MTK6577 signal dropping problem

I have (4.0 inch S9920 Android 4.1 3G Smart Phone MTK6577 Dual Core 1GHz WiFi GPS 12MP Camera - White):

Phone picture: pokit.org/get/img/a1ca62b705c1adad2061fb3639d8d987.png

Phone specifications: pokit.org/get/img/ec0e7c49193e46bac39fc2ac293d5b15.png

Software details: pokit.org/get/img/2b9aecdf2b20d29a506667b0285d8b0b.png

Problem is when I put phone on sleep signal is dropping. After few times acting like that, I don't get that kind of notification, but I can't call, or receive a call. :(

But when phone is on charger everything is fine.

Phone is unusable because of this error :(

Is there any solution?! I routed it, and tried to increase CPU min from 250Mhz to 750Mhz or more, but it didn't solve my problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrizzly92:
was the device like that since you bought it, or started it acting like that few days ago? boot into recovery and make a factory reset and check if the error exists again.

Nvram restore in mt6577

Hey there,

I need your help to restore NVRAM in a MT6577 based device.

I got some errors when i formatted my device using SP tools, my IMEI and wifi nvram was erased.

I have got IMEI fixed from somewhere but MY wifi NVRAM WARNING still there.

I have a NVRAM folder of another MT6577 dvice and when i exchange files of nvram folder in root root/data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB I GOT THAT ERROR FIXED.

but the error comes again on a factory reset or a new ROM flash, i have found some permissions issue which properly xplained here.

can you help me to either fix these permissions so that these files do not get erased on factory reset.​
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrizzly92:
use maui meta 3G or sn write tool to "hardwrite" those configurations or IMEI to your NVRAM partition on your device. its hidden and only accessible from Meta Mode. your nvram will be created again after a factory reset, so if no data is written to this partition it cannot create it correctly. just google yourself through that, its not that hard.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaunty:
i have got IMEI written from somewhere, imei is fine.

Remains only WIFI issue which was erased. issuw is ""NVERM WARNING ERR X10"" m unable to get RID of this one.. :(

Hello,

I have a Orient N9500 Phone, I have backed up the boot.img system.img and recovery.img.

But when I try to flash it with CWM I get:

- ERROR :Boot unthe public mailing list cygwin@cygwin.com

Task complete

and my recovery folder is empty...

I already have ROOT access to my device.

MTK 6589

I've added my files to this post, so if someone could make the CWM with my files and re upload it, that would be awesome!

Your root method worked well on my Star N9770. I now have root.

However, Google Play no longer works! I can't get a connection. Browser and other services are fine, with wifi or 3G, but nothign for Play. I tried side-loading a different Play apk, but still nothing. Any ideas?

Android.img ......???

What you have written the android (in scatterfile). In SP Flash Tool does not occur until ROM_0 - boot and ROM_1 - Recovery files used on. What did you do with android??

Confused about your explanation, all taken from [MENTION=5119815]rua1[/MENTION].
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlsvcbbn:
hi...android.img is not necessary for root but save it into folder for backup in your pc (in case you want to return to original stock or brick phone) with other 2 files boot.img and recovery.img....rename file original backup or whatever you want...i had a lot of people who flashed custom roms without saving those 3 files and after they did not liked custom roms then they asked me how to convert to original stock rom and i sent them those 3 files (phone model vodafone smart mini 875).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrizzly92:
as @mlsvcbbn already mentioned, a backup of the android partition isn't needed. you can backup before to go back to original stock without problems.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex1948:
Read the original post

And then you wrote about android - start address and Lengh, if needed.You just created confusion.Rua1 explains very well how it works(and [MENTION=5262551]oscarblue48[/MENTION]).

I do not know what, post on XDA, the procedure explained author MTKdroid.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlsvcbbn:
Why is backup of android.img important

One example:if you make a root on your phone rooted by this method or with srs root and the new update of firmware version appears in your smartphone (settings-->about phone--> software updates), you will not be able to install firmware update (even if you unroot your phone) if you don't create backup files (boot.img, recovery.img and android.img). When new firmware appears you must flash with sp flash tool those 3 img files (boot.img, recovery.img and android.img.) and after that you will be able to install update.

That's why android.img backup is important.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex1948:
Others have explained better !!!

Get what? I made backup and 'To prepare blocks for Flashtool' .All files for SP Flash tool exists in folder '!Files_to_Flashtool' which is also inside the backup folder , in MTKdroid Tool.In SP Flash Tool android.img loading of system file from backup. See 3 images.:

Or, if all you want to do when with SP Flash TOOL , Read back , ROM_0 , Start adress = 0x000000 , Lenght(adress block CACHE) about me = 0x3c9c0000 , and get A5_Duo_130806_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack_131007-212823(folder) , where you : boot.img , CWM recovery , original recovery and system.img - see image 4.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlsvcbbn:
It's the same thing.

