You said that we can flash over previous?

So we can just go to flash zip from sd card and start flashing without any wipes? Will the data be lost?

On stock rom - latest version.

This is latest phone, recently purchased this month, with 1.5 GHz, MTK6589T processor.

Build number:

THl.W200.130817.JBV".HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589T

Baseband Version:

MOLY.WR8.W1248MD.WG.MP.V6.P8,2013/06/18 09:46

Doesn't work with either V1 or V2 or your Rom, but did work with the lighter version of the rom from 4pda, ROM Note 3 from the link in post 1417on this forum:
[Android General] miljenko:
I can try make working ROM for other LCD screens, but you and other members need to understand that I made this ROM for my personal use and it is working for me. THL W200 is my daily phone and I don't have other phone to use during flashing, testing, bricking etc. Second thing, I'm at work from 08 - 18, and I can work on this only when I have spare time.

Lets get back to business, try to extract boot.img (kernel) from your phone and I will check what is difference.

---------- Post added at 04:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

UPDATE2

Can I ask people with the black screen for a favor? If you have working screen on slimmed version of my Note3 custom ROM from 4PDA, just open both zip packages and copy "boot.img" from slimmed version to my V2 ROM. They look exactly the same but maybe I overlooked something in the code.

Thanks

UPDATE 3

I don't mind if people will share this ROM anywhere, but please give credits to me and XDA community.

Also, if you want to change structure, or ROM in general please as for permission, I have spent reasonable amount of time to create this.

THL W200 "Can't connect to camera"

Solution for "Can't connect to camera".

Problem description:

Sometimes camera do not work on THL W200 (Sometimes both cameras and flash). Rebooting device helps temporarily. Sometimes you can see vertical noise stripes on camera window. As somebody posted: sometimes removing and putting back cover - temporarily solves problems. If You have this problem here is permanent solution:

Be aware if You do this on Your own or by some technician not from THL You'll loose Your warranty. (There'is a warranty sticker on a one screw). And as always - I take no any responsibility. Do it if You want, don't do it if You're scared or haven't disassembled any small part electronic equipment.

First I used manual from "showtopic=477275&st=3420#entry25822546" from 4pda.ru to disassemble phone's case "plate" on 12 screws I have noticed that soft small pieces of rubber which is attached to case plate on inner side is surely overheated and melted, so it doesn't press well on camera's flex cable socket (I have also noticed heat coming from this place on heavy phone load):

(Photo 1) - One melted small piece of rubber

So I decided to temporarily test this by placing some sticker cuts on them:

(Photo 2) - Place to put sticker (in red on photo) rectangular cuts.

(Photo 3) - I placed them in two layers because of them being very thin (both - 0,3mm) (And i know that I wasn't accurate to cut well :angel: )

Problem disappeared completely. So real fix would be to replace those melted pieces of rubber with temperature resistant ones.

Sorry for my english I do my best. And it's my first post on xda.
[Android General] peter_90:
So you have to unmount the camera first? How do you do that?

When you say gums, you mean small pieces of rubber that are glued there? And why exactly are those gums there?
[Android General] muaddibus:
1.No just cover which is screwed with 12 screws.

2.-

3.Yes. Sorry again for my english. RUBBER. I'll remember that.

4. Not sure, but when placing cover back - rubbers are exactly on flex cable sockets.

Going to edit my post..
[Android General] peter_90:
Were you using the phone heavily, for example playing for a long time, so that the temperature increased and the rubber melted?

That tape was just temporaly - to test if it works. Now I have replaced it with freshly cut rubber/foam.(Sorry forgot to take a pictures). This time I cutted nicely :D. Removed old melted ones.

Access Internal SD with CWM on W200

Hi all,

Maybe a newbie question... I got my w200 screen crashed, so I cannot access to the phone because screen is not responding. I would like to extract my images/videos/docs but connecting with USB (once the phone is On and Android loaded properly) doesn't allow me to access files (empty folder in PC). I don't know why this happens...

