Thanks for your compliment. The mtk6588 phone looks really good but I think it will only be released end of this year or early next year and I will buy it too. You are right about the note being too big but I travel a lot so dual sim and a bigger screen works for me as I don't have to bring my Asus transformer 10 inch or a laptop with me.

I haven't had experience with scripting and ADB so I rather not do it myself. By the way, I found a rooted rom for the phone. I am using a Zopo ZP900s rom and it works great. I am currently doing the camera review. Will post it after I upload it.

Unlocking Tinji i9300 for United States... HELP

Can anyone help???

Here is my phone info (click picture)

The phone is rooted. I put my sim card into the phone and I have no service. I had tried to change the IMEI using IMEI generator and using the IMEI from my current working phone and this did not work. I have tried various unlocking tools, even if they were not for my actual model, most of them did not recognize my phone.

I am assuming I have to unlock the phone to have service. Any suggestions?

What is the issues with my phone? example: Are my IMEI's not vaild in my country?

Can anyone guide me in the correct direction?
[General Questions and Answers] vesztergom:
I've asked more times, but maybe nobody knows the solution for this:

I'd like to set the menu language to hungarian, but there is no hungarian language in the phone's menu... How can I set up the language?

Maybe there are hidden languagas which depends on the phone's localisation? (Unfortunately the morelocale app can't solve my problem.)

Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Is not a volume problem, it is like a gsm signal problem, the voice of caller is distorted... i recall and is perfect.. :confused::confused:

By the way: i9300 is too big for me, i'm looking for an alternative phone, with:

Screen 4" (amoled?)

Android 4.0.x (without problem.. please...)

Front camera and 5mp or 8mp back camera

Flash led

dual sim

wi-fi/BT/GPS

512mb ram

Some ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] garyo:
The phone is already unlocked so is ready to go out of the box.. Did you actually try the phone before rooting it? Is it possible you have a faulty sim?

I notice your kernel is dated 13 Aug. Very early in this thread others were having IMEI issues after rooting their phones using a certain method with that particular kernel.

You could always update to the latest stock rom as I suggested a while back. That would certainly clean the slate, giving you a fresh start and also with any improvements the latest contains. Maybe worth a try dude, save any more frustration ;)
[General Questions and Answers] mrfrustrated:
Cool, one less option off the table... the phone is unlocked. I did try to put my SIM card in before I rooted. I do not think I have a faulty SIM, it works in my current HTC Touch Pro 2 and in my Blackberry. OK... I Flashed with H640_77v01.01b06, that is what I have been running, I thought this was a stock rom? If this is incorrect, I hate to bother you and make you look back, but just so I am clear, what rom am I looking for?

I hope something works, this has been a week of frustration, I have purchased phones from China before and they worked, not sure what to do about this one... I'm about to make it a mini tablet for surfing the web... LOL. Thanks for all your suggestions!!!
[General Questions and Answers] garyo:
No-worries mate.... Yes H640_77v01.01b06 is the stock rom I was referring to. However it is curious you have a kernel dated 13 Aug when that rom updates it to 29 Aug. That earlier kernel gave others IMEI issues. I'm guessing, but maybe when you rooted it you used a customised boot img with the older kernel in it. My suggestion would be to apply the boot.img from the H640_77v01.01b06 package.

Lets see if that sorts the problem and end your week of frustration :cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] mrfrustrated:
Downloaded a fresh copy of H640_77v01.01b06 from this post, SP Flash Tool, stock rom on phone... no service. :confused: Kernel is still Aug 13.

Anything thoughts? Should I clear anything out??? Like something in memory?

Thank again buddy! Finally someone who will, at the least, give me some guidance!
[General Questions and Answers] garyo:
Have you tried resetting the phone to factory defaults in Settings/Backup & reset ? First take the battery out to be real thorough that memory caches have been flushed.

Very strange you still have the old kernel. You using flash tool v3.1222 ?? You get the little Ok window with the green circle after flashing it? Did you also remove the battery and USB cable from the phone

before

flashing it? Then connect it all up when flash tool begins "searching" Ya probably already know all that part but just covering all bases here.

Hope it helps.. :)
[General Questions and Answers] garyo:
Yes it may be a few months before the 6588 comes out. In time for Xmas I hope! ;) I see that MediaTek have announced an 8-core 6599 chip. However it won't be out for another year.. Anyway, great things on the horizon with mobile devices! :D

Let us know when you post your camera review. Be interesting to see how that looks in comparison to this one. Noticed in your last review that you had good gps and phone signals. I guess the larger size helps a bit but maybe also HDC did a better job with the receivers.

[General Questions and Answers] mrfrustrated:
Hey Gary,

Ok... thank you for trying to cover every option. Yes, I am flashing correctly. Yes I am using v3.1222. Here is what I have done so far:

1. Flashed with only the stock software H640_77v01.01b06, Kernel Aug 29, Sim in [no service], rooted with mkroot_adb and got error [http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30968622&postcount=158], rooted with root-boot and Kernel back to Aug 13, Sim in [no service], used IMEI_windows to change the IMEI, Still [no service]

2. Flashed only stock H640_77v01.01b05, Kernel Aug 20, Sim in [no service], rooted with mkroot_adb and got the same error as above, rooted with root-boot and Kernel back to Aug 13, Sim in [no service]

3. Then I flashed H640_77v01.01b06 and H640_77v01.01b05 with the tinji i9300_recovery_mod and Taiwan101-tinji-recovery... nothing, [no service]

4. Then I went a little more crazy. I did a bunch of combination of both stock rom over again and used different recoveries and boot.img.

