I have updated the NOTE & PAD firmwares to the most stable 03-07-2012 firmware with CWM Recovery and split the archive's into PAD & NOTE versions to make the download smaller and have slightly updated the instructions to make them clearer.

Hello mate great post,one thing i noticed is that if you do need to change the display driver using MDT due to bad display you will not be able to swap camera from front to back you lose front camera icon or at best front camera becomes psychedelic colours.

YESS IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ME TO POST... THANKS MODERATORS !!!

Just arrived my new and first android N9000 I9220PAD :victory:

Great camera, stupid also i didn't well known howto CWRM, if i did then would 1st make a uboot backup or nandroid backup....

After spending my weekend by reading forwards and backwards through this topic i discovered following

After flashing with custom fw problems with g-sensor (rotating), colour problem and back camera problem (back camera still unsolved)

I read following on the topic:

QUOTE

"For everyone that has a rotating-display problem !

You need to enter the factory menu (during pwr up press down)

Enter to the g-sensor and choose a calibration."

User who post this, very thankfull !. I went into factory menu and gsensor said : INIT FAIL

So i discovered that when this happens when the driver is not good or not present.

Contemptx latest manual with total and complete installation manual (!!!! GREAT JOB U DID MATE !!)

I followed the manual and after flash i went to g-sensor and YES g-sensor was working !!!

Colour problem also was immediate solved after flashing with latest inserted image.

Still no backcamera. So i went to SAS instruction:

QUOTE

"9). ( The most important point ). Many people complain that after flashing the phone based on MT6575 "fall off" the camera (front or rear), the display does not work (nothing shows skewed, incorrect brightness, incorrect color, etc.). The fact is that the manufacturer changes the device over time. In different batches of devices can be installed different matrix cells, different controllers display. To account for these situations in the uboot flash file made all possible drivers (at the time of the firmware) for the cameras and the display device-specific. All you need to do - is to specify the correct sensors front and rear chambers and the right display controller (see screenshot).

Do not prescribe NAMES BY HAND SENSORS ONLY CHOOSE THE RIGHT BUTTON THROUGH THE INSTALLATION OF SENSORS. 99% of the cases have to choose one of two options:

mt9p017_raw (rear camera), hi704_yuv (front), RX_50RM_392A (display) OR

0v5640_yuv (rear camera), hi704_yuv (front), RX_50RM_392A (display) "

AND Contemptx wrote this in manual about the drivers:

NOTE Driver: RX_50NT_401B

PAD Driver: RX_50RM_401A

PAD Driver: RX_50RM_365A

I could not find this driver in the MDB file: 0v5640_yuv (rear camera)

When selecting colour drivers --> PAD Driver all was dark

I selected then the NOTE Driver for the N9000 I9220: YES, perfect an bright !!!!!

However the BACK camera which is off course very important for me still doesn't work only the front is working.

when going to factory menu, test item, main camera INIT FAIL !!! :crying:

Only one driver is present in the MDB so where to find the right (other) driver for the back camera ??? !!!

Is it possible to ask Chinese reseller for sending right mdb file with drivers ? or asking for the right UBOOT ???

For so far, hoping for some input.

I flashed my I9220 also the last few days using firmwares from this thread. Similar to my N9770 the display driver and the cameras was gone.

Couldn't fix it with the 21/07 firmware but with the 03/07 firmware. Different firmwares may content different drivers ?

The test in boot menue also showed 'Could not initialize' but showed the camera picture again as i flashed the correct driver.

Sorry sas007 if i confused you in the N9770 thread. I don't meant that the camera is damaged if the boot test failed, i just meant its a faster way to proofe than booting the phone and use a camera app. :)

So testing the drivers from different firmwares could help.
[Android General] sas007:
Ok right so it don't mean the cameras faulty.... Dam

Do you have any suggestions as to a firmware that may work on dual core?

What firmware did you use as I have tried a few times and the always no back camera.
[Android General] shotfac:
Is it a possibility to check if the camera drivers for the NOTE are compatible with the PAD ? The now is where to find them :) i will look in the Note section.

