"If people can read your echo here they can also read the original news where you found it"

No not always, I get info directly from the manufactures sometimes. And sometimes I write texts myself. That you can't read somewhere else. Of course it is not always so, depends on the info/news and devices. I love phones and tablets, and that's why I like to be a news poster. If I don't post, someone else would do.

You seem to mass produce short and very trivial reviews of various devices from some reason and then you always leave the thread more or less

No, I follow every single thread I make (else I would probably also not answer in this old thread here now) and if people have real interest in the device I also answer or follow up with news. If people ask something already answered I don't reply, that's right. Else I could spend the whole day answering questions from people. And I would say on 80% of the threads I make, I also always follow up with a full video review of the device.

Next time at least wait until you have the device or let people with a real interest in the device start the thread and write the review.

Doesn't work that way, as the manufactures already post info before the device is released. And many want info as soon it is possible, not 1 month after when the device already is old again.

a great advantage if the OP of a tread has a real interest in the device

Well, it is not really up to you to judge if I have real interest in a device or not. If I am going to test it I will have real interest in it. But some devices are more interesting than others, also after they have been received.

I don't see anything bad in creating threads that can gather people around a device. In these people can help, discuss & develop the device. I see that in my Elephone P8000 thread, my Jiayu S3 thread and UMI ZERO thread, for some devices like for example the UMI IRON it doesn't happen but that's not really my fault. I personally still love the phone.

And PS. I'm from Denmark, so you should really try to be a little more nice to one from your neighbouring country.

Teclast 3G x70

Hello freinds

Please could someone help me, because i am very stuck with the problem and no one over the internet doesnt know how to help me.

My tablet Teclast 3G x70 suddenly become dead and I have luck to repair it by reflashing procedure, but the IMEI has been lost

Please maybe somebody know how to repair it, because I have already tried everything I know...

Thank you
[Device Reviews and Information] yuweng:
You guy always said already tried everything, what actually have you tried, list out everything so its easier to trouble-shoot & to narrow things down... :cowboy:

First of all, did you guys even read the included guide/ tutorial, i flash so many times on my X70 clone, never even once loose the IMEI, try rebooting to stock 3e recovery & do a Factory Reset or using fastboot to do that, that should reset everything back to normal ...

adb reboot fastboot
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

Refer to here for more IMEI repair info....

Hello dear friend Yuweng

I come from 4 PDA forum you must be aware of.

And there is no one can resolve this issue.

First of all I want to thank you for the ROOTING guide - I get root with your help

And about IMEI : i have tried everything you advise to do to recover IMEI

I think it is maybe impossible to recover IMEI because it is INTEL platform like Google Nexus for example (need special hardware to recover IMEI)

Thank you

Your username ends with il then only i try 012.net.il then only realize it... :laugh: All Android OS comes from Google so this means all Android devices are more or less the same, i guess its just a corrupted partition or file missing that causes this IMEI issues, same as many Android devices are experiencing... :cowboy:

Ok, try below command, give me a download link to it & i'll make a comparison to see which file is missing...

adb shell su -c "ls -R" > myx70.txt

After that, try to follow exactly as the FlashTool_E2 guide to download the firmware all over again, one of the pdf stated single-threaded download mode, multi-threaded download mode, try & see if that makes a different.... :fingers-crossed: Russian translated version here... :cool:

Updates

Hmm, that pdf stated 15 firmware files, that means modem.fls, mvconfig.fls & thread.fls is missing, wonder if that causes the IMEI to disappear...

By the way it is some softwareprogram I have been informed in that can do everything including restoring IMEI

But I cant use it bacause it is in CHINESE

Press the power button once & you'll see the stock 3e recovery menu

Use the volume down key to go to wipe data/ factory reset & press power button

Use the volume down key to go to Yes -- delete all user data & press power button

Do the same for cache partition

reboot system now

* Manually format the internal sdcard as well if Factory Reset doesn't remove it

That software you pointed out, the IMEI repair is for MTK devices only.

Check with dAverk how he did it, every detail like where he got the firmware from, the step by step that he took on flashing the firmware, this will narrow things down as why IMEI is lost on you guy's x70 & not him... i believe if you guys follow his steps exactly, you should be able to get the IMEI working again... :fingers-crossed:

Firmware flashing bricks the device, Factory Reset corrupts the IMEI was a thing in the past ( Jellybean/ ICS/ GB issues ), it shouldn't happened on KitKat/ Lollipop devices, i believe... :cowboy:

To yuweng

Everything seems to be OK. And now after a week of try I finally understand that it was not worth trying. Because it finally become clear that it is nothing to do with IMEI. Very good yuweng.

It is seems that actually no one know how to resolve it.

And what is about trying different firmwares?

I just don't understand how would it help.

And about that all android systems are similar it also mistake.

