How about this device guys??? It seems to be new. Its specs look very nice. MTK 6575, 1gb ram, 4.3 inch 960*540, android 4.0.3, 2 sim, 2000mah battery (not sure about chinese battery indicators though ). Anyone has got this phone??? I didn't resist and ordered it today P
No one has seen/tested this device yet??? The specs seem really nice!!!!
Funny. I just googled it to compare the specs from multiple sources to verify the true battery specs and I found this link.
Looks promising, I really liked the G21 mtk6575 although I got "cheated" on believing it was qHD as the specifications given. It really is WVGA and the batteries were promoted as 2000mah, yet they were 1800mah.
Tell us if the specs were true whenever you recieve it.
I see there is no feedback yet as this device is pretty "new". I will surely give some info when I get it to my hands...
Here's a youtube video (hands-on) of the phone you're talking about:

I'm pretty sure it's one of those china phones that you can pick up at:

hi, I got the part 2 weeks ago,
a short review I've done in my china mobile master forum,
Short Review ( in German ) : search with google [iGDS] x825a
unfortunately is not my English so well that it is enough to write,
so I put everything on google translate
Unfortunately, I have tried the recovery exchange "with no backup ... what a black screen had to follow, and now it is currently running only with the ZP100 zopo ICs as an emergency solution. but the seller wants to take care of a Rom ,let's see
briefly in English, for the questions
The battery is labelt with 2000 mah , and Looks Good enough for my work
Standby with the zopo zp100 Rom :
with little use, 50% after 3 days ,

Hope have give a Little Impression

I still cannot root from that way, it say "exploit not found". Do you have any solution else?
Hi,the zopo Rom i had actually just want to try it ,
after I got me a black screen (in an attempt to exchange the recovery).
should have thought it fit the same baseband version and related hardware as well as doing anything , other than the home soft keys and the camera back, everything else works without crashing.
I Install the New Update from 8.6.12 , as Tf Update zip.
In standart recovery , you can go :
- phone Out
- Plug on pc ( When you have Install , right mtl. 6575 driver )
- Presse Vol + and power , wait seconds , Boot in recovery ( the simple version , without Backup Funktion )
@thanhbere
Whit this Files i make :
1.Please download root file on
www.t-kstore.com/4.0root.rar
2.Go to*setting-developer options-click USB debugging
3.Connect the phone with computer,turn on usb device.
4.Click the file you download from the link TPSparkyRoot.bat*
5.Your phone will restart first time,after the phone start finish(until you see the unlock),click enter in the window of TPSparkyRoot.bat.
6.The phone will restart second time,still the same as first time we did.Then start third time,same as we did in last two*times.Click enter,then phone was rooted.
7.You will see two more app was installed in your phone,that mean root phone successfully.
After successfully rooted, it will install rootexplorer.apk Chinese version which is rather useless for installing Market because it's all in Chinese. You should be able to

Did you try zp300 rom? For the buttons it seems to be easier
I turn off and remove battery, then plug into PC. Windows show message "found new hardware" but it's fail immediately after that. In Device Manager, "MT65XX Preloader" appear then disappear repeatly, so I can't install the driver for the device.
Any idea?
Yes , Maybe pdanet
i have Install this , and work .
First ) plug in the phone , with battery and on ( in debug Modus )
Second) Install PDA net , Windows will say critical drivers that they really want?
yes you will, after installation, the phone should be recognized :good:
if you want Root it, the same procedure , applies to plug and pc with battery on, connect as mass storage via android start the bat and follow instructions

I am so sorry if I am bothering you or anything but I was going through the links, very handy and simple, and i came across this in the last link you have put about downlaoding a kernal .TFT
When reading through it says
Now you are ready to install a custom rom/kernel.
Let's start:
You go to development section and choose a rom you want for your device. You download the rom and the kernel for your device (make sure it is the right for yours! Sometimes the kernel is included in the installation zip file of the rom.
Now you have the boot.img and the rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now where is the Development section?
Where do i find the Boot.img?
What is the proper one for my sk17i?
I have downloaded CM9.1 for Mango from the cm official website and there is a boot.img inside the zip, should i just extract the boot.img out and keep it near the .zip file? and should i use this instead of the mini cm provided?
I really appreciate the links you have given and hope all my doubts can be cleared for me to actually start the process
Will hit that thanks button if it is a success :good:

