For Xiaomi Amazfit, a change to English from Chinese has been frustrating for some users. While Xiaomi Amazfit Watch aka Huami Amazfit Pace has recently been announced for official release in the United States, there is still no word of an official Amazfit English ROM.
The Amazfit app has a fully English interface, but things are lagging behind when it comes to getting the Amazfit Watch changed to English.
There is a solution
Thankfully, there is a relatively easy way to get your Amazfit Pace switched to English from Chinese. Follow the simple guide below and you’ll be done in less than 5 minutes, with the majority of text on your watch in English, including the menus.
NOTE: Before following this guide, unpair all Bluetooth devices from your Amazfit Watch Amazfit Pace. To fix Amazfit “unfortunately launcher has stopped” error, simply unpair all devices.
What you need
adb drivers and command set — This is what allows your PC to communicate with the Amazfit watch to get it into English mode
a USB cable– Needed to connect your Amazfit Pace to your PC
an Amazfit Watch / Amazfit Pace
the base connector for the watch (the part which attaches to the watch for charging)
Action time
It looks like a lot of steps, but we’ve broken it down into tiny bite sized steps for users who may not be familiar with this type of action. adb ninjas can skip to step 10. Note, make sure to allow any permission requests that come up from your PC.
1. Extract and double click the downloaded exe. A blue DOS looking box will popup
2. Answer “Y” to all three questions in the blue box
3. Connect your watch to the PC via the USB cable
4. In the Windows Start menu, search for “cmd”
5. You will see ‘Command Prompt’ come up from the search
6. Right-click and run Command Prompt as administrator
7. A black Command Window will popup
8. In the black box, type “adb kill-server” and hit enter
9. Type “adb start-server” and hit enter
10. Type “adb shell” and hit enter. You should see a prompt come up in the black box that says “shell@watch:/”
11. At that prompt, type “setprop persist.sys.language en” and hit enter
12. Type “adb reboot”. Your watch will reboot.
Bam. You are done. Now your Amazfit Watch will now be in English.

Hello Ben, we did the same procedure on Win10 x64.
Did all adb commands execute without error? If so, then it should have worked.
Make sure you’re updated to one of the latest Amazfit Watch ROMs. Old versions may not carry English.

Hello Tom, not 100% will be in English. The menus should mostly be in English though. I’d say about 75%. This is the best we can do until an official English ROM with flash method is released. It’s a huge step up from everything being in Chinese.

Tried to change smartwatch’s language and… “unfortunately launcher has stopped”.
I guess i didn’t have the last firmware, probably was the problem. i can’t find a way to hardreset it or reinstall the firmware. Can you help me to solve this? At this point i don’t care about the language anymore, i just want to recover the watch…
Thanks in advance

Try this, instead of adb shell, type “adb reboot recovery”. See if it brings you to some mode for factory reset. Also try holding power button with the watch off for like 30 seconds and see what happens.

Tried ‘adb reboot bootloader’ .. nothing happened:<
.. then thought to try .. ' adb shell reboot reloader' .. now the watch switched into 'Fastboot' mode where it has been for the last 45 minutes or so
Is something happening? Should I disconnect the watch from the laptop? .. or .. should I not interfere n let it run its course?
Pls advise

Hello A.Shah, this is good news. It means there may be a good chance of recovering. Let’s see what happens. You can skip the first step if you’ve already got adb/fastboot installed.
First download / extract / run this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ubhof2v3utmdtmu/auto-adb-fastboot.rar
Go to c:/adb
IN A BLANK SPACE IN THE FOLDER, Hold SHIFT and RIGHT-CLICK and select “open Command Window here”
Now with the watch in fastboot mode if it’s not already
Type “fastboot devices”
Type “fastboot erase userdata”
Type “fastboot erase cache”
Type “fastboot reboot”
Let me know how that turns out

It shouldn’t matter which set of fastboot you use. Are you saying you were in fastboot mode, and issued the commands, and nothing happened? If so, what exactly happened when you issued the “fastboot erase” commands?
Or were you never in fastboot to attempt them?
You can try “adb reboot-bootloader” with a “-” and see if that will get you to fastboot/bootloader mode.

2. If yes, what happened when you issued the command. Was there some error, or it just went to the next line and waited for a new command?
3. No. Type “adb reboot-bootloader” exactly as I’ve typed here.

