I will keep looking for the update.zip. will tell if I find something that works. so far no luck with the recovery for me. still stuck at the recovery screen...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fran77:
Phone start normally, but don´t work superuser because I modified some files and now root don´t work and I can´t repair this files. I can make call. And recovery it´s ok, if you know how to extract them tell me and I upload the file.

A short story

Hello people,

I am so glad to see a thread about the H6 mobile ( chinavasion . com/smartphones/m1713genb/ ). I just brought it 4 days ago, and I have already almost bricked it.

Let me give you a pair of resources:

Official chinese forum where you can find a lot of information:

products .mobileuncle .com /forum-232-1.html

Thread in a Russian forum where you can find a lot of information too:

forum . china-iphone. ru/ viewtopic .php?f=22&t=7579

If you want root, use `SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse´. You will find it easily in XDA-DEV.

There are two ways to flash the smartphone:

1) With a "usb"-serie2jack cable. Manual here ->

dl . dropbox . com/u/7186726/MTK%E6%99%BA%E8%83%BD%E6%89%8B%E6%9C%BA%E5%AE%89%E5%8D%93%E7%B3%BB%E7%BB%9F%E5%88%B7%E6%9C%BA%E6%95%99%E7%A8%8B.doc. The ROM of the 2.2.1 is here: dl. dropbox. com /u/7186726/20101224_e1000_klx2%282%29.rar

. As you are seeing, this a hard way.

2) With a recovery update signed file. This ROM is the last one, and the only one that starts to do something... but it doesn't works too (if you want to try... yourself) ->

dl. dropbox .com /u/7186726/20101224%20%28h6_22_update%29%20signed.zip

. I have other versions, but without TV, radio, etc.

Well. I tried edit my boot.img inserting a initlog.rle, and the phone died. Now, I am searching a GOOD update.zip signed to recover my system. I have found, download and test a lottt of resources, but nothing works. I have created, signed, and a lot more, but it is impossible. It gives me always the same error: "Installation aborted" without nothing more.

Has anybody recover anything???? Do anybody know how to recover my boot.img (maybe I need the system.img too)???

I cannot access by the adb anymore. (I cannot access to the factory mode too)

Well, anyway, thank you a lot. I will try to help you if I find any question about this model, but I only had it 4 days...... :(

Maybe you can do a cat to the /dev/mtd/mtd5 and restore it..... or maybe you break it even more.

Good luck!!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fat_fat:
do you have the Serial Cable?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SergioArcos:
Hey,

I have sent some mails to get this cable, but I am not sure they will be answered. Do you know where buy it? I want one...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:
fran77

This is how you can extract your recovery.img

within a 'adb shell' do the following:

cat proc/mtd

you should get something like this

dev: size erasesize name

mtd0: 00020000 00020000 "preloader"

mtd1: 00300000 00020000 "nvram"

mtd2: 00020000 00020000 "seccnfg"

mtd3: 00060000 00020000 "uboot"

mtd4: 00400000 00020000 "boot"

mtd5: 00400000 00020000 "recovery"

mtd6: 00120000 00020000 "secstatic"

mtd7: 00060000 00020000 "misc"

mtd8: 0a000000 00020000 "system"

mtd9: 03c00000 00020000 "cache"

mtd10: 00300000 00020000 "logo"

mtd11: 000a0000 00020000 "expdb"

mtd12: 11340000 00020000 "userdata"

look which mtd is the recovery (in my case its mtd5)

then type accordingly to the mtd number

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/mtd5.img

I got how to from here

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...es-boot-recovery-and-system-partition-images/

could you post the file you get?

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:
SergioArcos

Thanks for your recovery. did not work though, it gives me another white screen when I enter the recovery...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fat_fat:
HMM.. well. you can try to make one..

i got mine from this supplier in china.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SergioArcos:
What supplier? Can you paste a link?

And yes, I saw how to do it manually, but I think it is too hard for me :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmstein:
I have H6 with android 2.1.

