I answer here,ok? Important info... :)

As you say in pm, yes the sollution the "test-spot"!

You have the truth! :)

http://www.4shared.com/download/5Y4TKOCfba/service_spot__1_.jpg?lgfp=3000

There is the spot!

You need to remove the back cover and you need 3 item: a piece of wire, a screwdriver (fot the back cover) and a rubber-ring.

First remove almost all the screw, except next to sd card slot (bottom left corner of the sd card slot)...This screw fix the main board and you can remove the back cover without remove this screw.

Put the battery to right position and fix it with rubber ring to the phone.

Prepare with the flash tools and rom, for flashing...(usb cable conect to the pc, scatter file etc...)

Start the flashing with the downlad button and inmediatly sort the spot with the motherboard screw (what you didn't remove) with the wire.

Waiting for the green circle! And Enjoy! :)

Pls let me know if you successful!

The problem was i think...There is two different mainboard in Inew i2000 the v1.1 and the v2.1...The newer stock roms belongs to second.

Here is a KitKat THEMED (it's just 4.2.1) rom: http://www.4shared.com/zip/WHdOpLytba/07_resurrection_feelKat.html

(little bit lightweighted and optimized) It's for PCB v1.1

First time do not going to panic...First time boot will be slow...and after that the system need 15 min for find myself...Wait for it!

Here is the lastest CWM based touch recovery

[General Questions and Answers] kaceps:
I haven't succeded (yet) but thanks a lot for the info.

I think I got the right point on the motherboard. When I connect it, I can see a white led lightning up near the ubs port on the phone. So, I guess connecting the point makes my phone react.

But I think I might have a driver problem now.

Here is what happened.

Launch Flashtool as admin.

Load a scatterfile (any file, at this point I just want to be able to flash anything.)

Battery in, usb cable connected

press load.

the red progress bar imediately reach 100%

I try to connect he testpoints.

nothing more happens. Sometime I see various errors, not always the same.

Before finding the test point method, I tried all kind of drivers. Now I'm not sure which one is left on the system or wich is the correct one.

Anyway thanks for pointing the test points to me !

Also, thanks for the recovery and the ROM.

But none of them contains a preloader / scatter file. So, at this point, even if I get the right drivers I can't load them. I'll try them later if I manage to revive the phone, but right now my aim is ...

1 / Cleanup the drivers, and reinstall the right one

2 / Get flash tool to load anything on the phone via test point

3 / Find the right preloader and load it via test point

If I manage to do that, then I should be able to put back the back cover, and load the recovery "normally".

In the meantime, any advice is highly welcome.

Like :

- Any tips for cleaning up / installing drivers ?

- Any idea what the right preloader is ?

- Precise order on what to plug when flashig ( Battery / plusg USB / Load in flashtool / Connect points ? )

But more than eveything, thank you ! I might not have succeded yet, but at least I am not stuck anymore. Before your post I didn't know what to do. At least, now I have the test point and I can try something.

Also, sorry for the late answer. I had a lot on my plate, and didn't realise you had answered.

I suscribe to be sure not to miss any more answer.
[General Questions and Answers] Skot78:
Hello Again!

For the recovery you do not need new scatter file, use the original.

You can install the new rom from CWM recovery.

So let's see the problem.

First i need that error messages, it's important!

Try to use different usb cable/usb port/computer (operation system).

And different version of Flashtools.

I use this:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/CBA1yGcq/SP_Flash_Tool_v313040119.html

And this drivers:

http://www.4shared.com/zip/TPj497mj/6577driver_install_3_steps.html

But i need the error codes...Meanwhile you can contunie trying. We will save that phone! ;)

Best Regards
[General Questions and Answers] kaceps:
Thanks again.

I'm already using this version of Flashtool. I'll try your drivers as well.

I might have some more question later on, but for now I think I need to try again when I've slept a bit. Maybe things will seems clearer tomorow I'll keep you updated later this week end.

[General Questions and Answers] kaceps:
Quick update.

On device manager, the phone appear under "Ports com and LTP" as "MTK USB Port (com12)" Or other port number if I use other USB ports.

The error message I sometime get is BROM ERROR : S_PORT_COM_OPEN_FAIL (1013)

[COM] Failed to open port COM12

Wether I get the message or not depends on the order I do thing. ( Plus phone first, load after, or load and plug after ...)

So far, same reaction as always. The red progress bar goes to 100% very quicky, then nothing more happens.

