I do not have to apologize for anything, because I know what I'm referring to. I'm not English, I'm Spanish and I can not express myself clearly, my message was not just for you, when I write 'you' in my previous post, is in plural, to all those who have stained the thread with doubts and questions which dont have nothing related with the ifive 3gs. I repeat that I have nothing against you, and the message wasnt addressed only to you, its for more people.But I repeat, I dont have to apologize for anything, much less shame, as you ask me by private message. This is my last message about this, I only want continue talking about 3gs. If you give the hint that's your problem, not mine. I'm just an 'amateur' like you say?. Greetings and have a nice day.

@ ozerec and MacArthur

Thanks for being a part of this community and for sharing your experiences to us. Nice to have peace again now.

So let's come back to our beautiful mini 3GS. Nobody wants to test my last rom mod ? So it wasn't worth the upload unfortunately.

Other thing: I think there won't come a real custom rom like CM for our devices. And we won't see another kernel also. Windows or Linux is not really funny on small 8inchers. I have some devices running Win8 and it's funny to have it but the best system for potable devices is Android. Let's think you have an Dual Boot device - I am sure you will use Android in 90% of the real using time (not experiencing).

Long story cut short: Be happy that our mini 3GS is working really great and the stockrom is nearly perfect. Nobody really needs another system. So let's come back to topic and test the available romps and give experience and tips to other users.

Thanks to everybody here.

Don't worry, I will test it for sure. Not because I need an upgrade now when I have solved the persisting NVRAM error, but because it's interesting to try. Besides I'm not using the 3GS much now and the risk of creating more problems than I solve just makes it more interesting and I learn something. I will start with setting a dummy IMEI and then back up the NVRAM and post it here as a generic NVRAM. I'll be back about that soon.

[MENTION=6201761]ozerec88[/MENTION]: English is not my native language either but that's not the problem with your message. If you wanted to direct your message to "all those who have stained the thread", you could have written a more general message, but it became personal because you quoated me in your post. Accidentally or not you accused me of "spamming" and "staining" this thread even though I have 70 posts here and only less than 5 are off topic and all my off topic posts are replies to already established off topic subjects. Furtermore, if you look at the path to this thread it is: … -> Adroid General -> [Review] FNF iFive … . General! We are in general = mixed = more free sub domain of xda. I called you an amateur not because of your Android or 3GS experience but because of your lack of knowledge about general forum rules and your bad manners. If you followed the general forum rules that goes for nearly all major forums on internet I would not feel forced to write this message in reply and we would have ~5 less "spam" messages in the thread.

General forum rules that you broke:

* Don't get personal; a good general rule: Criticize ideas, not people and even then do it constructively.

* Don't make slanderous statements, or anything else that might violate someone's privacy.

If you don't think you owe me a personal apology for hanging me out as a "spammer" and "stainer" even though you quoted my off topic post ONLY, then apologize to the thread and forum members for breaking 2 general rules and creating a lot of "spam" in reply to your "spam". Have a nice evening!

2.0.4

I'm now on pogodancer's 2.0.4. I did a Titanium backup right before I flashed the new rom and everything is back to normal again. As usual I lost the IMEI but that's no problem as I already restored the real one with MTKDroidTools. I also got the "NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10" error back and this time the fix I posted in #751 don't seem to work, but I'll fix it. I made a generic NVRAM file before I flashed 2.0.4 but because of my NVRAM problems I don't think it's a good idea to post it here. Some setting can be wrong somewhere.

The first difference I noticed in 2.0.4 is that the boot logo and the boot animations are different and in landscape instead of portrait. Mr. pogodancer also included a small descrete name tag to the initial boot logo :) . The language support (word lists) for the built in Android keyboard has been cleaned or the original 2.0.4 was a slimmer version. It only contains 7 major languages now but that doesn't affect the system language, only the keyboard word lists (spell checking, auto correction, …). It doesn't matter to me because I use TouchPal anyway.

Other than the above I notice no big differance but some small things and I guess I will discover some more in time. The performance is the same also ~30500 in AnTuTu with all my 250 apps installed but with Greenify frozen crapware like FB Messenger etc. Pogodancer included Aptoide in this version for the user who wants some freedom from Google Play - good!

Thanks [MENTION=4546777]pogodancer[/MENTION]!
[Android General] DiMacho:
I am also on 2.04 from PogoDancer. It is working without errors. No crashes of the settings when clicking in about. That is a plus!

