@vel_tins

you are most welcome mate... :cool:

As said before, mostly great DEV are bad technical writer...

So my tuts is sort of like an O&M manual (Operation & Maintenance) so that fellow xda member here can start using these tools rather than figuring out the 3W & how-tos.. :D

On the repack script, Master Shifu bgcngm did mention on cygwin, you need to downgrade it to perl to v5.10.1 for it to work... :cool:

The latest version can work with both Cygwin with Perl v5.10.1 or v5.14.2 ... :good: Actually, the unpack/ repack boot/ recovery.img is the same except for the latest version can unpack logo.bin/ logo.img with more than 9 packed rgb565, i think... :o

@angelobiz

i think its the 7zip problem as its for x86 only...

So if you're using x64, download 7zip x64 & copy 7z.exe to MT65xx folder to replace the x86 version & it'll work... :good:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
That is correct, this one was the first fix and this was the second. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] angelobiz:

./7z permission denied

i go to looking for a solution in internet ... but if you know it.. :P

Angelo

edit:

If you wanna thanks, put a thanks here.... :laugh:

i only KANG Master Shifu BM's script so that fellow xda member that uses MT6575/ 77 can also port his compiled CWMR 6012 to their device... :laugh:

@ckethan

Bro, angelobiz just shared the info here & you ask again...

He clearly stated root via stock 3e recovery... :o

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
i had 7-zip 9.20 installed all the time, never knew this problem exist as i get no feedback at all, only until recently...

If you guys don't have 7-zip 9.20 installed then you'll need 7z.dll & 7z.exe at Android Kitchen -> tools\MT65xx

Both files must come from the same version or just use the one attach here by vel_tins or angelobiz... :good:

Haha, may be you guys wanna try my new mod to root the unrootable MT6577 via TWRP V2.3.2.3 here... :fingers-crossed:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] liquidini:
i installed twrp v 2.3.2.3 but cant see how it will help to root? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
Can't you see my :fingers-crossed: finger is cross :fingers-crossed:

Both CWMR & TWRP are recovery build for android & only last month, Russian Master Shifu Javum found a way to successfully compile it to work on MT6575/ 77 SoC....

When i started this thread, it was inspired by the fact that most branded Androids uses cwmr to gain root access & it worked for them; And also on most MT6575/ 77 SoC but not all such as your H2000+ & i still can't figure out why it doesn't work...

AFAIK, when you use cwmr to flash any root.zip, it uses the updater-script to mount system partition & extract Superuser.apk to /system/app & su binary to /system/xbin while some to /system/bin, symlink it & set execute permission...

Ok, let me just summarize what we have done so far on MTK SoC to gain root access... :D

Flashing compatible root.zip via ported cwmr

Use rooting software such as zopo zp100 4.0ROOT by008, Root MANY ANDROID! , unlockroot & many many more. Credits to the original DEV of these excellent rooting software

Using rooting software while at cwmr with adb shell & mount system. Credits to Andyle2k, he confirmed working on his H2000+ build 120920

Flash Unsecured Boot.img via SPFT & use rooting software. Credits to Master Shifu bgcngm, dsixda, linerty & jbctiong

Root via Factory Mode using any rooting software or MTK Droid Root & Tools. Credits to jman0, he confirmed working on his Alcatel OT-997D. Credits to Russian Master Shifu rua1 for his excellent MTK Droid Root & Tools and Neverhood who discover it can be done on Factory Mode & Master Shifu bgcngm for letting us know that the latest version is here

Flashing CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus_madnorb.zip via Stock 3e recovery (for MT6577 only) Credits to angelobiz, never know such tool exists !

UNCONFIRMED All the above combinations via TWRP :confused:

So i was kinda hoping for your feedback... :fingers-crossed:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] liquidini:
Thanks Yuweng for the list.

I will try them all again soon enough. :)

Update to 0.218 Kitchen

Hi Guys,

I know this is not the correct place but I cannot post in the relevant section :( & you may be thinking if this numpy cant update his kitchen then how on earth will he cook a ROM which is probably true but I still want to give it a shot.

I have the old v0.201 kitchen & I have never had any real success with it but it now seems things have moved on a good bit :) Could someone please write a quick Tut on how to update my Kitchen correctly.

Things I have tried.

I have run update through the kitchen and extracted the folder it downloaded but then what i do?

I run the install.exe & I get a desktop icon but when i click it i get a message "windows searching for mintty"

I am on Windows 7 pro x86

Devices to play & experiment with.

HDC GT-9300 (E930) MT6575

HDC GT-i9100 (A102) MT6573

I hope you dont ball me out too much for posting here but it seems this is where all the MT65xx guru's hang out. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
There's no tutorial for that and you don't really need it... Just download the latest version, delete the actual one and extract the new .zip. Simple as that!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
The correct kitchen hang out thread is this one here my friend...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
Thanks bgcngm I did as you said & all now seems to be OK :good: I also followed the pic tut on the main kitchen page and got the v0.218 from the github this is not clear in the tut & this separate file contains the folders original_update. scripts, tools, a menu file & readme

Many Thanks for the help I will now get reading the MT65xx threads :eek:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
Thanks yuweng. I did try post there first but for some reason I cannot post there :confused: the system says I do not have permission.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
You are most welcome, my friend... :D

To post at Development, you must have 10 post & above... :laugh:

Great info from u but sadly my Eastcom One X is sent for warranty already. I think it is bricked, since even charged or connect to PC, nothing happened!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
Aijoh, my friend, what happened ?

Since we are from the same continent on this planet, we could have meet up & hopefully we'll be able to 'unbrick' it together... :fingers-crossed:

Like that means you'll have to see whether the supplier is able to 'unbrick' it for you or they might just sent you a new unit...

Just like a fellow xda member got a brand new phone but in actual fact, he brick it himself... :laugh:

Since i remove my signature, i'll just post a link here that discuss how to unbrick your MT65xx...

Does anyone here has a clue where I can get the GooApple V5+ (MTK6575) ROM, Firmware and stuff?

Cause I'm trying to root my phone but I have no clue where to start at..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgcngm:
The Russian forum (http://forum.china-iphone.ru) is a good place to start with. ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bOyka8:
yuweng has already suggested me that website but it's hard to find something about the GooApple V5+ as there is a plus in the name. So when I search something about the GooApple I mainly get info about the GooPhone Y5, GooApple V5, GooApple V5 3G and GooApple V6 (= V5+?).

But yeah the site looks very informative but I just can't find the things for mine. It's also hard to find anything on Google itself about it as I think it's a rather new phone.

Hahaha @yuweng, the Filipino forum has that verification question for users less than 10 posts, just like XDA. But I see your point :)

Thank you very much @rastishka and @yuweng for your help. I had a suspicion that I needed to do some testpoint magic to be able to read back the phone's recovery. :) I'm glad that @rastishka used the image I posted to clearly mark the testpoints to be connected. Your custom recovery has been independently tested by other countrymen and they are extremely grateful for the opportunity to rid ourselves of bloatware and make the phone more memory efficient. Again thank you and advanced Merry Christmas :)

Thank you very much. I apologize, I am a new member with no experience on such issues. As a matter of fact I have already tried a few methods but without success. Among those are: SP flash tool, Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18, Unlock Root v3, I have not tried your method because I am afraid if I would be able to handle it correctly, I do not want to brick the phone. Any suggestion would be welcomed.

HDC / STAR / UPAI N7100+ or S7100+ now with CWM

Hi Yuweng,

Just thought to let you know that your instructions worked great for dumping the orginal recovery.ing. I would recommend updating the section where we copy the plugin and tools for rebuilding the recovery.img. I set up the kitchen following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246 . Your tools and plugin can just be copied into the kitchen folders aka /scripts/plugins and tools.

That was the only bit that tripped me as i was not sure where the MT65xx folder was supposed to go.

made a nandroid and on to the next step which is root. but now that CWM is on there the phone is pretty much idiot safe

So great tutorial even if it all looks scary!

As you say ALWAYS CREATE YOUR OWN SCATTER FILE AND YOUR OWN RECOVERY.... don't do a shortcut unless you like bricks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:

To access MT65xx-Plugin, go to ADVANCED OPTIONS -> Miscellaneous options / Plugin scripts

I would ask your help about two issues:

1. How can I copy plugins folder into plugins.ori? Changing the name means that contents of plugins folder is in the plugins.ori folder. What I am miising?

2. Trying to access MT65xx-plugin I can enter to advanced option but there is no way to open plugin script. It remains to the menu when prresin plugins script command.
