Firmware and sources for Qmobile Noir A2 and A3(MT6575) - Android General

Hello! I am looking for sources for Fly Wizard Plus (Full analog Qmobile Noir A2, MT6575), for porting to Android 4.0 (Now able to run firmware from ThL A1, everything works except the touch screen).
Tried to ask for the source at Fly, but they refused, thus violating GNU GPL.
Forgive me for my bad English, it's because I'm Russian.

Is this the phone you are talking about http://fly-phone.com/devices/smartphones/iq245_wizard_plus/
I have this one rebranded as Noir A2(MTK6575 without GPS support 512MB Rom and 256 mb ram). Would that be of any help to you?

Yes, it's the phone, but does not want to Fly to develop the firmware, do not want to give enthusiasts the source and firmware.

[Q] envsetup.sh device profile

As I'm sure many will know Telechips do not release their SDK or linux BSP to people without buying and expensive development board and commitment to buying vast amounts of chips.
I have a cx-01 and the device is crippled on kernel features and force loading of kernel modules is disabled by default.
cnxsoft had some information regarding the kernel source release, but without framework recompile it won't boot.
Android source will give me the envsetup.sh, but misses the telechips profile out.
I wondered if anyone has the telechips 8923 folder in WORKING_DIRECTORY/device -if so where did you get it and can I have a copy.
Failing that I have a decompiled system image for the cx-01 and a copy of telechips 8902 profile-I wondered if it is possible to create a working tcc8923 with these?
I notice back in January nobody had a working custom kernel for this processor- am I barking up the wrong tree?
To build Android from source for a new device, you need to set up a board config and its makefiles. This is generally a long and tedious process. Luckily, if you are only building recovery, it is a lot easier. From the root of your Android source directory (assuming you've run envsetup.sh), run the following (substituting names appropriately): ( I gues envsetup.sh means running: 1: . build/envsetup.sh
2: lunch 3: 1 (my choice) 4: make m805_892x my tablet type)
build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh device_manufacturer_name device_name /your/path/to/the/boot.img
For my Tom-Tec 7 excellent, the command will go as follows :
Code:
build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh YG m805_892x ~/boot.img
> ore: build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh YG m805_892x ~/recovery.img
the later needed kernel is in recovery.img it seems.
Please note that m805_892x is the device name..... Only use "~/boot.img" if you have the boot image in your home directory. Or else please specify the correct path.
You will receive the confirmation "Done!" if everything worked. The mkvendor.sh script will also have created the following directory in your Android source tree:
manufacturer_name/device_name
YG/m805_892x
Sow get youŕe recovery.img and use that to get WORKING_DIRECTORY/device/YG/m805_892x
Device name is in build.prop
Try this link to see what it makes from the board config and its makefiles http://builder.clockworkmod.com
Personally i´m still stuck making a cwm recovery thats works 100% on my tablet.
I build from CWM source.

ROM Dump / Partitions / Scatter
When stuck / frozen on boot (bootloop) you can always reset by holding Volume Up & Power for over 12 sec!
Carlivs Tutorial is another good, clear and complete overview of all this!
You CAN NOT dump/read your phone with the official Acer drivers (no virtual COM port)!
I now succesfully used PDANet (See Tools / Drivers), but a lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers (MT6589 VCOM, MTK Preloader etc.
The only tool (see Tools section) working after a lot of trying (!) for me was (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344, and sometimes the newest 3.1408, both icw MTK Droid 2.5.3!
Read these 5 great (similar) ROM dump / flash tutorials (or read this tutorial about Android partitions):

In this table you find the partition name (all EMMC) (as found in the scatter file attached to this post, probably made by MTK Droid Root & Tools (see Tools section)), then the start adress and then the length, all in hex.
(This could also be done by connecting to phone (with USB Debug on) and using ADB: "adb shell cat /proc/dumchar_info")

