Fun accident

Well here's my story.

I was trying to debrand some Huawei Y330-U05 in order to resell them. My first clue was to root the devices and remove all the Entel PCS crap, but I was unable to remove the Boot Splashscreen. So I looked over the net and I could not find a compatible ROM for my model. I downloaded a Y330-U01 ROM from Europe and I tried to flash it figuring that later I'd have to fix the 3G bands. FlashTools did not let me do that and I had the stupid idea to boot the biit.img and recovery.img from the U01 into the U05 with MTKdroidTools. Bricked the phone, and the only way to bring it back was to use the U01 ROM and flash it back. I changed my device from U05 to U01, like I wanted at first but I cant change the 3G bands and I don't have 3G connnection now.

I can't flash back the U05 backup ROMs I did from the phone before I started messing with them because the of the model mismatch (Phone now thinks it is a U01 version). And since there is no stock ROM for the U05 model to download, except for an UPDATE.APP from Movistar Mexico that phone refuses to accept, I'm afraid that if I reverse the whloe process I will end up with a bricked phone and no Stock ROM to bring it back.

Here comes the question. How do I force install a WRONG ROM into my phone? Remember: my Y330-U05 now thinks it is a Y330-U01.

Thanks a lot!

SU Inaccessible error

i saw your screenshot and yellow box at the bottom clearly indicates that your device has not been rooted properly. adb still exists as secure region. it is said that your device should said to be rooted properly only when your device got adb insecure. However, if your device has locked bootloader, doing so, i.e. entering or making adb insecure may lead your device to dead boot, a stage from which there are only two ways to survive from:- JTAG/RIFF box OR by replacing motherboard!!!!

However, if your bootloader is unlocked and only if your device is dev friendly, following link may help you to get green box at the bottom of MTK Droid Root Tools indicating your device has proper root access.

However, i have successfully solved this error in my panasonic p81 by making adb insecure.

Though, Do this on your own risk....Remember again, making adb insecure may make your device FAIL!!!!

Hi [MENTION=2105197]s7yler[/MENTION], i have an KingSing S2 with MTK6582 CPU. It was supposed to be pre-rooted by etotalk (chinese online store) but unfortunately it's not. I tried to root with Framaroot apk but all 3 methods did not work. Also i tried to flash the rom you provided in this thread following the same procedure as in the video you posted but i have run into 2 issues, first the "MT65xx Preloader" driver failed to install and second in SP Flash Tool after selecting the scatter.txt file there is no pink bar loading. Any ideas on how to solve those issues and flash the ROM or how to root the pre-installed rom?

EDIT: after many many retries flashing has started... if i have other issues i will re-edit this post.

EDIT 2: ROM flashed successfully and root works! Thank you for the great tutorial!

[General Questions and Answers] Pretorian187:
wireless update failed

Hi,

I have an issue with an update on my china MTK6589 phone and I can´t seem to find a solution. I´d greatly appreciate your help. Currently I´m running on 4.2.2 rooted aosp stock. I exchanged the stock recovery to "rua1 auto cwm v5.5.0.4" So I wanted to update the firmware to the latest version over wireless update. So the file gets downloaded to /sdcard/adupsfota/update.zip then the phone boots into CWM. But in there it says:

E: Invalid command argument

Finding update package...

E: unknown volume for path [/storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip]

E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard0/adupsfota/update.zip

Installation aborted.

I also tried to move the update.zip into /sdcard and into the external sd folder to use the option "choose zip from sdcard" and apply /sdcard/update.zip but I got:

finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installation aborted.

( I disabled toogle signature verification and toggle scrip asserts). Still failed.

Then when I choose in CWM the option "choose zip from internal sdcard" and go to the /sdcard/adupsfota folder to choose the update.zip I get:

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "We 8" ll getprop("ro.build.product") =="We 8"

E: Error in /emmc/adupsfota/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

So I googled the issue and some ppl suggested to update CWM. So i downloaded the rom manager and tried to update. Not possible as this device is not supported. I checked the updater-script file and make sure that in assert the name there corresponds with the real device name. And it does. ADB confirmed that. I also tried to totally delete line

assert failed: getprop ("ro.product.device") == "We 8" ll getprop("ro.build.product") =="We 8"

put the file back into the update.zip, tried to flash again in CWM but that didn´t help either. It then just says:

Installing update...

Installation aborted.

I thought of updating via ADB sideload but my CWM does not have the sideload option. So I´m totally stuck and I would greatly appreciate your help. I´d gladly send you some booze money over ur donation link if you are able to help me out. Wasted already many hours on that. I think the issue could be CWM. If it would be stock recovery I think I wouldn´t have that issue. But the problem is that when I did a backup of the naked stock ROM i chose to add CWM. So if I would flash that ROM again it would include CWM and not stock recovery. Factory reset doesn´t work either. CWM is still there. Any advice how to sort this out? Maybe I wrongly "edited" the updater-script. I uploaded the original update.zip file here: https://www.mediafire.com/?69fh9j36qep2lzg

Thanks

Can I backup ROM without Custom Recovery?

