Hi,

Very strange ...

Have you try after full backup a factory reset, to see what happen ?

ps. Your pictures cannot be viewed like that, you need to put link between "URL" tag

i.e: [ U R L = "http:// i n t e r n e t - a d r e s s " ] number/name [ / U R L ] -- (without "spaces")

[Device Reviews and Information] Iceterix:
made a full backup to the factory settings, did not help
[Device Reviews and Information] luattic:
Maybe i'm not been clear, i would say a factory reset like reinstalling stock rom with spflashtool, english isn't my native language, sometimes i can't find right words or sentence's structure ^^

Try this, reinstall R09 rom and don't forget to backup your important data, all your phone will be erased and totally reset.

You can find lot of tutorials over internet to do this, if you need software to make it, just read this, in rootpack you can find HT17Pro drivers for Win and spflash to load the R09 firmware who is can be found on official website of HomTom.

does xposed work in your debloated rom? like cleopatra rom
[Device Reviews and Information] luattic:
I haven't deodex this rom, so, exposed must not work on it ...
[Device Reviews and Information] OT-Xtreme:
is there a chance you will make v2 of your extremely rom but based on cleopatra81 zip version? (stock r09 xposed framework fixed)

or like v1 (based on homtom zip)

but with xposed working

it will be great i hope yoy can tnx
[Device Reviews and Information] luattic:
Hi,

I've tried to deodex R09 but without success, result come with lot of constraints and non working functionalities. Project left to better than me.

In the other side, [MENTION=985164]cleopatra[/MENTION]81 has solved xposed problem, so, use his modded rom and to debloat it, you can try SDmaid or Titanium backup to delete component that not needed. You can use package disabler to freeze app for testing (after a while) if it's ok to safely delete or not.

I could just get his rom and debloat it before zipping it but i think this will not respecting [MENTION=985164]cleopatra[/MENTION]81 work, and i'm not like that.

Helllo, I have a strange problem when trying to flash new rom. Whatever I try in sp flash tool, nothing seems to have any effect. Using download option results in 'pmt changed' error, so I tried using 'format all + download' but then, even though the progress bar showed the rom was flashed properly nothing changed.

I even tried doing just format to see if that removes the firmware, but it just doesn't work (the system is still there and boots up, even though flash tools showed successful formatting).

What could be causing that?

el homtom ht17 tiene el bootloader bloqueado o desbloqueado?
[Device Reviews and Information] luattic:
hi, you can unlock it within developer option menu.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Yeah, it's a great phone for the money. I root it mostly to lower DPI and install AdAway. For next update when comes out, you will need to clean flash whole R07 ROM with flashtool and then OTA update and Root again from the start. Since simple update won't work on rooted phone. ;)

Please try a beta3

I don't have device in hand ,so........

The firmware update process is done entirely at your own risk.

Firmware updates may occasionally have bad results,

like bricking your device, temporarily or permanently.

Please do not update firmware unless you know what you are doing.

Back up your data before attempting to update the firmware.

Just tried your beta3 and same problem : flash ok but reboot on android robot.

Thanks anyway.
[Device Reviews and Information] Homtommyuser:
I did a newbie thing yesterday after rooting and got an app that can do an swap file, but what I clicked on what I thought was the SD card it was infact the system file partition. Whoops. Lucky enough I thought about it and earlier I downloaded the RO6 version and flashed the system file. Lucky enough the phone worked, but RO6 version. I can't upgrade to RO7 coz of root still installed and I can't backup on SD card coz of write permissions on 6.

So without wiping imei data can I reinstall the whole of 6 and lose root which is fine and then I will upgrade to 7 and then reroot.

If so which tick boxes do I take off to not to lose IMEI.

Or shall I just wait for the RO7 ROM to come out then just install the system files over like I did with 6.

It has actually taught me a lot.

I actually really need the write access to the SD card.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Load scatter file of R06 and leave all boxes checked. PIck "Firmware Upgrade" in FlashTool before flashing, that way you won't lose IMEI.
[Device Reviews and Information] Homtommyuser:
Thank you. Is the firmware upgrade in the drop down menu? Or a different .exe file?

Plus do I have to do the same thing like the download sequence. I.e battery out, click download, put USB cable in and wait for it to finish, then unplug USB, put battery back in and load up as normal?
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Yes, select "Firmware Upgrade" in drop down menu, select scatter, and hit Download, then connect turned OFF phone, no need taking out battery, just connect it, program will start flashing...
[Device Reviews and Information] Homtommyuser:
awesome, just done it and all working, downloading RO7 now and then i'll reroot.

