Brilliant!

So simple and that has done the job :good::p

I can now access the phone with SPFT and have the CWM5 recovery on my W200 :laugh:

I used my laptop as I administer most of my things with it.

I booted into recovery to check CWM is indeed installed, then re-booted properly and all is good.

Next, work out how to take a backup of the firmware.

I found THL W200 white version, You can see on this site: http://www.thlmobilestore.com
[Android General] RobboW:
Anybody been able to download that custom ThL W200 - RO.EDi ROFuSiON RoM yet?

I decided to take it on good faith and did a small donation, it didn't allow me any way to download the ROM, so at this point it looks like a con.

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Yes, it is now in white too, if you like that. Not for me.

Edit:

It's not a con, RO EDi is above board on this, just make donation (leaving identifier like THL W200) and wait for his email.
[Android General] lmmerono:
Missing in action??? :rolleyes:

No one has seen.?? :eek:

Is it because they have not donated?? :rolleyes:

ROFuSiON

My work it is Not a con !

I may have many project's on course and right i am working on the best from the internet USB Live BooT system's.

So it is indeed very, very hard work.

So if i respond a few hours latter it doesn't mean that u are being fooled.

Like i said i work a looot and this is giving me very little time, and more RobboW when u make a donation

please Specify that is for something, "like ThL W200" so that i could know for what that money are !

Also i want to point out that i wont release public my work since it is a hard work to do and i already had

worked and me alone had rising the ThL W100 community from zero.

And they treated me bad want everything and even more from me, funny they thinked that many owned me and my work.

Also in one month i didn't had 1 cent from nobody.

And i bring them CWM Recovery, Infos, ROFuSiON Rom's and many, many others.

If u don't belive me ask into the ThL W100 community. my former name was phenomenalxp.

So bottom point if someone don't understand something or someone please don't offend him !

Thank u all for understanding !
[Android General] RobboW:
Sorry for doubting RO EDi, I have wrongly assumed there was some automatic mechanism to reach a download link with successful donation. I look forward to seeing your work on this. BTW, can I ask, what is considered a fair donation amount? I wasn't sure.

Also, can I suggest you put a little more detail about the donation and download process on the web page, then these misunderstandings would not happen :)

There's plenty of people who like to try these things, but are not what guys like you would call experienced, so you are always going to be finding new people interested, who have no idea who you are. The internet is full of sharks so a trusted rep is hard to maintain.

[Android General] RobboW:

I think this phone is going to be quite popular and will need it's own sub forum so these different mods and issues can have dedicated threads.

If a mod could be so kind as to create one, it would be much appreciated, then we can populate it and organise things instead of trawling through this one thread :good:

OEM flip case, battery, LCD screen, hard case

This website thlmobilemall has OEM accessories perhaps the flip case would help. you could also email them and ask for a back case. They are adding different items all the time so check back in a week or two.

this site en.thl.com.cn has official roms for thl phones but not thlw200 at the moment
[Android General] lmmerono:
custom rom??

You understand that do not agree with you, the Linux forums, Androy, Ubuntu, etc, are for "the free exchange of ideas and projects" is not a market in which someone comes before teaching your merchandise "because it's hard their work ".

Hope you're not saying that the great masters who are "HELPING" true to the Community are below your creation?.

NONE of them (even the supposedly Eastern Europe worse off than us) has used DEMAND "DONATIONS" so you can see that "WORK DESERVES YOUR PRIZE".

NEWS WHEN YOU COME WORK DESERVES TO BE SURE TO BE REWARDED, if not in this life in the other.

For me at least, your job is respectable but IT IS NOT MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED, THOUSAND FOR NOT SAYING THAT IS PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND NOT profit from IT.

It's the same as a radio amateur money for a Didea ask that benefit the entire community. Intolerable.:confused:

GOOD HUNTING.

Depends what u mean by that, and more what do u understand from that !

Free means that all the Android devices smartphones/tablets should came with unlocked bootloader, unlocked network, and with sources.

This & That will be Free !

Y are spanish right ?!

Yeah u must be.

I closed my project's ThL w100 public available becouse of persons like u. Many dev's are quiting because of some.

[Android General] RobboW:
I was going to wait for the weekend to do anything more on my phone but tonight I put my SIMs back in the old phones and cleared out all my stuff from my W200 then did a system reset, installed ES File Explorer from internal SD, re-rooted it, checked the LED .so mod is still in place and CWM recovery works. Now trying to connect with MKT Droid Tools to make a backup of it. It won't connect again, so going through the process of trying to re-install drivers.

Edit:

Hmmmm....

It connects fine with SP flash tools but not MKT droid tools. Does anyone know if the phone should be running or off?

If off, battery in or out?