I do have another challange, Navigon wants to install the maps 2gb on default sdcard (500 mb) instead of my TFcard in phone recognized as sdcard2 (16 gb)

any options for this problem ?
[Android General] sas007:
If your rooted use zopo toolbox or m44 uncle toms tools app..in ap2sd setting set to external and will install to external sd card. Or set to install there in storage options in device storage settings preferred install location maybe.
[Android General] hardi75:
I've used the 13/07 firmware with the drivers i posted in N9770 thread. I took the battery out after flashing, but don't know if this is necessary.

Search for editing vold.fstab. You just have to change SDcard and SDcard2 so that the external card will be mounted as the internal. Also saw a script for that somewhere here.
[Android General] sas007:
Yes and this way also.
[Android General] shotfac:
Hi Sas

I have installed following: sdcards_exchange_patch.zip (with cwmr)

It change the usb storage of 2 GB (internal and default installed with the phone, don't know where it gets this usb storage) to the sdcard2 of 16 gb

Now the usb storage is recognized as the 16 GB storage (before it was the sdcard2 in phone)

The sdcard2 is now the 2 GB storage (before it was the usb in phone)

In settings put install apps default to usb.

Now navigon is working smooth without any problems, satelite fix was very quick, problem solved :highfive:

remaining problem: main back camera
[Android General] shotfac:
sdcards_exchange_patch.zip (with cwmr)

Hier in 7zip, extract it will be sdcards_exchange_patch.zip

install with cwmr
[Android General] shotfac:
Hi Hardi75, Have you fixed the main camera by flashing the uboot from the 03/07 firmware ? If that is the solution please can you 7z this uboot so i can test if it works also on my N9000 I9220

thanks
[Android General] sas007:
Hi the uboot from star n8000 contains the correct camera drivers it has ov5640 and hi704 i am not sure ref the grapics though

here is just the n8000 uboot https://rapidshare.com/files/2334573118/uboot_e1808_v75_jbl1.bin

hope it helps
[Android General] hardi75:
Hi, with these drivers both cameras and the display are ok.

I used the RX_50NT_365A first, display looked good. The i tried the RX_50RM_401A, also good but a bit darker.

But the best result i got with LM_050AMYU07A, this one is in the attached uboot.

[Android General] sas007:
Nice one..the problem i found/had was i wanted a driver from one uboot and another from a differant uboot but i could only use one uboot.

is there a way to to do this..i was trying it as with some uboots you get the choice of driver plus none but i could never get the right combination

ie i wanted camera drivers from n8000 uboot and a display driver from n9770 uboot.i have also found that what is good for one is not always good for another..we have same devices but not always the same stuff works..daft

What firmware did you use to swap posted uboot to?
[Android General] shotfac:
Hi Hardi75, is it possible for you to upload your SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe folder included with the drivers you can select or can you point where to download the SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject with your drivers inside so we can test and select different drivers

The current drivers i can choose out for the main camera is only: mt9p017_raw (rear camera)

I see you have more options available to select.

What i want to try is to select and create a new uboot from stockrom is :

maincamera: 0v5640_yuv

frontcamera: hi704_yuv

display: NOTE Driver: RX_50NT_401B

If that works i can a then test the LM_050AMYU07A for display.

If i only flash your uboot their will be a realistic possibility that my g-sensor or/and gps won't work anymore

[Android General] hardi75:
I have used the 13/07 Firmware again. Don't think that there is an easy way to extract a driver from one uboot and put it in another but i don't know for sure. Which drivers do you need in one file ?

Here's a link to SP_MDT : http://uploaded.to/file/1bi9vbs2

The drivers are part of the firmware (i think). Selectable drivers changes with the loaded firmware.

I wasn't able to flash only the uboot with SP_MDT. It's alway flashed the whole firmware.

So i changed the driver in SP_MDT, closed it and flashed the changed uboot with the normal flash-tool.
[Android General] shotfac:
Hi, can't download and registering for 1 file is not a possibility.