Trying to fix that NVRAM error also, hope it works. Otherwise, could [MENTION=5994621]MacArthur67[/MENTION] upload the generic NVRAM file he made?
[Android General] MacArthur67:
I don't think it is really generic yet as I got the NVRAM error back after flashing 2.0.4. This time my fix in post #751 in this thread didn't work either so later this week I will try to solve it and then if I succeed I could make a new "generic" NVRAM. Or perhaps if someone without the NVRAM problem did it instead. Did you try what I psted in #751? It might work in your tab.
[Android General] DiMacho:
It worked for me! I did it constantly with wifi on! Cause I used google drive to cuopy the file to my pc to edit it... Maybe that was the difference?!

Edit: And after a restart it is back.... Will try withour wifi!
[Android General] pogodancer:
@ MacArthur & DiMacho

Did I understand correctly: Before flashing my 2.0.4 mod you didn't have the NVRAM error. But after flashing you have that error?

Did you use the FNF flash tool?

Did you try to replace the TWRP recovery with the stock one when flashing?

Did you make a NVRAM backup with MTKdroidTools before flashing?
[Android General] DiMacho:
I allways had that error.
[Android General] pogodancer:
And you never made a backup with MTKdroidTools ?
[Android General] MacArthur67:
[MENTION=1277920]DiMacho[/MENTION]

Yes, I used the FNF Flash tool both this time and last time (when I first got the NVRAM problem). No, I did nothing about the TWRP.

I had the NVRAM error since I flashed your 2.0.3 (not your fault, it's obviously a common MTK device error). Then I was able to fix it with the fix I posted in #751.

After flashing 2.0.4 i got it back but this time the fix didn't work.

I had a generic IMEI in my tab either from that it was new or after the first OTA from 1.0.9 to 1.1.1. (I never tried calling with it until I installed the OTA). I was able to fix that with MTKDroid then. Then when I flashed 2.0.1 I didn't do a NVRAM backup and lost IMEI and restored it. Same with 2.0.3. Now going to 2.0.4. I made a NVRAM backup but it doesn't help, I still have the NVRAM problem. The fix I posted is probably mainly for MT6582 and MT6589.

But, there is a fix here on XDA also that seems very promising and users report that it worked on MT6592 devices also. Some users get the problem back after reboot. Maybe because they didn't switch off wifi before the file change. Note that you get the developer's mac address with this fix (I think). No problem for me as I have no more devices that I have to fix like this so there will be no collision. Also the mac can be changed with a hex editor and search and change everywhere the number appears. I will try it when I have more time.

@ MacArthur

I would try every thing new from the beginning :

- Changing IMEI to the original from your retail box using the IMEI tool

- Setting the original MAC

- Flashing one of the first stockrom in version 1

- if necessary repeating IMEI and MAC

- if it helps, doing a clean NVRAM backup

Good luck.
[Android General] ozerec88:
Has ended the support and scene for this model? Im thinking about sending an email to the same person in charge of FNF wich answered me the last time about the tempetature problem of the tablet, and ask him about lollipop. But the main incovenience is mediatek..
[Android General] MacArthur67:
The IMEI is no problem, it's easy to restore the original and it stays after reboot and I already did that.

Setting the original MAC is a bit of a problem for me because it's not printed on the box. Only IMEI and SN is on the box. The MAC address number I wrote down on the box can be a generic number that I got at some point like I got the generic IMEI.

Yes, if the IMEI fix here on XDA don't work then maybe flashing 1.1.1 would help. Maybe by first formatting the whole flash with SP Flash Tool (full version of the program, not the light version that comes with FNF ROMs). What do you think?

On the other hand the “NVRAM WARNING: Err=0x10″ problem is not a big problem. It's just annoying to see a virtual wifi router with that name in the wifi list.

I will try the fix here on XDA first and see where it leads to. Maybe asking a few questions on that thread might help also.
[Android General] DiMacho:
Yes that worked for me! Finale The annoying NVRAM bug is gone:laugh:
[Android General] MacArthur67:
Yes, the fix worked in my tab also. :good:

But, when I change to my original MAC in a HEX editor I get the NVRAM error back again, and I don't understand why. I read something somewhere about problems with MAC addresses that starts with 00 (like my original MAC), but I don't remember where. Means I'm stuck with the MAC address in the file that the developer posted (D0:B3:3F:7D:95:B0).

Never mind, the chance that I will ever be on the same wifi as someone else who has used the same fix is probably one in a billion. Besides, I'm using Pry-Fi in all my devices for MAC spoofing and mess up tracking all the time anyway. The annoying NVRAM error is gone, which is the main thing for me.

Flashing 1.0.9 or 1.1.0? [and how?]

Hi all,

Just got my ifive (running 1.0.7) and I want to root (in order to get rid of not needed apps and solve the 2 gb matter).

