Hi, this link is dead, could you please upload it to new place?
[Android General] nikan06:
You don't need any tool to flash boot image, you have fastboot for this.

fastboot erase splash -> if you want to erase the splash image and see the penguin

fastboot flash splash splash.img -> if you want to flash a splash image

If you erase splash partition you will see the penguin at the first ~14 secs of boot. After that you will see the boot animation.
[Android General] DhaniBaho:
[MENTION=6275614]nikan06[/MENTION] that's correct, I thought it was a tool to convert images (BMP,PNG,jpeg,etc.) to splash... Could you tell me or maybe a link how to convert an image or make splash.img for this phone?

I don't know how you try it, but i know that boot partition from KIS3 is not compatible with C230w

maybe you can try to install only the system partition and keep boot from your working rom.

Let us know if it's working :confused:

It work !!!

I don't know where you get your file but everything go fine i finally get my CWM recovery showing something !

Now i need to twek a litllt to get support for the sdcard1 and get backup on it by default (shouldn't be too hard to do)

Congratulations for the working recovery. Keep in mind, that there are different versions of the Phicomm Clue c230w. I asked the german Phicomm office for the kernel source code. They released it at http://gpl.phicomm.com/. It's the source for c230wEU, but it has the defconfigs for the c230w and other versions, too.
[Android General] dualsim.kiev.ua:
Hello guys!

I also need CWM for Phicomm C230w model.

I would greatly appreciate if you share it with me.

I think it will be useful to many other users of this phone model.

Thank you!
[Android General] crazytiti:
I'm currently making some "final touch" like backup on the sdcard1 (if inserted) or sdcard0 instead of internal data

i want it to mount automatically sdcardx and have tar.gz compression enabled.

(modifing recovery.fstab, roots.c and maybe other files)

Then i will put the flashable recovery.img in the first post with some howto :angel:

ps : thank for the link to the source kernel i wasn't beleving it exists! maybe somedays someone will build Cyanogenmod or other custom rom with it.
[Android General] dualsim.kiev.ua:
Really looking forward for this moment!
[Android General] koylaaa:
Great job my good friends crazytiti and arvinquilao,I really appreciate for the great help you have put to this thread,God bless and really hoping to learn from you guys, unfortunately I don't use a PC ,thanks again guys.
[Android General] wladimir_tm:
Maybe better way left user choose where backup to? ;)

just selecting appropriate sub-menu item.

yes - it would be great point!

& how about TWRP? ;)

thnx again!
[Android General] crazytiti:
In CWM recovery it seem not possible to let teh user choose backup folder without "heavy" modifications.

at time i have it auto-mounted and backup to sdcard1 (or 0 if 1 isn't available) with tar.gz

But the backup i get are corrupted, i have to sort this out.

TWRP maybe later if i have enough spare time with my new job (IT dev)
[Android General] wladimir_tm:
maybe just make two different sub-menu items (positions)?

something like:

"Backup to intSD (sdcard0)"

"Backup to extSD (sdcard1)"

or - much more simple --- assuming to "very limited space" of internal SD ---- make the default backup to extSD only ?

maybe its because of "tar.gz"?

& if there will be options to choose (or "as default) extSD -- then no archiving needed? ;)
[Android General] crazytiti:
That's what i call "heavy mods" :-/

Concerning my backup maybe they're are not corrupted, I need to make some tests (something about archive being sliced in different files ex: "filex.tar.gz" size 0 and "filex.a" .b .c ...)

For the last point the backup option backup ALL the phone (system / firmware / recovery / boot / data / sdcard0 / sdcard1 ...) which is nice but take lot of space.

I will try to exclude sdcard1 at least.

edit : the backup don't backup the sdcard0 / 1
[Android General] crazytiti:
My backups are OK !

If you want to open your backup don't use winrar (7-zip is OK)

To put together the files (.tar.gz and .a .b ...) uses :

On Windows: copy /b finelame* filename E.g. copy /b data.ext4.tar* data.ext4.tar

On Linux: cat filename* > filename E.g. cat data.ext4.tar* > data.ext4.tar

I found something strange after made backup and restore it:

my SYSTEM partition went from ~487mb to 787mb total size !

before there was almost no space on it and now i have 300mb.

Note that the internal total size is 3696mb (without additional SD card)

other partitions doesn't seem to have changed:

/data 1117mb

sdcard0 1022

cache 31

firmware 64

boot 10

recovery 10

splash 10

+ ~8 partitions size between 1 to 5mb

this make a total <3100, i think there are some unused space (and maybe some partition i can't see)

86x/64x Recovery

To use the eMMC recovery tool, do I need to do it from a computer with a 32-bit processor? Or can I use it from a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit processor?

x64 Intel Atom 1.66GHz Single-Core Supporting up to 2 GB DDR3.

Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10166 x86.
[Android General] crazytiti:
Why do you need to use eMMC ? it's very easy to brick your device with it !

I suggest you don't do it from windows 10 as no-one tested it and it's still beta.

As far as i know it should work on x86 and x64 OS.
[Android General] moriel5:
I have no choice, both philz and cwm failed to flash either the modified or stock T30 roms (as well as the T27 rom) properly (failed to write to some of the partitions).

And I didn`t backup the stock recovery, and attempting to install the stock recovery from another c230w quad core (yes, that`s the model I have - bought from Pandawill, at a "Happy Hour" sale ($40 instead of $120)) results in a non-responsive recovery which fails to boot.

Regarding Windows 10, I have been testing it for quite a while, and now I can vouch that it`s stable enough even for these kind of things.

Astrali said that in VirtualBox the eMMC tool failed to work, and you replied to him that it requires a real 32-bit computer, that is why I am asking if the processor has to be x86 or just the OS.

From your reply right now, I understand that it should also work on a x64 processor, however, I read somewhere (I forget where) that it has to be specifically x86.

On another note, is there Linux alternative to the eMMC software?

I have a x86 Lubuntu box (with an x86 Intel Pentium 4) that I could use (soon to be replaced by Windows 10 - once my parents get a new hard drive for it).

I had flashed several phones in the past (both Qualcomm and Mediatek), so while I don`t now (yet) how to build anything for the devices, I definitely know my way around the most of the software available for them.

I see that Astrali`s server has gone down, so I`m preparing too upload them to my server when I have time, most of the time I`m not at my parents` home, since I learn at a Yeshivah in Yerushalaim (The real name of Jerusalem).

I had downloaded all of the files, plus some extras which were not in this thread but which have to do with the c230w, in order to provide another mirror.

Update: My server has been cancelled, I don`t have 100 GB for free there anymore, I`ll try finding a server with at least 5 GB for free.
[Android General] crazytiti:
OK, i don't remember about the 32/64bit issue, but for sure it will work on a 32bits OS even if the processor is x64 (virtual or not i don't know).

The problem with win 10 may be the driver from phicom that are not signed and may not work.

I don't know any (linux) alternative to eMMC.

Don't forget that eMMC is just a tool that rewrite all of the memory of the phone (and thus could change partitions), to revive your phone you need the correct files to feed eMMC. (4-cores version)
[Android General] moriel5:
Don`t worry, I have the correct eMMC file, I had downloaded every file i could find.
[Android General] moriel5:
Good news, now I can finally post links.

And I got a new website, so I will upload the files to there when I`ll have time.

The site itself is almost ready.

http://pokethought.pcriot.com

And the folder needed will be [url]http://pokethought.pcriot.com/Uploads/Android/Phicomm/c230w/c230w[/URL].

Update: Site closed.

The files will be in the webserver, but the folders are already there.

Hopefully the site will serve as a mirror to replace Astrali`s.

Unless you will reinstate it, Astrali? In which case there will be 2 mirrors, which is even better.

My site`s only issue is that I have to access it through a proxie, since I don`t live in the US.

Update: The Files are there now, sorry for the delay.

By the way, how can I translate the rom? is it possible to just recieve some strings.xml files like the apps, or do I need something "more"?

On github good idea !

[Android General] moriel5:
Sorry for having forgotten to notify of the success.

Flashing with the eMMC tool was a success, however the rom was still in a bootloop but the recovery worked, which convinces me that something in the rom was incompatible with the rom.

So booted into the booloader, flashed the Philz recovery, and from there flashed the en/es/cn rom.

Result: rom works great, with no bootloop whatsoever.

Afterwards I modified the rom a bit, switching SuperSU with Koush's Superuser ( I prefer SuperSU, but it weighs too much now), updating the busybox, and uninstalling and replacing system apps with Link2SD.

I managed to get the front camera working with the Kitkat CyanogenMOD Camera App, as well as the Gallery partially ( Editor crashing), so for now I'm using QuickPic.

Haven't checked out the coverage yet, since this is my mother's phone, and the operator is a bit finnicky with most phones, so we'll need to call them to notify them about the phone, which may take time (my parents take their time with technology).

I won't be able to check 3G or data, since their not on my mother's plan, sorry about that.

But all else works fine, I did a series of tests, all came out fine.

And crazytiti, you can already link to my site if you wish.

Just tested out the FM Radio, works relatively well. The stations sounded fuzzier than with other phones and standalone radios, but sounded legible.

Used both the stock, and SpiritFM, apps.

An issue I had encountered, though, was that that I could not playback the radio through the speaker, just the earphones.

I'll check the recording feature now.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Recording works fine, both from stock and from SpiritFM.

About the no audio from speaker, I found out it has nothing to do with the radio, putting in the earphones makes the speaker stop working, a reboot is necessary for it to work again.
