[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Cool :good:

If you look on your internal sd you will see a folder called clockworkmod in there is the stock backup. that recovery script use's it to flash back the boot and recovery also the system should you do a full reset ;) nice to have a ready made backup :laugh:

Just remember to remove those scripts from that too. :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sas007:
just doing a back up using droid tools.Next try to get custom recovery installed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sas007:
Im just trying to work out why they say mtk6589 rather than 6582.Both are dual core boyh are 1.2ghz..dont get it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Always best :good:

Just get the drivers if needed and the SPflashTool version from the tut then you can flash the twrp recovery and the patched boot.img :good:

BTW Which seller did you get the faked cpu phone from was it ebay UK or did you get it from china just wondering if it's the same seller because they promised me that mine must have been a mix up :laugh: Got £8 part refund ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Both are quad core and the mt6582 is better than most mt6589 having a mali gpu but the mt6582 is not true 3g but is instead R8 HSPA+ (H+) on your signal meter seems plenty fast enough to me. :) It's so the chinese do not have to pay 3g patents :cowboy:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] sas007:
Yes your right Looking at system info my cpu is 1300mhz as appossed to 1200mhz.resolution is good as well.

Here is some screenies

Got to work out how to install recovery now..having problems with spflashtool it is not picking up device from preloader so nothing happening when you press download and connect device yet preloader is installed appears in device manager.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
1. Have your phone connected to the PC without the battery.

2. Hit download.

3. Then insert the Battery.

4. Your download should begin. :fingers-crossed:

One other thing about mtk6582 is that it will only support a 8mp camera max so If it said 12mp its faking it :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sas007:
I have done that but nothing happens..I dont know why.when i connect device to computer i can hear the preloader kick in and then kick out after about 2-3 seconds.

i just had a look where i purchased probable same place as you it has UK and bargain in its name..camara stats are 8mp and yes mine is 8mp.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Did you get the tools from the tut I gave to you? ie flashtool version etc.

Like I said have the phone plugged in to the pc already but without the battery. (You will hear the preloader kick in and out again which is normal)

Then and only then hit download.

Then insert the battery. and the download will start.

Also try different usb ports if the above does not work. :fingers-crossed:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sas007:
Will keep on trying...

I have just brought this one as well..should have it tomorrow so will see which one i like best.

Star S9500 Android 4.2 MTK6589 Quad-core 5.0-inch
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
:laugh: The one I got from them was actually the real mtk6589 the other faked one was from betty and mall I think they all use the same bonded warehouse and stock Cardiff so I guess it's probably the look of the draw.

Is that lower res screen :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sas007:
yes i think so.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sas007:
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 the 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 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.

Make your own wallpaper the easy way! Noobs friendly

I thought I would do a quick tut for anyone wishing to make their own wallpaper it works on all models and versions. :)

I tried for ages to get downloaded images to fit correctly and basically most were just trash. :(

So the first thing to understand is the resolution thats required for your phone :eek:

1: Find your phones screen resolution details for example my phone's screen is 720px wide x 1280px high with a 320 DPi the actual size of the screen has no effect 5", 4.5", 3" etc You are only interested in the resolution

2: So now you know your screen resolution you need to know the perfect size for a wallpaper. My phone as said earlier is 720x1280 320dpi so a perfect size would be double the width 1440 x the same height 1280 with a dpi of 320. :good:

If your phone is 540x960 270 dpi you would want a 1080 x 960 270 dpi. :good:

So just double the width of your phone or tablets width and keep the same height and dpi :highfive:

3: Making your own individual wallpaper is pretty easy even if you're artistically challenged like me :laugh:

Get any free graphics program I use paint.net Here which is FREE, powerfull and well supported with a forum and tuts galore just use google and youtube for info on how to use it.

4: I have made a quick video (fist one) for the basics :eek: no sound but just watch for an idea on what to do. When your done just save it as a .jpg or .png then copy it to your SD card then using your gallery app set it as your wallpaper.

You will now be able to expand The crop box to the full size of your image now ;)

mt6582 faked too mt6589

Hi [MENTION=4546635]vrg3030[/MENTION]

Yes there are lots of faked cpu's out there but this is not a major problem as the mt6582 is a pretty good cpu anyway ;)

The stock rom on my device is very good indeed and would be very hard to improve on although it would be nice to have some more choice's :)

I have actually ported the rom to my Cubot One I think it's that good :good:

My wife uses the mt6582 version phone and I am not allowed anywhere near it because she loves it just like it is :crying: So the chances of me porting something for it are pretty slim :crying:

It should be pretty easy to port though now you know the real cpu. :D

IF you have done any porting before you can check out master [MENTION=4478781]yuweng[/MENTION] thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2123239 for many tools tips and advice. :good:

If you are not happy porting just sit tight until someone makes a different rom as I am sure it will not be too long :cool:

I will move this reply to the main thread as it may be useful to others with the same problem and you can continue it there if you wish.

