the steps that you need to follow are this
1. Active the developer options on the watch
2. Active the oem unlock
3. Active the USB debugging options
4 Buy a doungle CM2
5. Install the drivers for mediatek devices, you can find in some part of this forum: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-38456-page-2.html

6. Instal the software infinity box miracle ll
in
7. Go to the flash option

8. Download the new firmware, is in some place of here, this forum, (Is this : 4G_H19_S999_EN_V0.9_P_user_20220611)

9 put the scatter file when you will make a format flash with infinity box cm2

10 Once you have installed the new firmware, do the steps again 1, 2, 3,

11 Return to infinity box and make a click on platform and select firely.....

12 Go to service, make a click on unlock bootloader or something that sound like this, then conect the watch, the watch need to stay shut down, off

13 Only wait to infinity box tell you that the bootloader is unlocked

14 download ADB tools

13 IS IMPORTANT INSTALL IT IN LOCA C:/ of your computer, not USB or other disc or storage space, if you not make that, the proces doesn´t work

14 Follow the codes of my video tutorial
or you can use actrapit upgrade 2 file only to obtain the codes of adb

15 You need to download a ROM, in this ocation de rom is a system.img file, you can download here. https://magiskzip.com/gsi-list-phhu...6sZMz3D9C8t9D5_qVSHO7_NH4nuOC7vddUd5MWyqiGDxI

16 Once you have downloaded the ROM, you must paste it into the folder where all the files you downloaded from ADB tools are located. (ALSO CHECK THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE FILES THAT I SHOW IN MY VIDEO inside of the adb tools folder)

17 Open adb tools WITH POWER SHELL (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, If you don´t make that maybe you can´t continue)

18. put all the codes that I put in my video

19 Download flash tools... (Is the software that I show you in the video)

20 follow the steps of the video and thats its

THIS SOUND DIFFICULT BUT IS EASY I THINK :D

Alright after I finally found the free time to get back to the watch I managed to unlock the bootloader using the live usb for MTKclient in xubuntu and the command

python mtk da seccfg unlock

with that I Dumped the boot.img and the vbmeta.img for backup

after which I used ADB to reboot to bootloader and used Fastboot to flash CorvusOS

Corvus_vS4.0-Leviathan-treble_arm64_ab_vndklite-Slim-Gapps-Official-0149.img to be exact

I also tried the LeOS-VNDKLITE-arm64-bvS-19.1.img but I prefer to have GAPPS on my devices if I can

however now that the ROM is on my S999 I figured out that if I set any type of lock screen whether it is a PIN Code or anything I can't get the device to boot again once it restarts, I have to use the SP Flash tool to clear the EMMC_USER to wipe all user data and the mtkclient can no longer see the boot partition or any partition in general, I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of that cause I'm scared to try other ROMS if I can't at least user the mtkclient to erase a partition or even flash another ROM to boot if I can't get into the fastboot mode anymore.

Also I still plan on getting the Dongle for infinity box I just got to wait until I get the money for it.

I advise you to change ROMS and try, for example I used CORVUS 12 and when I went to the start, to the home of the launcher in landscape mode, the screen sometimes got stuck or took a while to appear horizontally since it was displayed a bit vertically, that didn't work for me. I don´t liked it, also, I didn't have the google apps either, I also used a spark os ROM and it worked great but the device overheated, the one that worked best for me was this LeOS-VNDKLITE-arm64-bvS-19.1.img (By the way, I have a video tutorial where I teach how to activate all the google apps, since by default only some like google translate, lens, etc. work, but in the video I explain how to use all of them like Gmail, drive, maps, youtube, task, authenticator, all except Google assistant, I still can't activate it)

If you could share the way to activate the play store on LeOS I'd be more than happy to switch back, I tend to get a lot of apps from the play store, also if I could set a pin on the device that is also good and the OS comes rooted which is a plus, I just do a lot with the play store is the only reason I'm using corvus, I'm too nervous to try any other OS but those to since the mtkclient can no longer read any partitions on the watch.

