i try and try, i clean the cache and the data, i make a backup of the 1203 and restore it whit the file, and in one try it magicalcome on whit the 2.5 GB :confused: . but one day later i made a factory reset and it does no start :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Piglet76:
THANK YOU!

Thank You, this instruction what I wanted for! :victory: I will try it, and hope will not brick my phone!!! :o

Any suggestions about the ROMs? (Somewhere I read the 1203 rom have problems, example...) And what about the ..._fg ending? Do I need to look for that, or not?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edsoedso:
First you root the phone. After rooting the phone make a nandroid back up with CWM. Than think about new rom. From my experience, I was able to flash through CWM Jackson rom. It is better than stock rom. You can find it at: http://www.4shared.com/zip/Ezz3VaWA/M44_signed_N9330_signed_ROM_V3.html

I bricked the phone flashing JB_4.1.1_e1901_v77_gq2002_ov5647_MOD_RU_VER_1.2 with SP flash tool. As I have said you many time do not flash rom with SP flash tool. There is a very high risk to brick the phone. Use only CWM.

Considering buying one?

It's another week, and I've tried every tweak under the sun. I've rooted the phone and tried every permutation of settings in "engineering mode". I've tried every set of variations to the ro.ril settings in build.prop. I've even tried four different versions of international ROMs. There is simply no way this phone will connect to the USA AT&T network in 3G.

Considering buying one? Consider these points:

In the USA you cannot get 3G. You're paying through the nose for a 3-4G data plan so you can do occassional web surfing, online maps, send MMC pictures and videos. But you're paying for nothing if you expect to use this phone. It will connect to the AT&T network at 2G (EDGE) which is only about twice the speed of a dialup modem. Don't expect to do anything that you're paying for a high speed data plan to do.

WiFi kinda sorta works. Range is limited by the transmit power of the phone. It receives OK, it just doesn't have the guts to reach out to the wireless router.

GPS us unusable. It does receive satellites, sometimes, weakly. In a clear area, outside of any structure, it will occassionally establish a lock and position for a few seconds. For any practical purpose GPS is unusable.

Basic phone (2G) reception is generally good. But I can get a nearly free and much smaller phone to do that.

Tech support is non-existant. I mean, really. None. This website and a few like it are all there is. NO factory support site. NO dial-up support. NOTHING.

You are forewarned.

As for me? I'm going to retire this N9330 to a corner of a closet and have a glass of wine to the wasted $200. My SIM is going back into my 5 year old HTC Tytn II which performs substantially better. IHMO this N9330 is a pig with lipstick. After it has accumulated a year or so of dust my wife will probably throw it out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MrGaryLim:
this phone only support the band belows ;

2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

3G: WCDMA 850/2100MHz

AT& T use 1900MHz for 3G. You have to use T-Mobile as T-Mobile use 2100Mhz for 3G. You can read this link below;

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gerstavros:
Wifi and GPS work excellent at mine.

And also 3G at 2100MHz
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wseverin:
1900 wcdma

The outfit that I bought the phone from advertises N9330 operation on their website thus:

This is somewhat substantiated by the phone's "engineering mode" "Band Mode" page, which shows which bands are operational and allows the used bands to be selected based on the location. This page shows highlighted and available for selection on the SIM-1 slot:

AT&T operates WCDMA at 1900-PCS and 850-CLR. It should work, unless the advertising and the phone software are both bogus. I bought the phone based on assurances that it did, indeed, work on the necessary frequencies.

There is a new ROM - 20130121 (NEW INFORMATION)

All, after some persistance on the part of the person in China who sold me the phone, the factory agreed to post the latest version of the firmware. That is 9p017-ov5647_N9330-20130124_e1901_v77_gq2002. I successfully flashed it. It seems to require a complete erase, probably because of some partition resizing. If you decide to try it, back up your data first - especially your NVRAM data, and ESPECIALLY your IMEI codes.

This new version seems to fix a number of small bugs in the 20121215 build, notably the confusion in the firmware over which SIM slot was which. The default build works only with the new version camera. I have old version, so I lost my camera function in the upgrade. New information: SP MDT Multiport Flash Tool will allow you to pick and choose different drivers for different cameras and displays from a database. Use SP MDT Multiport Flash Tool (instead of SP Flash Tool) if you have the older version camera!! I found that the following settings give me the new firmware with both the front and back cameras, for my older model:

main: ov7675 sub: ov5647 lcd: z5300

Another hint: Before you flash, run the recovery.img file through Android Kitchen using the script to insert CWM. Then flash with the modded recovery.img. Once flashed, use CWM to install su, superuser, and busybox. Presto! Your phone is rooted with the new firmware. It only takes five minutes additional if you already have cygwin and Andriod Kitchen installed.

