TP upgrade firmware and research on it

Hi Guys,

As usual other guys, I screwed up my Canvas HD 116 (hw version 1 and sw version 16), and then I started work on getting touch panel (FT5206) firmware working.

Well did adb on factory mode and tried running Tpupgrade using OTG keyboard, and got Firmware bin file error. So I looked up /system/bin/factory bin carefully and found out that it searched touch panel firmware in "/mnt/sdcard/tp_firmware".

Here is list of bin files it looks under "tp_firmware"

tinno-fts-update-byd.bin
tinno-fts-update-truly.bin
tinno-fts-update-nanbo.bin
tinno-fts-update-baoming.bin
tinno-fts-update-jiemian.bin
tinno-fts-update-yeji.bin

Now I really don't know which Tinno platform 116 has, byd or truly or yeji.....

I got two firmware bin under "/etc/firmware/ft5206" -

tinno-fts-update-jiemian.bin
tinno-fts-update-yeji.bin

So I copied these bin to "/mnt/sdcard/tp_firmware", given 0777 permission (please use 'su') and tried TP upgrade again, but still same error.

So conclusion is -
1. Either I need to find out other missing bin
2. Or I need to fix permission issue if any

well, I am trying hard, if anyone has any clue, info please let me know.

let's work together and get rid of this stupid touch panel firmware upgrade issue.

mmx service center simply replacing all v16 motherboards by v20 motherboards and loading JB 4.2 on it. But I want mu v16 motherboard fully working with touch, so sure, I will try hard to get it

Thanks,
Shrikrishna B

Thanks, but I am not able to set permission using chown, its not allowing me to do it (Operation not permitted) though I am using su.
Do you have any idea how to set these permissions.

Are you able to mount sdcard0 in r/w mode because it may be possible that card is mounted in read only mode.

One more thing. Try using chmod command because it is for settting permissions like rw-r--r-- which you are trying to set. 'chown' is command for changing ownership of file which might not work.
For setting rw-r--r-- permission you can use "chmod 644 <file>" command. Please refer once on net if I am missing something.

use es file explorer press menu button switch on root explorer,mount system as rw,then go to file >properties and change permissions its alot easier
m not sure if chown will work cos tats to change ownership of file not permissions of the file,use chmod otherwise but es file explorer is easier to use..

Thanks, let me check quickly. I tried with "chmod 644", but didn't see permissions there.

I just check, ES explorer displays RW permission.

But when I boot in factory mode, and verified permissions for /mnt/sdcard/tp_firmware,

----rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 21795 2013-07-22 19:03 tinno-fts-update-jiemian.bin
----rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 21554 2013-07-22 19:03 tinno-fts-update-yeji.bin

I tried chmod 644, but not working.

sdcard0 is mounted with rw, so no issue with that.

It seems we can't set permissions to /storage under factory mode.
I did adb to A116 putting it in factory mode. Using keyboard I can select Tpupgrade but getting FW bin file error. So this must be permission issue for /mnt/sdcard/tp_firmware.

Can anybody help me to understand how to root factory mode of A116, this will allow me to give permissions to firmware partition.

few more options try the attached files... am going to try them tomorrow.. good luck if it works!!!

Hi Deepak,
I tried the zip, and TpUpgrade.apk is not running saying App not installed.

Then i did adb and executed /system/xbin/tpupgrade, but got following error -

/sys/class/input/input3/device_name attr read fail

Can you please provide me source code of tpupgrade, so that I can modify it, or you can assist me getting it.

your help will be precious.

This can not be a permission issue. The tpupgrade what we interrupted is basically, clearing the current firmware and installing the new firmware.
The clearing the current firmware got completed but not the installation of the newer firmware which is why touch is failed. When you re-run the TPUpgrade next time there is no active firmware on touch panel so it does not know which bin files it has to pick and install.

You can try doing one thing, rename the name of the bin file from tinno-fts-update-jiemian.bin to just .bin and try doing upgrade. (we do not have anthing to loose so you try this out and let us know how it went)

Good Luck!

I tried with "tinno-fts-update-.bin", but no luck. let me check dmesg of factory mode, I hope it will give some idea.

TP Issue fixed by mmx service

My touch screen stops responding after the failed TPupgrade and gave to Micromax service center. I got back my mobile yesterday installed with 4.2 and everything is working fine. Looks like they have changed the motherboard to fix this issue.

That's good news for you. Do you see IMEI number change, might be they replaced motherboard or base Tinno firmware.
Can you please tell me hw ans sw version written below the battery.
How many days they took to repair your mobile?

On the day they returned the phone, they told me that IMEI number is not written so will write the same and deliver it. I didnt check the number but I think due to motherboard replacement the IMEI number got lost and they've written it back.

They took almost a month to return back my phone and didnt charge me anything..

Hw v1.0
Sw v16

*NOTE:

After Flashing and updating from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 there will be a TP UPDATE pop up which will update the TP automatically. So it is advised DON'T TOUCH PHONE's SCREEN ON FIRST BOOT (don't even press the OK button), LET THE TP UPGRADE DO HIS WORK,WAIT FOR AT LEAST 10-15 MINUTES BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.

When this appears you are done

This was not my first rooting or firmware updating experience with Android devices Yet I was scared to death since I have heard so many users experiencing variety of issues with d fone after updating. Its only 3 days old device so fear was quite obvious

Now with shivering hands I tried one other guide for updating firmware which said that we have to press "download" in SP tools.. I followed and didn't work. So searched another post and found yours and it worked out as expected.
Many thanks for your efforts. Everything is working just fine with batter options. :good:
I think previously released devices had faulty hardware n various bugs which were fixed in later manufactured devices. My device is manufactured in june so its a new lot I suppose that's why everything went so smooth and I didn't even see that last message of TPupdate after finishing upgrade. I donno.. Thanks Anyway :cowboy:
