Always "Update failed"
I've tried all the different UPDATE.APP versions. And every one of them starts to unpack, and then, just as it's about to start installing,

The phone is totally stock from manufacturer, I haven't flashed or done anything.

Chinese Note II clone problem (Star S7100 - MTK6577)

Hi,
I have just bought a chinese Note II clone.
Code:
www dot cellphonemic dot com/mtk6577-android-phones/s7100-mtk6577
The phone seems to be unable to handle SIM properly. On every start I get the error message:
com.android.phone stopped
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SIM Toolkit is also unable to start. When I start or receive a call, the display goes blank or just flashes up for a moment. (This problem is resolved already, see here)
I was told it is most likely a firmware error. On searching, I didn't find this model or similar in the forum. I also tried several rooting methods described here without success.
Here are some details I could get from the phone:

I asked the chinese merchant I bought the phone from but he seems quite uncertain, although he promised to send a new ROM.
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance

Unfortunately is often quite difficult to get support for those Chinese clone devices. I hope you'll find someone that can help you but I think your best bet is to ask the seller for a replacement.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

At least I could root. Then I could try some custom ROM at my own risk.

Don't install ROMs from Galaxy Note II threads beacuse chinese versions of phones isn't the same that samsung's devices! You may brick the phone

It was never in my mind. This is why I posted here. But the question is still academic, since firmware update requires rooting (as far as I know) and I am unable even to root.

Proximity sensor
The problem of blank/flashing screen during calls has been resolved. The proximity sensor needed a proper calibration. I did the calibration many times so far, but not the correct way. I have just figured out how it should be done effectively.

pls teach me.

It is actually a simple process. Locate your proximity sensor, it is a small LED-like thing next to the speaker, on either side. Look for calibration of proximity sensor, you can find it usually amongst the display options. Tap on it, target-like concentric circles appear and the application asks you to place some obstacles over the sensors. The easiest way is to hold your palm above the sensor approx. 5 cm (2 inches) apart. Touch the Start button, and then try to complete the process with your hand motionless. The whole process takes a few seconds. If you did everything right, during a call, holding the phone to your ear the screen goes blank, and the phone application re-appears when moving the phone away.

Hi,
thanks for the response. How is your ROM working? Is it fully functioning, rooted or not etc.
How should it be installed? From SD card or by flashing application?
Send it anyway, having itself doesn't do any matter.
Thanks in advance

I have the exact same phone as you but mine seems to be working fine. I've tried to root it and there is no way I can find to root it. Especially since my boot menu is in Chinese! I would give you my ROM if I knew how.

I guess buyers should run the risk when buying clone phone. Asking replacement seems to be the answer.

You may try to flash the original factory ROM via Flash Tool, if your phone still can be recognized.
Btw. root access can be gained by replacing the Chinese recovery with CWM recovery, then installing SU from CWM recovery.

Successfully rooted
I have just successfully rooted my phone. The process was as follows:
I replaced the Chinese factory recovery mode with CWM recovery via Flash Tool.
Started the phone with CWM recovery and installed a superuser package from it.
If anybody interested, I can provide links to files needed along with description of the process.

Hi just joined this group
Can you post how you rooted the S7100 please
Been trying all day with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18
but phone will not root that way

Tell me the info please, I have been trying to root mine for days

Flashing CWM Recovery and install root
Download CWM_and_root_flash.rar from here.
Unpack the archive with its folder structure to a path not containing any special characters.
Flashing CWM Recovery:
Turn off the phone without connected to the computer.
Take out the battery and insert it back after a few seconds.
(If the driver is already installed, continue with step 5) Connect the phone to the computer with USB cable. The operating system will detect a new device - direct the wizard to the folder containing the driver (for your version of OS)
[*]When driver is installed, disconnect the cable from the computer.
Run the program SP Flash Tool.

}
Push the button Scatter-loading and select the file MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt (it is in the folder CWM Recovery).
IMPORTANT! Make sure, only RECOVERY is selected in the image list, otherwise the phone could stop working!
Push the button Download.
Connect the phone to the computer. The program should recognize it and start flashing.
If the phone is not detected, then unplug it from the computer, remove and insert the battery and re-connect to the computer.
Also the new hardware wizard may pop up again - just let it install the driver automatically.
When flashing is complete, disconnect the phone.
Boot the phone normally to check everything works properly.
Installing root (Superuser):
Save MT6577 blk0p3 Root by CWM-SuperSU 0.99 angelobiz.zip on SD card (internal SD card is preferred).
Turn off the phone and reboot it in recovery mode by keeping pressed Volume+ and Power buttons simultaneously.
You enter CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2 you have just flashed. (Navigate with V+/- and choose with PWR)
Choose "install zip from sdcard" from the main menu.
Either select "choose zip from sdcard" from the next menu if you saved the zip on the external SD card
or select "choose zip from internal sdcard" if you saved the zip on the internal SD card.
Navigate to the zip and press the Power button. When the installation process is complete, reboot the phone normally.
Superuser application is now installed and you can check the root status with a root checker application.

