Problem with SIM and IMEI

After a bit of struggle (and lots of reading), I'm going to finally ask for help as well. I am a noob, but I have also tried really hard to figure this out my own ;)

My story: First, I'm an idiot that didn't read the whole thread before beginning. I didn't realize that that having different versions of the software would complicate the rooting/flashing process. That also means that I do not know what my initial starting firmware is. I began at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951901 and went for it. Eventually got it rooted but when I tried to flash the jbl1 rom with SPtools, I got the white screen error.

I was able to correct this problem by flashing a jbl2 rom from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33682930&postcount=1067. Problems with this flash however gave me problems with Wifi and Bluetooth. Neither responded.

Per the work accomplished from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35892455&postcount=1346, I flashed the recovery drive from this post using SP Flash Tools and then restored to that backup using CWM. I was able to correct the wifi and bluetooth problem.

Following that process, however, I am currently unable to make calls, texts, or access data. I noticed that when I tried to update my APN, the screen was blank and SIM card unrecognized. I tested the SIM in test/debug mode (Restart + Vol. Down) and it stated that it was okay. I realized that my phone's internal IMEI numbers no longer matched the phone's original IMEI, and thought this might be the culprit. I attempted to correct the IMEI using MTK Droid Root & Tools v.2.3.0 from this thread http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?p=858928#p858928. I may be using the software incorrectly, but my understanding is that you click "Replace IMEI", fill in the correct numbers, and then do a soft-reset on the phone. I tried this multiple times to no avail. I also tried Method 4 in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26660016&postcount=1. Again, it did not work.

So, now that you're all up to date on my (lack of) progress, I have some questions: Am I on the right track attempting to fix the IMEI? Will this fix my SIM problem?

If so, am I using MTK Droid correctly, or am I missing a step or two? Are there better tools/other methods to use to fix the problem?

If not, what do you suggest to fix the IMEI and SIM problem?

Here are my current specs:

Hardware: MT6575

Model: e1808_v75_jbl2_6628

Build: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.5

Android: v. 4.0.4

Thanks for any help you can offer,

[Android General] sloppyjoe116:
Edit/update: I'm not sure our problems are the same. I watched your video, and it appears that your IMEI numbers are congruent. I don't know what model my phone was originally. I bought it just a couple weeks ago, and based on the problems I've had that are similar to others in this thread, it appears that my phone was a jbl2. I'm sorry, I don't have a jbl1 dump file.

Thanks for trying. Any other thoughts?

Hey guys,

can any of you say something about the GPS and its accuracy? Is it useful for navigation in the car?

I've only had two China Phones. A MTK6575 (Thl V9) and MTK6577 (Star B92M), the Thl V9 had good GPS accuracy (8m at cloudy and rainy days, sometimes better).

The GPS of the MTK6577 device was cruel... Never had under 25m accuracy! I do not know what it was (it found enough satellites): the manufacturer or the MTK657x processor?

How is the GPS accuracy this time?

I hope you can help me and sorry for my bad english... :fingers-crossed:

about 4g tmobile compatible phones

hi everyone, i was wondering if there is any phone compatible with t-mobile's 4g network because my star n8000 is not, i seached lots of chinese phones none found yet to be compatible with t-mobile 4g network... most are 2g/3g... not even the highest star series phone is capable of doing lte/4g

please help
[Android General] jpalpano:
I think this is pretty much capable since there is an option to turn on SMS over ims and lte ram dump in the hidden settings. You can go to this by downloading the 'Network's app versions 1.02 from play store.

Or you can dial

*#*#INFO#*#* and hitting 'Phone Information'.

INFO is 4636.

Miui and lewa roms

Dear Sir,

MIUI and Lewa Custom ROMS are found in Russian forum for Star N8000 here.

http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=23588&hilit=n8000+miui

I used the above forum through google translator.

Actually My device is Dapeng A9230+. But I have tested MIUI and Lewa ROMS from Star N8000 and Haipai i9220 ( above Russian forum) in my dapeng A9230+ and works well. Actually I only replaced MIUI boot image and Lewa boot image for my Dapeng A9230+ with the help of Russian Developers.

May be you know about that site. So enjoy MIUI and Lewa ROMs.

When i call my screen is dark

Hello. I'm in this "world" and i dont now too much. First i flashed cwm recovery and a custom rom. I had to solve the white screen problem so i use the jbl2 uboot and boot img and my phone is jbl1. I fixed the camera and i got root but when i call i cannot se the screen even when i do not touch the sensor so pleas these is my question anyone know how to fix it.
[Android General] jpalpano:
That's it! It's simply named 'Network'.

Kind of weird to name your app like that, isn't it?
[Android General] uToTMeH8:
These both work really well on my Star N8000 e1808_v75_jbl2_6628 except the bluetooth and wifi don't work. I assume I need to push some system modules to get them working. Does anyone know which ones? Tried changing the boot.img to stock and that didn't work. The Lewa Rom updates the recovery to one that doesn't work on my device so I had to delete the recovery.img in the zip and paste CWM in. I PMed Stratmor and hopefully he gets back to me because these ROMs are freaking amazing!

