Hello everyone! I received the star n8000+ with the mtk6577 , But I have the following problem. There is nowhere analog tv aplication.. :( Is there somewhere to download it and install it; it also does not work the gps! .

can someone help me. Please!
[Android General] nm_guy:
Hi--someone here can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this thread will only help you if you have the 6575 version (regular n8000).

Despite having the n8000 in its name, the + has the 6577 dual core chip, so I think you'll need to look at one of the forums that deals with that chip. Unfortunately I don't know which one, though.

[Android General] nm_guy:
Thank you...this strongly indicates it's a problem with DHCP (this seems to be a fairly common problem with roms in general), but none of the regular fixes seem to work (e.g., fixer apps in the app store). Hopefully a networking guru will figure it out someday.

More strikeouts on auto-focus

Have tried flashing all kinds of things with no luck.

Tried mucking around with camera permissions to no avail.

However, this is interesting ... if you use the Z-Sensor program (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInphdXNhbi56ZGV2aWNldGVzdCJd ) you can hear when the camera initializes / focuses or something when you try to test it. Unfortunately, the program then crashes.

But I find this interesting since the CameraZoom app reports only "infinity" as a focus mode, which I had thought meant the camera wasn't loading at startup.

Anyway, doesn't get me any closer to an answer but might help someone else.
[Android General] sas007:
Many complain that the phone after flash based MT6575 "fall off" the camera (front or rear), the display does not work properly (does not show anything, skew, brightness wrong, wrong color, etc.). The thing is that the manufacturer changes the device over time. Different batches of devices can be set different camera matrix, different display controller. To account for these situations uboot firmware file includes all the possible driver (at the time of insertion) for the cameras and display specific device. All you need to do - is to specify the correct sensors front and rear camera and a faithful display controller (see screenshot). Not prescribe NAMES HAND SENSORS ONLY CHOOSE THE RIGHT THROUGH SETTING button sensor. N8000 for 99% of the need to choose one of two options: mt9p017_raw (back camera), hi704_yuv (front), RX_50RM_392A (display) or 0v5640_yuv (back camera), hi704_yuv (front), RX_50RM_392A (Display) It's okay if you get it wrong in these parameters. Just ask one more time and options. If both options are not suitable, then ... If the display does not work properly - we select the correct display of the controller can select. If not working the front or rear camera (or both), pick the correct sensor for the corresponding camera. The efficiency of cameras is easy to check by running a standard Camera program. 10). After specifying all the data for the cameras and the display controller close the program SP_MDT. It we do not need, because the program SP_MDT already made ​​the necessary data on the camera and display in uboot firmware. 11). Open the program SP Flash Tool. 12). Push the button Scatter-loading and select the file MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt (it is in the folder with the firmware.) 13). Push the button Download. 14). Connect your phone to a computer cable. The program should see it and start flashing. If the phone is not detected, then unplug it from the computer, remove and insert the battery and re-connect to the computer. 15). After the end of the firmware disable the phone. 16). Finish. 3
[Android General] nm_guy:
Thanks, sas. I had read that and have tried everything it suggests, and my camera works, except that it doesn't focus at all. From what I can see on those Russian threads, it's a problem for a lot of people. They've exchanged a lot of thoughts back and forth (there's a whole separate thread on the autofocus question) but don't seem to have an answer yet.

The problem, I'm guessing, is that the newest phones (2012 model, as you call it) have a slightly different camera that requires a driver that hasn't been put into any of the existing roms yet because it hasn't been released. I've tried various things that claim to be the "latest" firmwares, and none of them work for me, even when doing a full wipe. Some of them just loop at boot. All of which makes me think the newest phones have elements that aren't compatible with the roms that are out there right now.

I've learned in all of this that one of the challenges in figuring it out is that roms will be labeled the same thing -- "xxxxxx_vX_XX.zip," for instance -- but will actually be different because they've been modded by someone. That makes enough sense, but throw in Russian translations and such, and it gets very, very confusing.

My problem now is that, even if someone finds an answer, I'm going to be reluctant to give up my Frankenrom, it's so nice in every other way.
[Android General] nm_guy:
interesting...just ran a program from the Play shop that ID'd my device as a Star n710. Maybe it's pulled from something baked into one of the roms? The devices are similar but mine says n8000 on it and does not look like an n710. Anybody know what the relationship between the two devices is? Thanks.

THANKS SAS007, you guy is the best !!! :good::good::good:

I finally got my cwm recovery to work with your trick using mobileuncle + the recovery.img

I hear that the 4.04 e1808_v75_jbl1_5640 original stock firmware of 27/07 & 20120730 is the most universal firmware, to work with most models including different cameras.

Does anybody has it by any chance in a cwm record (non modded) and can share a link to it please ??

SAS007, I'm sorry to say that in all the roms you modded you broke the wifi....

Where can I find the latest original stock roms ?

Cheers,

Rod
[Android General] nm_guy:
There are seven or eight different roms floating around here. The first post on the first page has a number of stock images.

Is it a new phone? If so, my own belief is that we haven't seen a rom (stock or modded) that completely suits it yet. My wifi broke with my most recent update (although I found something of a workaround, which I posted a few pages back).

Anyway, search and search some more. They are tucked away in odd posts. And be really, really clear what you're flashing. He says, speaking from hard experience. :eek:
[Android General] rodryguez:
The stock images on the first page are too old.

All the modded firmware that you've seen later have been modded from new stock firmware that are not posted here (there is the 4.04 e1808_v75_jbl1_5640_20120730 original stock firmware that I have seen on a brand new N8000 coming directly from China, and there is also the 4.04 e1808_v75_jbl2_20120807), they all have working wifi, please somebody post them.