Please can you mail it to me: tellme@wcam.dyndns.tv

or attach it by topic --> post reply (at bottom)

I have search on the internet for same file name and found this one:

SP_MDT_src_v3[1].1220.00_A2012.07.06_customer.rar

When unpacked and selecting my MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt i only got the same (old) drivers to choose from:

mt9p017_raw (rear camera) and hi704_yuv (front)

there is no 0v5640_yuv (rear camera) to choose.

Maybe their is an option it is in your SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject

I think the scatter file has some config inside which relate the SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject which drivers possible to select

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Now making a CWMR backup from phone, i will try to load your uboot.bin files and look for the result

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Here my experience :)

2334573...8_v75_jbl1.bin --> N9000 I9220 no boot no screendisplay

uboot_e1809c_v75_gq1008_9p017.bin --> wrong too bright scrambled display, however no main (back) camera, same as before, no improvement.

How to solve this guys ?
[Android General] shotfac:
I have downloaded and selected the MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt

Now i got 3 camera drivers to select:

ov5647_raw

ov7675_yuv

hi704_yuv

I have tested following combination with camera drivers and uploading the uboot from the N9000

main camera front camera result

ov5647_raw hi704_yuv no camera more available INIT FAIL on both

hi704_yuv hi704_yuv no camera more available INIT FAIL on both

I also experiment to combinate these and selected hi704_yuv as main, no results as expected.

Conclusion: i do need to select this combination for good result

0v5640_yuv (rear camera), hi704_yuv (front), RX_50NT_401B (display)

like SAS007 mentioned in earlier posts as main camera driver

Not a good day, 2morrow will be better ;)
[Android General] sas007:
Hi mate i had an idea using MDT use the uboot from n8000 and swap it in to firmware and flash,you will have correct camera drivers but wrong display so it will have no display..but no matter no need to boot...then taking the firmware as it is ie just unpacked again fresh using MDT in the driver settings select none for the cameras and select the correct display driver..maybe you can just flash the uboot in SP ie untick everything else so your just flashing in the display driver...in MDT you can not select none for display but you can for cameras see if it will work....hope this makes sense it sounds good in theory
[Android General] hardi75:
You don't have to register, just close the popup and wait for the countdown. But i'm pretty sure that the flashtool will not have influence to the drivers. They are part of the firmware.
[Android General] sas007:
Hi Drivers are in uboot you can change uboot in firmware file to change/replace drivers..yes technically part of the firmware but not fixed its a separate file .and yes you can change/infiuence the drivers with MDT flashtool

if you need a download/file let me know p.m me with a email and will get link to you

Did you got a new I9220 N9000, under battery it says:

Model N9000 I9220 PAD

If so: is it possible to make a uboot or an nandroid backup with cwmr, maybe i can install it and look if the problems will be solved.

Is that an option ?

I will now try with many downloaded roms to get the main camera working.... but i am not very convinced anymore.

I will look at your solution too.

Thanks for sending me the system.ext4.tar, how to load or install this tar, i can unpack it but don't know what program i have to use to load it into the phone....

1st i will go and flash the N9000-20120802_e1809c_v75_gq1008_ov5647 firmware

HERE MY RESULTS, as i post this to the user who uploaded this file:

Hi Jpmunix,

i do have a question, when i 1st downloaded your file (yesterday night) at the 1st post i got this file downloaded: May 7 Firmware With New System.img (zip file near 300mb), today i download file again and got this file downloaded with this folder inside

N9000-20120802_e1809c_v75_gq1008_ov5647.

I am you more then gratefull for this file !!!!!! It is the firmware which solved all my problems with the phone. I have flashed the file full with Flashtool and my MAIN camera was working immediate !!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSS Colors where wrong and NO FRONT camera.

I reopened the scatter.txt with SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe and following drivers where active:

MAIN Camera FRONT Camera DISPLAY

ov5647_raw ov7657_yuv rx_50NT_365A

I changed them as follow:

Thank U !!!

@SAS007, many many many thanks for support and thinking with me, i do have a question which i don't understand.

I have many time loaded this uboot combination from different (older) firmwares

MAIN ov5647_raw FRONT hi704_yuv DISPLAY rx_50NT_401B

without any succes to activate the main camera , how is this possible that the same combination DOES work ???

