Do you mean it hasn't started flashing? If so, unplug the device and press the reset button on the bottom (don't hold it) with a pencil or other pointy object. Once the device has shut down plug it in and try again. You may also want to try closing the Flash Tool and reopening it as well.
[General Topics] EchoLux:
When I try to install the Mo_Tool from the provided files it keeps giving me this error message.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
Reset button ? where i have Q3E
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
It's the tiny hole to the left of the headphone jack. you'll need a pencil, toothpick, or similar item to actually press the button.
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Did you move the .exe file from the folder it was originally in?
[General Topics] EchoLux:
yes, it just keeps telling me that it cannot find QtNetwork4.dll, QtGui4.dll, zlibwapi.dll, and QtCore4.dll.
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
It's looking for the necessary files in the directory you put it in. Try putting the .exe file back in the folder it came in and then try flashing the device again.
[General Topics] EchoLux:
I did that and it is still giving me this one error mesage.
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Try redownloading Munk_3's .rar file and see if the app works without moving any files. If it doesn't work, I can send mine if you want.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
Do you have a video tutorial for install this firmware because I didn't understand the instructions of installation
[General Topics] EchoLux:
Yeah, I already did that so sending yours would be great, Thanks!
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
@fuzeblocks I personally haven't used Munk_3's system.img. I use NoahDomingues's version because I didn't have to format my device. it looks like you just edit the system.img file to contain the apps you want, replace Munk_3's system.img with yours, and the flash the device. Did you put the system.img in the correct folder, or move the MT6580_Android_scatter.txt file?

Also, sorry but I don't know any video tutorials.
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Here, try this:
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
No, I haven't moved anything because I don't know where to put them, hence my request for a better written tutorial.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
so if anyone can give me a better written tutorial I would be grateful
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
So you just tried to flash the system.img that came in the .rar file without changing anything? You might want to check the cable; not all USB-C cables can transfer data.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
I just did this Download: MoGuRomZhuShou.exe & Run

Select Preload APK

Select rom: (System.img)

Wait for finish loading.

Click add APK (Add all your apks)

Click Package to build your system.img

Open Directory of new image, & Rename to system.img
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Did you replace the old system.img? If not, copy the new one (the one you made) and paste it in the directory you got the original system.img from. It should ask if you want to replace it. If it doesn't and it just renames the new file, delete the old one and fix the new system.img's name (if it didn't replace, it should look like "system(1).img").

You may want to check if the device is connected to the computer as well. It doesn't look like it is from the first picture you sent. Just check to see if Q3E or Q5 is in the navigation pane. If it doesn't show up, you may just have a faulty cable.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
Ok but I have to put or system.img because I don't know where and the former. Also when I connect it to the computer it asks me This
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Try using the MTP mode instead of storage
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
Ok and where a i can find the old systeme.img ?
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
If you are talking about Munk_3's, then you can just redownload the .rar file. If you want the stock firmware, it looks like raza_2010 posted it here: https://xdaforums.com/attachments/q3e_flashing_all-needed-rar.6079341/
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
No,of the MP3 player. What is the path of the new system.img?
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
And what IS Munk_3 ???
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
Hey,i don't realy undestand your explanations so can you make a tutorial with a video or better explications ?THANKS
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Munk_3 is the guy who made the original custom firmware for the Q3E and Q5. As for the path of the new system.img, just find the one you extracted from the .rar file, delete it, and paste in the new one in the old one's directory.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
ooooh ok, one last question can you recap what I have to do thanks
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
So after customizing the system.img, you'll need to go to where it was created and rename it to system.img. Then delete the original system.img that you download from here and paste in the new one in the same folder. After that, when you flash the device, if the system.img is in the correct directory, you should see the flash tool begin flashing the device.

Let me know if that helped. :)
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
Ok so i just have to change the old system.img , in the folder "Firmware" by my custom system.img.

After that, i launch the flash tool,and i follow the steps with the guide in description.

That it ?

