do you have an idea where to find the offline charging animation of starmobile units? mine got messed up when i flashed an offline charging animation from some other forum. now my phone wont charge when it is turned off.

Offline animation
Need to check which one do you need....
Did you flash the rom of boot animation through CWM or using sptools? If neither of the two, then what tool and how it happened?
Btw, If you plug the usb in the unit while its off, does it indicate a red light?

i successfully rooted installed CWM and backup the entire ROM (not nandroid) of this device, I am willing to upload it if you want, maybe flushing back the stock rom will restore your phone in normal state...
regards :good:
thanks for Randolf of PinoyScreenCast for his guide on How to Backup your Stock Rom on a Mediatek Phones

Hi chleoj,
I potentially bricked my phone. My emmc is unmountable. Do you mind uploading your backup Stock ROM? I'm getting pretty desperate. I wasted a whole day already on this and I'm still getting nowhere.
Edit: I scoured the forums already, and I've concluded that it's irrecoverable via cwm. My only hope is with SPFlashTool img. Please please please help me!

It will definitely solve your problem, I was asking if you can access your CWM, because I also have unmodified nandroid backup...
I would suggest that you might want to try that first...
just put that nandroid backup on /sdcard/clocworkmod/backup...
Uploading now...

Thanks! I sent the thread starter an email, requesting a custom EBR for SMDiamondv7. I hope he would kindly have the time to make it.
Btw, There seems to be one tiny wrinkle with my restoration. When I go to settings, under the Storage menu - I can't seem to get the Phone Storage to mount. It keeps on getting unmounted?
Edit: Fixed the PhoneStorage problem by mounting my phone on my PC and formatting the internal storage [Fat32] using Disk Management! It's all good now!

Hi! I too can't reply yet through the development section of the forum [new-account limitations. Your files from mediafire and tut have been very useful. Your custom firmware is really great though there is still some minor glitches (usually the screen led turning off but not often just in very occasional manner). I really had been hoping you could lead me to the solution to my problem.
My phone does not show baseband version as well as imei. I've tried so many solution from diff thread but most does not work. I haven't been able to see this thread before only the 2 major dev. (which are rooting and the flashing).
I had failed to restore a backup of my old rom and system/user files because ignorantly at fault, I formatted the sd card though CWM, (i just re-mounted the rom zip to flash rom). But then, it seems flashing alone will not restore baseband and imei.
I'm thinking if it could help me restore baseband version and imei using a backup from another diamond V7 device (maybe you can give link).
I would try it by tonight using the system & userdate img from your mediafire page, and will post back if anything positive or negative came out. I'm crossing my fingers to fix the baseband and imei problem. Hope to hear from you. Thanks!

No luck for today. Using SP flash tool to flash system.img and userdata.img did not fix the unknown baseband and imei. Hope there was actually other way to fix this conflict. Thanks xda-developers.com and more power!

Visited the store last saturday to fix my unit due to imei issue. Luckily, under warranty, no fees charged and issues fixed. After having flashed the stock rom from manufacturer, I immediately made a backup of my rom and flash the modded S4 UI by chleoj.
The flashing was a success but the issue persist. I now have my imei but network connection seems off. I can connect to the wifi router and even through mobile data connection but cannot access the web. I am not sure what was the cause so I decided to re-flash the backup of stock rom.
Using the stock rom, no issue was noted. I can connect successfully to a network and even access the internet. I also notice that there was some system changes which was a different baseband version, it is now MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P.13 which was used to be MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V6.P.8. Just maybe, the different baseband version can fix issues experienced from the modded ROM with S4 UI.

my starmobile was also bricked when i use a repartition tool, im not able to go to the homepage it will just stuck on starmobile logo. i tried to use the spf tools nothing happened even if i installed all the drivers.. it just says error on scatter file something..im kind of frustrated on this one. hope someone will help me on this.

hi pls reply where i can find a starmobile diamond v7 spareparts for front camera ?cause my v7 doesnt have front camera the flex is broken

[Q] Accidentally wiped my system.. Help!!!

1st of all, i am a beginner. Just brought my android ics phone last month. I also rooted my phone by the help of my friend last week. But yesterday i was trying to restore factory settings. But i accidentally wiped my system. And now my phone wont boot. It stuck in BootScreen. Nothing happens then. I dont have the backup of my rom. what to do now ??? Please help!! Sorry for my bad English & Thanks in advance who wanna help me
..

What recovery are you using? Even if you wiped the phone you should still have it running. All you need to do is reboot in recovery mode. Hard to tell you how as I dunno what the phone is.
Before that you'll need to download your stock firmware and put it on the root directory of your SD card if you have one, so that once in recovery you'll actually have something to flash.
If the phone doesn't have a SD slot, then you'll need to use a recovery tool on your PC to flash it.
Right now shut the phone down, remove the battery, find some guides specific about your phone, and read them carefully. There's a reason why we're using recoveries. First thing you should have done is to backup your stock firmware somewhere on your computer or on the cloud, and make sure you knew how to use it if something like that was to happen... Little late for that now.
When you'll know what to do, just mind that you still have enough battery to flash the stock ROM. Come back to ask help here if there's something you don't understand. Good luck!

