[Q] Drivers and Rooting related.

Hey guys.. New around the xda forums but not to the Android world.
Coming to the point, Here are the problems i'm facing with my Micromax A110 (Factory version: Andoid Jellybean - 4.1.1)
Everything that i tried so far:
(I have the ADB Interface and the micromax factory drivers in this step)
1. I installed on the Micromax Drivers provided itself by the phone.. the 64bit one as i have Windows Ultimate x64. Now the problem starts when i use the Su Recovery Tool by Bin4ry (or whatever his name is). Everything goes normal..i went by the instructions i.e Usb debug on ---> Media Device. Then on the tool i pressed 1 i.e The normal option and then carry the on screen instructions. It does come to the restore my data part and reboots. Now.. during the reboot, I get a windows update prompt which installs the MT65xx Preloader Drivers. However, the phone does not restart and so as well the drivers as it says device unplugged and then.. poof! Nothing happens.. I have to Remove the battery, restart manually and the program says.. Unable to copy files..Are you root?.. -_- Dafuq?
2. Now i used the famous SP FLASH tool.. but no luck again.. I tried to flash CWM Recovery through it.. but the application has its own problems.. either error 3013 (SOC VERIFICATION FAIL) or again.. the MT65xx driver not found.. AGAIN. -_-" I once also got the 1013 error
I did try disabling the driver enforcement signing but it was of no use (Obviously)
Your help will be appreciated (Thanks option ofcourse). Looking forward to your Reply
-R4vnit
P.S - I dealt with the Mt65xx driver problem, but still.. the Su Bin4ry file cannot flash anything onto the phone (error protocol (status))

[RECOVERY] CWM Recovery for Zen Ultrafone 701HD

Hi all
I've managed to create a CWM recovery for the Zen Ultrafone 701HD..... Thought I'd share this too...
For my tutorial on Rooting the same phone see here :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283125
See the above link to activate USB debugging and install ADB drivers.....
CREDITS:-
I've Tested the CWMr on my own Phone....It Works..
This was made through the resources already available on various threads in XDA..
All credits to the original developers...
Special thanks to Koush Dutta for his online CWM revovery builder.... works like a charm..
I take DO NOT responsibility for any damages - It worked on my phone, no reason it should
not work on the other 701HDs out there.... Take a backup of all important stuff... Better safe than sorry..
STEP 1 - INSTALL PHONE DRIVERS
Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
Go to control panel -> device manager after a few minutes
Right click on Zen Ultrafone and update drivers ... required drivers are attached in above link.
Your device manager should not normally have any unrecognized hardware after this step. ( see attached Image).
The"Android Composite ADB Interface" MUST be listed by now... if not recheck your steps again.
Disconnect and restart your phone and your computer and make sure it stays that way.
STEP 2 -INSTALL THE USB VCOM DRIVER
This driver helps the computer recognize the phone's flash memory when it is SWITCHED OFF.
Disconnect your phone and switch it off... remove battery and put it back in just to make sure.
Keep device manager in windows open.
Connect the phone now.
The computer should list the Preloader in device manager with a yellow triangle.
Right click and install the drivers... accept any prompts to install unsigned drivers as they appear.
Disconnect the phone..
STEP 3 - FLASH THE CWM RECOVERY
Download and extract SP Flash tools to a folder.
Place the scatter file and the recovery image in a separate folder
Open SP Flash tools select the scatter loading file given
CAREFULLY UNCHECK ALL BOXES EXCEPT RECOVERY!! - this is essential!!
Click on recovery and choose the recovery image provided
Press 'Download' button on SP Flash tools.... DO NOT hit the firmware update button...
Now reconnect your phone.... accept any prompts...
When the Green ring appears, you are done...
Please hit thanks..... and please JOIN the forum and leave some feedback...
Edit: - I am somehow unable to uplaod the CWM recovery to xda.... meanwhile i've uploaded it here..
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9ZlmxCxbtQ8UjhfX3ZYRFZmS3c/edit?usp=sharing

Alternate (easier) method
This method needs a rooted phone-
Install mobile uncle tools from Play Store.
Place the recovery.img provided in root of SD card.
open mobile uncle tools and flash the recovery.
Thats It!!

completely lost faith in zen uf 701 hd..
got a product which has few blue lines on the screen and camera not working.
made a refund and looking to buy any other quadcore.
canvas hd, canvas 2 plus, umi x2
which is better?