Sanatate.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrizzly92:
congratulations!! sure, someone explained better, then use other methods. no one forced you to follow this tutorial.

also i cannot get what you want to say to me. you can only use mtk droid tools to make a backup if the device is rooted before or is rootable without modifiing boot.img.

maybe this isn't the case for you, but check all those q/a threads, where people rooted (bricked) their devices because they didn't make a backup before or they flashed a wrong FW.

so, backing up android.img will save your device and you can flash back stock firmware before you did a single modification.

besides that, thanks for explaining the same thing again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlsvcbbn:
Excellent tutorial, clearly explained the root method step by step. Great job!

dude, try to look after your grammar, its very hard to understand what you wan't to say.

so, yeah, rua1 did mtk droid tools and he also did a tutorial, but why shouldn't i do the same? the more tutorials we got( even if they are mostly similar), more and more users will find a working one.

How can I determine the length? Any kinda help will be appreciated..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrizzly92:
you can use "to perpare blocks for flashtool" in droid tools, you will see the length there. also, you can use ADB to find the length, just google the commands for this, dont have them in mind right now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karmantyu:
I rooted mine too. What is the problem? Why would you go back unrooted? Restoring full backup from others may not be a good idea.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msound87:
my problem is that in this tutorial it says that if you flash back android,boot and recovry imgs you would go back to stock i get rid of root but my boot animation is the same that i had and not vodafones and my apps that i;ve delete its not there!!this is my problem and i want to take it for service..so if idont come back to stock i will lose my guarantee!:( you can help me sending me the stock bootanimation at least plzzz??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrizzly92:
well, stop a moment. if you did exactly what my tutorial is saying, then everything is back to normal. if you deleted apps and then did a backup, of course they are missing. but i don't think so. branded devices mostly gpt 3rd Party apps on the internal or external SDCard, wich were installed on first boot. maybe you deleted those type of apps ( you can uninstall them in settings-apps), or you formatted internal SD card with a full wipe, so that those kind of apps are removed. BUT this tutorial is NOT the Problem, if those apps were in /system folder, they were backed up correctly.

Also, the first line in this tutorial says that "alcatel or branded devices of this kind are not supported!", cause they got a completely different partiton layout and i never could test one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msound87:
i did anything right my boot img and recovery is 6 mb each and android 415 mb when i back them up i had stock boot animation and all vodafones apps so i flash them back i get rid of root and recovery so it worked just fine...android img should bring me back to stock so it didnt...it doesnt matter now and my phone its compasitive with this tutorial.....the problem is that ive never made a full backup i just keep boot recovery and android imgs if any anyone who has this phone and kept a full backup with mtk tools can send me this folder in zip plz custpack2.ext4?????????????????????????
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrizzly92:
then you are wrong here. its about rooting, not about helping you with those alcatel devices. but there are 2 possible ways: on mt6573, there was a programm like" alcatel update suite" or something. you can flash a stock rom from there. i dont know if this will work for mt6577,too. second thing, you may ask in a thread of your device for a full backup, but i'm warning you: flashing wrong files may brick your device!! make sure you never touch preloader or DSP_BL of an alcatel device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msound87:
i didnt find anything like that for that phone and i didnt say that the tutorial is my prob..

nevermind i will go to vodafone...i will risk it i have create i thread but nothing NONE reply thanks anyway!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, IT WORKS ON ACER LIQUID Z2 (Z120) DUAL SIM:good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] channELcee:
sorry.....works perfectly...im a class A moron

I have an ACER LIQUID Z2 (Z120) SINGLE SIM. Ive tried this method and can only assume im STUFFING SUMMIT UP!!!!!!!

My phone isnt bricked (rooted a few never have luckily) but this blooming acer is doing my head in.

1st took me ages finding anyone that has a clue to rooting it, im no pro so i gotta read idiots guides

2nd i find your great work.......which im ruining lol

Ive done every step all the way to the end but never managed to push superuser or anything (buttons still greyed out on last task. The problem ive worked out is although it says -TASK COMPLETED - and should be patched when i load the scatter file i dont have the modified/patched files, just the exact files i loaded up. The readback/download everything went perfectly. Its literally when i load up scatter file theres no patched mod ever though it says it was patched..

As i say im prob just being dumb as hell, so i really apologize for you having to read about an idiot at work, if you could tell me were im going wrong id really appreciate it. Again thanks for helping everyone you have.

