[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sifat3d:
The symphony W125 is running a rather custom Version of jb 4.1.2.

Binary,super one click etc doesn't work,

The phone was rebranded from xolo q800,

So tried its rooting method,

But it seems symphony changed the ROM,memory block locations AND POSSIBLY CLOSED THE LOOPHOLES in the preloader.

Xolo q800 rooting method =no recovery,untouched OS.

Fail.

This is one hell of a unrootable mt6589

:sly:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
Then my friend .. you should try this .zip file located in my thread ... flash it through CWM ..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40547129
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sifat3d:
To flash that zip, a custom recovery is required,

Symphony w125 has a basic stock recovery,

And attempting to flash a custom recovery via flash tool erases the recovery entirely.

First we need to get some kind of custom recovery on that device,

And without root=no stock recovery.

No stock recovery=no custom recovery.

Its a vicious circle.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
well can you pull the stock recovery.img from your phone and provide it here .... then i will try tom compile one cwm besed on stock then you can use my script to root your jb ....

Now type in adb :

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

Akta file recovery.img name sdcard e joma hobe....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sifat3d:
As I said above,

I cant pull the stock recovery without Root,

the "su" terminal command requires root to work.

No root=cant pull stock recovery.

no stock recovery=no custom recovery.

No custom recovery=No root.

....

...

Its a vicious circle...

:/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
Oh then use SP flashtools to pull the recovery.img ... :good: and with sp flash tools you dont need root ....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sifat3d:
Would you mind telling me HOW to pull the recovery using sp flashtool?

BTW There is no "scatter file" for the MT6589 used on the W125.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
every MTK device has an scatter file for it ... use mtk droid tools to get the scatter file and use this guide to pull the recovery ...

http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sifat3d:
I no longer have access to the device but,

Pulling the scatter file was successful,

The boot.img has also been pulled(Not by me).

I cant find the recovery partition.

So I cant pull it.

(Check russel bro's reply below)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hsrussel:
I used cat /proc/mtd > /sdcard/firmware.info command and

No recovery there. Could it be because -- my recovery is also gone due to wrong flashing?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
use this command ... cat /proc/dumchar_info

and see if the recovery and boot img block is still in there ... !!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hsrussel:
Yes it has I have attached the text file.

By the way bdcoder I am a great fan of you. You saved my Walton primo from the same fate :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ammo2297:

Bro thanks alot for the w25 files...but can u please tell me how to unroot symphony w25?..i want to know so that i can unroot it if i need to claim my warrenty...your doing an awesome job for bd people...looking foreword to more posts!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
the file is already attached to the thread .... anyway here is the link in case u didnt notice ...

http://www.4shared.com/rar/vFxjKEF5/rootunroot.html

you will find a zip file unroot .. just flash it through cwm and the superuser and the binary will be removed ....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
all right gud news then ....

now thye this in adb ... to get your frimware.info .... to sdcard ....

#su
#cat /proc/dumchar_info > /mnt/sdcard/frimware.info

then use mtk rom studio to generate mtk scatter file and then read back recovery.img using sp flash tools ...

or here is the scatter file besed on your info .... just replace the XX with the number of your device .... btw .. the info is pulled from which device ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ammo2297:
Thanks!

thank you soo much...i jst wanted to know one more thing....will i have to lock my bootloader cus i want to be able to claim my warranty incase somthing happens
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hsrussel:
The device is Symphony w125. I have already soft bricked the device.... I tried to flash the recovery again and put a wrong address ...now the Device does not start and only remainns in but loop. whenever i connect it to data cable or charger it goes into bootloop to as a result adb is not working... neither the flash program...i think i Will have to send it to their technical centre..may be sifat3d can provide the recovery image..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ammo2297:
1 question :)P

thanks bro....i wanted to know 1 more thing...will i also have to lock the bootloader if i want to use the warranty again? thanks :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
you dont have to worry bro ... you dont have any locked bootloader ( or in case you think you have unlocked it :p).... lock bootloader can only be found in xperia device ...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
well sorry bro but your conversation doesnt make any sence ... :confused:

if you flashed the wrong recovery then the block of the recovery get messed not the boot loader !!!! ( if and only if you didnt touch the preloader and dsp_bl ) . so your device should boot up !!!! .... and if you dont have adb then how can you full the txt file that you have provided earlier !!!!! . and flash tool works in preloader mode ... faild to boot have nothing to do with flash tools but you have said ...

