Απ: [Q] FeiTeng H7100 - Root?

Dont know if i this can work , but have you tried loading androidia's rom by phone's loader ? You should copy the file at a card and then shutdown phone. Next you press at the same time vol up button and power on button till you see the android robot ..there you can move up by volume up and down by volume down . Enter key is the home button ! If your cable , driver or communication between PC and mobile can not be established try this to load a ROM
[General Questions and Answers] Gilly1984:
Are you using all the files that came with the download?

Click download, insert usb, then as soon as sp flash recognises your phone put battery back in.

I also got an error, it said something about "BROM ERROR" but I dont recall the error code that it gave me, It happened because I didnt put the battery in fast enough.

If it does it again try putting battery back in faster.

The rar file you downloaded should be 281mb

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

I dont think that will work because androidia doesnt know how to compile it into an update .zip.
[General Questions and Answers] Salvy:
Yes I noticed the flash doesn't help much in low light conditions, I usually just use HDR mode which helps quiet bit in low situations. As far as overall quality is not that bad for me, I took some pictures recently to sell some stuff on craigslist and they came out nicely.

PS: Anyone in the US been able to connect to the refarmed 1900 3G of T-Mobile? So far I can only pick up 3G from ATT on the 850 band, I'm starting to doubt this phone really supports 1900 for 3G.

EDIT: I have all bands enabled in mobile uncle tool
[General Questions and Answers] SandboxOnline:
Yes it was BROM error. I have already encountered this error before.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

I did this and all I see was an android robot lying on its back with a red warning sign (triangle with exclamation mark ) above its belly. I do not see options wherein I can move up and down using volume buttons.

Yes everything was selected automatically when I loaded the scatter that came with the ROM. Only three was not selected (sec_ro, cache, usrdata) as they weren't present in the ROM. I will attach a screenshot please take a look.

I have also tried putting battery back as fast as possible but still I got the error. And also, the RAR file is 281MB.

Also my link2sd couldn't mount the second partition. It says something about mounting or script load error and invalid argument after I selected the partition type of the 2nd partition. I formatted and created my partition using EaseUS Partition Manager. I tried ext2 and FAT32 partition but it didn't work.
[General Questions and Answers] Salvy:
Wanted to mentioned, I decided today to flash androidia's ROM and everything went smoothly, CMW recovery, 2Gb space, and ROOT all working.

thanks!

PS: I got stucked in the Android logo, but wiping data/cache did the trick.
[General Questions and Answers] Gilly1984:
You need to press the menu button when that little android guy is on his back, that will bring up the recovery menu.

That sounds normal.

Ran as administrator?

I think the rom has to support apps to sd for that to work. With my old phone (ZTE Crescent) I had to use a custom rom that included the darktremor script so that the phone would think the ext2 partition was the phones location for apps, I used ap2sd gui from play store.

Also, on sp flash tool I notice in the pic you supplied that in the bottom right hand corner it says SAMSUNG??? Mine said MEDIATEK!

Not sure whats going on, can you confirm every detail about your phone? With pics, Use "android system info" from the play store.
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
Is your phone the 1GB RAM model or the 512 MB RAM model? And how much ram does it have now after flashing the rom?
[General Questions and Answers] -fluffy-:
i have just hade the time to check again

mine is sttll 1gb ram BUT my system folder has gone from 1gb to 512mb

is there any way to change it back ( undo hkphone rom edit )

to phone standart

i have try to flash the hole firmware from here but still the same
[General Questions and Answers] Gilly1984:
The only difference i noticed on mine is that the internal storage changed from 2.2gb down to 54mb, and instead of 512mb for apps i now have 2.5gb, this is exactly what androidia said it would do :)

Still shows 1gb ram.
[General Questions and Answers] androidia:
I am not sure why some of you guys are having trouble flashing my rom, maybe there are 2versions of H7100. It very difficult to make changes to your rom if it is not properly rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] deldeldel:
I have decided to try again on creating unsecure boot.img from the using pdf file at the beginning of this post.

I have went through it word by word, and the only part I cant seem to do, is the very last part after using cygwin.

It states as follows,

Copy unsecured boot.img from Android Kitchen and paste it to MTK ROM Studio, at spft, load scatter.txt from mtk rom studio and download it.

So, I have now got the unsecured boot img, but there is no way on hell to put it in mtk rom studio,

I just put it back onto smart phone smart tool and used the scatter.txt from my phone , then flashed it to my phone.

What should I have done?
[General Questions and Answers] Gilly1984:
I had no problem after downloading the driver you suggested :)

The post about Chainfire 3d is completely unrelated to your rom, I just wanted to warn people about installing the chainfire driver but didnt know where else to write it as the forum doesn't have a section for clones, that I am aware of.

Would you be kind enough to start a new thread with full instructions on how to install this rom, Maybe it could become sticky :)

[General Questions and Answers] Salvy:
It's the 1GB model, my ram still says it's 1GB.

