I have a developer edition (root/unlocked) Rufus. Would this be useful to share?
I finally got mine too. Following this thread
How did you check root? I asked for developer edition as well and its not rooted but its in development mode. Probably going to flash the firmware anyway but disappointed it didn’t come with root.
Looks like I didn’t get root, only the dumb ‘developer mode’. Anyone else having driver issues under Win10, as I keep getting the below error on the drivers I can find here:
Connect BROM failed: STATUS_ERR(-1073676287)
What drivers are you using?
You should be using the one click installer in the attached file.
It is also possible that they have blocked firmware read back for flash tools… But I would be surprised… 
When you say that you do not have root…how do you test this?
Have you used ADB commands to check root status?
You would need to use busybox and Magisk patched boot to enable root in the software interface but you should be able to use remount commands etc if you do have root.
Thank you! Turns out my error was down to using USB3 in a virtual machine image, Changing to USB2 fixed all the errors I had.
Which of these do you personally run? The Rufus firmware was acceptable but felt slow. But GSM and Play Store worked as expected
I prefer the Ticwris Max fw to be honest.
But be sure to keep the original firmware I have posted for you.
Some screens are using different drivers…

Thanks for the personal response!
I used the Ticwris firmware which is vastly quicker than the Rufus one, although there are multiple spelling errors which Rufus seem to have corrected in their build. The Rufus image also gave what seemed to be better battery life (but at the expense of performance). I recall some very old Android builds were best matched to specific radio’s - is this still the case?

Not in this case.
The board hardware is the same in this model and the LEM T, Ticwris Max DM100 and the Rufus.
They all have the same radio.
The only real difference between some models is the screen type used.
Hey.
Everything I flash shows me stripes and I can’t see anything and everything is black and white.
Did it happen to you?
How should I flash it? download only? with or without preloader?
I just got my Rufus Cuffs.
It’s so slow … I saw a new firmware for it. I flashed it (maybe wrongly) and now I only see stripes in my screen. I don’t know if I damaged anything or It’s just a wrong firmware.
I flashed the Ticwris v1 version and now I see it but still have those stripes.
Any ideas? 
And after I waited for 7 years …
Rufus Cuffs, hmmmmm

Just visit the firmware thread for the LEM T and the ticwris Max and try them.
It would also be possible to flash back to the original firmware as that is posted here as well.
In fact it would help if you have the details of the original firmware.
Hmmmm but it’s exactly like Ticwris and Lemfo … Bahhhh.
I am trying to flash the latest TICWRIS_MAX_V1.9_20200713_20200712_072642 rom and just stripes. don’t know why.
My smartwatch is actually Rufus Cuffs.
I tried to flash a newer version of it (don’t know why, but my version was not the latest and update said it was the latest) and then I saw those stripes.
I downloaded and flashes every rom that I found in the Lemfo and Ticwris posts and the same result happend: black and white stripes and I can’t see what’s on the screen.
Only when I did a flashing to the Ticwris V1 ROM, I started to see things.
have you tried this one: TICWRIS_MAX_V1.0_20200921W_20200922_011504.zip - Google Drive
flash it with the firmware upgrade mode

I did. and this is the only ROM i can flash and see correctly.
I even tried to flash the RC V4 rom with preloader 1st and then the rom itself and I see everything smudged and black and white.
Yes, because of the incorrect screen type.
That is why you have no OTA.
Since issuing the product the screen type has changed.
If they had sent the OTA to your device you would have had problems with the screen - as you have now discovered.
Sadly they have not communicated this to you.

But that is so weird because I have a Rufus Cuffs and the ROM is FOR Rufus Cuffs. I just don’t understand the P and D types.
I mean, the screen size of the Rufus Cuffs is different than Ticwris or Lemfo.
