yes, for STAR-N8000,

I had used the N8000,last week. and finished kitchen ROM and make patch file for this machine.

if you want to try , the download as the below:

STAR N8000 custom ROM: Taiwan101_STAR-N8000_V.05

http://www.4shared.com/zip/gqj-9NXP/Taiwan101_STAR-N8000_V05-1.html?

STAR N8000 Custom Recovery

http://www.4shared.com/archive/WwY5NpqK/Star_N8000_recovery.html

DATA extend to 2.5G for STAR-N8000

http://www.4shared.com/zip/YIyjhfu8/signed_taiwan101_data25g.html

Root tool for STAR-N8000

http://www.4shared.com/rar/tE7CR9yf/MTK6575_ICS_root.html?

Flash tool for STAR-N8000

http://www.4shared.com/rar/ZxCXTf-f/SP_Flash_Tool_v3120601.html?

Flash process:

1) backup your data and data of /sdcard

2) Flash the custom recovery image (but its Chinese language~)

3) wipe system/data/cache/dalvik-cache

4) install the zip of ROM from sdcard

5) install the zip "data2.5g.zip"

6) reset the phone

ps: install the data2.5g.zip will format the data and sdcard(internal 2g) partition!

so backup data before flash ,please !

Good Luck~

Hi Johnny,

First, may I know if I flash a custom recovery image, does it cause a loss in data, as I don't want to install all my apps again. If not, how to flash it and is it an English recovery image :confused:

Second, Does Taiwan101_Haipai-i9220_V.01 rom same as angelobiz's rom ?

Third, What purpose does Haipai i9220 data to 2.5g serve ?

Thanks in advanced ;)
[Android General] phonefromchina:
1) flashing recovery does not affect data. is still chinese.

2) angelos image is almoust the same, it makes all steps comprehesive.

3) 2.5gb data means never again out of storage for apps. you loses "internal sdcard". only useful if you have hardware sdcard.

great job! Thank you!

as soon as I get my phone here I'll tell you

Thank you!

With my old phone I edited my recovery once. It will take some time to remember details... I just dont have time enough to do.

Pricipally speaking it is the same procedure as editing boot.img

very comprehensive tutorial! thank you!

I just want to say THX to you!

[Android General] richardkemp:
Sorry, what did you actually solve by doing this, I don't understand. I actually didn't notice any improvements when I corrected this typo on my phone :-(

As a WARNING to all you, and anyone who hasn't bought yet but is thinking about it:

You might have noticed (I did) that the phone only charged properly with the cable supplied with it, all of the other micro USB cables which work perfectly on all my other devices just slip out of the Haitech i9220 socket without gripping, or they only charge at certain angles. This was annoying, but I just used the cable provided with the phone and it was okay. However, now even the cable which came with the phone is giving me similar problems: it has to be at a specific angle in the phone to connect and supply power. This is a big problem, as sometimes I wake up and my phone has not charged overnight!

So, those who already bought, take great care with the microUSB port, it may be a big weak point for these devices!

All the best.

PS Great to see some big progress being made with getting a fully working firmware.

hi jhonny

I have installed your update for 2.5gb... but nothing succeded. I cannot see more 2 gb memory inside and memory for app I have always 500mb.

Someone has tried it? He have some results? Or I have mistaken somethings? I have flashe it with recovery and formatted cache and devil

Johnny add))

flash the recovery image will NOT cause any damage ! don't worry!

and if you can NOT use the chinese recovery system , you can back to official with flash-tool !

Second, Does Taiwan101_Haipai-i9220_V.01 rom same as angelobiz's rom ?

Johnny add))

sorry, i never use the ROM from angelobiz, I do NOT sure ?

Third, What purpose does Haipai i9220 data to 2.5g serve ?

Johnny add))

Original , the /data space only 512MB, easy full when you install the app from Google Play ,. if extend the space , you could install more app to you phone!

Why don't use the external sdcard(sd-ext or..) due to internal space r/w speed will be better than external.
[Android General] angelobiz:
hi....

i want say a thing:

i never make a rom... i don't be able to make nothing:

"my rom" is the rom of JHONNY!!!!!

you must say thanks to him :-)!!!!!

I only read in china, russian, english, italian forum and "merge" and "share" all information!!!

:-)

thanks again to JHONNY, "yiminghung" :-) :-)

after this...

Jhonny i have tried your script for 2,5gb of memory.... but it for my phone no good....

now both the PC and the phone is no longer recognize 'the partition with 2GB internal. Indeed, the phone says that the sd is damaged and ask me to format it. The external memory is ok, but when i say yes to format the wrong sd ... the phone format the sd external. -)

after flashing your zip, i restore a nandroid backup but the problem still exists.

Now i go to try to flash all firmware...

ADD: ok now i flashed all firmware again and i can use internal memory of 2gb again .-)

now i go to try again your script...

