ROOT from zip file for CUBOT A8809 - Easy!

I just rooted my Cubot A8809 with the ZIP file method found here. It took 2 min in total.

The easiest method to root:

- charge your battery at least over 50%

- download the zip file below

- open the ZIP file from your computer

--- inside you will find a folder called ROOT

--- inside ROOT there are 2 text files, and 1 ZIP file called CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus_madnorb.zip

--- copy CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus_madnorb.zip to your INTERNAL STORAGE (NOT the SD card - I don't even have an SD card installed, just the 2GB internal storage of the phone). You can do this by plugging your phone to your computer with the USB cable.

IMPORTANT! The file you need to get on your phone is CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus_madnorb.zip, and NOT the a8809root.zip (this is where people get it wrong)

Don't create any folders on your INTERNAL STORAGE for this, just place the file there.

- unplug your USB cable from your phone

- turn OFF the phone

- hold the VOLUME UP button and the POWER button pressed for a few seconds to go into RECOVERY MODE.

--- a green "droid" may appear on screen with a warning sign (!) on top

- press the PROPERTIES button (|=| icon) on the bottom-left side of your phone to get the actual CWM options

- navigate with the VOLUME buttons and select - update from sd

- confirm with the big middle button (home button... i don't know how it's called)

- navigate again with the VOLUME buttons until the file CWM-SuperSU-v0.93_tirannozaurus_madnorb.zip is highlighted.

- press the big middle button again to confirm

- wait a few seconds until it says "update complete" or something like that

- navigate again to select "reboot phone" or restart... or something

DONE! your CUBOT A8809 is ROOTED

before android loads, it may say: ANDROID IS UPDATING (it takes 3-4 sec)

I tested it with a File Manager, and now I have ROOT privileges, I can see all the root folders, etc.

It just displayed "ROOT privileges granted" or something like that. If you want more control, download the Superuser app or SuperSU from Google Play. This way you will get alerts and grant super user privileges to only the applications that you want.

There is also a file called eng mode.txt in there (Engineer Mode). It's actually a code *#*#3646633#*#*. If you enter this code in your phone dialer you go into Engineer Mode. This is only for ADVANCED USERS. Trust me! You can test GPS, WiFi, screen, signal strenght, hardware etc... but you can also break your phone if you don't know what you are doing!

A BIG THANK YOU to whoever made the zip file, and all of this possible.

Thank you and GOOD LUCK!

CUBOT A8809 GPS problem

If the root method helped, now maybe somebody can help me with the GPS problem on the CUBOT A8809. It doesn't get a fix.

I tried the GPS Test app, grey satellites and nothing... no fix

entered Engineer mode with the *#*#3646633#*#* code, but YGPS just shows red satellites, and again no fix. (this was done outside with a clear sky, of course)

I read somewhere that it can be a hardware problem (antenna is too small and can't recieve the signal), but I want to make sure. Maybe can some settings can be changed... modify a file...

my android ver. is 4.1.1

sorry to post this here, but I need directions, please!

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darko150:
I think that is for a malfunction of GPS fault driver. I wanted existing driver that is from Custom Rom / system / app / YGPS.apk replaced by the factory driver.

I have a Nandroid backup of the factory ROM (file: boot.img, cache.img, data.img, system.img and nandroid.md5).

But I do not know where this factory driver is located. How removed from Nandroid backup and put in a cell phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msimsi10:
I have never had any problems updating roms before and I have been using XenonHD for a long time. I've been trying to update to the 4.2.1 and it will not make it past the boot screen at all. It's driving me crazy! I have soft-bricked this phone 4 times trying this update. The 4.2.1 CyanogenMod 10 - Nightly worked perfectly for me and I don't know what else to try to get this update to work. Anyone else having these issues??

I have the Verizon Galaxy Nexus let me know if any more info is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] italbomber:
Chances are it could be a corrupt download. This does happen from time to time. I updated with no problem. I would suggest to redownload the ROM again and then make a nandroid. Then reboot to recovery and do a full wipe of cache system factory and davlik. Do each twice to be sure. Try to re flash again and see what happens. Good Luck.

[HTC EVO 3D] deja_geek:
Ok, I am banging my head against the wall trying to figure this damn issue out. I have s-off via the Wiretrick method. I have tried 1.04 ENG, Juopunutbear's 1.50, 1.57, and 1.58, and Revolutionary hboot 1.40 Hboots. They were all flashed via the boot loader. I am running the latest 4ext recovery, and before that I was running TWRP 1.1.1. I seem to be able to boot into ICS roms just fine, (Harmonia and DigitalHigh MIUI) How ever though, I can not get booted into any Jellybean rom I try. I've tried Slimbean, AOKP, and DigitalHigh Miui JB. Wtf am I doing wrong, and how do I go about fixing it?

Thanks,

Deja
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Did you do the "fix everything" thread?

Here's what I would recommend:

1. Flash the VM RUU.

2. Boot into the stock ROM and download and flash the OTA.

3. Flash a custom bootloader (JBear 1.50.5050 works well with both 4EXT and TWRP)

4. Use fastboot to flash 4EXT or recovery

5. Format "all partitions except SD card" in 4EXT

6. Flash and boot whatever AOSP based ROM you want

If you can't get the OTA via "System updates" in settings after flashing the RUU, follow the instructions for S-OFF users in this post to download and install it.

I think that will fix your booting problems. If all that works and you prefer TWRP you should be able to flash 2.3.3.0 after performing the above steps and still flash and boot most ROM's successfully.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] deja_geek:
Will this take me backt to a locked bootloader that I have to do the wiretrick on again to get S-OFF? What am I downloading with the OTA? Also, it's a Virgin Mobile Evo V.. some of these links take me to donwloads labeled sprint. Is that going to be an issue?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
1. No.

