The same thing happened to me here in the Philippines.

What I found out is that it was unable to detect my Carrier settings automatically and thus, you need to manually enter the Access Point Names (APN).

Simply go to Settings > Other > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.

When I went there, I saw that it detected my carrier, but when I checked, for some reason a proxy server number and port was entered.

Comparing that to the APN settings given by my carrier, I deleted the proxy server and port, saved it, and boom, my internet and mms started working. :)

Yes it is dual sim active. You don't need to switch to be able to receive calls and text.

You however need to specify which sim to use before sending of calling. :)

[Android General] chubby65:
What's the point of that?

You couldn't talk on both lines at the same time
[Android General] macelovee:
is your carrier straight talk also? if possible could you send me a screenshot of your phone apn settungs?
[Android General] macelovee:
if i sent my star n8000 to anyone would they help me root or something!

i will compensate! in desperate need of help! :(
[Android General] jpalpano:
Is rooting it alk you need?

I can help you with that. But you don't need to send me the phone. We can do a webex meeting where we can talk using ompc soeakers and mic. I will then be able to see your pc screen (not control) and give you instructions how to do it.

No. When you are talking in sim1, who ever calls you on sim2 can not go through. Although I haven't tried it on this phone but i had a dual active sim from samsung phone before (not android) and that was the case.

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

No. My carrier is not straight talk. But you can googke apn settongs of your carrier.

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

It could be the APN settings of your mobile internet is incorrect. This phone has a tendency to add proxy servers to the settings. Check with at&t what their apn settings are and make sure it matches yours. (Settings>Others>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names).

Calls go straight to voicemail

Has anyone experienced calls going straight to voicemail on this phone? Today someone rang me at 5:30 but my phone didn't ring and then an hour later I get a message telling me I have a voice mail.

I've got full signal and have been receiving texts and emails all day and I just rang myself and the phone rang fine so I don't know why sometimes it doesn't ring.

Stock SMS Messaging App

So I can't change the settings. Can anyone send me an apk of this stock messaging app.

Star N8000 dont notify me the calls

Hi guys, and sorry for my bad English.

Recently, I bought a Star N8000. This phone is perfect for me, but it has a problem.

After to wipe cache and wipe data, the phone revokes the entrant calls. It doesnt notify me that calls and it watchs like a received calls. For the person who calls me, I seem to be busy.

I had a backup since November and restore that backup, and for 3 hours it works perfect, but looks like that returns the problem.

Can anybody help me, please? Thank you very much. :)

Before I throw away my Star N8000

Hi guys...today almost a month my N8000 died..I dont know whats going on. Each time I'm powering up my phone, it will enter "Android system recovery <3e>. Already wipe data/factory reset also the same. :(

Connect my phone via usb to pc and it's not detect at all. :( .. For what I know, "Android system recovery <3e> " is an factory recovery mode and there is no way i can flash a new rom with it. The only way is, connect it to PC using usb wish also not detected at all. :( Already replace with 3 new usb cable and connect it almost into 10 pc's but still fail and not even sound in windows indicate that the usb connect are heard. :(

Is there any method so I can re-flash a new rom and bring my phone back alive???

Help me guys....I really love this phone... :angel:

Thanks for your time and sorry for my bad English...I'm Malaysian

Down this Firmware(CWM version) and dont extract it, copy it to your microsd card then flash it using your system recovery. Hope it work for you. My star 8000 mtk6575 currently is using it, its version is 4.0.6 base 4.0.3

http://www.sendspace.com/file/uj3jqx
[Android General] jpalpano:
That happened to me also when I tried to flash a ROM via CWM and that ROM was somehow incompatible with my hardware version.

Your phone will not be detected by the PC since it is not boot up.

However, what you need to do is check if your PC can detect your phone if your phone is turned off and battery is out.

if it is, then you can still flash it using SP Flash Tool. You just have to make sure you flash the correct firmware. Do you remember the original version of your phone?