I was trying to access those user files through CWM recovery, but when trying to mount /sdcard, an error is shown: Error mounting /sdcard. Any ideas about how to access my files to backup/extract them?

Thanks a lot and regards!

Buying any phone on-line through another country is always a bit of a lottery. You can get one with everything working fine or one with some issues.

If you/friends/relatives are traveling through Singapore (even on transit), ask them to go to Sim Lim Square - http://www.simlimsquare.com.sg

It does not take long to get from the airport to that building. Its filled with gadgets. Take the elevator to the 4th floor. Opposite the elevator on the 4th Floor is a booth selling phones and tablets from China. Check out the W200 and discuss the price. When you are happy with the price, he will bring a new phone and let you test it out. This is your chance to make sure it swipes well, screen OK, no pixel issues, etc. Once you are happy, hand over the cash and you get the new phone and a receipt. That is how I got my phone. They come with 2 batteries but no case. I bought my flip case from the thlmobile site posted by others.

There are a few other sellers from the 4th floor onwards selling dual-sim phones from China. Take your pick.

Good luck. :) ;)

How do you set the camera to save pictures to the SD card and not internal storage? Cannot find anywhere to do this?

Also, I have set apps to save to the sd card by clicking 'SD Card' in Settings / Storage, but they still seem to be still saving to internal storage. Any idea why?
[Android General] Sargos76:
Storage/preferred install location
[Android General] layup23:
Just like Sargos said you need to chose Sd card as the main storage.

If you did that and you still can't save the pictures there make sure you have enough space on your Sd card and restart the phone. After you do that check to see if the Sd is the default storage selected. It should work now.
[Android General] Spasm45:
Thanks for your answers.

I'm afraid Singapore is out of the question presently, but I have a supplier in the EU that I also ordered the Pomp from. It's not as much as a gamble because it's all covered by warranty and so on. Of course it'd be better if I could take the phone into my own hands and play around with it, but eh, can't have everything. I suppose I'll just bite the bullet one more time and order the W200. I'll make sure to complain in this thread if anything goes wrong :silly:
[Android General] layup23:
Just do like I did.

When you place the order ask the supplier to check for the following this : If the phone can connect to the camera, if the phone shows 1,5ghz in antutu and if the speaker works.

These are the most common issues with the Thl w200. They are pretty rare but they do occur.

Hello!

My english is not very good.

My colleague bought this phone.

Launched it for the first time - all OK.

Added sim-card.

Lowest sensor buttons began not working.

Sim-card was removed.

Lowest sensor buttons not working.

But if when the phone is active user presses power button for long time the sensor buttons are lighted but user cant press them

The phone was resetted by menu to factory defaults. No result.

Is it the hardware problem or soft problem?

Can i fix it by myself?

Thank You!
[Android General] RobboW:
If the phone is as delivered, and within warranty period, why not contact the vendor it was purchased from? I would do that as first course of action, rather than asking on a forum that encourages serious modification that invalidates warranty......
[Android General] kast2k2001:
The problem is that the phone has been delivered from China. In Russia there is no official supplier. Sending postal price from Saint-Petersburg to China is about 75$ which is about 50% of phone cost. So my colleague cant send the phone back.

Another words, he has no warranty. So i'm asking here
[Android General] Sargos76:
Hi, root te phone, and probably that problem will desapear
[Android General] layup23:
When you say the sensor is lighted up do you mean the Led notification? Or the proximity sensors ?

I didn't understand the part with the sensors lighted up. If you could please explain some more, see what we can do.

Since you're from Russia I guess you already posted this problem on 4pda, right? If not visit that website see if maybe they know more regarding this.
[Android General] RobboW:
Could be a hardware issue. The LEDs are sepparate to the button touch, but could also be a software issue. If the phone is rooted and install CWM recovery, can flash a Ludoo ROM (based on standard ROM) and see if it helps.

Main problem is, which ROM because there were at least 3 LCD screens and some ROMs don't have the right driver to run it.

If you go to settings and see which ROM revision is in it, then someone should be able to say which ROM can be flashed to it and work the screen.
