2. Make a full backup on the SD card menu rekaveri backup and restore

3. Copy the patch to the external card StarV1277_Update.zip patch from etogo archive http://files.china-iphone.ru/959Star% 20V1277% 20Firmware% 20Patch.zip

3. After fleshtul set EBR1.bin

Etogo to replace the firmware in a folder on a standard file from the archive EBR1.bin http://files.china-iphone.ru/959Star% 20V1277% 20Firmware% 20Patch.zip, load vleshtule skater in the file and remove the check mark from all but two top file and EBR1.bin

V12 mtk6575 sleep reboots

Hello all,

I am the unhappy owner of a V12 MTK6575 (unhappy cause I ordered an MTK6577 and got this instead) but on top of that this phone seems to be defective.

Whenever it goes to sleep mode on its own or by pressing the power button, it reboots for no other apparent reason. It reboots about once every 1.5 minutes.

The only way I found to avoid that from happening, was to use an app to prevent it from going to sleep and hence rebooting. However that cannot be a permanent solution.

I wiped the cache a couple of times, and a factory reset a few more from the recovery console but that did not help.

The phone is not rooted yet.

Has anyone here encountered similar problems with this phone?

The android version is 4.0.3

The baseband version MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V14.2012/06/01

Kernel version 3.0.13

PS in the recovery console (PWRon and volume up) it shows me the android with an open belly but no menu. If I use the volume down button, the menu appears and with this button the navigation is ok. When the volume up button is used to navigate the menu though, the menu disappears with every second push: Push volume+ once, the menu goes up, push second time, the menu vanishes from the screen etc etc. Is that normal operation for this phone? Cause with my ZTE blade the operation is flawless.

v1277: USB disappeared

Hello, noob here, trying to understand what is wrong with the iStar v1277 I got from one of the Chinese websites.

Initially my Ubuntu PC was able to see the device (`lsusb`) in both Debug mode and Mass Storage mode. Now USB seems to be gone. Connecting the device to the PC does not trigger anything, neither in Ubuntu nor in Windows, on two different PCs, although the battery still charges over the USB cable.

About phone tells me that it is:

* Android version 4.0.4

* Basenband version MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V1, 2012/07/16 13:29

* Kernel Version 3.0.13test@test-virtual-machine #2 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jul 26 10:56:54 CST 2012

* Build number 11G9_1009_120725_OV5647_ICS2V1_V01_TST_CN

I suspect the phone was a return because when I received it from China it was set to Russian language and it was already rooted (adb shell had a # prompt and not the expected $ from the beginning, although the su, busybox and Superuser.apk binaries seemed to have been deleted and I had to copy fresh ones into the expected locations. I did a factory reset (accessed the system recovery from the menu entry in About Phone) and the phone came back to life in Chinese, as expected.

I did not change/reflash the ROM yet. The ROM that came with the phone was doing OK for me so far. I will consider reflashing to get back USB access. Can I reflash without USB connection? How? All I can do right now is copy files via bluetooth, access the console via remote ADB, and copy files to the micro SDHC card by removing it from the phone and plugging it into my computer.

My longer term goal is to build my own ROM, either from Android's own source code; or from Cyanogen (my preference), but I am still quite far away from that goal. I have built Linux from scratch and done some coding on that platform, so in that sense I am not exactly a noob. My immediate goal is to get USB working again as expected.

Can any of the experts help me understand if I can get USB functionality back, and if so how? Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] newbornlife:
ok, rooted. Custom recovery anyone?

thanks for clarifying that Djmax

Now the phone is rooted, with the MTKdroidtools easily as long as it is set on the USB developer and media device.

I am also looking for a custom recovery CWM for example, but the recovery linked a few posts ago seems to demand a subscription. this link is for unrooting.

Could somebody upload it on some other file-hosting service?

thanks

Phone boots up ok now, but I get invalid sims come up. I go in to the settings/ about phone/ status/ imei infomation and I get unknown on both my sims slots.

Can some one tell me how I can flash my imei numbers back in to the phone, I known the numbers as they are the ones that are marked on the back inside under the battery.

Thank in advance.

P.S. a guide would be nice for newbee
[General Questions and Answers] newbornlife:
There is a software I think it is called Zopo Imei, or something like that that can help you rewrite your imei.

You could probably also use the MTKDroidtools that have a similar function. I do not know which one is easier and have not used either. But do some reading before you proceed with that, though I do not think it can get any worse than not having an IMEI :)

v12 MTK6575 reboots solved.

Soooooooooooo

I think I found a solution to my problem.

I rooted the phone and installed a couple of different roms that I found compatible with my phone, but nothing worked. The reboots continued.

Then I came across a forum post hinting that reboot and instability problems during sleep was attributed to the core chip frequency during sleep.

So with the rooted phone, I downloaded an overclocking app and increased the minimum frequency from 166Mhz to 250Mhz.

I almost cried when after pressing the power-sleep button twice and then a few more times, the phone woke up normaly without rebooting normally.

So thats that.

it seems I was too optimistic:( The above happened with the phone connected via USB to the computer. Once the cable was removed. It wend back to rebooting:(((

Hi everyone.

I recently bougth a micro d-hdmi to hdmi for my v1277 so that I could use it to connect to my lcd tv.

I connected it and it works. The only thing that bothers me is that it won't go on full screen on the tv. The picture is always on portrait and centered at the lcd which kind a disgusted me. I cannot find any options on the hdmi menu to turn it to fullscreen or have it default to landscape mode just to use the whole screen real state.

Does anybody knows howntp do it? Is there an app to solve this that is available on google play.

$100 Bounty for a solution

Hi,

I am from the U.S. and I badly need to enable the WCDMA-AWS-1700 bandmode on this phone (v1277 based on MT6577). I am offering $100 USD bounty/reward/donation to whomever can come up with a working solution for this problem. I can send the money via PayPal to the first person who succeeds in fixing this issue.

It is my understanding that the radio of this SoC is handled by MT6162 which supposedly supports WCDMA-AWS-1700. Also, the engineer mode for the phone lists this option, even though it is grayed-out (as mentioned by other posters here). So I have reason to believe that the hardware of the phone offers this functionality, but for some reason the manufacturers limit it. Thank you in advance!

Any opinions on this phone (for a general user, not a dev or too interested in modding it), please inbox me. Quality and durability are my main concern.

Any help in much appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] lukacsp:
Quality: its surprisingly good, i had to dissassemble it because of a front speaker contact error (it happens other phones too). Its clean, nicely organised and good-looking. The LCD is quite bright and sharp, its like IPS on some other phones. The standard gift silicone case is very good, but i like the phones case too, it is nearly undestructible. The system is fast and stable, running time is 2 days with moderate using.

I say that with a lot of experience: i had Zopo, Lenovo, ZTE and a bounch of other OEM phones from China.

My only pain is that the HDMI is still buggy now, i hope it will repaired soon (its a software error).

Durability: Its a new phone, so no one can answer that question yet. My opinion is that its made with very similar components as any other mtk based phones, so it will be ok. The battery is replaceable, you will get 2 anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] Sunil_237:
Thanks, I've not used a china phone yet, they seem too cheap to be good, and I'm sceptical so it's nice getting feedback from a mobile phone community.

I'm not too fused about the HDMI, won't use it at all I'd think.