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

I think he mentioned that he doesn't have the CWM recovery. Only the stock Recovery. So he cannot flash it because the factory recovery does not have the Install zip from SD card option.
[Android General] Ganazz79:
Thanks for your fast reply....for your info...Pc's not detect my phone even the battery is taken out...my original firmware is e1808_v75_jbl2_120807 and yes I only able to access to factory recovery mode. :(

Advice needed and thanks again....
[Android General] uToTMeH8:
Look for a ROM dump of your jbl2 120807 and flash with spflashtool or clockworkmod. If that doesn't work try the next steps. *WARNING* Bluetooth and WIFI may not work after flashing my dump because you are on an older build. LewaRom may work for you!

You're running an older version than mine, but it may be worth a try to put clockworkmod on and restore this backup I posted. If that doesn't work then try LewRom (link above) in CWM. Last resort is to flash my dump to overwrite all files.

Look here for help on installing mediatek drivers and flashing only CWM recovery to your device (towards the end of the article)

Touch screen broken

Hi Jpalpano, hi everybody!! I need help, a few days ago my STAR N8000 fell down, and the touch screen is broken and doesn't work, :( I found in internet that there is a replacement for the screen, but I have read that some cell phones have the Inner screen ( the LED) pasted to the touch screen, therefore it's imposible change it without the LED, but I read your post and that gave me a little bit of hope, I have asked to some people but they told me that also will be complicated to change it and may not work , but as I read here you did it by yourself, and that sounds great.

Please, could you tell me if it is really complicated as people says??? :confused:

Thank you !!!
[Android General] Ganazz79:
Hi uToTMeH8...thanks for your reply... as I said before, I only can access into factory recovery mode. Any pc's will not detect my phone via usb. No sound of connection at all. With battery, w/o battery, power on, power off all the same....Each time I'm powering up my phone, after android flying logo appear, it will straight enter the recovery mode <3e>. I already have SPFtool and CWM recovery.img.....still no use as my phone will not connected into any pc's...Already buy 3 new Usb cable including blackberry cable...tested into 10 pcs with Win7, Win764, WinXP SP2, WinXPSP3 and it's all the same...no connection at all...

I've downloaded A DUMP 16-07-2012 from this forum...when go into recovery mode and select "apply update from SD Card", it's taken around 15 sec before error came out. The error is "E:bad boot load error. Please update your system now"

When I press the button, recovery ask me to locate the update.zip inside SD Card.

I do this process again after I copy my original F/W and rename it as update.zip. After pointing to this update.zip.....Next error came out says some thing like "E:signature error........." :confused:

What should I now?

All your advice are really appreciated.... :angel:

[Android General] uToTMeH8:
Make sure you only flash Dump files for your JBL version. Mine is JBL2, if I flashed a JBL1 dump then I would have a crazy acting phone. DON'T DO IT!

If you flashed the wrong preloader on your phone then you are screwed. You will not be able to flash the dump files from recovery like you have been doing, you need to use SP Flash Tool. To get SP Flash Tool to work you need to install the preloader drivers in windows. Always pull the battery and put it back in whenever you want to get the preloader to connect to windows, so you can use SP Flash Tool to rewrite everything on your phone. If you don't pull the battery and put it back in then it will charge and not connect the preloader.

Open device manager in windows, pull your battery out then put it back in, connect the phone to the computer USB and look for anything to happen in device manager. If you have the drivers installed correctly the preloader should pop up in device manager then disappear very fast. If the drivers are not installed then you will see MTK preloader or something like that in device manager. Then you will have to install the preloader drivers manually. If nothing happens at all then I really don't know what to do. It should connect the preloader in device manager if you are to able to get to recovery.

When the preloader drivers are squared away download SP Flash Tool and put all of your ROM dump files in the same folder. Start flash_tool.exe, load the scatter file for MTK 6575, Make sure the top 2 in red & sec_ro (my dump doesn't have this file) are not checked. If all of the files don't load automatically then you will have click on the text next the check boxes and load them individually. Android = system.img .Once they are loaded make sure your phone is disconnected with the battery out. Press download in flash tool. Put the battery in and connect to usb. Everything should flash properly, you will know when you have the green circle. Disconnect the phone and hold volume up and power to boot into recovery. Factory reset and reboot.
[Android General] Ganazz79:
Hi uToTMeH8....Thanks for your valued advice.

I'm downloading your DUMP file rite now as my JBL same as U.

I will install it tomorrow and I'll update the result here...

Thanks again uToTMeH8...:good:
[Android General] Ganazz79:
Hi uToTMeH8.....