if your flash tool is giving any error then provide the error code or messege here ... ( giving error or tool not working !!!!! :confused: )

well your profile says you live in dhaka then you have one good choice bro ....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Ammo2297:
Great!

oh great!!thanks alot for all the help bro!well then i think im gunna start rooting my phone!!again thanks alot!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hsrussel:
First of all, sorry for the delayed response. I did not notice your comment, somehow missed the notification.

Regarding the confusion:

1. After I got the scatter file as Adviced by u, i tried to flash the recovery once again, but this time I mistook the address also, that somehow did something nasty to the phone..result was whenever i tried to power on it would go Into boot loop.

2. I could not work with ADB because whenever i connected the phone it went into boot loop...and the Device was not listed with adb devices Command. All this happened AFTER the text i submitted To you.

3. I went to their Mohakhali service centre and i Must say their service level Is Much better compared To the Well known brands.. I am done with Nokia After N900, now possibly will say bye bye to Samsung also.

Anyway, received the phone back today all shipshape..tomorrow I will try To send the recovery..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sifat3d:
Hi,

Tahmid boss from Androidkothon has succesfuly rooted the Symphony W125 & made a custom recovery.

Check the below link.

http://www.androidkothon.com/post-id/3475

And for your soft bricked device,

you can flash the stock rom of russian phone FLY IQ446 MAGIC using flashtool.

You can also use the custom roms and mods of that device.

Just search google (4pda.ru) & use google translate.

Good luck.

:thumbup:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
be careful about whatever you flash .... the scatter file i have provided is based on the dumchar_info that you have provided ... if you are trying to flash the recovery then only trick the RECOVERY in sp flash tools and leave the rest untricked .... this way you wont messed up the boot or any partition ..... :good:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hsrussel:
I tried to read back the recovery.img through the flash tool, but getting an error message... I have attached the screenshot.

Edit:

I have rooted by the method provided in Android Kothon. Thanks to Mr. Tahmid, but I am not willing to try the recovery before I can get the original recovery image out from my ROM. Thanks..

Edit:

I have tried your script . dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/sdcard/recovery.img this returns-- /dev/block/mmcblk0p16: cannot open for read: No such file or directory

no such file mean you have choosen the wrong block .....

now that you have rooted then u can pull recovery using adb easily .....

first identify your recovery block ..... type ...

$adb shell

or

#cat /proc/dumchar_info

then replace the block of recovery with emmcblk0p16 then try ... :good:

misc 0x0000000000080000 0x0000000003380000 2 /dev/block/mmcblk0

When i try to Copy mmcblk0, it creates a huge file. I have A slight suspicion that it should be memory block in the line next to it, i.e. mmcblk0p4, because the start address of that line matches with the address of recovery.img ..requesting advice.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
thats gud ..... u dont have to worry now ..... now make a frimware.info file using this command then using mtkrom studio make the scatter file then load the scatter file to sp flash tools and then use read back option to get your stock recovery ..

here is the detailed guide .... http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/04/creating-rom-dump-of-your-mt65x3-device.html

just replace the ca /proc/mtd command with cat /proc/dumchar_info > /sdcard/frimware.info
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hsrussel:
That only returns the screenshot I posted earlier.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] thebdcoder:
you will get your stock recovery just enter the correct hexadecimal in read back you have mentioned that you are getting a big size is blocks. That means wrong hexadecimal input.... Btw someone has attached a recovery in previous post... have you tried that....
