I've tried your solution, but it didn't work. I have the same problem, the phone keeps disconnecting 2 seconds after I connect it.

In Device manager, there isn't any device called preloader.

Although the phone is not recognized by windows, it keeps charging when connected.

By the way, I'm using Windows 7 64bits.

What am I doing wrong?
[Android General] lfaria123:
have you installed the drivers as i said on the 1st step? theres more then one on the file. you have to install all of them and reboot before proceding. i did it on win7 64 w/o problems.
[Android General] gold2000gt:
Yes, I've installed all three drivers using these files:

The first step\MTKusbDriver.msi

Second step\Click Install driver.exe

Third step\Click Install driver.exe

Then I reboot the computer. After boot, I connect the powered off phone, the preloader driver gets installed correctly, but the result is the same, the phone gets disconnected after a couple seconds.

There must be something I'm doing wrong, because I've done the process several times in two computers using two different cables. Or maybe is something wrong with my phone?

Any other ideas would be appreciated.
[Android General] lfaria123:
did you remember to turn on debugging mode?
[Android General] gold2000gt:
Yes, it's been on all the time. I've done this procedure 5 times now from the begining to step 5 and every time I get the same problem. As I said in a previous post, the phone gets recognized when it is on, using debugging mode on, the problem is when I try to connect it when it's powered off.

Thanks again for your help.
[Android General] gold2000gt:
Hey, finally I managed to pass step 5, and now I´m stuck in step 9. When I boot on CWM, all I get is a black screen. I've read from several threads in some forums that it's a well known problem, but I don't know how to fix it for our specific model of phone.

It seems that CWM is working, but it's not showing any text on the screen. So, i could flash the ravenous rom on it in some kind of blind mode, but it seems too risky.

Has anyone had this problem before? Could it be fixed or should I try to flash the rom in "blind mode"? If so, can someone give me the detailed instructions to do it, maybe with some pictures?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I made the same mistake, i used this rom and also other roms for changjiang n7300, but none of them makes my camera work... And I have 12MP camera as well. Were you able to sort this out or correct it? Do you have a fully working rom now? If yes, can you please link it?

Thank you!
[Android General] kingo:
HI, i did solved the problem whit the program SP_MDT_src_v3.1228.00_A2012.09.06

Run the software and load in "scatter file" the scatter file of your rom, change "main sensor" with ov5647mipi_raw. Exit program and flash rom with sp flash tool like in the guide.

When flash are do you can run cw recovery and flash the ravenous rom and camera work fine.

This worked for me, you can try.

Bye.
[Android General] Nightmare89m:
It worked, thank you very much! :)

n7300 12mpx worked! ---> Marble phone from chinavasion (mtk6577)

Finally after 4 days i took from my phone the internal stock rom , i uploaded in my pc ...every part of rom indivindually and after that (be carefull with hex calculator and the files that you upload )----> with rom studio map(not from the mtk 6577 flasher map ..there are bigger files in the map and in many cases and does not flash the files) i drop the modded recovery with the version 2 guide pdf (root mtk 6573-6577 with cwm ) and everything is ok. The problems in download files to phone was not due to the drivers but in a proccedure needs more than one file to download (all files except the preloader and dsp_bl). I have now the stock rom with CWM /rooted and the genuine rom about 3.60 gb Jelly Bean . I think that i tired but the phone works like a charm now.
[Android General] Dead-neM:
hi i doesn't have this problem but when you instal a widget on your sd card or an apk with widget and you reboot the phone the widget on your launcher dissapear because every phone load the sd card after boot that's not a rom problem or other

you can change that into the settings/storage/preferred install location choose let the system decide but you can choose the sd card as a default write disk

so now your phone gonna instal game for exemple into sd card and instal a video player into the phone memory :good:

[Android General] bracca:
I thought I'd add to my review above.

Camera: it stinks. Flash is a joke.

Battery life has been ok, but in the last couple of days it's been dropping faster. Maybe an app I installed. Phone came with two batteries.

