I had problem earlier but I beleive it was not due to rooted phone but due to flashing new rom 07/13

I managed to get my front camera by doing the following...

1. Using SP flash tools version v3.1222.000

2. Scatter-loading file latest version 07/13

3. Format (Full format - click top left box)

4. Click Download (reconnect phone)

Notes... I am flashing while batteries out. Get the correct driver first..

For IMEI, I explain on earlier post...

Good Luck... dont worry, I had my phone brick earlier and I got it back... I am a novice... keep on trying...
[Android General] brotherman38:
So you were able to get the front camera working using the 7/13 firmware? How is your bluetooth working?
[Android General] usopjidin:
Yes... my bluetooth is fine... so as my gps I recalibrated and all working fine except gyrpscope still not functioning... I am working on it..
[Android General] brotherman38:
So do you think the full format first made the difference? What do you mean by recalibrated? When I did my flash I just left the battery in with the phone off, do you think that makes a difference?
[Android General] usopjidin:
I flash without the battery on as the procedure for rooting in the first page.

As for recalibartion.. I had my gps taking so long to receive the signal and google I found way to recalibrate that gps receiver... will give you the link later.. it is in russian language..
[Android General] brotherman38:
I take it you used this firmware version 20120713_e1809c_v77_lx529_x710d2.zip ?
[Android General] usopjidin:

I just copy it and rephrase the instruction;

Improving the quality of GPS

1. Disable or Turn off the GPS, EPO, A-GPS. (under setting, then location)

2. Delete or rename file mtkgps.dat in the directory /data/misc (must be root and could us RootExplorer).

3. Reboot your phone.

4. Go out into the open (street no high rise buildings nearby).

5. Enabled or Turn on the GPS, EPO, A-GPS

6. Dialing * # * # 3646633 # * # *

* Select YGPS.

* Information tab

* Click Full, and then Cold, then A-GPS restart.

* Go to the tab Sattelites - and waiting for the signal to be recorded (this may take a few minutes to tens of minutes).

6. Exit the menu and YGPS

After this manipulation, the gps test 14 and 11 connected visible satellites (max 6 satellites before it), and I note this data from the balcony three floors, to which trees and a 10 storey building. R-Miheev

Good lucks..

I will reflash my phone tonight, with format, currently my GPS is working great, just the bluetooth is flaky, no front camera, and compass. Can you post a link to the location of the firmware, and flashtool you used, I just want to make sure i have the same files? Thanks for all the help

Unfortunately it didn't work :(. But it did erase my IMEI numbers :(. the format is not a good idea.

flashing new firmware with Flash Tool

I just received my X710D and it has 20120712 (not 0713) firmware on it. I want to update it to the latest available 0713 FW with the Flash Tool. I downloaded the 0713 FW and unzipped it already.

I had no problem setting up the Flash Tool, which recognizes the phone. However, when I use the "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" from this firmware, it says "Error: initializing scatter file failed. Please check the name of the scatter file which you load is legal"

Question (1): How should I proceed?

Question (2): After I got the scatter file loaded, which file in the firmware folder corresponds to which field in the box (apart from the ones I can figure out from the guide in this post)?

Thanks.
[Android General] usopjidin:
Question (1): How should I proceed?

Get the precompiled flash tool for x710d SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1222.00.zip from GreatPharaoh

Question (2): After I got the scatter file loaded, which file in the firmware folder corresponds to which field in the box (apart from the ones I can figure out from the guide in this post)?

Once you open the program, you only need one file to pick which is MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt, the rest will be filled automatically from the folder of your 0713 rom

PLEASE UNTICK UBOOT - I understand that this will cause some sensors problems as mentioned in previous threads..

GOOD LUCK..

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

I am sorry to hear that but you could try again. the IMEI numbers could be rewrite using ZOPO_IMEI..

Change your IMEIs by using ZOPO IMEI ( Thanks to colouriste )

1. REMOVE SIM CARD(S) FIRST !

2. under menu, click set dataport

2. Check "Dual Imei"

3. Type in original IMEI #'s 1 & 2 inside box New-imei 1 & 2 respectively

4. Click "Write"
[Android General] brotherman38:
I got my IMEI's back, but still no camera. which camera app are you using?
[Android General] usopjidin:
I check using this method..

1. System settings

2. Security

3. Screen Lock

4. Select Face Unlock..

If everything alright, the camera should on...

