Okay,

My "white" b92m has the same issues (factory standard), because I didn't apply any patch, because I want to make a "full backup" first, unfortunately I don't know how!

So your b92m behavior is normal (on a normal b92m factory phone)...

I think you have to do only this (first page):

flash it by SP Flash Tool

here is link

CWM RECOVERY + EDITED BOOT ONLY

Thanks,

I maked with SP flash tool the flash only newrecovery.img (inside 2.5 gb-perm.data thath I renamed recovery,img).

After this I maked a backup and now inside sd card there is a folder named clockworkmod with inside 2 folders backup (12,39mb) and blobs (524,90mb).

The bottom about cw mod. working fine.

May be good 2 gb for data applications 500mb for user data... 80mb it's few... if veisen can change for this or explain how we can make this or similar would be great for me.

To root without using the flash mode . use 'Root with restore by Bin4ry' . There are links for this on previous pages.

To install CWM without flash mode , you can copy the recover.img to the sdcard , then use unclemobiletools to flash the recovery. Again , this is is explained earlier in this discussion.

I agree that using the flash tool is hasardous and often lead to bricked phone due to driver installation

hello, applied the mods but still not rooted.

I'm new here, so hello to everybody.

I bought my b92m i've been reading your forum for two days, and tried to understand how it works.

Now my problems.

In order to root the phone i followed the instructions of this tread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2020677

Everything looks fine, but i could not manage in gaining root access, nor for superuser, nor for Cmw (both not present in the phone after the flash of the 2.5gb pack's files). How to solve that issue, did i not understand something, did i do something wrong?

After the installation i noticed that the default camera app, due to the new storage settings, can not save images anymore after 4 pics taken (tells me there's no more available storage space left and suggests me to change the storage preferences, but i could not find the way to do that). The problem is partially solved by using any other camera app that will save pics to sd card by default, but the main camera app problem remains.

Anyway the question is that i can not get root access and then i can not enter recovery mode (i tried by pressing power + volume + o - + home but nothing happens, also with cmw installed from playstore).

I'm actually trying to optimize battery's life, another problem of this phone. In the case I'll had obtained good results i'll try to share them in a little tips guide if usefull.

Anyway Thanks in advance.

And hope to get a whole optimized and already rooted rom soon (is it already available somewhere out there?)

Thanks.

Fea. :)

Hey 100fea: This thread worked great for me to get root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

Then I followed the instructions from Whookid to get CWM working and a new rom partition, then I used CWM to flash the spanish custom rom from here: http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/...om-DRX-B92M-Beta-2-ICS-4-04-Basada-en-DRX-1-7 (google translate helped me get through the process).
[Android General] 100fea:
Thanks for the answer, mate.

How is the spanish rom working? Problems? Does it work with the 1gb ram model?

I think that via the Whookid tread i installed also the tablet ui (is it right?) and maybe i'd like to move back to the old interface.

Anyway, another question.

Whats the link for installing back the original rom?

On the first page i read:

FULL ROM WITHOUT SYSTEM

(not tested use it when you have bricked phone only)

SYSTEM FOR ROM BACKUP

(not tested use it when you have bricked phone only)

CWM BACKUP OF SYSTEM AND CACHE

(restore it by advanced restore)

Which to install to move back to the original rom (i'm a little bit scared of losing my 2days phone)?

And If i root the phone now, after i already did the Whookid process, will the phone have problems?

Again thanks.

Fea. :)

Hello again,

I did manage to find (not a silicone) a Flip front screen cover, just google for "Flip-cover-case-for-china-clone-phone-i9220" or "Flip cover case for b92m" you will find it...

Although what I was looking for it's something in between Rubber protection + Flip front protection, but such no luck :(.

Still looking for a S3 silicone/rubber (due to their elastic properties) that can be adapted to the B92M (with some extra manual holes) lol

[Android General] tinybeetle:
Like many here I used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 to get root. I then went to Google Play and searched for SU - there is a newer one on the Play store. It updated the installed one with no problem.

I installed Root Uninstaller from the Play Store and removed com.cavis.sms. I installed Go SMS Pro and set it as the default SMS and MMS program. So far SMS seems to be working. Running Apps no longer shows com.cavis.sms running. There are a few other random apps running that I may need to remove. Although I might take the plunge and try the Spanish ROM which is supposed to already have those removed.

I'm still trying to figure out the least difficult and dangerous way to install CWM. Then I can try the Spanish ROM.

I have a lot to learn about this phone. My antutu score was 5664.

That is exactly what I have done, editing (with a hex editor) and flashing file EBR1 is necessary to do this.