Thanks for all
[General Topics] yossi770:
i had the same issue. i ran the update MoGuUpdate.exe and it worked
[General Topics] yossi770:
which version did you use? can you send the one that you dont have to format the device for?
[General Topics] yossi770:
also is it possible to change the bootanimation? i dont see an option in the rom tool that munk_3 sent
[General Topics] Pangolinn_Ninja:
How did you get dev options?
[General Topics] yossi770:
does anybody have the issue of the device not playing audio on apple airpods pro 2nd gen? it connects but doesn't play any sound by me
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Yep, that's it!
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
Ok whait i will upload a video by myself
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
It's doesn't work ! look the video please
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
I use NoahDomingues's Mod V6. The Pulsar+ he included in it crashed every time I pressed and held on a song, so I found a different APK to use. If you want, I can send that too.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
You know for what ?
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
It looks like either the Timmkoo is set to only accept power, not data, or the computer is not recognizing it as a phone. If the Timmkoo is the problem, turn it on and plug it in. You should get a notification (see the first screenshot). click on it and make sure it is on the Media Device MTP setting (See the second screenshot. mine is already running custom firmware, so your settings menu may look different than mine.)

To check if the computer is recognizing the device, make sure that you see it pop up in the file explorer (see the third screenshot). If not, try a different device with the same cable. If it doesn't work, it probably a bad cable.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
ok, my computer recognize it then I shutdown it with the reset button and I continue as in the video?
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Yeah, other than the device not connecting, everything you did in the video looked right.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
ok, so what do I do
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
So you do see the device in the file explorer and the setting is set to MTP?
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
yes
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
in my explorer
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Sorry, but I don't know what else to do. Does it still show the charging animation when you flash it?
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
yes i have the charging animation
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
I'd ask either Munk_3 or NoahDomingues for help now. I don't know too much about this, but they're really good at it. Sorry I haven't been able to help much.
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
I can give a a Discord link if you want.
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
no worries just reply to this message when it is answered thanks
[General Topics] fuzeblocks:
yes i want please
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Here: https://discord.gg/FC5Yk6za

I've told them about it, so they should reply soon.
[General Topics] yossi770:
if i build the system.img with any other android kitchen, are there any specific things to make sure to build it as? because every time try it doesn't boot.

i want to change the bootanimation, and i cant do that in the attached rom editor.
[General Topics] EchoLux:
Alright, that still did not work and after some more research I have found that this is probably a problem with the computer itself. Thanks for your help though.
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
No problem! Sorry it didn't work.
[General Topics] EchoLux:
How do I install NoahDomingues's mod? I have the SP flash tool, but when I click download, it says I need to load a DA before execution. Since you already have that one downloaded and working, could you give me some sort of instruction on how to continue?
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Sure thing! It sounds like you just need to select a download agent. Press the "Choose" button next to the download agent and select the MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin file in the Flash Tool folder. Next, make sure that it is in Download Only mode. It should look something like the attached screenshot.

After that, press the reset button on the bottom of the device (don't hold it), press Download on the Flash Tool, and plug the device in. It should start flashing the new system.img.
[General Topics] EchoLux:
I am having the same problem that fuzeblocks is having, based on the video he put on the discord. Has anybody figured out what is going on with that?
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
No, not yet. Did you check the USB Connection settings?
[General Topics] EchoLux:
I installed MTK drivers and its working now!
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Awesome! I'll be sure to tell fuzeblocks.
[General Topics] EchoLux:
Actually he is the one that told me to install MTK drivers lol
[General Topics] EchoLux:
How do I install new apks on lithium os?
[General Topics] :
I think he's not finding the DA in Noah's folder.

You can use the DA from munk_3's folder.
[General Topics] :
BTW.

Thanks to munk_3 but I must admit.

I recommend Noah's .img - it's way better.

It has original settings, way more useful apps etc.

Check em out.
[General Topics] yossi770:
its in the flash tool folder not the firmware one. but it doesn't make a difference which DA he uses.
[General Topics] Pangolinn_Ninja:
I need help
[General Topics] 4dev:
What issues are you experiencing??
[General Topics] Pangolinn_Ninja:
It won't flash the q5
[General Topics] 4dev:
Could you be a bit more specific. Does it give an error message?
[General Topics] Pangolinn_Ninja:
The flashing program bar doesn't do anything and the q5 turns on and shows the battery and does nothing. After time, the program just times out.
[General Topics] 4dev:
You need to click the download button before you connect your device. Also you need to use the reset pin to power your device off before you connect. Stick a something into the reset pin (the end of a paper clip works good). The reset pin is located between the aux port and the charging port. Also make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your pc.
[General Topics] Pangolinn_Ninja:
Which Drivers, and how do i know when the drivers are installed?
[General Topics] 4dev:
Here is a link https://mtkusbdriver.com/mtk-usb-driver-v1-0-8/
[General Topics] yossi770:
are there any other rom tools we can use?
[General Topics] Pangolinn_Ninja:
My device flashed but shows blue lines???
[General Topics] DannySolo:
I have the Q3E, the software version that doesn't even do Google search. I've flashed a fair few devices before so I should be OK there, but is there a list of compatible APKs anywhere? Or are there more premade system.img files somewhere besides the ones on the first page here?