ROM Installing / Updating
Basic instructions to update your phone (if not automatically Over The Air (OTA)) with a ROM ZIP using a recovery:
If you have the SP Flash Tool (see Tools), make a backup with that too
Install CWM (or any other custom recovery like Carliv's CTR or TWRP if available for E380)(see Root by Flash)
Download and unzip the ROM update (see Acer Update History and watch new posts)
Copy the FixPack-B.zip to SD card
(Re)Boot into recovery
Make a full backup in recovery (to SD)
Flash the FixPack-B.zip from recovery
Reboot & enjoy the new ROM / updated Android!
Root by flash (preferred method)
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT OR EVEN DANGEROUS!!!
When stuck / frozen on boot (bootloop) you can always reset by holding Volume Up & Power for over 12 sec!
Carlivs Tutorial is another good, clear and complete overview of all this!
Steps 0-4 are to be found explained more thouroughly and with images, in the tutorials in the ROM Dump section. Read them. Read them well!
All tools can be found in the Tools section.
Also, a short (better?) version by Shreps can be found here (or check this ChinaPhoneArena one).
0) Install drivers (see Tools) with a good USB virtual COM port emulation! Most simple is to install PDANet maybe, but lot of people seem to use so called VCOM drivers / MT6589 VCOM / MTK Preloader etc. Other option is the MTK USB All Developer drivers. Make sure connection is OK, and MTK Droid works (when phone is on)!
1) Create scatter file or use the one attached to this post.
2) Read back (stock) recovery (or all) partitions with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or download my stock recovery img here.
3) Download CWM 6.0.5.0 by vache or Carliv Touch Recovery CTR (2.7 for JB, 3.0 for KK) (thanks to vache/Shreps for CWM, thanks to Carliv for CTR!)(or make your own by MTK Droid altering stock recovery image);
4) "Download" (to phone) the custom recovery with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or use mine.
5a) Copy SuperSU zip to SD card, and boot your phone into CWM/Carliv recovery (hold volume up and turn phone on), and then Install zip from SD > install SuperSU.
5b) Te keep your custom CWM: Install SuperSU immediately after boot, and use File / Root Explorer to delete file ".. recovery .." in System folder before booting again!
6) YOU ARE ROOTED!
7) Install BusyBox (see Tools section)

I've managed to make a backup using MTK droid and root tool. hackwerk, it seems you are getting ahead of me now can you post your recovery if it's working ? thanks !
Is it safe to install and activate Xposed framework on the E3 ?
I got a notification today about a 8.23 Mb update ! But there is no changelog anywhere and I don't want to install it yet...
Anyone got it ?

Yes I already have a datamap / scatter file (from MTK Droid) and used it succesfully to dump / backup all blocks to images (recovery.img boot.img android.img etc) on my non-rooted phone! (however USERDATA block fails in SP Flash Tool, and I do not know the end address of the ROM thus cannot dump the last block (__NODL_BMTPOOL))
Made a CWM custom recovery with the Official CWM Builder online, but the new output recovery was larger than my stock input one!?
Big problem for now, as I cannot fit it in the current recovery space?!
Xposed I do not know? However I strongly advise everyone NOT to install / run programs or apps or packages etc which are not on XDA or are closed source! There's a LOT of virussing / spying / trojanning going on in this world.
The official Acer update is only (as far as I found out);
1) Update of the build from Acer_AV052_E380_1.007.00_EMEA_GEN1 > Acer_AV052_E380_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1
2) Update of the APN version from APN 2.053 > APN 2.062
I colored the 2 changes green in my FP.
So just do it, its fine I guess, and we will get Android 4.4 Kit Kat soon anyways...
Ok, and do you think that with root I would be able to retrieve this last block ?
I can confirm that even after reboot the root is there ! I used Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to make the OTA update, just to be safe and it managed after 2 restores to put back root. I don't know if it was needed.
I don't see any change with this update, just a traduction error corrected in the settings menu (flip cover wake up)...
Would be nice to have a changelog from Acer just to know !
I can also confirm that Xposed Framework is perfectly working on this phone.

