[Guide] How to install the firmware in Italian on Xiaomi Huami Amazfit Bip

Xiaomi had presented the very economical smartwatch with a very attractive design a few weeks ago, and many of you had asked us if he would ever receive software in English less or even in Italian. The most enthusiastic will have asked and got the answer from our Facebook page "surely, but we do not know whether in official or if there are translators who will make a special version in Italian".

Well, the news is about these last few minutes! The great friend Francko76 has just managed to build a firmware for the 'Amazfit Bip completely in italiano. That way, despite the Chinese interface being very intuitive because of the iconics, now the most economical Amazfit of the series really becomes the best buy of the year!

We talked to him here at launch and we had tried it for you in our video review, but now we can finally give you the official guide to get it the Italian language on Amazfit Bip! Of course we thank developers again dpeddi for firmware extraction, Francko76 for translation and graphics e Andreas for the realization of the tool ... and for the unmistakable work done!

Here is the first link to the page which encapsulates all the work done!

We will soon see that we will soon post it official guide to install this Italian firmware version on Amazfit Bip, then save the page to favorites because if you have already purchased it SmartWatch Xiaomi can not miss the opportunity to have it in Italian!

Thing? Have not you bought it yet ?! So now it's time to do it!

[GUIDE] Here is the official procedure for installing the firmware in Italian on Xiaomi Huami Amazfit Bip!

Before seeing how to install the Italian language on our Amazfit Bip, we thank once again the team that took care of the development of the tool, the firmware and the entire project, strictly in alphabetical order (by nickname!): dpeddi, Franck076Gadgetbridge Andreas Shimokawa.

Prerequisites
It is indispensable that the smartwatch be installed on the smartwatch firmware stock 0.0.9.40. If you had an older version, update it.

Make sure you have enabled setup from unknown origins from settings -> additional settings -> privacy -> unknown sources.

Neither XiaomiToday.it nor the developer team is responsible for any damages and problems arising from procedural errors. proceed ONLY if you are aware of what you are doing because there is NO procedure for restoring the smartwatch.

With the necessary clarifications, let's start with the uninstall Mi Fit from the phone. Once the official app has been uninstalled, we download the apk GadgetBridge on our phone and installiamolo.

Download GadgetBridge.apk

Then start the newly installed app and proceed to 'coupling between the Amazfit Bip and GadgetBridge, until we find ourselves in the following condition (the Pebble obviously you will not have it).

amazfit-beep-Italian-firmware-installation-guide-language-Italian

Now we will have to proceed with the flash of two firmware files specially modified by dpeddi.

We loaded the two files of the updated firmware version. Just repeat the procedure below.

First let's download them:

Download Mili_chaohu_0.0.9.40_en.fw

Download Mili_chaohu_0.0.9.40_en.res

Download files and copy them to phone memory, we can proceed: open one of ours File Explorer e select one of the two files to import on the smartwatch. By clicking on the file, we will be able to select it Installation FW / App, as in the following picture.

amazfit-beep-Italian-firmware-installation-guide-language-Italian

After making this choice, GadgetBridge will reopen with this screen that we attach to you:

amazfit-beep-Italian-firmware-installation-guide-language-Italian

Guess what to do now? Exactly. We click on Install and the smartwatch will start updating.

When the .res file is installed, the smartwatch will update but will not reboot. While, when we will flash the .fw file, the device will reboot after the update.

We repeat the procedure for the other file downloaded and, once restarted, we will have the Amazfit Bip in Italian.

Surely you will ask for it and we will anticipate it: the weather information they will be in English or in Chinese. Everything is OK. To get the Italian language also on the weather you need to install the following MiFit app on your phone: Download MiFit 3.0.6 MOD Francko76.apk

The procedure is complete but developers point out that the weather app will be characterized by the inability to automatically retrieve the location via GPS, due to a MiFit application bug. Nothing worrisome: you can choose your location by writing the name of your city in English.

We thank again all the team of the important discovery, the extraordinary work and, as always, of the demonstrated availability!

Good Amazfit Bip in Italian!