Sorry to hear that man. I dont believe the canvas is any better in terms of quality control. Where did you buy the ultrafone from? Mine came in pretty good packing.
Looks like I've lost a valuable developer resource

I'd suggest you go for the Panasonic p51. Just wait a few more months - its price is falling by the day
Sent from my ultrafone 701HD using xda app-developers app

Hello all. Received my 701 HD a couple of days back . thankfully no defects in my piece. And phone Is awesome !
And I was really surprised you guys have already rooted And Made CWM ready ! My salutes bro....
Looking forward to root and try better ROms when this new mobile vanity wears off soon
BTW Is there an unrooting method present ? Maybe it will be if help looking at many complaints this phone has
Sent from my ultrafone 701HD using xda app-developers app

Haven't tried to in root it yet. Guess flashing the stock ROM will do.
Sent from my ultrafone 701HD

Oh yes... I Forgot that flashing stock ROM does the trick
But then I guess we will also have to remove the custom recovery to avail warranty . just in case ??
Sent from my ultrafone 701HD using xda app-developers app

Yes. For warranty, you'll have to restore everything to stock state. The stock recovery can be flashed via stools too. Just replace the cmw with the stock recovery in my tutorial.
Sent from my ultrafone 701HD

BTW. I am sure we can find a lot of clone phones of our zen 701. Notably canvas HD, xolo Q1000. Celkon signature HD
Maybe in near future we could port the best roms from them. What say ?

Guys. Is it only me or are you also noticing that Wi fi reception is very weak in this cell ? :banghead:
Sent from my ultrafone 701HD using xda app-developers app

No issues with WiFi here. Tried connecting through public hotspots , mobile thetering, used this phone as hotspot, used WiFi direct with super beam - all work like a charm.

Looks like my WiFi router has gone numb due to cold these days
Any suggestions to improve signal strength of router ? The weak signal is really testing my patience :banghead:
Sent from my ultrafone 701HD using xda app-developers app

Could be due to interference. Try a selecting manual frequency in router

Dudes. Have any of you guys installed custom Roms yet ? The pathetic streaming of YouTube from WiFi in this phone is testing my patience
Sent from my ultrafone 701HD using xda app-developers app

Is your WiFi issue resolved? I be never tried YouTube so far..... Will try and then update

I moved my router to a closer position now. It is better. Will observe for a few more days see how it performs

Bro, follow all the steps of using SP Flash tool which I hope u are following. Now the same error was faced by me, U can just press the volume up key and connect the USB to your PC. Please note U have to hold the volume up key while connecting the USB. and leave immediately ( within 5 secs ) after the USB is inserted.
This has worked for me and 3 other friend's of mine. Best of luck.
Hit thanks If it helps u.

His problem has been solved quite time before.The problem was while flashing via sp tool the flashing process was interrupted because of power failure or something. In such case your pc wont detect your mobile. But that doesn't mean that the device is bricked. All you need to to is uninstall drivers restart your pc and again install the drivers. It will work again:laugh:

[Q] Soft bricked micromax a117(mtk 6589t) debugging mode not turned on

Hi guys,
I just recently happen to soft brick my micromax a117(mtk 6589t chipset) while using a software to increase the ram. I forgot to turn on the debugging mode. Now i am unable to flash and install stock rom cause the debugging mode was not turned on .
I am able to access the "android system recovery" mode. However, when I try to factory reset the phone I get an error showing "mount/data error".
Can anyone please help me fix my phone? I have used this phone for less than a year.
Please help me I do not have a spare phone either

I already tried to do this. However, the SP tools software does not seem to detect my phone. Making it unable to install the stock rom. I have tried installing multiple drivers but none of the seemed to have helped.

1. Power off the device and remove the battery(don't connect to pc juz switch off)
2. Open device manager in pc(control panel -> hardware and sound -> device manager)
3. Double click Ports(COM & LPT). It will show some COM ports available
4. Now connect your phone to pc
5. A new device appears in ports tray named something like Mediatek device(not the full name i cant remember now). It will appear for only few seconds. Before it disappears quickly right click on it and click properties
6. In the properties window goto Driver tab and click Update driver
7. A new window pops out, in that select "Browse my computer for driver software"
8. Now browse for the folder u have the a117 drivers and proceed. Windows will install the drivers.
9. Disconnect the phone and restart the pc
10. Open SP Flash Tools(try latest possible version) with adminstrator privilages, select the scatter loading and browse for the file in stock rom folder and click "Download"
11. Connect ur phone and sp tools will detect the device and wait for the process to complete.
Gud luck :good: :good:
