So the first person who makes completely working miui or cm10.1 or both will get 100-150 dollars
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
does this offer still stand?

If so, I will give it a go.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogozx:
Yes, it still stands, but i found out that CM10.1 is currently impossible to make, so you can try with MIUI V5.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
so how did you make the nexus rom for it?

The issue is that I do not own the phone, but I am looking at porting CM to MTK6589.

MIUI porting is a bit different, it would not involve kernel compiling per se I believe (CM either, but I would like to).

To give it a go, I would need info from here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

So your ROM version, partition info etc.

When I manage to port to a device I own, I can give it a go.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogozx:
It's not really Nexus ROM, it's just stock ROM modified to look like stock Android.

I have Android 4.2.1

I will PM you the partition info.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
Just started with practicing on my Nexus 7 :). I ordered the same model as well, N9389.

I also have a N9599, let's see how far I get :).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogozx:
Wow, it seems that you have alot of money to order it just because you want to develop ROM for that phone.

Good luck man, if you need any help message me :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
Well, not really, but I like to spend money on those things.

When the ROM works I'll sell it :).

Well dump info and the stuff on the CM porting page is still usefull.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogozx:
I will be testing those ROMs that you make for N9389, is it OK?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
i compiled my first recovery based on cm 10.1 for Thl W8.

I have no easy way to push the image to the phone to test.

If it works, I can start to create a recovery for this phone based on sources.

I would need that info I requested.

Are you able to post the build.prop file and the partition dump?

Look at the page with instructions I posted earlier.

Meantime I look for an easy way to flash that recovery, somehow sp flashtool does not read the scatter file created by mtkdroidtools :(.

cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
you are welcome :).

I do still need the information I mentioned once I get it working.

Especially the partition info is important.

You may always hit the thanks button when you are happy :).

I am currently working on CWM 6 to get working.

I'll post when I have progress (or when I quit :) ).

You can always give it a go yourself:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

cheers!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
So, like I requested before, please :

- post your build.prop file

- post identification stuff of the device, like screen resolution, memory and recovery.fstab (or the recovery image)

- in general take a look at the link I posted before and read it, so you know what info is needed :

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

The reason I ask is because there are at leat 2 different versions, 1 had 960x480 screen and 1/4gb ram/rom, the other 1280x720 and 2/8.

They obviously at least have different partitions and displays and perhaps even other different hardware.

You can also post a full working ROM on dropbox or something.

thanks

P.S. for the needed tools, see here:

This is a CWM 6.0.3.3 which works on my device.

Use SP Flash Tools 3.13 something to flash.

My scatter file is attached, please compare it with yours.

Needless to say perhaps, but still: this is on your own risk.

You may damage your device if you do not know what you are doing.

Bricking it is not my fault!

So think before you act.

If you try: please give feedback if it works.

If does it is the same device: N9389 5.3", 960x480 (qHD) , 1 gb ram, 4 gb rom.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
Hi,

Well I am partly motivated by your offer, but I enjoy Android and Linux hacking.

Let's hope those attempts will lead to something.

How about LewaOS? There are good porting guides for that.

I will try to look for MIUI or CM in the weekend.

Initial CM would miss dual sim support.

Maybe MIUI is easier, because some work has been done.

Well, I'll see.

Don't overestimate the complexity, if you have CM 6 and made it yourself, porting a rom is doable I suppose :)?

cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogozx:
I already have Lewa OS so i don't need it.

I don't care about dual sim support because i use only one.

I tried to port MIUI but it doesn't want to boot so i hope you will make it :D

I think it's possible to do it ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
aha, cool! Did you share your efforts and rom somewhere?

Any documentation about your miui port?

Would be nice to not fix similar issues you might have done already.

Open source is all about sharing and these forums about helping each other.

So please share :).

One of the most challinging parts is hardware support.

Do you have a list of files you modded for the LewaOS port?

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogozx:
For Lewa OS i used MTK Firmware Adapter Tool and for MIUI also, but MIUI doesn't boot, it just stays on Bootanimation :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
ok, do you have a link to the tool?

did you post the working lewaos rom anywhere and does all hardware work?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogozx:
Camera doesn't work, check the first page of Mt65xx Rom porting, there is the tool, the name is like i said MTK Firmware Adapter tool
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
Hi, I looked there and cannot find it.

It really helps if you could take the small effort to post a link :).

I am doing this besides my job and running a company, so any time I can save helps.

This evening I decided to put some time in it.

It helps if I do not need to spend it searching for tools and also when you can share any info you acquired.

So if you can spare those minutes, please do. I am reading that porting page atm
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogozx:
http://d-h.st/kD7 there you go, but device must have same resolution to port it successfully
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
Thanks. I read that about resolution, also that the Android version (like 4.1.2) should be the same.

I have made 5 attempts and seen the following:

- the tool does not make a proper boot.img -> did it manually after I found out

- the tool merges files if they do not have the same name -> i removed some mt6577 lib from the MIUI I used (maybe there are other files)

- my 3rd attempt brought my phone back to life with the original os. I examined the flash zipped, which contained the miui files in /system/framework , but somehow those files were not flashed: might be tool generation bug, or something with my recovery or device, which I doubt

- I had to fix the phone after formatting /system manually by using SP flashtool en flash boot.img and the android partition

- tried a direct write over the current framework dir and got another bootloop

So while the tool has some advantages, it's pretty buggy too.

It's nice to know the important files.

