There is no Jelly Bean for V1277 and it will never be. The manufacturer hasn't released any update and the phone is quite old now so i doubt that in the near future they will update its firmware. No mediatek drivers, no mediatek managers, no system. If you want a Jelly Bean system you have to buy a newer phone. That's how the market usually works, unfortunately.

CWM recovery.

Hi,

I just got this phone V1277 firmware v08 and rooted it no problem with MTK Tools.

MTK created a CWM folder in my external SD card but I'm trying to work out how to install the CWM recovery.

Any help on this would be appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Avensis828:
CWM help.

1. DOWNLOAD MTK DROID TOOLS

2. EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER

3. KILL ADB SERVER USING the command 'adb kill-server' in terminal on your PC

3. Extract your rom to a folder As well.

4. OPEN MTK DROID TOOLS AND CLICK ON THE "ROOT, BACKUP, RECOVERY" TAB.

5. LOOK FOR "RECOVERY AND BOOT" BUTTON, THEN NEXT TO IT, ENABLE THE RADION BUTTON/CHECK BOX NAMED "TO CHOOSE BOOT.IMG

FILE".

6. NOW CLICK ON THE "RECOVERY AND BOOT" BUTTON AND THE NAVIGATE TO THE FOLDER WHERE YOU EXTRACTED YOUR ROM FILE AND

THEN SELECT BOOT.IMG FILE, CLICK OPEN. NEXT, SELECT THE RECOVERY.IMG FILE, AND CLICK NEXT.

7. ENTER YOUR PHONE NAME IF IT ASKS YOU TO ENTER, YOU MAY ENTER ANY NAME YOU WANT.

8. THERE WILL BE 2 FILES CREATED IN THE MTK DROID FOLDER (MtkDroidTools\recovery).

9. RENAME EACH OF THE CREATED FILES TO BOOT.IMG AND RECOVERY.IMG RESPECTIVELY.

10. NOW GET THESE FILES AND REPLACE THE ONES FROM YOUR ROM, OPEN FLASH TOOL. SELECT THE SCATTER FILE . AFTER IT LOADS

UNCHECK ALL OTHER FILES IN THE CHECK BOXES, JUST LEAVE BOOT.IMG AND RECOVERY.

11. FLASH THE TWO FILES. YOUR PHONE HAS CMW NOW.

I read this information from kachmul2004 but as anyone else tried it and had success?

My concern is, there are reports of bricking the v1277 when trying to install CWM recovery onto v08 firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] cacoe:
Screen Tearing

I'd also like to have some clearer instructions on flashing CWM. Well, actually, the instructions are very clear but a link to a version of CWM that has been tried and proven to work, by someone who has flashed it! My worry is bricking it via flashing the wrong verison.

Anyway, I seem to have a screen tearing/vsync problem which no one else has either noticed/or has.

Anyone else seeing this? Know of a fix? I would really appreciate it if you do!

recovery mode already on this phone

I have stumbled upon recovery mode on the v1277 .

To put phone in recovery mode power off first , hold vol up key and press power button , then press vol up once more and recovery menu appears.

Holding this longer brings up the factory test programs.

I have now backed up my v1277. firmware 08
[General Questions and Answers] cacoe:
Well I'm trying to fix my issues via flashing some different firmwares for the v1277

Only one of them works!

The rest give me the following error:

When just clicking 'download' in flashtool, I get error: (8038) PMT is ready and layout has changed.

When using Firmware -> Upgrade, I get error: S_DA_INVALID_RANGE (3036)

Any ideas? I can't help but think my problems might be solved with an alternative ROM.

So, looking through a whole bunch of google translated russian forums, it seems that the white version of this phone has a different display than the black ones have had. That means, there is only a single rom currently which supports the device at all.

I can't see any fixes for the vsync problem :/
[General Questions and Answers] cacoe:
Well apparently, the display on newer (and mainly white) V1277's is different hardware to the older stuff. V08 is the only firmware to work on handsets with the new display :/

Front/Back Camera issue

Hi guys,

For those who flashed ROMs for the V1277 with only front camera issue (no icon to switch between front/back camera), I successfully flashed a good ROM with no problems at all, yet. The only thing I wished to have is the combined 2.7GB ROM. Nevertheless, this can be solved by changing the /system/etc/vold.fstab file with root explorer.

ROM: 1009T_121108_OV5647_ICSV1.3_V08_COM_EN, with CWM but not rooted.

For root use: Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17, easy and fast.

Good luck :good:

Hi, I have the same issue.

My BIRD V1277 sports these specs:

16:40

Kernel version

3.0.13

Build number

Did you fix it or at least find out how many units are affected by this bug? Does the bug reside just in the 121108 build? installing an older firmware fixes it?

Thanks for any reply, I'm just trying to figure out if there's a quick fix for it and if considering a replacement (which they agreed, in case) is a sensible solution or not - I wouldn't want to wait 2 weeks to get a "blank" replacement representing the issue :eek::crying:

driver for mass storage ( access to sd card)

Hello.

I 'm using the v1277 and windows 7 64bits.

All I would like to do is to connect to my computer : like I do with my mp3 player : I would like to be able to upload files on the sd card that I installed on the phone.

But windows says it cant find a drive, that there is no mass storage driver that work with the phone. It detects the phone as " MT65xx Android Phone", but thats all. on the phone I activated the mass storage. Debug mode usb on phone is off.

I tried 3 differents drivers from this site (this thread actually) none works. None are recognize . My guess is drivers here are for flashing etc, some are emulators for virtual com port. I dont want to unroot/flash or anything like that , just raw access to my 32go sd card , because now I'm stuck unless I open the phone remove the card, plug it on the computer etc, which will result in destroying the phone as it's not made to be removed everyday.

any help please...?

hello , thanks for the tips I tried those and yes it works. but I found why it didnt work on 7 64 bits ! Actually the usb setting was to " usb storage" . but it needs to be to " MTP multimedia device". As soon as I choose multimedia device instead of usb storage, it works ! in win 7 64, it doesnt show up as drive but as a little ipad/ipod logo with the name : "bird77_a_ics2" and then I have 2 drives : "sd card" , and "phone storage" ! So it's really good to know that the usb setting must be different from XP for win 7 64. with this probleme solved I can say I'm pretty happy with this device though it wasnt my first choice.
