[BETA]>How to gain Root access permission within device
The devices can be rooted using an android application called Z4ROOT
Connect you device to internet and go to goo.gl/sPE6L from any browser or go to the link from your computer to download the file
transfer the file to your device if you downloaded it in your computer and open ES File explorer to browse the file
click on Z4root_1.3.0.apk and install it in internal memory
now go to app drawer and open Z4root
click on temp root (don't worry if it hanged or suddenly stopped, just remove the battery, put it back on and boot the device)
now click on permanent root and wait for the device to restart
you can always revert back to stock root access permission by click on the un-root button,
Some applications can cause damage to the root access permissions, you can re root your device using Z4ROOT
This application was originally designed for Android Froyo 2.2 with different hardware, therefore chances on the application not working properly are high
>How to solve the low space issue
1.you can backup and delete any pre-installed application using applications like Titanium backup which is available on Google Play for free (dont delete an app unless you are sure its not a system app or you will damage your device software and you have to sent it to service centre)
Install the app
open the app and go to backup/restore
select the app you want
swipe the screen toward right to go to backup properties from special features
click on backup if you want to backup the app
click on un-install to delete it
2.you can mount a SD Card partition to move your non movable applications into your SD Card using applications like Link2SD which is available on Google play for free
Google on how to create a Second partition for your SD Card to work with Link2SD
choose FAT partition as the 2nd partition only as the device's stock Kernel does not support EXT2/3/4 partition
now install the Link2SD
open it and choose FAT16/32
>How to increase the overall performance
Google for SetCPU to be able to reduce CPU battery consumption
use the device's stock Task manager to stop unneccery applications running in the background and dont use a Task killer application
Google for Swap to have Virtual RAM
Google for ChainFire 3D Pro to be able to run applications with high graphics

did u realy check this before posting, it is not working as this set is android 2.3.6.i tried sevaral days and nights,no luck.always com.z4root stopped unexpectedly error
:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

can somebody tell me if this is a rebranded chinese phone or not and if it is then which??

Not working
Can somebody please help? I tried following the steps, but when i select temporary root, the app closes by itself after sometime. If I then try to run the app again, I am just given an option to force close saying that something has gone wrong with the app. Restarting the phone and trying permanent root does the same. Any help will be appreciated.

Its made by Spredtrum, but there isn't any record of other Chinese phones with same hardware

its strange that the Z4root method is not working, lots of users rooted with no problem, try factory restarting your phone and and run the program again

can somebody plzz tell me that it is clone of which phone???????

the ROMdump is now available, can someone help me create a flashable zip file

is it also a clone of any chinese phone is yes than we can use its stuff for this phone's development that why i am asking that is it a clone or not.

Update 12.04.2013: Different Sound improvements
People who have problems with sound try this link from Zopo-Forum
or from Patchworkoftips
Update 11.04.2013: Data Resize partition to 2.74GB Detailed description from here
1. We backup with recovery.
2. Unloaded and 2.74GB decompressed data (Thx to spanish friends! ).
3. SP Open Flashtool and as we have done before installing the recovery in scatter-loading MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt select the file in the folder where we unzipped 2.74GB Data
4. We ensure that only EBR1 and EBR2 are marked.
5. We Give to Download, accept the prompt, connect via USB the phone off the PC. As with the recovery if the process fails, disconnect the cable, remove and put the battery and repeat this step.
6. If all goes well, will back the green circle. Disconnect the phone from the PC.
7. Now we go back to recovery (Turn on the phone by holding the power key + volume +).
8. In the recovery do wipe data / factory reset.
9. Optionally if you want to restore the data and installed applications we advance restore, choose the backup you made ​​in step 1, and finally we give to Restore data.
10. Reboot from recovery. In this first boot after repartitioning we may see a notification saying the phone storage is damaged, then click in it. It will show a dialog box asking if you want to format the SD card, does not refer to the External SD but the phone's internal memory, so we do not fear clicking on Format. After doing the latter, voila, you have the Data partition (where apps are installed) extended to 2.74GB
Update 08.04.2013: 3G improvement

I've got a quad core 6589 version, so far cannot find a way to root it..
And it's NetworkLocation.apk is missing, i tried a couple of NetworkLocation.apk from JellyBean gapps zip files, no one seems to work, either not installable, crash on boot or not working.
3G connection seems to be dodgy, H/H+ is shown on the top bar but data is not coming down normally, during 1 minute, only less than 100k data come down and not able to load even 1 page...
Anyone has the same problem?
Cheers,

star b943 (mtk6589 b94m)
could someone translate recovery menu from Chinese Language

