Sounds like you have screwed up the flash,what have you been doing.

what instruction did you use??.....Take out battery and put back after a few minuets see what happens. flashing just recovery is hard to mess up.?.

I am a bit lost to understand what you have done completely.

you will need to explain step by step what you did....

Ciao forziere, sto avendo grossi problemi a capire esattamente centrale quello che hai fatto e come si è arrivati ​​al punto in cui sei ora .. per ora togliere la batteria per un breve periodo e sostituire e vedere che cosa happens.if nessuna gioia tornare a dirmi me quello che hai fatto passo passo e utilizzare questo traduttore così posso completamente capire voi, applausi sas007

Mi Smartphone is:

v89_jbl1a668_fwvga_20130401

Is the same smartphone of this Thread? Cause I want to root but I don´t know if we are talking about the same model :o

PS: Also, if so... Is there new firmwares change logs? Cause I don´t know if my "Call" screen is normal, when someone is calling I see the picture in half top of screen but in the bottom there is a black background.

Thank you guys...

Wrong resolution

Hi! I have this phone, but there is an issue. With this rom v89_jbl1a668_20130422 my phone is outputing a resolution of 960x540, even that I have the 854x480 screen.

I think that this may happened from a badly ported rom from QhD version.

I just runned antutu and it say's that my screen resolution is 540x960 but it isn't in fact. I am pretty sure, as before I updated the rom it said 858 x 480.

So, this may cause my device run a bit slower. Is there any idea how to fix this?

Another question: I had before n9770 and it wa an excelent phone, I only swapped because s7189 is a quadcore, 1gb ram, etc. However, the n9770 had a camera that was astonishing, it didn't lag in dark places and took great photos. S7189's camera lag very much on dark places and the funny thing is that I think that the sensor was the same as n9770. Any idea if this as any fix?

Regards.
[Android General] sas007:
Yes root using Motochopper tool from page one...
[Android General] sas007:
Reflash latest stock firmware.so you must be running custom rom if you have wrong screen res.Resolution 854x480 pixels HD screen is stock.

as for camera try different apps from play..if you believe is sensor flash correct firmware..if your device has wrong resolution flashed then anythiong on the screen will look bad..
[Android General] sas007:
I do not understand mate..I do not know what you are trying to do and you make no sense...

if you are trying to flash make sure you click DOWNLOAD on spflashtool before you connect or put in battery.with device OFF load firmware..click download in spflashtool..with device off and battery in connect to computer and should flash.

Mixed up

Hello again I am trying to flash CWM to get the latest rom cos my phone is not working. (no mobile internet on either sim. NO GPS in France! but UK OK)

I have a complicated question

I have rooted and have the drivers installed as confirmed by MTKDroid Root and Tools.

I seem to have a mixture of RX and LX phones (pls. see devices property screen shot..)

I have tried to use SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe, with the appropriate settings, but I get this error No bootrom USB port was found.. (see screenshot 2)

Any advice gratefully received...
[Android General] atinwi:
Firstly, thank you for your reply

Build date UTC : 20130507-081743

I just want to get cwm on and hopefully fix the mobile data issue. I was trying to flash an all in one job..I would gladly take any advice on which one to choose.

In fact I am a bit confused by all of this although I have rooted and installed custom ROMs on a few phones, this one is quite obscure and it is proving difficult! (I am old)

I couldn't get the SP flash tool to work and I have got no idea how to make another one from my firmware!

cheers
[Android General] sas007:
The latest stock firmware for your device is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43412673#post43412673 post #172

with the latest flashtool..try cwm with this flashtool and see what happens

post everything from settings/about phone of your device.

kernel,build,model,base band version.

you will need to make sure usb/adb drivers are installed on computer before flashtool will work look at post #162

CWM and root tool is on page one,Rooting is easy,make sure usb debugging is ticked in developer options on device connect to computer,run tool(double click RUN ME BAT) and follow instuctions in POP UP.

I will be happy to make a CWM for you if you still have bother.I will make from the above firmware (latest stock) so if you manage to flash latest stock the CWM will be good.

I already Rooted it, with your help, so I believe that the drivers are okay, no?

I have slightly different settings than those of the latest stock firmware so I attempted to use MDT flashtool but there I got the "no bootrom USB port was found" error as in the screen shot...

I have been at this all day and I am going slightly crazy – I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers are so many times.

Please treat me like a complete FOOL because I feel like one.

I will upload all the information I have about my phone in the screenshots below.

[/COLOR]I really would still Appreciate help in getting clockwork mod and a new ROM onto this phone[/QUOTE]

you would need to talk to you sim provider to enable 3G roaming in that case as this fone works on 3G i have no problems in the UK.

