Star S9500 Bootloop - flash firmware

Hey guys,

i've a really big problem with my Star S9500. First of all i've rooted the device with framaroot.

Everthing worked fine and apps like TitaniumBackup worked also fine.

Yesterdays i tried to change the screen'S density accordingly to the HowTo an the first page of this thread.

Therefor i copied the build.prop from the folder "/system" to my computer and added here the line

"ro.sf.lcd_density=240". After this i pasted the build.prop back to folder "/system". After a reboot i had a

bootloop.The device starts till the Android-logo appears.Nothing more, the device doesn't start.

With Vol+ and Power it is possible to activate the "Android system recovery (3e)". Now i can connect the

computer with my mobile device. Therefor i use "Adb.exe" from the SDK in the windows command prompt.

First i wrote the following commands into the prompt:

1. adb start-server ---> (server starts!!!)

2. adb root	----> (the adbd was restarted with root permissions!!!)

3. adb devices	----> (List of devices attached: 123456789ABCDEF recovery)

Then i tried to "pull" (adb pull /system/build.prop) the build.prop from my mobile device to my computer. This wasn't

possible and Adb.exe wrote into the prompt that the "remote object '/system/build.prop' does not exist.

Okay, no build.prop in the folder /system. Now i wanted to copy (push) a saved build.prop from my

computer on the mobile device. Therefor i wrote "adb push build.prop /system". Now Adb.exe wrote "626kb/s (7059 bytes

in 0,011sec)". Now i could copy (adb pull /system/build.prop) the build.prop from the mobile device to my PC.

But after a reboot the build.prop is away. No file in the /system folder.

The opportunity to remount (make read-/writeable) the folder /system with "adb remount" isn't possible

(adb shows the error message "remount failed: Success"). The other opportunity to do this by using shell is

also not possible because when i write "adb shell" the error message "-exec '/system/bin/sh' failed:

No such file or directory (2) nRet(-1)" occurred.

The third way to copy the build.prop into the folder "/system" by using an update.zip and flashing it from sdcard also fails.

The recovery shows the error message "installation aborted".

With adb reboot-bootload it is possible to get into "fastboot".

Now i want to flash the Official STAR S9500 Version: 2106_v89_jbla768_fwvga_20131024 from

needrom on my mobile device, but this also doesn't work.

With the flashing tool from i get no connection to my mobile device (the drivers are installed and i push Vol+ when i'm connecting

the device with my PC). Sometimes i get the follinwing error message.

Is anybody able to help me??? Meanwhile i'm really cunfused and desperate. With Odin and my old Samsung it

was quite easier to flash cynanogenmod and other custom roms :(

[Android General] chrischi999:
I and what "right after the usb-cable"??? I think there is missing something...

I've tried it out and get the error message "BROM ERROR: S_Com_Port_Open_fail (1013)

SOLVED: I had to run the flashtool.exe as admin and in compatibility for Windows XP SP3. After this the flashing was no problem!

great post!!!!! Managed to back up my stock rom and then installed the one in this post...

Did it succesfully than rooted with eroot (I had no success via mtkdroid nor with motochopper) and the rom is pretty awesome (mine was buggy) and fast (13676 with Antutu, way better than before) but now I discovered a pretty big problem : like someone already pointed out before my front camera isn't working!!!!!! only the face camera works

Anyone know how to help me?

thanks!
[Android General] alareth1976:

Hi guys

I've had my Star S9500 mtk6589 for a couple of weeks now and am enjoying it.

I'm having a little problem when watching videos on the YouTube app. The picture quality almost looks jagged regardless of what quality setting I play the videos on. When I watch the same YouTube video using the web browser the picture quality looks fine. Is there any fix for this or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks guys

[Android General] sas007:
there are a few ways.

1)Eroot seems to be the choice search for it with google.
[Android General] Erecura:
cant seem to get it

It wont seem to work for me, even in offline mode.

Im doing it step by step, yet its not working for me.

What am i doing wrong because mi installing the preloader driver and then the ADB driver.

All i get is this after installing.
[Android General] sas007:
I dont know if it makes a difference but you have a MTK6582 processor.what are you trying to do root.?

I have also a MTK6582 device and droid tools could not root it although i could do a backup.

I used tool 2 in this tutorial and it worked..its very strange in Chinese

http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2013/11/18/w450-mtk6582-quad-core-smart-phone-root-tool-and-method/#.UuDrORBFDX4

but you just press root etc.This rooted my MTK6582 device.
[Android General] sas007:
We need to be carefull now.I purchased a s9500 mtk6589 but it turns out after soft bricking the device from flashing firmware here that its a MTK6582....
[Android General] Erecura:
Vroot worked like a charm.

my S9500 equiped MTK6582 has been successfully rooted :)

The chinese stuff is pretty weird but you can use MTKDroid Tools afterwards to get rid of the chineses crap off your phone.

Thank you for the link sas007.

Now for some nice rom(s) and carefull flashing.

