[General Questions and Answers] jvrey5:
The first time I used programs that expect a connection through serial ports was way back when I had a Nokia 3310. I was successful in upgrading it to a Nokia 3315 and make some minor customizations such as editing the boot logo. When dealing with these types of programs or flashing tools sometimes they require special drivers or a physical external device. In most cases, it's the later. For example, the program that I mentioned in one of my earlier posts - GPG Dragon; it actually requires the GPG Dragon Box. When I looked at the pictures for that box, I noticed that it didn't really have a USB port to connect the phone to. I even tried to search for an emulator that might mimic the box. But it turns out that you can create a make-shift cable to connect the phone to it.

Btw, I'm assuming that you don't have an S930 and you haven't rooted it yet. If that's the case, then the solution to your problem could either be really simple or very complicated. The simplest solution is by going to the phone's settings and making sure that USB debugging is enabled. If it is already enabled or you don't have that option in settings AND your device is a replica/fake then you're pretty much screwed (short for very complicated). The error message that you get when you run ADB ROOT only means that either USB debugging is disabled or it was disabled by the manufacturer. You can also try to check it in your build.prop file. If there is a ro.debuggable entry then that means that it was disabled by them. In that case, you need to find a compatible ROM or use a lot of ADB SHELL commands and perhaps even use the Kitchen.

This is a long-shot but you can also try to root it while the phone is turned off.

There's a lot in Divi - you can even buy this at the side-walk (I saw one while was walking towards the LRT station - I didn't ask how much because I might end up being frustrated). So far, the cheapest one that I saw was in the 88/something Mall. There's a small stall on the ground floor that you wouldn't miss because there's always a lot of people in front of it. they're selling it for 4.5K. I bought mine in the 999 Mall. They have 2 stalls there. They were selling this for 6.5K but I got it for 5K + 700 for the 16G microSD; extra batt is 300. I'll go back there within the week and try to either have it replaced (for the 3rd time) or have it repaired.

You did not really say what your issue is. Are having problems going to the recovery mode or your phone simply hangs on the android logo?

Remove the battery, press and hold PWR for 10 secs. Put battery back in. Press and hold VolDwn + PWR to go into recovery mode. Press VolUp when you see the yellow exclamation inside the triangle on top of the cellphone pic.

If your phone already hangs on the android logo and you can't even go into the recovery mode then your phone is already bricked. But if you have a working update.zip, please share.

Do you also have a S930? If so, how do you to the fastboot mode?

When my phone was still working, I did see that the S930 has a fastboot partition. But, I wasn't able to figure out how to access it.

Being that spreadtrum phones has a crappy recovery mode, has anyone figured out how to install CWM?

Edit: My apologies to ElectronikHeart if I sounded.... It's just now that I've managed to read your thread. I've clicked on your Thanks button and bookmarked it as well. (If you guys haven't, I strongly suggest you do so.)
