OP1 - Windows drivers installation
http://www.multiupload.nl/BR8XWD3TF4
[Source: MovilesDualSim.com]
(these drivers work with XP, and possibily with earlier Windows versions)<br>
OP2 - ROOT Access
First action: activate USB DEBUGGING mode.
a) Download and install SHUAME software
http://dl.shuame.com/files/1.0.9/ShuameSetup_1.0.9_general.exe
[Source - Shuame.com]
(it's in chinese, but the install is straight forward... next -> next, etc. )
b) Connect USB cable to the phone. Shuame will detect UMI X1, and you'll see a copy of your screen on the computer
c) Make this 2 clicks:
d) On next screen, click on the "blue" button to initiate the process. Phone will restart several times until finished
NOTICE: to un-root, just click the "root" button on the right (with the $ instead of the #)
OP3 - Install a Clockworkmod (CWM) based recovery console
With this step you'll be able to install non-official ROMS (not digitaly signed)
a) Download the new recovery image:
http://www.multiupload.nl/1210059PIM
[Source - MovilesDualSim.com]
b) Execute SHUAME, and click on button "Recovery":
c) click on the "blue" button -> and choose our IMG file -> click on the "blue" button again
The new recovery console will be installed. To access it:
- turn off Umi X1
- press POWER + VOL.UP, until the UMI logo shows up
- if you see a dead Android -> click HOME
- use vol+ and vol- keys to navigate thru options, and the POWER key to select.
Notice: some pre-recovery consoles have other keys, but the instructions are explicit.
Notice: you can make full backups with this recovery console.
OP4 - Install a new ROM
Most UMI X1 comes with ROM Android 4.0.4 - 20120914-215024
Other ROMS most used by the community:
- 4.0.4 (ICS) - "Samsung" style (LINK) - Source: gizhina.com
- 4.0.4 (ICS) - 20121118 - Official with several fixes - http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=176071&uk=3022536317
- 4.1.2 (JB) - 20130101 - Official - http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=210913&uk=3022536317
- 4.1.2 (JB) - 20130109 - Based on Official, with several fixes - http://www.romzj.com/resources/other.html?view=rom&id=6855&layout=default
- 4.1.2 (JB) - 20130118 - Based on Official, with several fixes - http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=270874&uk=3355610835
Notice: this last one needs some additional tweaks:
-> Install GoogleApps via recovery console http://www.multiupload.nl/F6XPEKN0M0
(GoogleApps also available here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip )
-> Copy these Calendar files to /system/app with root explorer and set correct permissions (same as the others) (Source: XDA-Developers - sonof)
-> Install the app "SmartHosts" from the GooglePlay/Market, and update your hosts file in order to make GoogleNews, Facebook, etc. working
[Source1 - ROMJZ.COM]
[Source2 - XDA-DEVELOPERS]
To install a new ROM:
a) copy the ROM ZIP file to the microSD card
b) enter recovery mode - look at the previous question
c) (advisable) make a full backup of the existing ROM
option Backup&Restore -> Backup (it will take long...)
the backup will be on the SD card, folder clockworkmod
d) select option "wipe data / factory reset" -> choose option "YES"
e) select option "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip from sdcard" -> choose the ZIP file -> "YES"
f) after "reboot system", the new ROM will be operational.
g) in case the ROM has "chinese" language by default, goto settings menu (the settings icon is easy to find) and choose your language:
OP5 - Readjust the internal storage size
Sometimes, after installing a new ROM, the ROM 4GB get wrongly shared between the "internal storage" and the "phone storage".
Since "phone storage" is a kind of SD which is less used than the "internal storage", is advisable to share the space like this:
2,5Gb: apps / internal storage
80Mb: phone storage
Remaining: ocuppied by the Android ROM
To do that, you just have to use one of these ZIP files:
2,5Gb (recommended) http://www.multiupload.nl/89HKJLG1BI
1,5Gb http://www.multiupload.nl/ZLVMPDAO1V
a) copy the ZIP file to the microSD card
b) Enter recovery console
c) Make a full backup
d) Apply update from SDCard -> choose the ZIP (1,5gb or 2,5gb)
e) reboot and restart phone - (it will say that the storage is corrupted, but don't mind it for now)
f) if the space is not OK (eg: still 500Mb), power off -> enter console recovery -> restore your backup
i) after reboot, and after having the desirable space (2.5gb or 1,5gb) you can go with Android suggestion, and format the SDCard -> the error will disapear. (Notice: you are not formating the microSD card, just the "internal phone" storage

OP6 - Correct problems with GPS
There have been a lot of comments about the GPS functionality on this phone, including several tweaks and tutorials, some with hardware changes, etc..etc...
What I have acknowledged, after having 2 original (no modifications) UMI X1 side by side (one with a KFT antenna, and other without it):
1- It's advisable to do some things in order to make the GPS work faster when you need it
2- GPS reception is not extraordinary good, but it also is not bad, and surely not worse than most Android models with GPS, including the ones from Samsung
3- Antenna changes, or metalic foil "upgrades" may or not be positive, regarding increased signal. Whoever wants may try it, but not necessarily needing to damage/open your UMI X1.
4- About the EPO files: there was some problems with Mediatek servers on Nov/2012, but they look to be solved now, so you won't need to download these files via a FTP client. Just let your phone do it!
However, if your EPO files are not downloading, (goes till 25% or 50% and restarts):
- Install app "Root Browser Lite"
- Goto /data/misc
- Change permissions of mtkgps.dat, EPO.DAT and EPO.MD5 to 7777 (read, write, execute, etc..)
- Check that now Android can download and recognize the EPO files (with 1 month between the 2 dates)
What you can DO to make your GPS better and faster:
a) Download GPS.CONF from your country (e.g. this is from Portugal: LINK). Copy it to /etc (delete the one that was there previously)
(alternatively, use the "PIMP MY ROM" software)
b) Reboot
c) Go to an excelent visibility site (if possible, with clear sky)
d) Enter Engineering Mode: dial nr *#*#3646633#*#*
e) EPO TAB: Enable EPO
f) A-GPS TAB: Enable A-GPS
--- Allow network initiated request
--- Allow EM notifications
g) GPS TAB: GPS(ON)
h) Use "GPS TEST" app to clear the A-GPS, and then start checking the sattelite coverage
i) If it is your first time: WAIT... WAIT.. WAIT... It can take 20mins or more to catch the first satellite. then the second one... slowly... until you get a FIX... and then the accuracy will progressively be better
On next usage (even after reboot), the GPS will be ready and probably get a fix in less than 30seconds!
j) Install a navigation Software (eg: Ndrive or one from GooglePlay)

