Been doing some further reading, basically it was to uninstall pdanet from my computer and find a new version. well I find another version and during the install, it said uninstall a driver I pressed yes, and then the phone started to install drivers(I'm still on 4.4.2 ROM) so I solved the problem of installing drivers,also read that mtk droids tools doesn't detect all 4.4.2 phones/roms .something to do with soc? still reading up about this.but at least 2 problems with the ROM/phone have been sorted.

I got the THL W200C..but I can not find a thread here or anything much on internet. I have some questions...

What is the difference between those phones?

Is is possible to flash a rom from W200S?!

Or maybe just CWM...can not find one!?

Thanks, Andreas

Totally dead phone!!!!!

OMG: by phone is totally dead now.... Was performing a CWM update and during that process it kept hanging. I tried to push some buttons and now it's doing nothing anymore.....

1) The phone (MTK6592/THLW200s) is not starting up anymore, whatever I try

2) My PC cannot connet to the phone anymore (no PDAnet connection, no connection in MTK droid tools or SP Flash)

Anyone a suggestion what to do except for buying a new one :crying::crying::crying: ????

All your suggestions are very welcome!

thanks,

Jan
[Android General] sam tyler:
I had the same problem. look a few posts back for the answer.did you back up your phone via mtk droid tools? you can use droid tools to make cwm via your boot .img and install it via flash tool.(as I find out) or use the recovery .img from the other post.hope this helps.

Again look at previous posts.(I'm still learning myself!) but if you did a backup with droid tools, you can use that with flash tool or find a stock ROM from THL or need ROM.the scatter file is what you need.hope this helps.

thnx for answer. Yes I have a backup from today made with Droidtools! Problem is: My phone it totally dead. It's not doing anything at all. Not even the red led is working for being on power outlet. Cannot start the phone at all !
[Android General] sam tyler:
OK.when my my phone went dark(brick?) after some checking, this is what I did.I made a copy of my back up of my stock ROM and placed it in the folder of the flash tool(right at the bottom of the stuff inside the flash tool file).I then started flash tool, pressed the scatter file button, and it should locate the scatter file or your ROM(the scatter file is in the backup ROM) press download, then connect USB cable to the comp and connect the phone (without battery)wait for the colors to change, (last one is yellow) a green circle should appear saying ok then disconnect the USB from the phone and place the battery back into the phone and press the power button to (hopefully) restart the phone.hope this works.

Thanks Sam!

I didn't try it with the battery out. I will try this [MENTION=313982]home[/MENTION] tonight!

This should do the trick then, as nothing else works. My phone is totally dead, so in Droidtools it says that there is no phone connected.

The battery should be OK, because before this CWM recovery disaster it was working perfectly!

These problems with the battery, is it with the 1800 mAh or the 2000 mAh battery? and just the earlier version(s) or later ones? been reading that this happens when playing games for long periods of time.maybe we need a new thread to see how many owners of the w200s this is effecting.and maybe we could back track to a point when all this started, because if this is more then a bad batch of battery's, it could mean all w200s phones could be affected?

The problem with battery is because of phone overheating. It damages battery on long periods of time. Ex: when you play games a lot. Like i do. My battery died. Luckly i had another. This sucks. No octacores for me anymore!
[Android General] peter_90:
It's not necesarily the heating... take for example the HTC One M8. Snapdragon quad-processor, heats like crazy, but the battery is fine. Maybe the battery is just a low quality one...

But i have a problem with my w200s. I installed framaroot 1.9.3, used the Barahir exploit, received the "Succes" message, but it doesn't look like the phone is rooted.

Antutu says it's not rooted, battery doctor says it's not rooted, poweramp unlocker says it's not rooted... any ideas?

[Android General] elsita:
about the battery problems, well this battery is the same exact size as w200, but they have managed to put some more lithium inside to increase capacity, this can only come by the reduction of the rest of the materials, probable the iner walls between de lithium cells, so the battery is weaker in the inside and so it dies in 3-4 months use, I am afraid when we receive new batteries we will have the same problem in 3-4 months time again

about the phone, after 6 months of use I am quite dissapointed, the software is responsible for that, I get fc or some kind of error in nearly every google apps, I am usint stock rom, as the others I tried (quite a few, including miljenko's) they all have some kind of irresolvable problem, and some of them are quite important to me, so I am stacked in stock rom, I have tried deodexed too, and although I can use xposed with it, it is a little more heavy in everyday's tasks, so I went back to stock again

my phone feels slow all the time, it takes too long to open any applications, it does not matter if I have a lot of apps or just a few, I have tried formating all kinds of cache, but the rom feels sluggish, thl w200 is a lot quicker in everyday use, so I have to conclude that the problem is the software, the 4.2.2 android thl provided us with is not well made, it has some problems that w200 rom does not have, probably the core dealing with the micro procesor is badly done

I was hoping thl would make a kit kat rom solving the problems, but now I am quite confident it will never happen, and also I am sure no independent developer will do either

so, today I do not recomend to anyone buying this thl w200s phone because of its ****ty software, and also, from now on I will avoid THL as a brand because not solving the problems of this phone, or making a kit kat version of the software is really an insult to all their customers, it is a shame because they build good solid hardware at a reasonable price, but good hardware with bad software is really a very bad combination

clarification please...

