Question MI Band 3 vibrate on disconnection

[piyushtwri]

Is there any custom or official firmware that makes it possible for band to vibrate as soon as it disconnects from the phone. It would be a great feature as we forget our phone sometimes or everyone at least once. This feature would be a lifesaver. Essential at least for person like me.

Yes, it exists in an older version of FW, but it is not on the forum. Look for 4pda.ru

 

[piyushtwri]

I looked on 4pda.ru but since every page is to be translated from russian, it hard to find. Can you please point out the link to the particular firmware or just firmware version so that i can directly look for that. Would be very helpful.

You must use the Firmware variant: "....._vibro+.fw".

Thank you for your quick response. I found the firmware page with your help, however those files were removed so i couldn't download that. Still I'll keep looking for those files or any new firmware with its support as you have mentioned in earlier reply. Although i know c and python I even tried to look for making modifications myself but i guess I know nothing about hex editing. I was wondering if you can suggest any guide where I can start learning about it.

I have already tried n&f but its totally different approach of multiple alarms and consumes a lot of battery out of phone or big delay like 5 to 10 minute may sometimes be not very useful.

I went for Mili_wuhan_2302_QexMod_103_vibro+.fw ( 390,21 КБ ) . I tried to sign up but the capcha was in russian so i couldn't. Could you make that available on some other medium like email or any google drive link. Thanks in advance.

If you have mili_hankou, you must wait until I create modification of the firmware for mili_hankou with vibrate after disconnect braclet.

maybe you could convert the oficial firmware hex file to assembly code and edit it then compile it back to hex?

Yes that's exactly how it is done, by modifying the assembler code.

I wanted to, but not an expert in doing so. That's why I need help . I even could not get which exact part of the hex code to be modified. I would appreciate if you people can guide me.

And you are familiar with assembler code? Do you know the architecture of ARM processors? Depending on what you want to change, the given part of the hex file is edited accordingly. You must convert the function you want to modify to assembler, modify the assebbler code, and convert it back to a hex file. Unfortunately, the modified hex code is usually longer, so modifications are difficult. Unfortunately, no one will teach you this if you can't write firmware.

google search for how to convert hex file to assembley and follow th instructions with the fw file. the fw file is just a hex file encoded with utf 8. then follow some youtube tutorial to learn assembly and use that to understand and modify the fw.
