[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derik123derik123:
Alright, so I was recently sent the Sprint Airave...

I'm currently using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935275 <--rom and when I have the airave plugged in it forces 1x. and then sometimes(im guessing) pulls off normal cell towers to get my normal 0-1 bar of 3g..

If I flash a sense rom it switches between full bars of 3g and full bars of 1x...

While in the sense rom I updated my prl and network settings... flashed the latest radio, PRI, and NV... Then I flashed back to the gb rom from above... and it does the same as before..

any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Same thing happened to me. I ended up ditching it.

I think it's a problem with the airaves.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derik123derik123:
That sucks... its forcing 1x for my friends pixie. It goes from full bars of 1x and full bars of 3g, but 3g goes from godly slow to godly fast...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Yeah I would call them and see if there's an update for the airaves to address this issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimbdd:
mine works fine and doesn't do this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babyschmoof:
Sprint sent out an update to all airaves devices two days ago. They told me it should be resolved today by 10. It took most of them offline. They recommend keeping them unplugged until 10.

They are on a roll.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
BS, thanks for the update. For the last 2 days my airave has been offline. I did the sprint chat last night. They never mentioned any firmware updates being sent to the device, but did do some kind of provisioning refresh. Told me to leave it unplugged for an hr and try again. Let it unplugged over night and as off about 6 hrs ago, it's still not working. All lights solid, but *99 says im not connected.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
Just spoke with airave support. Appears their firmware update went belly up and they're still recovering from the issues it caused. Service should be up sometime later tonight (the tech gave a 6-8 hr window).

Hello!

Good links. I tried to read the all 18 pages translated by google, but the translation is not very good.

Could you speak russian?

Must I have such a cable to adjust the IMEI after updating?

On my A3000 version (dual sim android 2.2) the GPS is not working and the other forum explains that this could be solved by a new firmware version...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ggennady:
I speak russian.

those ROM has two problems: GPS Doens't work and Market application defective.

Flashing this ROM might be a huge mistake (IMHO)

Let's wait and see

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PIYIRIO:
The A3000 i recently bought has no GPS chip in it, the battery does not charge, and the resistive touchscreen has a large dead spot on it. It seems there are several hundred versions of the A3000 and I doubt the ROMs from one will work on the other because the hardware varies so much.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fabio84:
i have buy this model A3000. Arrive today. The firmware version is

Hi i'm new of the forum and this is the first time i've to Flash so many files ! xD Could someone help me ?

xD

I've bought this phone and this is the only post i found talking about the rom of the phone !

Could someone link me a guide ?

Which program i have to use to backup the whole ?

I've downloaded universal androot but still i've not acces to recovery mode bootstrap !

I Suppose i've to use SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject to flash gps_DA.bin and MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin right ?

how can i backup those ?

.... So ... =D i'm a little noob ! the only firmware i've flahed are the one of my graphic cards and the one of my DVD-Writer !

So i need a little help :)

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
Hi!

To root the phone use z4root (permanent root. temporary root doesn't work!). Also install TitaniumBackup and backup all applications from phone (WARNING! It is NOT full backup!)

There are good thread at russian forum for flashing this phone, ROMs for it and related problems/bugs. -- http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9519&start=760

If you do not understand Russian and translate.google.com cannot help you, I may provide some essential information from there soon.

First of all, perform full backup of your phone! Otherwise you can lost IMEIs after reflashing OR restoring to initial settings.

For FULL backup of your phone use this manual -- http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?uid=76043&f=31&t=11788&start=0 See text under "Сливаем прошивку" spoiler there.

Backup also content of /nvram forder from phone.

I also recommend you perform backup of all files from phone using tar utility.

Tar you can get there -- http://groomws.info/index.php?title=AndroidNativeBinaries

Copy tar binary to sd-card.

Commands for tar backup:

su
cat /mnt/sdcard/tar > /data/tar
chmod 0755 /data/tar
/data/tar -cvpf "/mnt/sdcard/rootfs.tar" --same-permissions --same-owner --verify --exclude="/mnt/sdcard/" --exclude="/sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake" -C "/" "./"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
Ok !

thank you so much !

