  2. Open the OTA flashing tool (e.g., "DVATool" or "WRtTool").
  3. Select the firmware file.
  4. Turn off your watch completely.
  5. Connect the data cable to the watch’s pogo pins.
  6. Click "Start" and immediately power on the watch.

  2. If stuck in bootloop → enter recovery → wipe cache → reboot.

  3. Go to "Settings" > "Device Update" .
  4. Tap "Push Update" .
