hello lityen.

I'm sorry I've been unable to manage red all your post.

is the cable you bought from ebay works for the device ?

thanks mate
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lityen:
Hi sdpsby,

Yes the USB OTG cable from ebay works. It needs a few seconds to load the driver after plugging in the device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sdpsby:

For TJ_Style

Thx for your kernel,i was try it in my devices Spice mi700 last night and succes...

There are some things in this new kernel

CPU overclocked to 864Mhz and features of SWAP are already activated through this new kernel.

I was feeling before using this new kernel, when opening the application, was slow and when playing Angry Birds, feels slow when a lot of enemies.

after using this new kernel, NO application that was slow and Laging.

thanks for willing to share here

Sorry for my bad english

Hi,

I'm sory if this the wrong place to ask, but i'm desperately need help, there's so few resources out there regarding to this CSL MI700.

Accidentaly I cannot boot to my MI700, it stuck in the bootloader (I use adb to reboot-bootloader). After reboot it asking again for the usb driver for the tablet then STUCK. Can someone help me fix this stuck in the bootloader and upload for me the original usb driver and all the rest of files (adb, etc) that in the cd-rom created when you plug your device to pc.

Hi,

How fool of me, just press the reset hidden mini button on the below of the device and everything works now, well not everything. I have lost a lot of the in built application, phone capability, contacts program, filebrowser, browser, etc. Now I can't not do anything with it.

Do you think i have to re-flash the device?

Auto-FTM ???? HELP!!!

my kid tried too many times to unlock (the 9-dot pattern) and i was prompted with a screen asking for gmail & password, however after struggled through half an hour and to no avail, i started surfing the web for more helps.

Finally i landed on a page suggesting to press the power button while pressing the volume down button, i did it and it turned out to be even worse this time, the screen shows the message as below and i can't do anything now.

Pressing VolDown while power up brings up the following:

Enter FTM Mode...

SWVer=3.140

MODEL:FM6-0001

HWVer:103

Power on with pressing CAMERA and VOLUME_DOWN keys to leave Auto-FTM.

can someone out there help me to get out from this nightmare.....

hi,all experts, i am from indonesia and i am new to this csl mi700

i bought it a few days ago, then i start to feel not satisfied with the color display. it is written that this device support 16M color, but my device just show 65K display color..is there any way to make my mi700 to be able to show 16M display color?

in the spec i checked from this site: csl-mobile

note : please put the www(dot) in front of the csl-mobile and (dot)com behind it as i am not allowed to put link here...

it is written there that the display:

Color: 16M; 24 bits, 65K color depth by Android

OS..please help me.....i really want to make my mi700 be able to produce 16M color as promised...please help me...

thx in advance...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Have you tried the 1-Click Root method? Will try, but I think rooting the Mi300 will be slightly different than the Mi700. Just a hunch. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
Too bad Mi700 is using FRF91 because 1-Click does not support FRF91 and above :(

I tried adb... able to shell the Mi700 but when using adb root, shell does not open :rolleyes:

BTW, I'm a noob on android... just poking around using info from net... :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
How did you get ADB working? Mine does not detect any 'devices' at all. I can detect my other Android phone but not the Mi700.....???? What drivers did you use? Can you please check from your device manager? Mine is "Google Mass Storage USB Devic"e and the other is "Android SCSI CD-ROM V001 USB Device" when I plugged the device into my desktop.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
When you connect Mi700, a CDROM drive is created. Run the Setup.exe for the sync application. ADB interface is created automatically...

FYI, it works both on Windows7/32bits and Windows7/64bits :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Thanks. It works as you have said :) Now, to find some guidance on rooting this. So far, no developer has gotten back to me, though there was initially one promising one. Sad.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hucqim80:
Don,t worry...as soon as this thing release in europe and us..then there is help coming..some of the forumers at slatedroid have notice this thing and really interested..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reyman:
ya....i tried one-click method.....didnt work....!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
I think I have rooted Mi700... able to get root shell, superuser detects apps attempt for root access, ROM Manager does not complain about su not available, etc...

These are my steps...

1. Download and expand SuperOneClick v1.4 from thread 803682 here at xdadeveloper... sorry, I'm new and I don't have permission to put the url link here ;)

2. Replace the adb.exe from SuperOneClick with the adb.exe from the Mi700 CDROM.

3. Run SuperOneClick>Root... it will hang at some point as happen in my case.

4. Run it again... it should show the Mi700 is ROOTED.

5. Run adb shell... should come up with root shell by this time

6. Copy su from SuperOneClick... adb push su /system/bin

7. Change permission chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

That's all I did... As mentioned before, I'm NOOB with Android and Rooting. I take no responsibility if you brick your device!!!

Now... sifus out there... How to I backup the ROM?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Thanks a lot! :) Anyway, please reboot your device and see whether it is permanent :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
YES... via AnReboot, via power off and via reset switch... :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Install ROM Manager from Market (use Market Enabler to allow you to purchase the application), then backup everything :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
ROM Manager requires installation of ClockworkMod recovery bootloader... How to do that? Only 3 phones listed... :(

BTW, erlern... you may add me to your gtalk... 9w2bsr [at] gmail dot com. I'm in KL...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reyman:
OMG OMG OMG......AWESOME....!!!!!