I get AT&T HSPA in the U.S. I will update when I have a plan that allows more data so I can do a speed test.
[Android General] lfaria123:
About the Battery life, after a month o "intense" use, mine is finally coming to terms.It lasts a day. Im guessing that with normal use it should last at least 2 to 3 days (by normal i mean just calls and sms).

Charging it takes forever tho, like 4+ hours to get it to 100% (from 0).

3g/Wifi wise, coming from a galaxy s, this phone is way faster. Both are super fast.
[Android General] Nightmare89m:
Hi, where can I download this rom you have installed and using now? I would really need it as well, because apps keep freezing. :(

Taiwan 101 Rom

This rom needs CWM and after that need to fix the gps with a program that correct the gps server (continent/country). I deleted the 360 launcher and i installed the nova launcher. Dont forget to make a battery calibration! For users that want to flash the original rom via mtk 6577 flash tool i flashed this rom without battery and worked! ...if someone wants the modded CWM recovery to flash it needs to replace the original recovery.img with modded in official rom directory with all files except (the 2 first with red colour in flash tool) and flash. After that via CWM is possible to install zip only for root or to flash a custom recovery from taiwan 101 rom factory that is rooted and moded . My phone is a model with 12mpx camera and works without modification .

The only complain i have is the sudden drop of signal when im on the phone. If i cross a room, or enter a building,etc. the call ends. Seems the signal reception on this phone is really on the low end. I use to have signal pretty much everywhere i went with my older phones, now i loose signal just from going from one room to another...
[Android General] spacecowboyalex:
I have not problem with gsm reception , when the phone has low battery under 20% maybe has a problem with voice quality on a call , i think is not strange. You can test the previous 4.1.1 (2012-12-25) version for gsm reception. The custom rom of taiwan 101 before 0.4 version has this jelly bean build.

Taiwan 101

Hi.

My phone is a model with 12mpx camera and I want to instal that ROM. Can you describe me exactly what you do?
[Android General] spacecowboyalex:
about that rom

First of all you should have installed CWM in your phone. If you haven't you must flash the original rom with mtk 6577 flash tool but you should replace the original recovery with modded recovery in the rom folder. I can send you the link of a file if you dont have. Then you will flash a custom rom from here , any rom you like! You can keep a backup of your rom if you want.

Also you can read the quide here to instal ravenous rom.

I think that the 12 mpx camera is not real 12 mpx but 8mpx. I think that there is only one n7300 with 8mp back and 0.3 mp front. This is a marketing trick to improve sells. If someone edit the build.prop ..the phone write fault info in settings and benchmarks info about hardware.

i posted the links of original jelly bean firmware , and custom firmwares. In taiwan 101 rom factory( facebook ) you can see many info about modding this phone. They are specialists with this phone!

sensor calibration

With the sensor calibration I found that if you put you plam 1 inch over the sensors at top of phone then calibrate it it works on body heat

Dialer will stay on till it goes next to your ear then goes out and comes back on when you remove from your ear..I hope this helps
[Android General] laurentiu_cerghizan:
Thank you! send me please the link of a file. I have CWM 3 but it's not working to flash custom ROM.
[Android General] spacecowboyalex:
the original rom that you will flash with mtk 6577 flash tool is here:

http://www.4shared.com/rar/KWAzZpMm/20121225_e1901_v77_cxq_asx.html

This is the patched cwm recovery http://www.2shared.com/file/IYjuSPMA/recovery.html (to replace the original with patced) in the official rom folder before flash. Remember to flash rom without battery! Good luck with drivers , mine works on windows 7 64 bit.