Si pudiera compartir la forma de activar Play Store en LeOS, estaría más que feliz de volver a cambiar, tiendo a obtener muchas aplicaciones de Play Store, también si pudiera establecer un pin en el dispositivo que también es bueno y el sistema operativo viene rooteado, lo cual es una ventaja, simplemente hago mucho con Play Store, es la única razón por la que estoy usando corvus, estoy demasiado nervioso para probar cualquier otro sistema operativo, ya que mtkclient ya no puede leer cualquier partición en el reloj.
Here is the video is not google Playstore you can use all the apps of google except google asistant y google playstore, but you can download other app store like amazon or apk pure and many others:

Hello,
my cell phone (LOKMAT APPLLP Max) is unfortunately caught in a boot loop. I had first flashed the image Corvus_vS4.0-Leviathan-treble_arm64_ab-Unofficial-1513.img successfully, but I did not like it.
Then I flashed the image LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-a64-bvN.img, but I had forgotten the command
Bash:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.bin
beforehand. Can this be the reason? How do I get out of the boot loop again?

Hallo,
mein Handy (LOKMAT APPLLP Max) ist leider in einer Bootschleife gefangen. Ich hatte erst das Image Corvus_vS4.0-Leviathan-treble_arm64_ab-Unofficial-1513.img erfolgreich geflasht, es gefiel mir jedoch nicht.
Daraufhin flashte ich das Image LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-a64-bvN.img, hatte aber vergessen vorher den Befehl
Bash:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.bin
auszuführen. Kann es daran liegen? Wie komme ich wieder aus der Bootschleife heraus?

When the battery is empty, do you enter fastboot mode?
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can discharge the battery quickly. I do not want to damage the innards.

Wenn der Akku leer ist, kommt man dann in den fastboot-Modus?
Leider sieht es nicht so aus, als könnte man den Akku zügig entladen. Ich möchte die Innereien nicht beschädigen.

Brief feedback:
It is running again. When the battery was empty I started the program mtkclient, connected the phone and restored the backup of the original system partition.

Kurze Rückmeldung:
Es läuft wieder. Als der Akku leer war habe ich das Programm mtkclient gestartet, das Handy angeschlossen und das Backup der Original-Systempartition wiederhergestellt.

Hi,
you flashed the wrong Image (LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-a64-bvN.img)!
A LeOS-20-VNDKLITE-arm64-bvN.img is needed here.
But since your mashine is running again you can figure out what kind of image you need after installing the Treble check App.
 
@Actrapit: What needs to be changed in the LK partition and how to get rid of the Orange State?

@Actrapit: Was muss in der LK-Partition wie geändert werden, um den Orange State loszuwerden?
Several search results show a lot of information about LK-Partition, so .....
On this mashine i never changed the LK-Partition, i decided not to complain about the short message at boot!
I remember someone here on XDA wrote something about a HEX-Editor is needed for changing the LK-Patition.
Try search for KOSPET OPTIMUS2 here at XDA.
Also very good Information you can find at Hova***k
Maybe at the LeOS Community you will talk to Harvey or others that have more expirience about this Procedure editing the LK-Partition and flashing it afterwards.
Have a nice day
Einen schönen Tag noch!

Hello guys, i open this thread as an open discussion about the S999 Smart Watch device which is working great !!
S999 (MTK-6761) maybe branded as:

- Lokmat APPLP Max
- JingTider S999
- BEESCLOVER S999
-...

I was able to get latest SP fLash Tools Firmware from Lokmat Support (V9-regular S999 for all devices) that can also fix imei/device ID...

Here is the link:
4G_H19_S999_EN_V0.9_P_user_20220611

I was able to one-click unlock bootloader using mtk-client (only works for me under Linux, but Windows Version available):
MTK-Client

Also, i played with some GSI ROMS flashed with SP Flash Tools, a lot of them works! But also a lot of them get both of the internal microphone/bluetooth headset activated so this results to an horrible "echo" of my voice during calls. Please someone can fix this?! or give a workaround?