Hi, is it possible to connect the amazfit bit to the computer without first connecting it to a mobile phone? I bought it for my children who don't have a personal cellphone. or even if I connect it to my cell phone, then they can manage it from the computer? I can not. both before and after I connected it to the phone, the app that I downloaded “Fit for mi band” continues to do an empty search without connecting. Trying from the computer settings, in Bluetooth, the clock is seen, it is also "associated", but not connected and in any case, even after this application, the "fit for mi band" program fails... Read the rest »

If you use the moddata MiFit version you have no problems. With the original one, it does the upgrade automatically

Hello
I installed gadgetbridge on samsung s6
paired and updated the beep
then I go to the archive folder and try to extract the .fw or .res file
but it tells me: “Can't open the file
no application is installed on the device that can support the res file format. Touch SEARCH to search the Play Store for an application that can open this file "

what is wrong and how do I do it?
thanks

Hello, I bought an amazfit after reading the great reviews. I currently have an Iphone 5 and ... the watch does not speak to the phone. I kindly ask you if you confirm that amazfit does not communicate with ios and, if so, if there is the possibility of making it work. thanks a lot

I make a clarification, once the signature for the Italian language was loaded, I connected the watch to my iphone again and the app automatically installed the updated signature (V0.0.9.1.4), returning to the Chinese language. However the language is not a problem, the big problem is that it does not receive call notifications, sms, whatup… from the phone. Thanks in advance for any possible advice

Hello everyone,

I was considering the purchase of a Chinese version Amazfit Bip and then install the Italian language but I have a doubt. If I install this version of the firmware, will I also be able to install the updates that Xiaomi releases in the future?

Excuse your question as a neophyte.

Thanks to everyone who can / will answer me

John

Good morning everyone

I was considering the purchase of Amazfit Bip Chinese version and then install the Italian but I was wondering if, sorry for the neophyte question, once the new firmware is installed, it was possible to install the updates proposed in the future by Xiaomi.

Thanks in advance for who will / will answer me

a question ... once the firmware has been flashed in Italian and the MiFit moddata app installed, what will we do to update both the app and the firmware in the future? will we have to re-download everything every time?
I take advantage of it for another question: does the modded MiFit app bring other advantages than the weather in Italian, compared to the original one? does it bring advantages to using it with the miBand 2?

Yes, each version will be retrained. For the Mi 2 Band there are no benefits

Hello to all,

I too have the same problem despite having installed everything correctly, including the Mi Fit modification app. Is there anyone who knows how to fix this bug?

thank you

How do software updates work with the “modified” Mi Fit app? Are they done automatically anyway? If a software update overwrites the translation, will the smartwatch return to Chinese? Thanks!

With every firmware update, the language is back in Chinese and you will have to wait for the developers' translation

To restore the original firmware, I suppose it is enough to flash the files inside the mifit apk.

on the original Mi Fit app .. once you pair the Amazfit, it either asks you to update the firmware or you need to search for smartwatch updates

Hi, I would have a little more technical curiosity. The files that are going to be installed, those with the extension .res and .fw, what are they going to change? I mean, do you re-insert the translated operating system or do they just go to work on the transcription of some strings of the native sound? It's a total inexperienced curiosity 🙂

We are updating the article in these minutes and inserting the guide and I confirm that an Android phone is needed for the update / translation. For use after translation, the MiFit app present in the app store is probably sufficient but we have not had the opportunity to try it

you need an android phone for translation. Then you can easily use the Mi Fit app of the Store but you will not have the weather in Italian

How are we doing at the heart rate? "Reliable" like that of the Mi Band 2? Can you do continuous scans?

As reliable as if not more than the Mi Band 2. Continuous monitoring during sports sessions, in sleep and there is also an option on the MiFit which I believe refers to continuous monitoring even during the day

Well for 11 euro with the. I'm a band from god, uncomfortable to read the notifications in full and set the timer though for the best price, maybe if the fit bit drops to 40 at the black Friday I'll think, notifications how does it handle it? Read Only? Some weight training functions? Thanks in advance
