Do you use a HT 17 in LA?

I'm going over there next month and none of my phones work's with T-Mobile. HT 17 Pro. HT 20, Verne Thor.

Probably just have to buy a cheap phone over there and a cashcard.

No, you can flash older ROM and then OTA update to latest.

[Device Reviews and Information] Napfgeist:
I have found that in R04 the automatic switching between WiFi and Mobile data is not working proberly.

With the app Wi-Fi Matic - Auto WiFi On Off from GS Systems Ltd on Playstore it is much better.

So, the app does switch off / on WiFi automatically and the HT17 PRO goes on Mobile data.

Im my case, HT17 PRO with Firmware Rel R04, only Whatsapp messages are waking up the screen.

I installed the app Light Manager Pro from MC Koo and get now at least from all apps the LED notification.

However only from Whatsapp the screen pop up is working.

ht17 no gps

I bought ht17, with R03 version. did OTA update until the last (R08) and in all, didn't get GPS working. anyone with this problem? solution?
[Device Reviews and Information] Homtommyuser:
No. They have been a right pain trying to resolve it. It's so on and off! But you ask them a question and all they tell you " thank you for the question but please download the latest firmware"

I just think they have a cheap chipset inside that doesn't actually work properly. It's a pain I know even with Google maps with poor internet connection whilst driving, it just goes wild when you don't want it to, not just for Pokemon go, lol.

I have R07 and noticed R08 out but it just fixes minor bugs, I thought it wasn't worth the hassle unrooting and updating then rooting again until a proper update comes out. Does anyone know what the "Minor bug fix" fixes, I guess not the GPS.
[Device Reviews and Information] xogul:
Thank you Homtommyuser.

R08 didn't correct the GPS problem and don't know what "minor bug fix" fixed, also. what HT17 needs is a major bug fix.

regarding GPS, I found a russian thread about it, it seems theres a fix but didn't have the time to try it yet. it seems is related with disabled EPO (default setting) for countries outside China. (don't know if I can link to the other site, or translations of it to english, which is what I'm reading). it doesn't envolve software, just configuration through "engineering menu". it could be helpful to someone who understands this... not me, for sure.

Hi everyone :)

Today I just received my HT17 in GOLD colour (HT17, not pro). Before that, I had a BLACK version, which I updated to R06 without any issue, and I could also easily flash TWRP to root it, no problem at all.

However, the GOLD version seems to be a completely DIFFERENT story....

I tried to flash TWRP specially made for R06 version of factory ROM, but it did not work, phone was rebooting and not entering TWRP. So I flashed both recovery.img AND boot.img files to the GOLD HT17, and it started entering a bootloop! So I decided to flash the complete Factory R06 rom to the GOLD HT17, and... it seems factory uses a different LCD driver on the GOLD version, as after I pressed Power ON, it didn't display correcty at all, there were vertical lines instead of normal display pictures...

Obviously, Factory is using on the GOLD version a new LCD supplier / driver / part and the factory ROMS they provide (R04 to R06) do NOT work after flash. I don't know what to do, now... I don't have the Factory ROM for this phone, I don't have the correct LK.BIN file of this GOLD HT17, which could at least "save" the LCD, and of course no TWRP...

I wish someone here, with the GOLD HT17, could dump his phone's ROM and post it on Google Drive or MEGA.

EDIT: Finally, after HOURS digging the web, I found the solution by myself! New GOLD (and maybe all NEW HT17) need to be flashed with the newest factory ROM V09, available here for download https://yadi.sk/d/zTFapdqJvqQsz

Any help is welcome, really!

Cheers.

For HT17 (not Pro)

I did a bit of research on this and tried it. One thing you do need is too root the phone. Then download ES explorer with root permission, Google play search for mtk engineering ( I downloaded the one with a black square CPU logo with mtk written on it) then to google play search for GPS test. That's the main setup. When I did this last night I noticed I couldn't find one file to rename, so I continued to the next part. Plus if you goto Settings} location then change how it picks it's signal to just GPS only to get a true signal. Seems better but where I live I use to only pick up 5 satellites now I pick up 7/8. You kight get better.

I followed these instructions http://vondroid.com/threads/gps-fix-for-chinese-smartphones-without-epo-and-agps.23995/

It seemed to work ok

I also have been searching and reading. a lot...

copy of a post from user max2281337 in 4PDA forum (google translation):

as I could not understand everything on the translation, I keep searching on the HT17 usefull topics and found this for MTK6589 chipset (I know it's not the same on HT17). copy of a post from user zzhel in the same forum (google translation):

the code for the engineering menu didn't work on my HT17, but I used another android code I found on internet, for GPS Test. tested it as described, with limited time and on a window. I finally got some satellites (on GPS Test app, some yellow and others green). went outside, and 10 of the 11 turned green.

