when you flash his recovery USE ONLY the "recovery.img" file , if you flash his "boot.img" it will disable your rear camera.

to fix this just flash the original "boot.img" file from 130701 stock rom (only if you still at 130701 stock rom !)

i'm on LEWA too, camera not working here just like in 130529 version because we both have the NEW W100 camera hardware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
130701.... seems that the instructions which I followed by RO.Ed and his images (roms) may have crippled my camera... let me experiment...

I intend on flashing my phone with 130701 back to original, and then installing LeWA.

anyone see an issue with this before I try ? azarzar have you tried this ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dalambert:
can anyone help me?

I wonder if I have the new camera hardware in my thl w100. How can I know?

my stock firmware is 5.29.13 and I want to update to 7.1.13 , someone has done?

camera works?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] azarzar:
YES, i tried it.

this is how get your camera back :

1. flash to original rom 130701 from NEEDROM.

2. flash ONLY the "recovery.img" file of the CMW recovery 6.3.3.3 you have.

3.if you want to root your device get the "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.45.zip" zip file from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

flash if via CWM and you're rooted.

thats all...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
I'm back to a new flash of the default factory rom with working camera

I guess this should work for everyone who is on the new camera hardware and has flashed a different image on there phone

From NeedRom navigate to the THLW100 page

Download the relevant firmware for me it was THL W100 - Update 07/01/2013

Download Flashtools

Follow the instructions below on the same page (do not change the bootimage or recovery if you are using 07/01/2013)

uncheck PRELOADER

hit DOWNLOAD

follow the remaining instructions

once done, unplug phone from computer, take out battery, wait a minute, start up phone

give it a minute or two to start as its loading the software, your back to where you started with a working front and back camera

SPFlashtools works in win 8 64 bits?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xtremis2009:
Yes it does :) You have to disable the driver signing on Win8 temporarily (you have to do it at boot time, if you google for it, it's not hard to find :) ), and install the pre-loader drivers, and after that, SPFlash will work just fine :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] intrax:
Pls wait until fully uploaded its taking some time...

I see the original dp link was also published...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dalambert:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] intrax:
Well it's a reupload (still few hours to go) from the above link you republished...

I thought file was gone so I reuploaded, but yours should be same...

Allegedly it's a rom backup from a guy of a Russian forum so be carefull !

Still looking for official stock rom 130529..

Other question why did edi replace the bootimage on 130529 to install the cwm, was that necessary ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
-was there ever a stock rom 130529 and how do you know Edi replaced the bootimage on130509?

are you assuming this from the Build Number of the roms he distributed? (I'm just to figure things out).

does anyone know if there's any way I can SSH into the phone? I wouldn't mind taking a look around to see if I can work out how to get the camera drivers going?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xtremis2009:
I'm assuming you want to use SPFlash to install a ROM or something like that, as I did :)

First, you must follow the instructions to disable the driver signing enforcement on Win8 64bits. (can't post links, just google "Windows 8 64 bits disable driver signing").

After that, on Windows again, and following a normal ROM flashing instructions, you will need to connect your phone, without battery, to the computer, and then insert the battery, so that SPFlash can upload the files.

Before using SPFlash, open the Device Manager, so that you can see when the phone connects. Plug the phone without battery, insert the battery, and you will see for a moment a device with the yellow question mark on Device Manager, called something "Pre Loader". Quickly right-click on it, so you can update the drivers. Then pick the folder where you have all the drivers, so that Windows can recognize the phone at that "pre-loading" stage.

Keep in mind that these are different drivers from the USB storage ones :)

Also, I'm quoting from my head the steps I had to do to flash a Ro.EDI version, so I'm not sure if that is what you are trying to do, but for SPFlash to pick up my phone during the process, this is what I did :)

Let me know if you need anything else :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] intrax:
Yes my phone came with build: Thl.W100.130529.JBV2.HD.EN.COM.8P32_MT6589 and I'm still running it. It works fine ! Both camera's working...

Replacing the boot image was in edi's instructions on installing the cwm recovery, I'm just wondering why ?

Replacing the bootimage on 130701 seems to break the rear cam..

You can install sshdroid from berserker (need root!) and just SSH in...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty2k0:
fun times ahead.

3-4 different THL roms released, does this mean there are 3-4 different revisions of the phone. has anyone with an older model upgraded to the latest 130701 ?

if anyone makes a ROM it may be specific to particular revision of hardware, unless the different hardware is identified. is there an android program that probes the phone for hardware specifications? ie bios type / hardware revision etc?

intrax thanks for the help - I located sshdroid - ill start my experimenting tomorrow... time for sleep...

