All About Cherry Mobile Fuze (Q390)

ng0tkul4 · Feb 24, 2014

Fuze (Q390) is an Android-powered smart phone sold by Cherry Mobile, a local brand in the Philippines. Fuze is powered by Mediatek MT6582 Quad-Core SoC (@1.3GHz), partnered with a 1GB RAM and is equipped with a 5.0in TN screen/display panel. Its SRP is 5,499 in Philippine Peso (or approximately US$125.00). Physically, it looks the same as the Micromax A96, but they differ internally (at least in the amount of RAM).

ColorOS --- i'm hesitant to upload because it has few yet ignorable problems. it uses the GB/ICS's /sdcard0/external_sd approach to fetch and enum files... the effect is Oppo Music and Filemanager is failing to get the files (we can use different music player and filemanager). Also OTG storage mounts ok, but there's no easy way to properly unmount it (i.e. unmount via terminal) ... unlike LewaOS that there's an item in its "Storage" settings that can be used to properly/safely unmount the storage.

I will try again after two weeks...

Just bought a Fuze, and wondering if my unit is defective or it really has issues with the edges of the touch screen. Whenever I use Touchpal X, I have trouble pressing the "a" key. I need to press slightly between "a" and "s" to get it to register.

I have the same issue with some games, when tapping on the very edge of the screen wont register. I have show touches enabled, and it shows the white circle, but the game won't respond at all. Any ideas? I'm running rooted stock rom with gravity box. The only other module i'm using is root cloak for avabel online.

Anyone have similar problems?

EDIT: Found the cause. I had Pie Controls set to 15px so it was eating a lot of screen space for activation. I disabled Pie and it works fine now

I need help

I formatted my PC (due to virus) then my Backup for Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 is lost.

Now my Q390 phone got corrupted and after formatting the phone Baseband is Unknown and IMEI is NULL. I need help by any chance any user with backup that I can use? I cannot write my IMEI because the phone its self has nothing to write on to. Phone is working can boot and etc except the baseband is gone and evidently no IMEI.

if you can get hold of a NVRAM partition from others phone (not necessarily Q390 - at least same SoC: MT6582), then you can flash it to your phone.

BUT, your phone will have the same IMEI as the source phone. So if you and source phone would use the same SP (Service Provider or network), and IF this SP is strict about cloned IMEIs, they could block this IMEI. Leaving both phones unusable to this network. So if you can get hold of NVRAM partition from somebody living abroad (i.e. foreigner), the better.

if you are rooted, and terminal (adb shell) savvy, you can write it it via dd, i.e.:
$ dd if=/path/of/nvram of=/dev/nvram

or you can flash it via SPFT memory write ("Window" menu -> "Write Memory").
1) Select "Write Memory" tab (after it is shown)
2) Select "EMMC" for the memory setting
3) Select/browse ("Open Raw Data") the NVRAM image for the "File Path"
4) "Begin Address (Hex)" = 0x1800000
5) "Container Length (Hex)" = 0x500000
6) Click "Write Memory"
7) Connect your phone to PC (must be turned off as you may already know)

The NVRAM image could be named as nvram.bin or something else. But it must be a raw image of NVRAM partition (/dev/nvram) from other phone. TWRP can do a backup of this partition by selecting it when you are about to perform TWRP backup.

If you want to temporarily restore your IMEI, you can try MTKDroidTools or Mobile Uncle Tools (apk)

under NVRAM folder. It has nothing. Literally nothing inside the nvram folder.

correct.

there's shouldn't be anything there...as it is not supposed to be a folder. for one, dd will not work in folder, so i really expect /dev/nvram to be not a folder, rather than a device file pointing to NVRAM partition (offset 0x1800000) of your Fuze's EMMC.

if you see /dev/nvram as a folder/directory (rather than a device file), then something's gone really wrong in your EMMC partitions.

Sir the multi touch for Fuze works well your device is not defective. You can't do multi touch if you press already on the left part for me it doesnt really makes sense why'd do that. Example you press arrow up button then you want to press A should you still use your right thumb well in fact the left thumb is already near it furthermore it doesnt affect when your playing games. Its just whenever your using the keyboard.

As I mentioned on my post. I factory formatted the partition. Well I sent back the device to Cherry Mobile so that they can repair it.I just have to wait for 1 month.
