Hmm,
i am no Developer who can do such Things you like!
To contct the Manufacturer is easy on AliExpress or where you purchased your Watch.
Good luck!
Usually they do not respond or do it very late.
I really still wait for a Developer to help here, hopefully someone can help, please....

Sometimes, This kind of unbranded device could be signed with test-keys. I have some chinese devices have been signed with test-keys. I had a lot of fun with them. If there is S999 device which signed with test-keys, bootloader unlock is still impossible. but We could have a possible detour, root and GSI custom rom will be possible.

I have lokmat version of S999 and unfortunately it signed by release-keys. But We still have a chance because there could be exact same model with test-keys. If you have actual device or full firmware backup, any branded S999 device, please check it. you can check this through your 'build.prop' file or adb command 'getprop ro.build.fingerprint'. And If yours have been signed by 'test-keys', There will be a line includes 'user/test-keys' or something similar. We can go forward if anybody have test-keys signed sample.

ro.build.tags=release-keys
ro.build.description=full_k61v1_64_bsp-user 9 PPR1.180610.011 eng.mct.20210305.174450 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=KENBO/K9Pro/K9Pro:9/PPR1.180610.011/1583461345:user/release-keys

This Build i do have!
I extracted this full ROM.
With other Words: I do need an other ROM with Test-keys???
Is this right?
And root? How to?
GSI i tried without Success. Maybe i did something wrong.....
Look at the Picture. RED STATE with GSI-ROM on LOCKED BOOTLOADER!!! AND AVB still enabled!!!

Test-keys is published key. So If there is a rom signed with test-keys on working device, I can build modded vbmeta for that rom with signed by valid verity key which can demolish its AVB. After that point We can flash&boot anything we want. Even if the device has locked.

Very low chance actually. Because, in common-sense, most of device on the market are signed by release-keys. test-keys signed device on the market is quite rare case. But It is my only bet at this point. because this method will only works on test-keys signed build. If there is no rom signed with test-keys, no way to do it.

If someone has got a ROM for the S999 Device (or Identical) please have a look at the build.prop if it has got the "test-keys"
If the rom has the "test-keys":
Hopefully a user here can do something for us,
or the user will describe how to do it.

Again......
Waiting is the hardest Part


....... i don´t like round displays for my android ......

Long wait mates and Happy news here. Infinity CM2MT2 updated to 2.28 today. Now firefly protocol supports MT6761 processor. Bootloader unlock with no data loss is possible. I just unlocked its bootloader and rooted with magisk. Currently figure out what GSI rom will be suitable.

Infinity CM2MT2 need hardware dongle to launch. It costs 68.80USD on aliexpress currently(Just search there and try to find right price for you). I don't really recommend buying this for only S999. but this kind of dongle/box stuff is VERY useful if you play around device collection. Specially for unbranded Unisoc devices. Fair investment I think. Basic tutorial for setting is here https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21773.html

Note: In default state, Magisk will refuse to launch. You need to install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...l=ko&gl=US and lock your screen portrait before try magisk.

Note2: crDroid v224 ARM64 A/B Vanilla boots. Everything looks fine but can't get IMEI. All major functions work include phone calls and Data but Auto screen rotation not works.

Note3: Offline-charging not works. It is well known problem on GSI rom so may not works on any GSI rom.

Very very nice!
Just ordered the Dongle.
Lets see what in two Mounth will happen with my S999 Device.
Bikko! You saved my day!
Thank you so much for this great Information!

This will bring us forward.

I agree, for only one Device it is not really recomended, but in my Situation it´s just worth the Price.
I do need very small devices with FULL ANDROID 9+ on it.
Yes, i can find them, but they are the same like S999

I also recommend an app. Since this device has no volume buttons, virtual volume buttons are necessary. Most of volume control apps are slider but this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...lumebutton Quite old but useful app.

This app may useless on stock. but on GSI notification bar, and You prefer to have a lot of volume stages so need precise controls, I couldn't find anything better than this. Depends on your setting It really looks like a part of UI.

I also attached my personal mod. It removes close button on notification and maximize +- to prevent misstouch.

Note: Also look this app too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...elandscape It will add force landscape mode switcher into quick setting tile.
