Confirmation Needed

Good Day to you all. I reside in the Philippines, and after doing quite some research, i discovered that the Micromax A116 is sold in the Philippines as the MyPhone a919i Duos. Looks, and specs seems to be the same. But I need confirmation if it would be possible to utilize all the custom roms, rooting, and everything else in the development thread of the A116 by the MyPhone a919i Duos. It would be nice to hear from someone who owns a MyPhone that tried some of the things in the development section. Much help is appreciated. Thanks!! :D

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivie:
This is becoming a beginners guide for people like me...

Hello all and thanks in advance for any help you guys can lend me.

So what i have is an hp touchpad 16GB. it has ICS on it with dual boot webos

I want to put CM10 Schizoid tenderloin on it. (i have the files downloaded.)

Currently it doesn't have Clockwork recovery it has Teamwin recovery (TWRP)

I would prefer if it had clockwork, as i have not seen anything about TWRP on here.

So i would assume the best thing to do is factory wipe it back to just WEBOS but i have no idea how.

and then i could follow a tutorial from there (starting from scratch)

If there is an easier way that's good too, i would like to switch to Clockwork though... (unless you all insist it doesn't matter)

Please help me, this is a very different world than i am used to.

my experience with this type of stuff: I have rooted and flashed roms to my galaxy s3. I also have done plenty of apple jailbreaks too but that's super easy stuff compared to this.

all help is greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:

Well after tons of reading i found a couple ways to do this.

1. Follow this thread: THREAD LINK and get it 100% back to original even if having serious problems. (took me about 20 pages to realize this was too extensive for my needs)

2. Run the ACMEuninstaller, (i couldn't find a detailed thread on this but found a revkyle vid for it.) Get webos doctor 3.0 and open the Jar file (a java executable, install java if you don't already have, I didn't) add the acmeuninstaller file to the palm, inc folder. follow revkyles intructions in the video (link will go here, no time)

I read somewhere to run cyboot to get rid of moboot and something about preware... didn't have to do all that, uninstaller got it all off. (i think, correct me if i am wrong)

After you are all done wiping android off the HPTP, you can start from scratch.

I watched revkyle's idiots guide 2.0 video and it was pretty good. followed it exactly but sure enough encountered problems.

i am now running shizoid [ROM] [CM10] SCHIZOID all-in-one (CM10+AOKP M1+PA 2.55)[06MAR13 v1.20]

I'll update later. I don't really need anyone's help now, thanks anyways...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_angel_moroni:
I had my phone stolen the other day, but I got it back (thanks Cerberus). I want to do a complete system wipe (as in deleting current firmware and reinstalling, not just factory reset) as I'm nervous about what they might have done to it, and because it still seems a bit slow, even after a Factory reset, Cache wipe, and dalvik wipe. I have already rooted using method 1.A. from this forum, so I have the "Wipe Data-Cache-System-Preload" option in PhilZ's bootloader (which I'm assuming does what I'm looking for). I would like to use the firmware on the Sammobile website for my country (Chile (ENTEL)), but I have a couple questions I haven't been able to find an answer to.

1. Is what I'm doing safe? Can you use the Sammobile Firmware's after doing a "Wipe Data-Cache-System-Preload"? Will it raise the counter or change the fact that I have a safe kernel currently?

2. Will I lose my current root access and/or PhilZ's bootloader? If so, is this a problem at all? Will I be able to re-root with the same method, or will that mess something up considering that the bootloader had already been modified the first time I rooted?

Sorry for being an overly anxious noob, but I just barely got my phone back, and I don't want to brick it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
Yes you can download the firmware from sammobile or even from here (if it exists here):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Yes, what you are doing is safe. the method for flashing stock rom is also in the above link. it will not raise the counter, you will lose root and would be back to stock kernel and there is no problem in that.

Yes you can flash philz kernel again once you are done flashing stock rom.