Recovery: megaupload: DXC1BMEO (I cant post links)

ROM: megaupload: NDTK10L6

1. Root your phone (Universal Androot)

2. install a terminal emulator

3. copy recovery and ROM to SD card (root directory)

4. run terminal

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

5. power-off the phone

6. hold the VOL + when power-on the phone

7. choose the third item (see the words ROM and Zip)

8. choose file h6public3.zip

9. confirm (press menu button 2 times)

10. reset (2nd item from bottom)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmstein:
If you need enter in Factory Mode:

hold the VOL - when power-on the phone

There is an option to Clear Flash (You will lost all your files - clean android)

I also have a similar model (Hero H2000 iphone clone) but it has Android 2.2 froyo. Same chipset tho (MTK 6516). I tried using a cpu overclocker after rooting but i dont think it worked. (i set it to the highest number (1.6 GHZ) but phone was still working). Would u guys tell me how/why it didn't work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmstein:
h6public3.zip dont have some apps, like google calendar

Here are a lot of apps to H6: www . megaupload.com/?d=9Y4FHKK0

well, i got it from a supplier where my company buys phones.

but you can get it from taobao though..

i am not sure if you are gonna be able to communicate with the sellers easy...

what region of the world are you in?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SergioArcos:
Spain. I sent a mail to them... I am waiting to see if they can reply me in english.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fran77:
Hi buddy, I try to do this post but I can´t put the new recovery because terminal didn´t work on my phone and with adb I can´t enter with adb shell.

I try to rename h6public3.zip to update.zip and use it with the original recovery, but didn´t work too.

My only solution is find the original firmware in update.zip format to fix my phone.

If someone have it or found it please tell me.

Thanks a lot
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmstein:
ok.

You can try MTK Android mobile kit, from http: // products. mobileuncle . com/forum-232-1. h t m l

http : // www . megaupload . com/?d=Q3JSD425

This tool requires you to ROOT first.

With this tool you can:

- Enter in the engineering mode

- flash recovery from sdcard

- reboot into Recovery Mode

- reboot phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fran77:
Thanks cmstein, It`s an amaizing software, but didn`t work for me because when I root the phone it`s fine and system say ok, but if i open root explorer it´s say I`m not rooted.

I try with this program, but when I flash recovery from SD I select file but nothing happend.

I will still find the way to flash from windows.

Thanks a lot
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cmstein:
after flash recovery from SD (is very quick) you need:

5. power-off the phone

6. hold the VOL + when power-on the phone

7. choose the third item (see the words ROM and Zip)

8. choose file h6public3.zip

9. confirm (press menu button 2 times)

10. reset (2nd item from bottom)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fran77:
Sorry I don't explain good.

When apply flash recovery from SD option nothing happend.

When reboot the phone in recovery mode it start in the original recovery mode with the 4 option and apply update.zip like first option.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:

Well your posted recovery works! sort of ;)

the recovery is in chinese! so: if anyone tries here is a translation of the menus attached

Install Android 2.2 Froyo on Hero H6

How do i install froyo on this phone? I do not have a "Check for Updates" option when i look at the "About phone" menu.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SergioArcos:
1) Get permanent root (use `SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse´)

2) Upload and put a new recovery in your phone

3) Do throught the recovery an update of the system

It can be done without a usb-serial...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bkm7925:
Do you have the recovery for Froyo

Do you know where i can find the recovery so i can update to froyo?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SergioArcos:
I cannot to say a link with a 100% of trust. Search in the links that I pasted before.... the chinese and the russian forum.

Make sure to do a backup of your recovery with a `cat´.

If you aren't sure, better don't try it... It's a ****, yes, but I bricked my phone trying it with the boot partition :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:
Beware:

The mentioned chinese recovery does not let me access the device with adb anymore. flashed a non working rom (what else? ;) so now i will have to copy other update.zips to the SD card by using a micro SD card adapter.

Question: do I have to do a wipe of my device prior to applying an update so an update works?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SergioArcos:
do not FORMAT your smartphone... or you will lose the IMEI.

You asked about wipe. Well, I do not know, but I think that it does not matter.

If you see the META-INF/........../script-updater , you will see what your update does. It usually wipes your partitions... so ... :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:
Nice! right, wipes it all ;) good to know, cheers!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:
OK!

