What happened to the ROM:confused:

Hi,
we apologize for the terrible delay in updating.

A night on that January while we were working to the rom my friend felt suddenly sick - we lately found out he had
had a spontaneous pneumothorax. After my friend being at the hospital for 8 days and the successive recovery period we
didn't really feel like putting any other effort in the developing of the rom and concentrate on the "other" life.

Anyways, what was left to do was deleting the terrible static noise during calls - sometimes calls
were perfect, sometimes they were horrible - we could'nt figure out what were we doing wrong. In the meantime one of our
devices definitely broke and testing phase had become fustrating.

We were not enjoying Tinji anymore. :rolleyes:

Sorry.

identical problem, different chipset

Hi guys,

A good lesson learned after rewriting PRELOADER and DSP_BL with another phone's.
The phone was dead, no led when connected to usb and of course no activity on flash tool as the usb port was not activating.
Basically as i understand the critical blocks are the first 5, PRELOADER and DSP_BL (that's why flash tool has them with red text) and also MBR, EBR1 and UBOOT.

Anyway after having the phone in this condition i was searching for unbricking methods and i found this good thread in the Russian site forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?p=730752
I understood the principle although the translation was not good, i searched with the multimeter for points that with connected the usb cable will have a voltage near the battery voltage as was suggested at that post. Finaly i found the two points that are shown in the second picture (points 1 and 2).

Without battery, connected the usb cable to the pc and opened the device manager.
I turned the multimeter to the location that acts like jumper, using the multimeter cables was very handy for that.
I touched it some times, nothing was happening and decided to keep it alittle more, the list moved in device manager but nothing special.
So i decided to keep it more than 5 seconds, the device manager recognized Mediatek USB port, that was. The drivers were there installed from previous attempts. I also had installed manually as legacy devices some extra from the mediatek driver list.

I started flash tool, loaded the scatter file of the ROM i use for this phone and selected only the first 5 blocks and pressed download.
I connected the two points and kept them like that till flashing finished.
I placed the battery and pushed it to touch the pins (cause without the back frame don't fits ok) and the red led was working now.
Assembled it back, loaded again the flash tool but now with all the blocks selected and did the flashing now using the usual way with the battery.
That's it after flashing finished the phone booted ok and started the setup.

I had a complete backup that i did with the MTKdroidTools and got back the phone as it was exactly before flashing the wrong rom.

For anyone that has the phone in same bad condition and wants to try this method of course as usual i must say is done AT YOUR OWN RISK
If there is a possibility to have the phone replaced do it.

Yes my problem is 100% identical to yours.
I can't have my xperia C detected as meditek/preloader com port, both with battery inserted or not. Somehow I've seen this methods on YouTube explaining on how to install preloader com port, the thing is he was using different phone/chipset.
I've searched any site showing and locating these two "test point" but no one is using xperia C as a testpiece. Can you please help me?

Hi guys,

thanks for reviving my phone Mt6582 GTide V1, i had downladed the five blocks, the screen lighted with manufacturer logo.:eek:
rather than the led notification point which doesn't respond to any handling.
then tried to install the selected blocks by SPFT, unfotunately didn't succeed.:crying:
but seems fortunate because i can go to the service center that they can recover the phone rather than completely dead phone.
so i can stay finger crossed.:fingers-crossed:
really you are the hero of MT65xx forums.:good:
million thanks.

Method-1: Using the One-click root application
Step-1: Back up your device
This is the basic and necessary step before making any significant changes to your mobile phone. If something goes wrong during the process, then the data backup can help to get all your valuable stuff back in your phone. You can take the backup on your Google account or can use the third-party apps.

Step-2: Choose the application
After you take the backup of your phone, it is time to choose the APK or custom ROM. You may know that the Android platform is open-source and that’s why there are many modified versions available created by the developers. After checking the compatibility with your phone, you can select rooting programs like Kingo Root or Towelroot to distribute and install the software.

Here, I will provide the steps using the Kingo Root app.

Step-3: Download the application
The Kingo Root app is not available in the Google PlayStore. So, you have to download the APK and install it manually.