EDIT ;

YES ! Phone résurected !

What I did :

phone not pluged, test points already connected

Windows -> write memory.

Go to tab Write memory

Open raw data -> select preloader.bin

select EMMC

Adress 0x0000000000

length 0x00600000

Write

Plug phone (with test point already connected)

The prelaoder gets written -> green circle.

unplug phone

After that back to main tab

select scater file from the same image, clic firmware upgrade

connect phone

Loading goes through ...

Green circle,

Phone switch on -> Success !

Thanks a lot, I will now try to flash the CWM recovery and the rom you recommended ... but later.

Right now my phone can boot again, and that's awesome !
[General Questions and Answers] Skot78:
Yikes!

Looks like, there is only usb driver related or op system related problem. (for this moment)

I looking for different driver and give it a try.

tonight...
[General Questions and Answers] kaceps:
Lol, you must have answered while I was editing my post.

As I said, Phone resurected ! Success !

It is now booting normally, with a stock rom.

Next steps are

1 / CWM + the rom you suggested.

2 / Fix memory to use the whole memory on one system partition. (It seems the i2000 for some reason does not use all the available memory.)

But all that is not problematic anymore. I just need the time to get to it :)

Many thanks for your precious help, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.

Congratulations! :)

http://www.4shared.com/mobile/C4f0jQeEce/meteos-mtk6589-rom-edit-8gb-16.html

It's an apk for repartitioning your memory! Use only maximum 1,5 GB system memory options!

After that you must reflash the rom of course and your internal sd will cleared too!

But not the cwm recovery! :)

I'm happy now! :)
[General Questions and Answers] kaceps:
Get the 2.7 GB of memory on one partition ... OK

Get more available memory ... nope. Not sure it is actually possible on my version.

CWM ... OK

insall the kitkat themed rom you gave ... I don't know.

How long exactly ? Because I think the 4 color moving logo has been displayed for 15 minutes now.I know first boot can be long ... but at what point do I decide the phone is not just slow booting but actually stuck ?

Edit : Well, I'll stop at 30min I think.

But even if this one doesn't work for me, I would be interrested to know where you found custom roms for inew I2000 phone. I haven't been able to find a single one with google.

[General Questions and Answers] Japetas:
Is it possible from battery date 2013.02.25 and green sticker below battery with 2013 05 checked to tell which exactly preloader I need for this bricked phone (quad core)? I tried various sp flash tools versions and various roms dated 2013 03 16, 2013 05 10, 2013 07 06, tried to download only preloader or full rom with variuos errors, usually 4001 and 4032, now only shortening the point method left, but how do I know which exactly preloader I neeed?
[General Questions and Answers] Skot78:
You shold check the motherboard version number...Already i know two versions of this phone...The v1.1 and the v2.1...

For the flashtools the firmware names contain "_21" or "_v21"...In previous posts i linked a v21 rom. If you need the older one...i don't have v1.1 rom for flashtools now (because my phone is dead) but you can use the "spot method" and cmw rom + zip firmware form.

bricked iNew i2000

Hey Guys!

I have an iNew i2000 motherboard v2.1 - I bricked the phone after trying to downgrade the rom from 4.2.2 to 4.2.1.

only after the phone was bricked, I learned about the 2 motherboard versions.

I've tried various methods and various drivers to get it working again, but no success.

the last thing I've tried is the method used by kaceps to resurrect the phone. but I still get the same error - "BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)" - I've attached a screenshot.

the red flashing bar reaches 100% and stays that way for about 30 secs, and then I get the same error message.

I've also attached a picture of the shorting wire I used to short the service spot.

Please Advise.

Thanks,

Tom.
[General Questions and Answers] Skot78:
Hello There!

Sure! Do not worry about it! :)

So first you need to partial strip down the phone. Remowe the battery cover and the back cover...Remove all screws except one. Do NOT remove the screw at the sd card slot...This screw fixing the phone's motherboard. Remove also the sim cards and the sd card to. Remove the back cover carefully.

Second you need a rubber ring, something strong but fit on the phone. You need a piece of wire also.

Prepare your phone to flashing with PC... Runt the Flashtools...etc...etc...Just do nut plugg the phone to the PC.

You need a correct rom: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/i2000-new-4-2-2-rom/

Or this 4.2.1 (i referr the 4.2.2) http://www.4shared.com/zip/JrVUPXCJ/20130510_e2001v21_v89_cxq.html

So prepare for the flashing with this roms, but do not start it yet.