As for your solution, it isn't a working solution since it works only on static IP, so nomore open wifi with dynamic IP

Cheers,

Rod
[Android General] nm_guy:
I believe the e1808 4.0.4 is already posted in this thread. If not I'll find the link in the morning when I have the computer back on. I have a JBL2 myself and most of them cause boot loops for me.

The first page is not the only place that roms have been posted.

Like I said in the post, the wifi only works under very specific conditions. It's clearly a dhcp issue, which a lot of the fixer apps in the market deal with, but none fix it. If you figure it out I'd love to hear about it.

Also, I don't think sas is doing any modding. He's finding roms from the russian threads and bringing them over to us.

[Android General] nm_guy:
Maybe I'm not really following here. Why not just flash it using the SP tool? I don't think there's any functional difference in the result.

I'd flash it onto mine and then make a CWM backup, but like I said, it causes boot loops for me, so I'd never make it to that point.

Got my autofocus back!

Did it by flashing 20120705_e1808_v75_jbl1 with uboot.bin and boot.img selected from e1808_v75_jbl2_120807.

So, if you have a phone like mine (one of the newer versions), you might try this if you're desperate.

Now, if I can just leave well enough alone. ;)

nm-guy

seems to me that the wifi problem in the modded firmwares comes from the lack of files in this directory :

Go to /system/etc

you should find the directory dhcpcd

within the original (non modded) fw you should find :

dhcpcd-hooks (with 20-dns.conf and 95-configured)

and

dhcpcd-run-hooks

in /system/etc/wifi you should find

p2p_supplicant.conf

and

wpa_supplicant.conf

The problem is that site is in Russian. Does this phone has an official page where to download the oficcial roms?

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

BTW, is there some fix for the problems with camera focus? Mine doesn't focus most of the time.
[Android General] nm_guy:
I don't think there's an "official" site, at least as far as roms go. But you'll find most of them in the 100+ pages of this thread. Takes some searching and slogging, but there's a lot here.

On the Russian site: If you browse using Chrome, you can have it automatically translate pages. It leads to some comical things like people having conversations about "dancing with tambourines" to refer to some aspect of the process, but you can usually get the gist.

As for the camera, it's not easy. Depending on which rom you want, there's no solution. I posted a thing a couple of posts back about how I finally, after a week of reading, solved mine, so check that out and see if it applies.

Best of luck. This is not an easy phone, but on the plus side, it's very hard to break.

On the preloader, my understanding is that the preloader version doesn't matter, so I try to flash as little as possible each time. In any case, this worked.

On the SP tool: Mine all look like 0000 until I expand the column (grab the divider between the columns and drag to the right), and then I see the regions. Most of them start in the 11th or 12th digit.

[Android General] nm_guy:
Oh, wow. That one never happened to me. Can you kind of recap how you got to this point?

Thoughts include: have you done full wipes between roms? Have you tried alternate versions of similarly named roms? (who knows how all the pieces interact?)

Wish I had an easy answer. Failing anything else, it has been known to happen that simply redoing what you've already done can fix things.

Let me know all the details and I'll see if I can spot anything.

well friend i tried almost everything posted in this forum. at the beggining it was just simply to root my phone, and after i flash it with this file 20120705_e1808_v75_jbl1 my nightmare started. the i follow several procedures in different threads and that is the result. perhaps i dont blame it on anyone this has been a journey of knowlegde for myself. i will keep trying you can bet on that. in fact i forgot to let you know guys my phone settings:

model no: e1808_v75_jbl1

this is the closer i could get...thanks.:o
[Android General] nm_guy:
It sounds very much like what happened to me. First, I'm presuming you actually have the Star N8000. (Where did you buy it from?)

So, here's how I finally fixed it.

I'd start by going into CWM and wiping everything you can: cache, user data/factory reset, and advanced/dalvik-cache.

On my PC, I took the 20120705_e1808_v75_jbl1 from this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29068381&postcount=310

I then downloaded this:

e1808_v75_jbl2_120807: http://www.mediafire.com/?2l1ae3tl7x3b5ry

Then, open the regular SP flash tool on the PC. Choose the scatter file from 20120705_e1808_v75_jbl1. Ignore any warnings. Click the word "uboot" in the list, then choose the uboot.bin from the e1808_v75_jbl2_120807 folder. Click the word "bootimg" in the list and choose the boot.img from e1808_v75_jbl2_120807. *If you already have CWM installed, deselect recovery.img. That way you won't have to reinstall it.*

Power down the phone. Unplug the phone USB. Remove the battery. Click "download" on SP Flash tool. Ignore warnings. Put the battery in the phone. Reconnect the USB. Watch the progress bars in SP Flash. Several colors. Wait for the green circle to pop up as successful, then wait for the battery charging logo to appear on the phone screen. Start the phone. "Rejoice," as the Google translation says on the Russian pages. Hopefully.

That's what I did anyway, and I now how have root, CWM, and autofocus. And I am leaving well enough alone now. I swear I am.

I was an idiot and didn't note it at the beginning, but it seems sure I had a JBL2.

---------- Post added at 07:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

The answer is yes, you can root, but I'd search around a bit and read a little about rooting in general first. Then come back and start reading from the beginning of this thread, taking a few notes along the way. It's a lot to read, but you'll save a lot of headache that others have been through before. So advice: yes, but read a lot first and then we can help more specifically.

For instance, step 1 is making 101% sure which model you have. You have a start with your stats here, but verify the hardware and such. Which you'll get in reading through here.

Good news: yes, you can root. Bad news: you've picked a phone that's a bit tricky to do or to get a step by step for that fits every case. Good news: hard phone to mess up beyond repair. Step 1: lots of reading. Then return and we'll help with whatever doesn't make sense.