Many Thanks :highfive:

Help Requests

Ok Bro,

Please post any requests for help or anything else here in the main thread and not by PM Thanks. :good:

More info would also be nice. :rolleyes:

I take it you never made a backup with MTK Droidtools so PLEASE read the entire thread because I have already covered that topic :confused:

Do not flash things that are made specifically for MTK6589 if you have a MTK6582 they are totally different SoC's :crying:

Back to your Problem.

I have no idea if your device is the exact same phone as mine so if you flash it with SP Flashtool and it's not the exact same phone you could actually make things worse :eek:

I recommend / Advise you only flash one thing at a time and try to use your own backup to recover the phone If SPFlashtool will let you then flash just the MBR then try to boot up again If boot looping again flash EBR1 and EBR2 and try again If still no boot then flash the rest.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKS AND THE ONLY BACKUP I HAVE IS THE ONE I MADE USING SPFLASHTOOL. IF YOU GET A BRICK AFTER FLASHING I CAN NOT HELP YOU BECAUSE YOUR PHONE MAY BE A DIFFERENT PHONE :eek:

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

[Miscellaneous Android Development] vrg3030:
thanks for answering and sorry about private messages, could not even write here, I found on my own rom for my smartphone and luckily I could repair and restore a backup, it's for mtk6582 if anyone wants the'm uploading to my dropbox
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Great News :good:

I am glad you managed to restore using your own backup :highfive:

Not aimed at you vrg3030 but all users here.

It's REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT for you all to make a full backup of your OWN STOCK ROMS :eek: before you flash anything unless you can afford $150 every time you flash something :laugh:

There are many many phones thats say they are U9501 with this soc and that soc and from all kinds of manufacturer's So it can not be guaranteed that rom backups from other users phones are the same for your phone.

Read this thread in full and MAKE YOUR OWN BACKUP WITH DROID TOOLS :cool:

Data Partitions MTK6582

[MENTION=4546635]vrg3030[/MENTION]

Use this for your phone It works and it's SAFE :highfive:

I have a large 32gb class 10 sdcard so I partitioned it using partitionwizard Here with a ext4 partition then download and install Link2SD Here it saves messing with your phones partitions :eek: Use a good quality sdcard not a cheap clone card ;)

Use Link2SD setting so it moves all downloaded apps to the new ext4 partition automatically.

Your phone memory will not fill up now. :victory:

Use my TWRP recovery for mtk6582 :good: to backup the sd-ext if your CWM does not have that function :crying:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vrg3030:
thanks, the only thing is not how to install TWRP, I have cwm and not have that option but I do not mind because I have nothing on the sd card, only the backup of my rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Make sure to Copy your backup to PC for safe keeping before you do anything :good:

TWRP Recovery: You can try use mobileuncle Here or flashify Here If these fail Use SP Flashtool above to flash the recovery.img only from the above restore.zip or from the OP MTK6582.

Ok bro to help I need as much detail about your phone as possible or it maybe easier if you could post a link to the site were you purchased it from.

hello how are you? want to comment one thing I happened curious, I had to flash the original rom again for a problem I had, everything was fine but one day I realized that I could not put the front camera, did not appear the icon, I did a lot even disassemble things smartphone to see if it was a loose cable and nothing, one day searching the web I found a video where you used a program to change the driver of the cameras and it worked, I think it can be useful if you want to be add the program to your post, I can give you link to the video tutorial and the link to download the program,

regards
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Sure bro post it with the instructions on what you did to fix it :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vrg3030:
commented that this problem happened to me and how to fix it, one day flash the original rom needed by a failure he had and everything was fine but I noticed that the front camera is not working and searching I found this, download SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject program, initiated and leave everything like this to start, just choose the scatter file from the stock rom then give the button where it says select sensor and lcd and a window where you will see the 2 chambers is opened, I elected the sub camera which is what I failed and I put this driver-gc2035_yuv and it works,what the program does is change the scatter rom file that for some reason does not come with the right driver, then re-flash the rom and it works ,leave a link to the program and a youtube video,

is the first time I do this and if something is wrong you correct me

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
Hi! my front camera isn't working since I got that phone and you seem to have the solution for it here!

Unfortunately, I can't get the SP Multi Port flash tool to work. It crashes when I load the Scatter file. Maybe I'm using the wrong scatter file? What ROM did you worked with? Any advise on how to do this?

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Use mtk droidtools to correctly identify your phone first is it mt6589 mt6582 or even mt6572? Only trust droidtools all others things report fake cpu's.

It sounds like you are the wrong scatter file to me. ;) but until we know which is your real cpu it will be impossible to help.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
Hi!

I do have the MTK6589 that is also what MTK Droid Root & Tool V2.5.2 is reporting.

I created a backup using that tool and the scatter file that I am trying to use is from that ROM that I got from backuping my phone (a U9501).

I'm currently using the 06V20_v89)qq3009hd_20131024

Uboot build v: (empty in MTK Droid tools, but it does backup one)

The SP_MDT... tool starts fine other than some weird caracters on must buttons. But as soon as I select the scatter file and press OPEN, the UI stops responding.

