If your phone is a MTK device, you can try to port the TWRP recovery to your phone. But don't install the TWRP recovery if it isn't ported to your phone, because every phone have a own kernel in the recovery, and own mount points. You can try to port it to your phone with the port tool from yuweng. And then use this short-cut from me to get root acces over ADB (so first you must root your phone). But your phone must have the same screen resolution from 720x1280, because TWRP for the Allview p6 have this screen resolution, and TWRP have a template with a own resolution. But if you unpack a TWRP recovery image, you can edit the template in another resolution.

Blu Vivo 4.65, Allview P6 Stony, Fly IQ444 and NGM We Move legend XL all use identical hardware. These are all the same Chinese phones just sold by different resellers with different localization. So yes Soupysoup is right, don't flash software that isn't meant for your phone, but in this case you can consider the allview software as "meant" for your phone. I tested the Fly IQ 444 sofware from 4PDA.ru myself on my Allview. As a Dutchman I wasn't really fond of the russian signs though ;)

Note 1: Somehow the Fly IQ 444 boot image has remained on my phone even after flashing it with Allview software again, but it doesn't influance the way it works

Note 2: Everything you do is at your own risk :)

Note 3: Read Spit85's instructions on how to create a backup with SP flashtool. It will help you revive your phone after a brick

Note 4: Use SP flashtool version I add to this thread, I had problems with newer versions

Note 5: I haven't tested a lot with TWRP recovery. I had an unstable period with my phone and I am unsure if it was the rom or TWRP. The supplied CWM does work stable on my phone

How to Add "associate contacts to SIM" on your Allview P6 Stony

Hi all,

I've been working on this for weeks now and it looks like I am finally successful. Here is my How to Add "associate contacts to SIM" on your Allview P6 Stony.

Make sure you have root access, see post 1

Make a backup of your phone. See this usefull post from Split85 (see attachment in post above this one for right SP Flashtool version)

Start ES file explorer

Activate settings: "Up to root", "Root explorer" and "Mount File system"

In ES file explorer go to \system

Delete build.prop

Add build.prop from this post in \system

In ES file explorer go to \system\apps

Delete settings.apk, settings.odex, phone.apk, phone.odex, contacts.apk and contacts.odex

Place settings.apk, phone.apk and contacts.apk from this post in \system\apps

Reboot phone (with fingers crossed)

Tada in Sim settings you can now 1) activate associate contacts to SIM and 2) actually associate a contact to a sim

In contacts app you can also use settings icon to associate an opened contact to a SIM

Mind you: I have only been testing this for 5 minutes!!! I will later post what I did to all these files to make this work so that people with other phones might benefit from it too.

EDIT: Ignoring all this here and just downloading the app "SIM selector" from the play store also does the trick :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] forgiven90:
Thanks a bunch for this info. It lines up with what I've read earlier. I receive my phone Friday and I at least want to root it but we are really busy with living right now so I'll have to see on the ROM part yet. I'll report back with what I find out... :good:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
Don't forget to set the right permissions to the new files. And change the owner and the group to root, that for each file. You can do this with Root Explorer, of you long press on the file, you can choose in the menu to change the rights, but first mount the map in rw. By the permissions read is on by: Owner, Group; Others. By Write is only Owner on.

If you change the rights, long press on the file. In the menu you scroll down until you see "Change owner" There you choose for each new file that the Owner and the Group are "root".
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Salvolin:
Hi spit85,

Doesn't my step 4 take care of the right permissions? I haven't done the steps you described myself and all rights are -rw -rw -rw
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
Mostly the permissions are to much. Look at the apps in the folder, you will see that the other apps have other permissions. I don't mean the permissions for the folder that it is RW, so you can put new files in the folder. I mean the permissions for the new files you put in. Because you put new files in it, the got other permissions and other owners. Look at a file in the folder and you will see that the owner is root, and that the permissions for the files are different.

And if a file have to many rights, a virus, hacker ore something can make use of that weakness.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Salvolin:
I stand corrected. The original files indeed have less rights. Thanks for the addition.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Salvolin:
cry cry

The Associate contacts to SIM doesn's seem to work with my carkit. With a default sim selected it takes the default sim regardless of the sim association. With "allways ask" selected it takes the last sim used.

My car kit does do it right when I use the phone itself to dial, but that isn't really hands free now is it....

