[Q] Help... China phone A4 Android 2.2 OS recovery needed. - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Hi,
I have a China dual sim Android 2.2 phone with 4.3" A4 (look like Droidx) is corrupted. Need the rom and help for recovery.
First, the IMEI is gone after I do a factory reset.
Thinking to restore all apps and get a replacement, then I accidently restore all system apps without realize permission setting (just copy back with RootExplorer).
Now, my phone is started without any apps running other than "Setting". All apps is missing, cannot be started up including Market, Browser, File Manager, terminal, Universal Root that installed previously.
When I boot into recovery mode, I do not see any option to update/run the update.zip.
Anyone have the rom for A4?
Any guide that I can used to recover?
How to put back the IMEI? I have the image of the IMEI sticker behind the phone.
Please help...
Thanks.

nv_data.bin
I could not locate any file under above name on H2000. They mfr may use a different name like I read in some post nvr_list.nvr or something like that. However I saw a directory named NVD_IMEI containing 3 files. I have no clue what these files are. Normally IMEIs are encrypted and altering IMEI is illegal. I am in the same boat like you but in my case the phone never detected SIM(s) like DOA. I am returning the unit to the vendor as altering anything may void the warranty I have.
To me it looks like an epad Android is loaded and thru some additional patches the unit is made to work as a phone as well. Else I wonder how one will explain your situation that SIMs are not detected after factory reset.
I found that Android Market does not work thru wifi - as I can use only that at present - if the encryption is WPA2-AES but works well with WEP! I could browse well via WPA2.
And different wifi profiles does not seem to be assigned to different wireless networks as my WEP settings like fixed IP, etc except passphrase remained the same on WPA2-AES which uses DHCP and I had to disable fixed IP!. This could be a common problem on all Android sets.
May be some Android expert will help you with flash backup if you could post what exactly the problem that you face when you try to install ROM backup sw.

H2000 and A3000
Best of luck.
I have seen two versions of A3000 available. One with 2.1 and the other with 2.2 versions of Android. The 2.2 ver phone is resistive screen with dual SIM while the other one is capacitive with single SIM. I have also read that those with A3000 landed with same problem after factory reset.
I have seen a version of A3000 ROM available in some site - sorry I do not remember - but the file name is DZA3000-20110215.zip, but no idea if it is 2.1 or 2.2.
However if no backup is possible how do you plan to restore? I am also too keen to learn having bought H2000. Hope someone comes to the rescue. ASAFIK restore is not supposed to be having any control over IMEI and few other stuff. Hence if *#06# yields "invalid" value I wonder how it will help. Hope you succeed.
Some good guys out there... HELP!

thx

Hello, i have same problem, i got 5pcs of H2000 2 weeks ago and they all working fine with the factory reset, i sold 4 and keep 1 for me, now i just got 15pcs and they all have this problem, i noticed that they do not have the same Build number
build number without problem : ALPS.10Y.W10.48.MP.V1.06
build number with problem : ALPS.10Y.W10.48.MP.V2.03
i will try to update one of my phone to see if it solve the problem, i have rooted the phone with z4root and it seem to work, i can connect with ADB.
The ROM is not mine. And I don't know what to do with the official software files (ROM, root software...), that is the problem I have!
You already have the most dificil to get (all factory software that I share in megaupload link in my last post).
The files that i shared in link is the Oficial China Factory software to install in new ones H2000, but i don't know how to do that.

H2000 coming back to life
Hi guys,
I lost my baseband software after the factory reset with Build version V2.03.
All it said was Baseband "unknown".
After reading forums for 3 days and trying different solutions I got the baseband back. My solution: in ADB type "wipe data" then reboot!
Dual sim is working again and the baseband version is back to normal.
I lost my IMEI numbers, but I hope to be able to correct that later this week.
I know how to make backups of the partitions in the phone (system/recovery/boot.etc). Unfortunately I am still unable to flash the backups into the phone. My phone ROM doesn't contain the "flash_image" command... so I'm stuck on how to flash the images back into the phone.
@vramool: It could be a good idea to try to flash the "ALPS.10Y.W10.48.MP.V1.06" version into the updated phones, just to avoid that someone makes a reset to defaults again.
Can anyone give me a pointer on how to get the img back into the phone with ADB or another software?
Let's work together and I'm sure that we will find a solution soon!
Cheers
Hello, i spend all day looking to backup my ROM from my working device to flash all my other one and I cannot find a way to install NANDROID to backup / restore rom.
from what i have read, the phone need a custom recovery rom to be able to install NANDROID.
I just tried the *ADB WIPE DATA* and it failed for me.. after reboot i still not have baseband version on my phone will try again...
H2000 and A3000
The Baseband version given by hitjock is different from what is shown in a pic in site for APhone - H2000
Take a look at dhgate, aphone-4-4gs-wifi-gps-3-5-capacitive-h2000 specs and pix particularly the second pic.
The flash file posted by zzappo contains SPMultiPortdownload tool. I am not sure if this can be used to load the phone with a given flash. I could point to Android text file for scatter file 1 but what bin file to select for the flash bin file is a big question for me. Besides will it work with the USB cable supplied or need a special cable is not known.
A sub directory named RFDAT contains info about radio control via some ini files.
With NANDROID I did not get any error after installation of Busybox after starting up NANDROID. I downloaded Busybox when NANDROID demands after it has started. It reports root access is OK and Busybox install is OK. I have yet to do a ROM backup.
Hope somebody succeeds..

