Hi Crazytiti

Thanks for replying.

Yes I try the already build cwm or twrp recovery of zte kis 3. But it boots into a white screen with twrp and a blue-black screen with cwm.

Any help was appreciated.
[Android General] crazytiti:
I suggest you to open a new thread specifically for your phone, try to compile the recovery from sources.

When your build struggle ask on your thread for help.

For the phicomm c230w my problem was due to only two file that were missing :

msm_ion.h and msm_mdp.h

see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55598848&postcount=18
[Android General] Eklavya Prasad:
Isn't it is possible to port the recovery to my device ?

There is only some differences in the specs of My Spice Mi 445 & Phicomm c230w .
[Android General] BatDroid:
[MENTION=6023942]crazytiti[/MENTION]

whats cwm11?
[Android General] crazytiti:
It may be possible but I don't have the time to do it, so I suggest you to do it and ask help on xda-dev if you need.

There are a lot of how-to.
[Android General] crazytiti:
what ?
[Android General] moriel5:
He's talking about the thread title.

I didn't notice either, until he asked that question.
[Android General] Eklavya Prasad:
Thanks Crazytiti for your suggestion .

I will give it a try.

Hi wladimir_tm

Can you please share the steps of porting cwm revovery of phicomm c230w to Allview a6.

It can help me a lot because I own a device ( spice MI 445 )which is clone of Allview a6 & phicomm c230w.

Specs of my device are as follows :

Qcom snapdragon 200

MSM8610 1.2 ghz quadcore

512 mb ram & 4 gb rom

4 inch screen,

Android v4.3 sdk 18 ,etc.

Almost all specs are same.

Thanks in advance.
[Android General] crazytiti:
I label it that way for "Clock Work Mod from CyanogenMod 11" because I take the CWM source from this version of cyanogen.
[Android General] Synaps3:
Cant wait to test it on my phicomm c230w quadcore, for me when you will fix sim issue, you could leak some beta :3
[Android General] SDhi:
Sure, I am working hard.
[Android General] moriel5:
Can't wait to test out CM11 on my quadcore C230W.
[Android General] SDhi:
Hi Synaps3 and Moriel5,

Your wait is over. Are you ready to test first CM-11.0 Alpha build ? It is eng (full debug build) with selinux disabled.

Before testing please ensure you have stock ROM backup including Modem and Persistent partitions. I can ask you to provide some information from running stock ROM because there may be some differences between my device and yours. In that case you have to flash back your stock ROM. If you are unsure please do not attempt to test this ROM.

Once you are sure please let me know I'll PM you the link.

Regards,

Sameer Dhiman
[Android General] Synaps3:
Im ready. PM sent
[Android General] SDhi:
Link sent. Please check your PM.
[Android General] moriel5:
I already downloaded the files last night, however I won't have time to test it out until tonight.

By the way, I don't have to "convert" the C230W via download mode, right?

I just need to flash them through Fastboot?
[Android General] Synaps3:
i just can't download because link is some kind of weird
[Android General] moriel5:
It's just Google Drive.
[Android General] SDhi:
Right, you only need fastboot mode.

---------- Post added at 20:43 ---------- Previous post was at 20:42 ----------

Have you checked PM ?
[Android General] moriel5:
Can't flash userdata for some odd reason, keeps telling me that the file is too large, even when sparsing to 1KB pieces, it can't accept even the first piece.

And as a result, CM11 is bootlooping.

When I have a chance, I'll brick the phone with QPST, and try to flash through Download Mode.
[Android General] SDhi:
1. Have you matched md5sum of the image because Synaps has successfully flashed the ROM.

2. If md5sum matches, please let me know the exact size of userdata partition of your device.

Regards,

Sameer Dhiman
[Android General] moriel5:
I don't think that will help, since I think that the bootloader (for some odd reason) can't flash onto the userdata partition, but I'll check.

Update: md5sum matches.

I'm checking the userdata partition size.
[Android General] moriel5:
This seems odd.

I couldn't find a way to view the partition size, and I'm still learning my way with the CLI (despite exclusively using using Linux on my desktop), so I used "stat /dev/block/platform/*/by-name/userdata.

Here is the result.

Sorry about the direction of the picture, I'm running alpha-grade (although it's pretty stable) software on my phone, and havn't found time to update it.
[Android General] Synaps3:
Its working for me but i have some weird issues with sim card opening. After enabling single sim or dual sim everything is working fine, i can make call, surf on the net. But after reboot ive got SystemUI crash. The second issue, i cant install apps from unknown sources because security in setting is just crashing. In antutu benchmark ive got only something about 16k. On orginal rom ive got almost 17k.
[Android General] SDhi:
Moriel, Sorry for delayed response. Do the following.