Cabletech Android Dongle URZ0193 [TCC8925] aka Plute iSMRTV

As an introduction, I ended up with this stick with no markings on inside or outside of casing, didn't even know the vendor. The build that was on the device when I first got it didn't even have the Google Play Store. This lead me to a (somewhat lengthy) look into this model. After a lot of fiddling, trawling and eventually playing, I wanted to bundle up everything I can on this stick as what I do know about it is spread wide and thin.

How to Root (thanks to tatubias)
Download file from here
Unzip cx-01.zip
Connect the dongle to your PC via Micro-USB cable. Ignore USB malfunction warning, PC will detect device once the dongle has finished booting (can take a few minutes, took me a while to figure this one out)
When the installation driver screen appears, select advanced option to select the folder driver from the file that you have unzipped
When driver installation is complete go to the folder Root-Script
Run Root-Script.bat
In Root-Script.bat window
7a - Select option 1 and verify the connection if OK
7b - Select option 2 and check if your device can be rooted (with this script)
7c - If its ok select option 3 when finished the dongle will be rebooted
That's all I have for now. AFAIK there isn't a custom ROM available for this device as yet. Wouldn't mind getting into it myself.

Thanks

Waiting for a custom ROM
Is it complicated to make a custom rom for this device ? How can I get source to start playing ?

Well here is the drama that was the other night. The firmware they have supplied doesn't flash, at least not onto my device. Tried it from a few different memory sticks and even from internal memory. Tried flashing the update.zip via ADB, no dice. Tried recovering it via ADB. I can get to the bootloader for fastboot, but for the life of me I can't get this firmware to flash.
The problem with the current firmware is that it doesn't allow you to log in with a Google account and therefore the Play Store doesn't work. Killing me. I don't know where to start as far as building firmware for this that I can flash either with the built in function or over ADB and I don't want to risk flashing the CX-01 custom firmware from the Pandawill forum in case I completely brick it.
Any help would be appreciated.

I manage to update mine but it's still 4.0.4
Before launching the upgrade in the about I got
Model Number : TCC8925_HDMI_DONGLE
Android Version 4.0.4
Baseband Version : Unknown
Kernel version : 3.0.8-tcc [email protected] #154 Mon Oct 8 10:53:30 CST 2012
Build number full_tcc8920st_emmc-userdebug 4.0.4 IMM76D eng.sunny.20121008.105834 test-keys
After upgrade
Model Number : ANDROID_HDMI_DONGLE
Android Version 4.0.4
Baseband Version : Unknown
Kernel version : 3.0.8-tcc [email protected] #364 Fri Nov 16 20:51:49 CST 2012
Build number Android-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D IMM76D eng.root.20121128.105154
So the new firmware seems to be newer but I can't see any news on this firmware
I also tried to change some stuff in the zip and sign it again but I didn't manage to update
BTW this is the Stick that I have
http://plute.en.alibaba.com/product...OOK_GOOGLE_PLAYSTORE_TWITTER_ANGRY_BIRDS.html

Internal nand is a aditional 4GB microSD card.

Hi,
I also have such a stick from Cabletech. Thanks a lot for the update link, I'll try it. What kind of power supply are you using?

I installed the new firmware, it looks that it is very good, the experience is very smooth. There is however a drawback, the Play Store is not working, it seems that everything connected to a google account is not working (Play Store, login to youtube). I suspect that the necessary applications are not installed since I don't have the option to add a google account.
I'll try to install the Google Apps from CM9.

Did you get the Google Play working? Did you try to restore factory settings?
Is the device working realy smoothly? It works not so well on stock
---------------------------
Edit
I upgraded device using the file. Just after update google services did notwork propertly, it was not possible e.g. to add gogle account or installing aplications from Google Play. I have restored factory settings and it started to work propertly. Device with new firmware works a little bit better...