Yes the baseband or antennas seems to be crap.
Start download and remove your hands from the device or take it only with two fingers on the upper side, then my downlads finish and downloads show normal values. Speedtest with upload is seems to be fine,...
If someone needs root or cwm write me pm, or give me public upload location I´m not so experienced with this,...
Best regards

Thanks for the advice

The MT6589 is really good stuff, for me its my personal Favorite , but I would prefer smaller devices with 4-4,7" max screensize.
5,5" and higher does not really fit in any shirt pocket. If I ever have to carry a bag for my phone I would prefer a tablet with much better screens and battery life.
So i´m looking forward to Jiayu G4, G5, UMI X1S, or something similar screensize

B94M/B943 quad
Thank you everyone for your hard work and time. I have very little experience (twice with well established models)
I was wondering if someone could clean up the txt instruction translation so someone like me can avoid brick making. Even adding better detail would be sweet. I will copy below. Thanks in advance.
"ATTENTION: The Star B94M is available as dual and quad core version!
The tools here refer exclusively to Star B94M MTK6589 or B943 quadcore devices!

7. When switching power and Vol + hold when the Green Man comes release Power and Vol + hold on.
8. In CWM now either only make complete backup, or install zip from SDcard install the superuser zip ...
9. skip step 7 +8 and install superuser using the MTKdroidtools and make backup (but it takes a relatively long time)
10. You can now delete with MTK Droidtool some China-apps."

The MTK chipsets have always been weak on data connection starting from the MTK6573. It's so bad that connection can be lost while my Samsung right beside it has a good connection.
Anybody knows what is wrong with this China made phones?

I managed to root. Thanks for the help guys (sarcasm).......The files that "cmoegele" posted worked except for the usb driver files. I had to use PdAnet for connection. I'll be watching to see what other members find on the camera focus and poor data comms.
Thank You

Data upload is stable, and downlad has good values for a while, but slows down from time to time. So I think the device is not doing completly wrong. There needs to be still some finetuning in Baseband and Rom like man other devices always need.
The performance and quality is really good, even +2 days Batter lifetime is a good value for this powerful device.
I´m waiting for new Roms

Hi fmehrtens, may I know the RAM and ROM capacity of your phone model? I am wondering if 8GB ROM and 1GB RAM model can be rooted using same method, thanks.

Spec says 8GB ROM and 1GB RAM, however AnTuTu shows only 1GB ROM and 1GB RAM. Am I missing anything here?

Hello,
I've ordered this new phone Star One B943 Quad core, and i want to thank u for the rooting method ^^
I'm searching for the ROM stock, does anyone have the idea where i can find it ?
And i found that the Miz Z1 is the same phone, but with Android 4.2.1 installed. Do u think it's possible to upgrade the Star OS version with the Miz Z1 firmware ?

It is a 4G ROM and 1G RAM. Just FYI, the first time I tried to root it did not root, I had to try it a couple of times, and then I also loaded the ZIP file on the ROM memory along with the SD card. It worked that time. Not sure if that's what helped or not. The phone is a really nice phone ecpecially after rooting. I am also having trouble with Amazon App store app, Netflix playing too slow and the camera focus.
Good Luck and Thanks!

I have got a Copy of the origin Rom done with SPFTools. If it is needed. You also can use the Scatterfile from the zip-file.
Do you have a link for the 4.2.1 Miz Z1 firmware ? Perhaps its a fake,...
Otherwise I will flash it to our device except the Preloader, so if it fails I could go back to stock.

May I know the country you using the phone in? I have very bad experience with MTK chipsets with regards to data transfer. Other phones e.g. Samsung, LG do not give me this problem.
How to improve the data performance?

MicroMax Canvas 4 Stock Rom Rocks Spice mi 535 Pinnacle PRO

Dear Friends,
I am porting MicroMAx Canvas 4 stock rom to Spice mi-535 Phone. One of the reader has expressed his wish and I just compiled from my sgtored data.
It is AROMO based and almost all credit goes to AntoBarre, whose rom was downloaded by me from the www.needrom.com site.
You find below some the screens shots.

}
The Rom is uploaded to Google Drive: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bz8Fgu4wkBnqQ3EwRUd4eXJraVk/edit?usp=sharing
Installaion procedure:
Please back up your previous ROM, Data and what all you wanted to save yourself in case if something goes wrong.
1. Download and copy the SPICE-MAX ROM .zip file to your external sdcard.
2. Wipe all data , system and catche
3. wipe dalvik catche
4. Install the ROM which you have down load and when it boots up wait for some seconds or one minute.
5. Now If you do not want wait more than 2 or 3 minutes you can remove the battery and re start your phone.
Then phone immediately will start with update screen.
This is pre rooted one
Enjoy.

