Unable to see my device on Win 7

Ok this is what i did

> Few days back I used this program to successfully flash a custom ROM for my phone

> Today I powered off the phone, removed the battery from the phone kept the device manager open to see what happens like described by “Fireeee”

>When I connected the usb cable to the comp and then to the phone(battery reinstated) the Ports option within my device manager showed up for a two sec as if the devices was mounted/connected. Like how it is seen in the pic from Fireeee

>After two seconds it vanished as if there was no device connected and the port option disappeared.

like if there was no port option from the image from Fireeee
[Miscellaneous Android Development] newbie_vlc:
Why did you recommend remove smsreg.apk?

Only recommend remove from the mobiluncle roms?

Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Boleyn:
@Boleyn

As to ROM manager: Not sure how well that works with MTK anyway. What do you feel is the 'default' location for busybox?

I just noticed that ROM manager wouldn't run "fix permissions"....a google suggested that this could be due to lack of BusyBox. I thought that was odd as BusyBox must have been on the phone for Titanium Backup to be working (which it was). By "default" - I mean I went to the Market/Play and installed BusyBox from there. After that, the "fix permissions" under "ROM Manager" worked fine.

By the way I didn't have to do that on the gingerbread ROM, only ICS.

This is just an observation, don't think its overly important in the greater scheme of things! Hope to hve a further play at the weekend.

thanks agian

Question

Just a (stupid) question i'm sure but here it goes: I readed the flashing tutorial and posts on this forum and I cannot find a way to install the USB VCOM drivers on my A750 so please make a good deed and help a newly android user . Thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] elemer82:
Connect your phone to the PC then:

Follow this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26769133&postcount=108

And select the USB VCOM driver from the location you have downloaded to.

There's a translated chinese guide here - not perfect but its what I followed and it worked for me...

I had some difficulty to install VCOM driver, I'm noob...

To install Vcom driver I used the following:

1. remove battery

2. insert battery on phone

3. connect the usb cable to the phone -> then windows will recognize a different device

4. select the inf file from the driver package provided by cybermaus

Tried the ICS ROM:

1) Didn't know that it'll wipe out the internal sdcard, so lost backups of my apps data.

2) Network location in Maps worked right away. Was using the Etowalk 2.3.6 that didn't work.

3) Lost IMEI after flashing, showed invalid IMEI. It was backed up in the internal sdcard, but managed to restore back with the instructions in the first post.

4) Cannot install Whatsapp, Viber, some others. Not listed in Playstore when searched. Manual install also didn't work.

5) Thanks for the work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
1) Sorry. I included SDcard in the ICS, because I feared the partition size may be different, so it needs to be a full flash to adjust that. I will add a warning to fipo.But I also argue it should be obvious to backup on the external SD card, even when not flashing. Or better yet, backup on both...

2)good

3)I still wonder why some people loose IMEI, and some do not.

4)Others have installed those. It may be regional, see previous page. Also, some of those apps are on my Dev-Host folder for manual install

5)No problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
It seems S306 came out yesterday, but as an OTA update. Which means it may be hard to get outside of China. If anyone can locate a link, it would be much appreciated.

a750 update and issues..

Hi there, I used cybermaus's post to flash the ics beta, and your update, along with the play store at this link: //tinyw_in /Ko5N onto my new a750. Thanks for your help cybermaus!

I thought I'd give a wee update on some issues I've found, to see if others have found the same things.

1. Sometimes the device reports no signal even though I can send and receive calls and sms.

2. I do have the caller id issue. Contacts are saved in international format on my sim, and when calls and messages arrive to the device the arrive without the international prefix and hence are not recognized as being from any of my contacts. Is there something i can do to correct this

3. When I try to make third party apps default (such as dialers and messaging apps), I can't. The option to set as default is greyed out for third party apps, and the defaults option for stock apps is listed as 'defaults not set'. This is not an issue for launchers though.

Can i safely uninstall the stock apps using titanium?