Okay you need to download firmware (when i post.)and flashtool from post 172..get all device drivers installed on computer.see earlier post.

this is how to flash http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html

wait till tomorrow to flash as i will make a cwm in the morning put it into firmware so you flash it all in on go,I will upload and post link here to firmware with integrated CWM.

once that is done we will talk rooting.

just in case ADB drivers:http://ge.tt/2yL21VT
[Android General] DarwinKamikaze:
A couple of things I noticed and wanted to mention:

Modem version - You say you have data troubles on the mobile network. I noticed in that picture that your "modem version" has nothing printed below it, perhaps it's normal for your version of the device, but this seems odd to me. Could this mean your firmware doesn't have proper support for your mobilenetwork/modem chipset, or could it even be a hardware error with that chip? Under that heading I have printed:

band: Band 1+5(2100+850)

I'd assume if this was the case you wouldn't have phone call capability either though?

Memory - mine is listed as ROM(64), though I think ROM(32) is normal for the LQ version, so might not be an issue (can someone confirm?)

The above is probably nothing, but I did notice it and wanted to point it out.

One other thing, the "BOOTROM NOT DETECTED" error you're getting in the MDT tool makes it sound like you could be following the instructions incorrectly or perhaps the MediaTek VCOM driver is still not installed properly... I only say that because of a post mentioned in the following thread for flashing a completely different STAR phone with a mediatek chipset: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-s9300-2/

The user says they weren't removing and re-inserting the battery. Are you definitely doing that as part of your steps? It's absolutely necessary...

Thanks for posting that image BTW, I'll add it to the wiki as another known version when I get a moment.
[Android General] atinwi:
Thanks for your message

I checked again and the modem setting was hidden below the bottom of the screen.

It does in fact say the same: band: band 1+5 (2100+850)

As regards that media tek drivers

This might be the problem.

But I assumed the drivers were okay as I managed to root the phone – using Windows to reboot the phone etc.. but i can't see the drivers in the device manager 'ports ' section.. So that might be it…

I was definitely taking the battery out each time...

If it is the drivers, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong to install them... perhaps there is a foolproof method – there's no fool like an old fool!

Rooting Help

Hello Friends , I am New to Android Xdk , i just bought star S7189

5.0 MTK6589 quad core 1.2GHz capacitive touch screen

Android 4.2.1

So i am new to android but i heard about rooting that it makes your phone work like a charm and also battery backup improves and also os runs faster

so i don't know anything about rooting is there is anyone who can help me root my phone who can tell me step by step procedure through which i can root my phone ...

thanks in advance
[Android General] sas007:
I would take some time to read the thread and learn a few things..see page one for root tool...

Rooting is easy,make sure usb debugging is ticked in developer options on device connect to computer,run tool(double click RUN ME BAT) and follow instructions in POP UP.
[Android General] DarwinKamikaze:
I could be wrong, but I think rooting just requires the ADB drivers installed, and doesn't need the mediatek ones.

What version of Windows do you run? I've heard of issues with Windows 8.

Perhaps try using the Windows USBDeview app to see what USB drivers are installed, removing all mediatek drivers, and doing a fresh re-install of the drivers by following a guide, like this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2206421
[Android General] sas007:
Yes you are right but you do indeed need both sets of drivers,ADB are required for the rooting but also that wont happen without the usb drivers for computer to connect in the first place.

and USBeveiw is the best way to go if you want to start clean.I would remove every usb driver as they are simple to reinstall as apposed to the ADB.

if you read the thread i have already posted on this look at post #162 if it helps.

:confused: I Have a problem with this Smartphone. It happens only when I turn it on (but not always).

When the phone starts It says "Extracted SD Card" showing the icon of the SD. And when this happen at the same time another things occurs like Location Service is disable and another accessibility services are disable also (despite they show as enable in menu).

Also, I thought that the SD Card I have could be incorrectly inserted cause when I put it there was no click, but double check and I think there is no click in this phone for SD Card.

The solution is RESTARTING the smartphone, if it were a Software issue.

PLEASE HELP :(
[Android General] sas007:
The only way to see if it is a software/firmware fault is to flash a new ROM .If this don't do anything to alleviate the problem then it could be a hardware fault with sd card phone holder/mounts.
[Android General] cabrote:
Now I can see that what really happens is that sometimes (1 of 3 times) when I turn on the phone there are some services that the SO don´t starts, so some widgets tell me to start their services, Google maps tell me to start location services and SD is removed. So, if like NO SERVICES LOADS AT STARTUP

The solution: I simple restart the phone and the next boot all works like charm. So It must be a software error, or maybe a memory issue I don´t know.

you can flash just CWM if you want and tutorial is in thread but it is best to flash all in one.but old cwm may not work with newer firmware but there is a new cwm posted by someone else.

as you see i have just posted new firmware for this device,But i have not used or tested but it has been tried by someone else and works fine on this device.

newer firmware.with hardware differences in cameras etc,so be careful as could be a clone of a clone made by different factory's.