It's seem that the flash of using your DUMP has failed. Maybe I install it wrong way. Same Error came

"E:bad boot load (SDOTA)

I don't know what it mean or I install it a wrong way. Should I install a DUMP file using CWM recovery or using SPF tool? If yes thats mean

I will not able to recover my phone back as my the phone will not connect to pc and I only have a factory recovery mode.

can u explain to me the process to install your dump file?

Thanks again for your patience...

Phone freezes and gets hot!

About once a week when I take my phone out of my pocket I press the on button but nothing happens. The phone is completely unresponsive and the back feels warm. The only solution is to pull the battery and restart. Does anyone else get this? Any ideas what might cause it?
[Android General] uToTMeH8:
I explained how to use the dump .img files with SP Flash Tool in my post above. If your phone isn't being detected by the computer when you pull the battery, put it back in and plug the phone into the computer by the cable then I really don't know what to do. There isn't much you can do with stock recovery mode unless you have a signed update.zip from the manufacturer. I would try to contact whoever you bought the phone from.

I just moved my Straight Talk Sim Card into one of the 2 slots on the new phone and powered it on. It did the rest for me. I had to go into the APN and reassign that to the correct one. I can email you all the settings I used to get mine up and running with Root.

Video Tutorial for Flashing the Star N8000 - on the works.

[/COLOR]

It's not that complicated.

In Fact, I already broke the screen of my phone 3 times! (carelessness), but managed to bring it back to life by replacement screens.

Although I had trouble finding a supplier for the replacement screen because all sellers do not ship to my country.

That's why when one seller agreed to make arranagements to ship it to me, I was so grateful that I made a video tutorial for him to use in his website. I branded it with his company name and link.

Here is the youtube video.

anyone have the rom with better autofocus or jbl2 ? pleae
[Android General] jpalpano:
Clockwork can't mount /sdcard/

I have this.

It's the Aug 07 2012 ROM for jbl2.

But using the uboot of jbl1. I already customized it (samsung boot logo and boot animation, samsung touch sounds and ringtones, Jellybean keyboard, samsung look of the settings menu page), but the problem is I cannot make a clock work backup.

For some reason, it can only mount the internal sd (512mb) and cannot find my external sd.

Therefore, when creating a backup though clockwork using internal, it says insufficient space. :(

When I go to clockwork and select Install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sd card, it only shows

E: Can't mound /sdcard/

If I go to advanced, then mount sdcard, it shows me the same error.

I wonder what's wrong. It was working fine when I was using a 4.0.6 ROM but when I switched back to July 5 Rom, no recovery seem to work with 'install zip from sdcard' anymore.

[Android General] jpalpano:
Ok. This should be easy. But you have to do it via Android SDK. Download the download SDK and follow the instructions below.

Remove both sim cards from your phone then turn it on.

1. Install the drivers

- enable USB Debugging

- attach the cable to your computer

- use the attached driver for it (different driver than what we use for SP Flash Tool)

2. Using your Windows Explorer, navigate to the Android SDK folder and open the folder 'platform-tools'.

- In my example, I put the Android SDK in the root of My Computer Driver C:, so I opened C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools

3. Hold the Shift key then right click on a white space inside that folder

- Select 'Open command window here' on the pop up menu

- A command prompt will show up with the current folder's directory (in my case, C:\>AndroidSDK\platform-tools>

4. To make sure you have installed the drivers properly, type 'adb shell' and press enter

- This will show something like * daemon not running. starting in now on port 5037*

- This will then show device and a serial number. If it doesn't, then you have to reinstall the driver I gave you.

5. Next, type adb shell

- This will then give you a $ command prompt

6. Copy the following replacing 1234567890 with your real IMEI 1 (get it from back of your phone)

- echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,7, "35558000021234567890"'> /dev/pttycmd1

- go back to the $ command prompt then right-click > paste (since Ctrl + V will not work)

- press Enter

7. Copy the following replacing 1234567890 with your real IMEI 1 (get it from back of your phone)

- echo 'AT + EGMR = 1,10, "355580000275562"'> /dev/pttycmd1

- go back to the $ command prompt then right-click > paste (since Ctrl + V will not work)

- press Enter

8. Type Exit then press enter. This should now remove the $ command prompt

9. Close the command prompt window.

10. Reboot your Phone :)

Reset IMEI, how to recover?

