By the way you should specify which region, because there is a difference.

The flash tool was downloaded from MTK site.

If you want to maintain it then I'll go ahead and delete the preexisting x201 SPTools flashing guide and firmware archive.

Will this process undo having flashed Imperium?

UnBrick Guide for Omate TrueSmart Watch (x201)
Last Update: 02/08/2014

Your Now back to FULLY Stock Omate and you have been Un-Bricked!

THIS QUESTION IS TO ANYONE ABLE TO HELP ME:

Omate 1/8, received this past week in the US. Currently flashed to Imperium v1.1.0, but botched the second step to retrieve original backed up IMEI and the 1900 Baseband... and now can't even get in to MTKdroidtools to fix this.

Forgive some newbie questions, and if there are better places to direct this, could you point me?
My questions below can be answered singly if you do not know the answer to the others.

BACKGROUND: Learning that the TrueSmart was unprotected, I flashed the Imperium, but then screwed up (I think) by backing up the newly flashed version on MTKdroidtools, (which I imagine might have overwritten information from the initial backup?). Later, in trying to reenter the flashing setup, I did something wrong, because now it sends me a note of a few words in a strange foreign script but ending in ABD! If I click it or try to close it, it bounces me out, such that I cannot get back in to the MTKdroidtools program.

GOALS: I would like to accomplish three things:
1) to reenter on my device my correct IMEI(s). I have the single IMEI number that came written on the device if I can find how to reenter it.
2) to return to the most recent version of TrueSmart until Imperium is sorted out
3) to add any patch as needed to make safe this version of TrueSmart, if it is not

QUESTIONS:
1) If I carry out the steps you listed above, will this return me from Imperium to the most recent version for the TS?
2) will my IMEI return in doing this or will I need to find a way to manually reenter it, and if so, how?
3) is this version above already patched (if I am putting that right) or do I then need to add a patch & if so could you point me in the right direction?

finally,
4) IFF it is necessary to get back into MTKdroidtools, can I hard reboot my watch, download anew the Imperium zipped folder and would this get me by whatever mistake I made that sent me to the "odd foreign script ABD!" That is currently preventing my entry?

(I feel like I felt as a small child when I fell asleep on chewing gum and now have it all over me. )

Didn't realize there was an existing guide. Let me check it out, my guide might not be needed unless you would like me to maintain it? Anything work's for me.

The only difference is I have not had time to update the ALL Tools zip with the new SPTools version and don't specifically link any given firmware. I'm not only deving on the device but acting RC for all the x201's as well. Pretty much everything is indexed in the [INFO] Everything thread.

Understood Lokifish. I will go ahead and delete this guide. Feel free to use anything from it before I do Sorry if I step on any toe's!

Thank you Kuronosan for pointing it out. I really did not realize there was an existing guide out there for Omate TrueSmart Watch. My fault.

 

[Lokifish Marz]

Understood Lokifish. I will go ahead and delete this guide. Feel free to use anything from it before I do Sorry if I step on any toe's!

The main issue is we STILL don't have a dedicated section so even what should be a read first sticky like the INFO thread keep getting buried due to there being a ton of other Android smartwatches sharing this forum. I'm trying to keep the info thread at least no more than 48hrs out of date so if you come up with something, check that thread first.

In short. No toes stepped on, just multiple guides covering essentially the same thing is going to add to the already insane levels of confusion.

 

[kuronosan]

No, your guide is nice. Just search next time.

Dedicated section for Omate / x201

The main issue is we STILL don't have a dedicated section

I kept forgetting to ask you this question: "Where or who must we been lobbying for a dedicated section on the forum?"

Thank you! Sorry again. Thread will be deleted.

Perhaps you all could join forces instead. There are so much things to do and so few people to do it.

Now that US backers are receiving their watches, good guides like yours will be desperately needed.

Official New device forum requests thread.

Actually if he could pull the All Tools zip and update the drivers and SPTools that would be a big help.

Sure. I can update SPTools but not sure about driver's since I'm using MT65x3 USB VCOM drivers. Dont think its the same.

 

[kuronosan]

Just include all vcom sets.