[MENTION=5277169]IvanSantosPT[/MENTION] O.P

Thanks very much for the great tutorials.had a bit of bother with device due to the fact it was actually a MTK6582 and not MTK6589 it had a cheat file in system/etc "agold_cheat_evaluating_software.xml" turns out mine is 1300mhz cpu not 1200mhz

but got there in the end.rooted and installed CM recovery changed DPI (changed to 220dpiI i found 195 a little too small for me) and done a backup...

so many thanks.

I Rooted the device with Eroot 2 option here.remembering this was for a MTK 6582 device but you could also use option 1 for MTK6589 i have successfully rooted a mtk6589 device with this.dead easy no hassle.But follow tutorial first and use these if you get no joy.

blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2013/11/18/w450-mtk6582-quad-core-smart-phone-root-tool-and-method/#.UuDrORBFDX4

1.download on your pc the zip file attached and unpack it

2.launch eroot_v1.3.4.exe

3.enable USB debugging on your smartphone (settings>developer options)

4.connect your mobile phone to your pc

5.click on the green "root" button

Enjoy your rooted device

P.S Anyone worked out how to get the LED to show for missed text and calls etc.??

hello, I have a S9500 with a lot of tweaks to look like Samsung S4 - even the processor is seen by CPUZ as Exynox octa core :) > MobileUncle is telling me that i have a MT6589 chipset and as far as i;ve seen on the internet is should work in WCDMA 900. Still my version is not working on this band, in this respect i'm trying to figure out if the ROM;s from here have supported the WCDMA 900 band.

Hi every one :)

I have many problems with my Star S9500 Mtk6582.

I flashed to 4.2.2 r Rom from Needrom and I had no problems a long time. One day, I don't know why, but each option with Usb cable stopped. No options with Debbuging mode or copy/paste. When I connected Usb cable from my Computer to my phone just "charger has been linked" and there isn't another connection between them except the charger option. It means - the pc can't recognize that my device is connected.

Near one week later the loudspeaker stopped too. No sound for music, movie, no sound for alarms and call.

I tried to hard reset and before did it I made back up. When I did it I find that hard reset didn't solve the problem with the usb connection and the loudspeaker

Then I tried to re-flash with Flash Tools and I looked that I have problem with drivers. They were gone! I don't know how.

Then I tried so many times to resolve the driver's problems with downloading and installing another drivers, but in driver option menu there is an information something like "this device can't work properly(code 10)" for each Installing driver.

After all these situation I decided, very stupidly to format by CWM everything in my phone and then to restore last backup, but when did it, I gave to format sd-card, because I thought that this option is for internal memory, not for external sd-card...	:crying:

So...I am in this situation. I haven't back up, the pc can't recognize my device I haven't drivers, my phone is formated and hasn't OS and what I have is just CWM :)))))

So...if it's possible, can you tell me, what can I do now to reflash?

I have an idea.

If any one has a back up in zip format let's send the file to me to try to install by CWM or it wouldn't work?

Thanks in advance.

p.s: Sorry for my English, dudes :)

Help with Start S9500 - Speaker / factory reset / drivers install

Hi;

I need your help... I have a Star S9500 (model 2206_jbla768_f) that neither the speaker, neither the microphone work (both work fine is using the headphones).

Just as information, I rooted sometime ago the device with framarootm and changed the start-up logo just by replacing the /system/media/bootanimation.zip file.

As I need the speaker+microphone, I've though on reseting the mobile, in case any driver/something has become corrupted, so, I've used the google "Factory reset" and also started the mobile with power + volume down => Clear eMMC, however, the mobile is not reseted to factory defaults, due to that the initial logo is still the same I set in bootanimation.zip and the mobile is still rooted, so, looks like the mobile is not completely cleared, and the sound is still not working via speakers...

I've also tried to follow your instructions to install the drivers - Preloader, but when I connect the mobile to the computer, the mobile charges, as expected, but I get no communication with the computer at all (on device manager, nothing appears when connecting the device, neither the "MT65xx Preloader" is not shown, so, I cannot continue following the instructions).

So, I don't know what to do... I just want to have back the speaker and microphone, so, should I go to troubleshoot the mobile factory reset to get the mobile fully reseted, should I try to troubleshoot the communication with the computer to install the drivers commented on this page,... Would you have any suggestion about what should I try?

Thanks!

Start S9500 - altavoz / microfono / factory reset / drivers

Hola Ivan / tod@s;

Necsito vuestra ayuda... thengo un Star S9500 (modelo 2206_jbla768_f) al que dejo de funcionarle el altavoz y em microfono (aunque ambos funcionan bien si uso cascos)).

Hace tiempo lo rotee con framaroot y cambie el logo de arranque remplazando /system/media/bootanimation.zip

He pensado en resetear el movil, en caso que algun driverse haya corrompido: He usado el google "Factory reset" y por medio de power + volume down => Clear eMMC, sin embargo, el movil no se resetea a valores de fabrica, ya que el logo no cambia y sigo siendo root.

