Tried to install Xposed Framework!!!!!

Hi guys, I just had this phone for 3 days, tried to install Xposed Framework then phone would not boot! (read this loooong post too late)

Entered recovery, backup up to SD, wiped cache, then factory reset, now phone boots when battery inserted without pressing power button, but no startup sound and after few seconds, phone goes to black screen.

Now can't get into recovery.

What can I do?

I use a Mac, plugged cable to device, tried ADB, no devices.

Can I fix this or should I cry a little and get a new phone? :crying:

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Also there's no red light when cable plugged in, so not charging the battery I guess?

Anyone know where I can get an external battery charger? Or what I need to Macgyver one? :D

.....phone still dead.....

Volume down + usb plug

This could help you with flashing new stock rom

susch19: thanks, already tried that, but still goes to black screen after logo.

I can't seem to get into recovery at all.
[Android General] susch19:
After framework instalkazion, recovery is no more possible, thats why you need to flash via sp flash tool

Ok I'll give that a try,

Thanks
[Android General] susch19:
I had the same problem at the first day, when i had my phone, that wasn't that good,too ,but my phone works very well, after some trying and errors ;D

Hello everyone,

Today I found that THIS phone has almost the same specifications as out THL w200s but it has kitkat. So I was wondering, would it be possible to port it to our W200S?
[Android General] lozisung:
So, managed to Flash it with the SP Tool (thanks miljenko) but it still does the same, just boots to THL logo then black screen after a few seconds.

Any other ideas please? :(

EDIT:

Added Miljenko's TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it worked!

A thousand thank yous!!!!
[Android General] esofron:

[Android General] miljenko:
Thank you for your answer. I will like to add amendment, there is no need to hold any button, just start download process and plug phone (while is off).
[Android General] esofron:
Hello and thanks for your support.

when i connect the w200s to the usb it appears the preloaded device, but then after few secs disappears and appears ad HTC Dream and i get an error for COM1.

I wish I could have the phone in my hands...

I haven't heard of this problem until now, so I don't know, what to do...

ok i made it to flash the ThL.W200S.156D.A1.JB9.HD.EN.8P256.OV8825.MT6592GW.2014022 successfully with the mediated flash tool. i disconnected the pc from internet and loaded the driver android device.

But still have the same problem black screen after tho logo. any idea?

thanks.
[Android General] susch19:
Recovery possible now?

Maybe something went wrong by flashing process?

Gesendet von meinem W200s mit Tapatalk
[Android General] esofron:
how can i do the recovery now?

i did the flash 2 times and i got green OK.

after that i disconnect the cable, remove the battery, insert battery and i get the same thing.

Do i have install specific rom and the one i written before?

thanks.
[Android General] susch19:
Just stock Rom. Is that this one from miljenko in first post?

Gesendet von meinem W200s mit Tapatalk
[Android General] esofron:
Ok fixed it.

the problem for me is that i was flashing the original rom from the 1st post, and had a problem.

so, i downloaded the one STOCK FIRMWARE, ROOT, TWRP - for SP FLASH TOOL, and after flash the phone booted ok. that was my mistake.

guys thanks a lot for your help. :)

I'm happy when people manage to fix problems by them self without returning phone to China.

Returning to China is the last thing I would do. Even problems with ports getting fixed by myself.

I'm 110% with you. Not in a million years i would pay the shipping back, and then wait 1/2 months for them to send a new device [if they send it at all]...

That's one thing i decided from the moment i alsoi decided to buy a smartphone from a Chinese website... No returns...

So every problem that comes up, i must solve it... and i bought 2 smartphones, so i am my own warranty for these 2 devices...

So far, only happend a few issues related with the flashing of this ROMs available here...

BTW: NEVER, and really mean NEVER use in FlashTool the option "Format All+Download" and in Carliv CWM Based recovery "Wipe All Data - Preflash". These options format protected partitions on this device, causing most of the times the IMEI to be blank/invalid...
[Android General] keithdaman666:
whats the best way to backup IMEI then? ive already had to do the fix in the first post once already...
[Android General] susch19:
I already used preflash and my IMEI seems to be okay.

I returned my first China tablet and after 4 weeks I got it back and the shipping fees were payed back via voucher. That's the service from Hongkongeek, but only the first month.

