NICE

Wow, thanks for putting the time into making a comprehensible thread. Cant wait to get some free time to root my n8000. How's the battery life in the ROM and are there any bugs? will report back if i run into any issues.
[Android General] sas007:
Hello

what is the point of having two threads for the same device.?

why did you not just post this there in the correct place?

surly it is much better to have one place to go to for all the answers and to ask, the N8000 thread has developed as the device has

you will just be adding to others confusion

good luck.
[Android General] tysydenham:
If you visit any of the other threads Of different phones they actually contain multiple threads which keep things uncluttered, so that people can find what they need that was my goal with this thread. They don't just contain one huge single thread.
[Android General] dpedalv:
thanks for your work!one question: your rom is good with battery? is it ondemand or performance dispatcher?

Incompatible apps

Thanks for the guide I've now got the 4.0.6 Rom on my phone. one problem, the play store says a lot of apps aren't compatible with my phone. I'm assuming this is because its a 4.0.6 Rom is there anyway to make the play store think you have 4.0.4 so it will let you download them or any other way to download these supposedly incompatible apps?
[Android General] pjrollo2000:
there is no android 4.0.6 this rom is based on android 4.0.3
[Android General] lewisqpr:
Okay I've now tried a 4.0.4 Rom and its still saying loads of apps are not compatible when downloading from google play? These apps worked fine when I was on the stock 4.0.3 Rom.
[Android General] pjrollo2000:
sendspace.com/file/uj3jqx was 4.0.6 is a moded version of android 4.0.3 the build.prop file has been edited 4.0.6 there is a build.prop file somewhere that lets google play compatible with all apps.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

I have tried all of the moded roms from the Russian and Chinese sites where all these roms come from if the dpi is set to anything over than 240 google play most apps are not compatible check your build.prop file /system there will be something like this ro.sf.lcd_density=190 delete it then try google play again if you want a different dpi you need a moded google play apk
[Android General] lewisqpr:
I changed the lcd density, the model and product name in the build.prop file and now its letting me download all the apps. Thanks for your help.

Those are for jbl1

Can u made it for jbl2 ?
[Android General] nm_guy:
This is really important to note. Newer phones have JBL2, and the JBL1 stuff at worst soft-bricks them and at best takes away auto-focus from the camera (still working on this, but seems permanent for now).
[Android General] xpresotw:
waiting :D
[Android General] inamie:
Actually the rom was created by alexey arsenev, will work on jbl2 but need to flash with jbl2 boot image.. But autofocus will not function..

[Android General] niman1:
google now

I've watched the "noob" video for posting - but not really sure if this is the right place to post. Please don't shout at me :(

I've watched a few videos about getting "google now" working on ICS - but I have little Android experiece and do not want to break the phone. Has anybody done it successfully on this ? can u point me at a failsafe utube video (or something else) to get this done without my loss of £120GBP ? Thx...
[Android General] nm_guy:
Yes -- it works! I've done it.

I'm sorry that you're not going to find one step-by-step guide for this phone, but all the info is here.

This is a very hard phone to "break" in a permanent sense, but I'd read as much as you could stand before you began to avoid headaches that others have had before you. Between the two threads here, there are 150 or so pages of info. Especially important things to note: Make sure you have the right phone (not quite as easy it sounds) and make sure you note all the current details of your software before you get under the hood.

In order to use Google Now, you'll first need to root your phone and install a custom recovery (if those don't make sense, use the Google to search for an overview).

For our phone, I'd start with the first page of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1695210

So, the question becomes: Do you have root and a custom recovery?

FWIW, Google Now is interesting but has yet to seem revolutionary to me. Seems like something that will be amazing three or four generations from now.

[Android General] nm_guy:
Really excellent tip. I'll note though, if your autofocus is already working (I got there through a very roundabout method), it seems you can do this and keep your working autofocus.

Again, big thanks for the suggestion--it worked.
[Android General] bjustin:
Great post -wish i saw this b4 trying to root my phone -i would have known to uncheck uboot, etc. For a good while i thought i bricked my phone but i found how to get my display back on but i have those crazy colors.