The EBR file contains extended boot record (Google to find layout of this record)

It contains partition tables:

partition table first entry	original EBR1	2.5GB	2.0 GB
Boot indicator (80h for active; otherwise, 00h)	00	00	00
CHS cylinder-head-sector address: partition start	00 00 00	00 00 00	00 00 00
Partition type code	83	83	83
CHS cylinder-head-sector address: partition end	00 00 00	00 00 00	00 00 00
LBA logical block address: partition start	20 17 21 00	20 17 21 00	20 17 21 00
Partition size (in sectors)	00 00 10 00	00 00 50 00	00 00 40 00

partition table second entry
Boot indicator (80h for active; otherwise, 00h)	00	00	00
CHS cylinder-head-sector address: partition start	00 00 00	00 00 00	00 00 00
Partition type code	83	83	83

Thanks u669983 for the tip.

Yes I did "root" as you said "Root with restore by Bin4ry" (on my white b92m) and no problem :)

Then I did install MobileUncle from Android Market (after copying the recover.img file to the root path on the SDCard).

Run "Recovery Update".

And 100% working...

-Now the only thing missing is the System Partition resize from 512MB to "2.5GB or 2.0GB" for internal Android use ;)

[Android General] tinybeetle:
I've been searching the various forums for drivers and files. Most of them are on shady file-sharing sites that my computer doesn't want to let me access. Sometimes people post them to their DropBox which makes things a bit easier.

I used this file to install the drivers onto my WinXP virtual machine - http://www.tinybeetle.com/mtk6577/MTK6577-USB-VCOM-drivers.7z the file does contain other OS drivers, but I have not tried them.

I used this program (batch-file) to obtain Root once I had the drivers installed - http://www.tinybeetle.com/mtk6577/Root-with-Restore-by-Bin4ry-v18.7z

Here is a copy of a Spanish developed ROM that says it has root built-in and has removed all of the Chinese crap advertising apps - http://www.tinybeetle.com/mtk6577/ModRomDRX_B92M_171.zip

Here is a file called that claims it has CWM and Root. It appears to be designed for the flash tool below - http://www.tinybeetle.com/mtk6577/CWM-ROOT-B92M.zip

And since the flash tool mentioned in this thread seems to be difficult to download from some of the file-sharing services, here it is - http://www.tinybeetle.com/mtk6577/SP-Flash-Tool-v3.1224.01.rar

Hopefully this helps someone else.

Hi

You should download and install the "Android SDK tools" I used version "installer_r21.0.1-windows.exe".

Then start "SDK Manager", select "Extras" - Google USB Driver. Hit "Install" buttom.

Upon downloading it, go to "C:\Documents and Settings\<YOURUSERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\"

Open the file "android_winusb.inf"

Go to "Device Manager" Select the Device (with a yellow mark) should be your phone (missing driver), select "Properties".

Change TAB to "Details" and select "Hardware Ids", activate one of the entries and press Ctrl+C.

Go to the application you used to open the "android_winusb.inf" and locate the following areas:

================================================================

[Google.NTx86]

;MTK6577

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03&MI_01

......

......

......

[Google.NTamd64]

;MTK6577

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03&MI_01

================================================================

PS: the ";MTK6577 were added by me for the B92M as an example (you will not find them in your file).

Press Ctrl+V to past your device ID.

Remember the first entry "%SingleAdbInterface%" should only contain the string till the end of PID.

The second entry "%CompositeAdbInterface%" should contain the same plus the next entry.

You will know the size by looking carefully at the "&" symbol seperating each other...

Save the file.

Point your device installation to the same location "C:\Documents and Settings\<YOURUSERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf".

Enjoy.

I don't think so:(

I also looked for partition tools for usage under Android, I know there are lots of tools for changing partitions under Linux or Windows, but I did not find a suitable tool for Android (yet).

Since I already flashed the ROM with the 2.5 GB version without problems and this are only 512 bytes that should be flashed I did not really bother about the risk.

Talking about the risk of bricking with the flashing tools, I'm wondering if there is a safe method to try if correct drivers are installed.

Maybe first trying to readback and check if the resulting images are correct is a good testing method?

CIFS on B92M?

Does anyone has it working? I tested both Spanish roms on my 1GB version but non of them has a working cifs.ko module. Is anyone working on it or is there already made version that I can load in to the system?

It would be great if I could mount some samba shares on the sdcard... :/
[Android General] fjorger:
Thanks llinde

Hi llinde,

Thanks for replying ;)

I did search the web too, but no luck finding a tool either, I think maybe only by executing linux commands (manually).

Yes the "readback" may help, that's one of my major issues:

I'm unable to do a full rom backup into the sdcard, do you know how to dump it? Using either the PC flash tooll, or by using the CWM?

Let me explain, each time I do a backup (using the CWM recovery mode) I end up with only the following files:

(Size in bytes)

system.ext4.dup - 187 593

recovery.img - 6 291 456

nandroid.md5 - 237

data.ext4.dup - 291 711

cache.ext4.dup - 528

boot.img - 6 291 456

Total backup = 12.4 MB (13,062,981 bytes)

Is this normal? I mean such a small ROM backup? I don't think so, just by looking at the Spanish V.17 rom with almost 200MB (zipped) I don't think I should believe my backup result as being trustworthy. Should I?

