Hey ! You have to launch flashtool before your phone is conected. Click on the "download" button THEN connect it. Flashtool should detect your device and flash the firmware properly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tirmey:
Thanks!!

.

Hey man, thank you!!

I didn´t realize that i should click to download and flash the firmware in the very short time in which the phone is visible to windows.

Now my phone is rooted and updated.

:good:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kantoulf:
You're welcome dude !

Another PROBLEM with k1b : Google Apps (particularly play store). Does anyone has found a solution to make it work properly ?

It is said on an italian forum that some has to flash the "20121212" gapps version found here : http://www.teamandroid.com/gapps/.

BUT the problem is that in newman K1b, the recovery has no option to flash from a zip... So I tried to find a custom recovery for this phone, but it seems that it doesn't exist...

The other solution I have found is to install this old firmware (Newman-K1-V1.0.0) : https://mega.co.nz/#!Elph3ZCY!ax-JTCflzBzNGP9ZBv9RCzBj4nY_ggbTsVvLcyj88b8. This solution sounds like a big compromise, because V1.0.0 is not really satisfaying (for exmample, it is not possible to shut down the phone and program an alarm. The phone has to be on to make the alarm work !).

So to SUM UP my post, it should be great to get either :

1) another way than recovery method to install gapps

2) OR find a custom recovery for newman k1b

3) OR a way to make gapps work properly without need to install an old version.

Thank you in advance guys !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kantoulf:
Hey ! Finally, I solved this problem, at least for play store !

First you have to make your own CWM Recovery by following this tutorial : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2379412

Or you can just get the CWM I did here (if you have a K1b) : https://mega.co.nz/#!s9IhTI4B!atNa31AduRuujwAP7UDUkhN0DFJMoZRUkIfl56eYv60

Flash it with SP Flash Tools.

Then download this gapps file : http://www.devfiles.co/download/Ui2owfCK/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip. Place it into your phone (SD card or phone memory).

Launch your phone in recovery mode (power and vol + at the same time). Select "install from zip", locate your "gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip" file and select it. Wait until the flash is done.

Reboot your phone. Google play should be working !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kantoulf:
Yes theoretically it should work ! M'y sku is 49333 if somebody else want to get m'y cwm.

and if it fails you can still flash back the stock recovery (you have the link tout the ROM).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kantoulf:
If somebody needs the updated stock firmware (Newman-K1-V1.0.7) for newman K1b sku49333, here it is : https://mega.co.nz/#!IgwHRAob!ajuu51F2fYDk5ie1I38sYgG-V5lUrwGHvoXtZn6Xh9c
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GEPAL:
Thank you for your reply. My phone has a stock recovery with an “upgrade from zip” option. May I use that or I have to use a CWM recovery. In that case may I use your CWM recovery to my phone, which is SKU46401, or not?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kantoulf:
stock recovery did not work form me. son you can still try it but it's very probable that it's going to fail.

So you will have to flash a CWM recovery. First of all, do you have a backup of your phone stock ROM ? If y ou don't, it is very easy to obtain with MTK Droid Tools : http://droidchina.om/forum/Thread-Tutorial-Backup-your-ROM-with-MTK-Droid-Tools. after have done this, you will need to make files you got flashable by following this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44509214&postcount=407&nocache=1&z=4089829183649271.

If you do that correctly, you always will be able to flash back your stock recovery or firmware if something go bad. So at this point you have the choice : you can either test my cwm on your phone (it should be interesting to see if it works) or make your own with the link I gave you previously.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kantoulf:
Ho sorry, the first link is broken. But all informations you need are present in the thread of the second link (how to make backup AND make flashable your files)

Hi !

I have a problem with my Newman K1W.

There is problem, when I try go to settings -> date & time. " unfortunately system has stopped".

I'm using stock rom now, from newbie "Newman K1, Android 4.2 ver. 1.0.4"

but there is no difference in another roms:

-> stock from chinnese guy

-> Digma iDxQ5 22.12.2013

-> Newman-K1-V1.0.3.zip

-> Digma iDxQ5 23.04.2013

-> something from freelancer i30

So, there is problem with every rom which is based on stock/oryginal rom from newman.

I try to go setting -> apps -> every apps -> clear data cache. This does not solve the problem.

questions:

1. Do you know this problem ?

2. Do you have solution ?

Best,

Thomas

PS.

Sorry, for my english.

I have the same problem with K1 and rom 1.0.4. There is a version 1.0.7 above did someone tried it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kantoulf:
Same problem on a newman K1b, rom 1.0.6
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] galv.amiais:
Is there any trick to try to force the phone to correctly set-up the date? Many things do not work correctly because of the difference!!! :crying:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tosuchy:
The firmware 1.0.7 above fixes this issue, though there is no google play and the default language is chinese. Another strange thing I got the phone with the 1.0.7 firmware with date setting problems, downgraded to 1.0 to get google play in the phone. Later I returned to 1.0.7 and the date&time problem was fixed.

