Do you mean that you replaced the touchscreen? Because it was broken or faulty? In that case, the software may need replacing to a later version that has the correct driver. THL changed from a 5 point multi touch screen to a 10 point.

It's also possible you damaged something doing the replacement.

If you don't have CWM or TWRP recovery, you will need SP Flash Tools to replace stock recovery so the SD card can be used for zipped ROM installs, but if it bootloops even in recovery, you won't be able to flash it at all, unless you can use SP Flash Tools with a Windows PC.

If you dismantled it to do a screen, check your work, maybe a connector or something is not installed properly.

My daughter's W200S arrived today. Tonight is a hands on appraisal and setup for her :laugh:

It will be interesting to compare with my W200 in respect to performance difference and whether that translates to the user experience, or if the W200 is already powerful enough that it will be a negligable difference.

Edit:

First thing noticed, the battery is exactly the same to look at but the maximum charged voltage is higher than W200 and it's rated at 2000MAh compared to 1800MAh for W200. I suspect it's the same battery being overcharged a little. I hope it doesn't fail early....

It would be interesting to put one in a W200 and see if it lasts any longer. I bet it wouldn't, because the charger would stop at the same voltage as normal.

Miljenko, it's already rooted and Viper Audio installed, does MTK droid tools work on W200S for replacing recovery? Or do you have to use SPFT?

Another fix in the W200S is headphone button now working. Surely this fix can be translated to W200 for a smart Dev :P

There are lots of little "fixes" in this and now I do want one. It's the phone the W200 should have been.....

Edit:

One thing, so far it doesn't sound as good for music. Will have to fiddle with that.

Yes. I change the touchscreen because is broken.

In recovery don't bootloop. In recovery work properly and stable.

Please, you link me necessarly rom and procedure complete?

sp flash tools work on virtualbox? Or alternative for linux?
[Android General] RobboW:
Which recovery do you have? If you have CWM or TWRP, this is what you need.

V2 firmware. You must have aftermarket recovery to use it because it is a zip file that installs off SD in recovery mode. The stock recovery cannot do this

http://www.pandawillforum.com/showthread.php?24168-THL-W200-Pandawill-firmware

If you have stock recovery, your only option is to flash the recovery partition to CWM or TWRP (I prefer CWM as it's simpler) with SP Flash Tools so that you can then install the zipped ROM after wiping caches.

Here are tools to do this. The hardest bit is getting the PC to see the phone without a battery and allow SPFT to access it. If you can get Windows drivers working then you need SP Flash Tools and the CWM recovery plus the scatterfile. A Windows VM should work, but I like to minimise risks when flashing a phone.

I am novice with smartphone.

I have to replace the touchscreen because the first one is broken. After installing the new one the screen is always black, but it have some light behind and I heard the THL music when it starts, but no picture.

I tried to install a new firmware from needrom but when I install the file using flash tools I have the following message : Image FAT checksum failed! checksum reference value (0×0) in the config ini file.

Please re-fill correct checksum values in Checksum.INI under tool folder and re-load scatter file again!

with this one the screen works, but tells me encryption unsuccessful, you need to perform a factory reset.

Very hard to install a firmware, 3 days to perform this (drivers, sp flash tools, MTK, cwm, lot of things to understand before succeed).

I have wondered if I should install it again. Maybe I had remnants of zound mixed in with it. when installing the current Pandawill ROM, I started clean, right from stock ROM with SPFT and it runs nice. The only issue is occasional shut down when it's in my pocket. It never does it if music is on, so I suspect a sleep issue with proximity sensor covered.
[Android General] MiguelferraZ:
Maybe is that. I never had those shut down issues, but I never tried the Pandawill ROM though.

screen replacement

Hi,

some news with my problems. Now it's work but the brightness is very low, even in the maximum.

The good rom was the 140111, I tried all of them. The problem of encryption unsuccessful was due to the fact that I installed the 140111 after a rom non adapted (the 130817). Then i come back to the factory rom (the 130815) and then install the 140111 for the screen, and the phone works great. Only the screen brightness not enough luminous. Do you have any idea to correct it?

thank you
[Android General] RobboW:
Does it have xposed framework and gravitybox installed? If so, there are adjustments that can be made to brightness levels outside of stock settings. Basically you can alter it away from standard graduations.

I know it's a basic setting, but have you looked at the stock brightness setting for the screen? Maybe it's that? Either set it manually or turn on auto brightness if it's not already. I always use my phone on auto but do tweak the settings in gravitybox.

I think someone needs to start a new W200S thread because I can see that confusion is going to cause problems in here. People will be trying to use mods and ROMS for one phone on the other model. It's bad enough that there are at least 3 different screens in W200.

