Amazfit app problem
Hey guys! Many thanks to The PACEfied team I unlocked my watch bootloader and change it to English and also get the OTA update but I have 1 problem. Everything works fine on the watch and app but when I want to select in notification part on app which apps will send notification app crash and restart itself. So I can't select the apps I want and it is not about the version of app because I try v1.1.6 to v1.7.4.2 and also chinese app to english app. I select a few apps and notifications of that apps work just fine so there is no problem for notifications. Only problem is on selecting apps on Amazfit app. So couldy you please help me to figure this out? Thank you very much in advance.

Can I use this on Amazfit A1602 version 1.2.37h?
I tried it, but got an error while trying to root the device:
C:\adb>fastboot boot boot-CN-adb-root.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (remote: ED: The command is not allowed.)
finished. total time: 0.067s

Hi, forgive my ignorance. Been trying to no avail.
Follow instructions from:
gitlab.com/Neuer_User/PACEfied_AmazFit/wikis/permanent-install >>not allowed to post links.
I am stuck at Step 4.
I have pushed the files on to the watch. Watch is fresh out of box, China version.
What do I do now, please? I read the instructions in Link1 and Link2 but do not understand it.
Please help.

I seem to have somewhat done the conversion. The days and date seems to have become english. But the other items are still in mandarin. Is there somewhere I have gone wrong?

54BREAKING NEWS:
Huami took down the files from my hoster because of "alleged copyright infringement". I got a notice and an information that the files have been deleted, as well as that any further copyright infringement will lead to termination of the account and possible legal activities.
UPDATE 23-06-2017:
I updated the files to version 1.3.3a and reuploaded them to a different fileshare. (Let's see if they will be taken down again...)
UPDATE:
This is a new conversion method based on the techniques I used in my PACEfied installer. It will install the official Huami English firmware 1.3.3a with all features and OTA enabled. It will, however, NOT lock your bootloader. So, you have some time to evaluate, if you like the official ROM, or prefer to go to the PACEfied ROM.
NOTE: AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE AND INSTALL AN OFFICIAL OTA AFTERWARDS, YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL BE LOCKED AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SWITCH BACK.
ATTENTION: THIS METHOD ONLY WORKS FOR WATCHES WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER (Huami started locking in official firmware 1.2.13 / 1.3.2b and upwards).
INSTALLATION:
This method uses the same installation procedure as PACEfied. Please find all information here: https://gitlab.com/Neuer_User/PACEfied_AmazFit/wikis/permanent-install
Downloads:
OFFICIAL ENGLISH FIRMWARE 1.3.3a: https://app.box.com/s/3io4m4zk7775x3vp80yw19l52slk6sxs
NOTE:
It is recommended that you factory reset the watch after installation, as data from other ROMs may lead to force closes of apps. You can do this either by unpairing the watch or in the settings / device menu of the watch.
DISCLAIMER:
While this method is pretty safe, there is a chance that you may brick your watch (so far no case known). YOU DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible for any damages, psychological problems or wars emerging out of you converting your watch.9Possible fix for OTA updates
Here is the probably working fix for the non-working OTA-updates:
- You must have root access for this. Download this file and follow the included instructions to get root access: https://mega.nz/#!wd1iBBBY!e4jKYeUcH7TfcCSmyjpHJCK2uA2FvNTrzrwPuooHc6Q
- Then download the following file: https://mega.nz/#!MM9zHIYR!zBrM7G1sGk7wXT6bw__NHaGLyFZEr9pfCc86R804uKI
- Extract the file on your PC and push all files to the folder "/sdcard/" on the watch via adb. (e.g. "adb push install_recovery.sh /sdcard/" etc.)
- Then enter adb shell. You should see the "#" showing that you are now root.
- in adb shell enter "cd /sdcard/; sh install_recovery.sh"
- After this has worked successfully, OTAs should work.
). But this should fix the problem.
Please report the results.7
I will give xiaomi some time to update the English version. If they don't care about the US Pace version and stay at the old firmware, I will consider starting a project transferring the English language to the Chinese version.6With the help of Neuer I was to flash my smartwatch with US Image!
I had some problems regarding android drivers while running fastboot and adb steps, this is how I solved them:
if fastboot is not detecting your device just download/install Google USB Driver at:
https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb.html
Follow this guide on how to install the driver:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/3/
After booting into the modded recovery, adb was not detecting my smartwatch. All that i had to do was to go to "Step 35" of the previous guide and install the "Android Composite ADB Interface" driver and everything started to work again with ADB.
Big thanks to Neuer for his amazing hard work and patience! He did it! Also big thanks to everyone that provided useful information for this to work.5
With big aid CrazySammy We did make dump version 0.9.5.0 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2kU38I-wWYJWDh0VW1paFRpaGs?usp=sharing
