i use enigma v4.4 on my LOCKED BL ! it is stock jb.400 based :)

and what are gapps bro ?? i listened to this.. like in CM roms.. bt enigma has no gapps !

sorry for being noob :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alchemx:
Your phone is probably softbricked as flashing stock rom does not hard brick. If you cant flash via flashtool in flash mode then try this:

Thanks for your reply mate,but already did solved the problem by refering to earlier posts :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alchemx:
What phone do you have? Gapps are Google apps, u are probably on jb if u have xperia p or go. You can download gapps here for xperia sola and u :

For xperia p and go:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

Flash this zip via cwm and wipe cache and dalvik cache before and after flash.

Enigma v4.4 should only be used on xperia p, use other ics based enigma on sola go and u.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Fikus-R34:
I am using Enigma v4.4 on my Xperia P, There is gapps already installed in Enigma ROM. Enigma isn't complete rom, it is based on stock firmware, which you must have fresh-installed with all wipes before installing Enigma.

I know only one ROM that requires gapps. It is Cyanogenmod (or CM-based)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
Gapps are only needed with cyanogen mod or miui roms...

cuz they are completely modded all other roms stock based don t need it

till dev of the rom you goin to install tell u need it!

So You Mean is Internal Memory will Be Wiped after an OTA? Cuz the update centre notification is quite annoying and it's official jelly bean :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alx31:
No, you won t suppose to loose any personnal data from sd card partition (pictures and music) but as i said make a backup of it takes 2 minutes if u scare

but you will loose user's data from rom, like recent calls,contacts,sms...so just have to export contacts on sim card and sd card just to make sure...

First timer Rom install

Hi,

I have an Xperia Go and I am planning to make use of some of the great Roms available here. In the development section, for example, I saw PowerJB for XGO ROM and I want to install it.

My Xperia Go is right now in as-is state - I have only updated via the Sony official service. It is not rooted or anything.

Is there a guide for this? Can someone please point me to the right URL? The Rom thread itself dont tell much about where to start.

I know this may have been asked before, I am sorry if I was not supposed to ask this.

thank you,

As I remember that's one of the tools required to unlock bootloader.

Some other requirements that you need are your key to unlock bootloader and Android SDK, which is quite huge.

I'm posting this here since im not allowed to post in this thread (dont have 10 posts): Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 13.10.2012]

I have succesfully rooted my mt6577 GT-N9300+ Galaxy S3 smartphone clone by following the steps (at your own risk):

connect phone to pc by USB cable

install correct driver until it is shown in Device manager as a "Android Phone" - "Android Composite ADB interface". The driver can be easily found on the web if you search for "usb_driver_MT65xx_Android_.rar". If you don't know how to install a driver stop this procedure and learn windows.;)

Go to "settings" in your smart phone

go to 'SYSTEM' , 'developer options' and enable 'USB debugging'

go to 'PERSONAL', 'Security' and enable 'Unknown sources'

Follow instructions in Bin4ry's first post (here ) and start his procedure (runme.bat)

Choose number 1) 'normal mode' in this procedure

Your smart phone pops up backup/restore --> choose 'restore'

Let your smart phone restart

Your phone is rooted thanks to Bin4ry:good::good:

Root Bluebo L100

I have MT6577 Bluebo L100 S3 clone. It's not rooted but I'm concerned if I root it then following the above ( Bin4ry's ) it will restore phone so the IMEI will have changed etc and the phone will go back to stock or something. Can you let me know if after rooting and restoring the phone was as it was before but with root.

Thanks

I have followed these instructions and have been able to root my phone without any problems. I have the MT6577 GT-I93000 which is also known as n9300+ Galaxy S3 clone. My only wish is that some develpoer can let us know if there will be any new ROM's made for this type of phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] athlonoc:
Thanks for the confirmation. But did your phone remain in the exact state after rooting, as it was prior to rooting. It mentions restore and I dread that it will restore the phone but I don't want it to do that.

Hi Lee,

I installed some apps and changed settings before rooting. After rooting nothing was changed. As far as i know it was not restored to stock. I think the backup/restore procedure is required to install the Superuser app correctly (correct me if I am wrong).

Sorted - just took a little courage to believe it would remain as it was but with root.

Superuser app installed and browsed root with root explorer.

Hi guy's i have come across these files (link below my 4 share Page) , also have the same phone and would love to root i have tried the above option. 1 and 2 i am to scared to go further using SP_Flash_Tool_v3 Noob to this.

below are the details from the site translated if anyone with more experiance knows.

4.1.1 firmware (still in test phase)

Verified firmware on the phones with the module 6628Q (full health), check your module can be on a sticker under the battery.

The module can be found in the Engineering menu, including GPS, Location tab == > == > YGPS Inform Ation

Be sure to make a backup of the old system just in case

4.1.1 Jelly Bean for Android FeiTeng N9300 + MTK6577 by Antilamer

Features:

the Foundation is stock firmware 4.1.1;

-Enclosing the new version Recovery 6.0.15

-patched boot.img;

-installed SuperUser and RootExplorer (Full Root access);

-removed the entire Chinese software and spyware;

-language and time zone, the default English +4 Moscow;

-firmware tested N9300 + c module 6628Q

Installation:

1. SP Flash Tool, if it is not present.

2. download the firmware from here Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean for FeiTeng N9300 +

3. Extract the firmware.

4. run the Flash Tool

5. Select Scatter-Loader from the folder with the firmware (it's there one file with a .txt extension).

6. Remove the first two (do not install PRELOADER and DSP_BL).

7. Click Download and you answer Yes.

8. Turn off your phone, remove the battery and replace it after some seconds (and don't turn on the phone).

Press F9 (or hit Download button) and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.

The process will start and a red progress bar will appear.

After the red progress bar is complete, there will appear a purple progress bar.

Right after the purple progress bar is complete, a message will appear underneath it:

“Please insert USB cable in x seconds” and then the download will start right away (you will see the yellow progress bar filling up).

When the yellow bar is complete, you'll get a popup with a green circle and Download OK message,

which means that the process has been successfully terminated.

9. wait for Finish. Disconnect from computer, insert the battery and run.

Very important warning: Always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone.

After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.

Please if some one willing to test can you reply with LAYMANS instructions How to.