Spit85 do you happen to have a carkit? If so could you try if it works with SIM association on your P6 Quad? If yours does work I am going to try to learn how to edit the bluetooth APK :) but if on a original P6 quad it doesn't work either I am not going to waste my time on trying something impossible.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
I have a Bluetooth headset. With my old phone I push the button on the headset, speak de name I want to call, and the phone calls the contact. But now it only opening Google search, nothing else. Maybe that this problem go's away with a new Bluetooth headset, because the mine is already 8 years old. Ore maybe there is some app in the play store. But I don't have a car kit. Maybe it have something to do with the Bluetooth version the car kit use. If I want to call somebody I must use the phone, but that's fine with me, because I have a car kit holder for the phone.

[MENTION=4546066]spit85[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5184966]Salvolin[/MENTION] I have successfully rooted my new BLU VIVO 4.65 HD!! I had to use MTK Droid Root & Tools to do this. My question is since this is essensally the same phone as the P6 Stony can I just use one of the recovery.imgs listed here? I prefer TWRP because this is what I'm most used to... I was wanting to flash some dark gapps to use with the stock ROM. For only being ICS 4.0.4 this is a nice ROM on this phone. Thanks for your thoughts!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Salvolin:
Hi Forgiven90,

The CWM recovery img I posted works very stable on my phone. I tested the TWRP image Spit85 posted too and it also worked. But I tested TWRP whil emy phone was unstable. I don't know if this was due to my own editing of systems apps or due to the recovery img. I'd say make a SP Flashtool backup and use TWRP since that is what you are used too.

I am very confident that it's the same phone, so don't worry about that. Do check that you use the P6 Stony files not the P6 Quad files. The P6 quad looks the same but is a newer version. Blu vivo 4.65 = P6 Stony

A question from me to you. Does the Blu vivo 4.65 has the SIM association function in it's stock ROM? You can check this by

1) Going to Settings - SIM settings - and check if there is an option for either SIM binding or SIM association there that you can turn on or off

2) Going to Contacts - Settings image (bottom right) and check is it has an option "associate contact to SIM" or "Bind contact to SIM"

Also see the screenshot spit 85 posted here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43316342&postcount=33) about his SIM settings. It shows the option I am looking for.

I know the allview P6 Stony and the Fly IQ444 don't have the option. The NGM We Move legend XL does have it, and I am not sure about the Blu Vivo 4.65, thats why I am asking. I build the functionality myself, but it isn't 100% stable...

Regards,

Salvolin

If you have the original recovery, the screen pixel size, and if you know your board version, twrp can be ported to your phone. I can do it for you, if you give it to me.

Oké, I must edit my answer. If it is the exact same phone as the stony. Only a other brand name, it must work. Only if your brand name have other mount points, it doesn't work and you have to port your recovery. Or unpack the recovery and change recovery.fstab to the right mount points, if you know them, then repack the recovery image. Use android kitchen tools to do that.

Verstuurd van mijn Cyclone Voyager 2 met Tapatalk
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] forgiven90:
Thanks for the offer to port... as far as board version, are u

referring to the chipset as in MT6577t ? And I'm afraid I don't know the right mount points, pretty much a noob where recoveries are concerned. I will try to find the exact specs of the Stony and compare with mine, good idea!

I also had a few problems with certain versions of TWRP and found either 2.3.3.0 or 2.5.0.0 to be stable on my HTC.but I'm thinking it depends on the device also...

I looked for the settings and can't find any SIM settings like that. The closest I found was when I set up a new contact I have the option to save it to one of the Sims, sorry I can't help more on this. I use Google and like having all my contacts associated with that, so...

Also if I'm using Uncle tools do I still need to set up the SP flash tool for the backup? I'm a bit handicapped right now, lighting fried my usb ports on my laptop so, not very handy!

Thanks for all ur help guys :)

Edit: not only Uncle tools but MTKdroidTools v2.4.7
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Salvolin:
When you "play" with mobile uncle tools, rom manager or system apps it is allways wise to have a sp flashtool backup. Because if you make a mistake you can "brick" your phone. Once that happend it won't start anymore and you need another way to revive it. Sp flash tool is such an other way.

Regards,

Salvolin

P.s and you definetly want those usb ports fixed :)

Hello Guys!

I have bought a Blu Vivo 4.65 (will arrive this week). I would like tips to upgrade my phone. Can I use this root/recovery method to my phone? Did some of you get a recente android OS update that works in this phone? Seems a very nice piece of hardware, it's a shame Blu don't upgrade her phones...

Thanks!

The root method described here should work.