No i don't speak russian either chinese !

I'll try in an hour !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 0Supermaster0:
@darthtony

Plase use the "Tanks" button next time!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
Sorry,

but i've not understood :(

i need of two different cable?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
No. You will need stock cable from phone's kit only.

And what step(s) exactly do you not understand?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
i had understood that to flash my phone i need this cable :

item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=8591547110

And i'm searching one !

SP update can't find the com port with the standard cable !

So i'm stucked !

Another thing ! i made the backup with YAFF2 ! it was the only thing i've to do , wasn't it ?

i've also backuped the nvram directory !

Isn't there a way to make the backup with SP update ?

for the rest i hope it is simple !

I install the modem driver when i plug the phone to the PC, then using "SP update" i set the port and the speed , i set the file MT6516_Android_scatter.txt from the rom zip

and if it works ... it works ! xD

another question : would this resolve the GPS problem ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
No! For flashing your phone you DO NOT need flashing cable! "Flashing" cable are used for restoring IMEIs if you did not backup /nvram directory from your phone.

For flashing your phone you can use attached bundle of software and instructions. -- http://us.ua/199217/

This manual explain recovery.img flashing process. For full flashing -- select all .img files from ROM archive (except preloader.img, if it exists).

Archived .DOС-file is in russian, but instructions, contained in it, are simple, so you can use translate.google.com for translation.

If you cannot understand some steps, ask here.

There are also needed modem drivers in this archive. Power off phone, then connect it (powered OFF!) to the computer via usual USB cable. MTK USB modem device will appear FOR 5 SECONDS. After this timeout it will disappear.

You should manually locate folder with this driver in "New Hardware Found" wizard in these 5 seconds and install this driver. Otherwise SP Flash Tool will not found your phone.

Specifying a COM-port number in SP Tool is NOT needed, this program will find phone automatically.

In newest batches of A3000 phones GPS chip is physically absent.

You can check it presence in Factory mode.

Power off phone. Press one of side volume buttons (check each of it, I do not remember exactly) and power button. "Factory mode" text will appear. Then you can go to the underlying menu - GPS test. If you will get "-8" test result -- there is no GPS chip in your phone. If test will pass -- there are no hardware problems with GPS in your phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
I made the test and it failed !

But if i open google navigator it shows my position !

Also installing another 2 navigator it founds my position ! So i thought that it was a software problem !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
Disconnect from WiFi and Bluetooth, pull out both SIM cards and launch your navigation software again.

If it will show your location correctly, it is GPS. Otherwise base-station-based location were used.

You can also use GpsTest software from Android Market.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
I disconnected from everything but i forgot that i've only google maps navigator in this time so i've put on WI-fi connection to download the map and then i'm gone where the Wi-fi signal is off !

It indicates my right position !

I've a home wi-fi to connect pc between floors ....

It is enough ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
You should turn off all wireless interfaces completely (turn off, not just disconnect from any network): Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GSM and reboot phone.

Otherwise you may see cached position or location will be based on visible Wi-Fi network names/MAC-addresses (just visible to device, connection to them is not mandatory).

If you get "-8" error in Factory mode, you definitely have hardware problem.

Check physically presence of GPS antenna -- open phone's back cover (as you you do it usually to replace the SIM cards) and see to the dark hole over the flashlight LEDs. Or check it's content with wooden toothpick.

There should be GPS antenna. If there is free space, you have NO hardware GPS.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
Empty ! :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
i begin to make the procedure but when i click options it says "NO COM PORT DETECTED"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
COM port will appear in the system for the 5 SECONDS, when you will connect regular USB cable to the SWITCHED OFF phone (with inserted battery). Or when you will insert battery to the phone (regular USB cable should be connected to the phone at this time already) and shortly press power button on the top of the phone.

So press "start flashing" (I do not remember it's real label at this time) button and perform one of these actions.

