Whichever stock ROM runs it properly as this will fix your partitions. Do you know what was in it originally?

You should be able to run a VM and do it with SPFT, can slip CWM in there same time that way, but I'm not a Mac guy so can't offer any help with that.

The only reason to flash with SPFT is to repair the partitioning, start fully clean so you can get it running sweet and re-partition it properly before changing ROM again. Many of the ROMs are too large (grow once installed) for original partition. Once you've done the hard work, just use CWM to re-flash later with full cache cleans to get rid of remnants of previous systems. I had issues in the past and went through this whole process and now it is very stable on Pandawill with a lot of mods. Runs much better than original. Mine is an old version W200 with 5 point multi touch screen. Newer versions have a 10 point screen.

CWM - black display on new lcd

Hello,

Just replaced my broken lcd.

After replacing I had black screen

installed thru FlashTool this rom - ThL.156C.W200.140227.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589T

The screen came back to lifo :good:

I used Frameroot to add root - OK

Installed CWM recovery - W200_130712__recovery_130825-123122

But when I try to get into CWM the screen go to black and I can not get into CWM

I guess thie CWM do not support my new LCD ?

Is there a solution ?

Thank you
[Android General] layup23:
Yes, you're going to need a different version of CWM, try this one https://yadi.sk/d/8ZwCnxcfKYeLF

Work !!!!

Thank you.

Few more questions please :

1. should I install a new firmware like : ThL.W200.156.140310.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589T

What will be the benefits ?

2. If I repartition my nand - can I install modified roms without a problem ?

3. Is there a recommended rom ?

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

Few more :

4. What is differences between kernel version ?

5. does every phone support all kernels ? If so - should I install the latest one ?

(mine is very old except for the new screen)

I now have a working phone - but I have the urge to make it better :laugh:

So, as it stands I put my hands on a Windows 7 machine, run SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01 and performed "format > autoformat flash" and "Download > Download" (with download only as option) flashing over ThL.W200.156.140310.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589T.

Then I rooted, installed CWM, performed full wipe of user data, cache and dalvik, partitioned with 2GB (and 0 swap).

Finally I flashed over THL.W200.Pandawill.V2.CWM but I just get a black screen. I also tried to install pandawill via SPFL but with no success. Any advice?

Just a follow up on the Mic problems I was having a while back. Hitting the phone made the Mic work again for a while but eventually it packed in completely.

Fortunately I found the sub board for sale on aliexpress. A couple off weeks and $16 later, the board arrived, I installed it (no photos but it was pretty simple) and the phone works perfectly again!

Does OTG work with the w200 using these modified roms?

Hi all,

Long time lurker, First time talker, I'm amazed at how much innovation and conversation this phone-set struck up! Nearly 250 pages worth of discussions, patches, and Roms, not bad for a phone released only a year or two ago! I digress, I recently got the W200 (yes w200 no 's' at the end) and I'm about to take the plunge with installing one of the roms, based on what I read (and it was a LOT) the Pandawill rom is the way to go -

I also installed an app called USB OTG checker to verify if I had OTG enabled at all on my stock firmware (ThL.W200.130815.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589T) and it said yes, I had the API in place but when it comes to actually testing it out I get nothing, no USB keyboards/mice detected, etc. - I was wondering - is OTG working for anyone with the modified roms?

Thanks for reading!
[Android General] Matticus_Finch:
Is it rooted yet? USB OTG wont work without it.

I tried to use "USB OTG Helper" to access files on USB drives and couldn't get it to mount a drive. I don't think it was compatible with this phone, worked ok on a nexus though.

baseband

Hello everyone.

* someone has the MOLY.WR8.W1248........V7 on the THL W200 phone?

tns so much
[Android General] layup23:
As far as I know, with all the development (what I've read on 4pda) there's no OTG function for our phone. At least no one is saying anything about it on the forums.

Saruman, that's not the firmware version. This is the title of the firmware version (an example) "ThL.W200.130815.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589T" and the numbers that are in bold are the ones which represent your firmware number.
[Android General] sarumans:

[Android General] weejamm:
[MENTION=5581276]Matticus_Finch[/MENTION] Yep, rooted it is!

[MENTION=5110466]layup23[/MENTION] Bummer I was hoping against it :< - I tried Google translating the 4pda stuff but Google tends to butcher crucial information, not its fault though. I guess I'll just go ahead with trying out a PS3 controller and the Pandawill ROM then.

Edit: I've actually never done this for a phone (I did it for a tablet once but it was a VERY different process) Does the first post cover the backup procedure as well ? At first glance I didn't see any references to one, It'd be great if we had like a: Before installing a ROM, use this link to back up your current setup using XYZ: <insert link>

AFTER UPDATE ROM The Touch Screen NOT TURN.

