I bought a Zeblaze Crystal watch. Nice object. Unfortunately, for an error (I tried to use the Arduino suite in order to understand if it would be possible to program it)... I deleted its firmware.
So I searched and I found that the MTK2502 is the common cpu for many models... and that the OS of one can be installed on another.
In this moment I installed on the Zeblaze Crystal the OS of the Oukitel A28 and it works perfectly.
I also tried the OS of the NO.1 G2 Smartwatch and it worked nice. This last has more apps, like a video player for video copied in the watch. But this OS reversed the screen, so it is better for people who wear the phone on the right wrist.
In any case changing the OS is really a simple operation and it took just 5 minutes.
I could say that the Oukitel OS is like the original. Maybe the watch layout a little better, but the same functionalities.
Now I would like to share with you all the possible links to the OS and to the software that it is needed to install it. Maybe we could create a repository for all this OS (for the MTK2502) and, in the future, when someone could understand the ROM layout, also try to add new apps or watch faces.
Obviously, install a new OS can brick your device. I did it without problem, but be aware of the risk.
So, to install the new OS just download the tool for the NO.1 G2 Smartwatch (the file has the OS, the needed tool and the instructions):
https://goo.gl/jpNQdd
If you want, instead, the Oukitel A28 OS, just refer to the link (the OS to be used with the previous tool):
http://depositfiles.com/files/kddf8hbsu
I observed that, in any case, all these OS are the same for what concerns the stability of the connection with the phone.
I add that, to update the OS, you have to:
turn off it
connect the watch with the cable to the PC
start the software and the update process and, when it says something like "searching" press and keep pressed the watch button.
Best
where can i found the Zeblaze Crystal OS? I have an F2 an dwould like to install teh Zeblaze Crystal OS on it
Not Omate X compatible, touchscreen doesn't work. No compatible firmware to flash back to.
where can i found the Zeblaze Crystal OS? Can you send me?

I am sorry, but I have not found the Zeblaze Crystal OS. I have installed the Oukitel A28 (see the link before). It works perfectly.
Hi Marko...firstly, thanks for all the hard work you've put in here.
I own a No.1 G.2 which I bought in December last year. I love it BUT it does not have gesture wake for the screen and you have to press the button for the screen to light up. Apparently the latest firmware allows this or, as you indicate above, you can use the Oukitel a28 firmware for the same effect.
My problem is that I have tried downloading the new firmware for the G2...I can load the scatter file...the software says that the chip in the watch is compatible but when I click start nothing happens. The bar stays at 0%. I've tried it with the watch switched on connected by USB and switched off. Nothing happens. I've tried pressing the power button as you indicate above...nothing. When I connect the USB cable with the watch powered on the notice "Mass Storage" or "Com Port" comes up but when I try clicking on "Com Port" the watch says "Not allow".
This is driving me nuts. Can you help? The watch is still working fine so I haven't damaged the existing firmware but I'd dearly like to have gesture control or the nice a28 firmware.
Hello I came across this threat and had the big hope that this could help me.
I have a A28 Oukitel and I am very happy with it, as for it's cheapness and the way it works and its watchfaces.
Now as the Zeblaze is out that watch has one more nice watchface and what I am missing it has a stopwatch.
I really hoped that I could do it vice versa to marco but unfortunately the Zeblaze firmware is not of the same kind as the firmwares of the No.1 G2 and the A28 they both refer in the config.file to general files based on TinySystem-ROMs but the Zeblaze does refer to a .bin-file.
I am not really an expert in programming so I don't know if this is basically because the Zeblaze supposed to have more RAM 32/64 MB or is it because the firmware is based on another platform?
My question is: is there a way to read them out and transform one to another? Does any kind of programming tool make it understandable to a basic PC-User?
Any kind of deeper knowledge would help me.
@ Stroppytommy:
I am not sure if you got this right. Using the flashtool needs administration rights! And the PC is checking the COM-Port only within milliseconds so it is important that you have turned the watch off! Than after! starting the download you connect the turned off watch to the PC. That should turn the "Searchnig..." hint into naming the COM-Port and the process begins.

Yep...thanks. Your suggestion worked. The new 2016 (No.1.G2) firmware is crap, however. It now shows motion sensing in the menu (for auto gesture on) but selecting that option has no effect on the watch at all.

Will the Oukitel firmware run on the No.1 G2 ???

check here guys . the latest firmware for ZeBlaze Crystal.
and com ports issue also solved
Hi guys,
I bought before 2 weeks a No.1 D5+ via Gearbest without any problems. Watch is working and really nice.
My problem is, that I want more a smartphone assistent instead of a stand alone watch (which the D5+ is disigned for).
I'm using the watch without SIM card. I thought that the D5+ will fulfill the requirements for companion or stand alone watch, but it is more a stand alone watch.
Do someone know that there are any custom roms for the D5+ (MTK6580) out there which are providing all the features, also of companion/bluetooth watches?
My main searched features are:
- Text notifications display
- Call notification + accept or decline incoming call
- BT call with watch via smartphone
- Music control via watch of smarphone music player app (i have a sony xperia Z5 compact)
- of course, flexible watch faces
... all other features are very welcome
If not, are there any other companion apps for smartphone usable which are working with the watch helper (on the watch) compatible? Or do somebody know, how I can disable the bluetooth connection alert from the watch helper app? I know that there is a Xposed module usable, but on my z5c (Android 7) there is no Xposed provided yet.
Thank's for your hints, advices and information.
Greetz,
Marc

( hope this helps)
Thanks for the link old_fart.
I red a little bin it this, but there are no Custom roms which I was searching for. But some interesting things. I will stay on watching this posts.
If someone knows complete new Custom rons for these smartwatches I would appreciate the information.
Hey everyone,
I'm fairly new to the world of smartwatches, but I am doing some work where I'd like to be able to send some information 'covertly' to a smartwatch.
I assumed I might be able to just pick up a cheap smartwatch and install an APK of my own making on it as an app, relaying information from a connected phone or similar - however it would seem the majority of the cheaper brand smartwatches are just set up with a suite of applications and you can't change them.
I then realised that I don't even need the normal 'features' of a smartwatch - I only want to run the one android 'app'. I thought maybe there might be a way of putting some custom firmware on a device that would let me do something like this, which led me to your forums - but I'm a bit lost looking through in honesty.
So I'm looking for a bit of advice as to what type of smartwatch might be useful here, and if my previous idea is at all possible? Thanks for reading

Hello,
I am totally new to smartwatches.
I have been reading the forums but I recognize I am having problems to understand; so, I beg your pardon if my question has been answered before... or if it is so obvious that I shouldn't being making it.
So: I know there apps or programs to make watchfaces for Full Android Smartwatches; for Wear OS Smartwatches; for Tizen OS Smartwatches; or for the Apple Watch.
But: does it exist any app or program to create watchfaces for smartwatches like the one I have (Kospet Tank T1).
I mean: I don't even know which operating system is running the watch.
And, if creating the custom watchface is possible: how can we upload it to the smartwatch?
Any help will be much appreciated and, as I said in the beginning, I am sorry is this is not a proper question.
just another usual "chiness watch". most of it have a custom os, based on rtos. may have a different as watch faces formats, as methods to upload.
start searching at the app. I mean, it uses fit cloud pro, so try to find watch faces to this app and methods to upload. if you'll be lucky, than start to search editor. if no - you'll be forced to investigate watch face format of your watch and method to upload by yourself. it's hard if you newbe but not impossible.
