But I would like to ask if this ROM also works with Feiteng GT-H7100 because that's the phone I ordered.
[General Questions and Answers] androidia:
Yes it is exactly, same model as mine!!!
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
Thanks :)

Actually yes, now I compared the two models and I found no difference.... yet they have little bit different prize which is weird.

And I have also found H7100 with another configuration - everything is the same but it has 512 MB RAM and the camera is 5 MPx.
[General Questions and Answers] olufsen:
Thanks bro for the detailed guide.

Apart from that, I find that the GPS is not very responsive. any fix on that? tried the GPS fixed. not much improvement.
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
Try using the "GPS test" app from the Play Store. Turn off the GPS then open GPS test and go to settings -> clear AGPS. Reboot your phone and then run GPS test again and go to settings-> cpdate AGPS and after that turn the GPS on and try to find satelites,

You do not need to root the phone. I will post the link for flash tool later. Instructions for flashing is on one of my other posts just need to install usb driver for the phone.

July had a look at the phone and it is very similar to mine and it did say Feiteng on the description so I think it is the same....

Rather than waiting you can download the flash tool from the pdf file instructions that I posted earlier. I will post usb driver that I used if you need it.

[General Questions and Answers] artintheblade:
Hey all,

So right when I finally get my phone rooted, of course I mess it up. Dx

Now my phone will only flash the "spanish rom" that was posted earlier. Whenever I try and use MTK Flash Tool to flash the new rom that has everything, it will never boot past the flashing "android" logo.

I know my phone isn't bricked, otherwise I couldn't flash the other rom on it, so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks!!
[General Questions and Answers] androidia:
Try this, boot into recovery by doing volume up + power button, wipe cache/ data. Try to reboot again if that failed flash the rom again.
[General Questions and Answers] artintheblade:
Awesome, you nailed it!

Thanks for all of your guys work! This is how great dev communities start, just a few people with a few phones at a time :victory:

I really want to start working on a custom kernel for this phone, but I've never done anything like that before. No time like the present!:cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] Salvy:
@@androidia: Opps! I could swear it didn't say Feiteng on the description when I first looked at it xD

Got my phone rooted! :)

So far I'm very happy with this phone, only few issues that bother me, not sure if any one knows any solution?

*Controls from the headphones don't work, not even the one that came with the phone (a big bummer for me since I hate to take out my phone to change songs)

*After some heavy use, when trying to pull the notification bar, it glitches really bad until I reboot the phone.

*It takes quiet bit of time to charge the phone, compared to my old phone.

*Like any MTK phone, the gps sucks, I'll give a try to some of the gps fixes from the market.

Other than that, I would highly recommend this phone to anyone, better impressive how Chinese "knockoffs" have come!

PS: Sorry for going offtopic :p
[General Questions and Answers] androidia:
My gps is okay, I get occasionally connection loss. Try gps status app from market and use it in conjunction....also make sure all options under settings. - location services are checked. Am not sure about headset control I don't really use it, and my battery charge is reasonable it is a big battery though. I do not use the charger that come with the phone. Maybe try a different charger...
[General Questions and Answers] artintheblade:
I had this problem as well. In fact, whenever I used the charger and cable that came with it, I would only be able to charge it when it was turned off. I swapped out both the wall adapter and the cable, and that seemed to fix the problem for me.
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
It's 3100 mAh battery, that's big capacity. I think that it is normal to be charged longer than many other batteries.
[General Questions and Answers] artintheblade:
You're, right, it is normal. What's NOT normal is that my phone was dying while I had it turned on, plugged in, and was using it haha

I'm pretty sure I just got a bad cable with it though, because it couldnt even stay connected to the computer when I used it.
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
You mean it was dying when you unpacked it and turned it on for first time?

By the way, batteryuniversity.com has really good article about Li-ion batteries which explains how they behave, how they should be charged and used correctly: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries . Check it out :)
[General Questions and Answers] Salvy:
Indeed, my old phone had 1700mAh. It seems the cable that came with phone was issue, it charges much faster using my old cable.

SP Flash Tool Error 8100

Hi,

I tried rooting my H7100 but I can't get past this error. SP Flash Tool Error (8100). I tried many different drivers but everytime I tried flashing, I got that error. I have followed every instruction on this thread. I will provide a screenshot of my problem. Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
It seems like you didn't instal the MTK6577 phone driver.
[General Questions and Answers] SandboxOnline:
SP Flash Tool Error 8100

I tried many different MTK6577 drivers and from different sources too. When my phone is turned on and in debugging mode, it works alright. Like I can see Android Phone in the device manager with Android Composite Driver listed below it.

The problem is when I try to download the boot.img file in accordance with the instruction I got from this thread. When I clicked download and the SP Flash Tool was searching for a device, I connected my usb cable to the phone then inserted the battery. The SP Flash Tool's red progress bar goes to 100% then it says that I have to connect a device in X seconds. It looked like it lost the connection with my phone. During that process I was also monitoring my device manager. There was indeed a new hardware COM(random port number). But my problem is I have installed an MTK65XX usb drivers and yet I have an unknown device on COM(xx) port.

I have tried several methods like installing the driver manually. These are the drivers I tried to install: (These are archived files .zip/.rar).

