anyway, can you explain me exatcly how to change imei with zopo tool? thank you so much for ypu help!

in zopo mobile you can make a backup and restore imei... ma you don't have a backup :-)

you can enter in engineering mode from zopotool, and in this menu there is a option for read and eventually change imei..

but i never used it.

in the first post, there a program for change imei also...

but i never used it...

PS sorry, I can't save screenshot, I don't know why O.o

try to hold for same second volume - (minus) and power together

for sd... you have another sd? i thinks that there is a problem with repartiton of mbr.. but i don't have a sd that it isn't good.... so i cannot study this...

sorry , my mistake !! correct link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ksrp9w6238akp9a/signed_star-i9220_data2.5g_v2.zip

and one more thing, about the Repartition_I9220PAD.signed.zip, yesterday, I verify this file on STAR-i9220 , the DATA partition size correct, but external sd card ca NOT mounted ! Which file need to modify ?? or updater-script need the change ??

any recommend to me? Thank you so much~
[Android General] thihaz:
thanks angelo but it's ok coz I use firmware flashing tool rather than using the com port one. you know what i mean. :D

Now I stick to 7 may firmware which works everything except soft wifi signal which I don't use it much. But i will be lucky only for 2 years coz our operators are revising data plan from 12GB per month to 1GB or 2GB :(

The camera's focus got problem sometimes but it is still ok.

But thanks anyway. ;)

Hi angelo,

I've the same problem too with the "angelobiz v. 1.0 Haipai Noble I9220_update" firmware. It didnt detect any of my sd card(5 of them), but when i go back to the 7 may firmware its ok. Normally, if its normal it should show 3 partition, Internal storage(2.06g), usb storage(depend on your sd card size) and sd card(511mb). Did i make any mistake?

1. Flash 7 may firmware with flash tool

2. Flash CWM_recovery_HaiPai_I9220(BM)

3. Flash angelobiz v. 1.0 Haipai Noble I9220_update using CWMR

By the way, for your information, i did success with the first I9220 when i bought 2 weeks ago, the one without success is the one just arrive;););)

I was guessing maybe the new one with new firmware mess it up?

This is the firmware of my new arrive(screen shot)

There are two links:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dp4nag3v49dx653/CWM_recovery_Star_I9220(BM).rar

First, try to use full version. If boot.img backup will not work (phone will hang), then use CWM_recovery_Star_I9220(BM).rar

Check your vold.fstab file, may be mount point for external sdcard has unavailable. And try to reformat sdcard from PC via cardreader, filesystem - fat32, default cluster size.

[Android General] angelobiz:
hi...

i don't know why some members don't see the external sd card.

some members solve it changing sd, some formatting sd with pc,

i'm trying to study this.... but in my phone all sd that i used, they are ok.

with my phone i do in this mode:

flash all firmware of 14 may

(the update use boot.img of 14may)

flash recovery cwm

flash update.zip with Cwm

resquez , do you have this problem with repartiton fix on DPAD?

if you have this problem,

flash again firmware stock

flash CWM recovery

flash Taiwan101_Haipai-i9220_V.02-lite

so you have fix firmware and 2gb for data ( you don't see more the internal sd, it is ok)

after if you want, you can try to install

Repartition_I9220PAD.signed

and see if you have sd external card

my update would all this operation in only one time

network bands

Thanks so much for all of your help in getting the firmware as good as it can be! I have one question though. On fastcardtech.com there is a photo showing that it has 800/850/1900/2000 bands for WCDMA. If this is true then it would give us 3G in the US using AT&T. I have T-Mobile so I can't check this out, anyone have any luck?

i calculate for system.img

start address is 023e4000

Hello,

the CWM Recovery I used on my for N8000 is in chinese. Is there a english version or someone can translate it.

In fact the Recovery version I get on the screen is :

"...A750... Touch v2.0.1..."

"...(m44.com.cn)

in addition, I try to flash with the cwm recovery the Taiwan101 STAR-i9220 Custom ROM V.03

The flashing process was executing properly

I executed the "wipe data/factory reset" & "Wipe cache"

but I was not able to find the "Wipe Dalvik cache because" of chinese language that I do not understand as I am french.

So, I reboot and I just get on screen the picture of blue android robot, then black screen !!!!

For who that they have install my update HAPAI Noble v. 1,0

and they dont see more the sd external,

they must do so:

flashing all firmware of 14 may ( boot uboot preloader etc etc)

flashing cwm recovery

flashing update with cwm

if you dont see still the sd memory external

1) change sd memory

or

2)

format sd memory with pc in fat32 and default cluster

or

3)

download this file:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?btmxhdot738rbrw

and with root explorer

go in system/etc directory

rename vold.fstab in vold.fstab.old ( for have a copy)

copy the downloaded vold.fstab in system/etc

reboot the phone.

eventually make a wipe.

in this mode you lose the internal 512mb, but you can see again the sd

(thanks to johnny .-)

for guru :-) :-)

the problem is in vold.fstab...

if we disabled internal memory by vold.fstab...it seems that all can see the external sd...

but why....my phone is good and I see sd1 and sd2 together with original vold.fstab?

and i cannot do a test ... because i dont have this problem........ .-(

I noticed that it has become 2GB.

