You have to uninstall all instances (sort by name) in order for it to work.

I went in to usbdeview and removed all instances of the MediaTek USB VCOM (Android) driver (using "Uninstall Selected Devices"). I don't know what else I need to remove. I get the same results every time - first a MediaTek VCOM driver is loaded and the flashtool downloads the DA, then I get the sound of a USB device being inserted and the MediaTek device disappears from device manager and it begins looking for a USB driver. The USB driver fails with no driver found and that ends everything.

Then you should check your cradle pins or battery terminals for a solid connection. That's the only other issue I can think of.

If you have an extra cradle you can try this. A bad data stream will cause the same error.

re: 512/4 stock firmware

Disregard..I just updated to 0527 by flash instead.

I have the 512/4 EU model where the "secret code" "worked?!" for google play. Can someone upload the stock firmware with preloader and all. My backup was incomplete. The firmware posted here is for the US model.

Thanks!

Kuronosan - You da man!:highfive: It's alive (mostly)! I'm not sure what exactly did it, but I tried changing everything - computer, battery, backup (I had made three of them), USB cable and cradle. I also checked the pins on the inside of the back cover and found that I could see indents for 3 of the pins on the connector in the watch but the 4th didn't seem to connect. So, I loosened the screws and tried holding the connector slightly different and re-tightening them. Anyway, it is now able to download successfully!

Now, the problem is that it is stuck at the boot screen (I tried two of my backups - one was of Loki's EnSec and it stops at the screen with the moving lines and the other is the stock 20140120 and it stops at the "Omate truesmart" screen). Any idea how to get past this? I've never worked with flashing ROMs at this level, so I don't even know how to troubleshoot it and will need to be pointed to good directions on what to do next.

Thanks!

What unit do you have again?

What unit do you have again?

I have the US 1/8 1900 that came with 20140120 on it.

After I posted last, I tried a full backup that I had downloaded way back when I originally put on Loki's EnSec. This backup had cache and usrdata in it and my backups don't for some reason. After flashing that, it is all booting and working fine. I am wondering if I messed up the usrdata or cache partitions and that kept it from finishing the boot process.

So, one question, how do I get those partitions included when I make my own backup?

Anyway, again, thank you for all your help on this!

Give me a little time and I'll link you to everything you need.

1) Try right click on the installer and uncheck compatibility mode to windows XP, that should allow you to install the window 7 driver.
2) Also I had to manually click the download button on SPFT before plugging in the watch, then the flash process will start. See if that works for you.

BINGO worked for me... using window 8.1, my watch is flashing right now

Hi,

Could you re-upload your firmware (US 1900Mhz 512MB) I can't seem to access it from the link you provided.

Thanks

 

[kuronosan]

There is no US 512.

There is no US 512.

Kuronosan, when I try to download the tools needed to flash your rom my Vrus protection tells me it is infected ("All tools" zip file, if I remember correctly). I suppose this is a wrong warning?
Also, are there any "safe" unrooted ROMS available? My company policy does not allow rooted devices for their email, but of course the original rom is all but safe....any comments highly appreciated!

 

[kuronosan]

Where are you downloading it from?

 

[peacey3]

There is no US 512.

When I made the order that was what they said they are shipping to me.

I can't check now since I soft bricked my device but I know that I have 4GB of internal space.

Also I am trying to download the original firmware presented in this thread (the site doesn't seem to allow me to download the .zip)

Thanks

 

[kuronosan]

I'm sure there was a mistake, because they did not manufacture any units for 1900MHz that had under 1GB of RAM.

Did they have 1GB / 4GB capacity models? or only 1GB ram / 8GB storage?

Alright. I'll update the links tomorrow.

I tried a few times but didnt work for me.
Tonight going to try again since i've seen the video how to do it.. :good:

I was wondering if there is a rom / tool that can remove the skin so on the phone is just a plain android version. ( like on a phone )

** edit: works great! bought mine 2nd hands and they f*cked the watch so now its super.