If you want to restore IMEI on Nexus 4 you need special equipment.
[Device Reviews and Information] yuweng:
The reason for your case i guess is everyone is new on your side, as the saying too many cooks spoil the broth... :o

Fyi, my previous device, the MTK, bcos of one Russian DEV shared his findings, thousands of users save hundreds of dollars each.... :good:

Bcos of one DEV shared his unpack/ repack script, i discovered that MTKs ROM can ported over to hundreds if not thousands of similar devices... :cowboy:

And Yes, i've also seen many that says they will never use PhilZ Touch or TWRP ever again bcos it corrupts their device, the reason for this is bcos no DEV is working on that device & end users just blindly installing it & complaining after that... :o The same at 4pda, few that swear to throw away their X70 too... :laugh: We need more DEVs to look into it then it will become a better Android device... :cowboy:

OT : And Yes, you can actually port 4Good firmware to work on X70 & vice-versa, when DEVs starts to work on it, if there is one, bcos it is an exact clone while mine is different, i donno, may be the newer X70 (C6F9) is compatible, i didn't try it... :cowboy:

Port means identify & taking parts of the firmware from other similar device & make it work on yours while flashing the whole firmware will normally leads to a brick device... :cool:
[Device Reviews and Information] dAverkTv:
at now we tried flash 7 block of mmc (because we found many diffs in this block) from working device on dead[imei] - but nothing happens. Try work with whole mmc.
[Device Reviews and Information] yuweng:
it seems that InvisiBot have already made the discovery... :good:

Haven't took a deep look at InvisiBot's findings yet, but found out my device is indeed an exact clone of x70 (C6F9), first flash the recovery.fls, got a landscape 3e stock recovery instead of the original portrait, then proceed to flash the system.fls, everything works except for bluetooth & wifi, last flash the boot.fls & now i got x70 (C6F9) ROM fully working on my device... :laugh:

i guess intel/ Teclast must have made some improvement to libhoudini, overall, it performs better than the original stock ROM with Xposed installed & with zram enabled ... :cowboy:

Updates

Guys, as i've always mentioned it on my other threads, users always feedback it doesn't work, pls describe every little steps that you took, it will be easier to trouble-shoot, narrow things down & solve your problems....

According to InvisiBot, he began experiment by Hex editing partition ImcPartID022 & that bricks his x70 & in doing so he found out there is a hidden feature that you can still download by holding the Power button for 10 seconds then release it & FlashTool_E2 will automatically start to download on your brick device, this mean intel x3 is truly unbrickable... :good:

Thats where he discovered that you guys use the erase whole flash at FlashTool_E2 & that erases the IMEI info, luckily he manage to get his IMEI back... :cowboy:

View attachment 3478674

WARNING : Never use both the erase whole flash option, it will delete your IMEI info ! You guys with the IMEI problem never even once mentioned that...

Conclusion

Indeed the partition ImcPartID022 contains both the IMEI info, device serial number & adb command => adb devices serial no. which is the same as SIM 1, good job InvisiBot... :good:

[COLOR="blue"]Setttings[/COLOR] => [COLOR="blue"]About tablet [/COLOR]=> [COLOR="blue"]Status [/COLOR]=> [COLOR="blue"]SIM 1[/COLOR]/ [COLOR="blue"]SIM 2[/COLOR]

On my x70 clone or shall i say an actual x70 (C6F9) rebrand, the offset is at different location.

Device serial no => 0x1AAC8

SIM 1 => 0x24360

SIM 2 => 0x2436C

adb command => adb devices serial no => 0x2549C

So do make a backup of partition ImcPartID022, this is the only partition that FlashTool_E2 cannot restore if you brick it.

Attention to InvisiBot

Since you said you're making a How-to Guide i'm not going to spoil the soup... :laugh: Don't forget to make one in English Language for sharing with XDA member here too... :good:

Attach below is my empty IMEI for your R&D, i think it should be the same as X70 C6F9... :cool:

X70 Flash Tool Driver Installation & firmware download

Typically, installing the Intel USB driver that comes with the firmware will work ( right-click it & Run as Administrator ) & if it doesn't then follow below guide.

View attachment 3417188

With the device at power off state, USB cable unplug, open Device Manager, plugin the USB cable & an unknown device will appear, quickly double-click it & manually install the FlashUSB.inf included in the FlashUSB_Driver folder.

To download the firmware successfully, follow the guide that comes with it.

Hi Yuweng,

I am a total noob, you have stated many times how to root. Is that the same as unlocking the bootloader?? I am thinking to buy this phablet and want to boot from the sd card, therefore I want to enter the bios (bootloader??).
[Device Reviews and Information] yuweng:
Generally speaking, if you want a device with lots of development then get a Qualcomm SoC based devices which is typically is the most expensive, mid-range to cheap devices get the MTK SoC... :good: On the intel X3 ATM, ZERO development & i don't even think it will boot from the sdcard with whatsoever mods available here on XDA bcos it is not using standard Android image but proprietary intel/ infineon fls file format.... Though i haven't took a deep look at it on whether it'll work or not... :o

Pls help me sir my x70(c6f9) already dead , can't power on and how to boot up

first time I followed your post, bootloader unlock , flash C6F9-unsecured-boot-zram.fls and then using your ROOT-x3-C3130 tool.