OP7 - Install Flash Player
Just install this app: http://www.multiupload.nl/72WANNVLKP
(it works on Android 4.1.2 JellyBean straight from the standard browser/Navigator, but you can also try Dolphin browser)

hello
any body have rom with habrew? like etotalk.com flashing..
arouvor which
What are your experiences on the 15.03 Lewa OS?
Thank you for all the info pal.
Sent from my UMI X1 using xda app-developers app
thanks! i got myself a UMI X1 who had ICS on it but now im on JB and i dont know why but the Shuame tools didnt worked till i read your post xD and i did exactely the same manipulation luckystar? maybe
big thanks:good::highfive:
sadpart my X1 has only a plain black back cover xD i wanted the "carbon" lookalike one :crying: but i will survive :silly:
one thing ... on the description they write : 2G:GSM 850/900/1800/1900 3G:WCDMA 2100mhz normaly isnt the 900mhz 3G too? in my box its written 2G 800/850/1800/1900 3G 900/2100mhz, that bug me a a little since Sunrise have 3G under the 900mhz and i get only Edge when i activate data and 3G in setup, is it a known problem (i've seen some people getting 3g and other dont) does a fix exist or its only operator related?
on the other hand i use my X1 with only one sim (in the W slot since the G is for GSM so i doubt W wouldnt mean WCDMA) what i suspect is : if there is only one sim in the phone does it works by default on 2G only? or am i paranoid...
UMI x1 problems
Hi All
I was just following your procedure for CW recovery and the fist screen i got after the UMI screen was a list off chinese characters in to left corner.
Like other ndroid phones i have rooted I decided to get out and thinking the last set in the list was "power off" I tried that without luck now I have a screen with chinese charactors high lighted and the next line in english is camera with a space then home. Niether the power button or the volume button make any change.
Have I bricked the phone?
Can anyone help me please.
Thanks in advance Davoh:crying:
Hello All,
I have tried to root my UMI X1, but it keeps failing.
At first, I tried to follow the first step here. On my screen appeared prompt to restore my data from computer and the Shuame wizard showed me an image, that refers to accept the restoration of the data. (I didn't loose anything, because I had it in factory state...) After confirming, UMI just restarted and rooting process seems to be completed, but not correctly.
From two available buttons in wizard I guessed, that it was cancel and retry options.
I even try to access root explorer, but still "no root permission".
Now I was confused, so I try to do all from start. I wiped my phone, uninstall the wizard, set the english on phone, installed the wizards again and tried the whole procedure again.
...with the same result, of course.
So, I looked at the main page of Shuame, translate it to english through google and I found practically the same manual to root the phone.
And again, I followed the steps by this manual, and now.... surprisingly with the same NEGATIVE result.
At the end of that manual was reference to the advanced procedure how to root the phone, where I was supposed to download their .zip file, oped it with the wizard and let him upload the files to my phone.
Well, I followed this manual also. But the process has the same result.
Now I am desperate and I'm not able to find any other solution on the net. Please help.
I need to fix my GPS.
Hello All,
I left my UMI without battery for 2 days and I was searching for other solutions.
I don't know how, but after two days I tried the same procedure again. For my big surprise, I was able to root my phone and flash the CWM.
I was happy to finally see some results, but little bit to early.
I try one ROM here and it was installed without problems. Booting was a little longer, but nothing uncommon.
After boot I changed language to EN and tried to connect to my wifi at home. But now I found even bigger problem, than not working GPS.
My wifi stucked. The message was telling me "Turning on...", but it was there "like-forever".
I opened engeneering mode and looked at status of wifi - "UNINITIALIZED".
My guess was, that I lost drivers to wifi adapter, but I didn't how. So I started looking on internet for wifi problems with UMI X1... and didn't find even one solution. Nobody on the whole internet seems to have some problems with wifi.
OK, wifi out, I tried to fix GPS as well. Suprisingly no singal (or all satellites were on the other side of the planet. )
I came up with idea, it could be problem with this ROM, so I tried every one with the same steps like the first one. Still the same state.
This situation is driving me crazy and I am obviously loosing my mind.
Please, if anyone could be just a little helpful, I will VERY appreciate that. :crying::crying::crying:
Thank you all.

But I can't get the mobile data to work, I know I have to add the settings, but after doing it and selecting them, I just can't browse at all.

Make sure that you have your SIM in correct slot. For me mobile data were working correctly, but i had to switch SIM to "W" (W-CDMA).

Thanks for your response.
For now I'm using only the W-CDMA slot, but still no good.
Any other advice?
I found my X1 to be edge only, i also use the W slot only too but it seems he goes hspa when il not home (i live in a middle altitude place) i guess the reception quality isnt good as my One X.
In fact it does exactely like my huawei ideos x1 (U8180) so i guess chinese brand doesnt like mountains
More on it ask your operator wich band they use for 3g... Here Sunrise use the 900mhz wich is either GSM or WCDMA

Hi, i bought an UMI X1 recently and i want to install a rom to fix GPS problem, but unfortunately the phone isn't rooted, so i've tried using the last version of shuame, but i can't get the phone rooted. I start the wizard, with the phone connected, and after a while it shows the screen that talks about restore my data, but i don't understand what it says in the screen of shuame, because it squares the option "Restore my data" but i don't know if i have to press that. But, well, i press that button, then it restarts, and in the shuame screen it shows a blue button that if i press and it hasn't detected the phone after the restart, it shows some message, and until is recognized again by shuame, it shows like it's working again and after a while it shows again the "Restore my data" stuff, so i don't know if i have to press some button or just wait, anyone has experimented this problem?
There-s an image of the screen of shuame that i get (sorry i cannot insert images yet)

-------------------------------------------
Warning: Follow these steps. All of them. If you do, it will work. If you misread or miss a step or skip a step because you are hurrying through the process, it WILL brick your tablet. Flashing is a relatively simple process but it requires patience. If you don't have the time to read all of the directions and follow them, YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO FLASH, and stick with your old firmware.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT THIS ROM HAS CAUSED. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK! SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY CLONES OF THIS TABLET, DON'T EXPECT IT WILL WORK PERFECTLY.
-------------------------------------------
Note: I'm not so good in English and grammar, so bear with me. The images is not so clear co'z im using webcam for fast capture and focusing.
If I made mistakes, corrections are welcome.