I know u don't want questions here but i don't think i can get it answered on the other thread. I think alot of ppl would very much appreciate the answer to this question.

What should you do if you did flash your phone without unchecking UBOOT & NVRAM & now u have those crazy colors?

Please give us a solution if you have one. THANK YOU!

[Android General] Guugle:
Hey guys,

can any of you say something about the GPS and its accuracy? Is it useful for navigation in the car?

I've only had two China Phones. A MTK6575 (Thl V9) and MTK6577 (Star B92M), the Thl V9 had good GPS accuracy (8m at cloudy and rainy days, sometimes better).

The GPS of the MTK6577 device was cruel... Never had under 25m accuracy! I do not know what it was (it found enough satellites): the manufacturer or the MTK657x processor?

How is the GPS accuracy this time?

I hope you can help me and sorry for my bad english...:fingers-crossed:

[Android General] jpalpano:
Custom ROM 4.0.6 screwed up my JBL1

I will not recommend flashing the custom ROM 4.0.6 or even the Aug 7 JBL2 version.

It screws up your phone if your phone did not come with jbl2 as stock.

It works great at first but then soon you will encounter sudden reboots and it gets annoying.

Too bad since I liked how the camera improves quality and the panorama option just like in June 12 version.

At first I thought I may screwed up some hardware already since it is not able to handle most processes anymore and becomes really hot, forcing it to reboot. But then I flashed back to 0705 version and the random reboot stops.

I wish I can find a way to take the camera of Aug 7 version and use it with July 5 version.

Also the advanced power key menu. But stay on July 5 version and firmware.

To those with screen issues even after using the SP-MDT tool, it only means that the uboot.bin you are using does not have the drivers for your screen. I attached the most complete uboot.bin I found so far.

It contains the following drivers.

RX_329A

RX_50NT_323A

RX_50NT_392A

KD50M4_51NB_A4

RX_50NT_408A

Most newer versions comes with the last one so try that.

You must replace the uboot.bin of the ROM folder you use, then set the drivers using SP-MDT Tool.

Once set, close SP-MDT tool then flash with SP-Flashtool. Uncheck everything except uboot.

If you want, you can also flash the logo.bin (included in zipped file) which changes the first robot image into a space image with samsung logo.

View attachment ubootANDlogo.zip

Please use the THANKS button.
[Android General] johnnylobo:
Great guide. Hope it applies to my device.

Does the same advice and proceedure also apply to the Star N7000 GPS , given that they have the same processor? Or are they completely different?
[Android General] BlackBeardN8000:
How is this done from the CWM recovery?

:confused:

I shall answer my own question for the benefit of others!

What you do is MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP

Then install the zip from CWM recovery and let it finish - do not reboot

Then select Restore / Advanced restore - select your backup image then restore your boot image.

wait until complete and the reboot!

Done - a jbl1 image with your jbl2 boot!

Hello. I used SP Tools, and I used the stock rom provided here for the MTK 6575. The problem is, after using the SP tools, my phone does not want to function anymore. The backlight is on, but the screen and the other functions are all down. I tried to use SP tools for other similar ROMS here, but it is all the same. Can you please teach me what I should do next? I badly need help. Thanks...
[Android General] Neo Cortex:
I've tried to go into recovery using the method which you give above. ie. 'Press power while holding the up or + volume, release power continue to hold the volume and you'll eventually go into recovery menu.'

It does not work in spite of trying about 5 different recovery images from the main Star thread. With 2 images the startup logo keeps flashing. With another it doesn't flash but just stays on screen. Two wouldn't install. I have tried holding the volume button in for about 5 minutes with each image. Any idea why it's not working?

ROM for MTK6575 GB 2.3.6 without EMMC

I have Clone Samsung S4 GT-I9500 with single Sim. The transparent film on the screen says that it is with quad core. But when I am connecting it to MTKTools then it is saying that the motherboard is MT6575 and I think Quad-core processors are in MT6577 7 MT6589. The Android version in about show 4.2.2 but actually it is 2.3.6. It also shows that the Internal Memory is 16GB but doesn't allow me to use it. After too many trials and test I found that it is not equipped with EMMC but it has YAFF2 type motherboard which doesn't have additional internal storage. I am attaching the scatter file for reference.

