[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HarryTheSatman:
Hi,

With me the same. Still the proud owner of a HTC Universal. I need a "Dual SIM Standby" and came across this chinese vendor. Here are the specs:

-Dual sim card dual standy

-CPU: Huawei Hisilicon K3533, 533MHz,could updated to 600MHz;

-2G ROM+2G bits RAM;

-Windows mobile system 6.5 and Android 2.2(Optional)

-GSM EDGE 850/900/1800/1900

-Support TF card up to 16GB;

-5.0M pixels wtih double cameras;

-WLAN/WI-FI 802.11b/g; *GPS Navigation;

-Support G-Sensor function;

-Support Microsoft Office word/excel/powerpoint etc and email;

-Support IM:MSN,SKYPE,facebook,twitter,OICQ,QQ etc;

-4.3inch WQVGA Touch screen,65,000colors,400x800 pixels;

-Connection:Bluetooth 2.0,WI-FI,EDGE,Active Sync and USB2.0;

-JAVA 2.0, GPRS class 10 and WAP2.0;

-Video Format:3GP,MP4,AVI,ASF,WMV,RM ect;

-Music Format:MP3,WMA,WAV,AMR,ect;

-Photo Format:Jpg,gif,png,BMP,Flash ect;

-Ringtone Format:MP3,WMA,AMR and WAV;

-2PCS Lithium-ion rechargeable Batteries:1650mAh/3.7V;

-Dimensions: 107x51x13mm, 128g weight

So, indeed the CPU is not a 1 GHz Snapdragon™-prosessor, but 533 Mhz Hisilicon. But look at the 2G ROM and 2 Gb RAM! Wonder if this is for compensating on the lower CPU?

But here is the thing. I am not a real "Flasher". I basically kept my Universal as-is, and installed a shell on top to have a new look. I started playing around with new ROMs just to improve the available memory on ROM and RAM.

The question is in this case if most of my WM5 apps will work on this Chinese phone? Second question is then, like "@latersooner" says, who on XDA can assist in flashing Chinese ROMs?

Maybe a suggestion could be to have a seperate entry on the forum list "Chinese clones" or something? Just an idea. I see that they are ahead of the competition in Europe, releasing both dual, 3 and 4 SIM phones, both Windows, Android and other (Symbian?).

Hi,

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willem.deboer:
Absolutely agree. Do your research first guys! There are some very interesting Chinese smartphones out there. If you're only looking for cheap imitation, yes, you're bound to be disappointed.

Having said that, China manufacturers are now starting to make dual sim Android smartphones with excellent specs. Only thing missing is 3G. Must say, I don't really miss it. 2G is fine for social media updates and email. Only for heavy surfing you need 3G.

I'm very pleased with the Flying Star FG8 I bought recently :-)

Chinese not-fake phones

I live in Africa. There's a brand that is very widespread here called TECNO - Chinese. Several of their phones run Android, the later models being the N3 and N7.

I bought an N3 out of curiosity - at $94 it did not seem to be a big risk. It supports 2 SIMs, one 3g, and the other vanilla. Seems to work OK as an Android phone (Gingerbread). My only real criticism is the camera, which tends to produce purple pictures in bright lighting.

It seems quite well made. I have been able to root it, and can get to it normally via ADB and Fastboot. I've written a few small applications and everything seems to work as expected. However, I have not been able to find a CWM recovery for it that works, and so far have not seen a ROM that claims to support 2 SIMS.

A single SIM phone is a liability here in Tanzania. There's one operator - Airtel - who can do 3G at a reasonable price, but their calls are expensive. The others are GSM, but what everyone you know uses for normal telephony.

So even if I could find a CWM recovery, and flash CyanogenMod, I'd be robbing myself. Why is the rest of the world stuck on this single SIM thing?

The phone will not turn on now. If it is turning on, then it is simply a black, unlit screen. Would a jig be worth a try or would I be wasting my time?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
The definitive answer to "can I unbrick a Captivate with a jig?" is no. Jigs are worthless unless you have a phone without 3 button fix.

I have 2 captivates here. My wife's phone responds to my jig and my phone does not. This is ridiculous. So, now all you guys can punk those guys who respond with "try a jig".