5. Then I did H640_77v01.01b05 , rooted, changed the IMEI, [no service]

6. The I found H640_77v01.01b06.moded.v0.3, this is already rooted, flashed it, and it was rooted with Aug 29 still! But... [no service]

Few side note:

-I put my sim card in, not rooted or rooted and it knows my network provider, but never gives me service.

-I have wiped out the Preloader, DA. and Android ADB Interface off my device manager and reinstalled drivers.

-I don't know where to go from here.

Sorry to take up so much of your time. I am just frustrated because this is now not making sense.

Once again, any thoughts?

Thank a million!

No application is using android daemon (as far as I know).

[General Questions and Answers] garyo:
Mate, you need to change ya name from Mr Frustrated to Mr Patience!! You have the patience of a saint to go through all that :angel:

Well I think you have covered it all. Those stock roms you installed would have cleaned the slate and taken it back to the factory state.

You mention that it recognises your network provider so that illuminates a faulty sim card. Are you in a fringe reception area ? Maybe the signal is just too weak for this phone were you live? Also, have you tried the sim card in the other sim slot? Can you try a sim card from another phone to see if that works? Lastly, check on the net to see what frequency your provider operates at. Maybe it is outside the range of this phone, but I wouldn't imagine it is.

Yes my phone is the same as in that vid, except mine has a crack in the screen now :rolleyes:

My experience with Tinji i9300

Hello guys,

First i want to thank you all, i got many ideas and solutions from this thread.

My phone was bought as HD|C i9300+ but came as Tinji i9300 which finally was for good as i found this thread.

I rooted the phone using Taiwan recovery and mkroot script that were mentioned earlier in this thread.

Thanks for the wifi solution ideas, finally i did the aluminum tape mod and the results are fantastic, at location that i didn't had any signal i now have three lines. I tested also the wire solution but the signal was getting very low when i had the phone in hand.

For the gps the only solution that worked very good for me was the wire, but is not a handy solution and the gps is not so important for me, so i don't care.

Initially i was disappointed cause the phone was almost unusable as phone, either very low volume or interference noise while in call.

I tested some ROMs (Taiwan/Stock) but my voice problems were not ending.

Finally i found a link at a German forum at chinamobiles.org/showthread.php?31647-Star-GT-i9300-MT6577/page13 see post 249

This solved my voice problems, also there are no Chinese apps.

Flashed the same way as Taiwan ROM, then flashed recovery and then rooted it with the mkroot batch script.

One thing to mention for the root process to start is to install the Android Composite device drivers in windows if the phone is not recognized by the system, i used the android sdk google usb driver.

Another is that the HOME key was not working after flashing this ROM but the solution is provided at the same thread posts 272 till 296.

I don't speak German but Google is our friend, not perfect translation to English but i was able to understand, a big thanks.

The Bluetooth worked for file transferring but not with sound. I found the solution in this thread xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1899592 (Thank you), is the "test fix for Bluetooth problem".

I downloaded the signed_BJMOD_fix_BT_test2.zip and installed it with CWM recovery, the Bluetooth sound after reboot was perfect.

Anyway, this was my experience and i decided to share it as may also help other people.

This is my first post so i avoided the http prefix at the links.

Thank you all.

Urgent Need Original Tinji i9300 Boot.img (MTK6577)

Well, b4 I flash the rooted Boot.img, my phone is NO black screen problem during calls.

It just happens after flashing the Rooted Boot.img. The problem persists after Clear emmc and Restore Factory defaults.

Therefore, I want to flash back the Original Boot.img.

Can someone just ReadBack and post for me?

[General Questions and Answers] hardi75:
I still do not really understand the problem. Is your screen black DURING calls or also AFTER calls, means it comes not back after hang up.

You can try the app 'KeepScreen' from the market to force the screen keeping on during calls, you also can boot in the testmenue (phone off, press and hold vol+ and power button) and recalibrate your proximity sensor.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

Readback using the flashtool.

Same precedure like readback the boot.img but with these adresses : recovery-file (0x0000000001588000 / 0x00600000)

Did you perform a readback from you boot.img before flashing the root-file ? I gave a short 'howto' in Post 16.

Hi folks,

Yes, my Phone just Black Screen when in-calls and resume Normal when hang-up.

Actually, I've already tried most app like Call light, Proximity Off, etc. but all of them just no help.

There are item Testing in boot menu of (Vol+ & Power button) but I can't find Any calibration of sensors.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] hardi75:
Ok, i see. In Testmode you can only calibrate the G-Sensor, not the PS.

But the black screen during call is normal if phones come with a proximity sensor. Thats what the sensor is for. If the screens comes back when you take the phone away from your head everything is fine.

You can test the function in the Testmenue (Alps/PS) and you can look in the market for a proximity calibration tool.