I have been using miljenko's vanilla rom for several days and I want to share my opinion, the rom works fine, it has extended developer options avalaible and functional, everything works alright and battery consumption is pretty good, but ... there is a major problem with it, battery charge stops at 4.2 volts when it reaches 90% and goes inmediately to 100%, the discharge rate of this first 10% is very high, never lasts more than 30 or 40 minutes, moreover when the battery reaches 20 to 15% charge level it goes down to 0 in seconds, so, even if the rom is very good at everything, this behaviour make you waste about 20 to 30% of the battery charge

with stock rom the charge goes up beyond 4.3 volts I think it goes up to 4.35 top, although I am not sure of this number, but this extra charge gives you quite a lot extra use, and when it goes down to 15% it follows the same discharging rate you have all the time

I post this for you to know, and for miljenko so he can have some clue about solving this issue

the other problem I found with this rom is that although you can install xposed framework, it fails to activate no matter the modules you install and the method of installing, stock rom does not let even installing xposed

if you guys have tried minimal rom, could you please tell if the battery behaviour is like in stock rom or like in vanilla? it would be appreciated
[Android General] sokolataki:
hi mate i also use vanilla rom i have the same problem with battery when it has 15% after one minute it has 0% and phone power off. i think mijenko can help us. i havent any problem with xposed all is good the only problem is battery.

minimal rom is good but has a bug proximy sensor dont work as a result when i am calling the screen is on. also led dont work.

i think that the best rom is vanilla but must repared the problem with battery as you explain.

mijenko please try to solve it.
[Android General] miljenko:
As I wrote few posts back, I'm traveling and unable to fix anything. I will try to investigate issue and let you know if solution is found.
[Android General] esofron:
I have also a battery draining without doing nothing. I believe it is about 1% half an hour doing nothing.
[Android General] sokolataki:
how mutch hour you have before charge
[Android General] miljenko:
Lets say it is normal if you have Data or WiFi enabled. Many apps are doing sync in the background.
[Android General] esofron:
3 hours at least.

only wifi is enabled.
[Android General] elsita:
are you sure xposed is working? I reinstalled it several times but no module could connect to framework, I use xposed in other devices so I know hot to use it, a restart after every module is needed

thank you, I know you are out, my feedback is trying to help make your rom better :)

2% discharge with no use is a little high, but not too much, disable google now if you have it installed and see if that helps, another thing you can try is going to cwm recovery and format dalvik cache, sometimes some settings prevent the phone from going to deep sleep and this format solves it, at least it has done the work to me several times, you won't lose any data, only expect a longer booting time first time

BackUP and Restore

So, i was trying to use the Gulyuk backup and restore scripts, that worked fine on my old Alcatel OT991D, when i came up to some thing.... strange at least for me...

Been looking at the code and found out that must be change from MTD to EMMC... ok

When i was reading the partitions from a terminal emulator and using:

cat proc/emmc

i got this result:

partno: start_sect nr_sects partition_name
emmc_p1: 00000400 00000002 "ebr1"
emmc_p2: 00004800 00005000 "protect_f"
emmc_p3: 00009800 00005000 "protect_s"

emmc_p7: 001f8000 00c00000 "usrdata"
emmc_p8: 00df8000 02c3b800 "fat"

so... which one is the boot? recovery? system?

Can someone help out here? I wasn't expecting this...

Download the file and see the code...
[Android General] lozisung:
Concerning the battery (from a few replies before) I had the same issue after flashing ROM, but I flashed it back to stock.

I just ran a battery calibration app and then did a battery full discharge/charge cycle, charged up to 4.35V 100%.

This has happened on most of the Droid phones I've flashed.

Phone came with no recovery (in English)

Hi. Pressing Vol+ + Pwr doesn't work. It takes me to a screen with a broken Android and the text 'No command'. I tried using apps like Quickboot but I'm sent to the same screen. The command Vol- + Pwr does work, in Chinese. Is there a way I can do a backup and install recovery?

Please, help.
[Android General] Vonnegut:
Wise guy.

If you want to make a backup before installing the CWM recovery ( http://www.needrom.com/mobile/thl-w200s-mtk6592-octa-carliv-touch-recovery/ ) you have to be rooted.

In case your smartphone is already rooted, just download and install the MTK Droid Tools for Windows ( http://dfiles.ru/files/ne1gnposp ) and the ADB Drivers ( http://ge.tt/2yL21VT ).

