How do you restore your imei (for information)?

Envoyé de mon Thor en utilisant Tapatalk
[Android General] timbernot:
I used to use 2 methods

1) was mtk droid tools which was not optimized for x64 bit devices at my last visit but maybe adapted now , by rooting , clicking root in droid tools and select NVRAM section - input numbers - hard reset !

2) engineer mode - cannot remember exact process but use to have to put " " either side of number

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIhz50C-ALA similar to this <-----

3) most mtks got a (CTR)carliv touch recovery which had a NVRAM back-up and restore facility in a modded CWM,.

-------------------------

So, when i flashed twrp and did my first stock back up , i then did a FULL back-up, ticked ALL boxes to back-up in TWRP , knowing NVRAM would be backed up and stored ALL the back-up on pc -- should anything go wrong and i lose imei -- I should be-able to restore NVRAM to stock which should usually restore imei usually, depending on TWRP being fully functional .

I have not tried to restore this method with this device to see if it works though !

And i would imagine , once flashed AOSP 7.1 -- back up as usual -- then , do a back-up of NVRAM seperately and that should (usually) be restored to that back up if problems , again- its been a long time since i last messed with MTK and this stuff may or may not work today !

twrp 3.0.2 by megthebest doesn't work for me

twrp 3.0.2 by AST works

Wow lol

You should NEVER flash preloader in Flashtools ! And never flash a custom rom in Flashtools - You ONLY EVER flash CUSTOM RECOVERY in Flashtools !

Never flashed a custom rom with FT bro...
[Android General] timbernot:
Argh yes just checked again

You flashed the preloader from someone else's modded stock Rom though ?

Edit

Ok I waited for answer but I need to go to sleep now.

If you did flash another preloader and replaced your own, that would explain the address query earlier. ;)

Now if the case , in order to flash the stock what you couldn't flash earlier ,will require to flash the preloader from the stock you couldn't flash , on its own then flash the rest of the Rom you couldnt flash after, with preloader unticked this time .

Then there is no guarantee your imei will be correct after .

So if you gambled with flashing preloader and you have imei , you may just have to put up with what you got now ;)
[Android General] pikas:
I have same problem.
[Android General] DerTeufel1980:
Seems like you already flashed both versions once, without breaking anything. Great :)

Would you mind, using the scatter file from working rom, but choose kernel (boot.img) of the not working one?

I guess it won't boot... Unfortunately... You then just can flash the boot.img of the working rom

I dont want to hog 7.1 AOSP thread so maybe we start again here . First, did your device come with lastest firmware ? eg , you never had an OTA ?

are you bricked now ?

if NOT what have you working, recovery, build ??

Ok, i see you logged out while i asked this question !

i take it you dont want my help.

i am just trying to determine whether you really have a clone(generic device) with different hardware and the latest build is a port (spoof) !

1) it would seem strange to change lcd and drivers if OTA`s were going to be kept maintained and the trouble to seperately update !

2) whether you flashed a preloader from a previous build etc since getting device , or used flashtools except just for flashing custom recovery !

tea-time ;)
[Android General] baerenbisch:
Yes, came with 2016-10-08. No, didnt make OTA.

Nearly. Device starts up but is not possible to handle. The touchscreen

is flipped-out, e.g. seems to be desoriented or so. Is sensitive but at wrong place.

I have complete readback from flashtool.

.

No, thats nonsense. Im really interested in help. Leave some days before the

device sent back to china.

This could be possible?? OK, the phone was VERY cheap ... 98€ incl. delivery...:confused:

Yes, used flashtools for readout and make a complete backup. But this works before I started with the 7.1 stuff

Thank you for patience!
[Android General] gerryg73:
cancelled
[Android General] timbernot:
[MENTION=5113130]baerenbisch[/MENTION] , so you have device now or sent back ?

have you tried to flash the first stock rom by megthebest?

That would be a great place to start if you still have device, then get OTAs if correct device ! without flashing preloader !

If it wont flash , you may have to flash preloader first, then rest of rom without preloader ticked but may lose imei -- but since you dont have anything at the mo , i can point you to getting imei back after

:)

same advice to [MENTION=4063751]gerryg73[/MENTION] , you did flash preloader so that wont matter
[Android General] timbernot:
"........... [MENTION=5448131]timbernot[/MENTION] you also have got a "new" Vernee Thor? If not please don't give advices............"