Are you really need to change something in the Options menu? ;-)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
I've done as you said but it gave me this error :

And i'm pretty sure that the phone is COM7
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
First of all, uncheck checkboxes for PRELOADER (it cannot be flashed via regular USB cable and you do not need it's updating) and all __NODL_ sections (you do not have images fot they, and names __NODownLoad_ indicates this fact).

Сoncerning Com-port problem, try to disable all modem devices in Hardware Manager, except for phone's modem.

If program will not open com-port with correct number (COM7 in your case), problem may be in operating system (Tested on WinXP SP3, but you have Win7). Try to grant explicitly Administrator permissions to program.

If it will not help, I will perform needed actions step-by-step on my computer and we will locate problem together, but this will took some time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
i'll try later !
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
Ok !

I've done ....

I gave Admin permission to the program and used WINDOWS XP sp3 compatibility mode !

now i've a bigger problem ! the phone say "invalid IMEI " for both IMEI .. i'm watching my backup of NVRam and it is empty !

Can i restore with yaff ?

there is a way to have the keyboard without chinese language on it ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
i've searched for this 2 hours (there is the 4:16 AM :'( ) how to reset my original IMEI and i failed also using METAexecutable from the post you linked me !

I thought i've the YAFFS2 backup of nvram ! couldn't this is be useful to be flashed with SPflash ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
If you do not have experience with compiling programs on C language, I can generate nvram-file for you. Just provide your IMEIs for me.

Otherwise view this thread -- http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=11788&p=291562#p291562

Root your phone, install TitaniumBackup and remove application with Chinese characters in the it's name. Chinee keyboard will gone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
Ok ! New problem :D

i know i'm becoming a thorn in the ass xD

But i think everyone who try this could have these problems !

I've flashed this rom :

dza300020110215

... and now the problem is that the Camera doesn't work !

When i go in the Factory mode and i test it ... the screen become black and it stay in this status ! i can't quit this status in both Factory mode and normal mode !

Some solution ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
It is a known problem, it can be solved.

You need to configure camera model in the firmware configuration before firmware flashing.

I'm sorry for Russial link, but at this time I have no time for translation. http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9519

See spoilers with screenshots in first post there.

To download attachments you need to register there.

Sometimes mentoined Russian forum is down ((. Just try some time later.

If you will not be able to traslate or download files from there, inform me. I will do it for you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darthtony:
Ok i've really tried to understand how to proceed but i didn't succeed !

When you are confortable if you explain what i've to do i will be thankful !

i've undertsood i've to install the drivers and the update but there's no explanation to how install those !

and also think that i've to install a new Update because in that page there's an old ROM , and ..... i don't understand a word of russian so i can't translate 49 pages searching the new one when google translate translat from the russian to the italian something similar to ...

"make the phone wooden and throw away the battery " :D

I know that for a noob it could be a solution .... but i don't believe it ! xD
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] barilika:
I have flashed mobileuncle recovery on my Star A3000 and have some problems. When i try a Nand Backup i have this Error:"Run nandroid-mobile.sh" via adb. Anybody know how to fix it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
This recovery does not have working NAND backup feature. Use these commands in ADB console instead. Root and inserted SD card with ~1 Gbyte of free space are needed.

su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/backup/
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd0
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd1 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd1
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd2 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd2

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd4 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd4
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd5
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd6 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd6
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd7 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd7
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd8 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd8
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd9 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd9
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd10 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd10
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd11 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd11
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd12 of=/mnt/sdcard/backup/mtd12

cat /proc/mtd > /mnt/sdcard/backup/names.txt
cat /proc/mtd

After typing "su" command root permissions request may appear on phone's screen. Confirm it.

Last command will show info of each partition name and it's number.

Based on this info you can restore your images to the phone using SP Flash tool utility. But DO NOT restore "preloader" image -- it is useless action!

Or try this recovery. http://us.ua/195552/ It may contain working NAND backup function.

