New update.zip for F20

I've found the time to have another look at the update.zip for the F20 I produced and am ashamed to admit I completely forgot to edit the build.prop on the first version :eek:. Which is why it wouldn't flash on the F20. I have fixed the build.prop and rebuilt the update.zip, see attachment, hopefully this time around it will work :fingers-crossed: all downloads moved to first post.

If you require instructions for flashing, have a look at my first post.

I'm afraid I can't be of much help, as I've never encountered a problem upgrading the firmware.

I'm not familiar with 'cmw', or do you mean 'cwm' (ClockWorkMod?). CWM won't work on the TizzBird, if you want it to, ask the developer of CWM.

XBMC won't run either, as it's targeted at devices running on armv7a+neon, the TizzBird is armv6. So unless someone manages to compile XBMC for armv6, no luck there.

No idea :p

F30 and Aandroid 4, any chance ?

Hi Folks,

Do you know if there is any chance to upgrade the Tizzbird F30 to android 4 or at least android 3 ??:D

thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
Not that I'm aware of (have been Googling for that recently, but haven't found anything).

The most current official firmware is Android 2.3.5. This version was released by TizzBird on 2013-07-27. Given that it's now been almost half a year since the last update and considering the age of this device (originally released mid-2011 I believe), I won't be holding my breath for anything official at least.

I'm tempted to look into attempting compiling a custom rom, but having never done something like that, I can't be sure if and when I will manage, so don't hold your breath for that either ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fksuperstar:
need help i was try alot method to boot up my f30 , nut no luck anyone face this problem before ?

and i've try to boot in recovery also no luck .. the red light just keep dimmer and blinking .

need help ..:crying::crying::crying:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
I've had this same problem after flashing a rom that wouldn't boot (blinking power light and nothing on screen). I was able to enter recovery by unplugging the unit, plugging it back in, then turning it on with the remote and immediately pressing the red 'DEV'-button (keep hitting that button until recovery pops up).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] finouxi:
Hi,

Do you think that is it possible to adapt it for F11 tizz ?, I dream to root my F11.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
Hi finouxi,

I have taken a look at the F11 firmware and it appears to be very similar to the F20. So similar in fact, that I believe you can just use the F20 update.zip I posted earlier. Please let me know if this works for you :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] finouxi:
root tizzbird F11

Unfortunately ....it does not work:crying::crying::crying:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
Oops, sorry about that - I forgot to have a look at the build.prop files, of course the model names in there don't match between the F20 and F11.

I've made an update.zip for the F11, it's attached to this post all downloads moved to first post. If needed, instructions on how to flash can be found at the start of this thread.

Please let me know if this one does work :fingers-crossed:

Sorry for my english,

But i have a tizzbird f30 with firmware v1, is there any button or something that i can come in the recovery mode?

it doesnt boot anymore

Thnx!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
Hi Pascal073,

According to the manual (rev 2.1x, page 92), firmware version 2.0.6 or later is required to enter recovery mode. You can try the usual method of continuously hitting the red 'DEV' button on your remote immediately after powering on the device. Also I've had mine refuse to boot once, I unplugged the power cord, left it for a minute, then plugged it back in and it booted again. Unfortunately I don't have any more suggestions, I hope this will work for you :fingers-crossed:.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Janus1810:

Tizzbird N1

Hi I have the latest fw on my N1, and I have formatted the usb mem to Fat32 (also tried ntfs, exFat, Fat) but recovery cant recognise the usb.

I have done as OP says but no go.

Also tried a different usb mem. 4gb and 8gb

E: Waiting for attaching device....

E: failed to mount /usb_sda1 (No such file or directory)

E:unknown fs_type "auto" for /usb_sda1

Anyone have a clue on how to fix this?

EDIT: Stupid me tried from the USB OTG and not the actual stick.

All works as it should now. Thx

Hi

Thanx a lot for root process, I would like to try but I've no clue on where my remote is.

Is there a way to enter in recovery mode via TizzRemote2 ? googleling give me no result.

Regards

Fab
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
Hmm that's a problem I don't have an answer to. You can reboot into recovery via adb, but since the TizzBird does not have a slave usb port to access adb, you'd first need to tell adb to connect via tcp - which requires root access.

The only 2 options I can think of are to either obtain root somehow and use adb over tcp to get into the recovery, or somehow send the correct scancode during boot. The scancode from the red DEV button is 0xED (237 in decimal), but I haven't found a way to send that with a normal keyboard. You could install an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.keyeventdisplay and try some other remotes, if some button were to produce a scancode of 237 that should work.

I've also tried a few different 'reboot into recovery' apps, but none of them did the trick unfortunately.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
Good news everyone!

Good news, I found a way to get root without the need for your remote after all :D

Download the appropriate update.zip from the first post. Now instead of renaming it to just 'update.zip', rename it to 'TizzBird_F3x_update_root.zip'. Place this file on a USB stick and plug the stick into your F30. Now from the F30's file browser, navigate to the USB stick and you will see that this update.zip has a special icon (looks like a chip). The TizzBird sees the update.zip as a system update and you can open it. You will get a confirmation prompt, choose 'Install now'. The TizzBird will automatically reboot, flash the update.zip and reboot again.

Please let me know if this worked for you :)

can some one help with ROOT rom or custom rom for Tizzbird F13 ? it looks like the same as Tizzbird F10 ?

here is I can find firmware for F13 http://www.tizzbird.se/download.htm

but when I install it - its full of lags and hardly working rom. when I tried root from F10 - update.zip - it says some troubles with signature.

any solution how can I install proper ROM for that box?

when I tried ROM from here - http://peejseej.nl/tizzbird-f10/

it says " assert failed: less_than_int bla-bla...(please see attached picture)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
Have a look at my updated first post, I've cobbled together an update.zip that should give you root on the F13. Give it a try and please let me know if it does the trick :D.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] radiogen:
root works.

shall I try to install custom ROM from F10 now?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
Won't work - the F10 and F13 are built around different chips. The F10 uses the tcc9300st (armv6 instruction set) and the F13 uses the tcc8920st (armv7a instruction set). On top of that, the F10 uses the yaffs2 filesystem, while the F13 uses ext4, and there's a whole bunch of other incompatibilities as well.

For future reference, I would strongly recommend against trying to flash a rom that is meant for a different device. Best case scenario is it refuses to flash (as in your case), worst case you brick your device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] radiogen:
I understand.

So what can I do with that brick? Is there any ROM with xbmc or openolec etc? What people do with such devices after root install??? Any suggestion? I dont afraid to test anything on it as i dont need it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
When a device gets 'bricked', that means it doesn't work anymore. In other words, it has the same usefulness as a brick.

Not that I know of. You could try searching for one, but I haven't come across any custom roms for any TizzBird device yet, other than modified original roms.

Root gives you all kinds of options: you can remove system apps (1MobileMarket for example), there are certain apps that require root (an app that wants access to network ports <1024 for example), you can access ADB over the network, etc. You could turn your device into a NAS, or a webserver, or host a MySQL database for multiple XBMC clients, just to name a few options.

As far as running XBMC on your F13 is concerned, you don't need root at all, just go to http://kodi.tv/download/, download the Android version and try if it will run on your device.

Is TizzBird F30 = Moneual Mopix 500

Hi guys, i have abosolutely the same device like F30 - desing, colors, interface, menus, everything like F30, even TizzRemote work and recognize it like Tizz device.

The current version is 1.26~ Did you think is possible to upgrade it to TizzBird FW 2.20. The Firmware upgrade function from System, tell me that there is no version available.

Tried with USB, from File Menu with *.tzbird file, the device didn't recognize it like firmware file. Any ideas ?

Best regards
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
If the devices are indeed identical on a hardware level then you're probably dealing with a re-branded version of the TizzBird firmware. Meaning any firmware updates would have to come from Moneual. And given the recent news about Moneual's practices I highly doubt you can expect one. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Moneual didn't do any development in the first place and just placed a one-time order for re-branded hardware & firmware.

Anyway, long story short, assuming the hardware is indeed identical, you should theoretically be able to flash the TizzBird firmware - how to get the device to accept that firmware however is a different story. A good place to start would be the original firmware, but I wasn't able to find it.

Given the firmware version you mentioned (1.26) I doubt you will be able to boot into recovery, but it's worth a try anyway, perhaps you will have more luck flashing that way or at least receive a useful error message.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lowlevel:
Hi, thx for the answer. I've checked now in my archives, even the firmware files that i have are with *.tzbird extension - Mopix_500_update_V1_13_12010214.tzbird. That's why i think maybe is possible to upgrade the device to 2.20 from TizzBird.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spartelfant:
Have you tried booting into recovery yet? If you can, try flashing the most recent TizzBird firmware in recovery from a USB stick.