Coz my phone doesn't have any ??
[General Questions and Answers] vicky34:
very beautifully explained,,,thanks
[General Questions and Answers] X-weApon-X:
I'm havin a helluva time with this tool, it detects my device and then promptly crashes when I press "root". The instant it turns green, I get a disconnect notice. I can't even connect my MTK6735 device without a disconnect. Then, on a MTK6582 device, I got past that and into creating the backup ROM set, only to receive a disconnect error RIGHT in the middle of it while dumping the system image files. What do you do, the disconnect notice also shuts off the program. Just keep trying, maybe try a different USB Cable?

Oi, it finally finished without any more disconnects. I packed the ROM, and then I prepped it for FlashTool. And I installed CWM, but it's upside-down!

Oh well, it works. How about this "partition SD card" in CWM, I want to try to reformat the card, I think it's a bad card. Now I guess I'll try my 6735 device again.

(Edit) OK, I had basically no trouble at all doing my MK6582 device, but my MK6735? It just WILL not stay connected. Right after Root Access is seen, BOOM, the device is KICKED off of the Bus. I mean, it just kills my ADB connection. Can this program even be used for MTK6735's?

(Edit2) I have been at this the whole time, I have tried 3 other PC's from XP to Windows 10, and most of the time, I can't even get a CONNECT in the first place. And the only Windows 7 PC that allows me a connect, boots me out instantly when Root is detected. I tried both 32 bit and 64 bit Win 7, I even tried with the Vol+ button, which seems to help connect better on that one PC, but it is STILL crashing when the light turns green, and the popup prevents anything else from being done. I even installed PDAnet, and that would not work, because it crashes when ADB is running. Normally, a new PC detects the device driver the first time it's connected, and it did on that one Win 7 PC, and all the rest of them refused, and all other drivers offered were a waste of time. So this program is really starting to make me very angry.

Maybe this has something to do with it, when I connect my phone, I see this message:

--->>> Connect to device <<<---

--->>> Connect to device <<<---
--- ERROR : --- TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default Page/Spare=2048/64 !!!
ATTENTION! File /system/recovery-from-boot.p which restore factory recovery in case of phone switching on in a normal mode Is Found!

hello.

i have a cubot x10 with MT6592, my usb port only charges the phone, i think is broken, how can i write a recovery.img from the phone? i'm rooted with supersu, i've tried a few apps to flash recovery from play store but none of them worked.. any hopes?
[General Questions and Answers] X-weApon-X:
If it charges then it is not broken most likely. Check out this all-in-one driver:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

I installed that and then mtk Droid tools saw my device instantly when it was plugged in, and then I used it on my 6582 how to make a full backup and then to install recovery.

Generally you do not use that tool to write a recovery use spflash to write it- which you do when the device is powered off.
[General Questions and Answers] Sisqo:
as said before, the phone isn't recognized by the pc, no refresh in device manager when i plug it in usb, i've tried the drivers from that link, but nothing, i think pins 2 and 3 from the usb port are broken, as said by others on web when they had the same problem... i've tried flash_image recovery recovery.img but it doesn't flash the recovery.img i think because the recovery partition is part of /dev/block/mmcblk0, which is devided in other partitions also, and it must be written in a certain address, size a00000, startaddr 27a0000, this i read from /proc/dumchar_info. other solutions?
[General Questions and Answers] X-weApon-X:
Sorry, It was a longshot, I was hoping your device was just being stubborn or the PC was at fault (mine usually is, so many drivers installed) - I have found video tutorials on how to fix Samsung USB ports, but there is not that much for your specific device. Maybe one of those can help you replace the port. Maybe you can find a local cell repair that can do it, I have seen places that offer to fix the ports for 60 dollars. Hope you can get it repaired!
[General Questions and Answers] Sisqo:
it doesn't worth to pay that much to repair it:)

dumchar_info looks like this:

recovery 0x0000000000a00000 0x00000000027a0000 2 /dev/block/mmcblk0 USER

what would the right dd command to backup the recovery?

i've found a site:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=1024 count=6144 skip=14208 to backup recovery and

dd if=/path_of_new_recovery_img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1024 count=6144 seek=14208 to write a new one, but i don't know the values of bs count and skip ?
[General Questions and Answers] X-weApon-X:
I dunno, you got me with those values. Should be a way to dump the ROM with a recovery. Try "Romdump" http://www.nairaland.com/2136876/how-easily-backup-dump-stock

Too bad its not cost effective to repair.

sent from one of my Sophones or Goophones, who knows which one?
[General Questions and Answers] Sisqo:
So i figured out how size and startaddr values can be used, the right command to backup is dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/rec.img bs=1024 count=10240 skip=40576.

Those addresses are hex and need to be converted to decimal, after that, devided by 1024, size value use it for count and startaddr for skip. Next question, can i write anothet recovery image with a different size at that startaddr? I know if i just test it.. Maybe it will brick the phone:)

Anyone with experience can give an advice?

edit:

so i wrote the custom image with the command dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1024 count=10240 seek=40576

when booting to the new recovery i get black screen and then it reboots to normal, i wrote back the default recovery image so i can boot to recovery again... maybe the custom recovery isn't good or something, i tried 3 different recoveries...