Now i flashed all original firmware of 7may, with flashtool... and front camera this time is ok.... I dont know what i must thinks :-) .-)

ADD2

i flashed another time your script for 2,5gb. i note now that when flashing i have this string" plaese flash the tawain101_star-n8000_v_05 first."

it is only error of string or i have a wrong file?

REMEMBER TO ALL: if you muse SMMDT, please send me the sensor string you used!!!!!

[Android General] angelobiz:
Hi Jhonny,

i have updated from firmware 7 may using custom recovery and your zip file...

but it isnt good!! the process is ok... but when i start the phone, i see robot with android... but after do nothing! i hear the gingle, but display became all white.

I have flash your system.img with flashtool is ok.

Has anyone tried to use the recovery for flashing file zip?

it is a problem of recovery... or I that i dont be able to use it :-) ?

Angelo
[Android General] yiminghung:
Acutally, it just extend /data/app /data/dalvik-cache

please confirm with RootExplorer !

PS: if you want to see /data space become 2.5GB ! should need to change MRB!(I had no idea)

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

Johnny reply))

Why we want to use the internal storage space to /data/app & /data/dalvik-cache?? (extend the /data to 2.5G).

Normally, the app always install to /data/app , Official setting is 512MB for data partition, if we want to install more app, How to do ? Link2SD is the solution ,maybe .

my idea is use the internal storage to cover this issue , it have 2.0G space !

so I add some script into the init.rc , define the internal storage mount to /data/app and /data/dalvik-cache !

before:

internal storage = /sdcard/

external storage = /mnt/sdcard2

after:

internal storage = /ext -> mount to /data/

external storage = /sdcard

A-1. After flash the data2.5g.zip , you can NOT use the internal storage with PC , due to this space already mounted to /data , please put the files to external storage ! (will be better, I think!)

A-2 sorry, I forget to change the flash script when edit the zip file, forget it ~ just flash it !!

A-3 last time , I provide the system.img that is the same system of Taiwan101_Haipai-i9220_V.01.zip

Star N8000 actual dimension

Hi yiminghung@johnny..

u have star n8000 izzit?..

what is the actual dimension for this phone?..

coz when i google..each phone dealer got different dimension show at their website..huhu..
[Android General] angelobiz:
ok... i think to understand you...

i understand your idea and i think that is very very good... internal memory of 2gb is useless for me,.

but after i flash your zip... phone give me always a warning that sd is damaged and that i must format it...

it is normal?

and i try to full 512mb for apps... and i cannot uploaded more 512mb of data...

for this i thinks that i wrong somethings...

and flashing system.zip with recovery , my phone no start more... it stuck with white screen after first robot logo...

so i thinks that perhaps the custom recovery is no totally good.... i thinks.... :-)

someone has upgraded phone with file zip and he Have a success?

thanks for YOUR WORK again!!!

Welcome to XDA-Developers!

Hi andrey,

Welcome to XDA-Developers!

I don't own the Haipai I9220, but I have STAR N8000, which can be rooted the same way as the Haipai. I think you are facing the problem because you haven't installed the Android SDK. Try googling or better off search here about the Android SDK.

If I'm not completely forgotten, in order to install the Android SDK, you have to install Java Development Kit (JDK) first. It should be easy to find those files as they are open source.

I think you can download JDK from Sun Micro System website. Just take the latest version from there.

And for the Android SDK, I think it is from Android website.

Here are the steps after you have downloaded the files:

1. Install JDK, follow the instructions, and you should be fine.

2. Install Android SDK, again follow the instructions. But while installing, you will notice that the Android SDK will try to download files from the internet.

3. Try the rooting process again..

Good luck,

R1ZZ4

Haipai i9220 IMEI Rewrite Failed Attempts!

Haipai i9220 IMEI Rewrite:

Chinese IMEI instructions use ORIGINAL modem file (ver. 13

NOT

ver.

14

). All firmware folders in this thread contain ver. 14 modem file. Cannot re-write IMEI because modem will not initialize (incorrect modem file!)

File in question is: BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6575_S01_MAUI_11AMD_W11_50_SP_V14...Chinese instructions require "V13", not "V14."

Anyone write IMEI successfully? Please instruct! Is phone on or off when using SN Station program? Program reads COM port, but not modem file. Please assist! :confused::rolleyes:

your script for 2gb, after i installed it, i have a error ( warning of sd damaged)

your update.zip, after i installed it, my phone stuck after inizal android logo...

2 different zip= 2 wrong install....

Hurry up people... who have used custom recovery for install file zip???