Some more issues with the phone which I cannot fixed. Some sensors are detected but don't work (as example magnetic field sensor). The screen is very sensitive to "bad charger". Everything jumps on the screen. The "bad charger" is OK with other phones. I use the original nokia charger.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tosuchy:
I reflashed the 1.0.7 firmware and got the date&time issue again. I flashed again and finished with the same problem. After hard thinking I realized that before I flashed without any sim card. I repeated flashing, turned on the phone without any sim card, changed language to english and went to date&time menu to turn off "automatic time&date".

Now I can config date with a sim card.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GEPAL:
My phone has the 1.0.7 software and I haven't noticed any date and time issue but when I installed a Navigation software that uses TTS voices I heard nothing. Looking at the settings I found out that there are no any "Speech" settings under the "Language and Input" settings,

although when I look at the installed apps I see that Google TTS and Loquendo are installed. Has someone else faced the same problem.

newman has released the k1s. basically a octocore 2gb version (for $143 ! ) . From a review i read it identifies itself as k1 also. Is the rom compatible? did anyone try some mod already on the k1s?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stargazernc:
I'm having a problem with my own K1S. It's a strange thing: it works on it's own in some apps, mainly the phone and contacts one. It writes stuff when editing / creating new contact, selects contacts on the listing by it's own when no one is touching the screen. This has happen several tmes when I was holding the phone on my hand.

Anyone has any idea? Other thanb that the phone seems great so far (for it's price)

This is my first post here... If it is on the wrong place, Please advise. Thanks..

You will see when it happens and might find out how to influence it. (unlock -relock, touch back at certain place etc etc.)

Never thought of that one. I'll give it a spin.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sipart:
Hi stargazernc. Seems like you have ghost touch problems. I also get this occasionally and also a friend who bought a k1s at the same time from AntElife. Also seen reports on an whirlpool forums - so seems to be common on this model, not sure yet if it is hardware or software (I have clean screen with no screen protector). Struggling to find a different newer firmware for it. Newman.mobi does not have a forum for the k1s (yet).

Have got root though using geniusroot. Have mailed AntElife to see what they have to say.

Hi guys,

anyone know if Newmann releases kernel source?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stargazernc:
Yeah, that is it. I've also emailed beewip but they're closed for vacation. If I find something, I'll let folks know, off course. I do not know of any rom for this phone to try out also...

Hello ...

Got a newman K1S but I'm having trouble putting the gps working .... Anyone know of a fix ???

cumps
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stargazernc:
This is true. But it happened to me on another occasion, during a 2 hour drive using the GPS After about 1h:30m, I noticed it was ghost touching (the wi-fi and 3G were not active, only GPS) and that the phone was quite hot on the top part of the back. I think this can be related.:confused:

---------- Post added at 08:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

I didn't need any fix whatsoever... I've been using Sygic with no trouble at all, besides sometimes it is a bit slow getting satelites fixed, but when it does it's for good.

Try to install GPS Test, run it and see what it says to you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] leuk_he:
I received ghost touches as well. Worked fine for the first hours. However when the battery became more empty AND i ran firefox/chome/play it showed ghost touches. Running a touch test program gave it a low load, and it works spotless(when only running the test). Going back into the browser or a game gave it a workload that caused ghost touch :( . So the load contributes (or : change in load) to the ghost touches.

And the ghost touches did cost me some (virtual) money in a game :( :(

Question: in the app "MTK Engineering Mode"(available on play) you can modify touch screen settings. however the parameters are not documented anywhere i could find. Any one clues what to change there?

Question: does paypal help in this kind of product errors?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stargazernc:
I didn't know that app. Cool, I'll give it a spin... About the parameters question, no idea.

Invalid IMEI and Baseband unknown

Hello guys,

about a year or so ago I've bought a Newman K1 (SKU41790) which has worked fine. I've experimented with some different ROM's but always went back to the default ROM.

Last ROM flash was because the phone became slow and kept complaining there wasn't enough space left to download apps. With about 200MB free of internal storage and about 4GB free of SD card storage that seemed a bit strange.

Here comes the problem. I thought that formatting the phone couldn't harm it so I did using the SP flash tool. Re flashed the phone... and was welcomed by a invalid IMEI error and a Baseband version unknown message. Needless to say the formatting action I ran transformed my Newman K1 in a 5 inch tablet.

I sort of fixed it by flashing the NV RAM of a UMI S1 (same SOC and since my phone wasn't working as intended what did I have to lose) and that did indeed fix those errors. It did introduce some other problems. Screen not rotating (as the UMI did from which I took the NV RAM) and a WiFi MAC ID that would be randomly generated every time the WiFi function was turned off and on again, again same issue as the UMI has.

