I modified the update-script and the build.prop for rename in e1013_hjy1ctp.
And then re-signed with the signed-ROM ZIP_APK,rename update.zip,flash by recovery but now:

Hello,
I'm looking for how to make an update.zip with this firmware Dapeng.
Or how to extract the system.img of this firmware above.
Thank you for your help and sorry for my BAD English !
I gathered all the conversations in XDA about the Dapeng A8500:
jayguruson said:
Dear XDA Noobs and Gurus,
U have this lousy DaPang Dpad which I want to flash, restore, re-rom and just redo. I have managed to completely unlock it and root it but the rom is not available to be backed up or restored. I checked out the root folders and no rom. I have scoured the web and this forum for valuable information but have come up short...
I am unable to get to fastboot mode or find a rom manager that works with it. IF I press the power button, volume rocker up and the menu button, it takes me to "Factory Mode" which has, "Full Test", "Item Test", "Test Report", "Clear Flash", "Version" and "Reboot". Nothing else. I cannot seem to find a restore screen or find a way to restore/flash the original rom or even a new one. I have done my homework around this issue and if there is someone out there that might help me here, great, if not, I will keep plugging away.
Thank you for any help (in advance). Oh and Happy Holidays (Merry Christmas)!

hey jayguruson if u press vol. up + power u will end up at the recovery mode, where u can flash / install 'update.zip' file. i tried to install DSP (equalizer) and uRevoke (some sort of custom recovery mode but were meant for a certain brand phone) but failed. it just stopped halfway. i also used titanium backup to save a backup file (update.zip..inside there is a META-INF and data files, is this the rom backup file?).

I finally decided to look at the datasheet after I couldn't find any useful info to overclock MT6516, & I don't think it can be done. MT6516's max speed is 416Mhz (not 460Mhz) and it's already set to run max speed by default. Even if we manage to configure the scaling governor, that would have been futile (unless you want underclocking )
It would be nice to hear opinions from the real experts here though.

i tried widget overclock. it shows 200+. am i right to assume that is the A8500 speed running. if that is the speed then it can be overclocked, probably to 400 or 500.
i also tried setcpu. it shows a reading of max speed about 500+ but it can't run, always FC.
my understanding is, if the stock rom can be re-packaged (hopefully with a customized 'kernel') and re-flashed back, then the rom will become a customized rom. and all overclock program will only works with a customized rom/kernel.

update zip file
here's the titanium backup update zip file for whoever can make use of it. i m not very sure if it is the original rom file. i created it with titanium backup pro.
http://www.4shared.com/folder/q7JWoBJX/_online.html
i m also not very sure of this upload file. 1st time doing this uploading. i can't upload with megaupload and a few other becos my country malaysia had blocked those sites. so i hope those who have files for sharing can also upload to 4share. tq
Hi cwkhong ,
to start thank you,but the files that are needed is not in the update.zip titanium.
If you want, I will explain how to quickly extract the whole system of Dapeng it's very easy because I need it urgently
1)you need rooted your Dapeng with z4root in Dapeng tools :
(after installed z4root,execute click on permanent root and after the Dapeng re-boot and you rooted)
2)you need install RootExplorer in Dapeng tools.
3)Open RootExplorer and copy the file system (for copy you need long press on the file)
4)open file sdcard in RootEplorer and past,wait for the copy
5) you upload the file system
(Have no fear, no personal data is in system)
There is another way to extract all: boot.img, system, recovery.
This method by the SDK is very interesting in the future if you want to manipulate the system Dapeng and see many other things.
I think I'll need (boot.img) to create an update.zip for recovery by the Dapeng and to provide a ROM for other people who have blocked their Dapeng A8500.
1)you need rooted your Dapeng with z4root here in Dapeng tools :
(after installed z4root,execute click on permanent root and after the Dapeng re-boot and you rooted)
2)you need install the SDK on your PC,just copy SDK file in C:/ :
3)you go in Dapeng and active "débogage USB"in Paramètres/applications/développement.
4)now you follow this tutorial :

ok here is the file (/system) that i copied, i hope this is the one. http://www.4shared.com/zip/Y6wSPyz6/system.html
r u going to create a custom rom? or u unpack, edit, repack and reflash? so that means after this the phone can be overclock?
maybe u teach me how to unpack and repack the rom. i want clean out all those bloatware/rubbish in the original rom to become a clean light rom.
what is the 'recovery-update.zip' file i found in ur Star tools? is that a custom recovery mode that will overide the stock one?
i really hope u can make it. good luck

