I need help.

Hello everyone.

I have a n9000 i9220 (under the battery) and i have been with it for a long time ow. My question is how can i flash it to a new rom and which rom is suitable for it?

About phone:

Model number: e1809c_v75_gq1008_5640

Android version: 4.0.3

Basehand Version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V14, 2012/07/27 20:01

Kernel version: 3.0.13

Thank.

Unique Model?

Okay, first thing's first, I'm a noob, and I've just watched the very humbling video to prepare me :eek:

I've sifted through this entire thread, trying to keep as much of the relevant info in my frontal lobe as possible, but among other issues (like trying to learn everything in a couple hours from abject ignorance), I'm getting mired in semantics, I think. I managed to root my Star Note n9000 quite successfully and without issue using the MtkDroidTools app. Splendid, but imagine my dismay as I entered into this thread and discovered that there may be no hope for me to get the best parts of root access for the phone I've got. Or... have I?

So, question #1: I understand that this "model" of phone seems to have a myriad of submodels, built from a variety of parts and requiring unique firmware for every variation. I also found the current known list of those models, and, to my surprise, found that my model wasn't one of them (it's quite similar, but not an exact match):

Model Number

e1809L_v75_gq1008_ov5647_v20

Basehand Version

MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V8.P2,

2012/09/04 15:08

Kernel Version

3.0.13

Thu Apr 25 11:15:14 CST 2013

...So, what gives? Is this truly a unique model, or am I misunderstanding?

Question #2: I know from my limited research that what I really want is a modified ROM and preferably one that uses a newer version of Android than the one already on my phone (4.0.4). What I don't know is how the term ROM is or isn't interchangeable with the term "firmware" in this thread. In fact, firmware is the term most often mentioned here, particularly in that it is uniquely fit for the specific submodel of phone in question. So, are the terms used interchangeably here, meaning I need a ROM that satisfies very specific requirements for my specific model, or am I looking for something more general? Is there any hope at all in upgrading this thing?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Star i9220 root

Hi... i got the star i9220/n9000 yesterday.

I would like to root this device, or install a custom ROM for it. If anyone has one for this phone that 100% works (read something about it deleting phone etc.) that would be good. However, i would prefer to root it. I started up superoneclick 2.3.3 and it installed 3 ADB Drivers. It started to root but now it freezes multiple times at this (picture shown below. ) My phone runs ICS 4.2.2
[Android General] phineast:
I just bought the exact same phone with the same model/baseband/kernel. No ROMs available? There is a bug where the home button sometimes doesn't wake the phone from sleep that I would like to fix.

Anyone?

Hi,

i want to solve the problem with the washed out colors. Some posts before, i read, that this is possible, when we flash the uboot from the May Stock-Rom.

Problem is, i found the April and June Stock-Rom. But where can i get the Stock-Rom from May ?

Has someone else solved this washed/out Color Problem with this method ?
[Android General] sas007:

Hi guys,

could U help me?

Hav the same problems with washed colours and wasn't able to understand where i can find the right uboot.

Tried to install the taiwan rom but with no success. After the bootlogo (taiwan house?) I had only black screen (with wome light on the right border), so i flashed the stock rom (don't remember where i found it and changed folder name so and hav those phone infos:

Model Number: e1809c_v75_gq1008_9p017

[Android General] Kyrie1965:
U do not need to search right uboot. All stock firmwares for e1809c_v75_gq1008_9p017 have right uboot. You just need to flash it with SP_MDT (and select correct display controller model).
[Android General] pincopallino66:
Hella and many thanks for the fast reply :)

I flash it with SP_Flash_Tool_v3.12

What do U mean with select the correct display controller model? Where have I to select it? And where to find my correct model?

Sorry if the questions could be stupid, but I'm something like a newbie :)

Hello there With tiawans rom the excact same happened to me tried 3 0r 4 times so i experimented and what i did once in recovery mode before install tiawan zip was only wipe data/factory reset and

Hello to all.

I think that this thread is a chaotic post to find and try solutions for the phone.

Is impossibile to find a solution without lost hours and hours to write here without understand really what to do....