[MENTION=4063751]gerryg73[/MENTION]

It`s advice not advices and you are very ignorant !

What you are going through now i can fix in my sleep ;)

Just reading what mikx says here >

http://www.needrom.com/download/vernee-thor-stock-android-6/

;)
[Android General] baerenbisch:
Device still here, but only some days time left to send back

No, I wanted to make (and did) a complete backup with flashtools of the untoched device how it was delivered.

Megthebest did not work from the beginning on and never later.

So it is possible to make a stco-rom flash with TRWP? I did this later with flashtools.

Now i am only able to flash with flashtools because the tochscreen doesnt work proper.

OK, Im VERY interested ... but it IS BOOTING, major problem at the moment is inexistent possibility of dealing with the touchscreen...

USB connection

Hi all,

somehow I'm stuck with flashing TWRP. This is what I did:

Installed MTK drivers according to this tehnotone tutorial from the first post

started Flash Tool, loaded TWRP Scatter file and sected (by accident) the stock recovery image

connected the switched off Thor and flash went through fine

realized that I flashed the wrong file (android started without any problems)

started Flash Tool again, now with the right TWRP image

connected the phone but only the blue charging bar apeared, no connection to PC

I reinstalled the drivers, tried it with different PCs (Win 7 and 10), different USB ports and cables. I only get the blue charging bar...

Does anybody know what to do?

Cheers

tobala
[Android General] timbernot:
Hey bro, i never mentioned you:D , just the people who bricked their fones flashing preloader in the link - Number 1 rule of MTK devices since they surfaced .:cyclops:

Re - update ? working OK for you ? screen-shots ? :good:

2 questions

What date build were you on before flashing ?

Have you ever received OTAs ?
[Android General] gerryg73:
[MENTION=5534765]tobala[/MENTION] I think it's not important what build u had... and if u got OTAs...

try to put "with battery" in Flashtools connection-options...

then force-reboot phone when it's connected usb to pc

download of twrp should start... like it started before flashing stock recovery.

[MENTION=5448131]timbernot[/MENTION]

u said: the people who bricked their fones flashing preloader in the link

I am one of those who flashed also the preloader... my phone is working perfectly...

Re - update ? working OK for you ? screen-shots ?

the last aOTA appeared the 3.11. on Vernee site is 20160913 build... so older than 20161008... I updated back to 10.08.

Flash problems

Hello, Please can someone help me? On my Thor I have been trying to install TWRP using SMART Phone Flash Tool and I had problems getting the phone to boot in to TWRP and now it won't boot at all. I tried reselecting the MTK_AllinoneDA.BIN file. I can successfully install the recovery/scatter but if I select everything else I get BROM ERROR: S_FTHND_FILE_IS_NOT_LOADED_YET (0x138F). There is file not loaded yet. See attached picture!

Please how do I resolve it as my phone now does nothing!

Thank you for your help
[Android General] gerryg73:
From the png I see that you selected only system... To flash twrp u have to select recovery... If the phone doesn't boot... you will have to flash stock rom 160504

You will find the stock rom images in the web. Try to flash them using SPFlashTool. If you have a newer Thor there is less hope for success. I never got back to a real working device obvious I made complete backup image(s) from the new device before.

Now I am on a new BQ M5. Thank god it is Qualcomm ... :cool:

Need to set format on flashtool and restore our imei

Envoyé de mon Thor en utilisant Tapatalk
[Android General] megthebest:
Hi, Image is not relative to stock rom.. but TWRP.

You are making confusion about stock rom and custom recovery.

To put stock rom, use Firmware Upgrade option in flashtool that is automatically selected when you load scatter of the rom.

Rom is here:

STOCK ROM K06TD-A.A.vR18.N0.160504.rar:

---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 AM ----------

the image thing I did manage to do and it was a completely different task. I found the main block and I have successfully imaged it.

Now I just tried to restore the initial "stock" condition of the phone. And it looks like I should have just flashed the recovery partition? but I have flashed all and messed up....

I selected the scatter of this rom and firmware upgrade and it produced the same mistake as in the picture attached.
[Android General] megthebest:
you need to do like this screen with stock rom:

you did very bad work selecting all partitions when flashed TWRP, you had to leave as default, so only recovery partition for twrp:
[Android General] LafForce:
I panicked and I did not explain properly:

I flashed all with this STOCK rom, the same that you have linked and it leads to this DRAM error!

