Awesome… thank you very much!!! Can you share the download link please, after the upload was successful?

Sure, if we upload it, it’s to share it… :smile:

Here is the X7 firmware - please research the flashing process thoroughly before you do this.
There is plenty of info here and a video on the YT channel as well.

Perfect! Thank you very much @pablo11!:+1: :+1:

Is this the original firmware dated Jan 21 2019 or an updated version? If updated, what are the changes?

hello

Can you tell me what´s the new features/improvements in relation to the 20190119 firmware?
Also is it possible converte this update into an OTA update?

Sorry but the answer is just the newer firmware has some bug fixes.

It is either released as an OTA or not.
It cannot be simply “converted”

So far it does not appears to be release as an OTA, so…
I know the watch itself cant decode and unpack img and bin files, what i meant with “converted” was if someone who has the version already update, and know previously all the content of the previous version, could eventually point out what apps or system files have been changed and pack it all up in a sign zip file… Yeah now as i´m writing this message it really sounds a lot!
I did something very similar back in the Kitkat and Lollipop days… perhaps now it is not that easy…

Thanks anyway for your reply

I have also purchased this watch in Nov, 19 seeing the specifications. Although watch is good in performance except battery. But being a new model latest 2019, it has no any support from finow. Nothing found on there website www.finowatch.com. It is dead website. Mostly Chinese maker are like this, only make to sell but no any support. Nothing spares are available which are damaged after use like straps, battery.
It is just like use and throw. Don’t be dreemed to repair as no any spares are available, particularly the Finow X7. Let see how many days I can use?

Thats why we ( the mods ) and the forum members try and bridge the gap for support . We are the official support for Kospet , Lemfo and now the new genesis watch . So not all are as bad as finow .

I would be interested in buying one of those due to the metal casing (Finow X7 / Lemfo LEF3), but it seems they have been discontinued.
Does anyone know if they can still be purchased or if another similar rebrand exists?

I’ll ask around …

Cheers

Respected sir, I like ask a question about the stock firmware of Finow x7. Although I had downloaded this firmware more than one year ago, and successfully flashed so many times. But while flasing I always unchecked the preloader file.
Here my question is can I flash with preloader without unchecked ? Is this rom has built in preloader. Means full stock rom. Hoping you will reply my doubt. Thanks sir.:pray:

The watch is Finow or Lemfo?

Both have this model.

Equally the firmware can be used for both devices.

You don’t need to flash the preloader.
You can just exclude the preloader and make a factory reset after flashing the device.

Thanks for reply. My watch is Finow x7. The flash file is working. But my curiousity to know about what is harm if I flash with preloader ?
Thanks sir🙏

I am not sure why it is bothering you…
But, you can flash the finow firmware with the preloader selected as well if you want.
It is fine to do this if you are flashing firmware that you know is definitely for your watch model.

I always use the “firmware upgrade” option in the flash tool to make sure I clean out the previous software.

But this will wipe your user data.
Using “download only” is ok if you do not flash the user data image.
However, I always prefer a clean start.
