Go into factory mode - Test Item - g-sensor calibration. Place your phone on a flat, horizontal surface, then run the 2 calibration routines displayed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfen13fr:
What is the code to go into factory mode ?

Edit : OK, forget it, I found : Push Power button + Volume Down until "Factory Mode" appear down the screen. I calibrate my g-sensor. Very good !

I have the latest stock rom for my phone. It is rooted and I want the kernel for ext support to flash to my phone. Does any one have one I can download?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
Hello.

I've received 2 Chinese phones from a partner.

The first one is a Miki EA6600T with a MT6513, this one :

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=13886821031

The second is a X19i MT6573, this one:

http://www.chinaonlineshop24.com/ce...-card-dual-standby-3g-smart-mobile-phone.html

I've tried to root both using zergRush but they are in 2.3.6, so it doesn't work, "Helios with blue flame" :(

I don't know if your rom can be installed on these devices, what do you think ?

Do you know a method to root this kind of phones and/or to install a custom recovery ?

Thanks for your advices.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfen13fr:
Hi, french man ! :)

To root it, you can try unlockroot or superoneclick ... I did it with unlockroot with my H7300, superoneclick does not work for me but an other friend of me did it with superoneclick ... Try and see.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
Salut.

It's true that we are not a lot around here ;)

Already tried, they use the zergRush method that exploit the libc exploit but this exploit has been patched on android 2.3.6.

superoneclick proposes also another method but I don't remember the name ... but doesn't work either.

EDIT: other method of superoneclick is "psneuter" but it is for android < 2.3.3
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Do you have the stock ROM for your devices?

One great thing about these MTK based phones is that bootloaders are not locked. That means you can easily flash an unsecured boot.img and your phone can be easily rooted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
Nope, unfortunatly, I don't have any factory roms for these devices.

I've searched on Chinese forums and manufacturers sites but nothing.

On the first one, the Miki, the recovery mode has been modified, there is no option do update from a zip for example, only some test features, so I think it will be harder with this one.

But for the galaxy clone, everything is 'default'.

I've try to do a OTA in recovery mode but it failed, so it checks the certificate at least (it was an exploit for samsung phones).

I hope that I will find a breach, specialy for the miki because it has no market, and lot of chinese apps, so it is almost useless.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
There is an app called Market Enabler that might work.

https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler

You could try that.

I would think your best bet will be using z4root.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833953

Just download that app and click the root button and it will do it all for you.

You will then need to install busybox and superuser which you can get from the market.

Btw, I saw this post somewhere which looks alarming:

You might want to check if that app exists after you have rooted your phone and remove it if it does.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EzraKn:
Z4ROOT cannot be used in my MTK6573 handset. I believe it doesn't work in B63M too. Try to use latest version of Super One Click instead. I rooted mine by this tool last night
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bkarya:
Thanks,

I was able to root the phone yesterday and deleted the malware app caivs.apk.

But in the drive to clean up the phone, I deleted some more Apps not useful to me and got into serious trouble. My phone is no more stable and settings option crashes for opening "about Phone".

Is there a way around to get this rectified?

Thanks

Cheers :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bkarya:
Friends,

I tried to flash a ROM (update.zip) as mentioned in the first post (version v3), But I am getting a error signature verification failed while doing it.

Have no clue .. can some one help.. I am worried now :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
Did you follow the instructions to install the custom recovery image so you are trying to install from ClockworkMod Recovery?

The install won't work from your standard recovery image.

Make sure you also do a backup of your current ROM like the instructions say so you have something to return to if there are problems.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bkarya:
Thank you Friend.

Yes, I had taken a backup so was able to get the phone working at least :).

Now that I am getting some support form you, Let me ask for some more help.

As I told earlier, I was able to root and remove unwanted apps and got into trouble of some apps crashing at runtime, I have somehow resolved those crashes, Currently Have just one problem left that whenever I reboot my phone, my keyboard does not show up, I have to go to the settings and select the keyboard on every reboot.

Wanted to get away with this problem by upgrading your ROM.

Now coming back to the custom recovery, I am not sure how to create custom recovery.

I was just pressing vol-up and power button to get into the recovery mode.

In that mode I don't get option to delete dalvik cache.. It gives me option just to delete cache and reset User data and system data.

Can you please let me know how to get into custom recovery.

Thanks again for the help.

Cheers

Bhishma
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
You have the option to erase Dalvik cache in the advanced menu.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
Those instructions are part of step 2 in the installation guide in the first post:

The first link there has the guide of how to get the recovery image onto your phone.

The second link has a download for the recovery image for the HD7 phones.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bkarya:
May I should have been more clear when I asked about reocvery. I used that link to download MT65x3 Tools.

