

[Qidamin]

Would it be possible to extract fonts from the GTR/GTS models and flash them on the bip, as it seems to be the same OS? I still need the Chinese characters, but fonts in GTR/GTS have the accents we use in French language, so that accents would not be displayed as a square with a "?" inside.

 

[Smojo268]

Which files should be flashed?

On the Gadgetbridge git wiki (https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Amazfit-Bip-Firmware-Update) they talk about flashing Mili_chaohu.fw, Mili_chaohu.ft, Mili_chaohu.res, Mili_dth.gps.
I wanted to flash 1.1.5.36 to get German language support (äöü ...). As far as I understand this is included in Mi Fit v4 APK right.
If I download a v > 4 APK there no Mili_chaohu.* files anymore but a lot of other .fw and .res files. (chongqing, hankou, etc. ...)

Can someone tell me what I have to flash or at least the exact filenames?

Thanks in advance
