Sp Tool set to Dowload Only or Format All + Download ?

Sp Tool set to Dowload Only or Format All + Download ?

SPTool default is "Download Only", so all you do is open SPTool, select the scatter and hit the "Download" button

Hello,
trying to flash this on my No1 D5, but when the watch shuts down and the download progress begins, I receive an error "PMT changed for the rom; it must be downloaded". Am I doing something wrong?

Try it with the scatter file attached to this post. Also try flashing only the system, boot, and recovery partitions.

I tried the new scatter file, and I also created my own scatter file through MTK Droidtool, I get the same error. I also unticked everything, and tried flashing on BOOTIMG, RECOVERY and ANDROID and I get the exact same error.

Right, so it may have been a wrong version of SP Flash tools. I was using version 5.1524.00.000 and I kept getting that error message. I downloaded version 5.1352.01 and it appears to be flashing fine. I am using the second scatter file.

Didn't think about folks using older versions of SPTool. Seeing that was the case, then the scatter I uploaded is irrelevant.

Following all the carfuffle with SPTools, the firmware was finally flashed succesfully. Haven't played with it yet apart from hooking up to WiFi. First impression is the Weather DOES work!!! It downloaded the weather for my location within 5 seconds. I will continue playing tomorrow and post back feedback.

This rom is for NO. 1 D5 ?
Apn can be set manually ?

It's for ALL W812a smartwatches. This includes the No.1 D5, K8 Mini, X1 and any others. You can edit the existing APN but not create a new one.

Thanks for your work!

Do you plan to add option DT2W (double tap to wakeup) ?

Hi, seems very interesting.
Got 2 questions however 2 things hold me from flashing atm:

Can you write a short how to backup and get back to original (incase of warranty issues)

Did you solve the problem with wifi mac address changes (maybe it is me who just didn't see it in your list of enhancements)

Weather is working fine here on D5..

I've tried over a dozen DT2W solutions, not a single one of them work. So the chances of that is pretty slim.

Back to stock is a SPTools flash of firmware which has been covered in the respective device threads.

I have not implemented a mac address fix as of yet, wanted to make sure the base is good before I start serious digging.

Your weather is working on stock D5 firmware? I'm surprised. I've repeatedly had it fail after 30mins straight of trying over BT. Even tried it over cellular with the same results. Flashed the Mini firmware and it updates in less than a minute consistently, flash back to D5 and nothing.

Fine work. Before flashing the new firmware, I made a backup of the original.