1.) ("_ w w w.x-drivers.ru_mtk_usb_cable_driver_v1.1121.0 _")

It came with an installer (.exe). So when I installed it, it detected my OS and installed the driver successfully. But still I get the error in SP Flash tool.

2.) ("_ w w w.x-drivers.ru_mtk_and_usb_mtk_lenovo_google_htc_2.0.0010 _")

When I would manually install the file, it says there is invalid INF with the file.

3.) 6577driver_install_3_steps

I also tested this. This also came with an installer and installation was successful. Still I get error 8100.

4.) MT65xx_USB_Driver

This one came with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v17. Still I get error 8100.

5.) MTKUSB_Driver_65xx

This one came with the the v18 of Root with Restore by Binary. Still gets error 8100.

6.) usb_driver_MT65xx_Android_ZTE_v821

I tried this one too. It says something invalid INF.

Everytime I installed a driver successfully, there will still be unknown device shown on COM(x) port when I try to flash.

If a driver will not install, it usually says something that the INF is invalid or part of it. Or it will just say it didn't find any driver when there is INF on the folder.

I also tried downloading the Android SDK from Google itself. It's a huge archive around 300MB and it came with Google USB driver but still I get error.

I also tried PdaNetA4013 tool and MTKdroidTools_v230 but still the problem persist. The OneClickRoot doesn't work as it was also the first problem encountered on this thread.

I have done lots of Google and XDA forum searches and I can't find a solution to this problem. Can someone send me the correct USB drivers they used when they flashed their phone? Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] -fluffy-:
it isnt because off drivers

u need to run it is admin
[General Questions and Answers] SandboxOnline:
You mean to run SP Flash Tool as Administrator? I just did that right now and still got the error.

Here are some screenshots.

The 1st picture is when SP Flash Tool is about to download and waits for connection. You can also see the device manager on the left which has nothing unusual.

The second picture is after I connected my phone. It got to 100% then asked to insert a USB cable. You can also see that when it was asking to insert USB cable, there was Unknown Device listed in the device manager. This unknown device appeared when SP Flash Tool asked to insert a cable and started the countdown. Also Preloader USB VCOM was detected but why did I have an unknown device? I tried to remove my USB cable and put it back before the timer expired but still I got the error at the end.
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
Then try uninstalling all drivers using the task manager, reboot the PC, install the ones posted on this thread, run the flash tool as admin.
[General Questions and Answers] SandboxOnline:
SP Flash Tool Error 8100

How do you uninstall the drivers using the task manager? Or is it the device manager? I will try uninstalling the driver through device manager then install new ones.
[General Questions and Answers] deldeldel:
I cant even get that far !

Ive got drivers installed, checked device manager, android device, android composite ADB device.

Loaded up flash tool fine, with the rom from here, and when I click f9, it changes to searching , and it sits there doing nothing !

Whenever I plug the phone into computer, when the phone is off, it shows up in device manager for around a second, then disappears .

I hear the computer giving me the usb connected sound, then within a second it gives me the disconnected sound and then it disappears from device manager.

Slowly pulling the last strands of my hair out lol !

Forgot to say, tried running as admin as well and I have also got usb debugging enabled.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

New error! ERROR:S_FT_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)

I tried to flash my phone on different PCs. One is Windows 7 32-bit and the other is Windows XP 32 bit. In both PCs, both PRELOADER VCOM USB and DA VCOM USB ports have been found and installed successfully. In my Vista 32-bit machine, DA VCOM USB port was not detected only the PRELOADER. This might have been the cause of SP Flash Tool to prompt me to insert a USB cable in (x) seconds and got me an 8100 error.

With the W7 32bit and XP 32bit PCs, I managed to get past this error but unfortunately, I encountered a new one. ERROR:S_FT_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)

Drivers look fine when phone switched on, but when phone off, it asks for driver, which one do I use ?

Try this Driver

http://www.4shared.com/archive/kTZVBKDv/MT6577_USB_VCOM_drivers.html

Exact the content to a folder, it comes with excutable file, install it, then turn phone off with battry out, then try to flash again, if this failed. Go to device manager while you still have the phone plugged in with battery out, it should show as MtK65xx device with yellow mark on it, right click and update driver then browser for the file yourself and point it the folder that the driver content is depending on which operating system you are using, i will recommend xp. Hope that helps

[General Questions and Answers] deldeldel:
Ok, took your advice.

Stayed up to 5am this morning rooting the device !

Followed your instructions and links and it all eventually went well. ( after 2 hours with cygwin !)

Anyway, eveything went the way the instructions said it would,

But

My problem now, when I open supersu it wont update binary. Also, when I use root checker app, it says the device does not have PROPER root access.

It must have rooted something lol, before I done this, supersu would just come back and say not rooted, but now it does open up supersu, but wont allow binary update.

When I took the boot.img from device it was around 6mb, now once its been rooted, it is only around 3.6mb, is that about right?

What do I do now ?
[General Questions and Answers] Gilly1984:
my only guess is that you have the 512 version because mine still shows 980mb ram in android system info from play store.

This is not related to this new ROM as it did it on the standard one too. If you have a problem with GPS, disable the epo setting and just use agps. use GPS test from play store, press options and clear agps. should now lock on fast, mine does and that's just sat near a window :)
