Update Links?

Might you please PM me with the links as well?

I just purchased one of these X710Ds (hasn't arrived yet) and been distressed to read about the SD card problem. (Hoping mine may have updated firmware onboard, but I guess we'll see...)

Many thanks in advance

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluido:
Hello, readers.

I am about to receive a MT6577-based phone. My religion prohibits me from using windows :silly: and I am using Linux since good old 1993,

I have done a lot of reading during the past months. I have installed the Android SDK, and thus I have adb up and running and I believe

I won't have problem in rooting the phone (which I must do as first thing). I have found a terminal application. I believe it will be

reasonably easy for me to find myself at home.

The only big gap I still have is on how to proceed about flashing updated/modified roms to the phone. There is a very informative thread

on china-iphone.ru about the specific phone I will get. It is in Russian, but thanks to Babelfish I was able to understand a lot. Most

important, I got hold of the latest official rom for the phone I will receive.

But then, how to proceed with flashing? all tutorials I found describe the windows way of transferring this file's

contents to the phone. Use is made of one of two tools that Mediatek apparently released. This is a no-no for me. I mean: Android is

Linux. I should not have to downgrade to windows to deal with my Linux phone! And then, I simply have no windows whatsoever here.

I see three possible ways for me to proceed:

Find an equivalent software that runs under Linux

Try to run one of Mediatek's softwares under Wine

Obtain from Mediatek, or elsewhere, the precise specs about the USB protocol being used, and implement my tool

Reverse-engineer the protocol

The first item is, I believe, a dead end. I think my search has been exhaustive enough.

The second one is a path I'd rather not tread.

The third one would be a nice project, but I perceive that Mediatek is a bit opaque when it comes to providing technical specifications.

The fourth one would very quickly come to a dead end, I believe, with a bricked device.

Any suggestion on the above, or on other possible ways?

Also: I have come across some very vague mentions about flashing this sort of devices from recovery mode.

From what I have gathered, you put the rom file on a SD card, and then enter recovery mode and let the phone do its own flashing.

This would be ideal for me, but I came across no mention about this mechanism on threads that are specific to this class of phone.

Do MT6577-based phones come with recovery mode? How is it used?

I would be thankful to anyone who could provide details on this aspect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankVM:
So far I have only flashed a custom recovery into my MTK6577 phone and I did it with dd.

The full ROM is exposed on /dev/block/mmcblk0.

Once you have rooted your phone you can use dd along with the info in the scater file (from windows tool) or from Memory/eMMC in the EngineerMode (at least in my phone).

Good Luck

P.S.: In my phone the recovery can be booted into from the phone info in Settings.

Or pressing volume up when turning on the phone and releasing volume up once it vibrates (if not it goes to factory mode that has a bunch of tests in it).

Or using adb reboot revovery
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluido:
Thanks a lot.

Indeed, I had found out about using dd plus the info in the scatter file. At first I completed the task of loading a different recovery image, and that was sufficient at the moment. Later on, I spent another weekend on this: I started working on a Ruby script that, by interfacing with the phone via ADB, would dump and upload any partition, and possibly do the reverse, too. The upload part sort-of worked, and I was able to get hold of the current booting partition. What I wanted to do was to modify the boot script to let me run at boot a script resident on one of the sdcards.

I got to the point of unpacking the data in the gzipped/cpio-ed root fs archive, and certainly I would not have had problems modifying the script. But I was blocked when I tried to find the data about the format of ROOTFS. I mean: I could find the start of the compressed material, but I could not find exact reference about those few bytes that preceed it. Must those bytes change if the actual content changes?

I only have one phone, and I certainly do not want to brick it (or have to pour half-days of work into blind-man debugging mode...)

The block is 512 bytes long, filled with 0xff's except for (in my case)

00000000 88 16 88 58 │ 9F 94 08 00 │ 52 4F 4F 54 │ 46 53 00 00 │ 00 00 00 00 . X ..ROOTFS......

00000014 00 00 00 00 │ 00 00 00 00 │ 00 00 00 00 │ 00 00 00 00 │ 00 00 00 00 ....................

and it seems quite clear that the only data that may change are the first 8 bytes - presumably 4 shorts, which in my case would have the values:

5768

22664

38047

8

When I find out what these numbers are, and when I have another free weekend, I may go on in my exploring path.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankVM:
I looked into modifying boot/recovery images a few weeks back but haven’t gotten around to fiddling with mine.

The initial data is the uboot header, if I remember correctly. It does need to change.

There is a tool out there in perl that does all the required to unpack and repack the boot images for MTK65xx phones.

Here is forum page with the tool info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587411

Hi guys,

Just posting to say that yesterday I flashed the ICS from the USA on my P7310XWKJ5 (Europe).

All I needed to do was follow this great instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1582943

The file to flash, by Odin, is this one:

http://www.hotfile.com/dl/169458139/5cca4ab/P7310UELPB_P7310XARLPB_XAR.zip.html

Guys... there is no need to worry. This is an official update from Sammy so if you have the Honeycomb stock there will be no problem at all.

I believe that Europe didn't receive the update only to avoid everyone in the world updating at the same time.

ICS with Touchwiz is simply great. The tablet is now much smoother and faster. ICS is much better then HC.

The only thing that you will lose in the update is the config of your 5 homes. Besides that, all your apps will be ok and your saved data.

Don't wait anymore... flashing Odin style and enjoy the best Samsung as to offer.

At least I did... :)

Cheers! Coragem com isso!

P.S: make sure you have the samsung drivers on your pc... to test it just install Kies and connect your tablet. If Kies recognizes your tablet then you are good to go.

BTW: no need to thank... I didn't do anything... I just pressed my balls against one another (crossed my fingers) and did the update. Thanks for your help almaalma74. :)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] drpelpi:
Has anyone else tried this method? I am tired of waiting here in Spain for the ICS update, and with Sammy's background there is a low probability of receiving it in the short-term. Which are the implications of install the USA version? Will I be able to use OTA for update the tablet in the future? Its better to install via CWM? I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
LOL, just gave you a free "thanks" - clicked wrong button.

Anyway, lots of people have done that - well, at least the update using the USA ICS, of course they were coming from a variety of ROM (not only that xwkj5)

Anyway, there's no reason it shouldn't work. A few people (strangely, mostly from Switzerland) had an issue, that the ICS failed to work properly (garbled screen) and found they had to Odin-flash a specific HC 3.2 version, and only then it worked. But that's a minority, and the solution is simple.

future OTA - if you load this ROM, you will get future OTA distributed to the "USA" market. (until you flash another region's ROM)

What to install... if you want to make sure to have the original ICS experience from Samsung (with nothing removed or added), I would recommend to use the stock file for Odin. If you want, you can follow that up with an Odin-flashable recovery & a root.zip flashed from recovery.

see e.g.

for download Odin-flashable recovery (I still prefer the slightly older 5.1.2.6 - for a more complete and logical menu than 5.5.0.4; and more reliable than 6.x)

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] smacdo11:
I updated my UK GT-P3710 with US Stock ICS via ODIN. Initially smooth and good update. I have had 3 freezes while updating Titanium Backup Pro around 100+ apps. I ended up restoring apps individually with no freezes. I also noticed some brief pauses while playing Airline Control which I have noticed in the past with ICS Custom roms.

I flashed CMW5.5.04 and then used original root from recovery to gain root. No problems. Camera is working great.

I am now trying to flash A1 kernel ver 1.7 wifi to see if I can overclock. FAIL so I restored original boot.img. Overclock might have to wait.

I am liking ICS so much I might get a Galaxy S3 now with rumours of JB update coming.

I just flashed it using ODIN on my 7300... it works without any problem (but without 3G of course).

Just for info: Flashing using ODIN replaces the recovery as well.... so afterwards you will have to re-flash (again using ODIN) a custom recovery in order to continue playing... :p

Screen goes on the fritz when data/charger cable connected

I updated yesterday and everything works very smooth except when I want to connect my data/charger cable. On connection it is OK, however when booted and I disconect, the screen becomes totally distorted and only shows a black screen and colored lines moving from side to side. Also when the Tab is off and I am charging, I get the battery screen without a problem. But when the screen goes off and I press a button to check charging status. Only black and green lines. Then I disconnect the cable, wait for the screen to go out, and when I connect normal battery again. That is until screen goes black and I press power button shortly to check battery status.

Anyone else had these symptoms? And maybe a solution?

The Tab works fine with everything else, data is still there after update only homescreens are wiped. You need to put back your apps on the homescreen, but I knew that and worked with screenshots to restore.