Possibly you might use this firmware (check if your hardware is the same):

Hello,
thanks for the great information provided. i was able to do this, that you provided us with and much more but i ran into some issues (issues triggered by myself) and now i have to fix the android image. therefore i have a few questions:
do you have an image (done with dd [linux] or [win32diskimager]) of the internal sd card?
do you have any idea how to boot the device in recovery
do you know a method of installing self-made update.zip's?
the dongle is very much the same with cx-01 but the only thing missing is the button which would allow us to boot the device into recovery mode and flash *.rom files.

Unfortunately I don't have anything. I ended up trying to flash a ROM I found online, bricked the stick. I can still access via ADB, but need an image to flash and I don't have that. Haven't even looked at the stick since then.
If anyone has an image that can be flashed via ADB, please let us know.

That sucks... i have a working stick but no stock image to share. If you need it i can make a full sd card image (with dd) and share it. This would bring your stick to the factory settings + version 04 of the modds that float around for the cx-01. I had no time to look at the schematics and fit the stick with a button so now this is the only solution availabke.

Firmware Update
I have contacted with the vendor and have received following URL for Calbletech URZ0193 firmware update:
www dot lechpol dot eu slash model slash urz0193 slash - sorry fort unconvenience, but I can't put external links directly. So try remove spaces from the URL and replace "slash" and "dot" words with the characters .
represented by them.
Try it, I just received the mail with the update URL few minutes ago and I do not have any experiences with that update file.
Best regards

Can someone give any mirrot to update 1.1 if im opening lechpol page i need login and pass

This is a good budget device when compared to other devices from lead manufacturers like Samsung, Sony, LG or Huawei.
While searching on the internet I did find some Root & CWM installation methods.
I will be updating the relevant posts as and when needed.
You can look in the list below for what you want to do with your device.
ATTENTION!!! READ THIS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friend, there are two versions of this device in the market:
1. A706 (Chinese model)
2. A706_ROW (International Model)
The ROMs in this thread are only for the A706ROW model of this phone unless otherwise stated.
If you have the chinese model or another model A760 (which is a different model) then the ROMs in this thread are not for you.
Model A706 and A760 are two different models with almost same specifications. This DOES NOT mean that the ROMs of A706ROW are compatible with A760.
Please DO NOT confuse Lenovo A706 with Lenovo A760 as these are two different devices!!! Flash or experiment at your own risk!!!!
If you share a ROM link for any of the above devices, then please mention clearly the device for which the ROM can be used.
What to do with your Device ?

FOR NOOBS

Read the instructions (click on SHOW to read) before attempting anything from the list below!
First you need to have the Android SDK installed on your computer. Or atleast you need to have the adb & fastboot files available on your computer.
Here's a good post that tells you how to setup ADB and fastboot.
Here's a post that has a list of adb/shell commands for noobs.
Ok, once you are done with the setup of ADB & fastboot on your computer, then you can proceed with the below instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE FLASHING:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, I have noticed that many people after buying the phone are flashing any firmware to their phones and most of the time without checking the phone versions and the OS versions. In the stock firmware post, I had mentioned that people having the Chinese version of the phone should NOT flash the ROW (international) firmware otherwise it would mess up their phone and network etc.
SOLUTION FOR SIM ERROR & DOWNGRADING TO CHINESE ROM
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, some of the people have already done such a mistake and for those people (who are having SIM or network problems and want to go back to chinese ROM, I am sticking this post by danyno1 to the OP:

soloution for #2 problem:
Ok trying again to put my chinese device in ROW rom with sim signal, and found a solution:
1:Flash via droidboot a chinese stock firmware I used the 130325
2:Rooted device with vroot and installed CWM Recovery via ADB
3:In the procedure to install custom rom Qneon one of the steps is to flash boot.img via fastboot... well I just didn´t do this step and flashed directly Qneon_1.7.1.zip via CWM
4: Did data/factory reset, cache reset and dalvik cache reset
5:Reboot system

CWM Installation Instructions:
-------------------------------------------
Make sure you have all the drivers for your phone installed on your computer. Download for A706 from here. Some other Qualcomm drivers (not sure if required)
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled, Install from Unknown Sources is enabled and device is detected in ADB run this command:
Code:
adb devices
Download the CWM Recovery for A706 from here.
Unzip the downloaded file to get a "recovery.img" recovery image file.
Press SHIFT key + Right mouse click in the folder where the file is located and select Open Command from Here.
Now, in the command prompt do the following:
a. Reboot into Bootloader mode. Use command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
b. Device will reboot and display Lenovo logo. (check if device is in bootloader mode by running command:
Code:
fastboot devices
. If you see a device connected then you have successfully rebooted into fastboot mode.
c. Now, run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(This will flash the CWM recovery image to the device).
d. Once successful, reboot the device using this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
. Or, you can keep the power+vol up+ vol down buttons pressed to restart.​
If everything has gone well, this should get CWM installed on your device. Your device is still *not rooted*. Once you have installed CWM, please proceed to the ROOT instructions post to *root* your device.

