compayn fordanc

Hi there, thx for upload...but i have one Problem.

Flashing the recovery works, but it's not possible for me to enter recovery?!?

When i push "power on" and " volume up" the same time the phone gets an endless loop and nothing happens....when i release the buttons it boots normally up, but no recovery?

Maybe i did something wrong?

Did you tested?

Are you sure at you on hands namely Star N 9330 and not other device? I'm not sure in it, in Russian forum already enough guys which flash CWM and Boot, and all work. You necessary flash original files with his device and be attentive next time. Sorry
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
Yes i have 100% the N9330 and your files doesn't work!

And your Boot.img crashes my phone :(

Flashing (your original firmware) isn't working too......the phone is in Bootloop.....so please help me!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
:( what should I say? Big sorry first!

You are right mate, and i am the stupid guy :/

It is not a N9330 it is a Note2 "M Pai Royalty" you can see it for example here:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/In-stock-New-Arrival-M-Pai-Royalty-Note-2-Smart-Phone-Android-4-0-MTK6577-Dual/670182900.html

do you know where to get or find stock rom or custom rom to get the phone back to life again?

Hi guys, do you have CWM ROM for this Star N9330?:cowboy:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
First you say it works good, and than you asked for CWM Rom?!?

So please choose, does CWM Rom work or not?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edrose363:
Star N9330

hi guys....is there something missing from the attached files or I do it wrongly? can't flash it using SPtools neither install it from SD card...any step by step guide on how to counter this matter? thanks in advance :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
1. turn off Phone and put out battery (usb cable is NOT plugged in)

2. start Flash SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01 (flash_tool.exe) and choose "scatter loading"

3. choose from the folder "CWM_Bruno_N9330" the file called "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt"

4. there must be only one checkbox marked (recovery) - if not mark it and check if the phad is correct. ( you have to choose the file called "recovery.img" from the folder "CWM_Bruno_N9330"

5. now put battery back in phone again, click on button "download" accept the warning with "Yes" and THAN connect phone with usb to pc!

6. if all goes right, you should see a green circle with the message "download ok"

7. unconnect USB, put out battery for some seconds and put it back again

8. now you should enter the recovery mode by holding power-button and volume up-button at the same time

any questions? :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edrose363:

TQ Mawe79...stuck at step3...when I load the "MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt"...a notification pop up says "Error: Initializing scatter file failed. Please check the name of scatter file which you load is legal." any idea bro? :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mawe79:
did you checked the path correct? Did you checked?

If you choose the rght file and the path is correct, maybe the file you have downloaded is corrupt?

So i would suggest...download again, and try again!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] arif.santai:
The CWM is Only CWM Recovery

Ya, The CWM Recovery is really work. But the CWM ROM is only CWM Recovery.

I need real ROM as like "CWM 10 Jelly Bean" for this Star N9330. Or may be CWM 9.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edrose363:
Try Again

the path correct... I'll try to download the file again...TQ :p

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gurpal2000:
I have been able to Root my N9330 now :) instructions as per thread. I am returning to this thread as I have a different issue to get advice on...

Problem: I can't get the FRONT camera to work (never have been since I got the phone and is independent of rooting).

In my approach, I am using the SP-MDT tool to go through the various combinations of drivers I can use. From my trial and error, the driver choices affect the uboot image file. To go through the combinations, I used the Jackson ROM just to get a ROM structure. I then transfer each time the "corrected" uboot to my phone using the standard SP Flash Tool. That entire process works fine - the general instructions are here (use Google translate!)

My original combo was:

- rear: mt9p017mipi_raw

- front: ov7675_yuv

The little white camera icon does NOT appear with this combo. Here are the screenshots for proof.

The combo below DOES show the white icon. BUT when i click on it, the app shows a black view and the camera app goes unresponsive.

- rear: mt9p017mipi_raw

- front: ov5647mipi_raw

The difference here is the front camera driver. Any ideas what on earth is going on?

thanks

rispp please
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MrGaryLim:
for those who have problem rooting the phone because cannot flash the recovery.img as specify in page 1, I just discover by accident that you need the DSP_BL and PRELOADER and UBOOT in the same directory where the recovery.img. Then start the flash with only the BOOTIMG and RECOVERY selected.

Please note that there is 2 version of N9330 ROM, one with preloader ov5647 and another one is 9P017. You can try both.

IM BACK!!!

Right, im back with a new N9330, the Chinese supplier were kind enough to send me a replacement phone after i bricked my last :o my firmware is still November!

I come back to this forum to see a boom of activity, however, i don't know if its me being stupid (probably) but im more confused than ever! So many firmwares, methods etc to root / gain cwm.