The problem what I have is that I don't see the recovery.img in the ROM directory. So I am not able to flash the custom recovery using the tool downloaded.

Where can I get(download) the recovery image?

It would be great if you upload & send me the link

Translated using google translate to get some details for custom recovery.

Will try it soon.

I better wait for it since your existing rom may have issues ( have you noted down what all issues which are already seen in yr rom?).

Thanks

Did I brick my Phone?

I am writing this with a bit of nervousness.

Was able to flash the custom recovery ROM and use it to pick update.zip.

It completed sucesfully, but now my phone is not booting.

As soon as the Android Logo comes, it vibrates for 3-4 seconds and switchs off. Then it tries again to switch on and keeps doing it :(

What could have gone wrong?

Please help. Can't let this happen to my new phone which I just got a week back :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Did you flash your B63M with a HD7 ROM?!? Haven't you done any backup previous to the ROM update?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bkarya:
I did. I did a Nandroid backup with all data , but restoring it too is not working. Phone gets stuck at the first Android Logo.

any clue?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
How long did you leave it booting?

I also got nervous when I first flashed my ROM as it took several minutes to rebuild the dalvik cache and left me with just a black screen for some time.

After 5-10 minutes though it had booted fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
v4 is out now :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] EzraKn:
Hi bunta,

It's me again :)

I tried your latest ROM again. This time all buttons work but, like another HD7 pro ROM, the button menu and the button back are swapped. Just it has no harm for the usage.

I have restore my original ROM back because of 2 reasons:

1. I have no time to reinstall/rollback the applications I had install on my original ROM last night

2. No TV and radio needs head phone as antenna. They are funny features for me :D and don't want to miss them.

Thank you for your work anyway.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bunta126:
The HD7 with TV has different firmware to the models without TV so actually have different ROMs required.

This site also has various ROMs available for these phone types and has both TV and non-TV versions:

I have never tried this before, but I'm 99% sure this should work:

Use "Read Back" feature from SP Flash Tool to read boot image from the device

Modify boot image (make it unsecure)

Flash the modified boot image using SP Flash Tool

Well, for this you have to assume 0x480000 as the default start address of BOOT partition and a length of 0x600000.

Let me know if you can read back from your devices and then I'll be glad to help you to modify boot.img.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
Well, I'm not very familiar with this, but I've tried.

I've installed the driver, first time I have plugged both phones (switched off), they was detected as "Preloader USB VCOM Android (Com3)", so it seems ok.

Next, I've loaded the scrapper for MT6573, I've added a "read back" starting at 0x480000, but when I click "read back", it doesn't find the phone, it keeps searching (using Options > USB Mode of course).

I've tried several time, with the phones completely switched, with the battery removed, starting the phone, etc. but no luck.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I will keep searching.

Does this method is supposed to work with all the phones ?

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] uoah:
hello,

I have a dapeng a7 phone, is mtk 6573 based. This rom would work?

Thanks a lot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
The tool is supposed to work with any MediaTek based smartphone. As I told you, I have never tried to read back from the device using SP Flash Tool, but I'll give it a try later in the evening and let you know.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I have just published this tutorial: Creating ROM dump of your MT65x3 device.

As soon as you have a backup of your boot.img let me know and I can help you to modify it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
I didn't know that it was your website but it is here that I took SP Flash Tool this morning :)

Very good site. Many thanks.

I've tried "power + vol up" but not "vol up" alone, it was the key.

Thanks for this tips.

I will try this later and let you know.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Yeah, that's my blog. ;)

That's also the "trick" to flash the phone when PRELOADER image is selected.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] uoah:
Thanks a lot! I would try as soon as I can
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
So, I've tried ...

I've followed your instructions but it doesn't work, with the 2 phones.

I've even tried to install drivers on a fresh XP in case it was my x64 Seven, but same result, it keeps "searching", no red bar :(

What is strange is that the drivers are well installed the first time I plug the phone, so I really don't know if it is the phones or SP Flash Tool or me ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Have you tried holding VOL-DOWN instead of VOL-UP button while connecting your phones into the computer? Did you removed the battery for some seconds?

EDIT: The "trick" of holding VOL-UP works on my G11i Pro, I can't guarantee that it works for all the MTK based phones. Maybe anyone with an HD7 can confirm this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
Yep, of course.

I've tried with "Vol UP", "Vol Down", "Home", "Menu", "Power", etc. none are working.

Question: is that normal that the phone display the battery charging in all case ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
No, the battery charging image should not be displayed if the phone is connected into bootloader mode. That is why you should hold that key, in order to enter into bootloader mode.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
Ok, finaly I get one: the Miki.

On WinXP with "Vol Down" (but not working on Seven, I get a COM error - in USB mode!).