Size of the last 2 partitions is now known and added but the reason it cannot be read by SP Flash Tool is that the sizes are not a multiple of 512 or so!?
Yeah baby! Great news!
I managed to install the ClockworkMod Recovery (rua1 autoCWM 5.5.0.4) made by the MTK Droid Root & Tool, and Downloading it to my phone in the older SP Flash Tool 3.1344!
After that of course installed SuperSU and we are ROOT, by a simpel/safe/clean method!
Links and stuff are in the first post.
Problems/ToDo now:
1) This CWM is removed after a normal (re)boot and replaced by the stock one (Android system recovery 3e). How!? And how to stop this?!
2) Newer CWM (6.0.4.7) like the one the online CWM Builder makes for me (altering my stock image) seems to big for the partition
3) Custom ROM making (CyanogenMod!!!), but let's wait for 4.4 Kit Kat and the sources of that, which will be available in the next months.
Data to Ext SD
We need to extend space to our external SD card, as the internal phone memory is not huge.
However I really really cannot see all differences with pro's and con's anymore between all options, so please help me!
What should we do, with this rooted stock Acer ROM (Android 4.2.2)(with EXT4 partitions and CWM recovery)?
1) Use one of the famous scripts INT2EXT, Data2EXT/D2EXT, Mount2SD/M2SD, Apps2SD/A2SD etc. etc.
1b) For INT2EXT we need Init.d support, so whats the best way to add that? An App like Init.d Toggler or Universal Init.d or so? (4.4 support would be nice!)
2) Just use simple symlinks with Link2SD/L2SD or Apps like FolderMount etc
3) Repartition and make data partition on SD, using Meteos etc
4) Use one of the many Apps to move Apps, like Titanium Backup etc.
What CAN, and SHOULD we try/use? Please advise me?
Have you already seen this behaviour of a custom recovery reverting back to stock after reboot ?
I've always used link2sd with my previous phone, so far I put my apps on sd using the android built-in option on my E3, because I haven't reached the internal storage limit yet...
Are we only 2 having this phone ?^^

From what I can see now, you should install SuperSU immediately the first time in CWM, and THEN reboot. SuperSU asks for permission for Acer system update and you should deny that. CWM will then stay. However, you could also update (to 4.4 later) and then flash the CWM again of course.
Yeah the phone is JUST released, so we are the first. Probably some more people will join in the next months!

ROM Dump / Partitions / Scatter
You CAN NOT dump/read your phone with the official Acer drivers (no virtual COM port)!
I now succesfully used PDANet (drivers), but a lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers (MT6589 VCOM, MTK Preloader etc.: All the same old v 1.1123.0).
The only tool (see Tools section) working after a lot of trying (!) for me was (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344, and sometimes the newest 3.1408, both icw MTK Droid 2.5.3!
Read these 5 great (similar) ROM dump / flash tutorials:

Rooting (CWM > SuperSU)
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS CAN BE DIFFICULT OR EVEN DANGEROUS!!!
Steps 0-4 are to be found explained more thouroughly and with images, in the tutorials in the ROM Dump section. Read them. Read them well!
All tools can be found in the Tools section.
0) Install drivers with a good USB virtual COM port emulation. Most simple is to install PDANet (4.15), but lot of people seem to use the VCOM drivers / MT6589 VCOM / MTK Preloader etc. (All the same old v 1.1123.0). Make sure connection is OK, and MTK Droid works (when phone is on)!
1) Create scatter file or use mine.
2) Read back (stock) recovery (or all) partitions with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or download my stock recovery img here.
3) Let MTK Droid alter the recovery image and make a custom CWM one of it.
4) Download (to phone) the custom CWM recovery with (old) SP Flash Tool 3.1344 using scatter from 1, or use mine.
5) Copy SuperSU zip to SD card, and boot your phone into CWM recovery (hold volume up and turn phone on), and then Install zip from SD > install SuperSU. Do it the first time in CWM, because a reboot without root REVERTS recovery to stock (safety by Acer?!)!
6) YOU ARE ROOTED!
7) Install BusyBox (see Tools section)