JIGS ARE WORTHLESS EXCEPT WITH MODEL 1008 AND LOWER PHONES. Almost every phone comes with 3 button fix.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Right. So I'm guessing your phone is 1010 or higher?

It should be made more aware, but I'm pretty sure it's been said somewhere that the two ODIN one-click programs that are running around don't work with any models that are 1010 or higher...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
first jig lies, now this.

I have a 1012. What do you use on a 1012? I've used ODIN several times. I got to thinking that this time I did something different.

I think it was one of the following

1. I had AIO Captivate Toolbox idling on my virtual machine. http://files.teamkomin.com/aio-captivate-tool/Install AIO Captivate Toolbox 3.0.msi

2. I executed a lsusb command in Linux outside the virtual machine during the flash.

Both of those actions seem pretty dossile. I would not expect either to do anything to the flash. However, AIO Captivate toolbox may be polling for status or something in a hositle way which caused a miscommunication.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
venomio, where did you get that information?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I have a 1011 buld and my jig has worked without issue and yes my 3 button does work as well. First things I tested when I got it. It came loaded with 2.2 and I used odin one click that I have had for a while that put me back to 2.1 jf6 , was worried but went off without a hitch.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jferg5:
I just had the same problem. I actually just made a post, but I didn't get the successful from odin. It ws a 1012, and 3 button had always worked before. I'm open to ideas
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xijar:
so are your phones unable to get into download mode at all? I've seen that somewhere about not using Odin oneclick on 1010 or higher but it hasn't been a problem for me the many times I've used Odin. Only oneclick I've used is jf6 though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
lots and lots of theroys

The 1010 and up are unable to use the JF6 one click, regardless of three button fix or not.

I am not sure about the JI6 coming from gingerbread. I used it on a 1010, and it worked fine coming from eclair w/ no bootloader swap. also, i used the one click. From the log you provided it looks like you used full ODIN3 (hopefully that strike worked)

I would say that it was the fact you had ran the command in linux, it may have confused the data cord and have something "tangled" data wise or the 1012 build, although I thought it was only JF6 one click. I need to research more before i brick my 1012.

I remember talking to Team PHX on their IRC and they were talking about these 1010 and up not working with JF6 and one of them said they were pointing people at the JI6 one-click so i believe its compatible.

Although I'm going to stick to my theroy of data getting tangled up.

I wouldnt say it was AIO because it was just running like a background task, nothing more, nothing less.

Oh wait! If you read more you will recieve twice the amount of me thinking!

I have another theroy! Phew, Lots of ideas, little time. well, lots of time Dang, forgot what i was going to say....I'll edit this once i remember OH! the log says cache.rfs twice. could that have been a problem? I wouldnt think so, but may cause a bad flash.

So, this would be a good time to call up connexion (or however you spell that)

Or mobiletechvideos, although im sure its the same guy.:p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
Alright, now the evidence is piling up.

right now the score is

2 for 1010 and up problem

and 2 for a linux command problem.

Time to see if i can use my detective skillZ to figure this out. MORE RESEARCH!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jferg5:
I have used the same jf6 one click many times on this phone with no problem. I didn't notice the double during the flash. It really just stuck at reset. I'm clueless a to why after 10 plus flashes it did it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer_raj:
i have 1011 version..

and i hav used oneclick to go back to jf6 many times..and no problem...so i think ppl r just assuming that it wont work on some 1008 or 1012 and higher...

and i m not taht experienced..but seein the log i m just wondering if sbl.bin did mess up with ur booloaders..

Another 1010 here that works with jf6 odin one-click
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Yeah... don't get me wrong... I had a 10.10 that worked fine with Odin until one day it went kablooey on one-click.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drancid:
i read some posts about odin one-click issue cause i had exactly the same issue after jf6 odin so i had to made usb jig then flashed ji6 to fix it.

This is what i figured out so far.

If your device's build number is 1010 or higher and froyo preinstalled (kb1, kb2) from factory, you can't use jf6 one click. It will cause boot loop and won't able to get into download mode with key combo. U need to use usb jig like me to fix it. Use FROYO one click instead.