I finally managed to update my H6 with Android 2.1 to ... Android 2.1 lol

G-Sensor, Compass finally works

But I am still looking for an update to 2.2 so I can finally use my two SIM Card slots....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bkm7925:

Clockworkmod recovery

Did anybody try to install the clockworkmod recovery image on this phone? How did it go?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:
to my knowlegde there is no clockworkmod for the h6.

you need a rom that is made specifically for your phone (with the right hardware driver in it). flashing a rom for another device will not work. how do i know? guess what i did ;-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Moronig:
Curse my impatience, I should have waited. I overwrote the original firmware image too, with the clockworkmod recovery. It still starts up fine, and goes to factory mode ok, but hangs on recovery. Now to try to fine the original image, or one that isn't in chinese...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Moronig:
On a completely unrelated note, does everybody's phone report 207.66 MHz/bogoMips for CPU speed? I bought it thinking it should be 460 Mhz. What gives?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:
Welcome :-)

Did exactly the same, now i am on a chinese recovery and got android 2.1 on it (again) from the h6update3.zip. it is actually better than the original in some way, because finally screen orientation and compass works and it does not contain some annoying bloatware. it is missing calender and email app though, which you can install afterwards (if you have the .apk's). the keyboard still can write in chinese (and english). feels a bit faster too. (wishful thinking, there must be something good after all this hassel, haha)

happy hunting! let me know when you succed in finding an update to 2.2 :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:
no worries: thats what mine says as well
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Moronig:
Actually my phone came with 2.2.1, though it is a Star A3000, not the H6. I wanted the recovery mode to install some stuff like gingerbread keyboard from update.zip. On my phone screen orientation works ok, but not the compass. I'm not sure it has the sensor for the compass. Do you know if I try to downgrade to 2.1 and it doesn't work I can still get to recovery mode?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ottovonschrotto:
the recovery mode basically lets you install different roms (update.zip's). if you install a rom that does not work from recovery mode, no more android system but recovery should still work. So, if you run an update.zip from recovery mode the recovery is not changed, but you might kill your android system

If you try to install a different Rom with Rom Manager (from the market), it will first flash your recovery and replace your original recovery and then install a new rom. if the recovery does not work, it will never install the new rom and your 'old' system will still live. hopefully

is this where you are stuck? if yes, you can try to install a different recovery image via adb (familiar with this?)

also: if you have a phone with 2 sims working it will not work with android 2.1. thats the main reason i want to upgrade, to have two sims...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Moronig:
Recovered the recovery image!

I have found an english version of the recovery image for the A3000 on the mobileuncle site. I followed the instructions on page 6 to install, i.e.:

1. Root your phone (Universal Androot) - Mine was already rooted using Z4Root

2. install a terminal emulator - I used connectBot, works for local and ssh/telnet

3. copy recovery and ROM to SD card (root directory)

4. run terminal

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

5. reboot the phone

The thread from mobileuncle is "Resistive A3000 MTK Android2.2 Recovery0.9.1 English Version"

I believe it would probably work on the H6, it's worth a try anyway.

Here is the file:

One question: how did you download from myuncle? I never managed to even when logged in, how do the download links work?

Has anyone tried this on the H6 model?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] moskimio:
Hi,

I have the H6 with the 2.2 casing but the 2.1 is installed on the phone, can somebody please tell me where I can download the "official" Chinese H6 ROM for this phone so I can use it as it should be used, dual sim etc.

I have seen so many people running around trying to find out how but to me it seems like a friggin trade secret or something, I have tried out the update.zip in many forms, rooted, flashed, everything fails, is there not a simplistic answer/Firmware where one click and all done and we can all get on with our lives?

Ok, I might have exhagerated slightly with the "1 click" but jesus, I thought that if you had something good, it was good to share but so many going round in circles it seems everyone is trapped on a roundabout in london right behind the grizwalds!!!!

If you have a 2.2 system and can do a copy of your rom, please, help us out, we're all goin nuts!!!

I am saying t

his because I have had enough with these Android phones, I updated my acer liquid and now it's friggin useless cos it's got a SIM Network Lock on it, I mean, WTH????? I bought it brand new UNLOCKED and now it's a brick, a 340 quid brick!! (if anyone can help me there also, it's a Liquid S100).

cmstein,

Thank you for the post The steps actually made sense when I was doing the update. I am not sure I could have navigated the Chinese with out the steps. I have the WiFi working to secured AP now (before it would only connect to un-secured AP's).

Have not tried the second sim (I suspect it has to be 2.2).

They are selling H6 now with Dual Sim support running 2.2.1 maybe there will be a H6public4 out there some day??????
