Carliv touch recovery

Just thought I'd let you all know (if there's anyone out there??) that I just ported Carlivs touch recovery to my old Star N9770 and it works perfectly info here.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471479

To backup your stuff from adb:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mbr.img bs=4096 count=4
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/ebr1.img bs=4096 count=4 skip=4

LOOK OUT - dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard2/fat.img bs=4096 count=546040 skip=402408

To save the full fat (2G) you need to mount another sdcard (or dd smaller chunks and remove chunks to make free space and rejoin them)
I haven't tested this one, but to create a single file full backup, this probably works (you need I think at least 4G free space, or chunk it up):

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard2/fullbackup.img bs=4096

I am still trying to figure out how to backup from adb the preloader and dsp_bl partitions.

CAUTION
The dd parameters are accurate only if your partitions have the same parameters as mine.
These are my parameters:

Hi, bit of an infrequent lurker here. I rooted an android I had a few years ago thanks to the instructions I found here and never registered (or did and forgot).

I've had a STAR N9770 since 2012 and would like to root it and install a new ROM but the instructions in this thread are a bit confusing.

I am under the assumption that I should use MTK Droid Root (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2160490) to root the phone, but I am unsure on the exact steps I need to take and what else I need.

I saw this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2332783 but am unsure what kind of partition layout my phone is using, someone mentions that installing CWM will cause the phone not to boot properly (granted they were rooting a different phone).

I assume I need a custom ROM (which seems to be difficult to find, but I did see a 4.2.2 one here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48468151&postcount=1562) and the CWM (although the links in the second post are all dead and what was said in the other post confused me a little).

The Model number listed in my about is: e1909c_v77_gq1008_9p017_6228
It's currently running Android 4.0.9
With the Kernal version showing as: 3.0.13
Build number is: E1909C_V77_GQ1008_9P017_6228_20120924

I can take a picture of the about section if needed.

Should I follow Chrizzly92's guide that I mentioned earlier to root; then install CWM and then install a new ROM?

Thanks

Jelly Bean upgrade

Well, I just don't know the terminology. I thought the Kernel was ICS or Jelly bean. My kernel is 3.0.13. Yours with jellybean is 3.4.x. The firmware and ICS are one? 1809c What is the 5647 then? What is the GQ1008 mean. Yes I have ICS and want to use the Jellybean for some improvements I read about. At $200 for the new phone and the 2 GB internal and the 2 GB sd1 with 32GB SD2 I think it would be worth it. Just wanted to keep the phone for another year before I go another $200. Star S1 or n9500 has the items I spoke of, sorry. If you could explain the terminology, I would make more sense.
If your post and mine don't show here I guess any answer is mute.
Thanks for your time anyway.

Hi experts!
I'm just checking back. I did a search on this thread and did not see any 5647 upgrades to 4.1 or 4.2. Any thing change since the last time I asked. I was able last time to flash the 08092012 update and got the cameras working in all but still would like to have 4.1 or better 4.2 since it handles the 512MB limit better for this phone. If so could you pass along the download links? I notice the top of the phone heats up using the GPS and Data together. Is this a thing with these China phones or is that common even on the new 4..4 phones.

 

[lllcandymanlll]

hello guys...
is there a led in this phone for notifications.....?
i dont think,but just to be sure

thank u

yes there is

 

[180jacob]

yes there is

I used the phone for about a year and am pretty sure there wasnt a notification led, but I did use the home button led for notifications using gravity box on exposed

Thanks for the reply. And do you have the links for that? What is it 4.1, or where you talking about the heat?

Rooting the N9770 is not so hard as many of you think, but you have to read and understand carefully!

installing CWM recovery:

- first look if you have android version 4.0 installed or android 4.1 (both CWM recovery's are attached, select correct one, unzip and put in a folder)
- open the flash tool, select the scatter file from the recovery folder and ONLY select recovery.img
- remove the battery from your phone and disconnect any usb cable from your phone
- push download in the flashtool and quickly connect the usb cable with the phone

Flashing should now start.
If not, you don't have the correct USB driver installed on your PC. Install and try again (USB driver attached_

ROOTING:

- put the CWM-SuperSU zipfile on your SD card
- Boot your phone to recovery (power and vol+)
- Select install zip from SD card and select CWM-SuperSU

Done, restart your phone, you are rooted now.

Here's the problem, I know this is old but when you Google this, this is what you get. There is the Original Star N9770 which has the firmware of 1809c-v77-gq1008_5647 that runs ICS 4.0.9 This FIRMWARE above will not work with this phone. Where can I get the 1809 firmware with jellybean or what am I talking about? Is jellybean included in the firmware or not? terminology? Help me out here?

Cracked touch screen digitizer! Help please!