1. You can visit the official download page from your mobile and get it from there directly.

2. If you are using your computer or if the download fails, you can download and email the APK as an attachment.
Open the receiver email ID in your phone and download the file.

3. Before downloading the file, allow applications from unknown sources in your device. (Settings > Security > Unknown Sources)

4. Install the app on your device.

Step-4: Run the application

After the successful installation of the app, run it on your device. Now, tap on the ‘One-click root’ and wait for some time. If everything is fine, your phone will be rooted within a minute.

So, above are the steps to root your Android device with the Kingo Root app. In case, if you want to reverse the Android root, open the app again and click on ‘remove root.’

Regards,
Willjoe

    good news, be patient

    Hi guys

    me and my friend are having hard times since weeks to develop a custom rom for our tinji.

    Ubuntu, cygwin, sp flash tools, xml editor, hex editors... we're spending nights working on it and studying a lot.

    Pretty fun, actually :)

    The very good new is that we found a suitable rom from another device which has an official Android 4.0.4.

    And good support from developer ;)

    Tried many roms as the Lenovo ones... it was a tough search since the start.

    Countless bricks.

    Just one advice: use preloader and other files from H640...b06.rar rom while flashing. Just change system.img into rom folder during your tests.

    Well, anyways...

    In the beginning the BT and wifi weren't working. Solved.

    Absolutely no problems with wcdma, internet connection speed test with Italian provider Wind more than 400kb/sec.

    No more noises during phone calls. Ever.

    2,4gb internal memory (no more room problems installing apps in internal memory)

    New rom will not have the problem to modify vold.fstab file because it will automatically recognize sdcard as external memory.

    Gps properly working (final release will be set to it.pool.org, to set it to your country you will have to use fasterfix from market)

    Camera focusing, the flash is just a shame.

    At the moment we are working on the power menu so that we can have on our rom "reboot from recovery" option.

    framework-res.apk is a pain in the ... to recompile -.-

    And more...

    The device is showing nice skills. We keep bricking 9 times a day but there is no problem in revive it.

    There is a lot to do still, but prepare an IMEI backup with mobileuncle tools and learn the basics to use sp flash tools because

    soon we will upload a stable release.

    We are working for you, don't throw away your tinji already.

    Peace.

    My experience with Tinji i9300

    Hello guys,

    First i want to thank you all, i got many ideas and solutions from this thread.
    My phone was bought as HD|C i9300+ but came as Tinji i9300 which finally was for good as i found this thread.

    I rooted the phone using Taiwan recovery and mkroot script that were mentioned earlier in this thread.

    Thanks for the wifi solution ideas, finally i did the aluminum tape mod and the results are fantastic, at location that i didn't had any signal i now have three lines. I tested also the wire solution but the signal was getting very low when i had the phone in hand.

    For the gps the only solution that worked very good for me was the wire, but is not a handy solution and the gps is not so important for me, so i don't care.

    Initially i was disappointed cause the phone was almost unusable as phone, either very low volume or interference noise while in call.
    I tested some ROMs (Taiwan/Stock) but my voice problems were not ending.
    Finally i found a link at a German forum at chinamobiles.org/showthread.php?31647-Star-GT-i9300-MT6577/page13 see post 249
    This solved my voice problems, also there are no Chinese apps.
    Flashed the same way as Taiwan ROM, then flashed recovery and then rooted it with the mkroot batch script.
    One thing to mention for the root process to start is to install the Android Composite device drivers in windows if the phone is not recognized by the system, i used the android sdk google usb driver.
    Another is that the HOME key was not working after flashing this ROM but the solution is provided at the same thread posts 272 till 296.
    I don't speak German but Google is our friend, not perfect translation to English but i was able to understand, a big thanks.

    The Bluetooth worked for file transferring but not with sound. I found the solution in this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899592 (Thank you), is the "test fix for Bluetooth problem".
    I downloaded the signed_BJMOD_fix_BT_test2.zip and installed it with CWM recovery, the Bluetooth sound after reboot was perfect.

    Anyway, this was my experience and i decided to share it as may also help other people.
    This is my first post so i avoided the http prefix at the links.

    Thank you all.