S/W = Software.
To install stock software, even if ur phone is in bootloop, u may use PC Companion.
1. Start mobile in Flash mode (BACK/VOL+/- pressed when phone turned off and connecting usb cable + PC Companion enabled)
2. Agree on loosing all data Choose model (be careful -u20 and sk17i and sk17a are all mini pro, use hardware version marking)
3. allow it to work - it will download stock software for ur mini pro
Effect: unroot stock phone. U can root it again with FlashTool or one of root methods (for sk17i I believe so called zergRush does the job - search forums or gogole it )
Afterwards proceed with instructions for
1. Rooting
2. Unlocking bootloader
3. Reflashing phone with custom kernel and custom ROM
BE ADVISED: Above "root/unlock bootloader" actions usually void ur warranty. Be sure what u r doing, read thoroughly steps to not brick ur phone and do not be scared if bootloop happens - just find a way to enter flash mode again and use other .tft/ROM
OR - if u have already unlocked bootloader - simply download appropriate .tft file and flash it on ur phone using FlashTool. (the so called generic sk17i ROM has been provided in .tft format here: http://rumah-android.com/official-xperia-mini-pro-sk17i-4-1-b-0-431-firmware-ics-4-0-4.html)
U mighgt want to see through some of posts here to reduce ur noobishness http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471521
And use custom kernels/stock roms known for their stability in latest release/nigh release (search for xda forum threads).

Development Section is a section of XDA forum, where crazy programmers deliver their kernels and ROMS...
This link is in Development Section, I believe the CM u r looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629334
Be advised - above CM requires custom kernel sk17i, it says it in Requirements in above link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25550442
If u succeed to unlock bootloader, it gets pretty simple, simpler than in Mihahn guide.
1. Given u have bootloader unlocked: using FlashTool u flash kernel (the .tft file) - thus u won't have to care about separate boot.img / .sin files flashing, they are incorporated in .tft thing.
2, If it suceeds - using flashtool u reset to recovery
3. USING CWM options - u mount ur USB storage
4. U put from ur PC zip with CM9
5. Unmount USB storage
6. Wipe all data as it says in ROM thread - otherwise u risk **** to hit the fan
7. Update from .zip, point to zip on sdcard
8.Relax
9. Get cofee
10. Relax
11. Watch it progress
12. Relax
13. Pray for best
14. After it finishes - reboot to normal. Be advised - first reboot after flashing ROM is always long, linux + ROM does automagic stuff
Short who's who:
kernel; linux kernel, da animal that is engine of subsequent android devices (i.e. kernel with Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Beans Adnroid releases) U NEED CAREFULLY CHOOSE THE ONE APPRIOPRIATE FOR UR DEVICE
ROM - closest to operating system u get on mobile devices, u might have different ROMs wortking on specific kernel
CWM - clockworkmode recovery - ur last resort if **** hits the fan to change ROM without reflashing kernel
I hope I got this as simple as I could... Sorry, I was former mobile s/w developer, such stuff is just usual for me, my stock u20i software didn't last 24h - I just immediately reflashed it co CM6, later to CM7 - just to have some options not available in stock rom connected to power management and application management.

Yes.
Generic ROM / Repair options brings u back to stock sk17i SE ROM. I dont remeber if repair option uploaded latest update, if yes - u might still have to use generic sk17i tft thing.
With restoring option - to be honest I didn't test it. It didn't worked well for me on CM6 and CM7 upgrade, yet possibly I did not all the things right. Still, if u have backed up apps and data on sdcard, it might be possible - please check it before reflashing ROMS (just root, install latest titanium backup and simply test the stuff).
Good luck on ur journey to reflash...

U can choose any CyanogenMod marked as suitable for ur phone (xperia mini pro, sk17i), yet
- PAY ATTENTION TO REQUIREMENTS: rooting, unlocking bootloader, which kernel version etc.
- READ SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE EXECUTING! Very important... developer put most important informations in posts, yet specific issuies are reproted and solved as froum thread goes by
Step 1 is done
Okay, I have Restored the phone to factory using SUS

HELP
I have flashed the kernal to a xperia arc kernal (TO downgrade for rooting)
I start up doomlords rooter thingy
And once i press anykey its on this
daemon not running. Start it now
daemon started successfully
And its just there
Ive used this program to root before and it worked
Btw after installing the neo kernal the phone doesnt restart, only on black scree, ive gotten that before but it had rooted successfully before
Please help me out :/
what are you doing?
if you want cm10, you don't need to root you phone, just simply flashing the rom will give you root
also flashing a kernel not meant for your device will obviosely create problems
instead try flashing this kernel
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076764
and this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1780326
Sorry for the inconvinience
Alright then, sorry for my stupidity, i realized the phone had to be connected in MSC
*Facepalm*
Rooting done, going to now flash it back
Wish me luck :fingers-crossed:
Thanks alot

Seems to me u probably have a device not "introducing" itself properly Or maybe it's build...
Maybe try the other way around and it right since the beginning.
Get yourself first:
- stock kernel & s/w rreinstalled (via PC Companion)
- since this is sk17i - unlock ur bootloader via official Sony way: http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ (yet first watch the tutorial form Mihahn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31376248#post31376248 )
- get urself latest FlashTool and install it (http://androxyde.github.com/), use it to root ur phone -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30441163#post30441163
-
- go in very details through here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629334 and
1. download Kernel TFT (appropriate one) and flash it using flash tool (and guess what... here is picture guide by Mihahn: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879982)
2. upload CM9-3 to sd card and try again with CWMRec/Flashtool mode install (depending whether u download .zip or .tft with ROM)
and read read read before u do smthng bad to ur small friend.