Edit:

Managed to connect by going into CWM mode, but when the backup was in process there was a warning of an error and if I load the scatterfile in SPFT, it comes up with an error. Maybe because it's rooted and recovery is CWM?

I'll leave this alone till my son's phone gets here and try getting backup from it, but if I feel trying to flash is risky, it won't happen. I'll leave it as is and not experiment.
[Android General] lmmerono:
Efectivamente, soy Español y quizás por eso no me dejo engañar facilmente por personas, portugueses o chinos, que como tu que creen que solo su trabajo merece ser pagado y que el trabajo de los demas se puede plagiar y aprobecharse de ellos.

Lo que, insisto, no hace nadie mas que tú es pretender cobrar por un trabajo que no se conoce, no se ha visto si tiene fallos y que, repito, antes de conocerlo, quieras cobrar aunque sea "una donacion".

Eso no ocurre ni siquiera con software de lideres mundiales, cuando te lo ofrecen ya lo han probado "GRATIS" los tester y ya se sabe que funciona,. A esos si se les puede pagar por adelantado.

No te contestaré en un futuro, no merece la pena ensuciar el un ambiente tan fluido y correcto como el de este foro.

y ahora traducido (google translator) a Ingles.

Indeed, I am Spanish and maybe that's why I do not easily fooled by people, Portuguese or Chinese, who like you who only believe that only their work deserves to be paid and that the work of others may be copied and aprobecharse of them.

What, again, no one else does is pretend you charge for a job is not known, it has been if it is buggy and, again, before you know, want to charge even a "donation".

That does not happen with software even world leaders, when I have tried offer "FREE" the tester and you know it works,. To these if they can pay in advance.

Do not answer in the future, not worth dirtying the environment as fluid and smooth as this forum.

I am sorry

Pray apologize to the moderator and the rest of the forum for this unpleasant but necessary, in my judgment, intervention, therefore, will not answer to any questioning of ro.edi.:rolleyes:
[Android General] Stenlius:
I used it to manage my connections, to turn off data connection automatically. Of course you can turn off manually, but I've tried the lazy way :). Anyway, I'm getting around 35-40 h of battery life, which is fine. For autobrightness I use YAAB from the market, I've messed up original autobrightness with GravitiBox :).

What is 'zero shutter delay' option in camera? What is it doing ?
[Android General] RobboW:
With my Galaxy Wonder, I messed up the responsiveness of the CPU by adding a CPU app ,then later, I ruined my launcher with another mod, to the point the phone was able to boot but then get stuck in a FC error loop. I ended up flashing the firmware back over the top and it overwrote the bad files. That fixed it and it ran smooth again. Didn't lose any data etc. Now I won't mess about with memory, battery or CPU management apps.

It's a bit different in a well managed and sorted custom ROM of course, but messing with a mostly stock manufacturers ROM with apps from google play, IMO, leads to issues.

Should be flashing my W200 with the RO EDi custom ROM tomorrow sometime.

I'm not going to enter into the debate about any of what has been posted, I will say, his kit is a well organised thing and I'm keen to check it out.

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Maybe constant focus so it's ready to shoot all the time? If so, it would be a battery drainer.

Or in video mode and grabbing a frame?
[Android General] TOR11:
The phone must be switched on and off. Click on Download, you remove battery, put back and then the process begins.

About the recovery, I've installed from MobilUncleTools. I installed the one I have generated with MTKDroidTools.

If you perform a clean installation, you could change the recovery again for he who comes in the rom and then proceed to install the rom.
[Android General] dissidius:
Just root it with framaroot app it's ultra easy i just got the phone today and i say that Chinese people rules this quality for this price for us in Europe is a theft to the company!
[Android General] RobboW:
I use One Click to root mine. It's very easy and done via PC with the phone running, so less chance of issues.

I just used SPFT and flashed RO EDi's CWM6 recovery to mine. I can put his custom ROM on my SD and flash it any time now :D

Edit:

Have flashed to Rofusion ROM, time to experiment :)
[Android General] RobboW:
I think I'll flash it back for now, there's a glitch. When my screen blanks I can't wake it up properly and then have to re-boot. I couldn't find any settings for Pure Audio either, so went back to stock audio.

And the flip out protective screen cover. I'm tempted by that.

http://thlmobilemall.com/thl-w200-c-13.html

BTW, for those now playing with CWM recovery etc, it may help to turn off "Quick Boot".

Go into system settings/accessibility and uncheck Quick boot.

I found that with it on, it was hard to get to recovery at boot, it would just start the OS instead.

Maybe it's a little like suspend to RAM on a PC?
[Android General] elsita:
if you have made a recovery for this phone different that the one we are using it would be nice if you share it
[Android General] lmmerono:
And continues his "marcketing."

