Best Working Roms

HI Vishal

I must thank, i found that only your ROMS were working without any glitch V1.2.&3. Keep up good work,


Dear XDA community users and Xolo A500s owners,

I found that we don't have a dedicated thread for this phone,thus starting a new one with some of my contributions.


NOTE: Never use the FLASHTOOL (any version) for A500s as it bricks the device since the preloader.bin file from stock rom also corrupts the rom in case you need to restore. :laugh::laugh:

Flash CWM or unbrick A500s with SP flash tool procedure

1) Extract the attached file on your computer (link)
2) Download xolo drivers from here (link)
3) Shutdown your phone and remove battery
4) Open SpFlash tool with admin priviledges and click next to scatter file to choose the MT6572 one from the downloaded folder
5) The tool will pick and check preloader.bin automatically and remaining ones will be unchecked (Select preloader.bin only if your device is bricked if its not and you only need to have cwm installed proceed to step 6)
6) To install CWM now double click on boot and recovery image and point to the downloaded folder to select boot_patch and recovery_patch accordingly (Remember to check it)
7)Now click Download and connect the phone via usb to computer (During this process your PC will show unknown device so in order to install device drives download xolo drivers and choose to select the inf file and it will get installed).Remove USB once and ensure download is clicked prior and then usb cable is inserted to PC.
8) The process will begin and a green circle saying ok will be displayed and thus the flashing is successful.
9) Now disconnect the device and put in battery and hold power and volume up key to sucesfully boot into CWM and there by unbrick your device...
10) Then you can install any custom rom created by other developers.

Note: If you wish to load complete stock rom for Xolo A500s download the stock rom from the links ABTri has posted in his forum and replace the preloader.bin with the attached one. This will restore your ROM to factory default with stock recovery.

To begin with i present you the stock deodexed cwm rom for our own Xolo A500s phone.

Steps:

1) Root your phone with framaroot (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2293503&d=1380569629)
2) Install MTKdroidTools 2.4.8 from here (http://dfiles.eu/files/fmnok7ke7)
Download and run the MTKdroidTools.exe (Note enable usb debugging on your phone and grant root access from the mtkdroid app to access your phone)

Then backup your existing rom by clicking on root ,backup,recovery tab and backup. this will back up your entire stock rom in case you want to revert.

3) For CWM install click on Recovery and boot and choose the option "To choose the boot.img file" and then select your stock boot.img file which u backed up. Next it will patch it with CWM autoinstaller just click yes and ok and the device will reboot. Woola you now have a working CWM to proceed.

Steps to install the deodexed rom
1) Boot into CWM recovery and download the stock deodex rom from here (http://www.toobigtosend.net/download/279913c4-3bd3-11e3-a7f9-005056ac53f8/)
2) Copy the downloaded rom to the sd card--> clockwordmod -> backup folder
3) Say restore and navigate to the cwmbackup folder and select it
4) Clear Dalvik cache and cache partition

Thats its reboot and you are on deodexed rom..

More download links will be available shortly :) Stay tuned..

This is the start of my development so i need more ideas on what can be included additionally.

And yes use the thank meter if you want to appreciate the work :)

xolo a500s ips phone is bricked despite loading cwm recovery

Hello Vishal..

I managed to flash my phone with ROM but I guess I also overwrote the preloader.bin. Now my XOLO A500S IPS is having just a blank white display. Earlier it was not booting at all but after flashing it with your A500S CWM it is now starting up and showing a blank white screen which sometimes flickers. After that there is nothing and I am unable to use the phone. Is there any possibility to recover it back again ?? I really love the phone ... :confused: please help me .. I followed the steps of your post but still no luck ..

Hey Manu,
I can help you to restore the correct firmware PM me and we will do it.. Thank you

xolo a500s ips phone is bricked despite loading cwm recovery

Earlier it was not booting at all but after flashing it with your A500S CWM it is now starting up and showing a blank white screen which sometimes flickers. After that there is nothing and I am unable to use the phone. Is there any possibility to recover it back again ?? I really love the phone ... please help me ..

Hi Vishal / Forum Admin,

I was trying to flash my phone and I think I have bricked it. I followed your instructions to the letter but the only progress the phone made was from completely blank screen to now I am getting a screen that is fully white and sometimes flickers while starting - however I cannot see anything on screen. I have tried to only flash the preloader.bin that you have given but to no avail.

Please advise is there anything I can do to unbrick it except send it to the service center ??

regards