For the Galaxy clone (X19i), no key or keys combinaison are working, I've tested all possibilities.

I've started it in Factory Mode (Vol DOWN + Power) and it is well indicated "BB Chip: MT6573", so I don't know why this one doesn't work.

Well, I've at least one on two.

Now I will see how to customize this :)

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ckethan:
Anbody tried bobsled app for free calling? Not installing in h7300 :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:

I think that the ROM for your phone (X19i) is here.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
And thanks to the special scatter you sent me in PM for this phone, I was able to flash the custom boot.img, so the phone is now rooted :)

I will now be able to install the market on it and remove all these crappy chinese apps, it will not be useless anymore.

Many many many thanks for this.

You are really too good, you not only speak hexa but also russian lol

Yes, it seems that it the actual rom of this phone.

I don't know where he got it but it will be very usefull to build my custom boot.img :D

There is even the partition table, so I will be able to write the scratter, if need.

I will double check that is well the same rom (with some ls, and checksum, it should be possible) and next ... :D

I will let you know.

Thanks again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
OK, done :)

x19i rooted too.

I just modified the scatter file because the system partition size was different and everything went fine.

Thanks for everything :D

Hi I have a MT6573 Hero H4300 Phone and I wonder if a custom ROM exist for it? (I know it is capable of 3D games)

I'm about to buy this phone but I need some info and I hope you guys can answer my doubts:

1) Is the mobile running UMTS on SIM 1 also with the custom ROM ?

2) The GPS is built in ?

3) How long does the battery last ... avarage ...

4) Is it easy to manage call from SIM 1 and SIM 2 ?

Thanks for your patience :)

Thank you! It was a pleasure! :)

I hope this can clarify your doubts:

1) Yes, the custom ROM doesn't break any functionality that is available when using the stock ROM

2) Yes, GPS is built-in. The phone includes MT6620 chip, a 4-in-1 chip that integrates WLAN, BT, GPS and FM

3) About 2 days, with moderate usage

4) Yes, very easy. Just have a look at some of my reviews, like this one

I have tried to share my 3G to other devices via tethering (HD7).

However, it is funny that some Android devices, basically in Android 2.3.x, cannot detect the SSID shared.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfen13fr:
It seems that Android can only see non-adhoc wireless network but can't see adhoc wireless network ... but it can create adhoc wifi hotspot !

With my iMac and Mac OS X, I can create internet share between ethernet network and airport. But in that case, Mac OS X creates a non-adhoc connection and my android can see it. If I use the airport menu to create a wireless network, it creates a adhoc connection that my android can't see.

You must have an adhoc enabler application to connect your android phone to an adhoc wireless network.

No, you don't need to format your sdcard.

You can revert to a previous backup, that is if you do the backup. Once you flash my custom recovery, you can do a nandroid backup.

Hello people.

Is there anyone whow has a user pdf manual of the H7300 ?

I'm very much interested in the dual sim management:

- Is there a possibility to decide the SMS are all sent from SIM 2 as preferred ?

- Does the device provide two contacts folders one for SIM 1 and 1 for SIM 2 ?

I would like to use this mobile for business on SIM 2 TIM (Italy) and for Free time on SIM 1 Vodafone (Italy). This because the SIM 2 does is not allowed for data.

The idea is to have the SIM 2 used for all call (more convenient) and SIM 1 only to receive calls and for UMTS 3G internet connection.

Thanks to who can help.

Some pic of the SIM management menu will help :)

miazza
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tuxfamily:
Hi miazza.

The SIMs management is not really related to the phone, but more to the Android platform. I've 2 chinese phones on Android 2.3 with this capability and features are the sames.

So I don't know for the H7300, but for me, yes, you can choose the default 'role(s)' of each sim and it is very easy.

Each sim is represented by an icon/color, so when you send SMS, or call, you can verify that you use the right SIM.

These settings can be found in "Parameters > SIM Management".

I don't have 2 SIMs on me to show you, so screenshots will not be representative, here is an example anyway:

http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/global-en/images/contents/o_2.jpg
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I thought you had seen my previous reply. The Dual SIM management is exactly the same on all MT65x3 based smartphones. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] miazza:
Thanks very much. This is exactly what I was looking for and it is really great :).

To bgcngm

Yes I sow your previous answer but I needed to see the android SIM management menu...:)

No I have another Question:

I have seen on the web a new mobile that is a clone of the Galaxy SII.

It is HDC A9100 with the following characteristics:

Dual Core

CPU: MT6573 ARM11 650MHz + MT6162 ARM9 400MHz

GPU: PowerVR SGX 531

Can I assume that this device is compatible with your roms ?

thanks miazza
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
For sure you didn't paid any attention to my reviews... because that was explained there.