The two options for recovery:

With terminal Adndroid terminal emulator

Adndroid terminal emulator - you can download it from the store,

"a reconstruction IMEI: (Root is not necessary)

in the terminal write: (any terminal approx. Adndroid terminal emulator)

echo 'AT + EGMR = 1.7, "IMEI_1" '> / dev/pttycmd1

echo 'AT + EGMR = 1.10, "IMEI_2"'> / dev/pttycmd1

IMEI_1/IMEI_2 - your IMEI (write anything)

Or through ADB Shell

ADB

Plug the mob

Run shell.bat

prescribe those two lines above. (Echo 'AT + ....)

to overload

YOU MUST REMOVE SIM CARDS ALWAYS FOR WRITING IMEI

http://www.mediafire.com/?2qyaau6v0yec2ad INSTALL ON DEVICE

USE ZOPO MOBILE FIRST TURN OFF DEVICE THEN REMOVE SIM CARDS..TURN ON DEVICE AND OPEN ZOPO IMEI AND SELECT YES TO ZOPO DEVICE

THEN CLICK GENERATE A FEW TIMES THEN WRITE A FEW TIMES AND THEN OKAY AND EXIT AND TURN OFF DEVICE

INSERT SIM CARDS AND TURN DEVICE ON AND TAKE A LOOK.

IF ALL FAILS FLASH THIS FIRMWARE

Here is TWRP 2.3.2.3 for the Star N8000. Works well on my JBL2, but I'm not sure about others. Only sees the external SD Card, so make sure you have one. Make a backup or have a backup of your recovery.img before flashing this.

Looking at your pictures, you have successfully recovered the IMEI.

If your sims are still not working, then I don't know what else could be causing the issue in your end.

The second picture is the same as mine, I never saw a serial number in that part for my phone too.

INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD suddenly stopped working

Hi All,

Somebody please help me.

I've been enjoying this Phone for quite some time now and was so happy trying out different ROMs.

As adviced, I always make sure I make a backup of my ROM using CWM recovery, before trying out other ROMs.

Suddenly, something weird happened.

ONe day, I decided I want to have a fresh install of the stock ROM and work my way up again.

I used SP Flash Tool to Flash the July 5 ROM.

I used SP Flash Tool to Flash the customer CWM Recovery.

I copied the 2GB patch to the SD Card.

Rebooted into Recovery and selected INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD.

Then suddenly, I get the error Unable to mount /sdcard/

I tried going to MOUNTS AND STORAGE and selected MOUNT SDCARD

But I get ERROR MOUNTING SDCARD message.

I tried to select SELECT ZIP FROM INTERNAL MEMORY and it worked.

So I simply rebooted the phone, and copied the 2GB patch to the internal SDCard.

Went back to Recovery and installed the zip file from the internal SDCard and it worked.

My problem now is this, I can no longer create a backup because it can't, for some reason, mount with the external SDCard, and the internal one is too small for the size of the backup.

I tried everyting, even the TWRP recovery posted in this thread can't do it. It say's can't mount /data/

What is going on? Can somebody help me please?:crying:

UPDATE:

I solved it by flashing back to June 12 with stock recovery, then flashing back customer recovery. :D
[Android General] hoyemd:
So, like many others in this thread I made the big NOOB mistake of assuming all firmwares for this phone were identical. Using the method quoted below (btw thanks nm_guy) I am now able to get my phone to start up. The weird thing is that it will only start if I try turning it on after it's been plugged into my pc. I can then turn it off and on from its power button, but once I pull the battery the phone wont seem to start unless I flash it again. I also do not have wi-fi and cannot get into the recovery menu. No matter which recovery images I try while holding down the start up splash screen just loops until I let go of volume up. Could this mean I need to try different boot images?

I'm thinking once I can actually get into recovery I'll be in a much better position to fix this device, because I can clear out everything and try different roms.

Anybody have any ideas? My phone was purchased early this month (beginning of january). It was from an ebay seller in china, so I'm not sure of their stock (im waiting to see if they will give me the firmware if they know). But because of the age of the device and the fact that this fix works partially, I'm assuming its JBL2.