So the only KK ones i could find where 4.4.2-v4.1 and vibeui v1.5 over at needrom.

So is this what you suggest.

1. Download and install one of the above (any preference ?).

2. Boot the above to make sure installed ok.

3. Download your rom and install over the above; how ? full wipe or just partial?

4. If you lose screen adb push lk.bin from w200c and boot; would an lk.bin from the ported w200s on here do or does it have to be an lk.bin from the w200c and if it does can you please upload it, thanks.

I flash it with not any wipe you need to have a working kitjat in order to have the correct lcd driver after that flash it without wipe. That is what I do

The problem is, that your ROM hasn't got any lk.bin included and when you come from jellybean the lk.bin is incompatible and it's ending with boot loop.

Hallo here and Sorry, my english is not the best.

[Android General] xzyk:
KK working but locations screwed

ok, i've got everything working (inc front camera). There are two launchers on this rom, launher3 and Google Now Launcher. Additionally, I've now got on screen nav keys; these will have to go since we have capacitive ones and they are just taking up screen space.

Biggest problem at the moment seem to be that the storage locations are screwed up.

Under setttings---storage this is what i get:

Internal Total Space reported as 5.9GB

Phone Storage 14.33GB

SD card space 22.0GB

I have a 16GB SD card so it looks like phone storage and SD card have been swapped round, anyone know an answer to this please ? thanks.

EDIT: Removed SD card and storage shown correctly, re-inserted SD card and again it shows it incorrectly as above.

EDIT2: I've checked inside system/etc and there is no vold.fstab, could this be the problem ?

If i copy this file over from a 4.2.2 rom and change permission reckon this will fix it? or does KK not need this anymore ?

EDIT3: I copied vold.fstab from 4.2.2 rom into system/etc and rebooted. That showed internal memory correctly but now external SD card was not mounted. I also found fstab in root and will look at this next.

EDIT4: looks like nothing i try works. Also appears that vold.fstab is no longer used in 4.4 and is now unified in fstab, this in turn appears to be in boot.img so whenever i change fstab it gets overwrittern when phone is re-booted. I think I'll go back to CM11 for now and wait till this matures a bit more.

[Android General] naddmian:
Hello,

I'm one of the affected by the 'black screen' issue (in my case it's more of a 'this is your phone on LSD' screen) and have been trying a few things, I've already learned how to flash back only the lk.bin/UBOOT part of the firmware to bring my phone back but I would love to try out KK, of course. I've been experimenting with different lk.bin files from other MTK6592W/MT6592W phones with similar screens that already run 4.4 but so far no luck (I tried one from a Blackview Crown firmware, for example, but I only got a black screen and boot loop). At least I was able to bring it back by flashing the original lk.bin from the ThL firmware I was previously using.

Could this ever work, are all MTK6592W/MT6592W devices the same or do I risk killing my phone irreversibly?

Thanks!
[Android General] satiros:

THEN I don't think you are killing your phone

Thl w200s Pit file mising.

Hi all,

I had the THL w200s rooted happily since april and was very satisfied with it. But yesterday even though i am a noob i tried to uninstall some system apps because i wanted to replace them with the ones from play store. The app i used to, asked me to restart the phone for the actions to take effect. In this moment the phone started but it showed only the Logo and just that. I tried many time to restart but the same result happened. the screen stays on with the logo even after 2 hours. than i made another stupid thing, because tried to hard reset wipe cache from recovery mode. Now the phone is totally bricked because it shows the logo for 2 seconds and after that the screen is grey.

A "technician" told me that its missing the pit file which as he said is crucial to reformat the phone with the stock rom.

Sorry for writing so much but i cant use my phone anymore.

Please please, if anyone can help to find THE PIT FILE FOR THE THL W200S i would be very appreciated.

Thank you very much, hope someone will help me ;);)

Why is it that my w200s seriously feels 2 to 3 times slower than my old 1.2GHz quad core mtk phone? My w200s is so laggy it's nearly as bad as my old Samsung Galaxy S(1) running ICS...

In my case I'm thinking ThL really stands for "Truly Horrible Lag" ;)
[Android General] miljenko:
THL is making relatively good hardware, but software support is terrible. This is self explanatory why some Chinese brands, like Zopo, Jiayu, Lenovo, etc, have higher prices in the beginning, software support costs money and some of them just charge you for that.

[Android General] susch19:
Maybe you downloaded a rom, which hadn't the lk.bin included.

Somebody said, that this file includes drivers for the phone and when your ROM (if you would be a rom developer) is compatible with the pre installed drivers, why should you put the lk.bin in your ROM?

So if you have no luck, then you won't find the lk.bin file in any rom...