Hello friend, I need your help. Recently my W200 THL began to have problems at the camera, trying to connect the message "Can not connect to camera". I heard that changing the ROM or firmware update could solve the problem. Sought information on the net and found this tutorial androidxda.com text and other youtube.com I downloaded the files from the following source dropbox.com follow in the footsteps of two tutorials, and tried to update the ROM alone, but NOT worked, my problem has increased, now the my W200 THL league but without lights display, the screen is completely black. I can hear the sound of THL W200 turn on, but the screen is completely black. The HOME button and the BACK and MENU buttons respond to touch, but the screen is black. What kind of procedure should I take to have my W200 THL back. Original Touch Screen querou him after a fall. I'm using a Touch Screen replacement. At the time of the exchange tried installing the Touch Screen alone and found a similar situation as of now. I spoke with the seller of the Touch Screen and he recommended me to update the firmware. Do not know this procedure and found my best envirar W200 THL for him in China. It worked and he gave me OK. Now is it this answer? I need to update the firmware again? Can you help me? Please help me. If possible, we can use the tool TeamViewer for remote access to my PC and you can help me in real time. I look forward to an answer, my email: romulocamelo@gmail.com

Hi

I have owned a THL W200 for around eight months now, reasonably happy with the phone however its got pretty 'buggy' over the last few months.

I rooted the device when I discovered that I could only use 1gb of the phone for Apps, tbh its the first time I have done this on any device. I had to follow instructions on here. I did not change the ROM though.

The problems I have are, whenever I switch off the phone, or the battery runs dry I have to unlock the SIM on startup. Also, quite often the phone forgets my ring tone and I have to reset it. The phone also 'forgets' my contacts, in order to get them back I have to unmount the SIM in settings, once I reactivate the SIM my contacts return. I have also lost my gallery photos on one occasion.

Its a cracking phone for the price and a workmate of mine is thinking of getting one, i just cant recommend it though based on the 'bugs' in the system. Do you think I have caused these issues by rooting the device? Anybody else have the same problems as me?

help plz beginer

Hallo everybody

I am an owner of a thl w200 android phone.

I have it a bit after easter. It was working fine till i broke the screen. The replacement came i changed it and hear starts the problems. The screen arrived is different from the one the phone came with. Being a new with android phones i have tried to follow the topic but to much data and a bit codified for me.Anyway i used the flash tool to autoformat. Then i have flashed the stocj memory (ThL.W200.130817.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589T ). The phone opens but the screen remains black. Then i flash the (ThL.156C.W200.140227.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P64_MT6589T) the phone opes the screen lights up but touching the screen makes no diference. I have copied in the sd card the (W200_130712__recovery_130825-123122) but cant actually open it cause the screen does not work. Any suggestions? Hope it can be solved cause i can affored for the moment another phone.

Thanks a lot

ps.originally 130703 and kernel 3.4.5.Thanks

Hi all, I need some help with my THL w200. 1 week ago installed my first custom rom - MIUI V5 but I found many buggs that I didn't like so i decided to change the rom. But since then, every new ROM i try to install cause same thing - After installation is done the phone is running, I see the logo (for example lewa os with the frog) and after 2-3 seconds the phone is restarting and keep doing the same thing. It can't start it just restart as I can see and nothing. Then I have to use SP FLASH TOOL and install the original ROM wich works normal. Can someone tell me where is the problem and what can I do.

I hope you understood me right since my english is not the best!

After a couple of months of using this phone the Camera stopped working entirely (I did the little trick with removing the screws and placing something to press harder on the camera connector as well as blowing on it and cleaning it) and also my power button is no longer working. I mean it works but only once every week. The sad thing is that I can't power up the device once it shuts down.

Luckily I'm using my volume buttons to wake the device but even they can't work properly now... I don't know if it's because I messed with the phone when I opened it to fix the camera or maybe it's just a bad phone....

I dont sure that using sp flash tool is the solution and I do not know how to bring my phone back to live.

thl w200 stuck in boot loop

Well hello.

After doing a lot of research, flashing and mostly wasting time for nothing, i turn to you for help.

Thl w200 stuck in boot screen. When ibturn it on reguraly, tbe thl kogo turns on, after about a minute, it reboots, and the kogo comes on. After a minute same loop happens.

When i try get into recovery (vol+ and pwr) same thing happens, only the loop takes about 15 secs.

When i try vol- and pwr, the logo comes on, and a small "factory mode" text pops for a second at the bottom of the screen, but the boot loop remains.

I've tried every suitable version of rom, formatting, flashing the bootloader, using different versions of sp flashtool. Every time the flashtool says ok, after the process is finished, and yet the bootloop remains.

I don't know how it got to this situation, according to the person i got it from, it "just happened".

I've checked with a multimeter wiether the phone charges, it gave me 3.8v at the battery connectors (i used the slow charger), and the battery gave 3.7v at output, so it seems ok.

I've tested it a few times on a different w200 model, before charging and after, and the percents went up. So i can eliminate battery ptoblem.

I have no idea what to do next, if any of you can guide me to the solution, it will more than appreciated, by any means, here, through pm, or even on a skype talk or whatever.

I really need this, as a student whos gonna start his exams in a few weeks, i can't afford waste anymore time on it (trust me, i've wasted hours on this issue)