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

I also recommend you to create full copy of phone's filesystem content.

Get TAR utility from here -- http://groomws.info/index.php?title=AndroidNativeBinaries

Unpack it from archive, if needed.

Copy unpacked "tar" file to the root of SD card (~600Mbytes of free space willl be needed).

In ADB console type

su
cat /mnt/sdcard/tar > /data/tar
chmod 0755 /data/tar
/data/tar -cvpf "/mnt/sdcard/rootfs.tar" --same-permissions --same-owner --verify --exclude="/mnt/sdcard/" --exclude="/sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake" -C "/" "./"

Last command execution may freeze as some moment (text is not scrolling and NO "#" prompt at the beginning of last line). It that case, unlock phone's screen and touch it. Command execution will proceed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
What tool did you use for flashing firmware? SP_Update_L1104_V3.2.4 from firmware's archive or something else? If SP_Update_L1104_V3.2.4 then see to this screenshot -- http://forum.china-iphone.ru/download/file.php?id=14775&mode=view

Russian red texts are

"Select back camera" "Select front camera"
"Select display model"

If you are using some another tool, then I need to be adviced by my more experienced friends (this will take some time to answer).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
You should flash phone via SP_Update_L1048_V3.1.1 program. To restore TV and camera functioning, select camera model in SP_Update_L1048_V3.1.1 program BEFORE STARTING FLASHING PROCESS.

For first time, select ov2655yuv model, then start flashing. If camera will not work, repeat procedure with another model from list selected.

Program:

http://www.us.ua/147345/

http://depositfiles.com/files/fcwva6bys

http://letitbit.net/download/76196.7694b2ca4d53ccb24ef31b479a78/SP_Update_L1048_V3.1.1.rar.html

Video-instructions. Full flashing process performed (and for similar, but not your, phone model). See only part with camera model selection.

http://www.us.ua/147347/

http://letitbit.net/download/97531.917a0f26740ad6eccd0c0649a2b3/proshivka_H6.rar.html

==============================

1) Create or buy flashing cable, connect it to the phone.

2) Run SP_Update_L1048_V3.1.1 program, select com-port of you flashing cable. (you may select just all ports), select scatter-file from firmware folder

3) Click "unlock" button in program and select drivers for camera (camera model). If phone's screen works with this firmware -- do not change display model selection.

4) Disconnect and connect phone's battery, click "start all" ( com-port icon will be blue), press power-on button on phone and red status bar will appear (flashing process was started). After red statusbar completion, blue one will appear.

5) Just after blue status bar completion (100%) quickly change flashing cable to the regular (from phone's kit) one.

6) If yellow status bar will appear -- all is OK.

Wait for yellow status bar completion. com-port icon will be green.

Flashing complete.

6a) If yellow status bar will not appear (big delay during cables changing, stock cable failure, etc... ) start flashing process from the beginning.

And see video-instruction mentioned.

Hello z8080.

Unfortunately I did a factory reset on the A3000 and now it no longer recognizes both IMEI. It seems I have to perform the procedures above, is not it? I have some doubts, can you help me?

- These procedures are for all A3000 manufactured? (Unfortunately too, It seems that there are dozens of them)

- You say in item 1: Create or buy flashing cable and connect it to the phone. My question is: How to create or where to buy it?

- I clicked on the video link but what comes is an executable file. i didn't understand. So I was scared and i not ran it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hlopeslima:
Another question. Isn't there some command that i could put on PC (using the USB cable) to restore my A3000? Can we use ADB program to fix the A3000? If yes, how to do this ? My god, excuse me for so much questions. thats because it seems that i lost a phone...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] z8080:
I respect your security concerns. I'm sorry for very short description for this file -- it should be self-extracting archive. I did not check it personally, it was prepared by another guys. But I trust them. Anyway, recheck this file by anti-virus software.

And this file is NOT needed by you, if you have your camera and TV working. Check them now!

If they works, just send me (via PM) both your IMEIs and I will send generated IMEI-file and instructions to you.