Same for the SP flashtool and recovery (CWM and TWRP)

hello guys, i also have a brand new Allview P6 Quad and it satisfies all my needings. Only one problem i have, when i tried to root it i came acros a series of problems wich i solved them and now, when i tried to get into recovery mode on the screen appears the image attached below and after 4, 5 minutes the phone restarts and boots normally as when i open it. Also want to mention when i go to developer settings i have only USB Debugging, no "Allow mock locations" or other settings. Not to mention any more that when i connect it to computer with usb debugging conected it cannot be found by them rooting tools, Byn4ry or motochopper. Any suggestions ? Thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
If you enable usb debug mode and connect the phone to the computer, you must install the adb drivers for the phone, otherwise it doesn't work and no software on your computer finds the adb port (usb debug).

And if you see that screen in the recovery mode, press the power button for short, then the next screen will come.

There are other firmwares for the same model, but another brand name. But they are almost the same. But you can use titanium backup to un install apps installed in de Rom. But don't un install the wrong app. Always make a backup from your phone with Sp Flash Tool.

Linking contacts to SIM

Hello at all,

A very interesting thread, even though I don't own the Allview P6. :good:

But I have had several MTK6575/MTK6577-phones in the past, and now one with MTK6589-chipset.

Only Acer Liquid Gallant Duo (MTK6575) had this great feature: to attach a contact to desired SIM and to dial it using this SIM WITHOUT asking again.

My solution on all MTK phones is the little app "Sim Selector" on Google Play (please search for it because I dont have the rights to post a link).

It sits on the left in the status bar, and you let it better sit there instead to remove the icon.

You can program several number patterns and assign them to the desired SIM. Very good is the logic: longer patterns (i.e. +4971123) have higher priority against shorter patterns (+49711). So, you can distinguish everything you want. In our example: I call every fixed number in Stuttgart (+49711) with my private SIM, but only my company number block (+4971123) with my business SIM.

There are many settings in the app. You could play arround to find the best for you. In "Settings->Way to Call", I use Mode 5, "Delay" is set to 0,16. In the main settings of my phone I have set one of the cards to default in order not to display the stock-choice message.

Good luck and please post some feedback.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fury3D:
Hi. Actually i have solved this problem. I downloaded SuperSU on Playstore and installed, give the permissions, update library, reboot and in the SuperSu settings i had uninstalled Superuser.apk.

Remeber, after get TWRP installed, do a full backup and backup it on a secure place, believe me you can need it.

root problem - missing developers option

Hello, I have an Allview P6 quad which camed with Android 4.1.2 ( jelly bean) preinstalled and I'm having torubles rooting the device.

Firstly I can't see the "Allow mock locations" option, nor do any option but the "USB debug" one. I've tried the trick where you have to tap the build number to unhide the developers options but nothing happened. The only interesting thing that happens is if I tap the android version tag, a screen pops up with a red beam telling me "Android 4.1.2" and if I continue tapping, I get a screen where I can toss and throw beams around.

I have tried 3 out of 5 options from the bat executable provided on this thread with no luck, they all give me errors (which I don't remember now), but I guess that is because of the missing option.

Does anyone have any idea about how to unhide advanced developer options on this device with this android version?

Thanks for mentioning this app. Using it now on my Allview P6 Stony. I specially like the option where you can set the app to ask once what to do with an unknown number. In my opinion this way of associating a number to a SIM works better than the default way provided on some phones. Well and sice the Stony has no default way this app is much easier than all the editing I did!!

I did ask the developper if he could add a feature to associate all numbers on a specific account to a SIM. Like all G-Mail contacts to the private SIM and all Exchange contacts to the company SIM. That would be very usefull (for me). No reaction on that yet, but nonetheless a great app to use.

Oh and. As fas as I tested in these few days, this APP does work with my carkit!!!

extend userdata partition

Hello,

Today i got a new p6 quad and i want to extend userdata partition (internal sdcard partition completely disabled), can somebody guide me how to do this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spit85:
That doesn't work on your p6 quad. I tried to re-size some partitions so i can flash a bigger recovery image. But after flashing the phone with a custom skatter file, the phone freezes on the bootlogo. I also tried to change the skatter file with a bigger data (userdata) partition, and remove the internal sd, but there was the same problem: the phone freezes on the bootlogo.

You can try to change the skatter file for your self, and flash the partitions on your phone but i'm afraid that doesn't work. With some bad luck you will brick your phone.

The best way to save some space, after installing many apps, is to place large apps on the external sd. Or install Titanium Backup, to integrate system updates into the rom.