Developing / Custom ROM's
None yet, but we hope for a CyanogenMod and ClockworkMod Recovery, although this MediaTek support is not expected :crying:
But due to the fact that the E2 and E3 are almost the same (a part from the screen and cams), we hope for mods/ports of for instance:
E2 SC0RPION ROM
E2 JellyXperia ROM
E2 MIUI 5 ROM
Your custom ROM for the E3 here soon?
Kernel sources in the Official section!!!
Tools / Fixes / Hacks
Kernel sources can be found in the Official section!!!
Tools
MTK2000 is a great MediaTek-hack site with frequent updates of SP/MTK Flash Tool and more!
SP Flash Tool / Smart Phone Flash Tool (v3.1408.00)(super tool for MT65xx phones!)(new code/layout from 3.1352 up, and for recovery flash you MUST use older 3.1344 etc!!!)
MTK Flash Tool (v5.1320)(super tool for MT62xx phones!)
MTK Droid Root & Tools (2.5.3)(great tool, to create scatter (datamap) file (Succeeded! See ROM Dump section) etc.)
MTK Rom Studio (1.1.77.266)(by Linerty)
Multiple MTK (Engineer) Apps / Tools on Google Play, like Mobileuncle MTK Tools (2.9.9)
Xposed (2.5.1) Framework (modify ROM without flashing)
Titanium Backup (6.1.5.4)(backup/restore, and remove or move apps, also system apps)
SuperSU (1.94)(install via CWM to root phones etc)
BusyBox (11 / 1.22.1)
Fixes
Bad GPS fix with MobileUncle MTK Tools (or MT GPS EPO Fix)
Camerafix (by ventus00): Drag Camera app to homescreen into "App info" which brings you to "Gallery" app info. Press Force stop > Clear data. What fixed the cam was pressing "Clear defaults" under "Launch by default".
Hacks
To boot into recovery/fastboot mode, hold Volume Up while powering device on.
To make Acer's drivers also recovery/fastboot compatible, add this line to your "android_winusb.inf" files in the maps in submap "drivers" (and then install/update drivers in Windows Device Manager): %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
Repartition and extend space to SD with Meteos App here or here (root required)(more partition info here)(not tested yet)
Use external SD for apps with the famous INT2EXT script or check all options like App2SD, Mount2SD, Data2SD etc
More?
To Do / Problems
Which script/app to use for data > ext SD? See post #6 etc!
Which method to use to get init.d support?
Custom recovery ClockworkMod RUNNING (5.5.0.4 with MTK Droid) but the CWM custom one from CWM Builder online) seems to large :/
Besides the CWM, build and test custom TWRP Recovery, and Carliv Touch Recovery.
No custom ROM like CyanogenMod yet :/

Porting custom roms from Acer Liquid E2 to Acer Liquid E3 it's very simple.
All you need to do is to take boot.img (kernel) from your stock rom and then if you want I can help you to port kernel to your e3

Welcome Marco and thanks!
Our ALE3 stock boot.img and the kernel source (both still 4.2.2) are already available and I really welcome you to help us.
Although we are also very much waiting for the 4.4 Kit Kat release which is almost there (Q2)!
Ps. Is it (still) hard/impossible to get a CyanogenMod (which I LOVE and am very used to) clone running on our ALE3 (because of MediaTek MT6589?)?
Unlock
Can you tell me if any of the above will unlock my new E380 ? Or do I need to wait for a custom ROM to be ported ?
Many thanks.