The root cause might be that there is no MIUI that is based on Android 4.2.1.

Other ports I found are 4.1.2 based.

I will give it one other try tonight, but I think it might fail.

Besides that, I am against the closed source MIUI (although I really like the looks) and pro open source, so I will go for CM if that fails.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogozx:
There is Android 4.2.1 MIUI.

EDIT:

Here is the link for MIUI V5 on AMOI N828

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
not too many spectators here :).

I have a bootable miui 4.2.1 now, that does not trash my baseband last the last one.

It does trash imei, so make sure you have a backup at all times.

A complete rom backup is also adviced.

Further status:

Working:

- wifi, bluetooth, FM radio and GSM after fixing IMEI (with mtk tools) - be carefull, perhaps you trash your baseband : your risk, your loss, be prepared!

- the rom in general: pretty smooth, apps work, market, phone, google now, etc

Not working:

- camera - it silently closes. I trashed my front cam with my previous flash, so no clue what can be made of it :)

- sound! works when calling, just no speaker sound. also sound through headphones does work

- permissions manager : there is a su binary included, but the permissions app needs to be enabled, which somehow does not work.

work around: flash this : https://www.dropbox.com/s/q79nlz26nd9nxv4/CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip

and after install supersu from market if not working (somehow that does not fix the permission manager, complaining about development miui version)

Minor issue:

- the dial buttons are not properly alligned to touch region

Since it is not to usefull yet, I am working with gogozx to make it better.

When usable, I'll publish it :).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpenMinded:
I completed my first MIUI port for the Star N9389.

Most of it seems to be working, except:

- the boot animation, which is disabled now, other wise the phone would not boot properly after sleep.

- simcard pincode - you need to remove the pincode to get the sim working

- keypad layout is a bit off, use iphone7 theme from the theme app to fix that

I took MIUI 3.8.9 for Amoi N828 as base, deodexed the Gallery2.apk and made some changes to init.rc for the camera (see mtk porting thread).

It has working permissions app with root.

If anyone wants to try, make sure you have the proper device, with software version v89_gq2002s_130403.

That is still no garantee, but other devices may have other (camera, LCD) hardware and thus may not work properly.

I have no easy way to share it now and since I have seen few people owning it, please pm me for a download.

I am on CM 10.1.

I occasionally do nightly updates - When I did the 17th nightly update, some apps were removed.

Noticed it only because 9 pages of app shortcuts became 8 pages. Almost 10 apps were removed.

I now have to install them again.

Most were games. It does not matter much.

Is this usual. Or should I be doing backups and things before nightly upgrades also?

This did not happen when I did the 18th upgrade. Counted the no. of apps before doing that.

Please help! :crying:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orzabit:
i hope this will help you

Hi Dennis,

i am from Denmark and i also have the Htc one nordic verified edition. I saw your post when seaching in google for "htc one stock nordic" but without any luck. My HTC one was out of order for one day.

Then i gave it another chance and fixed my problem.

If you can still go into recovery mode then it should help you.

The way i did it was to go recovery mode "teamwin recovery project 2.5.0.0"

then into advanced

then into ADB sideload

Swipe to start sideload

Then connect the phone to the pc via the usb cable.

in your pc go to when you saved the android sdk files the file you need is adk.exe open a commend prompt in the windows by holding down "shift" on the keyboard same time you right click in the white area with your mouse, and choose "open command prompt here"

then write adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip

f.ex. i wrote "adb sideload C:\htc root\TrickDroid_5.5.1.zip"

then wait for the file to transfer to your phone after that i had to restart my phone into recovery again. and then i choose install and there was a sideload.zip in the dir it open witch was containing the rom.

I hope it helps you, sorry for the bad english.

Trickdroid is very close to stock rom but have the possibility to tweak into what you need % battery, remove 3 dot menu and much much more.

download it here. t r i c k d r o i d . o r g

I hope to hear from you if it works or not and will be happy to help if i can. But i am also very new to android, tried it for the first time for two weeks ago after being a Apple fanboy for five years.

Btw take a look at y o u t u b e . c o m /channel/UC7YzoWkkb6woYwCnbWLn3ZA he has a lot of good videos about how to root and unroot and much more about HTC One

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anlazarov:
Thank you very much for the response. I was already S-OFF.

I found this RUU over here:

http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/ruu_m7_...0-38r-1157-04l_release_353069_signed_2-1-exe/

i got the link from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2428276

and following this guide: http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/return-stock-guide/

However, i had to do a few things differently.

I started with hboot 1.56 S-OFF and Unlocked, with the "tampered" sign too

1. Installed the RUU - perfectly fine, still unlocked, tampered and s-off (of course :D)

2. The RUU actually removed the tampered sign, but I had to still lock the bootloader.

3. Using the link from the tutorial, installed custom recovery and superuser again, and locked it.

4. however, the bootloader got "Locked" with "Tampered" on top of it... So that's annoying...

5. Here I decided to run the RUU again so i just get rid of the damn tampered sign, cuz it seemed logical and easy to do.

6. It worked! So after that i just got S-ON back

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

I updated to latest radio and hboot and I gave the phone to HTC to fix the chip. Or hopefully replace the whole phone (the screen is a little cracked :P )

Just a tip: If you are on windows 8.x you will need to install a 32-bit Visual C++ Redistributable. I installed them all (2008, 2010 and 2012), but i guess 2012 would've been enough. Otherwise the RUU will just close after the first 2 steps.

Cheers
