Dude I only started this thread Today :laugh: Please check I think you are posting in the wrong thread which kind of proves my point :eek:

As for the Hauwei it's a great phone I have no doubt :good: but for something I regularly lose, drop and break I will stick with my cheap but reliable MTK's.

Thanks for input anyway :laugh:
[Android General] jg77:
Good idea!

Love to see some structured support for these devices, instead of scattered through the forums. Especially now I see more and more of the MTK devices being used overhere (NL).
[Android General] 1chris89:
lol yeah idk i guess Star n9588 isn't too solid... know where i can find replacement parts for these mtk phones?
[Android General] x1123:
XDA Mods only interesting in "International Brand" .. I believed, if XDA were not response properly. Other forum will accomodate MTK SoC and thousands of user wil say Good bye to XDA. I saw it is like BOX market, Volcano Box, GPG Jtag they quicly accomodate MTK and their selling volume getting very high. MTK Provide cheap phone, MTK Market share will quickly go to Top. With that big amount of users, facebook, google, needrom, and many android forum will happily welcoming them by a nice girl with miniskirt presenting : donut, eclaur, froyo, gingerbread, ice cream sandwich, jelly bean probably along with beer, coffee, tea and wine .... :D
[Android General] DeLonge:
i agree..

i just buy acer liquid e2 v370 with around US$200. i love this phone. great spec with affordable price. mtk device is quite powerfull imo. play fullhd movie, record fullhd, playing games, all without problem.

i support this, mtk device will grow bigger and bigger in the future :D
[Android General] Brick3d:
:good: yes yes yes :good:

[Android General] andynroid:
Agreed too there are possibilities the topics on are jumbled all over the place we need to have our very own thread a ZTE V793 user too :p
[Android General] bigrammy:
We have a very kind offer on the table from a very very popular website who is willing to provide subdomain and web host for our MTK SoC forum. :highfive:

No girls in miniskirts presenting it though :laugh:

I think we should give xda a few more days to consider their position on the Mediatek SoC first maybe they will have a change of heart :fingers-crossed:

Does anyone have experience in building and running a forum or know anyone who would be prepared to take this task on :eek:
[Android General] ccdreadcc:
or u can start mob violence against xda as protest.. just kidding ;)

Sent from a potato oO
[Android General] sajibcy:
Totally agree with op.
[Android General] bigrammy:
Hehe :laugh:

I do not want to start any revolutions or a MTK SoC spring here on xda :o

When I pop into the HTC part of the forum everything is well laid out and it is easy to navigate around :good:

Our poor SoC (which lets face it may just as well be a phone manufacturer in its own right given the closeness of all our devices :silly: ) is scattered all over the forum and it's a total nightmare navigating around :eek:

I just do not understand why we cannot be properly accommodated here on xda surely it cannot be that difficult what we are asking :confused:
[Android General] zelendel:
Mostly because devices that have this chip are clone device and Chinese knock offs. Which we don't support. Also alot of these devices do not follow the GPL which is also against our rules.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[Android General] bigrammy:
Well that's the weakest answer I have ever heard here :rolleyes:

Did you even read the first post :rolleyes:

Lenovo, Huawei, ZTE, Newman, Zopo and ACER to name but a few are world leaders buddy. :silly:

As I said in the first post the knock off's BS is pretty much a thing of the past. Sure they exist but it's not limited to the MTK SoC I have seen knock off's with a host of SoC's so your arguments do not really hold up there.

As for GPL there are many issues with most manufacturers that are not forthcoming with the GPL so do we ignore them too :confused:

I think you should at least do some research before disrespecting our community like this. :(

BTW is this the official answer or just your own ill informed opinion :confused:

Regards bigrammy :cool:
[Android General] zelendel:
If a device doesn't follow the GPL. They don't get a forums. Plain and simple. If a device gets enough development they can request a forum but there has to be a good amount of development first. And to be honest those devices you listed are not available world wide. And without being available world wide the feel will be little to no development for them unless you guys pick it up. And unless they comply with the GPL they will not get a forum here.

And no we don't need to accommodate anyone. The MIUI devices have a huge following but do they have a forum? Nope. They don't follow the GPL so no forum

Wayne Tech Nexus
[Android General] bigrammy:
Well thanks for the reply [MENTION=1140856]zelendel[/MENTION] at least we know where we stand now :(

I do not agree with you on any point but you are the boss here so I must respect your decision not to support our already massive and still growing community. :crying:

I come from Huddersfield in the UK and live not far from Sir Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luke Picard) and he has likened the MTK SoC community to the Borg So please remeber Resistance is Futile zelendel :laugh:
[Android General] zelendel:
The GPL laws are even valid in the UK. Until the chips are used more world wide or you guys pick up development for them, and they comply with the gpl there is not much that we will do.

As for the borg. Lol they remind me of Apple lol.

Now as this thread has run it's course. Thread closed

Unfortunately, I don't have a backup of mmcblk0p5, but even if I try (out of desperation) to flash someone else's mmcblk0p5, ID doesn't change from zeros. I managed to run CM7 from external sdcard, but installing CM onto mmc doesn't seem to work.

Ubuntu Total Reflash from this forum flashed al successfully, but failed on recovering stage and since then it just bootloops to that point (boot -> factory reset fails -> reboot).

Now trying to flash stock ROM 1.4.0, but don't think it'll work. Any advice?

P.S. Now found something strange: mmcblkp7 (seventh partition is gone, and that seem to repeat after every recovery option I try).

Your NT's factory installed device info (ProductID, manufactured data, etc.) and individual device data (serial no., MAC address, security encryption keys, etc.) are stored in p5 and p7, if you reformatted these two partitions all that info was wiped out and the individual device data can't be replaced with data from another NT. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31 for more details.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dojik:
Oh, that's unfortunate. I didn't wipe it by myself, it just suddenly got stuck after i got ~4% of battery charge the other day. Can I do something for it?

P.S. Or, if nothing can be done, what's the most simplistic/minimalistic yet full-[stock]-feature ROM for sdcard available? Disregarding Android verion.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dojik:
Huh, seems like I did it. I even can't recall all the steps I performed, but it included just little more messing up with gdisk/parted, trying to wipe all data and caches through CWM and install CM10.1, but that failed as usually, so I just uploaded Veronica's mmcblk0p5 again, then I thought "wtf, let's give it another try" and applied Ubuntu Total Reflash procedure and it worked! All of a sudden, I have my factory-state Nook (saying nothing about case cracks and fractures ^_^).

So, now I'm going to share link to this post with all the people I think are relevant to this question and ask them: is that normal? Can I try to flash CM 10.1 now without *too much* risk of getting my dear brick again? Thanks in advance.

UPD: Checked ID, MAC and so on - seems to be different from 00...0, but I'm not sure whether it's still unique (i reckon that they are like Veronica's now).

UPD2: Installed CM 10.1 rather successfully. I guess, someone can add to FAQ that even with broken mmcblk0p5 one still could help himself.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_ave:
Hello, first of all i'm using sock rooted 4.1.2. yesterday i had several updates pending - maps 7, G+, whatsapp, es file explorer and 2 more, i don't remember which exactly. being excited after i read that after update maps is no longer running all the time i rushed to update them. right after that i started experiencing some strange battery drain issues - better battery stats are reporting high drain from NLP wake locks. i cleares maps' cache and also disabled location reporting (although it was turned on prior the update and it was not causing trouble) but the issue is still there. in the stock battery monitor i see that while the screen is off something is waking up the device repeatedly at a certain interval. i'm using both better battery stats and wakelock detector, but i see nothing apart from the NLP wakelocks. I don't know what can be causing this - newest maps app, or the whatsapp - greenify reports whatsapp starting a lot, but i don't see it in both better battery stats or in the wakelock detector. any ideas? will clearing cache and dalvik could fix this? has anyone else noticed battery drain after latest maps update?

I don't think its really worthwhile getting the red one if you already have the original silver one. Surely you cant love red that much? :p

Them finally being instore is good news though, I've been holding off an upgrade to my HOX for some time - especially after I've dropped it so many times the screen is nigh on unusable. Wasn't really convinced with the HTC1, but the red does look nice. Will check tomorrow! Either that or keep making do with an iPhone 4 till the apparently 'upgraded HTC one' comes out later this year, or the 'M8' next year.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fracker:
I want to install cwm recovery on the GT-i9300 China Clone. I tried lots of ways, but nothing...

1) Is there fastboot driver for this model?

2) There was a command which boot phone directly into CWM from the image. I am unable to find it, anyone has it?

My main problem is GAPPS. Some how lots of things like google play store, account sync is missing. Also, having issue with the speaker, which I want to fix. Thinking may be it is the issue with the rom. My cell is rooted, so one kid messed with it.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ronr:
I finally resolved this after a long time. First you have to set up the connection to go to "cmwap", not "cmnet" and configure the proxy settings (there is another thread in xda-developers on this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=338810), then you need to configure the MMS mailbox. Open Messaging and choose Tools->Options from the menu. On the list of mailboxes, click on MMS. This opens the configuration. Click the Servers tab and then the New button. Server name is whatever you want, Gateway is 10.0.0.172 (same as proxy), port is 9201 (WAP), Server Address is http://mmmc.monternet.com. The "Connect via" should be the one you already created, then change the WAP version to 1.2. Save this and then on the next screen click on the new name and click on the "Set as Default" button.

Things should now work fine.

Last night everything was quite allright with my marvel. Then i slept. Morning when i woke up i tried to unlock the phone to check the time. But screen didn't show up. I tried several times but it didn't. So i removed the battery and started the phone. It took long time to boot (about 5 minutes on white htc screen). When it turned on touch screen didn't work. But hardware keys (volume, power) were working. I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery (it also took long time to boot.) My rom was alquez's Cyanagenmod 7.2. I flashed it to another rom (Cyanagenmod 10.1). But the problem isn't solved. Phone starts desipite of long time but i can't do anything because of the touch screen doesn't work. Also i realized that proximity sensor always lids up (red). The light never off. Additionally phone powers on and loops into white htc screen when connected the charger. When connected charger while powered on the red notification light don't light up and charging very slow.

Fix permissions

Then flash the rom again. Should work fine then. Read and follow the instructions on the Rom page and you should be fine.
