Modding Chinese Android Hero H6 (android 2.1)

[A n d r e]

Hello!
I just bought an Chinese Android Phone Hero H6. I guess it's the cheapest Android Phone available (it sells for like US$120) and it has a MTK6516 chip.

I could root it using Universal Androot, but I'd like to take it to the next step:
use apps2sd or maybe update it to Froyo (I don't know if it's possible since it appears to have only 128MB RAM).

To install apps2sd I'd have to update the recovery, right?
Does anyone here has the same device so we can try to make it happen?

I'd be very grateful!

Thank you!

I Wont Lie To You, I'm Not Really Familiar With The Chinese Version, But I Do Have The Cdma Hero!!
You Should Be Able To Do The Same Thing As Me!! Don't See Why Not??

Try *Z4Root* For "Root", & Install
*Rom Manager* For "Recovery"

Also There's A App Called *Install- Manager* That Will Allow You To Move Apps From Phone Without Partitioning Your Sdcard!!

Hope This Helps!!

Hello!
I installed Rom Manager, but I got a little afraid with the big warning when you first run it lol

Is it possible to brick my phone when I install the ClockworkMod Recovery? I don't know if it's compatible...

I'll install the Install Manager and see if it's good..

Thank you!

Go To My Posts! I Think I Posted A App Called "Z4Root"?

Anyway, Use That To Root Your Phone (May Take A Few Tries)
But Definitely Works!!!

Then Depending If You Have S-on You May Have To Download "Unrevoked-Forever" From The Unrevoked.com Website.

Next You Can Go To The Market & Install "ROM Manager" Open That App, Select Flash Recovery, Confirm, Then Go To Install From SdCard.

Select The Unrevoked-Forever Zip, (Make Sure It's Put On The Main Directory Of Your SdCard)
Next I Believe It Will Bring You To Your New Recovery Screen!!

*Note* Recovery Menu Can Be Accessed By Powering Off, Then Powering Back On While Holding Volume Down, Once The Phones On Press The Home Button To Get Into Recovery!

Hopefully This Helps!!

Any Other Questions,
PM Me.... I'll Help You Out!

Hi guys,

I recently bought a Chinese SuperPad and now I'm looking for a Chinese Android Phone. I am thinking of the H6, H9 or Star A3000. All use the same processor.

How are your experiences until now with your phones?

At the first time it use to pop up a menu asking me what to do when I connect USB cable to PC , but now it happens nothing and the USB SETTINGS option from menu is gone too .
I don't know what to do ...
Could somebody help ?

Hero H6 Mtk 6516 recovery.img

Hi there
I am looking for a recovery.img for my H6 (mtk6516) which gives me the 'update.zip' option when I start the phone in recovery mode. My recovery just shows a triangle with exclamation mark, no options. or am i doing something wrong? Can anyone post a recovery.img?
I appreciate any help!

Cheers!

megaupload.com/?d=TPYW1GT6

 

[ottovonschrotto]

Thanks fat_fat!

 

[fat_fat]

[fran77]

I need the original firmware for H6, can somebody upload it?

Here is the driver for USB MT6516

megaupload.com/?d=DDRGAX32

 

[ottovonschrotto]

So I tried fat_fats recovery.img for the H6, thanks again for the file.
it didn't work though. my screen just flashes in bright light and then the device reboots normally. i do have another revovery that gives me just an exclamation mark and no update.zip option. is there any other way or another recovery.img around to update the h6 from 2.1 to 2.2? any ideas? thanks!

 

[fat_fat]

hmm.. thats Odd.. maybe we don't have the same phone???
does your phone have 2 sim cards readers? you might have to life the black sticker under the battery.
the recovery i have, i flashed using a serial/usb cable.
i have the schamatics to build the cable and the flashing utility. I can upload when i get to my computer if you would like!
thats how i was able to update my phone.