Locate the service spot:

http://www.4shared.com/download/BptEZLPAba/service_spot.jpg?lgfp=3000

Take the battery, fix to phone with rubber ring, check the position!

1, plug the phone to the pc

2, start the flashing process

3, short the last one screw with the service spot

If you do everything good, the flashing starting immediately, when the green circle appear, you have done, enjoy! :)

Let me know you was successful or not

Best Regards:

Skot

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

Oh!

Something else the problem here...

Try the following steps:

1, try update or change the adb driver

2, change the usb port on the PC

3, change the usb cable

4, short the service spot to the screw only!

5, remove that black cable...Anyway, what is the purpose? Some kind of black magic? :)

[General Questions and Answers] t0mahawk:
Hello again,

I've already partially stripped the phone, and located the service spot.

I've prepared the phone for flashing and tried 3 different preload drivers: 1) Preloader USB VCOM (Android), 2) MTK USB Port, 3) Single USB Port.

I've held the battery in place using a rubber band, and checked that service spot short with the MB screw using a small piece of wire (that's the black cable).

I've swapped USB cables and USB ports in the computer - but still I get the same DRAM_FAIL error every time (the time it takes for the error to appear differs from 6 seconds to 41 seconds, but the error is always the same).

any other ideas?

Thanks,

Tom.
[General Questions and Answers] Skot78:
Yes i have few more ideas :)

First...What is your system on PC? Win7? You should use Win7 or Win XP.

1, try different version of Flashtools http://www.4shared.com/zip/CBA1yGcq/SP_Flash_Tool_v313040119.html

2, Uninstall the drivers, reboot and install it again but different: http://www.4shared.com/zip/TPj497mj/6577driver_install_3_steps.html

3, make sure you running the flashtools with administrator privileges

4, when you start the flash just after plug the phone, and sort the spot with the screw.

When you sort the spot with the screw...you spotted any blinking from the button-backlights? Would be!

2.Target might be shut down unexpectedly or target lost power supply.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] icharleslin:
Technology is getting smarter and smaller. Devices are evolving to the point that they are able to wirelessly charge. The CHOE UPGRADED Qi Wireless Charger Charging Pad is a great example for devices evolving. This small device can charge devices, such as tablets, that are much larger than the wireless charger itself.

Inside the package is the Qi charging pad, a micro USB cable and an instruction packet. Te packaging is also very small, but able to safely fit its contents inside. My initial thought is that this is the smallest Qi charger that I have (3.6 x 0.4 x 3.6 inches).

The charging pad has a mat black finish. The top has an imprint of the Choetech logo. The front has a blue LED that is on when a compatible Qi device is placed. The back has a micro USB slot to power the wireless charger, but does not include an actual AC adapter to power the device. Using the USB 2.0/3.0 ports on a desktop or laptop would only give 0.9A max, which isn’t efficient for charging a device. Using the included AC adapter of your device should be used. The bottom has four anti slip rubber feet which is a great for resisting slipping and scratching the bottom. The bottom also has the following:

Wireless Charger Model No: T511

Input: 5V/2A (Max)

Output: 5V/1A (Max)

Qi Standard

Full Specifications:

Input: 5V 1-2A

Output transmission power: 5W

Transmitting frequency: 110 KHz to 205 KHz

Conversion efficiency: 72% (Max)

Standby power consumption: 10mW

Working temperature: 14°F - 104°F

Shell surface temperature: 113°F (Max)

I then tested this device with my Nexus 7 (2013), running android 4.4.2 with a 3950 mAh battery, and a 2.1A charger from my Nexus 7 (2013). The results were as follows:

43% 5:12pm

60% 6:28pm

71% 7:12pm

The battery went from 43% to 71% in two hours, or 28%. This means it would take roughly 7-8 hours to fully charge this device. These results aren’t horrible but aren’t great either. For the portability, it does charge the device well.

Overall, this device is made with portability in mind. I would recommend this device to individuals that need a portable device to wirelessly charge their device, and why I give it a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.

Pros:

+ Smallest Qi charge device that I own. (3.6 x 0.4 x 3.6 inches)

+ Anti-slip feet prevents the bottom from scratching.

+ Micro USB interface for charging.

Cons:

- Would take roughly 7-8 hours to fully charge my N7 2013.

- No included AC adapter

I was provided a sample in exchange for an honest and thorough review.