Oh f&%k

Hi guys, unfortunately I have a nasty problem, I updated the firmware from 20121225_e1901_v77_cxq_asx to 20121231_e1901_v77_cxq_asx through SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1244 without putting any recovery in it. It seemed to be alright but! Now the screen has lost all the bright colors! Even if I raise the brightness level I see that it increases the level of light on the edges of the screen but the screen goes from almost black to dim at best. IIn the bottom of the screen there is like a small gray bar. Interestingly the brightness of the LEDs behind the four buttons on the bottom have increased a lot. What can I do? Now the phone is practically unusable, I tried the EngineerMode and changing the options (in Chinese) in the bootloader menu but nothing :( Please help!

hello to all,

After installing the Ravenous v1.0 n7300 4.1JB Deodex,Fast Speed ROM and install the memory monitor, the memory info tells me that i have 512mb memory install instead 1gb that my phone has.

Any suggestions ?

Finally after many many times efforts and a lot of search, i manage to ClockworkMod the phone , upgrade my firmware with Ravenous v1.0 n7300 4.1 JellyBean Rom, recognize the 1GB ram and resolve the problem with 5% of bringhtess.

For those who want to upgrade don't use the SP_Flash_Tool_v3 or v.4 but instead of this use the SPMPT (for full flash/ recovery to official)

If you are facing problem with brightness or with front/back camera, after choosing the scatter file, use the setting as appears at the attachement.

Great to hear it :D how did you manage to fix the 1gb of ram tho? i have everything working but that...

blank screen after CWM

Hallo, I own HDC N7300. Sometimes, switching on, on usual mode, I get blank screen. With power button this is solved. I tried to install CWM with SP Flash tool but now I get blank screen when, from power off, I use keys Volume up & power on, so it's impossible to install new firmware from SD card. My firmware is 07 Dec 2012, maybe the first. I fear lcd parameters are wrong when in CWM. Any suggestion?

With spft use format then reflash your firmware if you have it

Et voilà

I found the way to upgrade firmware in a simple way: look for need rom on web and you'll find SP flash program and the upgrade, 20130114_2.5G_REC_ROOT_sx.rar size 482 MB.

After first boot the phone was always looping on startup screen, so I removed battery and started in chinese recovery mode. Made 3 wipes et voilà, Jelly Bean!

Only 20 minutes!

That's a good way for the owners of first firmware release not able to use recovery mode.

Star S1 bricked

I'm following this thread because I have a Star S1 that looked like it was the same as N7300 but with a different camera. I think though that following the posts of people that managed to upgrade their S1 with the N7300 stock firmware I bricked my phone. I tried both SPFT and SPMP to flash but then I couldn't turn on the phone, the only thing that happened is that the flashlight turned on when powering on the phone without any other phone activity thereafter.

I then looked deeply around the web and found out that the differences between the S1 and the N7300 couldn't be just with the camera due to different position of volume keys so it might be a whole different hardware.

By looking on a vendor site I managed to get the build number for this S1 phone and then I finally found out on a chinese sharing server what should be the original firmware for this Star S1, I share it here for people interested in:

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=191485&uk=369379295

After a format and flash of this firmware I still can't turn on the phone. Even no flashlight on though. The strange thing is that in SP multiport by loading this firmware I don't get any value for front/rear camera and LCD and I can't set any, the values list is empty.

Does anyone have suggenstions how can I try and solve the problem or is the phone completely bricked?

Edit: Problem Solved. Use the SP Flash Tools version in the baidu folder posted above. Now my phone is alive again. Other versions of SPFT don't recognize the uboot file correctly and lead to unrecognized LCD and camera for this firmware. Now time to try and see if I can update to Ravenous rom.

Hello.I am watching this thread very closely because i am owner of this phone from the begging (December 2012) but i didn't know how to flash or do something else with it.I have learn it in meanwhile but i still didn't have courage to flash it,but my friend did it with his (We bought them from the same place and in same time).Now he has a problem.Screen have very little brightens (almost impossible to see).

I thought because we have two same phone is it possible to extract rom from my working rom and put it back to his?

If that is possible,what are the steps for that operation?

Other thing we got these not working firmware from manufacter from china.

Is it possible that he sent us wrong one.The thing is phone is working,but with very low visibility.