Wipe data can also be performed by holding vol + and - buttons together and powering on. You can wipe cache too.

@kayyapan: How did you get Nandroid and busybox to work on the H2000?
I have tried everything. ROM Manager tries to install clockwork on my phone and this resulted in no more access to the recovery console....
Can you share how to get this to work on H2000?
TIP: I found that if you press the volume up + camera + power on for at least 10 seconds, the phone will go into factory test mode and gives you a menu. I was not able to select any of the menus.....
cheers!
Factory reset of H2000
When you start up in recovery mode use home and menu button in the bottom to move and select. You can use volume + and - to navigate too. First press Home. Navigate with vol + or -, select with Menu. To wipe data/factory reset go to "delete all user data" then press menu.
Since there is no APK for NANDROID I used ROM Manager with Busybox. May be I have mislead you by saying NANDROID worked for me. Sorry. My problem is with creating ext2 partition with ROM Manager. It does not boot to its own recovery. I get to start with same recovery with vol + and - and PUP button.
sdsplit does not work! It says not found.
Even assuming that it is possible to back up the current ROM as fallback how does one restore any other flash to try?
Hitjock was lucky that wipe data worked for him.

[Q] Droid X2 in boot loop

Hey guys, tried to flash speedyscriptv6 over the alien rom and now the x2 wont boot. I went into android recovery to find my backups but they seem to not exist. In the folder it has the name of my 3 backups but then when I select one nothing is in the next part of the filepath and I can only go back to the list of the three. Upon discovering that I tried to just wipe the cache and factory reset to go back to the original gb that came on the phone and I could simply restore something from there but it still wont boot. Anyone know how I can restore one of these backups or go back to factory.
I'm running the system recovery app and have made 3 backups, one on the original rom, another on atrix 4g, and the last on alien. I'm also running titanium root pro with a backup from today so restoring from just about any condition isnt a problem for me. Thanks for any help guys and so if this is somehow a repeat question but I couldnt find an answer.
attempted to flash the gingerbread sbf but rsd says chipset type 53 not supported???
also getting the unable to retrieve initialization values error, 0x7029
finally figured it out, I updated rsd to a random 5.3.1 version and the problem went away, back to stock gingerbread, and awesome that rom manager is now available for the x2 but its failing to boot into its recovery mode.

[Q] Information about ADB manual backups

Hey guys,
I've broken my Nexus 4, it felt out of my table and the front glass is cracked and the touchscreen unresponsive. However, I can see everything on it and can power the phone normally and such.
The phone is unlocked and rooted, running the stock Android 4.2.1.
I'll send the phone back to the repair center so they can give it a new screen and, obviously, wipe out the phone.
I've already used adb to copy my /sdcard into my computer, but I would like to backup everything that could make the process of using the phone after the repair less painful. I'm unable to run the adb backup utility since I can't unlock the phone as it requests.
I'm right now trying to copy /data into my computer. Is it of any use?
Is there anything else that I can backup before sending the phone out?
Ideally I would like to be able to, after getting the phone back, unlock it, maybe install the Paranoid Android ROM, root it, and then put back applications, settings, pictures, etc etc
Thanks in advance!

since the phone itself still works, and the unresponsive screen is the only issue, you might be able to make a nandroid backup (complete backup of everything on phone-apps, settings, etc.)
I assume you probably have a touch based recovery on your phone like twrp or cwm touch. This is obviously an issue.
To counter this you could try using fastboot to flash clockworkmod non touch recovery. This allows you to use the volume rockers and power button to navigate.
To flash the recovery install all the correct drivers, and download the non touch cwm and place it your fastboot directory. Then boot the phone into the bootloader, and use this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery file.img"
Then from there you can boot into recovery, go to backup and restore, and finally make a nandroid backup. From there you could copy the backup using adb onto your computer. (the backups are stored in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups)
Thanks! I'll try that.
I think I tried before but it didn't work because I had little free space, and for some reason I gave up (thinking I was doing something wrong or going to try something else, I tried a lot of things during those days).
And then to restore that backup into the fixed phone I'll flash CWM again and use it's restore function, right?
Would there be any issue to install a custom mod (such as Paranoid Android) and then restoring this backup?
On a sidenote: on my Nexus 4 (without real sdcard) the clockworkmod folder is located at /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod.

