Here is the link:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2073292&d=1372336884

Please have a nandroid backup before flashing this patch.

After flashing this there will be two icons of both camera and gallery of both your stock ROM and your patched one.You can freeze or uninstall your stock camera and gallery app by titanium backup.

Hope this helps:D
[Xolo Q1000] arkaredevil:
You can try Melting Rocks ROM which one of the users have tried on the philippines version of xolo q1000 i.e. Cherry Omega HD 2.0. Though i didn't give it a try personally,you can give it a try if you like and this should work without any problems as it had worked with xolo philippean counterpart.

Here is the link:

Help me xolo q1000 hang on boot logo (xolo)

I faced this problem after installing chaina fire 3D drivers Please help me Please Please Please>>:crying:
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
If Xolo hangs at boot logo and you have CWM installed then just flash the stock rom whose link has been provided earlier in this thread. If CWM is not installed don't worry you can still do it via SP Flash tools with the right version and drivers, all mentioned earlier in this thread where one of our member AryanChinha faced a similar problem and solved it. Don't worry use spare phone meanwhile and fix it steadily following the instructions.
[Xolo Q1000] arkaredevil:
Have you downloaded from the 1st link that i have provided..the rom is working perfectly except the camera glitch pointed out by a fellow xda senior member pratikverma28 in the earlier thread...i will try this ROM but it will take sometime..you have to wait for few days..i will post the results once i have tried the ROM.:fingers-crossed:
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
I downloaded the link in their blog. I noticed there is a separate rom for omega hd 2.0 that u provided a link to(with fixes). Maybe that'll work. Will try later I guess right now stock rom feels best.

[Xolo Q1000] adildsw:
Sorry for asking a noobish question, but I cannot flash cwm recovery in my xolo q1000. I have rooted my phone...installed mobile uncle and selected the recovery.IMG. but after it asks for a reboot into recovery, it does not go to cwm...it normally reboots. I've even tried to go to recovery from ROM manager, but the phone restarts instead of getting into recovery. Plz help fellow xdaians.
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
Switch off phone. Hold power + volume up key until phone vibrates. If it goes into recovery well and good. Other wise you have flashed a wrong recovery and need to put the right one. Download the right recovery from this forum and flash it via mobile uncle since your phone still boots normally.
[Xolo Q1000] adildsw:
Thanks for replying! I've used the link provided in this post earlier. But still no effect. One thing I forgot to mention...on booting through power+volup key, xolo logo appears twice before booting normally...wat should I do now?? :(
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
That is normal I guess because in my normal boot it used to happen lik that and after flashing melting rocks rom and reverting bak, now I get Samsung logo first and then xolo. Also u say u used d link of cwm given in d forum and it still does not work but for me it did, so I assume mobile uncle is not able to flash the rom properly. Do sp flash method whose link has also been provided earlier . :)
[Xolo Q1000] arkaredevil:
yeah it is normal..xolo logo will appear twice because there are two xolo images in the bootanimation.zip file..keep pressing the power+vol up key...you will enter into the recovery mode.

The recovery image that has been provided earlier worked for me using mobileuncle..dunno why it is not working..you can try reinstalling the app(preferably latest version) or you can try with other recovery image, the link is provided below:

http://bit.ly/1bjgESk
[Xolo Q1000] arkaredevil:
search for bootanimation.zip file in the root directory...it contains the boot image like xolo image that shows during the boot.There may be a samsung image if present it needs to be deleted (but don't delete it)...a slight modification needs to be done on the desc file...you can post it here and i will do the modification..if it is not there you can search for files bootani.qmg, bootsamsungloop.qmg, PowerOn.wav which are usual for samsung ROMs..you can remove this files but do make a nandroid backup before doing this things incase anything goes sideways:laugh:
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:

[MENTION=5297613]arkaredevil[/MENTION] - sir I tried the IMG which u gave and I've also used different mobile uncle....but my phone doesn't go to recovery mode.... :( I've also noticed that when I try to reset my phone, it asks for a restart and everything's normal..,..nothing gets resetted. I've started to think that there is problem in the stock ROM....... [MENTION=5246247]Hell_Earth[/MENTION] - to go through the sptool method I think we need to have an unrooted xolo .....BT mine is already rooted.....how to proceed to the sp root method?? By unrooting the phone first or normally with prerooted phone?

Plz help....I've started getting creeps!!!
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
I'm pretty sure u dnt need to unroot to go thru sp flash method. Here's what u need:

1.Proper device drivers(mentioned by aryanchinha)

2.Sp Flash tools working version(mentioned by aryanchinha)

3.Working recovery(CWM or stock recovery based on what u want to flash) Stock rom may have stock recovery not sure.

Stock rom: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/xolo-q1000/ (have to register)

Here's working instructions I found in micromax forums and it'll work for all mtk devices. i made necessary changes.

