I bricked my Lemfo Lem5 smartwatch after deleting a downloaded watch face while it was it use. I tried to get to settings but it would not let me so I booted the watch and it wouldn’t get any further than the Lemfo logo on the startup screen.
I followed a tutorial on youtube where this guy describes how to flash firmware for a Finow X5 watch. I ended up getting the Lemfo Lem5 firmware sent to my email from Lemfo support and they also sent me the SP flash tool. I downloaded the latest drivers for MTK drivers while my laptop was in test mode. The first time I tried the flash, the yellow bar completed 100% and the green checkmark box came up. In the youtube video tutorial the guy says once that’s done you can disconnect the watch and you would be able to use it as normal.
My watch got worse because now it doesn’t even boot up or turn on the screen stays black. When I connect it to the laptop the watch connects then disconnects and when I try to flash the firmware again the download progress bar turns red, goes to 100% complete and then an error message DRAM pops up and the watch loops by connecting and disconnecting on the computer while the screen on the watch stays black.
Lemfo told me to return it to the seller for a refund but the seller already refunded me and did not require me to ship the phone back since it woukd have costed more to ship it back than it did to buy the watch. I’d like to get it working again I ended up buying a Huawei watch and I want to get my Lem5 working then sell it.
I called a few computer and phone repair stores in my city and no one offers smartwatch support so I’m on my own here. I’ve tried taking off the back plate, detatching then re attaching the battery wire connection and still the screeb remains black.
Your help is greatly appreciated! Hope to hear from anyone regarding any solutions!

did you follow the right instructions? did you make sure to remove the v mark from preloader? did you make sure that the rom is a stock and not an update? what do you mean the laptop was in “test mode”? are you sure that mtk drivers are installed? what about usb mtp? make the whole process again.