1. After installing this rom go to storage and see the changes there.
Your external sdcard will become your internal sdcard. If you are using 64 GB, then the entire sdcard can be used as internal and if you are fond of games, it will be faster and there may not be any lack.
The external sdcard will show a storage close to 2GB only. Hence you have to delete the storage to getback your 16 GB internal storage.
Before deleting, be careful, and read belwo:
As internal and external sd card has changed its positions, some times, you may not notice your earlier internal sdcard after phone storage.
you simply save the contents of the internal sdcard ( that one displayed as external sd card - some time only about 2 GB satorage will be shown), either using ES file manager or after usb debugging, you store in your laptop/desktop.
Now Erase this storage, after copying if you need otherwise do not bother.
Do not erase your external sd card ( that is shown as internal sd card in the display)
Now you will get back your 16 GB internal storage.
Now you can use this to store your apps and data or you can store in your actual external sdcard.( which is shown as internal sdcard here).
You can register your SPICE 535 as CANVAS -4 and get the services from Micromax, if you want.
APEX settings is available to ease your operation and change what all you need as per its limit.
In my personal one I have also used Touchwiz.
Use Xposed Installer and gravity box and make your phone equivalant to any other so called top class phone.
I am yet to analyse the advantages over other ROMS. But this one I feel is better than the stock SPICE Mi-535.to my experience and taste.
The quality of photo is good as equal to Micromax 13 GP one.
If you meet with any problems please write here.

HOW TO CHANGE imei IN YOUR MAX OR SPICE
puduraja said:
Thanks

Click to collapse
Dear Reader,
I am getting questions about how to change IMEI and IMEI is invalid how to correct it.
Open ES explorer / Root explorer or any other tool and make your phone system to accept read and write. Norrnaly I use Android Root Tool kid. Open the tool kid and go to Remount option and in that make the System ----> read / write and (rootfs) read/ write. Also try to save your root.
I thought of using the reply channel to give the simple tutorial here.
1. Remove your battery and look at the scribes there. You will notice IMEI numbers there.
2. Just write down these numbers in a sheet. or store it in your system desktop.
3. You should have rooted phone.
4. Goto play store and install Mobileuncle MTK tool.
5. Open the mobile uncle tool and scroll to Engineering mode and click it.
6. Go to MTK section and click it.
7. You find Engineering mode pop up at the top and below it you notice the row with different section.
8. In that section you just slide and tap the connectivity section.
9. In the connectivity at the column below you touch CDS information
10.In the pop uo you tocuh the Radio information and you will get pbone 1 and below that phone 2.
11. Now you touch phone 1 and in the popup you touch the AT+
12. Once you touch the Key board will pop up. In the key board you type any single letter and cancel only the letter you have type.
13. Immediately you can notice the scribes that is required for you It looks like AT+EGMR=1,7""
14. you touch the first row and after 7 you can notice the simple "" and in that two inverted commas you delete one at the end.
15 after deleting that, just type the 15 degite number you have written down in the point no 2 here.
16. Verify your typed numbers and close the inverted commas "
17. Then touch the row which says SEND AT COMMAND
18. Once the pop up display indicates AT command successfully send.
It is all over for one of your sim, you have got the valid imei number.
Now repeat the same for phone 2.
This exercise is not required if you have saved your IMEI number using the same Mobile uncle tool. This tool has IMEI backup restore facility.
Just use that facility and back up your imei number not only in your mobile keep a copy some where in your laptop/ desktop.
If you have already saved and backed up there is no need for the above exercise.
thanks.

I have downloaded
I am yet to try due to off.workload

One Issue I have seen - Once you restart the phone, it forgets the accounts that are added except Google.
Every reboot, you have to enter password for FB.

Kindly go to settings and then to backup &reset. Tick both Back up my data and Automatic restore.
Reboot or restart your phone. Kindly verify and report. If it fails to remember password and other accounts, please inform and I will look into the problem.
Note:
If you need I have a set of mixed S4,Xperia N9500 and Note 3 Roms cooked to suit the Spice Mi-535 and I am using it. Now and then some problems arises if you can be able to manage those minor corrections yourself then I can port this custom ROM that has partly Android 4.3 ROMs, 4.2.3 ROMS with basic Spice rom. It needs SPFT flashable nvram.bin to get stock network and Mac back again.

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...

ok sir... Im still waiting for my fuze...

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

How to do screenshot..

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)

LeWaOSV5.1 for CMFuze
- apps that show as 0.00kb in "All" and "Downloaded" are now shown ok
- added engineering mode to settings
- corrected some misspeling in english translation
- etc.

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.

Sir, how can i install xposed installer properly? I'm getting bootlooped both in MIUI and LEWA rom. I really need this for greenify. Thank you in advance.