Here are the release notes since the 20121215 release, courtesy of Google Translate:

Here's a link to the download:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edsoedso:
And in addition to CWM backup, do not forget to make a backup with MTKDroid tool. Complete the process until making it flashable with SP flash tool. This is very important in case you accidentally brick the device in the future.

Display question

Hi,

may I have one more question BEFORE :D I jump into it? Thanks for Your advise about Jackson's rom, but I read earlier, can be problems with the different displays also. (Maybe true, maybe not, I just wanna make sure.)

Can I check somehow what display is in my phone? I tried Z-Device tester earlier, but the program every time crashed... Any other way or program?

I remember You said our devices is identical, but I'm a little bit nerveous, so I didn't made the root yet. :o

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] edsoedso:
It Is true that we have devices with the same model and build number bit it depend also on other elements such as memory, camera, etc. I have noted something strange.

I bricked the phone and was able to unbrick it using test point and SP flash tool. I was able to install the rom

dated december 03 2012. No other rom could be installed in my device any more eather with SP flash tool, CWM or TWRP. Try to root the device. Than try to install new rom only with CWM. In case rom is not for your device, CWM normally reject it. Everything depends on you. Good luck.

no luck at all

Model: e1901_v77_gq2002

Android: 4.1.1

Build: e1909_v77gq2002_20121214

I'm totaly confused. I have tried almost everything to root the phone. All options end with in SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1224.01, error 4050. I have read the complete thread and tried the various options, but no luck.

Anyone, any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wseverin:
Have you tried formatting?

I've not not seen error 4050, but I have seen many. Most are caused by incompatible sizes and formats of the partitions that make up the new ROM compared to the way the phone is presently formatted; and many are solved by formatting the phone internal storage prior to downloading. There's a button on the SP Flash GUI.

Some points:

1) The build you mention is not an official build, unless it's a typo. Do you mean e1901_v77_gq2002_fg_20121215? Otherwise, you may be trying to flash the phone with a ROM for another model, which is a certain failure.

2) IF you decide to format first, back up your important data and your IMEI to your SD card, then REMOVE THE SD CARD before formatting.

3) If after formatting the download still fails, your phone will be unusable until you flash it with something.

I bricked my N9330 Note2 1GB phone and also unbricked it using test point, SP flash tool and stock rom dated December 03 (number 4). My phone before bricking had the rom dated November 26. I am not able to install this rom now, because CWM does not recognizes and SP tool gives error. The same thing happens with jackson rom which I installed before bricking and was functioning very well. The rom I have installed now, dated December 03, has some problems the most important is that wifi does not goes on? There is any way to find the factory stock rom dated November 26? The one you have offered is not factory stock rom but dump stock rom. Why the other roms that previously I was able to install, I can't now? Thank you!

I was not able to solve it. My understanding is that all these error we are receiving from flashing process mean that rom we are flashing are not exactly for our device.

It is a minor update (sth to do with RAM) by the way. Nothing fancy like 4.2.2 Jellybean. However , if u are still using last year's software, you should update, because the internal storage for apps is increased from 500Mb to 0.9Gb in the January update (2 updates before the current one)

Battery problem

I wanted to ask 2 things:

1 The volume of the rear speakers is high? in mine, the sound is very low.

2 Have you tried to listen to music or watch movies or play something? when I do one of these things, my smartphone heats up a lot, consumes a lot of battery and after a while, I get a message of overheated battery. I state that I have the original rom without overclocking, so it is all original.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sas007:
Hi what i usually do is root device and change settings in cpu to ondemand,this will stop power drain and the excessive heat.

as for volume yes mine is a little low and this can be altered in engineering menu of device but you can end up blowing speaker.best thing to do is download a volume booster app from Google play as thats the best option.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nikdevil:
Thank you for your response.

I had already tried to set on "ondemand" but did not improve anything. I'm afraid it's a hardware problem because it is impossible that the phone turns itself off for too high temperature while I'm just listening to music. I checked the CPU that consumes very little power and so it must be another problem. Maybe overheats when reading the internal memory or a problem of ram. I do not know what to do. The volume of the speaker instead is a minor problem. The main thing I want to do now, is to be able to flash a new rom to see if it solves the problem. I was also looking at internet a guide to compare the parameters in engineering mode *#*#3646633#*#* but could not find anything.

Thank you again!