Unpair the watch , 2. wait for it be updated with the latest firmware (for e.g. I have the version 1.2.4b, wait for a while to pair back.. just make sure u have the wifi connection on the watch active n linked to your wifi provider..it might need to be updated multiple times..suggest u wait for a few hours..it seems that the more recent update your watch has the better, 3. pair again n repeat the process for the chinese to english conversion .. hopefully, your watch should be fine now with an around < 85% english ratio!
Good Luck

btw just a note: the watch has only one physical button n the watch does go to a locked mode every few seconds (the lock period can be changed in the settings) which is normal, when u need to use a specific mode etc u need to press the button to unlock it .. this is a part of the watch set process n is normal n nothing to be worried about .. ok?

Finally, the same thing happens with me on the laptop link ..I guess thats normal with such chinese stuff.. keep checking the Amazfit smartwatch android app n the linked Strava app n u should get some info n updates on the status n yr workouts etc .. Its a great watch once u get it working n I am sure there will be a Global English update soon .. So just relax n enjoy the Watch!:.

Hi, just changed my amazfit to English, thanks for the instructions. I now want to reconnect my phone as I unpaired it but in order to get the QR code again I need to restore to factory settings. Surely this will get rid of the English update? Is there a way around this?

Hello Juliano,
Find the “i” info icon
Tap it
Scroll to the bottom option
Tap the bottom line many times. That will turn on developer options
Then back to main screens, you should then find the new options
From there you can show QR code and re-pair

But (I know you saw that “but” coming) now, every time I press the flight option (don’t need the watch connected all day draining the battery) it says “the launcher has stopped”. If I try a second time the watch re-starts and changes to flight mode…my question here is: is that normal? should I do something?

Try this, instead of adb shell, type “adb reboot recovery”. See if it brings you to some mode for factory reset. Also try holding power button with the watch off for like 30 seconds and see what happens.

It shouldn’t matter which set of fastboot you use. Are you saying you were in fastboot mode, and issued the commands, and nothing happened? If so, what exactly happened when you issued the “fastboot erase” commands?
Or were you never in fastboot to attempt them?
You can try “adb reboot-bootloader” with a “-” and see if that will get you to fastboot/bootloader mode.

Damian ParsonsMember of GizBeatAdministratorGood news, so just a BT issue. Have you tried the BT again, but this time unpair prior to the change.Damian, finally got it done in the English version wow!.. didn’t take the risk of doing the procedure after unpairing as I wouldn’t then have the unpair hard set option necessarily .. seems the problem is the firmware version of the watch..after the 1st unpairing, it updated 3 times ..from 1.1.5 to 1.1.6, then 1.2.0 n then 1.2.1a ..once u have the later versions then it seems that the process works .. just wanted to share above specifics as all of u have been a lot of help!

SeanPublic CommentUserHow did you pair with BT? Don't you need the QR code?yes “unfortunately launcher has stopped”
ManolisPublic CommentUseryes “unfortunately launcher has stopped”so i was getting the same error and i unpaired it and then it did reset on its own as mentioned then QR code appeared and then when I try to pair it, I am getting message as below(it is on iphone):
“Not pairing amazfit watch, please log out, in the phone settings – general- language and region – region – select the watch to buy the region, and then xiaomi account to login to pair”
Not sure what exactly it wants because watch is not getting paired at all

A.ShahPublic CommentUserHi Jayant, I am not really an expert here but what I can suggest is that u, 1. Unpair the watch , 2. wait for it be updated with the latest firmware (for e.g. I have the version 1.2.4b, wait for a while to pair back.. just make sure u have the wifi connection on the watch active n linked to your wifi provider..it might need to be updated multiple times..suggest u wait for a few hours..it seems that the more recent update your watch has the better, 3. pair again n repeat the process for the chinese to english conversion .. hopefully, your watch should be fine now with an around < 85% english ratio!

btw just a note: the watch has only one physical button n the watch does go to a locked mode every few seconds (the lock period can be changed in the settings) which is normal, when u need to use a specific mode etc u need to press the button to unlock it .. this is a part of the watch set process n is normal n nothing to be worried about .. ok?

Juliano VazPublic CommentUserMan, i have the same problem, the message of the launcher... but i not pairing with anything, just open the box and try the hack... What should i do?Hello Juliano,
- Find the “i” info icon
- Tap it
- Scroll to the bottom option
- Tap the bottom line many times. That will turn on developer options
- Then back to main screens, you should then find the new options
- From there you can show QR code and re-pair