This guide is for Windows XP, I'm windows7 user before but I downgrade because I want to use my other old softwares for flashing. If you get the idea you can do this also on windows7.
------------------------------
NOTE:
- For windows7 user Run As Administrator the IUW application.
- 64bit Operating System may not work with IUW application.
------------------------------
NOTE: If your tablet showing version 6.1.5 (559[or higher]) or 0.6.1.2(587) Then you can skip some part of the guide. Scroll down directly to the "Alternative Solution" using MicroSD burning. You still need to download the Android 2.2 Froyo Main Firmware.
------------------------------
:: Preparing the Male to Male USB Cable :: (if you have one skip this)
Ok let's start, what you need is a male to male USB cable, if you don't have one you can make your own male to male cable.
Tools
- 2 USB Cable
- Scissor or Cutter
- Electrical Tape or anything to cover the exposed wire
- Solder Lead (Optional)
- Soldering Iron (Optional)
1. Cut each USB to the nearest tip of the female, to make your USB cable longer.
2. Cut each end of the USB to expose the wires and copper wires.
3. Now you can connect each end of the USB, and twist each wires, you can solder it if you like.
4. Now you can tape each wires, and tape all the wires.
This is the finish product.
:: Preparation for Files and Flashing Procedures ::
*Note: Please PM me if there are missing links.
Download IUW 1.1 Flashing Tool
Download Firmware V2852
Download Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587) working camera
Download Main Android 2.2 Froyo ROM with Flash 10.1
Download New Ramdisk image to change the path of save files to SDCard1
Download Extra Tools Apps
Updated ROM: 25.11.2011

- then reboot.
Remove all microSD so that it will not start burning if you have firmware on your microSD.
Visit this link how to clean the data for your tablet.
------------------------------------------------------------
:: Let's Start ::
1. Make a Folder on your desktop for fast track of your files, I named it Froyo 2.2 and save all your downloaded files here.
2. Download IUW Flashing tool, and save it inside the folder of your desktop.
3. After download, unpack it inside the folder.
NOTE: Your tablet should be full charged, and connect the charger while flashing, just to make sure it will not drain much power on your tablet. Don't forget also to remove all your MicroSD cards from the tablet.
4. Since your done making your USB Cable, your tablet should be off and plug the other end USB to the PC and plug the other end on your tablet USB Port between the headphone jack and SDCard Slot 1.
5. Open the IUW application, select Link USB on the left side. And on the Link information the DV (driver) is greyed, because it's not detecting the tablet with driver.
6. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC..."
7. A New Hardware notification will pop up on your PC Screen.
(you have 2 minutes to setup this or the tablet will boot normally)
Select Advance, Next.
Browse the driver from your desktop inside the folder "otg_driver"
Then it will install the driver.
The flasher will turn to green.
:: FLASHING V2852 ::
This rom will only run on tablets which display a version number in the bottom-right "Infotmic" screen when first turned on.. If yours doesn't display a number there, you will need to flash firmware v2852 first.
8. 'Choose a wrapped image' press the "..." button Select the IUS file "WWE10B_Android_393477-v9full.ius"
9. Click 'burn' to flash the tablet.
This picture is flashing the tablet.
10. After burning finishes, plug out the USB cable and press Reset, then restart the device.
:: Flashing UBOOT ::
11. Open UIW application, and connect your tablet USB to PC.
12. Select "Link USB" on "USB Mode:" select "Expert Mode" Uncheck all except "UO".
13. Browse the "u-boot-nand.bin" the one with working camera.
14. After flashing this is the result.
15. Your screen with start to flicker, it will start to initialize.
16. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration.
:: Flashing IMAGES ::
17. Power off your tablet, and prepare again the UIW to flash the main android 2.2 firmware.
18. Click Link USB, and select Expert burn.
NOTE: Use the other Ramdisk.img fix you download, not from the flash10.1-android2.2 folder.
19. Power up the tablet with this combination Power + Menu button for few seconds until you see the message on your tablet "Communicating with PC...", if the Dv is green your ready and click the burn button.
20. I will take time to load up, until you are in display calibration and your Done!
:: Alternative Solution ::
If you cant burn the main android image using USB method. You can try the MicroSD card method, but this is only applicable if your tablet will display the version under the InfoTMIC start up logo.
Lets make a bootable MicroSD, to convert the file size to 700~705MB, you need a MicroSD at least 1GB.
Download WinHex with MicroSD Clone Image.
1. Open your WinHex
2. Click Tools->Disk Tools->Clone Disk->
3. On Source Raw Image: click the file button.
locate the "aben.start sector" file, click open.

Confirmed that the 3G USB modem Huawei E1752 is working perfectly. Just create an APN and reboot while the Huawei E1752 is in the USB port.. After startup it makes a connection and works fast!
manually created an APN in settings/connections/mobile providers and configured for your local provider. Also enabled data connection, otherwise I won't start searching. After that reboot and it started working. No specials actions required.

Can you see the version under the InfoTMIC start up logo?
If you can see it then you are ready to update using MicroSD method.
@smarkies
no there is no version number
first time I connected to pc it said found new hardware but no driver. There I selected the otg driver in the package.
Burntool does connect and goes up from 0 to 100 procent (very quick about 7 secs.) when i burn but when i check im still on my previous build.
After that I tried to update to other firmware using update.zip on winhexed sd card. This did work so now I am on 1623 build.
after that I tried again using burntool but still didnt work out.
In the folder containing the 2852 rom there are also two folders
0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and
0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005
both contain uboot and uboot nand files is there something I have to do with them before I can flash?
Any advice?
Other thing I noticed: in recovery menu there is a line saying:
e:can't open / cache / recovery / command
It didnt stop me from update with update zip but could it be the reason burntool isnt working for me?

dont touch any file inside the folder of 0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and 0.6.1.5_1.4.587_GT2005.
Try to burn the UO first, u-boot-nand.bin the one with working camera, if not try this another u-boot-nand.
Then burn the Main Image Android Rom.
Thanks for the quick repy to be sure I wont Brick my Pad
for the uo file I use Uboot - V 0.6.1.2(587) or uboot - 0.6.1.5 (587)
and for the ROM files I only use files from the 20110416-v1001 folder?
If so I will burn right away

I abused my pad flashing many times, and still it is alive, It will brick if your USB cable is poorly made, or overpowered that will fry the motherboard of your tablet, just like what happen to other people.
the safest way to flash is microSD, but it is tricky with this froyo update that's why I risk on flashing using USB.
V 0.6.1.2(587) this one has working camera. But you can try both uboot to display the version under the InfoTMIC logo. But I use V 0.6.1.2(587) coz I want the camera to work fine.
Yes the files inside the 20110416-v1001 folder except for the u-boot-nand inside.
If the USB flashing doesnt work you can try the alternative, using the microSD.
Thank u very very much worked like a chime.
camera and wifi are working I used uo V 0.6.1.2(587)
will play with it tonight to see what else it can do now

IUW does not work with 64 bit
Please add in the OP that some on other forum sites have confirmed that IUW does NOT work with any 64 bit operating system.
I will link to reference if I come across it again...
For Development USB debugging options for Z4Root, you may also want to link to my post HERE.
quick tip for windows 7 users, picture 6 will not happen, at least it didn't for me, you need to navigate to devices and printers, find the unknown device, and manually install the otg driver
Works as advertised.
I bricked my tab first, but got it up and running again with your step by step guide. Many thanks!
I followed your instruction for SD card and it worked perfectly. I now have the 3925 version on my Superpad and it seems to be working well. Definite improvement on Angry Birds(which I play way too much) and Home Run Battle 3D. WiFI works fine, don't know about GPS or camera as I don't really use them, but I will check just for curiosity sake Seems to be faster and I have had no random lockups that I had with the v5 I had on previously. I will report back as I use it. Thanks for all the great work!