As an extra help, everyone should edit their signature to show which phone they have, but we need to mention W200 or W200S in posts when seeking help. They may look the same, but the basic insides of the phone are quite different in key areas.

No Sim Card

Hello,

Could someone please help me? I am at the end of my rope. I have rooted, installed CWM, installed Pandawill Rom and partitioned using Meteos MTK6589 tool. Now my phone will not detect either sim card. I have gone into Engineering mode and typed in both IMEI numbers rebooted, and still nothing. I tried flashing the backup, nothing. I tried flashing the rom again after wiping the cache and the dalvik cache and doing a factory reset. Nothing. I don't know what else to do. Please, someone help me.

My phone is the ThL w200, btw.
[Android General] RobboW:
Was the backup done before re-partitioning? It won't work then.

I've flashed my phone many times and never lost my IMEI numbers so have no idea why you lost yours unless something messed up memory sectors that shouldn't have been touched. To get best chance of recovering it, I would go back to 100% stock via SP Flash Tools to correct partitioning, then root, CWM recovery and work on IMEI fixing before doing anything else. If you get the IMEI numbers fixed, then re-partition whilst standard BEFORE wiping caches and flashing to a custom ROM. You must have wiped more than needed when re-flashing it.
[Android General] Tha Customizer:
Robbo

The phone was rooted, CWM installed and Pandawill flashed. I followed the instructions on Modaco to the letter. When I rebooted, partitioning worked, but phone kept saying No Service. I typed the numbers in Engineering mode and they're showing there. I tried reflashing Pandawill thinking that would fix it. I don't have a working stock rom that can be flashed via SPFT. The only one that "worked" rendered my touchscreen useless. I have the one that was on my phone, but that can only be flashed via CWM or TWRP.

Restore IMEI

IMEI & SN Writer all-in-one .

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0By4yfi56THIKdWgtY25KVm8tVzA/edit

How to restore IMEI:

1. Install the driver cdc.

-Open the Device Manager, the phone is switched to connect to a computer

-Turn off the phone after it's shut down and vibrates, wait a few seconds and we press the power button with one hand and the volume rocker down and vacations. You should see the logo and the inscription in the lower left corner of the 'META MODE'.

-After that, the manager should see an unknown device, it is necessary to have time to click on it, right-click, click Update Driver and select the driver file from my Android Cdc driver

(Installation of unsigned drivers on Windows 8/8.1 impossible without booting the system off mode verify digital signatures, you must be considered)

2. Now you can begin to restore

-Enabled phone connected to the computer

-Open-IMEI SN WRITER, put a checkmark next to the fields that we want to flash and enter them what you need (IMEI, address, serial number, etc.)

-In section settings platform turns the "smartphone" and choosing USB connection.

-Then press start, quickly turn off the phone and enter in the meta mode ('Turn off the phone after it's shut down and vibrates wait a couple of seconds and clamped one hand the power button and volume rocker down. Should see the logo and the inscription in the lower left corner' META MODE '). Process should begin flashing, and after the big green OK! disable the phone from the computer.

w200 screen brightness

Hi,

I installed Xposed framework and Gravitybox but no changes in the brightness of the phone, seems that changes made on gravitybox ignored by the phone.

Maybe THL made the screen like that to save battery. It's a pity because even photos are too dark, the colous are not great.

If someone can change this with a new rom it's would be cool.

Hey guys, I recently got me a w200 and been trying for like 2 weeks now to install a new rom. I have had success rooting it via Framaroot App, installed the mobileuncle MTK Tools, and tried to flash CWM with it. Mobileucle did neither get me an error message nor anything like "hooray cwm installed", it just offers me to reboot to recovery everytime I tried to install. But when I want to boot to recovery, either with volume+power or from the mobileuncle app, I only get a grey screen which darkens and then stays black :/ The original chinese Recovery or whatever it is, is displayed correctly, i can move through the items and everything seems okay with that. I tried with 2 different IMGs for cwm, both were mutiple times reported as working; "W200_130703__recovery_130813-120100.img" (downloaded from the XA Thread about firmware and tools for the w200) and "W200_130712__recovery_130825-123122.img" (got this one from a guide on modaco, should be one of the first hits on google as i dont know if links to other forums would be allowed here) both give me the same dark screen without any function.

So any help or ideas are greatly appreciated, I tried googling the problem and also searched this thread but anything related with the keyword "error" leads to mostly Flashtool problems and anything with "black" or "black screen" leads to problems with new screens which wouldnt work or whatever... So yeah, searching for a particular problem is a hard task in this thread..
