Brand new Stratos 3 - update firmware from 4.2.0.1 - Amazfit

Hi all,
I've just got new Amazfit Stratos 3, paired them with the phone and didn't do anything else. When trying to go into the Settings-General, getting the "Unfortunetly, Settings has stopped".
Tried to update Firmware, but when checking on the phone or on the watch it says that it is uptodate: 4.2.0.1.
So how can I fix the Settings error and how can I update from 4.2.0.1?

I have the same problem

i think they're going to push a new firmware because 4.2.6.0 is no more available since this WE.
you can manually push the 4.2.5.0 (last stable) to your watch for the post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/fw-tool-stock-global-international-t4031153

really I must be an IT engineer to do it? is not easy, unlock the watch and push a new firmware.
is not possible other option like the "update firmware" button?

No need to unlock bootloader to upgrade just copy the OTA file to your watch then run the command to launch the update.

Hi, same problem like @karabel, received today my Stratos 3, no french language??, and the problem with the General menu, tried to go into and got the "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped".
I have updated the firmware 4.2.0.1 to 4.2..6.0 and all been fine . Now General is accessible and all languages are available.
Thank you a lot @Saratoga79 for your support!! I like all you do for these smartwatches!
Ps: Could add in the download folder file Stratos3 a stock_firmware_adb_root_init.d_supersu for this watch as you have done for the PACE ? Many Many thanks!

Hello all!!
I had the same problem, I bought an Stratos 3 with two days ago with Firmware version 4.2.0.1. with no Spanish Language. I have tried to update to a newest version following the instructions said @Saratoga79, but now my watch isn't working. It shows all the time in the screen 'FastBoot' an some Chinese words... I am really desperate, I think I have broken the clock ...
Anyone can help??

Bricked Amazfit midong / cor ?

Hello there!
I upgraded my midong to the last CN firmware by mistake and I tried to downgrade to 1.0.5.60 English using notify&fitness app
The process was shown as completed and successful, but my midong is working with a black screen and it doesn't connect by Bluetooth.
Anyone with the same problem?
Is there any way to soft/hard reset and install fw again?
BLE Scanner detects the midong but its unable to discover services/connect
Thx guys for your help! :crying:
The black screen is because the correct file is missing (thats no problem)!
But have you tried with a few devices? Maybe your main flash device has a bluetooth mac adress conflict?!

Did you get any solution to the black screen. My amazfit cor stucked in this black screen after a firmware downgrade, and It does not connect through bluetooth.
Hey I have a similar problem too.... black screen, oddly I can see it via Bluetooth but cannot connect. I am at odds on trying to figure out another way to send the missing file. Any other ideas on this?
mine got stuck while trying to do its own update, it keeps trying to connect and appears like it does when you accept the prompt on the screen but then the app kicks it back and says it didnt connect...its 2 weeks old and they have no solutions for this ?

Mine also started doing this yesterday. I've had mine for 6 months now. Wonder if it was maybe some update that caused it? Have you found a solution yet?
Solution
After upload a watchface i also got the black screen
For me the solution was open mi fit go to profile/amazfit cor\display settings\ make any change in the items order and save

Exactly same problem here. It did its own update in March and then can't pair it up to updgrade or downgrade anymore. Bricked.
Working again
So my Amazfit Cor is working again. I let the battery drain (almost took 2 months) and after the restart, the pairing worked again.

AMAZFIT pace 1.3.8a : no activity nor GPS available to choose

HI EVERYone,
Since i did the update 1.3.8a with my Amazfit Pace I can no longer access to the activity widgets... there are no activity offered! Just remains the step option... it does not even record the KM
Did that happen to one of you? Do you have any solution to fix this ??
Thanks a lot
Very old firmware, INTL version is already in version 2.8..3.0 (WOS2)... Why didn't you update? You may need to use an old version of Amazfit and reset watch's data (unpair and pair again, but do not restore old data to watch when pairing again) if you want to keep 1.3.8.0.
OH Ok... i had it for Xmas and when I turned it off for the first time it asked me to put on this version , I had no idea...
i did not understand your advise for pairing/ unpairing.. may you have a tutorial or anything likely that could help me to proceed this way ?
Thanks a lot !!

Simply update to latest version, and also make sure you have latest version of Amazfit Watch companion app on phone. With time, you should find/realize what is/how to unpair and pair.

Fix Amazfit Verge Lite

Hi everybody. I need some help..
I was update my Verge Lite on Notify and Fitness app. I dont know how it happened but it couldnt finish update. I tried 3 times for update again but it couldnt. Then i deleted mi fit, Amazfit app and Notify&fitness app for try again but after install all apps i have a big problem..
Mifit or Amazfit offical app recognize my watch but it failed to try pair. There is some note in Turkish like factory reset. But i cant pair with offical apps. And on the watch screen i can see only "Please open the app and select check for updates on the watch pageto continue update". Also notify&fitness can pair but there is 2 ways i have to do for work Notify&fitness. First way pair with offical app (i cant do this) and the other option is auth key for "no mifit app" option. I searched for that but i think there is one way for find the auth key is ''freemyband''. Freemyband wants pair with an offical app. I cant pair with offical app how can i do that?
I'm lost Please help me. I dont want buy a new watch.. Thank you all and sorry for my bad english
Edit: I fixed my verge lite with helps of @Fardeenansari21. We worked on so much but it was very easy. If your Verge Lite bricked like mine just put into charge dock while pressing button and it will open again.
Hi @10ore, good morning from Spain.
I've got a Verge Lite chinese version and i'm looking for a firmare or trick to get it in English or Spanish. Is it possible? Do yo know how?
In fact I could load a global version and the watch connected with the Amazfit app but a "Please open the app and select check for updates on the watch page to continue update" message appeared. With your proposed solution, I could put into charge and press the button to move between options (in English!!!!) but i haven't found a solution to avoid this semi-bricked message yet. Can you help me? Do you know any solution?
Also, if I connect the watch with the official Amazfit app, it updates de firmware to the lastest official version and the message "Please open the app and select ..... continues forever....
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
My Stratos 3 is having a problem during the exercise.
The recording (time, distance, etc) reset suring the activity/ exercise, and start again, but the duration of the exercise start shows about 443078 hours. Then when I try to restart the activity, after doing all again, i'm not able to save (the duration of exercise is to short - message that shows).
I had reboot the smartwatch 4 times, and dind´t find anything about this.
It has already happened for 4 times, when I was running and 'indoor fitness' (1 vs 3 x)