Yes, that's why I made it with Windows XP, and we are aware that 64bit OS is so choosy in terms of software compatibility.
About the USB Debugging, I already made a guide after the Flashing/Burning guide.

If you like to contribute for a guide in windows 7 is welcomed.

How to Root
This was a hard & long trial to get this phone rooted. Though, it's a very simple way found by me and yuweng, thanks bro!
Based on yuweng's tutorial : MT6577 CWMR Root Updated V2[/b]
Download these and follow the tutorial:
ADB.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?11cbu388oqu8amw
All the Drivers I could find - http://www.mediafire.com/?wfr5fgkxkdau6w4
CWMR Recovery's.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?2r30o428558h22q
MTK Rom Studio 1.1.77.146.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?h22puc8kac6axv7
SP Flash Tool v2.1134.00.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?ob5caeigzc1ga10
SP Flash Tool v3.1224.0.sn85.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?5u29nf4fp4omw9n
Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?fee3e7cta5mg3fp
- Setting up the folders and phone (to make it easy)
1. Create a folder in C:\ called "GooApple"
2. Extract all the ZIP files EXCEPT "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip" to "C:\GooApple\" so you have 6 folders in GooApple.
3. And copy "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip" to "C:\GooApple\"
4. I prefer doing a factory reset before doing this.
* Factory reset can be found at Settings > General > Privacy > Factory data reset > Reset phone
5.Now enable Unknown sources, USB debugging and Stay Awake.
* Unknown sources can be found at Settings > Store.
* USB debugging and Stay Awake can be found at Settings > Store > Development.
6. Make sure all drivers are installed properly. Some might install when connecting the USB.
7. Turn off your phone and unplug your USB cable from the phone (Let the USB be in your computer/laptop)
- Backup your own recovery (not required but suggested)
8. Open "Flash_tool.exe" from version "3.1224.0.sn85".
9. Click on File > Open Scatter-loading file, then browse to "C:\GooApple\MTK Rom Studio 1.1.77.146" and open "MT6573_Android_scatter.txt".
10. Click on the Read back tab (top). (If there is anything in the list, please Remove it.)
11. Click on Add and double click on the ROM_1.
12. Now type recovery.img at Filename, then browse to "C:\GooApple\MTK Rom Studio 1.1.77.146\SPFT_UPLOAD" and click Save.
13. In the popup, select
* Type: Hex
* Read Method: Read Page Only
* Start Adress: 0x980000
* Length: 0x00500000
And click Ok
This info can be found when loading the Firmware.info in MTK Rom Studio
14. Click on Read back. Now hold the "Volume -" button and insert the USB in your phone. It should say OK at the end.
Now you have a backup of your original recovery.img in case you want to restore it.
- Installing CWM Recovery (REQUIRED FOR ROOTING!!)
14. Go to the CWMR Recovery's folder, then choose if you want the Standard CWM or the Touchscreen CWM and copy the recovery.img included to "C:\GooApple\MTK Rom Studio 1.1.77.146"
* Standard CWM is controlled by Volume up and down. Touchscreen CWM is controlled by both.
15. Open "Flash_tool.exe" from version "2.1134.00".
16. Click on Scatter-loading and browse to "MT6573_Android_scatter.txt" in MTK Rom Studio and open it. (Click OK on the popup)
17. Now make sure everything is unchecked EXCEPT "RECOVERY". (Don't forget that your phone should be turned off and unplugged.)
18. Now click on download and insert your USB cable. It should say OK at the end.
Now you have CWM Recovery installed.
- Rooting the phone
19. Start your phone and connect to USB Storage Mode.
20. Copy "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip" to the ROOT of your SDcard. And turn off USB Storage (but keep your USB in)
21. Now boot your phone into recovery mode. There are 2 methods, I prefer method #2 as it's more safe and works most often. (Someone's phone kept vibrating while doing method #1)
* Method #1:
- Shut off your phone (wait untill it vibrates to make sure it's completely off).
- Hold the "Volume +" button and the "Power" button.
- You now are in recovery or your phone keeps vibrating.
* Method #2:
- With your phone on, start "cmd.exe" as administrator on your PC.
- Type "cd C:\GooApple\ADB" (without the "") and press enter.
- Type "adb reboot recovery" (without the "") and press enter again.
- Your phone shall reboot in recovery.
22. In recovery, select "install zip from sdcard", then "choose zip from sdcard" and select "Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2-Update1-signed.zip". Select "Yes - Install ..."
* Recovery Controls (Standard CWM)
Volume + = UP
Volume - = DOWN
Power = Select
Home = Go to +++++Go Back+++++
23. Once completed, select Go Back, and select wipe data/factory reset.
24. Now select "reboot system now".
And here we go... Your GooApple V5+ is Rooted !
Thanks again yuweng for the support !

How to Increase Internal Memory - INT2EXT method (ROOT required)
"INT2EXT on MT6575 / 77 for the extreme gamers !" for GooApple V5+ thanks to yuweng !
- NOTE: THE PHONE TENDS TO BE SLOWER AS IT HAS TO LOAD FROM THE SDCARD
Based on yuweng's tutorial : http://www.mediafire.com/view/?7zjz4onhos826bk
Download and/or install and extract these:
MiniTool Partition Wizard (Home edition) - http://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html
INT2EXT-mtd.7z (Includes install-recovery.sh) - http://www.mediafire.com/?16psto1xqw4b0s0
Notepad++ (To edit install-recovery.sh) - http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.2.3.html
ES File Explorer File Manager - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lc3Ryb25ncy5hbmRyb2lkLnBvcCJd
BACKUP YOUR GOOAPPLE V5+ WITH CWMR
1. First I installed and opened MiniTool Partition Wizard and mounten my SD card (32gb & Class10) with going in USB Storage Mode.
2. In MiniTool Partition Wizard, I selected my drive and resized it from 29gb to 26gb (FAT32).
3. Then I selected the remaining 2.5-3gb and created a new partition : Primary , Ext4 , 4kb. Don't forget to click Apply at the top left.
4. Then I extracted INT2EXT-mtd.7z and installed Notepad++.
5. With Notepad++ , I opened install-recovery.sh and changed unbind to bind in lines 61, 66, 71 and 98. Then saved it.
6. Now I copied the EDITED install-recovery.sh to the root of my /sdcard/ (Location when you open your phone).
7. Having ES File Explorer File Manager (EFEFM) installed, give it Root acces via the Settings at the bottom (check everything at root settings).
8. Next, select install-recovery.sh in EFEFM and copy it to /system/etc/ and give it full read/write/execute acces.
9. After this is done reboot your phone. For me, after the first boot it just shutted off. So then I had to power it on again and I had 2.6gb internal memory.
Hooooorah ! :good:
Thanks again yuweng for the files, info, tutorials and time !