Problem with original Firmware Update TizzBird stick n1

hi, my name is Jhonatan. and I'm Italian,

I do not know if I should introduce myself, in some forum thread.

I just bought a stick TizzBird n1:

On the official website there was an update for my model and I foolishly made a firmware update, putting it in the SD partition, not in the TF card or USB stick.

Now each time you reboot, will show up a completely green droid standing in the center on a black background, and remains locked, he could not in any way, with the remote control, to enter Recovery Mode, or Safe Mode.

I tried to insert the update again, renamed "update.zip" in both the TF Card and in a connected USB key, but I can not reset it.

How can I recover?

can I upload the firmware from USB port connected to PC?

Thanks so much for any help.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] limache:
Hi I am a prospective HTC One buyer (my iPhone 4S is getting wonky + i'm tired of the slow 3G speeds). I'm thinking of buying the One because I want to be on the 4G LTE network since it's the same price for my monthly bill but I don't know how good or bad 4G LTE is in NYC? I've seen some threads here but they are from a year ago or more so I would like to hear some real life experiences with LTE in NYC for sprint? I'm confused because in the news it's officially launched but when I go to the sprint stores, they say NYC doesn't have LTE??

I'm also thinking of getting the HTC One because of the free 23 Gbs for Dropbox - I know it's carrier specific (Verizon & Sprint). My question is, do you have to stick with the stock rom in order to keep using the 23 Gbs or what? I'm guessing it won't matter but I don't know if they can authenticate it somehow if you switch from Sprint's official rom to something custom.

Lastly I'm very confused about the bootloader situation - I remember hearing about HTC wanted to lock their bootloader or something to that effect. I just want to know if the HTC One can still be rooted and get the free tethering feature (with LTE support or just 3G? When I had an EVO, the tethering only worked for 3G, not WiMax) as well flash custom roms? Thank you!

I'm getting bored of my iPhone (which is crashing on me a lot) and even though I still have a year left on my contract, I am thinking about just buying the phone outright from sprint for the full price because I want LTE and that big ass screen lol.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
I think Sensorly is available for iPhones-- if you download it, you'll be able to get a pretty reasonable coverage map of your area that's not from corporate (which is important because it may also show you areas where Sprint hasn't officially announced LTE, but still has it operational). And yes, you can can keep the extra space no matter what ROM you're on-- once Dropbox confirms you're valid for the promotion, that stuff remains server-side (otherwise, anyone owning multiple devices would be in for a huge headache).

Almost all HTC phones have their bootloaders locked, but Sprint's variant is unlockable as per usual by following instructions at HTCDev. When you do so though, HTC will log your device as being unlocked (since you need the unlock key from HTC to do so) and it may become a sticking point if you need to ever use manufacturer warranty.

4G tethering works as far as I know.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] limache:
Thanks for the sensorly. According to the website, it says there is 4G in NYC! However, on the iOS app nothing shows up. I don't see any coverage of any kind (i.e. not for 3G, 4G etc).

Okay gotcha so it's still possible to root the HTC One but you just need a key from HTC and be ready to give up the warranty. Okay that sounds good! Anyone have any experience with their HTC One in NYC? I'm just curious how New Yorkers' experience with the One and 4G has been. I'm from Brooklyn btw but I go to Manhattan all the time.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Matstarr:
My LTE speeds in NYC vary anywhere from 31mbs to 3 Mbs depending on location
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
Errr really? Try uninstalling/reinstalling it? And are you sure you're looking at coverage maps for Sprint? I can see something up top near NYC.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Dogie52:
I second this I only get respectable 4G in Queens, and some parts of Brooklyn (around 20 down at like 11 pm) it's very spotty in manhattan.

Hi all,

I am retiring my old HTC wildfire and imagined a perfect purpose: to use it as a music streaming device (I am probably not the first one to think of that) but the thing I would like to check if someone knows of any way to do this is: is there a way to remote change songs, volume etc?

So basically something like this or this but instead of the phone controlling the computer, I am looking for a way to do this from another phone (or computer) to a phone?

Just to confirm. I had to change my.build.prop from r800at to r800i or order for controls to work. Sure it will be sorted quickly by Sega.