1. Download parted from below link and unrar in your home directory

http://www.iwillfolo.com/how-to-re-...all-options-included-change-size-fs-type-etc/

2. Upload parted executable to /system/xbin using desktop linux terminal

adb push parted /system/xbin

3. Get the partition details using desktop linux terminal

adb shell parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 unit B print | tee partition_size.txt

4. Email or Attach the partition_size.txt

Synaps3, I asked you in PM a question about in-call voice quality from earpiece. In my device earpiece volume is too low and voice is distorted (sounds like popcorns are bursting). This issue does not happen with stock ROM means there is no hardware problem with handset's earpiece. Specifically happening with CM-11.0. I need your input to confirm this issue.
[Android General] moriel5:
No problem, I'll do so tonight, before I go to sleep.

And no worries, even if you reply late, I reply to other people very late at times, myself.
[Android General] SDhi:
Thanks :)

Please also post the outcome of the following command

adb shell cat /proc/fdv_info | tee fdv_info.txt
[Android General] moriel5:
No problem, I'll do so at the same time as the above.
[Android General] moriel5:
Sorry, I fell asleep in the end.

But here they are.
[Android General] SDhi:
1. Your device has exact partition sizes except userdata it is 32MB (33554432 Bytes) smaller. That's why your fastboot mode was refusing to flash userdata image.

2. It is good to know that your device has same camera sensors as mine.
[Android General] moriel5:
Any idea why it is smaller?

And would attempting to resize it with parted brick my phone, like what happened to Astrali's phone?
[Android General] SDhi:
Never ever try to resize partitions this will hard brick your phone because partition information is also stored in little kernel (fastboot mode).

Why it is smaller?

It depends majorly on chip version/model and manufacturer for example if you see same capacity let say 500GB hard disk from Seagate and Western Digital there would be difference in Bytes in total RAW capacity.

I'll rebuild entire CM according to your device's partition size and will let you know.
[Android General] SDhi:
Hi Moriel5,

Use previously shared link to download new CM11 build adjusted to your device's userdata partition size this partition size is also working fine on my device. There are known issues In-Call Earpiece voice quality, FM and UMS (USB Mass Storage).

Regards,

SDhi
[Android General] moriel5:
I'm on it.
[Android General] moriel5:
Here are my results so far, enclosed as attachments.

And yes, I enabled the navbar, but the issues were the same with the physical buttons.
[Android General] SDhi:
Ooo... got it. There must be some differences in hardware and vendor libraries. I would require your complete Stock ROM image.

1. boot.img

2. recovery.img

3. system.img or tar backup.

4. adb pull /proc/config.gz

5. adb getprop | tee c230w_allprops.txt

6. adb shell su -c dmesg | tee c230w_dmesg.log

7. adb logcat | tee c230w_logcat.log

8. Picture of sticker underneath battery.

9. CPU version and total RAM (screenshots of complete about phone would be good).

10. Battery label picture or its Voltage and mAh capacity.
[Android General] moriel5:
Unfortunately, I had lost it a long time ago.

However, the EN-ES-CN rom found a bit earlier in this thread fully supported the hardware (when I managed to install it, it's in an ext4 backup format), it's also found on NeedROM.

Only hardware problem was with 3G, however the same issue was also present with the stock rom.

Update: I had just remembered, I think I have copy of the stock files on my laptop, I'll check tonight.
[Android General] SDhi:
Oh...OK. ext4 format would also work.

When you take picture of the sticker underneath battery, please do not forget to obfuscate the IMEI numbers.

My mistake, I overlooked your fdv_info. OV5648 is 0 zero means your device has different back camera sensor. actual camera sensor would be listed in kernel dmesg.

[MENTION=5201093]Synaps3[/MENTION]

If you have matching device as moriel5 would you please share your stock ROM images ?
[Android General] SDhi:
Hi Moriel5,

Go to below link and let me know which ROM is original and closer one to your device ?

[Android General] moriel5:
In the end, I don't have the stock rom on my laptop.

I'm sorry about the delay, I'm having an extremely busy week.

I'll check a bit later from my desktop, after I get home, since I can't seem to open the link from my phone.

Any rom testing on my end though, will have to wait until next week.

I'm that busy.

does anyone know where i can find an LCD for the phicom c230w ?

On Aliexpress.

I want to buy one myself, perhaps next month.

And what is the staus of the CM11?

I may not be able to test roms very often lately, however I can still post on XDA Labs from my phone.

[Android General] SDhi:
I have tried everything but in call voice from earpiece is not fixed.
[Android General] moriel5:
I think that may be the same that I had found.

It's alright, fo you have thoughts as to why it could be?

And I have just realized that I had forgotten about the link from back then.