I'm coming from samsung and htc machines and therefore doesn't really feel comfortable with the MTK. Hence I have a few question, as follows:

1. Is all that required for root is running the update file posted in the first pages?

2. Would it work only on 1.0.9? or also on 1.1.0?

3. Assuming that only 1.0.9, then, how do i flash the zip of the 1.0.9? (i have the file, the technique is not clear to me)

4. How do I install a complete recovery?

many thanks in advance,

Dliven
[Android General] jonahy:
1 . Yes flash in default recovery i posted a link for steps.

2. Yes both.

3. Just flash the 1.10 zip then update.zip for root then remove system apps. I posted 1.10 d/l link.

4. So far not sure there is 3rd party recovery for it ( cwr , twrp..).
[Android General] itsme12345:
Not sure then what is the issue in my 3GS in India, not sure any service center for fnf Ifive in India. any one have the first time cwm backup or any nandroid backup so that i can replace it on my 3GS and see if network works for calling, or any mk6592 clone firmware we can try to install on our 3GS.
[Android General] dliven:
Just to make sure, if I run the OTA update (now it is 1.1.0), can I then run the update from an SD card and my system will be rooted?

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] jonahy:
Yes you can do that.
[Android General] whigga:

Not this tablet but maybe a different tablet whit the same processor.

I know that there is 2GHZ version for MTK6592, like there was 1.2GHZ MTK6589 and 1.5GHZ MTK6589T.

Hi, (sorry for my english)

I've got a FNF Ifive mini 3 retina. with 2.0.4 firmware. How to root it ? Could you explain to me ? I've try several method but I can't do it. Is it possible ? And how ? Thank you in advance.
[Android General] MacArthur67:
The easiest and best way for you would be to flash pogodancer's cleaned, rooted and optimised stock 2.0.4 firmware earlier in thin thread.

Before I did that I rooted 2.0.4 with iRoot and then replaced the Chinese SU app with SuperSU. That is a much longer and more complicated way to go than to flash pogodancer's fw. Make it simple for yourself, flash his fw, he already did all hard work for us, but make sure that you have a Mini 3GS (you write Mini 3 and that's another model with other hardware).
[Android General] macpowered2:
Thank youfor your advice. I've got a Mini 3GS so I've rooted it with iRoot. But you've written

. Where can I find the pogodancer's 2.0.4 firmware ? I've search it in this thread but I've didn't see it. Is there a tutorial ? I wouldn't make a mistake.

Thanks

Sorry, I've found it on page 73 !
[Android General] macpowered2:
I'm come back because I have another problem. I've rooted my iFive mini 3GS with iRoot with success.

So I've tried to flash it with pogodancer's firmware. My goal is to remove all Chinese apps. I followed pogodancer's tutorial. In MTK Root & Tools v2.5.3, when I click on "ROOT", I've got :

-- ERROR : file adbd not installed.

I'm a bit lost. I've tried to install usb driver but no change.

An idea ? Sorry I'm not a pro !
[Android General] MacArthur67:
You obviously don't get any ADB shell.

1. Is USB debugging switched on in Anderoid Settings in the tab?

2. Do you have the ADB drivers installed in your PC (preferably Win 7)?

If both 1 and 2 is ok MTKDroidTools will recognise your tab a few seconds after that you connect it.

3. Then when you press the ROOT button in MTKDroidTools you must give that program (or all USB ADB access) SU rights in the Chinese SU app that is installed in the tab by iROOT.

If all 3 points above are ok I have no clue to what could be wrong. Maybe Busybox does something? Why did you install Busybox if you were going to flash pogodancer's rom anyway?

Forget the NVRAM backup then and use "Firmware upgrade" choice in SP_Flash_Tool V5 instead of "Download only" choice, which is default choice in V5 and the only choice in some older versions of SP_Flash_Tool. "Firmware upgrade" is the safest way to flash new firmware and won't affect your NVRAM file.

You can download the latest SP_Flash_Tool V5.1524.00 and all necessary drivers here:

http://spflashtool.com

I have attached another flash instruction for SP_Flash_Tool V5, based partly on pogodancer's instruction. The example is for a MT6752 SoC but the routine is exactly the same for MT6592.
[Android General] macpowered2:
Yes switched on

I don't really know if it's installed. I have win 8.1 on my macbook. How can I check that and where can I find the good usb driver. Do you have a link ?

Dou you think I should try with win 7 ?.

Because MTKDroidTools wrote :

- Install busybox

So I did it.

So I don't have to install SuperSU ?

Thank a lot for your help

If I am not wrong you have problems to backup your IMEI. If you want to run the risk you could try to flash the firmware without IMEI backup. But maybe flashing doesn't work if adb isn't working.

But don't forget to write down your IMEI just in case.