Thanks man for all your input !!! Real Happy, now i can make my full backup :) I will go from scratch !!! Starting now, c u later !!! :victory:

In release notes of new firmware it seems they have made 2 fixes for the display drivers,so display driver in older firmwares maybe dodgy with your device(well they were).sometimes devices evolve slightly but the firmware not and needs to catch up and i guess that's what has happened plus the different amount of i9220 devices

Good for you mate.....ENJOY

possible to install old firmware with new uboot

Is it possible to install older firmwares and after that only replace the uboot with this latest firmware from August 2 ?

Should that theoretical work without lost of hardware failures in the device ?
[Android General] sas007:
Best thing to do is take uboot from 02/08 and put it into old firmware ie replace that uboot with 02/08.and flash using MDT flash tool ensuring correct drivers are selected for camera's and display. New firmware is 100 percent good been running it for a while absolutely no problem
[Android General] shotfac:
Hi Sas, thanks, i have 2 questions:

1st: the new firmware making a call the earphone speaker is very low, i can nearly hear the other side and volume on phone is max.

but when i listnen to music the sound is clear and sharp out of the speakers.

2nd: where on the web do u guys find these firmware(s), which (china \ russia) site is releasing it ?

SHotfac
[Android General] sas007:
Hi mate there is a hidden volume you can adjust that volume when you have volume settings on screen you can tap setting icon and a volume slider should appear try it running media I think not sure though so experiment.. Also you can up the volume in engineer mode I will find the settings and post later with tutorial... And I get firmware from all over the place mainly China and Russian forums who have access to agold sites and other folk sharing and folk tipping me the nod to where it is.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

How to increase the volume of incoming calls (voice calling). praise drdeft

1) Go to the engineering menu (on the telephone display type in combination) * # * # 3646633 # * # *.

2) Select the item AUDIO.

3) Find the parameter Speech enhancement (which will be edited to hear call)

4) Click on the Common Parameter and select - Normal mode.

5) Click on the Parameter - 0 and select Parameter - 6 (default is 400).

6) Getting to edit the parameter and change its value from 400 to 1, and then click on Set/save

once you have saved changes REBOOT Device...

This can also be done if you prefer using zopo toolbox or m-44 uncle toms toolbox(same-thing) by being rooted opening the tool and selecting engineering menu and applying the same values

Hope this helps and works mate.:good:let us know how you get on

Hi Wizard Sas, yess, u are great, yes it is louder, it helps !!!

more tips ? maybe about wifi strenght ??? when i am at home i got 39 mb connected near to the N router,

walk through garden, 6 meter from router, bad and.or no signal, in mine feeling/experience with previous firmware it was better.

Maybe u now some more settings in these ?
[Android General] sas007:
Hi mate glad it helped..as for the wifi i have no tips..some folks have opened the back dissembled device and attached a small wire to extend the antenna yet this only increases the wifi by about 10%

I get the same but i find it varies from day to day,my kitchen is about 10 meters from router one day i can connect no problem and another i can not.i have had a look around and see if i can find anything that may assist us both but nothing..there was a wifi patch out a while ago and i tried it and bricked my device so i believe its best left for now.will keep my eye open though for anything
[Android General] shotfac:
Hi Sas, thanks for yout input, one question more about these drivers and firmware, are all drivers for the phone in the uboot or only camera and display,

thanks
[Android General] sas007:
I believe uboot is Universal Bootloader used to boot linux based systems and totally depends on who built it as to what goes into it.

but as its what boots device and tells it what to do i reacon it must.But as always i am not 100% but as most drivers are static and do not need to change the uboot will need to contain various drivers for optical use and display as devices morph the firmware needs to suit different devices with differentiated optics and screens etc
[Android General] shotfac:
Has the same R on top of my gsm networks, when i start wireless the R goes away.

I am sure that i have disabled all possible options with roaming, also "data connection" icon on top of the display i checked and is disabled, still the R is showing when wireless is off.

I think it must be abug in the software

I have set option "always ask when roaming is active" to OFF otherwise i get the message always when i want to make a call or send sms