Maybe build numbers don't matter but the froyo from factory cause the problem.. i guess..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
it will not BRICK your phone.....it will put you in a bootloop. BIG DIFFERENCE
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drancid:
oh sorry i meant boot loop. Will correct it!! ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sa1yan:
Here's what I have to say, if your phone has ANY signs of life, TRY the JIG

or else AT&T Warranty is your friend.

Or heimdall Unbrick program
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeathicusF:
I need some help with this too!

I previously had the Cognition ROM installed on my Captivate and wanted to change to Serendipity.

I tried the Odin3 One-Click which I downloaded from this thread (it's the JF6) and was following the directions in that thread. Odin reported success, but now my phone is stuck in bootloop.

I went to Radio Shack and bought some resisters and made a jig and can successfully get back to download mode now, so I'm still holding out hope!

My phone is a 1011. It's a refurb I bought a few months ago from AT&T. It came with Froyo.

Should I try the JI6 that has been mentioned in this thread? Where can I download it from? Or is there something else I should try?

EDIT: Oh, I'm using Windows 7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
Guys.. I'm not in need of any help here.. This thread is 5 months old. I've been through 5 phones since then and I now use an Infuse4G as a daily phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsilvan55:
I'm pretty sure I have a 1012 model and i can use a jig. But I dont have the 3 button fix also...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drancid:
U better try ji6
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkuso:
The jig worked for u? My captivate is now in soft brick and i have the key combo locked, if i hold the both vol and power just reboot my phone, i was really scared when someone told that if ur phone has the combo key locked the jig dosent work neither, i already bought a jib but have to w8 about 1 week.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeathicusF:
I'm back up and running now. My saga is in this thread.

The jig worked for me. I lost my 3-button combo and couldn't boot into download or recovery. It was like it completely ignored the buttons being held down and just flashed the "ATT World Phone" screen over and over.

I didn't want to wait a week, so I went to Radio Shack and bought the resistors and some heat shrink tubing, then a soldering iron at Harbor Freight. It was under $10 all totaled. I used the micro-usb cable that came with the phone (it didn't have a solid connection when I plugged it in, so I had bought a replacement and that original was a spare) to make the jig. My soldering skills suck, but I managed to make a working jig. Plug the jig into the phone and it should go into download mode in less than 3 seconds. Then unplug the jig, connect the phone to your computer via USB, and you should be able to run Odin to re-flash.

I was scared as hell when I went through all of that, but it worked like a charm. I still can't boot into recovery or download mode with the button combos, but I can get into either with the power menu now or if I really screw things up again, I've got the jig to get me out of a bind.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
No need for all of that. Simply drop the battery, connect USB, hold volume buttons and insert battery. That's it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkuso:
I tried that a lot of times, i have 2 days trying any method that i see and nothing work for me (heimdall, one click unbrick, odin, 1-2-3-4comb key with all kind of timing), holding both vol and power only reboots the phone and aleast that is good because the button aren't dead. i also made a jig but didnt work (pretty sure i did something wrong). I couldent find a the tool for check the ohms, or solder the resistors, so u can figure out what i did (frankenstein jig), all my hope is in that inc professional jig (scared as hell too).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeathicusF:
Yeah, that's all good, but there are some instances where that just doesn't work. Believe me, if that had worked, I wouldn't have had to build the jig.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkuso:
+1^

Aleast you fixed, im glad for u, wish me luck with that jig that im w8ing. Hope it works as should.

Hi

Lol after spending ages on this forum, finally ordered a Nook Color and got it a week back. having spent a week with it, i have to say that i am delighted with the purchase.

it came with 1.1, rooting was very easy. made a backup and got stuck in clockwork mod while booting so removed clockwork mod with the flashable zip file and now works properly.

havent spent much time on the rooted 1.1 though. i have been running honeycomb off my class 6 transcend 8gb microsdhc card and its awesome.

its sluggish and a lot of apps dont download but ive got all my basic necessary apps loaded including pulse, class buddy pro, angry birds among others. its only a wonder how great it will be once deeper-blue or somebody else comes up with a stable rom. battery life is great too. get around 7 hours and it last forever if kept on standby :D

my question is how to take a screenshot while on honeycomb running off the sd card? i tried holding the 'n' buttong down and pressing volume down but that doesnt seem to do anything. any other alternative method of taking screenshots?

i want to take screenshots and post them here and also use it for a review i plan to do on "honeycomb on the nook color." thanks
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
The N button method only works with stock. There are apps out there, but I heard they're not working on all ROM's...Do a google search for free screenshot app or just search around the market.