No problem. Just install this partition manager free. It is perfectly adapted for windows 8. And you are offered a variety of options which can swap/merge/separate new partitions. With a very easy-to-understand instructions, everything is perfect!

Thanks for kindly reply

Well that's the kick, is it? Most of what I found through a quick search was in foreign language... I do english, french, and a little spanish, but that's it...
I did find THIS quite easily though... My bet is, start from there to find infos... That's all I can do right now to help you, sorry!

[Q] Touchscreen does not work at all after flashing wrong ROM

Hello everyone.
I have an Alcatel One Touch 908F running Android 2.2.2 that I chose to root and install a 2.3 ROM since no official update was released and it had a lot of advantages that I really need. I successfully rooted it with VROOT, install a CWM 5.0.2.7 recovery and flashed two custom ROMs based on 2.2.2 (the one for Alcatel One Touch 908S WIND, and the one for Alcatel One Touch 908Q T-Mobile) just for testing.
Both successfully worked with no problems at all (except the fact that Back, Home and Menu changed their places but it was fixed by flashing a tool that I found on this forum - Thank you so much, developers!) so I wanted to flash a 2.3 ROM, but I didn't realize that it wasn't approprite (It was only for Alcatel One Touch Telenor, and the worst: it wasn't told in the instructions!). I knew it when, once my phone booted for the 1st time, it showed the "Telenor" logo reversed on top, and white lines at the bottom of the screen. So I reverted back to my stock ROM using a backup made with CWM.
I got the stock ROM again. Only now, neither the touchscreen nor the lighting Home, Menu and Back keys are working! Hitting the screen acts like hitting the Menu button!
I tried many ROMs, and it didn't work. Well, the good thing is that I still have root access, USB debugging enabled and CWM 5.0.2.8 recovery.
I'm really desperate. My phone is out of warranty. Is my phone really as useful as a brick, now? I hope it isn't. Can you help me, please? I urgently need my phone to work again because I can't afford to buy a new one or repair it! Is there any software that can bring my only smartphone back to life? Shall I switch to TWRP recovery? Which ROM shall I flash?
Thank you so much in advance for your help!

UP... (Since there was no reply for so long...)
I see, it is not a popular model
I found out that the problem can be solved by flashing the stock kernel which contains the original touchscreen drivers needed to make it work again, but I couldn't find the file. Can anyone upload it for me, please? If this is not the right way,
Does anyone have another, please? Thank you!

Flash everything ( including ROM , boot.img etc. ) created for your device . It will solve the problem .
As a warning, don't flash other device's firmware , until you became a porter or using an Android one :sly:
Hope I helped !

Need some help as a nood for my HTC One S

Hey all this will seems to be quite an odd thread to all. but its been long i have been using generic HTC one S and i know this site very well since i bought my phone 3 years ago!
Very well, I need to know some basic stuff so i can get perfect mod and upgraded without making it available for my younger brother to play with it by throwing it on wall.
So a good help will be really appreciated.
Only couple of questions:
1. Best ROM that support Indian HTC one S models.
2. Best and 100% working method to get this done successfully.
3. Any way i can backup the generic ROM and framework and get things moving ?
please don't get angry on me, just help me to get my phone renovated.
Thanks XDA

Hi there,
Im a One S user, so PM me if you need anything or reply to this thread so everyone can see
Answers:
1) This matters on opinion, but I would recommend cyanogenmod 11 (or 12.1 as Lollipop). Don't do this yet, see answer 3 to back up.
2) I would just follow my next answer here but if you need a detailed reply, reply back.
3) Unlock bootloader, quite easy, and S-OFF first, in case you lose any data. Any music/pics/etc pls transfer to pc first . Then, after S-OFF (or unlocked bootloader) install a custom recovery TWRP by getting the img file, booting to FASTBOOT mode (If you are on stock OS then go to Settings -> Power -> Uncheck fast boot (This will allow you to boot into fastboot)) .
Then, if that's all succesfull, the rest is easy . Download a new rom (like my answer 1 suggests, CM11 or CM12.1) then flash it . I highly recommend making a nandroid backup in TWRP after this is done transfer to PC. With TWRP 2.8.7.0 you can enable MTP mode in recovery, and then transfer whole TWRP folder to PC. Then, give a full wipe twice for all partition in TWRP (except for USB-OTG obviously).
Any more questions please contact me or reply to this thread, thanks.

[Completed] Need help choosing a phone with custom recovery!

Hello,
I hope somebody can help me: I am looking for a phone to use in my small startup. The phone should be rootable and it has to have NFC.
My plan is to make a nandroid backup of the operating system i install once, and then just place it on the other 10 phones, so i don´t have to install all of the apps one by one on the smartphone.
Maybe someone has an idea for a phone which i could use?
I have the LG H525 in mind, but i don´t know if it is possible to install a custom recovery like TWRP on there.
Thank you for your help!
