We have previously made a thread [Device Team] Comprehensive Guide to Flash Amazfit BIP to English Firmware! and one thing for sure it was a huge help to those who have bought the watch and cannot read Simplified Chinese Language. Now having said and done, this method has a downside, it will mess up and goes back to Chinese once you have updated to the latest firmware, and knowing you guys always on the lookout for the latest firmware, you might have forgotten that this was a ported English FW from our hardworking friend @mauronofrio in XDA Forum.
This time, we have discovered that this method will prevent it from reverting back to the original language once there is another firmware rollout.
Lets get started!
Download the following and place it to BIP Folder inside the Downloads Folder in your Phone:
Latest Mi Fit App - link

Step 1. Download the latest Mi Fit App, be if from Google Play Store or from the Link above. Install it to your phone.
Step 2: Install the Gadget Bridge App to your phone as provided above.
Step 3: Turn ON your phone's Bluetooth
Step 4: Select the Amazfit BIP Watch that appeared on the device list. Then wait for the prompt on your watch, and select the Check icon to continue pairing, then select the Back button from the phone.
Step 5. Use File Explorer (better if ES File Explorer), navigate to the Downloads Folder then the BIP Folder that you have created earlier. Select the Mili_chaohu.res and install.
Step 6. Go to the File Explorer again then select the Mili_chaohu.fw to install
Step 7. The phone will reboot and it will appear still in Chinese language, dont worry, turn on your Mi Fit app and go to profile, then add device, select Watch, then Amazfit BIP, then approve the pairing request on the watch.
Step 8. The Amazfit BIP will automatically translate into the phone's language once it has paired itself to the watch. It will take a while like Updating GPS and Firmware, but once it hit the connected screen it will be all in English should your phone be set in English.
Enjoy your Amazfit BIP Watch on the Language that was set on your Phone.