Unzip the downloaded firmware, you will get a QSB file.
Copy the QSB file to the sdfuse folder that we created earlier on the root of SD card.

A menu will appear. Select the fourth option, SDUPDATE.
At the bottom of the screen, you can see the progress and status of the update
When you see the message "SDCARD UPDATE SUCCESS!!!", this means you successfully completed the upgrade process
Now, reboot your device and hopefully it should be updated.
That's it! If you guys have found any more firmware download links (even for different regions, build etc.) just share them with me along with details and I will add them to the list in this post.

scuderialoki, unfortunate that you got stuck. worked for me without any issues. i upped the same file that i used on mediafire. can you re-download the file and then check if the file is ok by extracting the zip using winrar or winzip? if it is ok then try flashing it again.

guliboy123, i will be putting the link and some instructions on the stock rom post soon. bear with me as i have to check the instructions from the russian/chinese sites and then put it up here. in the meantime, i suggest you take a backup of your current ROM (which is stock) using CWM and then try out the QNeon-Modern ROM. remember u need to flash that ROM using CWM.

gr8techie thanks for the reply. i really appreciate it. just downloaded the flashable cwm however it's still the same bro. lemme tell you something though. i rooted the devices before using framaroot and everything is ok but i had to do a factory reset through the settings app in A706. i still see the superuser app in the system apps and i cant uninstall it. when i open the superuser app in the drawer it's giving me an error that the su binary is not installed and su cant install it.

ok, please tell me if you have CWM installed on your device? I believe it is not installed. if this is the case, then you need to flash CWM and then try installing the zip again.
if it is installed then, i believe the super su from previous rooting maybe causing the problem. check on Playstore for a method to unroot your device. or google it. then you need to root again. hope this solves your problem.

thanks
Hi bro thanks for the reply i attached a screenshot of my root validation. I used an app to identify that. And by the way my recovery is installed. I the super su app is killing it

New page for our devices :good:
I had rooted my Lenovo A706 before You made this page You are faster than me , bro :laugh::laugh:

Mercury Pro - RCA Tablet BootLoop + No way to acess ADB to hard reset

Hi. I bought the Mercury Pro 7" prosumer tablet back in 2014. I installed a google account on it, forgot the password, beat the 10 opportunities, account (and RCA tablet) locked.
Soon after that, I tried to "hard reset" and "factory reset" this tablet, with all the things I found at the moment through forums, but everytime it came to restart, it will lock itself because I forgot my password and it will not allow me to enter nor my gmail account or any other password at all (no text dialogue).
A friend took it to some "expert android shop", but they never got to fix the small tablet (needless to say).
I remember the tablet came with Marshmallow (Android 6?).
It's 2021, and I thought to find the original ROM Image for this device. But tough luck, I haven't found one (from all the forums I've read, you either need to short-circuit or download a similar clone image for the processor and cross fingers so the wifi modem picks up the .img drivers).
In all and all, if anyone of you would be so kind to help me out with this 7+ year plead: I'd like to fix this tablet in 2021, please. Help me out.
The tablet can be switched on, but Loops itself in the "Mercury Pro" logo, after the dogs logo.
The tablet runs out of battery. I charge it up so that it can be turned "on" just 1 time and 1 time only, to access the Bootload menu by power + volume up.
The times I do this procedure, I wipe clean the dalvik cache, user cache, system cache, set the device to factory reset, and reboot after that.
Again, the 2 dog logo appears, but the tablet stops at the Mercury Pro logo in a loop.
Reset pinhole helps to enter the tablet's "hard reset" (power+volume up) boot menu. It reads:
Android Recovery v1.2
RCT6673W-V1MKC-Android6.0-v08-v1.15.0
- Reboot system now
- Reboot to bootloader
- Apply Update from ADB
- Apply update from SD card
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe Cache partition
- Backup user data
- Restore user data
- Root integrity check
- Mount / System
- view recovery logs
- Power off
(Supported API: 3)
In the remote case the so-called "android repair" shop installed a bad rom on this hardware, what are my chances to Factory reset - re-flash the original stock rom for this device?
The Screen works normally, this tablet doesn't have a hardware fail of any kind, it just loops-boot after the 2 dogs logo into "Mercury pro".
I've checked the tablet internally, there are no burnt connections or anything out of the ordinary. Hardware is intact.
Please help me.
Thanks.

