Is anyone succeeded to flash new firmwares in any watch?

[.::iRizwan::.]

I don't think that anyone is able to flash new firmwares provided by MFC team.
either protocol has changed or incompatibility of drivers.
The watch found in DFU fine but MFC can't detect watch in recovery mode.
After manually injecting the drivers from multiplexer it recognize and starts flashing but the watch never goes to restore mode AKA "update dial"
Stays there forever and then error.
Same in Recovery flash and DFU flash.

Mine does the same thing.... on top of that the files are mislabeled.

I’m getting the same error as you and it reboots the watch, then the Apple logo stays on for eternity (using “MFC Series 1 38mm” file which is actually the Series 2 38mm file.) On a series 2 38mm watch of course.

yea also same issue , he should give us regular ipsw so we can try flashing it on mac

All the dates of the files in the firmware are (09-01-2007)
and Folders are dated (27-06-2020)
Why is that?????

if the file configuration is the same, why need to modify the date