4. I can't make purchases on the play store, though when I purchase an app via my cm7 nook color, i can then install the app onto my a750. weird?

On the other hand, location settings are working, and the os is responsive.

Oh, one last thing, I've noticed an OTA update available, if I install it will I lose english and need to remove all the chinese apps and language again?

Thanks for your help, and sorry about the long post...

I downloading the S306 update to my phone now. Lets see if I can find where it is downloaded to...

Edit: Downloaded OTA. It is placed here sdcard\googleota\update.zip - I have uploaded here and here.

Succesfully flashed it and rooted it. Also had to reflash GAPPS. Lets see if there is any changes....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
1) I did not see that.

2) Annoyingly, even though I am absolutely sure that it worked when I tested it, I now also have the issue back. Which is very bad, and very odd, because it was the only thing I really liked about ICS. If that is not working, I may as well stick to GB

3) Maybe an ICS thing?

4) Solution is one or two pages back

5) Probably yes, OTA will reset to start

Believe it or not, this morning that showed no usable links. These things can change by the hour. Also, while I speak German, there may be people who dislike seeing non-english on XDA.

Von den Daten her scheint es dem A750 zu entsprechen.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Well, its a bit off-topic (this is A750 ROM thread, not lets discuss all other phones thread) and also, I just bought a phone, so I am not planning to buy another one till at least EOY.

But if you must discuss, then I would favor for Lenovo P700 or Huawei U8832D (if that is a real MT6577, probably not), and certainly not for an MSM7227A based dual SIM

I guess A780 is Lenovo's A750, but with a different chip, they probably want to bet on both platforms, just to be sure.

third party sms app

Hello Guys,

I am using GO SMS App in my 2.3.6, however when I tried sending the message via SMS 2(which is my 2nd sim), my SIM 1 number was always used, even though I configured the Messaging in SIM Management to "Always Ask".

I did not encounter this kind of problem using the stock sms app.

Anyone of you encountered this kind of problem?

if there are workarounds on how to solve this problem, please advise.

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Timer2000:
I think it is no Problem with your SMS.

The SMS App don`t support Dual-Sim.

It is with Dialer the same.

The Touchpal Dialer support some Dual-Sim Phones.

The most Phones are Single-SIM,

so the Apps support them.

Hi cybermause,

I've just upgrade from S148_cybermaus_V1 to ICS_S306_120530_cybermause_ICS_V1 by just installed in CMW. But the result was just stuck in Lenovo logo for over 5 minutes.

So the question:

Did I put wrong process? or should I flash to S305 first instead of directly put S306 (your zip file) in CMW? Now already fallback to S148_Cybermause_V1 safe and sound.

Any thanks a lot for your best effor to get this thing done well....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
I cannot tell for sure, like all first posters, you forget to acknowledge that you follow instructions or not.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Arsol:
1. I did wipe cache and factory reset before applying your zip S306. Maybe this should be performed after apply zip not before.

2. I just did flashing from your S148 to your S305 and followed with your patch. It works well...finally I can taste ICS thru Lenovo....

3. I will then manually remove app that not relevant to my needs. Fortunatelly your morelocale didn't have my native ( Bahasa Indonesia)

Thanks a lot...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Timer2000:
I think the Cybermaus_ICS_A306_V1 is the Update für Phones with the S305.

For Install, the first step ist to install the S305.

@ Cybermaus: Is this Correct?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
No, its a full update. Entire boot and system partition is formatted and rewritten, so intermediate step of S305 should not be needed

My instinct is to say if you come from S14x, you need to clear userdata after or during (in the same recovery session) the flash.

You can make a custom locale for Bahasa Indonesia in MoreLocale2. If you want to know the 2-letter codes, press the ISO buttons.

ICS S306 Feedback

Hi cybermaus,

positiv feedback for the ICS 306 for you:

On my A750 was installed Etotalk Vers. 2.0 (S143 GB) and CWM Touch

Your S306 copied on the SD Card and started with CWM.

