Hi vasu4m, dangk,

I have tried to simulate, when you inserted the SIM card into the phone and power ON in the 1st time, initially the it will pop up a window telling "New SIM detected" with "Telco" name in the window, that means the phone detected the presence of SIM card, then PIN code page will pop up asking you to key in the PIN code for the SIM unlock.

I only saw "signal indicator with X mark" whenever the "in-activated" SIM card was inserted. The phone will still recognize this SIM card (from which Telco) as it will display in the "Settings - SIM management - SIM information", if you "checked" the SIM, you will see "signal indicator with X mark", if you "unchecked" the SIM, you will see "airplane" instead, together with a "triangle" at the top-left position...

So please check your SIM if it is activated, and that's all I know of. You should refer to the seller (your friend's seller) if you still not able to get the "green signal indicator" on the phone. Thank you.

Hi ad50450,

Did you get exactly the same phone as displayed by johnpugazh, if yes, then just flash his "System.img" as this is the easiest way to root your phone, other wise, you will probably want to try your luck with the method posted by BoydP in this thread. Thank you.

I managed to root with the files in the original post using SP Flash tool. The reason why it wasn't working for me the first time I tried was that I didn't have the scatter file in thhe same place as the image file.

Now I'm on a quest to improve the call quality. I find it really hard to hear people if there's any background noise. Sound quality is terrible through headphones too leading me to think its its a sound card or software problem of some sort, a voice algorithm or something? Volume+ didn't help.

A9220 custom recovery for 1gb device

I have good news for 1gb a9220 device owner (aka e1108_v73_jbl1flash8p4) who wants to root/backup their phone.

I just finished modding a custom recovery based on 512mb recovery by replacing original boot.img with 1gb boot.img and tested to work fine (credit to linerty for the base of 592zn.com recovery image file)

To use this, please make sure you have 1gb rom via engineer mode by typing *#*#3646633#*#* on dialpad and choose Memory > Nand Flash ... if it states

then this recovery is for you.

Using 512mb recovery on 1gb device will show below error due to missing partition when boot into recovery:

here is 1gb custom recovery:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/2xHYi1o8/a9220_1gb_recovery.html (scatter file included)

Use SP flash tool, load the scatter file, make sure you only tick recovery and choose the img file ... remove battery and usb cable, press download on SP flash tool ... insert battery .. then insert usb cable (you have 15 sec to do this) ... once it finish, remove and reinsert battery, hold Vol up + power to boot into recovery

-------- after booting into the custom recovery -----------

Now you can flash the uniroot2.signed.zip to root it (get it here) or make nandroid backup, flash custom zip etc. (to flash custom zip - eg: custom rom, make sure toggle signature verification to disable 1st) :D

512mb device (e1108_v73_jbl1) please use the custom recovery as stated in this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26293140&postcount=21 (592zn.com_recovery_Star_A9220_MT6573.img)

Note : It is advisable to make a full factory backup using mobileuncle gscript after rooting your device as stated here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27039072

Disclaimer: please understand that I'm just trying to help and do not take any responsibilities if you brick your device. (mt6573 devices won't easily brick if you have your backup or the right factory firmware - simply run SP flash tool and overwrite for factory firmware or use recovery mode to restore backup)

ps : recovery mode is good until you mistakenly flash preloader/dsp_bl/uboot img file .. other than these 3 files, the phone should be up and working after restore.

Hi all A9220 users,

Anyone know how to disable the "Home" button from waking up the phone? The old version of kernel did not enable the "Home" button to wake up the phone, so only the power button was used to wake up the phone.

The reason is, I keep the phone in the back pocket, sometime the "Home" button was pressed the screen turned on, and that consumed a lot of battery, and also heat up my butt:D:D.

Hi all A9220 friends,

For those who need the original ROM for FULL flashing, our friend johnpugazh already posted the link long ago, the file name is "MPH-6030" (big file size ~637M), I have troed again justnow, still available for download.

Unzip this file you will see 2 folders, one is "6030", another is "20120328-e1108-v73-jbl1", and all what you needed are inside the "20120328-e1108-v73-jbl1". This in ORIGINAL and UNROOTED.

After successful FULL Flashing, if you need to ROOT the phone, just download the system.img file, link also from his same post.

These are the links paste from johnpugazh's post.

***********************************************************

If you need original ROM for flashing fully, download this file. note it's not rooted.

http://upload.sunsky-online.com/res/...s/MPH-6030.zip

If you need rooted system.img, download this file flash only this.

http://www.mediafire.com/?ytxpjyvnftc2fv9

************************************************************

BUT, all these are only correct if you are using the same phone specs like posted by johnpugazh, other wise, will be risky to try.