Change BOOT logo to iPhone's Apple
So this will change the boot logo of your GooApple from an Android logo to Apple logo.
The things you need:
The boot images - http://www.mediafire.com/?363hvgcmw46wl6w
ES File Explorer File Manager or Root Explorer
1. Extract the iphoneboot.zip to your /sdcard/ so you have /sdcard/system/logo/...
2. Open the file manager, browse to /sdcard/ and copy the system folder.
3. Next go to the root of your phone and change the permissions to R/W.
4. Now paste the system folder here so it overwrites the system logo files.
5. Reboot your phone and voila, now you have the iphone boot !

Tips&Info
- Make 3 backups of your phone through CWM Recovery because some might get corrupt.
- Use Titanium Backup Pro or a similar tool to remove unused/chinese system apps.
- The MTK6575 can be compared to the PowerVR processor. So the PowerVR games work on the GooApple V5+.

Your phone is being recognized as a Android Alps phone which a lot of apps don't even recognize.
So the best thing you can do is change your "build.prop" a little to increase the compatibility.
For example, yesterday I bought N.O.V.A. 2 which says it's not compatible (but it is).
1. Open Root Explorer or something similar.
2. Go into /system/ folder. Make sure the folder is R/W.
3. Press and hold on build.prop then select "Open in Text Editor".
4. Next, change the following.
- ro.product.model=GT-I9000
- ro.product.brand=samsung
- ro.product.name=GT-I9000
- ro.product.device=GT-I9000
- ro.product.board=GT-I9000
- ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
5. Then go back and it will ask you to save it. Save it.
6. Now reboot your phone and try again with more compatibility !

This is the original ROM that comes with the phone : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/76038325/Gooapple_V5_Plus_ROM_A116A_V1.0_P2MB3_20121110.rar
To check which ROM version you need, dial *#2170#*.
The number didn't work for me but they said it works at the official GooApple site. I used A116_4S to update my phone.
IF YOU FOUND SOMETHING OR JUST WANT TO ASK SOMETHING PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST BELOW
I really want to thank the following people:
yuweng - Always helping me out with troubles.
bigrammy - Giving me the tip to use an older version for doing a Download in SPFT.
The phone can be bought at Android-Sale.com
What I wish to do with this phone and might need help for:
ROM (standard and v5+4s_a116_ios_root_12.11.16_Launcher)
- Get GPS to work on my phone. (Still don't know if it's just me or the phone.)
- Change the USB Storage Mode image to something like the iPhone by editing Framework-res.apk.
- Increase Internal memory by taking System's memory.
ROM (v5+4s_a116_ios_root_12.11.16_Launcher only)

GooApple V5+ Manual
Thanks to "Q" for looking up this valuable information !
How to take a screenshot:
Tap both the "Home"-button and "Power"-button simultaneous. If you have sounds activated, you'll hear a shutter sound.
How to force restart:
Deep at the bottom of the 3.5 headphone jack there is a restart-button. Use a small tool like a bent paperclip or toothpick to reach it.
You can use this restart-button if your phone freezes and can not be restarted using the normal power-button.
THIS IS A LIFESAVER !
Recovery-menu explained:
The Recovery-menu is a boot-menu that can be used to backup, restore, clean cache or change ROMs in your GooApple phone.
This menu can be either in English or Chinese and may vary slightly depending on what type of Recovery came pre-installed on your phone.
You can install a different Recovery-menu on your phone like CMWR / TWPR
To access the Recovery-menu:
- Turn off your phone.
- Press and hold the PLUS-button and POWER-button on your phone until you arrive at the recovery menu.
NOTE: Depending on ROM and Recovery-version, you may actually need to press MINUS-button and POWER-button to access the Recovery-menu
Factory-test-menu:
This can be used to test the hardware functionality of your phone.
To access the Factory-test-menu:
-Turn off your phone.
-Press and hold the PLUS-button and POWER-button on your phone then lose it and hold it again after the vibration.
NOTE: It doesn't always work so you really need the perfect timing.
Navigating the user-interface:
This menu you can close running apps on the background so pretty usefull sometimes.
- Double-tap the "Home"-button shows running/standby apps and possibility to close apps by long-pressing icons in deployed menu.
- Double-tap the "Home"-button at the unlock-screen will show you the music player and a button to quickly acces the camera.
- Hold the "Home"-button to acces Wallpaper and Settings faster.
- Pressing the "+"-button when using the camera will take a picture.
NOTE: Double tapping must have some kind of pace in pressing these 2. If you do it too fast, ut doesn't work.. but too slow, it doesnt work either, so it has to be right.
- "Long-pressing" an icon in the menu makes the icons jiggly so you can change the position of your icons by dragging them to a desired position or on another icon to create a folder.
- "Long-pressing" the MINUS-button can bring up a menu in some applications. - UNCONFIRMED
Trouble hanging up a phone-call?
- Holding the phone vertically during a call turns off the screen (if the light-sensor has been covered).
- Holding the phone horizontally for a few seconds, will turn the screen on again and display the "End call"-button.
NOTE: Make sure you never double-tap the "Home"-button during a call. It will minimize the calling session so you will still be calling in the background. So make sure you always press the "End call"-button.
Change user interface language
If you cleared user data when installing a new ROM, the phone is likely to boot up in Chinese. Follow these steps to change it back to English:
- Press the Settings-button (you can probably identify this by its icon).
- Select the 9th option (General)
- Select the 8th option (International)
- Select the 1st option (Select language)
- Select your language.
NOTE: If you want some influence of your native language, you can install MoreLocale2 from GooglePlayStore. Some apps will be in your native language.
How to change the IMEI-number:
To change the IMEI number, you most likely will have to use MTKdroidTools from MediaFire.com.
It has an option to change the IMEI number but for this, you will need:
- the ADB drivers to be installed.
- A new IMEI number with what you want to change the original one.
- Phone connected to your computer.
How to add more Ring, SMS, Notification - sounds on your GooApple:
- Connect the phone to a computer in USB Storage Mode.
- Create the following folders on your SD-card:
- Ringtones
- Alarms
- Notifications
- Move your own sounds into the appropriate folder.
- Adjust the sounds-settings on your phone here:
- Ring-tone: Settings>Audo profiles>General>Voice call ringtone
- SMS-tone: Settings>Auido profiles>General>Notification ringtone
- Alarm-tone: Enter your Clock-app and add a new alarm and you should be presented with ringtone-options.
How to remove the backcover and change the MicroSD:
You might want to remove the backcover to change the MicroSD card or maybe even to change the cover.
To remove the cover:
- Unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom of your phone. You need a special screwdriver for this.
- Slide the back cover up once the screws are removed.
To change the MicroSD:
- Having the cover removed, you will see the SD card to the left of the battery trapped in some aluminium cover.
- Slide the aluminium cover to the left and now you can remove the SD card.
To put the cover back on:
- Put the cover back in its place, then drag it down (instead of up to remove it).
- Put the 2 screws back

No problem !
And can anyone with a GooApple V5+ please try this to fix the GPS signal?
1. Charge your phone completely (100%)
2. Download and install Mobileuncle MTK Tools from Google Play.
3. Go to Settings > Location Services and turn off everything here. Also turn off WiFi.
4. Now turn off your phone. Then turn it back on and enable WiFi.
5. At Settings > Location Services
- Enable : Use wireless networks.
- Enable : Use GPS satellites
- Enable : GPS EPO assistance -> Go into EPO Settings and check the EPO file info if it's downloaded, if not, make sure you're connected to the internet and uncheck/recheck Auto Download.
- Enable : A-GPS
6. Open Start Mobileuncle MTK Tools and go to Information and click on Full , then Cold and go back to Satellites.
7. Go outside/window/balcony and after a while, the red dots should become green.