After 2 Minutes the Installation was finished an then restart.

and now what a suprise:

All apps (without the dropbox) automaticly would installed and ICS runs

perfect. (Rooted, Googlemarket everthing runs perfect)

Only 2 Questions I have to you :

1. The Lenovo Leafes are away (the original IC Lock screen is available)

Could I install the original Lenovo Screen ?

2. Menue/setting Language is english; Did you know in what File the Menuelanguage is

integrated.

Hi,

Complete and utter noob here!!! I just recievd aa A750 from merimobiles today and have managed to get the market on to it by using a link that they sent me (colonel zap). I have done that successfully but cannot find most of the apps I want in the store. Also there is no flash on the phone.

I am fairly new to android and wondered if there is a quick fix for me or do I have to flash the phone???

@ this discussion about Recovery:

Best flash the CWMR Touch from Post#2 Dev-Host page. with 592zn logo, not the one with MU logo. Unless if you read Chinese, than MU is probably good. But the CWMR Touch I found is good and works for both GB and ICS.

Indeed, see here.

Either follow the root/gapps instruction in 4th post, or flash my ROM, whichever you like best.

Hi MQC,

There are many ways to recovery menu. Alternatively, you can use terminal emulator app and just type # reboot recovery ....it will go there (your A750 must be in rooted)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
To be honest, if Mobile Uncle cannot go to Recovery, chances are a CLI command also cannot, as it seems obvious to assume MU is using that same CLI under the covers. Maybe your recovery is simply broken.

To make sure, when you run MU, does it show root or unroot mode? What other ROM's did you flash (in what sequence).

If we assume the recovery is broken, then you will have to reflash it. Using the flash method rather than the recovery method.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MQC:
My A750 is rooted and i think i use reflash like you guide. Thanks.

Multi-Lang?

I think its only a RU-Rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Likely indeed only RU was added (onto EN & CN)

Still its more than I do, so I added it in the list in the 4th post of alternatives.

I have been playing, and am hoping at some point in time, I can transplant all the languages from THLv9 to A750. But I got two busy weeks coming up at work.

EDIT: strike that: I am dissecting the ROM, and I see resources for at least 14 extra languages in there. This may be a REAL multilang ROM:

ar-de-es-fa-fr-in-it-nl-pt-ru-th-tr-vi-zh

I also have hints (but I am not sure) it is based on S305 rather than S306

EDIT2: Further dissecting shows other elements have no multi-lang, or different sets of languages, sometimes even the orignal Chinese missing. I am starting to think (forgive me if I am wrong Anton) that the ROM is not so much 'translated' or carefully had the resources transplanted from another MT6575 ICS ROM (as I have some vague plans to), but is a mixture of several apk's and roms from other devices. If so, a warning may be in place, as stability may suffer.

It may for example explain why above a USB bug is mentioned. I am doing other stuff, but anyone trying out this ROM, please do a good test on broken functions or completely missing menu options, and report back. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
On the matter of the S306 ROM: I have been running it 2 full days now. Everything seems to work.

Hi cybermaus. Still waiting to get my A750 - the first one got lost from HK post. With the Singapore post seems to run better...

Apropos your problem: a guy on a german Forum, that uses your ROM reports that he has the same issue:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
It is normal that if you turn off GPS the position is not precise. And for that reason, it is also normal that some apps refuse to work without GPS.

With tower positioning error can be up to one or two km, which is why those apps do not trust that position. WiFi-AP based position is usually more precise, but if the owner of the AP sold his device it could even explain your 300km error, because while google-streetview-car thinks the WiFi-AP is in one location, it has moved. My sister moved to Sweden, and whenever I am with her, my phone thinks I am in Limburg because of this.

GPS is the only really reliable source.

As to Play Store. Were you saying it shows *too much* apps? Most people complain about too little.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cybermaus:
Not quite my problem, I do not need to remove battery. For me, it is almost as if the lock screen still works, but there is nothing behind the lock screen.
