Modding Chinese Android Hero H6 (android 2.1)

Hello!
I just bought an Chinese Android Phone Hero H6. I guess it's the cheapest Android Phone available (it sells for like US$120) and it has a MTK6516 chip.
I could root it using Universal Androot, but I'd like to take it to the next step:
use apps2sd or maybe update it to Froyo (I don't know if it's possible since it appears to have only 128MB RAM).
To install apps2sd I'd have to update the recovery, right?
Does anyone here has the same device so we can try to make it happen?
I'd be very grateful!
Thank you!

I Wont Lie To You, I'm Not Really Familiar With The Chinese Version, But I Do Have The Cdma Hero!!
You Should Be Able To Do The Same Thing As Me!! Don't See Why Not??
Try *Z4Root* For "Root", & Install
*Rom Manager* For "Recovery"
Also There's A App Called *Install- Manager* That Will Allow You To Move Apps From Phone Without Partitioning Your Sdcard!!
Hope This Helps!!

Go To My Posts! I Think I Posted A App Called "Z4Root"?
Anyway, Use That To Root Your Phone (May Take A Few Tries)
But Definitely Works!!!
Then Depending If You Have S-on You May Have To Download "Unrevoked-Forever" From The Unrevoked.com Website.
Next You Can Go To The Market & Install "ROM Manager" Open That App, Select Flash Recovery, Confirm, Then Go To Install From SdCard.
Select The Unrevoked-Forever Zip, (Make Sure It's Put On The Main Directory Of Your SdCard)
Next I Believe It Will Bring You To Your New Recovery Screen!!
*Note* Recovery Menu Can Be Accessed By Powering Off, Then Powering Back On While Holding Volume Down, Once The Phones On Press The Home Button To Get Into Recovery!
Hopefully This Helps!!
Any Other Questions,
PM Me.... I'll Help You Out!

Hi guys,
I recently bought a Chinese SuperPad and now I'm looking for a Chinese Android Phone. I am thinking of the H6, H9 or Star A3000. All use the same processor.
How are your experiences until now with your phones?

Hero H6 Mtk 6516 recovery.img
Hi there
I am looking for a recovery.img for my H6 (mtk6516) which gives me the 'update.zip' option when I start the phone in recovery mode. My recovery just shows a triangle with exclamation mark, no options. or am i doing something wrong? Can anyone post a recovery.img?
I appreciate any help!

here is the recovery for the h6.
i flashed it using the serial cable, but i am sure you can flash it using adb
megaupload.com/?d=TPYW1GT6

Thanks fat_fat!

i have the 2.2.1 udate by the way.. but its not a zi file!

I need the original firmware for H6, can somebody upload it?
Here is the driver for USB MT6516
megaupload.com/?d=DDRGAX32

So I tried fat_fats recovery.img for the H6, thanks again for the file.
it didn't work though. my screen just flashes in bright light and then the device reboots normally. i do have another revovery that gives me just an exclamation mark and no update.zip option. is there any other way or another recovery.img around to update the h6 from 2.1 to 2.2? any ideas? thanks!

hmm.. thats Odd.. maybe we don't have the same phone???
does your phone have 2 sim cards readers? you might have to life the black sticker under the battery.
the recovery i have, i flashed using a serial/usb cable.
i have the schamatics to build the cable and the flashing utility. I can upload when i get to my computer if you would like!
thats how i was able to update my phone.

[q] vodafone smart 2 recovery mode/root

Hi Guys,
Very new to the forums, and have extensively searched for an answer before posting...BUT cannot find a specific solution to my problem!!
I have the VODAFONE SMART 2, Firmware Version 2.3.7, Kernel Version 2.6.35.7
I WANT TO ROOT THIS DEVICE!!!! .....but it will not boot up in recovery mode!!...it just resets factory data..!!!
I KNOW HOW TO GAIN ACCESS BY HOLDING VOLUME UP AND POWER BUTTON..!!
I HAVE SEEN THE YOU TUBE VIDEO ON HOW TO ROOT THIS PHONE..!!...but I cannot get in to recovery mode to execute the instructions..!!
SO PLEASE CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME CLEAR AND CONCISE INSTRUCTIONS HERE AND NOW WITHOUT REDIRECTION TO ANOTHER LINK ON HOW TO....... "ROOT THIS PHONE"......and get in to recovery mode..!!
ALL I WANT TO DO IS DELETE THE BLOODY BLOAT WARE...LOL
Thanks :good:

Anyone? I'm sure I'm not the only one who is experiencing this problem with this phone, I've seen a fair few people ask the same question on the net but not one has been answered.

So I take it no body knows then, well over 100 views and no help!....great forum this!!

Look on youtube (root vodafone smart 2 with out recovery).
Greets sander.

if you use the search function of the forum you can find 2 or 3 threads about Vodafone smart 2 and also the solution at your problem, the recovery cwm style, a custom rom, root methods... just search
phone: sgs2 GT-I9100
kernel : dorimanx 5.79beta
main rom: rr 2.7
second rom: cm 9.1
baseband: I9100XXLQ6

Thanks for the reply mate, yeah I have seen the Greek guys YouTube video, he doesn't command the best English to be fair, and mentions that the phone wont act the same after root. some nice clear instructions from a English fella would be appreciated. It was easy rooting my previous 858 vodafone with superoneclick and it didn't act different when rooted afterwards. I may well wait until an easier, less risky way of rooting this phone has been found. strange how some of the smart 2s can't get recovery mode.