Thanks!
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
Some APKs that worked for me are:

John NES Lite

John SNES Lite

My Boy

Pulsar and Pulsar+

Yestube

YMusic

Vanced

Notepad++

Foobar2000

MP3Gain

Star Music Tag Editor

Reversi

I downloaded most of these from Uptodown. The NES and SNES Emulators came from Munk.3's system.img. If you want, I can link my system.img or a .zip file with the APKs.
[General Topics] DannySolo:
It runs a SNES emulator? That's super, though I hate playing old games on a touchscreen. I know this might sound ridiculous but is there any app that would allow a phone call over WiFi? Viber or Skype maybe could be installed?
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
I don't think Viber or Skype will work, but an older version of Whatsapp might. https://whatsapp-messenger.en.uptodown.com/android

For the SNES emulator, I was able to pair a Bluetooth controller and use that.
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
Hey, Munk.3. I have watched your work on this mp3/Android player, and I gotta say, I'm impressed. now, I have a timmkoo Q3E mp3 player, and I"ve flashed it to get opera mini (working with downloads and wifi) John Gba lite (also working) and the apex launcher. Somehow, I've managed to do all of this with a 14 year old computer (help me), and I'm also trying to get dev options on it. Anyways, I'm trying to find a way to find the original unedited image/ROM/ whatever for this. I would like this to play Minecraft/ just any apk lol. I'll give you any updates if I find anything. Wish me luck. SEE YA!
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
I could give it a shot (maybe)
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
Yeah! I'd be willing to try it
[General Topics] :
You can use @NoahDomingues Img.

It's somewhere on page 4
[General Topics] DannySolo:
Thanks! Maybe WhatsApp will install but can it work as a second instance with the phone being the primary? I know that works on the PC.

This little thing even accepts BT gamepads! Amazing, why did they cripple it so much in the first place, it has so much to offer for the price.
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
Hey all, I need some help. I'm seeing if I can fast-boot/ preform stream install/ anything to do with Linux but Linux is saying its offline, and the cord I'm using can transfer files well, so what's wrong? I've tried to kill the server, start it back up, but nothing works. EDIT: I'm also doing all of this on a chromebook... but that still shouldn't be a problem. (I hope)

[General Topics] 0xfffe:
i have a q3e and access to very little resources (very rare internet opportunities, no computer at all)

but i found some interesting stuff but need help continuing

on timkoo:

first open any book, long press on word, click more, customize, change dict 1 to other installed apps(any app will do)

on moonreader files go to fsroot ("/"), new folder, write "data/data/com.flyersoft.moonreaderp"

this will put u in its private folder

find the shared_pref/dict.intent0 file

edit the first 2 lines to

com.mediatek.engineermode

com.mediatek.engineermode.EngineerMode

(copy the file somewhere else, edit using computer, go back to moonreader, select the edited file, copy(dont paste yet), /, new folder etc, paste)

now try to open the dictionary, it should start engineer mode

scroll right to log&debug, click mtk logger

click the settings at top righr corner

click run command

so i can run commands as shell, what do i do next

ps. "settings put global install_non_market_apps 1" will alow apks, but they wont install anyway
[General Topics] 0xfffe:
pps i probably wont reply to anything for a while
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
Hey! thanks I'll give an update for anything I can do with this, I mean you could maybe try and use a flash boot tool? like cwm or something similar, this could be a big step! EDIT: wheres the "settings put global install_non_market_apps 1" EDIT 2: I got that to work but it says problem parsing package so Im wandering if I can find the missing packages and reinstall them? I'll keep y'all posted
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
also, sorry for commenting so much but there are ways to root the device with things like SHUAME or something, and that could be a big deal, I've pretty much given up on the whole Linux Chromebook thing. the only thing it with ever say with the adb device IS: offline. so I'm done with that. I'll keep going through with other things though. i'll see If I can get roms for other mt6582 CPU phones or devices lol. anything at this point
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
Welp I've done almost anything I can think of. MTK client, downloading defualt roms onto it, nothings worked (I bricked the device so I have to un-brick it lol)

