Hi :)

I have recently bought N9770 China Phone Which Has Dual Sim, Dual Core MT6577, Power VR SGX531 GPU, 8 MP Main, 0.3 MP Front, 512 MB ROM.

I've been looking at this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1825332 and wanted to ask there but since I have less than 10 post so I can't reply there it seems. So I would like to ask here just for clarification before I proceed to root my phone: Would I be able to just root my phone safely without changing the firmware or ROM or any sort of drivers, as I think that any change to any of it will cause big problems. It has Kernel of Jul 25, and Baseband of Jun 14 (supposedly last updated by seller on Aug 2). The main reason for rooting is to change the DPI, trying to change the CPU governor settings to reduce clock speed when it sleeps to reduce heating, and for various other apps.

Screenshot: http://i48.tinypic.com/2reh64m.png

Also if possible, could you instruct me proper steps for it as to what applications would I need and how to do it safely? Previously I owned X10 Mini Pro on which I successfully did use nAa kernel by nobodyAtall (using FlashTool) + MiniCM7-2.2.1 by nobodyAtall, so I know the usual flashing stuff. But I am been very careful with this less known N9770 so any help would be greatly appreciated and helpful for others.

Thanks in advance :)

Hi there are no root tools at mo for MTK6577 processor. I am afraid the only way i know to do it is by flashing.its very easy as your only flashing the boot file nothing else it will do nothing except root and it can not really go wrong if you follow the instructions its done in 10 secs,i have used this method and its good and safe..if by any chance things do go wrong but they will not the original boot is in download to flash again

[Q] N9770 Rooting Safely Without ROM Flash

Ok, finally I took the risk of flashing using the guide which was posted by sas007 on his topic, which gave me root rights but eventually lost main and front camera access even on recovery mode. Tried using the orginal boot image which was linked there didn't help me either.

However, I did had whole ROM package for my model beforehand from which I extracted just the boot.img and scatter text file and flashed them instead, returning my phone back to original condition while remaining the root rights still there so this worked for me like a charm! Hopefully this might help for others as well.

I have attached the original boot.img and scatter text file for the model "e1809c_v77_gq1008_5647" and the ROM package filename was "N9770-20120725_e1809c_v77_gq1008_5647.zip" from which I extracted them.

Simply flash as per guide to get the root, then check your cameras if they are working or not. If they don't not then simply rename the boot.img and scatter file to something else so that you can extract and place the new files in there extracted from the attachment and perform the same flashing procedure with those new files and hopefully you will have your phone in original condion + root still existing in there.

Hope it helps :)

I did manage to root it. so my phone is working but did not have the camera issue.

had to install the drivers on another computer. now anyone know how to edit the desktops on the N9770.

and remove the google search bar on desktop I cant remove it or remove desktops.
[General Questions and Answers] fshahid:
[Q] N9770 Rooting Safely Without ROM Flash

Well, I did this on Windows 7 64 bit and I didn't had any driver issues, it installed pretty much perfectly in first attempt when I started flashing, on next attempt it started flashing.

The camera driver issue is related to the scatter text file that you're adding, the scatter file is like a configuration file.

Also, for anyone who got trouble accessing Google Play giving "No Connection" issue, it's because you have to set time and date first.

Thanks, worked perfect for me, using the original post to get root and yours to get back my cameras back :)

Hi friend with the same tool i have flashed custom recovery now the phone is not booting, please help me i dont know what to do, please
[General Questions and Answers] micke4000:
Hi,

Sorry but I didn't flash any custom recovery so I don't have any experience with problems there, sorry, hope someone else can help you!
[General Questions and Answers] sas007:
Reflash the original boot image only with sp flash tool, load firmware as normal ie select scatter file from original stock firmware and then untick everything except the boot image and flash.

Poor Hardware Decode Display

I have a question for those who using "e1809c_v77_gq1008_5647" firmware (I have this one) or any other firmware. Since the very beginning I have noticed very poor hardware decode quality which includes over brightness (which grays up black colors) and dull colors and not so fluid frame rate. Whatever resolution it is, it does not lag and syncs properly with audio but it just looks kinda stuterry 3gp-ish (well not that bad, but looks like playing LQ 240p video on YouTube). So far I am only playing videos using software decode with help of MX Player upto 720p and this does not show any such problems and the colors are vibrant and brightness tone is just perfect so that means the display driver is okay. However for unavoidable hardware decoding like YouTube I would like to know the solution for this even if it requires certain driver flashing.
[General Questions and Answers] sas007:
You are totally correct a different driver combination selected while flashing firmware using MDT could help, also swapping uboots between the stock firmwares/firmwares also as long as same ie all ICS etc. I have done this so many time with other devices to achive what you said. However it is a risky daunting task to get perfect working combination of drivers and a lot of research Flashing.
[General Questions and Answers] fshahid:
Poor Hardware Decode Display

Okay, I just tried all the combinations, and for each hardware part (Rear, Front, Display) there's just one driver that worked. The problem still not solved.

The drivers that worked for each are:

Rear: ov5647_raw

Front: hi704_yuv

Display: KD50M13_40NB_A1

I had following combinations for camera: ov5647_raw, ov7675_yuv, hi704_yuv

And following combinations for display: RX_50NT_365A, KD50M13_40NB_A1, truly3p2599, ili9481, RX_50NT_401B, RX_50RM_401A

Noob troido both this forum and and

Hi there everyone !!

I have read and tried to follow most of the posts about rooting the Star N9770.

My problem is I cannot find the firmware in my phone listed in any post ???

It is :-

1909C_V77_GQ1008_5647_20120920

Can I use any of the listed firmwares as I would like to root this phone for backups etc (use it for work)

Sorry if it's a dumb question but I really have searched for this file everywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] Jalfrezi:
Don't suppose anyone has ported CM10.1 into the N9770 have they ??

I love Cyangenmod roms and 10.1 is awesome in my eyes feature packed just wondered
[General Questions and Answers] chiku1188:
No its not dumb, the thing with these phones is that everything begins in china forums which takes a little time to travel to the english ones :)

That being said,

1. you cannot use any firmware without making sure it matches your smartphones hardware cause if you did it might lead to bricking or etc.

2. and the firmware in question wont matter till you have given sufficient hardware info ( mainly radio module, phone model, cpu { mt6577, 6575... } )

No they haven't cause we need alot more support and files to do that.

An devs open to maybe comming up with a slim jelly rom
[Samsung Infuse 4G] andros11:
The issue with Slim jelly is that he/they won't let anyone port it to other devices. It is only allowed for personal use.

Sent from my sweet & buttery Infuse
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Yeah...we all remember what happened when I ported slim ics... :/

Although...I have been working on a pure aosp jb Rom...its not my top priority (twrp is my top priority) currently it boots but touch is messed up...I'm using cm10 kernel repo and infuse/Aries device repos...so not sure why its so unstable compared to cm10

If I ever do get it stable I may release it...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SIGMAxB:
They already have a slim jelly ? That was by far my favorite ics rom still using it with the current cm9 base .man some people.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Well...after looking at the slim bean thread I noticed this

-its way past my bed time so I may be mis inturperating this...but I think that means your allowed to build it from source...if that's the case...then ill try porting it from source (not the Rom zip)

I'll pm krarvind tomorrow for clarification...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DrQas:
will any of these jellybean roms work with the rogers version?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
They should...you had the prob with data/texts/calls...I replyed in your other thread that your problem is likely due to wrong apns...I think by default cm10 ANC other jb roms use att apns...you just gotta figure out the proper rogers apns...

You could probably google "rogers Samsung infuse apn settings" I would assume that would get you results...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SIGMAxB:
Wow that speaks loud and clear about the devs we have how awesome they are to put aside projects to answer the requests of the masses . Thanks for lookin out for us.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
No promises...I PM'd krarvind for clarification...so it will have to wait till I hear back from him...if he says no...then no worries, I'm currently working on a 100% aosp jb Rom...if I can get that going then I can create a similar Rom to slim...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dustinhayes93:
I do enjoy aosp ^_^ But you should include performance settings from cm10 :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Good news, krarvhind pmd me back....clarified that its fine as long as I compile from source! Gonna work in twrp a little bit then this....hopefully should have a build up by ynight or tomorrow
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SIGMAxB:
Sweet and again thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
I wouldn't expect a build by tomorrow...or anytime soon. this is A LOT more confusing than I thought it would be...the main problem is that slim is based off aosp, not cyanogenmod...also, there is barely any source for slimbean yet...