Is not possible to create a wiki page with all informations? in this way all will be very clear.

Thanks to all for the attention.

Regards.
[Android General] sas007:
BE it that my friend but your attitude is poor.

a lot of people have posted help on this forum and a lot of people have been helped and found answers and solutions they needed and are completely thank full for it.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY WAS BETTER? WAITING WHILE SOMEONE GETS IN FROM THEIR DAY JOB AND THEN OFFERS THEIR TIME TO HELP OTHERS WHEN THEY CAN..

OR NO HELP AT ALL!!!!!!

Hi,

I have a I9220 beginner question.

How can I switch the phone into fastboot, to copy the recovery.img.

My phone is rooted, I can start with pushed volume-, then I get the factory mode.

Or I start it with volume+ then I get a kind of recovery mode. But not CWM.

Thanks for your help.
[Android General] pincopallino66:
Tried as follows:

Starting from kernel 3.0.13 mon jun 4 17:45:18 cst 2012 wich is - i suppose - the right stockware (CWMR Touch v5.5.0.4 Compiled by Bruno Martins) I follow those steps:

1) wipe data/factory reset

2) wipe cache partition

3) advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

4) install zip from sd card

then I install this file: Taiwan101_STAR-i9220_V.03

Reboot.

Same result: splash screen (asian house) and deep black. wati. wait wait. nothing happens. :(

So i had to flash the phone again.

This time I flashed it with this ROM: I92220PAD_20120428_e1809c_v75_gq1008_9p017

Better colours, but same problem with no screen rotation.

Any hints???
[Android General] sas007:
@pincopallino66

I had that SAME problem i was pulling out my hair,FLASHED OVER AND OVER

so i experimented a bit so i started with stock rom... installed the custom recovery then WHEN I INSTALL TAIWAN

I DID NOT WIPE CACHE PARTITION i followed the rest of tutorial and everything was and still is fine.

CWM

How will I get the CWM on the phone. Is there a HowTo?
[Android General] sas007:
I am not 100 percent sure but if i can remember I THINK i copied to root of INTERNAL sd card and installed via file explorer,BUT YOU NEED TO GET THIS CONFIRMED AS I AM NOT SURE
[Android General] sas007:
sounds like its on mute,do you have any smart answer the ones you can flip to mute etc installed or call screens.

Check all volumes are up, touch the mic icon on screen?
[Android General] borsus:
Or Can I Try to flash the CWM with Uncle Tom Toolbox?
[Android General] pincopallino66:
At least I did it!

Think that the thing I always made wrong was:

in the CWM recovery, when U select install zip from sd card U hav 5 options and 2 of those regards choose zip. I always selected the last one (choose zip from INTERNAL SD card) and not the first one (choose zip from SD card).

Last time i tried from SD card and it worked :)

Now I have other little problems:

1) no rotation screen (could liv without it, but people like us like perfection :)

2) some applications with Asian fonts that I'm not able to understand

What to do with them?
[Android General] sas007:
NO SOUND

Hi guys a strange thing happened this morning the sound has stopped on my device ,no ringtone or notification tones or any sound from playing media but i can hear other person fine when using Phone during a call.I HAD A TEXT AND THE NOTIFICATION TONE STARTED AND SUDDENLY STOPPED HALF WAY THROUGH TONE

Hi mate could you tell me please how i install your custom recovery cwm(BM)0.4

i am having to swap my device for new one as speaker no good.

i installed it on old device but i can not remember how i did it.

thanks
[Android General] Spawn24fr:
Hi Sas

reflash with the stock ROm

After flash only the recovery

and if you want ,with the Recovery mode, flash the custom ROM

But you lose all data in your phone

@++ Bruno
[Android General] pogodancer:
Hi Bruno,

does this rom (from your post no. 102) include the uboot from may 2012 which should have the better display quality ?

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Hi Sas,

you can install the custom recovery following bruno martins guide from post 1.

rename the CWM_recovery.img to recovery.img and copy (override) it into your firmware folder. Then start the usually flashing procedure with the flash-tool, but uncheck all items without "RECOVERY". Then you do flashing like you flashed stock-roms before. You can enter the custom-recovery-mode later if you boot your device holding the left volume-rocker when powering on the device.