I would like to have a fixed MAC address again and a rotating screen like the phone used to have.

So if anyone of you guys would like to make a backup of your Newman K1 (SKU41790) and send it over to me I would be really grateful.

Ofcourse I will write back my own IMEI number and MAC adress.

Hi everyone. This is my first HTC so I don't know much about how to flash roms. There is no external sd like my s4...My question is.... I flashed ARHD 4.1.2 with no issues since the bases are the same. But what are the proper steps needed to flash a new base? I would love to flash ARHD 10 but don't want to turn this awesome phone to a paper weight....
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Backup as much stuff as you can. ARHD and TrickDroid both include an option to either Dirty Flash or Wipe the phone prior to installing the new base. I highly suggest wiping the phone through TWRP/CWM prior to installing the new ROMs, then choosing the option within Aroma to wipe the device and install. It's best to nuke the phone from orbit--it's the only way to be sure.

Please note that Aroma SUCKS and it make take several attempts before the ROM installs and it can take up to 5-10mins afterwards for the device to boot with the new ROM/base. If Aroma fails or freezes a couple times, or gets stuck--

don't panic

. Hold the PWR + VOL Down button in a brightly lit room for about 10-15seconds. The capacities buttons will flash for at least half of the 10-15seconds to acknowledge the command. Once the screen goes dark, release, then IMMEDIATELY HOLD the PWR + VOL DOWN button again to boot into the bootloader and then choose to go back into recovery.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
with the new ARHD 10.0 it seems that file folder construction has been modified so its been recommended that you wipe your SD card and then install. so the process in short should be

back up your sdcard stuff you want to keep > reboot into recovery > wipe the phone > wipe SD card (all data) > either push ARHD 10 to the phone or you can ADB sideload the zip over >

install ARHD 10.0 > boot up > put everything you want on your SD card back.

someone chime in and correct me if i'm wrong. though that seemed like the jist of the what mike was getting at i think...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
Back up the info to the OP's computer, flash ARHD10.0, then wipe SD card, imo.

It'll make the OP's life easier. But all the information in the above post is correct. Welcome to Android 4.2.2--with it's support for multiuser, your information will start getting stored under /data/media/0 as opposed to /sdcard/ which can get confusing for the end user who isn't expecting it.

Titanium backup will backup your apps, you don't need to transfer this back to your PC :) svae son your internal sdcard

But with the steps taken above if you wipe sd doesn't that erase everything including backups?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakaringer:
Here's what I did:

Backup apps using Titanium > Move stuff in sdcard to pc > Wipe/factory reset phone > Install ARHD 10.0 > Format sdcard using CWM recovery > boot > move everything back to sdcard from the pc > download Titanium from play store > restore user apps > go through settings and set each stuff manually > Enjoy

Thanks I will give this a try!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxal:
A question before I try this, I thought that if you format the sd card after installing ARHD 10.0 you would then have no operating system on your phone?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
You'd lose the OS if you wipe /data/ or /system/. As long as you choose the option to wipe /sdcard/, your OS will remain.

Not sure if someone else is uploading the Toro builds to goo but I am not, but I ported this from Maguro so I may have missed changing something and it may have notified you of a Maguro update. My uploads will be to dev-host for now.

I am having a little issue.

I love this ROM but every time I flash a different kernel

It brakes paranoid settings!?

They work perfect with the kernel that's baked in ROM

But if I get another say Franco it brakes the paranoid settings and won't

Do any changes.

also on the toast message from super user

Before kernel is said paranoid settings permission granted

And after I flashed Franco kernel it said Android system permission granted

And no ui changes happen?

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ThePhantom97:
Not sure why this is happening, is anyone else having trouble with PA settings after flashing a new kernel? I am trying to get a nightly ported tonight and maybe that will fix the issue you are having. I have only used the baked in kernel but will try to flash a new kernel with the nightly and see if it breaks PA prefs. Sorry for the late reply, been a busy day for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ThePhantom97:
After trying to port the nightly it would not boot on my phone. :( So I will try 6/8 nightly or if a new one is posted by tomorrow morning I will try it.

I did update the build.prop of v4.3 and will upload and change the link in the OP asap. And after clean install and installing a new kernal (AK.801.Cylon) I didn't have any trouble changing PA settings, I changed from 320 dpi to 210 dpi a few times and didn't have any problems. I don't have francos kernel downloaded at the moment but will try it out soon. If anyone else can confirm a problem with any kernels please let us know. Thanks

2. Yes. Again a lot of choices. HERE is one at random.

3. Yes. But it's not a Factory setup. But they do work well. One used by many people is THIS one.

4. I believe the largest is 2300mAh. You can find them all over the place. Just be wary of who you buy from. I ordered one of THESE for my wife. If you want Extended with a larger cover, you can go all the way to 7000mAh.