Edit: flash .zip file for philz kernel after flashing rom again to avoid raising counter.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_angel_moroni:
Ok thanks! Is this process of re-installing the firmware going to actually delete the old firmware first? As opposed to just write over it? Will it have the same effect as the "Wipe Data-Cache-System-Preload" option in PhilZ kernel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
it is the process of over writting if you do not clear up the data or system or preload (which you already did and if the rom is non wipe rom). As you have cleaned up data, system, preload and rest it is the process of reinstalling the firmware as there is no ROM to boot to at that point (i.e once you have cleaned up everything).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_angel_moroni:
So in the thread you linked to it gives these instructions:

Installation

1.a Pre installation : (For clean installation, optional)

- Make backup with Titanium Backup or other similiar app.

- First wipe cache and data

And you are saying I should do this instead:

Installation

1.a Pre installation : (For clean installation, optional)

- Make backup with Titanium Backup or other similiar app.

- First "Wipe Data-Cache-System-Preload"

And then continue with the rest of the process?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treacherous_hawk:
if you are rooted already and have backed up apps+data (non-system apps) with TBP you can follow any of the method (preferably 2nd) and once you are done flashing, root again using philz kernel and restore apps+data using TBP. Also if you go to philz recovery and then to wipe data/factory reset you will also find option for clean up to install new rom (something like that). Usually this method is often used if you are flashing custom rom but you can still do it even if you are flashing the stock rom (even same) again. Under mount/storage you can also mount USB storage while connected to pc and delete everything from internal sd before flashing too.

If your unsure about which bootloader you have, check >>HERE<<
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] robbieas:
So if I flash this, my flash counter will increase to 1, right? I've been avoiding the bootloader update because of this.

When I got my phone, I upgraded to 4.1.1 (which is what this bootloader update is based on, right?), then rooted, installed CWM, and flashed ROMs. But with that Triangle Away reset the counter to 0 only until a reboot, after reboot it incremented to 1. So to resolve I Odin flashed 4.0.4, rooted, installed CWM, used Triangle away, then flashed ROMs... and my counter stayed at 0 after reboot.

Just trying to hedge warranty concerns versus being a nightly flashaholic....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Correct, the 4.1.1 bootloader does have the newer flash counter. It will increase your flash counter when you reboot if your not running stock (I think it checks the type of recovery installed and something with the kernel. I think.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
Using a recovery-flashable ZIP will not increase your flash counter.

Not without their permission it's not.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] robbieas:
This is incorrect. Simply having a custom recovery period with the 4.1.1 bootloader will always increment your counter to 1 after a reboot. Triangle Away will reset your counter to 0, but upon reboot it will be back to 1.

This was my experience when I rooted from 4.1.1. Then I Odin`d back to 4.0.4, rooted, CWM, flased ROMs and my counter stayed at 0 through multiple flashes. As soon as I flashed this bootloader patch my counter went to 1 ater reboot. Triangle Away will reset to 0, but on reboot it goes back to 1.

Not sure it really matters, not sure why I even care about the flash counter... guess just want to hedge my bets in case I need warranty and can't Odin to stock before returning.

It's not that easy with AT&T either. I called them a couple of days ago and they refused to unlock it for my travel even though I have a few months left on my contract. I have another number from them that I want to try again.

Does anyone know if this works with 4.3 bootloader? Is it safe to try flashing 4.1.1 on 4.3 using mobile Odin? I really can't afford to lose my phone and need it unlocked for my trip.

Also does anyone know how can I backup IMEI / NV Data on 4.3 bootloader? I've been trying a lot of different rom to unlock the phone and I'm worried I'll lose this info without a backup. The synergy method doesn't work as it says the bootloader is locked.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
Well I have had to unwillingly test this for the I747U I discovered my phone disliked me attempting to restore a backup of it that I made yesterday. It started as a soft brick and progressed rapidly until eventually I had what appeared to be a hard brick but after much trial and error I am left only with a soft brick. It has my phone getting back to download mode with some trickery.