The only rom i found that 100% works (no echo in bluetooth mode, but need to use Firefox for browser video playing) is Corvus OS A12 Official (i'm not an android dev so maybe you guys can found what makes bluetooth headset working with no echo in this rom and not in the others). I don't want to use A12 Rom i would prefer A10 or A11 but with bluetooth working!!!:
GSI ROMS List

Also i tried to port recovery to TWRP with no success, again, maybe you guys can port the recovery to custom one for this device?!

Here is the stock recovery extracted from stock rom above:
S999 Stock Recovery

The Corvus OS Rom is working great on this device, altought you need to pull off the sim card ("OK" button for sim code cannot be reached) on first boot to change DPI size (around 400).

Also after some charge/discharge cycles battery drain seems to be ok (maybe better than stock), but i'm also looking for a good "overlay" file/script to get this device working as best as possible, can someone do that?! (if you need something from stock rom .zip or SP Flash Read Back partitions/files i can provide it...

    @laarSn @kudicini l know you guys are busy, but can you please post a screenshot of the S999 watch's homescreen or maybe sum more fotos how it looks ? Thanks in advance

    View attachment 5828415View attachment 5828417Hi These are some of the screenshots,I actually didnt do any modifications, didnt really have time to play that much with it, initially i ve bought it to use while on work, for teams, but still havent used it, it was actually turned off for the last month or so haha

    Anyway, I m using Microsoft Launcher, I find it really great since I can use it in horizontal mode, which is the only natural way of using this device since the width is too small and you re anyway gonna be using it while on wrist (for most stuff). I ve set no lock screen and instead use button to lock/unlock which makes it more similar to smartwatch. The big clock you can see is actually one of the clocks from the original image, since I ve figured out the original clock images on the original image are just live wallpapers, so you can actually use it on your custom rom also, however the multi functional clocks work partially, depending on what you click and also any clock image using heart rate monitor will fail.

    If you want heart rate monitor I ve also found one app that actually works on this device, but personally I dont really use it. For the above mentioned problem of horizontal rotation, i am using autogyro app which works pretty well.

    Hi, i ve also been playing with the same device. Currently running android 10 via crdrom rom. Works pretty okay although i havent tried out sim card functionality.

    However i do have an issue, which im thinking could be hardware or MTK decided to do it, so i wanted to ask you of that also happens to you. So basically on all the roms i have tried out including the stock one, auto rotation doesnt work. Although i see accelerometer values using a sensor test app, but there is a orientation sensor from mtk which is always showing 0 and my autorotation just doesn’t work.

    Did you experience the same? Also did you manage to find a trick to use heart rate sensor running custom rom?

    Little tip: if you want to have the stock watch faces, you can extract these from the stock rom or in the worst case i can send them to you and then install them on your custom rom. They are essentially just live walpapers.

    My setup:
    -Crdrom android 10
    -Using autogyro to manually change rotation to horizontal
    -Microsoft launcher for app drawer, looks great in horizontal mode also
    -Installed stock watch faces and set lock mode to none so i get the same functionality as on stock

    Hmm,
    the owner of this Thred might help!
    He did it successfully.
    I did it with a different Method long time ago....
    It´s CM2MT2 and the Dongle for it.
    Yes, i payed for, but i love it because it is just working perfect and very simple too.
    A simple description in the attachment, but i don´t know if it will help you!?
    On what maschine you are working, Windows or Linux?
    If Win you like to check the Drivers for the Watch in the Devicemanager of Windows there don´t has to be anywhere a yellow triangle.
    If so a Driver is not correct installed. Until the yellow trinagle persists you have to troubleshoot and solve this first!
    1
    Thanks much!

    I did get it to connect using the method you described and SP-Flashtool. Too uncertain of what to do next to make any changes. It still doesn't connect to MKT-Client.
    If you can try with a live usb linux (ubuntu or something else)
    Device powered off i only type:
    python mtk e metadata,userdata,md_udc (errors allowed)
    and
    python mtk da seccfg unlock

    then connected my device...= Instant unlocking

    I also experiment trouble to get this device up under windows, go Linux