Instructions for flashing using SP Flash Tools:

1. Install drivers for your phone using XOLO drivers.

2. Extract the Stock ROM folder and replace recovery.img with cwm recovery.

3. Extract and open the SP Flash Tools.

4. In SP Flash Tools, click on Scatter-Loading and the program will ask you the location of the scatter loading file for your device select mt6589 scatter file.txt

5.Check only recovery.img, preloader and uncheck all others.

6. Switch off your phone (Remove the battery to make sure it is switched off).

7. In Flash Tool, go to Options and Click USB Mode so that it is enabled. Click options again and then go to DA Download All > Speed and finally select High Speed.

8. Click the Download option (present on the right of Firmware

> Upgrade option) and the flash tool will start looking for your phone.

9. Connect your phone now. The Flash Tool will start the flashing process, the progress of which can be viewed from a yellow progress bar at the bottom of the flash tool.

Warning 1 - Don't interrupt this process as it can potentially brick your device.

Warning 2 - Make sure no power interruption takes place. (Use a laptop to ensure this).

10. After the process completes, a green ring will appear on your device signalling that the process was successful.

11.Disconnect your phone.

NOTE:- Notice that only recovery and preloader files were kept checked, so only those files will be overwritten. Nothing else. Root, not rooted, wont make a difference. :) You can flash entire rom too through this method. Use 32 bit x86 system while using these tools and drivers as most things are compatible to it.

[Xolo Q1000] adildsw:
I will give it a try and inform you(hope this works!).....Thank You For All Your Help till now Sir(and other Fellow XDAians)#RESPECT...
[Xolo Q1000] arkaredevil:
search thoroughly..there has to be bootanimation.zip file in the root directory otherwise how come you are seeing the xolo logo at the startup?:p

Anyway you are seeing the samsung logo because of the files (i have mentioned the files in my earlier thread) present in the previous ROM (Melting Rocks that you have installed earlier)..check it features..it has a feature of samsung logo at boot. The files that are causing this are:

1.bootsamsung.qmg

2.bootsamsungloop.qmg

[MENTION=5246247]Hell_Earth[/MENTION] - I flashed my q1000 through the process mentioned......bt now it doesnt even start!! It vibrates and its screen lights up(black colour and no logo) and then turns off after a few sec0nds....i've also tried flashing the whole firmware, bt no luck :crying: ! plz plz plz tell me what to do :( ?
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
Did u flash just a specific part of the rom (like recovery and preloader) or whole rom? Flash whole rom fresh from given stock rom link and it should work (as it did for aryanchinha). I think you hav a really faulty piece of hardware, where did you buy it from? Is any refund possible? Any case don't lose hope there is always ways to recover phone. Right now sp flash tools is the most convenient. Tell me what happens when u goto recovery and also when u hold power + camera key at boot.

Also when u flashed via SP Flash tools did you get the green circle at the end of the procedure? Any error while doing it?

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

Use links given here for rom and rivers and do again as it should work for any bricked xolo q1000. Links i gave are also same file but from different user, chances are that user messed up and put corrupt file. Your phone is still recoverable.
[Xolo Q1000] adildsw:
I did as you said(even with the new links which you gave)....bt i'm getting the same results(on holding the power key - phone vibrates and screen lightens(completely black) and then it becomes dark and again it vibrates and screen lightens and this loop continues......and on holding the camera and pow button - phone vibrates and screen lightens permanently(no loop)). I really thank you for your consistent support.....BTW - I am using a 64bit Windows7 and Sp Flash tools is giving a green ring at the end ("success") so i cannot understand whats wrong! I Bought it from a store in Kolkata(listed in the xolo website)...And i dont think a refund is possible...what should I do :crying: ???
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
Hmm.. The only possible solution is to flash cwm using sp flash tools. I cannot understand y it isn't working since the whole process was a success and u used the right files. Btw did u flash cwm or stock recovery? Whatever u flashed, flash the other one and this time don't flash the preloader. Only recovery. If we get ur recovery to work then there's hope.

BTW your phone is still soft bricked and only in bootloop, there is some incompatibility error other than that everything went normal. You have to find what wes incompatible, try to flash the cwm in this forum via sp flash tools (uncheck all other files after loading scatter file in sp flash tools). Try that again.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Hey also, did u ever access your recovery since you bought your phone? There's a slight teenie weenie possibility that your key combination for recovery isn's right and slightly different. Because when i flashed 'melting rocks' rom, my fone wldnt boot into recov via power + vol up. Had to do it from within the rom. You could try power + vol up + vol down. Do it ofcourse after you try cwm again. IF even that doesnt work i guess we gotta find a software to boot it into recov frm pc.. :(
[Xolo Q1000] adildsw:
I flashed only the CWM recovery posted in this thread(no preloader)......nd then i tried to boot into CWM(using vol+ and Power). I got a screen which i've uploaded(in attachments)...its really a small display on the top of the screen...BUT the GOOD NEWS IS THAT - i can control the thing with vol up, vol down, and power :D (assuming its THE menu of CWM Recovery). Now i guess we need to use any cwm backup or something like that nd use the shrinked CWM menu by button combinations :confused: ??? MAN U R Simply AWESOME!!!! #RESPECT....
[Xolo Q1000] arkaredevil:
why in the first place did you flashed a new ROM without taking the backup of the previous one..i told you it will work with the mobile uncle tool..you should have tried a few more times with the older versions as well before taking such a massive step..i dont think it would have hurt to wait for a few days trying with the recovery image rather than flashing the entire ROM..i guess:confused:

bdw i can't see anything in your screen..except a small tinge of colour on the upper side..you should try the whole process in a 32-bit system if you can..i guess that will solve your problem now that you can't even take your phone to the service centre.:eek:
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
In the screenshot I can't see the recovery options clearly but if you can and u can control it then gr8, simply put the working stock rom provided in links earlier in ur SD card and flash the zip file using cwm. Also make sure enuf battery is der by charging it if it charges in the present mode or when partially switched on. :)

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

He Cldnt hav taken backup wid out cwm and that's the problem in the first place. I am sure there's only some compatibility issue as the files and the procedure are all working and correct.. :P
[Xolo Q1000] adildsw:
[MENTION=5297613]arkaredevil[/MENTION] - I made a mistake:eek:.....but i did try the mobile uncle a lot of times......:(
[MENTION=5246247]Hell_Earth[/MENTION] - can u post snaps of your cwm recovery screen (as literaly i cant read anything written in that space....i can only see the white text changing positions according to the buttons i press!) so that i can use the combinations of the code to install the zip?
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
Okay I have attached 2 files which show 2 steps at flashing rom via sd. In the first menu it is option no. 2 which is NOT highlighted by me intentionally so that you could see it. In second menu it is option no. 1 which again I intentionally didn't highlight so you could see. So it goes like this:

CWM--->Option 2--->Option 1--->then you gotta choose the update .zip (for which I advise you to keep only the rom.zip file in your sd card so it'll get highlighted automatically) and tada. It should work. Then you can use mobile uncle again to flash proper cwm into your phone later on. Also, to confirm that you are in CWM one can select options using the camera key too so if that works then yeah its worth a shot. If it doesn't then we'll try something else.

[MENTION=5246247]Hell_Earth[/MENTION] - I tried the CWM and the NANDROID BACKUP posted by sizariya.....but the CWM doesnt seem to work as it was expected :( ! Is there any way left by which i can recover my XOLO:(??
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
Your's is the strangest xolo q1000 till now. :P I m pretty sure the cwm is getting flashed in your device but y isn't it compatible is unknown. The only success you had till now was when you flashed the cwm alone(without any preloader) and at least you could control some sort of menu. Try reflashing the cwm or stock recovery and reinstall the drivers if necessary. It is difficult to pinpoint the problem with your device. I'll tell you the only ways I know to recover a soft bricked fone.

1.Reflash proper working rom via SP Flash tools.

2.Apply update.zip via CWM.

Since we are trying our luck here, can you try and flash the melting rocks rom via sp tools and see if your device boots? Procedure remains same as flashing stock rom via sp (by loading scatter file and stuff). Also if the melting rocks rom works in your device (just enuf to get it into homescreen and application usable) then use mobile uncle to flash CWM and booting into recovery is easy in this rom simply by holding the power buton and then selecting recovery.
[Xolo Q1000] adildsw:
Yeah...now i've also started thinking that my XOLO got some error! I've tried all the things said but no luck :( .... I edited the data of scatter loading file so that it would skip the paths of "SEC_RO" nd other two datas(I can't remember the name) as the stock rom didnt have those files, then i did a firmware->upgrade with the rest of the files ticked(nd the stock recovery provided by sizariya). After the upgrade was over, I saw half the screen working nd the other half black.....so i restored the default settings with the half screen working(so that it wouldnt seem to have been rooted and flashed several times voidifying the WARRANTY) and then i took it today to the service centre where they checked it out and returned me my xolo REPAIRED!! A great thanks to Hell_earth, sizariya and other XDAians......it wouldnt be possible without your consistent support!!!
[Xolo Q1000] Hell_Earth:
Good thing you got it to work finally. :D :D By the way you got it repaired or replaced? Because if it was repaired and it is still the same device I don't think you can venture again like this(Rooting, CWM and stuff). And if it was repaired, do you have any intel on how they got it done? Our of curiosity. :P
[Xolo Q1000] adildsw:
It was repaired.....I guess some internal faults were there as before it was bricked, the wifi and bluetooth were acting wierdly....I will ROOT and CWM it again ;) ...... but after some time i guess:angel: .... But i have rooted it already!!!:cowboy: Thanks People!!!
