CAUTION

This feature has the potential to brick your Amazfit Band 5. You are doing this at your own risk. That being said, it did not happen to us yet.

Getting the firmware

Since we may not distribute the firmware, you have to find it elsewhere :( Amazfit Band 5 firmware updates were never part of Mi Fit/Zepp, but are only made available via OTA updates.

Choosing the right firmware version for your Model

Device Name	HW Revisions	Codename	Default Language
Amazfit Band 5	V0.57.18.18	YORK	English

It seems that the firmware for L and non L variant are unified

Installing the firmware

Copy the desired Amazfit Band 5 .fw and .res files to your Android device and open the .fw file from any file manager on that device. The Gadgetbridge firmware update activity should then be started and guide you through the installation process. Repeat with the .res file (you don't have to do this if the previous version you flashed had exactly the same .res version).
If you get the error "Element cannot be installed" or "The file format is not supported" try a different file manager. Amaze should work.