Could the OP be so kind to change the first post to list the different Firmwares and the correct method for gaining root / CWM if available.

I don't want to end up bricking my phone again with the wrong firmware / method, it would be much appreciated and i would think im not the only one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] feropont:
Ok! as appearing in me free time, i will add a directory firmware and custom ROM for different revisions N9330

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gogomogo:
If your phone kernel is 3.0.13, you use fake jb phone. It is android 4.0 faked jb theme. But works good and battery life is perfect.

If kernel is 3.4.0, it is true jb. But some problems. Jb roms have battery drain issue. I tried all of roms.

I bought haipai noble n7100. I will not buy Ulefone/Star products again , because different roms make person cancer really.

I think Ulefone/Star products uses cheap lcd panel. Panel shows like cream colour, not like real white. You can check.

I have fei teng galaxy s3 also my gf uses. This phone is really rocks. Lcd shows clear and white.

I think Ulefone/Star products have another issues but my english language is not enough to tell. But these problems are most important.

I prefer you to choose hdc feiteng or haipai products. Firstly, before buy phone research about software support. Then choose one of them to buy.

I will sell this phone. If your gps doesnt work, try other roms and set locations for your country.

Take care

Thanks for your help, however, on the very first posts on doing this initial step, they say only one check box ...

4. there must be only one checkbox marked (recovery) - if not mark it and check if the phad is correct. ( you have to choose the file called "recovery.img" from the folder "CWM_Bruno_N9330"

So, if we are supposed to check boot image, to which file do we point?

I've been working on this phone for 6 hours trying to root. Goal is to install cyanogenmod or whatever good rom will go into this thing. The stock rom is crap.

I have been told that there is another firmware that can work for our phone.You can download the ROM at this site. This is Jackson firmware based on JB 4.1.

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...&uk=2500040534

Before flash, copy the 2 files from CameraFix and replace it.

This is what others have done, I have not used it. Is it possible to replace the camera files of the above modified Russian rom with original camera files and flash it??

Now the question is, which ROMs work in this phone? I was sooo hoping one of the Cyanogenmods would work in this. Has anyone tried this? Should I try it (after backing up with cwm, course) using the download designed for the Galaxy Note 2? Feedback appreciated ...

If it fails, cwm can restore the phone, right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edsoedso:
I have exactly the same phone as you. The only new thing I have been able to do with it is installing TWPR that replaced CWM. TWPR is touch screen instead of using CWM with fixed keys.

I am affraid you may brick the phone using Galaxy Note 2 roms. You should flash roms developed specifically for this device. Anyway, should you find something interesting, please let me know.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

One more question: Why didn't you flash the above roms directly from sd card using CWM instead of using sp flash tool?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] blonqe:
Glad it worked :)

I've not tried any custom roms, in theory if trying another rom fails you should be able to just install your back up rom, however this all depends on if the custom rom does not change the kernel, boot loader etc.

I believe you also need the correct drivers etc (camera, bluetooth, wifi) (You should be able to find now you are rooted - but i dont know where to look)

I could be wrong but i'm afraid im not brave enough to try!

The long way round is to build one from scratch using an android kitchen tool, but this is beyond what i know plus you still need the drivers.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chickenmusket:
I was mistaken. The phone is not rooted, but it now has clockwork mod installed. I'm not sure how to proceed from here to make it rooted. But it's not crucial as my plan is to flash a new ROM (using cwm) and not mess with the current stock one.

Am I correct in assuming that if I did a full backup with cwm, that the phone is basically imaged and can be brought back from a bad reaction from a new ROM? Does the cwm backup 'image' contain the kernel, boot loader, etc?

Or, do I need to do that scatter thing with Mkt Droid tools to do a true image backup (using the scatter & blocks method to my PC, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36154677&postcount=230) and figure out how to restore from there?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edsoedso:
Perhaps I am wrong but you:

1. cant' install CWM without being rooted. They both are linked with each other.

2. can't back up/restore without being rooted (using CWM)

3. can't install custom roms without being rooted

For your device there is one stock rom that comes preinstalled and two custom roms (so far). The first custom rom is Jackson firmware based on JB 4.1. http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shar...&uk=2500040534. In case you install it replace camera drivers with stock rom drivers in order to have both cameras working.

The second custom rom is a Russian modded firmware, JB_4.1.1_e1901_v77_gq2002_ov5647_MOD_RU_VER_1.2. In case you install it the front camera will not work, the back camera will show upside down. As long as developers have not developed new custom roms for this device we have to be satisfied with the actual situation. As said above I might be wrong so make a double check with others.