Hi Guys, Root Method for R05 HT17 Pro with later LCD... firstly, recommend IMEI backup as it is not so easy to restore the IMEI on this phone...

It is a bit of a round about method, but it works...

1. Flash R04 HT17 Pro ROM via SP tools (R05 may also work this way)

2. Using the same R04 scatter, replace, IK, Boot, Logo, Recovery, Serco, System from the HT17 R09 Rom and flash again (may not need all of these - but worked first time with this process)

3. Again, using same scatter, flash only recovery Twrp_3.0.2_HT17_by_Jemmini (made for HT17 R08)

4. Boot to recovery - select mod

5. Repeat step 2, this time replacing IK, Boot, Logo, Serco, System from R05 HT17 Pro Rom

Bingo! Root HT17 Pro on R05 with later LCD =)

The LCD was upgraded in the HT17 & Pro, if you are on R04 out of the box, you will have the later LCD (I think R07+ for the HT17).

(HT17 not pro)

Hello everyone.

Can someone tell me what the latest update for the non pro ht17 is now. I have the R08 version and then I rooted then I couldn't be bothered to redo everything for the little update R09, so if there's a bigger update or improvement can you let me know.

Plus I noticed someone on here has put a different ROM on there HT17 which seems to be alot better then the stock ROM. First off can the Ht17 have a new ROM and if so , can someone explain how to do it, I am currently rooted on R08? Many thanks in advance.

Another thing, some apps say that I'm not fully rooted or not rooted at all? But SuperSU is installed and working, but what's the deal as I rooted it through the computer and not wireless I.e king root etc

Homtom HT17 Pro: Endless boot after latest update

I'm not quite sure, but I think I had R5 running, the latest stock ROM without any changes or rooting.

Today I was presented some 12MB file with "minor bugfixes" (and I am always eager to get some better GPS performance;).

But installing broke my phone completely. It seems like rebooting in a loop. Every 3-4 seconds the "HOMTOM" logo appears and disappears again after 2 secs.

"Volume up" + "Power" gets me to an android logo with "kein Befehl" (=no command).

I already got R5 from google drive, but how to install via ADB when I don't get into recovery(?) mode?

Normally I don't flash my phones wuth custom ROMs, so my knowledge is somehow restricted.

Any help would be appreceated.
[Device Reviews and Information] N10A:
I've just been offered the same OTA update. I guess I won't update, thanks for the heads up.

I suppose you can try and use SP flash tool to flash the previous ROM version.

https://androidmtk.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool

(By the way, to unlock the recovery menu, just press and hold power then press volume + and release both buttons immediately at the 'no command' screen).
[Device Reviews and Information] pvrrr:
Just for completeness, could you please post the name of the update. Might help to file an error report to homtom.

I don't believe, that every phone will experience the error, since *some* testing should have been done, I might guess.

Releasing power and volume + keeps me in the "no command" screen.

I found other suggested solutions for different phones, pressing volume + and - at the same time, but still this doesn't work for me. BTW, just holding "volume +" (without power) during the "constant reboot phase" gets me to "no command", too.

Thanks for SP flash tool tip. I will have a look. Still, any hint how to get into recovery would be cool. I don't use Windows anymore, so SP tool is some effort...
[Device Reviews and Information] N10A:
Version number: HomTom-HT17Pro-Android_6.0-R06-20161110

Size: 12.97MB

I don't think you can flash a ROM through ADB. And unfortunately this phone does not have a fastboot mode (that I could find).

I think I might give up to my curiosity and install the update anyway sometimes today, lol
[Device Reviews and Information] pvrrr:
Ok, so, there is also a linux version of SP flash tool. :)

Not sure, if I am still in the right forum for this, but since it's the HT17 Pro scatter file, maybe... ;)

Now I get "The load scatter file is invalid!". Grrr...

File attached.
[Device Reviews and Information] N10A:
The OTA update worked for me.

I had similar problems (on Windows) with scatter files when I was using an old SP flash tool version. Maybe that could be the cause.

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

By the way, did you try a factory reset?

This is how to ahow the menu when 'no command' appears: https://support.google.com/android-one/answer/6086030?hl=en

It worked for me, it should work for you as well as we have the same phone & ROM.
[Device Reviews and Information] ilyadan:
I dared this update as I have stock unrooted phone with almost nothing installed. Got the flashing Homtop logo. I was able to get to recovery by waiting a bit in the "no command" screen and then holding again the power button and pressing volume up button.

Did format cache and user data (factory reset) in recovery. But the problem was not gone. Will continue to solve it tomorrow...
