Battery - charger observations:

I finally came around to get a relatively cheap Samsung 1000mah charger.

This one charges the phone without overheating it like the cheap one I got previously.

From empty, it charges in approximately 3 hours. I haven't really timed it but it should be close to that number.

Hi

I hope someone can help..

I have a Star B92M I tried to root the device using the guide by whoo-kid without success, SOC error. Upon investigation I’ve found that I have 3.4.0 Kernel (2013), and JellyBean already installed on my phone. I have also tried B1nary’s Root many android with no joy.

Is there a guide to root the 2013 star b92m so I can use a custom rom like the AZK one and have 2.5gb phone storage.

I have tried to search for the answers on google and on here but nothing for the 2013 version.

If you can help me solve this I will be your best friend haha

Also GPS does work on this phone out of the box, but how can you use google maps without wi-fi?
[Android General] andry77:
Unfortunately there isn't a functioning guide to root this phone (B92M NEW 2013).

I would not recommend to insist for the moment because the risk of knock bluetooth and wifi.

The ROM AZK in our phone (2013 model) is worth it!

Also I have a 2013 model and I had very large problems.

Now I solved after installing about 40 ROM's!

If you want to do the root I have the solution but you lose your stock rom and do not take any responsibility!
[Android General] hknmurthy:

B92M New 2013: HOW TO ROOT AND IMPROVE GPS!

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!​

WARNING! THIS GUIDE IS ONLY FOR MOBILE PHONE B92M NEW 2013!!

WARNING! ALWAYS GOOD TO THINK WHAT YOU'RE DOING!

Instructions for root (only for Star B92M New 2013)!

Download file to this link:

DOWNLOAD

1 - Copy the file !B92M_CWM_6628.zip into cell SD;

2 - PowerOff the phone and start flashtools (using flashtools version from !SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1248.0.96 directory)

with Firmware-->Upgrade using files in the directory !ROM - File per FlashTools - Recovery TW;

This operation will take several minutes: yellow bar moves slowly!

5 - After flash is finished, disconnect the USB cable and remove the battery for a few seconds.

Insert the battery and turn on the phone.

At this time cell doesn't work but WIFI and BT are ok! Don't panic: IT'S OK!!.

You see a Jaivu ROM with one mushroom and butterflies;

6 - Press On/off key and Reboot system in recovery;

7 - TeamWin recovery start: press "wipe" and after press "Cache". When WIPE finished, press back and return in

the main recovery menu;

8 - Press "Install" and select !B92M_CWM_6628.zip file that you had copied before (point 1) to the SD card;

9 - Repeat the point 7 (wipe cache);

10 - Reboot --> System.

Now system is rooted and WIFI-BT-GPS-Teethering are OK!

There are some BUG but are acceptable because now the phone is really working, and the GPS works even without additional antennas.

After installing this ROM the phone only sees 512 MB RAM

We thank all Dans82, I've only tested this procedure dozens of times before it worked!

GPS: Simple guide to improve it!

From Play Store download "FasterGPS" and "Mobile Uncle MTK Tools".

1 - Go to System settings --> Location access

2 - GPS satellities: POWER ON!

3 - Select "access to my location" and "Wi-Fi & mobile network location"

4 - TAP "GPS satellities"

5 - Select "GPS EPO assistance"

6 - TAP "EPO settings" and tap Download: wait for the download to complete

7 - Select "A-GPS settings"

8 - Start FasterGPS app and select your Continent and Region (exit from FasterGPS)

9 - Run MobileUncle Tools --> Tap Engineer Mode --> Engineer Mode (MTK)

10 - Go to Location

11 - Location Based Service and select Enable A-GPS (wait 60 seconds)

12 - EPO --> Enable EPO

13 - Tap - YGPS: now you can see SATELLITIES!

14 - Exit from MobileUncle Tools

...Have a nice trip!

If you are happy, CLICK THANKS button!;)

[Android General] hknmurthy:
I have few question before doing the flash

1 - Copy the file !B92M_CWM_6628.zip into cell SD;

Do i need to unzip and copy on to External SD card ?

6 - Press On/off key and Reboot system in recovery;

Do u mean press multiple times on and OFF Key ?

7 - TeamWin recovery start: press "wipe" and after press "Cache". When WIPE finished, press back and return in

the main recovery menu;

When does this screen appears ?

Regards
[Android General] andry77:
1 - NOOO!! Copy the file into SD card without UNZIP! Don't touch this file! The file must remain. Zip!

6 - Press the on / off button for one second when cell is ON, until a menu appears that POWEROFF - REBOOT - RECOVERY.

Tap RECOVERY

7 - if the recovery TW is installed properly, you have to see this screen!

[Android General] hknmurthy:

My phone displays 1Gb ram.

Main issue is the home button after you lock the phone

Do u have any idea how to restore back to factory set because Bluetooth does not my headset which earlier it used to recognise before flashing
[Android General] dans82:
To correct this, it is necessary:

1. We get ROOT.

2. With the RootExplorer go in the folder to open the file / system / usr / keylayout /.

3. In RootExplorer we press the button (Rights of R / W) - pluchaetsya editing.

4. Open the file for editing mtk-kpd.kl and do this:

Was:

103 key DPAD_UP

key 102 HOME

105 key DPAD_LEFT

106 key DPAD_RIGHT

After:

103 key DPAD_UP

key 102 HOME WAKE

105 key DPAD_LEFT

106 key DPAD_RIGHT

That is, we add the word WAKE

5. Save the file menu RootExplorer (once an automatic file backup, file appears mtk-kpd.kl. Bak). If something goes wrong, you can substitute back by renaming the file.