Hello, your watch is probably on 4.2.6.0 or 4.2.7.0. Many similar bugs have been reported. No fix so far. 2 options: either you brick the watch and installed another ROM or you wait for the next fw update which I don't know the release date.

Thanks for the quickly answer!
Sorry, but what do you mean by 'brick the watch' - to reboot with factory system?
And how can I install another room? (PC?)
Probably some dumb quentions but I really don´t know haha

Like any other Android device. Basically, you need to unlock the bootloader, install ADB along with the drivers. Then, you have the choice to install a customROM or reinstall another version firmware.
This has to be done carefully and you have to know that you break the warranty of your device. it has to be done at your own risk.
Here is one example for the Statos3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/amazfit/paceficator-project-stratos-3-multi-t4033223
There are other installers for other fw versions and type of smartwatch Stratos, Verge etc...
Don't jump in such operations if you are not sure and familiar with Android environment, even though I am and I succeeded thanks to the perfect installer from Saratoga79.
You still have the option to wait for next fw release, but I don't know when it is being released.

Ok! Thank you very much for the information. Probably will help more people as well.
Same problem for me.
I read on another forum that you can avoid such problems by turning the watch on airplane mode. Does anybody have tried here ?
hello,
not yet, where did you found this trick? does someone can confirm? i'm on 4.2.5.0

unlock your watch, and flash 4.2.5.0 rom on it, and NEVER update, that should do the trick.

I've been using it a lot since my last message. In ultra mode, I had no issue so far.
The airplane mode seems to have no effect.

Yes, it seems to be a good solution, for experts users who have enough time to spend to achieve the config.
Setting ultra mode is easier for users like me.

Hello again, Yes, you can download Notify & Fitness for Amazfit(Green Logo), You Download from here (XDA Developers) a previous version to downgrade, and when you complete, you run again Zepp oficcial, for update.
If the downgrade can't complete, select to update from notify, and choose stock firmware!
in many cases can't update correct to the latest firmware.
Also If you have mi fit in the phone, uninstall it, because the devise gets confused with both (Zepp and Mi Fit) and if you have the magiacal unicorn Zepp Edition, you should have the online update setting on.

I had the same problem in 2 cases, but with notiffy and after some tries, it managed to downgrade the fw file, and when I connected in zepp it updated the fonts succesfully.
But it took over 3-4 times in each case through notify.
Hello, could you let me know the version you used to downgrade and where I can download it.

I don't have mifit, I had zepp aex 5.4.0 and the watch on version 1.3.7.17. Trust when I tell you I have try everything. Downgrade all version, install all app version since the watch came out, and nothing woks. I use notify and fitness to do does downgrades and always fail at fonts, I had some luck getting the phone to work, but I went crazy and did the update to the Last version and then again the problem with the fonts. Open to suggestions
well, i guess its the end, after the new update 1.3.7.17 i cant dowgrade to any version. always fail, im trying to downgrade to 1.3.4.14.
News, I managed to get the watch in to home screen and use it with all functions. The problem, I can barely see the screen, it's a glitch I think, I can unly do this with the charger connected and sending two notifications to the watch and pressing the power button. I can use the watch and do everything but when I disconnect the charger or leave it for a time back to "please open the app and select check for updates". Trying to do something new I'll be posting soon.

As you describe it, there are many issues to the device, there is a chance to be a faulty device.
Contact huami if you are still in guarantee.
for the one case I rolled back the firmware, the problem was that it didn't updated the fonts correctly, and the screen was going on and of instantly, but when I managed to rollback, and update the new firmware successfully , the problem was corrected.
Also when you go for official last update (if you rollback) choose official Zepp, Not AEX or Magical unicorn's.
And Don't disconnect the device from app or bluetooth, while the hole procedure (All files) are updated.
Also you can download a previous official version of zepp, and it will update automatically the firmware that was distributed on the specific version of zepp

thaks for the reply. i have this in mind, i can downgrade to any version with notify and fitness, maeby if i go to the version when the problem happens i can manage to update the firmware. ill give it a try.
Can we stop the Zepp app from auto updating? When I last opened the app it instantly triggered my watch update without warning me. The worsts part was that my battery was low near 10% which is very risky.
My condition is worse than yours...
I'm also stuck on the same screen as in the picture you sent & I can not install anything.
If I try to update anything or even upload a design background to the watch, I get an error message and the watch restarts. :crying:
