[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kigsuha:
I don't have the same problem but i flashed the latest version of official rom for iOcean x7 Youth : 03 july 2013 : and wtf no more internal sdcard only the rom stockage. So i can't download anything, i can't use camera :( .

On the official website, I read that before flashing the 20 may 2013 rom one and the 03 July 2013 one, your baseband version have to be 23/04 or higher( you have to flash the 23/04 official rom first). This is only avalaible for the YOUTH version.

So tomorrow i will try what i said below to see if i have internal sd card again.

Clearly: Wrong driver. I had also this error. SPflash tool did not readback. I did not flash anything! I fixed this by showing the nonpresent devices in devicemanagement (google for show nonpresent devices for explanation)

Go to com ports, and delete all mediatek drivers except preloader driver. Now start over. It can help if you choose the same usb port where you had success last time.

SP flash tool shows in the statusbar which driver it is using.

Yes, you got it :)

SP Flash Tool couldn't find my phone, but now it works

It's exactly a windoze driver problem.

Having the same issue after trying to update my iOcean X7...

I wasn't a fan of SP Flashtools before and I hate it know, as my phone does nothing anymore..

Detection of SP flashtool seens like a driver problem indeed.

A few suggestions have been given, but nobody has the ultimate fix?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaw2floor:
Select 1 item at a time to flash. I used to get loads of errors until I did that
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voetbalremco:
Fixed it already after trying for half a day...

For anyone else having this issue:

It really depends on wich SP Flashtool version you use.

The version in the OP seems to be working good, even without mt65xx preloader drivers, but with Mediatek VCOM or USB drivers.

Seems like they are truly unbrickable, however, it can cause headaches :laugh:

If you delete your IMEI after flashing your phone, you can restore it via MTKDroidtools.

download it and run as administrator and click on IMEI/NVRAM.

your phone IMEI is Located at the back of your phone, remove the battery and find your IMEI. put it on MTKDroidtools and rebuild your IMEI, then reboot your phone.

X7 youth bricked

Hi,

I also have a bricked iocean phone.

After experimenting with some ROMs I wanted to go back to stock firmware. To get everything clean, I formatted the device with flashtool, and after that I could not flash anything anymore.

My device is an iocean X7 youth (not Turbo), 1GB RAM, 4GB ROM. It is recognized as MTK USB Port (COM 7).

I tried several versions of SP Flash tool from 3.1316 to 5.1452 and several ROMs:

MP_mt89_v9_iocean_oushengX7_jb2_20130403-123352_zhongyetao_PC

MP_mt89_v9_iocean_ousheng_jb2_20130703-171236_wangguangyang_PC

MP_mt89_v9_iocean_ousheng_jb2_20130423-184925_taoshuizhen_PC

Every time, the red bar fills completely, then nothing happens and after about 30 secs I get

S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI]

Does that mean there is some hardware error with the DRAM? or did the formatting erase something important?

Is there anything I can try?

Can someone upload a mtk droid tool backup from a working x7 youth, so i can get a correct preloader to flash back?

Lenovo P780 hard bricked (error 4032) solved (at least in my case)

Hello, after 3 days of trial I finally managed to flash my lenovo p780 (4GB) that was in this condition. More or less I did what is described in most forums, the differences between the successful attempt and the previous ones were the following.

1. I used SPflash tools v5 (the latest I found)

2. I used a ROM version (I think) close to the original one .My phone had a number 140421 at the lower part of the battery, I downloaded P780_ROW_S226_140919_Rooted_SPFlash_TWRP

3. I connected the phone which was turned off after pressing 'download'. AFTER CONNECTING IT I DID NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS, just waited for about 30 sec

4. I had chosen the Options/Download/DL DA all with checksum.

5. Before flashing I assosiated the .bin files of the downloaded ROM with the flash tools (right click on file, properties, opens with etc)

6. The whole process was done OFFLINE (I don't know if it matters I did not have access to network)

I hope this helps, good luck.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
For a while now I've been installing CM10.1 nightlies and never had an issue with Root Explorer. A couple days ago it stopped working and closes anytime I long-press anything. I have attached a screen shot of what it does.

Anyone have any ideas why it would do this? I can open it, give it access, even select boxes and delete stuff, but anytime I long-press anything, it closes. I used it and looked in the system/app folder but I can't even locate the app to try any maybe fix the permissions.

With that said, I have not purchased the app from the market, it was sent to me by a buddy. It's the newest one/update and I've never had a problem until a couple days ago. Any ideas would be great because I'm having issues with File Manager and I'm very familiar with RE now.

TL;DR Root Explorer is "Stopping" any time I long-press anything. Just started a couple days ago. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
You can try fixing permissions in recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
I tried that as well to no avail. Thanks, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
Have you tried deleting the app and re-installing by chance?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
I did, that didn't work either. I typically can search and almost find a solution to anything but this is getting to me. Thanks Andy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dznuts420:
I had the same problem. It turned out to be a permissions issue. I've got Xposed Framework installed with the Xprivacy module enabled. If you don't configure it to allow the correct permissions, it will crash upon opening. If it turned out to be a different issue, please post what you did to fix it.

BUGS:

Some black on black menus

MMS sending due to secmms and framework files. SMS works fine.

Phone status in about phone reading incorrect phone and min number due to secphone sectelephony secsettings and framework files

By downloading you agree that you understand this ROM is not perfect and have read the bugs list

Download:

https://copy.com/CkNjo - CURRENT - Initial 1.0.0.3 build

https://copy.com/69I19 - OLD

Features:

Extremely themed

Lean build

Odexed

Latest KT kernel and ktweaker by ktoonsez(7-24)

Kuban updater: do not flash kernels or updates from there.... Just the mods. When I am done with everything I plan to talk to ruj more about making an updater link specific to vzw kernels and updates.

Things that aren't bugs:

Where is my status bar clock: not there, add it in updater

Where is the battery icon: not there, add it in updater

Where is xyz: did you open the updater yet?

To install:

Download

Reboot recovery

Backup

Install

Reboot

It does all the wiping for you

Don't even bother posting or using this at all if you are just going to complain about it not working because you are unable to read the bugs list. :P I welcome bug reports that will help with the finishing of the port. But don't need 50 reports of the bugs I already posted :)

As usual with any ROM YMMV and your warranty is void.

I take zero credit for any theming or ruj's great work on his updater and his vision got the project. ~I asked his permission to work on the port and he said go ahead.~ I was asked by [MENTION=3057727]niv3d[/MENTION] to do this port and I loved the theming and have learned so much from ruj's work because I never did anything with odex files before this.

What's the difference between odex and de odex roms? Can you flash between them like any other rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Delakit:
Niiiiice. Used this for a while on my Sprint S4 before they finally terminated my contact for roaming. Very nice ROM. Was just about flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
You know when you boot up the first time and it says optimizing apps? It's pulling the dex file from the apk and placing it in dalvik. With odex the dex file is already seperated in a file named appname.odex and there is no optimizing on first boot.

You can switch freely between them. And subjectively I feel odex runs better and smoother. But everyone has their own opinions on it.

Dev differences: Odex is absolutely 100x "harder"/longer to work on though. To decompile an odexed ROM you must deodex it first, then decompile, edit, recompile, and then reodex. Any of the steps can fail causing you to have to retrace your steps to find the cause and solution

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jeremiah_1988:
Nice! I've never ran one but look forward to trying this! Is stock phone odex?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] an21281:
Nice, have been waiting for this!!! Thanks for the support

Also I don't see two different. Builds odex/deodex, where is everyone seeing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yes stock is odex

sent from my blu vzw gs4 :P

There is only odex. The updater is designed for odex. I have a deodexed version but it is only being used for my purposes of modifying files and testing.

sent from my blu vzw gs4 :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yes, the phone stock is odex. Devs usually deodex their roms cause like dubbsy said it's easier and also easier to theme/mod.

I also agree that odex is smoother and faster and some other devs do as well such as Scott from CleanROM for example.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jeremiah_1988:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
This rom is awesome so far, I can't wait to see the finished product!

I'm having 2 issues so far:

1. Auto brightness is not working correctly. It is much dimmer than normal. I went outside and the screen got brighter and then when I came inside it did not change. I locked the screen and when I woke the phone back up and unlocked it, it went dim again. Could this be a kernel issue? I'm using the one that came with the rom.