I own a Acer Liquid E2 and I ported CM11 from Wiko Stairway (MT6589) to my phone thanks to some patches and libs. At the moment developers have to fix camera,bluetooth, hw acceleration and some little bugs.
I can port this roms but I haven't got a Acer Liquid E3 so I can't test them.
EDIT: I'm gonna port these kernels, but I can't upload those roms because of my bad connection
So all you had to do is to download the roms, replace my kernel in the rom and replace libs with stock libs (they are located in system/lib/modules )
Jellyxperia kernel:
https://mega.co.nz/#!8ZVHzTwJ!kQO_A9AJdLx2Mz3u1ctZ5-IhuEUZvFJOb-SxG9LuyJA
MIUI kernel
https://mega.co.nz/#!gJtQVSCQ!5IdxGHxOobBfGblp8Dd7AUM03prNScxaIudSXT5879E
Try and tell me if I succeed
As long as key features of our (ALE3) phone are not supported in custom ROMs, like camera, I will not (try to) flash/test or modify them.
I am not a developer, and I really demand basic features like making a picture
And again, maybe we should start fukkin around when 4.4 (and sources of 4.4?) are released!

What exactly do you mean by unlock? Rooting? Pattern/PIN lock? SIM / network lock?
Rooting:
See the first post (FP) / topic start (TS) if rooting is what you want and try the simple but obscure Kingo method or flash CWM and install SuperSU etc (complicated but trusted / universal method).
SIM / Network lock:
If rooted, you can install all apps (signed and unsigned) and do everything in your phone you want to, so install a SIM unlock app (OWN RISK), or use a complicated but more trusted file edit method (OWN RISK). A good app option seems to be the famous MobileUncle MTK Tools (see Tools section in FP), as it has a Permanent Unlock option for both SIMs in the Engineer Mode (MTK)!
PIN / Pattern:
A million methods via ADB, or (CWM) recovery etc, like these, but just Google man!

So you have CM11 running, but with these problems (because of the MT6589), on your ALE2?
And you did (or also) run customs SC0RPION, JellyXperia and MIUI (only/all three?) and without big problems (so I can probably use those on daily basis)?
Which one do you like best? SC0RPION seems most updated, newest and best fitting (ALE2 based), MIUI seems older and simpler, and Jelly is based on an other phone?!
I do not understand how I would be able to port them to our ALE3. Can you explain it more elaborate please?

Yes I meant network unlock (use a phone on an alternate network to that to which it is locked)
Three (UK) have kindly agreed to unlock without charge .. So I just need to root as I need to port some sideloaded apps accross from an old HD.
All the best

CM11 is still buggy on mt6589, not only on my phone.
I tried those roms and they are bugfree except jellyxperia which is not multilanguage, in fact only english and chinese.
Honestly I prefer Sc0rpion rom because of its performance/battery life.
About porting roms, you should follow these steps:
1 - Download rom you want to port
2 - On your stock rom, go to system/lib/modules and copy all the libs inside this folder on your sd card
3 - Open custom rom zip and replace custom libs (in the same folder) with your libs
4 - Now replace boot.img of the rom with the ported boot.img which I gave you (i.e. ALE3Jellyxperia)
5 - Make a backup of your stock rom, Wipe data/factory reset and flash the zip in CWM
Yesterday I forgot Sc0rpion kernel, so you can download it here:

Thanks a lot but after my whole journey (see FP) I just finished configging my phone and am very happy at the moment.
I will try it later, but maybe 4.4 (will be released for us, inc kernel source) will be my next step, and I hope CM11 4.4 customly made from/for this!
How did you make these boot.img images for our ALE3 (from ALE2) btw?

I see that you have already asked this in Cgef Central forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/help-help-compile-kernel-make-manifest-t2894423).
That's a good place to ask IMO.
You can find some general guides for porting CM ROM here:
1. Android Development and Hacking > Android Software Development > [GUIDE]How to port roms to your Device
2. Android Development and Hacking > Android Software Development > [GUIDE] How To Port Different Roms to Your Device - For CM, AOSP & AOKP
And there are some instructions on the CM website itself.
Maybe that can help you to port CM for your device.
Thread closed and thank you !

Mediatek to Snapdragon porting guide

Porting guide Credits to Dragos Andrei . facebook post credit to IACOB IONUT
You can port from MTK to MSM or from MSM to MTK
For LP :
MSM : Kernel - 3.10.54 to MTK : Kernel - 3.10.65
For MM
MSM : Kernel - 3.10.48 to MTK : Kernel - 3.18.19
First part Boot.Img
1.Replace kernel from stock to port
2.From init.rd all files need compared-named need to be same from stock bootimg and use your brain to change Mount points in init.rc(also init.qcom.rc)
3.Compare all and need to have some knowledge for this.No noobs or beginners.
Second part System
1.Apps.only if is something from mtk or snapdragon replace and delete all which is not for your chipset
2.Bin folder.Delete and replace with Stock.This is need because is different from mtk or snapdragon
3.Etc folder.Delete Firmware Wifi Bluetooth all folders which is like from aosp(for example amigo ui use special folders to boot their rom).Files for custom os need to be not changed.only which is for your soc.
4.Framework.For Snapdragon delete all which begin with mediatek-..... and replace from stock with qc... or qcom... and compare all which is from stock with port.Also fromm framework replace from framework-res.apk(res/xml)-storage.xml
5.All mtk...libs deleted and replace all which have same name in lib...so All which is not for porting os from port need to be deleted and not replaced from stock.(can cause bootloop)
6.Usr.Delete and replace this folder with stock.
7.Vendor.Nothing not need to be changed.Only lib need to be compared and changed if is needed.
8.Rfs.Delete and replace from stock
9.Build.prop.Change especially for your chipset
Final part.Meta Inf
Change only mount points.
For final you need to have some knowledge about all files from your socs......Also a second porting guide will be released for noobers.
Second porting guide
1.From stock delete only app priv-app media fonts tts build prop and framework(move to another dir)
2.Replace from port folders but framework delete mediatek or qc files but copy from
stock missing files and delete files which is in plus.
3.Lib.Delete qc or mtk and replace all which is desired from stock.
4.And all folders like from three step.
This guide is desired for devs which have some experience for porting.Also is not a officially guide can be unstable and not work but need to be tried.For mine worked to port amigo ui from mtk to msm & color os

Discussion V5 K3DX-V5G
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=944204
There is new firmware available from chinese versions (latest 1.3)
Firmware in China
http://www.shuajibao.com/rom/Zte/23777
Version 1.3 is not official. It is a custom ROM by this russian guy... Sidorovvitalik.
But development has already stopped because he is selling his ZTE V5 K3DX-V5G.
K3DX V5G stockrom
Please can someone upload the stockrom.
After scouring the internet for hours, I stumbled upon this post:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=944204&st=220
And guess what, I found the firmware for the device! Eventually, I was able to fix my bricked K3DX V5G, and here it is:
https://yadi.sk/d/TSjrTYbKBV4KWA
What I did was:
1. Decompressing the file
2. Flashing it with fastboot
3. Device resurrected!
Fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
edit: found out that it is a clone of ZTE v5 pro N940SC

Hmm well, have u tried peeking at the device manager when you phone is connected to your PC in fastboot mode?
If there's an entry showing your device you will need grab a fastboot binary to flash the firmware.
Here's a link to the tool called minimal ADB and Fastboot: here
You will also need to extract the firmware to somewhere in your drive.
Having done all the extraction and installation,
and since you're on Windows, you should do:
Bash:
\path\to\fastboot flash:raw boot \path\to\boot.img
\path\to\fastboot flash system \path\to\system.img
where \path\to\fastboot points to the path where you have extracted/installed the tool (or if you have added its path to the PATH environment variable, you can avoid the hassle to write the full path), and \path\to\boot.img and system.img points to absolute path of the extracted firmware.
Then, you are good to go!

I regret to tell you that, no. Currently I have been using the phone as a debian server, since the LCD has been inadvertently broken ( I exerted too much force on it ). Moreover, the device doesn't recognize its battery, which suggests that I might have broken some part of it. Therefore, I have kinda lost any hopes for it. Plus, my linux machine is not powerful enough to build an android OS ( what do you expect much from an intel celeron? ).
PS: I might do it once I get my hands on a much powerful one, or maybe a powerful enough VPS? I am not quite sure but currently I am still in high school, meaning that I may or may not have time....
Best regards,
B83C
