Hello!
Good links. I tried to read the all 18 pages translated by google, but the translation is not very good.
Could you speak russian?
Must I have such a cable to adjust the IMEI after updating?
On my A3000 version (dual sim android 2.2) the GPS is not working and the other forum explains that this could be solved by a new firmware version...

I speak russian.
those ROM has two problems: GPS Doens't work and Market application defective.
Flashing this ROM might be a huge mistake (IMHO)
Let's wait and see

hi friend, u have found other russian Rom work with a3000 ? Pls send link. Thanks

The A3000 i recently bought has no GPS chip in it, the battery does not charge, and the resistive touchscreen has a large dead spot on it. It seems there are several hundred versions of the A3000 and I doubt the ROMs from one will work on the other because the hardware varies so much.

i have buy this model A3000. Arrive today. The firmware version is
e1000_pxht2 2011/0/22
is rooted ;-)
i think is last firmware found on this forum.... try upgrade your telephone at this firmware.

Hi!
To root the phone use z4root (permanent root. temporary root doesn't work!). Also install TitaniumBackup and backup all applications from phone (WARNING! It is NOT full backup!)
There are good thread at russian forum for flashing this phone, ROMs for it and related problems/bugs. -- http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9519&start=760
If you do not understand Russian and translate.google.com cannot help you, I may provide some essential information from there soon.
First of all, perform full backup of your phone! Otherwise you can lost IMEIs after reflashing OR restoring to initial settings.
For FULL backup of your phone use this manual -- http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?uid=76043&f=31&t=11788&start=0 See text under "Сливаем прошивку" spoiler there.
Backup also content of /nvram forder from phone.
I also recommend you perform backup of all files from phone using tar utility.
Tar you can get there -- http://groomws.info/index.php?title=AndroidNativeBinaries
Copy tar binary to sd-card.
Commands for tar backup:
Code:
su
cat /mnt/sdcard/tar > /data/tar
chmod 0755 /data/tar
/data/tar -cvpf "/mnt/sdcard/rootfs.tar" --same-permissions --same-owner --verify --exclude="/mnt/sdcard/" --exclude="/sys/power/wait_for_fb_wake" -C "/" "./"

Ok !
thank you so much !
No i don't speak russian either chinese !
I'll try in an hour !

@darthtony
Plase use the "Tanks" button next time!

Sorry,
but i've not understood
i need of two different cable?

No. You will need stock cable from phone's kit only.
And what step(s) exactly do you not understand?

i had understood that to flash my phone i need this cable :
item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=8591547110
And i'm searching one !
SP update can't find the com port with the standard cable !
So i'm stucked !
Another thing ! i made the backup with YAFF2 ! it was the only thing i've to do , wasn't it ?
i've also backuped the nvram directory !
Isn't there a way to make the backup with SP update ?
for the rest i hope it is simple !
I install the modem driver when i plug the phone to the PC, then using "SP update" i set the port and the speed , i set the file MT6516_Android_scatter.txt from the rom zip
and if it works ... it works ! xD
another question : would this resolve the GPS problem ?

No! For flashing your phone you DO NOT need flashing cable! "Flashing" cable are used for restoring IMEIs if you did not backup /nvram directory from your phone.
For flashing your phone you can use attached bundle of software and instructions. -- http://us.ua/199217/
This manual explain recovery.img flashing process. For full flashing -- select all .img files from ROM archive (except preloader.img, if it exists).
Archived .DOС-file is in russian, but instructions, contained in it, are simple, so you can use translate.google.com for translation.
If you cannot understand some steps, ask here.
There are also needed modem drivers in this archive. Power off phone, then connect it (powered OFF!) to the computer via usual USB cable. MTK USB modem device will appear FOR 5 SECONDS. After this timeout it will disappear.
You should manually locate folder with this driver in "New Hardware Found" wizard in these 5 seconds and install this driver. Otherwise SP Flash Tool will not found your phone.
Specifying a COM-port number in SP Tool is NOT needed, this program will find phone automatically.

In newest batches of A3000 phones GPS chip is physically absent.
You can check it presence in Factory mode.
Power off phone. Press one of side volume buttons (check each of it, I do not remember exactly) and power button. "Factory mode" text will appear. Then you can go to the underlying menu - GPS test. If you will get "-8" test result -- there is no GPS chip in your phone. If test will pass -- there are no hardware problems with GPS in your phone.

I made the test and it failed !
But if i open google navigator it shows my position !
Also installing another 2 navigator it founds my position ! So i thought that it was a software problem !

Disconnect from WiFi and Bluetooth, pull out both SIM cards and launch your navigation software again.
If it will show your location correctly, it is GPS. Otherwise base-station-based location were used.
You can also use GpsTest software from Android Market.