Thanks once again,

Does this ROM resolve the GPS problems then? Has anyone tested this? It would be awesome if we could get a decent ROM made up for this phone/CM10 maybe? I really hope this solves the problems as I'm keen to get rooted an ROM'd once my package arrives.

[Android General] naetarf:
Scatter file and names have to fit

The reason that it doesn't work is that the scatter file expects files with certain names in the same directory. E.g. the bootimage file needs to be called bootimage.img. For some files the names have to be in capital letters! The file image_map.xml tells how the name in the directory of the scatter file has to look like. E.g. ebr1 files has to be EBR1.img - in small letters it doesn't work.;)

Hi specialists,

Hoping to improve GPS with programs, which needs root access I run through the proposed procedures with the flush tool

I made CWM and ROM Backup plus 2.5G Data and everything worked fine. The data area is now large. I have a root shell from adb, but I am not able to execute directly programs on the device, which needs root access. Check root says e.g. that the device is not properly rooted. I tried also SuperOneClick and it runs through and tells me the device is rooted but still programs like speed GPS fix doesn't work.

Any idea whats wrong?:confused:
[Android General] yeddo:
No. It comes from the version of SP_Flash_Tool. With 3 version different the only one install the recovery and the root.

You have acces in the recovery? You made a wipe data ?

Great News

Hi there,

This is my implementation :)

Upon removing the small rectangle of black protective ink (Very carefully) and then removing one millimetre of copper (opening the original antenna circuitry) I used a small "black" tape to isolate the rest of the original antenna (leaving a small gap to connect the new antenna).

I download a milimetric PDF page (http://eric.bouchare.pagesperso-orange.fr/phys/pdf/mmpaper.pdfhttp:// taken from this site http://eric.bouchare.pagesperso-orange.fr/index_en.html

Printed one sheet, and made the shape on paper.

Cutted the paper with the drawing and stick it using transparent paper on a Cooper self adhesive tape (easy to find on ebay - I used it on a china Tablet with low WIFI coverage).

Then cutted using a sharp razor and upon removing the protective layer (exposing the glue) I stick it on the phone area.

That's it ;)

Now I can get a fix indoors (on a floor bellow surface "work" area with a very small window at 1m) with 3/4 sat's with a accuracy of 30/40m. Before no sat and no fix :)

Later on (going home) I will test the open road lol

MANY THANKS TO:

danycmoi and orefie...

[Android General] tinybeetle:
Thank you for your great pictures. I have some questions.

What purpose does the black tape serve? Are you removing black ink below the tape?

Are you only exposing a small square to which you then attach the new copper antenna?

Do you make any modifications to the back cover of the phone?
[Android General] fjorger:
Hi tinybeetle,

No problem, they were posted to help others ;)

Well, the black tape servers only as an extra protective layer (because the cooper tape has some hard edges due to a not so perfect cut that could scratch the "black ink protective layer beneath") that's why :D! But you are right I could had make it smaller (no need to cover the whole antenna) only the area around the new cooper antenna, unfortunately I was in hurry trying to see the results lol...

Yes, only exposing a small area plus an extra space where a small cut will be done to disconnect the original antenna (that extra area will also be protected by the same black tape "one piece only" kind off).

Not yet, but I do intent to do some tests with aluminium (kitchen) to see how it goes, for better or for worse.

I will post here more results soon...

Here you can find a picture of an indoor sample test image (done on a basement with only a small window at 1m) not bad (before the modification no signal of SAT whatsoever), in fact these values (accuracy) were only achieved on an open sky.

emmc P5 = 00211740 00100000 "usrdata"

emmc P6 = 00311f40 0041b8c0 "fat"

And I have

503 Mb Internal Memory

31,24 Gb Sd (micro sd 32Gb)

2,5 Gb Phone Memory

Is possible to partition to have more space in Internal memory than Phone memory ?

Like this :

1024 Mb Internal Memory

31,24 Gb Sd (micro sd)

1,5 Gb Phone Memory

If I install some app the internal memory is not enough and do not need to have big sd if the internal memory is too little !!!

I can move the app to the sd by App2sd but is not a good solution.

The best solution could be repartition the phone to increase the Internal memory at least up to 1Gb !

if someone is able to modify that mbr1 would be great!

Thank you for all !

When you change original partition size of first entry from 00 00 10 00 into 00 00 20 00 you will have internal memory of 1GB

Of course you have to decrease the size of the secont entry with the same number (from DF E0 CE FF into DF E0 BE FF) and also the start address in the second entry should be increased with the amount you made the first entry larger, so for 1GB internal memory it should be changed from 20 1F 31 00 to 20 1F 41 00