Done? So run the tools (better if in administrator mode) plug in the phone and wait for 'em to recognize your W200S.

You should see a green square on the bottom right, otherwise you'll see a yellow square...that mean that you'll have to open the shell (click the button).

Now you are ready to press the root, backup, recovery tab and click on backup.

Done.

P.S. If you are rooted and you want to reboot in recovery but you are too lazy (as am i) to use the hardware buttons...just install the terminal emulator from the store.

Then type:

su (press RETURN)

reboot recovery (press RETURN)

[Android General] Vonnegut:
Miljenko already answered you.

android = system

As for the boot sectors:

bootimg = boot = kernel

uboot must be the bootloader (don't mess up with it)

Question...

Since i still have a THL W200, I didn't know they finally put a bootloader.

I guess it's unlocked but is it bootable?
[Android General] satiros:
hi sorry what do you mean?

i have rooted my phone with framaroot-barahir

i connect my phone to mtkdroidtools and get a yellow square

what are my next steps?what do you mean open the shell(click the button)???????/

thannk you very much

ok i googled and found out what to do

you hit root on the pc mtkdroid tools

and grant (aprove) permissions

after a while

its green and now you can backup
[Android General] RSGI:
Thank you. Do you think is possible to adapt that backup mod? Well i will test it.

Also Vonnegut thanks for your reply. :)

So lets say that i can use this:

bootimg 0x0000000000a00000 0x0000000001da0000 2 /dev/block/mmcblk0 USER --------- boot
recovery 0x0000000000a00000 0x00000000027a0000 2 /dev/block/mmcblk0 USER --------- recovery

fat 0x0000000587700000 0x00000001bf000000 2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 USER ----------- emmc

3 questions:

1 - I notest that boot and recovery seems to be on the same partition [?!?!] mmcblk0...

I saw with Root Explorer there's a mmcblk0 file, a mmcblk0boot0 and a mmcblk0boot1 files at /dev/block/

So, will this work:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/ROM_Backup/boot.img bs=4096;
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/ROM_Backup/recovery.img bs=4096;

Doesn't seem right, does it?

2 - Should i include the cache partition? I would like to make a back of my Modded ROM and share it so that other W200s users can install it without any issue. Does the cache partition include system information or user information?

3 - The EMMC partition is the internal storage backup?

Thanks for all inputs and replys
[Android General] Vonnegut:
Whenever a device name gets assigned to 2 or more partition, we have to tell ADB from where to start reading and when to stop using count and skip.

Nope.

Here's an example for the recovery partition.

size (hex) =

size (decimal) = 10485760

start point (hex) = 0x00000000027a0000

start point (decimal) = 41549824

count = 10485760/4096 = 2560

skip = 41549824/4096 = 10144

So the right command line should be:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/ROM_Backup/recovery.img bs=4096 count=2560 skip=10144

(recheck please)

I wonder why you want to use ADB when it's much easier and straightforward to use the MTK Droid Tools

I have been using the phone for few days now

the light sensor doesnt work at all

so i have to auto brightness and alo it didnt cut off the screen when i place on my ear

so i tried the calibration from the menu

also the calibration from mtk engineer mode

nothing seems to work

im using screen cover light for some functionality

any thoughts

i would like to know if there is a rom based on stock rom rooted and clean

or some rom that works 100% and even corrects the light sensor
[Android General] miljenko:
Since this is not your first complaint, return to stock and check if your sensors are working. Don't make data or any kind of restore. Also avoid root until you check sensors. Stock rom is worldwide and is clean.

In short, rooted with framaroot and downloaded a new ROM, all good. Then booted into recovery, ignoring weird background with Red Cross above Android and ominous chinese characters below. Couldn't find any install from zip options so went for reset all data instead. The phone now gets only so far as the initial boot screen, then it just goes grey and I can't get into recovery. Any ideas? Thanks.

You have skipped to update recovery with some custom made one.

Hey miljenko, thanks for your reply. Yeh, I've started trying to flash a new recovery image, but obviously I can't use mobileuncle etc or even load fastboot mode from recovery as it no longer works. Any other way I could do it?
[Android General] RSGI:
That would be awesome... but it seems this rom itself has some bugs...

I don't thing its a good idea to port a ROM already buggy...

But if there's someone who can port a buggy ROM and make it 100%, its certainly miljenko.

I'll be waiting for developments on this matter :)