I had just took a look at it, and I can't tell which is which, due to it all being in chinese.
[Android General] SDhi:
It could be CM-11 audio customization which may be causing this problem. So far I have tried

1. Stock kernel.

2. Stock audio HAL libraries.

but still in-call voice from Earpiece is not clear enough to understand, If I switch to speaker mode voice is clear.

I have doubt that stock ROM uses 48 KHz as default sampling rate but CM-11 defaults to 44.1 KHz which selects different clock frequency.

Do not know, what exactly is faulting.

To have a clear understanding listen to attached recordings.
[Android General] moriel5:
I'll listen to it on my Doogee soon, and on the Phicomm tonight, to better understand the situation.

Hello Everybody,

At last, In-Call audio issue has been fixed but I would require some time to polish the ROM before beta release. The issue was audio codec's bit not being turned on.

That's great.

If anyone needs them, I think I also have them backed up on my external hard drive.

I really need to get my website up and running again, since I was practically using it as a web server for things like this back then.

And I would have posted sooner, however my phone's (I am now using a Nexus 4, however I still have my Phicomm (my mother now has an LG G3 Beat), which is now also in need of a new LCD) OS wasn't functioning, and I had only had time to fix it a few days ago, and thus I did not see this until now.

[Android General] perpe:
The stock ROM of this device isn't good. It creates a swap file in /system during boot, this swap file is 300MB big. Your missing 300MB should be this file.

I bought the C320W EU version for a friend. This version has 1 GB RAM and even this creates that stupid swap. I modified the boot image and disabled swap.

Swap could be useful if you have the 512MB version, but is useless with 1 GB RAM. Another downside of their stupid swap file in /system is that the system partition is always mounted RW.
[Android General] wladimir_tm:
maybe its just about SWAP-file (~ 300 Mb) ; )

look @ init.d scripts )
[Android General] crazytiti:
In fact on my device the 300mb swap file was in the setup_swap.sh at the root, but when i receive the device the swap file was only 8mb and the system partition size was 487mb (and free space 0)

I think someone have messed up my system partition before shipping the phone :-/

And i confirmed this swap partition is very useful on the 512mb version i think the minimum should be around 100mb of swap otherwise android run out of free memory and close app. (a visual effect is the apps icon refresh)

I don't mind "loosing" 300mb in swap (it's for a better experience) but i care about free space not usable ;)

Before this happen I have had setup a 200mb swap file on a swap partition on the external SD

Something interresting : the setup_swap.sh script seems to run endlessly with an infinite loop and a 8 sec sleep :

# Start linux swap
mount -o rw,remount,barrier=1 /system
if [ ! -f /system/phicomm.swap ];then
#rm /system/phicomm.swap
dd if=/dev/zero of=/system/phicomm.swap bs=1024 count=307200
fi
busybox mkswap /system/phicomm.swap
busybox swapon /system/phicomm.swap

while [ 1 ]
do
swap_on=$(busybox free|busybox grep "Swap"|busybox tr -s ' '|busybox cut -d ' ' -f2)
if [ "$swap_on" == "0" ];then
busybox mkswap /system/phicomm.swap
busybox swapon /system/phicomm.swap
fi
sleep 8
done
[Android General] crazytiti:
I dig a little about the wrong date/time and it seems to be a kernel issue.

On this platform (qualcomm...) writting to RTC is disabled to prevent modem being crash

So without radio we don't have correct date/time (I don't know how the phone get the correct date when set in airplane mode and rebooted)

a workaround would be to use a special kernel that allow to write to RTC once a while (something says that modem crash after one hour of RTC writing)

Another more simple workaround seem to be using rom manager to make backup (to be validated)

Where did you see that it's CWM and not Philz ?

'cause Philz is based on CWM...

Did your try to boot it ?

If you get something with violet background and many options it's Philz

If you get dark background it's CWM.

Almost, you can use the "search all forums" with "c230w"

there are post about getting root and one post about running firefox OS on c230w
[Android General] DhaniBaho:
i've gathered files about this phone from it's manual books to [MENTION=6023942]crazytiti[/MENTION] 's recoveries and put them in one single folder

>> HERE <<

:D :D :D

*** the C230w_T30.zip is the latest ROM from PHICOMM, but it doesn't have Google Play and has only two languages chinese (default) and english and not rooted, the T27 is rooted (superuser by clockworkmod) and has Google Play***

by the way.. is this phone really have GPS for navigation?

i'm using gravity box JB (xposed) to do some mod but not all modules or features on the module works for example the data traffic monitor or statusbar...

and Link2SD doesn't work, error when to create the mount script, it says "Operation not supported on transport endpoint"
[Android General] crazytiti:
Yes it have GPS, but it lacks compass.

link2sd doesn't work, but you can use native android function and for the /data you can make a symbolic link yourself to the sdcard. (i have made this on other phone without problem)

nice.. could you tell how to do that or maybe the link to guide me... :o