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

has anyone with an older model upgraded to the latest 130701 ? oh Rusty2k0 this is the million dollar question and nobody give me an answer (camera works???) I know that devices that came from factory with 130701 if you downgrade to an older firmware camera don't work. If update from an older version to 130701 it's probably that camera don't work because there are two hardware camera models and the new one is from 130701

Hello, i've read the last 10 pages about the custom roms for thl w100, but i really couldn't see what you guys think is the best room for w100, is there any custom rom that is better than the original? How can i see what version of the official thl w100 roms i'm using? I hope you can help me =) I've never flashed any rom on chinese phones before, so i'm kinda lost in that department :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] M Junaid:
does notification led works on receiving texts nw? and wat other changes did u noticed..pls share.

thanx
[Miscellaneous Android Development] damiankitai:
From my experience: Stick with stock. All the roms I tried are buggy and poorly written. They don't add any new function, and usually add bugs. They promise to keep developing the rom if they get donations, and when they don't, they leave you hanging with the bugs. There is nothing wrong with the STOCK rom, apart from the GPS distance measure bug present in ALL MTK6589 phones.

Also, there is no difference which stock version are you in, since THL doesn't add fixes or nothing important to the original stock version. When they change something in the hardware, they add the code and send the phones with a new version. But if you have an older hardware version, you don't need to upgrade, you won't gain nothing from it.

What you CAN do to improve the performance and the usability of the beloved W100 is add a few goodies and tweaks. Check cablecrypt's post in page 29 of this thread. I installed Busybox, Viper4Android, Universal Init.d and PurePerformanceX, on the stock, first edition thl w100, and it all works great.

Good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] M Junaid:
what version of Viper4Android shud i install? FX version of XHiFi version?

Well, this new rom have any improvement? i'm still thinking if i do update my stock for the new ones... And one last question, i was looking the SP Flash Tool and it has 3 options = "Format" - "Firmware -> Upgrade" - "Download". How should i use to flash the ROM update on the Thl w100? I was thinking in just test it, but i know that this program can softbrick the phone very easily :/
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty.2k:
go over to needrom take a look through the various images, you will find everything you need. including instructions ....

whatever you do - DO NOT FORMAT!

UNCHECK PRELOADER!

Regarding flashing your phone

There is a tutorial on needrom in one of the original firmware images...

I believe I may have already have attached a tutorial on how to flash in this thread somewhere ....

If you search XDA for SP Flash Tool - there are tutorials posted
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NecroW:
Thanks for the answer! My only question about is if the upgrade roms don't really add much to the phone, why upgrade? Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rusty.2k:
unknown really, we dont have a standard changelog by THL. we dont know if the roms are official or not...as they just appear on needrom...they appear to work and look and perform similar to what came shipped with the phones. The newer roms may provide:

internal system enhancements (boot animation was noted on one release)

bug fixes

performance increases

language dictionary files

etc

it is best to run with the latest version in my opinion, then again if its not broke don't try and fix it ;)

you can always apply the changes cablecrypt outlined mentioned by damiankitai previously and install GravityMod, making your very own custom rom based on stock

Try looking for Holo locker. it is simple and lightweight, look close to stock lock screen. But if u use it with pattern unlock, it will bring you to blue THL lockscreen again.

I haven't read the whole thread but it seems there are still people whining about the dictionary / spell checker.

Go to the play store, download Google Keyboard, by Google, and enable the spell check from that in the settings. You can still use your regular (eg SwiftKey, Swype) keyboard in combination with the Google keyboard spell checker / dictionary component. :good:

brightness issue

For brightness issue,

I'm using Lux (search it in Play Store since i still couldn't post any link) to dim the brightness to darker than it normally be.

So far it is a good solution to play game in my room when all light are off before i slept.

I also ignore the original Brightness slider bar and use Lux with Power toggle to make it easier to access the Lux's brightness slider instead.

Anyone can share your idea how you manage or your tip you applied to W100?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Xperia-Ray:
which port you installed? AMOI Port?

about the battery- don't pay attention to the battery percentage after first day of use- it's wrong because we deleted the battery state.

after 2~3 cycles of discharge you will get the correct reading.

about the keyboard- you can delete AOSP keyboard and then you always get swype.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] KuliG:
Yep, newest AMOI.

On miui there's impossible to select just one card for phone and sms and other sim to use 3g? (i got selected one for internet but i can't select second for just calling, there's option to call or something from second sim)

(maybe Xiaomi Hongmi got better miui for this - it's dual sim?)