They say it works for MTK 657x models but it doesn't work for me. I keep getting red dots instead of green.
Drivers
Hi,
My Gooapple V5+ arrived.
I'm quite lost since no manual inside and this is my first android.
Regarding the rooting issue, I first decided install drivers. As I read, the process is connecting USB to PC and wait for Windows to ask something and then navigate to MT6575 USB VCOM drivers forder.
However, Win7 recognized V5+ as an Android device and installed some drivers, including "My HTC" (?)(!)
Now I can access SD card and maybe something else (I have no idea what) but I can't connect to internet through USB
The big quiestion now for me, in order to root the phone, is how to install drivers properly, bcos we have:
drivers preloader MT65xx
Android ADB Interface
MT6575 USB VCOM drivers
usb_driver
usb_driver_MT65xx_Android_ZTE_v821
I have a Win7 x64 laptop
About the GPS, I have just attempt fix my possition with "MAPS", but despite I downloaded some file, I can't fix possition bcos I'm indoors now.
Thanks for any comments
I'm not sure how the USB thetering works but I'll look into it.
About the drivers. I do it like this: plug it in, then choose the DRIVERS folder and let it choose automaticly.
Android device is correct, but I haven't seen the HTC one though, I'd recommend uninstalling that one.
But really , it can do a lot if you just plug it in, let it search the driver automaticly (don't select any specific folder, just DRIVERS if you really need to).
Also the VCOM driver is more for when you're about to flash your recovery through SPFT which it will install automaticly.
If you need any "personal" help on rooting it, feel free to ask, I'll support you via skype/facebook/teamviewer.
And I too am using Win7 64bit
It seems that Win7 installs a Google pack of USB drivers when detects Android devices.
Maybe this one I found:
softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Google/Google-USB-Driver-Revision4.
And bcos GooApple is not in the list, Win7 chooses HTC that has 6575 chip aswell.
I will try to uninstall "My HTC" but Windows prefer this to any in the DRIVERS folder, perhaps is more up-to-date.
Any way, automatic driver download/installing maybe problematic with this phone.
Thanks a lot for support. I will need some days to become familiar with the phone before the next level
Thank you, is a very useful guide ! :good:

Ehm it shouldn't say GooApple V5+ in device manager.
For me it says Android Phone > Android ADB Interface and when I turn on USB storage, I just get Portable Devices: G:\.
So yeah, strange it uses HTC. And sorry that I cannot explain properly how to install the drivers because I just installed a few drivers , uninstalled some and installed some other and it worked.
But the most important thing is that the VCOM driver is installed. Which will automaticly install once you try the *Read Back* method. OR this might work too:
Turn off your phone. Plugin the USB cable in your computer but not in the phone (yet).
Now hold the Volume + button and then insert the USB cable into your phone. I think now, it should install the VCOM drivers automaticly.
And no problem Anhuc ! I haven't had time to test some things as I'm in a period of getting a job for the rest of my life
Drivers Problem Fixed!!
Well, for some reason my V5+ only accept VCOM driver if press "+" when plug-in USB in phone OFF, as you suggested.
If connect USB to PC with phone "ON" it ONLY accepts Android ADB Composite Interface, as you said.
So thanks everybody for suggestions and comments. I thing the first challenge overcome :good:
PS:
About the HTC driver I had first, maybe it was bcos I had MOBILE-EDIT software, wich installs many drivers, so I had to remove it from ControlPanel/Pograms/Unistall
But after it, connected phone to PC and it installed automatically "My HTC" driver again
So removed driver from DeviceManager and also removed Google Android USB Package from PC execiting "pnputil.exe -e" in command prompt, to see the OEM# of package, then removed with "pnputil.exe -d Oem#.inf"
Seems extrange but works great. (see details here: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730875.aspx)
I have taken some screen shots of this in case someone need.
Hope may help people with persistent drivers....

Good to hear that Q and thanks for sharing the information on what was causing it !
It can always help someone else out who has the same issue.
Anyways, I guess you can get to the part of flashing the phone with CMWR right?
I suggest jus reading the first part of the Rooting untill installing CMW and start there as thats the basic thing you need to do as the files I uploaded already include the patched recovery.img.
To see some pictures, check this out : http://www.mediafire.com/view/?8mxvy0ey5yfdu59 page 16 thats basicly how to Download recovery.img to your phone. But always follow my tutorial or ask me to do it for you
GPS without signal
Yes, I downloaded averything from v5+ tutorial and carefully read and understood this excellent work.
However, manage GPS to work is my priority now.
Is there any light in the dark?
I tried and tried, downloaded EPO files, used MTK Tools and even installed an iGo My Way version compatible with Retina screen.
One hour in the field and only saw a little signal bar of one satellite (if it was a satellite) but no points (red or green) at all in MTK Tools.
Have someone seen at least a single pretty point in the grid?
Thanks for any help.

Ooh thanks for helping out.
I do get red dots yeah but they don't turn green :/
Things you could try is
Download GPS Status & Toolbox : Launch GPS Status & Toolbox. You'll see a compass and some other stats. Hit the menu button for more options.
Make sure you have an active data connection and go to "Manage A-GPS State". Then, tap the "Download" button in the menu that pops up. When it's done, exit the app.
And another thing that made me come closer was changing the gps.conf but I dont remember what tool to use. You can do it manually though. (It's located in system/etc)

I don't think so, you can still do it without losing everything.
Just flash the recovery.img, then install the rooting zip and you're good to go !

Again I had to reset from 3.5mm jack
All ok, no problems (perhaps battery icon, but not sure)

Update 12.04.2013: Different Sound improvements
People who have problems with sound try this link from Zopo-Forum
or from Patchworkoftips
Update 11.04.2013: Data Resize partition to 2.74GB Detailed description from here
1. We backup with recovery.
2. Unloaded and 2.74GB decompressed data (Thx to spanish friends! ).
3. SP Open Flashtool and as we have done before installing the recovery in scatter-loading MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt select the file in the folder where we unzipped 2.74GB Data
4. We ensure that only EBR1 and EBR2 are marked.
5. We Give to Download, accept the prompt, connect via USB the phone off the PC. As with the recovery if the process fails, disconnect the cable, remove and put the battery and repeat this step.
6. If all goes well, will back the green circle. Disconnect the phone from the PC.
7. Now we go back to recovery (Turn on the phone by holding the power key + volume +).
8. In the recovery do wipe data / factory reset.
9. Optionally if you want to restore the data and installed applications we advance restore, choose the backup you made in step 1, and finally we give to Restore data.
10. Reboot from recovery. In this first boot after repartitioning we may see a notification saying the phone storage is damaged, then click in it. It will show a dialog box asking if you want to format the SD card, does not refer to the External SD but the phone's internal memory, so we do not fear clicking on Format. After doing the latter, voila, you have the Data partition (where apps are installed) extended to 2.74GB
Update 08.04.2013: 3G improvement

Install from market the mobileuncle tools.
-> enter engineer mode (MTK).