What I did is first installed PDANET android, connected my phone with usb debugging, let it installed all the drivers ex ADB driver.

Downloaded androidia's ROM and uncompressed it in a new folder.

Then installed this driver that was posted http://www.4shared.com/archive/kTZVBKDv/MT6577_USB_VCOM_drivers.html

Then installed SP flash tool: http://www.4shared.com/rar/9FpIGh6g/SP_Flash_Tool_v3122401.html

And followed the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982587

Note: I'm using Windows 7 x64.

Also I putted the battery back kind of late, when the yellow bar was loading xD, but it didn't matter since everything went good.
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
Alright, so can you please give me link to the exact phone you bought from the shop?

It looks like that the flashing goes well for some people but it doesn't work for others because it looks like that not all H7100 phones have the same firmware installed on them. Only people that have the phone with the same firmware version as the androidia's would not have problems with flashing his rom/
[General Questions and Answers] Gilly1984:
Here is some pics of the phone.

Download "Android system info" from the play store, click hardware, then "build info", see my last pic. Does the hardware names look the same?

If it does then it should work on your device.

I had bought this phone, it came with kernel 3.40 but after flashing androidias's rooted rom it changed to kernel 3.0.13
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
Thank you for the photos! It seems that my phone is the same! I have ordered it 2 weeks ago and I am waiting for it's arrival. But just look at this picture from the store http://cloud3.faout.com/uploads/201212/heditor/201212111547255294.jpg

When I compare it with your picture of the back of your phone it is absolutely the same. So it looks like the rom would work on my phone too :)
[General Questions and Answers] Gilly1984:
Not sure if there is different board revisions because mine does NOT have this capacitor showing. (SEE PIC)

Maybe this is why people are having problems installing the rom.

Androidia, does your have this cap visible?
[General Questions and Answers] hardmaster92:
This is not capacitor

I"m interested to buy this phone. Can you anyone help re confirm 850/1900 wcdma is supported?? Can i get 3g + at best?

Also where did you buy yours? I see mixeshop has it for 135 us, with 10 dollar upgrade to 1gb ram. Is this a good deal?

I can confirm it supports both of them.

See pic of supported bands.
[General Questions and Answers] brotherman38:
I have this phone, I have yet to pickup 3G on 1900 on t-mobile in the Atlanta area. You can't go by what unclemobile app states! Don't know if its T-mobile or the phone :(.

But AT&T does work with this phone, but its using the 3G 850 band in the Atlanta area, AT&T gave the 1900 band to T-mobile, now I know why, it sucks for 3G service :(.

If you find different please report back. But I think the phone only support WCDMA 850/2100.

I bought mine at antelife for around 160 with a coupon and free shipping. I would highly recommend getting the 1GB model, atleast in my case Im always peaking over 600mbs of RAM usage :P

unclemobile says it supports both, but I have yet to pick up any 3G @ 1900mhz (Tmobile or ATT).

I'm rocking up to 1.7Mbp on ATT's 3G (850Mhz), using a NET10 simcard.

the bootloop is because u dont have the right boot.img

Of course I did that.

JB 4.1.2 + GPS Fix

Hello,

Can someone upload 4.1.2 rom + GPS fix for this phone and 2.5GB rooted, would be appreciated.

And i want to ask does anyone else have problems with Viber using this phone? (i sound like a robot when talking on Viber)

Skype never logs in when you activate video function, still stuck with a neverending logging in screen even after i uninstall and clear cache and reinstall.

so hoping that the new JB 4.1.2 can fix that.

Its perfect. , everything works fine on it. Including the gps.

As for your bricked phone, is it the S7180 or h7100? As you say its both. Remove battery and plug usb in, tell me what device manager on your pc sees it as.

Could you please tell me which androidias rom is, i did download a rom here that was already rooted with the 2.5gb memory, but it didnt work for making the gps better, viber and skype doesnt work properly either, it was JB 4.1.1.

This is the rom you need.

http://www.4shared.com/zip/Vh8bHOfx/H7100.html

Install this driver.

http://www.4shared.com/zip/j3l_2wr8/wwwx-driversru_mtk_and_usb_mtk.html

You need this to flash it.

http://www.4shared.com/rar/9FpIGh6g/SP_Flash_Tool_v3122401.html

Extract the rom to a folder named h7100 for easy reference.

Extract the flash tool to "flash tool" folder on desktop (Make the folder)

Run "Flash_tool.exe"

On the right hand side click on "Scatter-loading", navigate to h7100 folder created earlier and double click the scatter file.

Remove battery from phone, Press download on the sp flash tool, insert usb into phone, when phone is detected by sp_flash tool insert battery.

When it is finished, disconnect phone from use and switch on.

Thats it, everything should be working fine.

I have skype and gps working fine, I have had no problems with the rom.

Good luck.