I disconnected from everything but i forgot that i've only google maps navigator in this time so i've put on WI-fi connection to download the map and then i'm gone where the Wi-fi signal is off !
It indicates my right position !
I've a home wi-fi to connect pc between floors ....
It is enough ?

[Q] How do I root the AT&T Avail (ZTE Z990)?

What I have tried:
SuperOneClick (all versions) <-- Siege Tanks Were Doomed
Gingerbreak <-- Just sits there
Z4Root <-- doesn't do anything
Rageagainstthecage <-- doesn't work
tried flashing Clockwork mod via tcard like works for the ZTE Blade, phone pretends like it is working then reboots and no change, trying to start using the power button and vol - yields nothing.
tried cooking my own rom with the kitchen make the update.zip file
Do adb reboot recovery
the phone comes back to the android system recovery <3e>
I select the option to do update.zip from sdcard
I get:
verifying update package...
installation aborted...
I need root access to remove the AT&T preloaded apps that won't uninstall won't stay killed and are hogging all my space on the phone (limited storage). I would also like to be able to upgrade to 2.3.7 from my current 2.3.4 and possibly make my own roms.
I have emailed ZTE Chinese support to see if I can get an non pork filled rom the Indian who answered their tech support line didn't have an answer and told me not to flash the ZTE roamer rom (if I could even find it) because it will brick my phone. They have been no help!
What am I doing wrong in the android recovery (I have tried both installer scripts)? Is there a way to rebuild the system.img from the system folder that was created in the kitchen because I might be able to rebuild it into the .bin file that the phone will accept from a sdcard with the built in update feature?

Ok so I figured out how to repack the system.img I then dropped it back into the folder and used zte-pack.exe to build my .bin file. I go to the tcard update and it fails verification...is there a signature that needs to be made? I didn't see an option in zte-pack

i got the same phone with at&t....was unable to root it either, but i only tried super one click...
good luck and share, if you find a way.

Not sure if there is away as of yet. Just did a fast search and it seems no root has been done for it yet

try another time z4root

I am unable to root my XT928 either...Good Luck!

I am soooo close just need that extra little bit of help, I will get it and when I do I will definitely share. I've only had a droid for 2 weeks and I have come this far, I am not going to stop. I have a BS in Computer Science and used to be a MCSE, I don't know this tech well enough yet but I will. Just hoping someone on here has the skillset I need to help complete this,

There are detailed instructions for rooting, unlocking, other ROMs and more on a Russian site but I don't understand much of it. If anyone can help out it would be great!
I'm prevented from posting links here but search for zte Roamer unlock.

we know about this - i'm fluent in russian. none of their file links work - it's an old thread on 4pda forums. you can use translate.google.com or several other engines, to translate web pages in real time.

according to ZTE although they share the same model numbers they have different radios (IE GSM / CDMA) and flashing the roamer to the avail will brick it. Apparently ZTE has not gotten the concept of using distinct model numbers yet...

I was able to get root by simply entering *983*7668#. watch the screen and you will see a message that says wait a few minutes for root. I then installed superuser and Titanium Backup proceeded to remove the apps I didn't want/need, I was also able to backup everything else that I wanted to!

[GUIDE] Rooting ALCATEL OT-918 (v2.3.6)

Hello everybody,
This is just a small guide I made for rooting ALCATEL OT-918 (Maybe also 918D or M) devices on which SuperOneClick fails. Most of the files are not by me so all credit goes to the original author...
Tutorial:
01) Unzip usb_driver.zip and install the drivers. (phone shall not be off an plugged in, thx dbask)
02) Copy the file Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to the root of your SD card.
03) Make sure your battery is fully charged and turn off your phone.
04) Head to the directory SP_Flash_Tool_v2.1134.00 and start FlashTool.exe.
05) Make sure the menu Options->USB Mode is checked.
06) Use attached scatter file creator to make scatter. (or use Android_2.3.6_MT6573_Android_scatter_918.txt)
Warnings/Errors like this can be safely ignored:
Code:
[Warning Hint] Get BMT block count fail, default BMT block count is used!
Code:
[Hint] Bootloader files are lost when automatically loading by scatter file.
Code:
Please make sure you want to go through anyway.
Code:
DSP_BL is unchecked, which may result in a boot failure
07) Check the entry with name "RECOVERY" and double click it.
08) Select the recovery.img file and again make sure ONLY one entry is checked.
09) Click the Download button and plugin your phone with the USB cable.
* Wait some time (untill the recovery file is loaded to your phone) *
10) Unplug your phone and press the volume up and power button at once
11) Select "Flash Zip from SDCard" and choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
12) Confirm the update and reboot your phone. Everything should be done, phone is rooted!
Actual tutorial made by others. I only try to make it a bit more clear.

