Slot Cycle Index

Hi All,

I recently bought an X18i. It works fine, but at times it will not respond to calls. Reading through Android forums, it looks like I need to adjust the slot cycle index of the phone. I have searched but not found a way to change the slot cycle index of this phone. If anyone knows how to, I would appreciate the information.

Thanks!

Dunno, gotta check that at home, I'll tell you!

Speaking of flashing alternative roms, I tried to flash Cyanogen or MIUI roms (tried with version adapted to different devices, HTC, SE...) but failed everytime :(

Did someone there succeed in installing one of those roms?

i did hours with oneclick no result, but if i moved the connections to usb 2.0 all works fine, be shure to connet the x18i with superoneclick to usb 2 only.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spicysi:
Lucky, I tried many times, with different cables and ports, no luck. Thought it was because it was 2.3.6 as 2.3.4 works fine to root. Too much of a mystery, phone has gone back to China for fix/replacement.

Flash ROM easily

I read in other forum (hasithachat):

To change the ROM, down the ROM and put it as update.zip to the sd card and use this tool:

chinamobiles.org /downloads /zap / m44mtk.apk

to install the ROM, this is a apk you have to install it on your phone.

And a way to overclock:

Download in play.google

MTKControlTest

and adjust the slider you can go to maximum 814mhz , but leave it at 790 , if you go over 800 it keeps restarting . The launcher and apps run much much smoother , its almost a 20% boost. Battery is not affected that much.

Hello, new x18i user here :)

I have exact the same firmware as on screenshot you posted here, based on android 2.3.6, and I have a few questions for you and the other owners of x18i:

- Do you have original rom backup, or maybe you could help me backup my own rom? I tried with x18i recovery, i made backup, but I think it just backups my data and settings.

- No matter what usb port I use, I always get the message: This device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port. I tried with stock cable and blackberry cable, on two different computers (win xp and vista) and several usb ports. Do you have this problem?

- Vibration is not working, no matter what I try. Anyone else with the same problem?

- There is no way I could root my phone using 'traditional' methods mentioned in this thread, so I'm wondering will it work if I flash my phone back to Android version 2.3.4?

I know it's a lot of questions, but since I'm new owner, I hope you can help.

Thank you all in advance!

Recovery mod access denied

Hi,

I'm new on this forum, and I'm here because I need your help :(

In fact, I did a mistake with my x18i... I'm in version 2.3.6 and I wanted to root it but as many of you know, it was impossible with classical methods (Super One Click, GingerBreak, Z4Root, ...). So I tried the update.zip method with the recovery mod but I had an unsigned file (I suppose because it didn't work but at this time I didn't know that files had to be signed so I didn't understand why it didn't work) that is why after many failures I decided to flash the recovery mod of my phone with SP Flash Tool...

The problem now, is that I can't access to recovery since this operation, when I turn on the phone pressing volume + touch the phone freeze and I have to restart it removing the battery =/

I hope one of you will be able to help me to repair my mistake and allow me to root my phone :)

If you need some additional informations (kernel number, software name, tutorial of used method, etc.) just ask me and I reply you in the day :)

Thank you in anticipation,

Best regards,