Thanks for the links...but they are of no help to me, I cannot get recovery in my phone...I have installed SDK adb...and cannot get the bloody thing to work with commands in CMD Prompt...(so that was a waste of time)....If i could just get in to recovery mode then i could root it easy!!...it's getting in to recovery mode thats the problem.
Anyone with simple instructions for me to get my phone in to recovery bearing in mind it will not enter in to it via the power/volume + technique ?

Anyone?? Not one reply to my question has provided me with the information needed, I have tried SDK, cant get it to work, Have tried the greek guys youtube instructions, they dont work..is there another simpler way of getting my phone in to recovery?

It appears that I now have root, superuser is now present....Could you give me a list of the apps that I can safely uninstall on this phone and what is the best way to uninstall these pieces of Vodafone stock crud from my phone? tried with Titanium backup while rooted and it said it couldn't find the apk file to the app I was trying to uninstall.
Thanks for your advice, it is appreciated.

You have a list of all apps that can delete in the same thread that u find recovery.zip I use Root Uninstaller free to delete app, after u fave to do a factory reset to see the free space after deleting, But u have to Root again by tha same way, becouse after Reset you will lost Root.
Hit thanx button if i helped.

Right thanks for all your help guys:good:
Just so you know, if you delete your stock camera app from this phone because like I found the shutter speed was slower than slow!!!...the BEST replacement that works like a charm on this phone is LG CAMERA PRO.."or the free one"....a beautiful camera that gives the best photo and video quality this phone has to offer...and I tried all the camera apps believe me...lol....

[ROOT][ICS] Sky Vega Racer A770S + A760S ICS 4.0.4 (Easy)

Hello to all .
This is my first post here , I've been on xda for a while ,See whats going on here .Support For Pantech Sky Phones is not open, just a few threads.
I Got a Sky Vega Racer A760S (a great dual-core 1.5Ghz Phone by the way) and needed to root it and install recovery on it . Searched here in xda for post for that kind of phone , found some ways to root+recovery it successfully, but the problem was that after that find out wi-fi and sound where completely gone . I got mad of that . Then self-upgraded it in sky vega site. I needed to root it , so i searched on some Vietnamese developers site some easy steps that i wanted to share to all that have this kind of superphone .
ROOT
1.Download from the link Root & Recovery.rar mediafire. co m/?h7rka238l2r21lb
2.Download drivers+insall them ( . mediafire . com/?zp1gvl3qhefzhsr
3.Need to put phone into USB DEBUGGING . (go to settings -Developer options-usb debugging need to be checked)
4.No Need to put phone into fastboot.
5.now open Root.bat follow the steps(just pres any key) ( phone will restart dont worry )
6.if you see superuser on your phone your done .
Recovery
STEPS 1-2-3-4 are done .
5.open Normal Recovery - ADB.bat for normal recovery Or Touch Recovery - ADB.bat for touch recovery .
6.follow the steps (just pres enter when needed)
7.when all finish , turn off your phone - hold pressed volume down + search button then turn on tour phone . if you see the cwm recovery your done )

Your post is very helpful. Million thanks, can you check again for the links you provided? cause those two are same, it's only for the drivers not for the rooting files and recovery. Thanks again, I too have a Sky Vega Racer A760S and this might be helpful for me

Hmmm I'm thinking of the added korean bloatware, thinking bout MIUI for it .... Im using Go SMS too but it has bugs when using , messages more than 160 chars I think will be missing to the recipient. That's why Im thinking bout having it custom ROMed... If only we have info bout this and XDA has support Thank you very much sir! Tell us here for any updates. Chao!

And BTW, bout the CWM , replacing the stock recovery with it shouldn't hurt my device also even if Im running on Official ICS 4.0.4 with S/W from sky v2.21 sir?

hello,is there anything wrong with the link of usb driver download? i can't open that URL correctly?besides,could the usb driver work right on Windows xp? thank you for your help!

GALAXY S5 Mod and Apps for the KitKat Grand 2 - Rooting Instructions Inside!

Good day everyone,
This (was) my first thread here. I am trying to make a single package that'll turn a boring, unrooted KitKat Grand 2 into a rooted S5.
I'm done collecting the apps. The flashable ZIP is being uploaded.
Currently, there's my root guide for the KitKat Grand 2 Samsung ROM.

Did you:
- make sure that your phone is on KitKat?
- try another cable and/or PC and/or USB port?
- try redownloading CWM?
If all fails, please tell me.

Ya bro i tried download twice all went ok odin showed reset but as soon as i boot in recovery then stock recovery flashed again automatically and yes it is 4.4.2 kitkat tried almost 10 times to flash but all in vain

So, did you flash while having enabled Debugging Mode? (Tap the Build Number seven times in About Device, go back, tap Developer Options, and turn on USB Debugging). Also try disabling it if you had it enabled.
If this doesn't work, try flashing with Auto Reboot turned off in Odin, then manually rebooting after you become absolutely sure the process is over.
If both solutions don't work, tell me.

Tried again back to stock i think because Qualcomm secureboot is enabled it thr a way to disable it

That has no effect on installing CWM, because I got Secureboot enabled, too, while having CWM.
First, do you have a red line saying UDC START in Download Mode?
Second, do you mean (by saying stock) getting in Download Mode again with an extra line saying "Could not do normal boot" OR getting a screen with "Android system recovery (3e)" on the top?
And did my other solutions (toggling Debugging Mode, disabling Auto Reboot) fail?
If so, tell me. Concentrate on what you mean by "stock".
I got one last solution working, but it needs you to tell me what do you mean by stock.

This is the thread of that CWM recovery. Ask your question there, because your condition is a rare one. Thanks.