ALCATEL Scatter Retriever v0.1
Just to make this thread a little development related: I coded a tool that should be able to automatically create scatter files for your (ALCATEL) device. It is only tested on my own device but it should work for other (ALCATEL) devices too (Sources can be posted if needed).
Screenshot:
Last words
The tools and files used to make this tutorial are not created by me. The FlashTool is made by MediaTek (the company that makes the ALCATEL devices), the recovery.img is made by somebody at 592zn, the USB Drivers are made by MediaTek/Alcatel (unsure).
I wish you all a very plesant day,

download the One Touch Upgrade software from here: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/ph/products/andorid_smartphones/ot-918.html to reinstall your OS
to root, use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27178532&postcount=16

Device is upto date and exits
I did that and it says there is no other later version than the one already install on your device and it exits.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks

@kippsoft: Sorry, but I cannot give my data and cache... it contains private stuff such as contacts, emails, password and all stuff like that... nothing more to do I guess

@ mr.expdia: I am very very grateful
I am very gratefull for all that you have one to me.Your time spend and assistance is highly appreciated.
Thanks alot.
But said those images were for Alcatel OT-918?Please confirm that?
I thought those were images before you used your phone...it is okay.
And do you have any working custom rom for 2.3.6? Most of the available are for 2.3.5.
Though my problem is not solved...I have learn alot and that is exactly what I wanted when I joined xda.
Thanks to all.:good:

They are captured while rooting my phone, so yes. And I do not have a custom rom, I think you need to wait for one to be created.

Same problem was with me too. But my phone was in warranty so I got it to service center and now it will be replaced with a new one. Hey XDA Guys is there anyway we can prevent this thing? Even I did wipe all data and the phone just booted till screen where Android image comes and then restart.

[GUIDE] Lenovo P700 Root

IMPORTANT Info (read this before proceeding any further):
- Please back-up your system folder using any file manager (ES or file manager) before doing root. specifically the busybox file.
- Also, do a back-up of all your messages, contacts, call logs and apps using the Backup and restore application.
- Rooting your device will VOID its warranty.
- Download and use these files at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for any damages or failures that might happen to your PC or device.
What you need:
1. S2-4.0-root folder containing the root.exe. Download link* (Download this file and extract to your local drive. In my case I placed it on my drive D :\). By the way, This file was sourced from the MU forum.
2. USB Drivers (with ADB driver) here: Driver link.
3. ADB installed on your machine – see below.
*password <here>
ADB (Android Debug Bridge):
Information here: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
1. Make sure that you can connect to your device via ADB before you continue rooting your beloved P700.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Root Proper:
Once you have verified that you can connect to your device using ADB, then follow the steps detailed below.
1. Connect your P700 (powered ON) to your PC using the supplied USB cable.
2. Open command prompt and type “ADB devices”. This should show a set of numbers corresponding to your device (see screenshot on top). If not check ADB topic above.
3. Browse to the location where you placed the S2-4.0 folder. Open it and run P700_ROOTv1.0.exe (WARNING: this action would immediately reboot your device) and follow the instruction on screen.
4. Wait until your device is ready.
5. Hit Enter and your device will reboot again. Follow the on screen instruction and wait until your device is ready.
6. Hit Enter when your device has completely restarted.
7. Now you will be prompted with the following line: uid=0 <root> gid=0<root> (follow the instructions next to it). In my case - id is 0. If not, try again and repeat the procedure as mentioned in the instructions.
8. Hit Enter again and your device will reboot for a third time and you will see the following lines: Remount succeeded….....
9. Once your device is completely restarted, hit Enter and the windowed root dialog will automatically close.
Your device should now be rooted.
Screenshot of sequence above:
How to check if you are rooted
1. Use ADB shell and check that you can run su.
2. Use Root checker (download from Google play store).
3. Use ES file explorer or any file manager to enable Root explorer and mount the system folder. If you don’t have any issue with these steps then your device is already rooted.
ADB shell (rooted)
NOTES:
- The following files will be pushed to your system (Superuser, su , MobileUncle toolbox and RE Chinese).
- Root explorer (Chinese) will be installed on your device. You can opt to remove this app using Titanium backup.
- This process was tested on the current ROW(Rest of the World) build (P700_ROW_S108_120614), so I am not sure if this will work on other available builds out there.
- If you see or experience any issues, you can always do a factory Data reset (root will be preserved).
IMPORTANT Info (again):
- Please back-up your system folder using any file manager (ES or file manager) before doing root. specifically the busybox file.
- Also, do a back-up of all your messages, contacts, call logs and apps using the Backup and restore application.
- Rooting your device will VOID its warranty.
- Download and use these files at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for any damages or failures that might happen to your PC or device.

i shouldve known... nyahahahah. thanks. i appreciate it.