Hi,
in the Dapeng tools there is a clockrecovery-update.zip, renamed update.zip, you copy your SD and get into the recovery to original flash update.zip.
Then to activate the button return to confirm press: Vol + and return to activate the confirmation button with return key.(insist if not work)
Now not need to sign update.zip for this clockrecovery but is tempory after re-boot not installed, look here:

speakers issue
hello there it's been awhile, any development?
anyway i wonder if there is a way to adjust the phone speakers setting, front and back. i find the sound loud but distorted, very high pitch near crackling. or maybe it is the speakers itself, poor quality. if so, is it possible to replace the speakers on my own without sending to phone shop. i have a few old phones with okay speaker quality.
that's it?
so nothing? it is frustrating to see improvements on those A1000,A2000,A3000..etc but nothing for A8500. guess i'll just use it as a phone, what a shame.
hi, i see you have updated the firmware to A8500 android 2.2 sucessfully.i just checked there is a upgrade version of A8500, called A8500+, it is android 2.3 with MTK6573, do you know whether your firmware can work in this phone?
2.3 update?
where is that a8500 2.3 update? my phone is mt6516. its different fr mt 6573 probably lower cpu. can u explain how to update?

The phone goes off whenever the screen is timed out (say display time out at 30 seconds, then the phone shut off automatically after 30 seconds). Even, if I press the power off button to turn off the display, the phone goes off and never switched on pressing the power button. To switch on the phone, I have to re-insert the battery and then press the power on button.
Please advice me how to set the screen time out and power on problem. thanks.
Dapeng A8500+ MT6573 Bricked solid
Hi Bruno,
I happily used the phone for about seven months.
Everything was great until I installed ROM Tool Box, and as soon I installed some larger system font, the phone died instant death. I've tried flashing tools but, by using half a knowledge combined with even lesser:silly: patience, the result is that now I can't even get to the new Android boot logo. Here are the ROM details:
MS Board: e1103_v73_hjy1ctp
UBoot Ver.: 2010.06

I'm fully prepared to make a donation to enable you to carry on your great work for the community. One also must pay for the foolishness.
Best,
Lev.

This is my first tablet. I do have one question on this CWM. Let's say if I go flash it with a customized rom and the touchscreen does not work. Since the touchscreen does not work, I have no way to install the novotool.
1. Is CWM still in my tablet after flashing?
2. Is there a way for me to run CWM w/o novotool? Such as pressing particular hardware buttons before it loads ICS.
Sorry for the newbee questions.

I flash with alphadroid and it booting fine. Only one big problem is that touchscreen is not working at all.
I used wired usb mouse (cheap knock off wireless mouse also working great!) and installed novo tool but cannot reboot into recovery because root permission problem. I tried with hardware button to boot into recovery but none work with power+vol.up button nor power+vol.down button. What else can I do? I really LOVE the rom!!!
EDIT: I can get into CWM by going to SETTINGS --> BACKUP & RESET --> Recovery Mode.
I run FIX PERMISSION but when rebooted the root permission denied is still there when I run TBP.

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

10. You can now delete with MTK Droidtool some China-apps."
PS: Backup Rom made with SPFtools->readback
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?
Cheers,

star b943 (mtk6589 b94m)
could someone translate recovery menu from Chinese Language
Yes the baseband or antennas seems to be crap.
Start download and remove your hands from the device or take it only with two fingers on the upper side, then my downlads finish and downloads show normal values. Speedtest with upload is seems to be fine,...
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:

- 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!