If someone needs root or cwm write me pm, or give me public upload location I´m not so experienced with this,...
Best regards
Thanks for the advice

The MT6589 is really good stuff, for me its my personal Favorite , but I would prefer smaller devices with 4-4,7" max screensize.
5,5" and higher does not really fit in any shirt pocket. If I ever have to carry a bag for my phone I would prefer a tablet with much better screens and battery life.
So i´m looking forward to Jiayu G4, G5, UMI X1S, or something similar screensize

Now I still have two problems:
- amazon app-shop doesn't start (it remains black with amazon logo)
- doesn't vibrate on call in vibration mode
does someone else have the same problems?
Thanks
B94M/B943 quad
Thank you everyone for your hard work and time. I have very little experience (twice with well established models)
I was wondering if someone could clean up the txt instruction translation so someone like me can avoid brick making. Even adding better detail would be sweet. I will copy below. Thanks in advance.
"ATTENTION: The Star B94M is available as dual and quad core version!
The tools here refer exclusively to Star B94M MTK6589 or B943 quadcore devices!
After extracting the zip file:
1. Debug Mode in the Developer Tools Switch
2. Install the drivers
3. The superuser-313-arm-signed.zip from third copy to the external SD card
4. Phone off and take out battery
5. using the SPFTools load in directory 2. Scatterdatei -> load and Recovery.img, boot.img and flash (press download and then return battery back)
6. Disconnect the data cable after green OK
7. When switching power and Vol + hold when the Green Man comes release Power and Vol + hold on.
8. In CWM now either only make complete backup, or install zip from SDcard install the superuser zip ...
9. skip step 7 +8 and install superuser using the MTKdroidtools and make backup (but it takes a relatively long time)
10. You can now delete with MTK Droidtool some China-apps."

vibration problem was a wrong setting by my side... still have problems with amazon app-shop (very strange, I've it installed on many devices and different versions of android, jelly bean included)

Thanks for the alert.
I've got a quad core 6589 version, so far cannot find a way to root it..
And it's NetworkLocation.apk is missing, i tried a couple of NetworkLocation.apk from JellyBean gapps zip files, no one seems to work, either not installable, crash on boot or not working.
3G connection seems to be dodgy, H/H+ is shown on the top bar but data is not coming down normally, during 1 minute, only less than 100k data come down and not able to load even 1 page...
Anyone has the same problem?

The MTK chipsets have always been weak on data connection starting from the MTK6573. It's so bad that connection can be lost while my Samsung right beside it has a good connection.
Anybody knows what is wrong with this China made phones?

I managed to root. Thanks for the help guys (sarcasm).......The files that "cmoegele" posted worked except for the usb driver files. I had to use PdAnet for connection. I'll be watching to see what other members find on the camera focus and poor data comms.
Thank You
Data upload is stable, and downlad has good values for a while, but slows down from time to time. So I think the device is not doing completly wrong. There needs to be still some finetuning in Baseband and Rom like man other devices always need.
The performance and quality is really good, even +2 days Batter lifetime is a good value for this powerful device.
I´m waiting for new Roms

Hi fmehrtens, may I know the RAM and ROM capacity of your phone model? I am wondering if 8GB ROM and 1GB RAM model can be rooted using same method, thanks.
Spec says 8GB ROM and 1GB RAM, however AnTuTu shows only 1GB ROM and 1GB RAM. Am I missing anything here?
Hello,
I've ordered this new phone Star One B943 Quad core, and i want to thank u for the rooting method ^^
I'm searching for the ROM stock, does anyone have the idea where i can find it ?
And i found that the Miz Z1 is the same phone, but with Android 4.2.1 installed. Do u think it's possible to upgrade the Star OS version with the Miz Z1 firmware ?

It is a 4G ROM and 1G RAM. Just FYI, the first time I tried to root it did not root, I had to try it a couple of times, and then I also loaded the ZIP file on the ROM memory along with the SD card. It worked that time. Not sure if that's what helped or not. The phone is a really nice phone ecpecially after rooting. I am also having trouble with Amazon App store app, Netflix playing too slow and the camera focus.
Good Luck and Thanks!

I have got a Copy of the origin Rom done with SPFTools. If it is needed. You also can use the Scatterfile from the zip-file.
Do you have a link for the 4.2.1 Miz Z1 firmware ? Perhaps its a fake,...
Otherwise I will flash it to our device except the Preloader, so if it fails I could go back to stock.

May I know the country you using the phone in? I have very bad experience with MTK chipsets with regards to data transfer. Other phones e.g. Samsung, LG do not give me this problem.
How to improve the data performance?

ColorOS --- i'm hesitant to upload because it has few yet ignorable problems. it uses the GB/ICS's /sdcard0/external_sd approach to fetch and enum files... the effect is Oppo Music and Filemanager is failing to get the files (we can use different music player and filemanager). Also OTG storage mounts ok, but there's no easy way to properly unmount it (i.e. unmount via terminal) ... unlike LewaOS that there's an item in its "Storage" settings that can be used to properly/safely unmount the storage.
I will try again after two weeks...

Just bought a Fuze, and wondering if my unit is defective or it really has issues with the edges of the touch screen. Whenever I use Touchpal X, I have trouble pressing the "a" key. I need to press slightly between "a" and "s" to get it to register.
I have the same issue with some games, when tapping on the very edge of the screen wont register. I have show touches enabled, and it shows the white circle, but the game won't respond at all. Any ideas? I'm running rooted stock rom with gravity box. The only other module i'm using is root cloak for avabel online.
Anyone have similar problems?
EDIT: Found the cause. I had Pie Controls set to 15px so it was eating a lot of screen space for activation. I disabled Pie and it works fine now

I need help
I formatted my PC (due to virus) then my Backup for Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 is lost.
Now my Q390 phone got corrupted and after formatting the phone Baseband is Unknown and IMEI is NULL. I need help by any chance any user with backup that I can use? I cannot write my IMEI because the phone its self has nothing to write on to. Phone is working can boot and etc except the baseband is gone and evidently no IMEI.