.........................I AM JUST DUMB AS HELL. didnt realise i could add patched boot and recovery by simply pushing bootimg etc after i loaded up scatter file to add the patched files.....never used sp flash tool. HAPPY BUNNY.......you are a star
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] channELcee:
Ok im really confused??????? ive found the patched boot file and recovery file in a temp folder but dont know how to load these up. Do i have a modified scatter folder somewere on my comp that loads the patched files onto sp flash tool. If i follow your way it just brings up the unpatched files (backups) so doing my head in......hate an unrooted phone. to much rubbish on it. arrrrrgggh. Others havent had a problem so dont know what im doing wrong. The fact i have the patched files means i know ive done most of it right, as i say just dont know how to get the patched files via scatter folder. Cheers
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrizzly92:
just load your scatterfile into flashtool as you did before,. flashtool will tell you that preloader and dsp_bl are not checked, but that is ok. you can klick on the box on the left side of "bootimg" , now it should be enabled and then klik onto bootimg. it should open a window where you can search for your modified boot.img, select it and it should be loaded in flashtool. now connect your device and start flashing. this should be it. ;)

for easier handling, put a folder onto your desktop, name it "flash" or something, and put the scatterfile in there. also, get your modified boot.img from droidtools folder, put them in there too and remame it to just "boot.img". after opening the scatterfile from your flash folder, boot.img should be selected automatically and it should flash without problems.

Edit: just saw it now that you got it. :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] channELcee:
Thanks

Yeah i got it lol, just edited the wrong post. I knew it was summit simple i was missing. Had a bit of a dumb moment. Was only when i was reading back my own post i figured out what i was doin wrong hahaha ;) Again thanks.

Just a quick question, for some reason apps ive used in the past on rooted galaxy ace and other phones to move pre-installed apps to sd, dont seem to work on the liquid z120. like titanium backup/apps2sd/rootappdelete (all free versions) they only move apps i could already move. do you know of any apps that will work. The phones rooted no probs etc i just cant be arsed to do it manually (which i could of done without needing to root but i may flash a custom rom hence the root) As it stands im keeping it stock just wanna free up some space from CRAPPS as i call them ;)

Ok for a quick question that was a blooming essay.....my bad. and THANKS AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrizzly92:
well, i got no experience with that kind of apps. for me, i would install es file explorer or something like that, then navigate to /system/apps/ and remove the app you want to remove. (*.apk+*.odex file, if there is any , so e.g. "Browser.apk" and "Browser.odex"

you can also copy them out of system folder onto your sd.

i would play wth that stuff a bit, you can learn-by-doing cause you hopefully did a full backup after successfully rooting your device. ;) if not, DO IT ! :)

mtk6573 chinese phone

Worked great for me, with spflash tools though, noticed a little glitch. In the generated scatter text it loads default settings for system.img. MTKdroid tools save mine as a system.ext4.img. I had to copy that over to the !Files for spflash folder open the scatter and edit the system.img to read as system.ext4.img. Another thing, for nvram it reads as none, it will flash the nvram.bin if you edit the scatter text and add nvram.bin change false to true and copy the nvram to the !files folder, it will flash. If you want to use the patched one MTKDroid made, then just do the same in the recovery folder, copy the patched boot and patched recovery to the !files for spflash, edit the scatter text to recognize the patched images and poof, works :)

After spending an entire day trying to figure out how to get SP Flash to flash my phone, can't get the battery out unless I tear up my tablet, accidentally found out that if you let your battery completely drain it will work. Another method did it by accident, hold the power button, click download than connect the tablet it will load. Just a note for those who can't take out the battery, worked for me. If your bricked and stuck in a bootloop you can always find where the reset button is to power off, hold a pin in it and do the same thing.

Thing is, downloaded Mt657xRepartition-HK-Phone-Rom-Edit-em-English.apk "Is Not All In English", so if you cannot read the language that pops up after selecting a partition and you click the wrong thing, you are bricked, bad bricked, bricked bricked bricked. Will screw your phone and your sdcard up, formats your sdcard so that if you have a 16gb sdcard and you chose 4gb, that 4gb is gone and CWM can no longer read your sdcard. It is basically like a virus for the mtk6573 and sdcards. Not sure if this was intentional or not but it is a bricker of bricks. Downloaded it from XDA somewhere, just can't remember where. Can't recover the card now, it's garbage, unless somebody knows how to recover that partition with some tool. Already dried dd=/dev/zero sdformater, shred -n nothing, i can't get it back and until i either fix it or buy a new one, my phone is still somewhat bricked.