2. OTA Updates the base VM stock firmware and ROM.

3. VM USA is part of Sprint. Everything I recommended is compatible with the Evo V 4G.

4. No.

5. If you want to try to fix it another way that's fine with me.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] deja_geek:
Did not mean to offend. I just noticed I didn't say Evo V on my orginal post and wanted to make sure I wasn't going to brick the phone. Thanks for the help, I will give this method a test. Just one more quick question (if you're willing to induldge me). I don't have a windows machine persay... my laptop(s) run linux with Windows Virtual Machines (Virtualbox) can I use those Virtual Machines?

Thanks a ton!

Deja
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
That might work if you install the HTC drivers but this is probably a better way:

1. Download the VM RUU.exe to a Windows virtual machine.

2. Use the method in this post to extract the rom.zip file and rename it to PG86IMG.zip.

3. Flash the RUU from your current bootloader.

The rest of the steps should be doable on Linux as long as you have the ADB/fastboot directory setup.

BTW, as soon as you mentioned Harmonia I knew you have an Evo V 4G since nobody uses that on the Evo 3D. ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] DroidManIc:
I'm having the same issue. I will lose root and my custom recovery after flashing stock ruu right?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
Yes, but if you are s-off, you'll remain that way. Then you can just flash a custom hboot and recovery and then ROM and you're set. If your s-on, you'll have to reroot after unlocking through HTCdev.
[HTC EVO 3D] DroidManIc:
Alright, so I flashed stock ruu updated to ics and updated everything else. I remained S-off and unlocked bootloader.if I read this correctly now I flash recovery> flash SU (for root)>and finally reflash JB room?

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
There is no need to root the stock ROM unless you want to nandroid it that way.

Since you are S-OFF and have unlocked the bootloader (or if you flashed a custom bootloader) you can use the "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img" command to flash your custom recovery, then wipe and flash a custom ROM. Make sure to flash an hboot lower than the stock 1.58 version before flashing a JB ROM.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
And to add to that, I'd use one of the custom bootloaders. I use 1.4 revolutionary myself.
[HTC EVO 3D] DroidManIc:
Ok ill give it a shot. The thing is that I had originally installed Jbear custom hboot and had the same issue. I downgraded to 1.4 same issue. But ill retry. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] DroidManIc:
If I flash hboot 1.40 via bootloader will stock ROM boot ok so I can rename file to get back into recovery via bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
No. The stock ICS ROM will not. Do you have the micro sd to sd card adapter to use in your computer?
[HTC EVO 3D] DroidManIc:
Duh of course don't know how I forgot that. Well I redid the whole process and now I'm on MIUI JB. Thanks again guys!
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
Can i use the same vm ruu you linked? im on boost mobile

Thanks

Also, what exactly is the problem that causes these bootloops in the first place?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
No, but here's a guide you can use instead.

As to what causes it, nobody has identified the specific reason, but in general terms it seems to be caused by mixing and matching various firmware and ROM updates.

It's like the GB and AOSP ROM's not booting with the stock (1.57/1.58) hboots. Nobody has identified why they don't work so we just downgrade them to work around the problem.

[HTC EVO 3D] birddseedd:
thanks in advance ramjet.

is there a way to do this without ruu? if i ruu my phone will be set for sprint again and not boost which will cost me about 100 bucks in money and time to get back to boost.

thanks again
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I've been a Sprint user for a long time so I don't know what's involved in flashing the Evo 3D to Boost, but here's a post from a Cricket user that might help.

Anything you do to modify your phone is at your own risk so you will need to decide if it is safe or not. I suggest using Google to get more feedback about using the RUU when when flashed to another carrier.

[HTC EVO 3D] birddseedd:
its not as much about breaking it. ill just loose the clone and will have to have it redone. where can i get the newest firmware and radio?
[HTC EVO 3D] birddseedd:

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
If you could keep this problem contained to one or two threads, preferably in the Q&A forum, it would be much easier to track your current status. I checked your recent posts and you are reporting the same problem in at least four JB ROM threads and two Q&A threads, one of which you started for this issue.

Well about the boot animation thing, you can't change it on stock because it this galaxy doesn't use zip files for It but qmg type file. You will need to flash a custom rom that support zip. I use RazoDroiD by rajrocks and it's pretty smooth ;)

Hi guy. I have a signal problem with my SGS. I'm using Slim Bean 3.1. I've encountered this problem ever since I updated the phone to Android 4 (from the official Samsung system I got it with). It's not a regular signal problem, I get the actual "no service" message all the time. It happens at places where no one else has a problem. It says it can't find my operator but it sometimes finds other operators (which my sim card obviously doesn't allow me to connect to). I actually need to click the "no service" message, and search and choose a network. It's not a problem with my operator, I think it's s problem with the actual hardware. The part that's in charge of finding signal is probably worn out.

Is there any way I can check to see if I'm right? Is there anything I can do to solve this even if I'm wrong, from what you have been experiencing with this phone? Something I haven't done or set properly?

So i had setup and tested both apps at home over WiFi and the talk quality seemed perfectly fine, but I was a bit disappointed when I went out on a work day and tried to make some calls over 3G, it did not work out so well. It also does not help that I live in such a rural area with lack of coverage in some areas, but I can say that voice calls on my phone come in crystal clear. I've had either static, echo or bad delay time in voice transition.

So I'm wondering what other people have experienced trying to make VOIP calls over 3 G instead of WiFi, and if anyone has any tips, other than just use my phone.

I think the apps need better compression for when they work on 3G.

It really just sounds like a carrier issue. I use groove IP with att grandfathered unlimited data and when I'm at work call quality is considerably lower because of spotty signal.