Yep once you get the phone fixed/replaced, you may need to reflash cwm and copy the backup back onto the phone (if they wiped it)
Then just use the restore option in cwm.
If you install paranoid android, then restore the backup, it will restore to whatever rom you had when you took the backup.

Boo =(
Ok, let me try another idea: I could get the phone back, restore it normally as we said with CWM, and then use TitaniumBackup to backup apps and settings, then save that to my computer, install Paranoid and then use TB to restore the useful stuff back into the new ROM?
I should just take care on not backing up system stuff, right?

Yep thats probably your best bet. Although I would avoid backing up/restoring system stuff with TB as it causes lots of bugs.
Just use TB to backup apps+app data, and you can restore them after installing PA. There shouldnt be any problems

F***ed up badly, now downloading factory rom, need help to continue

Hi guys, I just registered @ xda because it looks like it's the only serious and feedback active community available. In 10 minutes I found most of the info I was looking for, but I still want to make sure what Im planning to do is fine before I mess up again. Here's the issue:
I was fooling around with the tablet and had just rooted it so I could get rid of some bloatware, and decided to go further and install cyanogen, just for the looks. So I got this thing cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-p3110-M3 from the official site, which was I put on a folder inside the tablets storage (not on the 16gb SDcard it had in it). I downloaded Rom Manager and skipped through the "search and download rom" and went for the option of looking for it inside the SD card. I had the Backup options and the wipe cache and data ON.
So I proceeded and it booted, started to do the backup and at some final point it had an error, something like "could not backup Data!". I had the options of rebooting, some other stuff and the option of installing a rom from the SD Card. I went for it and searched for the .zip inside the storage, and installed it. It did it withouth trouble, and when it finishd it prompted me to install an update, which I didn't (don't know why).
Then, I went for the reeboot option and when it started I get the normal samsung's black screen with the device's name on it, but then I get a fast glitching image that sweeps through the screen and the cyanogen startup logo which gets stuck for ever.

Now Im past it, I can get to download or recovery mode, so I moved onto getting the original firmware so I can clean-install again. I got it from sammobile, chose the one belonging to Chile (that's where I got the tablet), and it's 729mb of data. The tablet is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3110
If I flash it with Odin will everything be fine? All I have to do is that thing in downloadmode when I rooted it, but with that 729mb file? Should I put it in the external SD or is it more convenient to place it in the internal storage?
I appreciate your help in advance, I know this is as basic as it gets but messing up again would cost me dearly, since I have to do other stuff.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900055 read here, all the information you will need.
It's fine to flash through odin, you will back at stock provided you don't overlook small details and do exactly like the way it is shown. Don't worry, Don't panic. Just be careful to use the files meant for your device only. Second be extra careful when you are dealing with kernel file, pit file or reparation in odin in future.
Third, get root and custom recovery,twrp.
Fourth, after your device start running take backup from twrp recovery. That will save you from most of the trouble.
Most of the details and instructions are already here

hey thanks a lot, im feeling better ow. There's just one issue left: I cant download the original firmware (it's 699mb, and the download keeps stopping midway through it). What happens if I go into clockwork recovery mode and do a factory reset? would that bring me to the original OS? Im kinda scared of downloading an erroneous file again.
EDIT: im doing a factory reset and then flashing this rom called AOSP Project Android 5.1.1 Lollipop on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3110 which is a 161mb file. Will that work?

Factory reset is just clearing data and cache, if you have made changes in kernel or system, factory reset won't reset them, in your case, system has been altered so you will have to format system, then flash the new rom. If you were on jelly bean stock, you are good to flash it.

You guys have helped me a lot. I've worked everything out and now i've got to reinstalling android on it, AOSP's 5.1.1 Lollipop. It's beautiful. There's just one problem: Since it came with no apps at all, I wanted to install everything on it again. Problem is, when I go to google play, it shows that i've already got my apps installed, so it wont let me download them, and it doesn't matter if I place the APK's inside the tablet as there's no manager to open them. Even if I download apk's through the tablet's own web browser, it says it can't open the file. Any ideas on this?