It is possibile that only me have tried it???

i have tried it but i have this error

i do:

adb devices = result is ok. my phone is recognized

adb shell = and i have "1:shell@android:/ $"

1:shell@android:/ $ cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 > /sdcard/system.img

and i have

on Hipad Noble i9220, 5.2"

After updating Custom Recovery tool successfully by using the included flash tool, I then tried updating for 2.5GB data storage by:

1. copy the zip file (the Hipad version) to my sdcard

2. power off

3. press volume up+power buttons until seeing the super robot, to enter recovery mode

4. I saw Chinese menu which I don't understand a word, but I googled for equivalent English menu, and choose install from SDcard

5. then I choose the file I just copied in step 1

6. the update continued until saying successful

7. take battery out, put it in again, and press power button to have normal power up (or choose first item in the Recovery menu list to reboot)

8. the white "S" logo took a bit longer than usual, but eventually display as if I just got a new phone

9. do normal setup

10. check the storage

Very disappointed, my data/app storage is still 5xxMB (can't see the internal 2.xGB as usual).

What I've done wrong? Please.

update-1

: though the internal storage still shows 5xxMB, even I install so many apps, the used space of the internal storage barely increased. It seems my newly installed apps are placed in the "unseen" 2.5GB storage. Is it supposed to be like this?

I also attach the English equivalent photo of Recovery menu for reference here.

How to increase the rom size from 512MB to the size I desire?

For Hipad Noble i9220, 5.2inch

1. (on your Windows PC) Run the flash_tool.exe inside the Recovery folder

2. (on your Windows PC) File/Open scatter file: MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt

3. (on your Windows PC) press "Download" button on the Flash_Tool menu

4. connect your phone, without battery, to your PC with usb cable (MTK6575 vcom driver should already be installed)

5. (on your Windows PC) it should start flashing the recovery into your phone, until completed

6. unplug your phone

How do you know it works?

1.(on your phone) insert the battery back

2. (on your phone) press Volume up + Power buttons until you see the Robot rocket

3. (on your phone) You should see Recovery Menu in Chinese.

I flashed the 7 May rom, with replacing system.img the other day.

Today I then flashed the customer recovery, as I explained above (when I press Download, there is a popup message saying something like you are not flashing completed files, which I just ignore).

Then follow by using Custom Recovery to extend the data partition to 2.5GB, which I still don't know it works or not (see my post above).

Not sure I answered the question :D
[Android General] thihaz:
haha yes you did. but it doesn't seem to work for me though. I am quite ok with my 5 may rom from my seller.

may be same as 7 may rom.

Regarding with ROM Size, ROM size cannot be larger than 2GB because android system cannot handle it. 1GB ROM would be good enough for me. :D

[Android General] angelobiz:
OK :-)

I was able to install 2,5gb fix. but I do not know how .-)

i install it on a "virgin" phone.

i made so:

i install all firmware of 7 may after replaced fix system.img of jhonny and custom chinese recovery with flastool (now flashing with flastool is ok......)

after i install the file zip with custom recovery...

and it is now ok!!!

you see foto before and after!!

i thinks that before i had message "sd card damaged" because when i try to install the first time, i had memory full of app....ando so the script could not assign the rigth permits.

So if you no be able to install this usefull fix, you must have a "virgin" phone :-)

the fix will erase all the apps installed and always restores the original settings, even if you were using only the external memory

thanks again to JHONNY!!!!!!!!

ALL WE MUST thank him!

[Android General] bthoven:
Hi, Angleobiz,

Thanks for your screenshots. Mine also have big data/app/ partition now; though the Settings/Storage command still reports 512MB size.
[Android General] yiminghung:
Yes, The setting/Storage command still 512MB! Due to that partition had not change !!!! so partition information is correct !!!

We just mount the internal storage space to /data/app & /data/dalvik-cache cause phone could install more app !!

If want to change the partition size, should to change the MBR format !! but,...I do NO know,How to edit it ~

Actually, the correct flash process as the below:

1) flash the custom recovery image with flash-tool

2) into the recovery

3) 3 wipe first !

4) install the zip from sdcard -> Taiwan101_Haipai-i9220_V.01.zip

5) install the zip from sdcard -> Haipai-i9220_data2.5G.zip

6) reboot phone

FYI

Today, I also modify the data2.5g.zip , I add some mount path for /data

/data/data & /data/system

the new version data2.5g.zip download linke: http://www.mediafire.com/?8n1u8n72180iggd . it's recommendation to flash this new zip, when you first time to flash the data2.5g!

If you already flash the old version data2.5g.zip , 3 wipe is need !

only a minor bug; the symbol of $ (dollar) is wrong in phone fonts....

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

in this topic we talk of Haipai Noble I9220, and the firmware here is good only for this phone.

N8000 is another "clone" and it is no compatibile with "our" firmware.

I9220Pad is a different clone, and i don't know if it is compatibile...

you can try, but you can "brick" your phone.

also, if you have a backup of stock rom of your phone, you will unbrick easily.

before upgrade, you must have a rom dump of your phone