Obviously I went for the VIEW RECOVERY LOGS:
--bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for localtime!
--bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for GTM!

Is this device also known as mercury tab 7?

@viktorrios
In the linguistic world of Android users, they often use the term "hard reset" for "factory reset", which means that the device is reset to the state it was in when it was launched. In official serious usage, there is no "hard reset" for Android devices.
Your issue is that phone is stucking at boot logo. That can't get fixed doing a "Factory Reset" or even by means of ADB and/or Fastboot. IMO you've to re-flash phone's Stock ROM what can be achieved if phone is accessible by means of ADB - what requires USB debugging got enabled on phone.

ok. this is one step forward.
Thank you for your reply.
I found this site, but it doesn't have the stock rom:
ROMs | RCA

Be careful download your stock rom from unverified/ unofficial websites. May contain malware

What makes me wonder is; I can access the fastboot menu, I can CLEARLY read the entire log, but the OS is not reached during boot (logo loop). What makes it possible that I have a corrupted library?
Also: If I could find the stock rom and flash it from an SD card: How possible is it from the fastboot menu?

For anyone else who is reading this thread, here's another site with ROMs:
RCA Download Latest Firmware | Flash File | CFirmware - Mobile Phone Flashing, Unlocking and, Latest Firmwares Available.
www.cfirmware.com

Fastboot hasn't a menu ( GUI ) it's a CLI.
Look inside here:

I found an explanation of one of the errors:
I: no boot messages
I: Open /cache/recovery/comand fail error= no such file or directory locale is [(null)]
stage is []
fb0 reports (possibly inaccurate)
The Unable to open DRM node: No such file or directory issue seems to indicate that there is no DRM driver running on your device (or that it failed to initialize). DRM support is a prerequisite for using this tool, as you can see. Most platforms supported by cedrus should also have DRM support, so you probably need to enable it in your kernel config and/or in the board's device-tree file.
Closing since this is not an issue of the tool but a setup issue instead.
I think I need to upload the entire message Log, maybe someone could help. So far I already know the "driver" is not booting and there is no mount of the OS. Everything else is there, and ready to receive an image. It seems the tablet was so wiped off that it doesn't even have an OS.

For anyone else reading, I remember I got this RCA tablet from Amazon years ago. They were out of stock. Recently they are selling the item again: https://www.amazon.com/RCA-Keyboard-Marshmallow-Charcoal-RCT6873W42KC/dp/B01M7TSY16
And guess what?
All along the ROM version my tablet had (from the so -called-experts in Android store in my story) put the wrong ROM version.
So Amazon indicated it is: RCT6873W42KC the rom.
Googling, I found: https://naijarom.com/rca-rct6873w42m
And the site looks legit. The scatter file is there and everything matches 1 to 1 to the STOCK image.
This site also has links: https://androidmtk.com/download-rca-stock-rom-for-all-models
My question now:
Whenever I plug the USB cable in my computer, (even after installing the ADB drivers), it says that windows 10 cannot recognize the USB device.
I am ready to flash using the SP Flash tool and the ROM file, but I can't -for the love of me- make contact from the PC to the tablet.
Could anyone help me with some work around suggestions, please?
Also: Why can't I just drag-drop all scatter ROM image to the microSD and Boot from recovery using "Apply update from SDCard"?

Ok so far everything was going full sail until I hit this brick road: Apparently I need a better USB cable. I've tried 3 different USB cables, but the device becomes unstable on win10 (switches on and off, and the "connected USB" sound dingles every 10 seconds.
Please help.

Is the stock rom for your device?
And the reason you can't just apply update from SD card is that the scatter rom doesn't have Meta inf and updater script. So the recovery can't install that

Yes, I checked this is the CORRECT Stock Rom for the RCA 7" Tablet Mercury Pro
I've also installed the "legacy hardware drivers":

After you installed the drivers did you restart you Computer?

No, I didn't restart the computer. Let me do that.
I also tried the "newest" micro USB to USB cable I have...
I hope this works.

This is a driver problem. https://tehnotone.com/windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-for-32-64-bit-drivers-installation-tutorial/ check this guide out. Don't use the drivers from the above site, just use the driver you instslled