Do not worry he's going about his business, his rom should always be in Alpha stage, because it is always assuming that improvement is picking that even the manufacturers have achieved and is not currently fully usable even though, according to him, is the biggest and best "rom maker" not the world, not of this galaxy, or this universe, but "All universes", but it has to be self-advertisement because it does not sell one. Same case happened with a rom for Lenoco A2107A-H, tried to charge 5 Pounds (of course I have it for free as hundreds of A2107A-H owners) and ultimately not met if more than 25 pounds total, for this, nor even that.

While newcomers find to "hunt".

I have not read any comments over this "custom", nothing more than him, I'm looking forward to some colleague who have deeper knowledge (and not have to ask "from where you can take out a stock rom and CWM for W200 "give us your opinion, but I think that ultimately and are giving his total silence on this rom).

"I would beg to Moderator that commercials like this, move to paragraph own, I suppose it's the "Buy and Sell":confused:
[Android General] elsita:
No marketing here, I freely (of course) share with you a full CWM recovery just made with mtkdroidtools from my THL W200 with rom dated 130712 the last one avalaible AFAIK and that came with my mobile a couple of days ago from banggood.

You can install it with mobileuncletools from the play store if you are already root, I installed that way.

[Android General] elsita:
I should try a wipe data factory reset before going into hardware

if it is a hardware problem it could be the speaker itself but also some connection, I should send it back to the seller for a replacement if the problem is a hardware one, but try a wipe before, you may have altered some setting that even a recovery backup cannot undo, this wouldn't be the first case with android devices

Tried everything now I'm pretty sure but yesterday sth happened since i was playing with vibrate and sound once when i unlocked the screen it did that noise that does when its being unlocked but very low audio though i had put audible things at max
[Android General] ludoo:
I managed to get hold of a backup with the latest firmware, from 0806. I rooted and packaged it for installation through recovery. I removed lots of apps that can be installed from play store (maps, calendar, google keyboard, etc) so that they can greenified as user apps. If someone needs them in /system I can prepare a zip install package with the missing apps.

Other things apart from root and init.d support, are the addition of the CM file manager and CM DSP effects, Walkman player and Xperia S keyboard.

The firmware contains a new baseband, so it might be worth an update. Or you can just grab the baseband from the zip (in /system/etc/firmware/modem.img) and put it on your phone if you don't want to install mine.

http://goo.gl/Ru1QLR

It's also on needrom if any of you gets ROMs from there.
[Android General] dissidius:
How do we install this with cwm backup and restore or install zip from sd card??

Thanks
[Android General] ludoo:
It's a zip with updater script inside, you need to install it as a zip from recovery. :) Then wipe cache though it might be unnecessary.

Backup your system partition first, just to be sure.
[Android General] RobboW:
I'll have to get on my PC later and have a look :P

Where did you find the ROM?

My son's W200 arrived yesterday. I couldn't get a backup with droid tools so I installed CWM and got a CWM backup off it before it was turned on. It still has the same firmware version as mine.

From XDA app with my W200.
[Android General] ludoo:
From a fellow user on the Italian Androidiani forum, who got a new phone yesterday. I guess some sellers still ship phones from older batches.
[Android General] RobboW:
Thanks Ludoo, if possible, yes, a zip with the deleted apps would be great. A good way to restore a phone fast and get it running with minimal fuss.

Do you have access to something like beats audio?

Keyboard wise, I use TouchPal keyboard with iPhone skin, best I've used yet and free from Google Play.

I'm going to try installing that Sony app in my phone with my current firmware. Might look at swapping out the baseband, see if that does anything, although my phone works fine as is. It's actually quite good being so vanilla Jellybean because custom firmware is not really needed, just nice to grab some tasty apps and the odd little mod for it, or more up to date firmware.

I can see this phone will be a dev plaything before long :cool:

Edit:

I installed DSP Manager, Walkman and Experia Keyboard, Walkman works but cannot access DSP Manager or stock equaliser. DSP Manager does nothing with my OS, I can turn on and off the options, adjust equaliser etc but no difference is heard. Xperia keyboard doesn't work.

That was a failed experiment, lol.

I'll have to try the firmware to check it all out :)

[Android General] RobboW:
Do you mean the flip cover? Are you saying it is weak rubbish, or that the original back case is weak?

I find, being such a large phone, it flexes a lot when I remove the back cover. Makes me worry I'll break the phone and I don't want to be pulling the cover off any more, so CWM is good, rather than backup methods where the battery has to be out.

whay is the RMA number in other words and should i be sincere with those at banggood

com and tell them straight that i took the phone to a service just to now what the problem was just to tell them beforehand about the problem ??? in fact i stayed with the guy at the service when he opened it up to diagnose the prob.

cause i fear that if i dont tell them its been opened they will not fix it so ill just pay money for nothing .

what is your opinion???