To the other StarNote-Gurus: It seems that there are some good files out of different firmware-roms (f.e. the uboot for better display, the CWRM and maybe others). Could anybody copy these files together in 1 firmware-file (flashable through the flash-tool) ? That should not be a hard work. After the firmware-files in zip.format for CWRM would be great, but not so necessary just like to have an uptodate optimized rom. What do you think about it ?
[Android General] Spawn24fr:
Hi

i'm sorry but i don't from UBoot

It's a stock rom from the manafacturer

@++ Bruno
[Android General] borsus:
great idea!
[Android General] sas007:
totally agree i have mentioned this in earlier posts...

We would love a super rom to flash with flashtool and everything is in it. A one time install with out bits missing and having to add bits each and everytime.

Come on you clever folks i know you can do it and save us alot of constant,reinstalling..

You guys are great at what you do.... and greater for sharing with us massive thanks

but give us a super rom please.

If you do this i will come and kiss your feet(at least in a email anyway)

Thanks again

#AJT
[Android General] pogodancer:
I think we are far away from a super rom. But I think about only putting the things together what your experiences in this thread brought. Everybody of us could do that - it's only copy and paste.

I can make a small step for you. But I need a link to this stock rom which has the uboot from may 2012 (djwohls / post 73). I want to try if there is really a difference.

ROMs for Star Note i9220

Hi Sas,

thanks for the links. I found the uboot 0526 on the russian forum. It is true that the problem with the very bright display is a uboot-problem which can be solved by the uboot from may.

So I did only 2 things: I took the latest stock-firmware from merimobiles 20120607 and copied the CWRM-recovery and the uboot from 20120526 inside. You can flash it with the flash-tool and after you have to root it with "TPSparkyRoot_ haipai _noble_I9220" from page 1.

Step 1:

Here is the link for the stock-rom modified with CWRM and uboot:

http://www.mediafire.com/?o7na5mm6hfasjt7

Step 2:

And the link from page 1 for the root-script:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?wvb2v914y0uddtj

a) As an alternative for step 1 and 2 you can install CWRM only or the complete firmware with step 1.

b) Download and copy a russian modified stock-rom to the root of your sd-card:

http://www.mediafire.com/?eas7ztidnn996wo

c) Go into recovery-mode by keep holding the left volume-rocker when turning on the phone.

d) Select the following steps:

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache

- wipe Dalvik cache (Advanced)

- install ZIP from sdcard

- choose the modified rom "I9220PAD_2012.06.07.mod_by_Resquer.signed.zip"

- confirm twice

- after installing is complete reboot device

This russian modified rom runs very nice on my device:

- It is rooted already

- It has the correct uboot

- It has deleted chinese apps

- It has a nice battery circle in the top-bar

- It seems to have some optimization which I don't know

- It has the original partition size of 500mb for system, which I recommend so you can backup your system with CWRM or go back to stock-rom-backups without problems.

There is the same modified rom on the russian forum availabe which has a changed partition of 2GB for system, but if you want to go back from this rom to a stock-rom with the original system-size you have to flash with the flashtool first - restore with CWRM would fail.

These 2 modified roms were already posted in post no. 73 by djwohls.

I will go on testing the "I9220PAD_2012.06.07.mod_by_Resquer.signed.zip" and if I don't have any issues I will keep that rom.

But until now I recommend this russian mod-rom (seems to be a small piece of a super-rom).

Have phun.
[Android General] sas007:
Hey thats fantastic mate...Thank you very much for your hard work..

its just what is needed at the moment fantastic.

I reckon i am going to go with the Rus mod rom (sounds similar to taiwans)as makes more sense to do it all in one hit,there again latest firmware from MM is tempting as its new??or is it?? is it after the june firmware on here do you think???