Does anyone know why this phone s not recognized in most parts of the world? I thought XDA dev would have it but even they don't list it in the phones section.!!
A friend is thinking of getting one and he was asking me to see if it was a good phone.

Hi Epsilonthegreat.
Maybe you can assist me:
I have taken the P700_ROW_S113, cooked in some modifications (most importantly I replaced the kernel) flashed it on my Lenovo A750
It looks like it is working well. Which I expected, as the P700 is just the A750 with a different screen, but the screen is in the kernel. Just like the P700i seems to be the A789 with a different screen.
I did so in the hope of getting the ROW "Rest Of World" languages. However, it seems to only contain Vietnamese in addition to English and Chinese.
Do you know if this is normal for the ROW's? Or did I download one that has already been tweaked, not the original?
Thanks

Hello cybermaus,
Unfortunately the P700 ROW version only have English, Vietnamese and Chinese on it. Maybe due to the reason that P700 ROW was only officially marketed on these areas.
Below is the Language screen shot on my unit.
Regards.

Yes, that is what i have. Thanks.
Its a pity, I had hoped to get a multilang version
But still the exercise was very useful. I now have a ROM as stable as the cleaned up A750, but even more cleaned up and better internationalized.
Anyway, a return gesture to the P700 community: I have written a small review of the Lenovo Security app, which you guys may want to put on your phones, as it works very well on it.

It worked! thanks man!

Tutorials/FAQ: ​For best perfomances, extract the .zip to C:/
Q: What do i need to do in order to install a custom ROM?
1.Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com.
2.Flash a recovery of your choice.
3.Root using the permanent root solution flashed via recovery, found in Data/Root or select the Root menu and flash your desired thingy.
4.Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.
All those things are found and can be done via this tool.
Q: Hi, i just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?
First, extract the folder of the archive in the root of some partition, example above and somewhere below.
After that, run M7MultiTool vX.X.bat on windows, M7MultiToolvX.X-M.sh on MAC and M7MultiToolvX.X-L.sh on Linux.
Q: I see you talk about some M7MultiTool vX.X, is that an eXtreme edition or something?
No, vX.X will be replaced with the version from the title of the thread, this is made like this to keep things clean over future updates, so there will be no need to change things all around the thread after each update.
Q: Hi, i just bought a phone what should i do now?
Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader, just go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader.
Q: What is logcat?
Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.
It is usually used for debugging and entertaiment(?).
When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (logfile)!
Q: What is DMESG?
According to wikipedia: dmesg (display message or driver message) is a command on most Linux- and Unix-based operating systems that prints the message buffer of the kernel.
We use it for debugging purposes, providing it while reporting a kernel bug/error is a blessing.
Q: Hi, i have an unlocked bootloader, what should i do now?
Well, you should flash a custom recovery via bootloader, for that you just need to turn off your phone without fastboot activated, hold Volume down + Power button untill a white screen appears, if it appears a black one with some blue letters, you probably have a fake one
Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do i need one?
A custom recovery is that thingy that let's you flash .zip files, use your logic and you wil get it why you need one.
Q: Do i need S-OFF on my phone?
HTC One has a nice unlocked bootloader, S-OFF is not needed as you can flash custom ROM's and kernels directly via Recovery.
Also, S-OFF is not available *YET* for HTC One.
Q:There are others guides/tutorials out there, should i check them instead of this?
If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated ​
Changelog: ​v1.1 - 23 May 2013 - Added Permanent Root flashing.
v1.0 - 23 May 2013 - First public release, providing recovery flashing, driver installer, htcdev.com code provider, cid getter, logging (logcat and dmesg), backup and restore, rebooting.​

I know you need adb debugging on, don't know if it will work without root, you can give it a try, if it doesn't work, you can use Helium from Google Play, can backup even on non-rooted devices, but beware, i used it and for example CSR Racing couldn't be restored, so i remained with my online save, which was waaay behind.
Hope this helps.

@Lexmazter, luckily the games i have on my phone have not been started yet. only some emulators that have some real-time saves on them, they should be easily copied back and forth from the internal memory. probably just gonna copy all files from internal to pc and then copy them back after rooting then re-install the apps \ games manually.....................sudeki300

Well, you can try the backup and restore feature, as i didn't had the chance to test it on non-rooted phones and please report your findings as it will help me to improve the tool.
Thanks

Do people still use this tool? I haven't checked it for a while and i can see it has a couple of downloads, more than i expected actually. Should i update it and add new features?