Hi,

I just managed to get my Q5 into bootloader. I just peloaded boot animations v3.0.1.0 on the app I clicked reboot and it gave me the options to do a regular reboot, go into bootloader or go into recovery so I clicked bootloader and it work. Didn't try any commands or anything yet.

I attached the apk that I used.

UPDATE: fastboot recognizes my q5 just make sure you have the correct drivers install. Should pop up in windows update, did by me.
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
SICK! can you boot anything onto it?
[General Topics] davefelzyis15:
I am kind of new with android what do you mean can I boot anything onto it?
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
Tbh I don't really know lol you could try getting custom roms for devices with the exact same specs like This
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
Also worth mentioning that they have a discord invite link on one of these pages about a new lithium os Noah d. Is working on
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
This
[General Topics] Cyber-Flasher:
I don't have my mp3 player right now, but if you do try it out, let me know how the flashing goes! EDIT: if it says anything about turning on adb on the recovery thing do that, then connect through computer and install the ROM using adb. If it doesn't work, use your old system.img and such to get it working again ANOTHER EDIT: all custom roms are in zip. Don't extract it just install it like is
[General Topics] HrisPL:
the program stands and does not start, help
[General Topics] Small_ed:
Make sure the device is off, and you have it plugged in, It will start as soon as it recognizes that a device with that chipset is plugged in.

get a paper clip or something and press the reset button on the bottom, then plug it in immediately
[General Topics] HrisPL:
the reset button didn't help. still not detect my Q5
[General Topics] Small_ed:
try a different cable then..

a cable that works is the one that came with the device
[General Topics] HrisPL:
original cable + reset + USB connection = message: device not recognized. after a few seconds the phone is charging. Do you have any other ideas? :/
[General Topics] Small_ed:
Make sure you have a good scatter file, because it will not recognize it without it
[General Topics] HrisPL:
the file is complete, unmodified. gives up.

Make sure you have the correct drivers installed

hello guys, figured out apk installs

rough outline of what i did

not sure if all these instructions are necessary, but thats what i did

1. start mtklogger(instructions in a previous post)

2. cp path/file.apk data/app/file.apk

3. chmod 777 data/app/file.apk

4. cat data/system/packages.xml>sdcard/file

5. edit that file, what i did was copy and paste one of the shorter <package>...</package>, and edit the package name and path, and lib path

6. rm data/system/packages.xml

7. rm data/system/packages.list

8. cp sdcard/file(the file u edited in step 5) data/system/packages.xml

9. chmod 777 data/system/packages.xml

10. reboot

instructions are probay not very accurate, might have missed smth or have a few typos

pls use ur brain and common sense

[General Topics] DannySolo:
So same process as before except I swap Noah's system.img into the Firmware folder? Thanks, I will try that. Strange to make a system.img build without even a browser. It is OK for Q3E (which is what I have)?

That's a pity then if I can't add my own APKs without fixing that program, but I feel like this device is about to be fully hacked soon anyway. Great progress everybody.
[General Topics] Small_ed:
yup
[General Topics] Munk.3:
No Apk installations are not directly available. you would have to flash it with the system.img. Im working on two things as stated in my thread.

1) either trying to port a rom

or

2) Trying to get direct working installations of apks

as of right now choice 1 is my main priority.

"I've just set up the system, and everything seems to be fine for now. The WiFi wasn't visible in the settings when I used Q3E, but now it's showing, and it's working well. Thanks. I'm eagerly awaiting the APK installation. I'm ready for any assistance."

[General Topics] Epicoolegito:

Apkmirror

Some site don't wok on timmkoo. You must use PC. (Which you have to anyway)
[General Topics] AzureStriker14:
How safe is this? Also, the .rar file I downloaded said Q3, not Q3E. Is this just a typo?