If you unbricked your tablet and your touch isn't working, there is no need to worry. @andrei_kr has provided a guide on how to fix that touchscreen. Credits to him.
NOTE: If your touch is working then do not try this, it will mess up your touch!!
You probably got this touchscreen issue by flashing a different kernel with incorrect drivers.
Now your configuration is likely to differ from the native. You can view the konifig in command prompt or in the terminal :
Code:
cat /proc/gt9xx_config
(only mtk) or using the gtp_tools apk (it is in the attached file below).
It starts with the byte sequence: 0x41 0x1C 0x02 0xC0 0x03
0x41 - 65 version
0x1C 0x02 - 540 horizontal resolution
0xC0 0x03 - 960 vertical resolution
Touch must somehow work to press the button, if there is support otg, then it's easier, you can connect a mouse.
1. Install the gtp_tools_v2.6_20140126_special.apk
2. Go to the option Firmware update. Click refresh, see IC Version: 913_1020 then touch GT913 firmware and 1020.
3. Go to the option Config Settings, press read, the data were considered. Under Normal Config we have:
65 version
540 horizontal resolution
960 vertical resolution
4. Click browse, select click browse to the native config.
5. Native configuration take from your device, in the same paragraph, press the save (saves the backup config file). Native configuration for Fly IQ446 in the attached file. Press send.
6. If nothing has changed, look at the version you have and native config. Then change the version of the file in the native config in your hex.
Example: 0x41 = 65 home, a stranger 0x49 = 73 => replace the 0x41 to 0x49.

Thanks for report.

First want to say much thanks for this thread, it was getting frustrating trying to find a solution.
I have encountered a slight issue trying to unstuck 2 of these devices.
neither have been rooted and are stock devices.
i cant seem to get cwm to locate the backup that you supplied.
do i need to copy it to the cwm backup folder on my sd card?

Yes you do. Copy it to your sd card. Btw if your device is stock why do you want to restore this one?

NuVision TM101A510L
Will this method work with the NuVison TM101A510L. It seems like a lot of work to do if I'm not sure about this model. Also I have a problem with this model overheating and crashing when I play Pixel Gun 3d and it's pissing me off. I just fired off a curse filled missive to NuVision support. They don't even list this model on their registration page and it seems they have no faith in this model. I will never buy this brand again, in fact I would recommend against it to my customers. I've used Azpen tablets with no problem rooting or playing Pixel Gun 3d. I took a chance and I'm so damned sorry I did.
;angry

Thank you so much for this thread!!! I have been looking for a recovery for a few months now and cant believe I didn't find this until now...

ok so a minor problem... I cant seem to flash the recovery... Not sure if ive placed the recovery file on my sd card properly or not cause i locate a few backup files none of which have any effect. I gave up in frustration untill now. ( Currrently working on a few androids one rooting one imea changing so figured id take a crack at these devices again. THe layer of dust on these things are getting a bit thick.)

I think the models numbers are specific so I can't say for certain that this will work with your tab. Try the fastboot/rooting procedure first and then maybe you can just restore the system partition only not corrupting the boot/kernel.

You're welcome. I waited months also before finding a working backup.

You are using the fastboot method correct? If the recovery script says finished as in no errors show on the screen then it could be the device itself. What do you see?

ill let you know just as soon as i can get back to working on those devices... im prety sure if memory serves correctly, that I was getting some errors regarding unable to mound sd or ext sd. I could be wrong but thats what comes to mind.
Im up to my neck in jobs on other devices. (rooting galaxy S5, changing imei on another S5, IMEI change on a LG Stylo 2 plus, Galaxy Tab 2 system issues need to diagnose, and several screen and lcd replacments)

STUCK
ok so i have a little time to work on these....
When i run the launch.bat and get to fastboot, it goes through the instalation and everything checks ok till the very end where it says failed cause too many links.
included the screenshot so you can see.
At this point im unsure if i just need to try flashing the supersu zip like it instructs but having tried befor it had no luck.
can I not just flash twrp on this thing then su like with most root methods?

after ive flashed super su, when i go to restor the working backup i see a list of backups... including yours but when i select it i always get :
checking md5 sums...
md5 mismatch!
what now?
(i tried just flashing the boot but even that comes back with same error)
I know on other devices the recovery is an img file any the one you provide is a rar... i extracted to my desktop and was gonna try flashing with abd/fastboot but since its not an img file, im thinking it wont work...
any thoughts?
Im still unsure how to flash the recovery that u supply in the section for fixing bootloop....

The too many links error is common for this device. Touch doesn't work with TWRP on this device so CWM is out only go. You can root and using cwm like any other root method.
