Well, the only taiwan v3 i've found is from the 24. Aug. There should be a 29. August around,right?

I also tried stock H640_77v01.01b06, but loads of options were still in chinese. Then i installed a modded version of this stock, but google sync and the play store didn't work....
[General Questions and Answers] garyo:
v3 has the 24 Aug kernel, H640_77v01.01b06 is 29 Aug. Easy enough to disable or uninstall the Chinese apps for anyone that doesn't want them.

I'm running H640_77v01.01b06 and have no issues with play store etc. The modded rom you used must have caused that.

Thanks for updating your blog and include all that information!

My phone IMEIs seem correct, IMEI numbers (in Settings) are the same printed in the label under the battery, but I tried two different SIM cards (from different carriers, both work ok on other cellphones), and I get a "Mobile network unavailable" message.

I haven't rooted the phone yet, I will today. After that, the steps will probably be: 1) restore IMEI numbers if deleted, and 2) Replace the MP0B_001 with a new one. Is that right?

Thank you very much. I'm completely new to all this Android stuff, I have had other Android devices, but I never rooted them or had this kind of problems.

Have u tried to flash partialy? the 5 small parts first, get battery and usb out and try again one block at a time, after every block get battery out and usb and proceed to next?

Hi cketehan, I successfully rooted the phone, and then folowed the "No service" post in your blog, but no luck, still no service. I used imei.exe, generated the new MP0B_001 file and replace it. I tried the original phone IMEIs (the ones printed), and then I tried the IMEIs of another china phone I own (that works ok).

One thing I noticed is that the "Signal strength" information (under Settings) is 0dB. May this be a symptom of a hardware problem, such as the GSM antenna cable not soldered, as Swne said?

Thanks!

My "No Service" issue was definitly a Hardware-issue. My Signal was 0dBm on both SIMs and the IMEI was ok.

The Cable was directly loose under the SIM2-Slot ...from underside (right SIM).

I have put it so: drawing out the Screw at the right side and fingering with a toothpick (broken ;) ) ...i need round one hours for these Operation.

Best regards

[General Questions and Answers] andregio:
Thanks for the details, Swen!

I opened mine, but definitely isn't loose, cable is well attached to both ends. Something else has to be wrong.

I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843812&page=2. It's not a Tinji phone, but the symptom is similar. Anyone called your phone company to see if an updated SIM card may solve the issue?

Following the same thread, I checked Phone Info, and I there's something I think it's odd, but I'm not sure, it says: GSM service: Radio off. Then there's a button "Turn on radio", but when I tap it, nothing happens. Anyone can explain what is the "radio", if it should be on or off?

[General Questions and Answers] humpty_dumpty_empty:
To all of my friends - herez how u change ur IMEI on androids:

1. Use RootExplorer to copy back that backup MPOB_001 file from your external SD card into folder /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/. (or if that folder does not exists, maybe /nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/

2. There is a IMEI_mtk6575.exe file which allows to create this file (google search and you'll get it)

3. Use your earlier phone valid IMEI and note them separately.

4. Once you've this exe file run the file which will open dos prompt.

5. On the dos prompt enter imei.exe XXXX YYYY (where the XXXX = your valid imei from earlier phone & YYYY = either new valid imei or you can use the same valid IMEI again)

6. Press enter and you'll note a new file created where you have run your IMEI_mtk6575.exe

7. copy this file to your android phone on the above mention location...

8. reboot your phone and wallaaahh!!!!! you are on...

njoy!!!!! use thanks guys if this helps u....

would need for touch diamond 2 9300... anyone who has same phone.. please share...
[General Questions and Answers] andregio:
Thanks..!!

I used IMEI tool, but I think I used the parameters incorrectly... I used: imei.exe XXXX YYYY, where XXXX was IMEI for SIM Slot 1 and YYYY was IMEI for SIM slot 2... that's worng, isn't it?

One more question, when you say "Reboot" you mean "Press the power button and select Reboot option", right?

Thanks again

Is there any way to make the phone save a log of what's happening when it tries to connect to mobile network?

Regards,
[General Questions and Answers] g4govind87:
Try some diffirent Imei

try some another imei from another phone which has a working network status. change last 3 digits.

generate a new file as told in earlier posts.(MPOB_001). push the new imei file into /nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/

but i m not responsible and sure what will happen if your imei no will be exactly same as of some other fone in your country.

do it at your own risk bcz changing imei no may be banned in your country.

I just did this mod an hour ago. I am using the Taiwan VIP V03 and it works just fine. I did add a couple spaces before adding WAKE because it seems to be done like that when comparing to other examples.

I can't get my GPS to work at all though even when following the tutorials and changing the conf. Did you change permissions and reboot?

Edit: Is there a way to calibrate the proximity sensor with the tinji?
[General Questions and Answers] jimmykar:
can u pls write the command that you use in your phone?

and the type of permissions too.....??

for proximity sensor i have no found any calibration tool.....u can only see if works from the test menu...but not to calibrate

u cant sse satelites at all?

u see some of them but u can not lock?

whaT?

I have my phone apart trying to find the GSM Antenna connector... still looking for it. On the good side, my inside looks like yours! LOL. Did you investigate the phone any further? example: There is a black push button switch, above the white serial number sticker (top right). The switch is similar to the volume toggle and power button. Any clue what it does since there is no button on the casing for this to black switch to work?

I cannot see any sattelites at all. I did replace the gps.conf according to the tutorial and addet the URL for austria but no change.

Proximity sensor: That's too bad. Mine does not really work well. When i want to abort a call i have to push the power button to activate the screen. It did not do that with the stock ROM though. This came with the VIP rom wich means there has to be a way to fix it.

Edit: I used Rom Toolbox and it's integrated bowser. Permissions i simply activated everything i could.

So for the proximity you can go to test menu and calibrate the proximity...

[General Questions and Answers] Jequan:
Yeah i would like that too. I did modify the button according to the tutorial on the blog but that only works if you lock it and try to unlock it again by pressing the homebutton. It will then activate.

If the phone is locked for a long time i guess it will go into some sleep mode (power saving mode?) - at that point the home button wont get it to activate the screen anymore even after adding the WAKE function tot he button.

Interference noises during calls

I am using Taiwan VIP v.03-1 ROM but I can nott make a phone call because there are strong interference noises and the person on the other side does not hear me.

The noises sound like coupling among microphone and speaker and probably are due to a poor definition of the audio parameters of microphone and internjal or external speakers.

Thanks to many people who collaborated in this forum and in the chinagizmos.blogspot is very easy to enter into the engineer menu and modify the audio parameters. However, it is quite difficult to figure out the right values for all the parameters.

It would be very nice if someone who does not have this kind of noises could post a table with the audio parameters.

Thank you