But I cannot root access.

So I flash another flash file (x70-unsecured-boot-with-swap-enabled) , my tabet is brick.

I need help, problem with Teclast X70 !

Hi!!

I recently bought a Teclast X70 (1G RAM/8G ROM) and I am having the following problems: Without the SIM cards all works fine, but if I install the SIM cards the screen does not go to sleep automatically (does not shut down by its own) what consumes the battery very fast (example: if I receive a call and I am absent the screen will turn on and continue on until the battery is out of charge (approx: 3 hours)!! The second problem is that the dialer is allways crashing (Dialer has stopped)!!

Under the current conditions I cannot install my SIM cards in the device (only 3 hours of battery)!! This morning I power it up, the battery was full but when I tried to check it in the evening it was off (no battery at all)!

What should I do?

Thank you!!
[Device Reviews and Information] yuweng:
Are both the problems exists after you flash the C6F9 firmware update... :confused: You can try wipe data/ factory reset & see if that solve the problems, refer to reboot to stock 3e recovery...

If you didn't update the firmware then that indicates that the stock firmware has bugs then you can try JOI firmware but only flash the boot.fls & system.fls, fyi, i switch back bcos of the dialer issues.... :cowboy:

I have X70 C6F9 with firmware v1.05_20150704. Where I can download version v1.06_20150806? Is JOI firmware? Thanks
[Device Reviews and Information] imagorin:
Hi,

I've tried to flash the JOI firmware, but seems to be laggy after boot, tried both the stock boot.fls and the unsecured version. Can not be really used on my device. When I flash with the unsecured boot.fls for the C6F9 with the JOI sytem.fls the device is fast and responsive, but WIFI and Bluetooth can't be switched on.

Would you have any advice how to make the tablet work? Thx in advance!
[Device Reviews and Information] yuweng:
Try the attachment & see if it works... :fingers-crossed: if it doesn't then confirmed its the kernel problem then nothing much can be done... :cowboy:
[Device Reviews and Information] imagorin:
Tried the second, seems I managed to brick it. :/

Can't flash anything now, the drivers do not work anymore. I manually added the driver but the flashtool times out.

I can switch the tablet on with volume down and power button. It's late so I might be just tired, but how do I flash the stock ROM back again now?

Thx
[Device Reviews and Information] yuweng:
You guys are always not telling the whole story like the guys at 4pda that lost their IMEI & most importantly, you guys just don't read, i've already shared all my findings.... Fyi, i flashed both the files & it boots...

Found the IMC drivers that will auto-install all the needed CDC drivers on PTEST mode for X3... :good:

Updates

its the kernel problem, meaning if yours is the C6F9 & you flash JOI system.fls then both Wi-Fi & Bluetooth won't work & vice-versa...it has to be in pair, meaning JOI boot.fls with JOI system.fls or C6F9 boot.fls with C6F9 system.fls

Updates

Got Wi-Fi working by patching kernel module from C6F9 to JOI ROM... :cowboy: However, couldn't get bluetooth to work, don't intend to work on it anymore, use up whole day identifying it & i don't even own a C6F9 & there are just too many *.so files... Just copy & replace the files at /system/lib/modules/ then reboot & Wi-Fi will work...

Updates - 23 Oct 2015

Got AirDroid working on BBQLinux on my JOI with NextApp's SDFix so that copying files to extSdCard is possible, now managing your x3 on PC via Wi-Fi is a piece of cake... :cowboy:

My experience:

I flashed JOI system. Boot and others left from my clone. Added moudules from my clone (/system/lib/modules/) and assign them attributes 644.

As a result I have the firmware JOI. All works, except for the pseudo proximity sensor.
[Device Reviews and Information] yuweng:
Welcome to XDA & Thanks so much for sharing your experience here my friend... :good: Unfortunately, there aren't any DEVs looking into this SoC, so far i see only you & me & worse intel themselves doesn't encourage development, no reply from them & now they purposely remove FlsTool...

Been trying to port a working custom recoveries to our x3, the FlsTool just won't repack it back to the proper formatting, doesn't even repack stock 3e recovery, the only way it will repack is reverse LoadMap1 with LoadMap0 & obviously, it won't boot... :cowboy:

May be you can have a look at it & find the solutions to it or we'll have to wait for Lollipop update, Chuwi Vi7 LP, has only a single LoadMap instead of our x3, has three LoadMap, presumably, will be the same for our x3 when we get LP... :fingers-crossed: But then again, will have to look into this verity problem too as its affecting Chuwi vi7 too... :cowboy:
