Well i would retry the same build again that you got some sort of success with , retrying what we already discussed after new installation of flashtools each time .

People are waiting on something coming about for the new hardware version , if indeed it is new and not some kind of generic clone :eek:

This is from 7.1 AOSP developer DerTeufel1980,

ATTENTION! DON'T FLASH IF YOU BOUGHT DEVICE AFTER OCTOBER AND DEVICE ALREADY CAME WITH OCTOBER SOFTWARE PREINSTALLED!

Feel free to kindly request vernee to release the updated kernel source code: service@vernee.cc

[Android General] LafForce:
well I got it in September.

no success with this technique so far.

I got no idea what to do now :)
[Android General] timbernot:
You did install flashtools as admin by right-clicking ? and run as admin ? Sorry , gripping at straws now , its a shame you didnt get the build date when working or do a back-up in TWRP first !

just incase you flashtool is corrupt

http://www.mediafire.com/file/zs1qmlrwa934ra9/SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1604.00.000.zip

EDIT****** [MENTION=7463292]LafForce[/MENTION]

Also , try -- format option at top of flashtools ... 2nd box down --it comes with the bottom box filled in (format whole flash except bootloader)

change it to (format whole flash )

Then press the blue right angled triangle .

Then -- attempt the flash only preloader again mentioned earlier !

after , go back to format and put it back to original > (format whole flash except bootloader) before proceeding , Sucess now ?

Ps, i am searching for answers myself and contacting vernee - also attempt above without SD card inserted in phone !
[Android General] LafForce:
actually I have a TWRP backup of all device partitions but since the phone is bricked I can not use them can I?

and yes I do run flashtool as an admin.

the format all option gave the absolute same mistake

Thanks for you help! I appreciate it very much!

But does this makes any sense to you?:

"6. Error 4032 – BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail

Fix : Ensure that the files you are trying to flash are exact version of your phone model. If so, now try to formatting your phone but do not format the boot loader before flashing it. Sometimes, device that produce in 2014 also result this error code, solution is download preloader and move it to target_bin folder and rename or move checksum.ini from target_bin.

This would be the best solution for BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail, SP Flash Tool is unable to enable DRAM or communicate effectively with your device issue."

where are those folders and stuf I dont get this guy... I gues its ment for way advanced ppl
[Android General] timbernot:
I would ignore that info , probably based on x32 bit in 2014.

If Nothing worked so far i guess you just have to put it down to experience, wait until someone comes along with the correct firmware .
[Android General] timbernot:
[MENTION=7463292]LafForce[/MENTION]

While we wait for vernee to get back to us...

I just had a another read through your process.

Re connection and drivers which should be ok since you flashed twrp at the beginning . You should see the connection pop up in a com/lpt port and it should say something like (MT65XX...Preloader bla bla) and this should show between connection dings

Now I wonder , another long shot but here ya go..

Something corrupted or changed the driver since ?

So check again preloader drivers.

With being bought in Sept , again another head scratcher lol.

Could there be others with different hardware with Sept build ?. All very confusing.

Anyway ...we wait for vernee ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ now

Also , like to add ...with older version mtks , while the connection ding was going on..we had to play with vol+ or vol - while trying to flash . Again , I never flashed over a preloader or had to format all ..just I seen people needing to do this once flashed preloader with the incorrect preloader causing flashtools and phone to overload.

Good luck

[MENTION=7463292]LafForce[/MENTION]

1) flash THIS entire package (also preloader) with Flashtools... Phone will boot.

2) Once phone booted upgrade aOTA like written here

3) Upgrade fOTA from 1309 to 0810 build

4) Then flash this twrp with FT

tip: set "with battery" in Flashtools connection options

[Android General] LafForce:
Yes, I have reinstalled the drivers in between the disastrous flash and now by the method stated in the OP (some youtube vid...) but I just went through the same steps like before the successful flashes so I guess this is not of major importance.

The vol +,- does nothing now.

I can't imagine the way to chk if there are hardware changes... but today I have to get another thor for a relative and I will not even connect it to a computer, let alone flashing.... Thors are great machines for the price but it looks like real pain to play with.

Thank you so much!

just one thing? what is fOTA?
[Android General] gerryg73:
the difference between fOTA and aOTA is that:

1) aOTA is the file you have to download from vernee.cc by yourself and install like written in that page

2) fOTA (firmware over the air) is the update that your phone downloads and installs when you upgrade via menu (settings/about phone/firmware upgare)

glad to hear you solved the problem...

just ask if something goes wrong

2 days ago, suddenly fingerprint sensor stopped working for my Thor. The strange thing is that it works while charger is connected but when I disconnect the charger sensor stops vibrating at all when I approach it with my fingers! I took a backup and tried a factory reset, and it works ok after that! My problem is that I don't want to install everything from the beginning, because I use a lot of apps. Anyone faced this problem or knows the solution without factory resetting?