Tambien he intentado seguir las instrucciones de este post para instalar drivers - Preloader, pero cuando conecto el mobil al ordenador, el mobil se cargam pero no hay comunicacion con el ordenador (en device manager no aparece nada cuando lo conecto, ni siquiera el "MT65xx Preloader" con lo que no puedo continuar con las instrucciones).

Tendriais alguna sugerencia? (solo necesito tener de nuevo sonido en el altavoz y el microfono)

Gracias!

Hi there!

I am trying to send AT commands to the built-in GSM modem of my PDA, in order to get the signal quality (AT+CSQ). I am using the Himalaya Qtek2020.

It is important to implement it with C# using the .NET compact framework. By now, i am using the following code to connect to the modem, but the received data is useless (i.e. p?x??04? ...):

private void ConnectGPRS()
{
try
{
serialport.CommPort = cboGPRS.SelectedIndex+1;
serialport.BitRate = 9600;
serialport.DataBits = 8;
serialport.RTSEnable = false;
serialport.DTREnable = true;
serialport.StopBits = 1;
serialport.EnableOnComm = true;
serialport.PortOpen = true;
//serialport.Timeout = 5;
//An Port schicken:
ASCIIEncoding enc = new ASCIIEncoding();
byte[] Buffer = enc.GetBytes(txtAT.Text+"\r\n"); //Text in byte-Array
serialport.Output(Buffer); //An Port schicken
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show (ex.Message+"\n"+ex.InnerException);
}
}
//Eventhandler
private void DataReceived()
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[128];
//use ASCII encoding to work with string and byte
ASCIIEncoding enc = new ASCIIEncoding();
// read input text
buffer = serialport.InputArray(); //Byte-Array vom Port auslesen
MessageBox.Show(enc.GetString(buffer,0,buffer.Length-1));

}

Can i communicate with the modem using the serial COM ports, or do i have to use the RIL ports?

I have found a lot of C++ sample code, but i am looking for a C# solution.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks,

C.J.

I love the way GameKlip works with Nexus 7. Unfortunately, I couldnt find a similar solution for Moga Controller. They ship their product with a tablet stand, which is not that great. I saw a video somewhere that showcased a Moga ProA controller with Nexus 7 Mounted on it. With high hopes, I contacted MogaAnywhere and they informed me that there are no plans to support Nexus 7 as a mounted device. I requested them to not drop the idea since I had already seen their video cast showcasing the controller's ability to hold a Nexus 7 properly.

Anyways, while we don't have a solution by the seller itself, I was wondering if there are any third-party solutions out there (similar to GameKlip with PS3 controller) that can be used to achieve this.

All thoughts suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] pfroo40:
I've been looking too and haven't found anything yet. I was a little annoyed when I saw the promo videos with the old Nexus 7 being used with the Moga just fine, but tablets that size aren't actually supported by the production unit. Seems like a bad decision on their part to exclude 7" devices.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] psychedelicNerd:
I was exchanging emails with their customer service rep last week, and I strongly put in a case to not drop the idea. Requested them to forward my email to their design department for review and a possible suggestion which the rep confirmed would be delivered. I would say we should start sending them more emails. Maybe it will help them change their minds.

Uncomfortable after 30 mins of use (Nexus 7 2)

Hi guys, I made my own makeshift mount to use the Nexus 7 2 with the Moga Pro with some Velcro and a old book that I used as a case. Working nicely and pretty sturdy.

I tried it out on my commute home (30 mins on the train) and I found the weight distribution with the Nexus mounted was not good. Therefore it felt pretty uncomfortable towards the end of my journey. I guess maybe that's why Moga is not keen to support anything bigger than a Note 3 mounted on the Pro.

Just wanted to share my experience to anyone who is considering using the Nexus 7 mounted on the Moga Pro. The Moga Pro is still great and I would recommend anyone who wants to game on Android to get it.

Regarding http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2229798&page=8 is OP back?

I was wondering how is possible to make an working kernel from that sources as there is totally wrong setup for L3-E400 board.

Can someone provide dmesg log here? I can bet that 2x2 cannot work here, same as why is problem with registering other devices.

So, let Me explain this (from config)

#1 CONFIG_SENSORS_BMA2X2

is wrong option as E400 have BMA250 triaxial low-g acceleration sensor.

#2 **** with APDS9190 will not work... as E400 have BMC050 6-axis digital e-compass (it is enabled from config, but will not work as addresses is wrong).

#3 CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_RT9396

will not work as E400 have backlight control over BU61800.

#4 vee3 board is not compatible with E0 (E400) board but with M4 (L5) so, 'almost same' configuration will not work on E400 (E0) board without tuning or porting code.

Once again, please, someone who have that Kernel working, please provide dmesg.

Thx

#2 APDS9190:

#3 RT9396:

Register, but cannot write registers...fail (as actual device is BU61800 and msm's pmic)

.. sooo, please, someone who have that Kernel 'REAL' working with registering all devices (without sensors as OP say's) please provide dmesg from that WORKING Kernel.

All drivers are there in the LG E600 kernel, you just have to make a proper config file, compile and boot. You may have to debug using ADB a few times but if you have enough spare time, in few hours, one day at most, you should be able to boot it.