Thanks for helping! I would like so much to get that front camera back online...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
Ho! I just found the problem... The backuped ROM (from MTK tool) needed to be prepared for flash tool 1st I didn't know that.

I found 7 drivers for the front camera, I tried them all and none worked out for me :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Cool glad you sorted it out :highfive:

Have you tried to flash the boot.img uboot.img etc from my OP Link Here Scroll to /Stock Firmware/MTK6589/Show Content/Download Here. there is also ROM info and a installed app list in that post too. I am uploading the system.img now but it's a very large file at 818Mb :eek:

I will update this post when its uploaded. Just add the system.img to the same folder as the boot and uboot when you download it if it's needed.

Seems like it will be compatible with your phone. If that does not fix it maybe it's a hardware issue. :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vrg3030:
Hello, I spent just like you, the front camera icon disappears, the program I discuss it worked well, I have mtk6582, as says bigrammy have to be sure which is yours, it's very easy, you just have to choose the scatter of the original rom and entered into the program then choose the correct sensor and give ok, the program changes the driver of scatter and then flash normally with SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1308.0.125
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
I don't know why, but the display doesn't work with your ROM. I don'T know if you remember, but we discussed that in the first pages of this thread. Only the July version works for me, so I'm running the July version but with the October BOOT + SYSTEM...

What is the new ROM that you upload Yesturday? It seems to be the same October version no?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
You will need to load my MTK6589 system.img also :good:

I have now uploaded it for you so you can now flash my Boot, Uboot, and system.img altogether in one flash. :good:

I have not uploaded the system.img before due to the size but I have now so you can try it. ;)

I think everything should boot up for you with this combination.

system.img is here I hope you have a good internet connectivity. :laugh:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
I just flashed it. Boot, Uboot and system... Doesn't boot!

It's nice that I can restore my previous backup and get back on my feet quickly! if you have any other suggestions let me know!

thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
OK! I made some progress...

I took your ROM with the latest system that your just uploaded. But before I flashed it, I changed the LCD driver and this time it has booted. So I'm going to try the Camera drivers once more.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
Well... No luck. Even with that new ROM/SYSTEM, all 7 drivers aren't able to start my front cam :crying:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
No one else has the MTK ES-4 version? If anyone has the MTK ES-4 please let me know. There is maybe something different on that one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
I just flashed your latest ROM a few days ago and since then I keep receiving Chinese messages and downloads. Can you tell me which service/app have you removed in order to get rid of that? I remove a bunch already (all the one cleanup automatically by MTKTool) and a few more, but I'm still receiving those!

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
I have had No such problems from this stock rom :confused: I thought the system.img I uploaded would not boot on your phone :eek:

Maybe you have mixed up the system.img with another one or you have something in your userdata that is causing the problems :confused:

If the problem persists just use another rom :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jy_P:
I am surprise. I had that with EVERY ROM that I have tried for the U9501 (and many other MTK phones). And I have tried about 5 ROMs.

I am freezing everything with Titanium... I should be able to find it.

But in anycase, there are many bloatware in this ROM for sure... Look at all the applications and double check the properties. You will see that many are having priviledges that don't make sense: Like the ability to call and receive call or messages and look at your contacts for an application or a service that is supposed, for instance, to check the battery stat... :silly:

Good for you if you don't have such thing. But it would be a good thing for you to clean that up anyway. Look in MTKDroidTools, there is a button "Delete china"... Give it a try! :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bigrammy:
Yes bro I know all about these things but I want to provide the rom as Full Stock incase anyone has problems reviving their U9501. :)

It's not a custom rom and should not be used as such but should be used to restore the phone only :good:

I find most of the china call and message stuff are usually started by a script in /system/etc or maybe /init.d I can't remember exactly which one's I removed but if you have a look through /etc you will see many fake cpu, fake screen, recovery resource dat, and a few more scripts like mtk.log scripts :eek: Just rename them to like orifakescreen script. reboot and see what happens if you lose a functions just name it back. ;)

PS: uuplay.apk, uuairpush.apk, talk.apk and talkback.apk remove these just incase mtkdroid tools missed them especially the uu apks

Someone more intelligent than I can definitely step in if I'm wrong, but unless you can get adb I don't know that there is much you can do.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GSLEON3:
Hmmmm... How do you come to the conclusion that you wiped the kernel? or do you mean the bootloader? You would have to be pretty precise in wiping the bootloader. That is no easy thing on an HDX & it's secured bootloader partition. Unless you have a 7" and did something silly with SafeStrap. BTW, fastboot is secure on the HDX. For fastboot to work, even for OTA updates, it actually has to pass a command from a script in the update package & reboot.

What EXACTLY did you do?

Also, just my opinion, but it is much easier to run down issues & fix problems with Linux than Windows.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devo7v:
I saw a mockup on Reddit a few months ago that showed the volume toast notification in the statusbar rather than as a popup in the middle of the screen. Does anybody know if there's an app or an Xposed module that would provide this functionality, specifically for TouchWiz 4.2? If not is this something that could be easily implemented by a developer or am I completely out of luck?