I have appreciated all the help that you have given me and maybe others!

i don't want to sound rude, but do you ever or have you frameworked the Homtom Ht17 or do you know if its easy to do?? i know the HT17 is ARM64v8, but thats from an app? is it possible or is it worth it?

specially now these days that a lot of programs wont work because of Root but heard if you have xlpode framework installed you can download an app to hide root?
[Device Reviews and Information] :
No problem :), i didn't do it on HT17, i just use it as second phone... but HT17 is much better than other Doogee or HomTom phones i was testing before, almost daily driver material.
[Device Reviews and Information] chtikern:
Hello everybody.

I am asking for help.

Trying different TWRP versions on my HT17 pro, the smartphone became unstable with wifi issues.

So I decided to flash back the whole stock firmware, whithout backing up my nvram of course...!!!

So now I have the logical invalid imei and nvram wifi error issues.

Would anybody share his HT17 pro nvram backup please ? So that I could flash it on my phone. I would then change the IMEIs to mine of course, no worries.

I noticed a wifi issue on my HT17 pro. Even when wifi is off, when phone is unlocked, wifi is automatically switched on. Is there any new option to disable in marshmallow or is it a real bug ?

Thank you.

Regards.
[Device Reviews and Information] kilabitzzz:
I have the HT7 and was very pleased with it so bought a HT17Pro as really did need the extra Ram to work at it's best.

I had the bug on my HT17 where the wifi kept turning itself back on. Upgraded to R06 and that fixed it.

I now find that my new HT17Pro has the same bug. But no upgrade is available to fix it. If Homtom fixed it in the HT17 why can they not quickly release a fix for the HT17Pro as surely it must be the same setting to fix as already done on the non Pro.
[Device Reviews and Information] bovivas:
Try to rename the file "HT17_Pro_twrp_beta3.img" in "recovery.img"
[Device Reviews and Information] mplevris:
You have to activate "system ui tuner" on settings (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zTFmwdbOCFY) and open settings /system ui tuner/quick settings and take away the flight mode icon .Then you are going to be ok with the wifi problem
[Device Reviews and Information] TheTaZe:
So... after trying to root the device. I was unsuccessful in doing so because everytime I would flash the device it would get stuck in a bootloop. After that I accidentally cleared the eMMC and it deleted all my data. After that I tried to flash it but it would give me errors upon doing it. After I looked it up someone told me to format it which it did. So now I'm stuck with this error S_DL_GET_DRAM_SETTING_FAIL and my device won't even power up anymore. Basically I'm sick and tired or messing with this since everytime I tried to root it would get stuck in a boot loop and never get into recovery.

I need help!!

Hello friends from Spain !! just bought a Homtom HT17 PRO and discharging the battery fully, the battery does not charge .. charge LED lights, the display says "loading", detect the charger, but the battery does not raise the percentage (%). .. I left it charging all night, and has only risen to 12%, but when you switch has been 9% ... can be battery problem?

the phone is quite fast .. a pity that I could only use it until the battery ran out who brought ..

Can someone tell me to do ?? You can check that the battery is in poor condition?

the charger is in good condition, I tried to carry the charger for my old HT7 and does not work ...

I'm a little desperate, I do not know what else .... thanks!

There is a problem with the installation of twrp Homtom ht 17

Hello guys.

There is a problem with the installation of twrp(using beta 1)

After purchasing the phone upgraded to R07.

Further, according to the instructions threw recovery via sp flash tool, after clamping of the buttons PWR &+, nothing happens, goes to reboot.

Then I tried to r03-r06 also update the recovery.

Then I flashed R02 method Download+ format.

The display is not working, so I can not control the situation.

Again updated to R06 via Format. Then I began to restore nvram.

Now when you log in to stock recovery depicted a dead robot with a red exclamation mark.

Please help.

also I couldn't throw through fastboot(actually could not) and adb(SU law does not define) the flow recovery.

Recovery beta 3 sayd : pmt changed for the rom it must be downloaded/

I don't know what to do

Hello guys,

have someone tried to root this device? How to do that?

My HT17 Pro just arrived and it seems there is no program so far, that can handle rooting a device with such new chipset.
[Device Reviews and Information] Homtommyuser:
Hi.

I do not have the Pro just the lower version with 1GB Ram and 8GB of ROM, yours on Pro is doubled 2GB Ram and 16gb ROM, I think correctly?

Not Pro version:

I was able to root mine with some great help on pages 1-3.

Pro Version:

There is a someone who is trying there hardest to do the Pro version whilst we speak..so please be patient. I think they are on beta3 a few posts back and I think it still needs tweaking.

I wish I could help more.
[Device Reviews and Information] z3rG07:
Hi,

that's correct - Pro has doubled RAM and 16 GB ROM. Chipset is the same for both. But reading comments in the Internet I learned that non-PRO has 1.1 GHz chipset frequency, and PRO has 1.3 GHz. Can someone confirm that?

I keep my fingers crossed for succesfull rooting soon.
[Device Reviews and Information] :
They clocked CPU to 1.25GHz in latest R07 update for HT17, it came with 1.1GHz but now its noticeably faster.
[Device Reviews and Information] chtikern:
Hello everybody.

I have build a TWRP version for HT17Pro which seems to work properly and allow to root the device flashing supersu.zip.

I am uploading it at the moment on my google drive and it will be available in a few minutes.

But as a recent member, I am not allowed to post any link for the moment.

Anyway feel free to send me a personnal message to get the link.

Hope it will work for everybody and of course I am not reponsible etc...

Flash with SP flash tool, tick only recovery and select TWRP_HT17Pro.img and press download.

Regards.
[Device Reviews and Information] Adryanoss:
Everything works THANK YOU SO MUCH
[Device Reviews and Information] z3rG07:
Just to all let you know, it seems it is another differnce than doubled RAM and ROM capacity - Antutu says that my HT17 Pro device is clocked with 1.3 GHz.

[Device Reviews and Information] moonspell556:
guys, except for flashing via sp flash tool is still a working method to root?
[Device Reviews and Information] hirofs996:
I have HT17pro.

That's indicated with MT6737M in SP Flash Tool.

It was checked in Device Info.

Its clock frequency was 1092000kHz.

I think approximately 1.1 GHz.

The build number is as follows.

HOMTOM-HT17PRO-Android_6.0-R02-20160802

Hi guys,

after R03 update my Homtom HT17 Pro is stuck at Homtom logotype when starting. Neither method helped nor factory reset. Maybe because the device was encrypted...

Can someone upload (or post it here) the R02 flashable ROM?
[Device Reviews and Information] jan177:
He has no solution just states:

I have almost normally updated. After reporting that will update and now the phone will reboot, the phone just switched on.

Do you have it rooted?

As I see it you only downloaded update? or started to install?

If I were you I would like to return to ROM by factory reset or flash new ROM if available

It is not the first time that Homtom produces such troublesome updates

I am a new owner of HT17 PRO and just Updated to R03 via OTA . Great job you make as reading previous posts :good:

For the moment , I think more prudent to stay unrooted to avoid update problems . My level is not sufficent presently .

Otherwise , I found this info that may be useful for hard MTK screeners :

[Device Reviews and Information] :
I rooted every firmware so far very easily, using R08 now also rooted. Just flash this TWRP with this FlashTools. Load scatter file, pick "Download Only" option, make sure only recovery option is checked, and flash it.

To get in TWRP just hold volume + while powering on until recovery boots, then flash SuperSU.

That's the problem i have, You can downgrade to earlier firmwares, but i think i had that problem from the start, since R03.. :rolleyes:

The recovery i get is one that if i try to install supersu.zip it gives me invalid OTA package

My scater file reads only the recovery.img, so i dont need to uncheck the other, i have a lenovo k4 , and i ve already flashed that phone lots of time,

1 º I open the spflash and load the scater file, i ve read here to uncheck all except recovery, but when i open the scatter file the recovery image is the only checked.

2 º I press the download and insert the battery, the flash turn red and yellow while flashing ending on completed with success,.

3 º I unplug the phone and press power and volume up.

It ends always with the green man with the exclamation signal with no command.

Sorry for my bad english but is the best i know
[Device Reviews and Information] :
Ok, then you are doing everything right, but i don't know why it wont boot to TWRP. Try holding power + vol up longer maybe.. :confused:

Or try flashing complete new R08 firmware.. and then after that try to flash TWRP from the start..