When I try to do it again it just says BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)... DRAM Failed!
[Android General] megthebest:
With your bad attempt, you overwrite preloader, that's the cause for brom error. You neer to try again with new flashtool version like 5.1644 and latest stock rom mod with OTA you can find some pages ago

I tried with th 5.1644 ver of sp tool and with the original rom because I found just this: full_k06td_a-ota-1473768531 latest rom with OTA. the tool does not accept the scatter file in this rom and this is a zip that should be flashed through TWRP or phones self upgrade... right

now I am stuck with: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (0xFC0)
[Android General] timbernot:
Can i ask what build date came with your phone ? And are you now bricked ?

2 Questions ?
[Android General] LafForce:
as for the build date of my phone- I don't know but the SN is : 2016081610739 (on the battery) so I guess its 2016-08-16?

The phone is bricked!

not responding to power or any other button

I found a list of fixes for the brom errors and actually formatted the phone.

When I plug it withOUT sp tool active on windows it makes sounds of connection and disconnection I guess and in the Device manager it shows a number of hidden android phones. On linux it does not show as a partition. When connected to a sp flash tool it shows error after the red bar.

I guess I need to restore imei (or preloader?) by finding the correct firmware for my exact phone?
[Android General] timbernot:
[MENTION=7463292]LafForce[/MENTION]

Ok you are aware of later devices with different hardware , supposedly 10/08 but whether yours is that i dont know.

You already flashed preloader earlier so you have nothing to lose now but try to flash 05/04 rom.

1)install scatter from the rom.

2) only flash preloader on its own (not recommended usually but since you already overwritten ) on its own remember .

Tell me if you get success with that then we carry on ;)

if you do get success with that , we should be-able to get it working again- if not , its the newer version
[Android General] LafForce:
[MENTION=5448131]timbernot[/MENTION]

no it did not worked

it still displayed the S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL error

(and is there anyplace under anyone fingertips to read on for the imei restoration process, by chance)
[Android General] timbernot:
show me a screen shot please

"""(and is there anyplace under anyone fingertips to read on for the imei restoration process, by chance)""""

[Android General] LafForce:
Oh dude! pls!

I did not realized you have responded because next page!

Pls
[Android General] timbernot:
Ok, looks like you did everything right there but obviously preloader didnt flash - Sometimes , you get error after attempting so many flashes

1 more question ? Did you ever get successful flash in flashtools previous , i mean the bar at the bottom went to yellow then purple but then still failed at the end ?

If you did then maybe you try format all and or firmware upgrade and download in the `download only ` drop down options box and flash all.

But - it does look like you have the dreaded newer or different firmware version !

Try that above first !

you do have auto detect battery in settings too ?

as for imei if successful > root working phone > engineer mode - cannot remember exact process but use to have to put " " either side of number

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIhz50C-ALA similar to this <-----
[Android General] LafForce:
I did get some successful attempts:

flashed the twrp partition only rooted etc. I might gor the recovery partition back but I can not remember clearly.

that was 2-3 weeks ago

yesterday I flashed all partitions (successfully I guess) with the stock rom and got bricked. since then nothing but yellow line and errors.

I have tried to format all and then download all from the stock rom but it did not work.

I will try just now and post results
[Android General] LafForce:
[MENTION=5448131]timbernot[/MENTION]

fuark - nothing

yes I do have autodetect and its checked whats this about?

So it is most probably the new software. That means? We still aint got rom for it?

thank you for the info on imei to
[Android General] timbernot:
Thanks , did you get a tick at the end ? thats a success and it was bricked ? . Is that this same build you had success with ?

Another thing , to try ;) delete the flash tools you have now from your PC and re-unpack /unzip from its folder again and install again , try a reboot too .

But yes , other than that you look like you could do with what a few a waiting on --> the newer version :eek:
[Android General] LafForce:
I don't really know if I got a tick. I just went through the yellow line and disconnected it. Then it did not respond anymore.

I have tried the 5.1628 ver (whit which I made all previous flashes) and 5.1644 ver today. I will delete the old one restart and unzip it again.

One more thing - is there any info on this new version? :rolleyes:
