[Android General] cappa72:
ROW or Chinese?

Dear Mates,

I do not know what the real difference between ROW and Chinese types.

What I could see is the difference between the scatter files.

It means that the partitions a bit different.

What I would like to know how I can figure out the type. (/proc/dumchar_info and /proc/partitions file I would need)

The reason is I am asking it is a fact that the phone cannot boot, only the recovery is available.

In the recovery mode the adb is available, so I can access the the phone.

What is interesting is the difference between the /proc/dumchar_info and the /proc/partition:

proc/dumchar_info:

bmtpool 0x0000000001500000 0x00000000ff9f00a8 2 /dev/block/mmcblk0

The size of the preload and the fat are really strange for me.

The /proc/partition says:

179 0 3792000 mmcblk0
179 1 1 mmcblk0p1
179 2 10240 mmcblk0p2
179 3 10240 mmcblk0p3
179 4 6144 mmcblk0p4
179 5 917504 mmcblk0p5
179 6 129024 mmcblk0p6
179 7 1048576 mmcblk0p7

This says about 7 partitions only.

Can anybody provide me with your /proc/dumchar_info and /proc/partitions please? With you phone type.

I would like to flash the correct stock firmware to have it back to alive.

edit:

I checked the original PMT session it does not contain any link to the preload partiion, so it looks that it is a chinese type.

But I am still not sure.

If anybody, who has got ROW type phone, can provide the __NODL_PMT part of the ROM, please?

edit2:

Finally solved:

As I felt, the PMT showed the rigth type. So I Flashed the S141 official ROM and the phone became alive again and works as intended.

Also I ported a CWM 6.0.2.8 for this version, and you can find it here. The source is provided by apeelme.

md5sum: d6de50a43be8dd7aa205eacdfd6053eb

The CWM tested for backup and restore.

Thanks in advance.