Needed to correctly run nand. Got both those?

And no offence but " NAND kernal failed to load or something " will only make less people want to help.what error? If you missed it do it again and write the error down, with the added bonus that you can Google an exact error, you can't Google "kernel something blahblah "

1. What ROM right now would be best for his battery life - anything sense reletated, or non asop?

(It also has to include backup assistant because the one we put on today didn't, and we had to nandroid back)

2. Are there any ROMs with a kernel built in?

(I just want this to be a one time thing...I don't know about Incredible kernels at all and don't plan on learning :P)

3. Do you have a list of themes that would work with sense?

So I have tried this a number of times. When I try to install Nookie Froyo to the EMMC using CWM 3.0.0.5, I keep getting Installation Aborted. I had flashed it back to stock 1.0.1 to start over but no dice. Then it hit me. Dummy, I didn't re-root.

So, flashed - yet again - back to stock 1.0.1. Used B&N's ROM to update to 1.1.0. Used Auto-Nooter 3.0.0 to root it. Then created a bootable CWM with the Nookie Froyo zip file on it. I really thought I was going to have it this time but once again, Installation Aborted.

So far, the only ROM I have been able to install with CWM is the original stock 1.0.1. Piece of cake there. I have been using the same Nookie Froyo from my other SD card I have, absolutely love it which is why I want to get it on my EMMC so I can free up the card.

Any ideas? I am scratching my head. Been at it for 2 nights. :confused:
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
If you're trying to flash a ROM that is intended to be bootable from SD to eMMC THAT'S your issue. You need to use an eMMC ROM zip file. From what you're saying it sounds like you're not.
[Nook Color General] Hiro666:
I wish it was that easy. I've been careful in following directions so I definitely have the file that is meant to be flashed to the EMMC - nookie-froyo-0.6.8.custom.3.zip. As opposed to this file - nookie-froyo-0.6.8.SDCARD.2GB.custom.3.zip - which I unzipped and used the resulting image file to create a bootable SD.

I appreciate the response though.

I am new to this stuff and I have read and re-read the volumes of posts and instructions. I am floored by the talent of the Developers and am infinitely grateful for all the efforts! Tried multiple searches to see if someone was having the same problems and have come across those that would get the Installation Aborted message within CWM but they were able to figure it out. Unfortunately, none of their solutions helped. Argh.
[Nook Color General] steve13:
I know there were issues with CWM versions before 3.0.1 and B&N software version 1.1. I was on B&N 1.1, rooted, installed CWM 3.0.0.5, but I couldn't make a backup. So I searched around and found some info saying that those two software versions didn't get along. After I upgraded CWM to 3.0.1, everything works as it should, maybe that's your issue as well. I hadn't tried flashing anything through CWM 3.0.0.5 before upgrading it though, but it's worth a shot.
[Nook Color General] Hiro666:
Now THAT sounds promising! I did try 3.0.1.0 but not since I flashed it back to stock, installed 1.1.0 and re-rooted. Thanks much for this bit of info. I will try this tonight.

I don't feel so dumb now.

[Nook Color General] Hiro666:
Oh, boy. Back to feeling dumb. For some reason I made the assumption I had to flash CWM then copy the zip file to the the SD card. If I followed Brian's instructions to begin with, I would have saved myself a ton of time. Ah, well.

So I got Nookie Froyo flashed to my EMMC but there are some differences to the SD card version. So after all that, I am back to my SD card installation. i know Brian is working on another EMMC version that sounds like the SD card install. At least now I know what I am doing.

I do appreciate the help, all.
[Nook Color General] steve13:
FWIW, I tried, albeit very briefly, the same nookie froyo that you're using, and I found that I like CM7 a lot more. Now that you got your issues ironed out, you might want to give it a shot and see how you like it. There's a good write-up about installing and maintaining a CM7 rom over on androidtablets.net.