Good luck..
[Android General] brotherman38:
No didn't work, I guess you're just a lucky one.
[Android General] usopjidin:
Well... sorry to hear that. Maybe you should try reflashing again and reformat.. this just to make sure there is no left over files from previous rom.. It happen to me and I even brick the phone earlier... please do not give up.. get folders in order...

1. Splash tools

2. Latest rom 0713

3. Click download

Like i said earlier, I am using method employed of rooting on the first post...

Good Luck, you will be soon one of those lucky person to get the front face camera...
[Android General] slim_thumb:
Thanks for the quick reply usopjidin.

When I use the newer version of flash tool you recommended, it sort of got stuck at 0% for half an hour. I pressed the "Stop" button and it stopped. The phone booted to the original ROM.

What went wrong?

Thanks.
[Android General] usopjidin:
Try to redo it again.. did you click upgrade firmware? or use download? you should click download.... try again
[Android General] slim_thumb:
Yes I clicked "download".

I tried again and again - nothing. Stuck at "0 byte/ 0 bps EMMC searching 0.00 sec".

I use Windows 7 64 bit. I installed the 64bit driver and my PC recognizes the phone.

I disabled my Zonealarm firewall as well, and it is not the cause of the problem.

Now what?? *scratching head*
[Android General] usopjidin:
Ok sorry to ask you this question.. did you use method as first post to flash... taking out the battery and hold down volum button + power... then connect usb
[Android General] slim_thumb:
Nevermind about using this flash tool. I installed the Taiwan101 v.02 ROM (based on 20120713 firmware) through CWM.

It seems to work well except

1) wifi problem with WPA2 authentication (solution: changed to WPA - less dropouts)

2) flash player does not work with Dolphin browser (solution: use an earlier version 1.11.111.10 for Android 4.0 - the phone can only play up to 480p but OK for the low resolution screen)

I want to hook up a bluetooth keyboard to my X710D (actually I intend to use it as a mini tablet).

The bluetooth recognized and paired with the keyboard (4-digit code typed and accepted). However, nothing came up in the phone when I typed on the keyboard.

I even tried those bluetooth keyboard apps which are supposed to help BT devices, but I think ICS is far better than Froyo or GB in terms of HID compatibility.

I am using the Taiwan101 v.2 ROM which is based on the 20120713 official firmware. Does anyone else have problems with their bluetooth devices?

Help with 3G and Camera please....

OK. I updated to the new 713 firmware from the 709 that I had trying to get my 3G to work. No luck so far and now the front facing camera does not work anymore. I have tried numerous settings for the APN settings, but never get anything but ATT 2G Edge network. I have tried all 5 APN settings. One of my questions is this, I don't have a option for MMS protocol. Most of the settings say to set this to WAP 2.0, I don't have any options for this. Also under APN Type, they say to select default, admin, fota, mms, supl, hipri and a lot of others I don't have. I have only default, supl, mms, and wap. That is all. I have a ATT Titan phone with windows 7.5 and I get HSPA+ 4G, so I know I am in range, but the x710D never finds anything other that 2G edge. I like this phone, but can't stand just 2G. The battery life on this thing is awesome. Also, I have a strange thing with the camera. When I take a pic or video of something with GREY in the color, it seems that the camera turns EVERYTHING into a greyscale looking pic/video. If I move the camera to another spot with no grey color, all the colors in the picture are correct and accurate. What's up with that?? Thanks for any help. I live in Asheville, NC using ATT if that helps.

Yes I found the Taiwan101 v.2 ROM by googling.

I only tested BT keyboard - it pairs without problem but nothing happens when I type (and I tried two different BT keyboards which worked on other Android phones and tablets)

Wifi drops out frequently with WPA2 encryption (error msg says "authentication problem"). I changed the encryption to WPA and had no problem since. The wifi reception is the worse amongst all my Android phones and tablets.

Front and back cameras work fine with the original camera app and 3rd party ones eg. vignette

I had no problem with the external SD card (no problem with card detection, write problem or corruption).

P.S. I spent some time in another X710D thread (I got the tool working but I could not import the deodexed / zipaligned files back to the phone):

The earphone Jack on this phone is too deep. You have to make some revisions with other heaphones. Original Heaphones will work well.

Quick boot enabled won't fully reset phone during power down!

With Quick boot enabled doing a power off will not fully shutdown or reset the Bluetooth, and maybe other components, that's why I had to pull the battery to do a full restart of the phone when things went crazy, If you disable this option the phone power cycles correctly, resetting all components, and clearing running apps. Boot-up time is about the same.