I just got used to two SD cards :)

I noticed also that the animation effect in ICS Launcher (during the opening of the application manu) is not working. It's a non important thing but very anoing for me :( Can anyone confirm or denied that ?

I just found out, that I cannot download from play.google.

I get the error:

The app is free.

tomorow I will write some more info about that rom.
[Android General] richardkemp:

[Android General] zbeyuz:
I found a review for this phone here: Galaxy Note With 1GHz MT6575 Chip Review In the video, however, the wireless signal was full, not same as ours only 1-2 bar. What was wrong ?
[Android General] richardkemp:
Probably just sitting right on top of the router. Without breaking down the phone it's hard to say, but unfortunately it's likely to just be bad antenna placement causing poor signal. We will be better informed about this when more phones using the MTK6575 chipset are sold: we can compare to see if they have similar issues. I for one am experiencing a definite bug in the WiFi though: although the signal is weak it will connect and work, but not for long. The connection randomly drops and the access point is disabled from then on (reconnecting is forbidden).

Also the non-functional 3G I mentioned earlier was my own stupid fault, just got confused with all the many places I must tick "turn on data connection"
[Android General] thihaz:
there you go

BUILD number: ALPS.ICS.MP.V1.11
[Android General] richardkemp:
Thanks. This is the same version as mine came installed with, but interestingly the kernel build date on mine is April 26 22:12:01 CST. I'll have to have a look see if any changes were actually made or if it was just rebuilt.
[Android General] zbeyuz:

No, GPS is fail in this firmware. I am waiting for a new rom to come :D

secro.img kb 2

system.img kb 278999

firmware.info

MT65x3_v2e.ver

or

how i can do it a full backup?

another question..

but this phone has a recovery?

if i push power + vol+ i have only a boot with android logo whit robot whit a red triangle, any button i push nothing happen... i must remove battery for off it.

[Android General] angelobiz:
i tried with usb cable plugged too...

i enter in "something" mode, i have post a photo, with logo with robot and red triangle, but i cannot do anything.

My pc recognize it as unknown devices, buttons do nothing... i must pull out battery for reboot

ADD: i make a factory reset.... the logo of "recovery" has changed while phne formatted data..

so there is a recovery.. but i can use it?

2) SOLVED i no have a good version of google market. i have try all version of these post, until a v 3.5.1.9 with no restriction. i found all aps... but when i try to download them i have " error 921"

i try to rename vending.apk or phonesky.apk too..

ADD: i have installed the last version of original google market 3.5.19, and it no good... but i make a factory reset... and now it is ok!!!

ADD

3) how i can upgrade firmware? i have installed last version of flashtool.. i charge file scatter... i push "download"... but flashtool no found port... "broom error" if i try flash all firmware....

[Android General] richardkemp:
Can you access paid apps as well? Great news if so!
[Android General] zbeyuz:
Hi, I think you should install driver for mtk6575 instead of mtk6573, which can be downloaded from here: Haipai I9220 MTK6575

Tips: After you installed Google Play 3.5.1.9, you just need to clear cache in GP and Google Services FrameWork in Setting - Apps and then you are good to go. No need for factory reboot.

P/s: Which brand and model of router are you using now ? My wifi signal is quite low and I don't know how to improve it :(
[Android General] joshting:
Really interested in getting this phone but still uncertain after reading all the issues related to it in this thread. At the same time, am glad that there is a budding community here to support this phone and coming variants of MTK 6575 5+ inchers.

Hi joshting, welcome to my thread :D .The website that you provided indeed cheaper than the one I bought, which was around $199 and it has gone up to $215 now.

Angelo, On your english link for the translation,

it is the version 5.5.0.4

but on my Star N8000 phone, the version written on screen is Touch v2.0.1

So, there is a difference.

I think that I flashed the wrong version of the recovery

So, how can I flash the other version of the recovey ?

because, I can only access to Recovey "Touch v 2.0.1"

In fact, with this version I flash properly the firmware "Taiwan101_STAR-i9220_V.03" on my N8000, but after the reboot, I get the blue robot picture then nothing, only Black Screen !!!!

Is the "Star N8000" phone and "Start i9220 PAD" are the same phones and can use the same rom "Taiwan101_STAR-i9220_V.03" ?

because while executing script flashing it is written "START-I9220 Pad", but my phone is Start N8000

[Android General] angelobiz:

Very good idea. Are there any volunteers? :)
