@pablo11 If we wanted to root this update, is it possible to unzip, replace the boot.img modified with Magisk, rezip and flash using the same method? I ask because I’m not sure if this watch has any signature checks or what. I tried to flash a modified boot.img with SP Flash tool but I could not due to PMT not being correct.
I’m new to MediaTek and SP Flash tool so not sure if this is due to me modifying the boot.img or due to the tool thinking the partitions dont align. I want to say it is not the latter as I made sure it was the same in the scatter file but again, I’m an SP Flash tool newb.
In general I prefer to have root just because. But mainly so I could use Magisk, some of the modules if necessary and for AFWall+ but I also like having full shell access to my data folder.
Regardless, is there a method of rooting that WILL work? A thread somewhere here on the forum? I searched but couldn’t find one.
Hi all - Beta testers needed
Install is same as the others.
If coming from stock branded FW, please use v1.0 before you try this or any other FAW updates.
Feedback about the launcher and power consumption is much appreciated.
BETA Thread moved to here
Yes, that’s why it is an update.zip.
Must not be unzipped.
Copy to storage and use the update app, just like the previous version.
In fact there is no difference between v1.0 and v1.1 apart from security.
I still recommend that you use it though because in the future, security will be important.
Nope. Google Fi is not a “plug and play” type of a SIM. Once you install it, you need to use the Project FI application to activate it on the watch\phone. If you try to activate it on the watch, the Project Fi application will tell you the hardware you are using is “not supported”. The SIM WILL work without the Project FI installed or activate, but the watch gets hot and the battery drains. I think the SIM continues to invoke the Project Fi app in the background to activate and is unsuccessful. I don’t recommend it but would love to figure out how to use it. the plans are great, especially for data-only SIM addons!
Did some more Project Fi testing. Here is the trick to get it to work. Install the sim, install the Project FI application on your watch. turn on data service, launch the app and sign in with the Project Fi google account. The application will configure the APN on the watch but it will not successfully “activate”. once you receive the unable to activate, error. uninstall the application. Reboot the watch. every time you turn on data service, the watch will notify you to install Project Fi and activate the sim but it’s only once. Disregard it. The sim should work and the battery drain will be normal. If you leave the Project FI app on the watch, the data will work but the battery drain will be significant and the watch will run very hot.
v1.0 and v1.2 updated in line with the release schedule.
v1.0 includes a mandatory factory reset coming from stock
v1.2 brings your device up to date security.
If you need to downgrade for any reason you must flash stock firmware with SP Tools.
Hi Pablo,the file S10PRO_LEM_C15_EN_V1.7_20210121.zip is an old one ? I guess you mention it in replacement of the FAW-LEM15-V1.0.zip which crashes with the last stock firmware release ?? If it has been generated on the 21st of January, may be it is not really up to date compared to the stock firmware I have ? Thanks,what is your planning for the delivery of à New faw release ?
@pablo11 I seem to be having issues with steps being displayed on V1.2 I thought it might have been related to the lift to wake function as I could briefly get it back on watch faces when toggling this on or off.
FWIW I have tried 2 factory resets since the FW upgrade.
But mainly so I could use Magisk, some of the modules if necessary and for AFWall+ but I also like having full shell access to my data folder.
