By the way I managed to flash Zeblaze Thor rom mod by Vell on my finow x5 with everything working, i can install apps and so, only google play and google services are missing. If someone wants to have this fw i can upload it and share with you.
Yes, please share. I have been stuck on a hardbricked x5 air for a couple of weeks, and will try just about anything atm.
Can you give me the details of the firmware which was on the watch when you got it please?
Most of the links are disabled for this very reason.
Different ram and screens used.
Cheers
The device was in freeze mode and i had to repair firmware without knowing about the previous version. I tested several firmwares, but none of them have the ability to modify the touch, even the custom firmwares, you can see uploaded hardware details on the mainboard image

Yes, as I said before - the information we need is in the firmware version detail.
I’m guessing that this means that you didn’t take note of the original firmware version before you started flashing firmware?
I am curious to understand why you started flashing firmware?
Or did you purchase it in this condition?
Unfortunately, either way, this is going to be extremely difficult because the solution provider (Finow) did not keep their old firmware when they stopped.
They no longer make Android watches and maybe don’t even exist anymore.
So the only firmware is when I have.
Can you at least list which versions you have tried already?
This could help me identify the touch panel version.
Are you certain that this is an X5 Air model?
What makes you think it is definitely the “Air” version…?
Hello and thank you for your reply,
As I said before, I could not access the device details in any way.
Because the device suddenly turned off and could not be turned on by any method, I had to perform the firmware download method.
Device is X5PLUS
Hardware (lable on the board):
W618 V1.0
w618-11-2018010501
X5S0 64+8G
Failed Versions (that are not successful):

I’m not sure how I can help you.
We don’t know what the correct firmware is.
You have flashed custom firmware that will have changed the original partition layout (almost certainly).
Do you actually know for sure which model you have?
Is it an X5 series 1?
X5 Pro?
X5 Air…?
It’s difficult to help with such little information.
Yes, exactly Device is X5PLUS, and this is written on the label inside the back frame of the board, which I have uploaded. Did you not see the picture?
Ok thanks.
I’ll get the various X5 Plus versions I have (if I have them) and I will give you a link by message, to download them.
I hope we can help with this situation.
By the way, you will probably need to fix your IMEI and the wifi & BT Mac addresses after flashing.
It’s very possible that the custom firmware versions you tried have wiped the NVDATA partition. We’ll just have to see what happens.
You will need to use the firmware upgrade option in the flash tool. If you don’t, it’s very possible that you may have problems after flashing.
I’ll let you know when I have got the files ready.
Cheers
I have linked you up with the X5 Plus FW I could get.
By the way, you should update your Gmail account as it is no longer correct.
Good luck with your watch