It did not happened right after installing some application. Just happened.

[Android General] Theos73:
I did what you proposed, offcial ROM was flashed again, but problem has not solved. Apart from this problem I discovered that no sound can be sound from built in speaker (just from headphones). I suspect something has changed from MTK engineering tools that cannot be undone through flashing ROM or an application that I have installed made these changes.

What does this chinese menu that reveals when booting up holding vol DOWN (not up like recovery)+power? I found that it does some tests and I think that after doing this the problems with fingerprint and sound started.

edit: forget the issue about the sound. I t was hardware related. I pressed the case and tightened some screws and sound came back.
[Android General] Theos73:
Fingerprint problems have completely solved with a factory reset. I also rooted the device, restored the backups of all my apps with Titanium Backup (except Mobileuncle Tools) and it works perfectly till now. So I guess it was either some odd setting from within the native Android's options or Mobileuncle's fault.

Flash TWRP fails

Hi

I tried several ways to flash TWRP on my Vernee Thor. But all failed.

The last thing I tried was flashing with ADB and Fastboot.

adb reboot bootloader

then

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.x.x-xxx.img

and then I get:

target reported max download size of 134217728 bytes
sending 'recovery' (14254 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.144s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: download for partition 'recovery' is not allowed

what can I do? What is wrong?

Fitting qi-Receiver to the Thor

Hello everyone,

just in case if anyone is interested:

I just received my qi receiver ( cheap one with charger from HK) and it works like a charm! I can't say anything about charging time (because I charge overnight) but it doesn't appear to be much slower than using cable.

Here is how it looks like:

https://postimg.org/gallery/309y9u0j8

I took the thing apart to save some thickness. I found out without the lead plate it doesn't really work so I am trying to find a diferent solution as this adds a lot of thickness. But nevertheless you just feel it slightly if you have the phone in your hand:good::good:

When I have more time I will try to solder it directly to the usb port to keep it accessible for data transer etc,

Vernee Thor, fastboot and OEM lock

I have Vernee Thor with OTA 6. I have tried to flash TWRP recovery without success. Now I tried to boot in TWRP with following procedure:

1. enabled USB debug

2. Enabled OEM unlock

3. gave "adb boot fastboot" -command in commandline

4. Phone booted in fastboot mode

5. gave command "fastboot boot recovery_TWRP.img"

6. image was downloaded to phone

but in commandline I get notification that "booting failed; remote: oem unlock is false"

So it seems that oem is still locked, even that I set it unlocked.

Maybe this is why I cannot flash TWRP recovery in first place?

Any ideas?
[Android General] basti_b24:
I was also not able to boot a certain image via fastboot.

You have to use : fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img
[Android General] putte_possu:
Is it possible to flash TWRP -recovery in fastboot? What I have read in this post, is that you can only do it with SP Flash Tool. Which didn't work with me. Flash tool says OK, but when I boot to recovery, I get only original recovery. I have used TWRP image meant for OTA 6 (20161008). That's why I tried temporary boot as I described above, but it doesn't work either.
[Android General] basti_b24:
I had to do it a couple of times until it worked. I use Linux by the way, so there is no flash tool
[Android General] MoritzMax:
I got it!

=> fastboot oem unlock as command to unlock the bootloader.

Then I was able to flash TWRP on my decive.

oh, I got the error like /d/data is not accessible or something. So I did a wipe and formated space inside TWRP.

Afterwards everything was simple - SuperSU and done

Repairing touchscreen

Hi guys, for the ones that found the touchscreen not so good, maybe i've found a solution. I founded on a russian forum 2 ways:

1st method:

on dialer * # * # 3646633 # * # *

so on Hardware ==> Touchscreen ==> Settings apply this values.

tpd_em_auto_time_interval - 10

tpd_em_pressure_threshold - 25

tpd_em_debounce_time -4

tpd_em_debounce_time0 - 5

tpd_em_debounce_time1 - 9

(seems that it works ultil the first reboot )

2nd method:

Edit build.prop with this

touch.pressure.scale=0.001 (or 0,1...depends of much u're delicate on the touch)

touch.pressure.calibration=amplitude

touch.size.calibration=geometric

touch.size.scale=100

Please try and tell me if you notice improvements.
[Android General] AndroidGX:
Thanks, I will try if it fixes my unlocking screen problem :good:

Because this bug is very annoying and my main issue for why I don't use the Vernee Thor as my main device today.

To sum-up: when sometimes (approx 1 times each 5), after unlocking screen (with schema code or anything else), screen become crazy and instable (it's like it clicks everywhere, action many things very fastly, etc, at the risk of losing data, maybe formatting the device if goes there, etc). I'm then obliged to turn off screen and turn it on again to avoid this bug, which is not very cool..

Someone else in the same case ?