If I ever meet you in real life, i would give you a hug
I dont know how to thank you!
It worked, i followed the original instructions which are quoted above ^ and it worked
I used a .img file to flash using flashtool and then flashed using CWM6 which came with the kernal
In the startup process
One thing that is a bummer is the slide out keyboards symbols which are printed on my phone do not match the ones which came with CM9
Meaning, on letter 'M' there is the symbol "%" in blue, so when i press the function button on the keyboard i end up with another Symbol when pressing "M", any way to fix it??
And one more thing
I have CM9, is it recommended to install CM10 nightly or should i wait for a stable release?
And if CM10 was good to install what steps should I use to install it?
Should i just place the .zip in the root of sd, then bootup in CWM and then install zip from sdcard?
Or i use the method you gave above?
Or I just boot in CWM and clear data and install from SD?
Hoping for a reply, and thanks alot! :laugh:

The CM10 Nightly i download from CM official website has a boot.img inside the zip

yep any cm10 kernel would work, however the fxp one does not have the best battery life or the best performance but it is the most stable
Dear Friends,
I'm having problem with "Pantech Sky Vega A850L" .... I bought it used from the local market. It was working fine until after a day , I popped out the SIM & restarted the phone. Since then, it shows me a screen saying "System Restart because of Application Operation Error". I found a ROM online but dont know how to flash it as everything I found was in Chinese or Korean. Can any good soul here help me?

well if you dont really need to flash the rom you can go into recovery by holding power button and volume down or up while the device is off and you can factory reset from there. let me know if anything happens, im on pretty much most of the day.

Installing a .BINX file is one option but you can also flash a stable custom ROM from CWM Recovery. The first link below has a link to the "Fastboot Mode Drivers" as well.

I need help...with A890s
Hello to all you experts.
I just acquired A890s and it is on ROM in which alot of features are not working.
i want to reset back to stock. I have downloaded latest binx file but i do not how to flash it.
Sky Vega Flash Tool B2 fails to work. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I went through a similar situation and had to get it flashed with a new ROM. I tried installing 6.0 but it didn't work. I went for 5.0 instead.
how can i install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529678
step by step would help
im a noob
I'm a noob too. The following worked for me:
1) Root your device. My device was on on jelly bean. Step by step guide here:
[not yet allowed to post outside links]
My understanding is, that you may use a more recent CWM recovery version.
2) Download the ROM and put it on the device (I stored it on the second sdcard)
3) Download gapps (Google applications) and store the file on the device
4) Flash the ROM and then gapps. I have used a guide I can´t find, but Google is your friend, searching [How to install CyanogenMod on gt-p6800] or likewise. Example that could work:[not yet allowed to post outside links]
On my device (GT-P6800) this ROM has a problem with the graphics driver. It will go to sleep of death (or similar, look at the end of the thread).
I followed the advice of the developer and switched back a min.freq. of the GPU to 100 MHz. The tablet is now working perfectly!!
I can send you a private message with links if you like.
Good luck.
Finally, after a series of studies and tests not always gone well, it turns out the first alternative to the official firmware ROM.
Unfortunately we are not yet able to have control on the terminal, since no one on the horizon hopes to release source code, but surely it is still a revolutionary firmware, and although it is a photocopy of the stock firmware, once installed you will not need to make any other changes especially.
Nuff said, I shall list the features of this ROM, as amended and then inside:
PERFECT ROM V1:
1) Based on the latest version of the stock firmware (31/12/2015);
2) Root included;
3) BusyBox included;
4) Recovery TWRP included;
5) BOOT.IMG unlocked;
6) Firmware fully translated into Italian (some applications had not the Italian language);
7) Customizing the boot logo;
8) Customization of the animation in the opening;
9) Make changes to build.prop;
PERFECT ROM V2:
1) Based on the latest version of the stock firmware (28/01/2016);
2) Root included;
3) BusyBox included;
4) Recovery TWRP included;
5) BOOT.IMG unlocked;
6) Firmware fully translated into Italian (some applications had not the Italian language);
7) Customizing the boot logo;
8) Customization of the boot animation;
9) Make changes to build.prop;
10) Removed applications "CallerId Search", "JIAJINAgingTest" and Launcher iBingo (potential sources of malware);
11) Added launcher "Smart Launcher" to replace iBingo (optional and uninstallable);
12) Added Chronos widget (in system);
13) Added notification tones.
IMPORTANT!!!
The V2 version was released in 2 versions:
1) FULL VERSION FIRMWARE - full Firmware of all its parts, ideal for those who want to flash the complete firmware and especially for those who do not possess the V1 version of " Perfect ROM ";
2) VERSION UPDATE - The same firmware, but which inside contains ONLY UPDATES from version 1 to version 2. Designed for those who already have the V1 version and wants to upgrade to the new firmware version, without losing anything.
Whatever version of the firmware you chose to put, the ROM is flashed as if it were in effect an official firmware, then using SP Flash Tool.
Council staff, it is a ROM-based firmware official, who wanted to avoid losing your personal data (applications, etc.), can make advance the backup of your existing firmware and, after you install and configure this, restore its back-up created ONLY PART OF USERDATA !!!! You will have the new firmware, but with your personal data. On how to back up, I refer you to post already abundantly treated on site.
I avoid putting screenshoot, would not make sense as a question of changing the official firmware that we all know.
Since this is a first version, I think it goes without saying that all users are welcome tips, questions, clarifications, report problems and mistakes and all you can relate to this ROM ONLY.
NEW!!!
Menu Reboot original
I have created the file "Reboot original" in order to don't have anymore the reboot menu in italian language. This file you can use ONLY ON "PERFECT ROM V2". I'm not sure that will work if you use it on V1 version.
This is the file to flash with TWRP: Reboot original

Yes, is correct....if you flash this "PERFECT ROM" you'll never need to improve others mod, because all the mods (root, recovery, busybox, etc) are integrated in my ROM.
I called the ROM in this mode, because you non need to do anithing after the installation!!!
P.S. I'm sorry for my poor english
Thank you

I'm trying to install your ROM with the official Flashing Tool_v3.1504 but I am running into problems (comports and checksums).
Can I install your Perfect ROM with the other SP_Flash_Tool_5.1532? If yes, where can I find the instructions to install the full ROM as a firmware upgrade? Are they the same as for installing just TWRP as you describe in your other post?

how to format the stock rom
hi...i want to format the stock rom because i installed accidentally a malware from playstore that i cant delete with any malware software and the only thing i can do now is to deactivate the file that is infected.
1)i know hot to root the phone but i must first delete the virus...can i format the stock rom with SP Flash Tool?
2)to install perfect rom i just have to download it with sp tool and thats it?
2)if i root the phone ulefone says that we cant receive any updates....so if i choose to install the official updated rom how can i get any future updates? i read somewhere that i can have updates if i reinstall the official flashing Tool v3.1504 , is it true or must i do something else to have updates?
3)can you suggest me any good malware software to avoid future infections.
thanks for your time.
"Perfect ROM V 2.0"
Available on the first page, version "FULL FIRMWARE", designed for people who want to flash the full firmware.
For those who already have the 1.0 version, I'm uploading an "UPDATE" version where there is the opportunity to flash only the changes between the two versions.
Both have to be flashed with SP Flash Tool and you can not flash through recovery. Obviously those who make the UPDATE, do not lose anything, the only changes will be the improvements of the last released firmware (28.01.2016).
IMEI issue
Hi, I downloaded and installed the V2 full rom without any problem... when the phone booted the first time I noticed that there was no signal for either sim cards. I dialed #*06* and saw there was no imei on either. I search on the web for a solution and found a program called "Maui META 3G" and with it I could write the two imei numbers on the phone again... I thought that with this procedure the problem would be solved, but only the first sim card is working, the second one is recognized by the phone and it ask me wich sim card i want to use for calling, data connection and sms, but no signal for the second one... then thinking that the second sim was broken I swapped them and the same happend, the second one was not working and the first one was working. both imei are good now but the sim card I put on the second slot does not works.
Can you help me please?
Hi Cuvetto,
great work creating a custom rom, intend to install this weekend, but i don't want to get into trouble like intolko.
Shoud IMEI also be backed up with MtkDroidTool and should after flashing your rom also be restored like userdata ?
And what about mac address, need that also user attention or should that be no problem ?
Thanks for any clearance,

I think that you flashed the rom using "Format all+download" and in this mode, you lose your IMEI.
To restore your IMEI, you can also use other procedure (MobileUncle is an App for this, but don't take it from Playstore, Take it from internet or blackmarket).
I'm sorry for your problem, but noone installed my rom had IMEI problem.

If you want, you can create a bak-up of your IMEI with MobileUncle, (I suggest to do everybody, is a safety procedure)
MTKdroid, doesn't work with our smartphone, you can manage our smartphone, with MobileUncle (take it from blackmarket or internet, not on playstore).
Many people ahve installed my rom, and never noone have lost the IMEI, maybe intolko has made confusion during the flashing procedure.