if you can get hold of a NVRAM partition from others phone (not necessarily Q390 - at least same SoC: MT6582), then you can flash it to your phone.
BUT, your phone will have the same IMEI as the source phone. So if you and source phone would use the same SP (Service Provider or network), and IF this SP is strict about cloned IMEIs, they could block this IMEI. Leaving both phones unusable to this network. So if you can get hold of NVRAM partition from somebody living abroad (i.e. foreigner), the better.
if you are rooted, and terminal (adb shell) savvy, you can write it it via dd, i.e.:
$ dd if=/path/of/nvram of=/dev/nvram
or you can flash it via SPFT memory write ("Window" menu -> "Write Memory").
1) Select "Write Memory" tab (after it is shown)
2) Select "EMMC" for the memory setting
3) Select/browse ("Open Raw Data") the NVRAM image for the "File Path"
4) "Begin Address (Hex)" = 0x1800000
5) "Container Length (Hex)" = 0x500000
6) Click "Write Memory"
7) Connect your phone to PC (must be turned off as you may already know)
The NVRAM image could be named as nvram.bin or something else. But it must be a raw image of NVRAM partition (/dev/nvram) from other phone. TWRP can do a backup of this partition by selecting it when you are about to perform TWRP backup.
If you want to temporarily restore your IMEI, you can try MTKDroidTools or Mobile Uncle Tools (apk)
LeWaOSV5.1 for CMFuze
- apps that show as 0.00kb in "All" and "Downloaded" are now shown ok
- added engineering mode to settings
- corrected some misspeling in english translation
- etc.

correct.
there's shouldn't be anything there...as it is not supposed to be a folder. for one, dd will not work in folder, so i really expect /dev/nvram to be not a folder, rather than a device file pointing to NVRAM partition (offset 0x1800000) of your Fuze's EMMC.
if you see /dev/nvram as a folder/directory (rather than a device file), then something's gone really wrong in your EMMC partitions.

Sir the multi touch for Fuze works well your device is not defective. You can't do multi touch if you press already on the left part for me it doesnt really makes sense why'd do that. Example you press arrow up button then you want to press A should you still use your right thumb well in fact the left thumb is already near it furthermore it doesnt affect when your playing games. Its just whenever your using the keyboard.

As I mentioned on my post. I factory formatted the partition. Well I sent back the device to Cherry Mobile so that they can repair it.I just have to wait for 1 month.

Unbrick your Tab!
To unbrick your device all you simply have to do is go back to the CWM and restore your backup that you created earlier. If you don't have one, here is a copy of a working backup ---> Google Drive. Credits to @andrei_kr, say thanks!
How to fix touch!
If you unbricked your tablet and your touch isn't working, there is no need to worry. @andrei_kr has provided a guide on how to fix that touchscreen. Credits to him.
NOTE: If your touch is working then do not try this, it will mess up your touch!!
You probably got this touchscreen issue by flashing a different kernel with incorrect drivers.
Now your configuration is likely to differ from the native. You can view the konifig in command prompt or in the terminal :
Code:
cat /proc/gt9xx_config
(only mtk) or using the gtp_tools apk (it is in the attached file below).
It starts with the byte sequence: 0x41 0x1C 0x02 0xC0 0x03
0x41 - 65 version
0x1C 0x02 - 540 horizontal resolution
0xC0 0x03 - 960 vertical resolution
Touch must somehow work to press the button, if there is support otg, then it's easier, you can connect a mouse.
1. Install the gtp_tools_v2.6_20140126_special.apk
2. Go to the option Firmware update. Click refresh, see IC Version: 913_1020 then touch GT913 firmware and 1020.
3. Go to the option Config Settings, press read, the data were considered. Under Normal Config we have:
65 version
540 horizontal resolution
960 vertical resolution
4. Click browse, select click browse to the native config.
5. Native configuration take from your device, in the same paragraph, press the save (saves the backup config file). Native configuration for Fly IQ446 in the attached file. Press send.
6. If nothing has changed, look at the version you have and native config. Then change the version of the file in the native config in your hex.
Example: 0x41 = 65 home, a stranger 0x49 = 73 => replace the 0x41 to 0x49.

Thanks for report.
First want to say much thanks for this thread, it was getting frustrating trying to find a solution.
I have encountered a slight issue trying to unstuck 2 of these devices.
neither have been rooted and are stock devices.
i cant seem to get cwm to locate the backup that you supplied.
do i need to copy it to the cwm backup folder on my sd card?

Yes you do. Copy it to your sd card. Btw if your device is stock why do you want to restore this one?

Oh I thought they were working. Follow the procedure above to fix.
NuVision TM101A510L
Will this method work with the NuVison TM101A510L. It seems like a lot of work to do if I'm not sure about this model. Also I have a problem with this model overheating and crashing when I play Pixel Gun 3d and it's pissing me off. I just fired off a curse filled missive to NuVision support. They don't even list this model on their registration page and it seems they have no faith in this model. I will never buy this brand again, in fact I would recommend against it to my customers. I've used Azpen tablets with no problem rooting or playing Pixel Gun 3d. I took a chance and I'm so damned sorry I did.

Thank you so much for this thread!!! I have been looking for a recovery for a few months now and cant believe I didn't find this until now...
ok so a minor problem... I cant seem to flash the recovery... Not sure if ive placed the recovery file on my sd card properly or not cause i locate a few backup files none of which have any effect. I gave up in frustration untill now. ( Currrently working on a few androids one rooting one imea changing so figured id take a crack at these devices again. THe layer of dust on these things are getting a bit thick.)

I think the models numbers are specific so I can't say for certain that this will work with your tab. Try the fastboot/rooting procedure first and then maybe you can just restore the system partition only not corrupting the boot/kernel.

You're welcome. I waited months also before finding a working backup.

You are using the fastboot method correct? If the recovery script says finished as in no errors show on the screen then it could be the device itself. What do you see?

ill let you know just as soon as i can get back to working on those devices... im prety sure if memory serves correctly, that I was getting some errors regarding unable to mound sd or ext sd. I could be wrong but thats what comes to mind.
Im up to my neck in jobs on other devices. (rooting galaxy S5, changing imei on another S5, IMEI change on a LG Stylo 2 plus, Galaxy Tab 2 system issues need to diagnose, and several screen and lcd replacments)
STUCK
ok so i have a little time to work on these....
When i run the launch.bat and get to fastboot, it goes through the instalation and everything checks ok till the very end where it says failed cause too many links.
included the screenshot so you can see.
At this point im unsure if i just need to try flashing the supersu zip like it instructs but having tried befor it had no luck.
can I not just flash twrp on this thing then su like with most root methods?
after ive flashed super su, when i go to restor the working backup i see a list of backups... including yours but when i select it i always get :
checking md5 sums...
md5 mismatch!
what now?
(i tried just flashing the boot but even that comes back with same error)
I know on other devices the recovery is an img file any the one you provide is a rar... i extracted to my desktop and was gonna try flashing with abd/fastboot but since its not an img file, im thinking it wont work...
any thoughts?
Im still unsure how to flash the recovery that u supply in the section for fixing bootloop....

The too many links error is common for this device. Touch doesn't work with TWRP on this device so CWM is out only go. You can root and using cwm like any other root method.
