[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puthsardarade:
Hi,

Did you have the same issues as I had with my handset, with the lack of app storage / internal storage space and su binary?

After your root did you resolve the storage issue if it was an issue for you?

Please find the screenshot attached.

UBIFS FileSystem ! is mentioned - not sure if that is relevant.

Hope you can help with a solution.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puthsardarade:
Hi,

Can you please which guide steps I should be following?

At the link there are two versions of the exe file and also a show content which opens up the archive file.

Under show content it states - Owners 6572 with ubifs and other platforms can be downloaded only for curiosity

So I guess there is no point in me following that.

However there is a mini guide which I have copied below:

For test UBIFS devices.. Makes three types files of ubifs blocks:

system.ubifs.tar . Archive not for FlashTool!

system.ubifs.img . Not for FT, but there is an opportunity to make the file for FT under Linux

nodl_system.bin . For testing! On responses of some owners is suitable for FT. Demands check.

No guarantees, on your own risk!

The request to owners of UBIFS devices to send log.txt and scatter files, as in the description for v2.5.2b

Do you mean did I follow this?

Can you please advise how I should do the above in more basic instructions as I've not done this before?

Thanks

yes , all choices leads me to bootloop

what i have done wrong was this :

i used flashtool to root and the root button didnt work then i used flash tools to do the recovery and went to step : flash it via mobileuncle

i installed mobile uncle mtk tools on the phone and was about to flash the recovery and i thought that the device was running slowoly

so i restarted it and it went in boot loop

i dont have a system

all i have is fastboot and recovery

and when i connect it to pc when turned off it drops off the connection constantly

tried 4 cables and 3 pcs and the result was same

i have only fast boot and recovery, no back up and cant flash anything via flashtool as i cant have a stable usb connection when turned off

last thing : usb connection is stable on fastboot but it gives me HTC dream driver ~~"

waiting for a solution cuz i dont want to ruin it more than this ~~

ty in advance ^^

Hi,

I attempted this again.

1) Unlock Pro - no matter where I downloaded it from I was unable to install on my Windows 7 X64 PC. You do not have permissions to access specified device, path, file - error appears. Also Comodo appears with a malicious item has been detected - Malware warning - cleaning this does not work. Downloaded Unlock Pro from a number of places and still get the same errors.

2) Impactor I had tried previously and tried it again - same error about no space appeared.

3) VRoot - tried this twice and even though the instructions were not in English, going by the screens and info here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2434453

The end result was the same and it did not appear to root!

Prior to trying VRoot I went via Recovering - wiped data, cache etc.

Anymore suggestions or should I give up? :(

How to restore a backup

How to restore a backup from mkdroidtools or from cut /dev/ > /sdcard/ method

First of all for those who have a backup from mtkdroidtools of your phone (including the preloader) you can restore the backup and unbrick the phone. Creating a scatter.txt file may not work correctly, it is always better to find an official rom of another model phone with same sepcs (eg. same CPU, and same NAND memory) and then use this scatter file.

You need a hex editor, download HxD hex editor because you have to remove junk hex from backed up file, you will start editing first the preloader file,

Fixing the files will consist of two files, 1 your backed up file opened in the hex editor, 2 of another working file from an official simmilar rom, to see how it must look like, and remove from your backed file the junk hex.. (you use a working full rom just as a template to help you understand how images/files should look like and nothing else) you don't flash anything from the working-official rom you just use its scatter file and nothing else.

You have to edit:

1. Preloader.bin

2. Uboot.img or dsbl.img

3. Boot.img

Those until the phone turn on to boot or recovery then flashing the system would be very easy.

From preloader.bin you have to remove junk hex from the top of the file, and also junk hex from the bottom of the file, you compare a real preloader.bin with the backed up preloader.bin and you will understand.

From boot.img you only have to remove the bottom part of the file, the junk is FF's and some 00's remove those and your boot.img will be ok to be flashed.

From uboot.img you remove only the bottom FF's and maybe some 00's in the bottom, remove it and will be ok to be flashed.

See screenshot to help you understand how to deal with a backup.

if after giving a real try still no success, announce here that you sell parts or whole, to back up at least some money, never trash a working screen /touchpanel etc, for bricking.

I just uploaded full firmware for MT6572 (mt6589 fake)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6NBoDM0drAJWjhfY3FTWjZJV1k/edit?usp=sharing

RULES YOU MUST FOLLOW durring flashing:

1. DON'T FLASH preloader file, unless the power button doesn't do anything, (if power button gives light at screen or a logo DONT flash preloader, only the rest of the files.

2. DON'T FULL FORMAT nand, unless your preloader is broken and power button does nothing.

Preloaders may not be good for all phones, there is a chance every few phones need also a different preloader.. so.. you full format / flash preloader only if you are completely sure the original preloader of your rom is overwriten / broken or something.

The problem... a stupid Samsung Galaxy S4 clone (MTK).

I have about 20 apps, and some of them are large (Candy Crush, Hill Climb Racing, GTA III, etc...), and I don't have memory left on my phone. :(

When I go on settings it shows me total 7.9GB memory. But when I go in file manager it shows me only 1.9GB total memory (and that's the real number). I've managed to run out of memory twice (0MB left from 1.9GB). Can this thing pe possible? 2014 phone with 2GB internal memory (even if it's fake)?

The second and biggest problem. I have a TDK 8GB SD Class 10 Card, and I want to use it to install big games on it, but whatever I do, it won't Install anything on it (I've only managed to move my music on it). I have partitioned the card 3.75GB FAT32 and the rest of it EXT3, and I've installed Link2SD, but I don't know why it doesn't move my apps to the external SD card (my memory is still the same, whatever I try...)