2. For some reason the mods aren't working for me. I downloaded the circle battery and flashed in recovery but it does nothing. In recovery it said something about failing to update framework so it reverted back with no changes. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I tried with GoSMS and can confirm that mms doesn't work unfortunately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jeremiah_1988:
Thanks man! I'll be looking for a fix!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I will look into the brightness issue. And I haven't had any issue related to the updater yet but I'll keep trying to recreate issues. I haven't tried all of the items yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
I really appreciate it bro! I may have incorrectly identified the brightness issue, it may have been my lighting conditions. I restored another ROM and it seemed similar, but this one may be a little darker. It might be something to look into.

Yeah I tried the circle battery mod and the center clock plus battery mod and neither worked.

But Dubbsy, can I please ask you a question that I must know the answer to? What in the world did you guys do with the signal? I have worked in the same office for 6 years now and we are a known Verizon dead spot. I have struggled and been frustrated for all of these 6 years. I barely hang on for dear life to a 4G signal. I usually only get -110-116dBm in my office. I can't even tell you how many times I couldn't download an app, text messages get bounced back, etc.

This is the first time EVER on any phone and any ROM that my signal is all of a sudden VASTLY improved. I am hovering in the -94-98dBm range, which is absolutely excellent for this place!!! I can now do everything since I flashed this, I can't even believe. I am literally about to shed a tear haha!

Can you please let me know what might have improved my signal so much?

Thanks a million, donation will be coming within the next week or so! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Ha! I was shocked too initially. It's all in the prop and init tweaks. I can't claim any of the signal work. That was all Ruj. In my office I get about 28mb/s down with it. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] niv3d:
It's ironic that you experience the signal boost. I say this because the same thing happened on the S3. For some reason it is related to the ROM being a Sprint ROM and now port. When the Goodness ROM was first ported to the S3 from Sprint, users were reporting vast signal increases as you have noticed here. I do wonder if it is reading the signal properly though...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThugosaurusRex:
Just the status bar customizations in the ota. I tried all of them and they all look weird. Ill redownload the rom and re flash since no one else has the same problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I normally get 14mb down on blu I get 28 in the same location. :shrug:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
You might be on to something there in part. It could be sprint tweaks their ROMs to compensate for their horrid network (I know I left them after 10 years of sprint service). Maybe they tweak their ROMs to make the most the poor signal they have.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] niv3d:
Hahaha! True point! I can relate to this also as I was with Sprint for 6 years before coming to Verizon 1 year ago. Still a very good decision to this day
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mademan420:
+1 I remember this on the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Awesome! Whatever you do, don't mess with those tweaks going forward....haha!! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drbveb88:
Hey guys. Someone with way more knowledge than me explained it to me in this fashion. Verizon roms have dbm and asu. Asu is for purely 4g. The higher the number the more stable the 4g is that your recieving. Sprint doesnt have a asu meter so the signal is read and processed differently. Magically producing better signal strength.

But I will say that running a sprint based rom like Goodness on my S3 gave me more data drops, missed calls and network errors than say a true verizon rom like clean rom did..

I am talking like 1 or 2 minor issues a week....NOT a dealbreaker by any means., I still choose to run goodness for months. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I just installed goodness on my buddy's ATT s3. He loves it. Just the right amount of customization with just the right about of stock that non-root users need to not freak out. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Hmm, interesting. I was wondering if it was just an optical illusion but I was able to open the Play Store and download apps without as many issues as before. Let me run a speed test and see what I get.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Just as an update, unfortunately the signal reading was an illusion.....at least I think. My speed test was the same as normal in my office and after I posted all of that I started getting some "retry connection" messages and hit and miss connection. It was good while it lasted!

Even so, I get just enough reception in here to do most of everything that I do while I'm at work which mostly just consists of texting, an occasional email and occasional app download.

Regardless, this ROM rocks!! The theming is absolutely perfect, I couldn't even ask for any changes. The performance is great as well. I simply can't wait for this ROM to be an official release with MMS fixed, etc.

Great job Dubbsy!