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?
Star
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?
Hi,
I'm badly need some help to revive my (rockchip-rk31sdk-WAWJMDN1KN).
Perhaps someone will give me idea to allocate proper parameter for recovery , kernel , boot , etc...
Usual location for tablet RK3188 Cortex A9 Quad core 1.6 ghz Governor interactive, Kernel 3.0.36+ ,Board hardware RK30Board/ 0000, Android 4.2.2 ;eng.root 20130912.185132 sdk 17, Display 1280x800; dpi;160 size 9.4'
GPU:Mali-400MP, RAM: 2048 Flash:32 gb Build in:16gb actual, wifi, usb, Bluetooth gps= all yes, camer 5MP additional 1.9MP
I decide to go ahead and try some custom rom using RKAndroidTool did not realize that by cleaning IDB I will low level format..
Before doing that I did save few pictures and run log via "android studio" also I backup whole unit via CWM hoping I will always have access to recovery.Unfortunately that not the case.The good think I still have access to RKAndroidTool( the tool is recognizing my device).
I can post link to my CWM backup if may help.
Inside that CWM backup is kernel.bin, system.bin recovery bin all large sizes files (complete CWM of my last working tablet rk3188). Maybe someone be able to advice how to make proper files to revive my system from that backup I have or help me some how to get recovery working so I can use my CWM backup or any other way to make this tab back to life again..
Many thanks for your kindness and time.
Have nice day
Adam
UPDATE ___
RK3188 adb is running no screen__help PLEASE
After erasing IDB in my unknown china tablet and loosing my whole system I was able to load different custom firmware from Chuwi v88 + different kernel and my Tab popup in windows showing 2 extra drives F and G.I did open android studio and notice access to adb and all activity in my android.The RKandroidTool also recognizing my tab.
No reaction to power button only automatically connecting to my comp ( black screen on my tab).
I have original CWM backup of my device.
Can someone advise me how to access recovery from this point or find the way to completely start my tablet.Maybe is possible to recover CWM from adb?I will need some help to use a proper commands perhaps in adb.
Hello,
I need help with rooting my new device - myPhone l-line. This is typical Chinese phone rebranded by Polish company myPhone. It runs Android 5.1 on MediaTek MT6735M with 1 gigabyte of RAM and 3000mAh battery. I tried everything: oneclickroot, Kingroot (PC and APK), Kingoroot (PC and APK), framaroot (device not supported), towelroot (not vunerable to exploit), 360root, Baiduroot, rootkhp and many other metods and my device seems to have very good security background (i am simply amazed by the way, because this device is low-budget phone, about 80$ in my country) and there is no custom recovery to download. I have Oneplus 2 (previously Oneplus One and Nexus 5) phone as my second device and i am really into changing ROMs, recoveries, rooting and modding Android, but i don't know how to crack this myPhone. If there is no option to root this device, i will be very grateful if someone can tell me how can i remove bloatware without root, because this fone is full of uneccessary aplications, which occupy memory and slow down the phone. This is the only reason i want to root this smartphone. Please help me with rooting or if someone know how to compile custom recovery for this phone, i will be very grateful if someone could post it here, i will probably know how to change stock recovery in this phone to custom one (this device seems to have unlockable bootloader, thus i think that custom recovery can be sent to phone via fastboot). Thank You very much for any help and please forgive me if i make any mistake in this post, English is not my mother language. Below You can find full specs of this phone:
Processor: MediaTek MT6735M
Screen: 480 x 854 px (4,50")
RAM: 1GB
Internal memory: 8GB + microSD support
Dual SIM
Rear camera/front-facing camera: 5MPix/2MPix
LTE baseband support: 800, 1800, 2100 MHz
OS: Android 5.1 Lollipop
version of the baseband: MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V8.P28,2016/01/05 20:21

complilation: L-Line_PL_V1.0.9
Android security patch: 2015-11-01
EDIT: I already unlocked bootloader, then i get scatter and stock recovery.img. If these files are needed to compile custom recovery or to get root access - feel free to PM me, because i can't post external links, but still i can send You these files via e-mail.
Cheers