Great work, guys. I'm rather new to the Android community, transiting from Windows phone. I have just bought what I think is the N8000. However, it is labelled I9220 under the battery. Can anyone confirm what I have is really N8000. See attahed pix

@sofene... no dude,thats not a N8000 it will b clealy mentioned above the IMEI numbers..tkr
[Android General] sofene:
I know it is not exactly the N8000. Just wondering if the actual hardware are the same. The seller labeled it as Model i9220tv. It is very different from the i9220 PAD and the Haipai i9220 (different positions for camera and TS slot, etc) but mostly has those features almost identical to the N8000. I am wondering if I can flash it with this rom. Does anyone else have this phone?

Help with storage space

Hi all, please help. I am new to the world of Android. I have the Star N8000 and have manage to root it no problem and have what seems to be the latest firmware etc.etc

My problem i i seem to have a issue with the memory/storage. I have 512 system memory and 2gb external SD card (gonna get 16 or 32gb soon) but i am also showing 2GB USB storage, now i presume this is my internal memory card. I am unable to move things to the USB storage card. Is there a way to utilise this internal card for extra system memory.

I was hoping that by using the 2Gstore.zip patch this would achieve this and if so can someone give me an idiots guide in applying the patch as the instructions on the chinese/russian site dont make a lot of sense to me (sorry for being noob)

If there is another way to do this then please help or let me know if i am talking rubbish and have to stay the way it is.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer. :)

Hi firstly copy file as the rar do not unpack to sd card. Then you need to install in recovery....

once you have copied file to sd card Turn off device,wait to shut down..first press the volume + button on device while holding volume +button then press the power button RELEASE POWER BUT KEEP VOL PRESSED and the device should boot into recovery. give it a few seconds and you will see a list of choices,one being INSTALL FROM SD CARD.SELECT THIS..THEN NAVIGATE TO FILE ON SD CARD LIST 2GB PARTITION OR WHATEVER IT IS AND SELECT.DEVICE WILL THEN INSTALL FILE/UPDATE SO WAIT A WHILE UNTIL AT THE END OF INSTALL SAYS INSTALL COMPLETE.AND IT WILL BE AUTOMATICLY ON REBOOT DEVICE NOW IN LIST OF OPTIONS AND PRESS POWER BUTTON TO REBOOT AND ALL SHOULD BE DONE.

SECONDLY DOWLOAD THIS AND INSTALL ON YOUR ROOTED DEVICE .http://115.com/file/e7neeysoCLICK ON GREEN SQUARE

ITS m44-toolbox.apk.

AS YOUR DEVICE IS ROOTED ONCE INSTALLED OPEN APP SCROLL DOWN TO APPTOSD PRESS IT FROM THE THREE OPTIONS TOUCH/ SET "EXTERNAL" AND PRESS OK little (Chinese square)AND EXIT APP..NOW EVERYTHING WILL STORE AND INSTALL ON EXTERNAL SD AND WONT TOUCH ANY INTERNAL STORAGE.

Hi,

I am happy, because you have tested the above Roms.

Bluetooth and Wifi -- For me both works fine. Also my device is not Star N8000. Mine is Dapeng A9230+. Actually 'Star n8000, Haipai i9220, Dapeng A9230+' Specifications are same. Also Jiyayu G2 and Lenovo A750 specifications are also same with slight differences. I have tested lewa and Miui Roms from all of the above devices in my Dapeng mobile. I only replaced the boot images only. You can try other devices Miui and Lewa Roms from www.china-iphone.ru, (for bluetooth and other issues solving) But you have to use, your device boot image(for miui - n8000 miui rom boot image only will work). Miui and the latest lewa Roms require modified boot image.

For me, my mobile's CWM recovery works fine in all Roms. I didn't try lewa special recovery.

Happy flashing.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

First, you have to purchase a SIM Card for their "Bring Your Own Phone" Program (Select AT&T) and also a Service Plan Card.

Once you have that, go here: w w w . straighttalk.com/secure/Activate [remove spaces]

Select "Activate my Straight Talk Service with a number from another company"

When prompted for the Serial Number, enter the 15 digit serial number from the SIM card (underlined). Follow directions and provide info as necessary. It may take up to a day or two to port the number to ST, but it should be straightforward. If you have other questions, I suggest doing some reading here: w w w . howardforums . com/forumdisplay.php/551-Straight-Talk [remove spaces]

[Android General] sloppyjoe116:
Call Customer Service, troubleshoot with them until they deactivate / reactivate your SIM number. If that doesn't work, buy a new SIM. Otherwise, I suggest trying Howard Forum, as they will have more information about Straight Talk (as this is a thread for N8000 custom roms).

Hi,

If your device is N8000, then you can flash the Lewa&Miui mix Rom directly, from the 'forum.china-iphone.ru' (N8000 lewa and Miui thread) through clocworkmod flash. No need to flash your Present boot image.

Also, the mix Rom is based on Lewa and some miui features mixed.