What makes it confusing is that slim grabs things from sooo many repos...aosp, aokp, cyanogen...etc

Sooooo...with that said...I think I'm gonna try and port slimics from source first since the whole source for that is up...if I can get that going then ill move onto slimbean (for now slimics will be for personal use only...I only received permission for slim bean...after I get slimics working ill contact krarvhind and see if I can upload it for the public...)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dustinhayes93:
Any straight aosp jellybean ports in the work?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Well...I'm working on slim ics, and from there slim bean...

I've also been working on a pure jellybean aosp...although its 100% aosp so its missing a lot of the cyanogenmod10 fixes...so far its like the first cm10 build...it boots, and touchscreen is almost completely un reaponsive

I'm also still working on twrp, I work on all these things everyday...so nothing is paused...when I get frustrated with one project I take a break and work on a different one

(Btw...I'm syncing th slimics repo now...my least favorite part about compiling because it takes freaking forever to do the first repo sync, like 3+ hours for me...)

So...to answer your question, yes/no...a straight aosp jellybean Rom is in the works...but it won't be a port...it'll be compiled from source...if I can get that to work...then I can start making some of my own custom aosp roms in stead of porting them...

I'm still learning as I go...but stay tuned...I have some big plans....

So, *embrace* HTML5 and continue to use Flash based websites until they eventually migrate away from Flash. Backup and keep a version of the APK on your SD card or save it on your computer in case you need to reset the phone.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] jokerzlh:
Hi all,

my A510 was half-bricked since I run the wipe option of CWM (version 5.8.4) last month. It can not boot to system, just hang at 'Iconia tab' logo if I power it on.

I tried to flash the stock recovery back, and flash the update.zip from SD. Every time it just stuck in 1/4 of the progress bar. (even change the zip or SD card):( View attachment 1265506

Then I chose to install the new CWM for A700 ( version 6.0.1.1 ) and success to enter it. All the options can be run without any stuck, except for the wrong picture. I didn't know what to do, so i did all the wipe and format options.

Then it's getting more terrible, it stuck in Acer logo (first screen) after boot, nothing went further.:eek:

Last night I tried the SD flash again. I flashed all the roms from this thread, (I tried all the roms and failed to flash any last time)

To my surprise, one of the rom (1.060.00_EMEA_CUS1) can be flashed!:D

At first it stuck at 1/4 of progress bar as usual, then after a while it went to the 9/10 very quickly!

It reboot a few secs later and I saw 'updating EBT' at the upper left. Then it reboot again.

At the second-time reboot, I didn't see the 'bootloader unlock mode' shown in first sreen anymore, so it seems I made it?:cyclops:

Then I knew I am wrong, it also hang at 'Iconia tab' logo at last. :crying: oh, come on!

I didn't give up and continued to flash other roms. But i was too tired to sleep.:angel:

When i opened my eyes, i saw my tab entered the system finally! :cool:

No, wait! What is it?

title: 'XXXX unsuccessful'(my bad, i can't remember the first word)​

content: 4 lines of words, about to tell u the tab need to be reset.

So I hit the 'reset tablet' button at lower right corner, then it reboot to recovery immediately. I saw the whole progress bar became very active and went backwards, and i waited it for half an hour, but nothing changed.

'coz that was midnight, i plugged the charger and went to sleep.

When I get up, it just hang there. damn it.:mad:

Anybody know what to do next?

p.s. My tab is EMEA-DE version.

Thanks and Regards,

Jokerzlh

I feel like there is a huge gap of information I'm missing with regard to certain things people have been posting, like roms, apps and kernels.

I was able to root my SII i989 (tmobile usa) I have downloaded some apps from the Play store, as thats pretty straight forward. What confuses me is how to download these roms onto the phone. do i have to do it from my phone, or from my PC to phone?
