Anyway to enable the steps counter, sleep, hrm, and GPS back on? - Amazfit

About a month ago everything was working perfectly normal. Until I got sent a notification to update to 1.3.3a. What happened was that it got stuck during the update process. Despite waiting for 3 days, when the watch eventually died off it was still stuck at the updating process. To cut long story short, after over a month my bricked watch got revived thanks to Neuer_User.
Now here are my problems. Everything stopped working except for Weather, and receiving notifications. When I tried to record a run, it states that AGPS is expired and it needed to be updated via the App. I turned on the APP, nothing happen despite the watch was still connected to the phone. I skip that process and tried to use the GPS, it just wouldn't lock into the location despite standing in the middle of an open space.
Same thing goes for the Step Counter (not working), sleep (not tracking), Heart Rate Monitor (green flashing light doesn't turn on). I tried flashing to both English and Chinese firmware didn't help either. I couldn't use the update package version 1.3.3a that was uploaded on another thread, cause it would give me back the same problem where it would get stuck in the updating screen.
So I was wondering if there is a way to manually turn these features on via adb or somewhere I can look into to get it updated to 1.3.3a via flashing method instead of updating it.
Thanks!

Sounds tricky.
Did you made a factory reset? You should try to clean as much as possible of the internal memory. Don't know if there are adb commands to wipe data and so on. Unpair the Pace from smartphone and clean data of the Amazfit app. Then flash from scratch PACEfied or other stock ROM, but better with open bootloader and root, to have still all possibilities.
If the hardware is still ok, this should lead to re-enable all sensors.
I guess Neuer_User is one of the experts for such issues.

Why not just install fully the English version from my thread "convert to English"?

Yeah I forgot to include that as well. I've already did a factory reset and fastboot erase data. It still didn't work. I couldn't the PACEfied Rom because it uses update method. The problem with the watch is that, once it goes into update mode it will get stuck and wouldn't proceed.

I've already tried that. But unfortunately it wouldn't work as it uses the update method which will results the watch get stuck in the update process like what is shown in this video I did. I tried requesting for a replacement but my seller is not being responsive at all.

Once while updating from one version of Pacefied to next, I (and few others) had a problem of getting stuck the update loop. When I say loop, It would go into update process, finish the update and reboot, only to go into update process all over again. The below is what I did to get out of the loop. Not sure if are having loop situation or a update that does not finish...
I also had the issue of the watch getting stuck in update loop. I was updating from Rel 5 to the "New" Rel 6 (Update not Full Install).
After couple of update loops, i issued a Reboot command from adb shell. It did not help, as the watch rebooted into recovery again and started the update again.
As a next step to break out of the update loop, I went into fastboot (adb shell reboot bootloader) and did fastboot continue to start normal boot. This worked, and the watch rebooted normally, did the usual app optimization (for 46 apps) and started. From watch info, I could confirm that the watch was updated to 1.2.11.

Just to clarify: Did you try it, or do you believe it will not work as you had the problem with the official update? (The video is only showing the official update if I am not mistaken.)

Oh man... The fastboot continue worked pass the upgrade loop. And it updated to 1.3.3a finally. But unfortunately everything else still does not work. Anymore ideas?

Yes I did try with the pacefied rom.. But @madtech360 solution worked by using fastboot continue method worked for me.. But despite flashing both original and pacefied roms, the watch features are still disabled. Not sure what else is there for me to try.

Anyone care to do comparison?
Just trying my luck to see if anything is missing from these few selected files. Could someone check theirs to see if it matches?

Hi,
I am not sure if you are currently on US Version or Pacified. There is a Watch Self Test that is available in the Lab of Chinese Rom. It runs a test of all hardware.
Settings -> About -> Lab -> Start Self Test
If your accelerator and Gyro don't work, your steps, sleeps cannot be tracked. I suppose you have already mentioned, you Heart Rate sensor is not working. Please wear the watch when you run the test.

---

Does this test work for you? It doesn't matter if I choose first or second option. The only thing I see is the battery values and the step after shows some numbers with red background. That's all.

Currently on US.. I'll try flashing it to Chinese later to test the watch. but under the US 1.3.3a firmware there is PPG capturing when I tried running it, it just crashed.

If you select the first option (which translates to Test PPG), the watch will perform the below tests in the order listed
Battery Test
Heart Rate Sensor Test
Magnetic (Compass) Test
Pressure (Barometer) Test
MIC Spectrum Test
Vibrator Test
If you select the second option (which translate to Test All), the watch will perform the below test in the order listed
Battery Test
Heart Rate Sensor Test
Battery Consumption Test
ADC Battery Voltage Test
Magnetic (Compass) Test
Accelerator Test
Gyroscope Test
Pressure (Barometer) Test
Ambient Light Sensor Test
LCD Test
Vibrator And Backlight Test
MIC Test
Wifi Test
Blue Tooth Test
GPS Test
Battery Charging Test
ADC Battery Version Test
Apart from the test list and order (which i got by looking at the code), I have no idea how the test is performed and what determines success or failure.
I also get stuck in the Heart Rate Sensor test (with three numbers and Red Background). During retest (by clicking the circular icon at the bottom), by lifting the watch slightly off the wrist and moving it a little , i am able to get past the test. However, i get stuck at the Wifi Test and it does not go past it.
In some tests like Mic, LCD, you need to click the screen or swipe from left (to go back) and indicate success or failure.
The test is also supposed to create a log file in the /sdcard folder, different log file depending on you selected first option or second option.

That's the wrong lab. You are in Huami Lab, but you have to activate the real lab by tapping 7 times the serial number in about screen. Then you will find the lab as last entry in the about section.
PS: No chance to pass the HR test. Tried many times on skin, in air, on white and black undergruound.
Can you post the numbers from HR test, that are valid.

Here is a little video showing the HR Test passing..by moving my finger a little behind the sensor..
Also an image showing the passed value
The logic that is used to check the success or failure below:
Code:
private boolean isPPGOK(int[] results) {
int diff1 = results[1] - results[0];
int diff2 = results[2] - results[1];
if (results[0] < 1500 || results[0] > 4000) {
return false;
}
if (results[1] < 2500 || results[1] > 5500) {
return false;
}
if (results[2] < 3500 || results[2] > 7500) {
return false;
}
if (600 > diff1 || 600 > diff2) {
return false;
}
return true;
}

---

Damned, with a finger little bit above the center of watch the HR test was passed. Thanks!
As you wrote, the wifi test shows only "..." and nothing happens. But in the signal strength test it fails as well, even I'm connected to an AP.

As it seems this features comes first with CN ROM and is missing in latest US. Then your options are limited.
You could reopen your bootloader, if it's closed, and install PACEfied.

After flashing back to the PACEfied firmware. I went inside lab, and tried on both options. Only managed to test the battery life, and the 2nd test failed I believe the moment I press the next button.

I encountered the same problem. After flash ROM 1.3.3a to 1.2.29 dev