Hello i hope everyone is cool.i have had my Star N9770 for about a year and a half.rooted and with cwm recovery works like a dream!
Oops! yesterday took phone outside and this once didn't bother to put in protective case.the law of sod occured and when i went to take the phone out of my bag it was like a slippery soap bar and cascaded to the ground.
As i feared the touchscreen was cracked in several places but it is still complete the lcd is not damaged and the touch screen works!
I have made enquiries on the net and a replacement touch screen digitizer is available in white or black at a very reasonable price.


Can anyone who has experience with this issue please advise me how to remove the broken touch screen digitizer and connect the new one.

From my experience the Star N9770 is a very durable piece of kit.And definitely worth holding onto.

Thank you in advance for your help and asissitance no matter how big or small

 

[Chrizzly92]

hi,
i did replaced my digitizer 2 times, nothing big there. just take a guitar plug and push it between the display and the digitizer. digitizer and glas are the same in this device. be careful, you need do disasable the device first and remove the plug for the touchscreen from the motherboard. you cann pull up your digitizer then. the new one comes with adhesive tape on the back, but just on a few places. i bought some 3M thin doublesided tape and put it on the free areas, so no dust will enter my device. no big deal at all, just be careful to not damage your lcd screen.

 

[TETCHYTECH]

Thank you for your help awaiting replacement part!

Hi Chrizzly92 thanks for your help once again i recall previously you helping me when my device was bricked.i am awaiting the replacement part which i have been told may take up to a month to be delivered.i have experience in opening up the back of the phone previously to locate the test point when my phone was bricked.can you explain how i access the motherboard to remove the plug of the touchscreen.

kind regards

 

[bmaz121]

sorry, my fault. i thought that e1809c_... is a different phone, because mine is e1909c. there is no Star N9770 with 1 gb i think, i never seen it anywhere. you can get different firmwares here:
http://www.android-world.at/handys-flashen/star-note-n9770-flashen-t14.html
make a backup of your devices firmware first!!!!!!!
you should only use _5647 firmwares, not _9p017 or _6628 firmwares, because the baseband and camera is different.

Thank You

Starting out with building a ROM

Hi all,

I'm starting out with the tutorial for developing my own ROM
(here: http://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/guide-android-rom-development-t2814763)

It says that I need to download the "Device Tree" (or "CM Tree"), "Vendor" and "Kernel" files for my device. Does anyone know where I can get these for the N9770? I have tried searching in here, but not had any luck finding them so far. My model shows as e1909c_v77_gq1008_a41_6628 if that's any help.

Thanks

Star Note rooted, ROM changed but camera can't focus!

Hi there!

First of all, thanks a lot to all the people who has contributed somehow in this thread to upgrade and optimize this smartphone. Boy, I am so glad that I bought it almost two years ago...

Here's my problem: I can't use the focus of the camera, as well as all the HID from the default app is upside down (the shutter button appears at the top of the screen instead of the bottom), and that's been bothering me for a while. I've already rooted the phone and did the 2Gb internal memory trick, it's been some months using it and no problems at all (well, I've lost some applications' compatibility when changing the ROM). I'd dare to say that I've even noticed some improvements with the battery but I really don't care as long as I don't have to charge it every 12 hour. Here is my phone info right now:

Model number: e1909c_v77_gq1008_a41_6628
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: V57
Kernel version: 3.4.0

And this is the factory phone info:

Model number:

I didn't have any problem with the camera back when I was using the factory ROM, anybody else has had the same problem?

Thanks again!

Hi ! I do have the same model like you , I managed in the past to root and install CWM , and I am wanting now to upgrade to 4.1.1 Android version. In the while , did you find any good tutorial about that procedure ?

Thanks

 

[Chrizzly92]

Peace,
u can install the following ROM to your device with Flashtool:

http://www.pandawillforum.com/soft/N9770-20130112_e1909c_v77_gq1008_a41_6628.rar
this is ne newest Factoryimage available for our device (e1909c board, 9p017 camera and 6628 combochip).
u should do a backup of your firmware first, in case you f+ck something up.

flashing this should not be a problem, unpack the content in a folder first and remove all chinese symbols. load the scatter into flashtool and give it a go. The firmware is something samsung themed, just in case you wonder. Its a real 4.1.1, you can upgrade to 4.2.2 with some remaining bugs if you get 4.1.1 working.

Thanks ! I will try to install this ROM tonight on to a defective device ( wi-fi can be difficult turned on , and few lines on touch screen doesn't work , and I'm suspecting the previous flashings made by someone else to be the culprit ) . I forgot to mention that I have 2 phones , same model, one is 4.1.1. rooted with CWM 5.05.5 installed and the second is mine , 4.0.9. , visible in my signature , it is only rooted with CWM_tyranosaurus_madnorb.zip method , and it works OK . I also use Linux Mint .. I wonder if this ROM of yours could be installed directelly using recovery menu ( Power + volume button ) . In fact I want to extract the stock ROM from mine 4.0.9. phone and flash it to the defective 4.1.1 . I'm still looking for the right method of extracting the ROM with scatter and boot.img , everything needed to create a flashable image .