I've also ROTTED my Mi300......brilliant....!!!!

I can run 'setcpu' on my phone......woohoooooo..........!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
Time for celebration? NOOB rooting works... he he he... :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Wait wait .... I can't seem to push the su file into the device.... what am I doing wrong? I run adb shell from command prompt, then write the commands but it says adb: not found

???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
run the adb push from windows command line... not in the shell...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Ok, no wonder... I did not enable rw permissions.

anyone have that problem where you get "read-only file system"...

type this from the command prompt:

adb shell mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

voila. push it and it works.

Thanks guys!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
erlern,

may be you post detailed step by step here or your blog...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reyman:
yeah.....make a proper step by step tutorial.....!! afterall....its like a very big achievement....isnt it...?? for guys like us....noobs....huh....??

I'm so damn happy....!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] reyman:
Please elaborate the part where you have to push the su file....

its also pretty much confusing....

plz step by step....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Okay guys, it is done. I have edited the first post with step by step instructions. Please check and see. :)

Anyway, I think we can flash Amon-Ra or Clockwork recovery images by either using telnet or we access it using "Recovery Mode" which I mentioned earlier.

We just put the .img as a update.zip and flash that in the stock recovery (power off, and then press both volume up and volume down together first, then press power on once). What you think? Can work?

Sorry, my set is CSL set which they loan to me ... takut :P
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
Erlern,

Elaborate the recovery image part... I don't know how... step by step please...

I want to try Move2SD but wants to make recovery image first before exploring further... :D

The Mi700 is mine but I don't want to brick it... :eek:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Hi, can we chat on gtalk or something? Very tired typing :P hahahaha.... my gmail is at erlern [at] gmail.

By the way, is it me or I notice that when I use SETCPU, the performance of the homescreen has been greatly improved. Is it just me? The live wallpaper especially (i'm using the water one) seems very smooth compared to before. Scrolling, everything, seems much better.

I think maybe the device was originally underclocked to save on battery? I'm going to do some benchmark tests.

thanks for the reply folks, your help is very much appreciated. I restart my computer and got the rooting done but now I am stuck at going to the adb director at the command prompt. Step by step instruction will be very much appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
Do you know how to set up ADB for your computer?

I would advice reading through the link that I put in the first post. That is essential reading. You must install Android SDK first on your computer.

Concerning your first problem, it was already stated in the steps that it would 'hang'. You needed to kill or close that window and restart the superoneclick program again. You did not have to restart your whole computer. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cwleong59:
Got stuck at step 5:-

5. Open a command prompt from windows, go to your adb director... usually, it will be c:/AndroidSDK/Android-Sdk-windows/tools

Do u mean searching for c:/AndroidSDK/Android-Sdk-windows/tools using command prompt or using windows to search for the folder.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cwleong59:
oopps, sorry erlern, I will read that post first and install SDK first.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
SDK not needed... just run setup from the Mi700 'cdrom' for ADB interface... adb.exe and the relevant files are part of SuperOneClick and are on that 'cdrom' as well...

also make sure 'Debug' is checked on the Mi700
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cwleong59:
ok, I have already run setup from the Mi700 'cdrom' for ADB interface. It is just double clicking on the setup exe but a synchronize window appear. Am I doing it right. Also how do I copy the su file to the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
Yes, correct... then follow the steps in page 1...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cwleong59:
I have already got the device rooted. It is just that I have not done step 5 &6 in the first page. Any advise how to proceed or what u are saying I dont need to copy the su file to the phone as they are automatic in the SuperOneClick process.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
To do 5 & 6, open windows command prompt (Start>Run>cmd<enter>... goto to where you expanded the SuperOneClick directory (cd ??????) ... type the commmand there...

On supported devices, SuperOneClick will do this automatically... in Mi700 we have to do it manually, until SuperOneClick developer update the apps...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cwleong59:
Thanks Abasir and Erlern for all your help, I think I have manage to complete Steps 5,6 & 7.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
Normal Reboot - same like power off and on again.

Recovery Reboot - bring up the recovery screen. Use VolUp/VolDown to choose option, press Power button to select.

Ohh..that for clockwork mod for our MI700..I'll upload it later as I'm use it for wifi tether..

thats why I haven't root it yet..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
If you can do that for us that would be useful indeed. Rebuilding from source is a bit too technical for me to attempt :) Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] abasir:
I believe what we are looking for is a bootloader that allows us to save/load working recovery/system images to/from sdcard (like ROM Manager). That way, if we try various software or mods and the system kaput, then we just go into bootloader mode and reflash the good image.

Like erlern, I haven't been compiling anything for ages... and I'm really old.... :D

p/s: Since the original recovery can load update.zip from sdcard, if we can 'compile' all the images into a proper format expected by update.zip that may be a solution. Update... would not work... update.zip only allows for simple updating... :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cwleong59:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] erlern:
It's ok, becoz overclocking comes with undervolting too... :) To even up. MSM7227 chips can be overclocked up to nearly 900Mhz from original 600Mhz. I think it can go as low as 112Mhz... but won't know until we get our first customized ROM first.

3) Custom ROM

4) Overclocking kernels