7. Turn off the phone. Remove the battery and insert it back.

8. Done. Phone does not wake up now by clicking Home.
[Android General] andry77:
If your phone is 2013 version, In this moment there is no stock rom to do the restore.

Hi there,

I was just wondering how you increased the usrdata to 2.5GB? I have an MT6575 P7100 Note II clone, and I have extracted the full ROM using the flash tool.

I have also already resized the usrdata.img file to 2.5GB and when i try and download the larger usrdata.img it gives me an error error 8038 pmt is ready layout has changed....etc

Rather than select all the bin,img files etc and do a firmware upgrade is there any other way around that?

I also have a problem with the recovery... When i hold power up it gives me a menu 1. Recovery, 2. Fastboot, 3. Normal. If I select recovery it just fails and reboots the phone normally. 2 goes into fastboot mode and 3. boots the phone normally.

I suspect that the recovery.img i am using isn't correct but all i have done is downloaded the recovery.img from my phone and modified it to include TWRP. Is there anything else you can recommend that i need to do to get it working?

Thanks in advance for your help with this!

Hi. What is the best rom for b92m?
[Android General] maregeoxda:
GPS - antenna

Hi all,

I have the b92m 1G 2012 phone. I had the same issues with the weak GPS signal.

So after rooting, applying various ROMs, enabling AGPS/EPO , gps.conf and adding the orefie antenna (by scratching, cutting & isolating), I managed to have stronger signal (20 to 35 strength) and fast locking time. Nevertheless the contact was provided by isolating tape, so I decided to make some soldering to establish a better contact. That was the end. No more signal.

I have already gone again through all ROMs (from stock, to Orefie, to AZK, to IWT) and nothing.

I even opened the screws and soldered a wire extension to the upper (of the two contacts) to no help. Still no signal.

So there goes some questions:

a) Do you think that the GPS part of the MT6620 chip has been damaged? (The rest BT, Wifi and radio still function correctly). Is there any way through software to check if the GPS module is damaged? (when I enable it in settings it goes on - but this is not conclusive)

b) Does anybody know what is exactly on the PCB under the antenna connectors and how it should be soldered? The connectors as shown at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952991&page=26 (Ogliz photos) are now removed. After so many tries they get detached.

c) [MENTION=5057877]spiridonas[/MENTION]: Did you manage to make it work?

d) Is there any other place on the PCB where from I can make a physical extension of the GPS antenna?

Thanks in advance for your inputs

Help, pretty please!

I received my Star B92M today, I am having the exact same issue using SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01. I also tried SP Flash Tool v3.1238.5.sn58 but it gives me the same result. I also tried the method described @ http://gleescape.com/posts/1466 It seemed to work @ 1st, but after rebooting there was no Supersu.

I am trying to do this through an old windows XP pc, cuz on win 7 x64 the mtk65xx preload thing only keeps connected for 3 seconds, only to disconnect, reconnect, disconnect, etc. without the drivers ever getting installed or it working. The phone connects fine if switched on. On XP, both work fine.

Anyone have an idea, pretty please? I was looking through many cheap Chinese phones, and chose this one specifically cuz it is rootable and there are custom roms available for it here on XDA. If I can't root it or put a custom rom on it it's pretty much useless to me, I could've gotten other cheap ones then.

EDIT: I have found a solution here.

I used the flashing util listed here under "IF FLASHTOOL GIVE ERROR 4xxx or 3xxx or SOC verification failed

Try to use THIS version of flashtool"

I hope this'll help someone else, too. I got root now and 1GB RAM, all is fine. Haven't figured out yet how to get 2.5GB DATA on my 2013 model yet. I tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2100899 but my wifi quit working using that, and the suggested fix doesn't work 4 me. For now I'm pretty happy it has been rooted and sees the full 1GB, though ^^.

Can I install a rom by using CWM? (Install from zip)?
[Android General] elazu1:
Ok so far i have found there are 3 different processors for B92M which each one requires different roms. For the B92M mtk6577 (2012 version), you can use almost all the post and roms you will find using and you can use the SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01.

For the B92M (2013 version), they use mtk 6620 and mtk6628, on which you should use the SP Flash Tool v3.1238.5.sn58 and use the specific roms for this versions.

What i did (on my B92M mtk 6620) after flashing wrong, having a broken recovery with no root, was to flash it using this whole guide (thanks to andry77)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40389770&postcount=1056

After it, my wifi and bt didnt work but i got the TWP recovery, on which i flashed dans82 rom (thanks to dans82) on his post

http://www.dans82.ru/forum/6-15-181#5608

Its in russian :confused: but just follow and translate your model :p (numbers are the same, mt6620 or mt6628), read the instructions, almost all of them only requires to be flashed by TWP and youl will have your B92M fully working.

I would like to ask how do i apply this patch?

Is it on the SP-Flash tool or on recovery and which processor is it for? 6620 or 6628? Will it work for any ROM for 2012 models (like 4.1.2 no cholesterol)?

Also, is there any ROM for 2013 with wifi, bt working and with the 2,5gb rom patch for the 2013 versions (6620 specific :D)?

Thanks in advance for the answer.
[Android General] andry77:
I have a STOCK ROM for 2013 version.

At the stock, I have added a TWRP recovery and file for 2,5 gb.
