Backup of ICS

Guys iv tried doing it. Everything works fine but i have some problem with my driver installation. No matter how hard i tried installing the official driver it says "your driver software is up to date!!!!". The pc just doesnt take the official mi 355 drivers. so the fastboot.exe doesnt work properly further.

Its a request to whoever has successfully updated MI 355 to ICS, please take a backup of your rom and post it so that i can restore it from CWM recovery.

I want to try the ICS in my MI 355.

Please somebody:(

Root unroot Spice Mi-355

ATTENTION PLEASE !!!

​

Hi guys. I want to share my experiences with you. Here I found many posts about root and unroot.

But all we should know spice-mi355 has a very little scope to handle random experiments.

The most probable cause is we may brick the phone experimenting. And so far I know we have no fair chance to unbrick it by ourself.

Today I came across a link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1742545&page=14

where a member post a comment

"Still no Luck...

I am gonna take this phone to the service centre here.....

Please help me so that they wont be able to get that i have rooted the phone earlier and if there are any logs .... Any method to clear them....."

.

This is very sad. I dont want anybody here to have this type of situation. So I request you all don't post any method of anything, anyway without confirmation. Cause when you find someone applied your way and ended with his device malfunctioning you will find yourself guilty.

But never get hurt. keep experimenting but in a safe way.

Now coming back to my topic. Here someone posted a way to root mi-355 with the frame ware of Mi-425. But I think this is not a good method.

Cause the hardware of these devices are quite different. You can brick your mi-355!

So I am providing a way to root unroot mi-355. This method is originally for Karbon A7. But you can apply it safely as both the handset have same hardware configuration.

And I think senior member rjunraj will agree with me.

Here is the link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788936&page=13

Just unzip the All_For_S01.rar (provided in the above link) on desktop. Don't connect your mobile through usb cable right now. Wait.

1. Navigate to folder "S01_RECOVERY" .

2. Double click on CWM_RECOVERY.bat.

3. Press enter on the cmd screen. It will ask to connect your mi-355.

4. Now switch off your mobile.

5. Hold down ON+VOLUME UP until green screen is appeared i.e. fastboot screen.

6. Now connect mobile through usb cable.

7. A notification icon will appear on desktop at lower-right. Its for confirmation that your device is now connected as adb shell.

8. Now press enter on cmd screen. It will flash mi-355 and bring cwm recovery. Your phone will automatically reboot now.

9. Put ROOT Installer or ROOT Uninstaller as specific to your need in your sd-card and Flash via CWM Recovery (Red Screen).

10. Hope you are not too novice to understand step no. 9. That's all.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] souravmohuri:
ROM FOR mi-355

Hi runraj. If you are on the way to build a modded stock rom for mi-355, can you modify init.rc

present in boot.img.

I wanted to flash dtapps2sd in CWM. But every time I tried with different versions, I failed. I guess its a big issue with most of the stock roms. Cause the code to launch Apps2SD is not present in the init.rc present in boot.img.

So while compiling the rom please unpack the boot.img. Find init.rc and modify it with the commands to run Apps2SD. Then repack it.

It will be a big achievement.

If we can use dtapps2sd then we can place dalvik cache on sd-ext. And through this way we can free up internal memory better than ever.

At present I am not using linux (for some dumb usb modem problem, very recently my ubuntu started failing to recognize my bittel usb modem.)

Otherwise I could help you in this regard.

Hope you will take my words seriously.

I am very new here. But I was using linux for 5 years. So when I bought my Galaxy Y, I found android is nothing but linux. And now I am getting addicted. If in near future I can afford to buy a new usb modem I will try to build custom roms. For now, I am learning the whole thing and I think I have to learn a lot.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Yes you can always try. But you need to backup your rom first. So if anything wrong happened, you can always revert back to your default rom.

By the way do you have mi-355 stock rom?

Are you fancy with mi-355 stock rom's appearance?

Stock roms have many restrictions. Wait for any custom rom. Mean while learn how to port a rom to work for another rom. This is I think is not a difficult task. Once you learn the process you can able to use beautiful custom rom in your device. Google it.

Its interresting.

So for your question, do a nandroid backup and proceed further.:fingers-crossed:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjunraj:
Yes mi355 stock rom would 200% work on a7

But your menu and back keys would be exchanged and search key wont work.right now i dont have stock rom but only cwm backup.i will create update.zip from it but i need a7 stock rom to make keys working on mi 355 stock rom.

But i dont think its a good idea coz both rom are same.

We can move cache files to sd ext.

I have already done.

And u just need to edit build.prop nothing else.

I recomend link2sd coz we can back it up in cwm .

I have installed 66 apps including assasins creed.frontline commando and many heavy games.

And one more good news.

My battery now last full one day on heavy usage.

For that again u need to edit build.prop and increase wifi scan interval.

I have underclocked it too 600 mhz.

And using antutu cpu for that.

With different profiles.

Mi 355 is such a powerful device coz at 600 mhz it plays temple run and assaseen creed very smoothly

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------

No m neither making a modded rom nor porting any.

There are few reasons.

First is spice is gonna release ics update very soon.

So no one would be using gb rom on mi355.so all hardwork would be wasted.

And another problem is time.:(

But i can make a little themed and perfomance based customised stock rom.i have already themed it and done some tweaks.

Which are really nice.

If in next 10 days we wont get update i will make an ics themed rom.