No defo going to do the the alternative as then you should get best of all worlds

start with your mod stock then into recovery then flash russ mod.yes baby

cant wait i only get my replacement device tomorrow arvo bugger want to get t wok NOW.
[Android General] pogodancer:
Hi sas,

please make this thread not so long with quoting the complete posts (cut only the part you want to mention or just tell which post no. you are mention to).

And I think you choose the best and easy way: First flash the modded stock with the flash-tool, so you will get the CWRM installed. Start your phone and copy the russian rom to your internal sd. Then shut down the phone, go into CWRM, wipe everything and install the russian rom. Thats it.

By the way: Both roms (modded stock-rom and russian custom rom) base on the latest firmware dated 2012-06-07.

I played around today with the russian rom and for me it's the best rom I still had. It works like charm for me. Tested (only short start) some games (AngryBirds, DoodleJump, NFS shift, Turbo fly etc.) and had no problems. Browsing with the stock browser is fast and smooth. Playstore works. Maps and Google Navigation shows my place, but I don't know if GPS really works. Videos up to 720p are OK. YouTube no probs.

But the CPU is set to "performance". So I installed "setcpu" and changed it to "ondemand" and set it on boot. Hoping battery usage and heating is lower with the ondemand-governor.

Have phun.
[Android General] borsus:
I get a error message from the flash tool:

Error: Initialize scatter file failed. Please check the scatter file name you load is legal

[Android General] sas007:
[/COLOR]

Sounds like your trying to flash the Russian zip unpacked with flash tool and this needs to be installed via SD card in recovery

use flash tool for the stock-rom modified with CWRM and uboot only

do not unzip the russian modified stock-rom but copy unzipped to the root of your sd-card

and install it once you are in in recovery mode

c) To Go into recovery-mode first by holding the left volume-rocker and then the power button simultaneously

d) Select the following steps:

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache

- wipe Dalvik cache (Advanced)

- install ZIP from sdcard

- choose the modified rom "I9220PAD_2012.06.07.mod_by_Resquer.signed.zip "

- confirm twice

- after installing is complete reboot device

hope this helps

Hi guys just got my new device and its going mad...it does not matter what firmware i use flash as soon as i boot it its just pressing its own buttons dialling opening and closing stuff its going wild...What can i do

so looking forward and now i think this ones knackard as well..god knows i am fed up,

says its N9000 i9220 pad so same device???
[Android General] martelasol:
I tried to do the upgrade from sd card, but i says: E:signature verification failed, installation aborted ... what can it be?
[Android General] djwohls:
signature verification failed...

Try copying it to your device again, if that doesn't work try to download it again. I have had this error several times, one of those will fix it.
[Android General] martelasol:
I am downloading the file again. Before you install this rom i would like to make the backup of the rom installed on my device, can you tell me how to do the backup? Thanks in advance ...
[Android General] pogodancer:
For a backup you must have CWRM installed. If you dont have flash with the flashtool only the modded stock rom. But ONLY check "recovery". So install CWRM which you can start with the left volume-rocker and power. In the CWRM menu you can choose backup. make this backup and it will created in the folder clockworkmod. for safety copy this folder (and never rename the folder or files) to your pc or anywhere. With this backup you can restore your system via CWRM at anytime. But you need CWRM in each case.
[Android General] martelasol:
How do I install CWRM? Another question in recovery-mode did not find the item: wipe Dalvik cache (Advanced) as ever? Thanks in advance ...
[Android General] pogodancer:
OK, first keep cool a bit. Maybe wait til tomorrow before you go on.

0. Did you shut down the phone and took out the battery when the phone got crazy ?

1. Did the rom which you installed now work before without issues ?

2. If yes, what apps did you install ? Maybe a bad one. Did you play around with mobileuncle, setcpu or maybe chainfire ?

3. Did you wipe everything ? Wipe again all 4 things to go back to factory state.

4. If the rom did not work from the beginning, try to flash back with the flashtool to the stock-rom, maybe you choose an old stockrom, maybe the same which you had by delivery of your phone.

5. If it works with an old stockrom go on again step by step to a modded stockrom or a custom rom.

6. If it does not work with with stockrom install CWRM and google which functions you have with CWRM you can clean the system.

Thats my idea at the moment.