Now what I want to know is wether the firmware on this site is applicable to my mobile. If not then can anyone give me link from where I can download the same. I would also like to know wether the memory can be increased but flashing the custom rom.

[Android General] Murdock0815:
Hey!

Thank you so much for your pretty comprehensive guide.

However, I got a serious problem:

Got a mobile which I am not entirely sure of whether it is a Star N800 or somethign else. The strange thing is, it was solt as a I9500 clone, but it has the Mtk6575, NOT the 6589.

Actually, it most likely is this one:

alibaba.com/product-gs/925200306/2013_New_1_1_china_star. html

However, it definately is NOT an HDC Spark, which I first thought it might be, since MtkDroidTools tells me it has the Mtk6575 processor. Therefore, I suspect it to be a newer version of the N8000.

However, is it possible to flash one of the custom roms on it? Don't wanna brick it.

IF I flash one of those and give it a shot, can I unbrick it again, by reflashing a backup I made with MtkDroid Tools? If so, how?

Or can you tell me which phone this really is? :)

It's not mine, a friend gave it to me since it is pretty useless in its actual state of being: Fake Android 4, half the settings missing, etc ... That's why I wanted to mess around with it. But this is a toughy ... :)

Any help is highly appreciated.

I've tried the tapping 4 corners thing (which I've done before with GB) without success.

I see plenty of others who haven't seemed to have any trouble with it; do I need to be on a particular screen or something?

ok now that it is in the right section i'll try to help you out,... have you tried resetting the phone by pressing vol down+power for 10 sec?
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
Yep also tried usb mount in recovery didnt work

and if i do fastboot command like to install recovery then hboot just hangs and doesn't respond until i inplug the cable..!
[HTC One X] matt95:
have you done something in particular before this happened?
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
I really have no idea! :|
[HTC One X] matt95:
you said you have run optimization right?

can you wake your phone and navigate into it?
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
yes i can open files like music and stuff on it..

adb shell

in recovery

have you installed htc drivers on your computer? and android SDK?
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
Just installed htc sync manager again
[HTC One X] matt95:
have you enabled the commands adb and fastboot on your computer? if yes then now it should work
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
how do you mean enable?
[HTC One X] matt95:
well, it is pretty tricky, i'll semplificate the passages...download this file and place where you want, then navigate to that folder and type

adb

and see if that works
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
I tried adb devices but doesn't show any devices Phone is booted at homescreen nothing else
[HTC One X] matt95:
go to control panel>device manager> tell me how it recognizes your phone

you can't see the phone even in the control panel>device manager?? :eek:

nope dont see it anyware :S where is it under at yours?
[HTC One X] matt95:
:rolleyes: that's really weird... my phone is recognized under control panel as My Htc... and so should your... try to connect the phone in fastboot and type

fastboot devices

(remember to navigate to the folder downloaded before hitting the command)
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
Nothing :(

fastboot erase cache also nothing just hangs on waiting for device

(just ADB command doesn't work not recognized)
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Plug it into a different USB port.

Edit: just checked the rest of this thread, thought it was something else. Sometimes USB drivers seem to get "stuck" on Windows, I've had luck removing the devices and root hubs from device manager and letting it all reinstall with PnP. The "by connection" view is best for this, you can start at the leaves and work up the tree. Best to leave the mouse and/or keyboard alone :p
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
can't be e issue tried on other laptops too mate
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Then I can only assume you're systematically doing it wrong, or your phone is broken.
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
I cant imagine mate im on XDA since desire hd, sensation and now one x im here for years it Always worked :'(

I cant get it to repair center like this! cant even atleast relock bootloader in this situation!
[HTC One X] Vcek:
boot into the bootloader first(without connecting to pc) and choose fastboot(on your phone) then try connecting the usb, then type

fastboot erase cache

tell me if that works
[HTC One X] BenPope:
In developer options, enable USB debugging.

In power menu, disable fast boot.
[HTC One X] Rolando88:
waiting for device and hboot freezes until unplugging cable!