To get the phone back to download mode or recovery mode I have to do a battery pull, with the battery out insert your 16GB sd card(which will be formatted so YOU WILL LOOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA ON THE CARD this can be undone later but for now just backup all of your data on your pc.) , press the vol down, home key and power button for 3 seconds then let go, wait for the vibration, press the desired combination of buttons for either download or recovery.

It took persistence to figure out the right button combination etc, even with the card inserted after a battery pull the power button alone still does not turn my phone on. If I do not perform the second set of button combinations for the desired mode the phone simply attempts to boot which is a miserable failure at this point.

At this point it would be really nice if I had either a 747m or samsung would release an ODIN tar for the AT&T version, I didn't get the hard brick until I attempted to flash a 4.3 rom, I will be trying again shortly if I can get some files to hurry their way into my laptop.

Will update when I can. The file absolutely works as it should though.

Update: I think my phone in a little on the dead side for a while... Any ideas are welcome. I dont think I can brick it anymore than it already is. and if so then it really needs a JTAG/RIFF BOX.

New update

I got my phone booting up again however there is a catch. That unbrick.img file on my 16GB sd card is still required to boot the phone and I have no cell service what so ever. Tried to check apn settings because at home I sometimes get poor service and I run net10 so I was going to fix my apn and it says insert sim??? the sim is properly inserted??? I just tried *#197328640# it apears as though I may not have a modem installed??? will try to install one and update again.

Next Update the bootloader I flashed apparently flashed to the external sd card? I flashed another one and it is booting from the internal sd. I had to flash a different modem the one in the bootloader I flashed first didnt take? I got most everything sorted out, but im getting tired, it has been an all night adventure. its 08:23 est now
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] -Mr. X-:
I dont think the bootloader zips contain the modem. You will have to find the modem zip and flash it. Some users report that they get no service on the 4.3 bootloaders unless they have the 4.3 radio installed as well. Too bad ATT does not have an odin flashable for the 4.3 yet. that would be ideal, this would guarantee that you're device is 100% re-flashed and good to go.

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 AM ----------

It works thats why i posted it. This is the method i personally used to flash the Telus 4.3 odin tar to my 4.1.2 bootloader device. while keeping my 4.1.2 bootloader. I'm not sure if you can "odin" the ATT ota so untill there is an att odin tar released via kies then you may be SOL. or find some one who has repacked the 4.3 ota into a flashable zip that would work as well. just make sure the dev didn't pack in the bootloader.

All in all though. this new bootloader isn't so scary guys, it still works for rooting and custom roms. just downgrading it gets harry. but there is really no reason to downgrade.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
I don't have an AT&T phone, so I can't flash AT&T modems to check them for the option. I'd suggest starting with the oldest and slowly working your way newer. I know it was the second or third modem release for I747M devices that had the options, but that doesn't mean much for AT&T devices.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amfractal:
Thanks. But my problem is that I am already on 4.3 OTA so my bootloader is updated. So I'm wondering if I can flash 4.1.1 on 4.3 OTA while having a 4.3 bootloader without bricking my phone.

If the option to unlcok the phone in 4.1.1 is no longer there, then I have no reason to downgrade to 4.1.1.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
You can flash a 4.1 stock-based ROM without issues as long as it doesn't overwrite the bootloader. (ROMs packaged as flashable ZIPs should never overwrite the bootloader.)

I'd suggest a ROM like loserskater's S3Rx that's based on a stock Touchwiz ROM, it should still have the Samsung service tools embedded within the dialer. (It's easier than using Odin and worrying about the bootloader)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dstruct2k:
Dunno about the unlock code thing, never tried. You can probably scroll a few pages back on the Android Development subforum (not "Original" Development) and find a 4.1.1-based ROM that was abandoned and never updated. It's still probably safer than firing up Odin if you're worried about bricking.
